Chapter 210
On the first day that Boss Shen planted the Kalanchoe, everything was calm and business was lukewarm.
Tian Bajiao thought of the past and was filled with melancholy, so she ate two more bowls of rice. Boss Shen, who was not full, looked resentful, so she had to fry two eggs for him.
The day after Boss Shen planted the Kalanchoe, something good happened.
Early in the morning, a lame peddler delivered the goods to Mr. Shen's door. When he took the goods, he found a string of copper coins at the bottom of the basket, about three or four hundred coins.
She suppressed her heartache and asked Tian Bajiao to catch up with the man, return the money to him, and exchange it for two windmills.
She tied the windmill to the fortune tree at the door. A child passing by saw it and couldn't help but pull it, breaking the branch. The child's parents, who were wearing silk clothes, generously compensated him with two taels of silver. He drank a pot of tea in the private room, bought some incense, and said he would go back and try it, and come again if it worked.
Boss Shen quickly gave Tian Bajiao a look and gave him two other kinds of incense as gifts.
Maybe you can gain a regular customer.
On the third day after Boss Shen planted the Kalanchoe, something good happened.
Pork was cheaper at the butcher shop, and if you bought five pounds of meat and a pair of cuts, Tian Bajiao immediately rushed forward, pushed to the left and squeezed, and grabbed the largest and most attractive piece.
It looks disgusting when prepared, but it tastes really good when braised!
They finished eating, one of them lay drowsily on a bamboo chair, and the other sat at the counter yawning.
If Liu Suniang hadn't come over and looked around and acted sarcastic, they could have had a good sleep.
She wanted to see the Kalanchoe, and laughed at Boss Shen for being a fool for spending so much money on such a scam.
Boss Shen said bluntly: "It's none of your business. You want to be deceived? We are not destined to be together."
She spoke so proudly and confidently that a dull and bewildered look appeared on Liu Suniang's face.
He seemed to be wondering who he was scolding.
Before she could figure out what was going on, Boss Shen decisively kicked her out. Then he remembered something and quickly lit the spices that came with the Kalanchoe.
Liu Suniang went away and came back, and stood at the door and asked her, "Hey, what is that fragrance? Where did it come from?"
"I got this by being a fool. It's the only one I have. What? Do you want it?"
Boss Shen smiled mischievously.
Liu Suniang curled her lips and said, "Name a price."
"Not for sale," Boss Shen said proudly, "If you want it, tell me where you got it from."
She had been thinking about it for more than two years, but hadn't been able to catch the person who sold them the spices. This time she finally had a chance.
Although Liu Suniang refused to say anything and turned away, Boss Shen was sure that she would come back.
On the fourth day after Boss Shen planted the Kalanchoe, nothing happened and business was mediocre.
But Mrs. Wang from next door said that she saw Xing'er asking around for someone who sells Kalanchoe.
But those two people left long ago, who knows where they went?
Boss Shen smiled happily.
On the fifth day after Boss Shen planted the Kalanchoe, Mr. Zhou Er came to visit and politely said that he wanted to taste the spice.
Boss Shen took out a little bit and asked Tian Bajiao to light it and give it to him.
He was quite good at talking. He said something like "it's not an ordinary item" and that he really wanted it, so he asked Boss Shen to give it up.
As soon as the upper lip touches the lower lip, I want to take half of it, no matter how much I say, it won't work.
Boss Shen naturally disagreed, but he said he was happy to pay fifteen taels to buy it.
There are not many spices that can be sold at this price.
Boss Shen was really tempted, but she wanted the source of goods more!
Mr. Zhou Er said, "If that's the case, I won't bother you anymore."
He left more decisively than Liu Suniang.
It's no wonder. The prices of the items in the two shops are similar, but the spices over there are better than those here. It's acceptable for one or two times, but over time, sooner or later all the customers will run to the next door.
It doesn’t matter whether the spices are available at that time, since we have made money anyway.
The source of goods is the most important thing, so he naturally wouldn't say it casually.
Will Boss Shen be willing to accept this?
Of course not!
But if they don't buy it, who else can she sell it to?
No matter how good something is, it is worthless if you have it in your hands.
Her heart felt heavy and terrible that day.
On the sixth day after Boss Shen planted the Kalanchoe, he felt very sleepy.
She couldn't sleep last night because she was thinking about the source of goods, so she woke up Tian Bajiao in the middle of the night to complain.
He talked on and on for half the night, and when he woke up in the morning, he had come to his senses. He asked Tian Bajiao to invite Liu Suniang and Zhou Erye to buy incense.
Tian Bajiao went there, but failed to invite the person back.
"They said fifteen taels, but that was yesterday's price. Today..."
Tian Bajiao felt that she would definitely be angry if he told her.
Boss Shen waved his hand: "Just tell me, do they want ten taels or five taels?"
Tian Bajiao said, "They want fifty coins per ounce."
"Tell them to get out! I won't sell it to you anymore!" Boss Shen was really anxious.
As the saying goes, the wool comes from the sheep. Boss Shen never regarded this incense as a gift. He always felt that he bought it at a high price and how could he sell it at a low price.
Fifty cents per ounce, why not keep some for herself?
We can't give it to them even if it's free for the guests.
Tian Bajiao conveyed her words directly.
Liu Suniang said, "Tell her if she doesn't want to sell it, forget it. Even if she wants to sell it, I don't want it anymore!"
Tian Bajiao thought she said this out of anger.
But on the eleventh day after Boss Shen planted the Kalanchoe, a familiar smell came from next door.
They also named this incense "Fragrant Letter of Grass and Trees".
Boss Shen was so angry that he was stunned: "Where did they get it?!"
Tian Bajiao shook his head and said, "I don't know. It was brought back by Mr. Zhou Er just like before. I went to check it out, but I lost it."
Tian Bajiao has become accustomed to it.
Boss Shen was still in despair, and what made her even more desperate was that the roots of her Kalanchoe were rotten.
Boss Shen brought them to show Tian Bajiao: "Tell me honestly, have you ever been near them?"
Tian Bajiao spoke frankly: "Boss, I have no conscience, but I really didn't touch them."
She was also very sad. The two pots of flowers that Boss Shen gave her died under her careful care.
On the twelfth day after Boss Shen planted the Kalanchoe, she held a small funeral for the two flowers in the backyard, crying. The eulogy was:
"My twenty taels!"
She pounded the ground and cried and wailed.
Tian Bajiao said, "Boss, every failure is a lesson for you. Please get up, please get up. Your clothes are dirty and need to be washed."
Boss Shen has been in a trance since yesterday and can't do anything. Tian Bajiao really doesn't want to add more work to himself.
Boss Shen didn't listen either. He said tiredly and weakly, "Why are you still washing? Just let me stay like this and turn into mud. My twenty taels, why did I believe them!!!"
Anyone with sympathy would feel sad for her upon seeing this scene. For example, Madam Wang patted Boss Shen's shoulder sympathetically and said solemnly, "My condolences."
But some people have no compassion and that's just despicable.
Tian Bajiao shoveled up the soil and buried the rotten roots.
Liu Suniang was clinging to the top of the wall, cracking melon seeds and giggling. Her face was almost broken by laughter, and she was still saying something mean: "What did I say, you big fool."
