Huahai frowned, remained silent for a while, then stood up suddenly and walked to the backyard.
In the woodshed in the backyard, Lady Bell was holding her bell, her face full of sorrow.
"Mom..." Lingdang stretched out his curled-up and somewhat numb calves, looked around at the damp and cold surroundings, and whispered, "Mom, I'm hungry!"
Lady Lingdang seemed to have just come back to her senses, and touched a white porcelain bowl beside her. It was already empty. She dragged her injured leg and climbed to the wooden door, and slapped the wooden door of the woodshed hard, "Is there anyone? Is there anyone?
? Give us something to eat, Ling Ding is hungry!"
Lingdang suddenly hugged Lingdang's mother's calf from behind and said, "Mom, stop shouting, they won't come. Lingdang isn't hungry anymore. If you tell Lingdang a story, Lingdang won't be hungry anymore!"
Lady Lingdang turned around, hugged Lingdang, and suddenly she was like crazy. She kicked the wooden door of the woodshed fiercely and shouted: "Come here, come quickly. I, Hua Lei, have not done anything wrong to the Hua family. It is your Hua family."
I'm sorry, let us out, let us out! Huahai, your son did such a thing that is worse than a beast, and you still defend him, why do you control me? Why? "
Ling Dang was held by Ling Dang's mother. Listening to Ling Dang's vent, she was so frightened that her face turned pale and she didn't dare to say a word.
"Hua Hai, please let me out. I really don't know where Hua Xiaotang is. I have nothing to do with him anymore. Hua Hai, please let us out!" After venting for a while, Ling Dang Niang finally said
I was tired, but I still knelt at the door and patted the wooden door again and again.
Huahai stood outside the woodshed, her face cold and dark.
"Master..." Perhaps feeling Hua Hai's anger, Hua Gen stepped forward nervously and whispered, "Master, this servant has been asking for more than ten days, and she has always said that she has never seen the young master, the master, and the bell.
, after all, they are the young master’s flesh and blood..."
"Shut up!" Hua Hai's eyes darkened, "How can such a woman accompany Xiaotang's child? There is only one young lady in the Hua family, and that is Hua Lin!"
Hua Gen quickly shut her mouth, not daring to say anything more.
"Hua Gen, follow me to the Chu Mansion!" Hua Hai suddenly whispered, "If you don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, I must at least give Miss Chu some face!"
Before Huahai's voice could finish, he saw a servant coming to report: "Master, Miss Chu is here!"
Huahai was startled: "I didn't expect it to come so quickly! In that case, there's no need for me to go forward!"
After Huahai finished speaking, she immediately went to the hall.
In the hall, Chu Yiqing and Ying Qian were sitting aside. There were some gifts on the table, which were silk and satin she brought back from the capital.
As soon as Huahai entered the door, she saw the things on the table and couldn't help but laugh: "Why is Miss Chu so polite? I am happy that Miss Chu can come to see me, and I don't need to bring anything!"
Chu Yiqing stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Hua, I encountered something some time ago and went to the capital. It was really nice to bring back some specialties of the capital. I think that Mr. Hua was an official in the capital before. Although he doesn't care about these things, he
It can be considered a little bit of my care!”
Huahai waved her hand: "Miss Chu, you're welcome! Miss Chu came just in time, and I also happen to have something I want to talk to Miss Chu!"
Chu Yiqing smiled slowly: "Then please let Mr. Hua speak first!"
Hua Hai hesitated for a moment and said: "Actually, I used to be the Protector of the Country, and my original name was Hua Hanxuan. Does Miss Chu know?"
Chu Yiqing saw that he seemed to be honest with each other today, so he nodded and said: "I have heard about Mr. Hua's previous identity, but I don't know the details!"
Huahai sighed, "When I was an official in the court, I was forced to do a lot of things that went against my conscience due to the situation. The case of the imperial family at that time was also involved in me!"
Chu Yiqing was startled. She came here today just for the matter of Ling Dang and her daughter, but she didn't expect that Hua Hai would talk about the affairs of Huangfu's family back then.
