Chapter 26 Buying Land
Zhong Xiaohua knew that if there was no satisfactory result in these two things today, the business would definitely not be able to go on in the future.
"Zhong Liyue, you stand up for me, you said to everyone today, what's the matter with yesterday's bun filling?"
Zhong Xiaosan stood next to him for a while, and at this time he heard the second sister's cry and hurriedly walked over, and he saw that the second sister, who had never lost her temper in front of him, became a little ...... today
"Second brother...... Yesterday's bun filling was a bit of a problem......"
Zhong Xiaosan knew that he was at a loss, and he didn't dare to look up at Zhong Xiaohua's fire-breathing eyes.
"Got a problem......? What is the problem, you explain it to everyone, and the worms in the buns, I hope you will give me an explanation. ”
Zhong Xiaohua has never lost her temper since she came to this house, but today, she is really angry......
The most taboo thing about cooking food is that it is not clean.
"I made too many steamed buns the day before yesterday, and I thought it was a pity to throw them away, so I mixed them with yesterday's steamed bun stuffing, but I didn't know it could be serious here......"
Zhong Xiaosan glanced up at Zhong Xiaohua, and quickly lowered his head and continued.
"Zhongli Yue! How did I explain to you, we would rather not make money than do things that violate our conscience! Diners are our food and clothing parents, how can you disregard their lives for a little profit......
Zhong Xiaohua suddenly raised her voice and scolded at Xiao San in a loud voice.
"Second brother, I won't do this again in the future, I will be obedient, and I will throw away the fillings that I didn't finish today! I don't dare! ”
Zhong Xiaosan's voice was mixed with crying.
When everyone heard this, they gasped.
If you didn't finish it today, you want to throw it away?
How much was wasted that day? How much money is wasted?
"Well, you don't need to throw it away even if you're not done, right?"
"Yes, yes! It's just a day, so it shouldn't be a problem. ”
……
Everyone immediately changed the direction of the wind, and their eyes when they looked at Zhong Xiaohua also changed.
Zhong Xiaohua saw that everyone had already turned against each other, so she said to the man who ate the worm next to her.
"These two big brothers, I apologize to the two of you here, because of my negligent management, it happened today, so I will be responsible for this matter today."
Zhong Xiaohua faced the two of them, clasped her fists and hands, and then raised her voice to everyone.
"This big brother, I'm really sorry for eating bugs in my shop today. Now I will give him ten taels of silver to make amends. ”
When the man heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, ten taels of silver! I'm afraid I can't make so much money by working on my own for a year......
Without saying a word, he hurriedly took the silver and put it in his arms.
Zhong Xiaohua turned to the man with the child again.
"This eldest brother, the child has a bad stomach, and I feel uncomfortable, I will accompany you to see a doctor for the child now, and I am giving you twenty taels of silver, you go back to buy some tonic products for the child, and replenish the body well."
"Since you are so sincere, I also accept your apology, the child's matter, I will take him to the doctor myself, you are a busy man, I don't care about you."
The man didn't look like Zhong Xiaohua was talking flatteringly, so he didn't say anything, took the silver, hugged the child and was about to leave.
"Big brother, go slowly, wait for me to finish."
Zhong Xiaohua stopped the man who was about to leave.
The man looked at her in surprise, not knowing why.
"To tell the truth, the child's diarrhea today may also be because he can't stand the gastrointestinal stimulation for a while, why don't I give the eldest brother a way, you go back and try it, if you eat well, you don't have to go to the doctor to suffer."
The other side will be suspicious.
Zhong Xiaohua quietly told them what she had asked Xiao San to eat before, and then sent them away with a smile.
"Today, in front of so many people, I declare that from today onwards, as long as anyone in my shop eats unclean, unhygienic, and spoiled buns, bring them to me, and I will reward him with fifty taels of silver."
Coax......
The onlookers exploded in the pot, fifty taels......
If you just said that you won't come to eat in the future, you're afraid you'll be able to eat bugs right now!
After this incident, the business of the steamed bun shop was not only not affected, but it was getting better and better, I don't know if it was related to the reward of fifty taels of silver.
The business of the steamed bun shop was back on track, and then, Zhong Xiaohua found a few people with better "supplies" nearby through the introduction of others.
She wanted to buy a few tenants from this man's hand, because it is impossible to farm without people, and in this era, all work must be cultivated by hand.
"How many people do you want, and how old do they be?"
This person is worthy of being a regular in this business, and as soon as they meet, he will get straight to the point and say,
"I want people of all ages, where are your people? Can I go check it out? ”
Zhong Xiaohua said and looked at Renyazi with an inquiring gaze.
Buying people, but it's the first time in the world.
"Yes, but not today, I'll bring them tomorrow."
After speaking, he was the first to walk out the door.
The next day, Renyazi came to the door of the steamed bun shop very early, and behind him, a group of people were standing.
