After a few days of busy work, the delivery date agreed with Zhao Changsheng arrived in a blink of an eye.
Zhuang Keqing had greeted Aunt Li's family a few days in advance and wanted to borrow Uncle Liu's cart.
"You girl, you just borrowed a cart, how can you still push it!" Aunt Li stood up and scolded her: "I told the boss a long time ago that I will go with you when the time comes. Is it okay?
By the way, help me sell Xiuhuo!"
Knowing that Aunt Li had good intentions, Zhuang Keqing stopped refusing. Moreover, the trolley was heavy and heavy, and she couldn't push it by herself. She wanted to go to Zhang's house to ask a young man to help, but since Aunt Li had already arranged it,
Then next time.
It's just that this business requires three trips a month. I can't let Uncle Liu help me every time. I have to find a way.
Now in the village, the only people who can talk to her family are the Liu family and the Zhang family. It's better to go to the carpenter's place, order a cart, and promise the Zhang family some money, then hire someone to go with her.
Go to town to deliver goods.
She made up her mind, but Zhuang Keqing did not tell Aunt Li. It was not because she was afraid that Aunt Li would say that she was cheating, but it was just a matter of asking for help once or twice. If it was taken as a matter of course, it would take a long time.
, will always annoy people.
Early that morning, Zhuang Keqing met Uncle Liu at the same place.
Compared with the light basket she carried last time, she had a lot more stuff this time.
Since he had long planned to open up the tofu market in the town, Zhuang Keqing worked hard this time. Not only did he prepare the promised dried tofu skin, but he also packed thousands of sheets, vegetarian chicken and other new products. Unfortunately, he was afraid of the bumpy road and damage to the tofu market.
The shape of the soft tofu was different, so I only brought one plate of soft tofu, but I had more old tofu, so I took two plates.
The mother and daughter carried the things onto the cart, and Qin Manzhi stuffed some noodles and soy milk for her daughter and Liu Zhuzi.
"Ke'er, I'll leave it to you on the way."
Although it was Zhuang Keqing's second time to go to the town, it was not a big gathering time and there were few people traveling with her on the road, so she was still a little worried.
"Sister-in-law Qin, don't worry, as long as I'm here, there won't be any problems. The girl is so capable, I think it will go smoothly this time."
Liu Zhuzhu understood the feelings of being a parent, so he expressed relief.
"Mom, it's getting late, we have to leave." Zhuang Keqing finally spoke, and Qin Manzhi let go of his hand, reluctantly watching the two of them leave.
In fact, she really wanted to go with her daughter, but she had a tofu business at home and Aman to take care of, so she couldn't leave. She could only hope that they would go well today and come back early.
Liu Zhuzhu was used to pushing carts, and Zhuang Keqing had the experience of rushing last time, so his speed was much faster this time. Before dawn, the two of them arrived outside the city gate of Songling Town.
Today was not a day for a big market, so the door was quite deserted. Two sleepy-eyed guards were standing guard at the door, yawning. When they saw them, they briefly inspected the goods on the cart, collected the money and let them in.
"Girl Zhuang, should we deliver the goods first or sell the goods first?" Liu Zhuzhu didn't have an idea. Besides, this business was not his own, and he couldn't make the decision.
"Then let's go to Quanshui Street first. Although it's still early, the young master has servants at home. Even if we go early, we won't be able to disturb the master's rest." Zhuang Keqing thought for a while and replied.
"Then it's up to you." As he said that, Liu Zhuzi grabbed a breakfast vendor on the side of the road, asked him about the location of Quanshui Street, pushed the cart and left.
Quanshui Street is located east of the center of Songling Town. It is quite secluded. The entire street is paved with neat bluestone slabs. Some residents have planted some flowers and plants at the door, and some have placed ornaments. It is the same as other places in the town.
The place is very different.
After all, they arrived too early and the whole street wasn't awake yet.
"Which family is the Zhao family?" Liu Zhuzi pushed a cart and searched each house.
When he just asked for directions, they didn't know which house the Zhao family was. They just asked him to go to Quanshui Street to find it by himself. They also said that he would know it at a glance. At this time, he saw some lanterns hung in front of the doors of each house, and some hung lanterns.
I saw the sign and there were words written on it, so I wondered if these were the last names of the residents?
"Oh, I don't know a word. It's so early in the morning and there's no one on the street. How can we find the Zhao family?" Liu Zhuzhu shook his head in annoyance. Liu Zhuzhu was a little anxious. He originally wanted to finish delivering the goods earlier, and he
My daughter and I were still able to get a good spot on South Street to sell tofu, but I'm afraid it won't be possible now.
"Uncle Liu, don't worry. I have the note that the young master gave me last time. It has his name on it. We will know it right away." Zhuang Keqing smiled, pretending to take out the note and pointed to the signature on it.
I looked for the character Zhao.
Liu Zhuzhu followed behind and sighed.
Otherwise, the wife would say that the banker's girl is smart, her brain is much brighter than his, and she is a business material.
Not long after, Zhuang Keqing found the Zhao family's house number.
The family's courtyard door facing the street is not too small. There are hollow stone lanterns on the left and right sides of the door. There is a pool of candles inside, and there are stone plaques hanging on the four raised corners, with the Chinese character Zhao on them.
Quite unique.
Zhuang Keqing found it quite interesting.
After calling Uncle Liu behind her to park the trolley, she stepped forward and patted the lion's-mouth bronze door buckle.
Not long after, they heard a series of soft footsteps coming from inside, and then the door opened with a creak.
It was a young disciple who came, no more than 20 years old. At this time, there were still physical tears shed from yawning in the corners of his eyes.
He tilted his head and saw a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old girl and a man outside. He was a little confused as to what the other party was doing so early in the morning.
"Are you delivering food? Why is it so early today?" He rubbed his eyes and stretched again.
"You have to go through the back door to deliver food, why are you here?" He glanced at the pile of things on the cart, and then said: "Forget it, put the things at the door first, I will have people come to carry them later, you go first
Let’s go.”
"Huh? But!" Liu Zhuzi jumped up after hearing Menzi's words.
Why do you just leave your things and leave without paying the promised money? You can't default on it!
Zhuang Keqing knew as soon as he saw what the other person was saying that he didn't know that he was going to deliver the goods today, so he grabbed the sleeve of Uncle Liu, who was obviously a little excited, and explained: "This little brother, I'm really sorry, we are of the same rank."
The owner of the house made an appointment to deliver the dried beans, and he said he would deliver them on the same day and settle the payment."
As she said that, she took out the note that Zhao Changsheng wrote that day and handed it to the disciple for him to take a look.
After hearing the word "dougan", Menzi already understood something, but he still took the note and read it clearly before handing it back to Zhuang Keqing.
"Even so, you can come with me, but you can't go through the front door next time. I will show you the back door later, and you can go through there next time."
Zhuang Keqing and the other two nodded in agreement, and then Liu Zhuzhu was about to push the car in.
The door immediately stopped.
"Hey? What are you doing! How can this cart go through the gate! Let's do this, one of you can get your things and go in with me!"
