Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Price of Rice

Similar to Lin Zhu's guess, Shopkeeper Du did come for business, but she didn't expect this white rice to be so important to him, after all, white rice is not a strange commodity like watermelon. "In that case, then I won't ask more." It's about other people's secrets, and Lin Zhu doesn't want to ask too much, "I still have four hundred catties of this kind of white rice here, I originally wanted to sell it to the restaurant, but since Muyue Commercial Bank wants it, then I will sell it to you." Although Lin Zhu wants to make a name for herself in this special white rice, there is not much white rice that she can release in her hands now, so it is better to harvest next year and make plans. It's still very cost-effective to give a favor to Muyue Commercial Bank.

"Du Mou thanked Miss Lin on behalf of Lu Dazhang." Shopkeeper Du didn't expect to get so much, and his task this time was half completed, and he finally lived up to the trust of Master Lu. "Miss Lin, how about this white rice is still priced at five taels of silver a catty?" Of course, Steward Du will not treat Lin Zhu badly in terms of price.

"Isn't that too high?" Lin Zhu was a little puzzled.

"Not high, not high. Miss Lin rest assured, the big boss said, as long as Miss Lin Zhu has a special product in the future, whether it is food or others, our Muyue Commercial Bank will buy it at a high price, that is to say, if Miss Lin wants to sell, our Muyue Commercial Bank will accept it, although the price is assured, it will definitely satisfy you. I didn't expect Lin Zhu to ask such a question, Shopkeeper Du was stunned for a moment, is this kid true and sincere? Or do you want to retreat as advance? However, seeing that her expression didn't look like a fake, the shopkeeper Du said again, "Miss Lin, this white rice can be sold for one tael of silver and one pound in your hands, but if it comes to our Muyue Commercial Bank, it will be advantageous to accept five taels of silver." ”

It stands to reason that the shopkeeper should not say this. Lin Zhu was also very grateful to him for confessing so frankly, "I listened to the words of Shopkeeper Du." I'm relieved, it seems that the strength of the Kizuki Trading House is very strong. Dealing with such a business should not suffer a loss, thank you for the importance of your firm, next year I will plant 30 acres of special rice, of which 25 acres of harvest to the Muyue firm, what do you think? "Giving it back will make the cooperation between the two sides more pleasant.

"Thank you Miss Lin for your trust, I will definitely report this good news to the great master." Du Zhang smiled a little from ear to ear, this is really a big surprise.

"I haven't figured out how to arrange the rest, but Shopkeeper Du can rest assured. If you don't bother the two masters, the output of the field will still be sold to your firm. Lin Zhu felt that after all, there was a relationship with Doctor Zhang, since the Muyue Commercial Company left a good impression on her at the beginning, and they were also very sincere, what did it matter if she continued to cooperate with them?

"Thank you Miss Lin for your trust, the girl is really a happy person, Du Mou is not much polite here, I will go back from now on, and report to the big boss after knowing the way. How about signing a contract with Miss Lin again? ”

"Yes." Lin Zhu nodded, after all, both sides needed some guarantees.

Now that the purpose has been achieved, Shopkeeper Du didn't stay long, and after a few polite words, he got up and said goodbye to Lin Zhu. He also agreed to go to Linjia Village five days later to get the 400 catties of special white rice. Lin Zhu originally wanted to ask him to bring another hundred catties of white rice to Dr. Zhang. But thinking about it again, the rest of the Zhang family doesn't seem to know that Dr. Zhang has recognized a goddaughter here, since she is an official eunuch. There must be a big rule, and it is not appropriate to go up rashly. If it passes one after another, it would be bad if people thought that they were deliberately getting up to kiss. Let's wait a while.

After Shopkeeper Du left, Lin Zhu felt very tired and just wanted to go back to the house to rest, but found that Chang Shi seemed to have something to say after sending Shopkeeper Du away. "Uncle Chang Shi, is there anything else?" Lin Zhu stopped and asked.

"Today, Feng Yuanbo came to ask me, where is their family of three? So I've come to ask the girl. "Chang Shi spoke very bluntly, in fact, because he used to follow General Chang, although he is not a soldier, but he is also used to orders and prohibitions, and the way of speaking has not changed, no one has picked on Changfu before, and now when he comes to Lin Zhu, although Lin Zhu is not very accustomed to it at first, but after a long time, he found that Chang Shi's action is very strong, and the things handed over to him are completed quickly and well, and Lin Zhu does not care about these small problems.

"Feng? Who is he? Lin Zhu didn't think about it for a while.

"Girl, it's the family with a five-year-old son, isn't the woman in his family sick, and you can ask the doctor to help her see a doctor." Chang's mother reminded on the side.

"Oh, it's him," Lin Zhu patted his head and remembered, "He seems to have said that he is literate, right, has he ever tested his fame?" "He said that he had been studying for a few years, but he didn't say anything else, and his handwriting was very good." Chang Shi replied.

