Chapter 20 The Big Deal

Zhao Changsheng followed his father's instructions, and as soon as lunch was over, he took his servants back to the place where he bought dried tofu.

But there was no one else there. There was only a man who sold farm tools next door.

He was so anxious that he suddenly remembered that when he had just come to buy things, the rattan on the cart of the man had not been sold out. If he was coming to the town to sell goods, he would not leave until they were sold out.

Calculating the time in my mind, that family must not be far away yet!

He directly took out 2 cents from his wallet, handed it to the man who was still guarding the farm tools, and asked: "Where did that family go just now?"

The man got the reward for no reason, so he was very attentive. He quickly stood up and pointed him in the direction: "My dear husband, they went in that direction. From the accent, they should be from near Sanlin Village. I have a nephew who married that person."

The wife next to me talks exactly like them!"

Zhao Changsheng didn't have time to listen to him introducing his family members here. He just nodded and led his servants in the direction pointed by the man.

The two hurriedly chased all the way, and finally found Liu Zhuzhu's family at the gate of the city.

"Uncle! Uncle, wait!" Zhao Changsheng shouted.

Liu Zhuzhu concentrated on pushing the cart and didn't pay attention at all. Even when he heard the people behind him shouting urgently, he didn't look back.

He didn't know anyone in the town, so how could anyone call him?

However, Aunt Li felt that the voice sounded familiar. When she turned around, she saw the young man who had bought his dried tofu in the morning running from a distance, shouting "Uncle, wait a minute."

"Hey, boss, please stop."

After hearing his wife's words, Liu Zhuzhu stopped and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Look, is that the young man who bought dried tofu this morning?" Aunt Li asked, pointing to the man running closer and closer.

Liu Zhuzi took a closer look: "Oh, it's true!"

In my ears, I kept hearing the voice of the other party calling me "uncle".

Could this be calling me? After thinking about it, he leaned the cart against the wall and stopped leaving.

When Zhao Changsheng saw several people stopping, he stopped shouting and slowed down.

He almost lost his temper along the way. He ran so fast that he almost lost track of his servants. Now that he finally caught up with them, his head relaxed and his abdomen felt a dull pain.

With his hand on his belly, he moved step by step to the wall and bowed his hands to the family in front of him as a greeting.

"My dear husband, what do you want from me?"

Liu Zhuzhu thought it was the bean curd man who was unhappy with his profits and came to him to compensate him, so he felt guilty when he asked.

Zhao Changsheng didn't have time to speak, so he took a few quick breaths and finally spoke after regaining his breath.

"Uncle, can you sell me all the dried tofu and tofu skin?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Zhuzhu and Aunt Li looked at each other and pulled Zhuang Keqing over in unison.

"Girl, he said he wants to buy your dried tofu and tofu skin! It's all included!" Aunt Li said in an excited voice.

Just when Zhao Changsheng called them, it attracted a lot of people's attention, and this call made others even more curious.

Why do you have to buy something in such a hurry and then ask for it all?

Those who had something good to say gathered around me one after another, wanting to see what kind of rare thing it was that could attract people to buy it.

Zhuang Keqing didn't expect this at all, and was even a little surprised.

But the panting young man in front of me did say that he wanted to buy them all.

"Do you really want it all?" She turned around and asked.

"Of course, not only do I want them all, I also want to order some with you!" Zhao Changsheng finally calmed down at this time and put out his request directly: "Can you deliver the goods? Once every ten days, deliver some.

For dried tofu and tofu skin, in addition to the original price, I will pay an extra 50 yuan of hard-earned money."

The people around me couldn't help but take a breath, what kind of expensive thing is this? The fee for running errands is only 50 Wen! How can there be such an easy-to-make business!

Zhuang Keqing was also shocked by the other party's wealth, not to mention Aunt Li's family.

"Then you pay for these dried tofu skin first?"

"Can!"

Seeing that the other party answered readily, Zhuang Keqing took out the dried tofu skins wrapped in lotus leaves from the cart and counted them one by one in front of everyone.

"There are 17 pieces of dried tofu and 16 pieces of tofu skin in total. The dried tofu is 1 Wen per piece and the tofu skin is 4 Wen per piece. It is 81 Wen in total. Just pay me 80 Wen." She took the initiative to wipe off the change and put the things back.

Wrapped it up and handed it over.

Signaling his servants to take it, Zhao Changsheng took 80 Wen from his wallet and handed it to Zhuang Keqing.

Seeing that this girl was happy doing business, he was quite happy to deal with her.

"From now on, you can send 20 pieces of dried tofu and 20 pieces of tofu skin to Zhao's house on Quanshui Street every ten days, and someone will pay you wages."

"Is this settled?" Zhuang Keqing confirmed.

"That's settled!" Zhao Changsheng replied.

"What do you call the young master?" It was the first time that she came out and got such a big deal at once. Zhuang Keqing was still cautious. She was afraid that people would promise a bad check, so she thought it would be better to ask more clearly. Otherwise, when the time comes, the family will not give it to them.

Admittedly, even if asked who ordered the goods, she couldn't tell.

"Ha, are you afraid that I won't keep my promise? In that case, we will make a promise."

The servants who had been prepared for a long time brought the writing brush and paper at the right time. Zhao Changsheng didn't care about the place, he just lay on the cart and wrote the contract, and finally signed his name.

After writing, he handed the paper to the girl in front of him and only said: "When the time comes, just take this and send it directly. I have clearly written down the hard work fee in it, so I won't short-change you."

Zhuang Keqing took the paper and saw that the time, goods, and money were written clearly and properly on it, so he really believed this person.

After collecting the note, she smiled and gave Zhao Changsheng a blessing and said, "Thanks for your patronage, I will deliver it on time."

Zhao Changsheng completed his errand and was very satisfied. After getting the promise, he didn't stay long, said hello and left.

People gathered around and could see clearly.

The food that the young man bought just now is not expensive at 1 cent a piece. Since it is so delicious, you can buy it yourself and try it. Unfortunately, today's food is all wrapped up, so we can only wait for this little girl in the second half of the year.

I tried it when I came for delivery.

The greedy one said directly: "Little girl, please bring more next time. I also want to try what this dried tofu tastes like!"

"Yeah, yeah, bring more, I want to try it too."

"It's not expensive anyway, but it's only 1 penny a piece, so our family can afford it."

The people around you say something to me and ask her to agree.

Seeing that so many people were curious, Zhuang Keqing followed the trend. She looked around the crowd, smiled slightly and said: "Thank you for your love, since everyone is interested, I will bring more in the second half of the year, and then I will be there."

There is a stall in the south of the town, everyone should patronize it~"

"That's right, as long as you come, I will definitely buy it."

Seeing that the little girl agreed, everyone was satisfied. It wasn't until the crowd gradually dispersed that Zhuang Keqing and Aunt Li's family continued on their way.

But she didn't know that this scene was seen by Aunt Wang, and she felt envious and jealous in her heart. Today her eldest son worked hard to carry two loads of firewood, but the price was 20 cents. Zhuang Keqing was better, even the errand fee was 50 cents.

Wen, I’m really pissed off!
