Chapter 99 Selling Fox Fur
"Today is a good day, everything I wish for will come true..." Jiang Youzhen hummed happily.
Hmm! No! Every day should be a good day. Jiang Youzhen stretched his legs and felt very comfortable.
"What song is this? It's so weird?" Zhao Wei, who was driving the car, asked curiously.
"Nothing, I'm just singing for fun." Jiang Youzhen laughed.
"By the way, was the sales of fox fur successful?" she changed the subject.
"I was just about to tell you about this. The sales are pretty good. This fox fur is very pure and fine, so it will definitely sell for a good price. I've already sold you the fox meat, but it's a bit smelly and not worth much. But I was lucky. A wealthy family was willing to try it, and I sold it for two taels of silver."
Fox meat is so cheap? But for Jiang Youzhen now, that is just a small amount of money.
"Brother Wei, do you know how much deer antlers can be sold for?" Jiang Youzhen thought about it and asked Zhao Wei.
I have been selling to Manager Liu. Although I don't think he is a very evil person, I still want to know the market conditions and make some comparisons.
"You also got deer antlers?" Zhao Wei was surprised. He turned to look at Jiang Youzhen with envy on his face.
"Where? I just asked, maybe I'll come across it in the future. Last time I went to the clinic to get medicine for my dad, I saw someone buying deer antlers. They seemed quite expensive."
Jiang Youzhen didn't want to reveal too much in front of Zhao Wei. He was so small and looked good but was useless!
Money can attract people! She always believed that most people could keep their original intentions, but that was just because the temptation was not strong enough.
"That's right! It's amazing that you have fox fur, but deer antlers are just something you can only dream about. We have sika deer in Wushan, and I've seen them. But sika deer are very agile and run fast. My archery skills are average, and it's hard to hit one that moves too fast."
Zhao Wei said this with some regret. It's not that he had never encountered it before, but he just didn't have the ability to catch it.
"And it's rare to come across velvet antlers. They usually grow in spring and summer, and rarely in winter. If it's two-bar velvet antlers, they're very valuable, but it also depends on the quality. Three-bar velvet antlers are much inferior and their medicinal value is not that good."
This was the first time Zhao Wei started to talk a lot. He had been very calm before, but it seemed that now that we were talking about something that interested him.
"If you really come across winter deer antlers, I heard they are even more valuable. This summer, I met a hunter who was quite skilled. He hunted a deer and cut off a pair of two-bar antlers. They were a little old, but I still sold them for four hundred taels of silver."
Jiang Youzhen was delighted. He had picked up winter deer antlers, and they were of good quality. At least the antlers felt soft and tender. Although they were two-bar antlers, they were a little small, probably because they had grown out not long ago.
In other words, this pair of deer antlers was definitely worth more than four hundred taels, she knew that.
I wanted to ask about the price of bezoar, but it would be too deliberate to keep asking. When I see Shopkeeper Liu, I will take out the velvet antler first. I will know if he has deceived me or not.
The ox cart soon arrived at the town, before dawn.
After entering the town, Zhao Wei parked the ox cart in front of a familiar coffin shop. Jiang Youzhen was speechless.
This really made people feel a little uncomfortable, especially when she first came here, she was almost nailed alive in the coffin.
"Let's go! The shop is on the west side of the market." Zhao Wei said as he took the lead and walked in front, not far from the coffin shop.
"I have asked him before, but he said he would look at the quality. I am confident that this fur is worth at least 150 or 160 taels. I know him too well to raise the price. Although he is fair, it is better for us to raise the price a little more. Just raise it by 5 to 10 taels. If you raise it more, you will make a profit. If you don't raise it more, it doesn't matter."
Jiang Youzhen was surprised. He didn't expect that Zhao Wei, who looked honest on the surface, was actually quite shrewd.
This is also good. The talented person won't suffer any loss, and my second sister will be safe if she follows him in the future.
Soon we arrived at the shop he mentioned. It wasn't a big shop, but there were quite a few furs inside, many of which were hung on the wall, and there were also some living things.
"Huh? Brother Zhao is here?" When the shopkeeper saw Zhao Wei, his eyes suddenly burst into bright light.
Jiang Youzhen felt relieved when he saw this. It seemed that fox fur was still rare.
"Manager Wang, I have brought it today as promised to you before. Would you like to take a look?" Zhao Wei went straight to the point without any polite words.
Shopkeeper Wang smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. "Then please come in and sit down. I'll serve you tea."
Of course, good things cannot be traded in front of everyone. Jiang Youzhen followed Zhao Wei to the inner room, and Manager Wang came soon.
"Who is this young man?" When Shopkeeper Wang saw Jiang Youzhen, he looked at him vaguely.
"He is a good friend, his last name is Jiang. If he has furs to sell in the future, please give him a fair price, Shopkeeper Wang."
"That's right! I'm a fair and honest place, who wouldn't say I'm fair? You know that too, and you introduced her here, how can I cheat her? But your little brother looks weak and handsome, so I thought he was a scholar, but I didn't expect he was a hunter?"
Jiang Youzhen cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for the compliment. Meet Shopkeeper Wang!"
The three of them exchanged a few words of greeting, and then Zhao Wei unfolded the bag he was carrying on his back, and Jiang Youzhen looked over.
The snow-white fox fur without any other colors was scattered in front of Jiang Youzhen's eyes. It was the first time that Jiang Youzhen saw the processed fur, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch it.
The tentacles are soft and delicate, and the luster looks expensive and elegant.
She thought of the first time she met Tong Huaian in the carriage, when Tong Huaian was wearing a fox fur coat. The fur of a fox is so small, so wouldn't a fur coat that big have to be made up of 20 or 30 foxes?
Hiss~ He gasped, this guy really knows how to enjoy himself! A fox fur coat must cost at least three or four thousand taels of silver?
But in the end, the fox fur actually fell into Xiao Wuzi's hands. How could Xiao Wuzi's wild boar eat the fine bran? Did he know how to cherish it? He was just a rough guy, so why not give it to himself? What a waste of natural resources.
"Manager Wang, take a look, what do you think?" Zhao Wei was very confident, because Manager Wang's trembling beard had already revealed his mood at the moment.
My heart was excited and my hands were shaking. This fox fur was really a good thing! I had never seen such a good thing.
"No need to say anything more. One hundred and seventy taels, how about that? But it's more expensive than what Zhang San sent before. His piece is a little bigger than yours!"
"His piece was a bit mottled. I saw it with my own eyes, and you gave him one hundred and sixty taels!" Zhao Wei had an idea in mind, he was unmoved, and then he winked at Jiang Youzhen.
Jiang Youzhen immediately understood, "Shopkeeper Wang, I came here because Brother Wei said your prices are fair. I have a familiar shopkeeper in the county. I don't need to say much about whether this fur is good or not. I believe that the shopkeeper will definitely give a high price."