"A few days ago, Pan Yulang found me. Only then did I know that your godmother Huangfu Pan was a member of the Huangfu family and the Pan family. I feel very ashamed to talk about it. What happened between the Huangfu family and the Pan family back then, I
He is deliberately framed, but I can't help it. As an official in the court, I can't help myself. Today, I will make it clear to Miss Chu. If Miss Chu insists on seeking justice for the Huangfu family and the Pan family, then I have nothing to say.
I will do my best to compensate them!"
Chu Yiqing frowned. In fact, she had suspected this matter, but she had not confirmed it. Now hearing what Hua Hai said, she lowered her head and said: "Mr. Hua, after all, that was an old thing thirty years ago, and with the
Mr. Hua’s current status makes him able to say these sincere words, and I am grateful in my heart! My godmother always avoided Mr. Hua before, and I was also suspicious in my heart, but my mother never told me, and now it seems that I
Mom also deliberately doesn’t want me to know. Now that Mr. Hua and my godmother are already in their sixties, what else is there to fight about? But here, I have a merciless request, and I hope Mr. Hua will grant it!"
When Hua Hai heard that Chu Yiqing no longer pursued the past thirty years ago, a big stone in his heart suddenly dropped. To be honest, he was used to this kind of peaceful life, and he really didn't want to get involved in a fight. If
It's a good result to really turn a conflict into friendship. But he guessed Chu Yiqing's request, he still frowned and said: "Miss Chu, is it about Ling Dang and her daughter?"
Chu Yiqing nodded: "I took them mother and daughter from Zhujiacun back then, and promised them that I would take good care of them. Mr. Hua, I heard Shan Er said that Ling Dang Niang was the maid who escaped from your house. In fact, things have passed.
After so many years, how about Mr. Hua not worrying about this matter?"
Hua Hai frowned and whispered: "Miss Chu, it stands to reason that since you brought it up, I should sell it to you to save face, but this slave is related to the disappearance of my son Hua Xiaotang, and I want to find Xiaotang back.
Tang, so this person can’t be taken away by Miss Chu for the time being!”
Chu Yiqing was startled, "Mr. Hua, if you don't mind, could you explain the origin of the matter in detail? Maybe I can help!"
Hua Hai was in trouble, so naturally he couldn't talk about the threats he received, otherwise Chu Yiqing would definitely know that what happened to Huiming was something he did deliberately, and his relationship with that person...
"Miss Chu, it's actually nothing. Back then, Xiaotang was willful and said she wanted to elope with this slave named Hualei. Since then, there has been no news. As a result, she happened to see Hualei in the Chu Mansion that day, so I caught her back.
I wanted to interrogate her carefully, but Hua Lei actually denied leaving with Xiaotang. I can't help but see that she didn't shed tears until she saw the coffin!" When Hua Hai said these words, there was a hint of sinisterness in Hua Hai's eyes.
Chu Yiqing's heart tightened. The Huahai she usually saw was a kind and simple old man. Maybe the Huahai with this expression now is the real Huahai! If Huahai hates Ling Dang Niang so much, then Ling Dang Niang will follow her.
With the bell in his hand, he must have suffered a lot!
"Mr. Hua, what do you think of this? Lady Lingdang and I are considered masters and servants. Why don't I ask her for you? Maybe she will tell the truth!" Chu Yiqing said quickly.
Hua Hai narrowed his eyes slightly. Now he is eager to know the whereabouts of Hua Xiaotang, and he will try any method!
"Then I'll bother you, Miss Chu!" Hua Hai said in a low voice.
"You're welcome!" Chu Yiqing felt relieved when she saw that he was willing to let her see Ling Dang.
The chain on the door of the woodshed was opened. Lady Lingdang quickly raised her head, and a ray of sunlight came in, which only illuminated their eyes. Lady Lingdang quickly covered Lingdang's eyes to prevent her from looking, until the door of the woodshed was closed.
.
"Miss?" Lady Lingdang quickly dragged her legs forward as soon as she saw clearly that it was Chu Yiqing.
"Prince Zhu, your legs..." Chu Yiqing looked at Ling Dang's mother's bloody legs, his eyes darkening.
Lady Lingdang shook her head: "It's no big deal, miss, you have to save Lingdang, Lingdang is just a child, she doesn't know anything!"
Chu Yiqing hurriedly said: "Don't get excited. Come on, I'll bring you some food and water. Eat slowly and drink slowly!"
When Ling Dang saw the meat burning, he swallowed hard.
