Very quickly, Qin Chunshu ran down from the second floor. "Jin"zhi, why are you here? Coincidentally, our manager said that he wanted to recruit someone who could still read, so he ran around the second floor. He ran over and pa.s.sionately hooked his arm around Mu Jinzhi"s shoulder. Chinese toon, didn"t you see me? " Mu Rousang stood on his tiptoes and shook him by the sleeve, "Ah, Rosin, you"re here too. Jin"zhi, did you bring her over?" He knew that Mu Jinzhi was so poor that he could not even afford to eat. There was no way that he would get a ride on an ox-cart to enter the town."Yes, we came here on foot. Chinese toon, am I that bad?" Mu Rousang said arrogantly. You"re praising me, right? Qin Chunshu laughed and said, "Yes, Rosin is really dangerous." However, she was worried in her heart, if Mu Jinzhi stayed here to visit, no one would take care of her, and the shop would not keep her, she was too young, and also a girl.
Mu Jinzhi remembered something he had to do, "Ah, Chinese toon, yesterday we …" Mu Rousang thought about how he forgot to tell his brother on the way there, she squeezed between the two of them and interrupted Mu Jinzhi"s words, "Brother Chinese toon, is your shopkeeper here? It looked like she was just telling you not to tell anyone else. If she were to sell his dishes to this restaurant, Qin Chunshu would definitely know how much they were selling it for.
"What did you say? You guys …" His premonition was not wrong. These siblings were not dragons and phoenixes in the pond, so sooner or later, they would flourish. Fortunately, he had already told his mother to take care of these two siblings before he left. Yes, yes, Brother and sister nodded in agreement, indicating that this was indeed the case.
"Follow me, I"ll go get the shopkeeper." Qin Chunshu brought the two of them to a small room, it was a place used to doing odd things, "Wait here for a while, I"ll go find Manager Wu."
Seeing that there was no one around, Mu Jinzhi asked, "Little sister, why didn"t you say that the dishes are …" Mu Rousang had already thought of a way to deal with this, "Brother, do you think they will believe us if we speak the truth? They might even suspect that our hands and feet were dirty, and might even say that they were planted by us. Furthermore, the dishes in the vegetable garden at home can be eaten after ten days. "
Mu Jinzhi rubbed his nose, he really did not know. Ever since that day when he went to look around the garden, it had indeed been helped by someone else. It had always been Mu Rousang who took care of it, and he had never once asked about it. " I know! Little sister, this must have been something mother taught you right? If mother was still here, how great would it be! "Manager Wu did not look smart at all. He had a fat face and a big belly. He wore a large, sack-colored silk shirt with wide sleeves. Panting, he held his stomach with his hands and said, "I heard from Chun that you were looking for me. What"s the matter?" Mu Rousang didn"t believe that Qin Chunshu didn"t tell him what they were here for.
She leisurely walked over and said, "Of course it"s to talk about what we should talk about." The Manager Wu stroked his moustache, "Interesting." Mu Rousang did not fight with him over Tai Ji, but walked over to the basket and said, "Is it interesting, Manager Wu will know after seeing it!" A basket of lush green vegetables appeared in front of him.
After gnawing on Dong"s meat, the moment he saw the vegetables, even Manager Wu could not help but swallow his saliva. Seeing that he had already taken the bait, Mu Jinzhi unhurriedly said, "Ah, shopkeeper, such a good vegetable, if you add two jugs of wine to the hot pot and pour it into the pot, drinking from it while eating the wine, the fragrant aroma, just watch as the vegetables roll a few times inside, it"s so sweet and crisp, shopkeeper, this is truly the most beautiful thing in my life."
"Hehe, that"s not true!" Uh, after saying that, he wanted to smack his own mouth. Sigh, he lost to two little ghosts. Seeing that he was upset, Mu Rousang thought that they would have to deal with him in the future, so he could not force him too much. She smiled and said to Manager Wu, "Manager is a person who knows how to enjoy himself, you can tell with one glance that he is blessed. I see that there are a lot of elders who like to eat and drink in the town, they must be extremely similar to Manager Wu!" No matter how much you wore, you wouldn"t be able to do it.
