Chapter 71: Small Business, Big Business

The next morning, the green bricks were still sticking to the dew, and the buildings in the distance were shrouded in mist.

Wearing a set of bright floral dresses, beautiful embroidered shoes under her feet, and a pigtail on her head, her body looked fragrant, and she strode out of the inn.

She stopped at the doorway, narrowed her bun face, and looked first to the left, then to the right, her brow furrowing slightly.

She loved the old city, with its clean brick streets, all kinds of shops, and all kinds of strange things. It's just that it's easy to get lost here, and so many places feel similar.

"Right!" Lin Haoran walked out of it and reminded her.

The time for the college exam is in early July, and now there is not much time left before the exam, so he will take care of this matter and immediately set off for Gaozhou Mansion to take the exam.

In this era, fame is undoubtedly the foundation of life. Especially after having irreconcilable contradictions with Jiang Village, this requires him to gain fame even more, and then he can have enough strength to protect the people of Changlin Village.

The tiger girl strode to the right with her little short legs, and at the same time raised her big pie face suspiciously and asked, "Brother, where are we going now?" Is it to that Shen Liuye? ”

"It's not! I'm afraid his shop hasn't opened yet, so let's finish breakfast before we go over! Lin Haoran reached out and took her little hand, and explained to her as she walked.

"Okay!" When the tiger girl heard that she was going to have breakfast, she immediately jumped up and down in response. She had heard too many electric snacks in the village before, but now that she was here, she could finally get what she wanted.

There are many types of snacks in Dianbai, and there are many breakfast stalls in the vicinity of the City God Temple, and those stalls are steaming with white mist.

Lin Haoran chose an old couple's stall and asked for a bowl of porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork, Hu Niu asked for a shrimp rice noodles, and Ali asked for a bowl of wonton, and they ate it deliciously.

"Brother, I'm also delicious with this, you eat a piece!" After the tiger girl opened her mouth and ate a bite of the preserved egg and lean porridge sent by Lin Haoran, she also picked up a piece of shrimp rice noodles and sent it to Lin Haoran's mouth.

The relationship between the two brothers and sisters is increasing day by day, and they will always share good things with each other, which is really envious of others.

Lin Haoran opened his mouth to eat this piece of shrimp rice noodles, and found that it was really delicious, so he asked the boss to have another one.

"It's even better with this sauce!"

The old man brought over a sauce dish and said with a smile.

"Thank you!"

The tiger girl thanked her crisply, then picked up a piece of thin-skinned and brightly colored shrimp rice noodles and stuck the sauce, opened her mouth and stuffed it into her mouth to chew, and found that it was really more delicious, and found that it was right to follow it this time.

Ali's response to shrimp rice noodles was mediocre, but she was a little interested in the zongzi, and asked for one in stiff Chinese. After this period of study, she has been able to communicate with people simply.

After breakfast, Lin Haoran led the tiger girl to Shen Liuye's shop. Shen Liuye's shop is close to the street of the East Gate, and the East Gate is outside the port, so this can be regarded as a golden treasure.

Tiger Niu was surprised by such a large store, and took Ali around the store, which was an eye-opener. I just saw the stones piled up on the ground over there, but I was too puzzled by this.

Shen Liujin came down from upstairs, and when he saw Lin Haoran again, he was hearty and smiled. stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, as if the two had been friends for more than ten years.

"Lin Dacaizi, thank you for giving me the cloth, well done!" He had a smile on his face, and his eyes were full of excitement, as if he was faking.

The bookkeeper next to him looked at it, but he knew that the shopkeeper's excitement was sincere. This earns more and earns less or secondly, mainly to complete the variety of the store, and to be able to stand tall and do business with foreigners.

"Where is Shopkeeper Shen, if you don't help me sell cloth, I don't know where to sell it? And it doesn't have to be affordable! Lin Haoran knew whether this should be praised or had to be praised, so he said politely.

These words really made Shen Liujin very happy, and immediately said with some boasting: "Your such a good cloth must be sold, but in terms of price, I am indeed very kind, so you still have to hand over the cloth to me in the future!" ”

"This must be! Then let's talk about it now, the next batch of 300 pieces of cloth, I will ship it to you, how about it? Lin Haoran just had this intention, so he followed his words.

Now the cooperation between the two sides is undoubtedly mutually beneficial, and Lin Haoran came in person this time to continue to finalize the business with him.

"Enough brother! Then let's talk about it now, and send as many as you want to me in the future! Shen Liujin slapped him heavily, then turned his head to the bookkeeper and said, "Settle Lin Dacai's account!" I'll have something to do later, so we'll see you again in the evening! ”

The latter sentence was said to Lin Haoran, and after saying hello, he hurried to the port.

Now Shen Liuye not only sells goods to foreign merchants, but also exchanges some goods from foreign merchants. In particular, he recently received news that Emperor Jiajing has a soft spot for ambergris and has ordered Guangdong and Fujian to purchase ambergris on a large scale.

Compared with his current petty business, the profits of spices are undoubtedly even more staggering, like ambergris is worth a hundred gold per tael (gold is four times that of silver), which is how many pieces of cloth can be sold.

It was precisely because of this that he hoped that he would be able to eat some ambergris from foreign merchants at a low price, and then sell it to the government at a high price, and maybe he could make a profit of tens of thousands of taels from it.

After Shen Liuye left in a hurry, Lin Haoran found Mr. Bookkeeper and quickly got the money for this batch of goods.

He has sent three batches of goods, a total of 1,000 pieces of cloth, each earning one dollar and five dollars, so in this transaction, Lin Haoran has a profit of one hundred and fifty taels, which is already a very good income.

At this time, there were no banknotes, and silver ingots were used for trading.

In fact, since the Song Dynasty, there have been banknotes, and Ming Taizu also launched the Ming treasure banknote. It's just a pity that after this kind of convenient money-collecting banknotes have been pit hundreds of people, the credit has been completely bankrupt in the Ming Chengzu period, and now it has become worthless.

Now the Ming Dynasty actually has no official currency, and silver is just a private currency that came into being. It's just that this silver is quite troublesome to use, because the silver is heavy, so it will be very inconvenient to carry.

After getting the silver, Lin Haoran called the tiger girl with the money bag and planned to leave. Hu Niu ran over excitedly and quietly pointed to him, it turned out that two Westerners had come into the store to buy something.

"Go back! Let's find a foreigner to make a fortune in a while! ”

Lin Haoran came here this time not only to talk about the cloth business, but actually had a bigger plan.