Chu Yiqing stepped forward and handed the fire to Lingdang first. Lingdang quickly took it and whispered: "Thank you, Miss!" Then he took a big bite, but because he ate too quickly, he choked and rolled his eyes, and his little hands couldn't hold it.
He kept beating his chest, but his other hand still held the fire.
"Ling Ding, eat slowly, there are still a lot of them!" Chu Yiqing hurriedly handed the water bag to her, let her take a sip of water, and gently wiped the corners of her oily mouth.
"Young lady of the Zhu family, you should also eat some. Only when you are full can this wound heal quickly!" Chu Yiqing turned around and urged Lady Lingdang.
Lady Bell nodded, with tears in her eyes, while looking at Chu Yiqing, she bit down.
Chu Yiqing looked around the woodshed and couldn't help but frown. It seemed that Huahai really hated Lingdang Lady and treated them so harshly!
After eating a fire and drinking some water, Lady Ling Dang finally calmed down, wiped her hands on her tattered clothes, knelt on the ground quickly and said: "Miss, my life is not worth anything, but please do it."
Save the bell, it’s still small!”
Chu Yiqing nodded, not feeling dirty, and sat down on the spot and asked: "Tell me honestly, what is going on?"
Lady Lingdang didn't want to hide it anymore, so she said: "My birth name is Hualei, and I am the son of a family in Huafu. I grew up in Huafu. Six years ago, the young mistress of Huafu got pregnant.
The young master moved out to sleep alone in the study. That day he drank too much, so..." Hua Lei lowered her head and choked, "Later, the young master promised to marry me, so I didn't tell him, but who knew that I
I was actually pregnant with Lingdang. When the young master found out, he gave me a sum of money and told me to leave, because the young mistress was jealous and she was still in confinement. If she knew about this... then I would
Knowing that the young master just wanted to have fun and was not sincere, I was disheartened, but I had to accept it, so I took the money and left. Later, when I went to the countryside and met Shitou, I lied and said that I was married.
But Shitou didn't dislike me, so we lived in Zhujiacun until Shitou..."
The more Ling Dang mother talked, the sadder she became, and her tears couldn't stop flowing. Beside her, Ling Dang didn't eat either, but just looked at her mother blankly, her little mouth pursed tightly.
"But Mr. Hua said that the young master of the Hua family ran away with you and never met anyone else!" Chu Yiqing whispered,
"Miss, believe me, I really don't know where the young master went. I really walked alone at that time! I..." Ling Dang looked around and suddenly picked up a sharp piece of wood.
, aiming at the heart of his heart, "Miss, I am willing to die to prove my purpose. What I said is really the truth. I just ask the lady to treat my Lingdang well. The lady promised that she will teach Lingdang to read and find a good girl for Lingdang."
As long as the bell is good, I will be willing to die here!"
"Mother!" Lingdang was so frightened that she cried loudly.
Chu Yiqing hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the wood from her hand, "What are you doing? No matter how good I take care of Lingdang, I can't compare to you, my own mother. Are you willing to die before you see Lingdang get married?"
Lady Lingdang was startled, turned around and hugged Lingdang and cried, "Miss, I don't want to die, and I'm not willing to die, but the master will not let us go, we..."
"Okay, as long as you really don't know where Hua Xiaotang is, I believe Mr. Hua will not embarrass you again!" Chu Yiqing whispered, and could only comfort Ling Dang** first, "You guys can be more patient.
In time, I will persuade Mr. Hua to let you out as soon as possible!"
Ling Dang's lips trembled and she asked in disbelief: "Miss, is what you said true? Is the master really willing to let us go?"
"As long as we can find Hua Xiaotang!" Chu Yiqing frowned, this matter is really difficult.
In the hall, Huahai slowly sipped tea. When she saw Chu Yiqing coming, she quickly stood up and asked, "How is it? Did she say it?"
Chu Yiqing shook his head: "She doesn't know the whereabouts of Mr. Ling at all. Mr. Hua, you have wronged her!"
There was a thin layer of anger on Hua Hai's face, "Miss Chu, do you believe her?"
"I believe her!" Chu Yiqing said calmly, sitting down, "Mr. Hua, can we discuss a business deal again?"
Huahai's eyes darkened: "What business?"
