Chapter 293 The Stubborn Qin Eryong
Qin Eryong would come to the county town every two or three days, and the team that originally consisted of one person now consisted of two people.
Following him came a young man named Dazhu who was bought by Zhang Juexia a while ago. It was said that his father was a rickshaw driver. When Qin Eryong asked who could drive the rickshaw, he stepped forward.
In this way, Liu Wanfeng would have one less person. Zhang Juexia asked Qin Eryong, and Qin Eryong said that it was not a big problem, otherwise, he would not have made this decision.
"Sister-in-law, the main thing is that we're sending out more and more things now. Live chickens for the fried chicken shop, eggs ordered by several wealthy families, and the Manfu Restaurant in town, plus Zuixianlou.
These two restaurants also need a lot of things, Manfu Restaurant is of course the most important.
At Zuixianlou, the last time I came, I brought them a few wild rabbits. Unexpectedly, they sold very well, so this time, Manager Chen specifically asked me to send him a few more next time.
There are also a few wealthy families who order some game from time to time.
So, one carriage really couldn't hold all the people. I discussed it with Brother Wanfeng and Uncle Yunhai and decided to add another carriage.
Sister-in-law, you won't blame me for acting on my own, right? "
Zhang Juexia let Qin Eryong drink some water, "How could that be? When your brother Bei Xiu and I were not at home, you were able to discuss this with Uncle Yun Hai and Brother Wan Feng and make this decision. I can't express my happiness enough!
Eryong, you've made rapid progress and deserve praise."
Qin Eryong scratched his forehead embarrassedly, "It's mainly because of my sister-in-law and Brother Bei Xiu's good teaching. Sister-in-law, you don't know how much the people in the village envy me now.
To be honest, the life Yulan and I are living now is something we couldn’t even imagine before.”
"I still say that, as long as you work hard, your brother Bei Xiu and I will definitely owe you a lot."
"Sister-in-law, you and Brother Bei Xiu are my adopted parents. Without your help, I, Qin Eryong, would not be where I am today.
Don't worry, I will do my best. Besides, if I have other thoughts, I'm afraid Yulan won't forgive me."
"Eryong, your sister-in-law will remember what you said. But then again, this is also the result of your hard work.
If you don’t work hard, you won’t be able to seize the opportunity we gave you.”
Qin Eryong felt even more embarrassed after hearing what Zhang Juexia said, and his face turned slightly red. However, he soon remembered that he still had important matters to attend to. "Sister-in-law, I brought some of the fresh corn you asked me to break. These were also picked by Uncle Yunhai and the others in the fields."
When Zhang Juexia heard there was fresh corn, he quickly stood up and said, "I have to go take a look."
She took some fresh corn from the carriage, peeled off the husks, and pinched it with her fingers. It was so tender that juice could be squeezed out. She quickly instructed Dazhu who was standing next to her, "Dazhu, please take this to the kitchen for me. Ask Sister Yang to cook it for me at noon today. I love it."
Qin Eryong watched Zhang Juexia so happy and swallowed back what he wanted to say.
To be honest, Uncle Yunhai complained a lot about breaking these fresh corns, which meant that he disliked Zhang Juexia for not knowing how to live. These were fresh food, so how could they be wasted like this?
But Ye Beixiu had already warned him several times, and if he didn't obey and broke a few more up, he would probably be scolded again.
Zhang Juexia thought to himself, "This crop of corn should be quite ripe by now!"
Qin Eryong wondered whether to lie, but after thinking about the consequences, he decided to tell the truth, "I've become much more familiar with you."
"Then why did you bring so little?"
Qin Eryong was stunned. This was fresh food. It was good enough to just taste it, and it could even be eaten as a meal. He stammered and didn't know how to respond.
Zhang Juexia was thinking about how to sell the fresh corn, and didn't notice Qin Eryong's expression.
"Tomorrow, break as much ripe corn as you can from the field and bring it to me."
"this......."
Qin Eryong's eyes widened like lanterns and he took a few steps back in shock.
"What? Is there a problem?"
Qin Eryong's mind raced as he pondered a strategy, "How about you discuss this with Brother Bei Xiu when he comes back?
After all, it's not easy for us to grow crops in the mountains. Even though you have plenty of money now, you can't eat all this fresh corn in one go!"
Zhang Juexia smiled helplessly, "I'm not a pregnant woman. Besides, if I could eat so much food in one breath, I would really become a monster."
"Then it would be a waste if you don't eat it."
"I sold them for silver, so how could it be a waste?"
"In silver?"
Qin Eryong became more and more confused.
Zhang Juexia also felt tired. Qin Eryong's brain was quite good, so why was he confused now?
Li Yun came in with the cooked corn. "Madam, I heard you say this was delicious the other day, so I brought it to you as soon as it came out of the pot."
The freshly cooked corn smelled delicious. Zhang Juexia, regardless of her image, picked up one, blew on it, and prepared to bite it. "Hmm, it smells so good! Sister Yang, please pack some cooked corn and have Lin Yuan send it to the Li residence so that Miss Li can have a taste."
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
Zhang Juexia asked Qin Eryong to sit down, "You can try it too."
"It's not like I haven't eaten it before, but... Sister-in-law, let me tell you the truth. When I was a kid, I was beaten a lot for stealing fresh corn."
"Didn't your village not farm before?"
"There were corns grown at the foot of the mountain. We all ran down to the mountain to steal them. After stealing them, we didn't dare go home. We found a deserted place, found some dry firewood, and roasted the fresh corn over the fire. It smelled so good!"
"You guys are really good!"
Qin Eryong smiled awkwardly. "When I'm lucky, it's okay. I don't get caught and nothing happens to me. But when I'm unlucky, I get caught by the master and taken home. Not only do my family have to pay them money, but I also get beaten up."
"Then you must try it and recall the taste of your childhood."
"I......"
Qin Eryong finally made up his mind, “Sister-in-law, I don’t want you to break all the fresh corn tomorrow.
This is food, we can't waste it like this. If there were a famine, these corns could save countless lives."
"I didn't ruin them. I just exchanged them for silver."
"The main thing is that you dare to sell, but no one dares to buy. This will make people criticize you."
Seeing that Qin Eryong was getting excited, Zhang Juexia didn't know how to persuade him for a moment, "Just break them up, and I'll sell them later!"
"Then wait until Brother Bei Xiu arrives."
“Why are you so stubborn this time? Let me tell you this, your brother Bei Xiu was the same when he came.
I have the final say in all matters in our family.
I sell this fresh corn by the root, and one root is ten coins, which can buy two pounds of dried corn kernels. Which one do you think is suitable?"