Manager Wu was initially upset by Mu Rousang"s quick reply, but hearing Mu Rousang"s words, he laughed, "Little girl, you seem to be quite the talkative one, just because of this, I will take the dishes today. As for the price, we can discuss it. This kind of dish will be difficult for your family"s adults to obtain. How about this, I will pay you eight gold coins per catty? " The two siblings did not say a word, but stared at Manager Wu with their clear and limpid eyes, until Manager Wu felt embarra.s.sed.
Manager Wu"s old face was a little hot, even if a few more days pa.s.sed, these vegetables would still be worth 8% of the money. His offer was a bit cheap. Of course, both sides were testing each other. Mu Rousang sighed and did not say anything. Mu Jinzhi shook her head, "Sigh, shopkeeper, we only earn a lot of money. Since last year"s heavy snow that sealed off our path, let alone such delicate vegetables, we can"t even find a single piece of yellowish leaf on the market. It"s also because the Chinese toon said that the Manager Wu is the most sincere and treats them extremely well. I just brought the dishes to you with my sister. "
Mu Rousang rolled her little eyes and intentionally pulled on Mu Jinzhi"s sleeve, "Brother, that waiter who said he was going against me just now asked me." Mu Jinzhi pretended to ask her, "When did I become unaware of this matter?" Mu Rousang tilted her head, pretending to be innocent, "That, is when I was talking to Chinese toon. He still wants to see the things in the basket."
When the Manager Wu saw that the Brother and sister"s explanation was clear, he became anxious. Tomorrow is the sixtieth birthday of the mayor"s mother, so the feast was ordered here. If he could add this green dish, not only would he have a lot of silver, but he could also give the mayor a lot of face. This was the most important thing.Manager Wu was afraid that his nemesis would really s.n.a.t.c.h all the vegetables, and when they have the vegetables, he would ruin this business. Thinking about how these two children were young, he thought that they would probably be very happy if they were to give him ten gold coins and a catty, "How about this, I"ll pay you two gold coins for one catty more, what do you think?" He waved two fat fingers in front of the siblings.
Mu Rousang realised that she was still talking about the increase in prices, so the owner opened his mouth first. It seemed that he had something urgent to ask of her. Brother, I remember that little brother said that if there are any vegetables in the market, he would like us to send them to his house. Boss, the Chinese toon has told us that you are a very good person, I just want to sell it to you, but this price … Because of Chinese toon, even if we don"t deliver it to the restaurant across the street, if we sell it in the market, the price would probably be … "
Manager Wu secretly sighed, the two siblings were so smart at such a young age, yet they already had the intention to befriend him. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Why don"t we add another three coins! No matter how expensive it was, it wasn"t worth much. As of now, the price of pork was only fifteen cents per catty. To be honest, if I didn"t have something that I needed urgently, I wouldn"t have offered that price. "
Mu Rousang looked at Mu Jinzhi, and nodded: "Even so, the boss is a straightforward person, we will not beat around the bush, why not find someone to serve all the dishes." The Manager Wu called the waiter of the shop over and weighed the vegetables, making a total of fifty-two catties. Mu Rousang thought that this boss was not stingy, she did not want to be that disgusting person, "Manager Wu, I see that you are a generous person, why not wipe off your hair and add some food for you, what do you think!"
Manager Wu was overjoyed, "Sure, sure, sure. Even so, I will not be unreasonable, and just do as little miss says." He picked up the abacus on the table and pulled it out for a while, "It just so happens that there"s a total of 650 pieces of paper!" Mu Rousang thought about the things she still had to do later, so she asked Manager Wu to give him six strings of hundred paper coins, and half a string of fifty paper coins.There was also a pretty big bag of them in his hands. Mu Jinzhi placed them in the basket and covered them with crushed gra.s.s. He quietly told Mu Rousang that he would lead her away later and told her to be careful not to be seen by others.
After he was done with his business, Mu Rousang thought of the more than one acre of small vegetables in his house. Seeing that the Manager Wu was here, he felt refreshed, and started to plan, "Innkeeper, I still have some vegetables at home, I can probably pick a batch in around ten days, I don"t know …."
