Early the next morning, Xie Jiaojiao got up.
After simply tidying up, eating the breakfast prepared by Sun Ruhua, I was ready to go out.
Xie Zhiyi stopped Xie Jiaojiao and whispered in Xie Jiaojiao's ear: "Sister, can you buy an embroidery needle for me when you go to town today?"
Xie Jiaojiao looked at him: "Don't you have some at home?"
Xie Zhiyi shook his head: "I only have one at home. I want to bend it and use it to fish with Brother Niu."
Xie Jiaojiao touched his head: "It's winter now, why are you still fishing?"
Xie Zhiyi acted coquettishly, but Xie Jiaojiao had no choice but to nod: "Sure, I'll bring it back to you when the time comes."
Sun Ruhua urged from the side: "Why are you still dawdling! Your Uncle Li's bullock cart will leave later."
"Leave now."
Xie Zhiyi sent Xie Jiaojiao outside the courtyard gate. When he saw that the person was gone, he turned around and went home.
"What did you just say to your sister?"
Xie Zhiyi clasped his hands behind his back, like a little adult: "This is a secret."
Sun Ruhua smiled, carrying the basket and preparing to go out: "Mom, I'm going out. The rice is in the pot. You can scoop it out and eat it yourself."
Xie Zhiyi saw the scented wax money paper in the basket and knew that she was going to pay homage to her father again, so he responded: "Mom, you come back early."
Sun Ruhua carried her things and went out.
When they arrived in town, Xie Jiaojiao took the basket and went directly to Qingfeng Tower.
As soon as he saw her coming, the waiter immediately shouted: "Shopkeeper, Miss Xie is here!"
In less than a moment, shopkeeper Chen came out with a smile.
"Thank you, miss, you are finally here. If you don't come again, I will have to go to your home to find you."
Xie Jiaojiao raised a smile: "Shopkeeper Chen, long time no see. I brought something else today and want to do business with you."
Shopkeeper Chen immediately became interested.
Xie Jiaojiao took off the cloth on the basket, revealing the brown sugar inside.
"Is this brown sugar?"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "We made it at home, shopkeeper Chen will try it."
Shopkeeper Chen looked at her in surprise: "Can you make brown sugar?"
Xie Jiaojiao didn't answer. She took out the knife she carried with her and cut a little bit for shopkeeper Chen to taste.
Shopkeeper Chen's eyes lit up as soon as he took the candy into his mouth: "This is so sweet!"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded. Because this batch was carefully grown at home, it was indeed sweeter than the one in the mountains last year.
"Last time I heard that Shopkeeper Chen's boss is a grocery store, so I was wondering if this thing could be sold in your boss's shop?"
"Girl, do you want to cooperate with us and sell together? Or do you want to sell to us according to the quantity?"
When Xie Jiaojiao heard this, she immediately replied: "Anything is fine!"
Shopkeeper Chen touched the beard on his chin and thought for a moment: "How many more do Miss Xie have at home?"
Xie Jiaojiao thought for a while and replied: "It's less than three hundred catties."
"so much?"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded, thinking that Shopkeeper Chen’s boss’s shop couldn’t accept so much, but Shopkeeper Chen said: “If there are so many, Miss Xie, just sell them to our boss according to the quantity, which is more suitable for you. .”
Xie Jiaojiao nodded, this is the best, she can get the money at once, and can do many things.
In this case, shopkeeper Chen gestured to Xie Jiaojiao and asked her to go upstairs.
Xie Jiaojiao followed, and when they got upstairs, shopkeeper Chen went to get pens, ink, paper and inkstones.
Although brown sugar is relatively expensive, the price is basically set in the market. It is less than three hundred kilograms, which sounds like a lot, but for their shop, it is not enough to sell.
Therefore, he can make the decision and buy this thing directly.
After a few moments of drafting the contract, shopkeeper Chen mentioned the price.
"You decide. I don't know the selling price of brown sugar in the market. I believe you won't cheat me."
Hearing what she said, shopkeeper Chen immediately assured: "That's not possible. I have been in business for so many years. If I didn't have this bit of integrity, my boss's brand would have been ruined long ago."
Xie Jiaojiao nodded.
Shopkeeper Chen thought for a while and said, "In that case, I will buy the girl two cents for each kilogram of brown sugar. Does she think it's appropriate?"
Two cents? Last year, she only sold two yuan for retail sales!
"Okay!" Xie Jiaojiao quickly agreed, signed the contract a few times, and then said: "Shopkeeper, I have a batch of soy sauce at home. If you are free these days, you can arrange it." People come to the house to pull her."
This is what makes shopkeeper Chen the happiest: "Sure, I will arrange for someone to go there tomorrow and collect the brown sugar and fermented bean curd together. I wonder if Miss Xie will make it at home this year?" "
Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "I did."
Shopkeeper Chen ordered ten altars again.
Now that the purpose of coming here has been achieved and an extra business has been made, Xie Jiaojiao did not stay any longer. Shopkeeper Chen also prepared some snacks for her. Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said: "Then bring me today This piece of brown sugar should be given to Shopkeeper Chen."
This made shopkeeper Chen feel embarrassed.
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said: "How many snacks have you given me! Tomorrow, I will wait at home for you to arrange for someone to come over."
After saying that, shopkeeper Chen didn't wait for another refusal, put the snacks into the basket, and left with it.
Shopkeeper Chen looked at this large piece of brown sugar and saw the waiter looking at him and smiled: "Cut this brown sugar. When we close in the evening, everyone will share a portion and take it back to the family to taste."
The waiter was very happy after hearing this! Since it was still early and there were not many diners in the store, I went to the backyard to find a knife and prepared to divide it now.
Shopkeeper Chen is fine now, so he just cuts it up with him and wraps the other in oil paper.
When Jiang Weinan and his two followers came in, they happened to see them busy.
Shopkeeper Chen looked at Jiang Weinan and immediately put down his food and asked, "What kind of dishes does the young master want to eat today?"
Jiang Weinan glanced at the waiter, pointed with his fan and asked, "What are you doing?"
Shopkeeper Chen pointed to the brown sugar on the table: "No, Miss Xie just came and brought some brown sugar. I plan to divide it and leave it to the shop assistants..."
"Has Xie Jiaojiao been here?" Jiang Weinan interrupted.
Shopkeeper Chen nodded: "No, as soon as we left, you guys... Hey, young master, where are you going? What are you eating for lunch..."
Jiang Weinan turned around and walked out, and his two followers immediately followed him.
When we arrived at the entrance of the town, we saw Xie Jiaojiao beside the bullock cart.
Xie Jiaojiao was curled up and taking a nap against the side of the bullock cart. The family had been very busy for the past few months, and she was a little tired. She always felt like she was sleeping without waking up. Taking advantage of this little free time, take a break.
Xie Jiaojiao, who had her eyes closed, felt a shadow suddenly appear in front of her. She frowned and opened her eyes.
Then he saw Jiang Weinan in front of him and the two followers behind him.
I immediately felt a little speechless. I hadn't been to the town for a few months, and when I came, I met people I didn't want to meet.
"Young Master Jiang, I don't have the energy to play catch-up with you today. If you have anything to say, you can just say it. I listen, but if you want to catch me and beat me up, I will definitely disagree. …”
