073 You don't have a choice
Shopkeeper Wan obviously didn't think there was anything important about these news, Sheng Qingqing asked, and he replied casually.
"The young master of the Cheng family is indeed bad and good, but this does not affect his rich family property. Those family wealth, maybe some people will never see it in their lifetime, in this case, do you think those people will rush to it? β
"But ......" Sheng Qingqing wanted to speak and stopped, hesitated for a moment before saying: "But if it is bad and bad, wouldn't it be impossible to have children?" "What's the difference between this and a eunuch?
Shopkeeper Wan glanced at her with a strange expression, and said with the corners of his mouth: "What do you little girl know." β
Sheng Qingqing rolled her eyes fiercely in her heart. As for the little girl, the physiological knowledge education she has received in modern times is difficult for even those prodigals who linger in the flowers all year round.
However, Shopkeeper Wan didn't know, he changed the topic and continued: "Not to mention the problem of bad behavior and behavior, as far as you said, the person who entered the Cheng family will not live for two months, which is a fallacy. If this is the case, wouldn't the Cheng family be a haunted house now? β
Sheng Qingqing was silent, she also felt a little unreasonable before.
"The Cheng family has a very large background, and the rules in the house are naturally strict, and those who disappear are nothing more than subordinates who have signed a death contract and made mistakes. I'm afraid that it will be sold to other places, so those villagers who don't know will think that they have not survived. β
Shopkeeper Wan touched his beard and said with a smile: "Anyway, the Cheng family is not as dire as outsiders think. But it has nothing to do with you, you little girl. β
Sheng Qingqing was noncommittal. She has already said it, it seems that Shopkeeper Wan does not believe in her relationship with the Cheng family. That's fine, she didn't plan to have anything to do with the Cheng family, it was just a joke just now, she wanted to scare the shopkeeper.
"Haha, I'm just curious." Sheng Qingqing snorted, and said seriously: "Let's get down to business." β
Shopkeeper Wan straightened his expression and said, "My plan is that our side will regularly hand over some untreated spices to you, and your job is also very simple, as long as these spices are processed for the second time." The requirements are not particularly high either......"
As he spoke, he pointed to the chili powder in the white jade box and said, "It's about as fine as this powder." β
It's not really a difficult fellow.
Sheng Qingqing touched her chin and thought about it.
If Shopkeeper Wan really does what he said, he has no bad intentions and really wants to do this business, then as long as Sheng Qingqing agrees, it will definitely be beneficial and harmless.
As long as you stay at home, you can easily earn money. You don't have to go out and show your face, and you don't have to worry about making money like this today, but being robbed halfway. It's really safe and secure.
But this is not without its problems......
"Shopkeeper Wan, I'll just say it directly, I don't know how much money you can give me in this business? Moreover...... How can you be sure that you won't unilaterally tear up the deed? β
If the shopkeeper wants to pinch them to death, it is no different from pinching an ant to death. Shopkeeper Wan was not worried that she would be deceived, but now, Sheng Qingqing was worried that she would be deceived.
If the shopkeeper is deceived, he will lose a little money at most. And Sheng Qingqing was deceived, I am afraid that she will not even be able to save her life.
Sheng Qingqing doesn't believe that there will really be people in this world who are really not interested in her secrets!
Not to mention the others, the grinding technology is far beyond this era.
"Miss Sheng, it seems that you still don't understand." Shopkeeper Wan pulled the small piece of meat at the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Actually, you don't have too many choices." Today you have entered this house, and there are only two possibilities to get out. One is to go out in a dignified manner, and the other is to be escorted out by officials on trumped-up charges such as theft and robbery. β
Sheng Qingqing was silent.
At this moment, she finally understood what the idea of Shopkeeper Wan was. And before, she took herself too seriously.
Indeed, she only had two options.
Either agree to cooperate with the shopkeeper Wan, or be framed and go to prison.
Sheng Qingqing is very convinced that with the ability of the shopkeeper, there is definitely a way to collude with the county master and easily frame a few charges with her.
You must not go to prison, if it is just her, then she can still struggle. But Kong Gaoming and Second Uncle Niu were still waiting outside the store, and if she resisted, there would be no reason for Shopkeeper Wan to let the two of them go. And at home, Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming are still waiting......
So, all along, there was only one way for her to go.
Sheng Qingqing sighed lowly.
"Okay, I promised to do this business with Shopkeeper Wan. It's just ......" Sheng Qingqing raised her head, stared straight at the shopkeeper Wan, and said seriously: "I hope you are really a good person as you say." β
Shopkeeper Wan didn't have any expression on his face, and he just nodded when he heard this.
"Don't worry, although I am not a gentleman, what I say should never be changed."
He paused, and then said: "Miss Sheng, you should be glad to have met me, if it is those who are really treacherous and insatiable, you are afraid that you will not even have a chance to speak." And when you make a deal with me, you have a layer of protection. Miss Sheng shouldn't be naΓ―ve enough to think that her actions won't be discovered, right? β
Sheng Qingqing shook her head and smiled bitterly.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, of course she knew that her strange things would be discovered, but she didn't expect to be discovered so quickly.
