After death, I became the cannon fodder of the three protagonists

Chapter 91

Half an hour after Li Shi left.

Chen Heyun and his wife led a carriage to the door of Gu's house.

The curtain of the car was lifted, and a man in a fine attire came out from inside.

He is estimated to be about 40 years old, and his brows are calm and sophisticated after years of wind and rain, his eyes are slightly squinted, and they are exquisite.

With a smile on his face, it gives people the illusion of being approachable.

"Boss Lin, I'll knock on the door first to see if anyone is at home. Please wait a moment."

The man, Manager Lin, nodded slightly.

The door of Gu's family is not closed during the day, but the etiquette should not be lost. After all, it is someone else's house, and it must be approved by others.

Standing outside the threshold, Chen Heyun gently knocked on the wooden door, and shouted inside: "Gu family brothers and sisters, are you at home?"

Su Mo, who was busy with dinner, guessed that Mrs. Li and the others had come.

Just as the dishes in the pot were cooked, she put them on a plate, then scooped up water to wash her hands, and while wiping her hands with a rag, she responded, "Here we come."

After all, she went out.

Gu Ping'an and the others also heard voices coming out of the yard.

"Peace, take the dishes into the hall."

Su Mo glanced at the three of them and said, "Eat first, don't wait for me."

The three of Gu Pingan nodded, the one who served the dishes, and the one who entered the hall entered the hall.

Su Mo went out and spoke first: "Let's talk after you come in."

It was getting dark, and it was shameful to stand at the gate.

Su Mo led everyone into the study.

Candles were lit inside, and the warm yellow candlelight flickered.

Chen Heyun was about to introduce Guanshi Lin to Su Mo, but he interrupted him by raising his hand.

"There is no need to say more if you are polite."

Steward Lin raised his chin slightly to look at Su Mo. His wise eyes became deeper and deeper with the candlelight, and there was a sense of arrogance in his demeanor and speech.

"Madam Gu, right?

Manager Lin of the Xiachang Lake Commercial Bank came here this time because he learned from Chen Shanglv that you have a batch of watermelons. "

Although Chen Heyun was registered as a merchant, he didn't rent a shop, and he was a businessman. Since he traveled around to sell goods, he was called a merchant traveler.

"I wonder if Mrs. Gu can let me go down to the melon field to have a look?"

Su Mo raised her eyes, and directly met Shang Lin's sharp gaze, neither humble nor overbearing.

"I have picked almost all the melons in the field today, and there are only some melons that are not in season.

Furthermore, the melon field is on the mountain, and it is already night, so it is unavoidably dangerous to go there.

How about, Manager Lin go and have a look at the melons I picked? "

He wanted to be in charge for more than ten years, and Changhu Trading Company was an imperial merchant, so he was flattered and flattered when he was away from home.

As time goes by, it is inevitable that there is an aura of a superior in his body. When ordinary people see him, most of them are timid, and they are too nervous to speak.

Mrs. Gu in front of her is a little interesting.

But it's true, a person who can grow watermelons in autumn and also has a study in the courtyard is a mediocre person.

Lin Guanshi thought to himself, and immediately corrected his attitude towards Su Mo.

"Please trouble Mrs. Gu to lead the way."

Su Mo picked up the candle and took them to the next room, which was the warehouse.

She moved all the previous things from the warehouse to the west side room. When she opened the door, she saw big watermelons all over the floor.

Steward Lin's eyes flickered slightly, and his mind moved.

"I wonder if Mrs. Gu can let me pick out a melon, cut it open and have a look?"

Su Mo was full of confidence in her watermelon, so she had no objections. She made a gesture of invitation and said, "Of course, please, Manager Lin."

"Thank you."

Steward Lin nodded, raised his legs and walked in, his eyes swept over the watermelons on the ground, seemingly pointing at them casually.

"That's it."

Su Mo and the others walked over, and the watermelon that Steward Lin picked was medium in size and not in a very good shape, so it could be considered a crooked melon.

The faces of Chen Heyun and Li Shi suddenly changed slightly, and they wanted to persuade Lin Guanshi to change.

Su Mo bent down and picked up the watermelon, "Okay, I'll take it to the kitchen and cut it."

