Chapter 51 Key Customers
"I heard your fried chicken here is good, bring me half one." The old man looked down at the stall and half of the fried golden chicken, and said with a smile.
Qin Xiang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this, explaining that this person was not here to make trouble, but really came to buy things, and it seemed that he was a housekeeper or something like a rich family.
"You buy a lot, I'll give you a little fried potatoes, my fried things are delicious with dipping sauce."
Qin Xiang felt that this was a big customer, so he hurriedly stood up and helped wrap half of the fried chicken and potatoes and handed them to the old man, and after the old man handed over the money, he turned around and left.
Qin Xiang didn't care, so he continued to sell fried sweet potatoes, and after that, the old man would come to buy fried chicken every three or four days, and he really became a regular customer of Qin Xiang's family.
"I've bought something so many times, I don't know what you call it."
After Qin Xiang wrapped the fried chicken for the old man, he asked with a smile.
"You can call me Steward Jiang, we have also bought other people's braised chicken before, but it is not as crispy and tender as yours, so even if the road is farther, I still come to your house to buy it."
Steward Jiang had a big belly, and his smile was very gentle, and he asked a little curiously: "With your skills, why don't you open a shop in the county?" That's a lot more profitable than setting up a stall. ”
"I thought to, but I never got the money together, so I had to set up a stall."
Qin Xiang smiled bitterly, although she had made some money these days, plus Han Yunxiao had given her a lot before, but she had spent a lot on taking care of Zhuangzi before, buying chickens, buying pig fat, and buying servants.
So now there is not much left, and when she has saved enough money, she plans to rebuild the family house first, and then consider opening a shop.
After hearing this, Steward Jiang sighed with a little regret and left with half a fried chicken.
"Mother, who is that old man?"
At this time, he saw two small groups running over hand in hand, Han Tongtong saw Qin Xiang and Steward Jiang talking for a while, and asked curiously.
"That is Steward Jiang, who often goes to my mother's stall to buy fried chicken." Qin Xiang looked at them in surprise, they would not have gone to school at this time in the past.
"Why are you out of school so early today?" She pulled Han Tongtong in front of her, handed Han Ziyan a piece of fried sweet potato, and asked carefully.
"It's a holiday from today, and we're just going to help the master clean the church house in the morning, and we'll be back naturally after cleaning."
Han Tongtong patronized and ate fried sweet potatoes, squinting his eyes and not saying a word, but Han Ziyan replied.
Qin Xiang couldn't help but be stunned, and when she reacted, she suddenly remembered that she had been traveling over for a few months, and the New Year would be in two months.
The two small groups are still young, so naturally they won't have too much homework, so they have an early holiday.
"Actually, it was also because the husband who taught us had to rush to the school to take the government exam, so he gave us a holiday in advance."
Han Ziyan saw Qin Xiang's face tense, not knowing what he was thinking, and thought that she was unhappy, so he hurriedly added.
Qin Xiang nodded, and finally remembered that teaching Han Ziyan and their husbands were two showmen.
Xiucai is naturally famous in the government school, and he has to go to the government school every year to participate in the government examination, and only after passing the government examination can he be qualified to take the examination.
"It's almost sold today, let's go home."
Qin Xiang saw that there was nothing left to buy, so he packed up his things and walked in the direction of home with the two small balls.
As soon as the three of them walked to the entrance of the village, they saw Han Yunxiao hurrying over, and they were relieved to see that the three of them were safe.
"What's wrong?"
Han Yunxiao was rarely so flustered, but it made Qin Xiang a little worried, I don't know what was wrong with him.
"Qin Dong was released, he didn't bother you."
Han Yunxiao's brows were twisted into pimples, he originally wanted to dredge up the relationship and let that kid stay in it for a while longer.
But then I forgot about too many things, and it dragged on until the day when he was released after his sentence expired.
"I haven't met it. You can rest assured, he shouldn't bother to seek revenge on me at this time. ”
Qin Xiang shook his head, he didn't feel surprised, Qin Dong would be released sooner or later.
And with Qin Xiang's understanding of him, Qin Dong has been locked up for so long, and when he is finally released, he must want to have fun and enjoy himself.
He should still ask Mrs. Qin for money at this time, and when the money that will arrive is squandered, he will not think of trouble with Qin Xiang.
After saying the thoughts in his heart, Han Yunxiao's brows were not stretched, but tightened.
Only then did Qin Xiang realize that he was not looking at himself, but looking behind him, with disgust in his eyes.
When she turned her head to look, she saw Qin Dong swaying with a wine bottle, chatting with a few famous gangsters in the village, and she was really right by Qin Xiang.
Qin Dong was actually not very drunk, and his alcohol consumption was always good, so when he saw Qin Xiang, his eyes were on fire.
He wanted to beat this little girl, who let her rob her Zhuangzi didn't count, and threw herself into prison.
But when she saw Han Yunxiao standing next to her, she had to pretend to be drunk and get through in a daze.
He didn't want to go toe-to-toe with Han Yunxiao, for fear of being beaten away by the other party.
Seeing Qin Dong and a few gangsters, he ignored her and left with his shoulders hooked, Qin Xiang couldn't help but pout.
