Chapter 154 Missing a Large Fortune
Zhu Yixuan immediately ordered, "Well, go ask for me again. If there is any, buy as much as possible for me. The price is negotiable."
He didn't think it was expensive before he ate it, but he no longer thought so after he ate it.
If you can get a few baskets, they'd be great for visiting relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year.
After saying that, he pointed his chopsticks at the tomatoes mixed with brown sugar. As soon as he put it in his mouth, an icy, sour and sweet taste attacked his taste buds and his saliva was secreted quickly, which surprised him.
"This is a delicious snack that can help you get rid of the greasiness."
Ke Yunyun looked at the beautiful color of the tomato and took a bite. Her eyes lit up and she said, "Delicious!"
Seeing that she liked it, Zhu Yixuan immediately took out a hundred taels and gave it to Su Chuan, "I want this too, the more the better!"
"There is also fish. This kind of fish does not seem to be the species from our Zhaohua County. It is very delicious when made into soup, and has no fishy smell. If you have it, buy more, the more the better." Zhu Yixuan took another sip of the fish soup, looking very enjoyable.
Su Chuan quickly agreed.
Zhu Yixuan hadn't left yet, but he went out again.
Because he was not carrying anything and was driving a horse-drawn carriage, it was just dark when he arrived at Shenjiazhuang.
When Chen Yi and his wife saw Su Chuan coming back, they were confused.
"Why are you back so soon?" Shen Yi said as he parked Su Chuan's carriage and put the horse in the stable to feed it.
Su Chuan smiled bitterly, "Don't mention it. I had already returned to the county town and completed my mission, but who knew that Master Zhu would come over and eat a meal made by my mother. He insisted that I come over to buy a few baskets of corn, tomatoes and the fish for the soup, that is."
He did his best to describe the species of fish.
Shen Yi listened silently and led him to the water tank in the kitchen, "Which one?"
Su Chuan: “.”
After Su Chuan's confirmation, Shen Yi said to Su Tai, "Wife, that Mr. Zhu wants crucian carp."
Su Tai nodded, her face calm, "How much do you want?"
Su Chuan quickly took out a hundred taels of silver and said, "Mr. Zhu said the more the better. My dear cousin, can you give me some?"
Su Tai took the silver without hesitation and said, "Cousin, you have worked so hard, I must sell you, but you really can't get it back by yourself, tomorrow I will ask Shen Yi to go to the town to hire two carriages for you to go together."
"Okay, okay! These are not a big deal." Su Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled brightly.
When he returned to the room to rest, Su Tai left her daughter to the care of Chen Yi, and went out to the water to set up a nest and cast a fishing net.
Now she can set up seven or eight fishing nets a day, and she also has special baskets for catching crabs and crayfish. The harvest is always good, and she has no pressure to take any order.
After leaving the Water Spacetime, she went to the Wood Spacetime vegetable store and ordered four large baskets of sweet corn and four large baskets of tomatoes from the owner.
The next day, when Su Chuan woke up, he found that Shen Yi had already prepared what he wanted.
He didn't know how the couple managed to handle so many things. Looking back at Shen Dagou and Shen Xiang who were busy in the kitchen, he swallowed the words back.
It is obvious that my cousin and his wife are not ordinary villagers. Since they can hire people to help at home, there must be a lot of people helping outside. It’s pointless to ask too much.
Su Tai liked his tact and pointed at the things on the carriage and said, "Mr. Zhu is very generous, and I can't let down this one hundred taels of silver, so I loaded as many things as possible, but the corn and tomatoes are limited, and I can't spare more, so I have to make do with fish.
These large wooden basins are all filled with crucian carp, and this basin is filled with some relatively large carp and grass carp, estimated to weigh more than eight kilograms, which are perfect for giving as gifts or keeping for New Year banquets."
Su Chuan didn't expect there were so many big fish. It was really a pleasant surprise. He immediately thanked Su Taichenyi and drove away in the carriage with his men.
Such a large-scale march into the city would certainly attract the attention of others.
Su Chuan didn't want to cause trouble for Ke Yunyun, so he went into the city quietly ahead of time, unloaded some corn, tomatoes and crucian carp, went out to meet other people, and then took them to Zhu's house.
When Zhu Yixuan received the news, he went out to check it out in person. He was overjoyed when he saw the things and praised Su Chuan a lot.
Bai Feng happened to come over, and when he saw this scene, his face instantly became long. Because the things on the carriage were covered, he couldn't see clearly, so he said to Zhu Yixuan in a sarcastic tone: "It seems that the eldest brother-in-law really has no one else under his control. He dares to use even the cats and dogs, and he is not afraid of ruining his own big plan."
Su Chuan suppressed his smile and didn't even look at Bai Feng. He just bowed respectfully to Zhu Yixuan and said, "Sir, I will take them to move their things in first."
Zhu Yixuan nodded in a very good mood, "Go ahead and get busy. You've worked so hard for so long, go back and have a good rest."
Seeing that neither of them listened to his words, Bai Feng was furious and scolded Su Chuan fiercely: "What an ungrateful bastard! A slave who betrays his master will not have a good end!"
Su Chuan had no intention of arguing with Bai Feng, but when he heard this, he became angry. He looked at Zhu Yixuan and said loudly, "Sir, I have behaved uprightly and have never done anything wrong. I cannot bear the blame from others. Please understand."
Zhu Yixuan looked at Bai Feng and then at Su Chuan, and said jokingly, "Okay, I know, you go down first."
Su Chuan finally felt relieved and led his men to unload the things, without even glancing at Bai Feng the whole time.
Bai Feng was furious and looked at Zhu Yixuan with dissatisfaction, "Brother, if you really don't have anyone around you, I can give you a few more. It's better to get rid of those useless eyesores as soon as possible."
Zhu Yixuan laughed in silence, his expression calm, "My brother-in-law is right, I really don't keep useless people around me, and anyone who can stay by my side must be of great use to me!"
Bai Feng didn't understand.
Zhu Yixuan said, "Su Chuan happened to get me a lot of good things. I'll ask the cook to cook them for you to try."
Bai Feng didn't take the good stuff in Zhu Yixuan's mouth seriously.
Su Chuan had been with him for so many years, what abilities did he not know? How could he get good things with that kind of stuff? I don't know what method he used to coax Zhu Yixuan around, his uncle is really going backwards.
Seeing Bai Feng's disdainful look, waiting to see a joke, Zhu Yixuan could not help but shook his head, without saying anything.
Wait for the servants to bring the prepared dishes.
Zhu Yixuan made a gesture of invitation, "Try it."
"Let's give it a try." Bai Feng picked up the chopsticks and took a bite.
As soon as he put it in his mouth, his face changed and he looked very excited, "Impossible, these things must not have been obtained by Su Chuan, he doesn't have that much ability!"
Bai Feng was very sure.
Zhu Yixuan shrugged, "But that's the fact. Not only can he get me winter vegetables and fish, but he can also solve many problems for me. What do you think if I take these things as a New Year's gift?"
What else can be done? Everyone has money, but what they lack is connections and channels. If Zhu Yixuan uses these things to do favors, it will definitely be talked about with relish, and the Zhu family's influence in Zhaohua County will be taken to a higher level.
