After selecting the goods: "Brother, how much silver are these worth in total?" Lin Feng asked.
The shopkeeper turned the abacus on the counter and said to Lin Feng, "This thousand catties of cotton is worth sixty taels of silver, the one hundred pieces of cloth is worth eighteen taels of silver, and the tea is worth four taels of silver, for a total of eighty-two taels of silver!"
A few days ago, Lin Feng gave all the three hundred taels of silver notes he earned from selling medicinal herbs to Li Yan.
At this time, Li Yan took out a hundred-liang silver note from Yongchang Bank and handed it to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper took the banknote from Li Yan's hand and handed it to the accountant beside him. The accountant took the banknote handed over by his shopkeeper, checked it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he got up and went to the accounting office and gave Li Yan 18 taels of silver.
After settling the payment for the goods, Lin Feng led Li Yan and her group out of the shop.
The shopkeeper escorted the man to the door and patted Lin Feng on the shoulder: "If you need anything to buy in the future, come to me. I wish you a safe journey!"
Lin Feng: "Thank you!"
The mule cart that was empty in the morning was now packed full.
Monkey: "Brother Feng, two mule carts are really not enough. I think we need to buy another mule cart. If Miss Li gets tired on the road, she can take a ride and rest!"
Lin Feng nodded. He was also thinking about this matter. If he continued to do this business in the future, only two mules would be far from enough!
The group returned to the inn with the goods.
Seeing the group coming back, Shopkeeper Chen hurried forward and asked, "Brother, have you finished shopping?"
Lin Feng: "Almost done, we still need to prepare some food for the journey"
Shopkeeper Chen waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this, my dear brother. I've prepared food for you on your way back!"
"That's such trouble!"
Shopkeeper Chen: "What's the trouble? I know the prices of firewood, rice, oil and salt in this city better than you do!"
Lin Feng no longer refused and kept in mind Brother Chen's help.
After everyone packed up the goods, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Li Yan found Lin Feng and said, "Uncle, Shopkeeper Chen has been very caring towards us. He just wanted to help us prepare food. Remember to give him this money!"
Li Yan took out five taels of silver and handed it to Lin Feng.
Li Yan's idea coincided with his own, and Lin Feng readily took the money.
When the number of diners in the lobby gradually decreased, Lin Feng found the shopkeeper Chen and stuffed five taels of silver into his hand.
Shopkeeper Chen frowned: "What does this mean?"
Lin Feng: "Don't worry, brother. I'm staying here, I can't eat and drink for free! If you don't accept it, I won't be able to stay at your place next time!"
After hearing what Lin Feng said, Shopkeeper Chen was about to say something, but was interrupted by Lin Feng: "Brother, I need you to help me find a horse or mule. I want to buy another one. The return trip will be even more difficult, and I'm worried that Yan'er can't bear it!"
After hearing Lin Feng's request, Shopkeeper Chen immediately patted his chest and said, "The weather is getting colder, so it's normal for you to have this concern. Okay, I'm more familiar with this city than you, I'll go right away!" After that, he hurried out the door.
In the evening, Manager Chen returned to the inn leading a strong mule. Lin Feng, who got the news, hurried to the backyard.
Shopkeeper Chen said, "Brother, what do you think of this mule? This mule and the two I sold you were originally mine!"
Lin Feng looked at the sleek big blue mule and asked curiously, "Who did this mule end up with?"
Shopkeeper Chen scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Since you wanted it urgently, I asked my brother-in-law for it!"
