The butler cupped his hands and said politely: "Oh, that's a good feeling. If there are any good things coming in the future, please say hello to us first."
Ye Yutong smiled and greeted him, "You're welcome, this is what you should do. If there are rare items in the future, I will be the first to notify you."
After the shopkeeper left, several more people came one after another, all coming to order apples.
Two asked for twenty baskets, one asked for thirty baskets, and the one with the most asked for fifty baskets. I heard that the steward who asked for fifty baskets was the purchaser of Chen Shimei's house.
Ye Yutong cut another pear for them to taste. A few responsible stewards ordered several more baskets of pears on the spot.
Li Yunze priced a basket at thirty taels, because pears were larger than apples, and he could only hold five in a basket.
Finally, Ye Yutong also revealed to them that there were fresh chickens, ducks, geese, and various eggs on the road, and they could reach Qingzhou City in the next two days.
A steward who looked very shrewd asked tentatively: "The road is so messy now, two brothers, I wonder how you transported the things here?"
Ye Yutong laughed and said in a pretentious manner: "Our boss has connections in the capital, and all of his brothers are highly skilled in martial arts, but they have no abilities at all. How dare you transport these rare things in such an age?"
Several people had their own thoughts after hearing this.
The steward of Chen Shimei's family asked with a smile: "Brothers, how many poultry are there this time? Our old lady is celebrating her fiftieth birthday in a few days and needs dozens of chickens and ducks. Do you think you can help save some? ?" The tone was much more polite than before.
Ye Yutong looked a little embarrassed. He thought about it for a while and then said: "These rare foods are in short supply everywhere now. We brothers don't know how much we can deliver this time."
Seeing some disappointment on their faces, he smiled and said: "Brothers, don't worry, I can't guarantee anything else. As long as the rare items are shipped to Qingzhou City, I will definitely keep a close eye on these brothers first, and then there will be people waiting for them." , here I have to rank behind my brothers."
After hearing this, several stewards felt very comfortable.
Chen Shimei's steward said: "Little brother, since you think so highly of our brothers, we are not unloyal people.
If you have any good things in the future, feel free to send them to the house. The young masters, ladies, and ladies in our house like these rare delicacies the most, and I will definitely not treat you badly when the time comes. "
Ye Yutong's face looked like a good brother, but he didn't care in his heart. When dealing with such a person, 30% of it is true and 70% of it is false. Who would take the polite words seriously?
In the evening, Li Yunze and Ye Yutong drove a carriage to deliver goods to several families.
After the goods were counted and the money was collected, Ye Yutong gave each steward a small fruit basket containing two apples and two pears.
Seeing how generous they were, everyone's smiles became more sincere.
"Brothers, if the goods arrive, don't forget to notify us."
"Brothers, don't worry, we got the news this afternoon and our team will arrive in Qingzhou City soon.
When the time comes, I will bring the samples over and let my brothers check them out. If my family needs it, I can buy it. It doesn’t matter if I don’t need it. We will cooperate in the future. "
After saying goodbye to a few people. The two walked around the city twice more, shaking off their tails, before finding a hidden place and entering the space.
Ye Mingzhe was moving chickens, ducks and goose eggs out of the basement. There were more than 80 baskets in total. They were not put down in the small courtyard, and they were finally placed on the open space outside the door.
Li Yunze went to the mountain to catch the roosters, ducks, geese, and those that couldn't lay eggs, and prepared to sell them to those companies tomorrow.
"Sister, are you going well today?"
Ye Mingzhe knew that his sister and brother-in-law were going to trade with a wealthy family today, and he was very worried. He was a little absent-minded all day, fearing that his sister and brother-in-law would be targeted.
"It went very smoothly. We paid with one hand and delivered the goods with the other. But someone was following us when we came back. I wonder which house it is from?"
Ye Yutong told him without concealment that he would always have to deal with this kind of people in the future, so it would be better to let him know the dangers of the human heart as soon as possible.
Both she and Ping An thought it was nothing. Since they wanted to do business to make money, they would definitely encounter dangers from everyone.
If they take out such a rare thing, not to mention in times of famine and chaos, even in times of peace, people will keep an eye on them.
Ye Mingzhe was very worried about the situation of the two of them, and warned uneasily: "Sister, you must pay attention to your safety. I heard from my father before that those wealthy families are cruel, and there are some slaves who use their power to bully others, and they can pretend to be powerful."
Ye Yutong smiled and said: "Second brother, you don't have to worry. Ping An and I both know this and will be very careful."
After talking to Ye Mingzhe, she went to the basement again and looked at the food piled inside. She felt that Qingzhou City might not be able to digest all these things.
Most people are reluctant to buy these luxurious foods. If they have the money, they might as well buy grain.
Fruit is not enough to make you hungry or full, but it is not as economical as a pound of whole grains.
The backyard of Chen Mansion.
Wang Jiaoniang leaned on the soft couch, looked at the neatly arranged fruits on the plate, took a piece of it with a fork and put it in her mouth.
After chewing it twice, his eyes lit up, "What kind of fruit is this?"
A clever maid next to her stepped forward and said with a smile: "Second Madam, this fruit is called apple. The master knows that you have a bad appetite during this period, so he specially asked the housekeeper to find it."
"Humph, he has a conscience." Wang Jiaoniang said coquettishly.
As soon as she finished speaking, a middle-aged man's laughter came from outside the door, "My dear, are you arranging for me here again?"
Wang Jiaoniang turned her face inward, snorted, and said coquettishly: "You still know how to come, I thought you had forgotten me."
"My little darling, are you angry with the master?"
Chen Shimei held her weak and boneless body in her arms, and said in a nauseous voice: "Master, I can't see you for a while, and I feel bad for you. But you wronged me like this, let me touch your heart." Not here? Otherwise, how could you say such cruel words?"
Wang Jiaoniang was amused by his words. She turned around and hugged his neck, pouting her cherry lips and saying, "Humph, you are so glib. Do you think I don't know that you went to Aunt Mei's place yesterday?"
Chen Shimei laughed and said: "My little girl is jealous, come on, come on, don't be angry, I will pamper you well today."
Wang Jiaoniang's face turned red, she pinched his waist, and said with silky eyebrows: "Looking at your anxious look, Aunt Mei didn't serve you well last night?"
Chen Shimei had already taken off her shirt, and she still kept saying sweet words.
"If it weren't for her crying and asking the girl to call, I wouldn't be willing to go. How can she be as happy as my little girl?"
