Chapter 187: Can't You Be Accommodating?
At this time, Zhou Cuihua came over and said with a smile: "Yuanqing's family, don't worry, there are those who are confused, maybe they can't figure it out, but we can figure it out." Don't be aggrieved, we all lead your good hearts! ”
Liu Pan'er nodded and said with a smile: "It's good that my aunt believes in me, life is good, and family affairs are not worried at all, but you need to take it slowly, and you can't be careless." ”
"That's what your uncle said." Zhou Cuihua smiled, looked at the outside of the cave, the house that had been built for a month, and it would be on the beam tomorrow, and she was envious in her heart, "Yuan Qing's family, your house will be on the beam tomorrow, what are you going to do?" ”
Liu Paner was stunned for a moment, "When I was in my hometown, the house was on the beam, did I want to invite the village to a banquet?" ”
Li Cuihua smiled, "It's okay to eat a banquet, but if you're busy and troublesome, you can prepare a wedding cake, a round cake, with sugar and sesame seeds in it." The people who came to say goodbye were one by one. Of course, the people who come to say goodbye are not empty-handed, not only speaking auspicious words, but also giving gifts. ”
Liu Pan'er thought for a while and shook her head, "Then I won't hold a banquet, there is no place at home, and it's too tiring to cook a few tables of meals." Recently, my sister-in-law and I have been very tired, and we don't want to toss, so we will make wedding cakes. ”
Zhou Cuihua nodded, "That's okay, you guys are going to meet tonight, I'll bring my daughter-in-law over early tomorrow morning to help, let's do it together, you can hurry up." ”
"Thank you, auntie." Liu Pan'er replied, "Now that the fields are busy, auntie, your family is also ready to build a house, right?" ”
Zhou Cuihua smiled, the house and the land are the most important in the people's homes, "Yes, the bricks and tiles have been sent one after another, we will build six main houses first, which is barely enough to live in, and the remaining bricks and tiles should be built in the town, and the braised meat shop should be opened first." ”
Li Dabao's eyes lit up, "Grandma the village chief, hurry up and build a shop, in the future, our family will be able to buy braised meat every day." ”
"Not only that, but Zhao Butcher went around collecting pigs, and he said that when the time comes, he will rent a small shop in my house to sell meat. When the time comes, we will buy the water in the braised meat shop nearby. Zhou Cuihua smiled, full of hope for the future.
Liu smiled, "Calculate that the shops in our village have been built, and we can open a lot of shops!" My aunt's braised meat shop, Zhao Butcher's fresh meat shop, carpenter's shop, stonemason's shop, when the time comes, how about our family open a dim sum shop? The cakes made by the three brothers and sisters are delicious! ”
"Yes, third aunt, we open a pastry shop, I will make osmanthus cakes and chrysanthemum cakes!" Li Fang said excitedly that she also wanted to open a shop at home to make money.
"Third aunt, I will make cookies." Li Li smiled and said, "Our business must be good!" ”
Li Nan tugged on her mother's sleeve and muttered in a low voice, "Mother, open a dim sum shop, can our family eat dim sum every day?" ”
Usually because she is busy, Liu Paner only occasionally makes pastries, and the children especially like to eat them. Occasionally go to the town to buy some, but it's not very tasty.
"Okay, when the shop opens, we'll open a pastry shop." Liu Paner said with a smile, the family was too busy, so she went to buy a few servants.
Although it is inhumane to buy people in this way, she will try to be kind to the servants who buy them back.
The people of Jixiang Village, indeed, as Liu and Zhou Cuihua said, after understanding Liu Paner's intentions, felt that it was good not to continue to buy a shop, and accepted such a reality.
Liu, Zhou Cuihua and her two daughters-in-law came over to help make wedding cakes, while Liu Paner took Li Dabao and drove the ox cart to the town to buy grain.
The newly harvested rice at home, except for 1,000 catties of good seeds, was all bought by the county government and the imperial court. The food they eat has to continue to be purchased from the Wu family's grain store.
The family built a house, although the craftsmen sent by the government did not need her to take care of the food, but Liu Paner saw that those people worked hard and worked very hard, so she always tried her best to add food to them.
First went and bought twenty catties of meat and four pig's feet. Seeing that there is lamb at home, making lamb skewers, the children love it.
I bought a barbecue grill and barbecue net through a blacksmith shop, although it was made roughly, but the basic functions were there, and it was barely usable.
Finally, when I came to the Wu family's grain store, as soon as the ox cart stopped, Mrs. Wu came out of it enthusiastically, "Sister Liu, no, it should be Mrs. Derui now!" During this time, I was unwell and did not come to the door to congratulate me personally, but today I have to accept my congratulatory gift no matter what. ”
After speaking, Mrs. Wu handed a box to Liu Paner.
Liu Pan'er was slightly stunned when she saw such an enthusiastic Mrs. Wu, and there was an extra box in her hand, "Mrs. Wu is polite, it is all the grace of Your Majesty, and the county government will take care of it." Usually Mrs. Wu takes more care of me, and always remembers your help, but it is not good to accept your gifts again. ”
Mrs. Wu pursed her lips and smiled, explaining: "Actually, it's not a valuable thing, it's a few silver hairpins I bought in the treasure shop in the county seat, the pattern is quite new, your niece and daughter must like it." Don't be polite to me, you're polite, I'm embarrassed to say that the following cooperation. ”
Liu Pan'er knows how to take the principle of short-handedness, and it is even more difficult to accept it, "Mrs. Wu, what do you say?" If I can cooperate, I'll accept it. If you can't cooperate, you won't be able to do anything, and I won't be able to take advantage of you in vain. ”
Seeing that Liu Paner insisted, Mrs. Wu invited Liu Paner in, and Li Dabao followed closely.
"Sister Liu, what is the reputation of our Wu family's grain shop?" Mrs. Wu asked with a smile, her face quite confident.
Liu Pan'er raised her eyebrows, vaguely guessing my wife's intentions, "The Wu family's grain shop is not a bully, and I have a good impression of it." The people in the village and I have been buying grain from the Wu family grain store, and Mrs. Wu and the Wu family grain store have a good reputation. ”
Mrs. Wu was very happy to hear Liu Paner's praise, this is all the reputation she has worked hard to manage, "I am also very happy to be recognized by the sister of the Liu family, and now I know that your Jixiang Town is under construction, and the least is the grain store." I want to open a five-store grain store in Jixiang Town, sister of the Liu family, what do you think? ”
Liu Pan'er smiled, "It's naturally good to open a grain shop, but now the shops in Jixiang Town have not been built, and the foundations of the shops in Jixiang Town are no longer for sale." If Mrs. Wu wants to buy the foundation of a shop in Jixiang Town, she can't. ”
Mrs. Wu was slightly stunned when she heard this, originally she wanted to buy the foundation of the big shop through Liu Paner, and then open a grain shop over there.
"Can't the sister of the Liu family be accommodating?" Mrs. Wu didn't give up, "I can buy the foundation of the shop at a high price!" ”
Liu Pan'er shook her head and was resolute, "Mrs. Wu, I am the mayor of the town, I think about the problem, I can't start from me personally, I want to protect Jixiang Town." I believe in Mrs. Wu's character, but if I want to get involved with the outsiders in our auspicious town, there are many people with bad intentions, and I have to guard against it. Now that the rules have been set, I can't break them. Mrs. Wu, if you still want to open a grain shop in Jixiang Town, I can build a house and rent it to you. The built house was rented to Mrs. Wu first, what do you think? ”
