Chapter 55: Abrasions
The two discussed it for a while, and finally decided to buy a pound of fans at a price of 20 yuan, dry fans at 30 yuan, and her fans were provided for free, and then they would be given at a rate of 20%.
Shopkeeper Xu even took out a hundred taels of silver tickets, saying that he would order some wet vermicelli first, and then order some dry vermicelli after the follow-up brand was launched.
Chu Xinyun naturally agreed, and when the dozens of catties of wet fans who were about to fill the yard were all loaded into the carriage of the shopkeeper Xu, and he also stuffed him with a few production recipes, presumably tomorrow the fans of Yunjian Restaurant will be the whole Qingshui Town.
Sure enough, Yunjian Restaurant quickly got out of the predicament of locusts disappearing, and launched a Yunji vermicelli pot that was more delicious and exquisite than the locust feast, which attracted the attention of the shopkeeper Chen.
"You mean this vermicelli pot was made up by that little lady again?"
"Yes, someone saw Shopkeeper Xu come out of Chujia Village with his own eyes, and then moved some things back to the backyard......"
Shopkeeper Chen narrowed his eyes, and then said, "Bring a pen and paper, I want to write a letter to the prince." ”
"Yes!"
Three days later, the shopkeeper Chen received a letter from the capital, and after reading it, he burned the letter, and then ordered someone to prepare a carriage and go to Chujia Village.
Chu Xinyun is still busy at home, the number of orders at Yunjian Restaurant has been increasing more and more in the past few days, she and Xiao Shu are really too late to do it, so she pulled Aunt Wang to help together, and finally was able to move the fans into the carriage before the goods were about to run out.
But not long after the carriage of Yunjian Restaurant left, another one stopped at the door of his house.
Chu Xinyun was stunned, and saw a middle-aged man with a rather faceted face getting off the carriage, smiling at him.
"Duren's surname is Chen, he is the shopkeeper of Dexing Building in Kyoto, and he has seen the little lady Chu."
Kyoto Dekuko Building? Chu Xinyun thought about it slightly, and suddenly realized, isn't this the one who always plays with Xu Xuejie!
She had to nod: "I've seen Chen Xuejiao, I don't know if you have been here recently......
"The little lady in Xinjian has something called a fan here, I want to talk to the little lady about business this time, I don't know what to do?"
Since she was here to talk about cooperation, she naturally couldn't turn it away, so she invited Shopkeeper Chen to sit in and have a cup of tea.
After the two of them took a seat, Chen Xuejie couldn't wait to talk about his intentions: "The little lady should know that my Kyoto Dexing Building is all dishes from Kyoto, if the little lady wants to make this business bigger, then naturally she wants to sell this fan to the capital, and those dignitaries love this rare thing the most!"
Shopkeeper Chen really said in one sentence that her heart went up, after all, in this small place, although she has a lot of ideas, she can't develop them, just like this fan, if you can sell it in Kyoto, the silver you get will almost double......
Just when she was thinking about the feasibility, Xiao Kill came back, and when he saw the shopkeeper Chen sitting next to him, his face sank slightly: "Xiao Yun, are you a guest at home?"
"You're back, I'll keep the rice in the pot for you, go eat it." Chu Xinyun got up to greet him: "This is the shopkeeper Chen, who came to talk to me about business today." ”
"I'm not hungry yet, am I here to talk about the business of fans?" Naturally, he sat down next to her.
Shopkeeper Chen smiled at him, and his attitude was very modest.
"Well, I think Shopkeeper Chen's idea is very good......
"Xiao Yun is still thinking about it, the output of some fans is not high now, and the restaurant still needs to supply, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult."
Chu Xinyun frowned, Xiao Kill's words were not wrong, but she didn't want to give up the rare opportunity on Chen's side....
Xiao Shu persuaded again: "You can take a look again, if the yield of a few acres of land is good, then it is not too late to think about it again." ”
Chu Xinyun turned his head to look at him, and Xiao Shu winked at her, as if there was something hidden in his words.
In the past, when he talked about business, he wouldn't say so much at all, how can he talk about it today...
Shopkeeper Chen was also a discerning person, and when he saw that the two seemed to have something to say, he said: "Then since the little lady is not sure today, then let's talk about it another day." ”
Chu Xinyun could only get up to see off the guests: "I'm really sorry, we'll contact you another day." ”
After sending away the shopkeeper Chen, she pulled Xiao Shu with a serious face and asked, "What did you just say?"
Xiao Shu persuaded: "Xiao Yun, have you forgotten what happened before?" Before you were falsely imprisoned, it was the handiwork of this shopkeeper Chen, and the shopkeeper Xu also advised you, don't be fooled. ”
Chu Xinyun said regretfully: "But the conditions mentioned by Chen Xuejie are quite good.....
"Then you can't cooperate with him, he is King Jing's person, once he cooperates, the implication is too great, this is equivalent to rebellion!"
"King Jing's people? Who is King Jing? And what's going on with this rebellion?" Chu Xinyun looked at him suspiciously, Xiao Shu suddenly looked annoyed, blaming himself for being quick-mouthed, and actually told this matter!
"This.... This is what I accidentally found out when I investigated Chu Tianbao before, and I also asked the shopkeeper Xu at that time, in short, cooperating with such a person is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger, if you really want to sell fans elsewhere, then we will find another way at that time. ”
Since Xiao Shu said so, she had to nod.
