Chapter 82
Lin Baoru didn't know that when she came to buy soap beans before, the shopkeeper Sun, who was still kind-hearted, secretly had this kind of plan.
At this time, she leaned a few bundles of firewood pushed by the Wang family against the root of the wall, and then explained a few words to the aunt who was already familiar with the baked cakes on the side, and asked people to help take a look at the firewood first.
Originally, this was not a big deal, just a glance, so the aunt didn't say anything, just smiled and agreed.
After settling the belongings, Lin Baoru helped Wang tie up the remaining two bundles of firewood on the small cart, and then the two of them sent them to the restaurant where the firewood was delivered last time.
At that time, the person who was called uncle by Lin Baoru happened to open the back door, and when he saw Lin Baoru, he laughed first, "Hey, I said that I was so happy early in the morning, and I dare to love you, a girl who can speak well." ”
As he spoke, he saw the firewood on Wang's trolley. The Chai He is obviously more than the one he bought for six cents a year ago, just looking at the straight and thick Chai He stick, he knows that this is a good sale for the two mothers and daughters in front of him.
So he hurriedly opened the back door and called for a guy to come and unload the car. By the way, he boasted: "Your hearts and eyes can be true and sincere, those firewood and grass dried up a few years ago, I thought that the six cents were just a little cheap, but when I started the fire, I realized that I had a big bargain." ”
This shopkeeper was originally a kind man, he was born in a really poor life, and when he knew that people were poor, whether he was selling goods or working, he seemed to be a little shorter in the eyes of those who had some extra money.
So after he made his fortune, every time he saw a farmer with a real heart, he would think of his cold eyes because he had no money to eat. Naturally, as long as he needs it, he is also happy to pull others.
Lin Baoru saw that he was speaking happily, and also said with a smile: "What we promised to my uncle at that time, we naturally remembered." Originally, I wanted to come over first and ask my uncle if he needed firewood, but I was afraid of running in vain, after all, only me and my mother came to the market today, and no one helped to watch the stall. So, after thinking about it, I dragged my mother with me. ”
As he was saying this, a woman in an apron came out of the kitchen. The woman's face was a little rough and dark, and the face of the flatbread was pitted, perhaps because it was too much urged by the cold wind, leaving many cracks.
If it's just like this, forget it, she also smeared a lot of gouache, which looks both unconforming and a little weird.
It's just that the shopkeeper didn't think she was ugly, and happily beckoned someone over, and said happily: "Xiaomei, this is the girl who sold me Chai He and soap beans that day, you see, just looking at it is a clever one." ”
When Aunt Mei heard this, she really looked at Lin Baoru. She is ugly, but she has a good temperament, and she is even more eager to see a handsome girl, so when she saw Lin Baoru generously let her look at it, she liked it even more.
"Well, this girl is good-looking, and she looks smarter than the people who delivered firewood and vegetables in the past." As she spoke, she laughed first, "Little girl, don't be annoyed with me, I'm ugly, so I like handsome people the most." ”
Lin Baoru showed a shy expression, "Auntie, don't make fun of me, I don't look good." ”
When Aunt Mei heard this, her face was as black as a yaksha and she shook a few times. She smiled happily: "Saying that you don't look good in front of me isn't scolding me!" ”
When Wang saw the visitor, he was a little restrained in his heart. Now that I heard her words, I seemed to be a little annoyed, and I subconsciously snorted.
Lin Baoru smiled as usual, she swept the back of the woman's hand, and saw that although the back of the hand was not smooth, it was obviously much more slippery than the face, so she blessed her body decently, and then smiled briskly: "Old aunt, don't you dare to blame me." I brought good things to my aunt today, originally to please my uncle, so that he would patronize our business in the future. But now that I see my aunt, I understand who I should please me. ”
As she spoke, she winced her eyebrows and handed Aunt Mei a look. This made the shopkeeper's uncle embarrassed, but it made Aunt Mei's fangs disappear from her eyes.
"Okay, well, just rely on your words, and the firewood used in the restaurant in the future, I will be the master of your family." As she spoke, her big black and thick hand patted Lin Baoru's arm.
When Wang pushed the trolley and went to unload the firewood with the guys, he was still a little confused. Why didn't my own daughter say a few words, but she decided to sell firewood at home?
It's not that she can't come back to her senses, she is really selling firewood, not only her own family, but also other farmers in Xishi, every time she meets a buyer, she can't wait to nod her head and serve people well.
Even she often softens her temper, and when she sells firewood, she respects and gives people a dry branch. Sometimes, two bundles are folded into one bundle and sold cheaper.
But now it is clear that his firewood has grown to six cents a bundle, and this buyer is still happy.
She couldn't figure it out, but Lin Baoru knew that she was just doing what she liked. A few years ago, when he only looked at the appearance of the shopkeeper picking firewood, he knew that he must have chopped firewood and sold firewood before, and he knew the Tao in the whole bundle of firewood.
