Chapter 41: Buy a shop
"Sister-in-law, help! Brother Lu, he's going to kill someone! Song Wenzhi hugged his head and began to howl when he saw her bringing medicine in.
Zhong Libai gave him a look, and waited for Lu Zhiqiong to withdraw his hand before leaning over, "Do you drink the medicine first or are you drinking it with sugar?" ”
"Why did you get through so early today?" Lu Zhiqiong deliberately found words, that is, he didn't want to drink medicine.
"Uncle Lu is going to help get the wood for the shelf bed today, so I got up early." Zhong Libai handed over the bowl and explained by the way.
Song Wenzhi pricked up his ears and listened carefully, inexplicably feeling that Brother Lu was not Brother Lu anymore, his tone was so gentle, it was really scary!
Lu Zhiqiong glanced at him coldly, and Song Wenzhi was so frightened that he slammed the person to the ground.
"Okay, what's wrong with a child, hurry up and drink medicine." Zhong Libai stopped Lu Zhiqiong from playing on the topic.
Lu Zhiqiong wanted to fool the past, but who knew that in terms of drinking medicine, Xiaobai didn't give him a little water.
"Xiaobai, I'm going to have a nosebleed every day when I'm making up for it." Lu Zhiqiong complained in a low voice.
The little beggar didn't allow him to touch it, but he had to use the tonic jar every day, his body was already exhausted, and he couldn't help but drink it.
Zhong Libai couldn't hear the meaning of his words, stared at the man obediently drank the medicine and stuffed a sugar cube in his mouth.
"Don't beat you to death, you have something to say." She hinted not to bully other children's children too much.
Song Wenzhi immediately jumped up, thanked his sister-in-law happily, and wanted to take the opportunity to climb up and get out of the friendship, but was blocked by crutches.
Song Wenzhi couldn't hide it, he was beaten by Lu Zhiqiong and honestly confessed, Xu Mu didn't work hard to attract them to Xujia Village.
"So it was really you yesterday?" Lu Zhiqiong's eyes darkened completely.
Song Wenzhi chuckled in his heart, "Brother Lu, Brother Lu is not angry, although I am a bastard, I haven't really done it!" And that's my sister-in-law, how dare I! ”
God borrowed a hundred guts from him, and he didn't dare to hit his sister-in-law with his idea, he was purely lip pro, and he didn't really practice it.
Despite the honest move, Song Wenzhi was still beaten hard, with a blue nose and swollen face, cheeky to eat at Lu's house.
Zhong Libai didn't care about him, as long as he wasn't a bad guy and didn't harm Lu Zhiqiong, she hoped to have a few more friends to accompany Lu Tianxian.
Recently, because of the landing dome, she has not even been to the town, let alone go out to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables, and he has followed behind his ass.
In recent days, Song Wenzhi often came to Lu's house, accompanied by Lu Zhiqiong to recite poems, Zhong Libai was a lot more relaxed, and took Hong Ye to the mountains every day.
"Hong Ye, don't go home for dinner today!" Zhong Libai invited his friends to eat at his home.
She was afraid of refusal, so she mentioned again, "I'll get some cake later, you can stay and help me!" ”
Grandma Hong's body is quite tough, and it is no problem for her to cook by herself, but unfortunately she can't recruit her, so she can only find a way to send things to people.
They also stocked up on a lot of eggs at home, but many of them were sent by Grandma Hong, and taught her how to divide the eggs and leave the fertilized hatching eggs.
Hong Ye's refusal was invalid, so he could only respond, "If I can't get it right, you can't laugh at me." ”
"Don't worry, it's easy." Zhong Libai walked and told her how to make cakes.
When Lu Zhiqiong heard the sound of the outer courtyard, he came out to pick her up with a cane, and he had to reach out to pick up Zhong Libai's back basket.
Zhong Libai was afraid of pressing people, worried that he would refuse Lu Tianxian and he would do it again, so he had to follow him, and he didn't let go in time, and the two of them put the back basket on the ground at the same time.
Song Wenzhi did the same, and went to fish for the back basket of Hong Ye, "Little girl, I'll come, give me this!" ”
Hong Ye thanked him embarrassedly, for fear of soiling the other party's clothes, so he let go of Song Wenzhi's hand.
As a result, there were too many things in the back basket and it was very heavy, and Song Wenzhi's son-in-law had no strength, and the whole person was smashed and threw himself on the ground.
Hong Ye was so frightened that he hurriedly stretched out his hand to help people, and the mud marks on his hands rubbed on Song Wenzhi's clothes, and he was so frightened that he quickly let go, but Song Gongzi still fell.
"Well deserved!" Lu Zhiqiong has no brotherly love at all.
Zhong Libai didn't laugh at a child, so he asked Hong Ye to help the person up, and she went to pick up the things that fell out.
While picking it up, she discussed with Lu Zhiqiong, "We dug up some autumn bamboo shoots today, do you want to eat sour or spicy, or a mix of the two?" ”
Lu Zhiqiong thought for a while, "It's all good." ”
"Hong Ye, what about you?" Zhong Libai asked his friend again, and asked Song Wenzhi by the way, "Song Gongzi stayed for dinner today, right?" Do you like to eat sweet or spicy? ”
Song Wenzhi looked at Hong Ye tightly, and then looked at the mud mark on his arm, "Your name is Hong Ye?" ”
Hong Ye slowly moved towards Zhong Libai, and responded cowardly, "Yes...... Yes. ”
Song Wenzhi bared his teeth and smiled slightly, "Which red, which leaf?" ”
Zhong Libai coughed, "Gongzi Song, don't tell me, you still have something to love at first sight." ”
She blocked Hong Ye behind her, "This is my friend, who is a little docile, but he can't enter the mansion." ”
Although she didn't know Song Wenzhi's family background, just looking at what he was wearing, she knew that the Song family was definitely not simple.
