Chapter 8 The Cabbage Storm

"I'm a member of the town's family, our old lady is going to celebrate his seventieth birthday, and the old man is going to set up a hundred tables of banquets in the house. Seeing that your cabbage is in good condition, these on your stall will be sent to our house for the cook to see, and if the chef says it's okay, he will wait for five days and send another fifty! Don't worry, the money will definitely be yours! ”

The aunt is the purchasing cook in the Fangyuanwai Mansion and the wife of the housekeeper in the house, and she is also a very prestigious figure in the Yuanwai Mansion. Originally, I watched a lot of people come here, but it turned out that these people were all watching the excitement. But she doesn't care about those messy things, whether it's missing arms and legs or what, people are people, as long as things are good, nothing else matters.

"No problem, auntie, don't worry, if you buy my cabbage, you will definitely be able to add another point to the old lady's birthday banquet!" Chu Junxi has no other skills, but his lip work is the best, and when he was a soothsayer in his last life, he also had to coax customers to be happy, otherwise a bad review would smash his signboard.

"The little girl has a sweet mouth! Alright, you two pack these dishes and come with me! ”

Although it is not a long-term business, it can make a lot of money at one time to receive such a big order! The two happily put the cabbage on their backs and followed the aunt to Fangfu.

The cabbage of the Chu family is naturally good, and the chef is very satisfied with it, and he only said that it must be of such quality after five days. Chu Junxi and Qi Ran brought a total of twelve cabbages, and according to their price, they should have charged thirty-three yuan, but the aunt who brought them here gave them fifty yuan.

"Auntie, is it too much?" Chu Junxi couldn't believe it, big families were so generous, did they tip so much to buy cabbage?

"If it's a deposit, you just need to remember to send another fifty in five days, and I'll give you a reward at that time." Seeing the two of them looking at each other, the aunt couldn't help but be amused, "This country kid just hasn't seen anything in the world, our old lady wants to celebrate his birthday, and he can't pick and search!" If this birthday banquet is successful, there will be a chance to take care of your business in the future! ”

When Chu Junxi heard that there would not only be a reward, but also a long-term business, he was immediately overjoyed. "Thank you, Auntie, we will definitely send it on time!"

With money, Chu Junxi didn't dare to spend it indiscriminately, in addition to buying five yuan of sugar for the two small ones in the family, he also divided ten yuan for Qi Ran. Originally, Qi Ran didn't want to accept it, but he also said that he would use the vegetables to settle the account at the beginning, so why did he give money again?

"Ahh Although we said that we would take the food to pay for it, but we also said that there was no money for you, we took advantage of the joy of the old lady of the Fang family this time, this money must be indispensable, this is a lot of money, you can take it with peace of mind! Besides, Aunt Qi is not in good health, can't you just take the money to buy her something delicious? ”

At Chu Junxi's insistence, Qi Ran still accepted the money. When he went back in the evening, looking at the copper coins, he was a little distracted. Qi's mother originally wanted to call her son, but when she entered the house and saw her son touching the copper coin in a daze, she smiled and went out again.

In the next few days, Chu Junxi was not idle, and when the pickle jar was bought, he was about to start pickling cabbage. Chu Junxi took Qi Dye a day off and concentrated on helping the cheap mother pickle vegetables. I don't know why, she always felt that when she said that when she gave Qi Ran a day off, he didn't seem to be very happy.

The first batch of pickles has been made, with five jars of pickles, sauerkraut, and spicy cabbage, and how it tastes after half a month!

In the next few days, Chu Junxi and Qi Ran did not go to the stall again, but ran into the restaurant every day. Talk about the next house one day, and try to sell your own tender and fresh Chinese cabbage! Because the Chinese cabbage of the Chu family is indeed of good quality, and the price is also fair, many restaurants are willing to ask for it.

And Qi Ran will also negotiate with the restaurant, sign a one-month contract, deliver food to the restaurant every day, and settle it on the same day. The daily amount is ordered, and if the Chu family does not deliver the goods, or the restaurant refuses to accept it for no reason, they will have to pay compensation.

After three days of hard work, Chu Junxi relied on his own mouth to talk about three restaurants, two of which sent eleven pieces a day, and one sent sixteen pieces a day, and he could sell thirty percent of the cabbage in a month.

However, there are a lot of people who have not been discussed, and many people have driven people out as soon as they see Chu Junxi and Qi Ran, for fear of contaminating their stores.

However, Chu Junxi is not sad, tomorrow Fangfu's birthday banquet is done, and there can still be a long-term buyer. Although it is a family, there are nearly 100 people under the master of Fangfu, and the master may not eat cabbage every day, but most of the people eat are cheap dishes like cabbage, and the amount they want is indispensable.

In order to facilitate the delivery in the future, the Chu family's remaining money was used to buy a wooden cart, and the pocket was empty in an instant. Chu Junxi could only hope that the Fang family would be able to give more rewards at that time.

