Xu Jinhuan thought about purchasing a batch of cotton-padded clothes, so he accepted his younger brothers' kindness with a smile. After all, he couldn't use the space in front of others, right?
Then I'll have to trouble these two to be loaders.
"An Er, you are good at martial arts, so you can drive the car. If we encounter danger suddenly, you will be able to react." Ma Wencai said with a smile.
An Er nodded when he heard this, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Xu Jinhuan looked at Ma Wencai who walked into the carriage with a happy face and asked in confusion: "Why are you so happy?"
Ma Wencai whispered, "Boss, you don't know, ever since Xia Zhiying rode in your carriage, she has been showing off about it all the time, as if she was the only one who had this honor.
It makes us all want to ride in the boss's carriage and show off a bit."
Xu Jinhuan paused while drinking tea, his eyes filled with one sentence, "Are you all right?"
This group of people are over a hundred years old in total, how can they still be so childish?
Xu Jinhuan shook his head in amusement, "Now that you're already sitting in my carriage, you don't have to envy Zhiying anymore. Hurry up and sit down, and listen to my arrangements."
Ma Wencai's expression became more serious after hearing this. "Boss, I'm listening to you."
Xu Jinhuan thought for a moment and said, "After we enter the city, you and An Er go to different clothing stores and buy all the cotton-padded clothes that the stores have in stock. I will go shopping by myself first."
"Ah?" Ma Wencai looked at Xu Jinhuan in surprise, "Then boss, aren't you alone?"
Xu Jinhuan pointed at Ma Wencai, then at himself and asked, "Who do you think is more lethal between us?"
Ma Wencai laughed dryly, "Needless to say, it's you, Boss. You were just a small bandit at the beginning, let alone now."
Xu Jinhuan smiled and said, "So, you and An Er go shopping and wait for me to come find you. Take this money first, half for each of you."
After saying that, Xu Jinhuan handed Ma Wencai a purse.
Ma Wencai weighed the purse skillfully and found it light. He looked at Xu Jinhuan in confusion, as if he wanted to ask if the money for shopping was a little less.
"Open it and take a look." Xu Jinhuan said.
After Ma Wencai opened it, he saw several silver bills. He took out the silver bills and found that each one was worth one hundred taels.
"Don't be stingy with the money. Just spend it according to the money I gave you. The cotton-padded clothes you collect may be of great use." Xu Jinhuan said lightly.
Ma Wencai nodded seriously, "I understand, Boss. Since we are buying so many, I must get a discount or ask the store to give us a few more cotton-padded clothes."
Xu Jinhuan nodded approvingly. Although Ma Wencai was sometimes not very reliable, he had his own little tricks when it came to doing business, so she felt at ease leaving the purchasing matter to Ma Wencai.
"Boss, we're in the city. Where are we going now?" An Er asked respectfully outside the carriage.
Xu Jinhuan opened the carriage curtain, jumped off the carriage lightly, and said to An Er, "You and Ma Wencai go to the clothing store in the city, I will just stroll around first."
"ah?"
An Er looked at Xu Jinhuan's leaving back in a daze. He thought that he could take this opportunity to show his face in front of Xu Jinhuan and leave a deep impression on her.
In this way, when any benefits for loyal followers are distributed in the future, people will remember him.
But why doesn't Xu Jinhuan play by the rules?
"Don't look at it. Since the boss has made the arrangements, let's do as the boss says. If you want to show off in front of the boss and do what the boss arranges, it's the same."
Ma Wencai swept away the unsteadiness he showed in front of Xu Jinhuan, Xie Datou and others, glanced at An Er next to him, and said in a calm tone.
"Ah?" An Er looked at Ma Wencai, who had changed so much, with a confused look on his face again. In the past, he thought Ma Wencai was a fool, but now he felt that he was the fool.
Ma Wencai glanced at An Er speechlessly and arranged: "First, go find out which street has the most clothing stores, and then continue to drive the car."
"Okay." An Er found that he was still not suitable for using his brain. It was more suitable for him to complete the task by obeying orders.
Ma Wencai looked at An Er's busy back and raised his neck proudly. Tsk, he still wants to replace these old people? Wait until next life!
However, in order to complete the task assigned by the boss more smoothly, I still have to teach An Er some tricks.
Otherwise, if he is led by the owner of the clothing shop, wouldn’t it be the boss’s money that would be lost?
Therefore, after An Er came back, Ma Wen started the first speech training.
After the master and the disciple communicated for half an hour, Ma Wen finally let go of the dizzy An Er and asked him to drive the car towards the clothing shop.
At this time, Xu Jinhuan just found a teahouse and sat down.
"Waiter, how much is a pot of tea?" Xu Jinhuan asked curiously.
You know, the country had just experienced high temperatures and there was no water in many places. It really surprised Xu Jinhuan that there was still a teahouse open in this county town.
The waiter at the teahouse smiled brightly and said, "Sir, our shop has been the same for ten years. A pot of tea costs thirty cents."
Xu Jinhuan asked in confusion: "Didn't the price go up during the drought?"
The waiter smiled and said, "Sir, you are from another place, right? Because we have occasional droughts in summer, we are used to storing water, and every household has dug a very deep well.
So, even with this drought, we still have water to drink.”
At this time, someone called the waiter of the teahouse. After the waiter said something to Xu Jinhuan, he turned and left.
After a while, the waiter of the teahouse came with another pot of tea and placed it in front of Xu Jinhuan carefully.
"Sir, please have some tea."
Xu Jinhuan drank his tea slowly while listening to the idle chatter of people around him.
"What? Someone has started a rebellion again?" said a man who looked like a scholar.
Another scholar next to him sighed and said, "Brother Ding, please be careful with your words. They are just a few hundred farmers. How can it be considered a rebellion? At most, they have become bandits."
Brother Ding sighed helplessly and said, "Yuan Yong, now I understand what it means to be a good-for-nothing scholar.
My great emperor was incompetent, and this disaster befell me. I could only watch helplessly as the country fell apart step by step. "
Lu Yuanyong patted the other person's hand and said sternly, "Brother Ding, please be careful with your words. If someone with ulterior motives hears you, your career will be hopeless."
Brother Ding smiled grimly and said, "Nowadays, officials in the court protect each other, and those who are promoted are only the sons of aristocratic families. How can we talk about a career in the government?
Besides, the price of food has been rising since the disaster began. Now a bushel of rice costs one ounce of gold. If it continues like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to survive."
Lu Yuanyong also said helplessly: "If it weren't for Magistrate Shen's constant obstruction, the price of grain would have quadrupled again. What a pity..."
Brother Ding also sighed heavily, "Yeah, what a pity..."
