Yi Mingxue stood up and walked to the door.

I saw a cloth merchant dressed as a businessman, pointing at a coachman and scolding him.

"I'm due for delivery tomorrow, and now you're telling me that the carriage and horse are broken down?! I don't care, you hurry up and find a way for me. Even if you find someone to come over, you have to deliver this batch of goods to Fengyun for me."

Go to town."

The coachman also had a bitter look on his face, "It's not that I didn't think of a way, it's actually that the old city wall was being built recently, and all the carriages and horses in the town were requisitioned."

The fabric merchant was so anxious that he broke out in sweat, "What should I do? If I deliver the goods late, I will have to pay ten times the liquidated damages. Then my three months' work will be in vain!"

"I'm really sorry! Boss, there's nothing I can do... the horse in our shop is too old and can no longer hump..."

Yi Mingxue blinked and looked at the carriage behind him.

It's really time for that horse to retire. If it keeps running like this, it might die of exhaustion on the road.

After a while, Wang Wenshi walked out with a smile.

"Girl! The goods are all good, especially those two wolf skins! The coat color is good and complete. Our appraiser's quotation is three taels of silver."

Yi Mingxue looked at Wang Wenshi, who had a professional smile on his fat face.

Five pieces of leather, the price is three taels.

It’s not a rip-off, but it’s not a high price either.

Yi Mingxue thought for a moment, stretched out four fingers, and bargained, "Four taels of silver."

"This..." Wang Wenshi looked troubled, "Girl, I'm afraid you don't know the current market situation. It's absolutely impossible to make four taels."

Yi Mingxue turned to look outside the door and said slowly, "If my guess is correct, there should be troops stationed around here to repair the old city wall this time. Those military gentlemen are not short of money, but it seems that the weather is getting worse today.

It's getting colder, so it's time for rich and prestigious nobles to wear new fur cloaks."

Wang Wenshi's expression froze.

But Yi Mingxue continued, "Our locals are very good at rabbit fur and fox fur, but those gentlemen who have been on the battlefield all year round, do you think they would like wolf fur cloaks?"

After saying that, she stretched out a hand, spread her fingers, and said with a smile: "If you don't want four taels, then I will raise the price to five taels."

"Sure!" Wang Wenshi was poked at by Yi Mingxue.

He immediately agreed to her asking price and gave Yi Mingxue a thumbs up, "You're so cruel!"

Yi Mingxue got an advantage, so she stopped being nice and said, "Thank you, Boss Wang, for your consideration."

Afterwards, he took the money and walked out of Yongqing Leather Goods Store.

The waiter on the side was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped when he saw it.

He asked in confusion, "Second shopkeeper, you just agreed?"

Wang Wenshi rolled his eyes, slapped the waiter on the back of the head, and cursed with a smile.

"What else? What they said is right! If these two wolf skins were made into finished products and sold to those generals, each piece would cost more than this."

The guy was even more shocked when he heard this.

"Then she lost a lot of money!?"

As a result, Wang Wenshi kicked him in the butt, "You idiot, you know nothing! Go to work quickly!"

Yi Mingxue walked out of the business in a good mood.

She heard the conversation between Wang Wenshi and his clerk.

But just like Wang Wenshi said, even if she knew that there were distinguished customers who were in demand for these wolf skins, the general would definitely have to buy goods from big merchants when buying winter clothes.

The same thing to the same customer might be able to sell it for several taels of silver each through Yongqing Trading Company.

But if she were to sell it now, no one would even bother to look at her.

And after excluding the costs of making ready-made clothes and opening up sales, she may not be able to earn as much as she does now.

Yi Mingxue quickly walked out of Yongqing Leather Goods Store, and finally found the fabric merchant not far away.

He was crestfallen, with frustration written all over his face.

The coachman also squatted on the side, smoking hard.

Yi Mingxue led Dongdong over and asked with a smile, "Boss, what difficulties did you encounter?"

The cloth merchant was annoyed and just wanted to scold him.

But after seeing the big horse behind Yi Mingxue, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Girl! Would you like to rent this horse? I'll pay."

Yi Mingxue shook her head, "No rent, no borrow."

"You..." The businessman was about to say that he would buy it himself.

But when he saw Dongdong's appearance clearly, he immediately shut his mouth knowingly.

He can't afford this horse.

The cloth merchant returned to his previous frustrated look, "Then what do you want to do?"

Yi Mingxue curled her lips, "I want to buy your truck for hauling goods."

"Go, go, go - we are worried and don't have time to talk to you about such nonsense." The cloth merchant waved his hand behind his back and dismissed.

However, Yi Mingxue was not angry. Instead, she continued, "In exchange, I can help you deliver this shipment to Fengyun Town."

When the cloth merchant heard this, he quickly raised his head.

But he has traveled all over the country for so many years, and there is nothing else. He has seen a lot of scammers.

So, he said suspiciously, "Just to buy this broken-down truck, are you willing to go through such a big trouble?"

Yi Mingxue stopped talking in circles with him and said straightforwardly, "Actually, to be precise, I want to buy this batch of goods from you."

At this time, the cloth merchant's eyes widened.

"These goods were ordered months in advance by regular customers of our store who have been with us for many years. Although I have encountered some problems now, there is absolutely no reason to resell them temporarily."

Yi Mingxue covered her lips and smiled, "Don't worry! I mean, I will buy it together with your contract with these cargo owners."

"It means that the ones who buy the goods are still your regular customers, and the ones who sell the goods are still you! It's just that there is me added in the middle for some special reasons."

She spoke concisely and to the point, and the cloth merchant immediately understood what she meant.

"I see, you don't want to rent a horse because you want to make more money."

Yi Mingxue smiled but said nothing.

Seeing that the fabric merchant was relaxed, she continued, "Actually, I am from Fengyun Town, but I just happened to hear you talking."

"I want to go back, so I might as well help you out. I can solve your urgent needs and earn some money for myself. Why not."

The cloth merchant nodded, "Then how much do you expect to bid?"

Yi Mingxue thought for a while and counted the numbers.

The cloth merchant was so shocked that his beard twitched, "You are... taking advantage of the situation!"

Yi Mingxue shrugged slightly and said innocently, "You have misunderstood this, I really really want to help you.

"And this is only 10% of the price of your goods, and you still make a big profit."

The fabric merchant's face turned red, but tomorrow was the delivery date.

If I wasted my time, I would have to lose all the profits from this trip, let alone a 10% profit.

He is a businessman, so he knows very well that Yi Mingxue's proposal is his best choice.

He hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said bitterly.

"It's really cheap for a good guy like you!"
