Good luck every time

When people are busy, they can't take care of many things.

Li Ruyi had too many things in her hands, so she and Li Shiliu split up and began selling the goods in the city.

Two days later, Li Shiba and his friends arrived, along with the things that the eldest sister had recently helped collect.

Seeing the already crowded room becoming even more crowded, Li Shiliu's heart sank even more.

The situation in the capital city was more difficult than he had imagined. He had thought of many possibilities but there was only a slight improvement.

He knew exactly how much money Li Ruyi had, and it seemed that everything was coming to a standstill.

Li Shiliu suffered from insomnia every night.

His future is tied to Li Ruyi. After seeing the prosperity outside, who would be willing to return to live in a small village? ?

Li Ruyi was much more stable than him. During this period, she was selling goods while also inquiring about the situation. Combined with her previous accumulation, she had a rough idea in her mind.

Seven or eight days passed in a flash. Just when Li Shiliu could no longer sit still, Li Ruyi found him and explained things to him.

"It's still cold in spring, and many families have run out of charcoal recently. You can go around with your supplies these days and get the lowest price possible."

Blisters appeared on the corners of Li Shiliu's mouth. After all, he was not as patient as Li Ruyi.

"What's the lowest price? We don't have much profit at our current price."

Li Ruyi shook her head.

"The lowest is the lowest. No matter how much I charge, I will sell it as long as I add more money. Three or five cents is not too little."

Li Shiliu became even more panicked when he heard this, fearing that Li Ruyi was planning to take back the money and run away.

"Wouldn't that be a loss?"

The daily rent for this yard, and the expenses for so many people and carriages, what's the point of not making money?

Li Ruyi knew that Li Shiliu could not understand her intention, so she explained to him patiently.

"It is said that sweatshirts are sold in the summer solstice, and cotton-padded jackets are sold in the autumn. It is taboo to have too much stock in seasonal products. The money in hand is the turnover money. Besides, we have made enough money in the early stage. The most important thing now is to get the money back and do other things."

Li Shiliu still couldn't understand after hearing this.

"Then aren't these things wasted?"

Li Ruyi shook her head.

"We buy for three coins and sell for three coins. We don't seek to make money, but only to be fast. Now the most important thing for us is to be fast! At least this time, we are standing in the territory of the prefectural city, which means we have opened up the situation."

In the long run, this is more important than making money.

Li Shiliu still couldn't understand.

"But you used all the money you earned in the early stage to buy food and sell it cheaply to the villagers. What's the point of continuing like this?"

Li Shiliu did not understand this. In his opinion, the primary purpose of doing business is to make money, but after a year of hard work, Li Ruyi had nothing left.

The money she originally had was still the same, and even the fact that she could stand in the city now was because she saved Zhao Qi, and she could only make ends meet with the money given by the Zhao family.

Otherwise, he might have lost everything by now.

Li Ruyi certainly understood what Li Shiliu was thinking.

However, if she didn't have the money from the Zhao family, she wouldn't be so radical.

"Of course it is meaningful. We do business and Sanjia Village has become our source of goods. This will allow us to have things to buy and sell in the future, which is the greatest significance."

Li Shiliu frowned.

"But the herbs we collected from the mountains can also be traded. If we invest this money, we should be able to make more money now."

Li Ruyi shook her head.

"That depends on what you want to do. If you want to be an ordinary herbal medicine dealer, then there is no problem. But what is the difference between doing business in the prefectural capital and in the county town?"

"We have come to the capital city now to pursue a better future. We want to become a merchant caravan, not just a herbal medicine dealer, helping merchants to make a profit."

"We need goods and sources, connections, and outlets. These invisible things are also important."

Li Shiliu wanted to refute something, but he really couldn't refute what Li Ruyi said.

Before, they were dealers of medicinal herbs, and all they earned was a small profit from reselling.

Grandma Dante processed those herbs and made them into various medicinal powders. The profits swelled instantly. This small portion of goods has become the biggest source of money. In fact, as long as there is any, it will be sold out quickly.

It cannot be said that there is no money to be made from the sewing, after all, these things are the daily routine to maintain popularity.

But in addition to these, there must be more things to ensure that the embryonic caravan run by Li Ruyi can survive and not be replaced by others.

Li Shiliu seemed to understand something.

He nodded.

"I think I understand. If you say so, I can sell a lot of them recently."

Li Ruyi also had some ideas.

"Get busy! Let's work on both fronts and clear out the remaining goods as quickly as possible."

Li Shiliu hesitated for a moment.

"What about the charcoal in the village?"

He wanted to ask Li Ruyi if he was still collecting charcoal. If he continued like this, all the charcoal he collected would be piled up in his hands.

Li Ruyi was also thinking about this matter. She couldn't let the villagers sit idle, otherwise they would easily cause trouble.

"We will collect less, but we will also have a fixed sales channel."

Li Shiliu was a little bit unconvinced. Who was crazy enough to use charcoal when it was out of season?

Li Ruyi smiled.

"I haven't been traveling for nothing during this period. Sanjia Village is closer to the city, and our charcoal is cheaper than other places. This is our advantage."

Li Shiliu curled the corners of his mouth, but he was not as optimistic as Li Ruyi.

"As long as you have an idea."

He thought, if worst came to worst, he could still go back and continue collecting herbs.

Although the area had been handed over to Li Shiwu, Li Shiliu thought that he could expand the scope at that time. He was familiar with the area anyway, so it could be considered a retreat.

Li Ruyi probably guessed what he was thinking, but didn't say anything. Li Shiliu had been hit hard recently. Not only could he not expand, but he was also a little too shrunk.

This requires him to adjust his feelings himself.

Li Ruyi sent Li Shiliu away, and Li Er came to see her again.

"Didn't you say that Chen Panpan could be sent away in about ten days?"

Li Ruyi: …

"It's not even ten days yet!"

Li Er sighed.

"Seeing you guys are so busy, I always feel guilty staring at her all day long."

Li Ruyi patted his arm.

"That's great, you can take a break too. By the way, did she spread any news?"

Li Er shook his head.

"No, I'm very honest."

Because Chen Panpan was too honest, Li Er felt like a pervert who was peeping at women.

Li Ruyi comforted him with a few words.

"Your business is more important. We cannot break up with the Zhao family right now. It will be bad for us if we don't handle Zhao Qi's business well. I can't trust anyone else except you in this matter."

Li Er was comforted by Li Ruyi.

He has been keeping an eye on Chen Panpan for these days and has seen through a lot of things. This woman is really not someone that ordinary people can deal with.

"Okay! Just know what's going on!"

Li Ruyi: …

She suspected that the two brothers had discussed this and were trying to do this to her.

However, Li Er was feeling uncomfortable, and Chen Panpan wasn't feeling much better either.

Li Er is a principled man and does not care about women. After Li Ruyi told him about this, Li Er became extra wary of Chen Panpan.

Those methods that were easily used on other men had no effect on Li Er.

Chen Panpan has been very annoyed these days.

She was also very nervous, thinking that Li Ruyi would not know her identity and was just testing her.

At the same time, I can't offset the uneasiness in my heart.

The culprit, Li Ruyi, has already started hanging around the roast and hot pot restaurants in the city.

It is said that food is the most important thing for people. There are many restaurants in the city that use charcoal. Compared with those who specialize in buying charcoal, the charcoal in Li Ruyi's hands is not much. Relying on the low price, he has indeed opened up some sales channels.

After running for two days, when Li Shiliu was about to deliver goods and come back to move things, he was shocked to see that a lot of charcoal was suddenly missing.

What shocked him was not Li Ruyi's quick action, but how much money he would have to pay! ?
