Chapter Ninety-Nine: Su Tan'er's Day (I)
Chapter Ninety-Nine: Su Tan'er's Day (I)
At noon, the streets along the Qinhuai River are bustling with activity, a block near the wharf, lined with shops and goods. There was a large warehouse behind the small shop with Su's cloth hanging, and the door was open from the side to facilitate entry and exit, and at this time a whole shipload of goods was being transported from the dock, and the goods, porters, and men kept coming in and out, making the whole scene a little crowded.
Now that the floods in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River have been seriously affected, the victims are still gathering here, and once the Jiangning City Gate is closed, the next situation may last for a month or two. As soon as the city gate is closed, the business of the city distribution will definitely be damaged, but the goods must still be prepared sufficiently, and there have been such situations in the past, but now it is just a step-by-step process.
The outer layer of the warehouse looks like a big pharmacy, and the huge shelves display some cloth boxes and various dyes, and at this time, some samples to be carefully stored are still being moved in, and they are placed on the counter for the shopkeeper and the guy in charge of this aspect to see, but at this time, in addition to the shopkeeper Liao who is in charge of the store and the warehouse here, Su Tan'er, as the owner, is also looking at the things here in the counter.
The breath of early autumn has just taken off the heat, and the weather is still not necessarily cool, Su Tan'er is dressed as a simple woman today, with a white dress and sky blue placket and cuffs, which are not necessarily cumbersome, but simple and refreshing, without losing the atmosphere. When others were busy inside and outside the store, she also walked around the counter like a pharmacy, opening a newly delivered box from time to time to look at and sniff, or pulling open the small drawer of the cabinet inside to see what was originally inside, and from time to time she gave a point or two.
"Cinnabar, madder, alum, maran, this is holly...... There is a problem with these rat tail leaves, take a look, shopkeeper Liao...... In addition, the gallic over there is also moldy, although it is only a logarithmic raw material, the moldy one still has to be replaced, is it because of water seepage, I will find someone to get it over there this afternoon...... Ah, Apricot, you come ......"
"It will probably take an hour to unload, and the ship will not wait for anyone, so it will continue to unload over there. The food over there in Longqing Building is well prepared, there must be meat, and there will be a boat arriving in the afternoon, and it will be very tiring today, and we will see if we can unload it all before. The tea must be enough, and buy a load of cold powder at the corner of the street, if you like, drink to quench your thirst. ”
There are many kinds of things in the warehouse this time, there are many raw materials for making dyes, there are also dyes that have been made, silk, cloth that has been made into finished products, and even looms. There are a lot of things, all of which are stuffed into this warehouse, and some of them are divided into other warehouses. In the busyness of the porters and guys, Su Tan'er and women like Xing'er were mixed in, but there was no incongruity in the slightest, mainly because Su Tan'er was already familiar with these things.
If she doesn't come, Shopkeeper Liao can probably figure out the things here, but if she comes over, most of the benefits of these people who work can be better, and if the time is tight and the task is heavy, sometimes you can get some reward money from her hand if you finish it in advance. When it really comes to the need for others to help, she never skimps on this.
Instructed Xing'er to deal with the matter of eating and drinking, and after the things in the counter were instructed, she went out all the way to the dock, and the shopkeeper Liao and a guy hurriedly followed. This street is also mixed, although it is not as chaotic as the old dock Haiqingfang, but it is also a gathering of three religions and nine streams, and there are various interests behind the busy business, and gangs are fighting to grab it. Every few days, there will be fights, big and small. However, Su Tan'er was already familiar with the atmosphere here, and went all the way, helping the two guys who carried the box to help the box, and when the two guys hurriedly thanked her, she just smiled: "It's okay, go over quickly." ”
The streets were bustling with people, and all kinds of shops and merchants passed by a young man in a hurry, and Su Tan'er stopped abruptly. The man also glanced back, one of his hands was holding a pink and white sachet that was originally hanging on Su Tan'er's waist, at this time, it seemed that the weak woman grabbed the other end of the sachet with one hand and refused to let go, and the next moment, the man snatched the sachet violently and was about to run, but was thrown to the ground by the guy who followed the shopkeeper Liao.
The crowd was chaotic for a while, and Su Tan'er's right hand was probably strangled by the rope of the sachet, and at this time she clenched her fists and looked at this scene with a slight frown. The young man got up and was about to continue running, running two steps, when he was suddenly knocked to the ground by a punch from an oncoming man. , blood splashed out, Su Tan'er turned her head and squinted her eyes slightly, and then went to pick up the sachet and help the guy up. With his head down, he hung the sachet back on his waist, sighed and walked briskly forward. The beating in the rear continues: "**Blind your dog's eyes"
There is a small tea stall with a pergola by the river not far from here, and at this time there are a group of people sitting and resting in the pergola, led by a middle-aged man with a thin figure but a bright eye, who saw her coming, got up with a smile and hugged her fists: "Miss Su." ”
"Fifth Uncle Jing." Su Tan'er greeted with a smile, then looked back, "Fifth Uncle Xie Lu, Xie Jing, I haven't encountered such a thing for a long time." ”
"Ha Luha, I don't know where the new kid is in Lu Dao, how to come out and mix if the trick is not bright, since Miss Su has compassion, forget it here, otherwise he will have to abolish one hand."
