Chapter 164: The First Grain Shop (1)
"Five thousand taels of silver, auntie, we have been neighbors for so many years, when can I not pit our own people, auntie, this price is twice that of our shop! You said let him do some work or something, that must be a good hand, but he can't do it all day long!" Zhao Xiao looked at the other party and said very sincerely.
The woman glanced at her son who was standing beside her, "Actually, I have long known that your character and interests of Brother Maocai are not in this at all, but because this shop is an ancestral business, it has been maintained."
Now that the Shen Mansion can come up with this price, it can be regarded as sincere, especially the head of the Shen family also helped to come up with ideas, let you buy land with silver and rent it out, and then let Brother Maocai be a rich man in peace and stability.
I've also thought about it in the past two days, this idea of the Shen family master is really suitable for your Maocai brother's character. After all, although the shop is gone, but it has also bought land, and it is not a loser, right?"
Zhao Xiaoyan's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Auntie, did you agree?"
"Well, agreed!" the woman said with a smile looking at Zhao Xiaoyan.
"Hehe, it's still my aunt who is doing things happily, in fact, this is really good, you see that after this, my brother Maocai doesn't have to suffer anymore, and the old Ma family has a field and property, and it is not an insult to the ancestors. And didn't I say it last time, you can let my brother Maocai help the Shen Mansion to get the food channel first.
If he is willing to stay, then stay and help, if he wants to do something else, Lord Shen can also do what he can to help.
Auntie, I don't have much to do when I'm young, but I really think that Shen Feng is a good person, and he will definitely have greater achievements in the future, so if Brother Maocai can use this matter to climb to the Shen Mansion, then ...... Hehe, what I said may not be right, since the aunt has settled down, I will go and talk back to Lord Shen. ”
Although Zhao Xiaoyan thinks that what he said is well-intentioned, he feels that these things can only be pointed, if he says too much, the other party may still think that he has some intentions in it. So he immediately closed his mouth and planned to get up and leave.
"Stay and eat something before leaving?" Ma Mao saw that Zhao Xiaoyan was leaving, so he said politely.
"Hehe, I don't like your craftsmanship, since we have confirmed it here, then I have to hurry to the Shen Mansion, I can still catch up with their breakfast in the past, and it is estimated that there will be no drama if it is later, those subordinates are like hungry wolves every day, haha, Brother Maocai, it's not me who praises others, and when you cooperate with them in the future, you will know that people are called breakfast, and we make it ourselves...... Okay, don't talk about it, I have to leave quickly......" The matter came to an end, Zhao Xiaoyan was also very happy, and after a few words of laughter with Ma Maocai, he left in a hurry.
"Mother, did we really sell the shop?" Looking at Zhao Xiaoyan's back, Ma Maocai said worriedly.
"Yes, it's sold! He was right just now, you are honest, you are indeed not suitable for business, rather than suffering and losing like now, it is better to give it a go, change the shop for farm property, and you can do something you like, and you can be happier. Ma Maocai's wife's personality is relatively straightforward, and after listening to her son's question, she gritted her teeth and said.
"So what am I going to do in the future? I can't be idle at home, right?"
"Alas, your child has not inherited a little bit of your father's shrewdness, didn't you hear Zhao Xiaoyan remind you just now, if you want, follow the Shen Mansion first, although this Shen Mansion is a new portal, but from the way of doing things, it is really like Zhao Xiaoyan said, the future is limitless." If you can really climb the Shen Mansion, at least you can ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing.
Of course, my mother is just your son, no matter what you do, you have to be willing and happy, if you are not willing to do it, then forget it, after all, our family still has land, you just don't do anything, you won't starve to death, right?" the woman looked at her son with a doting face, and said with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll think about it again!" Ma Mao said.
"Your temperament is too boring, this is not good, remember, don't have too much pressure, no matter how you decide, my mother will support you, let's go, let's eat something, and then clean up ......"
Just when the mother and son got up and walked towards the inner courtyard, Zhao Xiaoyan had already rushed to the gate of the Shen Mansion in a hurry.