"Does he keep accounts?" Lin Zhu sat on the chair, and by the way, Chang Shi and Chang's mother also sat down together. "At the beginning, he said that he was literate and could do accounts, so he bought him, but he had to buy it with his family before he was willing to sell." Chang Shi said the reason for buying his family. "That's great, Uncle Chang Shi, then let him follow you, you take care of the affairs of the three Zhuangzi, just let him follow you, and his family will also live with you." Chang Shi and Chang Tianlei have been living in the house in the county seat, while Lin Zhu and Chang's mother live in Linjia Village, and now Lin Zhu has arranged Feng Yuanbo's family here, and when the woman is well, she can help them cook, wash and wash clothes, etc., and the child, she didn't think of how to arrange him for a while. With such a small child labor, Lin Zhu really doesn't know how to use it.

"Okay." Chang Shi nodded in agreement but did not leave.

"Uncle Chang still has something to say?"

"Girl, is what the people from Muyue Trading House said just now true? Can this white rice really be sold for this price? Chang Shi couldn't believe it, although he knew that this rice was very popular, they had been eating this kind of white rice these days, and they had eaten a lot. If he had known that Lu Dao would be worth so much money, he wouldn't have eaten so happily, how much silver did he have to owe Lin Zhu?

"Since he said it, it must be this price. Any questions? Lin Zhu suddenly felt that Chang Shi's face was a little wrong after listening to what she said. Isn't that what we eat these days? Chang Shi remembered that after the autumn harvest, Lin Zhu sent it to them, and they had been eating it for a month or two, what if all this rice was exchanged for money? Chang Shi felt that he couldn't think about it anymore, if it was said that in the former General Chang's Mansion, the cost of eating was no less than fifty taels one day, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong at that time, after all, the Chang family's wealth was there. And all the nobles in the capital are like this.

But in this place, I ate ten taels of silver in one day, which is too shocking, ten taels of silver, the countryman can use it for a year, even the average family in the county can use it for two or three months. People who have fallen so far have actually enjoyed such treatment, and tough guys like Chang Shi are also moved.

"Girl, it's a waste of rice for us to eat, isn't it?" Chang's mother also felt that something was wrong. "What is wasted? Mother Chang, did you throw it away before you finished eating? Lin Zhu looked at her and asked. How can it be, the rice made from this rice is so delicious, how can we be willing to throw it away? I mean......" Before Mother Chang finished speaking, Lin Zhu interrupted her, "Mother Chang, that's fine, as long as it's not wasted." After Lin Zhu finished speaking, she walked out of the hall, she was really tired, "Mother Chang, I want to go and rest for a while, you can also go and see Tianlei." So he turned around and walked away.

When I went to the house, I saw that Fu Dou'er had already slept crookedly. In order to prevent him from falling out of bed when he crawled, he was specially made a small crib, which was blocked by a railing so that he would not accidentally fall down.

Lin Zhu changed into comfortable clothes, also lay on the bed, and fell asleep after a while.

Chang Shi stopped Chang's mother, who wanted to chase Lin Zhu, and motioned for her to go with him to see Chang Tianlei. "The little master's body is much better now." Chang Shi said in a sullen voice. Only now did he understand that it must have been Lin Zhu who had known that Dao would be like this, so he would send them the white rice. Now Chang Shi's heart is very entangled, Lin Zhu doesn't know how to repay the great kindness of the Chang family, even if General Chang knows the way, he will be grateful to Lin Zhu.

"Thanks to the girl." Chang's mother nodded and said softly, she didn't expect things to be like this, "We can't repay this kindness." Let's do more about her. Although Chang's mother is by Lin Zhu's side, she has always tried her best to help her. But now that I think about it, Lin Zhu gave them a lot in return. And they also stained her light, stabilized themselves, and kept General Chang's bloodline.

"Find a chance to tell her the truth. Can't let her be confused. What will she say when the time comes, let's do it. After Chang Shi finished speaking, he took the lead and walked into Chang Tianlei's courtyard.

"Uncle Ten, why do you have time to come over?" Chang Tianlei was very happy to see them, "Look, the injuries on my body are almost gone." He walked around the house excitedly. Chang mother, you also see. ”

"Well, that's good." Chang Shi rarely showed some smiles.

"Yes, it's almost. Concubine Lan will definitely be very happy when she knows it. Chang's mother wiped her eyes, when she first saw Chang Tianlei, her soul was all over the body full of injuries and fright, I was really afraid that he had three longs and two shorts. Now that he is almost recovering, he has finally let go of his heart, and he has not lived up to Concubine Lan's hard work.

"Young Master, we have something we want to discuss with you." He glanced at Chang's mother and nodded at her.

Since arriving in this house, Chang Shi has always claimed that Chang Tianlei is his son, so he is called by his name on weekdays, and he is used to hearing it, but he suddenly calls him respectfully, which is a little awkward. "Uncle Ten, what's the matter? You said. Looking at Chang's mother again, there was a look of embarrassment on her face, and Chang Tianlei's heart suddenly sank.

Thank you taemiki for the peace charm. (To be continued......)
