Fu Heng's attitude was very indifferent, and he was not moved by the other party's question.

Not to mention that the other party is just a household master, and he has no power to interrogate people, even if the county order is here, he has nothing to fear.

The sugar business was negotiated between his son-in-law and Ye Hao, and as long as it was what his son-in-law wanted to do, no one could stop it.

A small county order in the Lingnan region is not enough to see.

Seeing that the other party admitted this matter so generously, Zhang Xuehai's eyes were a little more profound, but the smile on his face faded.

Mochizuki Lou wants to meddle in the brown sugar business, he doesn't care.

After all, with the brown sugar decolorization method that Ye Hao offered before, the sugar workshop he managed no longer makes brown sugar, and all that is produced is white sugar frosting.

The commonplace cheap and crude brown sugar, compared with the white sugar in his hand, is not enough to see at all.

It's just that if the other party wants to buy sugarcane in the county town of Manyi, and the price is more expensive than what he gave, isn't this blocking his own way?

Although there are sugarcane fields in the private property of the county order and the private property of their Zhang family, it is not at all proportional to the amount of sugarcane required by the sugar factory.

Nowadays, 1,000 catties of brown sugar can produce 300 catties of frosting, so the demand for sugarcane is even greater.

If it weren't for this, Zhang Xuehai would not have thought about lowering the price when buying sugarcane, so as to receive more sugarcane for less money.

If Mochizuki hadn't intervened, his idea might have been realized.

It's just that at the moment, with Fu Heng's attitude, I'm afraid that Mochizuki Tower is really going to buy sugarcane on a large scale.

"I haven't heard of any sugarcane-related delicacies in Mochizuki Tower before, isn't it, Shopkeeper Fu is going to try this brown sugar business?"

Zhang Xuehai quietly looked at the other party's demeanor with the corner of his eye, but he was a little more apprehensive in his heart.

If the other party answers in the affirmative, then he will have to think of another way.

Hearing his almost substantive interrogation, Fu Heng was not annoyed, smiled, shrugged and said:

"I don't know. Harvesting sugar cane is an order given by my son-in-law, and I am a subordinate who only obeys the order. I don't dare to ask what Childe wants to do."

Zhang Xuehai is one of the henchmen around the county commander, and he knows this.

Ye Hao had said before that she didn't want the county magistrate to know that she was buying sugarcane to make sugar, so Fu Heng pushed all the problems onto his son-in-law.

He didn't believe it, Zhang Xuehai dared to go to Fu Ru'an to ask!

I'm afraid I don't even have this list for the county order, right? Zhang Xuehai is even more impossible.

Convinced of this, Fu Heng dared to confidently and boldly transfer all the contradictions to his son-in-law, just because these people did not dare to provoke.

Sure enough, after hearing that this order was given by Fu Ru'an, Zhang Xuehai's face changed again and again.

Fu Heng's conjecture was right, he couldn't afford to dare to go to Fu Ru'an to inquire about the news.

People are people who dare to discard the invitations of the county order, where is his turn to be a small master bookkeeper who is not well known?

"Since it was Fu Gongzi's idea, it must be reused."

Laughing awkwardly, Zhang Xuehai's thoughts flipped in his heart.

If this matter is Fu Ru'an's idea, then no matter how big his ability is, he can't help it.

It's better to ......

Zhang Xuehai suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and there was a little more vague calculation on his face, and he lowered his voice and said to Fu Heng:

"Shopkeeper Fu, we are all doing things for others. Actually, this purchase of sugar cane is about the same for five cents and two cents, don't you say?"

The eyebrows were squeezed, and the meaning of his words was clear.

Since there is no way to persuade the other party to dispel the idea of competing with him for sugar cane, he can only start from other directions.

The biggest problem facing Zhang Xuehai now is that those villagers who grow sugarcane are unwilling to accept the price of two pennies a pound he offers, and they are unwilling to sell it for a long time.

And Mochizuki Tower is still purchased at the price of five cents a pound in previous years.

Isn't it obvious who will be the winner?

But if the other party's price is the same as their own, then everyone can receive it, which is a question of how much.

With Fu Ru'an coming forward, Zhang Xuehai didn't dare to think about taking the lead like before, but he always got five or five points, right?

Otherwise, if you don't have sugarcane in your hand, what will you do at the sugar factory?

Unexpectedly, what he thought was a good idea was categorically rejected by Fu Heng.

"Five cents a pound is the price set by my son-in-law, and I can't change it."

Drinking tea slowly, Fu Heng still looked calm, not answering the other party's stubble at all.

What does Zhang Xuehai mean, can he not understand? But Ye Hao is very careful about the price, and it is impossible to press it so low like him.

Ye Hao is a person with a righteous heart, which can be seen from her willingness to contribute money for disaster relief, not to mention that the other party specially raised the price of sugarcane again today.

"Shopkeeper Fu, people, you have to make plans for yourself!"

The other party's refusal was something Zhang Xuehai did not expect, and he thought that the other party did not understand what he meant, so he could only hint further.

But Fu Heng didn't raise his eyelids, so he waved his hand, interrupting his next words.

"I'm just a branch shopkeeper, and I can't be the master of my son-in-law. If you want to negotiate the price of sugar cane, please go to my son-in-law."

This was clear enough, and he didn't take the other party's meaning into account at all.

His attitude was so angry that Zhang Xuehai's face turned blue, and he gritted his teeth and didn't know what to say.

