Chapter 16 Large-scale procurement

"I'm going to relax, I don't have to come with me, I'll reply to the capital according to what I said!" Before the words fell, he had already turned out the back door, and the old shopkeeper sighed while wiping the beads of sweat while supporting the master, and muttered in a low voice, "This old mansion is really not good for the son, and there will always be some trouble every ten days and a half months..."

The little housekeeper in the account room on the side heard the movement and ran out, and saw that his shopkeeper's face was not good, so he hurriedly helped him into the house, poured tea and served it, and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper, what happened, why do you seem to be tired?" ”

This little steward was pulled up by the old shopkeeper, and he relied on it a lot on weekdays, and he didn't hide his inquiry, so he took a sip of warm tea and said, "What can I do, it's not that the old mansion is annoying the son, the son must go to the Rouge Pavilion to find the peony girl, there is already gossip in this city, and it is not easy for the son to marry a lady in the future." ”

The little steward also frowned, "Although the son is a little informal on weekdays, he is a capable person and kind-hearted, if the masters in the old mansion treat him a little well, he will definitely not be like this." ”

"That's right, Childe is very kind in his heart, just now two female liars coaxed Childe to say that fresh vegetables can be grown in winter, Childe knew that it was fake, and asked me to send twenty taels of silver."

"Growing vegetables in the winter?" The little steward was also surprised, and after listening to the old shopkeeper nagging about what had just happened, he opened his mouth to persuade, "The shopkeeper, the little one thinks that our son never does loss-making business, maybe the woman really has some way, not to mention anything else, if this bet is right, our restaurant really sells fresh vegetables in winter, and the rich building opposite must not dare to stir trouble with his tail between his legs." really got such a result, let alone twenty taels, even two hundred taels are worth it. ”

The old shopkeeper pondered for a moment, the wrinkles on his face also expanded, patted the little steward on the shoulder and said, "I'm old, this brain is not bright, or you kid is thoughtful, after a year or two, I will resign and go home to care for the elderly, and I will recommend you to take the errand of this restaurant with my son." ”

The little steward was overjoyed, and immediately saluted and thanked him, and the two of them were talking about harmony, but the little guy ran back before, and as soon as he entered the door, he said, "Shopkeeper, I just followed behind the two female liars..."

The old shopkeeper didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and scolded, "What a female liar, you kid doesn't have a doorkeeper on your lips, that's a friend who cooperates with our son-in-law in business, how can you be so rude?" ”

The young man was stunned, and said in a somewhat aggrieved whisper, "Shopkeeper, those two women got the money, went to the market to squander it, and bought a cart of supplies, where is it like doing business with our son-in-law, obviously they are liars..."

Steward Xiao hurriedly played a round game, pulled the little guy to him and said with a smile, "If people are liars, what are they buying, how easy it is to take the money and run away, not to mention that the son has never done a loss-making business, it is our shopkeeper, how many years of experience, if it is really a liar, can you not stop the child?" ”

The old shopkeeper was very comfortable by these words, stroked his beard and smiled, "Childe is wise, he will definitely not look at the wrong person, this business may be a good opportunity." After saying that, he thought for a while, and finally asked, "By the way, can you inquire about the origin of those two women?" ”

When the young man heard the two of them say this, it seemed to make sense, so he scratched the back of his head and laughed, and responded, "I followed them all the way to the gate of the government office, where some villagers were paying grain taxes, and I asked someone a few words, it was indeed the carriage and horse of Nangou Village." ”

The old shopkeeper was completely relieved, got up and said with a smile, "This can't be a liar, let's get busy, if the son comes back, report it to me as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, shopkeeper."

Not to mention what the master and servant of Baiyun Juli thought, just said, Pu Cao and Chun Ni walked out of the back alley hand in hand, found a secluded place and stood for a long time, Pu Cao suddenly screamed with joy, "Success, success, Ma Shan can build a greenhouse!" ”

Chunni also laughed and jumped and jumped, and said excitedly, "There are people who believe that they really give silver, and they still have so much!" ”

Pu Cao secretly touched a handful of hard silver coins in his arms, his eyes were about to squint with a smile, and he said angrily, "Don't say that I seem to be cheating people about money, and when I grow vegetables in winter, this restaurant will make a lot of money by keeping it, and now they will not be too much to pay some deposits." ”

Chunni unceremoniously unceremoniously exposed her shortcomings, and pouted with a smile, "Now it's so bullish again, I don't know who was so scared just now that my fingers were cold." ”

"I, I'm nervous." Pu Cao's mouth was stiff, she reached out to Chunni's armpit to tickle, and said with a smile, "You weren't so scared just now that you didn't dare to touch the tea bowl." ”

The two of them laughed, tidied up their hair and clothes, and went down to the street happily, found a good grocery store, and began to pick out scissors, needles, thimbles, lampstands, and other things.