For example, some people look at the large bundle of firewood, but in fact, the firewood is not dried thoroughly at all, and it is not as good as drying when burned. Or some people are greedy for more sales, and bundle the firewood with fragmented branches, which is really not useful for the restaurant.
And his words at that time are enough to prove that he is a person who values practicality. So today, Lin Baoru specially helped the Wang family add a few more firewood, and it seemed that he had more firewood sticks, but once the business was properly stated, it would be a stable entry from now on.
Moreover, she carefully calculated that it was much better to supply firewood to the restaurant than to sell it in the West Market.
Moreover, just now when she saw the kindness of the shopkeeper to Aunt Mei, she guessed that this was probably a couple who had suffered. Otherwise, with the appearance of an uncle and the money that is now running a restaurant, how can he speak softly in front of a black woman?
Therefore, in the former, she voted for the shopkeeper's uncle. Later, she complimented and laughed at Aunt Mei.
Of course, it's not that she thinks Aunt Mei is easy to be emotional. After all, coaxing people to be happy is just the icing on Inoinoe. Fundamentally, Aunt Mei can also see that her own firewood is very affordable for the restaurant to stir-fry and cook on weekdays.
When Wang went to unload the car, Lin Baoru took out a few new soap beans from the basket on his arm and handed them over, "Old aunt, I originally planned to find a grocery store to deliver them in a while, and by the way, I wanted to find a few sellers to help sell the new soap beans I just mixed." But now I look at the old aunt and feel kind, so I will use a few pieces for you first, just use a rare one. ”
The soap beans smashed out of the ash water of plants and trees are much brighter and cleaner without the white and gray color of plant ash. Aunt Mei just looked at it, and knew that it must be much better than what her man bought before.
Her eyes lit up, she stretched out her hand to take the things and looked at them for a while, before she smiled and said, "That can't let you give it away for nothing, when you settle the firewood and money for a while, let your uncle give it together." ”
Aunt Mei is also a straight-minded person, and she is not the kind of greedy person in the first place. Cheap sex. Moreover, after she married her own man, she suffered a lot, and she also tasted the warmth and coldness of people. Now that I'm older, I used to have a hard heart like iron, but I'm slowly softening, and when I see a girl who is the same age as myself when I was suffering, I'm happy to give it a good one.
Besides, she is now guarding the restaurant, and her children can earn money working on takeaways, so she is very proud. Naturally, they will not take advantage of other girls.
But the shopkeeper uncle who had been smiling on the side frowned, "You said you sold soap beans to the Shunlai grocery store?" ”
Lin Baoru saw that the shopkeeper's expression was a little not good, so she naturally chuckled in her heart, "Well, on the second day of the new year, the shopkeeper Sun from the grocery store went to my house to buy it." He also bought a lot of them, and collected all the soap beans from my family. ”
The shopkeeper frowned, and looked at her without saying anything, as if he was very embarrassed.
Seeing this, Aunt Mei smacked him and said, "You're afraid of a ball, it's not once or twice that Sun Lao Dog used this method to deceive people." With that, she pulled Lin Baoru to explain, "Girl, you are fooled!" ”
"By the way, the grocery store is not a good thing, looking at the outside is decent, but the core is already bad."
"If he can't make something, he will buy a batch of that thing first, and while selling it, he will have people send it to his owner's workshop for study, but if he finds a way, the object will become his family's own. But whoever sells it again will not get any good. Aunt Mei said as she took a few sips of disgust, "If he can't research the recipe, he will even use all means to steal the recipe." ”
But partially, after he got the recipe, as long as the original owner's family came to the door to reason, he would be bitten back.
"At the beginning, the Zhang family in Dashi Village, you have heard of it, other people's daughters-in-law who make and sell tea in a good manner, can be accused of stealing the recipe by him." Speaking of those things, Aunt Mei was a little indignant, and at the beginning, her family also used a lot of tea from the Zhang family to entertain people, but as soon as the Zhang family was accused, several groups of people came to the yamen to ask questions. In those few days, not to mention doing business, even the original belongings were taken away by those miscellaneous servants.
Later, the owner of the grocery store assigned Sun Laogou to come over and ask for some tea money. Oh, it's a shame that they can figure it out, Dashi Village in Liulin Town is hundreds of miles away, and this can also give people a dirty reputation!
Lin Baoru frowned, she really hadn't heard of these things. Before, she saw that the shopkeeper Sun was like a smiling Buddha, and there were rules for speaking and doing things, and she also thought that although the business was not as written in her previous life, it did not fall on the paper contract, and then talked about the business for a long time, but it was a good market.
But now listening to Aunt Mei's words, she suddenly woke up. At that time, the shopkeeper Sun decided not to mention the matter of dropping the paperwork, because he was selling soap beans to make a name for himself while pondering the idea of the recipe.
No wonder he is not afraid of turning his face and denying the account, and when it is sold, he will not admit the cheap things he mentioned.
As soon as she thought of this, Lin Baoru panicked a little in her heart.
