Chapter 95 Overseas Timber Traders

In the evening, there was only a blush in the western sky, and the few people returned home happily.

"Third brother is happy today, you go back and ask your younger siblings and Jing Jie to come over for dinner. We two brothers have a drink!"

Shen Chengyao agreed with a smile, and went home to pick him up.He was also happy for his third brother, it was time to celebrate.

Xiao'er took out a few contracts, Liu looked at so many Bai contracts and wondered, "Why are there so many?"

"We bought four shops and one hundred acres of fertile land."

"Why buy so much! How much money would it cost? Didn't you mean buying a shop to open an iron shop?"

"Originally, I bought them all when I saw the right ones. I have an idea for these three shops, and I will tell you when I complete my idea." Xiao'er was excited when she thought of the three connected shops.The place is big enough, the land is good enough, and it is in the center of the town, so you can do whatever you want.It would be even better if it was in the county.

"Which shops did you buy?" The Liu family in the town is also familiar with it, and she will know as long as they talk about it.

Shen Chengyao told the location of several shops and the approximate location of the field.

"These shops and fields are good, but it only cost 900 taels, isn't it a bit cheaper?" Originally, they expected that the old groceries would cost 600 taels anyway.

So Shen Chengyao told what happened in the old grocery store.

"Xiao'er, who is that person? What can I do for you?"

"That's my junior sister. She was poisoned, and she knew that I had the medicine given by the master, so she asked me to help detoxify." So it was, and then Shen Chengyao and Liu Shi stopped asking. Xiao'er's master is so mysterious, Xiao'er My daughter didn't say much, maybe she couldn't. As their parents, they just knew it wouldn't harm their daughter, and they couldn't force her to speak clearly.

Mrs. Liu remembered what her elder brother asked someone to bring, and said: "By the way, my elder brother asked someone to bring a message this afternoon. There is a batch of high-quality timber. Let you take time to look at it in the county tomorrow."

The lumber shop is in need of high-quality wood, the more the better, they won't miss it, so they decided to go and have a look tomorrow.

At dinner in the evening, Mrs. Lu mentioned that Mrs. Shen Zhuang had been cursing in the room all day. It turned out that someone had stolen the pearl she had hidden under the tree before, causing her and Shen Yuzhu to cry and cry. Scolding, after a whole day of trouble, the old man got annoyed, and he scolded for a while before he stopped.

Originally, Shen Chengzu was thinking about his third brother buying a shop and a field. He was so happy that he asked his parents to have dinner together. After hearing about this, he didn’t dare. What if his mother came to ask the third brother how to get pearls Do, the big day is also mixed up.

"Mother, why did you hide the pearl outside under the tree?" Mrs. Liu didn't understand, it was hidden outside and was stolen, even if you knew who it was, they said they picked it up, you can't do anything to them! "

"Aren't you imprisoned before? Dad guessed that those pearls were stolen goods. Mother was afraid of being implicated, so she went to the river and threw them away. Later, she probably couldn't bear it and hid them under the tree!" Lu said inwardly. Shen Zhuang's approach is very contemptuous.

"This is really..." After hearing this, Mrs. Liu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"This is really something grandma would do." Xiao'er thought it was normal, Shen Zhuang's typical fear of death and greed for money!

"Jie'er is a grandma who regards money as important as her life. Now that such a precious bead is gone, I think she can scold for a long time before it stops. Fortunately, the bead is hidden under a tree outside!" Lu Mrs. Shen Zhuang's behavior of treating money like life is the least profound!
"That's right, if you hide it at home, you might suspect someone again!" Mrs. Liu nodded in agreement.

"I smell medicine on you, haven't you finished taking the medicine yet?" Mrs. Liu didn't want to mention these bad things, so she changed the subject.

"I've finished eating, Doctor Luo said, I haven't seen any effect yet." Thinking of this, Mrs. Lu was also lost.

"Is fourth aunt uncomfortable?" She also smelled the medicine.

"Your fourth aunt is recuperating."

Condition your body?Xiao'er understood right away that Jing Jie was so old, and the fourth aunt seemed to have lost her body when Jing Jie was born. At that time, Shen Zhuang couldn't bear to spend money to buy medicine for her to recuperate. Now that the family is separated, they want to have another child. At this time, people hope to have more children and more blessings.If so, she could help.Give the medicine to Mrs. Liu at night, and let Mrs. Liu find an excuse to give it to her.

Early the next morning, Xiao'er and Shen Chengyao arrived at the county seat.

Liu Minhong was very happy when he saw them coming, "I am looking forward to your coming, if you don't come again, I am worried that others will buy it!"

"Is the wood so good that uncle is so impatient."

"It's not all good wood. It's shipped from overseas. I went to see it twice. They are all good wood, but the asking price is high, and they refuse to lower it at all. Everyone is still waiting and waiting for him to lower the price. After all, he also You can’t let us not go home here, right?! He will lose a lot if he brings a large amount of wood back, so everyone is waiting for him to reduce the price. Or wait for him to sell separately.” He was really impatient and didn’t dare to deal with it. For carpenters, the most exciting thing is to meet good wood.

"He asked for a high price?"

"1000 taels of silver is not a lot of money!"

1000 taels, which is really a lot!

"Let's go and have a look first!" Xiao'er had to check the quality of the wood. If it was good, 1000 taels would be 1000 taels, and she could earn it back later.Also, this wood is really too expensive, she has to plant some on the grassland of the space.

A few people came to the door of a semi-old courtyard in the south of the city. Liu Minhong knocked on the door, "Is Mr. Singer there?"

"Coming!" A middle-aged man's voice came from inside, his pronunciation was stiff, slow, and out of tune.After a while, there was the sound of hurried footsteps, and the door opened, and a tall, dark-skinned man appeared in front of him.

"Ha, Lu, are you, you, you, you, come, buy, wood, wood,...?" Mr. Singer spoke very slowly, and he had to pause for each word before he could utter it, and his words were not very accurate.

"Hello, Mr. Singer, we want to take a look at that batch of wood." Liu Minhong
"Okay, all three, please come in." Singer led the three of them to the yard where the wood was placed.

"My wood is all high-quality wood, and I am absolutely not lying. You see, this pile is small-leaf red sandalwood, this pile is golden nanmu, and this pile is huanghuali. These two piles are cheaper, but the wood is good enough. The age is old enough, this is teak, this is beech. I will not sell them separately, you have to buy them all if you want to buy, no second price."

"You golden nanmu, lobular red sandalwood and the like, are you sure they are not adulterated?"

"Of course." These were all carefully selected by him, and they were shipped all the way after repeated confirmation. He planned to exchange for silver and ship several ships of tea, silk, and porcelain back.

"What if there is a fake one? If we find out that there is a fake one, can Mr. Singer give it to us at a lower price?"

"My goods are not fake. If you find any fake ones, I will sell them to you at half price." Singer believes that he has been soaking in wood for decades, and has suffered a lot. He has already practiced a pair. With piercing eyes, he is quite confident in his ability to identify wood.

"Okay, it's a deal." Although Xiao'er can't tell whether the wood is fake or not at a glance, Tianbai can!
