The first household, the door was opened without a few knocks, and a middle-aged woman wearing a coarse cloth jacket opened it, seeing that there was no one she knew outside the door, and there were patches on the jacket, her expression was a little disdainful, "What to do?" We don't have leftovers or old clothes for you. ”

"Big sister, you misunderstood." Chi Lingmiao smiled and spread out his palms and said, "We want to ask if your mansion needs black charcoal?" ”

The woman was stunned when she heard this, glanced at the black charcoal in Chi Lingmiao's palm a few times and waved her hand, "No need, there is a steward in our house who specializes in purchasing these, and we bought enough shares a year ago." Then the woman closed the door.

Next, Chi Lingmiao knocked on a few more households, some did not open the door, and some did not open it, basically the same rhetoric, that is, enough without buying.

Seeing such a scene, Qi Jiuli is not not disappointed, but it is reasonable to think about it, since it is a large family, it must be purchased in advance, and there is a fixed purchase object, doing procurement is the same as modern procurement, and those who deal with manufacturers must have rebates to take them, and whoever may sell them will buy whoever buys them.

"Knock knock-" Chi Lingmiao still knocked on the door, this time it was a woman who opened the door, Qi Jiuli understood Qi Shan's intention to let Chi Lingmiao knock on the door, it seems that the people who are guarding the back door are all women.

"Big sister, we just want to ask, do you buy black charcoal in your house?" Chi Lingmiao asked in a low voice while squeezing her already somewhat stiff face.

"You have black charcoal!" A smile instantly bloomed on the woman's face in front of her.

As soon as Chi Lingmiao heard this, her heart became excited, "Yes, yes, there are many, a lot, big sister, do you want to take a look?" ”

"Wait a minute, I'll find someone." The woman closed the door suddenly, thinking that it was inappropriate, and opened it again, "Auntie, don't go, don't go, I will come immediately." ”

After speaking, the door closed again, but this time Chi Lingmiao and the others were not disappointed, and some were longing.

"Boss, this family should be in need of black charcoal." Chi Lingmiao said excitedly.

"Look, it looks." Qi Shan also had a smile on his face.

"Boss, then how much do we sell a catty?" Chi Lingmiao asked.

"Then I'll see someone who can make an idea." Qi Shan said with a smile.

Half an hour later, the back door opened, and the woman who had opened it was followed by a better-dressed woman, "Steward Qiu, they are the ones who have come to sell black charcoal." ”

The man named Steward Qiu was about thirty or forty years old, fair-skinned, with a serious expression and a feeling of not being angry and arrogant.

"This lady please come in and say." Steward Qiu looked at Chi Lingmiao and said.

The first time she was called Mrs., Chi Lingmiao was a little flustered, and waved her hand again and again, "I'm not a lady, I'm just a peasant woman, and my husband's surname is Qi." ”

"Sister-in-law Qi." Steward Qiu looked at Chi Lingmiao's expression a little more gentle, she didn't like people who couldn't climb the pole, "We have all your black charcoal in Qiu Mansion, and now we invite Sister-in-law Qi to come in, let's take a look at the black charcoal, and then talk about the price." ”

Chi Lingmiao looked back at Qi Shan, she was not good at this, "I am good at being in charge, I ......"

Steward Qiu saw that there was a middle-aged man outside the house, two young men and a little girl, "Then come in, the donkey cart is parked outside the door, and the black charcoal is all moved down." ”

When the door behind him closed, Chi Lingmiao was a little nervous, but he didn't look around, Qi Jiuli didn't look around, just glanced at the people in front of him.

After seeing the expression of this family, Steward Qiu became more and more satisfied, not a shallow family, and his upbringing was not bad, "I am the steward in the lady's room in the backyard of Qiu's house, you can call me Steward Qiu, we have recently added a happy event in our house, and we need black charcoal, if your black charcoal is good, we will all have it." ”

"Steward Qiu, you can just give it a try." Qi Shan bowed his head and said respectfully, after all, he is a foreign man, he shouldn't look directly at the woman in the backyard, if it weren't for the fact that he was the only one who came out to talk now, he really didn't want to speak.

Qi Shan's reaction Steward Qiu was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that he was a polite person, and he gave the woman on the side a look, and someone came over with a hand stove, and Chi Lingmiao cleverly removed the branches on the basket one by one, and the straw was also opened, revealing the black charcoal below.

The woman took the black charcoal and added it to the hand stove, and then all the people stared at the hand stove, and when they saw that the black charcoal was ignited, they were all overjoyed.

Steward Qiu took a closer look and showed a shallow smile, "Well, yes, how much do you plan to sell this black charcoal?" ”

"I think Steward Qiu also knows the price of black charcoal sold in the shops in the town, and the price we sell is the same as theirs." Qi Shan said seriously.

Steward Qiu's smile deepened slightly when he heard this, "Okay, you guys are real, come here, weigh all these five baskets of black charcoal." ”

When Qishan and the others heard that everyone wanted it, they showed a happy look on their faces.

"We often buy black charcoal in our house, and it is 12 yuan a catty, and this price can be achieved?" Steward Qiu asked.

"Steward Qiu is fair, thank you." Qi Shan said with some excitement.

"By the way, I wonder where you're from?" Steward Qiu asked, "If we still need black charcoal, we can find someone." ”

Qi Shan and Chi Lingmiao all showed surprised expressions, Qi Shan came back to his senses and hurriedly reported to his family, "Manager Qiu, I am from Qiliangou, a village below Jinshui Town, called Qishan, as long as you enter the village and ask, you will know it." ”

Steward Qiu nodded, "Okay, if we still need it, we will send someone to the door." ”

"Yes."

"Steward Qiu, after the scales, it's a total of two hundred and thirty-two pounds." The woman smiled and said that her wife had just given birth to a young master, and it was when she needed to use charcoal, so she had two hundred catties and could have a good confinement.

"Count two hundred and forty pounds." Steward Qiu smiled and said, "You let the account office count the money." ”

"Yes."

After half an hour, the woman came over with a small purse, "a total of two taels and eight hundred and eighty wen, and the five hundred wen bookkeeper also gave the silver horn." ”

When Qi Jiuli heard this number, his heart was relieved, and his face also showed a look of joy, this Qiu Mansion is a kind family, and his luck is still good today, this price is double that of the Yuji grocery store.

Steward Qiu opened the purse and poured out the silver inside, counted it in front of Qi Shan and the others before putting it back, and then handed the purse to Chi Lingmiao, "Sister-in-law Qi." ”

"Hey, thank you, thank you, Steward Qiu." Chi Lingmiao was holding the purse and was very excited.

Steward Qiu smiled and took out a red envelope from his sleeve and handed it to Chi Lingmiao, "Our lady just gave birth to a little young master, this is happy money, sister-in-law Qi, you are also coincidental, and you are happy." ”

Chi Lingmiao was overjoyed when she heard it, and she couldn't say anything if she refused, so she took it and thanked her.

Qi Jiuli took the basket in Qi Shixiang's hand, took off the coarse cloth on it, and smiled and gave Steward Qiu a look, "Congratulations to your mansion for a long melon, Erchang Erchi, and Steward Qiu, this is the egg we picked up at home, it is our meager gift, and we ask Steward Qiu to accept it." ”
