Flowers are expensive

Chapter 134 Chang Ming's Eyes

"More than that!" Xian Shi shook the silver hairpin on his head, and said proudly, "This hairpin is worth three or four taels after all! I just entertained them for a day or two, and I got this silver. It's a good deal! "

"It's a good deal!" Luo Yan touched the scraps of silver and said to the oil lamp with a smile on his face, "I've been working in the town for a year! You are such a ghost!"

"Who made me lucky? As soon as I walked to the entrance of the village, I ran into my aunt. My uncle took her place, and she had nowhere to go. I happened to leave her three mothers at home, otherwise, where would I get these things?" Things to do? By the way, why are you back? The work in the town is gone?"

"Don't mention it!" Luo Yan immediately said with a cloudy face, "Our old club passed away the day before yesterday. As soon as he kicked his legs, Jin Sang Hall will change!"

"How did it change?"

"Cook some batter for me first, and rush back to the night road. I'm so hungry. Is there any wine at home? Get me a whole bowl?"

"I'm still drinking wine!" Xian Shi thought it was amused, put away the clothes in the closet and said, "I don't have a drop at home, I drank it up for those two cousins, I'll call tomorrow!"

"Then go, you're so hungry!" Xianshi went to the kitchen, cooked a big bowl of batter, and heated up the leftover chicken soup from the night.Mama Li came over to ask, and Mrs. Xian said a few words politely, and then went back to the house with her things.

Luo Yan ate the batter in big mouthfuls, and after filling it half full, he said to Xianshi: "Our little boss is a prodigal. The old boss has not recovered yet, so he is in a hurry to get Jinsangtang to eat. Go out, spend money and go to the city to live!"

"So you came back?" "Aren't you coming back and waiting to be kicked out? The little boss paid the wages alone, and deducted the reward that the old boss said earlier!"

"You're so shameless!" Xian said angrily, "You're the only one detained? I'm afraid it's not right? You don't make trouble?" Xiao Dong’s family is an unrecognizable guy, there is really no place to talk to him about reasoning with him! I thought about it again and again, it’s better to save this life and find another job, than to be disabled by him, isn’t it?”

"It's so wicked!" Mrs. Xian scolded angrily, "Forget it! Just give it to him as a coffin book! The owner of such a big hall is still stingy with the little money, so be careful not to choke to death on the money! If you don't go to the town, you will die." Okay, so you don’t have to run back and forth. By the way, my aunt’s two daughters are going to buy land to plant flowers, why don’t you follow them?”

"Grow what? Grow flowers? Grow what kind of flowers?"

"Gardenias, chrysanthemums, honeysuckle, etc."

"Doing medicine? Can they do it? It's not easy for two girls to enter the medicine industry. Even if they can grow it, where will the goods be sold? Find a broker? The brokers are all old men. One is cunning, they don’t even know about it after being betrayed! Forget it, don’t mention this to your aunt, I don’t want to work with two little girls, so I might as well find another serious job!”

"As long as they can afford the wages, why not?"

"You know what!" Luo Yan drank the chicken soup in one gulp, wiped his mouth and said, "Then everything is difficult at the beginning, so you just push your man to do that difficult thing? When they really do it, they will really be paid It’s not too late for me to go! I’ll just jump in now, if there’s nothing to do, the family’s life won’t be enough? Is there any chicken soup? Heat up another bowl!” Xian thought for a while, and felt that her man It makes sense, and I didn't say any more.

The next morning, Mother Li got up early.She ran to the kitchen and took a look at the moving gifts prepared by Xianshi: a bundle of neatly cut firewood, a rooster, a jar of pickles, a basket of beans and greens, and half a bag of rice.This is the custom of relocating in Ningjiawan.

Mama Li was very satisfied, she smiled at Xian Shi who was cooking breakfast, "I'm so sorry for you! You even gave me a jar of kimchi!" Xian Shi said: "Auntie, just don't dislike my kimchi. It was pickled from the old juice brought by my natal family when I got married, which is similar to what my mother made."

"How can you say I hate it! When I first left my hometown, I also brought a small jar of old juice, but after moving back and forth, it was gone. You give me this jar You have to keep it well. Bring it to Ah Nuan when you go back to see her. She likes fried kimchi with beans the most.”

"By the way, auntie, where did Ah Nuan marry?"

"In Tongyou Town in Gaoxuan County, my husband's family runs a sesame oil shop. It's not a big shopkeeper, but it's a small boss. The family earns money for their own use, and doesn't look at other people's faces. Life is just getting by." Xian said with a smile. : "So it's the proprietress! Why don't you bring her back?"

"I haven't seen her for half a year, and I just wanted to send her a letter to the town so that she can come back to her hometown when she has time!"

"It's easy to talk about. My family Luo Yan is idle. You finish writing the letter. I'll let him send it later."

"That's troublesome!" "You're too polite, just run errands." "Alright, I'll ask Lihua to write the letter for me later, and then I'll write it to you."

"okay!"

During breakfast, Xian introduced Lihua and Cuiyue to Luo Yan.When Luo Yan saw the two of them, he felt that planting flowers was unreliable, and thought to himself, what could be accomplished with just two girls?But when he turned his head, he remembered another thing, but he didn't say it.

After the meal, the Xian family sent the three of them to the new house.Not long after, many people in the village came to give gifts to visit.Mother Li knew that she should prepare for the move, but she didn't prepare anything when she just moved here, so she had to set the date for the day after tomorrow.

This morning, Guan Changming and Song Xianzhong brought a fellow villager named Ji Han to repair the pigsty for Mama Li.Lihua drew a sketch and changed the pigsty into a toilet and a place to put sundries.

