Chapter 1304 Da Niu's Guess
Da Niu knew how well Shu Yu treated Lao Yang. Looking at Lao Yang's admiring eyes and radiant spirit, he couldn't help but admire Shu Yu's abilities.
He had met many shopkeepers and managers, some of whom were quite nice, but he had never seen anyone value the doorman so much.
The gatekeepers of many workshops are not just for show; they may even be the source of trouble.
Ayu understood this very well, which is why she was exceptionally cautious in choosing a doorman.
"By the way, Steward, that young master doesn't look like he's from around here, nor does he seem to be from the prefectural city. They seem much wealthier than anyone I've seen before."
When Old Yang spoke up, Da Niu paused, looked up at the carriage that had completely disappeared, and frowned.
Old Yang asked, "Head Steward, is there a problem?"
Da Niu pondered for a moment and calculated the time again. Although he felt it was unlikely, he still became anxious.
He asked Old Yang for details about the two men, and Old Yang described their clothing, manner of speaking, and the appearance of the carriage.
The time was too short, and he couldn't keep staring at people the whole time; he only got a general impression.
Da Niu understood. "Old Yang, you keep an eye on the workshop. If Manager Luo and Manager Ruan ask, just say I went back to the county town to find the owner. If it's not urgent, we can talk about it when I get back tomorrow."
"good."
Da Niu left, and Lao Yang winked behind him, "Goodness, could something really have happened?"
Who are those two people? Where did they come from?
Ren Huai, who was being thought about by Lao Yang, sat in the carriage with a furrowed brow. The smile that had been on his face when facing Lao Yang vanished after he turned away.
After boarding the carriage, the man next to him asked, "Young Master, are we leaving without asking any questions?"
Ren Huai chuckled, "What else is there to ask? That old man is clearly wary of us; we won't get anything out of him."
"Shall we go find Lu Xiangjun now?"
Ren Huai shook his head. "Manager Xu, you're too impatient. We won't find out much from the workshop, but there's always news about Lord Lu in the county town. We need to find out more first so we'll have more leverage and initiative when we're negotiating business."
Manager Xu didn't say anything more. For this trip, the master instructed him to follow the young master's orders.
After arriving in the county town, the two found an inn to stay temporarily, intending to find out more before meeting Shu Yu.
However, what they didn't know was that Da Niu and the county town they arrived at were almost the same time.
As soon as he entered the city, he went straight to find Shu Yu.
Shu Yu is currently taking inventory of the goods in the shop. After the New Year, there will be fewer people buying melon seeds.
That's normal. Her family only has sunflower seeds, and they're not cheap. Ordinary people don't have the spare money to eat them.
Shu Yu has no intention of lowering the price, at least not right now. The people from Beijing are arriving soon, and she can't negotiate if the price is too low.
Da Niu arrived at this time. He found Shu Yu and told her his guess.
"You said it would take about half a month for them to arrive, but it's been more than ten days now. I find their arrival strange. Are they from the capital? Are they buying melon seeds or sunflower oil?"
Shu Yu was surprised. "Sunflower oil is procured by the palace. They wouldn't come here in just two carriages. I guess they're from that candied fruit shop in the capital, here to buy melon seeds."
"So, why did they go to the workshop so quietly to ask Old Yang about this? Did they have some other intention?"
