Chapter 26: The Plum Lady (5)
Liu Xing'er squatted down and touched the cabbage in the field.
"I don't hide it from my aunt, we open the door to do business, and we are quite clear about the price on the market, and I won't rely on the large amount to excessively lower the price, the market is sold at three pennies a catty, and we charge ...... at the price of two cents a catty."
As soon as he heard this, Zhang's eyes were about to glow.
You must know that there are too many people who make a living from farming in Stone Town, and few people accept her goods at this price.
This little lady is really too young.
Liu Xing'er saw that Zhang's smile was almost closed, so she asked, "Auntie, is this price feasible?" ”
Zhang's delighted connection.
"Okay, okay."
Liu Xing'er said with satisfaction: "Auntie's dishes are fresh and rich, two pennies a pound is not low, in Stone Town, I also think it is worth the price, but we only have one request, that is, every vegetable in the aunt's field needs to be picked fresh every day, and it needs to be sent every day, and this money is paid in one lump sum by our inn every month." ”
Zhang was speechless at this moment.
She thought that this Su lady was an ignorant person, but she didn't expect to be so shrewd.
Who doesn't know that this kind of dish in the field has no difference in color, but if you want to cook, of course, it is the freshest fresh! But picking and delivering every day, there are a few farmers and businessmen who can do this kind of work, which is too much effort.
She looked embarrassed and hesitated: "Mrs. Su is really joking, I haven't collected vegetables like this in the past few years." ”
Liu Xing'er was happy: "This vegetarian dish is charged according to two cents, I just counted the vegetables in Aunt Zhang's field, there are sixteen kinds, each dish is at least two catties, that is, sixty-four wen, thirty days a month, that is, one thousand nine hundred two wen, almost two taels of silver, there are twelve months in a year, that year is twenty-three taels and forty yuan, twenty-three taels for ordinary people to get married, and it is more than enough to have children, and you can live for about five years...... Medium-sized families can live for a year or two......"
Zhang's eyes widened.
She just thought about the hardships, why did she never calculate this account?
Her excited words trembled: "What can I do...... I can do it. ”
Liu Xinger remembered her embarrassed appearance, and wanted to tease her.
"My aunt is old, if she thinks this job is thankless, let's find that young man to do it."
Zhang hurriedly said: "Your Aunt Zhang's health is good, Su Niangzi, don't worry, I promise to pick the freshest vegetables in the field for you every morning, and it will definitely not delay your business." ”
As he spoke, he twisted a few cabbages in the ground with his buttocks, and pulled a few handfuls of carrots, which he was about to send to their cart.
Liu Xing'er smiled happily: "With the words of the aunt, this work is in the hands of the aunt, I can rest assured." ”
Brother Su Zhengdi also held back a smile all the way, wanting to give Zhang's a little help, but Zhang's waved his hand again and again: "Brother Su'er's hand is to write accounts and collect money, how can you do these jobs." ”
Brother Su Zhengdi was a little helpless, and besides, Liu Xing'er hadn't been in the field for too long, walking crookedly on the edge of the field, he was leading her in front of her to explore the way carefully, and the little couple held hands and made love.
Aunt Zhang looked at this scene and smacked her tongue secretly.
This Su Niangzi is delicate, but she can do things, that is called a neat and clean, and I don't know where the gossip came from before, these two people are not ordinary, and then look at this Su Niangzi, this is not a master to mess with, fortunately, she is smooth enough, and she didn't offend her, otherwise how can she have today's wealth.
Zhang's tried his best to pile vegetables on the cart and wanted to envelop her, this was her God of Wealth.
Seeing the situation, Liu Xing'er hurriedly stopped her.
"Aunt Zhang, you can pretend to be almost the same as a day's serving, the pile is too full, not only is it a waste of this excellent fresh food, but we have to go a long way to wait, but we can't sit down."
Zhang asked, "What does Mrs. Su mean by this?" ”
Liu Xing'er smiled modestly: "My aunt is an expert in the vegetable field, and I will have to bother my aunt to run another set with us later, and introduce us to the owner of the meat stall." ”
Zhang couldn't ask for it, patted the dirt on his body, and smiled: "That's good!" I happen to have a cousin who is a butcher, he has all kinds of meat except dragon meat, keep it fresh, and I'll talk to him later, ask him to give you the most suitable price, and send two catties to you back to try it. ”
Liu Xing'er smiled wryly: "Then let's go." ”
Saying this, I didn't forget to tear off the notice posted at the entrance of the town.
She was relieved: "From now on, there will be no free lunch at the Fulai Inn, and there will be no second time for Mei Niangzi to break the bowl." ”
Brother Su just looked at her and smiled a little proudly.
He has already seen the wit of his lady, and he has long been surprised.