"I will help Mr. Hua find Mr. Ling's whereabouts. I just ask Mr. Hua to treat Ling Dang kindly. After all, Ling Dang still has half of Mr. Ling's blood flowing in her body!"
Hua Hai's face turned pale and he said coldly: "I will never admit it! It was this damn slave who killed my good daughter-in-law! Hua Lin Niang, I watched her grow up, and I regard her as
My biological daughter was so angry to death by this slave, I..."
Perhaps thinking of the pain of losing a daughter-in-law and the pain of losing a son, Huahai's body trembled slightly.
"Master..." Hua Gen quickly stepped forward and gently stroked Hua Hai's back.
"Mr. Hua, it doesn't matter if you don't admit Lingdang's identity. I just ask you not to torture Hua Lei anymore. Don't worry, I will do my best to search for Mr. Ling. But to find Mr. Ling, I'm afraid I need your help, Mr. Hua!" Chu Yiqing said calmly.
vocal tract.
Huahai finally calmed down, raised his head and said, "Okay, I won't treat them harshly, but Miss Chu, are you really sure you can find Xiaotang?"
Chu Yiqing frowned, "I'll give it a try! I just want Mr. Hua to draw the appearance of Young Master Ling, and the people that Young Master Ling interacted with back then?"
Hua Hai nodded, turned around and told Hua Gen: "Hua Gen, go to the young master's room and give his portrait to Miss Chu. Also, you were the young master's personal servant back then. What happened to the young master?
You have to tell Miss Chu everything, do you understand?"
Huagan responded quickly.
In the Chu Mansion, Mrs. Hua took Shan Qin and others to knead the persimmons on the drying mat for the last time. This time, they had to flatten the fruit surface, squeeze the flesh soft, and flatten and shape it in time. Fortunately, Chu came early in the morning.
I gave them instructions when I left, so they knew what was going on, and they didn't have to worry about ruining such good persimmons like they did a few times before.
"Sir, the box has been delivered, where can I put it?" After a while, there was a knock on the door. It turned out that a custom-made box had arrived. Mrs. Hua quickly got up and directed the box to be moved into the backyard.
"Boss, the best rice paper has been delivered!" Someone knocked on the door again, and Mrs. Hua was extremely busy. At this time, Mrs. Huangfu came out of the room and said, "Okay, you go and do your work, I'll do it!"
"
Hua ** quickly responded and led the person delivering the box through the door first.
"Old madam, how many gentlemen in your house are writing, and why do you use so much paper?" The clerk was very flexible. While sending people to move the paper in, he couldn't help but poke his head around to inquire.
"Don't ask if you shouldn't. Move the things in, count them carefully, and pay me the money!" Mrs. Huangfu said displeased.
"Okay!" The clerk hurriedly smiled with his eyes, not daring to look around. After moving the paper into the side hall, he came forward with the receipt, "Old lady, the total is fifty and two taels of silver.
, Our shopkeeper said, it’s rare to encounter such a big customer, so the leader will be exempted, fifty taels, and we also ask the old lady to come and patronize our shop in the future!” the clerk said quickly with a smile.
Mrs. Huangfu now had a smile on her face, so she took out the money and gave it to the clerk.
"Thank you, madam, let's go!" The young man received the money and left happily.
Mrs. Huangfu looked at the piles of fine white rice paper, and then at the boxes all over the yard, and her mood gradually became happy. As long as the family is safe, being busy is also happiness!
"Old madam, Miss Chu is back!" A mother-in-law came to report, and Mrs. Huangfu rushed out to greet her, "How are you, how are Ling Dang and Ling Dang?"
Chu Yiqing shook his head, not seeing A Bao running around, and asked hurriedly: "Where is A Bao?"
"I was studying in the house, and there was a noise in the backyard, so I asked Master Yun to come to the front yard. Just now, she kept asking where Sister Lingdang was, so I had to lie to her!" Mrs. Huangfu poured a cup of tea for Chu Yiqing,
While asking: "Then Mr. Hua refuses to let me go?"
Chu Yiqing didn't talk about the incident with Ling Dang, but just said: "Mom, are you hiding something from me?"
Mrs. Huangfu was startled and said intuitively: "Why do you ask that? Could it be that you went to Hua Mansion to listen to something?"