Chunni looked at Pucao and took a double portion of everything, so she said, "What do you do when you buy so much, and the days will be long in the future, and the silver money will be saved." ”

Pu Cao ignored her, bought a small bamboo basket, smiled and shouted that the little man had packed it, took a small silver coin out, and paid for it by the way.

After the two of them went out, Pu Cao said, "Your mother-in-law is too picky, and you don't have these items at home, of course I have to buy you a copy." ”

Chunni's eyes turned red, and she desperately excused herself, "You have it, I just go to you to borrow it when I want to use it, what are you going to do with all this money?" ”

Pu Cao shook her head, "Then how can it be done, every woman has to have a share of these things, and she will not give up her hands when she starts working." After speaking, he didn't wait for Chunni to excuse herself, pulled her and ran to the cloth village next to her, and said with a smile, "Let's hurry, there are still a lot of things to add." ”

Chunni knew that Pucao was sincere, so she didn't shirk it, and followed her into the cloth village. The Zhang family has four people, large and small, only three quilts, all of which are tattered, and there is no half of the cotton clothes in winter, and Pucao has long remembered it in his heart.

Now I have a lot of money on hand, and I bought two large rolls of cotton thread, a box of embroidery thread, three duck egg greens, a stone blue, a blue white cotton cloth, and a full forty catties of cotton. Then he sent them out like a plague god.

Chunni blushed, felt sorry for the boss, and shouted that she would definitely bring the sisters-in-law and aunts in the village to patronize in the future, and the face of the boss of the cloth village was much better.

Pu Cao didn't believe the boss's lies full of losses, so she pulled Chunni and went to the butcher shop again, the big bone soup stew she bought back last time, the whole family loved it very much, of course she had to buy more this time.

Not to mention that when several children are growing up, even Pucao is only seventeen years old, if it is calcium supplementation and nutrition, how can the height grow another inch or two, just now the little guy said that she was a little monkey seriously hurt her self-esteem, she made up her mind, to do whatever it takes to let herself regain the beauty of her previous life!

The owner of the butcher shop is used to picking the meat on the bones cleanly, and it is estimated that throwing it to the puppy can make the puppy cry, so he doesn't expect to sell it on weekdays, but he saves it for a few days and throws it away.

At this moment, I suddenly heard that Pucao was going to spend copper money to buy these bones, and I thought I had heard it wrong, but finally asked seriously, and immediately responded happily, as long as ten cents, Pucao took away more than 20 big bone sticks.

Pu Cao saw that the boss was bold, and remembered the braised pork that he promised Chunni, so he simply gave up 100 yuan and bought a large piece of fat and thin pork belly.

Chunni was trembling in distress on the side, and stepped forward to stop her, but Pu Cao said that she was going to use it for stir-fry when she was looking for someone to help build a greenhouse in a few days, and she reluctantly agreed.

After leaving the butcher's shop, there was a grain shop and a small market, and when the two of them finally bought all the supplies and dragged two large baskets of objects to the front of the government office, the villagers had been waiting for them for a long time.

Liu Housheng almost stretched his neck into a giraffe, and when he saw them coming back, he stepped forward to take the basket, and couldn't help complaining, "Why did you come back so late, you are so tired that everyone is waiting." ”

Pu Cao didn't want Chunni to be wronged, so she quickly answered, "It's all me, and I forget the time when I go shopping." After speaking, he saluted the people in the village and said with a smile, "I am so tired that my brothers, sisters-in-law, and uncles have to wait." ”

In fact, everyone, who had just paid the tax and grain, had only been half an hour, and they were originally sitting at the base of the wall to rest, looking at the street scene, and they didn't feel any dissatisfaction. But when the seven or eight women returned, they began to get impatient when they saw that they had to wait for the two of them, and the men grew tired of listening to the fact that the pigs were not fed at home, and the children who complained that there was no one at home to cook.

When Chen Li was about to summon Liu Housheng to greet him, the young man from Buzhuang came with a big cotton bag and cloth.

Everyone was curious, and after asking, they found out that Pucao and Chunni bought it, and their faces were all very strange, they all lived in the same village, and everyone knew what their days were.

Let's not talk about Liu Housheng's small family, almost even if they leave the house, let's talk about Pucao's family, the rations that have been sold for a year have finally redeemed the house, they have glanced at the door a few times, the house is an empty shelf, although there is no need to freeze this winter, but it must not even be full of bud porridge.

But where did the money come from to buy so much cotton cloth?

There was a jealous woman with red eyes, and when she spoke, she had a little ill intentions, and Liu Housheng was angry and difficult to explain, so he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, secretly hoping that his daughter-in-law would come back soon.

It's a pity that the matter is not over, just left the cloth village guy came to the descendants of two pottery shops, two-wheeled carriage, pulled two large two small four pottery pots, plus two copper basins, two large iron pots, everyone was naturally even more surprised.
