Kang Yueran asked, "Is anyone injured?"
"Thanks to the snake repellent sachet the girl gave us, the snake didn't attack anyone, but the guys were all scared. While trying to catch the snake, one person was bitten, but the snake wasn't venomous!"
"All the guys will get triple their monthly salary this month. Have someone check twice more and clean up the snakes. Deliver the goods tomorrow. I will go to Heilongshan to settle the account with Hua Rongyue!" She was also very angry.
She stood on deck and was relieved when she heard that the snakes had been cleared from both ships.
It was almost dawn. After all this trouble, everyone was tired and sleepy, but no one dared to sleep anymore.
Kang Yueran asked Ma Shun to arrange the six people into a group, with four sleeping and two on duty.
After Ma Shun made the arrangements, he went to Ningzhou City to find a carriage company under the protection of Hu Xiaocheng and two boatmen.
Duke Lu did not order the carriage company not to accept Kang Yueran's orders, but Kang Yueran still made it clear, "Manager Xing, to be honest, I have offended Duke Lu, so Ningzhou Governor Du Jian did not allow my ship to dock at Houjia Wharf.
If you don't want to take my delivery, I don't blame you; but if you do take it, you must deliver it on time."
Manager Xing chuckled and said, "Our carriage business has been in business for over twenty years and has always had a good reputation. Manager Ma and I are old acquaintances, and he knows me.
Lord Du did not allow the Kang family's ship to dock, but we did not receive any orders from Lord Du, so ignorance is not a crime."
This was a way to create a time difference. "Okay, since you guys at the trucking company are taking on the risk of shipping my goods, I'm willing to add 20% to the normal price to get them to speed up."
If the customer is willing to pay more, Shopkeeper Xing will definitely not refuse. "Okay, Mr. Kang, don't worry, there will be absolutely no problems with this batch of goods."
Ma Shun said to Kang Yueran, "The Xing Family Carriage Company is the largest in Ningzhou, and it's a well-deserved reputation."
Every business has its own ways and tricks, so Kang Yueran didn't ask any more questions. "Xiaocheng, you and Luo Shan will go with me to deliver the herbs and cloth to the destination and collect the payment.
As for Mr. Zuo's timber, have the cart company bring it back from the timber shop. Use the money from the medicinal herbs and cloth to settle the bill, and then ship the remaining money back."
The shopkeepers of the Wang, Meng, and Zuo families all came along. Firstly, they were knowledgeable and not easily cheated. Secondly, it was not convenient for outsiders to know the purchase and selling prices of each family.
The matter was settled, and Kang Yueran paid the freight to the truck company.
