The whole family traveled through ancient times to start a new business
Chapter 13 Go to Fucheng
After dinner, everyone stayed in the main room to discuss going to the provincial capital.
Su An Dong said, "Mom, I quit my job at the school and the boss asked me to help teach for a while while he looks for a replacement teacher as soon as possible. I agreed. But thinking that it's hard to say how long it will take before I can quit my job completely, I asked for three days off. Since we have to go to the capital, we should go early and come back early! Let's go tomorrow!"
Old Mrs. Su: "Okay, you can go tomorrow! By the time you come back, the partitions in the house will be ready, so we can just change the house."
Su Anping: "Then mother, we have to set off before dawn tomorrow morning, the earlier the better, otherwise what if something happens on the road? We won't be able to reach the city before dark." There is a carriage and horse shop in the county, and we need to go to the carriage and horse shop to rent a carriage to go to the city tomorrow.
Su Anping tactfully mentioned the problem of the cart, but he didn't dare to say that he would go to his uncle Zhou's house to borrow a cart. The last time he went to borrow a cart was when Old Lady Su fainted. If it weren't for the fact that Old Lady Su fainted and couldn't make the decision, she would never let her son go to Zhou's house to borrow a cart.
The present old lady Su is not the same old lady Su as before. Restoring friendship with the head of the village's family is what she has to do, but now is not the right time.
Old Mrs. Su understood what her eldest son meant, thought for a moment and said, "You are right, it is better to go early than late. Go to Old Wang's house later to order a bullock cart! We will charter a car tomorrow morning and tell him to go to the county early." Old Wang's family is the one who transports people back and forth in the village.
Su Anping had just finished his meal: "Okay, Mom, I'll go now." Then he went out.
Su Yuanyuan seized the opportunity and said to Old Lady Su coquettishly, "Grandma, if my brother goes, I want to go to the city too."
Old Mrs. Su agreed: "Go! But you must listen to your father and don't run around. Be careful not to get kidnapped by kidnappers." Old Mrs. Su has always loved Su Zhihao and his sister the most, so everyone didn't think there was anything wrong with Old Mrs. Su's agreement.
Old Madam Su then followed the plan and said, "Old Third, go to the city and buy some more brown sugar. The more the better. I will need it."
Su Lao San cooperated and said, "Mom, what do you need so much brown sugar for? Brown sugar is very expensive."
"Don't worry about what I'm going to do! You'll know later. Just buy me lots of brown sugar. And remember not to draw anyone else's attention to your buying of brown sugar."
Su An Dong looked obedient and stopped asking: "I know, mother, don't worry!"
"If you have anything you want to buy, tell the third brother and ask him to buy it for you. If you haven't thought of anything yet, you can tell him tomorrow morning."
After deciding who would go tomorrow and ordering the oxcart, the family dispersed and went to bed early. They had to get up very early tomorrow.
The next morning, the whole family got up early, whether they were going to the city or not. Zhao Yun even got up early to cook for everyone, and even prepared food for a few people on the way.
Since the whole family is up, we might as well have breakfast together.
Zhao Yun, Su Yijiajia and Su Yitong wanted to buy some embroidery supplies, so they told Su Anton everything they wanted to buy.
Zhao Yun took out her embroidery and gave it to Su Andong, saying, "Third brother, help my sister-in-law take these embroidery to the embroidery shop and sell them."
"Okay, sister-in-law, don't worry!" Su Anton agreed.
For ancient people, this was a long journey. Transportation here was blocked, and many people had never left the county in their entire lives. Except for Su Andong, the rest of the family was also going to the capital for the first time. Su Guoguo and Su Miaomiao had never even been to the county.
Mrs. Su and the others could see that the other children in the family envied Su Zhihao and Su Yuanyuan, but no one clamored to go. Perhaps they were afraid of being rejected.
Old Madam Su looked at the children and said, "They are going to do some serious business. The city is too far away, and it's not convenient for you children to go with them. When there is a chance in the future, grandma will take you to the county." Old Madam Su did not promise to take them to the city, because the city was indeed far away and not easy to reach, but the county was no problem.
When the children heard this, they were all delighted. The grandson Su Zhixuan said sweetly, "Thank you, grandma. You are the best."
Old Mrs. Su felt itchy and touched her grandson's head. Old Mrs. Su has always liked children.
The family stood at the door and watched the group of people leave.
Su An Dong bought brown sugar in order to make white sugar. Although this was a fictional dynasty, white sugar was already available, as were corn and potatoes, but there were no tomatoes or peppers.
This family is too poor and needs money. In this world, if we don't stock up on supplies, it will be too insecure for the people who come here. So we have to make money.
White sugar is sold at a very high price here, it can be said to be a luxury. Su An Dong knew that white sugar could not be mass-produced, and he understood the principle of being guilty of possessing a treasure, so he did not plan to mass-produce it, but just wanted to use the yellow mud water sugar method to make a small amount, and sell it secretly to solve the problem of money.
In addition to sugar, several people also discussed privately to buy more coarse salt to make refined salt. Salt, like sugar, cannot be produced in large quantities, but a small amount can be made and sold secretly. Moreover, they did not intend to tell other people in the family about the secret sale of salt as they did with sugar. The money from selling salt was considered their family's private money.
The group successfully rented a carriage from the county's carriage shop, which was accompanied by a driver. The Su family had seven people, including two half-grown children, who squeezed into a carriage with difficulty. Su Anton sat on the shaft with the driver.
Su Andong was not idle along the way, chatting with the driver. It seemed that he was just chatting, but in fact, Su Andong was also asking about the situation in the city in disguise.
Although the people who came here all have memories, Su Anton has only been to the provincial capital three times in total, and he was in a hurry every time, so he knows very little about the provincial capital.
Finally, at the end of the hour of Wei, the group arrived at the city. Su An Dong estimated that it was around 2:3 or 7:3 in the afternoon. It was about 1:7 in the morning when they set out from the carriage and horse shop, and they arrived at : in the afternoon. Excluding the lunch and a short rest of nearly an hour on the way, they walked for a total of hours.
Although the carriage was not going fast and could not be considered urgent, it was still too slow!
Su Anton wailed in his heart! Seven hours! It really took my life!
Su An Dong asked the driver to take them directly to the hotel where they were staying and paid 500 coins for the rental fee. Su An Dong's heart was bleeding when he paid. It was really expensive! No wonder people in ancient times didn't go out easily. The transportation level was really too inconvenient.
Su Ankang came to the capital city for the first time. He looked at the inn in front of him and didn't dare to go in. He turned around and said to Su Andong beside him: "Third brother, this inn is too good, let's just stay in the big bunk bed to save money."
Su An Dong explained quietly to his second brother: "Second brother, we have valuable books on us, and it may not be safe to sleep in a large bunk bed. We will only stay for two nights at most, so we can't save this money."
Su Ankang nodded in understanding. He thought: Third brother is right. If the book is lost, it would be a loss of the greater good.
