Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 260 Delivering Goods to the County

Da Niu and the other two carried the wooden box together and walked towards the carriage and horse station on the main street.

An Yue walked towards the school. An Yue and her group of people were preparing to take a mule cart to the county town.

Because there were so many people and a large box, An Yue specially rented a double mule cart.

On the way to the county town, they looked at the crops in the fields on both sides of the road, most of which had dried up into straw.

Everyone couldn't help but think of what Gu Mingchuan said last night. They all fell into deep thought, like defeated roosters, dejected.

An Yue sat on the mule cart, closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and prayed silently in her heart: [God bless, please let it rain soon and end this drought as soon as possible! ]

Along the way, everyone was in a low mood and no one spoke.

The mule cart swayed for nearly half an hour before finally arriving at the county town.

At this time, it was already Chen time.

The morning light hung in the east, and the heat wave that followed rolled in.

An Yue discussed with the coachman and asked him to take her all the way to Yunyan Pavilion.

Soon, the mule cart arrived outside the Xiangxiang Pavilion shop.

The Xiangxiang Pavilion shop was already open at this time. The woman standing in front of the counter yawned, opened her eyes and saw that it was An Yue. She hurried forward to greet her.

The woman waved her fan, walked towards An Yue with a smile, and greeted, "The girl is here!"

"Yes! Good morning, Madam Shopkeeper!" An Yue jumped off the mule cart and asked the driver to wait here.

"Young Master, Chunzhi, you guys wait here first, we'll be back soon."

Chunzhi nodded to Anyue.

Afterwards, An Yue led Daniu and A'er to carry the big box into the Xiangxiang Pavilion shop.

An Yue approached the woman and went straight to the point, "Madam shopkeeper, this time I've brought you sixty cans of floral water and twenty small honey jars." As An Yue spoke, she followed the woman into the shop.

The woman heard An Yue say that there were sixty jars of floral water and twenty small honey jars.

He raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "Oh, very good, very good, now we finally have the goods."

After the woman finished speaking, she quickly asked An Yue to sit down: "Miss, come on, sit down and have a cup of tea!"

An Yue sat down slowly and said, "Madam Shopkeeper, these small honey jars are wild honey. I'm afraid there won't be many left. I'm letting you know in advance to avoid causing you unnecessary trouble."

An Yue told people in advance to avoid catching them off guard by suddenly telling them that the product was out of stock.

"Okay, okay, okay. Wild honey is rare. I know that. If it's really out of stock, there's nothing we can do about it."

Daniu and Ale had already opened the wooden box and took out sixty cans of floral water and twenty small honey jars, and placed them on the table at the counter.

Then, An Yue turned to the woman and said with a smile, "Madam, please take a look and count them."

Everyone in this line of work has a sharp eye. She could tell roughly how much the number was with just a glance.

The woman waved her fan and smiled at An Yue flatteringly, "I'm confident in your work, young lady."

After saying this, she started counting on the abacus.

After doing the abacus, he counted the silver and money from the counter drawer and handed it to An Yue.

An Yue took the money, bowed to the woman and said, "Thank you, Madam Shopkeeper."

"Don't be polite, young lady. Sit down and have some tea."

An Yue declined politely, "Madam Shopkeeper, we are here in the county today and our schedule is really tight, so we can't stay. We will take our leave now."

"Okay, okay, miss, you are busy with work, so I won't keep you here. Goodbye, miss." The woman said with a smile and waved her hand.

Da Niu and A'er lifted the wooden box back onto the mule cart. Everyone got on the mule cart, and the driver continued to move forward with the double mule cart.

After turning two corners, we arrived at the shop of the chief clerk's wife, Gu Qinglian, called 'Yunyan Pavilion'.

An Yue asked A'er and Daniu to carry the wooden box into the shop.

After Gu Mingchuan jumped off the mule cart, he said a brief goodbye to An Yue, then turned around and walked towards the Zhao Mansion.

Chunzhi unloaded all the backpacks and baskets from the mule cart. Chunzhi stood on the side of the street and found a shady place to sit and wait for An Yue.

An Yue then walked into the shop. A shopkeeper came up to An Yue and said respectfully with a smile, "Miss An Yue, you are here!"

An Yue responded: "Good morning, shopkeeper."

An Yue raised her hand and pointed at the wooden box, saying, "Shopkeeper, forty bottles of floral water and twenty small honey jars were delivered to Yun Yan Pavilion today. The same number was also delivered to Madam's other shop."

The woman nodded and said, "Okay, girl."

Daniu and A'er quickly took out all the things from the box. After the shopkeeper personally counted the number, he prepared to settle the bill with An Yue.

"Miss, may I ask how much is the bottle of toilet water you sent me?"

Hearing the woman asking her the price, An Yue was completely stunned.

"Shopkeeper, didn't the lady tell you?"

The woman smiled and said respectfully, "Miss, Madam has told me to do everything according to you. I will buy it according to your price."

After hearing the woman's answer again, An Yue was almost shattered.

She thought to herself: [What does Gu Qinglian mean by this? Aren’t you afraid that I will ask for too much? ]

An Yue brushed her hair by her ear and said awkwardly, "Now that the shopkeeper has said that, it makes me feel a little embarrassed."

The woman held the account book in her hand and said kindly, "Don't be embarrassed, young lady, just speak up."

An Yue carefully recalled her last conversation with Gu Qinglian.

I vaguely remember my wife saying something like this: "Replace the clay pots with exquisite bottles and the price will double."

Each garlic bottle costs twenty cents, and each bottle contains more than enough floral water.

The secret recipe has also been upgraded by adding a large amount of fresh gardenia and lemongrass, as well as various cost accounting.

An Yue didn't think about doubling her profit. If she did business based on conscience, it would be good enough to get half the profit.

So, An Yue decided to sell it for ninety cents a bottle.

An Yue said to the woman, "Since the wife of the chief clerk is not afraid, then I won't be polite either."

The woman smiled and said, "Please speak, young lady."

"These floral waters are upgraded versions with a light gardenia scent."

"How about ninety cents a bottle?" An Yue asked tentatively.

"Okay, whatever the girl says, that's it." After the woman said that, she started dialing the abacus on the counter.

Seeing the woman like this, An Yue didn't bother herself anymore.

The woman counted the silver and money and handed it to An Yue.

An Yue took the silver and exchanged a few polite words with the woman. Then An Yue led A'er and Daniu, carrying the boxes, out of Yunyan Pavilion.

An Yue walked up to Chunzhi, and the two of them, carrying backpacks and baskets, prepared to go to another shop of the chief clerk's wife.

The other shop is not far from Yunyan Pavilion, on the same street.

Soon, the four of them arrived at the door of a shop called Yuyantang.

An Yue signaled to Daniu Ale and the others to wait outside, and she went in first to see the situation.

After entering the shop, An Yue explained her purpose to the shopkeeper.
