Chapter Ninety-Six: Negotiations

Zhong Dashan hid the money bag and went directly to meet Zhong Qiang.

He didn't see the bamboo basket, but he wasn't curious, his aunt would always come out with some strange things, so he only thought that Zhong Dashan came to the county seat to sell things, and after delivering the things to Shiweixuan, he drove the donkey cart to the city gate and waited.

But this time he was blocked by someone, Zhong Qiang's heart tightened, his heart beat faster, I don't know what this person is going to do? "The ......"

"You're the one who sells fish and vegetables to Shi Weixuan?" The people who came knew what their master was going to do, but they didn't say anything disrespectful, but the tone was not much better.

"No...... No. Although he is not as smart as his brothers, he can also sense whether someone is benevolent or malicious, and with the tone of his voice, he is not stupid, and he can know what his purpose is.

Because he took on the job of delivering food, he came and went very well, and the guys in the restaurant were familiar with each other, and he had already learned from their mouths more than once that the things of his uncle's house were easy to sell, whether it was fish or vegetables, as long as the guests came to the door, they must be ordered.

He also often eats and drinks at his cousin's house, and he doesn't eat less fish, the same fish in the river, but it's not as delicious as his cousin's house, and the same goes for vegetables, and over time he gets used to it.

Shiweixuan's own business is better than other restaurants, and now there are fish and vegetables that are even more powerful, after this period of time, let other restaurant businesses slip away a part, those shopkeepers can't sit still, and none of them don't want to make money.

With such a good dish, you can't enjoy it exclusively, and you have to give others some space to survive.

"And who's your owner? Can you give me a referral? Seeing Zhong Qiang's frightened look, the owner eased his tone, the owner is still waiting, and the owner behind this person still needs his help.

Zhong Qiang was embarrassed for a while and didn't know how to reply, he didn't want to do something wrong, and he would lose even the job of delivering food when the time came.

He paid 20 wen a day, this salary his father and mother didn't know, his cousin told his brother and mother at the beginning that it was ten wen a day, and then he went to know that it was 20 wen, and the other ten wen aunt saved it for him.

Knowing his aunt's intentions, he was really grateful, after doing these days, he had saved up almost a tael, one or two, but a lot of money.

"Don't be stupid." When the visitor saw that he looked distracted, he could only reach out and poke him to sober him up.

"I don't know." ~ Zhong Qiang could only answer him like this.

"What's so difficult about this, isn't it just to take me to meet your owner." As he spoke, he took out a few copper plates and stuffed them to Zhong Qiang.

Zhong Qiang was frightened by his actions, and refused again and again, the two of them came and went for a while, and finally the honest Zhong Qiang was finally defeated by the comer, and passively took him to the city gate to find Zhong Dashan.

When Zhong Qiang came to the city gate with the stranger, Zhong Dashan was already waiting there, and when he saw the stranger next to Zhong Qiang, his brows frowned slightly, he didn't think that his nephew would know such a person, he knew by looking at his clothes that he was doing things for a rich and noble family, and his eyes were shrewd.

Zhong Qiang saw Zhong Dashan as if he had seen a savior, and after stopping the donkey cart steadily, he quickly jumped out of the car and came to Zhong Dashan, "Uncle, he has to see you, I don't want him to give me money, I really have no choice but to bring him to you, this money is troublesome Uncle will return it to him." ”

He won't take the money he doesn't deserve, he will only think it's a hot potato, the kind that whoever gets it is unlucky.

Zhong Dashan listened to Zhong Qiang's words, patted him on the shoulder, and pushed back the copper coin that Zhong Qiang stuffed over, "Since someone gave it to you, take it." ”

"Uncle ......" Zhong Qiang was anxious, thinking that he had done something wrong.

"It's okay, you wait for me here." Zhong Qiang comforted Zhong Qiangdao.

“…… Good. At this time, Zhong Qiang also knew that it was not the time to say this, so he obediently stepped aside and waited.

"I don't know what to call it?" Zhong Qiang's words were not light, and the people who came heard them very clearly, so he didn't step forward for the first time, and when he saw the man taking the initiative to come, he stepped forward and spoke first.

"My surname is Zhong, I don't know what you are looking for me?" Zhong Dashan actually had a guess in his heart.

I was afraid that the good business of Shiweixuan would finally make the other people unable to sit still, so Zhong Qiang was stopped, and he could only find out from Zhong Qiang.

"My master wants to see you, I wonder if you are free today?"

"See me, why?" Zhong Dashan simply asked knowingly.

"You'll know when you see my master." Although he knew, it was not suitable for the public in this court.

Zhong Dashan didn't want to offend people, he was a peasant man now, but he didn't have the ability to offend powerful people, after thinking about it for a while, he decided to meet him, so he could make it clear in person, "I just have time, please lead the way." ”

"Hadron, you wait for me here." Zhong Dashan didn't plan to take Zhong Qiang with him, so as not to be frightened.

"Yes, uncle." He still has lingering palpitations about what happened just now, and he doesn't want to get involved at this time, his cousin won't let him go, so he has to go.

