Chapter 252 The Wei Family, the Richest Family in Xingzhou
The prison didn't bring many clothes this time, and only a third of the prisoners changed into new clothes.
Their fabrics are far inferior to those of the Mu and Xie families.
But they are already very content.
After all, who would want to wear prison clothes and be seen by passersby, subjected to torture by stares, and have rotten vegetable leaves and stones thrown at them?
Neither the Su nor the Shen family changed into new clothes. They planned to wash them thoroughly once they entered the city to avoid getting their new clothes dirty.
He Yunzhang chatted with the girl's family for half an hour.
He Yunshang was worried about delaying the Su family's affairs, so she quickly urged her elder brother to leave.
"Brother, once we've successfully entered the city, we'll have plenty of time to get to know each other. You should go and deal with the Su family's affairs first."
He Yunzhang already knew how perilous his sister's journey to exile was.
If it weren't for the protection of the Su family, he might never have seen his sister's family again!
and.
He also learned about the Su family and the princess's scheme and clearly realized how much the Su family had done for his sister!
He even accepted money from Miss Shen to buy clothes!
He is so ungrateful and doesn't deserve to be called a human being!
"I understand, I'll take care of it right away."
Su Yunhai and Su Ding'an, still unable to stay idle, continued to hawk their fruit by the roadside.
They knew they could sell the fruit, but they just enjoyed the feeling of doing business.
Su Ding'an, in particular, was exceptionally enthusiastic.
Although he didn't get a single penny after selling it, as he handed it all over to his father, he still felt incredibly satisfied.
He thoroughly enjoyed it.
"Miss Shen, thank you so much for taking care of my younger sister all the way!" He Yunzhang came to Shen Shuli and bowed deeply again to express his gratitude.
Shen Shuli waved her hand at him, "There's no need for that. Let's get into the city as soon as possible and sell the fruit."
"it is good."
Shen Shuli only brought Su Ping'an, Xuan Guang, and Xuan Ye with her when she entered the city, but Su Ding'an insisted on coming along, and Shen Shuli did not refuse.
This cheap third brother is very interested in business, and we will definitely need to cultivate his abilities in this area in the future. It would be better to let him follow along and observe more now.
He Yunzhang led Shen Shuli and her group to a grand mansion in the southern district.
After observing the mansion for a while, Shen Shuli realized that it was clearly the home of a wealthy merchant, but not an official residence.
No matter how wealthy a merchant is, they cannot build arbitrarily beyond the regulations of the imperial court; otherwise, it would be considered disrespectful to the imperial court.
He Yunzhang explained, "This is the Wei family, the richest family in Xingzhou Prefecture. They will definitely accept anything that is scarce."
Shen Shuli nodded to indicate that she understood.
The thing wealthy merchants have in abundance is money.
Using silver to buy rare items to curry favor with officials and expand one's network of connections is something that all wealthy merchants will inevitably do.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the richest person in the world.
He Yunzhang stepped forward and knocked on the door.
The door was quickly opened.
The gatekeeper glanced at the people in front of the gate, including many carriages and horses, and already knew what was going on.
The gatekeeper asked routinely, "What brings you here?"
He Yunzhang quickly explained his purpose: "Brother, we have acquired a batch of top-quality fruits from the south and would like your household to try them. Could you please inform us?"
He gave the servant three avocados, and personally peeled one open so the servant could taste it first.
The gatekeeper saw that the visitor was quite sensible and generously took a bite, secretly thinking to himself that it was indeed delicious.
After quickly finishing the whole thing, he immediately felt refreshed and his mind became clearer.
It's really good stuff!
His eyes lit up, and without He Yunzhang urging him, he immediately took the two fruits from He Yunzhang's hand, his attitude becoming much more respectful. He said, "Please wait a moment, everyone. I will go and inform the master right away."
soon.
The gatekeeper led the Wei family steward out to greet the guests.
The steward has received the master's approval; these fruits must be obtained.
He then hurriedly came out.
He Yunzhang greeted Steward Wei with a respectful bow, saying, "Greetings, Steward Wei. May I ask if your household is interested in accepting these fruits?"
The moment the butler appeared, he knew in his heart that the deal was half done.
All that's left is to negotiate the price.
Butler Wei nodded slightly to him, then turned his gaze to the five carts in front of the door.
He never expected there to be so many fruits.
"We don't know how much you plan to offer, but if it's reasonable, we'll take it all," the butler asked, inquiring about the price.
He Yunzhang smiled and quoted a price: "One tael of silver each."
Upon hearing this, Steward Wei and the servant at the door gasped in shock!
They never expected that the fruit would be so ridiculously expensive!
"too expensive!"
Butler Wei's brows were furrowed tightly.
This price was far beyond his expectations, and he had no say in the matter.
He Yunzhang's smile remained unchanged as he quickly offered an explanation.
"Don't worry, this fruit was transported from the south, three thousand miles away. We definitely don't have such fruit here. Moreover, the entire Dayong is currently experiencing a drought, and the south is also affected."
"These days it's not easy to find fruit, let alone this kind of top-quality fruit that's been transported from the far south. This price is already very low."
"Our family has the only one of these fruits in the entire Dayong. Whether we give them away as gifts or keep them for ourselves, we won't lose out."
Shen Shuli and the others, especially Su Ding'an, followed behind He Yunzhang, listening intently to his bargaining, their eyes gleaming with a peculiar light.
He never imagined he could boast like that!
These fruits were clearly picked from the nearby mountains.
Where did it come from? It was transported from the far south, three thousand miles away.
He listened to Uncle He's boasting, feeling extremely nervous, afraid that the other party would see through his lies.
But without realizing it, he had already memorized the tricks of the trade.
If Shen Shuli knew what Su Ding'an was thinking, she would definitely roll her eyes.
This fruit is indeed from the south.
He Yunzhang is absolutely right; it shows that he is knowledgeable.
The Su and Shen families are the ones who are ignorant.
The main reason was that they had seen with their own eyes that these fruit trees were growing in the nearby mountains, so they didn't think too much about it.
Another reason is that they trust Shen Shuli.
They would never have imagined that the fruit trees were transplanted from Shen Shuli's space.
This created the misunderstanding caused by the information gap.
Butler Wei was thoroughly persuaded.
But he couldn't make the decision on his own, so he immediately went back to consult his master.
This time, it took half an hour for Butler Wei to come out.
But he now had a wooden box in his hand.
"Come with me to the side gate and bring the things in," said Butler Wei.
He Yunzhang was overjoyed and immediately nodded to Shen Shuli to indicate that the matter was settled.
After checking the quantity, there were a total of 5416 fruits.
Shen Shuli took the liberty of rounding down the price, accepting only 5410 taels of silver.
She took the silver and asked happily, "We still have more than three thousand fruits, all of the same quality. I wonder if you still accept them? If not, we'll go ask the neighbor next door."
Upon hearing this, Butler Wei felt a lump in his throat.
He could easily estimate that each of these fruits weighed at least a pound just by lifting it in his hand.
I can't believe there are still more than three thousand left!