Chu Yiqing sighed: "It doesn't matter what I heard, but I want to hear what my mother has to say!"
Old Mrs. Huangfu was a little embarrassed. After hesitating for a while, she said: "Yiqing, you are tired enough. Don't ask me anything. Drink some water first and go see Hua ** and the others. The guy just brought you what you want."
I paid for the box and rice paper. You go and take a look. Do you think it’s to your liking?"
Chu Yiqing did not insist. She knew that Mrs. Huangfu did this for her own good. What she could do now was not to avenge the Huangfu family and the Pan family that had nothing to do with her, but to make Mrs. Huangfu happy!
"Okay, then I'll go take a look. Mom, if you have nothing to do, go shopping and let Aunt Ju accompany you to buy some necessary things. I see that you don't bring much luggage when you come this time. It's getting cold.
, People are afraid of the cold when they get old, so buy some clothes in advance!" Chu Yiqing stopped mentioning it and followed Mrs. Huangfu's train of thought.
When it came to buying more clothes, Mrs. Huangfu quickly said: "No, there was an autumn rain two days ago, and it became colder in the morning and evening. I took out the jacket that A Bao left here that day, and now A Bao has grown
Come on, I can’t wear it for a long time. I just happened to go to the street to see if there are any good-looking fabrics. I will make three outfits at once, and one for Ah Jin and Ah Yin!"
Chu Yiqing nodded and asked Aunt Ju to accompany him while he went to the backyard.
Because when making pancakes for the second time, it was Pan Yulang who was making trouble in the house. This time the persimmons were not formed very well. Chu Yiqing felt a little regretful when he looked at them. Fortunately, this was the first batch, and there were still a few more in the past few days.
It was about to be flattened for the second time, and this time I had to make it well, so I thought of selling this batch first. Now that the business in Lucheng has just recovered, it is time to use this batch of persimmons to regain people's respect for Chuji Shop.
confidence.
She picked up the wooden box she had just arrived and weighed it. It was not bad. It was the same as what she had seen in the store that day. It was heavy enough, so she asked Rang to spread the rice paper inside and place the flattened semi-finished products carefully.
inside.
"Put it under your head in a ventilated place. Frost will fall in a few days. Then take it out to reveal the frost!" Chu Yiqing ordered while personally demonstrating how to place it.
"Miss Chu!" While she was doing her work, Dan Er came over and said anxiously: "Miss Chu, the restaurant opened yesterday and the business was pretty good. Now the flower banquet has resumed, but some pickles have long been used up. I thought
Come and say something to Miss Chu and see if you have time to make some pickles!"
Speaking of pickles, Chu Yiqing had an idea early on. After Bai Yuanzeng, Li Qian and others were arrested, there was no one to manage the vegetables in Lucheng. In addition, there is no shortage of vegetables now, and many vegetables have long been rotten.
In the field, Bai Yuanzeng and Li Qian had returned from the capital yesterday, but they were demoted due to poor supervision. Then Zhang Yong and Mrs. Zhang had no intention of coming back. After all, they were considered accomplices in the murder of Prince Rao.
, Now after what happened, the emperor paid less and less attention to Lucheng. Vegetables are not transported to all parts of the country. There is only a small Lucheng. Naturally, it cannot digest so many vegetables, but the greenhouse cannot be built.
waste……
"In this way, you go back and make other dishes first. I will arrange the pickles as soon as possible!" Chu Yiqing said. Seeing that Hua and the others had all packed the persimmons, there was no need to worry.
Went to the Yamen.
In the yamen, Cheng Zhi and Bai Yuanzeng were worried about vegetables. At that time, Li State was in urgent need of vegetables, and growing vegetables in Lucheng also required a large number of people. Those people who did not have land could at least be hired to grow vegetables.
But now the imperial court no longer needs the vegetables from Lucheng. There is also news that the emperor intends to remove the agricultural officials from Lucheng and return the land to the people. If this is true, the people will have hope if they have land.
The most fearful thing is that at this time, the land has not been returned, and there is no place to sell so many vegetables, they are all rotting in the ground!
Bai Yuanzeng was caught in the capital and naturally suffered a lot. This time he felt a little disheartened. He just sat with Li Qian and listened to Cheng Zhi's words.
