Master Jia glared at him. What a shameful thing! Didn’t he understand that scarcity makes things valuable?
"Ahem...Okay, let's start with a 200-pound one!"
Tang Youyou quickly persuaded: "Brother, isn't two hundred kilograms too much? If these vegetables are left for too long, they will no longer be fresh. Besides, there will be new dishes in a few days!"
Mr. Jia smiled slightly in his heart, and his liking for her became even stronger.
"Don't worry, maybe this isn't enough!"
Tang Youyou was delighted and said, "Send it back in two hours!"
After everyone left, the housekeeper persuaded him: "Master, this woman is asking for an exorbitant price. What kind of vegetable can be sold for two hundred coins per catty?" She is really being taken advantage of.
Master Jia was very displeased, "With your brain, you deserve to be a butler for life!"
Housekeeper: I just feel sorry for you, and now you are blaming me!
I only heard Master Jia's instructions: "Give ten pounds to each of the people we visit frequently, and load the rest into the carriage. I'm going to Nanzhou!"
After receiving the large order, the whole village became busy and didn’t even have lunch.
Tang Youyou watched everyone sorting the leeks and reminded: "Separate the big leeks from the small ones and tie them up with palm leaves!"
"Sister, that's a good idea. Bundle them in a bunch, one pound at a time. It's neat and easy to count!"
At the end of noon, all the dishes were ready. Tang Youyou warned Tang Wu: "Brother, I'm shy, so you should be thicker-skinned. Hand over the money and the goods!"
Tang Wu patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, sister!"
She looked at the large bamboo basket beside her and shook her head. The packaging of such expensive vegetables was really too ugly. Today, Mr. Jia was obviously going to give it away as a gift, so the basket must be improved.
"father……"
Old Man Tang was very busy. When he saw her coming, he nodded slightly and had no time to chat.
Seeing this, she picked and chose among the finished products and finally selected two.
"Dad, just make one this size in the future! It would be even better if the handle had some shape!"
Old Man Tang waved his hand and said, "Come and take a look. Is this okay?"
His fingers flew and a small pattern appeared.
Tang Youyou was extremely surprised, "Dad, you are really amazing, just follow this!"
Old Man Tang rarely smiled, "Okay, you have the final say!"
Liao brought tea and handed it to the two of them, "Sister, you don't know, Dad has earned a tael of silver these days!"
Tang Youyou was even more surprised. She learned from Liao that the village chief had converted all the baskets used to hold vegetables into silver that morning.
"Alas... I said no, but the village chief insisted on giving it to me!"
"Dad, just keep it. You earned it with your own hands! And our vegetables are already selling at a good price. Don't worry about the villagers' well-being!"
Seeing that Old Man Tang's expression had relaxed, Liao smiled and said, "Dad is the main source of income for the family now. We all rely on you!"
"Who says it's not true? With Dad's skills, if he opens a shop in the capital, it will definitely be packed with people!"
Old Man Tang gave them both a reproachful look and said, "You two only know how to make me, an old man, happy!"
The two looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
At the hour of You, the two Tang and Wen brothers came back with bruised faces and noses.
Tang Youyou's heart skipped a beat, "What on earth is going on?"
Tang Wu took out the four silver ingots from his arms and grinned, "Sister, the silver is fine!"
Tang Youyou's nose felt sore, "I'm asking what's wrong with your faces?"
"It's okay. Someone tried to steal our money, but Steward Jia led his men to beat them away!"
Xiong Er was invited over. Seeing the two men like this, he took a deep breath and said, "Why don't you two run? This is a fatal move!"
"You two idiots, which is more important, life or money? Alas..." The village chief also sighed, looking at the two men's pig-like faces, unable to bear to look at them.
"Hiss... Doctor Xiong, be gentle, be gentle..."
Tang Youyou looked at the two people's grinning faces and decided to hire someone. She didn't know how to clone herself, and within a few days, the orders would increase. Maybe someone would come to cause trouble, so she had to take precautions in advance.
The next day, Tang Youyou took Xue'er, Lin Huahua, and Bai Ruoyi to the county town.
Xue'er and Lin Huahua sat on the ox cart with inexplicable anticipation.
"Mom, this is my second time in the county town!"
"That's right. I was laughed at when I passed by the county town when I settled there. I kept my head down and didn't even get a clear look at what the county town looked like!"
Tang Youyou laughed heartily: "Then you two must take a good look today!"
The ox cart stopped outside the city gate. It was Tang Youyou's first time to look at the county town. The previous times she came here were for livelihood and she was in a hurry, but today she came as a guest.
Several people were strolling on the street, looking at embroidery and cosmetics. Tang Youyou looked at the two girls.
"Buy, buy, buy... Buy everything you like today!"
The two looked at each other, both excited, and the vendor also looked happy.
"I just think these are new and not practical at all!" Although Xue'er said this, her eyes were fixed on a silver hairpin and she was reluctant to blink.
Lin Huahua also put down the handkerchief in her hand. "Big sister is right. I have to work all day. This handkerchief is easy to scratch and is not practical..."
The vendor rolled his eyes. "Why are you looking at it if you're not going to buy anything?"
Tang Youyou also rolled her eyes, "You deserve it because your business is bad. How can you know if it's suitable if you don't see it?"
The vendor put his hands on his hips and scolded like a shrew, "Why are you pretending to be rich when you don't have any money? I've seen people like you many times! Bah..."
Seeing this, Xue'er quickly grabbed Tang Youyou who was about to refute, "Mom, let's go look somewhere else!"
Tang Youyou glared at the vendor and walked to the next stall: "You two pick one!"
The two men hesitated to speak, knowing that she was angry, so they had to pick one reluctantly.
