Nongmen eldest sister: Farming and opening shops

Chapter 155 Gossip
"Hey, old lady, why are you always staring at other people? Let's just do our own business."

"I'm just a little annoyed. You said that their grocery store suddenly started selling roasted seeds and nuts, and took away our business. This little girl's craftsmanship is better than our decades-old craftsmanship."

"They run a grocery store, why can't they sell it? Don't keep staring at them, our business is fine."

"It's not bad, the business has been robbed by them these days, and we haven't made a few deals."

"Then what do you think, you can't learn his skills!"

Speaking of this, the woman became even more unhappy, and said a little angrily: "You said that a girl of how old is so defensive, no matter how hard I asked, I didn't ask anything."

"If I really want to tell you everything, I would be stupid."

"Which side do you belong to? Let me tell you what you say. You don't need to do business. This year's bandits will be troubled. The situation will not be good. If the business continues to be bleak, what will you eat and drink?"

"It's not that you can't even eat. We have been in business for decades, and there are still regular customers. They only sell two kinds of roasted seeds and nuts. Let's sell fresh ones."

"You really don't take it seriously!"

"Why don't you take it seriously? Don't you want to recruit them too? There's no way. Could it be that your family is only allowed to do the roasted seeds and nuts business? There is also a roasted seeds and nuts shop at the west end of the city. Why don't you mention them."

"You old man, you're turning your elbows out."

"I'm telling you not to worry about it. Don't look at just a few children. That's not easy to provoke. That Xu Hu who made trouble last time, several big men, haven't they all been cleaned up? You can be more serious than others. ability?"

When the woman heard this, she was stunned for a while, how could she forget about this, that is indeed not easy to mess with.

"Then don't care about it?"

"What can you do? They simply only do these two kinds of roasted seeds and nuts, so they won't be able to grab much business. We have been in business for decades, and there are many old customers, so the business will not fail."

"You're right."

She also thought about it, if the other party was really just a few ordinary children, she could still think of a way to squeeze her out, but they were not ordinary people, so she couldn't afford to provoke her, and the thought in her heart was quickly suppressed.

The business in the shop was good, other goods were sold one by one, so they couldn't get in for a while, but fried melon seeds and millet seeds were sold very hotly.

Lin Qinghe himself is a bit too busy, so he can't stay in the kitchen all day long.

Simply call Lin Da and the others over, and plan to hand over the work of frying melon seeds and millet seeds to them.

When Lin Da heard this, he couldn't help being a little surprised: "Why does the eldest lady suddenly want to teach these to the younger ones? Isn't that a secret recipe, and it's not passed on?"

Hearing this, Lin Qinghe wanted to laugh: "That girl Qingmiao can fool people, and this is not a great secret recipe. Besides, after you have learned it, will you spread it?"

Lin Da kept shaking his head: "That's definitely not the case. The younger ones are all masters, so naturally they are wholeheartedly loyal to the master."

"That's right, if you teach you things, you should study hard. These are profitable businesses in our shop. After you learn it, naturally you can't spread it to the outside world. I don't treat you as outsiders, but if any of you have a different heart, then I will tolerate it." Don't let him down."

Several people looked serious when they heard this, and quickly expressed their opinions, expressing that they had no second thoughts.

They are not stupid, she taught them step by step, and it didn't take long for them to learn all of them. Lin Qinghe checked the results and found no problems, so he left the job to them to take turns.

There was a need for mountain goods in the shop, so Xu Hu still took people to the villages to help collect them and deliver them to the shop.

"Little boss, I have good news for you. The magistrate of the county has decided to suppress the bandits. I heard that he is going to contact the other two counties, but I don't know if the masters of those two counties can send troops. If not, we can only fight in Nanping." The strength of a county in a county."

Lin Qinghe was not too surprised when he heard the news. The bandits are rampant like this. If they don't send troops to suppress the bandits, then there is a real problem. In this year, there is not such a big turmoil. There are a little more bandits, which probably means that the emperor is far away from the mountain, and the local officials are a little too weak.

It doesn't count as much peace, nor does it count as troubled times. The officials are either ineffective, or their strength is a bit weak. Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. Of course, they are determined to suppress the bandits. , and it is impossible to destroy it.

"You are very well informed!" Lin Qinghe glanced at him and asked, "Do you think the other two county magistrates will agree to send troops?"

She said that if the three counties were to send troops at the same time, those bandits would probably be easily captured. It would depend on whether the other two were willing to cooperate. If the problem could be solved at once, it would be a good thing for the country and the people.

Xu Hu then shook his head: "I don't think so, you don't know, when the two counties dispatched troops before, they also invited our former county magistrate, but he flatly refused, now although it is said that our county has changed a master, But who knows whether those two will hold grudges or not!"

Tsk, being an official can still be so capricious, Lin Qinghe couldn't help but sighed a long time, he felt a bit of the difficulties of the superiors, he wanted to estimate a good official, but no one cooperated, if the ability was poor, then he would do anything no.

Xu Hu leaned over and said in a low voice: "Let me tell you, the two counties sent troops together before and failed to capture Jiming Mountain. If we only have the strength of one county this time, I don't think it will be possible. Look at the county magistrate It is quite determined, but there are not enough troops, so what can we do?"

"The county magistrate can also think of the problems you have thought of, so why can't you borrow some soldiers?"

"You don't understand this. Borrowing soldiers is not so easy to borrow. If you don't have any connections, you need money to clear the way. Our county magistrate, I heard that he is an upright official." Xu Hu chuckled, no money in hand, even an official Son, that is also difficult to move an inch.

"Don't look like you are gloating. Bandits are a problem, and it's not a good thing for us ordinary people. You can't hope for something better. Without bandits, everyone can go out in peace, okay?"

Hearing this, Xu Hu immediately restrained his smiling face and said: "The truth is such a truth, but in fact it has nothing to do with us ordinary people. You see, ordinary people seldom come to the county, let alone go to the prefecture. , the most influential ones are those rich people, if you want me to say, what should we worry about, it is others who should be anxious."

"Don't you worry, those bandits will come to the county one day?"

"Hey, they don't have that kind of guts. If they really came to the county, they would be rebelling, and those bandits are not stupid." Xu Hu shook his head and said, there is absolutely no such possibility.
