Chapter 304 was a fruitful harvest.
Chang Rongguang didn't know what his daughter meant by asking, but he answered without hesitation: "Yes, you are my daughter, so I naturally believe you!"
Chang Fang had no doubt about how much this cheap father doted on her, which made her even more determined to persuade him to leave.
"Dad, if you believe in your daughter, let's pack up and go back to my grandparents' house."
"Why...why are you going back so suddenly?"
"Tell me the truth, is it because your benefactor's disciple has violated the authority of the government, so..."
When Chang Rongguang heard that they were going to leave, he instinctively thought that Ran Qingxuan or Ran Qingxuan's "master" had done something wrong, and he was afraid that his daughter would be implicated.
"Oh, Dad, that's not the case. Sister Ran...didn't do anything wrong. It was her master who predicted that something important would happen in Cangzhou, so he reminded us to avoid it in advance!"
Chang Fang lowered her voice and continued.
"There are too many people in Sitong City, and my mother is at my grandparents' home in Cangzhou. It will take two months to go back and forth, and we don't know how serious the situation will be. Let's just stay at my grandparents' home to avoid the crowds."
Chang Fang knew very well that there were people in ancient times who believed in avoiding misfortune and seeking good fortune, and her parents happened to be one of them. After all, the resurrection of the original body was too magical.
To some extent, her parents believed that this was the blessing of the Buddha...
Chang Fang took advantage of this point and forced her father to think seriously even if he didn't believe it.
Sure enough, after thinking for a moment, Chang Rongguang stood there and murmured, "I was wondering how it was such a coincidence that he first found the old butcher to sell his goods, and then happened to find me, and he is also the disciple of my daughter's benefactor..."
Chang Fang pursed her lips, afraid that laughing out loud would reduce the credibility of her words.
Afterwards, Chang Rongguang slammed the silk placed beside him and made an important decision.
Chang Fang was frightened by this scene and thought her father did not agree.
But I didn't expect...
"Anyway, our embroidery workshop doesn't have much business in the winter, so we're all stockpiling goods in preparation for spring and summer. Your mother has been gone for only half a month, so if we hurry we should be able to get to your grandparents' house before she comes back!"
Chang Fang suddenly felt that her life was worth it. Her father did not refute her because of these unrealistic words, but was very supportive.
"Dad, thank you for believing in me!"
"What are you saying? You are my only daughter. If I don't believe you, who else can I believe?"
As he was speaking, Chang Fang slapped his head as he thought of something.
"I have to go and tell Uncle Tu. If it doesn't work, let Uncle Tu go back to the village with us to take shelter."
"It's better for Dad to take care of this matter. You go home and pack up. I'll be back soon."
On the other side...
Ran Qingxuan tried his best to calm down and followed Bu Wei away. Gu Yanchen knew that this acquaintance who suddenly appeared was not who he seemed, so he tactfully did not ask any more questions.
Bu Wei had a smile on his face all the way, and even after returning to the inn he was still smiling.
"Boss, what happy things happened to you today? You are smiling so much..."
"Go, go, go, who wouldn't smile when something good happens..."
Qian Zheng came towards him, holding a plate of steamed buns and two side dishes in his hands.
"You guys just happened to come back, and Chang's steamed buns have just come out of the pot, and we were just about to eat them!"
All the money from selling the dried wolf meat was kept by Ran Qingxuan. Bu Wei was not worried that she would embezzle it, so he told her to talk about it after dinner.
Ran Qingxuan didn't act pretentiously. He nodded and returned to the place where he was resting temporarily.
There was only a small charcoal basin in the room, which Old Madam Gu had asked the waiter for for one or two taels of silver out of pity for her eldest son and daughters-in-law who were suffering from the cold.
"Sixth brother and his wife are back, come and have dinner!"
The two stayed outside for an hour and enjoyed the breeze for an hour. Even though it was just a simple meal, they both enjoyed it very much.
"Oh, it's so cold today, it's really hard for you two little ones." Old Madam Gu said as she put another steamed bun in the pan for Ran Qingxuan, fearing that she would not be full.
"That's enough, mother, let your husband eat!"
"Sixth brother's wife, my sister-in-law and I made a lot, try to eat as much as possible."
Ran Qingxuan herself didn’t have a big appetite, but since traveling in winter required physical strength, she didn’t act pretentiously and forced herself to eat two steamed buns before putting down her chopsticks.
Ran Qingxuan did not dare to delay such a good thing as dividing the money. After calling the people from the Xiao and Chen families to the Gu family's common bed, Bu Wei was also called over by Gu Yanchen.
Normally, it would be a pipe dream to ask him to come and find this group of prisoners, but this time it was different. When Bu Wei brought Qian Zheng in, his face was even full of smiles.
"Please take a seat, Mr. Bu." Old Madam Gu stood up and gave the main seat to Bu Wei. Several female relatives tactfully sat at the innermost part of the bunk bed to avoid suspicion.
Gu Yanchen found a table, and Ran Qingxuan took off the cloth bag that he had been wearing, unbuttoned his clothes, and sat on the table.
The sound of "ding-ling-clang" was heard continuously. The female family members who were chatting turned their heads to look at the table and saw a scene that made them unforgettable.
Small pieces of silver of similar size were rolling on the table, and Gu Yanchen would gather them up from time to time, fearing that one would fall off.
"So much silver..."
While the other two families were surprised, they immediately realized why Ran Qingxuan called them over.
I thought that selling the wolf meat and sharing the money with them was just a joke, but I didn't expect Ran Qingxuan to be serious about it.
Bu Wei looked at the silver coins amounting to about three or four hundred taels on the table and almost laughed out loud while trying to suppress his excitement.
If it weren't for Ran Qingxuan's method, they would probably just take the money from selling wolf skins and think they had made a profit.
The female members of the family no longer cared to avoid suspicion and gathered around Old Madam Gu, exclaiming in amazement.
"Sixth brother's wife, could this be the proceeds from selling wolf meat?"
“Is wolf meat so valuable?”
Ran Qingxuan cleared his throat and said to everyone with a smile: "In order to attract people to buy, I took the initiative to offer buy two get one free. More than 200 of the more than 700 packs of wolf meat have been given away.
But the good thing is that the remaining packs have been sold for one tael of silver, so the money earned is 416 taels, plus the 74 taels I got from buying wolf skins, the total is 491 taels..."
"Hiss...how much, did I hear it right?"
"Sixth brother's wife, you must be kidding. It's just a piece of wolf meat, how can it be sold for more than 400 taels of silver?"
Not only were they surprised to hear the number, even Xiao, Chen and others who were present and used to receive salaries were so shocked that their mouths opened wide.
Scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans all know that businessmen are ranked last. The high-ranking officials and nobles think that those who do business are stained with the smell of money, which inevitably makes people feel vulgar.
But it doesn’t matter whether it’s tacky or not at this moment. For exiles like them, being alive is lucky, and being able to make money on the road is a blessing in disguise.
It would be fine if Ran Qingxuan didn't take action, but once he did, he made a big splash.
More than four hundred taels of silver were earned in just one or two hours. Who wouldn't be envious?
No one spoke, waiting for Ran Qingxuan's next assignment.