"It's not a big deal, if you don't have a hand, it's hard to do other things in the future......"
This middle-aged man named Jing Wu is one of the gang bosses in this dock area, and he has a lifelong friendship with Geng Nursing Academy, which is why Geng Nursing Institute has already informed Su Tan'er about it. Jing Wu waved his hand here, and the beating stopped over there. After Su Tan'er thanked her, she went all the way to a cargo ship by the dock, and Juan'er took a small notebook on the boat to count some things. Among the three maids, Juan'er's mind is the most calm and meticulous, so these details are usually asked to come.
In the afternoon, the white clouds were long, and after a boatload of goods was finished, Xing'er had already ordered food to come over. The porters and cloth men gathered in the pergolas by the river to eat. Xing'er took a pot of tea and walked around, as a big girl, her position in Su Mansion was no worse than that of Liao's shopkeeper, which was also a symbolic circle. Juan'er and Su Tan'er sat at a table not far away, holding a booklet and sorting it out, and they were going to eat similar food to the rest of the food, not much. Lunch is not the norm this year, but for the rest of the people who do manual work, it is naturally better to eat an extra meal.
The news that someone had just stolen Su Tan'er's sachet and was beaten like that had spread among everyone at this time, and Juan'er was also asking, "Miss, someone stole your things before?" ”
"Well, I was beaten by Jing Wuye's people." Su Tan'er responded simply, and Juan'er nodded "oh".
On the other side, the topic is obviously much more complicated.
Some porters won't know Su Tan'er's identity very clearly, and there are new guys in the cloth shop. Whispering in the crowd at this time, it was obvious that it was impossible to understand why such a delicate woman would come here to take care of these things, such a woman should obviously be a layman for business, but then again, the food and drink were really well prepared.
These doubts appear in small pieces, and of course someone will explain them later.
"Our young lady is not simple, what do you know......"
"In the future, I will take care of the entire Su family."
"Can't tell, can you? Of course you can't see it......"
"Don't look at Miss's delicate appearance, it's not spicy, but it's a good ...... to take care of things."
"The power of others is hidden in her heart, if she is really angry, those young masters of the Su family don't even dare to breathe in front of her......"
"How's that, can't you think of it? After doing it for a long time, you will know that Miss is a lady, but people think about a lot more things than you......"
Soon after, the second big ship docked, and everyone took action again, and Xing'er was in charge of controlling the overall situation without problems, and she was good at this. Juan'er ran to the boat again to count some valuables first, Su Tan'er sat at the table in the pergola and turned her head to look at the big boat, looking at the situation on the other side of the dock. On the other side, where Jing Wuyi's subordinates gathered, there were some people looking over here during the chat, familiar and unfamiliar.
"What can this woman do when she comes here......"
"This woman is not mortal......"
"**It's so beautiful, you said that such a beautiful little girl showed up to do business, it's a pity......"
"Less of his ** nonsense, people can do business better than you."
"I can't see it."
"If you can marry me as a wife, he will be the ...... Tut...... Hey, you said she really won't marry, women just want to marry, husband and children......"
"You're stupid, don't you see that everyone is dressed as a married person? I used to come here, but I was dressed as a man, but even if I was dressed, I looked ...... handsome."
"Married?"
"That's right, I heard that I recruited a son-in-law, and he is a scholar."
"Spineless man." "The Su family is rich, didn't you just say that you would marry you as a wife?" You can marry such a woman without getting rich? ”
"But that's a scholar, I'm not the same when I'm pressed down......"
"Hey, this woman is really powerful, she is powerful in her heart, she won't lose her temper with you, she won't say anything heavy to you, you have to listen to her, you just look strong, and you want to crush people......"
The dock is extremely busy inside and outside, and the shopkeepers and stewards of every shop will watch nearby or simply go over to help, among all such people, Su Tan'er, who is only nineteen years old, is probably the most unusual and eye-catching. Young and beautiful, kind, liking and confusing, it seems that behind the easy figure, there is also an indescribable sense of proportion and distance, appearance, family background, and talent can often make many people can't help but feel ashamed of themselves.
After all, she didn't want to show her face for too long, and after looking at the pergola by the river for a while, she got up and walked towards Su's shop, and then as if she had found something, she frowned and smiled, and trotted all the way across the street. Although she was easy before, she always seemed calm, and then she had a girl-like appearance. When they got to the other side of the street, they met a passerby, who looked slightly surprised and then laughed. Everyone saw Su Tan'er smiling and saluting, and then chatted on the side of the road.
From the attitude and expression of the salute, it seems that it should be the woman's to her husband or lover, because that feeling, intimate and casual.
