Chapter 878: Things to do first
Qin Eryong saw Zhou Jiu off, sang a little song happily, and prepared to go to the workshop to take a look.
Before he even reached the workshop, he saw Daniu running towards him, "Daniu, what happened?"
Daniu pointed forward and said, "Uncle Eryong, the lady said she wants to discuss something with you."
Qin Eryong didn't waste a moment and turned around with Daniu, heading towards Zhang Juexia's house. "What did the Madam say?"
"I don't know."
Zhang Juexia didn't expect Qin Eryong to come so quickly. "Sister-in-law, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Zhang Juexia pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit down and talk."
"Sister-in-law, if I'm not mistaken, you called me here because of Zhou Jiu!"
"That's right, Zhou Jiu originally followed Liu Hong. The fact that they are together shows that they have the same bad taste.
I was wondering what Zhou Jiu's next move would be if his business deal with me didn't pan out."
Qin Eryong also started to think, "Sister-in-law, to be honest, a villain like Zhou Jiu is often easy to dodge but difficult to guard against. I'm afraid he's doing something bad behind my back."
"I understand. The first time they tried to negotiate business with us openly, they didn't succeed.
Who knows what shady tricks he might use in the future!
However, I didn't say this because I was afraid of him.
I was thinking, should we do things in advance?"
"Sitting in front? Sister-in-law, how do you do that?"
“After Zhou Jiu left, I thought about it and realized that there are actually quite a few merchants coming to Jinshui Town. Otherwise, our embroidery business wouldn’t have been so prosperous.
There's also Zhou Jiu's hotpot shop. Even though the food isn't very good, it still has a lot of people eating there."
After Zhang Juexia reminded him, Qin Eryong quickly understood her intention, "Sister-in-law means to open a food shop in Jinshui Town."
"Yes, that's what I thought. This food shop serves hot pot, barbecue, and fish.
Originally, I was considering the owner of Manfu Restaurant, Wan, and was reluctant to do the food business.
That day I asked Shopkeeper Li Xi and Shopkeeper Yao, and they said that Zhou Jiu's hot pot shop did not have much impact on Manfu Restaurant.
So, I thought we should just open the shop before Zhou Jiu makes his move, so that he won’t have any way out.”
After hearing what Zhang Juexia said, Qin Eryong rubbed his hands excitedly, "Madam, this is good news!
There's no shortage of ingredients, all we need to do is find a good shop and open it when the time comes."
"Could you spare some time recently to go to town and choose a shop?"
Qin Eryong is most willing to do this kind of work of going out for social events, "Sister-in-law, I can spare some time.
In fact, I have been learning how to do things just like you.
I found a few young and promising people in the village. If I were not in the village, I could do some simple things.
Unless something particularly big happens, they have to wait for me to come back and make a decision.
So far, nothing major has happened in Zhuangzi.
However, I think that if something serious happens, I'm afraid you will have to make the decision."
Zhang Juexia praised Qin Eryong and said, "You are already in this position, you really can't do everything yourself.
When you meet a capable young person, just let go appropriately.
We just have to pay more and not let these young people down."
“I understand, sister-in-law.
This is what I think. Before we look for a shop, we can go to Manfu Restaurant and talk to Manager Wan.
Ask him if he has any suitable places to recommend.
Also, this shop is an easy choice, but who will be the person in charge in the future, sister-in-law, have you thought about it?"
"Do you have any recommendations?"
Qin Eryong shook his head like a rattle, "Sister-in-law, if you buy a farm in the future, I might have someone to recommend.
But I don’t know how to run a shop, and I don’t have anyone around me who does.”
"Then you go to Jinshui Town first to handle the business. I'll go find Li Le to handle the shop owner's business."
"I'll go right away!"
Qin Eryong turned around and was about to leave when Zhang Juexia stopped him again, "When you go to Jinshui Town, be careful of Zhou Jiu and be sure to pay attention to your safety.
Also, find someone to keep an eye on Zhou Jiu's every move."
"Okay, sister-in-law."
After Qin Eryong left, Zhang Juexia discussed with Li Yun about returning to Shunhe County.
Both of them said that they didn’t stay in Cuiliu Village long enough, but they had to leave because they had things to do.
Zhang Juexia then remembered the purpose of their visit to the manor, and she pulled Li Yun aside to gossip, "Your Da Niu and Er Niu have also been staying at the manor for a while. Do you have any girls you like?"
It would have been fine if Zhang Juexia hadn't mentioned it, but this time Li Yun started to complain again, "Madam, those two brats, after coming to the farm, were either busy in the workshop or running around in the fields with Eryong's brothers, farming, fishing, picking vegetables. They even followed Xiaoli to deliver fish to the county town a few times.
Anyway, I was busy all day and never thought about finding a wife.
Alas, I have figured it out now. Let it be whatever it is!
If it really doesn't work out, when I return to the county town, I will ask the matchmaker to find a wife for them.
But then he thought again, this is unfair to the girl, and they both don't like it, so they just turned their faces and left.
Leaving the girl alone in an empty house, it's not a good idea to think about it!"
Zhang Juexia nodded as he packed his things, "Sister-in-law Yang, let me tell you, let's just let things take their own course.
Just like the peach blossoms, maybe one day I’ll bring you a wife.”
"I hope you will give me your blessing, Madam!"
Zhang Juexia thought of something else and asked Li Yun quietly, "Sister-in-law Yang, have you been taking good care of your son-in-law lately?"
Li Yun smiled gratefully at Zhang Juexia, "I knew that Madam cared about Taohua.
I think it's fine. That day, I even observed it from a distance.
Brother Eryong thinks highly of him, and has let Xiaoli handle most of the fish pond matters."
"That's good."
"I think our in-laws are pretty good people.
At the beginning, I was a little worried that Xiaoli, as the eldest in the family, might have a heavier burden on his shoulders.
When I arrived at the farm, I saw that no one in the family was lazy and everyone had work to do.
Seeing this, I felt relieved. "
"Sister Yang, is Xiaoli at the farm now?"
“They shouldn’t be here. They always take the fish out of the pond in the morning and send them to the county town.
They came back in the afternoon.”
"How about this, let's go back to the county tomorrow. When Xiaoli comes back in the afternoon, you can ask him to come see me."
Li Yun's heart skipped a beat after hearing what Zhang Juexia said. "Madam, has Xiaoli gotten into any trouble?"
Zhang Juexia looked at Li Yun's nervous expression and smiled, "Sister-in-law Yang, you are already showing concern for your son-in-law.
Nothing, I just want to chat with Xiaoli."
Li Yun was still worried, "Is everything really okay?"
