One day in the middle of winter, snowflakes fell silently.

Li Shiyue was not wearing very thick clothes. Before she went out, her mother told her to put on more clothes to avoid getting a headache or fever due to the wind.

Li Shiyue responded to Li's mother's words verbally, but in actual actions she still did as she pleased.

The main reason is that Li Shiyue has been practicing the internal skills that he exchanged for points for such a long time that he is no longer afraid of the cold in winter or the heat in summer. It is as if he has a mobile air conditioner on his body.

Ever since she discovered this, Li Shiyue started to spend half an hour every day before going to bed to browse the system's redemption mall. If she saw a good item with the right points, she would never let it go and would directly redeem it with the points.

In this way, the points she had accumulated before were almost gone.

This made Li Shiyue want to go to the capital city and enter the palace to find Liu Shu to do some tasks.

However, the trade fair was about to begin, and she was just thinking about it. How could she have the time to actually go to the provincial capital to find Liu Shu?

Moreover, given Li Shiyue's temper that cannot tolerate any injustice, she might want to slap Liu Shu in the face before they could even say a few words.

Liujiatun is at the foot of the Dahei Mountain, and it gets cold earlier than in Qingsong Town and Sanshan County.

This was not the first time that a few snowflakes had fallen. When Li Shiyue exhaled, he could see white smoke. The temperature was already below zero. It was really cold.

There were quite a few people standing behind Li Shiyue, almost more than half of the people in Liujiatun were here.

As for why they were standing at the road at the entrance of the village?
Because of the message sent by Liu Tan and Yan Jiuniang, the merchant caravans of all sizes preparing to participate in the trade had already crossed the sea to Sanshan Port a few days ago.

It should be almost today, the first caravan will arrive.

Li Shiyue and his companions were waiting here for the caravan to arrive. They had finally waited for the good days of making money right at their doorstep.

A few days ago, all the men in the village, young and old, went up the mountain to pick up dead branches, and saved up a lot of firewood for the two large inns on both sides of the road at the entrance of the village.

Li Shiyue has planned it all out. Their Liujiatun is the transit station on the trade road!

Not only does it provide accommodation and food, but it also serves as a market for trading. This trading is not just about the mountain products produced in their village, but also about food and daily necessities.

There is also paper produced in the paper mill. The charcoal kiln managed by Ma Zi has charcoal of various qualities to sell. The rabbit farm managed by Er Dan's mother now has more than 200 rabbits. The rabbit meat can be eaten and the rabbit skin can be sold.

They can also rent out these houses built at the entrance of the village and on the riverbank to the caravans;

There are shops, warehouses, and barns, everything you need!
More than half a year ago, the dogs raised by the people of Liujiatun had grown up. Li Shiyue was still thinking of waiting until the twelfth lunar month, when it snowed heavily and the temperature was low enough, to set up a dog sled cargo team.

Being a cargo carrier for caravans is also a business that can make some money.

After all, you’re just sitting around doing nothing in the winter, so who doesn’t want to earn some money?

Some time ago, Li Shiyue held a meeting in the ancestral hall for all the people in Liujiatun, and informed them of all the important and small matters regarding receiving the caravan.

He emphasized several points, "First, never be greedy for small gains and throw big money!
Apart from the items I mentioned which have uniform pricing, I don’t care how much you sell if you sell them yourself, but you must not shortchange others in weight, and you cannot pass off inferior goods as high-quality ones!
Our business is a family business. If anyone tries to take advantage of small profits and ruins the reputation of our village, I, Li Shiyue, will no longer be involved in your affairs!
I must remember this!"

After Li Shiyue said this, she looked towards her eighth great-uncle and the others. The women who were glared at by her lowered their heads guiltily.

Those women were used to taking advantage of others. In the past, they loved to pick a few vegetables from other people's fields in the village. They were Li Shiyue's main focus.

"Second, you can't force buying or selling! This business of ours is not just for this time. As long as there is no war in the future, we can continue to do business!

If you can't agree on a price, then just part ways amicably and don't force a sale!
The purpose of doing business is to make money. You don’t have to be servile to others, but you can’t be arrogant either!”

Some people didn't understand the meaning of these two words. Zhou Lanhua had learned very well in Jiang Huai's small class recently, so she quickly explained them for Li Shiyue.

"October's intention is to tell us not to look down on ourselves because we are country folk. They are not much more noble than us as merchants.

But we are doing business, we want to earn people's money, so it is only right to give people a smile.

October, is this what you mean?"

Li Shiyue gave Zhou Lanhua a thumbs up, and Zhou Lanhua was so happy that she almost lost her eyesight.

"The last point is that even if the deal fails, there is still righteousness!
You can't just give people the cold shoulder just because they didn't buy your stuff!
You can't be mean to others just because you don't earn their money;

Don’t argue with others, just talk things out nicely!

If you can't explain it clearly, just ask someone to go find Uncle Shui. You must not take advantage of the fact that we are in our village and have so many people and try to start a fight or something!

If anyone violates these three rules, it means that he or she does not take my, Li Shiyue’s words to heart!
If what I, Li Shiyue, said is useless in front of you, then you should carefully consider whether Liujiatun can still accommodate you! "

So, at this moment, the people behind Li Shiyue all had smiles on their faces, but the smiles looked a little fake.

The swirling wind blew the snow onto people's faces. Li Shiyue touched her cold nose and looked forward. She had already heard human voices.

Sure enough, after a while, Ma Zi came trotting over.

When they were not too far away, Ma Zi shouted to Li Shiyue and the others, "Two families, about fifty people in total, and more than twenty large animals!"

After receiving Ma Zi's letter, Li Wangshui looked at Li Shiyue. Seeing Li Shiyue nodded, Li Wangshui quickly gave instructions to the people behind him.

". Go and boil some water. Even if you don't take a bath, it will be enough for people and animals to drink.

You, hurry up and put down the hay in the barn. Didn’t you hear there are more than twenty big animals?

And you, tell the women in the kitchen to light the fire and wait. Even if they have brought dry food, they can't just sit there and eat something hot. It's always possible to order a pot of soup, right?

Thirteen, it's you, hurry up and go to the inn and tell Mr. Liu."

After a while, a large group of people driving cows, horses, and mules, pulling endless carts, turned from the official road at the entrance of the village.

Isn’t the one leading the way the Mole who was with Ma Zi before?

At this moment, Mole was seen sitting on the shaft of someone's cart, chatting and laughing with the driver.
