Chapter 236 Someone Wants to Buy the Phoenix

The men didn't make things difficult for him.

Feng Biao took out a piece of silver and threw it to him.

"No need to look for it, hurry up, I'm exhausted after traveling all night."

After saying this, he wiped his face with his palm.

This way the sweat didn't get into my eyes.

Jiang Lingu took the silver coins with surprise and put them in the drawer of the cabinet. He threw away the sackcloth and went to the backyard.

"Hurry, hurry, get 40 meat skewers, half pork and half mutton, and make four bowls of cold noodles. The guests are asking for more, don't waste time. Also, don't forget to grill the eight vegetarian skewers. I see that some of the guests like to eat meat, so don't serve them any vegetables, just mushroom skewers."

Jiang Lingu sincerely hopes that the Bai family snack shop business will be good.

So I work very seriously.

He also began to observe the guests.

"So many? Tsk tsk, why not just give four? Anyway, these guys are shy, they won't say anything if you give them four. Although mushrooms are cheap, they can't handle the large quantity. Eight skewers, at least half a cent has been given away. No, no, it's too much. If I sell hundreds or thousands of skewers a day, I will suffer a lot."

The meat skewers are grilled in advance, but the vegetarian skewers are not.

Just when Zhou Gaier counted eight mushrooms and was about to put them on the grill, he was grabbed by Wan Zhen.

She snatched away four strings.

He also did not forget to teach the couple.

"You can't do this, ma'am. If you do this, how can we do business in our shop? The master has told me that you must grill four skewers, otherwise I can't explain to the master.

Madam, you will only lose more than you gain by doing this. It is not worth offending such a generous client for a penny. Besides, there are four of them. If they cause trouble, how can we handle it?"

Jiang Lingu wanted to say, what’s more, they also gave a reward.

But he kept the account himself, and when he opened the change without anyone noticing, no one would know that he had kept the reward money for himself.

Then his eyes rolled.

Changed the statement.

Wan Zhen also became angry when he saw that he dared to contradict him.

The two were at a stalemate.

Finally, Jiang Lingu gave in.

What can he do?

If he really offends his wife and starts to influence his master, how can he keep his position as manager?

now.

On the other side, Jiang's Snack Shop hadn't even opened yet when an uninvited guest arrived.

The door to the backyard of the shop stood open.

There were two men standing in the yard.

One was dressed elegantly and was about forty years old; the other was dressed in coarse cloth and followed the middle-aged man in a humble manner.

Like a master and a servant.

"I am the landlord Deng in the town. I was having dinner with a good friend last night and heard him mention that there is a mynah bird in your shop that can imitate a person crying 100% accurately. I wonder if I can see it. Don't worry, if it can imitate 100% accurately, I am willing to buy it for 150 taels."

Deng Jinian stroked his long beard.

He raised his head and said.

His eyes were darting around the whole time, and he didn't even follow the courtesy of looking people in the eye when talking.

It was as if he had done a great favor to the Jiang family.

"It's not convenient to meet you, and I won't sell it, Landlord Deng. We still have to do business, so we really don't have time to entertain you. Please go ahead."

How could someone come to my house so early in the morning?

He doesn't know any rules at all.

As soon as I came in, I said I wanted to see birds.

I didn't know why I thought he was some high-ranking official. He is just a landlord, yet he is so arrogant.

Zhang Jinlan retorted angrily.

Besides, Phoenix is ​​her granddaughter's playmate. What right does she have to sell it?

It’s only one hundred and fifty taels. I can earn that from my own shop in half a month at most.

She won't sell it.

"What? You won't sell it? This is one hundred and fifty taels! How long will it take for your small shop to make back the money by selling mung bean soup and cracked cakes? Could it be that you don't have any mynah birds in your shop at all, and they are all fake? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I made this trip for nothing!"

Deng Jinian became angry.

He lowered his hand from stroking his beard.

Carry it behind your back.

Staring at Zhang Jinlan angrily.

Jiang Fubao, who was standing by, suddenly had an idea.

The name of this landlord Deng sounds very familiar, and you can tell at a glance that he is not a good person.

I heard someone say in the shop earlier that a certain landlord named Deng had killed many tenant farmers and that he was the landlord who collected the highest rent in the town and was extremely evil.

That's why he is so rich.

Since he has come to my door, I might as well kill him.

The money used to buy this shop was exactly what I had saved.

If you sell the Phoenix.

Isn't it possible to earn back the money spent on buying the shop immediately?

She had heard about the price.

One hundred and fifty taels is definitely too low. She would not sell it for at least three hundred taels.

She just slipped under the tree and waved to Phoenix while grandma was arguing with them.

Jiang Fubao whispered a few words to Feng Huang, then walked over with Feng Huang.

"Uncle, don't be angry. Phoenix is ​​mine. Grandma is reluctant to sell it because she is afraid that I will be sad. But since you want to see Phoenix so much, I will let you see it. Phoenix, say hello to Landlord Deng."

Jiang Fubao tilted her head slightly and spoke to the Phoenix standing on her shoulder.

"How is Landlord Deng? Congratulations on your prosperity, longevity, and all the best..."

The phoenix muttered a bunch of auspicious words.

Deng Jinian, who was angry at the time, was so happy that his eyes widened.

"Hey, this mynah bird actually said it so clearly, it's top quality, it's top quality!! So, I'll add another ten taels, one hundred and sixty taels, and buy it, how about that?"

Deng Jinian is determined to capture this starling today.

"No, uncle, don't lie to us. Someone came to us last night and said he wanted to buy the bird for three hundred taels. I'm still considering it. The phoenix is ​​my good friend, and I can't bear to sell it."

Jiang Fubao shook his head.

Took two steps back.

Deng Jinian was extremely anxious.

"How about I offer two hundred taels? It's just a bird, how can it be sold for three hundred taels? Even if it's made of gold, it can't be sold for this price. You little girl, how old are you, but you are so cunning, don't deceive me."

Deng Jinian clearly knew the value of the starling.

But still pretending to be stupid.

"That's all, grandma. I'll take my starling to play inside."

Jiang Fubao turned around without hesitation and went into the house.

That's good.

Deng Jinian was very anxious.

He looked at Jiang Fubao's back, eagerly waiting.

"Three hundred is three hundred, I'll buy it!"

Just as Zhang Jinlan was about to see the guest off, Deng Jinian gritted his teeth.

He immediately took out three banknotes.

Exactly one hundred taels.

But Sun Pingmei saw the bulging money bag around his waist, so she shouted loudly.

"No, three hundred taels is too little. Maybe the guy from last night will come back to us today. If he asks for more money, we will lose money."

Zhang Jinlan didn't know what her granddaughter was thinking.

Thought she really wanted to sell the phoenix.

I followed my daughter-in-law and sang the same tune.

"Yes, we won't sell it. If we wait a little longer, we will definitely get a higher price. Our starlings are rare in a hundred years. They speak as clearly as if someone is standing in front of them. If we take this precious bird to another place, we might be able to sell it for five hundred taels. We can't sell it for a mere three hundred taels."