Manager Wu"s eyes flashed, glad that he didn"t push the price to the death just now. He had looked carefully before. These vegetables were very fresh, if he could reserve her dishes first. "When he thought of that stinking face of his sworn enemy, his heart felt incomparably carefree." Little girl, tell uncle how many vegetables you have. "Also, you can talk it over with me. What if your family"s adults don"t agree?"
The Manager Wu felt that it would be better to talk to the masters of her family. Mu Rousang didn"t dare to let him know that the masters of his family had all pa.s.sed away. If they were familiar with each other in the future, it would be a different story. Mu Jinzhi stood out, "Manager, I can make the decision regarding my family." He avoided matters regarding his parents and only mentioned the matter that the Manager Wu was most concerned about. This was something that he had discussed with Mu Rousang on the way here.
Manager Wu opened his small eyes. In the ancient times, the children of the poor could still manage their own businesses. Even a child like Mu Jinzhi could manage their own businesses. Therefore, he did not become suspicious, "In that case, why don"t we talk about the price! Ten days later, this vegetable still hasn"t been listed on the market. If it"s still the same color as today, I"ll buy it at the same price. How about it? " After eating all winter"s worth of fat, everyone had long grown tired of eating. Being able to eat a few fresh vegetables was an extremely difficult task. With this vegetable as a signboard, his business for this period of time would definitely be better than the restaurant across the street.Mu Jinzhi felt that there were no problems, so he nodded and said to the Manager Wu, "That"s it, why not, we will sign the contract, that way everyone can be at ease." Manager Wu felt that it was more and more strange. These two siblings were dressed differently, and from the looks of their actions and speech, they were not ordinary people. In terms of business, even if Mu Jinzhi had brought it up first, he would still be happy to avoid trouble. After signing the contract, he did not need to worry about Mu Jinzhi and the others breaking the contract.
Seeing that everything had been completed, Mu Jinzhi was prepared to leave with Mu Rousang. It was his first time carrying so much "huge sum of money", and he was actually very excited. If not for the fact that he was still at Manager Wu, he would have jumped in joy long ago. Before Mu Rousang left, he said to the shopkeeper, "Manager Wu, in ten days, I will bring the dishes here with my brother." The Manager Wu reminded them, "This matter must not be spread out!" He waited for the vegetable and pressed down on the restaurant opposite him.
Mu Jinzhi and Mu Rousang then promised to keep the secret for him. Manager Wu was still worried, so he brought the two of them through the kitchen and left through the back gate. Just as Mu Rousang was planning to go shopping, the two of them bade farewell to Manager Wu and started walking towards the market.This time, he earned a total of 650 gold coins from selling the dishes. Mu Jinzhi carried a huge sum of money. With this money, his sister would not be starving this winter. Mu Rousang looked at the patched clothes on her body. This was already the best clothes for her and Mu Jinzhi. Compared to the "Knife Face" style, this was much better. The two of them walked out of the back yard and found a place to hide. Mu Jinzhi prepared to put away the big bag of copper coins. His legs were still shaking, happy and afraid of discovery.
Mu Rousang was speechless, "Brother, you don"t have to worry. Why don"t you give me half of the copper coin and then divide the other half into two and put one into the basket for you to carry?" Mu Jinzhi looked at her. Compared to last time, Mu Rousang"s skin was a lot whiter and more tender. In addition to her body, she was much shorter than normal people of the same age.
After the two of them split the money, Mu Jinzhi warned again and again. Little Sister, you must be careful, don"t let the pickpockets find out! " "It would be weird if he could steal her money, she had already thrown it into her pocket." Hehe, bro, don"t worry, we"ll be just like usual, who"s going to find out. "
Only then did Mu Jinzhi relax and hold her hand, walking towards the market. Mu Rousang thought for a while, "Brother, let"s go and tear off some clothes!" Mu Jinzhi was hesitating, Mu Rousang was looking at him with his big and bright eyes, "En, then let"s drag this onto little sister, and ask Qin Er for help when we get back."
