Chapter 711 Doing Something Big (4)_1
Shuang Xi felt a wave of worry. Ms. Pei had scolded him and yet the young master was still so happy. Never before had the young master indulged anyone like this.
Shen Songming laughed as he put away the letter. He too had often offered his help to transport her goods, and the moment he mentioned chartering a ship, she would immediately write to scold him. It seemed that when he went over, the bomb would be ready for him. While canal transport was convenient and fast, it wasn’t as safe as overland routes. Furthermore, he was planning a trip to Myanmar, and since that was the case, he would naturally be fully equipped before setting off to ensure his return in one piece.
He also wrote to tell her that Pei Houli, Pei Wenbo, and those from Kong’s had settled in Capital Jingcheng, and that Fang Fu and Fang Liuming would be keeping an eye on them if anything happened.
Yet Pei Qin was no longer concerned with whether or not there would be trouble at Old Pei’s House; after secluding herself for over half a month, she finally completed the equipment that Shen Songming needed.
More and more duck eggs were being transported over, shocking the townspeople. With so many duck eggs, all to be made into preserved eggs, where would they be sold? Even if it were the Mid-Autumn festival, what if they couldn’t sell them all? Wouldn’t they be stuck with them?
When the Fang family heard about it, Old Scholar Fang came over. Now that Fang Fang’s marriage was approaching, Lady Yu and Fang Li came with gifts to extend an invitation.
When Fang Li first heard about it, he thought it was an exaggeration, but seeing that the rooms were full of preserved eggs, neatly stacked, one batch per room, he was flabbergasted, "You’ve made so many preserved eggs... where are they going to be sold?"
Old Scholar Fang and Lady Yu were also visibly shocked.
"We’re keeping aside goods for the Wang family and will send the rest to the south. It’s a good opportunity to go along with Shen Songming’s caravan," Pei Qin explained with an "oh".