"Lord Bai, please speak up. If this continues, Lucheng will be in chaos!" Cheng Zhi said anxiously.
Bai Yuanzeng smiled bitterly: "Master Cheng, look at Master Li and I. We are both in shock. How can we come up with any ideas? Besides, the emperor spent a lot of manpower and material resources growing vegetables in Lucheng at that time.
, I believe that the emperor will call all these people back soon, Mr. Cheng, please don’t be too worried!"
Cheng Zhi couldn't help but stood up, "I don't want to worry, but the workers in front of the yamen gate ask me for wages every day. As you know, these workers were recruited by the government. Nowadays, it is getting harder and harder to sell this food. The government
Where does the government have the money to pay them?"
"If you don't have any money, just let them go back. The vegetables are all rotting in the ground anyway, so we don't need so many people!" Li Qian couldn't help but say.
"What you say is easy. These people are the poor people whose land was confiscated back then. I promised to give each of them a chance to work, and they relied on this job to support their entire family, Mr. Bai, Mr. Li, this
The rebellion of the Guangfu Society has just ended, and you all forgot about it? The common people have no way to survive, so they naturally resist!" Cheng Zhi said urgently.
Bai Yuanzeng sighed: "Master Cheng, Master Li and I are really helpless. Look at Master Zhang, I don't know whether he is alive or dead..."
"I am talking about the livelihood of the people in Lucheng. What are you talking about?" Cheng Zhi was anxious.
"My lord, my lord, Miss Chu wants to see you!" A government official came to report.
"Miss Chu? Look at me, why have you simply forgotten this capable person? It was Miss Chu who put down the rebellion at the Guangfu Society back then. She must have a way! Come on, please come on!" Cheng Zhi said quickly.
Bai Yuanzeng and Li Qian also cheered up. They heard that they could be released because of Miss Chu, so their hearts were filled with gratitude.
As soon as Chu Yiqing entered the hall with Yingqian, he saw three people standing to greet him. He immediately smiled and said: "I didn't know that the three adults were talking about important things. How reckless!"
Cheng Zhi hurriedly said: "Miss Chu, please take a seat quickly!" After saying that, he was served good tea.
"Miss Chu, you came just in time. We are discussing about these vegetables. You also know that it is autumn now and there is no shortage of vegetables all over the country. These vegetables are about to rot in the ground. This vegetable is rotten.
, the workers have no wages, no wages, how many families have suffered losses, I am not having a headache with the two adults about this matter, I wonder if Miss Chu has any good ideas?" Cheng Zhi asked flatteringly.
Chu Yiqing smiled faintly: "Several adults really think highly of me, Chu Yiqing. I'm just a prostitute. How can I understand such important national affairs? I came today just to tell Mr. Cheng that Pan Yulang was kicked out by me."
The person who went to my house is not a relative of mine. I will return to Chu Han in a few days. The business between Chu Mansion and Chu Ji needs Master Cheng and all of you to take good care of it!"
Chu Yiqing's few words made Cheng Zhi speechless. He smiled coquettishly and said, "Miss Chu, what happened last time was due to my carelessness. I just thought that Pan Yulang was a relative of Miss Chu.
It’s better than letting outsiders take over the Chu Mansion, so..."
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Sir, please don't get me wrong. Yiqing is not here to blame you for the wrong judgment. You are the parent official of this Lucheng city. Yiqing's property is here, so naturally you have to rely a lot on you. It's just that Yiqing wants to talk to you."
Tell me clearly, I am afraid that you will be taken advantage of again!"
Cheng Zhi nodded quickly: "Miss Chu, don't worry, this kind of thing will never happen again! Miss Chu, look at this vegetable..."
Chu Yiqing also smiled and said: "Speaking of vegetables, my restaurant needs some vegetables!"
Cheng Zhi immediately sighed: "Miss Chu, no matter how good your restaurant's business is, it's just a restaurant. How many vegetables can it use? Besides, these vegetables are rotting in the ground now!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "My restaurant uses a lot of them! I want all the peppers, but I just want big, firm and complete peppers. It doesn't matter whether they are green or red! The same goes for eggplants. It's better to be a little tender, but it's fine if they are too old."
, but the price is less, one thousand catties! Fifty thousand catties of garlic, cucumbers and radishes, Mr. Cheng, how about it?"
