On the way to escape famine, my parents divorced

There were only a few snowflakes before, but now they have become bigger, and it looks like they will get bigger.

Xing Guangzong got off the mule cart as he looked at the sky which was getting dark. He came to Andong from Dongmu.

The Xing family was mainly engaged in the business of collecting raw silk in Jiangnan. Because his fathers had accidents while doing business in their early years, the brothers on his father's branch separated from the family early on. He was the second oldest in the family and didn't get anything.

But he has been following his father Xing to do business since he was a child, and he doesn't know how to do anything else.

In order to make a living, he did not follow the example of his elder brother Xing and continue to do the silk collecting business in the local area. Instead, he left Jiangnan and went to Kyoto.

Although Jiangnan is prosperous, Kyoto is the most prosperous place in the entire Dalong Dynasty.

He was a good man, and was willing to share profits with the workers, so he formed a small caravan of about 20 people.

Due to the natural disasters and man-made disasters in the past few years, he dared not leave the house and just stayed at home to live off his savings.

Since the beginning of this year, when he heard on the street that Anton was trading with the barbarians, he had an idea in his mind.

Later, he simply took a boat to Dongmu to inquire about the trade. He learned that as long as the goods sold were within the scope specified by Andong and exceeded a certain quantity, he could sign up and buy a boat ticket to Andong at half price.

Moreover, the Black Armor Army will escort them in Fu ships and will never let the Japanese pirates take them away!
So, he took out all his family fortune, called up his old friends, and planned to give it a try!
The silk and porcelain from Jiangnan must be valuable to the barbarians. When the time comes for trade, he can also exchange them for some furs, medicinal herbs and other things and bring them back to Jiangnan.

He should be able to make a lot of money by doing this!

When Xing Guangzong and his entourage arrived in Andong, they added a lot of paperwork and paid taxes before heading to the provincial capital from Sanshan Port.

He originally wanted to find an inn in the city to stay in, but later he decided against it because the prices for food and accommodation in the city were high. There were less than ten days left before the trade fair, and if he stayed in the city every day, the cost would be too high.

During the two days he was in the city, he heard people on the street say that there was a Liujiatun next to the market, and that food and accommodation in that village were much cheaper, so he became interested and wanted to go over and take a look.

But he was unfamiliar with the place, so he didn't dare to go there at first.

Later, Wan Sanbao, who lived in the same inn with him in the city, clapped his hands and decided to come here. He then came over and said that he wanted to go there together.

Wan Sanbao's group looked very tough and sturdy. Each of them was half a head taller than Xing Guangzong.

Since they lived in the same courtyard in the provincial capital, Xing Guangzong had some understanding of Wan Sanbao and his group.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Wan Sanbao and his companions are all big and strong, speak loudly, and are not very clean, but they are actually simple-minded and very easy to talk to.

Moreover, the goods they sold did not conflict at all. He sold silk, tea and porcelain, while Wan Sanbao and his friends sold wooden products, including large wooden beds, wooden cabinets, and wooden tables, as well as small wooden basins, wooden chairs, and even wooden combs.

As for Li Shiyue, looking at the two groups of people, she quickly went over to greet them with a smile.

After the greeting, Xing Guangzong and Wan Sanbao never expected that the person with the final say in Liujiatun was actually a teenage girl!

After being stunned for a moment, Xing Guangzong accepted it well. After all, in Jiangnan, it was not uncommon to see women who were the head of the household, and there were also women who walked the streets doing business.

Wan Sanbao was a little scratching his head. He slapped his forehead and shouted at Li Shiyue in a loud voice: "Where is your parents?

Ask your parents to come out, we are going to stay at the hotel."

Li Shiyue was not angry. She also knew that her face was really confusing.

Explanations were useless. Li Shiyue also saw that Wan Sanbao was such a person. No matter how much you said, it would be better to do something for him. Li Shiyue bowed to Wan Sanbao and said, "I'm sorry."

She walked straight towards Wan Sanbao and his team's convoy and grabbed the mule cart whose cargo was wrapped in tarpaulin.

Then, under the surprised gaze of the driver, Li Shiyue lifted up a corner of the cart with one hand, which required at least four strong men to lift.

This one move alone is enough to shock people.

At least Wan Sanbao rubbed his eyes and couldn't believe it, but he had to believe what he saw.

Li Shiyue showed his small white teeth and smiled at Wan Sanbao: "Mr. Wan, how is it?
I, Li Shiyue, am the leader of Liujiatun!

I am the one who is in charge!"

After putting down the cart, Li Shiyue said to Xing Guangzong and Wan Sanbao, "Master Xing, Master Wan, the snow is going to get heavier. Do you want to stay in a hotel?"

After getting a positive answer, the next two people to contact were Li Wangshui and Li Shiliang.

Li Shiyue is only the planner of the overall direction, and of course she is not the one who does the specific work.

If she were asked to work, she would be exhausted to death but still not be able to do it.

Xing Guangzong and Wan Sanbao were a group of rough men. As usual, the two groups chose the cheapest large bunk bed in the inn. Ten men could sleep on one kang, which was really a way to save money.

Li Wangshui introduced that there was a warehouse available for rent, and next to the warehouse there was a room with a small kang reserved for the caretaker. Wan Sanbao didn't think it was a big deal, after all, the goods he brought were just some heavy wooden items, which could be placed in the yard.

He planned to take those valuable items with him to his bedroom.

Xing Guangzong wanted to take a look at the warehouse. His goods were really not cheap, and he could let his own people check out the goods here, which was a good idea.

Li Wangshui took people to the warehouse to have a look. Seeing that Xing Guangzong was puzzled by the small house where the guard lived, he quickly explained: "It gets cold early here, much colder than in the city.

It gets even colder at night. If the kang is not heated, people will be too cold to sleep.

When you sleep on it later, you will know how good this kang is."

Although Xing Guangzong and Wan Sanbao did not have high requirements for accommodation, they were willing to spend money on food.

Zhao Min was assigned to the big kitchen of the inn. It was the first time she was entrusted with such an important task. She was very nervous and stood there holding a spatula, her chest beating fast.

Wang Shisan ran in from the lobby in front of the inn with two pieces of paper. He opened his mouth and read out the names of the dishes to Zhao Min: "Table one, five catties of two-pound flour pancakes, and two servings of cabbage stewed with meat."

In the lobby of the inn, Li Shiyue carried two pots of hot tea and walked towards the table that Wan Sanbao, Xing Guangzong and others had put together.

"You two masters are the first group of merchants we received in Liujiatun. These two pots of hot tea are free of charge. Two pots of meat soup will be sent up later to warm you up.

Meeting is fate. Tomorrow morning, if you two bosses are not in a hurry, you can take a look at our Liujiatun. We also have a lot of things to buy and sell.

Since you two are the first group of people to stay in our inn, if you two owners see anything you like tomorrow, I, Li Shiyue, will take charge and give you two a 20% discount!
I am still young, so I will use tea instead of wine, toast to you two!" (End of this chapter)
