Chapter 323: False alarm
This person may have been in too much of a hurry, and when he came to Zhang Xiaoxue and the others, he couldn't speak, he kept snorting and panting, and stretched out a hand to the three of them, making a state of blocking.
"That'...... Don't hurry up, I want to ask, are you the same seller who sold the big peaches just now?"
As he spoke, the man looked at the ox cart in Zhang Xiaoxue's house, and when he saw that the ox cart was empty, his face was full of disappointment.
"This brother, we sold the peaches just now, and we just sold them out, do you have something to do here?"
When Father Zhang heard this person's inquiry, he didn't care, so he told the truth.
"Hey, I knew I would have gone out early, I saw someone carrying two baskets of peaches at the intersection in front, the peaches in the basket were big and beautiful, I quickly asked, and said that you sold them here, and she came to buy them for the second time.
I thought about coming over and buying more, tomorrow the old lady in our house will have a 60-year-old birthday, I thought that if there are still such peaches, I will buy more and treat them to the guests at the birthday banquet, the guests will eat well, and our house will have face.
I would like to ask, do you still have these peaches at home? If so, I will order more from you, if you don't have 100 baskets, at least 60 baskets of peaches. ”
After this man finished speaking, he looked at Zhang's father and the three of them, and wanted to hear the answer that made him happy, he thought that this kind of peach as beautiful as a fairy peach would not be able to make enough face for the house if it was placed in the birthday banquet.
Besides, the old lady in the mansion will definitely be very satisfied when she sees this kind of peach like a longevity peach in a painting appear on her 60th birthday banquet.
Hearing that this person ordered 100 baskets of such peaches at a time, but it was 20 taels of silver, Zhang Xiaoxue was naturally unwilling to give up this deal, so she nodded to Zhang's father, which meant that she still had a lot of peaches in her hand, so that Zhang's father agreed to this person's order.
"We have some peaches at home, enough for the 100 baskets you want, but we have to go home to get them, I wonder if this brother can wait a while? ”
This person finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Zhang's father say that they still have it at home, isn't it just a matter of waiting for a while, no problem, he still has this time.
"Okay, then you can go back and get the peaches quickly, I'll wait for you here, I don't know how long it will take to get back?"
The man still asked uneasily, how long would it take for Father Zhang and them to deliver the peaches he wanted to buy.
Father Zhang thought about it, and as soon as they came back and forth, it would take about the time, and then replied, "This brother doesn't have to wait too long, we will be back in about two quarters of an hour." ”
"Oh, then I know, I'm not going anywhere, I'm just waiting for you here in the teahouse. ”
The man was even more pleased to hear that he would be back in only two quarters of an hour, and thinking of this time, he went to the teahouse to listen to the storytelling.
Zhang Xiaoxue and the three of them didn't waste time, they drove the ox cart to the outside of the city, and after taking out 100 peaches, they hurried back.
"Haha! Your home is not far away, and the speed of coming back is fast enough, I know that the basket of peaches you sell is 200 yuan, and these 100 baskets are exactly 20 taels of silver. ”
The man had already taken out 20 taels of silver from the money bag, and handed it to Zhang's father as he spoke.
"Give you the silver, we have paid off the money and goods, but I bought so many peaches at one time, and I can't take them alone, so I have to trouble you to help send them to the house." ”
Zhang Xiaoxue and Yuan Guang were a little uncomfortable when they heard that they were asking for home delivery again, thinking of the unpleasant experience in the town.
However, this person is not the same as the housekeeper last time, and he directly settled the silver and the two directly, and it was not the same person, so neither Zhang Xiaoxue nor Yuan Guang said anything to stop Zhang's father from helping him deliver peaches.
This person's house is really not far away as he said, basically in the center of the county, and it is only a ten-minute walk.
The man also led them to a corner gate in the house, so that the ox cart stopped, but he saw this man walk two steps quickly, knocked on the corner door and gave orders to the people inside, and after a while, a small group of officers came out of it.
Because their group did not walk through the gate, Zhang Xiaoxue and they didn't know that this turned out to be the mansion of the county lord of Huayuan, but seeing the official errand of this team, Zhang Xiaoxue also had a little guess in his heart.
The man who bought the peaches called out the small team of officials and asked them to help get peaches from the house, and due to the large number of people, it didn't take a few trips to move the 100 baskets of peaches on the car to the house.
"Huh, Brother Liu, look at that girl, isn't that Xueshan County Lord in Zhangjia Village?"
One of the officials, and the other one beside him, said in an ear-to-ear manner.
"That's right, it's indeed the county lord of Xueshan, let's go over and say hello to her, after all, we've met her, if we pretend not to know her, it's really unreasonable. ”
"Oh! Okay. ”
There were two officials, who came straight to Zhang Xiaoxue, and startled Zhang's father and Yuan Guang when they saw it, they have always been people who don't fight with officials, and Zhang's father, who is an ordinary farmer, has always had a fear of officials.
They didn't know what was going on, these two officials actually came to Xue'er, although they were faintly worried in their hearts, they felt that nothing big would happen.
They thought that Xue'er was also the county lord of Xueshan, even if the county lord of Huayuan wanted to find trouble with his daughter, they had to weigh it.
"Little Liu Dayi, I have seen the county lord of Xueshan. ”
"The little Wang Quanquan has seen the county lord of Xueshan. ”
When Father Zhang and Yuan Guang saw these two officials, they were so polite to their daughter Zhang Xiaoxue, and the little worry in their hearts was also put down.
"Hehe, it turned out to be the two eldest brothers, what a coincidence, are the two eldest brothers on an errand today?
Zhang Xiaoxue was stunned at first when she saw the two officials who came straight to her, she thought that there was trouble coming to the door, but fortunately, it was just a false alarm.
When the two officials approached, Zhang Xiaoxue recognized these two people, and it turned out to be the two officials who sent him the letter of appointment of the county lord.
"The two of us are indeed on an errand today, and this is the mansion of the county lord of Huayuan, and we recognize that it is the county lord of Xueshan who came over, so we came over to say hello to you. ”
The official named Liu Dayi spoke first and told the purpose of the two of them coming.
