Chapter 588: Wisdom vs. Gentleness
Tian Yuan said: "I do dried fruit trading!" β
Qi Ming said: "Oh, what is the matter with this steamed bun meat bun pastry and candy?" β
Tian Yuan said helplessly: "Young master, you don't know that the world is difficult, is this business so easy to do?" The shops in the city are either time-honored or have the power to be the backers, or they are the capital of the rich businessmen; The shop I opened only last autumn has no backing and no capital, how can I compare to them! β
The little girl talked about the business in a set, which did not match her age; The voice is sweet and crisp, pleasant to listen to, and very pleasing.
Qi Mingyue felt abnormal, and sneered: "Then you will sell steamed buns instead?" β
Tian Yuan waved his hand and explained: "It's like this: I do dried fruit trading, there is a North and South dry goods store in the city, it is a time-honored brand, I am not as good as others can operate, so I have to pour the cheap price of dried fruits to Baiwei Fang, which makes pastries." - This was opened by the son of the father-in-law of the mother-in-law of the governor's wife's maiden nephew. If you don't believe me, I often sell dried fruits to their families. I didn't make much money, so I thought of another way to make up for it: I bought some pastries from his house and shipped them to Qinghe Town, ten miles outside the city, to sell them......"
Qi Ming's brain was dizzy for a while, and it took him a long time to figure out this relative's account, which happened to be one he recognized, and it was indeed a distant relative of his family.
Go back and inquire about the sale.
For now, let's find out about the steamed buns.
He asked, "What about the steamed buns?" β
Tian Yuan pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "I run back and forth so often, and the neighbors know about it, and they often ask me to help them bring some goods from the city." - This is not something that happens every day. For example, today's steamed buns and meat buns were bought for him by someone whose family had a 70th birthday, wanted to be decent and fresh, and specially asked me to buy them from the pastry king in the city. ββHis family is a century-old brand, the steamed buns are big and succinct, and the meat buns are juicy and meaty. β
Ming: "......"
Although Tian Yuan was articulate and spoke the truth, not at all like improvised words, he just felt that something was wrong.
was thinking carefully about pulling her tail, Tian Fang couldn't help it, and asked, "Do you live in Qinghe Town, don't you live in the city?" β
Tian Yuan hurriedly raised his face and smiled at him: "The rent in the city is expensive, my mother and I rented out the house, collected the rent, and we moved to Qinghe Town to rent another yard to live, we can make a lot of difference, and open an extra shop." β
Tian Fang: "......"
Really hit his general's father in the face!
His heart was even more congested.
He looked at Qi Ming with unkind eyes, and he had the posture of "never letting go of the master and breaking off your friendship with you".
Qi Ming couldn't think of an excuse to make things difficult for the countryside again, so he had a flash of inspiration and said with a smile: "It's all a misunderstanding!" Sister Tian, I'm really sorry-" He bowed down and apologized, looking sincere; Then he took a big package and ordered someone to buy all the dried fruits, pastries, and sweets on the pastoral car, saying that it was a birthday gift for his future father-in-law. As for his future father-in-law's birthday, it doesn't matter, it's early!
Tian Fang's face looked good.
But Tian Yuan's heart was uncomfortable.
She spent a lot of effort to raise the food, the money was still a trivial matter, mainly to hide people's eyes and ears did a lot of work, this "young master dog" bought it all, what did she give to the frontier soldiers to eat? But she had no reason not to sell, and in order to make amends, they paid twice the price.
scolded bitterly in his heart, and his face was overjoyed.
The little girl took the silver ticket and thanked her sweetly; Xie Ba looked at him expectantly, saying that there were still some good goods in her shop, and asked him if he wanted more, as if he had caught the big buyer, but in fact, he had already thought of a plan in his heart, not only to get back the food he bought, but also to detain these people.
Qi Ming was about to touch her bottom and nodded hurriedly.
Tian Fang couldn't stop it, the two of them had already agreed, and they couldn't help but be very angry. He knows his temperament, and he doesn't seem to be giving up, and he won't give up until he gets his little sister. Something inferior to a beast!
He made up his mind to go home at night and tell his father about it, and let his father take the garden home, so that Qi Ming would not dare to spoil it again.
Tian Yuan instructed the coachmen: send the pastries and candies to the place designated by Qi Ming, and transport the steamed buns and meat buns back to Qinghe Town, and the people are still waiting to use them for longevity; sent a few big carts away, and then led a group of gentlemen back.
Halfway through, Tian Yuan and the little girl in green were alone, opening the curtain of the car and staring outside. Tian Yuan found that there was one less retinue of Qi Ming, and knew that this person was wary of her. That's right, since you've been eyeing her, you must have gotten the exact news, and it seems that you won't let her go today.
She lowered the curtain and cupped her cheeks in contemplation.
The little girl in green turned her face and whispered, "Sister, what should we do?" β
Tian Yuan raised his eyes and asked, "Are you afraid?" β
The little girl in green hurriedly straightened her chest and said, "I'm not afraid, I'm just a little nervous." β
Tian Yuan put on a sophisticated and calm posture and said, "Don't be afraid, Lu'er, you will look at my eyes later." Didn't the girl send us to train us? Now it's time to show what you're capable of. We're going to be female generals in the future, and we can't even clean up a few squirts, so it's not in vain for the girl to teach! β
The little girl in green nodded vigorously "Hmm".
When he was young, the carriage stopped in front of a shop.
Looking back and forth, this street is behind the governor's yamen; Look up again, hang the plaque of "fragrant dried fruit line", a very ordinary dried fruit shop, and the shopkeeper lady next door still greets the countryside.
"Miss Tian, why are you back again?"
"I'll bring a few guests to see the goods."
"Oooh. Here comes the guests. β
Tian Yuan said, leading everyone into the shop.
As soon as Qi Ming entered, he looked around, and walked around the shop, look here, look there, Xiong Fei is the same.
The countryside is beside you, and all questions must be answered.
Tian Fang saw that she was bent on currying favor with Qi Ming and wanted to make this deal, and she was in a very bad mood: for a while, she felt that her father was too irresponsible, which caused her to suffer at a young age; For a while, I felt that she shouldn't have brought Ji Ming, and she lost her father's face.
The other gentlemen were not interested in the shop, but they were very interested in the countryside himself, so they accompanied him to wander around and be a sound worm.
Qi Ming looked around and felt that there were very few goods, not much like the scale of raising grain and grass for the border soldiers, so he asked Tianyuan: "That's all?" β
Tian Yuan hurriedly said: "This is put on display, we still have stock." β
Qi Ming hurriedly asked, "Where is the inventory?" β
Tian Tian said: "There is a cellar yet." β
Saying that, lead everyone to the backyard.
Qi Ming and Xiong Fei glanced at each other and hurriedly followed; Tian Fang and the others had no choice but to follow in and came to the cellar in the backyard together.
Tian Tian invited them to go down and see.
Qi Ming looked at the cellar mouth of the black hole, frowned, and said, "Climb up and down, the master won't go." Youβ" He gestured to his attendant and told him to go down and look.
Seeing that he was so vigilant, Tian Yuan secretly scolded "cunning", but as if he was nothing, he ordered the little girl in green to take the entourage down to see, and she accompanied the guests on it, and beckoned everyone to go to the upper room to eat tea and rest.
As soon as he sat down, he made tea, and the entourage and the little girl in green had already come up, and the entourage came to Qi Ming's side and replied, "Young master, there is a lot of food." β
