Chapter 500: Counting with fingers, today is a good day for spending!
On this day, Lu Qingqing saw that the amount of silk she had collected had reached a hundred pieces.
She called Qin Lang, and the two drove to Suxiufang in Yining County.
When Shopkeeper Cheng saw the two people coming, he greeted them warmly.
After seeing the quality and quantity of the silk, he nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing the guys from Xiuyun Spinning opposite approaching this place, he hurriedly lowered the curtain of the carriage.
He asked the waiter to drive the carriage to the backyard quickly and check the goods on the shelves in the backyard.
The three of them also came to the backyard, chatting while watching the waiter inspect the goods.
As Manager Cheng was chatting, he mentioned that the disaster in the north seemed to be very serious.
Recently, a few people who managed to escape came here and said that all the crops in the fields over there had died from drought, and even many people had died.
I heard that things are getting more and more chaotic over there!
Lu Qingqing couldn't help but sigh when she thought of Aunt Zhang and her husband, Hu Laosan and others who had settled in Yong'an County with the Sun family.
If there really is chaos, I just hope the Sun family can find a way to take them out!
All the racks in the backyard were used, and it only took half an hour to inspect all the 100 rolls of silk.
After listening to the clerk's report, Manager Cheng knew that there was no poor quality in the food, and he became even more satisfied with Lu Qingqing.
He originally estimated that it would take at least half a month for the first batch to be delivered.
Unexpectedly, within just a few days, 105 rolls of silk were delivered, and the quality was good.
After Manager Cheng was satisfied, he paid generously and gave an extra five taels of silver to make it a round number.
A total of thirteen silver ingots of fifty taels each were given, plus a small silver ingot of ten taels.
The quality of these silver ingots was very good. Lu Qingqing smiled and thanked Manager Cheng.
When the two of them said goodbye and left, Manager Cheng specifically told her that in the future when she came to deliver goods, she could just go directly to the back door.
Lu Qingqing readily agreed.
The two did not leave immediately, but went to Chenji Cloth Shop on another street.
These days, she also collected more than a dozen pieces of silk of lower quality, which was enough to meet the quantity agreed upon with Manager Wang.
As expected, these dozen pieces of silk were sold successfully.
After saying goodbye to Shopkeeper Wang, Lu Qingqing counted all the money she had received.
He found that he had made a profit of 181 taels and 5 coins of silver by reselling.
Looking at the heavy silver ingots in the box, Lu Qingqing was extremely excited.
Although these silver and money cannot be compared with the windfall gained while fleeing famine.
But this was the first money she and Qin Lang actually earned.
Moreover, as long as she continues to work hard, she will have a steady stream of money coming in.
After being happy, Lu Qingqing took out the ten-liang silver ingot and gave it to Qin Lang as pocket money.
The rest were directly stored in the space.
Qin Lang also put away the silver ingot very solemnly. He had heard about it from his senior brother.
The master would give his wife beautiful jewelry on her birthday.
I heard that the master's wife was very happy after receiving it.
Qin Lang thought about Daya smiling at him with her eyes curved after receiving it, and he felt relaxed all over.
It’s like the feeling of being unblocked all over the body after practicing a whole set of boxing.
No, it made him happier than that.
He decided to save money and buy a gift for Daya.
Lu Qingqing didn't notice that he had a determined look on his face, as if he was going to join the party.
It was still early for the meeting, she calculated on her fingers.
Well, today is a good day to spend!
After pinching his fingers, he laughed out loud.
Qin Lang saw her laughing so hard that her teeth were showing, so he started laughing too.
Lu Qingqing didn't know what he was laughing at, so she took the reins and turned to head towards the street where people were eating, drinking and having fun.
There have been a lot of things going on these days, and the two haven't had a good meal for a long time.
I walked all the way and chose a restaurant with the most people.
When they ate the first dish, the two of them nodded continuously.
This tastes great!
Sure enough, you have to go to a restaurant with a lot of people to eat.
In addition to the freshness of the dishes, it also means that the taste is not bad.
While eating, the two ordered a few more dishes to take away.
The restaurant was not very big, and when the owner saw that the two had ordered a lot of food, he ran to the kitchen and told the chef to prepare it quickly.
In the end, the two of them left the house with bulging bellies and carrying a bunch of dishes.
After leaving the restaurant, Lu Qingqing drove straight to the store opened by the government.
The store was designed and run by King Huai himself.
The store opened in Yining County was called Yining Store, and it was located on a street not far from the county government office.
This name was mentioned by Xu Wenshan when he came here that day.
I heard that it was named by King Huai himself, and all kinds of novel items are sold there.
Of course, the price is naturally not cheap.
After listening to this, Lu Qingqing had already determined that King Huai was a fellow villager.
She had a lot of money at the moment and had been curious for a long time, wanting to see what good things this fellow villager had come up with.
When Lu Qingqing stood in the Yining County store, she looked at the transparent glass cabinets in the store and then at the items displayed inside.
There are exquisite, gorgeous and retro Western clocks, exquisitely crafted telescopes, wooden mirrors that look like handicrafts, and clay sculptures made of cement next to them.
Even though he had seen too many of these things in his previous life, he still couldn't help but open his mouth wide.
There is no way, the outside of the store still has an ancient style, but there are so many modern items inside.
This sense of separation is really impressive.
Before Lu Qingqing could think about it, a young woman in special clothes came up to her.
She was used to seeing the surprised expressions of guests when they came in, but the expression of the little girl in front of her was quite reserved.
Lu Qingqing heard the familiar "Welcome" from the woman's mouth, but what came to her mind was that extremely magical welcome!
She shook her head and turned her attention back to the items in the transparent glass cabinet in front of her.
Now, she finally understood the painful look on Xu Wenshan's face when he talked about this store.
The gold-inlaid price tag on the front of the Western clock was marked with Arabic numerals.
The price made Lu Qingqing's heart tremble.
King Huai was really cruel. He wanted 6,666 taels of silver for a Western clock!
Not only this Western clock, but also that telescope is priced at two thousand taels of silver.
And the mirror that looked like a handicraft was priced at one thousand and two taels of silver.
Even though Lu Qingqing thought she had a wealthy family, she still felt her heart tremble when she saw these things.
She converted these price tags with modern prices and felt that King Huai was a huge profiteer!
Just a mirror like this would cost 600,000 to 800,000 RMB.
Wow, he’s even more ruthless than a robber when he robs money!
