Shocking! In this matriarchal society, every man wants to marry me!
Are there other time travelers in Chapter 12?
"A big deal? Tell me about it?"
Nakata's goal was to attract big business.
Song Jinshu smiled and led Zhong Tian into the inner room, then slammed the door shut.
This situation is extremely unfavorable; it's like being in a compromising situation.
"Uh, open the door..."
Song Jinshu teased, "I'm a widowed man and I'm not afraid, but you're acting all reserved. If my wife takes a liking to me, it would be quite a romantic affair."
Nakata couldn't handle this kind of teasing at all.
"Manager Song, you speak!"
Xia Jinshu lowered her voice: "The second branch of the Xia family brought a ship of goods from the south. It's from the Jiangnan area, something called glass. It's a rare item."
Glass?
Could anyone in this dynasty actually be capable of making glass?
Has technology advanced to this level, or have time travelers also traveled here? Zhongtian's answer leans more towards the latter.
"...But when people come here and have seen this kind of thing, some of them don't like it and it doesn't suit the local conditions, so it hasn't been able to be sold."
Unsold? That shouldn't be the case; glass has a wide range of applications!
"Is this the Xia family's business?"
Song Jinshu nodded.
Zhongtian thought for a moment and said, "The Xia family is too big and powerful for me to associate with."
“I’ll go talk to them,” Song Jinshu promised. “If the deal goes through, I want this amount.”
Zhongtian glanced at Song Jinshu, who had a smile on her lips, but her eyes were unyielding.
"I won't treat you unfairly," Nakata agreed, then asked, "Where is the stuff? I need to go check on it."
"It's docked!"
"it is good."
"...Take me with you during the negotiations."
"nature…"
At this moment, Jin Xia arrived with the others. Some of them were exhausted, their faces flushed, but they were clearly very excited. "Master, we..."
Zhongtian had long had ideas about their resettlement. She gave them what she had in her hands: a city layout that Zhongtian had collected over the past two days, clearly dividing the commercial and residential areas.
"These are four regions: east, south, west, and north. Each of you will be responsible for one region."
The group looked on in confusion: "What are we supposed to do?"
"You need to knock on every door and tell them that you will provide them with delivery services, and deliver whatever they need to them."
"You may be neglected, but this is the only way you can go."
"…it is good."
"If you can persevere, you will reap huge profits."
"And what about you, host?"
"All I need is for you to sign a contract, and the courier will prioritize serving me."
"it is good…"
The four were clearly excited. Zhongtian did not intend to profit from it; all the money earned would belong to them.
The four left excitedly. Song Jinshu watched this scene, looking at her in astonishment. Could she really be such a philanthropist? Could a philanthropist be a businessman?
Zhong Tian wasn't a fool; she had thought it over carefully. The profit margin in the express delivery business was huge. In modern society, a complete network and powerful transportation would allow express delivery to develop rapidly, but in ancient times, relying solely on manpower, the profit was very low.
These four people paved the way, mainly to cultivate the ancient people's habit of using express delivery and to raise their awareness of express delivery.
This is a long road.
After leaving Hongsushou, Zhongtian went to Luban Wood Shop in town. The shopkeeper was a woman in her fifties. The shop was filled with all kinds of wood, and the smell of fresh wood permeated the air. She was quite obsessed with woodworking and didn't even look up when customers came in.
"My lady, please feel free to look around..."
This is a very spacious place, with all sorts of woodworking items piled up together.
"Shopkeeper, where's the reclining chair?"
"over there."
...
With a thud, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a woman in her thirties walked in with a fierce look on her face. She looked around as if she was looking for someone.
The shopkeeper frowned: "Chai Quan... what are you doing here?"
The fierce expression on Chai Quan's face vanished instantly, replaced by a grin as he approached her: "Sis,... we're out of money."
The shopkeeper didn't believe it at all and kept telling him to get out: "I've been giving you money all day long, do you think money grows on trees!"
"Sister, sister, sister~"
At that moment, Chai Quan saw Zhong Tian and exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this Zhong Tian...! Where have you been making your fortune these past few days?"
Oh! The original owner's cronies.
Not wanting to get entangled with them, Nakata paid the bill and prepared to leave.
"This is my address. Please deliver it to this address, shopkeeper. Here is the delivery fee!"
Express delivery fee? It was a new term, but since there was an extra five cents, the vendor agreed.
As they were leaving, they heard Chai Quan tugging at the shopkeeper's arm, pleading, "Sister, give me a little! Give me a little!"
...
In the evening, Li Yu delivered the recliner. When she saw that the host was Zhong Tian, she was very excited and refused to accept the delivery fee. She left in high spirits.
The recliner was placed in the small room. Zhongtian tore off a piece of cloth and divided the room into two parts, so that he could finally sleep without having to wrap himself up so tightly.
She considered going back to her house in town, but she still needed to feed the three wild boars on the mountain every day.
Xia Jin'an's clothes were ready. The sky-blue clothes accentuated his slender figure. The fabric was enough to make two sets of clothes. One night, Zhong Tian was reading a book when Xia Jin'an lifted the curtain.
"Master, let me take your measurements!"
size?
Zhongtian stood there obediently as Xia Jin'an's hand moved over her shoulder, then her leg, and slowly down to her waist.
Zhongtian grasped Xia Jin'an's still-mischievous hand, "Jin'an... is it alright now?"
"...Okay."
It's time to put going back to town on the agenda.
Nakata stood on the dock, the wind blowing through her hair, bringing a slight chill.
She looked at the cargo ship moored at the bow.
"Can I come in?"
The Xia family servants nonchalantly let her in; if they couldn't sell it, it was just a pile of useless garbage.
When Zhongtian went inside, the glaring light made her feel a little dizzy. The room was full of fragile glass, including glass cups and large shards of glass. Zhongtian went up and touched them, and judging from the craftsmanship, the quality was quite excellent.
After leaving, she left the dock and went to Fu Man Lou restaurant.
Song Jinyi sent a message yesterday evening that Xia Fang wanted to meet her at Fumanlou Restaurant!
She was quite looking forward to this meeting!
