Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Old Lady Who Buys Fruit
Li Xiuniang and Zhang Yan played in Kapok's house for an afternoon before leaving to go back, otherwise the two men in the family came back from a day's work, and it is estimated that they will not have to eat dinner, and Kapok is not easy to keep, after sending the two away, and Li Xiufeng was busy eating dinner, although the family bought the next person, but there is no difference between master and servant on weekdays, after eating, everyone sat on the pavilion on the top floor and chatted about homely things and rested.
These days, the fruit trees in the space have also borne fruit, and those people who bought the fruits of the Kapok family in the town last year have already placed orders, and tomorrow Kapok is going to pick the fruits of the space and sell them secretly without Li Xiufeng, and then go to the town to buy a shop, this batch of fruits is sold, and then the fruits will be hoarded and sold together when the fruits in the yard bear fruit.
The next day, Kapok got up early and went into the space and the little fox was busy, the little fox cultivated this fruit-picking kung fu to a higher level, three or two times all the picking, by the way to the space spare large frame, get these, Kapok and the little fox out of the space downstairs for breakfast.
"Woke up so early, huh? And I said I'll call you later! I let Da Zhuang and Huang Hai eat first, they still have some work for a while, take advantage of the sun to finish their work, good afternoon rest," Li Xiufeng said while serving breakfast.
"Well, Godmother has worked hard, I get up so early every day to prepare breakfast for us, I will go to the town to see the shop after I finish eating, and when the harvest here is good, it will be put on the shop to sell" Kapok sat down on the table after washing, and the little fox was already drooling and eating, which could not be said to be a human and had to taste quietly.
"It costs a lot of money to buy a shop, right? Do you have enough money there? Godmother has a lot of silver saved over the years! You can take it and buy a shop! Li Xiufeng said that he was about to go upstairs to get the silver he had deposited before, and Kapok hurriedly stopped Li Xiufeng.
"Godmother, what are you doing? A few days ago, there were a lot of useless rewards from the yamen! Silver money, these godmothers don't have to bother, your daughter will earn" Kapok doesn't want to use Li Xiufeng's hard-earned money, she can buy whatever she wants, and on weekdays, Kapok will also give some household and pocket flowers every month, but every time she is afraid that Li Xiufeng will think too much, so Kapok will not casually store Li Xiufeng's silver.
"Okay then! At that moment, you will go to the town and ask your godmother to let Huang Hai get out of the car for you? It's not too safe for you to go to your godmother alone" Li Xiufeng is afraid that Kapok will suffer a loss when he goes to the town to buy a shop, Huang Hai has worked with a big family before, and he should have seen a lot in the world, so he recommends Huang Hai.
"Godmother, no need, I'll find Brother An to accompany me to see the shop when the time comes, and I can do it myself by catching the car" Kapok naturally knew what Li Xiufeng was worried about, but she brought the Yellow Sea to expose her secret, so she pulled An Sheng as a shield, but after selling the fruit, Kapok will indeed go to An Sheng to help with the matter of buying a shop, after all, An Sheng knows a lot of people in the town, many people are willing to sell him face, and he must be able to buy a shop at a reasonable price.
"That's okay, I'll be relieved that he's with you."
After eating, Kapok cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and then took the little fox to drive the carriage out, and Li Xiufeng took the embroidery work to Li Qingming's house, and found his wife to do embroidery work and chat about family life.
On the way, Kapok got the fruit out of the space, because the space of the carriage could not hold all the fruits, Kapok had to get out of part of it first, and first went to the old customer's house that often looked for Kapok to buy fruit before, that is, last year he always patronized the fruit stall, his old lady especially liked the fruit of Kapok, because after eating the fruit of Kapok's body, it seems to be getting better and better, and it is already over seventy years old, and this strength does seem to be only fifty years old, and the old lady will go out to visit relatives and friends will be a little on the fruit bought here in Kapok, I also pulled several orders of business for kapok, and the old lady also had a lot of them every time*, and the kapok didn't sell fruit for a while last winter, for fear of arousing suspicion, so the old lady had already ordered the first batch of fruits this year in advance, and some big families in the town also placed orders early.
Kapok drove the carriage to the back door of the old lady's mansion, knocked on the door and told the intention of coming, and greeted the little girl from previous years.
"Girl, but here, how much fruit did you bring this time? My old lady kept talking about it! The little guy greeted Kapok warmly.
"There are not too many fruits brought this time, there are not many fruits produced in early spring, too much you should buy them back, but this plum, nectarines are not afraid of being bad, but they are not fresh after a long time, there are many people in the year before last, I am afraid that it is not enough to divide" Kapok This time the fruit is actually quite a lot, but in order to make others feel that this fruit is precious, so deliberately said that there is not much, and it will not be fresh after a long time.
"The girl's fruit is really good, I'm afraid that the girl's family is the only one in the town, why don't you open a shop? When the time comes, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to find you when I buy fruits" The little guy asked curiously while letting people weigh the fruits, in fact, it was also for his own convenience, the year before last, Kapok said that the fruit would not be sold until the beginning of spring, and the little guy hurriedly pre-ordered in advance, otherwise he didn't know where to find Kapok, after all, Kapok no one sold fruit at a point for a long time.
"Hehe, second praise, the year before last just started, this fruit production can't keep up with the fear of losing money when I buy a shop, this year down is not worried about sales, today I plan to sell the fruit to buy a shop! I'll let you know when the next batch of fruits is ripe," Kapok said in a panic, now that he has an orchard, the fruits can be sold openly in the future.
"Okay, the girl must inform me then! My old lady is just like this," the little guy laughed.
After weighing the fruit, the little maid asked Kapok to go in with him to get the money, and the old lady had long wanted to see Kapok, and she wanted to see what this person who could serve the fruit so well looked like.
Kapok followed the little guy like a maze to the old lady's garden, Kapok went into the garden and looked around, the garden was full of flowers and plants, and there was a lotus pond, a lot of goldfish in the lotus pond swam around, and there were a few people in the lotus pond pavilion who were feeding the fish food with laughter.
I only heard a wonderful crisp male voice "Grandma, you see this fish is so greedy, spit and swim over to eat it, it's so stupid" and then another smooth old female voice came, "This fish has to be raised like this, just throw the fish food over, otherwise what's the fun"
Kapok followed the little guy closer and closer, and slowly the figure became clear, it was a young man about the same age as Kapok and a kind old man, presumably the old lady in the mouth of the little guy, this young man was his grandson.
"Old lady, young master, people have been brought," the little maid said respectfully, and Kapok followed with a polite salute.
"The old lady is good, the young master is good" Kapok saluted.
"Well, you're the one who sells fruit? It doesn't look like it! The old lady asked in surprise, in her imagination, Kapok must be a middle-aged woman, because she really couldn't imagine that the person who could serve the fruit so well was a little girl, and the young man on the side looked at it suspiciously, and he didn't believe it.
"Hehe, it's me who sells fruits, it's not about age" Kapok guessed what the two were thinking.
Then he said, "The peasant girl often works, and she knows how to serve the crops and fruit trees," Kapok lied without a heart, but in fact, all the credit lies in the space and the spiritual spring.
