Unexpectedly, the man opened his mouth and asked for five hundred taels of silver. The boss was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.
"What treasure is worth five hundred taels of silver? Aren't you obviously trying to trick people?"
"You're cheating? What your son broke was a glass cup from our store. Do you think it's worth five hundred taels?"
The leading man banged his stick impatiently, "Just tell me whether you want to pay or not. If you don't, we will break your son's arm and twist it and send it to the government!"
"Don't, don't fight!" The boss hurriedly stood in front of his son, "If I send my son to the government, you won't be better off, so why bother? How about we discuss it again, five hundred taels is really too much.
You can't get it out even if you kill us, why don't you give it less...two hundred taels, two hundred taels okay?"
Two hundred taels, he tried to find a way to get it together, and he still managed to get it.
"Hey, didn't you still want to buy my store a few days ago? Your tone was very arrogant, why are you running out of money now?"
Shen Qingqing appeared at the door of the grocery store with a smile and a mocking tone.
When the boss saw her, he got angry, clenched his fists and shouted: "Get out of here, you are not welcome in my store."
Shen Qingqing turned a deaf ear, glanced into the store, and said jokingly: "Five hundred taels is not much. Isn't it enough to just sell your grocery store and just make up for it?"
"If you can't sell it later, you can come to me. Considering that we are neighbors, I can reluctantly accept it for twenty taels of silver."
The boss was so excited by these words that blood rushed to his forehead. He climbed up and closed the door, "Go away, I won't sell it to you even if I burn down this store!"
Twenty taels of silver, who is disgusting?
He turned around and looked at the men earnestly, "Don't listen to that woman's nonsense. Let's continue talking about compensation. Two hundred taels of silver... do you think it's okay?"
"No, if you say five hundred taels, it means five hundred taels. You can't lose even one tael of silver!" The leading man's attitude was arrogant and he refused to give in at all.
The girl just said was right. We still have the store in our hands, so what right do we have to cry about poverty?
The boss gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, feeling angry and annoyed, "You are trying to force me to death. I have worked hard for most of my life and only earned two stores. If I sell them, how will I live in the future?"
"I don't care how you live. It's natural to pay back debts. Do you understand?"
The man lost his patience, so he swung his stick and hit the boss's son. The store was filled with cries and screams, making it very lively.
He looked at the next door curiously, "What are they doing? Do you need to report it to the official? Don't turn around and cause trouble."
Shen Qingqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, those people are just asking for money and are not stupid enough to send themselves to the government... Have the bowls been put away? Let's go back after putting them away."
Mr. He put up the rag and wiped his hands. He turned to look at the customers who were blocking the door of the store and were reluctant to leave. He muttered: "I really want to send them out. To be honest, I'm a little reluctant!"
That’s all money delivered to your door!
"Actually, I'm a little bit reluctant to part with it, but I can't help it... No matter how delicious the food is, if you eat it every day, sooner or later you will get bored. Only by whetting their appetite in this way can our business last long."
Shen Qingqing checked everything in the kitchen and locked it after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it. "Besides, picking mushrooms is not an easy job. You have to give me some time to rest, right?"
Mr. He nodded to express his understanding, "You are right, human nature is like this. The more you don't get something, the more you know how to cherish it."
The customer who was guarding the door of the store saw that Shen Qingqing was about to leave, and asked without giving up: "Is there really nothing today? I see you are still holding something in your arms!"
"What I'm holding in my arms is for tomorrow. It's really gone today. Let's all disperse."
Shen Qingqing simply explained, raised his whip and drove away in style, leaving a group of gluttons drooling at the scent.
On the first day of opening, Shen Qingqing basically figured out the flour and mushroom oil needed to make a hundred bowls of noodles. From now on, she would prepare this amount every day to avoid waste.
But based on this calculation, the fungus oil at home won't last long, so she will have to keep running up the mountain for a while.
Shen Qingqing sighed with a sad look on her face. In her previous life, she went to the mountains to grab mushrooms from people every day without feeling tired. But now that no one is grabbing them, she feels tired.
Hearing her sigh, Mr. He couldn't help but ask: "Qingqing, what's wrong with you? You don't seem happy."
"I'm not unhappy, I just feel like my arms are missing." Shen Qingqing swung her whip and complained in a plaintive voice: "It would be great if a person could grow eight arms, so I don't have to run up the mountain every day."
He was delighted, "If a person has eight arms, what does that mean, a crab?"
Meng Qixue shook her head and continued: "I don't want crabs, I don't want crabs, I just want my mother!"
Shen Qingqing, dumbfounded, turned around and gave her a comforting look, "Don't worry, your mother won't turn into a crab just yet."
"Are you worried about mushrooms? I'll go up the mountain with you later. Tell me what you can and can't pick, so that I can help you more often in the future."
He saw through her thoughts and smiled proudly: "Although the old woman is old, her memory has not deteriorated, and there will be no mistakes in keeping it."
Shen Qingqing raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, her cheeks flushed, "Of course I'm very happy that Auntie is willing to help, but I feel a little bit sorry that I keep bothering you like this."
"What's there to feel sorry for? You're just a kid, so let's make an agreement that we'll go up the mountain to pick mushrooms together later!"
"Xue Bao is going too!"
Meng Qixue jumped up with her hands raised, but He quickly pushed her back down, "Little ancestor, this is still in the car, be honest."
Meng Qixue stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, holding her cheeks and acting coquettishly: "Mom, Xuebao also wants to help you pick mushrooms!"
"I want to go too." Meng Qiyun took the opportunity to interject.
Facing a pair of watery eyes, Shen Qingqing couldn't say no at all, "Okay, I'll take you with me, but we have to agree in advance that we can't run around after going up the mountain, and we must obey the orders."
After running to the mountains so many times, she had never seen wild boars, wolves and other aggressive beasts, and she had not even seen common hares and pheasants a few times. Since the danger had been eliminated, there was no big problem in taking them up the mountain.
Meng Qixue clapped her hands happily, "It's great, I can finally go to the mountains to play. Brother, you have to catch a little rabbit for me this time!"
Meng Qifeng took a peek at Shen Qingqing and whispered: "Okay, big brother will catch rabbits for you."
Shen Qingqing listened to the conversation between the brother and sister and felt that something was wrong, "You used to run to the mountains?"
Meng Qixue nuzzled towards her dishonestly, "When daddy was here, he would take us to the mountains to hunt. Daddy is really good. He can catch rabbits, goats, pheasants, pigeons... Anyway, there is nothing that daddy can't catch!"
"Mom, isn't my dad great?" This chapter has been completed!
