Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity
Chapter 184 Shopkeeper Xu Buys Sheep
"I don't want money." Xiao Lan reiterated her thoughts.
Even though Shen Liu had known about the girl's intelligence, her performance still surprised him a little. He originally thought that the girl would ask for some money.
"Okay." Shen Liu said with a smile. This was the second time he laughed out loud tonight. People who knew him well knew that this was a sign of his happiness.
"Is the car ready?" Shen Liu asked the servant beside him.
"It's ready." The servant replied quickly.
"It's getting late, we should leave." As he said this, the group left the house where Xiao Lan was temporarily staying. Of course, a big insect also left with them.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. Not long after Shen Liu left, Zhao Dongjia and Manager Xu came to the door.
"In the evening, I saw you from afar, but I didn't dare to confirm it at that time. After entering the city and meeting Hu Yidao, I knew you were staying here." Zhao Dongjia said, "So Manager Xu and I left the city without stopping."
"When we came, we saw a lot of soldiers standing at the door, so we didn't dare to come up to disturb them. Now that the soldiers have withdrawn, we came to disturb them." Shopkeeper Xu said with a smile.
"You two are here for my sheep, right?" Xiao Lan said with a smile, "You two came early, so you can pick the sheep tomorrow."
When Zhao Dongjia heard Xiao Lan say this, he was overjoyed. After all, they were related, so the way they interacted with other merchants was different. "We accepted your kindness. If it wasn't for the dark sky, I would have chosen the sheep first." Zhao Dongjia said with a smile.
"If you two don't mind, you can stay here for one night. Tomorrow morning, you can choose the sheep you want," Xiao Lan said.
"Okay, okay, okay," Zhao Dongjia said three "Okay" words in a row, "The price and other things will be according to what you said, we won't bargain." Zhao Dongjia said with a smile.
"We have a shortage of mutton in Liaodong Prefecture, and winter is about to come. Rich families all like to eat mutton to maintain their health. Miss Xiaolan, your batch of sheep arrived at the right time, and you won't have trouble selling them," Zhao Dongjia added.
"The boss is right. The price of mutton doesn't change every day, but the weather is getting colder. Rich families like to use mutton to make soup. It's the same in previous years. The closer to the end of the year, the more expensive the mutton." Shopkeeper Xu said with a smile, "Besides, these sheep are driven here from Quanshui Town. The taste of these sheep is similar to that of sheep on the grassland. This kind of sheep is expensive. In addition, the road from Quanshui Town to the capital is not peaceful. On weekdays, not many people dare to transport sheep from there to our place so blatantly. The price of this kind of sheep is even more expensive."
Xiao Lan thought to herself that she had taken advantage of Shen Liu this time. If He Mingyu, Shen Ada and several guards had not followed her, she would not have dared to be so generous. It seemed that she had to keep a sheep and send it to the Shen Mansion. Although a sheep was nothing, it represented her thoughts after all, and also showed that she was a person who knew how to repay kindness.
When it was daybreak, Xiaolan, Dajiang, Xiaohe, Zhao Dongjia, Manager Xu and their followers had breakfast and went to pick sheep.
Even brothers have to settle accounts openly, not to mention that Xiaolan's family and the Bao family haven't officially married yet, and they are even more roundabout in their relationship with Zhaodong's family.
"Miss Xiaolan, I want to buy these sheep individually, so that we can raise them for a while when we go back and sell them until the end of the year, and the restaurant can also use fresh mutton every day." Shopkeeper Xu looked at the sheep in the vacant lot, thought for a while and said, "Miss, please give me a price."
"Fifteen taels of silver per piece." Xiao Lan said with a smile, "No matter how big or small, it's all fifteen taels of silver, but you came first, so you can choose first."
Shopkeeper Xu pondered for a while, stroked his beard and said, "It's a bit expensive."
Xiao Lan smiled and said, "Now the price of genuine grassland sheep is more than this, and the price gets more expensive as the year comes to an end. Shopkeeper Xu, you have been in charge of the restaurant business, and you must have cooperation with many butchers. You must have some idea of the price I mentioned. I took a lot of effort to drive these sheep from Quanshui Town. I don't need to say much about the dangers of the road, but it took me three whole days just to walk."
Shopkeeper Xu knew that what Xiao Lan said was true. She had only walked for three days because of Mr. Shen Liu's help. If it were an ordinary person, it would take ten days or eight days. If she encountered a robber on the way, it would be even more difficult to say. After all, poor and remote places produce unruly people. Many merchants who traveled between Quanshui Town and Liaodong Prefecture had suffered losses and even lost their lives.
Shopkeeper Xu thought for a while, and compared the cost of feeding the sheep with the cost of buying mutton directly from the butcher. He still felt that it was more cost-effective to raise the sheep at home, and he could also guarantee that his sheep were genuine grassland sheep. "Okay, I want 20 sheep, no, 30." Shopkeeper Xu said.
Shopkeeper Xu knew very well that after buying sheep this time, all the restaurants and hotels in the city would come to buy sheep. If other merchants were ahead of him, he would only make it difficult for Miss Xiaolan even if he wanted to squeeze in. So why not buy a few more while he had the upper hand and could choose by himself? Anyway, as long as they were fed some grass, these sheep would survive.
Dajiang and Xiaohe were catching sheep as instructed by Manager Xu, who had the waiters of the restaurant carry them back in batches. Xiaolan still tied the sheep together with ropes and asked the waiters to drive them back so that the sheep would not get separated.
Several people were working in full swing. When they finished, Xiao Lan took the 450 taels of silver notes in her hand and smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits.
After seeing off Manager Xu and Zhao Dongjia and his entourage, the threshold of the place where Xiao Lan lived was almost trampled to pieces by the managers and their companions from various restaurants.
It turned out that when Shopkeeper Xu and his group drove the sheep back, they had done some free publicity for Xiaolan. The whole city probably knew that Xiaolan had authentic grassland sheep. The restaurant was in the food business, and the one with the best dishes and the most delicious taste would be the most popular. All the shopkeepers didn't want to miss this opportunity to buy sheep.
When Hu Yidao arrived, Xiao Lan was arguing with the bosses. Because Boss Xu was the first to pick, he naturally picked the fattest sheep first, and the sheep picked by the bosses in front of him were of higher quality than those in the back, so the people in the back were not happy.
