 Chapter 469: Dividing Silver Coins

Chu Xing smirked triumphantly and held up a finger, prompting Chu Ziluo to curiously ask "Uncle Xing, is it one jin of tea leaves?"


"Exactly." Chu Xing also couldn't help but feel fortunate. "One jin of tea leaves is worth at most five hundred wen, but these pearls are something that money can't necessarily buy. Basically, every time a foreigner comes, they are immediately taken away by the stewards of those big households to complete the transaction."


"So, you took advantage of an opportunity?" Ye Muyu felt slightly worried, but she didn't show it on her face.


Upon hearing this, Chu Xing hurriedly shook his head. "How dare I? I just thought that since there were so many people at the dock and they hadn't seen this novelty of Zhuge Suo before, I could definitely sell them."


"So, I just waited on the sidelines. It was the foreigner who came to me and initiated the deal."


"And it seems like he had quite a few pearls. These ones I got are the lowest quality. Otherwise, one jin of tea leaves wouldn't even be enough to exchange for one pearl."


"Afterwards, that foreigner left on his own. I couldn't even find him, let alone attract anyone else's attention."


"It was also my good luck, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to exchange for them."


"In the future, I'll still need to be careful in business dealings, not to offend anyone. Even if you lose money, it's not as important as your life." Ye Muyu listened to him speak so casually and felt reassured, but she didn't forget to caution him.


Chu Xing scratched his head, feeling somewhat strange. Although he always called Ye Muyu 'sister-in-law,' he felt that he was not much younger than her.


Now being taken care of by her, he felt a little embarrassed but also warm inside.


"Sister-in-law, rest assured, I only dared to do it after seeing others do the same."


"Afterwards, I inquired and found out that these slightly inferior pearls often end up in the hands of some merchants."


"Not all merchants are wealthy."


"Take me for example, I've only just started doing business and have a small amount of capital. In the eyes of those major stewards, it's not enough."


"But, I'll work hard to expand the business!" Chu Xing's voice was low when he said this but his attitude was firm.


The serious expression only lasted for a few moments. Listening to the pounding outside, he couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law, what is Zhang Shu doing?"


"Making ink." Ye Muyu replied concisely.


Chu Xing was almost choked by the water he had just drunk and then he widened his eyes in shock. "Sister-in-law, am I hearing correctly? Ink? The ink used by scholars?"


"Yes, you heard correctly." Ye Muyu smiled faintly and refilled his cup with tea.


Chu Xing stared blankly for a moment, then hesitated to say, "I originally wanted to discuss with you and Heng-ge about how those foreigners are also very interested in Zhuge Suo. We can do a big business, prepare hundreds of Zhuge Suo, and exchange them for the pearls they bring."


"I didn't expect that after a few days, Brother Heng and Sister-in-law would surprise me like this."


Compared to selling ink, reselling Zhuge Suo was only a small business that could be done in spare time. Chu Xing's excitement had almost extinguished. It was true that the two were not on the same level.


He felt both relieved and happy.


Then, he opened another parcel, inside which was a money pouch.


"Sister-in-law, besides that, I also came to give you silver coins."


"During this period, I sold a total of seven hundred and six Zhuge Suo, earning two hundred and ninety-four taels, plus a few hundred copper coins."


"After deducting all the costs, it's about fifty-nine taels."


"The remaining amount is to be split between our two families, with each person getting one hundred and seventeen and a half taels."