It's not that she looks down on Hong Ye for being incompetent, but mainly because she is afraid that her friend will be bullied when she enters the Song family, after all, her temperament is too anxious.
To put it nicely, it's kind, and to put it badly, it's cowardice, the kind that anyone can bully, and he won't live for half a year if he enters the mansion.
Song Wenzhi was completely rejected by his sister-in-law, and he didn't dare to continue to tease, and continued to fight against Brother Lu with a hippie smile.
"Hong Ye, don't be blinded by a pair of skins, the one surnamed Song may not be able to protect you." Zhongli Bai nodded to his friend.
Hong Ye's face flushed, "I didn't, don't talk nonsense." ”
Zhong Libai smiled lightly, "Really? You are seventeen years old this year, and when the filial piety period is over next year, there should be many people who will come to propose, right? ”
"Xiaobai, you ......" Hong Ye gently pinched her arm, "You still take out this kind of thing, are you ashamed of yourself." ”
"What's so shameful about this!" Zhong Libai gently bumped her on the shoulder, "Could it be that you won't marry in your life, huh?" ”
Hong Ye glared at her, and his powerless eyes caused Zhongli Bai to laugh, and he didn't dare to continue to provoke her, and began to teach her how to make cakes.
The two of them used the same ingredients, made separately, because they had to teach, the movements were a lot slower, and when they were baked, it was almost time for dinner.
"Hong Ye, I'll taste what you made." Zhong Libai cut the corner and tried it, and gave people a thumbs up, "It tastes good, you can give Grandma Hong a little back." ”
Hong Ye blushed slightly, and tasted it herself, it was no different from the taste that Xiaobai gave her, and she couldn't help but light up her eyes.
Zhong Libai went to deliver a cake to Lu Zhiqiong, brought Hong Ye with him, and told her that he wanted to buy a shop and sell cakes.
"How? Someone who came to be my shopkeeper? Zhong Libai asked very directly.
She doesn't like to beat around the bush, it's just a sentence, if you come to the price is negotiable, if you don't come, everything before will be in vain.
So she prefers to ask clearly about the business she is talking about, she doesn't want her mouth to be worn out, and the other party doesn't agree at all, isn't that a waste of effort.
"Xiaobai, I'm ...... May I? Hong Ye was happy in his heart, but he was afraid of causing trouble.
"I say you can do it, you can do it." Zhongli Bai patted Hong Ye's shoulder.
She squeezed into her chair, "You have to believe in yourself, learn to do it, don't be afraid of regret, regret is the future, do it first, the most important thing is to be happy." ”
"Poof!" Song Wenzhi, who was eating cake next to him, couldn't help laughing.
"I'm sorry sister-in-law, I'm not laughing at you." Song Wenzhi was so frightened that he quickly admitted his mistake, "I just think your speech is quite interesting." ”
Zhong Libai glared at him and continued to coax his friend, "I have a lot of things to do at home, so I definitely don't have time to go to town often." ”
She pointed at Lu Zhiqiong, "My husband's leg is not good, and the weather is getting colder, it's almost the New Year, I can't leave him alone for a shop!" ”
The colder her leg was, the more it hurt, and she finally pulled Lu Tianxian back from hell, but she didn't want him to sink on herself.
"Say yes! I can pull customers for you, and I'm not afraid that the cake will not sell well. Song Wenyi was nibbling on the cake while cheering people up.
I have to say that the cake is really delicious, and my sister-in-law is too good! No, the most powerful thing is Brother Lu, who can marry such a good wife.
"Xiaobai is willing to take you to make money, it's your luck." Lu Zhiqiong snorted with a calm face.
The little beggar has begged for so much, this woman still dares to think about it for so long, if it weren't for her being Zhong Libai's friend, Lu Zhiqiong would definitely not allow her to come to the Lu family.
Hong Ye was bombed by several people in turn, where is there no reason, she is not worried about making money, she is worried about messing up Xiaobai.
"If you agree, I'll take care of the rest." Zhongli Bai smiled and raised his eyebrows.
After dinner, Xu Mao also came, along with Xu Shan, plus a Fushu, and the four of them were led into the inner courtyard.
Hong Ye, Xu Mao, and Xu Shan are innocent, although Fu Shu was bought, the sale/body deed has long been returned, and he is not considered a subordinate.
Zhong Libai's wages for the four of them are quite high, and Hong Ye is the shopkeeper and the master of making cakes.
Fu Shu is a thug, but also a cashier, Xu Mao pulls the car, while taking care of the service, Xu Shan is a logistics staff, and at the same time has to take care of the store.
Zhong Libai is the boss, but she doesn't need to go to the store often, the main force is put on the four of them, and the manpower can be brought from Lu Jiayun.
After talking about things, Zhong Libai went to the town, with a few batches of made medicinal materials, a car full of dozens of neat yards, which were particularly spectacular.
After Zhong Langzhong saw the medicinal materials, he took the order without saying a word, and planned to sign a long-term cooperation contract with Zhong Libai, so that the good medicinal materials would not be sold.
Of course Zhong Libai would not refuse, she thought it would be good to be able to retail, but she didn't expect to be able to do wholesale, and she thought that she would have to expand the cultivation of medicinal herbs when she went back.
Several batches of medicinal materials were scraped together, and the wholesale price was sold at a total of more than 600 taels, which was a sky-high price in the eyes of the peasant family.
Hong Ye was with Zhong Libai, and they were all stunned when they heard this price, and they admired Xiaobai even more.
