Chapter 299 Who can do business as well as she does?
"Then let's get rid of Fu Fan first. No matter who the remaining person belongs to, he will be exposed one day."
Noticing the murderous intent in Ran Qingxuan's words, Gu Yanchen quickly understood what she meant.
"Are you talking about the ambush outside Sitong City?"
"Yes, since Qi Ren wants us to die without a burial place, why not use him to cut off Qi Jing's eyes? After all, swords have no eyes!"
Gu Yanchen never found an opportunity to deal with Fu Fan. If Qi Ren really couldn't wait to kill him, he could make Fu Fan's death a matter of course.
"This method is feasible. Regardless of whether Fu Fan is Qi Jing's man or not, he must not be allowed to stay!"
These words reminded Ran Qingxuan, and she felt it necessary to confirm it.
"Let's go back first. No matter where Qi Ren chooses to ambush, we have to get enough rest first."
"good."
The two returned hand in hand, both looking in Fu Fan's direction calmly.
It was not until the next day when the gates of Sitong City were opened that a tide of troops began to move in.
The population of Sitong City is comparable to that of Shuangling City which is close to the capital. There are two city gates alone, with people entering and exiting at the same time. It is extremely lively early in the morning.
But now they are prisoners wearing coarse linen clothes. The merchants noticed them last night and tried to avoid them for fear of being contaminated by bad luck.
Fortunately, it is winter now and the temperature difference between day and night is quite large. Both prisoners and officials wear hoods and scarves, which can at least block some people's sight.
Fortunately, Bu Wei showed the documents to the officers and soldiers guarding the city. Fearing that it would cause unnecessary chaos, the officers and soldiers allowed Bu Wei and his men to take the prisoners into the city first.
"You guys come with me later and let them go back to the supply station first." Bu Wei gestured to Gu Yanchen.
"Okay, thank you very much, Chief Bu."
Upon hearing this, Bu Wei smiled but said nothing. He called on his men to take the others to the inn away from the crowd.
The first thing they had to do this time was to sell the wolf skins and dried wolf meat. After the other prisoners left, Bu Wei and two other officers took them straight to the fur shop.
There was a lot of wolf meat on the cart. People passing by smelled an inexplicable fragrance and turned around to see where the smell came from.
When he saw it was a wolf skin, he looked at it with a bit of surprise.
In the fur shop, the shopkeeper and his masters carefully examined the leathers, then glanced at Bu Wei, the leader, calmly.
"The wolf skin is still intact...but..."
"Forget it. Although it's a little hard to handle, the leather is pretty good. How about one tael of silver per piece?"
Bu Wei was delighted and was about to agree when Ran Qingxuan walked up to him.
"Shopkeeper, I know you might be saying that some parts are not handled properly, but you have to process them again before you can make things. One tael of silver for one piece is a little too little, isn't it?"
Seeing that Ran Qingxuan was young and a girl, the shopkeeper didn't take her seriously at all. Instead, he said with some dissatisfaction.
"Little girl, you don't understand. It's not that I'm deliberately lowering the price, but these are delicate jobs, not to mention time-consuming. If they are damaged during processing, they can't be sold at a high price..."
Ran Qingxuan covered his mouth and chuckled: "The shopkeeper is joking. How can you not handle leather well if you can run a fur business in Sitong City? You are destroying your own reputation by saying this."
The shopkeeper was choked and his face turned red. He opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
"My elder brother brought us here, so he must know the details. Besides, it's winter now. How can we worry about not being able to sell a small amount of skin and flesh at a good price?"
When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately realized that he had underestimated the woman in front of him. After flipping through a few more photos, he stretched out his hand to gesture.
"It takes time to process the leather, and I can only add 300 coins to one piece..."
Ran Qingxuan looked at Bu Wei, and seeing that he nodded excitedly, he did not argue any more and just nodded.
"make a deal!"
Three hundred coins for one piece may not sound like a lot, but for fifty-eight pieces of skin, they can earn nearly eighteen taels of silver more, which is really great.
The shopkeeper paid the money happily. When Bu Wei saw that Ran Qingxuan had put the seventy-five taels of silver and four strings of copper coins into his cloth bag, he could hardly stop smiling.
There was still a cart of dried wolf meat on their cart that had not been sold, so Ran Qingxuan walked to the door, rolled his eyes, and went back.
The shopkeeper was picking out a wolfskin that was slightly smaller. When he saw Ran Qingxuan coming back, he became very alert.
"Girl, the money and goods are cleared, what are you doing..."
Ran Qingxuan handed him a bag of wolf meat jerky and said with a smile: "Boss, don't panic. I just forgot to thank you for the price reduction. I'll give you a bag of wolf meat jerky to try."
When the shopkeeper heard that it was dried wolf meat, his face immediately felt bitter. After all, everyone knew that wolf meat was not very delicious.
But this is someone else's kindness after all. How can a business owner refuse to show favor to his customers?
After taking it and thanking him, the shopkeeper casually placed it on the counter and sent him out with a smile.
At first, Gu Yanchen wondered why Ran Qingxuan gave it away for nothing, but in less than a cup of tea, he knew why.
It turned out that the shopkeeper could always smell a fragrance after returning, and that smell constantly stimulated his taste buds, forcing him to secrete saliva.
Later, he looked at the bag of wolf meat jerky that Ran Qingxuan gave him, and driven by curiosity, he opened the oil paper bag.
The wolf meat jerky has been marinated with seasonings and the perfect stir-frying keeps the aroma firmly locked inside. As soon as you open it, the spicy and fragrant smell rushes into your nose.
The shopkeeper usually likes to drink a little wine, but after just one sip, he felt that the wine would have no taste without wolf meat...
Thinking of this, he hurriedly chased after him. Standing at the door and looking left and right, he immediately saw Ran Qingxuan who had not gone far.
"Girl, girl, wait a minute."
Ran Qingxuan, who was just about to stop and find a place to sell the wolf meat jerky, curled his lips slightly and turned to look at the owner of the fur shop.
The business people around knew the owner of the fur shop and thought that he was looking for someone to settle the bill because something went wrong with the goods he received, so they all gathered around to join in the fun.
"Girl, how much do you sell this wolf meat for? I want to buy some."
Unexpectedly, before Ran Qingxuan could say anything, the person watching the fun on the side spoke first.
"Old butcher, you've made a lot of money running a fur trade, and you still need food. Why don't you use the money to eat something good? Why buy that smelly wolf meat?"
"That's right, don't let your woman not do it for you, or you will be so greedy that you can't tell the difference between good and bad..."
“Hahahahaha…”
There was a burst of laughter all around, but the butcher boss of the fur shop didn't care and walked straight towards Ran Qingxuan.
The sound attracted the attention of passers-by, and they all looked towards them.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Ran Qingxuan spread out a few new pieces of oil paper, tore open two packages of wolf meat jerky and poured them on top.
“You can tell if it’s delicious by trying it...”
The fresh, fragrant and spicy smell spread in the wind, and the men who were sneering just now were stunned for a moment.
"Is this jerky wolf meat? Why does it smell so good?"
