(178) Keep a hand

Zhang Qingting returned home from the racecourse. But I saw that Aunt Niu happened to come over, and I heard that she had bought a horse farm, and I was very happy for her. She didn't need to open her mouth, she just asked, "Do you want food?" Don't worry, your aunt can tell you how much she buys, but when she sells it to you, she will also have to add a little interest. If you see fit, we'll make the deal. You must have a short amount of money on hand now, right? There are many mistakes, and there are many words that can be delayed, and I will pay me back when you collect all the rent. Now in the spring, if you want to collect grain outside, I am afraid you will not be able to receive it. When the autumn comes, my business here will also be done, and I can help you collect grain at the same time, and you can save more without me! ”

"Then there's Aunt Law!" Zhang Qingting is very grateful, what she is most worried about now is that she does not have enough cash in her hand, even if Aunt Niu adds more interest, she is so righteous to her, and she is willing to let her pay later. Immediately tell her all kinds of beans and rice that she needs.

Aunt Niu asked her to take a pen and copy another copy and put it in her sleeve. "When I go back, I'll bring the food over immediately, and I'll send it to you as well!"

Her new shop, Zhao Yulian, has already helped to clean up the dots, but there are still some miscellaneous things to prepare, and Zhang Qingting is even more complicated, and he doesn't know how many bits and pieces to add.

Ben said that she had asked her to go out together, but Aunt Niu shook her head with a smile, "The things we want are different, the two of us go out, you delay my work, and I also delay yours, it's better to go their separate ways, it's cheaper!" ”

Zhang Qingting was not polite anymore, and took Fang Mingzhu and Zhang Xiaodie out to buy supplies, and now they are running back and forth all day long, and it is really not good to have a carriage, so they have to charter a big car to follow her first.

Ben said that he wanted Zhao Chengcai to come and help, but Zhang Xiaodie said, "My brother-in-law went to the school in the morning and didn't come back for a day." I sent it to Yulian and I for lunch, and there were a lot of people there, so busy! ”

Zhang Qingting really thinks that people hate less when they use it! Especially Xiang Xiucai is so down-to-earth and willing to work, he feels that the burden on his body is heavier without him, and he has been running around all afternoon, so he finally bought something.

When they went home, Zhao Yulan and Zhang Luo had already cooked dinner, and they had experience today. I made a lot of steamed buns and other good-to-send and delicious things, and the quantity was enough, so I didn't have to rush there so early tomorrow morning.

Zhao Yulan also specially prepared a small bag of rice, "Since the stoves are ready-made, it is very convenient for them to boil some porridge by themselves." ”

Zhang Qingting had worked hard all day, his feet were so tired that he just sat down to drink tea, he really didn't want to move, but who would deliver this meal? I had to hurry to catch my breath, and then I had to hurriedly follow the car again.

was about to go out, but saw that Zhao Chengcai was finally busy coming back, "You rest!" I'll deliver food, and we'll get down to business when we get back in a minute. ”

"That's hard work for you! Tell Ali that the food has been entrusted to his aunt, and it will be there in a few days, so let him eat those horses first! There were carrots and eggs in the car, so I made do with them for a few days, and then I bought them when I was gone. After Zhang Qingting finished explaining, he sat down and was lazy again honestly and unceremoniously.

Instead, Zhang Xiaodie brought a cup of tea, "The eldest sister is really true." Didn't you work hard to see your brother-in-law? Don't even pour a cup of tea! ”

Zhang Qingting was a little embarrassed, and Zhao Chengcai took the tea and thanked him, "Don't blame your sister, Fluttershy, we just help out, how much worry does she have to worry about?" Let her rest for a while! ”

He raised his feet and was about to leave, when Aunt Niu happened to come back too, "Chengcai and so on!" I'll go with you to see your horse farm, too! ”

Zhao Chengcai saw that the food on the table was all laid out, "Auntie, let's eat first, and it will be the same if you go tomorrow!" ”

Aunt Niu said, "Can't you eat this meal?" Why don't you give me two buns on the way! Ming'er has Ming'er's business again. ”

Seeing that she was going, Niu Dewang also made a fuss, "I'm going to see Malaysia too!" ”

Yinbao ingots also coaxed, "Brother-in-law! Take us there! ”

Zhang Xiaodie hurriedly said, "And me!" ”

Zhang Qingting glared at her, "This is a car, and there are so many goods in tow!" How old are you? Join in the fun, too! ”

Zhang Xiaodie pouted and said, "I'll go to my brother-in-law!" ”

Zhao Chengcai laughed and asked the coachman, "Can you sit down?" ”

The coachman smiled, "Get me two buns too, and you'll be able to sit down!" ”

Everyone laughed, and Zhao Chengcai said, "Then just pretend to have more food!" We used to eat the same! ”

The girls hurriedly started to fill a large portion of food and put it in the car.

