Jiang Yue pulled Jiang Nian through the door. Naturally, she would not be so naive.
The old lady was a little scared when she looked at the tall man, but she was more concerned about Qing Cai now.
Jiang Yue opened the cloth. It was a big basket with at least five kilograms of vegetables in it. ——There is no need to consider a backpack with a larger capacity. It is too conspicuous and easily attracts attention.
The long-faced woman's eyes turned green, and she stared at the green vegetables in the basket and swallowed her saliva.
There is a vast expanse of white everywhere in the city, and even white cloths are worn when doing white things. Their family has not seen such green vegetables for many days.
Jiang Yue whispered, "I want to negotiate a deal with your master. This dish can be delivered for five more days, but I want to change it to something else."
When the long-faced woman heard that she could still give it away for five days, she took a deep breath. This was a big deal and she had to let the housekeeper and the master know about it.
"Madam, please follow me to the front yard. You and your husband can warm up with a cup of hot tea."
The courtyard here is large. I have reported to the master that you will have to wait at least two quarters of an hour for this round trip. You cannot neglect your noble lord.
Jiang Yue shook her head, "No, I'll wait here. You go quickly."
She didn't want to get entangled too much and just kept a simple exchange of interests with the other party.
"Okay, then. You must wait for me to come back..." The mother-in-law looked hesitant, worried that she would run away. When he saw someone nodding, he turned around and ran quickly into the yard.
The layout of the back entrance courtyard of this place is slightly different from that of the Wang family.
This family seems to love Jiangnan landscape very much. Looking up, there are rockeries and flowing water in the courtyard, but now they are all covered with snow.
If you like Jiangnan, you must love eating vegetables.
Jiang Yue patted the place where the doorkeeper had been sitting, and pulled Jiang Nian to sit down. The two cuddled up against each other for warmth.
When the mother-in-law came with two middle-aged men, she stood up.
A middle-aged man with a short beard walked in a hurry. He was about 1.7 meters tall and had a haggard face. It should be Mr. Huang, the owner of this house.
Mr. Huang's eyes went straight to the vegetables. Jiang Yue happened to be polite and said straight to the point, "Mr. Huang, I want to do a business with you. I will deliver 5 kilograms of vegetables to your house every day for 5 days in a row."
Mr. Huang had already listened to his mother-in-law's report, and now that it was confirmed, he was ecstatic, "I can give you 20 taels of silver or 2 coins of gold every day!"
Jiang Yue shook her head, and Master Huang's surprise was half gone. Also, if you can have such fresh and green vegetables at this time, it is the only one available, so it will naturally cost more.
"I'll give you at most 3 gold coins."
Jiang Yue shook his head and said in his astonishment, "Gold and silver are of no use to me. What I want is something made by a famous artist, one piece every day, whether it is pen, ink, paper and inkstone, or paintings, calligraphy works, seals, jewelry, etc." , as long as it is an elegant thing, it should not be judged by price, but by value."
Mr. Huang frowned and looked up and down at the two people in front of him calmly. Most of his face was covered, and his clothes were shabby and bloated, but he couldn't hide his aura. Especially the man behind him with indifferent eyes, sharp eyebrows and a height of eight feet. He must not have been raised by ordinary people.
Seeing Mr. Huang's hesitation, Jiang Yue didn't push him. If they get along, they'll break up. In business, it's all about your own will.
Mr. Huang is indeed troubled in his heart. He is an arty person, and he does have a lot of collections at home. But as the young lady said, the works of famous artists are hard to come by, regardless of price. If it is replaced...
He glanced at the vegetables in the basket and thought about his little children, that's all, it was almost the New Year, so he wanted to change some fresh vegetables to make his family happy for a few days.
His expression relaxed, "Okay."
Then he turned to the stocky butler behind him and ordered, "Send me a few collections from my study room for my little lady to choose from."
"yes."
Of course Butler Huang understands what the master means, so he only chooses those few small things.
Fortunately, Jiang Yue really didn't care about the size of things. She fell in love with a small brush washer made of jade at a glance, with warm tentacles.
When Mr. Huang saw that she was not good-looking, but also a person who understood elegance, his heartache subsided a little.
Jiang Yue: Mr. Huang, you really overestimate me...
After choosing something, Jiang Yue and the two didn't stay. They just agreed to come back at the same time the next day and then went out.
After the mother-in-law closed the door, Jiang Yue put her hand into the basket and put away the small brush under the cover of the cloth. The number in the space immediately increased by 5 hours!
Jiang Yue was happy and took Jiang Nian's arm, "Big boy, let's make something delicious tonight!"
No one was around to hear their conversation. He turned his head and flicked the snow that fell on her eyelashes, "What are you doing?"
“Want to eat braised pork?”
"Will the smell be too strong?"
"It's freezing and snowy. People who go out are looking for firewood outside the city and don't come towards us. We have closed the doors and windows tightly, so we can't go far. The house on the left is still empty, and I don't know what the house on the right is doing. , it’s been quiet for several days. If you dare to come to the door, I’ll blow their heads off!”
Jiang Nian pulled up his scarf, but there was still a smile in his eyes, "Yueyue, you are getting more and more fierce."
Jiang Yue still wanted to argue, but saw two familiar figures from the corner of her eye.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came from the outside of the city. Mrs. Liu was holding a handful of firewood, her face was gentle, and there was even joy in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
Liniang lowered her head and said nothing, as if she was so weak that a gust of wind could blow her away.
Suddenly, her legs and feet were stiff because she stepped on a pit or walked for too long. Liniang fell into the snow with a plop, only letting out a muffled groan.
If she looked up, she would definitely see her good mother-in-law looking at her with disgust.
But Mrs. Liu's voice was still gentle, as if she was very concerned, "Liniang, are you okay? Get up quickly. Mother is holding firewood in her hand, otherwise I can pull you up."
Liniang stood up, expressionless, and contradicted her mother-in-law for the first time, "Don't say anything if you can't do it. It's boring to always say if, if, or otherwise!"
After saying that, he pulled his feet out of the snow and walked home alone.
Mrs. Liu bit her lip, feeling angry. She felt that her daughter-in-law was getting more and more rude. If the disaster hadn't been serious, she would have divorced her long ago!
She turned around and saw that the couple next door were watching them having fun, their faces stiffened, and they walked home without saying a word.
Jiang Yue raised her eyebrows and looked at their backs thoughtfully.
