They wanted to sell the goods to buy grain, but nobody wanted them.
They said these were all smashed up and fed to chickens and ducks.
Seeing the child's pitiful state and knowing how delicious the food would be once prepared, Amu bought it.
I'd like to ask if you want it. If you do, I'll sell it to you for six coins per pound.
When Amu bought it before, he took pity on the child and only charged five coins per pound.
I gave you six coins, to make a profit on that one coin for delivery.
Qiao was not a petty person; she and Chi Yu were still business partners.
Thanks to their connections, the restaurants here are doing very well.
Therefore, in terms of money, they would certainly not lose out to the other party.
"Since it was bought for five coins, and you said you spent so much money to buy fruit and exchange it for grain, Xiaoyu, you're still asking for more."
I'll buy these river snails for eight coins per pound.
The extra two coins are my contribution to helping you.
"How many do you have here? I'll take them all."
Chi Yu nodded: "Okay, there are quite a lot of them, you'll need to find someone to transport them."
This stuff is perfect with alcohol. Once you bring it back, if you have clean ones, you can start making it and selling it this evening.
Also, I still have a lot of mint, which was also brought back by Amu.
We have a business relationship. When you come over, just weigh these mints yourself and take them with you.
The money will be settled together later.
"By the way, Sister Qiao, when are you planning to go back to Anping County?"
"There's no rush right now. I'm thinking about whether I should come with you guys later."
But that's not necessarily true; we'll see. Who knows, I might be leaving in a few days.
At this point, she realized her mistake and immediately corrected herself, saying, "I almost forgot about the soap."
Little fish, I'll leave at twelve.
I'll be going to Chijia'ao first. Is there anything you need me to bring back?
She plans to take some soap back with her when she goes back this time to sell.
Next, check if there's any soap. If so, send it to Jinling first, and have her parents arrange for it to be transported to the capital.
She herself stopped going out. After all, the drought was getting worse, and things weren't peaceful outside either.
She should stay in Anping County. If there is a need to go to the prefectural city, she can just send someone over.
Chi Yu shook her head: "Not for now! But Sister Qiao, I might not be free on the 12th, so I'm afraid I won't be able to come and see you off."
Although Qiao didn't know what Chi Yu was busy with, upon hearing this, she subconsciously replied:
"It's alright, you just go about your business!"
But shall we leave now or not? If we leave now, I'll send someone to catch the carriage.
These past few days have been inconvenient without a car, so Ms. Qiao gritted her teeth and spent some more money to buy one.
The carriage is now parked in the stable behind the restaurant.
“Let’s go now. Amu has to queue up to enter the examination hall tonight. If we arrange these things in advance, I can also prepare the things he needs to take into the examination hall.”
After saying this, Chi Yu got up and walked out, with Qiao Shi following closely behind.
As soon as the two went out, they saw that the door to one of the private rooms had just opened.
A girl of about twelve or thirteen years old, dressed as a maid, walked out from there.
Upon seeing the Qiao family member, he remembered that she was the owner of the restaurant and quickly said:
“Master Qiao, you’re here just in time. My wife asked if you have any of the fruit that was served earlier.”
If so, we'd like to buy it; money is no object!
Qiao looked at Chi Yu with a smile, and then said, "No, I had someone bring it up. It was a gift from someone else."
If your lady or young lady wants it, you might as well wait for the prefect's wife to send an invitation, and then they will sell it there.
However, I heard that it wasn't bought with silver, but exchanged for grain.
