Chapter 165 What is the Right Price?
"Hey, let's go, let's go, I got it!" Erya's face was red but she still puffed her lips and spoke in a low voice with some force.
"Brother, let's go and take a look. After you deliver the goods, we can go out for a walk. I will introduce this place to them."
Guangdan pushed Gouwei forward as he spoke. The three of them breathed a sigh of relief when Gouwei entered another grocery store.
"My nephew is a little nagging." Taohuaer sighed as she looked at Gouwei's back.
"Brother, if you send these to other people's shops like this, will they be able to sell them?" Erya was even more worried about her elder brother's business.
"They can be sold. Big brother won't send a lot of goods at a time. These are just small businesses. There are still many educated people in the county."
After saying that, Guangdan started introducing the surrounding shops one by one. Although he knew only a vague idea about them, he had been there before after all.
Moreover, Guangdan also wanted to test Erya and Xiaogu's literacy results at home. They had not used to learn characters at home, but this time it was different after coming to the county town.
There were words on the plaque or sign of each store. Although they could only recognize a few simple words, it made the two little girls very happy.
This further aroused their desire to go home and continue studying. The three of them whispered all the way until Gouwei finished delivering the goods.
"How is it?" When Guangdan saw his elder brother's smug look on his face, he knew that this time it was not bad.
Gouwei scratched his head a little embarrassedly, then grinned and said, "Not bad, isn't it almost the Qixi Festival? The shopkeepers are getting the goods more quickly."
After finishing the delivery near the academy, the group went directly to West Street.
Nowadays, there is basically no need to ask for directions when coming to the county town. After all, there are only a few wide streets in the county town, and you can basically remember them after coming a few times.
"Is West Street really that lively?" Erya asked excitedly, her big watery eyes occasionally keeping an eye on the new shops around her.
"You'll know when you get there, it's really lively there." Guangdan said with a wink.
"I wonder how Dad and the others are doing with their cows?" Gouwei still couldn't let go of his own cows.
Hearing his elder brother say this, Guangdan's eyes immediately lit up: "Brother, why don't you go to the cattle and sheep market to have a look? The three of us can just go to the West Market by ourselves!"
"No." Gouwei seemed to see through his brother's little thoughts and refused directly, staring at Guangdan.
The distance from the academy to the West Market is not far, and it is estimated to take about twenty minutes to walk.
As we approached the West Market, we saw the bustling crowds, including farmers pushing carts, vendors pushing wheelbarrows, middle-aged women walking in groups, and children running and playing on the stone road.
"Let's go." Guangdan pulled the stunned Erya a few times, and then continued walking towards West Street.
"This restaurant looks so beautiful!" Erya even regretted for a moment that she should have learned a few more words from Goudan. Now she couldn't even find the words to describe this gorgeous-looking restaurant in front of her.
"Drinking inside is probably expensive too." Gouwei responded from the side, missing Guangdan who was looking thoughtful beside him.
At this moment, Guangdan wondered if he should ask Second Aunt to get some recipes to sell. A big restaurant like this should pay quite a lot for them, right?
Thinking of this, I felt that I was really smart, and I couldn't help but smile happily with my little white teeth showing.
"There are big shops, restaurants, food stalls, cloth shops and so on on the outer edge. There are some small shops inside that are very suitable for us." As he said this, Guangdan quickened his pace impatiently.
After entering West Street, Guangdan and his group entered an alley at a small fork in the road. This alley was filled with grocery stores selling daily necessities, spice shops and the like.
The stores were very small, and every store was filled with goods. The shelves at the door were filled with items, and some even put up signs with promotional slogans like those in later generations.
"What are you doing here?" Gouwei asked vigilantly, pulling Guangdan's arm.
His intuition told him that Guangdan would probably start buying all kinds of things again.
"Brother, don't talk anymore. I want to buy some seasonings for my second aunt's stall in the back." Guangdan said as he strode towards a shop with spices displayed at the door.
“Hiss-” Gouwei sucked in a breath of cold air and felt as if his eyes were black at the moment. This is a spice shop! ! ! !
In this era, and even in previous dynasties, spices were not something that poor people could get their hands on!
While Gouwei was still in a daze, Guangdan had already taken Erya to carefully look at the spices in the burlap bags on the shelf in front of the store.
To Guangdan, these are just some common spices that he needs, such as star anise, cloves, grass fruit, cardamom, tangerine peel, cinnamon bay leaves and so on.
Guangdan, feeling somewhat satisfied, looked around outside and went straight into the store. At this time, the store owner was greeting a middle-aged woman and did not come over to greet Guangdan.
After taking a few glances in the store, Guangdan immediately understood that the shelves in the store were filled with relatively expensive spices, such as agarwood, sandalwood, and some spices that Guangdan did not recognize.
These were not within Guangdan's consideration. After the middle-aged woman paid the bill and left, the shopkeeper looked at Guangdan with a smile.
"What's up little one?"
The shopkeeper was obviously in a good mood, which made Erya and the others nearby relax a lot.
Gouwei was not worried about the shopkeeper's attitude, but he was worried about what Guangdan was going to buy next.
He didn't want to argue with Guangdan in the store, but he was worried that Guangdan would buy too much and get scolded when he got home. He felt that being a big brother was really difficult.
"Boss, I want to take a look at the spices outside. If the price is right, I would like to buy some back." Guangdan smiled and pointed to the shelves in front of the shop.
"Oh? Then what price do you think is suitable, little brother?" The shopkeeper pulled his moustache and observed the clothes and appearance of the children in front of him calmly.
His clothes looked half-new, without any patches, but the skin on his face and hands showed that he worked frequently. He didn't look like a rich man.
Thinking about it this way, he found it interesting and was a little curious about what Guangdan was trying to do. He didn't think these kids would really buy spices.
The main reason is that I made a lot of money selling agarwood just now, which is enough to support me for a month after opening. Anyway, I am very happy.
