Chapter 181. General Mao's shop

90,000 mink skins, at least more than 100,000 mink, after all, there are broken ones, as well as inferior skins with big arrow eyes, the mink goods that go to the south of the Yangtze River every year are actually only 40,000 or 50,000 pieces, as for ginseng and deer antlers, they are also cherished goods in the deep mountains and wild forests, and they are even rarer, and it is already the top of the sky to have 20,000 or 30,000 catties a year.

No wonder Luo Ning was amazed.

Even until I moved the goods, watched the unloading of boxes and boxes from the big ship, pried open these mink boxes with my own hands, took out the leather plates inside, and weighed the texture in my hands, that I finally dared to rest assured.

This is considered smuggling, directly bypassing the sea, fortunately, there is no concept of customs anti-smuggling at all these years, and some silver was sprinkled in Shanghangwei, and even those guards also rowed a small boat to help unload the goods.

The price of mink is different, Luo Ning is the middle and lower mink with arrow eye defects, the market price of the perfect high-grade mink with a trap set is still the original price, and it has to be more than 100 taels, 90,000 mink furs can be sold for 650,000 taels, ginseng is almost 400,000 taels, and deer antler velvet and other medicinal materials, after the price is pressed, it will also cost about 200,000 taels, this trip is enough to be more than a million taels, even if Luo Ning presses two-fifths of the price, it can earn 400,000 taels more than selling directly in Dongjiang, Mao Jue is writing the account book in the past two days, While scolding Qian Zeng's wife.

However, on the third day of unloading, Luo Ning came to the door again.

"What? Running out of money? Shopkeeper Luo, we said before the transaction, the cash will be delivered, you also said, your Luo family can eat!"

Zheng Duo, this old guy really has revenge, and the spittle star collapsed, and it almost flew to Luo Ning's little face. For so many days, Mao Jue also saw the embarrassed appearance of this little fox for the second time, a Lori's little face turned red, and she explained hurriedly with a feather fan.

"It's not that our Luo family can't eat these goods, it's just that the cash is insufficient, give me a few days, and the Luo family will definitely be able to pay the silver enough!" The Luo family has been in business for decades, and they have never broken their trust in business! As long as it takes a few days, even if Shanghu Manor is sold, it won't be bad for you Zheng Shopkeeper Yinta!"

"A few days? My general is a major general in the Northeast, and he doesn't have time for you to grind in Jiangnan as a merchant woman, these silver taels and tens of thousands of troops are waiting to be paid? The military period was delayed, and the soldiers made a fuss, are you responsible? ”

It's really unreasonable! I don't know what Zheng Duo has suffered from this woman, he didn't give Luo Ning any face, and she couldn't raise her head when she scolded her.

Although this girl cheated herself, but these days, after all, her public relations are in place, and Mao Jue, who is entertained everywhere, is very comfortable, seeing her embarrassed appearance, Mao Jue couldn't help but feel compassion, reached out and pressed the aggressive Zheng Duo, and hugged Luo Ning with a fist.

"Miss Luo, the Luo family has reached the point where they want to sell their property?"

"It's not! General Mao, believe me, as long as the hoarding in hand is disposed of, the Luo family will be able to raise enough silver taels ......"

"Hoarding? Silk it! ”

I don't know how much money I want to take Mao Jue, this old master Zheng really played the snarky Grande to the end, and the old guy twitched his head with disdain.

"There are only a few boats a year in the south, it's been several years, and Nagasaki was burned last year, whether it's silk or tea, Luo shopkeeper, how can you deal with it in a short time?"

"Silk? Tea? ”

Zheng Duo was full of disdain, but Mao Jue's eyes lit up when he heard it.

…………

It has simply degraded to the most primitive state of bartering, the mink of this end is moved down, and the silk at that end is packed into boxes and carried to the ship, this year, it is really called economic globalization, the hair Jue burned Nagasaki, this head actually immediately affected the market of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian, silk and tea These two commodities are accumulated in the hands of merchants, and only the Jin merchants are left to the grassland, and the Western Regions are poured a northern trade road.

It's really the current newspaper, Luo Ning, this little vixen pressed Mao Jue's price fifty percent, but silk does not need Mao Jue to press this aspect, the silk of last Chinese New Year's Eve has fallen to ten taels this year, tea five taels of silver and a large box, when moving goods, Mao Jue can even vaguely see Luo Ning's eyes with a little tears.

But even so, Zheng Duo was still not satisfied, and sat in the shop that Luo Ning took to top the account in Hangzhou, while directing the men under his command to decorate, while holding his fist at Mao Jue.

"Master General, you're still in a hurry! If the old man wants to squeeze her a few more words, the price can be three points cheaper. ”

"Okay, Elder Zheng, if you come to operate this year, how much will you lose this Jiangnan silk?"

This can be regarded as a sad thing about Zheng Duo, his hundreds of thousands of properties in Nagasaki were all confiscated by Mao Jue, and the hardware of the house and store turned into a fire, thinking about it, the corners of the old guy's mouth twitched twice, and then he hugged his fist helplessly.