Steward Lin nodded slightly, watching Su Mo leave with melons.

The servant beside him frowned, leaned over and whispered to Steward Lin: "Master, aren't you worried that she will replace the melon?"

Steward Lin glanced at him, very determined.

"She won't."

His eyes have seen too many people, whether they are people or ghosts, he can see through them at a glance.

This Mrs. Gu's eyes are clear, her words and deeds are graceful, without a trace of falsehood.

Furthermore, this was something to be sent to the palace, and they dared not obey it.

"But…"

The boy wanted to say something, but Steward Lin raised his hand to interrupt him, glanced at Chen Heyun and his wife next to him, and could not deny it.

"Liu Er, speak carefully."

Liu Er immediately lowered his head and swallowed the phrase "people's hearts are unpredictable", but he was still a little unhappy.

Liu Er is the son of Guanshi Lin's family. He has been with Guanshi Lin since he was more than ten years old, and he is always thinking about Guanshi Lin.

And he believes that all things are "for oneself", human nature is evil, and those who are good are hypocrisy.

Therefore, Liu Er never agrees that his master judges human nature based on his own experience, but he is just a slave, and he dare not speak too much on weekdays, but secretly slanders a few words in his heart.

How could Steward Lin not see it, he shook his head slightly in his heart.

After so many years of training, there is still no progress. It seems that Liu Er is no longer suitable to stay by his side.

Both Chen Heyun and Li Shi acted as if they hadn't heard their conversation, they stepped forward a few steps, bent slightly, and asked respectfully: "Guard Lin, why don't we go to the kitchen and watch?"

Changhu Commercial Bank is not only an imperial merchant, but also the helm of the Huzhou Merchant Gang.

Before Chen Heyun and Chen Cihai went to Huzhou Mansion to sell apricot paste, but the goods Chen Cihai pledged were from the bottom merchants of the Huzhou business gang.

The two paid money to give gifts, and after climbing this line, they were able to successfully sell the apricot paste at a high price in Huzhou Prefecture.

Steward Lin nodded slightly, and did not change his attitude towards Chen Heyun and his wife just because of his appreciation for Su Mo.

"can."

But for Chen Heyun, he can feel at ease only when Steward Lin is aloof. If he becomes approachable, he may be too panicked to find his way.

"This way, please."

The kitchen is next door, and when a few people passed by, Su Mo had already cut the melon.

The bright red flesh is particularly eye-catching under the candlelight, the juice is left on the cutting board, and the air is filled with the unique fragrance of watermelon.

Seeing someone approaching, Su Mo put down the knife.

"Steward Lin, try it?"

Steward Lin lifted his legs and walked over, picked up a piece of melon, and took a bite.

Sweet and juicy, cool and refreshing, he couldn't help squinting his eyes slightly, and he already had a plan in his heart.

After eating melons, it is natural to start negotiating prices.

"I won't be courteous to Mrs. Gu. All the melons in your yard and melon fields are 300 taels."

Manager Lin is very clear about the benefits that this batch of melons can bring to Changhu Commercial Bank, 300 taels. For the peasants, they will have to save for five to sixty years without eating or drinking.

After hearing this, Chen Heyun and Li's pupils trembled, and they swallowed excitedly.

Li Shi pulled the hem of La Sumo's clothes calmly, and frantically gave her a wink, telling her to respond quickly.

Su Mo shook her head, and calmly added 100 taels.

"400 taels. If you agree, you can take the melons tonight. As for the watermelons in the field, you can pick them within seven days at the latest."

Steward Lin frowned.

However, Liu Er seemed to be grasping Su Mo's handle, his eyes widened angrily, and he said with Guan Shi:

"Master, since this Mrs. Gu is not sincere at all, why bother to talk about it..."

As he spoke, he paused, cast a contemptuous look at Su Mo, and deliberately did not restrain his voice.

"It's just some watermelons, but the lion opened his mouth. If we don't buy them, she won't be able to sell them in the future."

Based on the name of their Changhu Commercial Firm, as long as the news is released, these melons can only rot in this broken yard.

　Finally went home today.

　　The update was delayed by nearly an hour.

　　Tomorrow, I will start to make up the words owed in the past few days.

　　There is one thing to say, Ice Coke YYDS.
