Running with the ball in the lean years, the evil mother-in-law and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 23 Buying a Bullock Cart

In the afternoon, Bai Taotao slept for more than an hour. She woke up just after the sun went down. If she didn't have to go out to do errands at night, she could probably sleep until dawn the next day.

After waking up, Bai Taotao packed up, caught the bullock cart and went out.

When the grain business makes more money, or becomes more stable, she will buy a bullock cart herself, so that it can be used at any time.

Now that I have the money in my hands, I need to repurchase my business. Secondly, my business has just started and I don’t know what will happen later, so I can’t buy the bullock cart too early.

So I temporarily rented Chen Dekuan's ox cart for the past few days.

It was still the same time and the same place. When Bai Taotao arrived, he checked first and made sure the surroundings were safe before starting to dump food from the trading mall.

Yesterday, I made an agreement with Shopkeeper Fan for 10,000 kilograms of refined grains. The price at the fine grain mall is five cents per catty, and ten thousand kilograms is fifty taels. Bai Taotao just made some money yesterday and has just over fifty taels of silver in his hand. .

After today's hesitation, I only have a little more than two taels of silver left in my hand. I just hope that today I can continue to trade smoothly and successfully.

At that time, I will get one hundred and thirty taels, and the net profit will be eighty taels.

You have to sell refined grains!
This one makes a lot of money, but the risk is also high! The main thing happened to be that I only had so much money on hand.

Once she failed, she would go back to before liberation.

Not long after, Bai Taotao saw a carriage coming towards the ruined temple, and this time it was Shopkeeper Fan himself.

When shopkeeper Fan came over, he inspected the goods directly and paid the money without any courtesy. The money and goods were cleared.

"When will the next transaction be?" Shopkeeper Fan asked expectantly.

Bai Taotao thought for a while and replied in a voice modified by a voice changer: "Two days later, it will still be the same, but the time has been changed to Yinshi 4. Twenty thousand catties of fine grains and ten thousand catties of refined grains."

After two transactions, Bai Taotao knew that as long as shopkeeper Fan wanted to make money, he would cherish their cooperation and not destroy it. So it doesn't matter if the transaction volume gradually becomes slightly larger.

However, if the quantity is large, the interval must be longer.

Try it out in the first month to see how much you can put out, and then it depends on the situation.

After agreeing on a time again, Bai Taotao turned and left.

In the next two days, she no longer needs to go out to do business at night, so she only needs to deliver goods to the noodle stall in the morning.

After delivering the goods, I buy the goods, then go home, pack up, process, take a nap, eat dinner, sleep, and continue delivering goods the next day, and the cycle continues.

However, when Mrs. Chen Wang and Mrs. Chen Lin came to clean up the pig water for her, she was reading medical books.

Some of the medical books were borrowed from Dr. Zheng, and some were bought in the mall.

The medical books she bought were all in the style of the medical books at this time. When the time comes, she can take out the medical books as a cover if she needs to deal with special situations.

She had already made up an excuse, just saying that she met an old traveling doctor and he gave it to her.

In this way, she can use her medical skills openly and honestly.

When it came to the transaction two days later, Baitaotao went to the agreed time and the transaction was successful.

Twenty thousand kilograms of fine grains were sold at the mall for two cents per kilogram. The black market charged her four kilograms per kilogram, and the twenty thousand kilograms were resold for a net profit of forty taels!

The net profit from fine grain is eighty taels.

The net profit was one hundred and twenty taels! !
In just a few days, the amount of money in Bai Taotao's hand suddenly increased to more than two hundred taels.

Including what I earned from selling braised meat in the past few days, I have a total of two hundred and fifty-seven taels of money in hand!
There is no need to calculate the scattered money. Those who use it for living expenses should save the whole money first. With the money, it was time for Bai Taotao to buy a bullock cart.