Zhong Xiaohua stood in front of this group of people, she selected a few little girls and young men around ten years old, a few men in their forties and fifties, and two or three families with parents and children.
"Please, you have me! My father is sick and needs to be healed, but I can provide for him. Take my father with me! ……”
Just as she was asking everyone to sign the white deed and the death deed, a person came out of the selection of those strong men and knelt in front of Zhong Xiaohua with a plop.
Zhong Xiaohua took a few quick steps to pull him up.
"What's your name, why did you fall into this field, get up and speak, get up quickly......"
"My name is Wang Qinglin, I am fifteen years old this year, because we have been drought there for many years, I only brought my father here, and I have no relatives here, and I can't find a job, so I ......"
Zhong Xiaohua looked at this person carefully, just from his appearance, he looked like he was in his twenties, he may have been malnourished for a long time, his face was yellow and thin, only skin and bones remained, but his eyes revealed a spirit.
"Please, you can take me, I don't need to be paid, you just need to treat my father, give us food and shelter, I can do anything, it's really ......"
The man said, and was about to kneel down for Zhong Xiaohua, but she stopped him......
"Okay, where is your father, let him come out too?"
Seeing that the man was grateful and inexplicably helped the old man out of it, Zhong Xiaohua nodded and bought these people.
"Zhong Liyue, you get a few steamed buns and pack them immediately, let them eat first, and take them to see the doctor in a while."
Zhong Xiaohua turned around and explained to Zhong Xiaosan, who was busy in the store.
When Zhong Xiaohua handed a large bag of hot buns that were still steaming white to the man, the man cried.
"Thank you, shopkeeper, I ...... I will do a good job in the future to repay you......"
"Shopkeeper, don't worry, if he doesn't do a good job, I'll kill him!"
The old man also has ruddy eyes, he is skinny, because of the drag of the disease, this body is not as good as a day, originally reported the heart of death, I don't want to drag down my young son, but who knows, there are eyes in the sky, someone actually bought him!
Eminem's thin figure appeared in Zhong Xiaohua's mind again.
"Thank you, shopkeeper, I ...... I'm not going to sign a white deed, I'm going to change my contract with my father to a death deed. ”
After bowing deeply to Zhong Xiaohua after speaking, Wang Qinglin nodded heavily......
In fact, during this period of begging, there were too many injustices.
"Shopkeeper, you can change our contract to a death contract!"
"That's, that's it, we follow a shopkeeper like you, we are at ease."
Some people who signed the white deed at first saw Zhong Xiaohua's modesty, and decided to change the deed of sale to a death deed.
After all, in this troubled world now, it is good to meet a good master.
"Okay, no problem, as long as you decide to sign the death deed, endure hardships and hardships with me, I will take care of all the things that men marry wives, and I will accompany all the dowries when they get married."
As soon as Zhong Xiaohua said this, most people changed their minds.
At the same time, she felt that the burden on her shoulders was heavy, and these people were her responsibility, her family, and her ......
Zhong Xiaohua rented some carriages and took them to Zhuangzi with them and their respective luggage.
In this era, there are no cars, no machines, everything depends on manpower, there is no fertilizer, just like now, there is a little dung in the Zhuangzi, and you have to carry a burden to the field.
She divided the people into Zhuangzi first, found out the village chief of the original village, and asked him to arrange it.
"You say, what is suitable for planting in our field now? Where do I buy these seeds? ”
The village chief then found Zhong Xiaohua and asked for advice.
After all, it was the first year that Zhuangzi sold it to Zhong Xiaohua, so at least he had to listen to the orders of the master's family.
"I think the cotton market is good, and the climate here is suitable for growing cotton."
In the interval between everyone's rest, Zhong Xiaohua came to sit down in front of the elderly tenants, she still didn't know what to plant in the field? She wanted to hear everyone's opinions.
"Cotton?"
The village chief looked at Zhong Xiaohua in surprise, with a blank expression.
"Oh, Bai Stack, you know? I'll go find out if there's a seed, let's plant it!" ”
Zhong Xiaohua said with a smile.
She had found out that it was not normal before, and everyone used kapok in their clothes instead of cotton, which was not very effective in keeping warm.
But the village chief frowned.
"Bai Diezi, isn't that thing only for nobles to see? But I really haven't seen anyone selling white stack seeds. ”
What the?
Zhong Xiaohua looked confused.
Didn't sell?
"Forget it, why don't you suggest to the village chief, what should be planted on so much land in Zhuangzi now?"
"I think food is also scarce now, and now there are wars at the border for many years, which makes the people miserable, and I don't think that kind of ornamental thing will work, and it's not bad for us to grow wheat here."
Everyone expressed their opinions and expressed their opinions, Zhong Xiaohua was listening silently, secretly thinking in her heart.
