Chapter 244: A Family Outing
On October 18, the old yellow calendar marked that it was an auspicious day to enter the house, open the market, collect money, and collect money, and Shen Zhong chose this day to let the golden and jade hall in Gushan Town open again.
When it opened, it was just a simple display to see a string of firecrackers, Shen Zhong invited the previous young man back, and invited a new strong man, and the grain store was officially opened.
The town has long since lost its bustle as it used to be, and many shops have closed. Suddenly, a grain store opened, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.
At this time, those who can still open a grain store are not simple characters, and those with a thief's heart also know to look at the form first.
"Look, what's written on this red paper? Which literacy is read to the big guys. ”
This time, Uncle Qing was not allowed to stand at the door and make loud publicity, which was too ostentatious, but only posted a notice at the door of the golden and jade hall in a low-key manner.
"I'll read it." Literate people squeezed forward and read it seriously for the big guys.
"Jinyu Mantang has been newly opened, and the owner has launched a special price of 100 catties of grain per day for 100 catties per catty, and 10 wen per catty."
"Wow...... It's so cheap, what are you waiting for, go in and buy it! ”
As soon as I heard ten cents and a pound, those who couldn't wait had to rush inside.
"Wait a minute, I haven't finished reading it yet!"
"No one can buy up to five catties a day, and the elderly and young children have the right of first refusal."
"In addition to special grain, fine grain is 30 wen a catty, coarse grain is 20 wen a catty, each person is limited to 10 catties per day, and a total of 100 catties of coarse grain is given."
After listening to the big guy, he didn't hesitate, as long as there was silver in his pocket, he hurried to the gold and jade hall, this low grain price is estimated to be found in Zezhou, if it weren't for the owner's purchase restrictions, it is estimated that many people will have a bad idea again.
The grain store in Gushan Town soon became regular, and news also came from Shaoyang City, the store had been negotiated, waiting for Shen Zhong to sign the contract.
November is already early winter, and not a drop of water has fallen from the sky for most of the year, and the cold wind is dry and biting, and the people who blow are uncomfortable.
Xiao Xia's family is about to go out in such bad weather, and even the little four, who is more than a year old, was carried by Xiao Wang's and got into a big carriage, and the carriage that the family already had was a little small and not warm enough. There are many people going out this time, and it is still such a cold winter. I hired two spacious and luxurious ones, which were also equipped with a large stove, so that the carriage was very warm.
With Lao Zhao and Aunt Li at home, Xiao Xia is very relieved. When everything was ready and about to set off, Shen Zhi came to the door again.
This is the fourth time he has come to Shen Xiaoxia to ask for drawings, and after he lost the drawings, he waited at the door of the Fengyu Hotel for a day and a night, and when the Fengyun Hotel finally opened its doors to do business, he knew that on the day Shen Xiaoxia gave him the drawings, he had already left and returned to Shenjia Village.
After that, Shen Zhi followed Shen Xiaoxia back to Shenjia Village to ask for the drawings, of course Xiaoxia couldn't give him another copy, but Shen Zhi was not someone who could give up.
Shen Zhi stopped the carriage and dragged Shen Zhong out of the carriage, his tone was not good. "Second brother, at the beginning, we said okay, you give me the drawings, and I will write a contract to give you a guarantee, but now the contract is in your hands, but I don't have the drawings, is this in the past?"
"Third uncle, didn't I already promise to paint for you again? But you see, I'm always busy, and where I have time, the drawings can't be drawn in a day or two. ”
Shen Zhi glared at Shen Xiaoxia with red eyes, turned to look at Shen Zhong, and said, "If you don't give me the drawings today, return that contract to me, and our brothers will never get along with each other in the future." ”
Shen Zhong didn't have a temper at all, and after listening to Shen Zhi's words of disregard for brotherhood, he turned around and went back to the house to get the contract.
"I didn't intend to drag you down, you are an official, I am a farmer, and the path is different."
After listening to Shen Zhong's words, Shen Zhi's sanity finally returned, he knew that he was too anxious, and said something that should not be said, let him give up the drawing, he was not reconciled.
"Second brother, I was in a hurry just now, I didn't mean that, I really ......"
"Okay, I'll send you the drawings when Xiao Xia finishes drawing. Uncle Qing, let's go! ”
"Yes, sir." Uncle Qing raised his horsewhip, and the two carriages set off one after another.
Shen Zhi looked at the carriage in the distance, and finally realized that Shen Zhong was really no longer someone he could control, and he was unwilling.
This time I went to Shaoyang City, because I was dragging my family, the family walked for ten days before I saw the gate of Shaoyang City.
"Eldest sister, second sister, look, is this Shaoyang City, it's so big!" Xiaoqiu opened the corner of the curtain and looked out secretly.
The people sitting in this carriage are all little girls, in addition to the three sisters of Xiaochun, there are spring flowers, embroidery, and flying flowers. The little girls were not very old, and they were all very curious, and they all crowded forward and wanted to take a second look.
Chunhua was the most daring, and directly lifted the curtain of the carriage, and a cold wind suddenly blew in, and the heat in the carriage disappeared in an instant.
But the girls didn't care about the cold, they all stretched their necks, looked at the tall city wall outside, the heavy red painted city gates, and the passing cars and the crowd of people hurrying, and when they saw the soldiers guarding the city, they quickly lowered the curtain with cautious embroidery.
"Girls, let's not look at it, the girls in the city are not allowed to show their heads."
"Embroidery, you have a lot to do, I haven't seen enough yet!" Xiaoqiu complained, but sat back in her place.
"Third Miss, this is for the sake of your reputation."
Xiao Qiu twisted her head to the side when she heard this.
Embroidery glanced at the eldest girl aggrievedly, lowered her head and stopped talking.
Xiaochun hugged Xiaoqiu and gently comforted: "Third sister, embroidery is also for our good, don't be angry." ”
Xiaoqiu is a generous child, and she didn't really get angry, so she turned her head and forgot about it. Began to try to look outside again. And the embroidery didn't know what to think and began to be silent, not moving.
Xiao Xia saw everything in her eyes and didn't say anything, the girls were slowly growing up, and everything had to be explored by themselves. Besides, what she pointed out was not necessarily right.
When I entered the city, I found a inn that was not luxurious but very clean.
The next day, Shen Zhong took Uncle Qing and the seventh master who came to the joint to see the store, and if there was no problem, he could sign the contract directly.
And the Shen Xiaoxia sisters planned to go shopping on the street.
Shaoyang City is big, although Xiaoxia has been here, but he really hasn't visited Shaoyang City well. A few girls wanted to go in and have a look when they saw the shop on the street, but Shen Fei, the only man behind them, was tossed enough.
When it was time for lunch, there was hardly any place to put anything in the carriage where several people were sitting.
"I just found out that in fact, our family's favorite shopping is Xiao Xia, and most of the things in this car are bought by Xiao Xia." Koharu looked at Xiao Natsu who couldn't get enough of it and quipped.
"You can buy it with confidence! I'll pay you the bills. Xiao Xia patted his chest and assured his thighs.
Xiaoqiu longed to open a few more pairs of eyes, and his eyes were also outside when he sat in the carriage.
"Eldest sister, second sister, look, is that person a talent in our village."