Zhang Qingting also remembered something, "I've been busy today, so we went to your house early in the morning to deliver a meal, and I don't know if your mother is done?" You might as well go around and take a look! ”

Seeing that she cared about her mother-in-law, Zhao Chengcai was very happy. smiled and led the group out of the door.

In the end, Zhang Xiaodie was still dragged by Zhang Qingting, failed to squeeze into the car, and came back to eat unhappy.

Zhang Qingting glanced at her, "Trouble? I'll have some serious business for you to do when I get back! Are you afraid that you won't be there in the future? If you want to go again, I'll leave you there to cook and do laundry, and smoke you to death! ”

Zhang Facai said with a smile, "Your sister must have something to do with arranging for you, anyway, the horse farm is ours, are you in a hurry?" ”

Zhang Xiaodie was silent.

After eating, Zhang Qingting really wanted to take Zhang Xiaodie out, but saw Fang Mingzhu come over to invite her with a smile, "Grandpa is invited!" ”

Zhang Qingting smiled and put up the shelf, "Then ask him to wait a little longer, and I'll come back after a few words in front of me." ”

Fang Mingzhu didn't follow, and took her hand on the other side, "Then I have to follow, what if you run away?" She turned her head and shouted loudly into the house, "Grandpa, I'll go out with my eldest sister for a while, and I'll be back soon!" ”

"Got it! Go ahead! ”

Zhang Qingting was hung out by the two girls left and right, which made her angry and funny, "I'm the queen mother on patrol or what?" You two hang on me. Am I tired? Let it all go and walk well! ”

The two girls squeezed their eyes at each other, and simply leaned their heads on her shoulders, "Don't be tired!" Not tired at all! ”

Zhang Qingting couldn't, so he had to drag these two naughty girls to the door of the He family at the mouth of the alley, "Okay, okay!" It's all at the door of someone's house, pay attention to your demeanor! ”

The two girls finally let go and stood behind her and pretended to be a girl.

stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the little maid came out to answer the door, and when he saw her, he smiled and said, "Mrs. Zhao." Neither of us is here, is there something wrong? ”

Zhang Qingting said with a pleasant face, "I know that they don't stay here at night, I just want to trouble you to wait for Uncle He to come and say, I have something I want to ask him for advice." This is over the Dragon Boat Festival, no matter which afternoon you are free, please come over and send a message, okay? ”

The little maid hurriedly responded, "Tomorrow's holiday, maybe the uncle will also come to the market to play, and I will tell you when the time comes." ”

Zhang Qingting nodded and thanked him, and went back with the two sisters.

Even Zhang Xiaodie guessed this, "Sister, you want to ask Uncle He how to raise horses, right?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.

Zhang Qingting said, "We really don't understand a lot at the beginning, if people are willing to teach, we can save a lot of heart!" ”

Zhang Xiaodie suddenly smiled, "Then you don't have to bring us, just bring Yulian!" Even if the uncle of the He family refuses to teach, the second master must be willing! ”

Zhang Qingting's face sank, "Why do you say such nonsense again?" This aunt has just arrived, and she doesn't know how to check when she speaks! ”

Zhang Xiaodie was speechless and didn't dare to say anything.

Zhang Qingting saw that there was no one around, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Then what's wrong with Second Master He?" ”

Zhang Xiaodie whispered back, "Actually, no, didn't you go to work yesterday?" Let Yulian and I look at the courtyard in the back. Just let the second master of the He family see it, and specially bought some candied fruit and sent it, wanting to give it to Yulian, but we didn't ask for it. ”

It's not a big deal, Zhang Qingting put his mind at ease. However, the next time I see He Yutang, I have to talk to him, so as not to make He Yufeng vain and happy.

She suddenly thought of Xue Zi'an again, and felt a little uneasy in her heart, "Then have you seen an unknown person nearby in the past few days?" ”

Belch...... Neither Zhang Xiaodie nor Fang Mingzhu could answer. "What, what's wrong?"

"It's fine, just asking." Zhang Qingting covered the topic, Zhao Yulian acted very cautiously, maybe Xue Zi'an would stop if he couldn't find a chance, right? There are many words without mistakes, and she hopes so in her heart.

When he arrived at Fang's house, Fang Dehai had already made a pot of tea, and waited for a while, "I know that you girl pays attention to this, Mingzhu, pour tea for your eldest sister!" Close the door again. ”

Zhang Qingting said with a smile, "Don't be so polite, you old man, I am afraid in my heart when you are polite, as if I have done something wrong again!" It's better to be easy-going. ”

Fang Dehai also smiled, and waited for Fang Mingzhu to serve tea before saying, "You really did something wrong!" It's about the horse farm. ”

Zhang Qingting wondered, what was wrong?