Fifty cabbages are still very heavy, and Chu's father is not very worried that the two children will go by themselves, so he simply does not go to chop wood, and personally escorts the cabbage to Fang Yuanwai's house.

And Chu's father's worries are not unreasonable, if you bring too many things, it is easy to attract the eyes of others, and as soon as the car entered the town, the three of them met a scoundrel.

The two men in front of him have sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, and they don't look like good people, Chu Junxi looks at the color on their bodies is also very weird, cyan and gray, the whole is intertwined, very turbid, Chu Junxi has never seen such a color before.

"Hey, hey, your cabbage looks good, we all want it!" Sharp-beaked monkey gills No. 1 said this, and it didn't look like he was asking for money, as if he wanted to take it for nothing.

"Little brother, these dishes have already been ordered, if you want it, when we send this car, we will go and get some for you." Although Father Chu also sensed the other party's bad intentions, he was still polite first.

"Someone's decided? Who wants it? Our Tian family wants this dish, does anyone dare to grab it? "The sharp-beaked monkey gills No. 2 reversed black and white, obviously he grabbed it himself, but he said that it was someone else.

"Little brother, it's the town's Fang Yuan's family, their old lady has a seventieth birthday, and there is a birthday banquet tonight, which is for their family."

Fang Yuan is still a relatively famous figure in the town, and he thought that these two scoundrels would give up when they heard it, but they didn't think about it, but they became even worse. "Fang family? Hehe, then we'll have to ask for it even more! ”

The two sharp-beaked monkeys were about to grab it, but Father Chu stepped forward with an arrow and blocked the two. Father Chu does rough work all year round, and people are also tall, those two sharp-beaked monkey gills are not opponents at all, seeing that they can't beat them, they actually touch porcelain!

One was just pushed, and then he fell to the ground, and his mouth began to scream. "Do you know whose family I belong to? How dare you do it? I want you to walk around today if you can't eat! ”

There are more and more people around, of course, those people are just coming to see the play, no one will help, and Chu Junxi can't count on them. As soon as these two broken-skinned scoundrels touched the porcelain, they were afraid that they would miss the time and not make any money, not to mention, with the prestige of the Fang family, they were afraid that it would be more difficult to do business in the future.

The two sides were at a stalemate, and the nearby officials were also alarmed. "What for? It's all scattered! "The official didn't care about the three, seven, twenty-one, and went to disperse the crowd first, but he still had the courage to stand and watch the excitement.

"What's going on with you guys?" The two officials pointed at a few people with knives.

Chu Junxi had never seen this battle, so he couldn't help but be a little scared. Qi Ran seemed to notice her uneasiness, so he quietly took her hand, hoping to soothe her.

"Official, we belong to the cloth merchant Tian family in the town, we just want to buy their food, this man refuses to agree, forget it, and even beat people!" The scoundrels preemptively sued the wicked first, and also signed up for their own numbers, as if they wanted to suppress them by virtue of their identity and power.

"Official, it's not like this. I've already said that this dish was ordered by Fang Yuan's family, and if they want it, they can wait for us to finish delivering it and then go back to pick it up, but instead of listening, they still want to rob it, and I pushed him because I wanted to protect my own things...... I really didn't hit anyone! "Father Chu didn't hesitate when he encountered something, this is the result of his daughter's hard work, how can it be ruined by these scoundrels?

After listening to the words of both sides, the two officials began to mumble.

"This Tian family and the Fang family often don't seem to deal with each other......"

"Isn't it? The Tian family thinks that the Fang family is high, and the Fang family dislikes the Tian family as a nouveau riche, and these things are not less provoked! ”

"What do you call that? Why was we encountered, we can't help anyone! ”

"Two officials, today is Old Lady Fang's birthday, if you don't believe it, follow us! Whether the Fang family wants to accept our family's dishes, you will know when you go! ”

Chu Junxi heard the muttering of the two people, and hurriedly added a fire. Usually forget it, today is the birthday of the old lady, don't touch the mold!

Although Chu Junxi's words made the officials shake a little, they still couldn't make a decision......

"What's going on up ahead? Get out of the way! We're still in a hurry to celebrate our birthday! "A carriage came by, and because the road was half blocked, the carriage could not pass at all.

Chu Junxi didn't hear that there were other families doing birthday today, and the people in that carriage should be there to celebrate Old Lady Fang's birthday, which means that they are friendly troops!

The coachman didn't expect someone to suddenly rush out, so he involuntarily whipped it, and when he reacted, he realized that he had whipped a little girl. But the smoke is also pumped, who let her come over suddenly? "What are you doing?"

Qi Ran immediately rushed over when he saw the whip coming down, but he still didn't pull Chu Junxi away, and when the whip came down, it seemed to be whipped in his heart.

Chu Junxi was so drawn that tears came out, and her body was pumped so hot that it hurt, but she still said "It's okay" to Qi Ran and continued to ask for help from the people in the carriage. "The noble man went to celebrate Old Lady Fang's birthday? Please make the decision for us! ”