"Let's go home, we should also count the money in our hands, and when spring begins, we will rebuild the house."
Qin Xiang patted Han Yunxiao's shoulder, and when he saw him turn his head to look at himself, he said with a smile.
"You don't have to be afraid, if he dares to find fault, I will break his leg."
Han Yunxiao's expression was very serious, but his ears were a little red, obviously a little shy.
"When have I ever been afraid of him, if he really dares to come to find fault, it is a big deal that I will send him to the county jail for a few more days. If you can send him in once, you can send him in again. ”
Qin Xiang's heart warmed, and he took the initiative to walk over and take Han Yunxiao's hand, and said with a smile.
Han Yunxiao suddenly felt as if he had been electrocuted, but he didn't let go, but instead held Qin Xiang's hand tightly, and a trace of joy surged in his heart.
Qin Xiang's hands were smooth and delicate, but there were some thin calluses on the belly of his fingers, which made him can't help but rub them a few times.
However, he quickly reacted, hurriedly looked towards Qin Xiang, and found that Qin Xiang was talking and laughing with the two little groups, so he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling how he had lost his temper just now.
After the four of them returned home, Han Yunxiao took out the remaining taels of silver in his hand, a total of thirty taels.
Qin Xiang also took out the silver he had saved from selling chickens and fried chicken, totaling more than sixty taels.
Seeing this, Han Yunxiao's old face turned red and pursed his lips, feeling for the first time that he shouldn't send too many things to Han Yunfeng.
If he hadn't sent so many things, the silver in his hand would be at least the same as the one in Qin Xiang's hand.
"My mother is so powerful, she earns more than her father!"
Han Tongtong didn't see anything wrong with the emotions of the two, stretched out his little hand and grabbed the corner of Qin Xiang's clothes, and said with little stars in his eyes.
After hearing this, Han Yunxiao's face darkened, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he reached out to put Qin Xiang's silver into the money bag.
"Use your own money, and I will save up all the money to build a house." Han Yunxiao stuffed the money bag into Qin Xiang's hand, and continued: "Before the spring of next year." ”
Qin Xiang actually knew that the little silver in their hands was barely enough to turn the house into what it was now.
But she wants to build two more houses, after all, Han Ziyan and Han Tongtong will have their own rooms when they grow up.
There is also a study, so the silver is not enough.
She took out the silver at this time, just to stimulate Han Yunxiao, so that he would not be as big-hearted as before, and felt that it was not a big deal to give something to his father and brother.
Looking at Han Yunxiao's reaction, the effect is not bad, he should have already started thinking.
"In that case, then it's all up to you."
Qin Xiang didn't argue with him, got up and went to the kitchen to cook.
Today, the stall closed early, and after lunch, she took the fabric and cotton to Lin Qingmiao's house to make the unfinished cotton clothes with her.
When she arrived at Lin Qingmiao's house, she saw that Mrs. Lin and her two daughters were all crowded in the courtyard of Lin Qingmiao's house.
You don't have to think about it to know that these three people must be here to make trouble again.
I don't know why they are so convinced that Lin Qingmiao will give Zhuangzi to them.
"Seeing that there are still two months to go before the New Year, our family is almost unable to open the pot, you are so ruthless, you are reluctant to give us even a little rice, you little hooves!"
Mrs. Lin was pointing at Lin Qingmiao's nose and scolding, one voice higher than the other, and Qin Xiang, who listened to it, couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
"I won't give you a grain of rice, get out!"
Lin Qingmiao's face was tight, her eyes were a little impatient, she still sat upright, not even looking at them.
Qin Xiang often comes over, and he often encounters this situation, so he naturally doesn't bother to pay attention to it.
Anyway, no matter how much this Lin Pozi sprinkled, she only scolded a few words, and she didn't dare to really reach out to hit Lin Qingmiao.
Because Lin Qingmiao has an extremely protective brother, her brother is still a butcher, runs a butcher shop in the county, is tough and very rich, naturally not Mrs. Lin can afford to provoke.
Mrs. Lin could only scold Lin Qingmiao a few words, and when she scolded enough, she would naturally leave, not to mention Lin Qingmiao after a long time, even Qin Xiang was not surprised.
After Mrs. Lin left, the two entered the house, and Lin Qingmiao finally had a smile on her face.
"Your needlework skills are really a little worse, but fortunately, you learn quickly." Lin Qingmiao looked at Qin Xiang's acupuncture and couldn't help but smile and said.
Qin Xiang smiled awkwardly, she hadn't used needlework at all in modern times, and these needlework skills were only learned from scratch in ancient times.
Therefore, she naturally can't compare to Lin Qingmiao, but she can't say these things.
What's more, the original owner also knows some needlework work, and if she doesn't want to be exposed, she can only learn hard.
"Aren't I trying to learn, don't make fun of me."
Qin Xiang laughed dryly, and according to Lin Qingmiao's instructions, he quickly sewed the position of the cuffs.
"It's not that difficult, you're smart, and you've learned almost." Lin Qingmiao saw that Qin Xiang blushed a little, so she put away her smile and comforted gently.
"Do you have something on your mind?" Qin Xianghu stared at Lin Qingmiao suspiciously, always feeling that she seemed to be absent-minded.