"If I take the Nagasaki trade route, I can still make money this year, but Nagasaki is ruined, and if I want to operate in Jiangnan, I'm afraid I will have to lose five or six percent! After all, in the mulberry garden, the weavers have to raise themselves, but the silk can't be sold, so they can only make a loss! Everyone in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is raising silkworms and weaving cloth by themselves, along the way, general, you see, how many families sell fields and gardens? ”

"So this year Ben will be regarded as saving her Luo Ning's life, I replaced her unsalable products with best-selling products, when most of the Zhejiang businessmen lost money, she could still develop a little, and Ben will come again next year, and she can also sell the northern goods directly to her, which is slower than Ben will be sold to each household, saving I don't know how much manpower and material time, Mr. Zheng, you said right?"

Before Zheng Duo could speak, a pleasant voice came from the door.

"General Mao is so considerate, the little woman is grateful!"

Not to mention, women's love for beauty is really direct, this year received unprecedented northern goods, in less than two days, Luo Ning directly made a set of fur coats for herself, the fluffy white coat cloak wrapped her petite body firmly, but it does not affect the figure, there is no lack of feminine charm in the rich and powerful, and the eyes of those who see it are bright.

Fortunately, Suyi didn't come today, she was still at home preparing to go to Qiantang County with Mao Jue for two days, Mao Jue was stunned for two seconds, and then quickly piled up a smiling face.

"Shopkeeper Luo today, the fox fairy is down to earth, and his demeanor is shining!"

"General Mao is really good at talking, no wonder he brought the girl in plain clothes to death!"

Laughing and quipping, Luo Ning looked around again and right.

"Congratulations to General Mao on the opening of his new store, the concubine has brought some gifts, and by the way, let's see if General Mao needs the concubine's help!"

"Miss Luo is here to see what other valuable things my family will have, right?"

Zheng Duo is in his fifties and almost sixty this year, but he is really like an old child, he acts recklessly, and Luo Ning, the little vixen, has a holiday, and the eldest lady's face is red in a word, but this kind of person is also the most reassuring, Mao Jue didn't say anything about him, just smiled helplessly, and led the way in front.

"This thing is Chinese, the connotation of tobacco spices, refreshing, but also improve temperament, reduce pressure, very popular in our north, soldiers training, the end of the killing of the enemy to suck one, if sold in the south of the Yangtze River, I believe it can also help many scholars and scholars, write more through the ages!"

Although mink ginseng makes money, a mink, worn for ten or twenty years, can even be passed on to the next generation, ginseng is not a fast-moving consumer product, this one bought, given to that one, many are used as gifts, not too much stewed in a year.

And now the forest ginseng Mao Jue is still in the experimental stage, and the artificial mink is also groping, relying on the smuggling of the border market with Houjin, don't look at the fact that he now controls eighty or ninety percent of the supply of special products in Liaodong, but he has to look at Huang Taiji's face, which day the two fight, this goods will be broken.

But the smoke is different, the smokers he knew in later generations, one pack of cigarettes a day is too normal, even if it is a control point, a person has to have ten packs a month, and the price is cheap, even the poor can afford it, the market is still light, look at the supermarket stores that sell cigarettes everywhere in later generations, it can be seen, advertising Mao Jue has thought about it, those Jiangnan scholars who are responsible for playing handsome, with a fragrant eye in their mouths, and splendid poems in their mouths, don't worry about you not paying silver.

"I've also heard of this thing in the Liangguang area of Fujian, but they all take a big cigarette pouch pot, or General Mao's ingenuity, can it be made into such a convenient appearance, can the concubine try it?"

I really didn't expect that Luo Ning still had the potential of a little smoker, so he took out one easily, but subconsciously, Mao Jue snatched the cigarette back and stuffed it in.

"General?"

If Luo Ning took the lead in smoking, the sales of Mao's soft China in Jiangnan would not be worried, so the first to be shocked was not Luo Ning, but Zheng Duo. An embarrassed smile appeared on his face, and Mao Jue waved his hand with a dry smile at the woman's stunned eyes.

"This thing is not suitable for women, Ben will think that it is more appropriate to smoke it for men!"

"Luo Ning is also a strange person when he is a general, but he is also so rigid about men and women! The concubine is a weak woman, she doesn't drink the same wine, and she resists the family business! If a man can smoke it, Luo Ning will try it too!"

This explanation actually annoyed this girl, stubborn, she was going to get the cigarette case again, who knew that Mao Jue actually grabbed her little hand this time, and pushed her aside by pressing her shoulder with one hand.

"I don't allow you to smoke!"

A pair of eyes with unquestionable, staring at her eyes, since childhood, never had such close contact with a man, Luo Ning himself was even stunned, stunned for a few seconds, and then suddenly his face turned crimson, a small heart beat wildly, and his head was down.

Mao Jue herself was a little stunned, she was not an old woman's friend, what did she do? Why is he impulsive, according to the etiquette system, he can offend the innocence of other people's big girls! But when the words are spoken, they can't take it back, they retreat awkwardly, scratching their heads, Mao Jue made a gesture of invitation again, and led the way in front as if nothing happened.

