Steward Qiu listened to Qi Jiuli's words, surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he showed a real smile, melon and melon, Erchang Erchi, she is by the side of Mrs., her own wife has loved Wenmo since she was a child, she has heard of these eight words, this time when the little young master washed the three ceremonies, many people came to congratulate, and she felt that she was not as good as the young man in front of her.

"Thank you, little brother." Steward Qiu took the basket himself, saw most of the basket of eggs, and said gently.

"Please wait a minute, little brother, and I'll go and get the basket out." After saying this, Steward Qiu whispered a few words to the woman and left.

"Sister-in-law Qi, you go into the house and sit down for a while to rest your feet and drink a cup of hot tea." The woman enthusiastically led Chi Lingmiao into a small room, which contained a table of eight immortals and a few stools, and the woman invited someone to sit down, and then served hot tea and brown sugar water, as well as a plate of pastries.

Chi Lingmiao was a little at a loss when she saw this battle, but the woman smiled and began to chatter with Chi Lingmiao, and gradually Chi Lingmiao relaxed, and her voice returned to normal.

Steward Qiu carried the eggs into the main room in the backyard, handed the eggs to the next person, and washed his hands before entering the house.

"Mama Qiu, did you buy the black charcoal?" The woman who was wearing a wiping forehead, sitting and lying, and holding a child in her arms, looked at Steward Qiu with a gentle expression.

"Madam, I bought it, more than two hundred catties." Steward Qiu said with a smile, "The people who came to sell black charcoal this time are somewhat interesting. ”

talked about the performance of the Qi family, and focused on Qi Jiuli's congratulatory words, "The slave and maid dared to call the shots and took the eggs." ”

"Hehe, I didn't expect there to be such a clever young man." Mrs. Qiu Lianfang was very happy, "The words are also good, you can reward him on my behalf." ”

"Yes." Steward Qiu replied respectfully.

"Give some gifts in return, too." Qiu Lianfang added.

"Yes." Steward Qiu hesitated and said, "Madam, if the Qi family has a sufficient source of black charcoal, shouldn't they change the seller?" ”

"It's not that the slave has a small belly, but the housekeeper in the front yard is the master's brother and Aunt He's brother, this time this thing is really infuriating, knowing that the lady is about to give birth, the black charcoal he bought is actually damp, such a big smoke, what kind of heart does he have."

"If you want to buy a high price, say that you want to enter from the county seat, but it has been said for several days, there is no shadow of charcoal, and the price has increased twice, and now the room is burned after being damp and dried, but even if the black charcoal is dry, it is still not small, and it is fundamentally different from the previous purchase, and it must be the most inferior variety."

Steward Qiu looked angry, and Qiu Lianfang smiled, "I know, whatever Mama wants, master, I'll explain it when he comes to see Shen'er." ”

"Madam, you now have both children under your knees, you have to think about the children, don't fight for anything anymore." Steward Qiu said.

"Mama, I know, don't worry." Qiu Lianfang smiled and looked at the child in her arms full of tenderness, "Now that I have Shen'er, and Xue'er, no one can cross them." ”

"You return the gift according to the standard given to the guest before, and then finalize it with them." Qiu Lianfang said, "You will be responsible for the work of black charcoal mining in the future." ”

"Yes."

When Steward Qiu returned to the back door again, he was carrying the basket of eggs in his hand, and when he entered the room, he greeted Chi Lingmiao with a smile.

Seeing Qi Shan, Qi Jiuli and Qi Shiyi sitting in the corner of the room, separated from the female relatives by a lot of distance, Steward Qiu felt more comfortable, it seemed that she was not wrong.

"Sister-in-law Qi, our lady thanks you for your congratulations, this is a return gift for you." Steward Qiu pushed the basket in front of Chi Lingmiao, but his eyes glanced at Qi Jiuli, and nodded with a smile.

The basket was covered with a piece of red cotton cloth, and Chi Lingmiao was a little flattered, not knowing whether to take it or not, and looked at Qishan with a look in his eyes.

"Sister-in-law Qi, don't shirk, after all, we will have to deal with each other for a long time in the future." Steward Qiu smiled at the corners of his lips.

"Huh?" Chi Lingmiao was stunned for a moment, what do you mean by dealing with it for a long time.

Qi Shan's face was overjoyed when he heard this, Qi Jiuli raised his eyebrows, and he was very happy, it seems that the basket of eggs was not given away for nothing, but the key is what he said, it should be very suitable for the heart of the master of the Qiu family.

"Sister-in-law Qi, your black charcoal is good, and the share that our Qiu Mansion needs every year in the future will fall on you." Steward Qiu said, "I wonder if you can supply it?" ”

"Of course, of course." Chi Lingmiao understood what she said, and agreed repeatedly, "We will definitely be able to provide it." ”

"Today, your five baskets can be used for almost a month, and the weather is still a little cold in March, and it may take two hundred catties, and then we will have to wait until autumn, and we will discuss how much weight is needed at that time." Steward Qiu said, "Can you send another 200 catties of black charcoal in the middle of this month?" ”

"Yes, yes." Chi Lingmiao agreed.

"Okay, it's still here at the back door." Steward Qiu nodded.

"Steward Qiu." Qi Shan got up suddenly, looked at Steward Qiu and said seriously, "I wonder if Steward Qiu can not tell outsiders that it was black charcoal that he bought from us." ”

Steward Qiu looked at Qi Shan with appreciation in his eyes, but he didn't expect to be honored and disgraced, "Don't worry, as far as we know, it won't be passed on." ”

"Thank you, Steward Qiu."

When Chi Lingmiao and his party came out of the back door of Qiu's house, they were still dizzy, full of incredulity.

"Boss, we're all sold out? And can you sell another 200 catties this month? Ji Lingmiao asked with a smirk.

"I'll talk about it later." Qi Shan said, "We can't tell anyone about this. ”

When Chi Lingmiao heard this, she hurriedly covered her mouth, so she secretly had fun by herself.

Qi Jiuli was a little bored and kicked the stones on the ground, Qiu Zhai has a seasonal limit for ordering charcoal, there is no business for more than half a year that year, and the amount that Qiu Zhai needs is just as much as he said today, where can this make the family have a better life.

What I earned today is not enough for Qi Qizhu to go to Fucheng for the exam, Qi Jiuli thought about it, what should I do.

In the last life, charcoal was used all year round in barbecue restaurants and grilled fish restaurants, right...... Qi Jiuli's eyes lit up, they can go to the food shop and ask, there is no solid alcohol block to heat up and eat now, and many dishes should need charcoal.

"Uncle, I ......"

"Jiuli, let's go back first today, I don't know if the black charcoal that Qiu Zhai bought before is the black charcoal from the Yuji grocery store, let's come to the town after a while, let's make charcoal at home these days, it's always right to make more." Qi Shan said.

"Oh, good uncle." Qi Jiuli nodded, yes, I'm already in the limelight today, I have to keep a low profile, let's talk about it in a few days, anyway, I can't escape from the food shop.
