Chapter 296 was interrupted at an inopportune time.
When Ran Qingxuan heard this, he immediately became excited and quickly called several sisters-in-law and the women from the two families.
"Sister-in-law, Aunt Xiao, Aunt Chen, how are the embroidery of those handkerchiefs and purses on hand going?"
"I have embroidered more than ten handkerchiefs and sachets, and the silk thread is almost used up." Li Ping said.
"Me too. The places outside Fengxian are relatively barren, so I didn't take it out."
The fifth sister-in-law is the best at embroidery, and the handkerchiefs and sachets she embroiders are always the best-selling ones.
But no one knew why Ran Qingxuan asked this. However, the careful third sister-in-law heard it and immediately expressed it excitedly.
"Sixth brother's wife, maybe the officials said that the people in Sitong City are wealthy, so you want us to take all those things there and sell them?"
When the women heard this, their eyes lit up and they looked eagerly at Ran Qingxuan who was serving out dried wolf meat.
"Yes, that's what I was thinking. When you sell the jerky, you can put it next to it. You might make more money than selling it directly to the store."
"Yeah, if it works, I'm sure I can make some money from those handkerchief sachets."
"It's all thanks to you, Sixth Brother and Sister-in-law, for your intelligence. Why didn't we think of it?"
Ran Qingxuan also wanted to keep these things in the open. After all, Fu Fan would always find a chance to spread the news. Instead of arousing suspicion, it would be better to make it look like they could actually make money.
Around 11 o'clock in the morning, all the wolf meat jerky that needed to be fried in heavy oil was taken out of the pot. Almost all the pots and bowls were used, and there was still a large part that could only be cooled and placed on a clean oilcloth.
In order to facilitate the transaction, Ran Qingxuan took out the oil paper he had bought before and packaged it. Normally, the bowls they used for eating could hold one kilogram, so he packed them into two kilograms. Several families and officials helped, and it took them an hour to finish.
This was also the first time for Bu Wei to do such a thing. Looking at the cart full of wolf meat jerky, he was as happy as if he had seen piles of silver.
One pound of wolf meat jerky fried in oil will shrink by four ounces, but even so they can still sell more than a thousand pounds. After thinking about it, Ran Qingxuan asked Bu Wei, who was already a little drunk.
"Boss Bu, how are the prices in Sitong City? What price do you think is a good price for a two-jin bag?"
Bu Wei burped, waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It's worth whatever you think it's worth."
After saying that, he turned around and continued drinking with the dried wolf meat.
Ran Qingxuan looked confused, but Gu Yanzong, who was helping to pack the dried meat, explained.
"You may not know, but Sitong City is surrounded by mountains and built in a basin, which makes it easy to defend but difficult to attack."
"All those merchants traveling north and south from Northern Qi have to pass through Sitong City. After all, there is only one resting place for replenishing supplies within a radius of hundreds of miles. The people in the city also live a prosperous life because of the merchants passing by."
"So no matter what the price is, even if the people in the city buy less, the merchants who travel long distances passing through here will buy it because they want to try something new."
What Gu Yanzong said makes sense. It can be said that the people of Sitong City will not go out easily except staying in Sitong City. How can they not be curious if there is anything new?
Those merchants are all wealthy people, so who can guarantee that they would not be interested in the wolf meat jerky that is so delicious?
Ran Qingxuan is still very confident in his craftsmanship.
Seeing Ran Qingxuan's eyes shining, Gu Yanchen couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
They worked until nearly 2:30 in the morning, when the last batch of packaged dried wolf meat was loaded onto the cart. Although everyone was still tired at this time, they felt it was worth it when they thought about making some money.
The old people and children had fallen asleep because they could not hold on any longer. Bu Wei and some of the officers who had drunk too much had also gone to rest. The officers on night watch had wolf meat jerky in front of them and were sipping liquor from their bowls, fearing that drinking too much at night would cause trouble.
After washing up quickly, Ran Qingxuan dragged her tired body back to the tent. Gu Yanchen considerately helped her take off her shoes. Unexpectedly, after Ran Qingxuan lay down, she fell into a deep sleep before she could say a few words.
Gu Yanchen covered her with the quilt and tidied up her hair that was scattered on her face.
Looking at her tired sleeping face, Gu Yanchen inexplicably recalled the tingling feeling when his lips were touched at night.
Unlike the previous overly direct kiss, that unintentional action was the most fatal to him.
Slowly leaning over, Gu Yanchen was about to kiss his heart-beating little wife beside him when the walkie-talkie he had been carrying with him made a slight rustling sound.
Gu Yanchen froze, and his hands that were supporting the mattress suddenly tightened.
"What's the matter?" There was a hint of impatience in the deep voice. An Er, who was about to speak, trembled and suddenly felt that he might not have come at the right time.
But because of the news that An Yi just brought back, An Er could only bite the bullet and say, "Master, the matter needs to be reported in person!"
Gu Yanchen was about to press the intercom button when he paused and his expression suddenly became serious.
He quietly stood up and observed that the two officers were clinking their glasses. Then, Gu Yanchen took advantage of their unpreparedness and stood at the side of the tent.
He used his Qinggong skills to leave at an extremely fast speed. The sound of his clothes fluttering was covered by the wind, and the officer who was drinking did not notice it at all.
Two quarters of an hour later, Gu Yanchen's figure appeared, and the secret guards who were hiding in a depression immediately knelt on one knee to greet him.
"master."
"Um!"
Everyone heard what happened on the intercom just now, so no one dared to look up for fear of exacerbating his anger.
But seeing that they didn't say anything, Gu Yanchen frowned and looked like he was about to explode in anger.
"Didn't you say we should talk face to face? Why are you all silent now that I'm here?"
When he and Ran Qingxuan fell off the cliff, the secret guards didn't know about it because they took the official road. It was not until everyone arrived in Feng County that they found out from Gu Yanzong.
But before they returned to Qianchong Mountain, they saw someone on the official road. At that time, they were from Huangling Village, secretly escorting the He siblings to the Divine Doctor's Gate.
Thinking of this, Gu Yanchen looked at An Yi, who looked exhausted. It was obvious that he had just returned.
With his eyes slightly narrowed, Gu Yanchen seemed to guess that the matter might be related to the capital.
Sure enough, An Yi raised his head slightly and reported to Gu Yanchen, "Master, after I sent the He siblings safely to the Divine Doctor's Gate, Qu Feng asked me to bring back a letter."
Gu Yanchen took the letter with suspicion, thinking that Qu Feng just wanted to ask about Ran Qingxuan, but he didn't expect that after opening the envelope and reading a paragraph, his breath was instantly choked.
"Does the music have anything else to say?"
"I just want you to be careful, my master. I'm afraid it will happen once we leave Sitong City!"
Gu Yanchen's face was solemn. He put down four bags of dried wolf meat and turned to leave.
After An Yi and the others left, they went to check the things left by Gu Yanchen. Before they opened them, a spicy smell that they had never smelled before rushed into their noses.
"It's hard to believe that the master still cares about us..."
