Chapter 212: Business
Xia Zhi smiled, as if he was joking. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoHowever, does Second Uncle Xia dare not to give it? He didn't dare. The smile on his face was a little stiff, and Second Uncle Xia simply pretended to be generous and said, "Give, definitely give." Sixteen, as much as you want, the second uncle will give it. Even if you take all the wheat from the second uncle's house, the second uncle will have nothing to say. ”
It's distressing, it's a little numb.
Xia Zhi couldn't laugh back: "Second uncle, if you want to say so, then I will really accept it." ”
Second Uncle Xia's face couldn't help but change. He thinks that with Old Man Xia here, no one else here will do this, and he can't do it. But the summer solstice is different. Xia Zhi can really do this, and Old Man Xia can't stop it.
Seeing that Second Uncle Xia's face had changed, Xia Zhi smiled even more happily. "Second uncle, I'll just make a joke with you, I see what scares you."
Second Uncle Xia wiped his sweat, just laughing, and was almost speechless.
Old Man Xia coughed lightly.
This will work, the big guys are standing or sitting, all around the summer solstice and the little black fish. Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia were also sitting next to them, watching the summer solstice settle accounts and watch the little black fish pull the abacus. The old couple remained silent.
Old Man Xia suddenly coughed like this, not because of a throat problem, but because he was reminding Xia Zhi and telling her that she had taught Second Uncle Xia enough lessons.
Xia Zhi immediately understood, in the end, Old Man Xia still felt sorry for his second son. Therefore, she also straightened her face, but her attack was still unambiguous.
"The second uncle's heart, I don't want to give the second uncle too much face. Otherwise, the second uncle just gave me a hundred catties of wheat. ”
Second Uncle Xia wiped his sweat, thinking in his heart that almost a thousand catties of wheat would be gone. Knowing this, when Old Man Xia asked someone to bring him a letter, he came back. Naturally, he would not go into the field to harvest the wheat himself, but if he hired some people, he would have limited money to spend.
Even if he didn't come back, he asked someone to reply to Old Man Xia at that time, saying that it was really inconvenient for him to come back, and let Old Man Xia help him cook. In that case, he won't be so passive now, so that Xia Solstice has nothing to say, he can only give as much wheat as Xia Solstice wants.
Second Uncle Xia really realized that he had done wrong, and made up his mind that he would never make such a mistake again in the future.
I have to say that Xia Zhi's method is really very effective for Second Uncle Xia.
Xia Zhi asked for a hundred catties of wheat, and Second Uncle Xia was distressed, but he could only nod. He struggled and wanted to say two beautiful words, but he didn't expect the little black fish to be dissatisfied with the hundred catties of wheat.
"Why only 100 catties, if you want me to see, 200 catties and 300 catties are not too much. Without sixteen, the wheat rotted in the ground. ”
Little Black Fish's opinion, Xia Solstice will definitely take it into account. She thought about it for a while, and simply said again: "I don't want two hundred catties or three hundred catties, but that's what it means." If someone really brings a thousand pounds of wheat and asks me to take care of it for him, I may not be willing to do it. Second uncle, you only need to give me 150 catties of wheat. ”
"Okay, okay." Second Uncle Xia almost couldn't wait to nod his head again and again, as if he was afraid that it would be too late to be sure, and if the little black fish didn't agree, he would have to give more.
Xia Zhi settled the accounts clearly, and Uncle Xia San, Aunt Xia San, Xia Qiao and Qian Yuelai also weighed out the wheat and put it away.
Not enough, the account books and abacus on the summer solstice side can be confiscated. Taking advantage of the big guy's busy work, Xia Solstice whispered to the little black fish.
"I don't want that wheat, I'd better put it in the backyard and give it to my grandfather and my grandmother."
The little black fish was clever, so he ran over and whispered to Old Man Xia and Old Man Xia. Mrs. Xia smiled, and Old Man Xia didn't say anything in front of people, but it could be seen from the smile on his face that the old man was still very satisfied.
Seeing that it was not early, Second Uncle Xia said that he would not live at home and would go back to Fucheng that day. However, I don't know if it was too distressing to give Maizi just now, and Second Uncle Xia couldn't come back to his senses.
And Master Zhang was beside Second Uncle Xia, so he couldn't stop secretly looking at Xia Zhi, but he didn't even urge Second Uncle Xia.
"Second uncle, do you plan to transport this wheat back to Fucheng, or do you plan to transport it to Linshui Town and sell it?" Xia Zhi suddenly asked Second Uncle Xia.
Second Uncle Xia was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Old Man Xia quickly.
Old man Xia still knows the temper of his second son very well, and as soon as he saw the situation of Second Uncle Xia, he guessed that eight ~ nine is not far from ten.