Although Zhao Xiaoyan is not currently from the Shen Mansion, because of Shen Feng's trust and support, he is not only a frequent visitor to the Shen Mansion now, but even occasionally serves as a more important thing in the Shen Mansion. So he is more familiar with the Shen Mansion.
Just like now, when he saw Shen Qingyun, who was the porter, sitting in the gatehouse, he opened his mouth and asked, "Third uncle, is there breakfast?"
"Hehe, it depends on your speed, if it's fast, you can probably grab it. Your Aunt Qin is cooking a little less today, and if it's slow, it will definitely be gone......" Feng Jiao's father Shen Qingyun has been in a much more cheerful mood since he became a porter, so when he heard Zhao Xiaoyan ask himself, he also smiled and teased him.
"Ah, this Aunt Qin is really, then I'll go quickly, by the way, Third Uncle, what about the mountain ginseng I asked Feng Jiao to bring back? Okay, I'll buy you another one another day!" Zhao Xiaoyan looked anxious and was about to run, when he suddenly thought about this question, so he hurriedly asked again.
"I'm so old, what are you doing with all that unjust money? Besides, it's useless for you to please me, if my family Fengjiao doesn't agree, then it's no fun. Okay, let's go to dinner!" Shen Qingyun said with a smile.
Shen Qingyun knew that because Zhao Xiaoyan often came to the Shen Mansion, he was also familiar with his daughter, and the contact between the two was relatively frequent during this time, so he had a little bit of a relationship. But he doesn't plan to care about this matter, since the family was broken, he knows that Feng Jiao has always felt uncomfortable in his heart, if he can have someone he likes to take care of her, at least he can be happier. It's just that the premise is that your daughter is willing, if you don't want to, then you have to fight for your life, and you have to stop this matter.
When Zhao Xiaoyan ran to the kitchen panting, he knew that he was being tricked by his father-in-law.
"Aunt Qin, why haven't anyone come over to eat at such a late hour?" Zhao Xiaoyan asked, looking at the gruel left in the pot.
"It's all over? When is this, I'm going to work after eating early! I've done a little too much today, have you eaten it? No, even if you've eaten, you have to eat some more, or my aunt will feel uncomfortable looking at these leftovers!" Shen Qin commanded with a wave of her fat giant arm.
"Aren't I just coming to eat, why am I here if I don't eat? Wash the dishes for you? How is it possible? Quick, take out your treasured pickles, by the way, I want to eat meat buns? Don't get some vegetarian food, I don't like to eat!" Zhao Xiaoyan was not polite, and directly filled himself a big bowl of porridge, and said to Shen Qin while drinking.
After a morning of running, Zhao Xiaoyan was also hungry, and after a stormy meal, he hiccuped a few times comfortably, "Aunt Qin's skills are getting better and better! ”
"Isn't this all the credit of our Young Master Shen? how do you say that his head is so long, he can figure out so much food, if you like to eat, come over, and Aunt Qin will keep it for you when the time comes." The cooking skills were appreciated, and Aunt Qin was also very happy, and said with a smile.
"Okay, that's it, why do you say Fu Bo is so blessed, if you become a parent, then he won't have to gain weight three times?" Zhao Xiaoyan said with a smile while gesturing a big circle with his hand.
Shen Qin couldn't help but look depressed when he saw Zhao Xiaoyan mention Fu Bo, "Hmph! Don't mention his conscienceless, I was kind enough to bring him food just now, but he wasn't happy!
"That's his fault, where is he? I'm looking for him to have something, and when the business is over, I'll help you talk about him, you're so kind, why doesn't he know what's wrong?" Zhao Xiaoyan pretended to be angry and said with a gloomy face.
"He's definitely in the young master's study, just say your business, don't follow our affairs, don't follow the foolishness, you don't know what to do, the old lady gives you so much delicious food, you actually want to embarrass him? Get out, hurry up and get out of me, the old lady will be annoyed when she sees you!" As soon as Aunt Qin heard Zhao Xiaoyan say this, she immediately turned her face and shouted, while roaring, she also stepped around, and the posture seemed to want to find a guy to take advantage of Zhao Xiaoyan.
"Haha......" Zhao Xiao saw that he was amusing Shen Qin, so he laughed playfully and ran away.
