"Two hundred and thirty-seven, all of them are gray wolf skins, but some of them are not in very good condition. Let the shopkeeper help me take a look at them and estimate the price."

Those wolves fell into the trap and were stabbed through each other. The wolf skins they peeled off naturally had big holes and small eyes. Such skins were not worth much money.

The shopkeeper watched the men bring in the wolf skins and couldn't help but swallowed: "Are these really all wolf skins?"

Jiang Pan nodded: "Of course, the shopkeeper can ask someone to inspect the goods, and you will be compensated ten for any fake ones."

The shopkeeper came up and looked through it: "God, where did you kill so many wolves? Look at the condition, they were just hunted a few days ago, and your accent... you can't be the old official in the forest.

Beat those wolves!"

It is no secret that there are wolves in Lao Guandao's woods, and the accents of Jiang Pan and others are obviously from Jianzhou. The fact that the only way to Tongzhou was washed away by flash floods has long been spread.

If people from Jianzhou want to come here, they must take the old official route.

So the shopkeeper immediately guessed the origin of these wolf skins.

Jiang Pan nodded: "Indeed."

The shopkeeper hurriedly asked someone to come over and take inventory of the wolf skins, and then looked at Jiang Pan eagerly, "May I ask how you warriors killed the wolves there? I heard that there was a snow-white wolf king in the wolf pack, but it's true.

?”

Jiang Pan nodded: "Indeed."

The shopkeeper looked regretful: "Did the Wolf King escape?"

"No, he was beaten to death by us too."

The shopkeeper's eyes suddenly lit up: "What about the wolf skin? Can you bring one with you? Snow wolves are rare in the world, and its skin is worth a lot of money. Even if it is damaged, I can definitely give you a satisfactory price."

Jiang Pan shook his head and said: "I won't sell it, I want to keep it to make a cloak for my daughter."

The shopkeeper hurriedly advised: "Brother, I think you are like this, you have escaped from Jianzhou, right? Life is hard now, so the Wolf King's skin can be exchanged for a lot of money. I'll give it to you later.

My daughter can buy a rabbit skin cloak and it will be just as warm."

He felt that it was a bit out of his mind for a man from a farmer to buy a flashy cloak for his daughter without giving up his free money.

But as a businessman, you cannot say anything that offends others, you can only remind them in a roundabout way.

Jiang Pan waved his hand: "My daughter likes it."

The shopkeeper choked, but still refused to give up: "If the Wolf King's leather is not damaged, I can give you one hundred and fifty taels of silver. If there is any damage, it will be reduced by twenty taels. Big brother, I'll give it to you.

This price is really sincere, one hundred and fifty taels of silver is enough for you to buy a house and a few acres of land."

Jiang Pan was a little unhappy: "No, shopkeeper, hurry up and have someone check it. We have other things to do and we are in a hurry."

Seeing him like this, the shopkeeper could only shake his head and turned back to the counter.

After a while, the guys finished counting all the wolf skins, sorted them according to damage and calculated the price. In the end, more than 230 wolf skins were sold for 200 taels of silver.

"It's too damaged and it's only worth this price."

Jiang Pan didn't understand the price of leather goods, so he turned to look at Mrs. Cheng.

Mrs. Cheng was quite knowledgeable and nodded, indicating to him that the price was appropriate.

So Jiang Pan readily accepted the money and left with the others.

The shopkeeper still refused to give up and chased him out: "Brother, if you want to take action on your Wolf King Skin, please consider my family first!"

Jiang Pan waved his hand and led the people out of the leather goods store.

Then, they went to the largest pawn shop in the city.

Mrs. Cheng's box of jewelry was pawned for more than three hundred taels of silver.

After coming out of the pawn shop, Mrs. Cheng took out the banknote she had always kept on her body and handed it to Jiang Pan, "Brother Jiang, this is the silver I agreed to before, a total of five hundred taels. If you want to cash it in cash,

There is a bank in front of you."

After Jiang Pan declined for a while, he accepted the money. He hasn't thought about how to use the money yet, so he will leave it alone. Maybe this money will help their small mountain village take root in Jiangnan in the future.

fundamental.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Pan took a few men to buy food, while Mrs. Cheng went to the carriage and horse shop. She wanted to buy a carriage. The goal of Liu's trip was also the carriage and horse shop, so she went with them.

Mrs. Cheng spent fifty taels of silver to buy a carriage. The horse was of average quality, but the carriage was spacious enough.

Mrs. Liu spent more than twenty taels of silver to buy a donkey cart.

Her money is limited and she also needs to buy other things, so she must plan carefully.

Jiang Pan took several men to the grain store and spent fifty taels of silver to buy thirty days of coarse grains.

In the past, coarse grains cost only eight cents per catty. Once coarse grains cost eight hundred cents and fifty taels of silver, they could buy more than sixty denier. But now you can only buy less than half the amount.

Then several people went to the cloth store and bought more than 600 kilograms of cotton and a large amount of oilcloth.

People traveling with me were very puzzled: "Brother Dapan, why did you buy so much cotton and oilcloth?"

Now everyone is short of food, why don’t they all buy food?

As Jiang Pan moved things into the carriage, he said: "It's a bit cold this year. Prepare some cotton in advance. If it gets really cold, you won't have to carry it."

"As for the tarpaulin, it is naturally used to protect us from rain and snow. We didn't spend all our money on food because the further south we go, the cheaper the food will be. Carrying food with us on this long journey would be a burden."

Everyone thought what he said made sense, so they didn't ask any more questions and helped move the things together.

When everything was bought, everyone met at the city gate and then left the city together.

When Jiang Wan saw that she was almost in line, she quickly stuffed all the candied haws into her mouth and ate it, then urged Cheng Sinian to eat it too.

There are a lot of children in the team, and they are all of a greedy age. If you turn around and let them see you, you will definitely cry, which will make the adults unhappy.

Although a sugar-coated haws on a stick only costs a few cents, the farmers have a lot of money. Before the Chinese New Year, who would be willing to buy snacks for their children?

This principle was taught to her by Chen Yuezhi just now.

After returning to the team, Jiang Pan took out a scale and distributed grain to each household on a per-capita basis.

Thirty loads of grain equals three thousand kilograms. For a family of more than three hundred people, one person can probably share less than ten kilograms.

Ten kilograms of grain is enough for everyone to eat for more than half a month.

The villagers distributed grain, cotton and oilcloth, and everyone's face was filled with joy.

Jiang Pan reported the accounts to everyone, and also reported the five hundred taels of silver given by Mrs. Cheng, so that everyone could have a clear idea.

When the villagers heard that they now had 600 taels of silver, they felt confident in their hearts.

"Let's set off quickly and try to reach Jiangnan before the twelfth lunar month, and then build a house to celebrate the New Year!"

The villagers seemed to have seen the new houses they built in Jiangnan. They were all so happy that they couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear. When they set off again, their steps were even more energetic.
