Chapter 102 Closing the Shop
Half a month passed as if the days had passed, and Rao was Liu Jiawang's daughter-in-law guarding the counter and saw that the goat milk delivered to the shop every day was less than one day, and she didn't dare to think about it at first, until it was another day, and the couple came over together in Li Zhigao's donkey cart early in the morning.
The donkey cart was usually full of goat's milk, and there were only four small buckets left of it.
The husband and wife looked at each other silently, and frowned in unison. The month before the month before Li Zhigao Village before the village after the collection of goat milk is booming, a trip can not be sent at all, each time to say less also have to be transported twice, sent to the spring back to the house and have to be moved several times, today to the town, two trips back and forth four small barrels of goat milk to be emptied.
Geng Rong fished out the copper plate from the front shop, and with the hard work of ten yuan for a trip, plus the commission of two yuan per barrel, Li Zhigao could only earn eighteen yuan. In the past, the donkey cart made two trips back and forth for 20 Wen, and the commission of more than ten or twenty small barrels of goat milk was 30 or 40 Wen, and Zhigao could earn 50 or 60 Wen in the morning.
The young man in front of him was slightly red, and there was a slight depression between his thick eyebrows.
Geng Rong didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly went into the house and called Chun Gui to come out.
From ten or twenty barrels a day to seven or eight barrels to today's four barrels in just half a month, Chungui pursed the corners of his lips, and a thought flashed through his mind.
"Second Brother Li, what's going on in the village?"
Unexpectedly, Zhigao was hesitant, and he suddenly felt guilty on his face.
Chun Gui glanced at the four barrels of goat milk, and said lightly: "But the villagers dislike the low price of ten cents a barrel?" The second brother just told the truth, and only after I understood it could I think of countermeasures. ”
Li Zhigao immediately raised his eyes and said indignantly: "These people are too different things!" Just stir up a few random stirs and you'll get angry! ”
After he finished saying this, he explained what happened in these days, how did Li Lan and Cai Hongyun come to the door to provoke one by one, saying that it was a good means to exchange ten yuan for a bucket in the spring to change hands for hundreds of yuan, and the first time he was persuaded by Li Zheng, but he couldn't be persuaded later, and when they met with goat milk in several villages, they said that they wanted to raise the price together.
Chungui was silent for a moment, "Then how much do they say they want to mention?" ”
Geng Rong watched from the side, and when he looked at Li Zhigao's angry appearance, he knew that it was outrageous, and sure enough, it was ......
Zhigao was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick: "How can I be so angry if I mention five or six articles!" ”
"Then Li Lan and Cai Hongyun heard about your good business from somewhere, and they asked for a bucket of fifty wen with one mouth!"
"Fifty Wen?!"
Cai, who was coming out of the kitchen, immediately scolded: "A bucket of goat milk that no one wants to drink, giving ten cents to a bucket is already a spring return with kindness, and you dare to ask for fifty wen?!" Dare to love that this milk is from the ancestor of the naturally precious sheep?! ”
"This lion still has a degree of opening his mouth, why don't they pull a stone on the ground and go out and sell it for a hundred taels of silver!" A good business in the spring?! Do they have this craft in the spring?! Since the return of spring, she has been boiling in the kitchen in the dark early in the morning, and she can't lift half a tael of meat, and she said that her money is easy? ! ”
Cai's is not the gentle son of Chungui, so he scolded in anger, and the few people who listened to it were happy for a while.
Geng Rong was already angry, and Qi You asked him to ask Guo Ruyi about the milk that day, just in case there was really a lack of greed from the villagers, but he didn't expect that only half a month had passed, and there was really this one.
"That's it! Sister Chun doesn't have to pay attention to them! Let them go! ”
Chun Gui looked at Geng Rong's annoyed appearance and smiled: "Silly boy, how can there be such a reason." ”
She turned her head to look at Li Zhigao and said softly: "It was also because I cared about the feelings of the villagers at the beginning, and I didn't let you make a contract with them in advance, and now there is no place to reason if something goes wrong." ”
"I'll forget it today, fortunately, I have a lot of snacks here in addition to goat's milk, and four buckets of goat's milk can still last a little."
Li Zhigao had already foreseen: "But tomorrow ......" this half month is getting fewer and fewer day by day, which shows that more and more people have received provocations to raise prices.
How could Chun Gui not know what he meant, and the look on his face must be: "If there is less tomorrow, I will go back to Xiaoliang Mountain." ”
didn't dare to make trouble with her, the people in these four towns and eight villages still have some scruples, and they shouldn't completely tear their faces for the sake of a little affection, it's better for her to go over and find out, it's just ......
"You should also make a plan, if it really comes to the place where you don't look at the feelings, then I will never dare to accept the goat's milk."
Geng Rong, who had been listening for a long time, was so anxious that he couldn't hold back anymore when he heard this: "Oh, Sister Chun, I mean it!" It's up to these greedy people to make trouble! ”
"Brother Qi You and Brother Zhixing have already thought of a way for you!"
As soon as his words fell, Chungui was immediately stunned, and wondered: "How do they know?" ”
Geng Rong then told Zhimin's doubts after the Zheng Niangzi came that day, he went to the county newspaper to Xin'er, and Qi You and the two taught him to ask Guo Ruyi for help from beginning to end.
His face turned red, and then he remembered Qi You's instructions: "Originally, Brother Qi You didn't ask me to tell you, he said that someone might have pointed out the two black-hearted women in the future, maybe someone pointed out the two black-hearted women later, and you can't do anything alone, I'm afraid that you will know in advance and be afraid, and then solve it together when they are at home." ”
It's just that I didn't expect this to come so quickly, it's only been half a month, and I really asked Li Lan and Cai Hongyun to pick up most of the people, and Qi You Zhixing made a big fuss before he returned home.