When Cheng Zhi heard this, he immediately said happily: "Miss Chu, can your restaurant really use so much? It's really great!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Don't worry, Master Cheng. Now that we have started talking about business, let's talk business. If I want these vegetables, I can't pay them at the market price. They must be at least 40% cheaper."
!”
Cheng Zhi was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then said cruelly: "Okay, it's better than dying in the ground. I'm watching. Once these lands are taken over, the emperor should order the dismantling of this vegetable base. It's better to
If you can make time to plant winter wheat, but if you can’t, just plant spring wheat. Ordinary people, they still feel at ease growing food, because they will always eat food!”
Chu Yiqing nodded and said: "Then it's settled, please arrange for Master Bai and Master Li to pick it for me as soon as possible. Like Master Cheng said, if you don't pick it, it will rot in the ground!"
Bai Yuanzeng and Li Qian responded quickly.
After coming out of the Yamen, Chu Yiqing and Ying Qian went shopping in Jiajia, specifically looking for that kind of bamboo utensil shop. As long as the bamboo utensils in the store could be used to hold things, they all bought them at full price. It seemed that the quantity was still far behind.
I ordered 10,000 pieces from the store clerk and agreed to deliver them to Chu Mansion within five days.
After coming out of the bambooware shop, Chu Yiqing went to the ceramics shop again. Because the workshops in the house used to use ceramics from this company, the shopkeeper had long known Chu Yiqing and knew that Chu Yiqing was a big customer, so he hurriedly
He went up to her and said, "Oh, isn't this Miss Chu? You want a clay pot again?"
Chu Yiqing nodded, picked a pot of suitable size, and said with a smile: "I want three thousand pots of this size. I wonder if they can be delivered within five days?"
When the shopkeeper heard that in this world, there are still people placing such a big order, he immediately said: "Yes, yes, absolutely yes!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "As for the price..."
"Don't worry, Miss Chu. The quantity you want is so large, I will never charge you more. How about it be 20% cheaper than the previous price?" the shopkeeper said flatteringly.
"Thirty percent!" Chu Yiqing countered.
The shopkeeper felt a little distressed. When he saw Chu Yiqing turning around and leaving, he quickly chased after her: "Okay, okay, okay, who said Miss Chu is a big customer? 30% success!"
Chu Yiqing paid a deposit of one hundred taels of silver and said: "You must have the same quality as this one. Don't fool me just because it's cheap. Do you understand? I will take this one back first, and I will talk to you later."
Let’s compare the ones delivered. If they are different, don’t blame me for not accepting the goods when the time comes!”
The ceramic shopkeeper nodded quickly, with sweat breaking out on his forehead, thinking to himself, this Miss Chu is really good at business!
On the way back, Chu Yiqing ordered Yingqian again: "You will go find a mason later and build all the useless rockeries and ponds in the Chu Mansion's backyard into wing rooms. If you harvest so many vegetables at once, you will need too much space to store them."
!”
Yingqian nodded quickly.
"Also, you have to know clearly how much it costs to do each thing, so that I can price the vegetables later!" Chu Yiqing slowly raised his lips and smiled, but this time he didn't let her get angry.
Make a fortune!
"Yes, Miss!" Yingqian responded quickly.
From that day on, the Chu Mansion began to get busy. Chu Yiqing took Guo Huai, Liu Changfa, Yuan Mutou and others to collect vegetables in the fields. Because the vegetables were grown by Guo Huai and others, they naturally knew which ones were of good quality.
Chu Yiqing specializes in selecting good quality, and in the mansion, Hua ** takes the women to do the preparation work, prepares meals for the people who build the houses, collects the wheat straw and burns it into ashes, and then mixes it with the excrement of domestic animals. Because this is not the case in the house.
Chu Han, these wheat straws and excrement need to be bought. Ying Qian records every expense in detail.
"Hua**, what do you think Miss Chu is going to do?" Shan Qin couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Don't ask around. You've been here for a long time. Don't you know that Miss Chu doesn't like people asking about you? Just lead people to do your own thing. Don't worry, if things are done well, the girl will be rewarded!"
With Lady Ling Dang away, all matters in the house are handled by Mr. Hua. Mr. Hua now has the air of a master again, and talks and acts differently!
