Su Anton and his family did not go shopping with them because they had other things to do.
In order to sell the sugar and salt in the space, he had to go to the bank to exchange the silver notes for silver. He also had to secretly store supplies in the space according to the plan. It was very busy.
This time when she came to the capital, Su Yuanyuan went to a rouge shop and bought some rouge and powder. She also went to a clothing shop and bought a few clothes.
When Su An Dong and his friends went out to do some work, Su Yuan Yuan dressed them up to hide their identities. The cosmetics in ancient times could not be compared with those in modern times, but they could still be used.
Su Anton divided the silver notes into three banks and exchanged them for gold and silver. For each 1,000 taels of silver note, half was gold and half was silver.
Fortunately, there were more money houses and rich people in the capital than in the county, so it did not attract attention.
Su An Dong thought that sugar was a precious commodity that was not sold in grocery stores, so he would not buy it. He went directly to the best restaurant in the city. Such a restaurant not only had strength, but also had a large customer base.
I didn't sell all the 120 kilograms of sugar to a restaurant because the quantity was too large and might arouse suspicion.
I sold them to two restaurants that were far away, each of which sold 40 jin. I also sold 20 jin to restaurants in two county towns that were close to the capital.
When selling sugar, I also sold the 45 jin of fine salt in the space, also in batches. The fine salt was sold at 90 wen per jin, and I made a total of liang of silver.
White sugar has been available for a long time in this era, but it is not popular among the people. Ordinary people cannot afford it, and only wealthy officials can afford it.
White sugar was sold at the price of 180 wen per catty, for a total of 21 taels and 6 qian of silver.
Although Su An Dong didn't know how much their sugar was purchased at, he estimated that it would not be less than 200 Wen. The owner of the restaurant saw that it was cheaper than what he bought last time, so he happily bought it.
Su Andong and his companions knew that this was not a long-term business, so they did not talk too much with the restaurant owner.
Su Anton went in alone to sell sugar, but Su Zhihao was waiting outside.
After leaving the restaurant, Su An Dong walked in front, while Su Zhihao followed behind to see if anyone was following them. After confirming that no one was following them, the two would meet up.
During this period, a restaurant did send two people to follow him. After Su Zhihao found out, he did not take action immediately, but followed the agreement in advance.
Su An Dong led the two men to a remote alley, and Su Zhihao knocked them out. He made a note of this restaurant and would never come again no matter what it sold.
In the past two days, several people have stockpiled a lot of supplies, including food, cloth, cotton, brown sugar, coarse salt and other daily necessities.
Su Antong and his companions were very busy during their two days in the provincial capital.
The other members of the Su family thought that these people were busy selling sugar. They knew that Su An Dong disguised himself to sell sugar and went to the nearby county. They just didn't know that Su An Dong was hoarding supplies.
In order to let them know more intuitively that although sugar is valuable, their Su family cannot protect it. Su Anton told them about being followed while selling sugar.
After hearing this, the Su family was a little scared and were glad that Su Anton had a plan. They also understood the importance of the sugar matter and kept their mouths shut even more tightly.
In front of everyone, Old Lady Su split the profits of sugar 7-6 as agreed beforehand. The cost of sugar was 21 taels and 6 cents, and it was sold for 7 taels and cents, of which taels of silver was given to Su An Dong.
Old Mrs. Su observed the expressions of the Su family. Seeing that they all looked as if it was their right to give Su Anton some money, she felt a lot more relieved.
Those who wanted to stroll around had strolled around, and their work had been done, so the group decided to go home the next day.
The next day, after breakfast, Mrs. Su said she had something to buy and would go home after that.
Old Madam Su told Su Ankang: "You leave the shop and go to the carriage shop to rent a carriage. Let Dalang drive the mule cart with us and meet at the city gate after shopping."
Su Ankang always responded.
Old Mrs. Su took her daughter-in-law and the girls in the family to the jewelry shop. When they arrived at the jewelry shop, except Zhou Huilan and Su Yuanyuan, everyone else was a little reserved as it was their first time to the jewelry shop.
Mrs. Su thought, since we have the conditions now, why not spend money to make everyone happy! Buying jewelry is also a kind of encouragement to everyone!
Old Mrs. Su said to them very generously, "Each of your daughters-in-law can pick out a silver bracelet, and each of your daughters can pick out a silver hairpin. I will buy them for you."
Several people looked at each other in surprise. We didn't expect that Old Mrs. Su would be so generous.
What woman doesn't like jewelry? They all feel happy about it.
They all thanked Old Mrs. Su and started picking their own items.
Old Mrs. Su also picked out a silver bracelet for Zhao Yun, who stayed at home and did not come, and a hairpin for Su Yijiajia.
Seeing that her grandmother was only helping others to choose and not choosing, Su Yuanyuan began to help her grandmother choose. When she saw something that she liked, she helped her grandmother to wear it.
As soon as Mrs. Su saw her granddaughter's posture, she understood what she meant and said, "I'm so old now, it won't look good with you."
"How can it not look good? I saw my grandma wearing it and it looks good. Grandma, just buy this!"
Old Mrs. Su never said no to her granddaughter, thinking: Just buy it! It's money anyway.
Finally, Old Mrs. Su bought a silver clove for each female member of the family, and this shopping trip was over.
The four silver bracelets cost a total of 6 taels of silver, the five silver hairpins cost a total of 6 taels of silver, the nine silver cloves cost a total of one tael of silver, and I also bought a few silk flowers for two cents.
This made the waiter in the shop very happy. He thought the customer would not buy anything, but unexpectedly he actually bought a lot.
Everyone received a gift, and the group happily went to meet at the city gate.
On the way to the city gate, Old Lady Su reminded them, "Although I bought it for you, it's better not to take it out for the time being. We can't show off right now. Everyone's life is not easy right now. Don't attract the attention of others. Silver clove is fine, take it if you want!"
They all understood what Old Lady Su meant and agreed to everything, reassuring her that they knew the importance of the matter.
The people waiting at the city gate had been told by Su Anton that Old Lady Su was taking the women in her family to buy jewelry.
The boys in the family felt envious when they heard this.
Su An Dong looked at these guys and said, "Don't be silly and envious. You should know that only when the women in the family are well dressed, we men will be proud. Remember, our responsibility as men is to make our family live a good life."
Several boys hurriedly said, "Yes, Uncle San, we understand."
After meeting at the city gate, the group headed home and finally reached home before dark.
This time when she went to the provincial capital, Old Mrs. Su sensed the weather in the south of the provincial capital. She had a hunch that it would rain in the south soon.
Su Anton and his companions were very happy to hear this. Although there was no guarantee that what Old Lady Su had in mind would come true, there was always hope.
The south of the city has been dry for so long. If it doesn't rain, I'm afraid people will flee from the famine. If that happens, there will be more instability.
Their family hopes that there will be good weather and good harvests every year so that everyone can live a better life.
