Chapter 1502 Do they really think that ladies from noble families are like cabbages, everywhere you
During the dinner, seeing plate after plate of meat dishes being served, Mrs. Su felt so distressed that she almost burst into tears.
They frequently shot at Sister Yun.
Sister Yun pretended not to know and continued eating.
Little Fatty, Little Blackie, and Tiger Roar, the three little mosquitoes, were very happy.
Each person had a chicken leg, a duck leg, and a goose leg, and they ate with gusto, their mouths dripping with oil.
Uncle Sun was also happy, because this was Shanzi's welcome-home feast for his son, Dege.
Oh my, his son Dege is sure to become a great merchant soon.
Sun Bomin said with a smile, "Eat more, everyone. You've worked hard this time. Oh my, I never thought that members of our Sun family could travel so far to do such a big business. Oh my, our ancestors are watching over us, our Sun clan will live better and better."
He then instructed Sun Shan: "Shanzi, tell the village chief about this and make him happy. Hahaha, our Sun family's sons are doing well now."
Gui Ge'er flattered and said, "Grandpa, our Sun family owes its success today entirely to you. If it weren't for you giving us such a clever and bright Shan Ge, we would still be farming in Sun Family Village."
This makes a lot of sense.
Sun Dali said with a grin, "That's right, thanks to the old man, Sun Family Village is getting better and better. Hahaha... Cheers, cheers..."
One after another, the Sun family guards took turns flattering Sun Bomin.
Sun Bomin drank glass after glass of wine, never imagining such a day would come. He laughed with such joy that he seemed ten years younger.
Sun Shan quickly stopped him: "Father, don't drink too much, just a little is enough."
Sun Bomin laughed and said, "No, I must drink it. I'm happy today."
Sun Shan instructed Big Head Dog to replace Sun Bomin's wine with water, just enough to give him a slight alcoholic taste.
While gnawing on a chicken foot, Su kept an eye on the man's table.
Hearing the Sun family guards praising Sun Bomin one after another, he felt like slapping them across the face.
What do you mean by "it's all thanks to Sun Bomin"? Bah, it's all thanks to this old lady!
These idiots, they even chose the wrong person to praise.
With a quick glance, he noticed that the little fat girl's bowl was empty of chicken legs, so he immediately picked one up and took it from her.
Muttering to herself, "What a silly granddaughter! There are no chicken legs left, can't she grab one? If she doesn't grab one soon, someone else will eat them all. She doesn't even take the initiative to eat, all that fat she's gained is for nothing. If it weren't for Grandma, hmph, her tummy would definitely be growling..."
After finishing her chicken leg, the chubby girl saw another one appear in her bowl.
She said cheerfully, "Grandma, Xiaoxiao likes Grandma the most."
Little Fatty isn't stupid, even though she's small. The chicken leg must have been given to her by her grandma, because only her grandma loves her the most.
Like my mother, she eats by herself, and if she doesn't have enough, she'll even grab some for herself.
After a hearty meal, the dishes and cups were left in disarray.
The Sun family guards ate with great relish; it was the most satisfying meal they had ever had since they started trading.
Everyone secretly thought that they would continue to trade in the future, not only earning wages but also having big meals, living a very happy life.
The Wang family, located northeast of the Yuanlu government office, also gathered together to review the key points of this business trip.
Wang Jijun said admiringly, "Grandpa, Uncle, Father, doing business with Lord Sun is the real business, it's so simple! Ah, having someone in the family who is an official makes all the difference, doing business is so much smoother."
Recalling his first solo adventures in the world, Wang Jijun's memories are all filled with tears.
Whether you make money or lose money is not important, but you can't lose your life.
If it weren't for Lord Sun's timely appearance, the grass on his grave would be several feet tall.
Mr. Wang asked suspiciously, "Was it really that smooth? Did you encounter any difficulties along the way?"
Others face countless difficulties when doing business, so how come this grain transaction went so smoothly?
Steward Wang nodded and bowed, saying earnestly, "Master, Master, Master, this time it went very smoothly, without any difficulties. The only regret is that we didn't transport enough grain, wasting two boats. If we had enough grain, we could have transported 20,000 to 30,000 catties more."
Wang Jijun immediately chimed in, "That's right, we brought so little grain this time. We could have earned much more. It's a pity. It's our first time venturing into Dongting Lake, and we're not very familiar with it."
The Wang family's business only involved traveling between Chenzhou Prefecture and Yuanlu County. They had no understanding of the carrying capacity of ships and had never traveled such a long distance for trade.
Even the experienced Deputy Steward Wang seemed inexperienced.
Deputy Steward Wang then said, "Old Master, First Master, Second Master, Steward Sun suggested that our two families build a large warehouse in Chenzhou Prefecture to store the grain from Yuanlu County. Then we can transport the grain from the warehouse to the Chenzhou Prefecture dock. This way, we can transport more grain to Dongting Lake at once and earn more money."
He then suggested, "Old Master, First Master, Second Master, why don't we borrow the Wang family's villa to store grain? Before the New Year, we can make one or two more trips to Dongting Lake."
Building a warehouse is too late; the earliest we can do it is next spring.
Let's take advantage of what we have now and sell the grain.
Wang Jijun continued to chime in, "Grandpa, Uncle, Father, Deputy Steward Wang's idea is excellent. Let's sell the grain first. Master Chen is still buying grain and is preparing to transport a batch to the capital. He saw that the grain from our Yuanlu County is plump, dry, and free of impurities. He wants us to sell it to him as well."
Old Master Wang frowned and asked, "Is this Master Chen a relative of Lord Sun's friend? Is the Chen family very powerful? Is Lord Sun very familiar with them?"
Speaking of the Chen family, Deputy Steward Wang didn't know much about them.
Wang Jijun knew perfectly well that it all came down to Dege'er's words.
Wang Jijun, head held high and chest puffed out, said smugly, "Grandpa, this Chen family is the Chen family of Guangzhou, a top-tier family in Guangzhou. Many of their family members hold official positions throughout the Great Qian Dynasty."
Their family not only holds high-ranking official positions, but their business is even more extensive. I've heard they do business overseas. Father, I heard from Brother De that all the windows in the Chen family's mansion are made of stained glass, each one bright and colorful.
Not to mention the main branch, even the collateral branches are doing very well. That Master Chen is just a distant relative of the Chen family, yet he lives a life of luxury, adorned with gold and silver, and served by servants.
He paused, then added, "Madam Sun's mother is from the Chen family. Lord Sun married into a very good family. Not only does he get an official position through his wife's family, but he also gets into business through them. Tsk tsk..."
He muttered to himself: "Lord Sun is such a gigolo."
He then changed the subject, saying, "Grandpa, my eldest brother is no good. He married a girl from a poor family and didn't get any benefits from it."
Wang Jijun tried hard to recall what benefits his elder brother, a scholar from the capital, had brought to his family.
Thinking and thinking, not only is there no benefit, but I also have to send money regularly to support my elder brother's family's basic needs.
How can there be such a huge difference among scholars?
Lord Sun is already Lord Sun, while his elder brother is still a lowly scholar named Wang who relies on his family for support.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped across the face by Master Wang.
He cursed viciously, "You brat, you've only been on one business trip and you've become so arrogant? You even dare to speak ill of your sister-in-law?"
Why was Master Wang so upset? Was it because he didn't want to help his eldest son find a capable and good wife?
It's because the Wang family can't find a wife!
Do you really think that ladies from respectable families are like cabbages, everywhere you look?