Should I say that Shopkeeper Wan is sensitive, or is she too hasty and imprudent?
β¦β¦
"Brother, why hasn't this girl come out yet?" Kong Gaoming couldn't help but ask.
They had been waiting outside the store for almost an hour, and they hadn't seen Sheng Qingqing come out, so they were really anxious.
The spice shop is located on the west street of the town, and the street on this side sells more valuable things, so the pedestrians are still much rarer than those on the east street.
But even if there were only one or two people, when they passed by, they couldn't help but stare at Kong Gaoming and Second Uncle Niu for a while.
It's just that they're too eye-catching right now.
In such a noble place as a spice shop, people come and go all over Qiluo on weekdays, and people who hug each other before and after, how can there be a farmer like Kong Gaoming and Second Uncle Niu, sitting dryly on the ox cart and dressed in coarse linen?
They weren't passing by, and had been waiting at the door for almost an hour. And the two janitors who used to have eyes on the top of their heads didn't chase them.
It's such a magical scene, how can people endure it and not take a few more looks?
Second Uncle Niu was also a little anxious to wait, he didn't understand what Sheng Qingqing was doing when he went in. In fact, he still didn't understand what the shopkeeper of this spice shop would do if he found a little girl like Sheng Qingqing.
Could it be that the last time I came to town, I caused trouble?
Thinking of this, Second Uncle Niu couldn't help but take a puff of dry smoke.
"No, although the girl has an idea, she is very measured, and she won't cause trouble."
Kong Gaoming didn't know why, he was still a foreigner, and it was the first time he even came to this town.
"Wait a little longer." Second Uncle Niu sighed.
Kong Gaoming scratched his head, he was actually a little anxious, after all, the job had not been found yet. If there is no more money to enter, I am afraid that I will go hungry next.
As an honest farmer, how could Kong Gaoming hide his emotions. Second Uncle Niu could see his anxiety almost at a glance.
Second Uncle Niu just wanted to speak, but saw that the closed door of the store was suddenly opened from the inside out. And in the open doorway, there stood a small, thin figure.
"Girl!" Second Uncle Niu was so surprised that he forgot the words that came to his mouth, and hurriedly got out of the ox cart to meet him, "Nothing happened, right?" β
Sheng Qingqing bent the corners of her mouth, shook her head and said, "It's okay, Shopkeeper Wan just wants to talk to me about business." β
"Talking about business?" Second Uncle Niu was surprised.
Sheng Qingqing nodded, but did not mean to continue, only said: "The matter has been discussed, specifically, let's go back and talk slowly." β
Looking at the eyes around him who kept looking this way, Second Uncle Niu immediately understood, nodded and said, "Okay, it's not too early, let's go back first." Otherwise, your second aunt and Zhizhi's girl will have to wait in a hurry. β
Sheng Qingqing climbed into the ox cart neatly, and the strong man who brought them before really didn't stop him. Second Uncle Niu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, he waved his whip, and the ox pulling the cart was about to move forward.
"Wait, dude!"
Startled by this shout, Second Uncle Niu subconsciously tightened the reins, and only after a moment did he react that it was Kong Gaoming who was speaking.
"Brother Kong, what's the matter?"
The two waited outside the store for most of the hour, and they were really bored, and they chatted a lot, not to mention how close they were, but the two sides were at least called "brother" and "brother".
"Brother, I have to get out of the car." Kong Gaoming scratched his head, a little embarrassed, but still said, "I have to find a job." β
Second Uncle Niu knew that when he was talking before, he had already had a general understanding of Kong Gaoming's current situation, and knew that this person urgently needed to find a job to do, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to support himself.
It is not difficult for a man in the prime of life to find a job, but it is difficult to find a good job with food and accommodation. And now look at the sky, it's almost dusk, and even if you find a job at this time, I'm afraid there will be no place to sleep at night.
Kong Gaoming's current residence is far away from the town.
Thinking of this, Second Uncle Niu was a little embarrassed.
"Otherwise, Uncle Kong will do the work for me, right?"
Kong Gaoming and Second Uncle Niu were stunned, Second Uncle Niu was fine, but Kong Gaoming waved his hand again and again.
"How is this possible?"
A little girl, who may not even be able to support her younger siblings, has the money to hire someone to do the work. And in the case of the Sheng family, there is still work that needs to be done by others?
Kong Gaoming thought like this, and felt that what he refused just now was too simple, and it seemed to be a bit utilitarian, so he hurriedly added: "If you have any difficulties, just say it, and Uncle will definitely do it for you." β
Sheng Qingqing hooked her lips, "I really need help from others, even if it's not you, it's someone else." If Uncle Kong doesn't believe it, why don't you go back with me, and I'll talk to you about it. β