In the afternoon, Lihua and Cuiyue went to the village chief's house to settle the land purchase.On the way back, the two sisters went to the field to have a look again, planning with great anticipation, where to plant gardenias and where to plant chrysanthemums.The more they thought about it, the happier they became. They stayed in the field for a while before heading home.

When they got home, Luo Yan's laughter came from the yard.He and Chang Ming were sitting together drinking tea and chatting.Seeing that Lihua and Cuiyue had returned, he hurriedly asked with a smile, "Is this really a land purchase?" Lihua nodded and said, "Yes! Why doesn't Cousin Xing'er come and have a sit down?"

"She has a job at home! I went to the town and delivered a letter to your godmother. Why don't you come and answer her? I said, Sister Ewha, do you two really plan to grow flowers? It’s not easy to sell, the price is very cheap, if you don’t have regular customers to sell it, it’s really bad in the warehouse. If you have the capital, you might as well do another line of ready-made ones.”

"Which line?" Lihua sat down generously and asked.Cuiyue went inside to collect the land deed first.

"I'm afraid you haven't heard of the Jinsang Hall in the town. But you can ask Chang Ming and the others, which one doesn't know? Now my old club is gone, and the little guy's bastard... No, he plans to make a deal for the hall." Go to the city to live a fairy life, if you are willing to do it, I can help you sell it there, and I guarantee you will not lose money."

"What's that for?" Pear Blossom asked.

Chang Ming answered, "They specialize in collecting silkworm cocoon cotton. They also iron and spin silk, twist cotton and roll thread, and ship it to the city. The business is really good. The silkworm cocoons and cotton nearby are collected by Jinsangtang. Yes, it has been open for more than 20 years, so it can be regarded as a time-honored brand.”

"Oh, why not?"

"The young owner of that family, Hong Kun, is not a businessman. Once his father died, how could he have the heart to make such a fuss? He had long thought of going to the county town to do big business."

"How about it, sister Lihua?" Luo Yan asked hastily, "If you're interested, I'll take you to have a look tomorrow?"

Lihua smiled and said: "I don't understand that business, so I won't join in the fun, thank you for your kindness." Luo Yan was not reconciled, thinking that if the Lihua plate came down, he could be a manager or something, so he continued to swim. Said: "This business is very easy to enter, and it doesn't take much effort. Now that the old folks in the hall are still there, you can make an offer and I will help you. Maybe you can make money in the first month!"

"We just bought the land, so we can't spare so much money." Lihua still declined politely.

"Why don't you go to the town to take a look first? Such a good deal is not something you can come across every time! It's because our little boss is not very smart, so he is willing to sell the house. If it is someone else, there is no such Good thing! If you really know how to do business, it would not be worthwhile if you missed this plate!"

Luo Yan deliberately spoke the word hui a little more emphatically, and there was a bit of aggression in the words.Li Hua realized it, smiled lightly, and when she was about to answer, Chang Ming next to her said first: "I think Li Hua's sister is more reliable in planting flowers. Although the business in Jinsangtang is good, it's busy and tiring. In the city, in the town and in the country, it is not suitable for the two girls."

Li Hua smiled gratefully at Chang Ming, nodded and said, "That's exactly what I was thinking about!"

Luo Yan was a little displeased, as if Chang Ming had ruined his good plan, glanced at Chang Ming sideways, and said half-jokingly: "Chang Ming, you said this because you don't want Miss Ewha to interfere with Jinsang Hall. Right? You can't be so clearly selfish as a human being!" After he finished speaking, he laughed dryly twice to whitewash the peace.

"Where did Brother Yan say it? Why did I not let Lihua girl interfere? Who am I? It's my turn to take care of Jinsang Hall?" Chang Ming is not an irritable person, just like Lihua He likes to laugh, has a big heart, and is more like a sunny boy next door.

"Cough!" Luo Yan lowered his head and shook his head with a mocking smile, as if you should stop pretending.After smiling for a while, he raised his head and said, "Don't you coax us people to talk nonsense? Who doesn't know about you and our Miss Hong? Who are you coaxing? The lady made shoes and socks and delivered them to her by herself. Before you, you can forget, but I haven't forgotten!"

Xianzhong and Ji Han next to him both snickered, as if agreeing to the matter unanimously.There was no embarrassment on Chang Ming's face, he just said in a slightly persuasive tone: "Brother Yan, it's okay for you to make fun of me, but don't ruin Miss Hong's reputation, we are innocent, where are the things you think about!"

Luo Yan chuckled, patted Chang Ming on the shoulder and said, "Are you pretending? Now that the old club is gone, the young club is not up to snuff. If you really go back to Jinsangtang, then you must be alone! Just now You advise Lihua girl not to take over, and tell my brother the truth, do you want to take over Jinsangtang?"

"I'll take over Jinsang Hall?" Chang Ming still smiled without being angry, and said to Luo Yan, "Come on, come on, brother Yan, you get a share first, and then I'll go grab a mountain and rob some riches, maybe You can really win Jinsangtang!"

Lihua couldn't help covering her mouth and started laughing, thinking that Guan Changming had a really good temper, always speaking with a bit of humor.Even though Luo Yan's words were sarcasm, he just laughed it off, he was too lazy to argue with Luo Yan, his demeanor was really good, it was completely opposite to his own Xie Manting... Thinking of this, her smile became sour, and she lowered her head involuntarily , I used to always yell at myself, but I couldn't change it for a while...

Luo Yan was a little reconciled, so he patted Chang Ming's hand and said, "Chang Ming, the brothers are not outsiders, and they can't die if there is a leak! Did Miss Hong come to look for you? If she really came Looking for you, you should just accept it, where can I find such a good job? Brother, I still can’t think of it!”
