"Hahaha."
The lady boss laughed a few times and said, "You are really interesting. I am not afraid to tell you the truth. Other cotton merchants come from the north, and the cost of manpower and material resources spent on the road is relatively high. They give me 100 coins per catty. Even if you give me 90 coins per catty, you will still make more than them."
Song Yuehua said slowly, "Madam boss, you also know that cotton is not easy to grow in the south. It's not easy for them to transport it here, and it's not easy for me to grow it here. But you helped me before, so I naturally remember it. I can give you 90 yuan per kilogram, but next year I can only give you half of it. What do you think?"
The two were silent for a moment.
"How much do you want to plant next year?" asked the lady boss.
Song Yuehua smiled and said, "The more the better."
Well, the lady boss didn't want to play dumb, so she said directly, "100 wen per jin, I won't bargain with you. Plant more next year and let me know when the cotton is ready. How about that?"
"make a deal!"
After asking Song Yuehua for the address, the lady boss said, "I remember that the mountain there is very big. The more you invest, the more you can produce, right?"
Song Yuehua smiled and said, "You have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time."
"That's right." After the proprietress asked the waiter to weigh the goods, she gave two silver bills to Song Yuehua.
Song Yuehua glanced at the banknotes and said, "I only accept silver."
"ah?"
The lady boss said, "Why are you so troublesome? I don't have any cash."
"How could such a big cloth shop be without cash?" Song Yuehua smiled.
The proprietress reluctantly took back the banknotes, took out a few silver coins from the counter, and asked, "Are you satisfied?"
"Thank you!" Song Yuehua smiled brightly.
The lady boss was so amused by her that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "It's getting late now. You should go back quickly. Be careful not to be seen with so much cash."
150 taels of silver ingots is still a lot.
After thanking the proprietress, Song Yuehua got on the ox cart with the silver in her arms, and took advantage of the fact that there were not many people on the road at the moment to rush home.
On the way back, Duan Yidao couldn't help but ask, "Wouldn't it be more convenient to use silver notes? Why do you have to change it to silver?"
Song Yuehua straightened her back and paid attention to her surroundings, but still replied, "Be steady."
Duan Yidao turned his head and glanced at Song Yuehua with an indescribable expression. He thought, you don't look at ease when you look like this.
The total amount of silver in the house now is 482 taels.
Song Yuehua lay on the bed, thinking to herself that if she grew cotton well, she would really make money. When the pigs were sold, she would exchange them for some gold bars and keep them at home to save.
The more she thought about this kind of thing, the happier she became. For a moment, she couldn't help but let out a weird laugh, and Song Yuehua quickly covered her head with the quilt.
"Sister?" Xiaoyu asked worriedly
Xiaoyu also crawled over and asked, "Sister Song, are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay."
Song Yuehua poked her head out, coughed twice and pretended to be calm, "Want to have a pig-killing feast?"
"think!"
The two said in unison.
"Okay, we'll kill the pig tomorrow."
