Chapter 41
Cao Xuemei's eyes lit up, "As the master, I should share the burden, how dare I ask for any benefits." She paused for a moment, and then immediately said: "It's just our Yan'er, although he is a little stupid, but at his age, I am thinking day and night about marrying him a wife, but I am also afraid that people who are unfamiliar with her will not treat her well. Today, my sister’s little daughter is here. She is the girl named Shen Qing. She is smart and good-looking. She has a good temper and knows her roots well. If she is allowed to marry Yan'er, I can rest in peace even if I die."

She hid her face and wanted to cry, a pitiful look that was about to cry.

Meng Daishan suddenly saw the backs of the three little girls he saw at the door.

He touched his beard, his expression was complicated and difficult to explain, but his eyes turned quickly, "Madam, why should you be sad? Didn't the fortune teller say it before? As long as our Yan'er finds a girl with strong character to marry, it may be a good thing." Disasters are resolved, and everything will be smooth from now on.”

"Yes, master, do you still remember this?" It was a long time ago, and the old man looked like a liar, she didn't take it to heart at the time, she didn't expect...

Meng Daishan narrowed his eyes with a smile, "When the business of Mr. Su is done, the old man will definitely make the decision for you, let Yan'er marry your niece, and the old man will come to propose marriage in person."

Cao Xuemei was very moved, "I am here to thank the master, so what should I pay attention to when I arrange Mr. Su?"

"Well... I forgot if I didn't mention it, Ma'am. Remember, the yard must be on the south side, quiet and clean. Lime water should be sprinkled on every corner of the yard. Those mosquitoes, rats and ants need to be cleaned up and served. We don’t need to worry about the people here. You just need to vacate an empty yard. For specific matters, the steward of the Su Mansion will explain the details tomorrow. You don’t have to go anywhere. This is a big deal for our family!"

"Yes, I know."

Meng Daishan sighed again, "Oh! That young master of the Su family is very weak, but you must not make any mistakes in our family, otherwise you and I will not be able to bear it."

"Why is it so bad at such a young age?" Cao Xuemei didn't know much about the Su family, so she didn't know.

"It is said that it is a disease carried in the womb. It is very serious. When I was just twenty years old, I almost died from the disease several times. I was very close to it until I reached adulthood. Even if my life is serious, in short, everything is risky, but this risk cannot be taken. It’s in our hands.”

Cao Xuemei was frightened when she heard this, "Huh? This, this is not easy to serve."

Just like the vase in the old man's hand, it is trembling and might fall at any moment.

Meng Daishan said in a deep voice: "I can't refuse what they said over there. By the way, before Mr. Su arrives, send Yan'er to another courtyard and call Chun'er back."

Cao Xuemei's eyes instantly turned cold, "Yes!"

Meng Chun is the son of the master and his first wife. He is married and lives in the west courtyard.

Now that most of the Meng family's business has been handed over to him, Mr. Meng has taken a back seat. That man is also capable, but... he is lame.

On the street, Huo Lin carried a load and delivered the things to several agreed restaurants first.

Shen Qing followed behind, observing carefully.

She is also dressed like a pretty young girl today, but her face is too fair and tender, and she has no Adam's apple when she raises her head, so anyone with a discerning eye can still tell at a glance that she is a little girl.

Er Ya returned to her original nature, pestered Da Ya to take her to play, but Da Ya couldn't resist her, in fact she also wanted to go for a walk, so she made an appointment with Shen Qing to meet at the gate of the town, and then took Er Ya to another place.

Every time Huo Lin came to a house, he opened the bamboo basket. Inside were wrapped oiled paper packages, and there was a package of opened samples. The customers tasted it first and then bought it.

After a while, the several stores that had been agreed upon had all given away, but they still had a small amount left unsold.

Huo Lin scratched his head, "We have done too much, what should we do with these? How about finding a place to sell them?"

Shen Qing looked around, "Send it there."

"The inn? They are all staying guests. I'm afraid they won't buy our things."

"What are you afraid of, tell them to try it, and we will do business next time." Shen Qing took an oiled paper bag and ran to the Fulai Inn next to it.

As soon as he was about to go in, Xiaoer, who was guarding the gate, came out to chase people away.

"Go, go, some brat is here to cause trouble, this is not a place for you to play, just go away!"

Shen Qing opened the oil paper bag with an attentive smile, "Don't worry, little brother, I have delicious food here, and I specially invite you to try it. It doesn't cost money, so what are you afraid of?"

She picked up a piece with a bamboo skewer and handed it over.

Xiao Er felt novelty, "There is such a good thing, you are not digging a hole for me, are you?"

Shen Qing: "This is the fish we cook at home. Try it first before buying it. If you don't think it tastes good, that's it. If you think it tastes good, tell us more about it and I'll give you some of the benefits. How about it?"

When Xiao Er heard the word "benefits", she immediately regained her spirits, looked around, and pulled her aside, "But you want me to earn extra money?"

He is a waiter in a shop and works extremely hard. He only earns about five hundred cents a month, and he generously gives some rewards to customers when he meets customers.

Years ago, his mother said that she wanted to marry him a wife, but the bride price required ten taels of silver, plus a banquet, so without 20 taels, there was no way he could stop her.

There are younger brothers and sisters in his family, all opening their mouths waiting to eat.

So how could he not be excited when he heard the word "benefits".

Shen Qing felt that this was also a way out, but he chatted with him.

"what's your name?"

"My name is Feng Chengcheng, please call me Brother Cheng!"

Shen Qing's face trembled, this name... "Uh, Brother Cheng, you first try the crispy fish cubes made by our family."

Feng Chengcheng picked a piece and ate it, and relished it carefully, "It obviously has a spicy taste, but it is not very spicy in your mouth, and the heat of the fish is just right, dehydrated, and the meat is firm. Not bad, not bad not bad."

Shen Qing was happy, "Do you dare to bring things in? If you can sell all these, I will give you five cents for one pound, and fifty cents for ten pounds. How about that?"

Feng Chengcheng hesitated, "Ten catties is a lot, can it be sold out?"

Shen Qing patted him on the shoulder, "You get as much as you sell, you get more for your work, you don't suffer, and you don't have capital, what a great thing, and I will ask Huo Lin to come over every day in the future, do you want to add more goods? The reduction of goods is up to you, why are you still hesitating!"

Feng Chengcheng smiled, "I'm afraid no one will buy it. Since you said so, I'll sell it for you."

Shen Qing: "Then we will settle the bill every three days and check it out in person to avoid having to talk about it in the future. In addition, I will give you some free food for others to taste."

She called Huo Lin over again, and the three of them quickly reached an agreement.

Feng Chengcheng left five catties of crispy fish pieces, and Shen Qing didn't ask for any guarantees, anyway, they made them at home, even if Feng Chengcheng repudiated the debt, he couldn't lose anything, and besides, Feng Chengcheng wanted to make money, so he would definitely not play tricks, and refunded [-] yuan Step, if he is cheating, report to the shopkeeper, and he will not be able to eat and walk around.

Shen Qing followed suit and found two more inns.

Qingquan Town is not big, that's all.

Coming out of the last inn, I almost bumped into someone.
