Chapter 355 Departure to Qingzhou
After agreeing on this, Lin He couldn't wait to invite back the dozen or so carpenters who had worked on the thresher to continue making the machine.
He went to the county town to sell threshers for two days, and then went to Fuzhou to sell them for three days.
In the end, a total of forty-three threshers were sold, leaving seventeen.
Over the past few days, the dozen or so people have made another 24 threshing machines. After settling their expenses, Lin He decided to take these threshing machines to Qingzhou.
While enjoying the cool breeze, Lin He brought up the matter, "Including the previous seventeen threshers, we now have a total of forty-one threshers. At the moment, it seems that Fuzhou City will not be easy to sell. I want to go to Qingzhou."
"No, how old are you? How dare you go to Qingzhou alone? Aren't you afraid of encountering problems on the road?" Xu immediately refused.
"I'm fourteen years old this year. In two years, I will be old enough to get married. If I don't build a career and make more money before then, no woman will be willing to marry me in the future?" As he said this, He Zhenzhen's pretty little face appeared in front of Lin He.
"That won't work. If you were older, or had traveled far away, it would be fine for you to go to Qingzhou. But you have never been out of Fuzhou. How can we feel at ease if you go alone now?" Xu still disagreed.
"Then...then how about Dad come with me?" Lin He was anxious. The thresher was already made, he couldn't just leave it at home and not sell it!
"I...I've never been far away." Lin Jingce said a little stiffly.
"But if I keep these threshers until next year, they will be hard to sell. I must sell them this year." Lin He's tone became anxious.
"Xiaohe, don't be anxious. Have you ever thought about how to transport so many threshers to Qingzhou? It will cost a lot of money just to hire a horse-drawn carriage, right?" Shen Wanning asked.
"I've thought about all this. We can go by water and get off at the Shayang County wharf next door, and then disembark directly at the Qingzhou wharf." Lin He did some research.
"How about this, if you have made up your mind, I will accompany you to Qingzhou." It happened that she had never been to Qingzhou, so she decided to take the opportunity to investigate the situation there this time, hoping that she could do business there in the future.
Lin He said with joy, "That's great, thank you, aunt." Then he turned to Xu, "Now Dad and Mom should be relieved, right?"
Aunt Zhang knew she couldn't stop Shen Wanning, so she said, "I'm worried about either of you going out. How about this, when you go to Qingzhou, take a few more people with you, so we can feel more at ease."
Shen Wanning nodded. "Okay, tomorrow I'll ask Chen Zihao and Xiao San and the others if they're willing to go to Qingzhou with me."
She and Lin He couldn't move those things, so it would be better to bring some people to help move the thresher.
"Okay, we'll feel at ease if you take Chen Zihao with you." Aunt Zhang said in a slightly slower tone.
Lin Jingce gave a few more warnings, "Wan Ning, Xiao He, you must pay attention to safety."
Aunt Zhang nodded and said, "What the boss said makes sense. I guess none of you have been to Qingzhou before? If you're unfamiliar with the roads, you must walk with everyone else when you're out there. Don't get separated, and don't get into conflicts with others. Remember that?"
"Don't worry, grandma. I've remembered it. Harmony is the most important thing in doing business." Lin He said.
After the matter was settled, Shen Wanning asked Chen Zihao the next day, and they were all willing to go to Qingzhou with her.
After packing up, the group took the thresher and first went to Shayang County, and then took a boat from Shayang County to Qingzhou.
The water route is much faster than the land route. They arrived in just one day and one night, a journey that would normally take three days.
As they were getting off the boat, Lin He muttered, "Looks like we're not too far from Qingzhou! Aunt, what did you say about that boss wanting to join us last time? Can we agree to it?"
Shen Wanning knocked on his head. "You forgot, we still have to go from Daqing Village to Shayang County! It will take a whole day on the road."
"Yeah, then forget it! Oh, it's a pity that the milk tea shop is doing such a good business, but we can only open a branch in Fuzhou." Lin He's tone was full of regret when he said this.
"That may not be the case. You can either dig another branch from the Yangtze River that leads directly to our Daqing Town. Or you can build multiple fruit farms in other places in the future and expand Mingyue Tower's business to all parts of the country." Shen Wanning mentioned casually.
"Well, I think it's more cost-effective to dig branches. There are many cities along the Yangtze River! If we dig through, our fruits can be transported to many places along the river." Lin He thought.
Shen Wanning didn't comment. It all depended on Lin He's own actions. Daqing Town's current fruit production certainly wasn't enough to supply so many cities. If they were to supply them, they would have to continue growing fruit. Furthermore, digging through branches wasn't something that could be done overnight.
After getting off the boat, Shen Wanning rented a warehouse near the dock to store these threshers.
After asking passers-by, they booked a room at the best inn, and then went to stroll around Qingzhou City.
Shen Wanning was mainly looking at the business situation here, while Lin He was looking at where there were many people. He wanted to find a place with many people to demonstrate how to use the thresher.
Qingzhou City is slightly larger than Fuzhou City and has a larger population, but the layout of the city is similar.
After strolling for a while, Shen Wanning and Lin He went their separate ways.
Since I have come to Qingzhou, I naturally have to buy some gifts for my family.
Shen Wanning walked into a rouge shop. Chen Zihao and others were waiting for her outside the shop.
She carefully selected various colored lip balms and spotted a soap from Zuihongzhuang. Judging from the packaging, it must be a product from Daqing Town.
"What is that?" Shen Wanning asked, pointing at the soap.
The shop manager smiled flatteringly and quickly introduced, "Miss, you have good taste. This is soap. You can use it for washing your face, bathing, etc. And washing your face or bathing with soap is very clean. It not only whitens your skin, but also has a floral scent."
"Oh? Is it really that magical? How much does this soap cost?" Shen Wanning continued to ask.
"This soap is not expensive, only four taels of silver a box. It was shipped from Fuzhou. I heard that the ladies there all use this soap to wash their faces and bathe!"
Shen Wanning was slightly surprised. Fuzhou and Qingzhou are adjacent to each other and so close, but the prices are twice as different.
It seems that the two bosses made quite a lot of money after wholesale from her. No wonder they wholesale in large quantities every month.
"Forget it, it's a bit expensive. I still want these two boxes of lip balm! Please pack them for me." Shen Wanning handed over the two boxes of lip balm in her hand.
The man felt a little regretful, but still enthusiastically helped her pack the two boxes of lip balm.