Uncle Xia said that Aunt Xia and the children wanted to eat new wheat noodles, and they also said that they wanted to give Tian Jian Sheng a taste of the new wheat noodles at home, so they wanted to transport all the wheat back to Fucheng, which was coaxing, in order to be able to take the wheat away more smoothly. Second Uncle Xia's plan is obviously to pull the wheat to the town and sell it, and bring the money back to the city when the time comes.
As long as there is silver, how can you not eat new wheat noodles in the city?
For the sake of wheat and for the sake of money, it seems to be no different. But in the eyes of Old Man Xia, a farmer, the difference is big.
The former shows that Second Uncle Xia's family still has a concern and affection for the countryside and the production of their own fields. And the latter, it is only for money, that is, profit.
"You're going to pull the wheat out into town and sell it?" Old Man Xia asked in a deep voice.
Second Uncle Xia was hesitant, and in the end he didn't dare to say no. He was a little scared of being cleaned up today, and he also knew that this matter could not be hidden from Old Man Xia in the end.
"Second uncle, you have to sell this wheat now, but you can't sell it for a price? Second uncle, are you in a hurry to ask for money now? Xia Solstice asked.
There is still a lot of moisture in the wheat now, and if you wait for the wheat to dry before selling, even if you count the lost moisture, it will be more cost-effective.
This is the experience of the past years, and Second Uncle Xia will not be unaware.
"It's not." Second Uncle Xia didn't dare to lie anymore, "I am, I just happened to be free for the past two days." ”
"Oh......" Xia Zhi sighed, and glanced at Old Man Xia quickly.
Old Man Xia's face was a little gloomy. Second Uncle Xia's handling of this matter is really terrible. He was going to harvest wheat before, but he ignored it and didn't give a word to Old Man Xia. Now that the wheat was about to be sold, he hurried back. If you really can't spare time, it's the same to entrust the matter of selling wheat to Old Man Xia.
Before, he was irresponsible and didn't take care of it, but now he just doesn't worry about Old Man Xia getting his money.
"Second uncle, I think you are quite thoughtful. You passed by Linshui Town, have you found a good buyer? How much does it cost? Xia Solstice asked again.
Second Uncle Xia nodded, and said which grain store he was looking for and how much the price was.
"You sell it at this price!" Old Man Xia couldn't help but speak out first, "Forget it, I can't control you." You're not short of this couple of dollars anyway. ”
"Second uncle, you always have to sell wheat, at this price, you might as well sell it to me." Xia Zhi's mind changed slightly, so he discussed with Second Uncle Xia with a smile, "I will also give you cash, and you don't need to hire a car to pull the wheat to the town." Do you think it's okay? ”
"Ah......" Second Uncle Xia couldn't react.
"Second uncle, you won't be unwilling. Sell it to anyone is the same, and I won't give you less than a penny for the price. Xia Zhi told Second Uncle Xia again.
"Sixteen, what are you going to do here?" Although Old Man Xia guessed the plan of the summer solstice, he didn't have an accurate number in his heart, so he asked.
"Master, let's dry this wheat at home for a few more days, and we'll sell it when the price goes up." My second uncle was anxious to ask for money, and I gave him money. First, my second uncle is convenient, and second, I can also earn some hard-earned money in it. ”
Xia Zhi clearly said her plan, she just wanted to make the difference.
Old Man Xia lowered his head and pondered for a while, Second Uncle Xia's wheat money can be earned by anyone, why can't he let his granddaughter earn it? Just as Xia Zhi said, if he does this, Second Uncle Xia can also save the trouble and money of sending wheat to the town.
"Then let's do it. Second, do you have anything to say? Old Man Xia raised his head and asked Second Uncle Xia.
What else can Second Uncle Xia say, this is Old Man Xia's decision, let him sell the wheat to Xia Zhi.
"Dad, I listen to you." Second Uncle Xia seemed particularly obedient, but still asked, "Dad, does Sixteen really have silver for me?" ”
"She won't give it to you, I'll give it to you! I will not treat you badly, just as you sold to others. Old Man Xia glanced at Second Uncle Xia and said angrily.
Uncle Xia San and Xia Qiao helped to weigh the wheat when they were busy, and Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer kept an account next to them, and a dial~ abacus.
After weighing all the wheat, Xia Solstice spoke and counted, and immediately went to get the money. A few days ago, he tied up the cart and deposited a few taels of silver with Mrs. Xia, and she took off the silver lock plate she was wearing on her back, and took out all the silver tickets she brought back from Fucheng. That's not enough. Mrs. Xia discussed with Mr. Xia and took out the savings of the two of them, so that she could scrape together enough money to buy wheat.