Because Zhang wanted to lead the way, she was in a good mood, Liu Xinger persuaded her to take a board car a few times, but she was unwilling, so she had to follow Su Zhengdi in front.
It didn't take long for Zhang to take the couple back to the town, and at a market in the south of the town, Zhang squeezed in and pulled out a man.
The man was far away, shirtless, wearing pig-killing clothes, bloody all over, Zhang was talking in his ear with his feet, he wiped the sweat on his forehead with the handkerchief around his neck, and looked at Liu Xing'er from time to time.
Without a few minutes of delay, Zhang led him over with a hippie smile.
"Su Niangzi, this is my cousin, Ershan, I have already told him, he will pick fresh meat for you every day, you can negotiate the price yourself."
Liu Xing'er didn't smile: "Aunt Zhang, this is not priceless, meat dishes and vegetarian dishes are two meanings, and they can't be confused." ”
Zhang originally thought that although this Su lady had a background, she was a cheerful person in business and should be fiddled with, thinking that she would not realize that she was dominant, and she was most afraid of offending Liu Xing'er in her heart, so she immediately started haha: "I am a woman who farms the land, how do I know about business, you talk about it yourself." ”
Ershan, like the Zhang family, has heard of this Su Niangzi's reputation in the town in the past, although the Zhang family has carefully reminded Ershan that this Su Niangzi is actually a master who cannot be messed with.
He didn't feel it for himself, and he was still a little skeptical.
He carefully looked at Liu Xing'er, and it was really rumored that she was beautiful, so he couldn't help but take a few more looks, and his eyes were straight.
Zhang coughed a few times, and Ershan noticed that Liu Xing'er had a pair of cold eyes staring straight at him behind him.
Dare to love that the man in this family came with him today.
Only then did he close his eyes, feeling a little shameless, and he was empty when he spoke.
"I heard that Su Xianggong and the lady of the Su family want to collect some meat ingredients, I don't know what kind of collection method is?"
Liu Xinger knows the doorway very well, she first came into contact with hotel management, and she had a lot of follow-ups in the hands of those small vegetable vendors, which brought too much trouble to her follow-up work, so that she would not let the same mistake happen to her a second time.
She said solemnly: "The difference between this meat dish and vegetarian dish is big, this meat dish is not bothered that the Ershan brothers are sent to the door every day, and when they want to slaughter cattle and sheep or something, just send an errand brother to our store to inform them, and there will be a cook in our store to come and wait, pick some of our own wants, the market is charged according to 20 yuan, I will calculate 25 yuan for you." ”
Ershan and Zhang were dumbfounded.
This little girl is a goblin, and she really can't take advantage of her.
Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, Liu Xing'er asked again: "If Brother Ershan feels embarrassed, then let's go elsewhere to have a look." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, he heard the butchers in the market shouting.
"Thirty wen, thirty wen...... Twenty wen to receive...... Twenty texts. ”
Ershan frowned, peeked around, and gritted his teeth.
"It's up to you."
Liu Xing'er smiled: "Then I'll thank Brother Ershan here." ”
Ershan is a vulgar man after all, this Liu Xing'er is so beautiful again, she can make him itch his heart even if she smiles casually.
If it weren't for the man in her family today, if he changed his usual life, he would definitely have teased a few words.
He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her, but said: "My sister and I have said hello, I chop three catties of pork for your store to take back to taste, and my business will need to be taken care of by my lady in the future." ”
In normal times, Ershan would feel distressed for a long time even if he gave an extra pound of meat, but today he met Liu Xing'er, a little beauty, even if he cut off three catties of meat, the action was quite quick.
He thought as he chopped the meat.
If he had such a smart lady, he would like to guard it every day.
Liu Xing'er held the meat in her hand, and thanked Zhang's and Ershan again and again.
She didn't just want to be cheap, and politely wanted to use a mule to send Zhang's out of town, Zhang's family has been farming outside all the year round, and she didn't take this path to heart at all.
She is an interesting person, and she knows that she will need to rely on these two people more in the future, and she can't let people run up and down for her own convenience, so she politely refused.
Liu Xing'er saw that she was resolute, and she didn't say anything.
The couple was full of harvest and walked in the direction of the inn.
Ershan watched the two of them go farther and farther, rubbed the handkerchief in his hand, and said to Zhang: "Cousin, this Su lady is really not as unbearable as rumored, this woman's mind is not simple, let's do business with her in the future, we need to be more polite." ”
Zhang raised his sleeves and wiped his sweat: "This is not it." ”
On the way, Su Zhengdi asked Liu Xing'er: "I only found out today that you can still settle accounts, and this settlement is not something that everyone can do......"
Liu Xing'er was a little weak-hearted, so she interrupted him.
"On weekdays, when you settle accounts, I think about whether I can help you in the future, so I learn a little bit by heart, but in fact, I don't really understand it, but I just fool people casually."
