Chapter 56 The rain lessened, but the sky grew darker (1/2)



Seeing her sister's shocked look, she quickly lowered her voice and said:

"Sister, I'm sorry, I just took it out when I went out, so you didn't see it."

I don't know what's wrong with me, my mind just couldn't process it for a moment.

However, Qin Mu had some doubts just now, so I told him that it was something my mother got from somewhere and left to me as part of my dowry.

There aren't many of them, and my older brother knows that too.

So, you should go back and tell your older brother not to let Qin Mu mention it and let it slip.

Chi Qiao was speechless when she heard her attempt to make amends.

But considering that her mother-in-law had long since passed away, it was as if there was no way to verify the truth.

As long as your husband cooperates, there shouldn't be any problems.

"Okay, but you can't do that again next time, it's terrifying."

Chi Yu nodded repeatedly, then took out a slightly larger piece of cloth from the wooden box and went out.

The things Qin Mu sent this time, not to mention rice and flour, just the 500 catties of wine alone cost a lot.

"This wine comes in two varieties: Shaodaojiu and Lihuabai. A jar of Shaodaojiu costs four hundred coins, and a jar contains ten catties."

Pear Blossom White wine is a bit more expensive, costing 600 coins per jar, which is also 10 jin per jar.

These are the purchase prices, half for each type of wine. The total is currently twenty-five taels of silver.

Upon hearing this, Chi Yu's lips twitched involuntarily.

Why is this wine so expensive?

But when I think about how my older brother and his friends drink, they only pour a little bit each time and then savor it carefully, and it seems like that's how it should be.

That's equivalent to the cheapest price of forty coins per pound.

If it's sold retail, it would cost fifty coins.

Then, people buying the wine should also buy it in small quantities, such as one or two ounces.

That's equivalent to five or ten coins at a time, which seems reasonable.

While the two were checking the supplies and writing down the bottom price, the voices of Chi Ye and Chen Kai came from outside the door.

"Brother Mu!"

Upon hearing the sound, Qin Mu put down his pen, gestured to Chi Yu, and then went outside.

As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Shen Kai already dressed and saying:

"Brother Mu, we're all packed and ready to go. We just came to let you know."

Ikeno also said, "Maki, don't worry, I'll go with you this time."

Qin Mu said, "Okay, be careful on your journey and pay attention to safety."

I'll have to go down the mountain in a couple of days, but I'll take a shortcut then.

See you in the county town then!

Upon hearing this, Ikeno paused, then said, "Maki, you're going down the mountain? Why not do it now..."

“Your aunt is busy here, I’m checking prices with her now.”

Otherwise, I'll leave now. How will she keep her little shop running?

Also, your aunt is a great cook; I thought the boiled pork she made for lunch was delicious.

I'd like to help sell this recipe to restaurants.

I must negotiate this price myself.

Upon hearing this, Chi Ye quickly said, "How about we wait a bit? Brother Mu, you can just write down the bottom price for the items, and then have Auntie write down the recipe for you?"

That way, we can go together.

Brother Mu is skilled; with him around, they'll be safer.

Qin Mu knew what Chi Ye was thinking at a glance and immediately shook his head:

"Your aunt thinks it's not appropriate to sell just one recipe book, and wants to sell some more."

Because I haven't finished making it, I'm not sure how to handle it, so it will be delayed.

Don't worry, Ah Ye, the men of the Chi family are all quite skilled.

With Ah Kai and Guo Da among them, whose martial arts skills are also quite high, the journey will be safe.

However, there are some things to be careful about when returning.

Oh, right, I need to decide where I'll stay tonight. I need to be careful about slipping on things like horse hooves, cow hooves, and car wheels.