"There are some things that should be considered rare, Miss Luo, please."

"General Mao, please!"

Fortunately, this girl is well-informed and adaptable, and she also diverts the topic and follows casually.

"Wow~"

In this era, anyone who sees such a huge crystal lamp will be amazed, in the three shops, what is stored in the middle is the huge crystal lamp brought by Mao Jue to Jiangnan Even if the oil lamp is not lit, looking at the lotus-like lampholder, Luo Ning is still gasping in distraction.

"Mao doesn't know how to learn, but he tinkered with something, here are all lampstands, light candles in it, the light is much stronger than paper lanterns, the only drawback, you need to wash often, and then inside, it is a glass cup and pan."

Compared with selling ginseng and mink skin, Mao Jue is more willing to sell industrial products such as glass products and tobacco.

Women and dragons are said to be relatives, and those little girls in later generations are, obviously useless, but when they encounter beautiful head cards, beautiful bottles and other ornaments, they will also buy a lot of them, and Luo Ning has not gotten rid of the nature of women here.

"What is this?"

walked along, on the edge of the wall, facing a white thing, this Jiangnan girl asked curiously, and Mao Jue smiled again.

"This thing......, uh......, this thing!"

Halfway through the words, he was stuck, Luo Ning asked what was wrong, asked him a toilet!

But this girl is really a businessman, a water with strong acceptance ability, Mao Jue finished explaining, this girl actually untied her clothes widely, and went to the toilet in the sample room at the back to try it, and after she came out, her eyes couldn't leave this white round rumbling thing.

"General Mao, this toilet must be the first one to be installed in our Luofu!"

Later generations of British people are like this, it is said that in the place where there is no flush toilet, will not go to the toilet, before the crossing, when he was a child, Mao Jue also hated to go to his grandmother's house, not to look down on the country life, but really used to sit at home with a toilet, and then to use the rural open-air dry toilet, shivering and squatting on two wooden boards, under is a large pile of rice fields, for fear of falling that feeling is extremely uncomfortable.

Especially in the summer, not to mention the taste, a lot of maggots arch around inside, and people who see it want to die, so it's better to solve it in the open air!

Don't look at the scenery of the Luo family's manor, but the Luo Ning family is also the kind of dry toilet, at most they have a wooden toilet in the master's house, and they have to pour it out after using it, it is really not as convenient as this flush toilet, looking at the puffing appearance of this girl, Mao Jue quickly nodded his head.

"It's easy to say!"

There are also tiles, cement, and some messy little things here, but they are all used by Mao Jue in later generations, and Luo Ning, who saw it, was also amazed.

This is good, the store has not opened today, and two major businesses have been done first, Mao Jue's soft China, Luo Ning's stores all over Jiangsu and Zhejiang have helped him sell, and this one is free, and then he called his family, Luo Ning took ten toilets and two glass bathtubs in one go, and wanted to renovate the home.

What does it mean to have the opposite sex and no humanity, Mao Jue is, he threw Zheng Duo to take care of the shop in Hangzhou, and in the afternoon he skipped work and followed Luo Ning home.

It is worthy of being a big family, only an hour away from sunset, this girl can call ten masons, on the cement brought by Mao Jue, first a bathroom is covered with tiles, cut holes underneath, and the sewer pipe of the toilet is stretched out of the house, and the other end connects the pond water from the pool through the waterwheel to the upper water pipe, and the first automatic toilet in the whole Jiangnan was born.

Although in the backyard, the manure tank and the sewage tank still have to be dug for a while.

Looking at the pale yellow-green warm tiles on the wall, as well as the neat toilet and the white washbasin, Luo Ning's girl really seemed to have become a little girl, and she was dancing with joy and smile, Mao Jue was frightened when she saw it, and quickly grabbed her and told her that the cement would take at least three days of recuperation, so that it could be as strong as possible, otherwise he really doubted that this woman could soak it directly without her clothes.

In the past few days, Mao Jue has enough men, and he has also given a large part of this girl, and today is the merit of renovating the bathroom, and at dinner time, Luo Ning also asked the kitchen to make a few more dishes, and accompanied Mao Jue to drink a few more cups, a little blushing like an apple, and personally sent Mao Jue back to the guest room of the West Courtyard.

"Miss Luo, thank you for your hospitality, go back and rest early!"

On the window, Su Yi and Qin Niang were still packing up their things, preparing to leave tomorrow, at the gate of the courtyard, Mao Jue hugged his fists and walked in farewell, but he didn't take two steps, but this girl suddenly stopped him behind his back.

"General Mao!"

"Oh! Miss Luo, is there anything else? ”

I don't know if it's because of the drinking or what, Luo Ning's face seems to be a lot more ruddy than just now, and she paused for a second, and in Mao Jue's surprise, she seemed to shout out, and the cannonball spit out this sentence in a hurry.

"General Mao, you are such a different man!"

After shouting this sentence, Luo Ning ran away with his skirt and ran away. Seeing the white fox-like back, Mao Jue was confused, and scratched his head in astonishment.

"What does that mean?"
