Xie Xiuwen's letter to Cheng Jingzhou was of course not very detailed. It just reminded him to take a warning and it would be best to keep in touch with his hometown to avoid making careless mistakes.
"We can't see what's going on in our hometown, so we can only give more instructions to the elders in the clan. But from what is written in the letter, although your eldest grandfather's family has concealed the truth, it has performed well with the county magistrate, at least I took the initiative to make up for the taxes and grain, so it won’t affect my father-in-law anymore.”
Of course, that wasn't what Xie Rongzhao was worried about. She was simply worried about her father.
"By the way, husband, I have good news for you."
"Um?"
"Uncle Song will arrive in Feng County in a few days. He specially sent someone to go ahead and deliver the letter to me."
Cheng Jingzhou smiled and held the person in his arms: "Are you here to give you money again?"
Xie Rongzhao chuckled and said: "Not only that, Uncle Song said he wanted to take a look at our Harvest Workshop. If possible, their caravan also plans to take it outside the pass."
Cheng Jingzhou raised his eyebrows, this is a good partner.
"If you really take it out of the customs, how long can your things be kept? Will they get damaged?"
"No. Let's not talk about pancakes. As you know, these things are very durable after being dried. They just have to be a little harder when eating, but they can satisfy hunger. As for the fried noodles, there is nothing wrong with them, just the dried meat. , I don’t know how long it will last in the summer.”
"Well, remember to make it clear to uncle when the time comes, and don't let this hurt your friendship."
"You know, I'm not a child anymore."
Song Yi arrived in Feng County five days later. Xie Rongzhao specially sent someone to invite Cheng Jingzhou back, and then entertained him together.
This specification is still very high.
After all, no matter how successful Song Yi is, he is still just a merchant.
"My dear, here are the banknotes. You count them first." After Song Yi finished speaking, he put down a box that was about one foot long. Hearing the sound of the box falling on the table, he knew that it was very heavy.
"Uncle?"
"There is some gold and silver in it. I heard that you helped build a harvest workshop here, so I thought it might need a lot of silver. It happened that I couldn't come back two years ago, so I only asked people from the capital to give it. You sent a bonus, and the rest was delivered personally."
"Uncle, you don't have to be like this. I know your uncle's character and won't deceive me."
Song Yi laughed. It felt good to be trusted by someone so much.
"My dear, please clarify these things first and see if the numbers match. I have other things to give you later."
Xie Rongzhao's eyes shone, and he stopped counting the money and said directly: "It's unmistakable. Did uncle bring anything new? Come and see."
Song Yi couldn't resist her, and he knew that she really didn't care about the money, so he waved to the door, and a boy came in with another box.
This box was smaller than the previous one. Song Yi put it on the table and stretched out his hand: "Open it and take a look."
Xie Rongzhao looked at Song Yi and then at his husband. Seeing that neither of them had any objection, he simply opened it.
Good guy!
There is a box full of gems of various colors and sizes. Just a quick look at them makes you feel dazzled.
"Uncle? Isn't this too expensive?"
Song Yi smiled and shook his head: "It's not expensive. I couldn't come back before the New Year, so I couldn't give you New Year's gifts. These are just to make up for it."
"This can't be done. There are so many jewels. If my father finds out about it, he will definitely scold me."
"Don't worry, he won't. Besides, you are a junior, so what if I give you some gadgets? No one dares to gossip."
Even if there is, they are not afraid!
Although Xie Rongzhao was very moved, he still didn't dare to accept it.
The main reason is that there are too many gems. Xie Rongzhao feels that if he accepts them, his heart will be raised. What if his uncle doesn't give them away in the future? Will she blame her uncle again then?
Cheng Jingzhou saw Xie Rongzhao's hesitation and said with a smile: "My dear, since it's my uncle's wish, just accept it. I heard that my uncle's precious daughter is about to have her birthday, so you can prepare a birthday gift in the past few days. , please uncle take it back with you."
After Song Yi was stunned for a moment, he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, you have to let me see the eyes of Guobao."
Xie Rongzhao and Cheng Jingzhou looked at each other and knew immediately.
Song Yi brought a team of people, and naturally it was impossible for them all to stay overnight at the county government office, so Song Yi took his servant and two guards to stay at the county government office, while the others rented an inn to stay.
Xie Rongzhao took Song Yi to visit the Harvest Workshop, and finally the two went to the front hall to discuss cooperation.
Although Xie Rongzhao is the largest shareholder, he has never discussed cooperation with anyone. Generally, Ding Datou is responsible for such matters.
But Song Yi is different. He is the largest merchant that cooperates with Harvest Workshop so far, so he naturally has to make some concessions on the price.
"These pancakes are good. I heard that your orders have been placed for two months?"
Xie Rongzhao nodded, "That's true."
"Okay, then let's make a reservation for two months later. At that time, I will arrange for my men to go out of customs again. How much will these pancakes cost?"
"A bunch of ten. The specific price depends on how much uncle purchases."
Song Yi naturally understood this: "A thousand bunches."
Xie Rongzhao glared: "Is uncle going to order so much for the first time? Why don't uncle think about it again? If this thing doesn't sell well, wouldn't it be a loss for uncle?"
"No. You also said that this thing is easy to store and not easy to break. Even if I can't sell it, my people will eat it all on the road alone."
Xie Rongzhao choked, it seemed like this was really the case.
Song Yi's caravan, including guards, coachmen, etc., there are hundreds of people there!
If you only eat one pancake meal this day, the consumption is estimated to be around 200 pancakes.
A thousand bunches are only ten thousand pancakes, and they really can't bear to eat them there and back.
"Okay, since uncle is so confident in our pancakes, we will definitely not let him down."
"We definitely want all kinds of jerky, especially this chicken jerky. It's the first time I've eaten this kind of jerky. It tastes good, and the taste is really amazing."
"That's right, these are all our family's secrets."
Song Yi nodded, eating something like this relies on a secret recipe.
"Fried noodles are also a good thing. If you eat them with pancakes, it will be enjoyable. Get more of this. If you have it in stock, prepare a few dozen kilograms for me and I will take it back to my hometown for them to try."
"Okay. This can be made quickly and is in stock. I will ask Manager Ding to load the car for you in a moment." (End of Chapter)