Fang Dehai smiled a little, "I have seen the contract of this horse farm, you are still in the name of Mingzhulian." But this brother also has to settle accounts, and we have to agree on a ratio. ”

Zhang Qingting was puzzled, "The money that our two families paid together, of course, is five or five?" ”

Fang Dehai shook his head with a smile, "Five-five can't do it!" At least three seven. Don't get me wrong, it's me three, you seven. ”

"Why is that?" Zhang Qingting was very puzzled.

Fang Mingzhu said with a smile, "This is what you said, to be a person and do things, you can't get cheap and sell well!" ”

Fang Dehai said, "That's exactly what you said!" Girl, speaking of which, we have stained you a lot of light by building this alley, although the principal is from the two of us, but if there is no material from your family, this alley is still a rotten land! ”

"That's not a building......"

Fang Dehai shook his head and interrupted her, "Even if that, it should be paid off with this alley." As for this horse farm, we're really embarrassed to keep an old face with you. If you want to talk about this horse farm, it is still the credit of your family's success, if it weren't for his relationship, Master Chen would have thought of us? How much did we spend in total, for such a big horse farm, Mingzhu and I contributed? It's not out! But to accept such a large gift for no reason, it sounds good to say that I am old and confused, Mingzhu is young and ignorant, and it is not good to say, that is, our grandparents and grandchildren are taking advantage of you! ”

"But ......" Zhang Qingting was about to say, but Fang Dehai waved his hand to stop it, and continued,

"Don't say anything else about that horse farm, those horses in that pasture alone can be worth at least three thousand taels of silver! What about us, even if you add the small yard sent out, it will only be less than 1,000 taels at most, and it is already very cheeky to ask for 30% of the shares of this horse farm, if you really count it, you just give me 20%, even if it is 10%, or put aside us, you do it alone, no one has a second word. But why do I still have to ask you for 30% with an old face? It's not for me, it's for the pearl. This child has no father or mother, I, who is a grandfather, have never seen her before, so I want to leave her more money, and when she leaves the cabinet in the future, she will not dare to underestimate her when she has something in her hand. Can you understand my old man's heart? ”

Zhang Qingting nodded cautiously.

Fang Dehai said, "I won't ask you for nothing in these three shares, Mingzhu is writing those formulas for me, and then it will become a book, you have a share, she has a share, I will never hide it!" And the most important thing is my recipe for brine barbecue. I'm not afraid to tell you honestly, what Chengdong leaked out last time was indeed a real formula, but it was not my best formula! You girl has a bad mouth, you have eaten ten miles of incense in my recipe before, and that recipe is really the secret recipe of the palace! There are many rare spices in it, how can they be compared with these things in the market? ”

Zhang Qingting suddenly realized when he heard this, "I'll just say how can your old man forgive Chengdong so easily, and he still hides his hand when he dares to be affectionate!" ”

Fang Dehai sneered, "I really didn't trust you at that time, I changed all those seasonings, otherwise you think that with your price of ten taels of silver a month, you can please move my old man?" What a joke! I've served the emperor, and if I come to your little broken shop to come up with a real formula, then it's really a self-depreciation! ”

Zhang Qingting covered his mouth and smiled, "That's it, I don't have the emperor's life, so you should pass on the recipe to Mingzhu!" ”

Fang Dehai shook his head, "No! You must accept it, if you don't accept it, you don't really want to take care of the pearl. In the future, if we make a lot of money, we will reopen Juewei Zhai! It's not a brine shop, it's a restaurant that is even more high-end than Fuxing Building, that's the real authentic imperial enjoyment! ”

Zhang Qingting secretly admired in his heart, this old man can really toss!

Fang Dehai said again, "Girl, I gave you this thing, and there is another meaning, I want to leave something for yourself in your hand." ”

Zhang Qingting was slightly stunned, and after thinking for a while, she understood, "You mean ......"

Fang Dehai nodded, "Your family is completely up to you, so there's nothing to worry about." is a good person. But Chengcai's family, and even said later, those people in the Zhao clan looked back at the matter of returning to Yulan, and my old man couldn't believe it. Girl, don't look at the money you make now, it seems that there is no trouble, but if you really have a lot of money, it will be very different. We don't live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but there are some things that have to be guarded against! ”

(PS: Yesterday was the winter solstice, and I forgot to eat dumplings!) But tomorrow is Christmas Eve, I still remember, this is really the west wind overwhelming the east wind! Ha ha! Two more quickly delivered! )
