The next morning, the blue bricks were still covered with dew, and the buildings in the distance were shrouded in mist.

Huniu was wearing a bright colorful skirt, beautiful embroidered shoes, and a braid of horns on her head. Her body looked fragrant and she strode out of the inn.

She stopped at the door, narrowed her face, looked to the left first, then to the right, frowning slightly.

She likes this ancient city very much. It has clean blue brick streets, various shops, and all kinds of strange things. But what makes her feel helpless is that it is easy to get lost here, and many places feel very similar.

"On the right!" Lin Haoran walked out and reminded her.

The college examination was in early July, and there was not much time left before the examination, so he had to deal with the matters here and immediately set off to Gaozhou Prefecture to take the examination.

In this era, fame is undoubtedly the foundation of one's life. Especially after the irreconcilable conflict with Jiangcun, it is even more necessary for him to obtain fame, so that he can have enough power to protect the people of Changlin Village.

Huniu strode towards the right with her short legs. At the same time, she raised her face in confusion and asked, "Brother, where are we going now? Is it to Master Shen Liu?"

"No! I'm afraid his shop isn't even open yet. Let's finish breakfast first before going there!" Lin Haoran reached out and took her little hand, explaining as he walked along with her.

"Okay!" Huniu heard that she wanted to have breakfast and immediately responded with a bound. She had heard too many Dianbai snacks in the village before, but now that she was here, she could finally get what she wanted.

There are many kinds of snacks in Dianbai. There are many breakfast stalls in the area of ​​Chenghuang Temple, and those stalls are steaming with white mist.

Lin Haoran chose a stall owned by an old couple and ordered a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, Hu Niu ordered a shrimp rice roll, and Ali ordered a bowl of wontons, which they ate happily.

"Brother, this is delicious too. You can have a piece!" Huniu opened her mouth and took a mouthful of the preserved egg and lean meat porridge that Lin Haoran sent her. She also picked up a piece of shrimp rice roll and brought it to Lin Haoran's mouth.

The relationship between the two brothers and sisters is growing day by day, and they always share good things with each other, which is really enviable to others.

Lin Haoran opened his mouth to eat the piece of shrimp rice roll and found that it was really delicious, so he asked the boss for another one.

“It tastes even better with this sauce!”

The old man brought over a sauce plate and said with a smile.

"Thanks!"

Hu Niu thanked her crisply, then picked up a piece of thin-skinned and brightly colored shrimp rice rolls and soaked up the sauce, opened her mouth and stuffed it into her mouth to chew. She found that it was indeed more delicious, and she realized that she was right to follow it this time.

Ali's reaction to shrimp rice rolls was mediocre, but she was somewhat interested in the rice dumplings, so she asked for one in fluent Chinese. After this period of study, she was able to communicate simply with others.

After breakfast, Lin Haoran led Huniu to Shen Liuye's shop. Shen Liuye's shop is on the street near the east gate. The east gate is right outside the port, so it is considered a golden treasure.

Huniu was surprised by such a large shop. She took Ali around the shop, which opened her eyes. But when she saw the pile of stones on the ground over there, she was too puzzled by it.

Shen Liujin came down from upstairs and when he saw Lin Haoran again, he smiled heartily. He stepped forward and patted him heavily on the shoulder, as if the two had been friends for more than ten years.

"Master Lin, thank you for giving me the cloth. Well done!" He put on a smile on his face and his eyes were full of excitement. It didn't seem like he was faking it.

The accountant next to him looked at it, but he knew that the shopkeeper's excitement was genuine. The main reason for making more money or less was to complete the store's variety and be able to stand up and do business with foreigners.

"Shopkeeper Shen, if you don't help me sell the cloth, I don't know where to sell it. And I may not be able to afford the price!" Lin Haoran said politely, knowing that this should be praised or praised.

These words really made Shen Liujin very happy, and he immediately said with some bragging: "There must be somewhere to sell such good cloth, but in terms of price, I am indeed very kind, so in the future you still have to hand over the cloth to its me!"

"That's for sure! Then we have agreed now that I will ship the next batch of three hundred pieces of cloth to you, how about it?" Lin Haoran had this intention and followed his words.

Now the cooperation between the two parties is undoubtedly mutually beneficial. Lin Haoran came here in person this time just to continue to finalize the business with him.

"Brother! Let's make an agreement now. You can send whatever money you have to me in the future!" Shen Liujin patted him hard, then turned to the accountant and said, "Settlement the account of Mr. Lin." Yes! I have something to do later, let’s meet again tonight!”

The last sentence was said to Lin Haoran. After saying hello, he hurried to the port.

Now Shen Liuye not only sells goods to foreign businessmen, but also exchanges some goods from foreign businessmen. In particular, he recently received news that the current Emperor Jiajing has a special liking for ambergris and has ordered Guangdong and Fujian to purchase ambergris. fragrant.

Compared with his current small business, the profits from spices are undoubtedly even more astonishing. Each tael of ambergris is worth a hundred gold (gold is four times as much as silver). How many pieces of cloth can you earn by selling this? money.

Because of this, he hoped to buy some ambergris from foreign businessmen at a low price, and then sell it to the government at a high price, and maybe make a profit of tens of thousands of taels.

After Shen Liuye left in a hurry, Lin Haoran found the accountant and quickly got the money for the goods.

He sent over three batches of goods, totaling 1,000 pieces of cloth, and earned 1.5 yuan per piece. Therefore, in this transaction, Lin Haoran made a profit of 150 taels, which was considered a very good profit.

At this time, if there were no banknotes, silver ingots were used for transactions.

In fact, paper money has been around since the Song Dynasty, and Taizu of the Ming Dynasty also introduced the Ming Dynasty treasure banknote. It is a pity that after defrauding countless people, the credit of this convenient banknote for making money was completely bankrupt by the time of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty. Now it has become It's worthless.

There is actually no official currency in the Ming Dynasty now, and silver is just a folk currency that was developed to adapt to the situation. But this silver is very troublesome to use, because silver is heavy, so it is very inconvenient to carry.

After getting the money, Lin Haoran called Huniu with the money bag and planned to leave. Huniu ran over excitedly and pointed out to him quietly that two Westerners had entered the store to buy something.

"Go back! Let's find foreigners to make a fortune soon!"
