The Chinese New Year is almost here, and every household is not so busy.
Now that the snow has melted, the only work I do during the day is to plow the fields for next year's planting, or go into the mountains to chop firewood for home use.
At this time, the older elders were resting at home, leaving their strong sons and grandsons to dig the soil.
Mr. Wang is no exception, not to mention he is also the village chief.
When Chen Hu came to the door, Mr. Wang thought he had made a mistake. It was not until Chen Hu actually walked into the yard that Mr. Wang was sure that Chen Hu was really here to see him.
Chen Hu also smiled and said to Mr. Wang: "My lord, I came to see you today because I want to buy something from your house."
"What is it? Tell me about it."
Mr. Wang asked lightly, after Chen Hu moved out, not only was he not sad, he also settled down. Everyone knew that Su Sanlang helped, but as long as Su Sanlang was willing, who could say anything.
Chen Hu didn't mince words, he said bluntly: "The Grand Duke, I want to buy a thousand kilograms of vegetables. I am willing to pay a penny to buy a pound of vegetables. I thought the Grand Duke should have a lot of vegetables at home, so I came to buy them from you.
If your family is not enough, you can also introduce me to a few families."
Mr. Wang also asked about his doubts: "Little Huzi, one thousand kilograms of vegetables is a lot of food. What do you want with all these vegetables? Your family can't finish it. Even if you make dried vegetables, you don't know how many years it will last."
"
Chen Hu didn't hide it. He said: "My elder brother and I started a vegetable selling business. We didn't have enough vegetables to sell, so we wanted to buy some from people in the village."
"It turns out it's business, so that's no problem."
Mr. Wang knew that Chen Hu and Su Sanlang were sworn friends. The two families had a good relationship and they had to do business together normally.
One thousand catties, one penny per catty, is only one tael of silver. If you sell some of the vegetables at home, you will have enough money to buy some new year's goods. Anyway, there are so many vegetables, and you can't eat them all at home.
Chen Hu added: "My lord, let me say my ugly words first, so as not to hurt everyone later. As for vegetables, I don't want yellow leaves, rotten leaves and too tender hearts. The same is true for cabbage. The cabbage with the core is the best.
, I don’t want bad dishes.”
Even if it comes, he won't want it.
Mr. Wang knew that this was a business, and it was right for Chen Hu to ask. He nodded: "Okay, you bought it with money anyway, and my family can't afford that much. I'll find a few families, and each of them will give you two
Three hundred catties of vegetables, we are all fellow villagers, so just don’t pay on credit."
Chen Hu had demands, and of course he also had demands. Since it was a business, it must be money in one hand and goods in the other.
It wouldn't be fun if Chen Hu had to pay for the food even after they got it.
Chen Hu showed a smile and said: "I have brought all the money, and I will never give it on credit."
Chen Hu took out his money bag.
Mr. Wang took a look and saw that Chen Hu was a down-to-earth man, so he said nothing more. He shouted into the house: "Old woman, go get the basket and chop up two hundred kilograms of green cabbage leaves and several dozen kilograms of cabbage. Chen
If a tiger comes to buy it at home, you will be given one penny per catty."
"One penny per pound, okay, okay."
The Queen Mother's voice of agreement came from inside the house.
Mr. Wang himself said to Chen Hu: "Then go to my two brothers' houses and have a look. They have a lot of families. I can get the remaining few hundred kilograms from their homes."
Chen Hu nodded: "Okay, I'll trouble you to carry it to my house later."
Mr. Wang nodded, this is just a small matter, it doesn't matter if you memorize it.
Mr. Wang looked at Chen Hu beside him and suddenly said: "Little Huzi, do you really not regret it?"
Chen Hu was stunned for a moment and then smiled and said, "I don't regret it."
Mr. Wang sighed. Every family has a room that feels wronged and angry. This is most common among those with several sons.
The five fingers are divided into different lengths. It is very common to have a son you like and a son you don't like. There are also those who are kicked out, but there is no end to that.
Chen Hu and Su Sanlang are special cases.
It seems better now, but in the future, Mr. Wang glanced at Chen Hu and said: "Little Huzi, have you ever thought about the future? The children will be married when they grow up. The matchmaker will know in the future.
If your family doesn't have a clan, it will be very difficult for your children to get married."
Listening to what Mr. Wang said, Chen Hu just smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty, even if there is no way ahead, we will not look back."
Mr. Wang gave no more persuasion. After all, this was Chen Hu and Su Sanlang's own choice. If they insisted on taking this path, no one else could control it.
If you don't want to go back, let them go.
Among one thousand catties of green vegetables, there are four hundred catties of cabbage.
Chen Hu watched when the food was being weighed. He also checked it and found that it was all good food.
Chen Hu came to give them money. The Wang family all smiled and happily carried the vegetables to the yard of Su Sanlang's house.
Chen Hu also gave the money neatly.
After buying groceries, Chen Hu and Qian got busy.
——
As soon as Su Sanlang and his family arrived at the store, there were already customers waiting for them before it opened.
While chatting with Su Sanlang and his wife, "Your food is really delicious. It tastes completely different from what we cook at home. It's a bit more expensive. This is really the money you get from selling your craftsmanship."
The woman smiled as she talked. She was a regular customer. She bought it for the first time and ate it when she brought it home. She tried making it herself, but the taste was completely different.
So she became a regular customer of "Shiyouwei" and would buy a pound of it every day to cook.
Ms. Zhao also smiled and said, "As long as you like it."
While smiling, he opened the door of the shop and started weighing the dishes for the woman.
As soon as the store opened, customers came one after another to buy.
Su Sanlang also packed up his things and prepared to go to other restaurants and small restaurants to promote.
Ms. Zhao was guarding the shop with the children of two families.
Seeing an older man coming to buy, Mrs. Zhao asked with a gentle smile: "Uncle, what do you want to buy? We have three of them, and they all taste good. You can try them first before deciding whether to buy them or not."
Shopkeeper Niu looked at the woman and nodded: "Then let me try it first."
Mrs. Zhao took another sign for him.
Shopkeeper Niu noticed this detail and tasted it silently. The taste was exactly the same. Thinking that customers had been asking about sauerkraut and kimchi in the past few days, shopkeeper Niu put down the sign and said: "Where is your man? A few days ago.
He came to our Fumanlai Restaurant to promote it and said he still had some recipes, so I came to talk to him about something."
Sauerkraut and kimchi are both good. If you have a good recipe, you can bring many customers to the restaurant.
So after thinking for a few days, he decided to talk to Su Sanlang to see how this cooperation method would work out.
Mrs. Zhao didn't expect that she was from the restaurant. She was very happy, but Su Sanlang was not here now, so Mrs. Zhao said embarrassedly: "Uncle, he hasn't come back yet. It may take a while."
