Chapter 145 She can't stand this anger!
(Thanks to LiLi who loves chocolate for voting with one monthly ticket.)
After Li Shiyue had discussed the matter of buying land, building houses, and investing in a paper-making workshop with everyone, she went to Li Youfu's house the next day.
But when she arrived at the door, by sheer coincidence, she ran into Li Shiyang, who was returning home.
"Brother Shiyang?"
Li Shiyang dismounted, responded, called out "October," and asked her, "Have you also heard about the trade news?"
After a moment of surprise, Li Shiyue realized that Li Shiyang worked under Mr. Chen, so he would naturally know about the trade market first.
Even though Li Wangren's death created a rift between him and Li Youfu, Li Shiyang was still a member of Li Family Village and the next clan leader.
So, if he knew the news in advance, wouldn't it be right for him to go back to the village and tell his clansmen so that they could take advantage of the situation?
Seeing Li Shiyue nod, Li Shiyang tied up the horse, turned around and said to her, "We've made it. Come on, let's go inside and talk."
Li Shiyue stopped in her tracks. After standing still, she bowed to Li Shiyang and raised her head, saying, "Brother Shiyang, since you are going to inform Grandpa Fu, then I will not go in."
That's all I wanted to say about this, but I have things to take care of at home, so I'll head back now.
After saying this, Li Shiyue turned and left without waiting for Li Shiyang to speak.
Li Shiyang's expression was somewhat gloomy as he watched Li Shiyue's retreating figure.
However, the excuse Li Shiyue gave Li Shiyang was genuine; she really had something to do.
Isn't it almost Chinese New Year?
Although she and Li Qiutian had already bought quite a few things in Sanshan County when they went there last time to deliver New Year's gifts to Liu Tan and Yan Jiuniang.
However, when the Lunar New Year arrives, it seems like the family is missing something.
Also, yesterday when I talked to Li Wangshui and the others, everyone wanted to take advantage of the end of the year to go out and buy some necessities, such as rice, flour, oil, cloth, bedding, needles and thread, pots and pans, etc.
Besides, wouldn't we still have to go to Sanshan County to find a household to buy land?
Therefore, Li Shiyue really had something to do, and it wasn't just an excuse for Li Shiyang to avoid going inside to see Li Youfu.
Of course, Li Shiyue also genuinely didn't want to see the old man Li Youfu.
She didn't want to put in the effort only to be treated unfairly because of her status as a woman!
No way!
She can't stand this!
In the past, there was no way to resist, but now, Li Shiyue is not afraid of him!
When she returned to the Li family home, the cart was already prepared, and Li Qiutian, Li Xiatian, and Shitou were all dressed and waiting for her.
At the intersection, Li Wangshui and Zhou Lanhua were driving their car, and Gou Laosan and the others were also waiting with their hands in their sleeves and their feet stamping.
Li Shiyue drove the horse-drawn carriage in front, and Li Wangshui followed behind with the mules. The group set off on the road, heading towards Qingsong Town against the wind.
However, before going to Qingsong Town to make purchases, they followed Liu Laozhang's advice and inquired their way to Sunjia Kiln.
Old Liu said that the Sun family kiln started out making bricks, and the whole village does this kind of work. If you need to buy any tools, just go there; the prices are cheap and the quality is good.
Next spring, Li Shiyue plans to lead everyone to build houses on this stretch of land. They can then rent them out or open shops, and make money sitting right at their doorsteps!
So, they mainly came to order bricks.
Because of its family business of firing bricks, Sunjiayao Village looks impressive at the entrance of the village; you can spot it at a glance as you drive here.
However, there were hardly any people at the village entrance on this cold winter morning.
She got out of the car and knocked on the door of the first house at the entrance of the village. She told the old man with the white beard what she needed, but the old man was somewhat skeptical.
Indeed, who sends a ten-year-old girl to discuss business?
However, Li Shiyue was not unprepared. She took off her leather gloves and pulled out a gold ingot from her inner breast pocket.
The old man's attitude changed immediately upon seeing the gold.
That's true, who would turn down gold?
Not only did he smile broadly at Li Shiyue, but he also invited Li Shiyue and the others inside.
After sitting down, they were even given a cup of hot water. Li Shiyue got straight to the point: "Old man, we are new residents of Liujiatun in the west of Qingsong Town. We are planning to build a new house next spring, so we came to order bricks in advance."
"Little Chestnut from Liujiatun, her grandfather told us that the bricks from our Sunjia Kiln are like this," Li Shiyue gave the old man a thumbs up. The old man was a little confused, but he could tell that she meant that she was praising the bricks in their village.
"So, we're here before the New Year to ask when we'll open the kiln next year and how much a kiln of bricks will cost."
If we order more, it might be cheaper?
Can you include delivery with your brick shipment?
If delivery isn't included, how much extra will it cost?
Looking at Li Shiyue, who spoke so decisively and without any hesitation, and immediately made her demands, and then looking at the men standing behind her who hadn't said a word, Sun Daqiang realized that this young woman, Li Shiyue, was truly the one who could make the decisions!
They spent about half an hour at Sun Daqiang's house, talking and talking, and finally the two of them ordered the first ten kilns of bricks from Sun Family Kiln for the spring at a price that was acceptable to both of them.
At that moment, Li Shiyue wrote a document, signed it with Sun Daqiang, pressed his fingerprint on it, and paid a deposit. The gold ingot that he had given to Sun Daqiang to show his strength was left as a deposit for Sun Daqiang.
Li Shiyue came and went quickly, just like a gust of wind, and even bought three water tanks from Sun Daqiang's yard.
Watching Li Shiyue and the others drive off the road and disappear from sight, Sun Daqiang was still somewhat incredulous: "They just sat at home and business came knocking?"
When he got home, he took out the gold ingot from his chest, looked around to make sure no one was in the house, and then took a bite out of it, leaving a clear tooth mark on the gold ingot.
He then realized what was happening and chuckled as he called out to his wife outside, "Mother, hurry up and call the eldest and second sons back! This is going to be a big deal!"
Upon arriving in Qingsong Town, Zhou Lanhua, Yangzai, and her cousin stayed behind, while the rest of the people followed Li Shiyue onto the carriage and headed towards Sanshan County.
By the time they arrived in Sanshan County, it was already late afternoon. They found themselves at the same noodle shop, and Li Shiyue and his men filled the small place to the brim.
"Oh my, my wife's here? Still three bowls each?"
Li Shiyue took off her fur hat and said with a smile to the landlady, "The three of us sisters each have three bowls. You can give each of them two bowls first. If anyone can still eat, then give them more! It's on me! All you can eat!"
Li Wangshui and the others immediately felt a little embarrassed. "October, why would you need to pay for it?"
"That's right, that's right, we've got money! Don't spend too much in October!"
Li Shiyue wasn't a stingy person; it was just a few bowls of noodle soup, a small amount of money.
Spending a little money can make everyone feel indebted to her and show her generosity as the leader. What a worthwhile thing!
She took out a piece of silver and placed it on the table, saying to the landlady, "Take care of the place up here!"
In the end, only Li Wangshui could eat three large bowls of noodle soup; the others could only eat two bowls.
Dog Lao San, on the other hand, forced himself to eat only one and a half bowls, and the remaining half bowl was shared by Ma Zi and Wei Zi.
