Chapter 314: Rough things
As for the situation where Qinglian illegally obtained the jade pendant, Fan Hai didn't think about it at all. If the young master Liu Ye was protecting lost the token, it would be fine. Besides, if it was really lost due to an accident, Liu Zhi'an would definitely give it to everyone. Just say hello to the big business bank.
"Miss Qinglian, everyone has been waiting for a long time. There are a lot of things. I have been delayed for a while. Please see Liang." Then shopkeeper Fan took out the jade pendant and handed it to Qinglian respectfully: "Miss Qinglian, please keep it. The jade pendant keepsake is related to It is important not to lose it if it is important. If it is obtained by lawbreakers, the Liu family will face great losses."
He carefully took the jade pendant Qinglian and placed it close to his body: "Thank you, shopkeeper Fan."
Shopkeeper Fan sat on the main seat and said, "Miss Qinglian, I don't know if there is anything that Fan needs to do for me this time."
After confirming that Qinglian's identity was not simple, Fan Hai did not dare to call himself an old man. "Fan" means that he recognized Qinglian's identity.
Qinglian pondered for a moment: "Shopkeeper Fan, our family suffered a disaster, and the little girl wants to borrow some food for emergency purposes. We can sign a contract and we will definitely return it to Shopkeeper Fan next year."
Fan Hai was startled. He never imagined that Qinglian brought the young master's token just to borrow some food. This was simply making a fuss out of a molehill.
After looking at the people in the living room, Fan Hai thought it was just food rations for these people: "Miss Qinglian has met someone else. Why don't you borrow food? Fan made the decision and directly gave Miss Qinglian 500 shi of food. From Fan The money will be deducted from the salary."
Qinglian bit her lip: "Shopkeeper Fan, it's not enough. We need a lot of food."
"Five hundred stones is not enough? How much food is needed?" Fan Hai glanced at the people in the living room in surprise. There were three old people and two middle-aged men. Could it be that there are some big eaters?
"Three to thirty thousand stones."
"Thirty thousand shi?" Shopkeeper Fan frowned slightly and was not too surprised. The number of 30,000 shi was nothing to him, the shopkeeper of a grain account, but he couldn't figure out why Qinglian needed so much food.
Based on the current consumption of two meals a day by ordinary people, 30,000 dan is more than enough for 50,000 middle-aged people with large appetites to eat for two months. Could it be that Miss Qinglian wants to borrow food from a large number of people.
Seeing Shopkeeper Fan frowning slightly, several people looked at Shopkeeper Fan eagerly and anxiously. They naturally knew in their hearts what kind of amount thirty thousand dan was. A jade pendant alone was like borrowing food for 30,000 dan. This was tantamount to a huge amount. joke.
Qinglian pursed her lips: "Shopkeeper Fan, if you don't have 30,000 shi, you can have less food. Our Miao village will definitely pay it back to you next year. Even if you don't have to pay for the food, leather goods, and herbs, you can also pay back a lot of it." You, I will never put you in trouble, we can make a slave contract, and we are willing to be slaves if we don't pay for the food."
Fan Hai raised his eyebrows: "Miss Qinglian is borrowing food from the Miao village?"
"yes."
"There is thirty thousand shi of grain. It's not a big deal for Miss Qinglian to borrow 30,000 shi of grain with the eldest young master's token. It's just that Miss Qinglian doesn't know. Anyone who withdraws more than fifty taels of silver from the Liu family firm must keep it." Fingerprint signature is enough, even for 50 taels of silver. Thirty thousand shi of grain is equivalent to 40,000 taels of silver in terms of the current food price in Chengdu. Fan asked boldly, Miss Qinglian might fill in the 40,000 taels of silver on behalf of the young master. Proof? Otherwise, if the eldest young master doesn’t nod, this 30,000 shi of grain worth 40,000 taels of silver will never be able to open the warehouse door just because Fan is a semicolon shopkeeper."
"Ah? Is there still such a rule?" Qinglian looked at Shopkeeper Fan blankly. When she heard Shopkeeper Fan say that thirty thousand stones of food was not a big deal, she felt relieved, thinking that there was hope for borrowing food, but she actually asked for it. The fingerprint signature credential put her in a dilemma.
She didn't know what position she held in Young Master Liu's heart, and she didn't know whether she could fill the gap of 40,000 taels of silver in Young Master Liu's place. The child Qinglian in her belly really didn't make any difference. Confidence.
