Chapter 517 Middleman

"Yes." Chi Xinian simply nodded and took the time to glance at the guy leading the way, "Are you interested in northerners?"

The situation was still unclear at the moment, so she was naturally cautious.

However, the waiter in the shop only said: "Sir, you have misunderstood. It is not that I am interested in northerners, but that there are many northern merchants in the city now."

"Oh? Are they here to pick up some bargains too?" Upon hearing this, Chi Xinian's mind changed and he figured out the reason.

When they arrived, they were also accompanied by a caravan.

According to the captain of the caravan, many businessmen are pouring into Binh Hing Prefecture to buy Binh Hing’s textile specialties at low prices.

Xingping was hit by a disaster, and many people lost their homes, had no clothes to cover, and no food to eat. At this time, in order to survive, they were willing to trade anything for a mouthful of food to save their lives.

Even decent families were willing to store it at home because their grain fields and granaries were flooded and they were short of grain.

Originally, Pingxing's textile industry was famous in the Jiangnan area.

Many people here can raise silkworms, weave cloth, and embroider. Their craftsmanship has been passed down from generation to generation and can be regarded as a unique feature of Binh Hing.

Even the beautiful ladies who showed off the clothing patterns for the nobles in the palace were mostly selected from Binh Hung area. This shows their skills.

It is precisely because of this that many merchants come here with grain, exchanging for exquisite products at prices far lower than usual...

Chi Xinian was not very interested in business matters, but now that the waiter mentioned it, she wanted to use her knowledge to get some information.

As soon as he heard her words, the waiter immediately understood that she was knowledgeable. She even blamed her team as the one who picked up the missing items.

"No, Pingxing Mansion's exquisite products are famous throughout Dajing. The current situation is a disaster for most people, but it is an opportunity for a few businessmen." He talked about business opportunities.

While talking, he quietly hinted to Chi Xinian, "I wonder if the girl is also interested in purchasing show products. If so...hehe, I can save the girl some time in searching for goods."

"Do you still have a way to receive the goods?" Chi Xinian chuckled, "What? Now the inn is still working part-time to make money as a middleman?"

"This... right now, food is as expensive as oil. I have to do this as a last resort to support my family." The waiter turned his eyes left and right to make sure that no one else heard their conversation. He cupped his hand at Chi Xinian and smiled in return.

.

He laughed dryly and said: "Girl, we are doing this to make a living. If you are interested in buying it, you can ask a villain to introduce it. If you want to see it yourself, that's fine, but please don't tell our shopkeeper about it.

"After all, we're just the guys working in the store. We help with matchmaking. The shopkeeper won't let us do that."

"Understood." Chi Xinian nodded slightly in response.

Naturally, she would not embarrass a young man, but she did not want to miss the opportunity to explore the situation of the people in the main city of Pingxing Mansion.

So, when she got to her room, she simply waved to the waiter to come in and get some tea for her: "This Pingxing beauty is one of the best in the world, and I also have a few collections at home.

"If there are ones with a suitable price, I do want to buy some. It's just... I came all the way south and saw that many places were hit by disasters. The prices of things are different from those in the past. I don't know how much the show items cost now?"