"Milk, when the time comes, we will divide it according to our share." Xia Zhi said to Mrs. Xia with a smile.
"You kid, you're still a businessman." Mrs. Xia smiled.
Such a big thing, using so much silver, is also a big deal for Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia. But Old Man Xia didn't hesitate much, and gave Xia Zhi all his support.
On the one hand, this is the pampering and importance of the summer solstice, and on the other hand, the old man Xia also knows in his heart that this business will make a lot of money. The silver will not give birth to a small amount of silver when it is placed there, but it will make at least a tenth of the profit by buying and selling wheat in such a way.
Because the amount of silver money is quite large, Xia Zhi did not give the silver money to Second Uncle Xia like this.
"Second uncle, let's make a simple note." Xia Zhi said to Second Uncle Xia.
Asked Second Uncle Xia to take out wheat for everyone before, that was a lesson for Second Uncle Xia. Now the buying and selling of wheat is a serious business. The so-called brothers settle accounts clearly, and the closer they are, the more meticulous they must be.
Generally, this kind of business of buying and selling wheat does not have a document, but in order to prevent any rot in the future, Xia Zhi plans to make a note with Second Uncle Xia.
This kind of simple note, you don't need to find someone else at all, and Old Man Xia can write it. Usually, there are some mediation disputes in the village, and when it comes to writing contract notes, the big guys also ask Mr. Xia to write them.
When Old Man Xia heard Xia Zhi say this, he didn't shirk it, so he asked the little black fish to grind the ink, and then brushed the ground a little bit, and wrote the note.
Old Man Xia's handwriting is not only in order, but also very rigorous, and he can't find any faults.
Xia Zhi was very satisfied, and first drew and signed on the note, and Second Uncle Xia didn't dare to slack off, so he also signed and signed. Qian Yuelai and Master Zhang were witnesses, and they also drew a charge on the note.
Xia Zhi put away the note, and then gave the silver to Second Uncle Xia.
Second Uncle Xia was holding the silver, and the expression on his face was a little complicated. Xia Zhi didn't care what Second Uncle Xia was thinking, she collected the account books and abacus, and began to move wheat.
It was not early, and Second Uncle Xia and Master Zhang walked aside, and the two of them didn't know what to say in their low voices. After Xia Solstice had placed all the wheat here, Second Uncle Xia came over with a smile.
"Dad, I just discussed it with Master Zhang. When I finally came back, I stayed at home for the night. I talked to my dad and drank two more glasses of wine in the evening. After saying this to Old Man Xia, Second Uncle Xia also specially greeted Xia Zhi, "Sixteen, Second Uncle will stay at home for one night." Will you go to Fucheng with your second uncle tomorrow to stay for a few days? ”
Second Uncle Xia's attitude was so kind, and he even invited her to Fucheng. Xia Solstice didn't feel surprised, only inexplicable. Second Uncle Xia is not such a hospitable person, and although they are uncles and nephews, they don't have such a friendship.
Where can she live in Fucheng with Second Uncle Xia, she can't have a treat from Second Uncle Xia, will she go to live in Aunt Xia's house. Then she can only live in Zhang Qiaoer's house, with Aunt Xia, May, and July.
She is definitely persona non grata for these people.
This is very clear on the summer solstice. Therefore, she just glanced at Second Uncle Xia and shook her head and refused. "Second uncle, you're welcome. You and my second aunt are busy, and I'm going to make trouble for you. When I will go to Fucheng again, I will go to see you and my second aunt. ”
"What's the trouble, your second aunt and I can't wait for you to go. I just talked about wheat, but I didn't say it. Come back this time, except for the matter of wheat, I will take you to Fucheng. …… Go to Fucheng with the second uncle to play for a few days, and come back when you have had enough, and take care of the good food, drink and hospitality, which is better than you at your aunt's house. Second Uncle Xia said again with a smile.
Xia Zhi felt that Second Uncle Xia's smile was too exaggerated. She subconsciously took a step back.
"Second uncle, you really have this heart, why don't you take my grandfather and my grandmother to Fucheng to enjoy two days of happiness. If my grandfather and my grandmother go, my uncle and I will follow, and I will make you a whole favor. ”
The smile on Second Uncle Xia's face was stiff, and he secretly scolded Xia Zhi in his heart that this little girl was too difficult to deal with. Lao Zhang, this is simply asking for hardship!
However, there are benefits to be gained from being entrusted by others. Second Uncle Xia kept a smile on his face, and wanted to continue to say something to Xia Zhi.
Old Man Xia coughed lightly beside him: "Sixteen is busy, let's go into the house and talk." (To be continued.) )
