MTL - The Reborn Lady is Farming-Chapter 17 goodbye
Mingshui County belongs to Xia County among the eighty-eight counties of Xingyuan Prefecture, but because it is close to the border and the mountains and forests, there are a lot of leather goods and Hu people’s products. Merchants from the south like to come here to buy goods, so they come and go. There are more people than Zhongxian.
The last time Mu Yangling came to the county town was the winter of more than a year ago, when the New Year was approaching, and Mu Shi just made a fortune, so he brought his wife and children to the county town to buy New Year's goods.
Over the past year, Mingshui County has not changed much, and it is still as lively as ever.
"Dad, where are we going?"
"Let's go to Fang Market first, where merchants buy goods."
Fang City in Mingshui County has all kinds of things. Furs are the goods that occupy the largest space, and the medicinal materials are next to it.
Xingyuanfu's medicinal materials are as famous as leather goods.
Mu Yangling had already got off the cart, and walked beside his father looking left and right, Mu Shi whispered: "I have seen these business fathers, the last time I came here, the price was very low, let's go inside and take a look. "
Mu Yangling saw the merchants standing behind the booth. He just glanced at Mu Shi before moving his eyes away, and some people even snorted arrogantly from their nostrils.
Mu Yangling couldn't help frowning, shouldn't the businessman value peace? Daddy's furs are the best in this market.
The more he went in, the more disappointed Mu Shi became. These businessmen were all the ones he met last time, and there was no difference.
Mu Shi stopped and said to his daughter: "You watch here, Dad go and ask the price."
"Okay." Mu Yangling sat on the cart obediently.
Mu Shi took a piece of fur and went to ask the price from one family to another. Mu Yangling observed the people in the market, and paid special attention to several nearby merchants who received furs. He found that the prices they purchased were similar, and only good ones came across. The phenomenon of raising the price will only occur from time to time, but it is not intense. Most of them are raised three or two times before someone withdraws from the offer.
Mu Yangling knew that these merchants were united, and it was a unified act to lower the price of Mu Shi.
Mu Yangling frowned in disgust, not knowing that a young man not far away was looking at him in surprise.
Qi Haoran grabbed Fan Zijin, pointed at Mu Yangling and said happily, "Zijin, look at who that is? We said just now that we would repay our gratitude when we had time, but people came."
Fan Zijin was also a little surprised to see Mu Yangling sitting on the trolley, "Why is she here?"
"Then why don't you ask? She must be here to sell furs. She is so good at hunting. She must have accumulated a lot of furs at home. Let's go, let's go and have a look. If there are any good ones, let's go and buy some." Qi Haoran pulled Fan Zijin over.
Fan Zijin's intuition is not good, and this person's appearance is too coincidental. Once suspected, it is inevitable to think more.
They only found Brother Xiuyuan and he appeared. What if they were spies sent by the Hu people, or spies sent by the imperial court? It may also be sent by an opponent who wants to deal with Brother Xiuyuan...
Fan Zijin was still thinking about it, Qi Haoran jumped up happily and wanted to pat Mu Yangling on the shoulder.
Mu Yang smartly reached out and grabbed Qi Haoran's hand, twisting it slightly, Qi Haoran screamed "Wow" and shouted, "Take it easy, take it easy, it's me, Miss Mu, don't you remember me? "
Mu Yangling saw that it was Qi Haoran, so he quickly let go, and was a little surprised to see the two of them, "It's you? Have you found your relatives?"
Fan Zijin said modestly: "I would like to thank Miss Mu. We found our family when we arrived in the county town yesterday afternoon. How did Miss Mu come to the county town?"
"I came here with my father to sell furs, Mr. Qi, are your hands alright?"
Qi Haoran waved his hand and said, "You're so strong, but it doesn't matter, I'm used to beating since I was a child."
Fan Zijin glanced at him, then looked down at his wrist and smiled coldly.
Qi Haoran glared at him and asked Mu Yangling, "Miss Mu, what about your father?"
"He went to ask the price."
Qi Haoran said puzzledly: "Isn't the price all the same? Why do you still ask?" He and Fan Zijin came over early in the morning and found that the prices for furs purchased here are all about the same.
Mu Yangling said helplessly: "They deliberately lowered the price of my house, and the price they gave is half of what they paid to others, so my father wanted to compare who gave it a little higher, and see if I could mention it further."
Qi Haoran was surprised, "Why? Your father offended these businessmen?"
"No," Mu Yangling snorted, "it's just bullying my father to look like a barbarian."
Fan Zijin raised his eyebrows and pointed at Mu Shi who was asking the price: "Is that your father?"
Mu Yangling nodded.
Qi Haoran didn't like the Hu people, so he looked at Mu Shi carefully and said, "It's just that the eyes and nose are a little bit similar, and they look a bit sturdy, but they're not particularly similar. Does your father have the blood of the Hu people?"
Mu Yangling nodded, "Half of my grandfather's blood is Hu people, but our family has settled in Linshan Village for a long time, and my father has a lot of old friends in Qili Township. It used to be good in the county, but I don't know. Why, since the merchants in the county town have changed a lot, the price of my father's furs has often been pushed down in the past two years. If it hadn't been too far to go to Xingzhou, my father would have carried the furs to Xingzhou to sell them. Why bother here? Get angry with them."
It is said that Mu Shi looks like Hu people, but it is because the Han people around him are compared. Mu Shi's eyes are darker, his facial features are relatively rough, his nose is relatively high, and his stature is sturdy, in a group of people who are only as tall as his chin. There is a feeling of standing out among the Han men.
But in the army, it won't be abrupt. Qi Haoran has seen many such people in the capital, and he doesn't think the other party is too Hu people.
Fan Zijin pondered for a moment and then understood the reason, and said, "Your father's fur seems to be good."
"That's natural. My grandfather had a good skill in tanning leather. My father got it from my grandfather. The fur from my family's hunting is my father's tanning, which is the best in the market."
"That's no wonder. Your family has good hunting skills and tanned leather. The price is high and large. It will cost a lot of money to buy your leather goods. Those traders are afraid to see that your father looks like a Hu. The local people have hatred for the Hu people, so they agreed to lower the price. Otherwise, if they were local Han people, traders would not dare to do this."
The reason why the merchants are united is to prevent them from being bullied by the local people in other countries, and the local people will also unite in order not to be too **** the price of the merchants. included.
Mu Yangling frowned, thought for a while and said, "Are there any other merchants who are also excluded?"
Fan Zijin glanced at Mu Yangling approvingly, and said, "I don't know about this, but you can ask the owner of the workshop here, he should know."
Mu Yangling looked at the two with bright eyes, "Do you know the owner of the shop here?" Mu Yangling had long noticed that their clothes were luxurious, and they were not the embarrassed appearance they saw yesterday.
Fan Zijin was about to repay yesterday's favor. Hearing that, he nodded with a smile: "Although I don't know him, I should be able to meet him. If Miss Mu wants to see him, I can have someone bring him here."
