Under Xie Jiaojiao's arrangement, everyone was assigned what to do in an orderly manner.
Last year, Xie Jiaojiao planted four acres of sugar cane, and her family made a lot of brown sugar from the sugar cane. Xie Jiaojiao estimated it based on last year's ratio, and it was at least a thousand kilograms!
A pound of two cents of silver, a thousand pounds of brown sugar, is two hundred taels!
What is the concept of two hundred taels? In a small village like this, as long as a family is free from illness and pain, they can almost live in peace for the rest of their lives!
Everyone looked at it with eager eyes!
Many people even regretted why they didn't take this matter seriously last year!
Next came the village chief's house, which was all pressed by Xie Jiaojiao. The amount of brown sugar produced was almost the same as that of Xie Jiaojiao's house last year.
Because basically every household cultivates two acres of land, the amount of brown sugar produced is about the same.
Last year, it took almost half a month for everyone to finish everything at home. This was because there were so many people doing the work.
The warehouse is full of brown sugar!
The families who planted sugar cane watched the sugar cane boil into brown sugar, with smiles on their faces. This winter seemed not to be so cold anymore, and they even thought about how to have a good year.
On the day when all the brown sugar was put into storage, Xie Jiaojiao went to town. Firstly, she wanted to deliver fermented bean curd to Shopkeeper Chen. Secondly, she wanted to discuss the sale of the brown sugar with Shopkeeper Chen so that the villagers who followed the planting could get the money earlier.
When she went there, shopkeeper Chen was telling the merchants about the dry goods in her home!
Xie Jiaojiao happened to bump into it, and shopkeeper Chen introduced her: "Miss Xie, this is Boss Gao, Gao Shen, a merchant from the north. He visits the north and south several times every year. Your dry goods are exactly what he wants! "
Xie Jiaojiao glanced at Gao Shen. He was very strong. Now in winter, he was dressed like a northerner. He looked different from them. He looked a bit like the clothes of ethnic minorities. He looked like a very honest merchant. .
Xie Jiaojiao almost extended her hand for a handshake, but when she realized what she was doing, she immediately cupped her hands and clasped her fists.
"Boss Gao, nice to meet you!"
Gao Shen was stunned by her offer, and then he immediately laughed: "Miss Xie is really... um, free and easy."
Xie Jiaojiao smiled: "Then if you have time tomorrow, you can come and take a look at my batch of goods."
Gao Shen immediately handed over his hand: "Definitely."
When shopkeeper Chen heard what he said, he immediately stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Then it's settled."
Gao Shen nodded in agreement.
Randomly said to Shopkeeper Chen: "The batch of wine you helped me find last time, you have to help me find more this time!"
Shopkeeper Chen led the people to sit down, with a promise on his face.
After greeting Gao Shen, shopkeeper Chen hurried back to greet Xie Jiaojiao.
The waiter had already taken the bean curd to the back kitchen and came out at this time and returned the basket to Xie Jiaojiao.
"Shopkeeper Chen, I have already made this year's brown sugar. Do you think your employer will still collect it this year?"
As soon as she finished speaking, shopkeeper Chen nodded vigorously: "Collect it, collect it. If you don't come, I will go look for you! The brown sugar sold well last year, and I have long wanted to ask you when will this batch be produced this year?" Can come out."
When Xie Jiaojiao heard what he said, she felt relieved and said with a smile: "There is more brown sugar this year, about three thousand kilograms. I wonder if your boss, Shopkeeper Chen, can eat it? If not..."
"Of course!" Shopkeeper Chen interrupted Xie Jiaojiao.
"The brown sugar you sold to our boss last year was not available in many of our stores, and it was sold out in just a day or two. You only have 3,000 kilograms of it, and it can't withstand the sales of our boss."
Shopkeeper Chen said this, how could Xie Jiaojiao question his words: "Shopkeeper Chen, if you are free tomorrow, please arrange for someone to come and take care of him."
