"One thousand jin?" Xu Ning asked when he saw the vendor pointing a finger.
"That's right." He happened to have a thousand kilograms of goods in stock. If Xu Ning wanted them all, he could give him five cents.
Because he picked this batch of cotton early to seize the market, the cotton was actually grown by himself and was everywhere in the mountains, so there was no cost at all.
Besides, this is not the only way for him to make a living.
Xu Ning calculated that after removing the water content from his 1,000 kilograms, he would only have about 700 kilograms. There were eight people in his family, and each person's cotton-padded clothes and quilts would weigh 200 kilograms.
She planned to give away the rest.
Pei Jiao had already replied to her letter, which she received this morning. In the letter, Pei Jiao said that she had already taken her people south.
There are quite a few people in the small mountain village, and 500 kilograms of cotton may not be enough.
"One thousand kilograms is still not enough, but the price is acceptable. If you can bring another thousand kilograms, the price can remain unchanged." Xu Ning pondered for a moment and told the vendor.
"You want another thousand kilograms?" The vendor didn't expect her to want so much. He immediately estimated the land of her aunts and uncles.
"Yes, the quality must be the same as this batch. If it's okay, I can sign the deed for you now."
"When will you want it, miss?" The peddler thought about it and realized that it would take at least three days for him to collect another thousand. If Xu Ning was not in a hurry, he could take it.
"Within seven days." According to Pei Jiao and the others' speed, they should arrive in less than half a month.
"Sure!" The peddler had a happy look on his face and was about to talk to Xu Ning about the contract when the women who hadn't left squeezed in with smiles on their faces.
"Boss, congratulations, but could you please give us a discount on these dozens of kilograms?" They didn't dare ask for five cents, after all, they only weighed about a hundred kilograms in total.
Xu Ning was not in a hurry, as this amount of cotton was not enough, so when the vendor looked at her, she nodded and made way.
The peddler, with gratitude on his face, immediately entertained the women and finally gave them six cents per pound.
"Second sister, can't our family also do this business?" Xu Feng secretly pulled Xu Ning. Xu Ning lowered her head, and Xu Feng asked her in a low voice.
"Yes, but do you know where I can get some cotton?"
Xu Feng shook his head.
"Then do you know how much cotton costs to buy and sell?"
Xu Feng thought about it and then shook his head.
"Miss, how do you write the contract?" Xu Ning wanted to say a few more words, but the peddler had already sent the women away swiftly and took out paper and pen and spread them flat on the wooden board of the ox cart.
"Xiaobao, come and take a look." Xu Ning walked to the ox cart, turned around and saw Xu Feng's lost face, and knew that he was thinking in the wrong way.
Xu Feng lowered his head and his eyes lit up when he heard Xu Ning's voice. He immediately ran to the ox cart and stood obediently.
"Boss, let's make two copies of this contract. Since this is our first collaboration, we need a witness."
"Of course, of course." The peddler knew a lot of people and was afraid that Xu Ning would be worried, so he specially found the owner of a shop selling grain.
After the deed was written, Xu Ning added a breach of contract clause, which required either party to pay ten times the amount in compensation if they breached the contract.
"Boss, is this okay?" The vendor naturally believed in himself. After all, he didn't plan to do business only once, so he signed the contract readily.
Xu Ning also signed. After both contracts were signed with his fingerprints, Xu Ning got his copy and paid a 10% deposit.
The peddler told Xu Ning that he could deliver 1,000 kilograms of goods to her home today, and Xu Ning also agreed to pay half of the purchase price after he delivered the goods.
Old Lady Xu had been watching from the sidelines without interrupting. Only after they had separated from the peddler's ox cart did she speak: "Xiaobao, what do you think of the conversation between your second sister and the peddler just now?"
