"If you have any vegetables other than cabbage, radish, and pumpkin, you can also send them to your house. We at the Wu Mansion will definitely satisfy you."
Ling Weiyuan left. He never expected that he would make a net profit of thirty-five taels in just half a day.
He originally thought that the other party would bargain hard to get the price down to one catty and one ounce. But he didn't expect...
"Very good, very good. We'll continue tomorrow. However, you can't come to the Wu Mansion in the short term."
Why can't I come? Scarcity makes things valuable! If you're too eager, they'll think the mushrooms are worthless and regret paying a high price.
It is better to keep them hanging and willingly spend money to buy that fresh and tender bite. When they are scratching their heads, they will only feel that it is worth the money!
The Ling family came from a merchant family, so they understood the truth without much explanation. Ling Yi also learned a lot from them through subtle influence.
The three of them walked down the street with their hands in their pockets, looking calm, as if they didn't have a huge amount of money on them.
I went to a blacksmith shop and bought two sledges for ten taels of silver. I asked for two hemp ropes to tie them around my body and dragged them back.
This time, the Ling family made a lot of money and they all admired Chi Xingyue's intelligence.
The first and third wives and the Shu family discussed it and decided to take out a quarter of the money and give it to the second wife.
At the same time, they each took out one or two taels of silver as a reward for Ling Yi's hard work.
Ling Yi didn't care about the three taels of silver, but the master said that everything had to follow the rules.
If they don't accept it this time and next time, after a long time, they will dare to treat you like a servant.
The other brothers would not be able to hold their heads up in the Ling family.
So, I took it with a smile, bowed to say thank you, and went back to the house to rest.

Chi Xingyue fiddled around for another day, and near dusk he brought out some wood and a large piece of iron sheet. "Do you know any carpentry? Make a sled and see if it can hold up in the snow outside."
Ling Jiheng nodded: "I've seen fellow villagers do it before, I'll give it a try and see if I can succeed!"
Chi Xingyue was not in a hurry either. He helped from the side and gave some advice from time to time.
There is no night in this space. If it weren't for the ticking of the clock, one would have no idea what year it is.
Chi Xingyue also wrote down the number of days on a piece of paper, fearing that he would forget and make mistakes after a long time.
In this way, the two of them worked for a whole day and night, and finally finished the sled on October 20th.
Chi Xingyue took the time to take a look in the private room. It was all white outside, without even a tire track.
Occasionally a bird flies by, and it looks extremely lonely.
Chi Xingyue went to the fish pond and caught a crab as big as a turtle, as well as a dozen shrimps as long as his palm. He went to the kitchen and steamed one and stir-fried the other.
I also cooked a pot of rice, stir-fried two green leafy vegetables, and made a pot of corn and pork ribs soup.
When he returned to the conference room, Ling Jiheng was surprised by today's high-standard dinner.
He hurried over to help set the table and asked, "Are you leaving tomorrow?"
Chi Xingyue put the plate aside and said, "We can't stay here forever."
Ling Jiheng hadn't gone out for almost a week. He ate and slept every day. Although his living conditions were quite good, it was almost like being in prison.
All the talk about living a life of drunkenness and dreams, eating, drinking and having fun, is nothing compared to freedom.
I can't help but look forward to the outside world.
At night, the two of them slept in each other's arms, got up at four in the morning, washed their faces, brushed their teeth, and ate, then put on thick cotton jackets and took the sled out of the space.
It was still dark, and the two of them plopped into the snow without disturbing anyone.
The surroundings were quiet. Chi Xingyue got up from the ground and patted his knees, feeling a little pain.
The snow on the ground is not as soft as when it first fell, so it seems that we can travel on without any problem.
A black horse was released, but the little guy couldn't adapt to the temperature outside and kept jumping and hopping on the spot.
Chi Xingyue was holding the reins and was almost pulled down. It was Ling Jiheng who came over and restrained him, thus avoiding a tragedy.
After a while, Dahei adjusted to the outside temperature and stopped making noises. But he was still sulking and wanted to go back to the space.
Chi Xingyue tried to comfort him: "Be good, I'll give you something delicious when we get home. How about an apple, or do you want watermelon?"
Dahei snorted twice, and Chi Xingyue smiled: "Watermelon, okay, I'll pick two sweet ones for you when the time comes, and we can eat as much as we want!"
The big black ears moved, indicating that he was in a good mood.
Chi Xingyue patted its back and put the sled on Dahei. Then he and Ling Jiheng sat on it, and with a flick of the whip, Dahei started running.
Chi Xingyue held onto the railing with one hand and held Ling Jiheng's arm with the other. If she hadn't done some hand-stuffing beforehand, her hands would have been frozen.
"Ah!" Dahei was running very fast in the snow without slipping at all.
The sled with iron sheets slid faster than a horse-drawn carriage. Chi Xingyue shouted and laughed, feeling it was quite exciting.
Time passed slowly, and the sky gradually brightened. People began to appear on the road. Chi Xingyue didn't understand why they were out in the snow.
But they all had legs, and when they passed by Chi Xingyue, they cast envious glances at him.
Although Chi Xingyue didn't wave, she was quite proud of herself. After all, everyone has their own emotions. She was no exception.
Time passed little by little, the two passed by villages, bypassed towns, and approached Qingshan Village at an incredible speed.
The journey was supposed to take two days, but they arrived in Yunrou County in the early morning.
Chi Xingyue looked at the familiar building and asked Ling Jiheng, "Rest for a night, or go home directly?"
Ling Jiheng thought for a moment and said, "Let's go home. It's not far away!"
Chi Xingyue nodded: "Okay!"
The high-intensity flashlight is wrapped in a layer of gauze, illuminating the surrounding area without being too glaring.
Dahei groaned and continued on his way, thinking that if his master hadn't fed him the spiritual spring water, he would have been too tired to run.
Tap tap, tap tap, although the snow was soft and would muffle a lot of the sounds, Dahei's horse hooves still struck Chi Xingyue's heart.
Suddenly, Dahei neighed and stopped moving forward, causing Chi Xingyue to almost fall into the snow due to inertia.
When she looked up and was about to curse, she saw a group of small green light bulbs moving quickly in the distance.
"Oh my god, what is that? Is it a wolf?"
Although it was a question, Chi Xingyue was very sure.
On their way to exile, they encountered wolves more than once, and each time at night, so they knew each other's characteristics very well.
Ling Jiheng was worried because the wolves were moving towards Qingshan Village. Everyone was asleep at night, so without any precautions, it would be easy for the whole army to be wiped out.
They were still more than ten minutes away from their destination, and Dahei was so frightened that he couldn't move.
The wolves move very fast, and it is impossible to catch up with them even if you run.
Chi Xingyue hardened his heart, sent out a police car, turned on the siren, and the wailing sound filled the night sky.
The villagers of Qingshan Village, including the nearby Dahe Village and Shanghe Village, were all woken up.
Seeing the wolves pause for a moment, and then quickly run towards the village, Chi Xingyue hurriedly parked the police car and erased the traces of the tires.
