Chapter 179: Be the shopkeeper
Sakura Po has some way to do it.
A woman's marriage is decided by her parents, and outsiders can interfere.
Besides, Chu Chu is not young, and it is indeed time to get married.
"Why don't you go and talk to my master?" Sakura gives her ideas.
In her own opinion, Mrs. Wen is a female elder with a certain prestige here, and it is the most suitable to talk about this matter with Sister Chu Chu's father.
"However, Sister Chu Chu, it is estimated that my master will help you shirk for half a year at most, and after the autumn harvest, you still have to go home with your father." It's the truth.
Chu Chu is sixteen this year, and he will be seventeen after the New Year, and in the township, there are indeed few girls who are more than sixteen or seventeen and have not married.
Chu Chu nodded with a bitter face, and immediately pulled Ying Bao to find Mrs. Wen.
Mrs. Wen was also enlightened, and seeing that Chu Chu had made up her mind, she nodded and agreed to help her.
When Chu Chu happily ran to help Grandma Grandma work, Mrs. Wen pointed at Yingbao with her finger and said angrily: "You little girl will make trouble for me as soon as you come back, and you won't come over to review the homework you have left behind." ”
"Yes." Sakura Po grinned and sat with Wen Shu to read a book.
During recess, Wen Shu told Yingbao, "In a few days, my mother and I will go back to Yuzhou." ”
Sakura frowned: "Why? ”
Wen Shu said in a low voice, "Grandfather and grandmother asked me to go back." She was embarrassed to tell Sakura that she had to go back to her family because she was eleven years old.
In fact, Chu Chu is not the only one who has the trouble of getting married, she is the same, so Ah Niang agreed to help Chu Chu once.
But a woman was born to marry, and although she resisted, she had to compromise.
Ying Bao knew that one day she would part with Sister Wen and them, and she also expected that they might be separated for the rest of their lives.
stepped forward and hugged Wen Shu, put his face on her chest, and whispered: "Then you must remember me when you go back, and you must write to me often, don't be like last time, there will be no news as soon as you leave." ”
Wen Shu didn't expect Sakura Bao to say this, and smiled: "I thought you would be reluctant to let me go." ”
"If you are not willing to go, you will still go." Sakura sighed, "There is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever, as long as I think about it in my heart." ”
Wen Shu touched her head and hummed softly, "I will always think about you, and I will often write to you, Yingbao, you have to be good, send me a letter in case there is any difficulty, my family has a pharmacy in Fucheng, the name is Kang'an Pharmacy, and my father is temporarily sitting there." ”
Sakura nodded: "Okay, I see." ”
Wen Shu said again: "There will be a person over there in Yuzhou, if you send a letter, let him bring it." ”
"Hmm."
A few days later, Chu Chu's father came to pick up Chu Chu, but he was sent away by Mrs. Wen, and he never came back since.
After another ten days, Yanru had used up all the frosting, made more than 100 catties of preserved apricots and peaches, and made some preserved pears.
These preserved fruits have all been dried and put into jars, and some have been taken to the county seat by Jiang Quan to sell some.
However, the current preserved fruit is not very easy to sell, and there is no fresh fruit that is popular.
Jiang Quan and his eldest brother Jiang Cheng picked the ripe apricots and peaches these days, transported them to the county seat in a horse-drawn carriage, and set up a fruit stall in front of Yingbao's shop, and the business turned out to be very hot.
During this period, Jiang Saburo also went once, paid someone to repair the house and shop, and asked his nephew Dacheng to take care of it there.
The money for repairing the house was given by the little girl, a total of more than 100 taels, and it was Mrs. Wen who advanced the money for the golden ear, and finally used it all up.
Seeing that the grapes and pepper were also ripe, Yingbao decided to pick some and give them to Wu Daozi to taste, and by the way, he took his eldest brother Jiang Jie to visit Old Man Wu.
