Su Tang originally thought that this family was kneeling down for him, but he didn't expect that they actually said that they would sell themselves together. When Su Tang heard this, he glanced at Hu Sulan who was kneeling next to his mother.
The little girl is ten years old like Su Tang, and is two months younger than Su Tang. Because her family is poor, she is a little skinny, and her clothes are patched with patches, but she is very clean.
Who would be willing to sell themselves into slavery if they could live a good life? Hu Daniu's eyes were also red, but he had already made up his mind, "Miss Su, our family can all work. If you buy us, we will definitely work for you loyally in the future." I will repay you like a cow!"
While talking, they kowtowed again. The four members of the family knocked their heads on the ground. Not to mention how Su Tang was doing, Su Nuo's eyes turned red when she saw them like this. She pulled Su Tang and said, "Sister!"
Seeing her brother like this, Su Tang sighed in her heart. She was still a child after all. She couldn't bear it when she saw this scene. She shook her head at Su Nuo. Seeing her sister like this, Su Nuo pursed her lips and didn't dare to speak.
"Don't be too busy. What ingredients did you bring for Huang Xing and how much money did you need? I remember it well. You also have an acre of thin farmland at home, so it should be worth some money."
Su Tang was not in a hurry to answer, but asked a question first. So Huang Xing opened a restaurant. Even if he needed ingredients, how much money would the ingredients delivered by Hu Daniu be worth? Is it worth the whole family selling themselves to raise enough money
You must know that although the Hu family lives in poverty, they have land. Although they only have one acre of thin land, they can sell it for four taels of silver, which is a lot of money for ordinary farmers.
When Hu Daniu heard Su Tang ask this, he said, "It's not enough even if I sell it. The difference is dozens of taels!"
Su Tang's eyes widened in surprise, "Dozens of taels, what ingredients are you transporting?"
Although Huang Xing's Fuxing House is the most luxurious restaurant in Qinghe Town, with bustling business, the market in Qinghe Town is only so big. It is Hu Daniu's body that can carry the ingredients worth dozens of taels. Fuxing House is so big. Consume capacity
At this time, Hu Daniu did not hide anything from Su Tang, and explained clearly, "What kind of fish was transported from Qingzhuo County? Yes, it's abalone!"
"Are you sure?" Su Tang felt even more confused when she heard Hu Daniu say it was abalone.
Although it was relatively backward at this time, seafood already had special preservation methods. Expensive seafood such as sea cucumbers and abalone were basically made into dry goods at the seaside and then transported to the inland for sale, because they were easy to preserve.
And this method is not just someone who thought of it, but it has already been popularized. The only place close to Qinghe Town that is close to the sea is Qingzhuo County. It takes nearly three days to get from the county seat of Qingzhuo County to Qinghe Town by horse-drawn carriage. Hurry up. Just two and a half days like this.
For such a distance, it is not suitable to use ice to transport fresh abalone. Although the taste of dried abalone will be a little worse, the cost is much lower and can be kept for a longer time. They are all doing business, so this is the way to control costs. Woolen cloth.
Huang Xing asked a group of people to transport abalone frozen in ice cubes all the way. The transportation cost is naturally very expensive, and after the abalone arrives, it must be cooked and eaten as soon as possible, otherwise it will not be fresh.
But someone came to Qinghe Town and wanted to eat so much abalone and seafood. Su Tang tapped his fingers lightly on the table. This was obviously wrong.
"Have you seen what you are transporting? What does it look like?" Su Tang asked Hu Daniu again.
Hu Daniu then said, "I saw a few people outside who had made up..."
