Zhuang Keqing wanted to show the sincerity of Erli Village. She followed the inspection standards of previous leaders and put forward her own ideas with the village chief and villagers.
After hearing what she said, everyone agreed and asked Shen Ling to write the words of welcome on paper and take them away, saying that they wanted to let the owner of Wufuji feel the strength of Erli Village.
As a result, when she came to Shufang early in the morning, she saw a four-character "Warm Welcome" banner hung high at the gate, made of plain gray cloth and scraps of notes scraped from nowhere, sewn word by word, and a banner with the words "Warm Welcome" in her hand. The girls and boys holding cloth flowers had runny noses and flushed cheeks from the cold.
Zhuang Keqing couldn't help but raise his forehead.
What does this mean?
Don't scare people away! Hey!
There is no other way. Come on, go back and get some sweet potato wine. At any rate, I will give Master Zuo and the shopkeepers a cup later to give them some courage.
Here, Lao Yu drove the carriage, and with the help of several men headed by Wang Da, shivering, he successfully stopped the carriage in front of the door of the potato farm.
"Welcome, welcome! Warmly welcome!"
The girls and boys obviously lacked practice, and the greetings they shouted were all uneven, sparse, high and low, and a few even used the cloth in their hands to wipe their noses in front of Lao Yu.
Zhuang Keqing was ashamed, but he still had to look very happy and walked to the carriage of the Five Blessings together with the village chief.
Lao Yu has been silent, but the people inside are not deaf either. Shopkeeper Hu and big shopkeeper Pan Ren frowned when they heard the voice. On the contrary, Zuo Jin, after what he had just done, was extremely calm and even The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
Shopkeeper Hu carefully opened the curtain, stuck his head out to take a look, and almost got out of the car without being frightened.
But at this time, Zhuang Keqing was already waiting not far from the carriage, so he had no choice but to get out of the carriage and open the curtain for his boss and the shopkeeper.
Zuo Jin got out of the car, and the welcome sound in his ears could be heard more clearly. It was like a magic sound piercing his ears.
But he didn't change his expression, walked forward with a smile, and smiled at the two people who were already waiting for him.
"Hello, Miss Zhuang, this old man must be the village chief."
As he said this, he bowed slightly and bowed slightly.
The village chief was flattered, and after hurriedly returning the courtesy, he couldn't help but look at the other person carefully.
This was the first time he met the owner of Five Fortunes.
I had always thought that the other party was an old guy about the same age as myself, but who knew he was so young.
Not only does he have a gentle appearance, but he also has this kind of demeanor, which is not what an ordinary businessman would have?
The village chief looked back at the village boy behind him who was wiping his fingers, wiping his nose and shouting "welcome", and for a moment he regretted having made such a fuss.
Oh~ how embarrassing this is!
Beside him, Zhuang Keqing noticed the village chief's embarrassment, so he stepped forward, took over the burden of entertaining guests, and went in to invite people.
"You're welcome, Master Zuo. The village chief has been waiting for you for a long time."
She glanced at Gouzi who was standing aside. Gouzi quickly came forward, picked up the small wine jar and cup in his hand, and brought them to Zhuang Keqing.
"I also invited the young master to take a sip of the welcome wine, which is a sign of your gratitude to us, the villagers of Erli Village."
While talking, he didn't give Zuo Jin and the shopkeepers a chance to refuse. He filled the wine glasses directly in front of them and handed them over.
“It’s hard to deny hospitality.”
A smile appeared on Zuo Jin Duan's square face, he calmly took the wine glass, raised his head and drank it all.
"good!"
The men around him applauded.
They saw that the shopkeeper of Wufu Ji was young and had an extraordinary temperament. He was a little shy at first and was afraid to move forward. But unexpectedly, he drank wine very freely. He didn't seem to mean to look down on them at all, so they immediately took a liking to him.
Another level up.
Later, when the boss and shopkeeper Hu saw that their bosses were all drinking, they also raised their glasses and drank, and received another round of applause.
After drinking this wine, the surrounding atmosphere became more lively, and even the banners hung in front of the sweet potato shop and the children welcoming in front of the door no longer seemed so strange.
Zhuang Keqing took this opportunity and invited the Five Blessings people into the sweet potato workshop.
The interior of the house had obviously just been cleaned and simply decorated.
There is a long square table in the middle, with three chairs on each side of the long table. There is no fire pit in the room, but a brazier has been lit. At this time, the firewood inside is burning vigorously, and occasionally there are a few beeps of exploding grease.
