The more Master Bai thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was good, and said: "Just to see how the land in Yongzhou is. If the land near the capital is too difficult to buy, you can buy it in Yongzhou. It's not far anyway."
Upon hearing this, Bai Erlang immediately said, "We don't take a car, we ride a horse."
Master Bai glanced at him and said, "It's as if I don't know how to ride a horse."
After all, let the commander go down to prepare horses and luggage, and he can still consider staying for a few more days.
Bai Dalang on the side was all moved, and he simply got up and said, "I'm going too!"
So, not long after, Daji and others escorted the five horses and went out of the city. After leaving the city, everyone let the horses run and moved quickly towards Yongzhou.
It's not very far from Kuai Ma to Pu Village, and he arrived in Pu Village before noon. Before he arrived at the other courtyard, Man Bao and the others saw the car parked on the side of the road from a distance, and when they got excited, they let the horse let go He ran forward, stopped the horse when he reached the door, and jumped off the horse.
When Master Bai and Bai Dalang arrived after them, only Daji, who ran first with them, was waiting at the door with his horse.
Master Bai couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, "I'm too impatient."
Man Bao and the others have already rushed into the Zhuangzi, and everyone is in the main hall. They ran all the way there, and they were busy distributing things there. They were in a car in the old Zhou Tou, and they had just arrived not long ago, and their buttocks were not hot yet. Well, when I looked up and saw the three of Man Bao running in, I couldn't help being startled, "Why are you here?"
Man Bao happily called "Dad", then turned to look at Zhou Zhou Lang, seeing that he was not only darker, but also taller than before, she said "Hey", "Fourth brother, you will grow tall?"
Zhou Zhou Lang didn't expect her to pay attention to this, so he showed his teeth with a smile, and said cheerfully: "There is a lot of meat to eat on the grassland, so it grew a little bit, not only me, but Li Wei and Li Jun also grew up."
Man Bao immediately went to see Zhou Liwei and Zhou Lijun. Indeed, they were much taller than when they left.
Zhou Lixue and the others were all envious, and asked eagerly: "There is so much meat on the grassland, so you can eat as much as you want?"
Zhou Lijun: "What do you think? It's because they have a lot of meat. It's because they don't have much food. The average herdsman eats more millet and broth."
During this trip, Zhou Lijun gained a lot of knowledge and gained a lot, and Zhou Zhoulang also gained a lot.
He didn't care about the presents, and let the family members divide them up, while he sat outside with Man Bao and the others under the eaves to talk.
Old Zhou Tou warmly entertained Mr. Bai. We live under the same roof. His enthusiasm is naturally because he wants to show off proudly.
Master Bai was also very interested in what Zhou Zhoulang brought back, so he watched it with him.
Zhou Zhoulang and the others sat and talked under the eaves, and Man Bao asked them, "Is the trip safe?"
Zhou Zhou Lang said: "You have led the way to my brothers, and the journey has been smooth."
Only then did Man Bao remember, "By the way, where is Brother Xiang?"
Zhou Zhou Lang said: "Going to rest, 30% of the goods brought back this time belong to him, so he counted them."
Zhou Lijun showed Man Bao the list of goods they brought back this time, and Zhou Zhoulang still brought back a batch of medicinal materials and cattle this time.
He said, "Lijun said that you are a doctor, and our family also grows medicinal materials, so this medicinal material business is the best one to do. Even if the income is not high, it cannot be stopped."
Man Bao nodded, she thought so too.
"There are still cattle," Zhou Lang said: "We walked twice and found that cattle and sheep are the most abundant on the grassland. In the end, most of the cattle and sheep raised by them are sold to Zhongyuan, and then exchanged for grain. They are short of food, and we are short of food." Cattle, this business is the best to do on the grassland, and you can find it in any herdsman’s house, and if we want to go further, we can’t lose this business.”
In addition to medicinal materials and cattle, Zhou Zhoulang also bought a lot of leather goods this time, besides some pearls.
It's just not many, it says twenty.
Man Bao asked, "Are the pearls sold one by one?"
"That's right, one piece is not cheap. Lijun refused to spend more money, so I only bought 20 pieces." The rest of the money basically went into medicinal materials, cattle, and leather goods, especially medicinal materials and cattle. Seventy percent of the money was spent on these two items.
She said: "Fur goods and pearls should not be eaten or drunk. The premium is too high. When you make a profit, you earn a lot, and when you lose a lot, you also lose a lot. They are no more valuable than medicinal materials and cattle and sheep. Unless the cattle and sheep are dead, or the medicinal materials are damp, otherwise There will be no loss."
Man Bao nodded again and again, "Business is about stability."
She turned her head to Zhou Lizhong and Zhou Liwei who were squatting beside her and said, "You will also be like Li Jun in the future, watch out for the fourth brother, and don't let him mess around."
Zhou Zhoulang: "... Am I that kind of person?"
Everyone: "You are!"
Thursday Lang: ...
Bai Erlang thought of something, and asked Zhou Zhoulang, "Brother Zhou, did you secretly buy pearls yourself?"
Zhou Zhoulang: "How do you know?"
"I guessed it, take it out and have a look, if it looks good, I'll buy it with you."
Zhou Zhoulang said: "What do you buy the things that the little girl uses?"
Bai Shan and Man Bao also looked at him.
Bai Erlang said: "Isn't Man Bao's birthday coming soon?"
Man Bao: "It's not coming soon, there are still three months."
Bai Shan: "Her birthday doesn't require you to give pearls, right?"
Zhou Zhoulang also looked at him suspiciously, and said earnestly, "Second Young Master, my Manbao is not only your senior sister, but also your sister-in-law..."
"Fourth Brother," Bai Shan quickly interrupted him, "Er Lang is also engaged."
"Huh? So fast, which girl?"
Zhou Lijun and others also looked at Bai Erlang with great interest.
Man Bao said: "The emperor's family."
"It's from the emperor's house? Well... what?" Zhou Zhoulang couldn't help but sat up straight, stared at Bai Erlang with wide eyes, then looked back at Man Bao and Bai Shan, "The emperor's house? Isn't that... isn't it a princess? ?”
"It's the princess," Man Bao said, "Princess Mingda!"
Zhou Zhoulang and others, who didn't know it yet, looked at Bai Erlang in amazement, and it was hard to imagine that he had become a son-in-law.
Zhou Zhou Lang immediately cheered up, and said: "You want to give Princess Mingda a birthday gift, the pearls are indeed good things, the little girl's jewelry is not too luxurious, pearls are the best..."
Man Bao said quietly: "Mingda's birthday will be next spring, longer than mine."
Zhou Zhou Lang immediately changed his mind and said: "Then it can be a farewell gift, isn't the Mid-Autumn Festival coming soon? The Mid-Autumn Festival is a gift for beauties, pearls are also very useful, and there are good furs. It is going to be cold this day. At that time, I will definitely make fox fur, I have a few particularly good fox fur, I will show you later?"
Man Bao and Bai Shan couldn't help but looked up at the big sun in the sky, feeling the heat in the air again, then turned their heads to look at Zhou Zhoulang silently.
Bai Erlang also said: "It's just autumn."
Zhou Zhoulang: "Autumn is here, can winter be far behind? It will be cold in two months, otherwise why do you think we are rushing back to Beijing at this time? It is because the weather is getting colder and furs are about to start selling."
