Chapter Eighty-Three: Not for Sale
When Shopkeeper Sun heard this, he chuckled in his heart, and faintly felt that something was wrong.
Sure enough, Pu Cao abandoned the dog and ignored it, turned to him and said, "Just now I didn't make my words clear, so Shopkeeper Sun misunderstood." The vegetables in my shed are only enough to supply a restaurant, but this restaurant is a rich building in Baiyunju instead of Sun's shopkeeper. ”
Shopkeeper Sun was stunned for a moment, the smugness on his face instantly faded, and he said in a deep voice, "Little sister-in-law, I'm afraid you don't often go to the city." Count it in the entire Cuiluan City, our Fuguilou is the most magnificent, and Baiyunju is difficult to compare with us at all. The old man doesn't know what high price Baiyunju has offered to his sister-in-law, but no matter how much he pays, we will add fifty percent! How does the sister-in-law see this sincerity? ”
Everyone in the room held their breath when they heard this, and their minds quickly calculated what the concept of adding fifty percent more was. That is to say, if you cut vegetables once before and sell them for ten taels of silver, this rich building is willing to pay fifteen taels to buy it back, and earn half more for nothing!
Several members of the Chen family and Chunni all turned their heads to look at Pu Cao, Second Uncle Zhang and Second Aunt Zhang didn't know when they came to him, but they nodded their heads like chickens pecking rice, and they couldn't wait to step forward and press Pu Cao to agree immediately.
It's a pity, Pu Cao still smiled and shook his head, "Shopkeeper Sun's offer is indeed sincere, but I still can't accept this deal." I have signed a deed of sale with Fang Gongzi of Baiyunju, and if it is violated, our Zhang family will have to suffer a lawsuit. Shopkeeper Sun doesn't blame the little woman for being timid, she is really a small family, and she can't cause those troubles. ”
Shopkeeper Sun saw the smile on Pu Cao's face, but he didn't let it go, and his heart became a little anxious. He patted his chest with the owner yesterday and hit the guarantee, if he went back empty-handed, he would be kicked out of the rich building with the owner's irritable temper.
Thinking like this, he pinched the gold hoop ring on his hand fiercely, gritted his teeth and increased the price, "Seventy!" ”
Everyone's eyes widened again, staring at Pu Cao and waiting to see how she reacted, but Pu Cao still shook her head and threw out two words, "Don't sell!" ”
"Ninety percent!" Shopkeeper Sun was almost gritting his back molars and shouting the price, and Yang Jiu, who was not far behind him, saw that the green tendons at the root of his ears were jumping, and he couldn't help but quietly move back a few steps, his face full of schadenfreude.
"Let you blame me, old fellow, huh! Now that people have found the right one, you can't talk about this business, see who else you can find to carry the black pot? ”
Shopkeeper Sun didn't know that Yang Jiu was slandering in his heart, he saw Pu Cao shaking his head at this time, and he didn't even respond to the word "no", he was really angry, he slapped the table and stood up, and said loudly, "Double!" We paid double the silver in the rich building, but the greens in this shed can no longer be sold to others! ”
As soon as the offer came out this time, everyone looked at Pucao as if they were worshipping immortals. From beginning to end, she only said two words, shook her head once, and simply doubled the price, this scheming method has never been seen before.
Uncle Chen wanted to open his mouth to persuade a few words, but thinking that he was not the Zhang family after all, he swallowed back the words vigorously, and stopped the old wife and daughter-in-law from making a sound.
Chunni was trembling with excitement, what is the price of double, that is, she and she can get ten taels of silver every time she sells vegetables after giving birth! That's worth two years' worth of harvest, which is definitely a lot of money!
She stepped forward and pulled the grass, and said in a trembling voice, "The grass... This, this..."
Pu Cao naturally understood what Chunni meant, and she was actually a little tempted, after all, silver is really a universal thing, with it, you can be fed, clothed, and even warm.
However, the modern education she received since she was a child has allowed her to take a longer view. Now that the family's vegetables are sold to Baiyun Residence, the money earned is enough to live a good life, and the more Fuguilou will naturally be more generous, but it will not be able to ascend to the sky in an instant.
Besides, to speak in conscience, without Fang Jie's support, she would not have succeeded today. If she reneges on her faith for the sake of money, how can she straighten her back and be a person in the future!
Thinking of this, she shook her head at Chunni, then turned to Shopkeeper Sun, who was full of determination, and said with a smile, "Thank you Shopkeeper Sun for being so sincere, but I still can't abandon Baiyunju and choose another Fuguilou." At the end of autumn, I visited a restaurant and wanted to advance money to build this vegetable shed.
Speaking of you, I've also been to your rich building, but unfortunately I was kicked out by the young man. In the end, only Fang Gongzi of Baiyunju made a note with me, and he happily advanced twenty taels of silver to help me grow vegetables. Not to mention that the note has long stated the ownership of the green vegetables, just to say that Baiyunju's kindness and trust, I can't easily turn my back on it because of the money.
Therefore, Shopkeeper Sun should not mention the matter of buying and selling, and you will go on this trip in vain today. ”
Pu Cao's voice fell, and the room was quiet for a while, Chun Ni remembered the cold eyes she received when she visited Pu Cao's restaurant from restaurant to restaurant that day, and the ecstasy of the two of them when they came out of Baiyunju, and she was very ashamed of the wealth fan just now, so she hurriedly pulled Pu Cao's sleeve and said, "You are right, you can't be ungrateful to be a man." ”
Zhang Guier, who had been standing not far behind Pu Cao, actually agreed, "The so-called, people do not stand without faith. Our Zhang family must not do that treacherous thing! Sister-in-law, I approve of this. ”
Everyone in the Chen family glanced at each other, although they still felt sorry for Pucao, but the peasants were simple in nature, and they were very much in favor of the truth that the grace of dripping water would be reciprocated, so they all nodded silently.
