"This little eldest sister, if there is still this wicker basket at home, it is better to do a long-term business with Qian, and send it here when you have a basket in the future, do you think it is good?" Seeing Cui'er neatly take the money and leave, without dragging her feet at all, the money shopkeeper suddenly felt that it seemed to be a good thing if there was such a personal supply.
"Oh? What does the money shopkeeper mean is that we sign a long-term supply agreement? Cui'er turned around and looked at the money shopkeeper.
"Exactly!" The money shopkeeper nodded in response, but in his heart, he glanced at Cui'er again, the long-term supply agreement, such a word, if it wasn't for the high-ranking family who came out and did business, where would he say it?
"It's good!" Cui'er nodded in response.
"Haven't asked Madame what to call her?" The money shopkeeper looked at Cui'er's appearance, and there was a little respect in his heart.
"The husband's surname is Lian, and the single name is a Cui character, and the money shopkeeper can call me Lian Cui's family, or Cui Niangzi." Cui'er thought about it, she is an impostor now, if she is found out one day, it will not be good, it is better to report her name.
"Okay, Cui Niangzi, then I'll ask Cui Niangzi to bother more in the future." The money shopkeeper said to Cui'er.
"I still rely on the money shopkeeper to take care of it!" Cui'er also returned the salute.
"Dare to ask, how much does this wicker basket money shopkeeper need?" Cui'er was still worried about her own livelihood, and after a few words of greeting, she went straight to the topic.
"Twenty or thirty a month is enough, and if necessary, I will increase the order."
"In that case, let's sign an agreement, I'll send twenty wicker baskets a month, this price?" Cui'er didn't say that the order was bigger, firstly, Lian Qingshan's body was not good, and he was afraid that he would be tired.
"The price is according to today's, fifteen wen apiece, pay a fixed fee of one hundred wen today, and then in the middle of the month, pick up the basket."
"Good!" Cui'er responded loudly, watched the money shopkeeper write a deed, copied a copy of it, and handed it to herself...... I don't know this ancient word!
Looking at the deed in front of her with trepidation, it is very similar to the modern simplified characters, and the words that Cui'er saw in her trance were all recognized, and they looked at the past one by one, and connected them into a contract, although there were more than the modern contract, but they could also be seen clearly.
"No problem!" Cui'er is sure that the original owner of her body is a literate person, and with her knowledge in modern times, it is not a problem to look at a contract.
When Cui'er looked at the contract, she didn't know that the money shopkeeper's heart was already churning, and this woman was literate! If you want to say that there are ten miles and eight villages in this vicinity, because of the inconvenient transportation, there are very few scholars, and there are very few literate men, not to mention women, the money shopkeeper once again affirmed in his heart that this Cui'er is not
At that moment, the two of them signed a contract with the money shopkeeper, and took another hundred yuan of order money, and then left with a flat shoulder.
"The head of the house, that woman looks black and thin, why are you so respectful to her?" The proprietress of the Qian family saw this transaction in her eyes, if it weren't for Cui'er's dark face, she would probably think that her master had taken a fancy to that Cui Niang.
"What do you know, that green lady, it's not a thing in the pool!" The money shopkeeper looked at the back of Cui'er leaving, his face was serious, and he repeatedly wondered who this Cui Niang was, but he couldn't figure it out.
At this moment, although the money shopkeeper has no contempt for Cui'er, he doesn't know how much wealth today's small deed paper will bring him in the near future.
"Cui'er, you're out!" Cui'er collected the money from selling wicker baskets, and after coming out of the Qian family's grocery store, Aunt Lu and the three of them surrounded her, and their eyes were a little different when they looked at Cui'er.
"Cui'er, you're going to sell all ten wicker baskets?" Aunt Lu watched Cui'er come out, although she had been watching the progress of the matter, she was still a little confused about the outcome of the matter.
"Well, it's all sold." The smile on Cui'er's face was very bright, and she had a small cloth bag of two hundred and fifty big coins in her arms, three pennies and a pound of coarse grain, and she bought a lot of food with these money.
"Great, Aoyama sister-in-law, you are so amazing!" Hua Zhi looked at Cui'er with a look of admiration, "By the way, sister-in-law Qingshan, you can still write?" "Speaking of this, the flower branch almost has stars in his eyes.
"In other words, Cui'er, you're really good!" Aunt Lu gave Cui'er a thumbs up, and the pride and love flashing in her eyes were so obvious.
"Auntie, you have won the prize, I will just be such a little trick." Cui'er laughed embarrassedly twice. At this time, Cui'er didn't realize that since she had done this business, Aunt Lu and Aunt Chunzhu had become more fond of her, and they even more affectionately evoked her maiden name, instead of calling her the Qingshan family before.
"Auntie, do you have anything else to buy, I want to find a shop that sells grain to buy some bud rice noodles?" Cui'er carried a flat pole and looked left and right to buy some food.
"Buying grain? Also, go, I'll take you! Aunt Lu reacted almost instantly, the Qingshan family should have no food in stock, no wonder they came out to sell baskets in such a hurry...... Aunt Lu complained in her heart that the second child even Qinghe said two words, but she couldn't say anything, so she took Cui'er directly to the shop that sold grain.
When she arrived at the grain store, she saw the white rice and yellow noodles in the grain hoard, exuding the unique sweet aroma of rice noodles, Cui'er only felt that her heart was full of longing, as if she had never been so looking forward to buying food home as she was now.
Cui'er looked at the price tags inserted on the grain, coarse bud rice stubble, five cents and two catties, fine bud rice noodles, three cents a catty, sorghum rice, millet, brown rice and the like, also ranging from three to five cents, and the finely ground rice and white noodles placed separately next to it are expensive for ten cents a catty.
Cui'er had the heart to buy some rice and white noodles, but she didn't have enough money in her pocket, and she didn't dare to spend it easily, so she only bought 20 catties of fine bud rice noodles, 10 catties of brown rice, 6 catties of coarse bud rice stubble and 5 catties of sorghum rice.
Rao is Cui'er didn't dare to spend more, these rough grains cost Cui'er a total of one hundred and forty yuan, and the copper coins that she had just sold ten wicker baskets were gone in an instant.
When Cui'er was in pain, the young man in the store saw that Cui'er bought a lot of things, and saw that the shopkeeper was not in the shop, so in order to pull her a repeat customer, he gave her an extra small bag of millet, about one or two catties, which was regarded as a surprise for Cui'er.
Bought forty catties of grain, Cui'er thought about it, cut a pound of pork belly, bought two cheap pig's trotters back, spent a total of twenty-five yuan, when leaving, I saw the big bones thrown in the basket on the side of the stall, I heard that it was two pennies, ruthless, Cui'er bought a big bone for five pennies, and it cost thirty yuan to buy meat.
On this day, Cui'er got more than 200 yuan, and spent 170 yuan in a blink of an eye, at such a speed, Rao is Aunt Lu who was watching from the side, they couldn't help but feel sorry for her, but there was no food at home, this was also a helpless thing, looking at Cui'er who spent money and frowned, Aunt Lu persuaded her a few words, and then took them back.
On the way back, Cui'er, who was carrying so many things, was naturally physically weak, but fortunately, Aunt Lu and they helped to carry the burden together, and when it was time to make dinner, Cui'er finally returned to Lian's house.
