"Thank you, girl. I've been waiting for you in the store for almost a month, but you haven't come to give me an answer. So, I'll find it myself!"
Xie Jiaojiao slapped her head. She only thought about making the soy sauce, but she forgot about this problem.
Quickly let the two of them sit down.
"Look at my bad memory, I'm really sorry."
Shopkeeper Chen waved his hands, originally thinking that since her family and his young master were already married, he might as well just make it clear that Qingfeng Building belonged to the Jiang family's property.
But she also thought about Xie Jiaojiao going to the young master to cancel her engagement, and was afraid that if she told him, the business would be ruined, so she held back and didn't say anything.
Xie Jiaojiao asked: "Has Shopkeeper Chen asked your boss about this?"
"That's natural!" Thinking about when he asked his master at that time, his master was very happy and said that he didn't expect that his daughter-in-law had such ability!
It’s just that the color on the face of the lady next to me was a little ugly at that time!
Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "Today is not very convenient. If not tomorrow, I will go to town to find Shopkeeper Chen. Can we sign a contract or something?"
Shopkeeper Chen immediately waved his hand: "How can I ask you to make a trip? I'm here. I brought all the documents and everything."
Sun Ruhua listened and immediately put away all the dishes on the table.
Shopkeeper Chen took out the receipt and handed it to Xie Jiaojiao: "Miss Xie, look, these are the two drafts I drafted. Do you think they are appropriate?"
How could Xie Jiaojiao recognize the characters of this era? Even the words "Qingfenglou" were spoken by passers-by. The characters of this era were very different from what she had learned. Some of them could be recognized, while others she could not recognize at all. Can't recognize it.
"How about Shopkeeper Chen read it to me?"
Shopkeeper Chen slapped his head: "Look, I didn't turn around, blame me!"
After shopkeeper Chen finished speaking, he took the paper and started reading. Xie Jiaojiao nodded as she listened. The price was calculated based on the price she sold to Qingfenglou last month.
Xie Jiaojiao is quite satisfied. If the wholesale price is this, it is still very good.
The two made a deposit, and Xie Jiaojiao said: "I still have a few jars of the last one here, but if I still want it, I may have to wait another month, right?"
"That's okay! Let's use these jars to get this reputation out first. Later, as the output increases, more people will buy it!"
Shopkeeper Chen said with a smile as he put the receipt away and put it in his arms. If he took the receipt back, he would be rewarded with more silver.
Seeing that the matter was done, shopkeeper Chen was about to leave in a hurry and asked Xie Jiaojiao to put the remaining soy sauce on him.
Sun Ruhua hurried over, and Xie Jiaojiao asked the two of them if they had eaten. Although there was no big fish or meat at home, there was no problem in eating enough.
Shopkeeper Chen waved his hand: "I'm not going to eat anymore. The restaurant is still busy. And even if we are eating this meal, we are going to invite the girl. There is no reason to ask the girl to do it. You and your family will go to town some other day. You and your family will definitely go to town." Come and sit in our Qingfeng Building."
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and nodded: "Then I won't leave you two alone."
Sun Ruhua also brought three jars of soy sauce and handed them to the waiter and shopkeeper Chen.
Shopkeeper Chen took out five taels of silver and gave it to Xie Jiaojiao: "The extra money will be used as a deposit later."
Xie Jiaojiao was not polite and nodded: "Sure!"
After sending the two people out of the yard, Xie Jiaojiao turned around and gave the money to Sun Ruhua. Sun Ruhua did not accept the money for the first time: "Forget it, Mom has thought about it. From now on, you can keep this money. Mom needs money, Mom." Ask you to get it!”
Xie Jiaojiao was unwilling, but still wanted to give it to her, but Sun Ruhua still refused: "Take it, you know someone well in your heart, and it would not be good to leave it here with my mother, lest you become timid in doing anything."
After Sun Ruhua said this, Xie Jiaojiao no longer refused: "Okay, if mom needs money, let me know."
Sun Ruhua nodded and pulled Xie Jiaojiao: "Let's go and continue eating!"
