Chapter 33 Steward of Qingyue Tower

Feeling the focus of attention, Wen Erlang blushed instantly.

He read the books of sages and knew that being a merchant was a bad business.

But he also knew that his brother often hunted good things and sold them in the town, so Wen Erlang either looked down on Jiang Wancheng's behavior, or he was just embarrassed for a moment.

He suppressed his blush and said nothing, but he didn't dodge either.

Instead, he raised his neck and met everyone's strange gazes with Jiang Wancheng.

Sure enough, the three people heard the sound and walked over quickly.

"Hey, fungi!? There are actually people who dare to sell fungi in Qingyang Town. Girl, you are so courageous."

The leader looked older, about 40 years old, and he had a sachet hanging on his waist.

The other two people behind him should be obeying his orders, and they were watching the fun with accommodating expressions.

Jiang Wancheng picked up a morel and enthusiastically promoted it: "Man in charge, why don't you take a look at what this is? Do you recognize this thing?"

As soon as the man's eyes fell, his eyes lit up instantly, and his voice became a little excited: "Yo! Morels! This is actually a morel!"

Jiang Wancheng smiled: "Sure enough, you are more knowledgeable."

"Boss, these are morels, these are porcini, and there are shiitake mushrooms, brown mushrooms, etc. below. What I picked are relatively rare and non-toxic mushrooms. Why don't you dare to sell them?"

"I believe that although the Wang family is rich and benevolent, they will not be so tyrannical and still control what other families eat and drink, right?"

As soon as Jiang Wancheng said these words, everyone around him took a few breaths.

Immediately, there was a lot of discussion: "This girl is too courageous!"

"I'm afraid I haven't seen the methods of the Wang family... The family is so arrogant and domineering, running rampant in the countryside and becoming the king."

"Especially those tenants who rent their fields, everyone has suffered a lot..."

"Girl, be careful that trouble comes from your mouth!"

Not far away, there happened to be a servant of the Wang family who happened to hear all this.

When the servant heard the discussion, he immediately turned around and ran back.

"I saw Chen Da from the Wang family!"

"This girl is going to suffer! Girl, please leave quickly!" The vendors kindly urged Jiang Wancheng to leave quickly.

Although Jiang Wancheng felt guilty in his heart, his face was still tense, looking unafraid.

afraid?
How can you not be afraid? In this era, if anyone with power and money wants to deal with ordinary people, they have many means.

It makes you unable to live and die.

She didn't know the Wang family's story about fungus poisoning before, so whether to sell it or not, as long as she showed up with the fungus, she would be worried about it by the Wang family.

In this kind of family, there is a purchasing manager who keeps wandering around every day.

Seeing her selling mushrooms, as long as she appears here, there is no way to escape.

Therefore, it is better to sell it openly, speak more beautifully, and lift up the Wang family.

Could he still reach out and hit someone?
The leader saw this, stroking his beard and nodding slightly.

He admired the way this girl behaved.

"It's true that because of what happened to the Wang family in the past few years, I haven't had this bite in Qingyang Town for a long time."

"Girl, these fungi, I see that all of them are fresh and of the highest quality. Not bad!"

The steward stared at Jiang Wancheng and saw that although she was pretty, she was dressed like an ordinary village girl, and he suddenly became excited.

Unlike other people who call him uncle when they see him, this girl can actually tell that he is a manager and seems to have some knowledge.

I wonder if you are willing to pursue a better future?

Wen Erlang frowned, and intentionally or unintentionally stepped forward to cover half of Jiang Wancheng's face.

Seeing a boy suddenly coming forward, his little painted face looked alert and guarded.When the steward saw this, he was stunned for a moment.

Then he laughed loudly: "Interesting! Interesting! I actually saw a pair of interesting people at this market today! Little girl, I bought all these fungi!"

Jiang Wancheng was surprised when he heard this, but he still said: "There are so many, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish them all by yourself."

The steward laughed 'haha': "If you can't finish it, just dry it. Just eat it slowly after winter comes. You can sell it to me if you keep it. It will never be wasted!"

Only then did Jiang Wancheng respond.

"Thank you to the manager!"

The steward waved his hand, and the two attendants behind him immediately stepped forward, one with a backpack and the other with a basket.

"Girl, please come with us. We will get you a basket and a basket when we go back."

Jiang Wancheng picked up Sister Ya and Wen Erlang and left calmly with the three of them.

The remaining vendors around were dumbfounded.

After all, no one expected that anyone would actually dare to buy it.

Moreover, he bought everything for her in one big deal!

Who is this man?
Not even the Wang family is afraid, dare to eat fungi so blatantly?

Suddenly, the entire market was buzzing with discussions among small and small groups.

"You don't know that he is the chief steward of Qingyue Tower. He comes to our Qingyang Town for two or three months every year."

"Qingyue Tower? Isn't that the most upscale restaurant in Qingyang Town?"

"Yes, I heard that a meal costs at least two taels of silver!"

"Two taels of silver!? Oh my god, isn't that my family's annual expenses? I don't even dare to eat wontons worth three cents!"

"Here, we are just a small town, why do we have such a high-priced restaurant? Who else can afford to go there besides the Wang family?"

"You don't know something about this. Many shop owners are proud to enter Qingyue Tower once a month."

"Although not many people in our town go to the Qingyue Tower, our Qingyang Town is next to the official road, and many wealthy guests, dignitaries and nobles who pass by stay there every year."

"Then what is the origin of Qingyue Tower?"

"I heard that it was opened by a nobleman from Beijing... That nobleman's restaurant has long been opened all over Daliang..."

After leaving the market, Jiang Wancheng did not forget to ask the most important question.

"Boss, I have so many fungi, so you have to set a price."

Of course she was afraid that the Wang family would cause trouble, so she hurried out following the man in charge.

She thought about it, if this person's asking price was too low, she might as well not sell it and quickly leave with Sister Ya and Wen Erlang on their way back.

But if the price is reasonable, you get the best of both worlds.

After getting rid of the bacteria, I was not afraid of the Wang family getting into trouble, and I could still take these two little ones around the town.

The steward turned back to Jiang Wancheng and said, "How much do you want?"

How did Jiang Wancheng know the market price of this fungus?
There was a soft smile on her face: "You can give it to me. However, these fungi were collected freshly by my brothers and sisters and I got up early today and went to the mountains."

She didn't mention the word "hardship", but her words were full of hardship.

Especially her legs and feet, as soon as she walks, a discerning person will notice that there is something wrong with her.

Regret clearly flashed across the steward's face.

Pity.

Such a smart, transparent, and beautiful girl actually has leg problems.

Otherwise, if he is sent to the third master of Shangjing, maybe he will really have a good future?