For a moment, I couldn't help but feel a little confused. I glanced sadly at Wusang and the others who were also lost in thought.
They also heard what Fan Hai said. Borrowing food was a small matter, but Qinglian had to have enough status to fill the gap of the 40,000 taels of silver.
They knew better than anyone what kind of situation Qinglian was in. If they had 40,000 taels of silver, they could just buy food directly, so why bother borrowing food from them?
"Miss Qinglian doesn't know something. The head of the family has always maintained a clear distinction between public and private matters in business. Even if his own family wants to withdraw money, every account must be recorded clearly. Not to mention the eldest young master, even the head of the family himself must record it. More than The amount of fifty taels of silver must be signed by fingerprints, and shopkeepers of shops with less than fifty taels must also record it clearly. Although the Liu family shop is mainly located in Jiangnan, it is also involved in other places. If each shopkeeper does not put dozens of The amount of two taels of silver is in my eyes. If all the money is withdrawn in this way, the combination will bring great losses to the Liu family. As long as the girl can immediately release the food on my behalf, the token and the seal can ensure that there is no worry. "
"Shopkeeper Fan, I don't know if there is any other way. I know you are in a difficult situation, but 30,000 shi of food is related to the life and death of tens of thousands of people. Shopkeeper Fan, please think of another way." Qinglian looked at Shopkeeper Fan pleadingly, These 30,000 shi of food are very important to the people of Miao Village.
Shopkeeper Fan wandered around the living room with his hands behind his back: "Miss Qinglian, there is a way, but it only requires your approval."
"Is it true? Shopkeeper Fan, please tell me, the little girl will definitely be willing to do it."
"Fan needs to write a letter to the eldest young master. As soon as the eldest young master's signature and seal arrive, as long as he bears the fingerprint signature for the 40,000 taels of grain, Fan will immediately open the warehouse and release the grain without hesitation. The eldest young master is in the capital now. It will take three days to receive the message, and as long as Miss Qinglian agrees, Fan will write immediately."
After listening to shopkeeper Fan's method, Qinglian's face changed and her heart tightened. She was afraid that there would be a gap in the relationship between Liu and Mrs. Liu because of her. She originally thought that this incident could be avoided, but now she still has to put her Will the Liu family know about this?
Although she was extremely reluctant in her heart, Qinglian took a few deep breaths when she saw the eager expectant looks in the eyes of Uncle Wusang and others: "Shopkeeper Fan, if you have a hard time, I will handle it as you told me."
Qinglian's words had no confidence. She didn't know if she was worth thirty thousand shi of food in Liu Mingzhi's eyes, even though it was just a borrowed food.
"In this case, I will give you three days to rest in the humble house. Fan will arrange a private room for you. As soon as the reply from the eldest young master arrives, Fan will provide food immediately and will never regret it."
"Shop Manager Fan, thank you very much for your kindness, little lady. It's just that it's inconvenient to live in the house. The little lady and others should come back in three days."
"Okay, as long as Miss Qinglian doesn't blame Fan for poor hospitality, Miss Qinglian, please do as you please."
"Farewell."
"Walk slowly without seeing you off."
"Mom, uncle, let's go back first. It won't be too late to come back in a few days."
Several people at a tea stall in the city looked lost and looked at the tea bowls: "Girl Lian, there is really no other way, just forget it. Thirty thousand stones of grain is not a small amount after all. How can we borrow it just as we say? We don't have anything as collateral. They Why should you believe us?"
"Uncle, please wait a little longer. Three days will be here soon."
"All right."
The land of Miao territory is densely covered with mountains and forests. The two brothers Li Wen sat panting on a stone and wiped the sweat from their foreheads: "Second brother, aren't we being fooled? How can there be any human habitation after a day and a night?"
Li Xuan stuck out his tongue and kept fanning the wind with his sleeves, looking for a little coolness.
Li Wen climbed up and looked up: "With the strength of our feet, even if Chengdu Prefecture has arrived, why are we still wandering in the mountains and forests? Could it be that we got sidetracked because of the darkness?"
"Could it be that the old lady lied to us?"
"No, I feel that although he is obedient, he is quite nice. As for lying to us, third brother, look at the smoke there."
Looking at the old farmer Li Wen in front of them, they all opened their mouths in unison: "Qianzhong? They have left Chengdu."
"Yes, you can reach the city of Qianzhou by walking along the road for half a day."
