Capítulo 18: Dai Family Caravan
"To the Dai Residence." Su Jin laughed bitterly in her heart. She had no choice but to pack her things and follow him to the intersection.
"Miss Su, please wait a moment. I'll go pull the carriage over." the servant said.
Su Jin didn't expect the little landowner to send a carriage to pick her up. She was surprised, but when she got on the carriage, she found that although the carriage was small, it was very luxurious. There was a small table in the middle with many things on it.
As he was lamenting, the carriage began to move. At first, it was better to walk on the flat road in the town, but the road outside the town was extremely bumpy. When had Su Jin ever sat in a car like this?
"Miss, this way please." It's still the same old granny who brought Su Jin to Dai Zixian's courtyard last time. Su sent you a letter and saw that Dai Zixian was still sitting at the foot of the corridor just like last time.
She walked over and sat down. There was an identical hand stove on the table. She guessed that it was prepared for her and unceremoniously held it up to warm her hands.
Dai Zi Shi's gaze was on her hands, and he asked, "How has it been recently?"
Su Jin knew he was asking about cloth, so she replied, "A new machine was added and people were hired to operate it. Now, the production has doubled."
Dai Zi Wu nodded his head and asked her to put down the teacup, indicating for Su Jin to follow him. Su Jin didn't know what was going on, so she got up and followed him through the winding corridor to the backyard.
"This is …" She couldn't help but be surprised as she saw the scene in front of her eyes.
In front of him was a small team of horses. Six cars were loaded with local specialties while another was in the air. Some of them were busy fixing the horses, and some of them were moving back and forth with some unknown items.
"Out of these, there are two other ships parked on the dock." Dai Zi Shu said.
"Is it almost ready?" Su Jin asked.
"Well, that's why I'm asking you about your progress. The caravan is expected to depart in 20 days, I wonder how many goods you'll be able to provide then?"
"According to the current progress, I should be able to provide seventy pieces." Su Jin calculated and gave the answer.
"That's enough. This is my first time exploring the market, seventy is enough." Dai Zi Shi nodded.
"Oh right, this is a deposit for you." He handed over a small bag with a gold print on it.
Su Jin took it. It was heavy in her hand. She opened it and could not help but hold her breath.
Inside the bag, there were more than ten pieces of bright yellow gold. Under the sunlight, their lustrous yellow colors gave off a hazy glow, making them look extremely beautiful.
"This is too much." Su Jin frowned.
"Not much. The profit on cloth is very high." Dai Zi said.
Seeing him turn around to look at the caravan, Su Jin knew that it was useless to say anything more and put the bag away.
When Dai Zi Shi heard the commotion, he revealed a smile, but quickly restrained himself. He turned around and looked at Su Jin, "The day before we set out, I will send someone to your house to retrieve your cloth."
Su Jin agreed to meet him at the right time and quickly took her leave.
Looking at Su Jin's retreating back, Dai Zi Shi subconsciously touched the thumb ring on his hand.
After returning home and greeting everyone else, Su Jin returned to her room alone and locked the door. Then, she sat down at the table and opened the bag Dai Zi Wu gave her, pouring out all the gold inside.
"One, two, three … Twelve, thirteen. There are thirteen of them in total. " She counted them one by one.
It was really a huge sum of money. Ever since she came to this world, Su Jin had never seen such a large amount of money. Now that there were 13 taels of gold here, it made her feel a little helpless.
She didn't know what the little landowner was thinking, but he had actually given her so much money. The landowner's son really was an idiot.
Her fingers drummed on the table as she tried to figure out how to spend the money.
"Little Jin?" Suddenly, her door was knocked, accompanied by a question.
It was Tan Jun. Su Jin reacted and asked through the door, "What's the matter?"
"Nothing, are you free?" Tan Jun calmly asked.
Su Jin quickly kept the gold and put it on her body. When she opened the door, Tan Junwas leaning against the door, and his spirits were lifted when he saw her coming out.
"Why?" she asked Tan Jun.
"Tan Jun looked at her and mysteriously smiled. He suddenly extended his hands forward and smiled." This is for you to eat. "
Su Jin took a closer look. It turned out to be a fruit, similar to an egg. It could be considered a rare fruit.
"Where did you get it?" Su Jin asked.
Tan Jun didn't answer and just told her to hurry up and take it. Su Jin hesitated for a moment before accepting it. Seeing this, Tan Jun laughed happily: "This is very delicious. Little Jin, hurry up and taste it."
When Su Jin saw his expression, an uncomfortable feeling welled up in her. She looked behind Tan Jun and saw her little sister. She quickly called her over.
"Little sister, come eat this. It's very delicious." She turned the fruit around and handed it to her sister.
The greedy little girl cheered, took the fruit and ran away happily. Tan Jun froze, his heart was a bit angry, but he still asked doubtfully, "It wasn't easy for me to get my hands on this fruit, why aren't you eating it?"
Hearing his reproachful tone, Su Jin felt even more uncomfortable and said half-heartedly, "Toothache, I don't want to eat it."
"Then I'll need to see a doctor." Tan Jun hurriedly answered.
"Yes." Su Jin agreed without a doubt, showing a trace of impatience. Seeing that, Tan Jun didn't say anything else and left in embarrassment.
"This kid has no good intentions." Angry words resounded in his mind.
"It's only been two days since you were released, did you not hold back anymore?" Su Jin said coldly.
"That's right, I'm just a normal suspect." Number 1 immediately lowered his voice.
Su Jin could not deny that. A few days ago, Number 1 was too noisy, and he got in touch with her. Today, he returned to the Dai Residence and released her. Unexpectedly, he started to get restless again.
"I already said, don't judge the people around me. I have my own judgement on what they are like." Su Jin warned Number 1 once again.
"Okay, okay." In order not to be cut off, Number 1 could only obediently promise.
Su Jin was very satisfied with Number 1's attitude. He turned around and took out a piece of gold. "Your energy supply."
"Master, you're so kind!" Number One was overjoyed and hurriedly changed her energy. She felt that she had become a lot richer, and she had initially wanted to find an opportunity to remind her master that her energy source was almost gone. She did not expect her master to be so proactive and see her as a kind-hearted master.
After getting the money, Su Jin immediately got another loom, let her second brother finish modifying it with her, and then went to invite a woman from nearby to weave cloth at home. Her wages were still calculated according to Tan Jun's mother's standards.
