222 New shop
The back mountain of Songjia Village is quite big, but no matter how big the place is, it can't withstand the tossing of the villagers, and in less than three days, there is not a single chestnut on the back mountain of Songjia Village.
Other villages have long been ready to move, but Song Erniu does not let go. On this day, after the mountain behind Songjia Village was beaten. Aunt Fang came over to ask Song Erniu if she wanted to accept chestnuts from nearby villages?
Song Erniu went to the warehouse to take a look, the new house is very large, there are few real people, and almost all of them are chestnuts except for the residents. There are several rooms full, which seem to be very weighty, but Bai Gongzi plans to open another branch, and even thinks about going to Zhenjiang Mansion to open one. If it really opens in the future, these chestnuts will not be enough.
However, at present, these promises have not been fulfilled, and Song Erniu does not want to act rashly.
"Aunt Fang, don't be in a hurry, I'll go to the town in the afternoon to ask Bai Gongzi, and when there is news over there, it's not too late to release the news."
Aunt Fang felt that Song Erniu was cautious in doing this, after all, there were already so many chestnuts stored at home. If something happens, won't these chestnuts be smashed in your hands?
"Okay, then I'll go back and get busy first." When she turned around, Aunt Fang thought of something, "By the way, there are still people in the village who ask about the business of the puppets, and I haven't explained it to them." If someone asks you later, don't say much, save them and say something that they don't have. ”
Aunt Fang was worried that the women in the village would be heard by Song Erniu chewing their tongues, so she greeted her in advance. Song Erniu didn't come to the village on the first day, so she naturally knew about the problems of these women.
She's too busy all day long, so she doesn't have the time to worry about this.
But Aunt Fang has a good intention, she will not be unappreciative.
"Don't worry, auntie, I know how to do it."
Aunt Fang was in a hurry to go back to help, but Song Erniu didn't stay long. After lunch, Song Erniu went to the town in an ox cart.
Song Dalang and Chunxi had already gone to the county seat yesterday. Bai Gongzi came back today to pull chestnuts and left early tomorrow morning. When Song Erniu passed, Bai Gongzi was drinking tea upstairs. Doctor Xue sat in the lobby. Seeing him come in, he turned aside dissatisfiedly.
Last time, Doctor Xue went to Songjia Village to eat and drink, but Song Erniu was so busy all day long that she couldn't be seen, not to mention delicious, it was not easy to eat a full meal every day. After Doctor Xue expressed all kinds of dissatisfaction to no avail, he returned to the town in a fit of anger.
Originally, Song Erniu planned to ask Doctor Xue to go back and live for two days after this busy time, who knew that people also had tempers, no matter what Song Erniu said, Doctor Xue just ignored her.
Song Erniu had no choice, so she could only ask for a request every time she came, and as for the result, she could only see Doctor Xue.
"Divine Doctor Xue, I brought you sauce elbows, which just came out of the pot, and they are still hot."
When Song Erniu came, she deliberately brought some sauce elbows, wrapped in lotus leaves, and there was some heat all the way over.
Doctor Xue didn't want to pay attention to Song Erniu, but the sauce elbow was too fragrant, and Doctor Xue couldn't resist the temptation, hesitated again and again, and finally took it.
"Hmph, don't think that if the old man takes your sauce elbow, the old man won't care about the previous things."
"Yes, yes, one yard to one yard. I know. Then Doctor Xue, you eat first, and I'll go up for a while. ”
Divine Doctor Xue's face had improved slightly, but when he heard this, he immediately pulled down his face, "The old man is the one you came to see on the way." ”
Suddenly nothing was fragrant, Doctor Xue awkwardly stuffed the sauce elbow into Song Erniu's hand, and began to drive people, "Let's go, don't come in the future." ”
"Old man, good manners, why are you losing your temper again."
Doctor Xue went back to the backyard angrily, and Song Erniu was anxious to see Bai Gongzi, so she asked the little maid to put away the sauce elbow first, and she went to the second floor.
"What's the matter, the old man is losing his temper again?"
The movement downstairs was not small, and Bai Gongzi's ear power was excellent, so he naturally heard it.
Song Erniu smiled awkwardly, "It's also that I'm not good, I always want to keep him for a few days when I have time, and serve him well, but there is always something." He should be angry. ”
"Although the divine doctor's temper is strange, every time the temper comes and goes quickly, maybe when you leave, she will be fine."
Song Erniu nodded approvingly.
"By the way, why did you come to Young Master Ben today?"
Song Erniu put away her thoughts and began to get down to business, "Bai Gongzi said before that he was going to open a branch in the county seat, and he was going to Zhenjiang Mansion to open a shop, I don't know if he was talking about it, or if he really wanted to do it?" ”
Bai Gongzi thought it was something, and when he heard this, he smiled directly, "The second shop in the county will open in the next two days, and Young Master Ben came back this time to tell you about this matter." ”
"There was a delay in the morning, I thought I would wait to go to Songjia Village to discuss with you in person, but I didn't expect you to come first"
Bai Gongzi motioned for Song Erniu to sit down and talk in detail, "The business in the county is very good, and a shop really can't sell it, so I found a vacant branch from the Bai family's shop where the business is not very good." It's just that the shop is easy to open, but the people who make chestnuts ...... At the beginning, we said okay, I will go out of the shop, and you will go out. Can Mrs. Song remember? ”
"Naturally, I remember, it's just that Bai Gongzi said that he was too anxious, and for a while, I couldn't find any extra people. When the new shop opens, I'll go back and prepare. ”
"Three days later."
Three days later? This time is indeed a bit anxious, but sugar fried chestnuts are not a technical job, as long as you are careful enough, there is no big problem.
Song Erniu originally came to ask about the new shop, but now that she has a settlement, she didn't stay long, and asked when she would send someone over, and how many goods she would hand over three days later, and then took an ox cart back to Songjia Village.
On the way back, Song Erniu told Uncle Song the good news, and Uncle Song was happy for Song Erniu.
"Erniu just has the ability, and the business is good, so let's see how the people in the village chew their tongues in the future."
Because of the puppet business, now the people in the village are flattering Song Erniu on the surface, but they don't say bad things about him behind his back. Some even gloated, saying that she was not the material for business, and that the puppet business could be yellow, and the chestnut business would definitely be yellow.
Some people even beat chestnuts and do not sell them, and secretly make sugar-fried chestnuts at home, and the result is hard and unpalatable.
There are also people who can do it, but it is still too different from the taste of their home, and when they are brought to the town, no one buys a penny or a pound.
When everyone was jealous that Song Erniu had the ability, she still couldn't help but say sour things.
Uncle Song didn't say this to Song Erniu, but he kept thinking about it in his heart.
This will hear the good news and can't help but mutter.
When Song Erniu heard this, she smiled gratefully, "It's just a few gossips, I don't care." Uncle, don't take it to heart. ”
After returning to the village, Song Erniu did not go home and went directly to Aunt Fang's house.
After Song Erniu finished telling the good news, Aunt Fang was very happy, "Does that mean that we can collect chestnuts again?" ”