Zhong Dashan followed the comer, and soon came to the private room of a restaurant not far from Shiweixuan in the county seat.

There was a middle-aged man with a round face sitting in the private room, although he was smiling, but his eyes were shrewd, and when he saw that the person he sent out brought someone back, he knew that this person was the proprietor who provided the fish and vegetables, and immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Master, this minister's surname is Zhong." The little guy enthusiastically introduced Zhong Dashan to his master, and then introduced his master to Zhong Dashan, "Zhong Xianggong, my lord's surname is Wang, and this restaurant is Wang's." ”

"Hello Master Wang." Zhong Dashan bowed to Master Wang.

"Zhong Xianggong, you're welcome, come on, sit here, sit here." The middle-aged man led Zhong Dashan to sit down.

"I don't know what Master Wang is looking for?" Zhong Dashan went straight to the point.

"Don't hide it from Zhong Xianggong, I want to talk to you about cooperation, you see if your vegetables or fish can be supplied to me, you can rest assured of the price, you will definitely not suffer a loss." If the business of the restaurant continues like this, it will be a problem for him to continue to operate, and he must not be allowed to make ends meet and make a loss-making business.

"Master Wang, I'm really sorry, I signed an agreement with Shiweixuan not to sell the second one. However, vegetables can be supplied, but it is estimated that they will not be able to do so this year, and they will have to wait until next year. "You can do the vegetable business with them, but there is no way to do it.

As soon as Mr. Wang heard the opening words, he was stunned, people have signed a contract, and they can't make people treacherous, and then there are people behind Shiweixuan who are from the capital, and he is a rich man in Longxian County who can't fight him, just when he thought there was no way, he didn't expect that when there was a peak and a loop, he could supply them vegetables, and it was good to have vegetables, but he had tasted the vegetables of Shiweixuan, and the vegetables in their restaurant were also different, obviously the same dish, the same practice, the taste that can be made is very different, and there is no harm if there is no comparison.

"Can it really be supplied next year?" Master Wang asked anxiously.

"As soon as this winter." Zhong Dashan thought for a moment and said.

According to the agreement with Mr. Qian, after the autumn harvest of rice, he can distribute the land at will, and 90 acres of fertile land do not need to be planted with rice, take 10 acres of land to grow vegetables, but he still has to ask his daughter-in-law about this, if his daughter-in-law does not object, he will do so.

In winter, it is not far away, only a few months, he can still afford to wait for this time, he didn't expect the restaurant's business to compare with Shiweixuan, but it can't be too bad. "Okay, okay, then it's settled."

"This is nature, when the vegetables are out, how can I contact you?"

"You can just come to the shopkeeper, and I'll say hello to him." I have to talk to the shopkeeper about this, maybe he was not there when he came, this is a matter of life and death in the restaurant, and there can be no sloppiness.

"Okay, then I'll go directly to the shopkeeper when the time comes."

"Zhong Xianggong is refreshing." The big stone in his heart finally pressed down a few points, and when he had his vegetables and the restaurant improved, he could really put his mind at ease.

After the negotiation, Zhong Dashan didn't stay long, and after saying goodbye to Master Wang, he ran all the way to the city gate, he was worried that Zhong Qiang would be in a hurry.

Not to mention, as soon as Zhong Dashan left, Zhong Qiang became distracted, his eyes turned to the direction he left from time to time, and his face was worried.

In this anxious mood, Zhong Qiang waited, waited, waited, and soon saw a familiar figure running, seeing Zhong Dashan running fast, Zhong Qiang felt that something might have happened, and ran up anxiously, "Uncle, what's wrong?" ”

"Something? No? Went home. Zhong Dashan smiled and patted Zhong Qiang on the shoulder, beckoned him, sat on the donkey cart, and prepared to go back.

“…… Uncle, are you really okay? Zhong Qiang was stunned for a while, then climbed into the donkey cart and sat beside Zhong Dashan, tilting his head and frowning.

"It's fine, I'm not worried about you. Feel relieved. Zhong Dashan said as he drove the donkey cart in the direction of Zhongjia Village.

"Xiaohua, have you come back to see it?" Jin Mo held a bowl of mung bean soup and drank it, and looked at it, and saw that it was already noon, so he sent Xiaohua to the door to take a look.

According to the previous time, I was scheduled to come back before noon, but this time it was half an hour late, and there must be a demon when something goes wrong.

"Yes, ma'am." Zhang Xiaohua put down the work in her hand, ran to the door on her feet, and came back after a while.

"Madam, I still haven't seen anyone." Report the results you see to Jin Mo.

"I'll go to the entrance of the village and have a look." It's easy to get cranky when staying in the house, so Jin Mo decided to go to the entrance of the village to have a look.

"Madam, the sun is poisonous at this time, you are still at home, I will go to the village entrance to see." If Childe comes back and sees Mrs. running to the entrance of the village, he will definitely feel distressed, Childe said, Mrs. is afraid of heat, don't let Mrs. worry about it.

"Forget it, don't go either." The sun outside is poisonous, how can she bear to let a child bask in the sun, she can't do such an inhuman thing. I could only suppress the uneasiness in my heart and continue to sit in the room and wait.
