Fangzhu Zhang rubbed the fox fur with his fingers, and said with a smile: "This fox fur is of high quality, at least worth four taels of silver."

Fan Zijin turned around and asked Mu Shi, "Uncle Mu, what price did those merchants give you just now?"

Fangzhu Zhang saw Mu Shi who was sitting on the side, his expression changed slightly, and he felt a little uneasy.

Mu Shi said: "They bid two taels."

Fan Zijin looked at Fangzhu Zhang with a full smile, and said, "Master Zhang, there seems to be a big difference in the price."

Fangzhu Zhang made an apology and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that those peddlers don't know the goods." Zhang Fangzhu thought for a while and said: "How about this, how about I introduce a few peddlers for you? Their bids are always fair."

Although I don't know the relationship between this son and the Mu family's father and daughter, it's better not to offend him.

Fan Zijin just wanted to repay Mu Yangling's favor, not stand out for them, so he said straightforwardly: "Then I will trouble Master Zhang."

Isn't it just those merchants that Zhang Fangzhu introduced?

This time, Fan Zijin and the others helped out, but next time there will be no such luck. Mu Yangling was not happy, and with a bright smile on his face, he interjected: "Master Zhang, my father is dull, and I am not very good at talking, I'm afraid Those merchants don’t like us, I don’t know if there are any masters who collect leather goods who are as out-of-group as us.”

Fangzhu Zhang glanced at Mu Yangling, and thought to himself, you still can't speak like this? But he still lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "There are actually two, they are from Wenzhou area, they don't fit in with others, and set up a stall alone in Beijiao, why, the young lady wants to sell furs to them?"

Mu Yangling looked at his father, and Mu Shi saluted and said, "We want to go and have a look, and ask the workshop owner to help us introduce."

Master Zhang nodded, "It's not difficult, you come with me."

He knows Mu Shi, and he sells the most leather goods every year, and the quality is high. Although he has the blood of Hu people, he has lived in Mingshui County since his father. He is also a native of Mingshui County, so he despises him , but also regarded him as a native of Mingshui County.

The merchant who used to receive goods from him left, and he knew a thing or two about him being bullied by the new merchant, but first, Mu Shi didn't complain, so he naturally didn't care; It's not good for one to challenge so many merchants, so he just turned a blind eye and passed it, but he didn't like those merchants very much in his heart.

Now that someone has stood up for him, he is happy to help.

Fangzhu Zhang led a group of people directly to the two merchants from Wenzhou.

Most of the local merchants are from Hongzhou area, so they often work together. Only Jiang Rong and Guo Cai are from Wenzhou, so they are excluded by everyone, and they can't even find a good booth, so even if they offer a fair price, they can grab a good one. There are very few fur goods, but if the price is increased, the money they make going back and forth is not worth it.

The two were sitting at the back of the booth, watching eagerly the flow of people in front of them, but there was no one in front of them.

Seeing Fangzhu Zhang bringing people over, the two quickly got up and saluted, "Fangzhu Zhang."

Fangzhu Zhang nodded slightly, pointed at Mu Shi and said, "You two, I recommend a business to you. This is Mu Shi. His leather goods are always of good quality. You can discuss with them." After finishing speaking, he stepped aside, As the owner of the workshop, he cannot interfere with the transactions under the workshop.

Jiang Rong and Guo Cai were amazed, and after seeing Mu Shi's face and the two young masters who were standing aside talking in a low voice, they finally calmed down a little.

Mu Yangling was the first to break the silence, and took the initiative to sell the fox fur to them, "Uncles, these are my fur goods. Take a closer look. My father's leather tanning skills are among the best in Qili Township."

Jiang Rong touched it in his hand, then opened it to look carefully, and nodded slightly to Guo Cai, Guo Cai pondered: "This fox fur is really good, how many pieces does Brother Mu have?"

Mu Shi's eyes brightened slightly, and he said cheerfully, "There are five of them."

"Can you find it and show us?"

Mu Shi carefully unwrapped a roll of fox fur from the trolley, opened it for them to see, and the two of them checked carefully, not missing a single place, before nodding their heads, feeling excited.

Jiang Rong sank, and said with a smile: "This fox fur is really good, I wonder how much Brother Mu wants to ask for it?"

Mu Shi thought, those people just asked for two taels, and they were unwilling to raise half the price. Originally, he thought it would be good if he could sell two taels and a half, but now he wants to sell three taels, so he opened his mouth to say , but his daughter said in front of him: "You two uncles, why don't you make a price first. If it suits us, we will sell it. If it doesn't suit us, let's discuss it again, how about it?"

Jiang Rong and Guo Cai looked at each other and looked at Mu Yangling differently. Whoever made the price first would lose out.

The two deliberately refused to go back, but the two handsome young men were looking at this side with a smile, they thought for a while, and said: "Such a good fox fur can be sold for four taels of silver in the market," Guo Cai said. Gritting his teeth, he still didn't raise the price, and said, "Then we'll bid four taels of silver a piece." He and Jiang Rong's family was not well off, and this time they came to Mingshui County to buy goods and not only sold their property, but also owed a lot. My wife and young son are waiting for my debts. Although I know that the other party has a backer, I still don’t raise the price. I think that if the other party is not satisfied, I will raise it slowly.

Mu Shi and Mu Yangling both heaved a sigh of relief, and nodded with a smile, "Then let's pay this price."

The most expensive fox furs were sold, and the rest were rabbit and wolf furs.

Rabbit skin is okay, many nobles in the south like it, but this wolf skin is a bit difficult to sell, because Wenzhou is already very south, and the men there don't like to wear it, but Hongzhou area, in winter Men love to use these furs.

However, Jiang Rong and Guo Cai only hesitated for a moment before buying it, and the price they gave was very reasonable.

Mu Yangling watched them take out the money, and smiled and narrowed his eyes. There was only one slit left in one pair of eyes. Mu Shi was also very happy. The light fox fur was sold for twenty taels, plus other furs, it was a full forty-eight taels The money is enough for the family to have a good year, and there is no need to worry about it until next summer.

Jiang Rong and Guo Cai were also very happy. Jiang Rong thought for a while and said, "Brother Mu, if you still have furs to sell in the future, you can come to us. You can also come here if you have furs to sell in your village. Dare to say that the price we give is the highest, but it must be the most fair.”

Mu Shi was also very satisfied with them, nodded and said: "Thank you, I will definitely come to you when I have fur goods."

Jiang Rong and Guo Cai suddenly showed big smiles.

Everyone thanked Fangzhu again, and then Mu Yangling saw his father take out five taels of silver and stuff it into Zhang Fangzhu's hand, saying: "Fangzhu, this is the tax we paid."

Fangzhu Zhang squinted his eyes, took out a little wolf pen from his body, wrote a receipt to Mu Shi, put away the money, Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin said with a smile: "My two sons, I'd better let me accompany you Are you two going for a walk?"

"No need, let's play by ourselves for a while." Qi Haoran was impatient to go shopping with an old man, and said: "Master Zhang is busy with work, let's go first, you don't need to accompany him."

Fangzhu Zhang didn't force himself, he just nodded and smiled and then retreated.