On the second day, Bai Taotao took Chen Dekuan's ox cart to the county and after delivering the goods, she said to Chen Dekuan: "Uncle Dekuan, if you are okay, go back first! Don't worry about me, I will go to the county office to handle the matter later." Get the approval, and then go buy an ox cart, and then I will drive the ox cart back to the village."

(PS: To purchase cattle and horses in the North, you need to obtain official approval before entering the market to purchase cattle or horses.)
When Chen Dekuan heard this, although he lost a stable customer base in the future, he was still very happy for Bai Taotao, and said: "It seems that your business is doing well, you should have made money, and you have to buy a bullock cart by yourself. Congratulations!"

Bai Taotao replied with a smile: "Although I am making some hard money, it is always more convenient to have my own ox cart."

Chen Dekuan nodded: "That's true, then you should pay attention to yourself, I will go back first."

Bai Taotao: "Yeah."

Watching Chen Dekuan leave, Boss Zhu smiled and said: "You should have bought an ox cart by yourself a long time ago. It's so convenient to have your own ox cart for delivery. You don't have to ask anyone to use it whenever you want. Although they give money for renting their ox cart, if you encounter If people who are jealous of your business won’t rent it to you, then you’ll have to pick it out yourself.”

Bai Taotao: "I didn't have any money in my hand before. Now I have earned some money and borrowed some from my parents' family. Now I can buy a bullock cart by myself."

Boss Zhu: "Then do you have enough money? If not, I will get you some first, and I will deduct it from the payment later."

When Bai Taotao heard this, she showed a standard smile with eight big white teeth and said: "That's enough, that's enough. Thank you, Boss Zhu, for your kindness. Then I'll go get the approval to buy a bullock cart first."

Boss Zhu waved his hand: "Go ahead, go ahead."

Leaving the noodle stall, Baitaotao walked directly to the county government office.

I applied for the approval document at the county government office and was about to leave when I happened to meet the county magistrate.

"A civilian woman has met Mr. Shen!" Bai Taotao saluted.

"Madam Chen, please excuse me." Shen Zheng raised his hand to signal Bai Taotao to get up. He happened to see the approval document in her hand and asked, "Madam Chen, are you planning to buy an ox-cart or a horse-drawn carriage?"

Bai Taotao said with a smile: "Master Shen has praised the women of the people. How can the women of the people buy a carriage? Buying an ox-cart is considered a good thing."

Shen Zheng: "At least you are much better than other people in the village. Being able to afford a bullock cart also shows that you have survived your life now, which is good."

At first, Shen Zheng was worried that it would be difficult for Bai Taotao to live alone with a big belly.

But now it seems that he underestimates this lady of the Chen family.

The fact that she had the courage to come and say those words to him alone last time proved that she was not someone who would give up easily.

If she goes out to live alone, she will have to get through those difficult days sooner or later.

But I didn’t expect it to be so fast!
Recalling Mrs. Chen's suggestion last time, Shen Zheng hurriedly said: "By the way, there is something I would like to discuss in detail with Mrs. Chen. I would like to ask Mrs. Chen if she can lend me a moment to speak."

Bai Taotao knew that Lord Shen was probably going to talk about what he proposed last time, so he put away the approval document temporarily, and then went to the side hall with Shen Zheng.

As soon as he arrived at the side hall, Shen Zheng got to the point directly.

"The approval came down two days ago, which is the new rules for recruiting troops. Someone made some suggestions to Beijing first, so it came down so quickly. Later, I asked the internal official who sent the approval and heard that it was I handed over the note written by the King of Zhennan. I would like to ask, does the lady of the Chen family know the King of Zhennan?"

Baitaotao told the truth: "Master Shen really praised the women of the people. How can a commoner like a woman recognize the King of Zhennan?"

Shen Zheng looked confused when he heard this: "That's strange. What King Zhennan proposed is the same as what Mrs. Chen proposed. You two..."

When Bai Taotao heard this, she began to guess vaguely.
