Xiao Ming bought most of the seafood in the store, and the shopkeeper squinted his little eyes happily, smiled so hard that his teeth couldn't see his eyes, and greeted Xiao Ming affectionately, almost making Xiao Ming look like his own mother-in-law.
After buying too much, Xiao Ming discovered a new problem.
"Girl, how can we pull back so many people." Apparently, the dumb Li'er also discovered this important issue.
Xiao Ming~~~
She was so excited about the purchase that she completely forgot that this was in ancient times when transportation was underdeveloped. It took two days to transport so much fresh seafood to Pingcheng, and there was no telling how many people would die during these two days.
This is hard to do.
She likes live seafood, but doesn't want dead things that are tied tightly.
Transportation is a big issue.
Chen Yuanze was overjoyed and was about to open his mouth to solve this troublesome matter for Xiao Ming. Unexpectedly, the enthusiastic shopkeeper spoke first: "Young lady is worried about transportation. This is a trivial matter. There is a Sihai escort agency in the city. We ask them to transport the aquatic products in our store from the south, and they have a dedicated transportation team, so we don’t have to worry about safety along the way.”
"Is there such a thing?" Xiao Ming was happy. She didn't expect that Jiang Sihai's Sihai Escort Agency branch would open here. It seems that she underestimated Jiang Sihai's ability. I'm afraid there are Sihai Escort agencies in the capital and big cities in the south. branch.
But she was wondering why Jiang Sihai would set up his head office in the small Pingcheng because he was so capable and had escort agencies all over the dynasty.
Chen Yuanze was overtaken and glanced at the talkative shopkeeper.
"No, all the foreign goods in Hechun City are escorted by Sihai Escort to ensure everything is safe." The shopkeeper smiled and vouched for Sihai Escort. The ability of Sihai Escort is guaranteed, both black and white. With friendship, all goods going north and south are escorted by Sihai Escorts, which is safe and labor-saving. They don't need to send people to guard them personally.
Li'er tilted her head and thought for a while. She vaguely heard Yi's mother and Aunt Song discussing Jiang Xiangyuan's Sihai escort agency, "Girl, is it sister Xiangyuan's escort agency?"
"Yeah." Xiao Ming nodded.
"It turns out that the girl knows Sihai Escort Agency, so this will be easier to handle." The shopkeeper laughed, his eyes narrowed with laughter, and this big business was concluded.
"Sister Xiao Ming, there is no need to find an escort agency. There are many escort agencies that are unsafe. I can just ask my family's carriage to deliver them." Chen Yuanze suggested that the goods Xiao Ming bought can be pulled by his family's carriage, which will ensure everything is safe. .
Xiao Ming shook her head and declined Chen Yuanze's kindness. For her, why should she owe favors to something that could be solved with money? Besides, it was not easy to owe favors to the Chen family.
Chen Yuanze was rejected by Xiao Ming, and he glanced at the fat shopkeeper with his lips pursed and dissatisfied. He could only feel that the shopkeeper was smiling so proudly.
"Please ask the shopkeeper to contact Sihai Escort Company for us to help escort the goods." Xiao Ming said, asking the shopkeeper to help.
"That's easy to say, you're welcome, girl." Xiao Ming was a major customer, so her request was a trivial matter to the shopkeeper, so she readily agreed and immediately ordered a young boy to ask someone from the Sihai Escort Agency to come over.
"Girl, wait a moment. Sihai Escort Company will send someone over immediately to check the goods and calculate the money. After you pay a part of the deposit, you can set off; if there is any loss, they will compensate according to the price."
This efficiency is quite high, and there is also compensation. Is it like the freight insurance in the previous life? Unexpectedly, Jiang Sihai had such a business acumen. It was precisely because of his trust in his own abilities that he made the bold move to compensate.
Xiao Ming nodded. While waiting, Xiao Ming made an excuse to check the goods, pretending to take out the prawns from the basin to look at them, and quickly put some free water in them. In this way, he put some water in each basin of live seafood in turn. She added some space water to ensure that the seafood would not die during transportation. She did not like to eat dead seafood.
The efficiency of Sihai Escort Agency is indeed very high, but within a short while, the young man led two people over, one was a young and strong middle-aged man; the other was slightly older, with a mustache, holding paper, pen, and a small Abacus, etc., like a Mr. Accountant. After the two carefully inspected the goods, the older man recorded the goods carefully in the accounting book, and quickly calculated with an abacus. After a while, he raised his head. Come.
"Girl, the goods this time are many and aquatic products, so it is inconvenient to transport them. Although it requires a lot of manpower, carriages and horses, it will cost eighty taels of silver for one trip." The distance is not far, but it is troublesome to transport. There is a lot of cargo, even though it requires three carriages.
"Eighty taels?" Li'er shouted, feeling extremely distressed. As stupid as she was, she knew how much weight eighty taels could buy her.
"We and Sister Xiangyuan..."
"Li'er." Xiao Ming spoke up in time to stop Li'er, and then said to the people from the Sihai Escort Agency: "It's the price you said, but I have one request."
"Girl, please tell me."
"I want all these live seafood to arrive alive, is that okay?" Xiao Ming said. Looking at the two people from the Four Seas Escort Agency, she knew that this request was difficult.
"Don't worry, girl, the goods delivered by me, Lao Lin, can satisfy the customers every time." The young man said, his words were sonorous and his eyes were sharp. It seemed that he was the person in charge of this escort.
"We have wooden barrels specially used to transport seafood. They are big and strong and ensure that none of them will die."
"Well, thank you both, please." Xiao Ming smiled and immediately paid a deposit of fifty taels of silver. Eighty taels of silver was a bit expensive, but she felt it was worth it to be able to transport live seafood back.
Don't blame her for buying so much. In Pingcheng, it's rare to find dried seafood, let alone live ones.
After settling their worries, Xiao Ming and the others continued shopping. However, Chen Yuanze's child was a little unhappy along the way, because sister Xiao Ming would rather spend money to find an escort agency than let him send the Chen family's carriage.
well! I can no longer please my sister.
Life is no longer fun.
Xiao Ming watched Chen Yuanze feel sorry for himself for a while, then smiled and ignored him.
But within a moment, Chen Yuanze became interested, looked at the jewelry shop in front of him and said to Xiao Ming: "Sister, let's go shopping for jewelry. I'll give you whatever you like."
Chen Yuanze knew that the sisters at home loved beautiful jewelry and often called the shopkeepers from the jewelry shops into his house. The shopkeepers brought dozens or hundreds of pieces of jewelry for them to choose from.
Chen Yuanze was happy. Girls all love beautiful jewelry, and Sister Xiao Ming must also like it.
Xiao Ming laughed when she saw Chen Yuanze's eager look. This little kid knew how to give jewelry to others, but how could she accept it? If she accepted it, I'm afraid Mrs. Chen would misunderstand her even more.
"You fool, jewelry is for the girl you like, I can't take it."
Chen Yuanze·····
The girl you like?
"Girl, there is a store selling fruit wine and canned fruit in front of you. Let's go and have a look." Li'er shouted, interrupting Chen Yuanze's train of thought.
