Chapter 261 What conditions?
Wen Zhenyi knew it wouldn't be that easy, but asking for payment now was better than owing someone a favor forever: "What are the conditions?"
"The Song family asked you to host the banquet when Song Yi gets married."
"when?"
"At the end of the year."
"Please tell your young master that I've agreed to this matter. Ask them to notify me at least one month in advance. I need to know the number of guests and their specifications so that I can formulate a menu."
"Yes, I will definitely pass it on." The servant turned around and went back to report.
Wen Zhenyi turned around and saw Old Lady Ma looking at her not far away: "Grandma."
Old Mrs. Ma smiled lovingly: "Have I caused you any trouble?"
Wen Zhenyi walked over to her and took her arm: "It's not a big deal. Cooking is not my forte."
"This wedding banquet is not easy to prepare."
"I know. I know what's going on. This is good, too. It's better than always being in someone's debt."
"It was originally our responsibility to pay it back, but in the end, it fell on your head."
"Everyone is the same."
Old Lady Ma patted her hands and asked, "Are you planning to go back?"
"How do you know?"
"Just now a clerk came to deliver something, and I saw you bought a lot of things, big and small, so I knew you were going back."
"I've been out for a few days now. If I don't go back soon, my mother and the others will be worried."
Old Ma was reluctant to let her go, but she also knew that her parents were there: "Do you want your cousin to send you off?"
"No need. Ah Xiang and I both have kung fu skills. Ordinary people are no match for us."
"Even so, you two girls still need to be careful when you go on the road."
"I know."
At night, Wen Zhenyi secretly hid the jewelry that he wanted to give to Old Lady Ma and the others under the bed so that they would see it when they came to clean up.
I also left them a letter explaining the situation. If I had given it to them in person, they probably wouldn't have accepted it.
Ah Xiang packed up their belongings and said, "Master, the carriage will come to pick us up early tomorrow morning."
Wen Zhen nodded: "Rest early, we will go back early tomorrow morning. I don't know if Xiao Taozi can handle it alone."
"Has Xiao Taozi changed a lot now?" A Xiang knew about Xiao Taozi's past.
“The changes are quite big.”
The two of them closed their eyes and fell asleep after chatting for a while.
The Ma family got up early in the morning. Wen Zhenyi was leaving today, so they had to see them off.
What Wen Zhenyi didn't expect was that the driver who came to pick them up was an old acquaintance: "Uncle Biaozi."
Biaozi looks a bit ferocious, and even if he wants to be more restrained, it is difficult for him to give people a friendly impression.
When Old Man Ma saw Biaozi, his brows furrowed tightly, and he pulled Wen Zhenyi aside: "Yiyi, do you know this guy?"
"I know him. We're old friends."
"Are you sure everything is alright?"
When Wen Zhenyi saw how nervous he was, he probably knew the reason: "Grandpa, he just looks a little fierce, but he's a pretty good person."
"real?"
"Really, you still don't believe me."
"It's not that I don't believe you, but after all, you two girls should be careful when you go back."
"He's fine. It's actually safer with him around."
Old Man Ma nodded and said nothing more.
Ma Can brought his two sons and loaded all the things she bought into the carriage.
Ma Ruier was reluctant to leave the two of them, her eyes slightly red: "Cousin, when will you come again?"
"I'll come again on the fifteenth of next month, and every month from now on, so don't think I'm annoying then."
Ma Ruier was no longer sad when she heard this: "So I can see you every month."
Wen Zhen nodded slightly and whispered in her ear, "There's something on the bed in my room. Remember to get it when I leave."
"What?"
"Wait until I'm gone, then you can get it."
Although Ma Ruier didn't know what it was, she nodded anyway.
Naiyou knew that she was leaving, so she didn’t go out to play last night and slept obediently next to Wen Zhenyi.
When Wen Zhenyi looked at the little guy whose fur was much shinier, he knew that it had been living well recently and seemed to have gained some weight.
Cream lay on her shoulder, looking at the people present with her small eyes.
"Grandma, grandma, uncles, aunts, cousins, we're leaving."
"Be careful on the road, and remember to send us a message when you get home to let us know you're safe."
"Okay." Wen Zhenyi and the others got on the carriage and looked at the Ma family getting farther and farther away. Only then did they have time to talk to Biaozi: "Uncle Biaozi, why are you in the county town?"
"Have you forgotten the business you told me about?"
Wen Zhenyi really didn't take it seriously. After all, this was a matter that could be left to someone else to do, so she didn't have to do it herself and it didn't require her to spend any money. She didn't care whether it could be done or not.
"I really forgot."
Biaozi drove the carriage and shook his head helplessly: "This time we are here to deal with the store and warehouse in the county."
"Have you reached the county seat yet?"
Biaozi turned to look at the two of them: "You don't care at all. You just finished telling me, and I've already opened my business in town."
"The effect is quite good. Some villages are quite far away, and it takes a long time for them to go there by themselves. Having us deliver the goods makes things much more convenient, and more importantly, it saves them the time of going back and forth."
"Was there anyone there at the beginning?"
"No, people were scared when they saw us. Later, some people came to us because they really had urgent matters and couldn't leave. That's when we started to gain business."
Wen Zhenyi touched his chin and said, "Everything is difficult at the beginning. Once you have your first business, the rest will be much easier."
"That's right. Since then, word of our business has spread, and many people have asked if we can deliver to other towns."
"It seems to be going well."
"Smoothness is only on the surface. There are local tyrants everywhere. It's not easy to get along with them. After all, we used to keep our distance from each other. Now that our business has reached their territory, we have to deal with some things."
Wen Zhenyi could hear the fatigue in his voice: "Not going well?"
"They saw this profitable business and were jealous, wanting to get a piece of the action. But later on, they saw that we were only making small profits, and it was hard-earned money, so they gave up."
"They only see the immediate benefits."
Biaozi smiled and said, "Yes, we calculated recently and after deducting the costs, we made quite a lot of money this month."
"This is great. If we don't want to expand in the future, we can find good people to join us."
Biaozi heard a new term: "What does it mean to join?"
"That means finding a partner. You guys will be responsible for the goods in An County, and others will be responsible for the goods outside of An County. This way, the goods can be circulated quickly."
