Chapter XXVII
Chen Xiaonian's eyes were suffocated.
After stabilizing his mind, he looked over again, and Erlang was as usual again, and there was no burning heat in his eyes just now.
Is this a mistake?
Retracting her thoughts, she called Erlang, "You are waiting here for the shopkeeper to come back, I want to go to the government to do something first." ”
Jiro came with him and wanted to follow her.
As long as he heard the word "government" a few times before, although Erlang would not hide, he would never want to stay away every time. Chen Xiaonian didn't have the heart to guess what trouble he had caused, thinking that more things were better than less, so he let him stay here.
"Are you...... The little lady who sells fish in the mouth of Shopkeeper Liu? ”
Hearing someone shouting to himself, Chen Xiaonian turned around to look and saw that it was a smiling mother-in-law.
"Auntie, you are ......"
The mother-in-law was still smiling, "I am the housekeeper of the Chen family, and everyone calls me Mama Zhang." Are you the little lady who always sells him fish in the mouth of Shopkeeper Liu? ”
Chen?
Chen Xiaoniang suddenly remembered, wasn't that two-foot big fish sent to Chen's house by the shopkeeper for a banquet fish?
She nodded hurriedly, "It's me, what's the matter with Mother Zhang?" ”
"Your fish is very fresh, and our old lady loves to eat it. Next time you have fish, no matter how big or small, send some to Chen's house, and we will give more silver. ”
Chen Xiaonian was overjoyed and agreed repeatedly.
Zhang's mother looked at the lively restaurant, "Yo, why are there so many people in Fuchun Restaurant?" ”
The Chen family is a big family in the town, and even the yamen has to be stuttered.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chen Xiaonian told Zhang's mother about the care of the shopkeeper for several days and the difficulties of the restaurant.
"There is a new dish today, Erlang, you go to the back kitchen and get one and give it to Zhang's mother to try." Tell the guy and I'll write it down. ”
Erlang knew what she meant, and raised his feet and entered the restaurant.
He couldn't speak, Chen Xiaonian was still worried that he didn't communicate with his buddy, but he didn't expect that after a while, he would really come out with a food box.
"Mother Zhang, you take it back for the old lady to taste, if you like it, I will make it for the old lady when I have the chance."
Zhang's mother smiled and said a few more polite words to her.
She wiped the corners of her eyes that had nothing, choked up, and said, "We countrymen are used to living a hard life, and we can't waste food, so I thought of such a method." It's also that I didn't think about it, I'm afraid I'm going to cause trouble for the shopkeeper. ”
Zhang's mother waved her hand.
"What's this, I'll go back and talk to the old lady, and the yamen will naturally talk to you."
Chen Xiaonian thanked Zhang's mother, and only after waiting for someone to go away did he rush to Erlang silly.
Jiro was amused by her and reached out to rub her hair.
As soon as she dodged, she saw Erlang raise her chin again, looked in his direction, and saw that the shopkeeper was hurrying over.
"This ...... What's going on? ”
Seeing this scene, the shopkeeper's heart chuckled, and he caught a glimpse of the eye-catching signboard at the door of the restaurant, and then he reacted.
Chen Xiaonian walked up, "The shopkeeper is my ......"
The shopkeeper has always been kind to people, but today's face is a little colder. walked straight into the restaurant, and didn't greet her.
Erlang was worried that Chen Xiaonian would not be able to cope with it, but he didn't expect Chen Xiaonian to pull him and leave.
He didn't understand, grabbed Chen Xiaonian, pointed to the restaurant, and asked her why she didn't wait.
Chen Xiaonian was mysterious, "Let the shopkeeper settle the accounts today, and we will get the silver tomorrow." ”
Erlang frowned, but seeing that she was so determined, she suddenly figured it out again.
His little daughter-in-law has always had a lot of ideas.
She said that if there is silver, then there must be silver.
Leaving the restaurant, the two of them found the lady yesterday.
After counting the money and giving it to the handkerchief, Chen Xiaonian took out the two cloth tigers that the Wang family had made yesterday.
"Auntie, do you think you can accept this?"
This first cloth tiger, the eldest mother only glanced at it perfunctorily, and when Chen Xiaonian took out the second one, the eldest mother was surprised: "Yo, this is a tiger?" It's a really interesting little thing. ”
According to the pattern painted by Chen Xiaonian, Wang made a total of two. One is an ordinary cloth tiger, and anyone who knows how to be a female celebrity at home will do it. But this second one is much more interesting.
The little tiger's head is slightly larger than its body, and a small hydrangea is ordered with a hidden buckle under its paws. The important thing is that the little tiger's expression is cute and cute, but Erlang, who is not smiling, couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw it yesterday.
The mother-in-law likes it very much. "Your mother did this too? Your mother's craftsmanship is really good...... Only one? How did you make a ......?"
Chen Xiaonian knew that her mother-in-law would like it.
"Auntie, how do you see this?"
The mother-in-law looked left and right, "The handkerchief is still at that price, this cloth tiger just now is cheaper, ten yuan, this one is fresh, it is ten yuan more." ”
Chen Xiaonian was not very satisfied, "Auntie, you add more, this is also kung fu work." Look at this stitch ......"
The eldest lady was even more unhappy.
"Girl, this can only be at this price, anyone can do this cloth tiger."
As soon as the last word was finished, Erlang had already taken back the cloth tiger and those handkerchiefs, and pulled Chen Xiaonian to leave.
Not for sale!
The eldest lady shouted a few times, Chen Xiaonian just wanted to raise the price, but Erlang didn't give her a chance and took her away.
I thought that Chen Xiaonian was going to make a fuss, but I didn't expect her to say nothing. Erlang was worried about whether she was holding her breath in her heart, sighed lightly, pulled up her palm, and was about to tell her what she thought in her heart, but she didn't expect Chen Xiaonian to hold him tightly with her backhand.
"Erlang, let's go to the county and sell it ourselves!"
That's exactly what he wanted.
That woman is obviously a second-class dealer, who collects a low price and sells it at a high price.
In this case, it is better for them to sell it themselves, and they can make more money.
It takes two hours to go back and forth from Heshan Village to the county seat, and it is enough to take a car back and forth for an hour.
If she can sell it directly to the county seat and earn back the money earlier, she can pay off those debts as soon as possible, after all, she has to pay off interest every day, and pay off it early and live in peace early.
Chen Xiaonian snapped his fingers and counted the accounts.
"Miss Xiao Nian!"
Listening to the shouting, the two turned around and saw the shopkeeper Liu of Fuchun Restaurant chasing after them.
Erlang's eyebrows were raised, come so soon?
Sure enough, when she arrived, the shopkeeper Liu hadn't waited for her to catch her breath, and had already handed her the five taels of silver in his hand.
Chen Xiaonian told Shopkeeper Liu what the Chen family had promised, and because the bookkeeping was with her, she had to ask Shopkeeper Liu to deduct one or two.
This is a great thing, where can Shopkeeper Liu collect cash again.
"The loss is Xiao Nian girl, or the restaurant doesn't know how much money to lose in the past few days. Today, Miss Xiao Nian, your method seems to be a loss of money, but in fact, it has made the restaurant earn dozens of taels of silver. These five taels of silver are the money for the recipe I bought with you. ”
When Chen Xiaonian accepted the money, the shopkeeper rubbed his hands embarrassedly.
"I've been really worried about business these days, so I didn't have time to say hello to you just now, so don't care."
Erlang's face was expressionless, but his eyes were full of unhappiness.
