Chapter 477: The Situation in Yunzhou
Zhou Guo felt like he was dreaming as he was walking on the way home. The scene was the same when he left, and it was the same when he came back.
The Zhou Cheng brothers put the things in their car into Zhou Guo's car and couldn't wait to go home. They missed home after being away for so many days.
The lights in Zhou's house are still on.
When the people in the house heard the noise, many people rushed out.
Zhou Guo took a look and saw that Wu Jiang and others were also here. It seemed that they were waiting for news and had not returned yet.
Li patted her thigh and said, "Poor you, you're finally back. The old man said that if you don't come tonight, you must come back tomorrow morning. We didn't dare to sleep. Come in quickly. I'll go heat up some food for you."
Zhou Xing said: "I'll go with you."
Zhou Guo waved his hand and said to Wu Jiang and the others, "Move everything on the cart into the house, unload the cart, and feed the cattle and horses in the shed in the backyard."
A dozen teenagers came up to work.
After she gave the order, she strode into the house. As soon as she entered the door, she looked at the old man sitting on the kang and asked, "Master, when did you come back? Is everything going well? Are you injured?"
The old man didn't answer. He squinted his eyes and looked at her in the light. He said with satisfaction: "Very good, it seems to be going well."
About thirty people filled the room, and both sides were telling each other about what happened after they separated.
"There were indeed many ambushes outside Yunzhou. We encountered one five or six miles away from Yunzhou Prefecture. Suddenly, people came out from all directions and rushed to the car, robbing and fighting. Fortunately, we were prepared early. The old man was very brave. He could guard a car by himself. There were more than ten of us guarding a car. We also injured many people with sticks and stones. Brother Wang was worthy of being a butcher. He was very strong and beat one person at a time. The two sides fought for half an hour. Seeing that we were exhausted, a large number of the other side fell down. The last ones left were either kids younger than us or women. They didn't dare to rush up, so we hurriedly drove the car to the city. Everyone was only injured."
"The old man is really amazing. I didn't see how he attacked, but he sent two or three people flying. I think he can beat those people by himself even without us."
The old man waved his hand and said, "I am old and have to accept my age. I am not energetic anymore. I won't be able to gain any advantage if we continue fighting. If you were not here, I would not be able to protect the two trucks of goods. Your contribution is really great."
However, Zhou Guo knew that his master had held back and did not kill them, only beating them until one of them struggled to get up. Otherwise, it would not have been so hard. Fortunately, everything was fine, and the unpleasantness of the process was over.
He asked, "What price did you sell the two truckloads of goods for? Did the goods that were robbed earlier flow in?"
The old man was not well versed in these things and was too lazy to explain them in detail. He looked towards Wu Jiang.
Wu Jiang understood and slapped his thigh, saying, "I don't know what tricks they used to get the vegetables in. As soon as we put them on the market, the old man started roasting them. The fire had just been lit when someone came and asked if it could be cheaper. The previous price of 260 coins per catty was too expensive, and there was no grade distinction. He said that when we first started trading, there were three grades, the cheapest was only 99 coins per catty, and the most expensive was only 149 coins. Why is it 260 coins now? It's too expensive. Last time, he only bought one catty to eat."
Zhou Guo was surprised. "Two hundred and sixty coins per pound, and someone is buying it?"
Wu Jiang also nodded in disbelief. "Some people bought it, but it seems not many. People bought it by the pound or half a pound. In the end, I don't know if they sold it all."
Li Gu said, "They are definitely not sold out. At 260 wen per pound, only the wealthy people in the big families can afford to eat this. Who among the ordinary people can afford to eat something so expensive?"
Zhou Guo said: "It's hard to say. Rich people have too much money to spend, so they want to eat and wear good things. It's normal. So what price did you sell it for?"
Wu Jiang smiled and said, "It's a good thing you asked Wang the butcher to follow us. When he heard that people would buy at such a price, he raised the price by ten cents each. When someone asked about it, he said that there were not many wild mushrooms in the mountains and they would soon be off the market, so they were sold at a high price. Everyone was happy to buy it. After all, the price had reached a sky-high price of 260 cents before, and now the lowest price was only 109 cents per catty, which was more than half the price. Two carts of mushrooms were sold out in more than half a day. It was really smooth!"
Zhou Guo also laughed. If she transported all the mushrooms at the back to Chengding and didn't go to Yunzhou, it would be almost the same as going out of town.
However, all eggs cannot be put in one basket. Yunzhou is much more prosperous than Chengding, and the restaurant must be bigger than Chengding. She will go there someday to check it out and take over the business here.
Wu Jiang continued, "We left the city with a large bag of money. As expected, more people came to the old place this time, specifically for the money we had. The old man was guarding the money alone, and the other party could not get in. We didn't know how long the fight lasted. In the end, the old man beat the two leaders half to death, and then these people retreated, and we returned safely."
Speaking of this, the young men couldn't help but get excited, and said one after another: "I didn't even see how he did it, the old man is really amazing."
Zhou Guo looked at the old man and smiled, "Master, as expected, there is nothing you can't accomplish when you take action. You said you wanted to teach them a lesson, and you taught them a lesson with just a flick of your finger."
The old man said, "Don't flatter me. Tell me what's going on there."
Li and Zhou Xing just came in with food. "Come on, it's late at night, eat something and talk while you eat."
Zhou Guo sat down at the table and talked while eating. Zhou Suluhu and others added to his comments from time to time. When they finished the meal, they also finished talking.
Li and his group were stunned and couldn't believe what they heard. Only then did they realize that if they had too much stuff, they could sell it to the restaurant and they could even negotiate business with such a big restaurant.
"... Two hundred coins per pound? How many are required? This is like meeting the God of Wealth!"
Everyone could not hide their excitement. This way, they would not have to worry about sales. No matter how much the villagers brought down from the mountain, they could collect it all. Not only would they make money, but the villagers could also make a lot of money.
The old man looked at Zhou Guo and felt that he was born to do this job. Even at such a young age, he didn't seem to know what fear or stage fright was. He could walk into one of the best restaurants in the city without changing his expression, with his head held high, and negotiate business with the shopkeeper.
He couldn't help but recall the time when he was not stage-frightened. It seemed that he had to be over 40 to be so calm and composed. After all, the little disciple was much better than him, and as a master, he had to support her as much as possible.
