This time, the merchants in the Western Regions did not dare to ask the price again, "One tael of silver, what do you think of the silver? I bought all these seeds at a high price, and they are basically seeds that Nanchen did not have. You will definitely not buy them back." What a loss!"

Ning Changrong rubbed his chin with his right hand, casually rummaged through his pile of seeds, as if he was a bit reluctant, "Okay, a tael of silver is just a tael of silver, but you have to deal with the caravan in the event of a war in detail." tell me again."

After finally opening the business, I just told the other party about his previous encounters. Western Region businessmen naturally would not refuse.

Repeatedly said: "Okay, okay, no problem." After speaking, he told him what happened when he came.

While the other party was listening, Ning Changrong was analyzing in his head.

According to this Western Region businessman, what he encountered should be the team sent by the imperial court to wipe out the rebel bandits. It was his bad luck that the two sides were at war.

They didn't have time to protect their truckload of goods, so they could only carry some convenient goods with them, thinking about running around.

Those other Western Regions people who ran slowly had already been strangled into the battlefield and hacked to death.

According to the distance, the thieves closest to them are already around Taizhou Prefecture!
Fortunately, it is only a small group of people, and the imperial army should last for a while.

After hearing the news, Ning Changrong gave the other party two taels of silver, and bought all the other seeds on his booth by the way.

These seeds were all unique to the Western Regions, and it was hard to come across them. He was able to buy all the seeds from the Western Regions at such a cheap price while the other party was in a hurry to ask for money.

……

Li Dafeng's natal family planted the second round of Chinese cabbage, and they made some money.Although there is no shortage of food now, no one thinks there is too much money, and they got another profitable job from Li Dafeng.

After discussing with Ning Changrong, Ning Qingxi continued to ask the Li family to help them collect saltpeter.Of course, the price is definitely not as high as before, but it is still possible for the Li family to earn fifteen Wen a day.

Although they didn't know what the Ning family did for collecting saltpeter, since they had money to make, they didn't have to ask the bottom line.

After the family harvested the grain in the field, they went to the mountain to dig saltpeter, finally settled the bill, and borrowed a donkey cart from someone in the village who had a donkey cart.

With the addition of the donkey cart, although there was an extra sum of money for renting the donkey cart, they were able to pull more saltpeter across the road. Originally, they could earn fifteen yuan a day, but with the addition of the donkey cart, they could earn at least twenty yuan!

This is a big income in the farm family.

The people in Lijia Village didn't know what their family was doing, and some people followed them secretly, and found that the family was digging rocks on the mountain, and they also dug the rocks into their homes.

"Father, that's enough, the donkey won't be able to pull any more." Brother Li saw that the donkey cart couldn't even fit, and said hastily.

Father Li straightened up and wiped the sweat from his brow, "Then you go with the donkey cart first. Your brothers and I will dig some more."

Brother Li drove the donkey cart towards Xiayuan Village. According to Ning Qingxi's request, he didn't take the saltpeter from the donkey cart to Ning's house, but put it directly at the foot of the village entrance of Xiayuan Village.

It's just a pile of worthless stones, and other people don't know what's the use of them. Ning Qingxi is not worried that someone will steal them.

Put it at the foot of the mountain so that they can meet the mountain when the time comes.

Of course, there is more than one way up the mountain, but that one is smoother.

Brother Li dumped the saltpetre in the donkey cart, took the copper plate and drove back in the donkey cart.

When there was no one at night, Ning Changrong would take the two brothers of the Ning family to secretly transport the saltpeter to the ox cart and slowly transport it up the mountain.

The mountain road is not easy to walk, and there is a distance that bullock carts cannot pass at all.In the end, the ox cart was unloaded, and the stones were directly put on the ox in sacks. The three of them also carried a lot on their backs, and then they slowly transported them to the entrance of the cave in the middle of the mountain.

The chili seeds that Ning Changrong bought were planted directly behind the mountain, and the other seeds were not known yet, so they did not move.

……

Except that Wang Xiujuan asked her to wash her hands and cut her nails frequently at the beginning, which made her a little uncomfortable. Since she came to the cold drink shop in the county, Lai's life has been like a fish in water, and she is extremely at ease.

Just as he was sending off a guest with a smile, he saw Ning Changrong.

Hastily walked over, enthusiastically said: "Evergreen is here."

Ning Changrong would drag the taro balls made by Li Dafeng and Fang Chunmei to the county every seven days.

Seeing Mrs. Lai coming to help, he didn't stop him. He helped unload the goods from the car to the back of the shop, trying not to disturb the diners in front.

Speaking of which, shopkeeper Lin of Shiquan Inn knew that after Ning Changrong and the others sold taro balls, he bought a lot of goods from Ning Changrong and put them in his shop for sale.

Although he doesn't have ice cubes, he can also make other sweet waters, and he doesn't lack fruits. Those guests will order a bowl of taro balls to take away after eating.

After Ning Changrong unloaded the goods on the car, he went to the Shiquan Inn again, and sent a small bucket of taro balls there. Shopkeeper Lin did not have such a luxury as them, and could use ice to keep fresh, so he usually came to pick it up once every three days.

If they were too busy there, they would ask Mrs. Lai to deliver it. Ning Changrong thought that he was fine, so he delivered the things first.

"Shopkeeper Lin, how is business doing recently?"

Shopkeeper Lin looked worried, "The business has not been very good recently, but it can still continue."

Ning Changrong's heart skipped a beat, "Shopkeeper Lin, have you heard any news? It's outside."

Shopkeeper Lin saw that Ning Changrong seemed to be pointing at something, and his expression changed, "I haven't heard anything?"

The situation in the north is now known to anyone in their county who has some news.But most people thought it was impossible for those people to call, and many people still trusted the officers and soldiers of the imperial court.

After all, Nanchen Jianguo has been in the country for more than 200 years, and it is not that there were no rebellions before, but it was not as serious as this time, but many people still took chances.

Ning Changrong chatted with shopkeeper Lin for a while, and left after a while.

He also wanted to go to the county captain's butler, Feng Guanshi, and ask him if he knew anything inside.Who knew that when he was looking for it, it cost a penny to ask someone to inform him, and in the end he couldn't even see anyone.

What the concierge said was that Housekeeper Feng didn't know Ning Changrong.

Ning Changrong left with a wry smile on his face.

That's right, the other party gave him news of the locust plague before, which can be regarded as returning the favor of the pastry recipe of ten taels of silver.

It's normal to ignore.

Ning Changrong rubbed his face to cheer himself up and went back to the cold drink shop.

"Mom, how's business going?"

While busy with the work at hand, Wang Xiujuan replied, "It's okay, but it always feels like the business is not as good as it was a while ago. I don't know if the people in this county are getting tired of eating."

Ning Changrong was chatting with Wang Xiujuan about the past few days.

It will be a month in a few days, and the person will be picked up at that time.To save him and his daughter from worrying all day long.For the job in the store, he had already dragged the dentist to help him find a suitable candidate.
