The mother-in-law smiled and said: "There is nothing good, just a pot of chicken soup, you have to drink some, the village chief brought some dry goods, I will make it."
Su Ying hurriedly said: "Grandma, no need, we are not hungry, this is enough."
"Where can I go? Just wait, I'll come right away." After finishing speaking, the mother-in-law wanted to go into the house, and she glanced at the village chief sitting on a chair and beating his back. The newly made mattress was brought out today, and the village head has a bad back, so he can’t sit on such a hard chair.”
Niu Niu responded and walked into the house.
Su Ying looked at the pot of chicken soup in front of her, and felt a little complicated. Such a poor family, for the sake of strangers like them, brought out the best things to entertain them.
This made her feel a little guilty.
The village head greeted with a smile: "Don't look at it, come on, Grandma Chen is a good crafter."
As the village chief said, he was going to serve Su Ying and the two of them, but Su Ying hurriedly did it herself: "I'll do it, I'll do it myself."
Niu Niu came out from the back room, holding a freshly washed mattress in her hand, took it to the side of the village head, and said, "Grandpa, the village head, I will give you a mattress."
The village chief smiled and patted Niu Niu's head, got up, and Niu Niu started to put the mattress on it.
"Niuniu is really getting more and more sensible."
Su Ying raised her head with a smile, but her eyes showed surprise when she saw the mattress.
It was a high-quality fox fur. If it was sold in the market, it would cost at least a dozen taels of silver, but this family actually used it as a mattress
Isn't this guarding the golden mountain but not getting in? What a waste of money!
Su Ying gave a slight pause to her hand scooping up the soup. After filling a bowl, she handed it to Niu Niu who had been staring at the chicken soup. Then, while continuing to move her hands, she asked casually: "Village Chief, are you sure you are hunting?" There are plenty of pelts like this, why not sell them?"
The village head sighed, and pointed to the fur under his buttocks: "This kind of fur can only be sold for a few tens of pennies, and there are some fur sellers in the village, and they are just for some salt and rice, and they can't be sold. Price."
Su Ying was a little surprised. It seemed that these villagers had lived in the mountains for many years and had never been to the city—they must have been deceived.
Fur is the raw material for making high-end clothes. The expensive ones range from a few taels to tens of taels. If you encounter rare ones, you can buy them in a few hundred taels.
I think it was corrupted by those black-hearted middlemen.
Su Ying couldn't help but said, "These furs are more than this price, who are you selling them to?"
An idea came to her mind. Yinshu needs so many furs every year. Previously, they were purchased from other places, and the quality could not be guaranteed. If the furs these villagers obtained from hunting could be sold to Yinshu, wouldn’t it be a benefit for both parties?
The village head sighed: "Just sell it in the market. After a long time, people will come to buy it, but the price is relatively cheap."
Su Ying handed the bowl to the village head: "Why don't you sell it to Yin Shu? As far as I know, they really need these furs."
The old village chief put the bowl in his hand on the ground and smoked the cigarette in his hand, his old face was very sad: "Yin Shu..."
Of course, he has heard of such a famous business name, but, how can such a high-end place like them value such vulgar things here
The old village chief sighed, frowning: "We can't even enter the gate, hey, forget it, selling furs can't support a family, and it's only a few tens of pennies, so it's better to keep it at home as a mattress and quilt to keep out the cold Woolen cloth."
The village head paused for a moment, as if he felt that it was inappropriate to tell Su Ying about this, and said with a smile: "Look at me, talk about these useless things, girl, don't worry, everyone in our village has come here like this."
Having said that, Su Ying could still see the faint expectation on his face.
Su Ying pondered slightly: "If the village chief can trust me, I can help."
The old village chief was taken aback for a moment, seeing Su Ying and Ye Feibai's exquisite clothes, he knew that they came from a rich family, maybe there is a way
They are used to suffering, but looking at Niu Niu who is eating so happily beside him, there is a trace of worry in their eyes: Are these children going to suffer like them for the rest of their lives
The village head hurriedly said: "I can trust you, it would be great if the girl is willing to help."
Su Ying smiled: "By chance, I met one of Yin Shu's stewards, Nanny Li, who is in charge of purchasing. I have some friendship with her. I will give her a letter of divorce to explain the situation. When you arrive When you take the letter, she will definitely accept the fur, and the price is absolutely fair."
"But these furs can't be sold at a high price..." The old village chief was a little worried in his words, as if he was afraid of losing Yinshu.
Su Ying smiled: "Old village chief, you must have missed your mark. These furs are worth money. Take this piece of fox fur sewn into a mattress as an example, at least it is worth ten taels."
These twelve, Su Ying still talked less.
"What? Ten taels?" The old village chief was so startled that he almost knocked over his favorite cigarette.
"Twelve taels?" The mother-in-law who was busy in the kitchen happened to bring out a pot of fresh boiled corn at this time.
The old village chief excitedly said to Grandma Chen: "Just now the girl said that the fox fur used as a mattress is worth twelve taels!"
Grandma Chen smiled: "The old village head, do you believe the girl's joke?"
After hearing what Grandma Chen said, the old village chief looked at Su Ying suspiciously.
A trace of helplessness flashed in Su Ying's eyes: "Old village chief, Grandma Chen, I'm not lying, your furs are indeed valuable, and Yin Shu will indeed take them. If you don't believe me, you will find out when you send someone there tomorrow." know."
Su Ying was so confident in her words that she almost said that she was Yin Shu's big boss behind the scenes.
Who doesn't know Yin Shu, who doesn't know? It has always been very fair, if the fur can really be sold to them, the price will definitely be fair.
If these furs are really as valuable as the girl in front of him said, then there will be a lot of money in the days to come.
The old village head seemed to see infinite hope, shaking his hands and said: "Is this... all true?"
"That's natural. If it's good, I think Nanny Li will establish a long-term cooperation with you, and your life will be improved." Su Ying continued to add.
The village chief immediately said excitedly: "Grandma Chen, do you have a pen and paper? Quickly, bring a pen and paper."
Grandma Chen was in a daze when she heard Su Ying's words. She was pushed by the old village head, and then she seemed to wake up. She answered and hurriedly borrowed a pen and paper from the next door, "Is this really possible?"
Su Ying took it, unfolded the paper, and dipped the ink with a brush. She wrote a short letter with a few strokes, sealed it with wax, and handed it to the old village chief: "When the time comes, you will take this letter to the old village chief. , let’s say it was introduced by Second Miss Su.”
