Chapter 244: Beat him up, but don’t kill him!
In the following days, Xu Zhiyi focused on promoting green vegetables, and the five shops were handed over to Shen Changan and Shen Wuyou for management. She only needed to check the account book for the day before going to bed every day.
Today, Xu Zhiyi brought vegetables to the town to set up a stall as usual. In the past few days, he had promoted his vegetables to all the wealthy families, restaurants and food stalls in the town.
Within a few days, those who came back to buy again were basically the big families in the town and the restaurants. There are a total of nine restaurants in the town. Compared with other towns, Yuehua Town has more restaurants, but it's a pity that only two were successfully sold, and there has been no repurchase yet.
"Manager Xu! Give me 20 catties of white cabbage, white radish, and winter cabbage."
Xu Zhiyi: "Hey, we have some winter onions today, would you like some?"
"Okay, five pounds will be fine."
Xu Zhiyi weighed the items separately and then moved them to the customer's cart. Cabbage and sunflower greens were four copper coins per pound, white radish was two copper coins per pound, and winter onions were five copper coins per pound, a total of two hundred and twenty coins.
Then a few more people were sold, and most of them were servants sent by the managers of wealthy families.
"Hey, Shopkeeper Xu, how many dishes do you have today? We at Hongyunlou have them all. We need 300 kilograms of vegetables every day."
When Xu Zhiyi heard the number, he asked curiously, "Three hundred kilograms? Can you use it up every day?"
"Yes, our main restaurant is in the county town. This one in town is a small restaurant. We who run restaurant businesses usually sign contracts with farms and have long-term cooperative farmers deliver vegetables to us!"
"To be honest, Shopkeeper Xu, the vegetables you grow are not only better than those grown by other farmers, but they also taste different when they are fried. Most importantly, the guests who come here prefer the vegetables you buy."
Xu Zhiyi felt guilty when she heard that. She used fertilizer to irrigate the crops, but other people's farms used real animal manure. The only difference was that she did a good job of preventing insects, so her crops looked better than those grown by others.
"So, Shopkeeper Xu, our boss said that we will cooperate with you for a long time in the future, and we can buy at least 300 kilograms every day."
Xu Zhiyi: “Really?”
"Of course it's true, but... the contract between the boss and the farmer's farm is still valid for one month. The boss said that if you can wait a month before signing the contract, he is willing to sign with you for three years."
After hearing this, Xu Zhiyi waved her hand indifferently and agreed. She didn't suffer any loss anyway. Before signing the contract, the vegetables she delivered every day were paid in cash. Even if she changed her mind and didn't sign the contract after a month, she could still deliver 300 kilograms every day for a month.
After delivering the dishes to Hongyun Tower, on the way back, he ran into Gu Yun waving goodbye to a fat girl wearing a face scarf. The fat girl got on the carriage reluctantly.
It was not until the carriage turned around that Gu Yun took out his handkerchief to wipe his hands, and then threw it away in disgust!
"Sister Xu?" Gu Yun turned around and saw Xu Zhiyi who was trying to take a detour.
"Sister Xu, what you just saw is not what you think. I have nothing to do with that fat woman. She was the one who kept pestering me. I don't like her. How can she compare to a hair of yours..."
Xu Zhiyi stopped the mule cart and looked at the fat girl behind Gu Yun. At this moment, she was standing outside the carriage. When she heard what Gu Yun said, she covered her chest, feeling sad and angry that she had been deceived.
"Gu Yun, you're done! The girl you're talking about, is that the one behind you? Also, if you call me Sister Xu again, I'll let you know what it means to live a life worse than death!"
Gu Yun was a little frightened when he heard that, but when he heard Xu Zhiyi talking about the girl behind him, he immediately turned around with a puzzled look on his face. As a result, he saw the fat woman who had returned. He was so scared that he wanted to go over and explain quickly, but when he saw Xu Zhiyi here, he stopped.
He was very conflicted. On one hand, there was Xu Zhiyi, with whom he wanted to rekindle his old relationship, and on the other hand, there was the ugly daughter of a rich family who was the source of his purse.
Today I can only choose one side, I'm afraid the other side cannot be saved!
After struggling for a while, he finally understood. Xu Zhiyi looked pretty good, and they both had money, so why did he insist on an ugly one? Wouldn't it be better to choose one that was both good-looking and rich?
After figuring it out, he immediately looked at the fat girl with confidence, and pretended to bow and said: "Girl, I really don't have any romantic feelings for you. This... I've been with you these days just because I treat you as my sister."
"If I have caused you any misunderstanding, I apologize!"
"You...you are shameless! Have you been treating our young lady as your sister these days? You clearly hinted that you wanted to marry my young lady..."
Gu Yun: "I didn't say it clearly, it was just a misunderstanding between you two, master and servant!"
Xu Zhiyi: "Gu Yun, I didn't expect you to be even more shameless. It's really disgusting!"
Then, before leaving, he looked at the girl and said, "Girl, it's a good thing to know in advance how shameless and disgusting a person is."
"Sister Xu...Miss Xu! You have to believe me, there is really nothing between her and me..." Gu Yun saw Xu Zhiyi driving away in the mule cart, and immediately shouted anxiously to explain.
This sentence completely angered the fat girl, and she immediately ordered the groom, "Uncle Yun, go over there and beat him to death. Just don't beat him to death!"
"Yes, Miss!"
Gu Yun: "You...what are you going to do? I'm a scholar!"
"Ah! Help!"
"Bah, do you despise our young lady? With your poor appearance, if our young lady doesn't despise you, your ancestors' graves will be filled with smoke!"
Uncle Yun didn't stop until he beat the man to death, then he drove away in a carriage taking his young lady away.
Xu Zhiyi drove a mule cart to the noodle shop. Because the previous tenant was in the food business, after taking over the shop, he simply renovated it and opened it for business!
The noodles are freshly made in the shop, the rice noodles are made at home, and the jellyfish noodles can be used to make hot and sour noodles.
Ten people from the village were hired, including one person from each of the Ye, Hu, and Lin families, and the remaining five were selected from the village.
Four people were left in the milk tea snack shop, three people were left in the noodle shop, and three people were left at home to help make rice noodles and jellyfish noodles, which were semi-finished products that were easy to dry. They were taken to the store, soaked in water, and put in buckets for later use.
"Go away, if you're not buying anything, just go away and don't interrupt my business."
"Boss, are you hiring anyone? I can do any job."
"No, go ask someone else!"
After asking along the way, he finally stopped at the door of Xu Zhiyi's noodle shop. He saw a row of shops, but none of them needed anyone. So he stood in front of the shop and looked around, thinking, if this shop didn't need anyone either, then he might as well go to the pawnshop and ask!
"Excuse me, does your shop still need to hire a waiter?"
Xu Zhiyi had just stopped the mule cart when she heard these words. When everyone looked over, she found that the man looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him!
"I'm the owner of this shop. Have you ever been a waiter before?"
After hearing what Xu Zhiyi said, Chi Sheng shook his head honestly: "No... But I can learn. You can try to let me do it for a few days. As long as you are not satisfied, I can waive the wages for those days..."
After saying that, he looked at Xu Zhiyi with anticipation. He really needed this job now.
Xu Zhiyi thought that the shop could indeed hire a handyman, so he looked at the man in front of him and said, "Fifteen cents a day, two meals a day, and helping with odd jobs in the shop, is that acceptable?"
Hearing this, Chi Sheng was so excited that he promised again and again: "Sure... I will definitely work hard and will never let you down..."
Xu Zhiyi: "Well, follow me into the shop. Also, what's your name?"
"My name is Chisheng, Chi means late, the life means life..."