Voice.
Zhuang Keqing asked the three people from Zuo Jin to take their seats first, and then he, the village chief and Shen Lingcai sat down on the other side.
As soon as the few people started talking, the door of the sweet potato shop was closed, the sparse welcome outside also stopped, and it was too quiet for a while.
"I came today to confirm the details of the last negotiation. If there are no problems, we can sign the contract."
Zuo Jin got straight to the point and raised the issue directly. On the other side, Pan Ren, the big shopkeeper, also took out the list he had drawn up last time. Some places on it were circled and obviously had been modified.
Zhuang Keqing knew very well that in business, even if Wufuji liked his wine-making recipe, he must have hoped to get more terms that were beneficial to him.
If it was just her who suffered some losses, it would be okay to let them do it. However, she must not give in when it comes to the interests of the villagers.
The door of the sweet potato shop was closed, and there was no sound inside. The girls and boys outside had already received the candy candies and went back, while some of the other villagers were still watching silently, while others ran further away.
The place started chatting.
"What do you think this can be achieved?"
"How can we know this? But with the village girl here, our Erli Village will not suffer a loss."
We were talking about business matters in a formal manner.
But there were some unmarried girls from the aunts and daughters-in-law who gathered together and began to praise Zuo Jin's appearance.
“I didn’t expect the owner of Five Fortunes to be so young!”
"He has a good temperament and looks very polite."
"I somehow feel that he is more handsome than Shen Xiaolang."
"Hey, don't talk nonsense. Shen Xiaolang is just poorly dressed and only looks at his face. How can he be worse than that young man?"
Everyone gathered around and talked happily, and in the potato shop, Zuo Jin and Zhuang Keqing finally completed the contract and signed and signed it.
On the Five Blessings side, Zuo Jin naturally came forward, while on the Erli Village side, the village chief came forward.
From beginning to end, any content in this contract has nothing to do with Zhuang Keqing.
But she always participated with a smile on her face, and even breathed a sigh of relief after both parties signed the contract and each put away the deed.
"Why is the girl so relieved?"
Zuo Jin arched his eyebrows and smiled like a fox.
He asked knowingly.
Zhuang Keqing was about to answer, but Shen Ling took over and answered for her.
"My wife has a kind heart, and she should do what she has received and repaid. She just wants to be clear in her heart."
Zuo Jin was stunned. He didn't expect that this young man was completely different from the gentle and peaceful boy he saw last time. Instead, he was tit for tat with him, looking slightly wary.
Wife?
He thought about it again.
So that’s it, I’m afraid it’s chaos caused by caring.
Seeing the intense heat hidden in the depths of his eyes under the indifferent expression of the young man in front of him, Zuo Jin understood.
Miss Zhuang's young husband-in-law was really deeply in love with her.
But, is it inappropriate to direct this anger at yourself?
He just saw that Miss Zhuang was so smart and smart, and he had the heart to make friends with her.
Moreover, he is a businessman, so how can he not win over any seemingly valuable connections?
Young, still too young!
He shook his head repeatedly in his mind, but he didn't know that his appearance made people feel uneasy. Even the village chief felt vaguely that something was wrong.
However, no matter how Zuo Jin and Shen Ling had been turbulent before, the contract between Wufu Ji and Erli Village was successfully signed, and the fifty taels for the acquisition of Shufang were properly collected by the village chief, waiting for the next spring to mark the land.
The winery is built!
When the villagers learned that this had happened, they all cheered and rejoiced.
Their Erli Village will be prosperous next year!
Here, the village chief invited Zuo Jin and others into his home to entertain them. However, while the whole village was in high spirits, the second room of the banker's house was filled with gloom and mist.
"Ouch~Ouch~"
Continuous screams of pain came from the back room where the banker's old lady Qian lived. From time to time, these low screams would be raised twice, as sharp as a whistle, and the excitement would make people and gods explode.
Everyone in the family has been walking on tiptoes these past few days, not daring to make any sound for fear of making the old lady uncomfortable.
"Master, why don't you go ask Liu Da to take some time to sit on the kang? Look at my mother's legs."
Mrs. Li frowned, with a sad look on her face.
Zhuang Er and his wife stayed in front of the bed all day long, but the old lady's legs were not getting better either. On the contrary, they were getting swollen and bigger, and she was worried.
"What weird things did you two say to me again? Do you think your mother is old and useless?!"
