Chapter 21: Ancient Farm Girl 21

"Are you tired?" Chen Lin asked.

"Is there anything wrong?" Su Chen replied.

"Well, since you're not tired, can you accompany me to go shopping? I heard that there was a large gathering here for a while before the New Year, and merchants from all over the world gathered here."

Although I can't go out these days, Chen Lin also asked someone to find out about this market. This market knows more than Hongmei, because it is located in the center of the country and is connected to the east, west, south and north by the canal.

So many people will come here to gather before the New Year to conduct a very large transaction, which will last until the 15th. It can be said that today is the last day.

Although she had bought a lot of things, she had never seen them with her own eyes, so she knew that there was something she had ignored.

"That's it?" Su Chen didn't expect that she was very attentive because she was going shopping. With his understanding of her, shouldn't he go directly by himself?

"That's it." Chen Lin nodded.

"Okay, wait, I want to put down the things and change my clothes." Su Chen agreed and said, Chen Lin realized that she was blocking the door and quickly moved away.

Su Chen took Songlin to the main courtyard to change his clothes, and then came out immediately, "Let's go." Chen Lin quickly stood up and followed, Hongmei and Ye Mei followed her.

The commercial street is still a little far away from them, close to the canal pier, and they are all residential areas. Although there are some shops, they are not as lively and spacious as here.

When Chen Lin arrived at the commercial street, she saw many street stalls on both sides of the street. Although there were shops here, the shops were all behind the street stalls. It snowed two days ago, but there was no trace at this moment, and it did not affect those people's business.

Chen Lin immediately forgot about Su Chen and walked around the street with great enthusiasm. When he saw all kinds of goods, food, clothing, use them to set up stalls.

"These people are all small merchants who follow the big caravan to go shopping. They don't have their own shops and caravans, and they have limited items to bring. It is not cost-effective to sell them directly to the shops, so they will set up stalls here." Su Chen followed and explained to Chen Lin.

"How do you know this?" Chen Lin asked curiously when she heard it.

"I learned a little." What he didn't say was that the former Su family had their own caravans, and their side branches could send people to follow the caravans and make some money.

"Oh." Chen Lin nodded and continued to look at the stalls. She saw the sheepskin seller. Look at the fur. She didn't think of her previous thoughts and made some wool and sweater.

"Boss, do you have too many hairs?" she walked over and asked.

"This is my remaining sheepskin, and there are no more." The stall owner replied.

"What I asked is, is there any place to buy this wool?" Chen Lin knew that he had misunderstood, so she spoke again.

"Wool, do you want to buy wool felt? That one has some." The stall owner took out a hard blanket from the bag on one side, and there was a odor.

Chen Lin was speechless. She didn't want to ask this, but it seemed that there was no more, so she stood up. Seeing that she was very disappointed, Su Chen asked, "What's wrong? If you want sheepskin, buy it."

"No, I want wool. I need a lot of stuff." She knows how to make wool, and even spinning machines. After all, she has searched information for writing novels.

"Wool? For this kind of sheep, it is mainly the nomadic peoples outside the border who will be stocked. If you want a large number of them, you may have to find those caravans." Su Chen didn't know what Chen Lin wanted to do. Although the wool looked warm, the only thing that was hard felt was made.

"Outside the Frontier?" Chen Lin knew that the battle between the Chen State and the nomadic people had never stopped. However, thinking that humans had the greatest benefits, it was not surprising that people would go to the Frontier to trade. After all, it was not planted there, and the intake of vegetable vitamins was entirely based on wild vegetables and tea vegetables exported from inland.

Therefore, they have been peeping inland for a long time. Unfortunately, even if they succeed, what if they succeed? The nomadic people themselves cannot plant them. You can tell by looking at the Yuan Dynasty. After conquering the Song Dynasty, it was just a waste of life and was overthrown within a hundred years.

"Then please help me ask Mr. Huang if he does this business." Chen Lin thought for a while. Originally, she was going to let someone go, but it was easy to form a caravan. Not to mention manpower, but also requires force, otherwise it would be just a delivery of vegetables.

Not to mention that outside the Great Wall is dangerous, those people are nomadic people and can turn into robbers at any time, but all kinds of bandits along the way are troublesome enough.

Since this is the case, it is better to find someone to work with him. Wool is also considered fabric. I believe Huang Yongxin should be interested. Su Chen didn't say anything when he heard it. He didn't interfere with what Chen Lin was interested in.

However, he also began to think about whether he would make some money, although he agreed to draw tricks to Huang Yongxin and get 10% of the dividends, but this has not been opened yet. Although his family had some money left before, there was not much left in the past few years.

Chen Lin didn't know what he was thinking, she found a good thing, "Boss, how do you sell this?" She picked up a golden corn cob and asked, yes, this is indeed corn cob.

"I brought this golden rod back from a long distance overseas, and the price is not cheap." The stall owner began to brag as soon as he saw the customer.

"How much?" Chen Lin didn't want to talk nonsense to him. She had already checked this world. There were no high-yield grains such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn. There was a kind of cassava that had a relatively high yield, but the taste was really not bad and had no taste.

She originally thought she would be an official after Su Chen passed the exam, and she was asking people to go out to search for her, but she didn't expect to encounter one of them now.

"Ten taels of silver per." The stall owner said directly.

"How many do you have?" Chen Lin asked.

"Not many, only ten." The stall owner replied. He just took some of this thing back when he saw Xizhi. It was said that they ate it. He cooked one and ate it, which was too hard.

"20 taels, I'll ask for them all." Chen Lin reached out and Ye Mei immediately took out the 20 taels of silver notes from her purse.

"No, it's too cheap, at least 80 taels." The stall owner shook his head, and he could see that Chen Lin wanted this.

"Then forget it." Chen Lin stood up, took the money back and turned around and left. In modern times, corn is only 5 yuan per person, and it is still ripe. If it weren't for not having it here, she wouldn't want to lower the price too much and owe the other party, so she wouldn't pay the money. Subconsciously, she felt that 20 taels were enough.
