Chapter 396 Getting Rich
Pei Youguang even began to imagine how he would spend so much money.

This house must be built well. When the time comes, he can build seven or eight brick and tile houses, buy dozens of acres of land, and rent it to people in the village. He can just lie at home and collect rent.

Buy two more cows, one for plowing the fields and one for pulling a cart. When you have nothing to do, go for a walk around the city and buy whatever you like!
When the time came, he would buy two baskets of meat buns at a time, eat one and look at the other. If anyone dared to say anything sarcastic, he would feed that basket of buns to the dogs and make those people angry to death.

Yes, yes, yes, he is still a bachelor at this age. When he has money, he will get married. It must be a very good marriage. He must find a beautiful, young girl!
Speaking of which, Xiao Cui from the next village is pretty good. She's pretty, with a thin waist and a big butt. She looks like she's the material for giving birth to a son...

The more Pei Youguang thought about it, the more he couldn't stop smiling, and he even laughed out loud.

Seeing this, Lu Qiyan hurriedly said, "This is an excellent business. I also have connections. As long as you can provide the goods, we can eat and drink well and make a fortune together!"

"Yeah, get rich, get rich!" Pei Youguang replied subconsciously, but after a moment, he came to his senses and shook his head like a rattle again, "No, no."

"Why not?" Lu Qiyan was puzzled.

Pei Youguang sighed and lowered his voice, "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. I really don't have that much stock here. The ones I sold to you are from my spare time. I'm also thinking about raising some sheep myself and making some money."

"Well." Lu Qiyan thought for a moment and then asked, "Then would you mind introducing the supplier to me, Brother Youguang? We can go directly to the supplier to get the goods. Then we can make money together and Brother Youguang won't suffer any loss."

"This..." Pei Youguang hesitated.

"It's a profitable business. I really don't know what Brother Youguang is hesitating about." Lu Qiyan was a little unhappy on the spot. "If Brother Youguang doesn't want to do this business, I won't force it. I will just look for it myself. When I find the goods, I will do this business myself, so as not to share it with others."

As he spoke, Lu Qiyan stood up and was about to leave.

Pei Youguang panicked and stopped Lu Qiyan in a hurry, "Don't leave in such a hurry. Let me think about this."

"Then take your time to think about it. I'm very busy here and don't have time to waste with you." Lu Qiyan still insisted.

Pei Youguang saw this and simply gritted his teeth, "Okay, I'll help you get started!"

"But you talk big and say you want to do business, but do you really have the ability to do it?" Pei Youguang sobered up a little now, "You have to let me see your strength."

After all, this was a couple who were ready to quarrel over a twenty-cent raise, and their clothes looked very ordinary, so they were just ordinary farmers.

Do you really have the ability to do business outside the Great Wall?

Lu Qiyan took out the purse from his arms, opened the bag, revealing the white silver inside.

This bag is heavy, probably about twenty or thirty taels.

Pei Youguang was used to being poor and had never seen so much silver. When he saw it, his eyes lit up immediately. But after thinking for a moment, he glanced at Lu Qiyan and said, "This is not enough."

"It's not enough." Lu Qiyan said as he lifted up his clothes again and opened the secret pocket sewn on his body, revealing the edge of a stack of silver bills inside.

Just pick out one card at random and you’ll get a share of one hundred taels!
And there were probably about a dozen bills bulging inside, which meant more than a thousand taels of silver?

He actually carried so much money with him! Pei Youguang's eyes suddenly widened into copper bells, and his eyeballs almost fell out. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He looked at the silver and banknotes, and then looked at the plain-looking and ordinary-dressed Lu Qiyan and Xia Mingyue. He hurriedly bowed to them and said, "I didn't know that my elder brother and his wife were such powerful people."

"No, no." Lu Qiyan smiled, "I'm just out and about. The world is not peaceful these days, so I have to be a little more careful."

"That's what happened, that's what happened." Pei Youguang responded repeatedly, and then without any hesitation, "I'll take you two to see Manager Song now."

"Thank you." Lu Qiyan bowed slightly and went out with Xia Mingyue and Pei Youguang.

The three of them got on the ox cart and let Pei Youguang lead the way.

Along the way, Lu Qiyan and Xia Mingyue claimed to be businessmen and they also worked on the fields at home. Lu Qiyan used the alias Tian Dafu and Xia Mingyue used the alias Wang.

The two men kept asking Pei Youguang questions and roughly inquired about the situation of the shopkeeper Song he mentioned.

"In fact, I don't know much about Manager Song. I only know that he is a well-traveled merchant and has a good business."

Pei Youguang said, "And the reason I can sell this secret recipe now is that Shopkeeper Song came to me and said he had something good to sell, but it would be embarrassing for him to do such a small business, so he gave the thing to me and I sold it."

"Shopkeeper Song also specifically told me which villages have more sheep and which have ways to sell them. It's easier to buy this secret recipe, which made my business easier. Thanks to Shopkeeper Song, I've made some money these days!"

"It seems that Shopkeeper Song is a kind-hearted person?" Lu Qi Yan said.

"Probably." Pei Youguang said unconvincingly.

Although Shopkeeper Song had brought him some business and made him earn some money, so that he was not as poor as before, but when he came into contact with Shopkeeper Song on weekdays, he always felt that there was a fierce look in his eyes, as if he wanted to eat him.

Moreover, Shopkeeper Song always told him not to sell these things to outsiders, and not to publicize the matter deliberately so as to avoid letting everyone know.

But when it comes to doing business, isn’t it better if more people know about it?
Pei Youguang couldn't figure it out, and even wondered if this thing was not a good thing. He was very scared when he started selling it.

But later on, the responses from all quarters were good, and more and more people bought the products in larger and larger quantities, so Pei Youguang finally felt relieved.

I think that Shopkeeper Song just has a weird personality, there is no other problem.

As for why Pei Youguang was willing to take the couple to find Shopkeeper Song this time, it was because the couple was so wealthy, and maybe if they could really make this deal with Shopkeeper Song, he could also get some benefits.

Even if it doesn't work out, this couple is so wealthy, they should be able to give at least some reward, right?

As for Shopkeeper Song, if he can benefit from it, maybe he can be given some other business to do. If not, at most he will just say a few unpleasant words.

In short, what he does is a business with no capital investment, so he won’t lose money!

Pei Youguang thought so while leading Lu Qiyan and Xia Mingyue all the way to Dayong Town.

Shopkeeper Song lived in a house in Dayong Town. He came here twice to get things, and he remembered it clearly.