Chun Gui already had mixed feelings in his heart, and Qi You and the two of them were forgotten, Zhimin saw what was behind this early that day, but he was afraid that she would worry about it, so he turned his head and made an agreement with Qi You.
She said with some displeasure: "These few, when I am a three-year-old child, can I still be afraid of such a thing." "Even Zhimin has reached the age of adulthood, and she looks like a child who needs to be protected in the eyes of these people.
Isn't this matter solved, she opened a shop, and she was afraid that the supply would be cut off, but now several people have already found a substitute milk for her, not to mention, even the strangeness behind this matter can be seen. According to Qi You's thoughts, I can't see her suffer a little loss, and when she comes back in two days, she must have given the matter without her.
"Sister Chun, don't go back there, these people are so forgetful, they will be angry with you again!"
Geng Rong's wanderings for nearly a year have tasted the warmth and coldness of human affection, and he knows best how two-faced and three-faced such a person is, although his face is gentle and simple, he is unguardable when he splashes it.
"There is no goat's milk, I will go to Miss Guo to ask about the road to the farm on the outskirts of the town, and recognize it with Brother Zhigao, it is not better to use milk from tomorrow." Besides, Brother Qi You will be back in two days, with him here, we don't have to be afraid of someone behind the scenes! ”
He thought about it thoughtfully, and Li Zhigao on the side nodded early: "Spring return girl, Geng Rong is right, how many people in your shop come over for goat's milk snacks in a day, and they can't stand the delay." ”
"Yes, Chungui, you treat those people well enough, but the people's hearts are insufficient, they started this, you don't have to be embarrassed, there are benefits of not making a contract, they want to raise the price like this, you don't have to care about your face."
Cai Shi was also persuaded by the side.
Chun Hui looked at these people, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
She doesn't need these people to admonish her, she also knows what is at stake. She is not a virgin, and she can't repay her grievances with virtue.
It's just that....... If it is really as Qi You said, there is someone behind the instigation, then this person still has to find out early and pass the bright side, otherwise there is a precedent of goat's milk today, and there will be that jerky tomorrow, and it will be impossible to prevent it.
She raised her eyes, and she had made up her mind.
"Second Brother Li, I bother you to collect goat's milk as usual for the past two days, you can collect as much as you can, even if there is only half a bucket left, you don't have to show timidity on your face, you just pay the money and collect it."
Cai's was anxious when he heard this: "Spring return, there will be four buckets today, and maybe even less tomorrow, how can you open this shop?" ”
"I think I'll ask Ah Rong to run in the afternoon, let's go to the ranch tomorrow to have a look, and use milk early!"
Chungui shook his head and comforted: "Sister Cai, don't worry, there are many people who come here every day, how many people are worried about this stuttering, as long as we have our skills, there are only a lot of guests." It doesn't matter if it stops for ten days and half a month. ”
Cai was stunned: "What's the matter?" Do you still want to close the shop? ”
Geng Rong's mind turned quickly, and he had already understood the intention of the spring return a little, and Zhigao was still a little confused, but he didn't interrupt her.
Chungui nodded: "If the goat's milk is less every day, I can't make dim sum here, if there is no dim sum that the guests want, I can only close the shop and rest soon." ”
"Yes....... But we can use that milk! Cai was faintly aware, but he was still frightened by the closure of the shop.
Geng Rong was already very anxious: "Oh, Sister Cai, if you close the shop, won't the person who is really pampering behind you be able to take the lead!" ”
Cai Hongyun and Li Lan's petty popularity, how can they have the brains to pry the villagers of the four towns and eight villages so accurately, it is nothing more than someone behind them to point out or instigate, but now that spring is in the light, he is in the dark, unless Cai Hongyun and Li Lan are arrested and beaten and questioned, no one knows which crazy thing it is.
It's better to meet their wishes first, see that this shop is innocently closed, who jumps out first and jumps the happiest!
Chungui nodded approvingly and continued: "Such a heart-wrenching instigation, and also picked Li Lan and Cai Hongyun, in order to make me unable to open this shop, I am afraid that such a means will be peers." ”
Cai Shi has long been stunned in place, she is a country woman, after many years, the most terrible person is to quarrel with other people, and once she was lucky enough to go around this town, she even experienced such a dirty thing.
She shouted: "Li Lan and Cai Hongyun are not just shells who fell into the mud hole, and they are right!" ”
After reacting, she continued to scold the two people: "No matter which bastard thing is behind it, sooner or later, these two dead-faced pickles will have to find someone to pick them up and beat them up to relieve their anger!" ”
"And those folks! How many of them have grown up watching the spring return. ”
Chungui patted her hand to appease her, and continued to instruct Li Zhigao.
"If someone still asks about the price increase, Second Brother Li doesn't have to shy away from it, just say that the price has been set a long time ago, and there is no such thing as raising the price, if you don't want to, you can not sell the goat milk to me!"
Li Zhigao's trip was as if he had taken a reassuring pill, and quickly nodded: "I know!" ”
And on the second day, as I thought the day before, there were only three buckets of goat's milk left on the donkey cart.
One of the barrels is still with the village chief.
In addition to these two, only four or five villagers have not been successfully instigated, and they are willing to make a deal with Chungui.
Chungui sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, rubbed the teacup quietly, and opened his mouth after thinking for a long time: "Second Brother Li, you will write down these villagers." ”
"When this is over, I will have to thank them for their trust."
"Others...... From tomorrow, the second brother will let go, I will no longer accept goat milk, and the villagers who are still dreaming of fifty wen a bucket of goat milk can wake up. ”
"As for this shop....... Chun Gui got up and said, "It'll be closed tomorrow!" ”