Chu Xinyun still believed in Xiao Shu's judgment, after all, he had also saved himself so many times, and the matter of discussing cooperation with Shopkeeper Chen was put on hold.
But she lost such a large amount of business funds all of a sudden, and she was reluctant to let it be fake, she was simply heartache all the time, this is a lot of silver! It didn't feel like it was even on the lips and flew away.
After putting the fans aside to dry in the morning, she thought about going up the mountain to have a look, this time she didn't want to call Xiao Kill, she just wanted to go up to relax and relieve her depressed mood.
Xiao Shu repeatedly confirmed: "Do you really want me to go with you?"
"I really don't need to, this time I'm just going to relax, don't go inside, there won't be any danger, and I'll come back after a stroll, you can rest at home."
Xiao Shu thought about it and finally compromised: "That's okay, you promised me, you can't go inside, come back earlier, you know?"
Chu Xinyun muttered: "I know, when did you become so verbose, I'll just go for a walk, I won't waste much time." ”
After saying goodbye to Xiao Kill, she went to the back mountain alone, and in a place she had never noticed, a figure quietly followed behind her.
In early autumn, the leaves of the mountains are beginning to turn golden, some unknown trees are full of fruits, and there are many birds on the ground, so they must be inedible.
She walked cautiously around the periphery, but her heart was full of thoughts.
Unconsciously, I have lived in this place for more than half a year, and my days have changed a lot from before.
As she walked, she thought about it and walked unconsciously towards a place, and when she came back to her senses, she found herself standing in front of a small cave.
Chu Xinyun rubbed her sore legs, thinking that it would be better to take a rest around here, but before she could sit down, she heard the sound of something passing behind her.
She stood up vigilantly, and when she turned around, she saw a large gray snake as thick as a baby's arm swimming in the grass, and the target was her side!
How could she have forgotten that this was the peak of reptilian infests!
Chu Xinyun, who has been loveless to these scaly creatures since she was a child, turned pale with fear at this time, and she didn't dare to move, because her intuition told her that once she moved, the target of the snake would instantly turn to herself....
But it's a pity that this snake is targeting itself!!
Chu Xinyun screamed and immediately rushed into the distance, and the alarmed snake also swam quickly towards her position, and at the moment when it was about to bite, a stick fell from the sky and hit its fatal seven inches!
And Chu Xinyun also threw herself into a warm embrace, she suddenly looked up and found that it was Xiao Kill, and before she had time to be happy, the inertial strength of her body after running wildly took the two of them straight backwards!
Xiao Shu subconsciously protected it in his arms, and the two hugged each other like rolling rocks down the steep downhill for a long time, and finally stopped in another remote corner.
Chu Xinyun, who came back to his senses, hurriedly checked Xiao Shu's injuries: "Xiao Kill..... It's okay for Xiao to kill you!" I just didn't have anything to do all the way down, and it was all up to Xiao Shu to protect himself tightly.
Xiao Shu shook his head: "I'm fine, but where is the injury?"
The feeling of the rest of her life after the catastrophe turned into a hot current swirling in her eyes, and she immediately cried and threw herself into his arms: "I was scared to death just now!" Such a big snake, if I really get bitten, how will I marry in the future!"
Xiao Shu hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, I don't dislike it, I'll marry you in the future." ”
Chu Xinyun was originally sad, but when he said this, he immediately burst into tears and laughed: "What are you marrying!" There is such a big slope, fortunately you are in good health, if the average person would have fallen to the ground a long time ago!"
"Yes, yes, then I will definitely exercise hard in the future."
"Who told you this!" After crying for a while, she felt much better, and awkwardly got out of his arms, and said in a thick nasal voice, "Have you been secretly following me before?"
Xiao Shu looked at her and didn't want to be angry, so he nodded and said, "I'm also worried, so ......"
"Hmph, I said how I always feel that there is someone behind me, it turns out that it is really you!"
After making sure that Xiao Shu was only slightly bruised, Chu Xinyun finally breathed a sigh of relief, after all, this time she insisted on coming alone, in the final analysis, she was too confident.
You still have to be more careful, a small back mountain may kill you.
Xiao Shu observed the terrain nearby, and found that it was a little extremely steep, and it was no problem for him to go up by himself, but if he didn't use a rope, it would be difficult to take Chu Xinyun up with him, he said: "Xiao Yun, I'll go nearby to find if there is a vine or something, you wait here for me, and I'll come back immediately......"
"No way!!" Chu Xinyun subconsciously grabbed his arm, this experience of going up the mountain alone caused a big shadow in her heart, if something like a snake appeared when Xiao Kill left, wouldn't she be completely unable to resist?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but snort, and begged, "Why don't you take me with you, I don't want to stay here alone, listening to her rare coquettishness, Xiao Shu had to nod her head and say with relief, "Just follow me." ”
"Eun!" Chu Xinyun nodded again and again, and the two groped their way towards the vicinity, this place seems to be rarely visited, the rocks are covered with all kinds of cyan or yellow creepers, this kind of vine is definitely not good, it is almost broken as soon as it is pulled.
The two had to move on, and gradually found some green wide-bladed ground vines, Chu Xinyun looked at this leaf and felt a little familiar, so he asked Xiao Shu to stop.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Shu thought that she was not very comfortable, and asked with concern.
After squatting down, she first looked at the lower leaves, the suspicion in her heart became more and more solemn, and then she picked up a broken tile and began to dig, and she finally relieved when she saw the pale yellow lump appear in front of her!
Others don't know what it is, but she knows it all too well!