The carriage came to the shop first, and Jiang Quan and the eldest brother, who came together, moved three baskets of grapes from the cart, leaving a basket of grapes on the carriage, ready to give them to Mr. Wu tomorrow.
Sakura Bao put some grapes in a basket and put them together with the basket on the cart.
After that, Jiang Saburo drove the carriage to his new home in Plum Blossom Lane, and he was going to clean up and see how the carpenter was progressing.
Ying Bao took his younger brother Jiang Jie to check inside and outside the store.
The shop had been cleaned, and there were some small new bamboo baskets piled up inside.
The damaged parts of the house were also repaired, and even the first three huts were repaired, but they were empty inside, and there was nothing.
Jiang Quan followed behind his little cousin and said with a smile: "In the future, I will be the big shopkeeper of this shop." ”
Ying Bao said seriously: "Second brother, you will be a merchant after you become a shopkeeper." ”
"Merchants are merchants." Jiang Quan didn't care.
Jiang Cheng glanced at his younger brother: "It doesn't matter if you are a merchant, don't be tired of ingots." ”
"What do you mean?" Jiang Quan frowned: "I'm my merchant, what's the matter with Guan Yuanbao?" ”
Ying Bao: "Because the Ming Mansion said that as long as there is one pedestrian merchant in the whole family, it is also a merchant." ”
Jiang Quan scratched his head, was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Then I'll be separated by myself, I have my own household, and I have nothing to do with others." ”
Jiang Cheng sneered: "How old are you?" Before you become a child, and you haven't started a family, how to divide the household? ”
"This ·······" Jiang Quan was at a loss.
Jiang Cheng continued: "I just happened to be a Ding this year. As he spoke, he glanced at his little cousin: "So I can be the shopkeeper of this shop." ”
Jiang Quan was furious when he heard this: "No! I, I'm ······" He stammered for a long time without coming up with a rebuttal.
Indeed, the eldest brother has become a child, and if he proposes to do business separately, his father and mother will definitely not object.
Jiang Jie raised his head and looked at the eldest brother and then at the second brother, and said, "The eldest brother hasn't married yet." "If you don't get married, you don't have a family, this Jiang Jie understands.
Jiang Cheng pinched his little cousin's cheeks and threatened in a low voice: "I won't buy lamb skewers for you to eat when I turn around!" ”
Jiang Quan smiled beside him: "It's okay Xiaojie, the second brother will buy it for you later." ”
Sakura on the side: ······
At this time, someone walked into the shop, and it was two servants in black.
"Huh? Do you still sell grapes from the Western Regions? One person saw two baskets of purple grapes in the shop, reached out and picked a few and stuffed them into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Not bad, how much is a catty?" ”
Jiang Quan hurriedly ran over: "Fifty wen per catty, you are the first guest today, even if you have a discount, it will be thirty-five wen a catty." ”
This guest is a regular visitor to his place, and has already bought fruit in his hands several times.
The black-clothed servant pursed his lips, picked a few more grapes and stuffed them in his mouth, and muttered, "Okay, it's okay, it's thirty wen a catty, and give me ten catties." As he spoke, he took out three hundred copper coins from his waist bag.
Jiang Quan complained about the loss, and at the same time weighed him ten catties of grapes, because there was nothing to hold, and a small bamboo basket was attached.
The man who came with the servant weighed five pounds, paid one hundred and fifty denarii, and took away a basket to hold it unceremoniously.
After the two left, Jiang Quan put all the copper coins in a wooden box and muttered, "I lost ten wen again." ”
He bought these bamboo baskets from a burden-bearer, and each of them was five cents a piece, which was specially reserved for the customers who bought a lot of fruits.
Sakura: "It's okay, it's not a loss. ”
Although the grapes are sold for 30 wen a catty, they are not cheap, and the advantage is that these grapes are all grown by themselves and do not cost money. If you buy and sell from the county fruit store, it is a blood loss.
At this moment, Sakura felt that the second cousin was still more suitable to be a buddy.