Only Uncle Zhang's family heard Pu Cao's refusal, and their eyes were about to pop out.
Second Uncle Zhang was the first to jump up and shouted, "Bullshit Xinyi, there is no silver to come!" That's a white flower, isn't Baiyunju just an advance of twenty taels? After selling the vegetables, the money will be returned to Fang Gongzi. He took a little silver at the beginning, and now he has changed a shed of vegetables, how can there be such a good thing in the world! A profiteer, he's a profiteer! ”
Second Aunt Zhang also followed to help, "No, this person has a good calculation." Pucao, you can't ruin the old Zhang family like this for the sake of any faith that you can't eat or drink! ”
She said and pulled Zhang Gui'er again, "Our noble brother will take the top prize exam in the future, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and Beijing to entangle, which don't want silver." If you are stupid and push the silver out, delay the future of our noble brother, and see that our eldest brother and sister-in-law will not crawl back from the underworld to receive you! ”
It's a pity that Zhang Guier had already expressed his attitude just now, and he returned to his original position early and bowed his head and stopped talking, ignoring these words at all. was so angry that Aunt Zhang wanted to catch him, and opened her skull to see if there was water inside.
When the shopkeeper heard that he had missed such an opportunity, he was also secretly ruthless in his heart, and when he went back, he must ask which guy cut off the restaurant's wealth?
To be honest, he was definitely angry when he thought about it like that. Even if there was no buddy to stop him at the beginning, with his usual above-the-top appearance, maybe he just heard the words "growing vegetables in winter" and kicked Pucao out as a madman.
Of course, it is impossible for a man like him to think of his own mistakes, so the young man is destined to be a punching bag.
Yang Jiu pondered that it would not be good for him to go back empty-handed, so he said, "What the little sister-in-law said also makes some sense, being ungrateful is a villain's act. However, the little one heard that Baiyunju had already shipped back the vegetables twice, and the business was really hot these days. If you want to repay the favor, this is more than enough.
Our Fuguilou is not to mention that it is in Cuiluan City, even in Beijing, there are still some forces, if the sister-in-law is worried that Baiyunju will turn her face, our Fuguilou can also keep the Zhang family safe. But if the sister-in-law insists on going her own way, if there is something wrong with the Zhang family in the future, we will not be able to help Fuguilou. ”
At first glance, his words seemed to be very sincere, but when he looked closely, he felt a kind of threat. Pu Cao raised his eyebrows and replied with a sneer, "Thank you for mentioning this steward, but our Snow Country is the most important law, as long as our Zhang family works seriously and earns hard money, no one can touch us." But which villain has a crooked mind, I'm afraid that he will drink the northwest wind in prison for a few years. ”
Yang Jiu's eyes flashed when he was choked, and when he was about to speak again, Shopkeeper Sun opened his mouth and scolded, "Shut up, there are no rules, how can you intervene when I talk about business!" ”
After he said this, the corners of his eyes swept towards Zhang Er and his wife, and he said with a smile, "Second Brother Zhang, you are a member of the Zhang family, do you want to persuade you to give a few sentences and get an idea for the juniors?" ”
Zhang Er complained bitterly in his heart, just now in the car, the shopkeeper Sun had promised that if the matter was completed, he would give him five taels of thanks. He originally thought that this small fortune was just three fingers pinching the snail - steadily in his hand, where did he think that Pucao was stupid and refused to respond, and even Zhang Guier refused to stand on his side.
At this time, he was told by the shopkeeper Sun again, and he could only stalk his neck and pretend to be a big clove of garlic. He is also surnamed Zhang, and he occupies the position of uncle of his cousin, even if the matter is not successful, he will not be beaten and thrown out.
Thinking of this, he slammed the table with a bang, which can be regarded as giving himself courage first. Then he shouted angrily, "No, this Zhang family's wealth can't be ruined by your little widow." I have the final say in this matter, I will cut vegetables and sell them to the shopkeeper Sun today, and tomorrow I will use the silver money to pay back the surnamed Fang. Tell him that our Zhang family will not be fooled by him. ”
Seeing him so brazen, Pu Cao was really angry, and was about to scold back a few words, but she saw that Sister-in-law Chen, who was standing at the door, kept talking at the door.
A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she immediately accepted her anger, and turned to defend her grievances, "Second uncle, the elders in the village have already said that I am in charge of the affairs of the Zhang family. But you have come to the door so many times to make trouble, where did you listen to the words of the elders? Could it be that the elders have no prestige in this village? Could it be that my Zhang family is not under the control of the village elders? ”
Second Uncle Zhang was already ready, just waiting for Pu Cao to scold and resist, he would play tricks again, how could he force her to make this deal. It's a pity that Pu Cao suddenly softened her breath, he thought that he had scared her by being so tough just now.
So my heart was overjoyed, and my brain became even more rampant as soon as it was hot, "What elders, Lizheng, don't scare me with those outsiders." The Zhang family is my final say! What are they, they dare to be the master of my Zhang family! ”
"Zhang Lao Er, do you dare to tell us in person!"
As soon as Second Uncle Zhang's words fell, he heard someone shouting angrily outside the door, and then the two doors were suddenly pushed open from the outside.