After saying that, she felt a lot more relieved. Firstly, the thing was finally sold, and secondly, the financial rights were also handed over, which made her feel much relieved.
Everyone in the village saw Shopkeeper Chen's carriage parked in the village. Because the road to Xie Jiaojiao's house was not very wide, the carriage could not park there, so the carriage stopped in the middle of the village, which was more spacious. place.
Seeing the carriage leaving, many people in the village were holding meals and talking.
"This Xie family actually knows such a respectable person!"
"Yes, I see that they have been busy some time ago and are making new food. Maybe the one who just came is the shopkeeper of Qingfeng Building."
…
Everyone is very envious.
Of course Xie Laoer also saw it here. The knot in his heart made him very uncomfortable. He went back and let out some air. Zhou Cuihong still held her stomach and didn't say a word.
In the afternoon, Xie Jiaojiao thought about it. The sugar cane on the mountain used to be only one or two acres of land, but now it is one or two acres. After thinking about it, if they get it all by themselves, they might have to peel off the sugar cane again. After much deliberation, all the rice has been planted recently, and many people in the village are relatively leisurely.
Therefore, Sun Ruhua was called to discuss: "Mom, why don't we ask people in the village to help us harvest this sugar cane, so as not to delay the next planting time? Secondly, pressing sugar cane also requires a lot of labor. If we do it ourselves It’s done, maybe my hand is broken, and it’s not all done yet.”
Sun Ruhua felt that what Xie Jiaojiao said made sense and asked, "Then I go directly to the village to call someone?"
Xie Jiaojiao thought for a while and shook her head: "You stay at home, I'll go. I'll bring something to the village chief's house later."
Sun Ruhua thought for a while and nodded: "That's OK!" She held some words in her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and still didn't say anything.
Xie Jiaojiao took out part of the snacks that shopkeeper Chen had brought just now, put the only small piece of sugar cane left last year into a basket, and carried it towards the village chief's house.
On the way, she saw Xie Kun from afar. Xie Kun probably also saw her and ran back to the house and closed the door.
Xie Jiaojiao didn't take this matter to heart. To her, these people were just insignificant people.
Arrive at the village chief's house.
Wang Qiushi, the village chief's daughter-in-law, saw Xie Jiaojiao coming and said angrily: "Miss Xie, will something happen to your family again?"
…
Xie Jiaojiao handed over the basket in her hand: "Aunt Wang, how can I have nothing to do every day? No, thinking about the village chief who helped us a lot before, I want to come and thank you in person."
Wang Qiushi opened the cloth on the basket. He originally thought that the Xie family was in such a state of poverty, and he didn't expect to give anything good, but when he brought it, it was filled with candies and snacks. His eyes immediately lit up. She raised her head and looked at Xie Jiaojiao, her expression changed: "Oh, you sit down, you sit down, I'll call your uncle, he had lunch at noon and is dozing off!"
Xie Jiaojiao found a stool and sat down. After a while, she saw Chen Shouren coming out, adjusting his clothes.
"Xie family, what's going on today?"
"Oh, what are you talking about? I came here to thank you."
Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "Village Chief, Aunt Wang is right. I am here specifically to thank you for your help to my family the past few times."
The village chief waved his hand and said righteously: "This is just my duty."
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and then said: "Village Chief, now that the farm work is over, I want to find some people in the village to help my family with some work, and I also want to ask the village chief to help inform."
Chen Shouren was puzzled: "I think your land has been planted?"
Xie Jiaojiao explained: "I want to ask people in the village to help me collect the things in the two acres of land at the foot of the mountain over there."
Wang Qiushi, the village chief's daughter-in-law, also became interested when she heard this: "Xie family, what exactly are you planting at the foot of the mountain?"
"It's sugar cane."
What!
The village chief was a little surprised, it turned out to be sugar cane!
Xie Jiaojiao doesn't intend to hide it. If possible, everyone in the village can grow this thing. However, she will have conditions for those who are willing to grow it.