And Fu Heng hadn't finished speaking, only to see him raise his eyebrows and chuckle at the other party, adding:

"Oh yes, my son-in-law sent a letter today to say that the quality of sugarcane in our county is very good, and the price of sugarcane has been specially raised to seven cents per catty."

This is a half-truth, Fu Ru'an has never interfered in the purchase price of sugarcane at all, and it is all decided by Ye Hao alone.

But didn't the other party say that she couldn't be exposed? Fu Heng simply replaced it with his own son-in-law.

As soon as he heard the price of seven cents per catty, Zhang Xuehai was almost dizzy, stood up hatefully, glared at Fu Heng and left.

The other party has five dollars a pound, and he has no chance of winning, let alone seven dollars?

It's okay now, even if he restores the original price, it is still two pennies lower than the other party. Isn't this just shooting yourself in the foot?

Zhang Xuehai, who was sitting in the carriage, was angry, and his teeth itched when he thought of it, but he didn't know how to deal with it.

Seeing that the sugarcane inventory in the sugar workshop is getting smaller and smaller, and his wishful thinking has failed, and now he can't even harvest the sugarcane, how can he not be in a hurry?

Although he is the head of the household department and a person with an official position, it is this sugar workshop that makes him the most favored by the county order.

Especially after this year's sugar can be produced, the county order often pays attention to the workshop and asks a few words from time to time.

If the sugarcane is really cut off in the workshop, and there is no way to continue production, won't he Zhang Xuehai be the most responsible at that time?

Gritting his teeth, Zhang Xuehai's face distorted for a moment, he lifted the curtain and said to the groom outside:

"Go to the prefectural order's house!"

Hearing this, the groom raised the long whip in his hand and hurried to another position without stopping.

Ye Hao didn't know that her inflated price made her inadvertently offend another person, and she just wanted to do something good for the benefit of the people from the interests of the people.

After seeing that several newcomers on the workshop were much more proficient, she returned home.

Suddenly seeing the invitation card that she had placed on the table, Ye Zhen's heart moved, and she took the invitation and glanced at it a few times.

She has never participated in the cherry blossom viewing party.

But there is a lot of information about this kind of gathering in the memory of the original owner, which is basically a group of princes and nobles of the wives and ladies gathered together to enjoy the flowers and tea.

while

However, it's not so pure, and it's all a little cautious.

For example, the original owner often goes in and out of such gatherings, and every time he dresses up like a peacock, wearing gold and silver.

If it weren't for the fact that the foundation is really good, that tacky decoration is simply spicy eyes.

Since she is going to participate in the flower viewing party, it is naturally indispensable to wear a suit, Ye Hao has been busy for so long, and it is time to take the time to go out and buy some things.

That is, when she and Xie Yunshu first arrived here, they made some money from setting up a stall and made a few clothes for the family.

At that time, I was not rich, and I basically wore some coarse linen clothes, and I didn't pay much attention to it.

Today, she plans to go to the cloth village in the city to have a good look and bring a few good quality clothes to the family.

Now that she has money in her pocket, there is naturally no need to be frugal like before, and she has to pick up cheap clothes even when she buys them.

Thinking like this, Ye Hao asked Lin Bin to drive the carriage to the city.

There are two or three cloth villages in the city, all of which are on the same street, and the competition between them is not small.

Ye Hao took the lead in choosing the cloth village she had purchased last time, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw that the second child in the store was a little sleepy and dozing off.

Since food prices have not yet recovered, and even business in other industries is sluggish, there are few people in the cloth village at this time.

Seeing someone coming in, Xiao Er hurriedly beat his spirits and looked over.

But when he saw Ye Hao, who was dressed in coarse linen, he instantly rolled his eyes again, and continued to sit down with a sleepy face.

He didn't even say hello.

Although such an attitude is quite unpleasant, Ye Hao doesn't care too much, she is not a hypocrisy, and she has to be accompanied by someone to buy something.

Cloth farms are basically ready-made materials, and they are not sold as ready-to-wear as in modern times.

Sewing clothes is almost a must for every ancient woman, but Ye Zhen can't, she is a halfway monk, let alone sewing clothes, not even Xiuhuahua.

I bought the materials for this set of clothes at that time and asked Aunt Huang to help make it.

After rummaging through a few crude materials, Ye Hao set her eyes on the farther silk and walked closer.

She had just stretched out her hand to take it, when suddenly a voice came from behind her:

"Wait!"

Turning around, Ye Hao saw the little two running over in a hurry, and a disgusted expression blocked her in front of her.

"These are the best ingredients, can you afford them? Don't touch it, you can't afford to touch it!"

The contempt on the other party's face was so obvious that she couldn't ignore it if she wanted to.

Looking down at her whole body, Ye Hao was a little speechless, although she was not wearing gold, she was clean and neat, right?

This shopkeeper is so snobbish?

Angry, Ye Hao didn't want to get used to it, so she snorted coldly and turned around and walked out the door.

There is no place to stay here! There is a cloth village opposite, is she afraid that she can't spend it if she wants to spend money?

As soon as she reached the door, she almost bumped into someone head-on.

"You!"

The man was frightened, and just wanted to scold angrily, but when he saw Ye Hao's appearance, he suddenly stopped again.

"Thank you...... Mrs. Xie."

Ye Hao stood still, and suddenly found that there was still an acquaintance in front of her.

It was one of the several wealthy businessmen who sued her in front of the county magistrate some time ago, and she didn't know who the other party's surname was!
