Chapter 106 Almost Hitting Someone
Zhang Juexia responded, "Shopkeeper Yao, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. I have to take my time."
"Anyway, you can't miss this great time to make money during the Chinese New Year.
I still say the same thing, if you deliver it before the twelfth lunar month, I will accept as many as I can, provided the quality is guaranteed."
"I understand, Manager Yao. When have I ever been vague about making money?"
After saying that, Zhang Juexia picked up his gloves and was about to walk out.
"Come on, you said you made it as a sample for me, so why did you wear it away again?"
"Isn't it cold? My little hands need it."
Manager Yao returned to the shop only after seeing Zhang Juexia off.
She quickly set about making arrangements for the gloves. "If this business takes off, we'll have a really good New Year."
"This Miss Ye is really a character, she's smart and has a lot of ideas.
Whoever marries her will be blessed with great fortune."
Shopkeeper Yao was cutting cloth and sighed, "It's a pity that some people don't know the value of it and don't like it."
"Who is so short-sighted?"
"Let's not worry about it. She's already married. Didn't you see?
Her husband is tall and handsome, and his eyes have never left her since he entered our shop."
"But why does my leg look a little lame?"
Shopkeeper Yao became impatient and said, "Stop, stop. No matter how good a person is, she is already taken and has nothing to do with us anymore.
I’m telling you this today, you have to make these gloves well and use all the creativity you’ve accumulated over the years.
If this thing sells well, I will give you a big red envelope during the Chinese New Year."
"Thank you, shopkeeper."
After hearing what Manager Yao said, the embroiderers shut up and concentrated on their work.
Zhang Juexia got on the carriage and took out the contract and read it again.
Ye Beixiu sighed at the side, "Madam, I didn't expect that after working all night yesterday, you could cooperate with Manager Yao."
Ye Beishan also admired Zhang Juexia, "Your sister-in-law's words are really true, she wants me to follow you.
You guys can eat the meat and we can drink the soup!"
"Brother, next time we eat meat, I'll let you drink more soup."
Ye Beixiu teased Ye Beishan with a smile.
Ye Beishan didn't take it seriously, "Sister-in-law, Bei Xiu has become a completely different person since he married you.
Nowadays, I’m so good at telling jokes.”
Zhang Juexia smiled slightly, "Brother, there's a market ahead. I need you to stop for a while so I can buy some things."
"That's perfect. I'll go take a look and see if there's anything your sister-in-law needs."
Zhang Juexia bought fifty eggs, and when he met Liu Dalong, he bought some peanuts.
They walked a little further in, but the old lady selling hawthorns didn't come.
While Zhang Juexia was stunned, he heard someone arguing, "It's cold now, and the chickens don't lay eggs as often. It's a waste of food to buy them home.
If my daughter-in-law wasn't in confinement after giving birth, I wouldn't have bought this thing.
You have so many chickens. If you don’t buy them at a lower price, how long will it take to sell them all?”
"It's not like my family needs money urgently, so I can't bear to sell it!"
"But you have to decide when to sell it. If you can't sell this episode, the weather will be even colder next time. It might even snow. I wonder who you're going to sell it to."
"Can you raise the price a little more, say 60 cents a piece?"
The voice of the woman who bought the chicken was so loud that it attracted a lot of people's attention.
Zhang Juexia also became a busybody and stood among the crowd.
"No, fifty cents a cent, not a cent more. If you don't sell, I'll buy someone else's."
The chicken seller gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, fifty cents each, take it!"
The onlookers felt that it was boring and dispersed.
At this time, the chicken seller seized the opportunity and shouted loudly, "I really have an emergency at home, and I am anxious to sell these chickens. Fifty cents each. Please, please be kind!"
Zhang Juexia felt sorry for the man selling chickens, and the price of the chickens was attractive. "I'll buy all your chickens."
Ye Beixiu leaned close to her and asked her in a low voice, "Madam, why did you buy so many chickens to take home?"
"Kill it and eat it!"
When the chicken seller heard that someone wanted to buy all her chickens, her hands were shaking with excitement. "Good man, this young lady is really a good person. Good people will be rewarded!"
"Old man, there are eleven chickens in total. Here are five hundred and fifty coins. Take them."
I bought the chicken, but now it becomes a problem how to take it home?
You can't just tie up the chicken and put it directly on the carriage, otherwise it will be very dirty on the way.
Liu Dalong donated one of his peanut sacks to Zhang Juexia to use for the chickens.
"Thank you."
"Don't be polite, the young lady helped me a lot and bought me so many peanuts."
The purchased chickens were packed into sacks and tied to the back of the carriage.
The three of them then prepared to return to the village.
After getting on the carriage, Zhang Juexia saw what Ye Beishan bought for Li Yiqun.
"Your sister-in-law loves the sesame cakes from this shop. I bought them for her when we got married.
Xia'er, let me try one first.
I bought two packs, including one of yours."
Zhang Juexia had been running all morning and felt a little hungry, so he picked up a sesame bun and started eating.
"Brother, this sesame seed bun has a lot of sesame seeds on it, so it tastes delicious. However, we are a small family, so we can't use that much.
We'll just keep four to try. You can take the rest back to the house, since there are more of you."
"You don't have to be polite, our pack contains twenty and yours contains ten.
Ever since you married Bei Xiu, you have been helping us make money.
Your sister-in-law and I are well off this year, so we can still afford ten pancakes."
Zhang Juexia didn't hesitate any longer, "Thank you, big brother."
The weather is getting colder and there are fewer people on the road.
The road was smooth and we soon arrived at the village entrance.
"Brother, we have to slow down once we enter the village."
"It's so cold, who would go out for a walk?"
Before Ye Beishan could finish his words, he saw a figure coming out from the front. He was so frightened that he shuddered and slammed on the brakes. If it weren't for Ye Beishan's care, Zhang Juexia would have hit his head on the carriage.
"Who is it? You don't have eyes when you walk. You don't even give way when you see a carriage!
What if I bump into you?"
Ye Beishan became angry and yelled at the person opposite him.
"Beishan, I'm sorry, I..."
The man was probably frightened, and his voice changed.
Ye Beishan looked at the man carefully and thought for a long time before he remembered who he was.
He looked back at the carriage curtain and shouted, "Aunt Qin, why is it you? How come you have time to go out today?"
Aunt Qin?
Zhang Juexia stuck his head out and saw a middle-aged woman about the same age as Pang Xiujuan, wearing simple clothes and with her hair simply tied up behind her head.
Although this is the first time I see this person, why does he look so familiar?
It seems like I've seen it somewhere before.
