Chapter 397 Buying Oranges
"Don't worry, Miss Xiao. I've brought both the people and the goods here safely this time. As long as the shop is set up, we can open it at any time." Jin Ruyu's eyes moved slightly and said, "Miss Xiao, should we open the shop in the prefecture first or in the county first?"
Xiao Jiuyue pondered for a while before saying, "Fucheng."
After saying that, Xiao Jiuyue added, "Manager Jin, there are many noble ladies in the capital city, and they make a lot of money, so let's drive directly to the capital city and try to become famous overnight!"
"Okay!" Jin Ruyu listened to Xiao Jiuyue's words with a hint of anticipation in her eyes. She had launched several new lip balms before, and the ladies in Donglin County were buying them like crazy!
If we go to the provincial capital, how can the business be bad?
"Miss Xiao, when are we going to the provincial capital?" Jin Ruyu asked immediately.
“…”
Xiao Jiuyue paused and said, "Manager Jin, you must have had a hard time traveling all the way from Xiangcheng."
"It's not hard. If the shop is open one day less, we will earn one day less!" Jin Ruyu felt like her heart was bleeding just thinking about how she had spent more than half a month on this journey!
This is all her money.
"It may take about half a month to buy a shop in the capital." Xiao Jiuyue reminded gently that she decided to buy a shop after returning from Xiangcheng, so she must find a suitable one in the short term.
"We'll go to the prefectural capital in half a month." Jin Ruyu's eyes flickered as she said, "I brought a lot of goods this time, and I can't leave everyone idle. Does Miss Xiao have a shop in the county? When we make some money, we'll split it fifty-fifty!"
Jin Ruyu came to Xiao Jiuyue and decided to split the deal 50-50!
"Miss Xiao, I will provide the goods and the people, and you will run the shop. Just ensure its safety." Jin Ruyu had already thought about this on the way here, so she spoke very straightforwardly at this moment.
"Deal." Xiao Jiuyue said immediately, "Shopkeeper Jin, there's a ready-made shop in the county. You can bring the goods over and sell them right away."
"That's great." Jin Ruyu clapped her hands and said, "Then I'll go now. How long will it take to get to the county town?"
"Manager Jin, why not have lunch before going over? This place is quite close to the county town." Xiao Jiuyue said, "That's perfect. I'll have someone go to the county town to clean up the house first. We can't let Manager Jin come all the way here and stay in discomfort!"
Xiao Jiuyue's words, as gentle as a spring breeze, made Jin Ruyu particularly happy. She said, "Miss Xiao, it's okay. In the early years, I suffered even more."
Otherwise, how could she, a woman, support Ruyu Pavilion?
"Shopkeeper Jin, please allow me to show my hospitality." Xiao Jiuyue said jokingly, "It just so happens that the oranges here are tribute oranges. Shopkeeper Jin, you can try some."
"Tribute oranges!" Jin Ruyu's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Orange grove.
"What a nice smell! These oranges are so bright yellow and look so sweet." Jin Ruyu said excitedly when she saw the orange grove full of oranges, "I really came to the right place!"
She likes to eat oranges, but in Donglin County, it is not easy to eat sweet and delicious oranges.
"It tastes sweeter." Xiao Jiuyue has been eating oranges for three years, so this is not surprising at all.
Xu Yang and the boss looked at the orange grove eagerly. Ever since they knew these were tribute oranges and Jin Wu had people pick them for them to eat, the boss poked Xu Yang's arm and asked, "Xu Yang, you're quick-witted. How can we bring back more oranges?"
The boss opened his mouth and stuffed the orange into his mouth. The sweet orange burst in his mouth instantly. It was delicious!
Even better than their navel oranges!
"Buy it." Xu Yang said without thinking, "Brother, we are rich now, and this is Miss Xiao's territory. We agreed not to be bandits!"
"In the future, we'll also be selling wood ear mushrooms and fish cakes!" Xu Yang was afraid that his elder brother would want to snatch them back, so he quickly said, "Brother, there are so many oranges here. If we pick the best ones and send them to the palace, there will always be more than we can give away. So, can't we just buy some?"
"Xu Yang, I didn't say I wanted to rob." The eldest boss looked embarrassed, too embarrassed to admit that he had just wanted to rob. He said, "These oranges are not easy to eat in Hongdu. If we take them back, I'm afraid they will be eaten up on the way. Or, by the time we get to the village, everyone will have eaten them all. How can we eat them for a long time?"
"We do," Xu Yang said immediately. "But we also have orange trees there, but they're not as sweet as the ones here. The oranges are small and not sour at all."
"Xu Yang, what do you think? If we dig up the trees and take them back, will we be able to eat oranges next year?" the headmaster asked. Before Xu Yang could say anything, he added, "Xu Yang, what do you think of the girl next to that woman? I think she's pretty. I'd like to take her back to you as your wife."
"Brother, I'm only seventeen!" Xu Yang said with a blushing face, "Also, a master once told me that I can't get married before I'm twenty."
"When I was seventeen, my children were already two, and you were still a virgin!" The eldest boss looked at Xu Yang with disdain and said, "What a bullshit master said. From what I see, he just doesn't want you to get married early."
"Brother, this is what my mother asked me to promise before she died. I can't go against her." Xu Yang answered helplessly. His brother was good in everything except that he wanted to snatch back everything he saw.
When he saw a beautiful girl, he wanted to marry her.
"Okay, I don't care about you anymore." The boss changed the topic back to oranges. When Xiao Jiuyue followed Jin Ruyu down the mountain, the boss immediately expressed his desire to buy an orange tree.
"It's not easy to transplant a fruit-bearing tree, but I can give you a sapling." Xiao Jiuyue looked at the pile of orange peels at the feet of the boss. Well, he met two people who love to eat oranges, one is Jin Ruyu and the other is the boss.
"A small tree is fine too. We can wait a few years and then we can eat some." The eldest boss grinned. He didn't dare to say much, for fear that he would make mistakes and offend Xiao Jiuyue. He said, "Miss Xiao, can we buy some oranges? We are going back to Jiutou Village."
The big boss rubbed his hands and winked at Xu Yang beside him desperately, "Buy oranges, buy oranges! They have to go back to Jiutouzhai quickly and send some wood ear mushrooms and fish cakes before the snow falls. It would be a pity if they don't take some oranges with them."
"Of course, you can talk to the village head." Xiao Jiuyue directly pushed the two of them to Shi Lizheng. Anyway, there were so many oranges in the orange grove, and they had previously picked 10,000 kilograms of oranges for tribute this time, and this time they picked 20,000 kilograms of oranges. There were still a lot of oranges on the trees, so it would be a good thing to sell more for money!
"Let's go, let's go quickly." The boss pulled Xu Yang away, fearing that if they left too late, they would not be able to buy the oranges.
"Miss Xiao, they are really interesting. Their thoughts are written all over their faces." Jin Ruyu couldn't help but smile as she watched the boss and Xu Yang leaving. The words "buy oranges" were almost written on the boss's forehead.