Shopkeeper Chen responded immediately.
Then he said: "I asked you to expand the scale of soy sauce before?"
"Don't worry, as long as next year, we will take care of enough."
Shopkeeper Chen then touched his beard and nodded, then turned around and paid Xie Jiaojiao the money for the bean curd.
When going back, she passed by a vendor selling hairpins and thought that the silver hairpin she bought for Sun Ruhua last time was pawned by Xie Zhili, so she thought about buying another one for Sun Ruhua.
But I was in a hurry today, so I didn’t bring so much money. Seeing how cheap it was at this vendor, I spent a few pennies to buy a wooden hairpin. This wooden hairpin smelled of a faint woody fragrance, and I put it in my arms. Inside, I saw a vendor selling finished cloth shoes nearby. Thinking of Sun Ruhua's pair of fully patched shoes, I estimated the size and bought a pair each for Sun Ruhua, Xie Zhiyi, and myself.
He put the shoes he bought into his backpack and was about to go back when he turned around and saw Jiang Weinan running down the street being chased by a woman.
It’s unsightly to look at, it’s unsightly to look at!
He turned around immediately, out of sight!
Just as he was about to walk away, someone grabbed the basket on his back.
Xie Jiaojiao rolled her eyes and cursed in her heart: Damn...
She turned her head speechlessly and faced Jiang Weinan. Before she could speak, Jiang Weinan pulled her around and faced the woman who had just chased her.
I saw that the woman was very pretty, but when she looked at Jiang Weinan, she had an angry look on her face.
The woman came up and tried to break off Jiang Weinan's hand and took Xie Jiaojiao's hand. But when she couldn't pull it away, she pointed at Xie Jiaojiao and asked Jiang Weinan angrily: "Who is she?"
Jiang Weinan put his arm around Xie Jiaojiao's shoulders and said to the woman, "Your future sister-in-law!"
Jiang Weinan also has a sister? She thought it was one of his sweethearts, and she felt a stab of pain in her shoulder while they were tugging on each other on the street. Xie Jiaojiao glanced at Jiang Weinan, who also stared at her, as if asking her to speak quickly, Xie Jiaojiao Jiaojiao had no choice but to smile awkwardly: "Hello."
The woman in front of her looked completely disbelieving, and she felt a little aggrieved towards Jiang Weinan: "Even if you... you shouldn't just pull a random woman on the street to lie to me!"
"I'm not lying to you. She and I have already set a wedding date. Everyone in the Jiang family knows about it. I originally planned to tell my family when I go back to celebrate the New Year this year."
The woman still didn't believe it. A girl ran up behind her, holding something in her hand. As soon as she came over, she bowed to Jiang Weinan and shouted: "Young master, please be safe!"
Jiang Weinan said nothing.
Then he shouted to the woman in front of him: "Miss?"
The woman in front of her raised her head, glared at Xie Jiaojiao fiercely, suddenly rushed up to her, pushed her, and ran away.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at it, her eyes were red.
As soon as she left, Xie Jiaojiao immediately shook off Jiang Weinan's hand.
A trick that was only seen in TV dramas before would actually fall on her!
Jiang Weinan stared at Xie Jiaojiao with some embarrassment, touched her nose, and was about to explain, when she saw Xie Jiaojiao put the backpack on the ground, then grabbed the hand he had just hugged her, and then threw it over his shoulder.
"Ah... um!" Jiang Weinan fell to the ground.
Xie Jiaojiao clapped her hands and looked at him: "Master Jiang, this is your punishment for being so disrespectful to me just now!"
Then he turned around and left with the basket on his back.
With so many people watching, Jiang Weinan was so angry that his whole body hurt, and he said to the onlookers: "What are you looking at? I have an engagement with her!"
But obviously not many people believed him. After all, he was dressed luxuriously, while Xie Jiaojiao was dressed like a village girl...
