Chapter 65 General Song Muci
Jiang Tangtang didn't dare to delay any longer and immediately stood up to say goodbye to Chu Mingyu. Chu Mingyu's face had changed from the previous gloomy expression to a look of fighting spirit.
Although there were still many things he wanted to discuss with Jiang Tangtang, he knew she had other things to attend to, so he didn't try to persuade her to stay. He simply said, "Then go ahead and do your work. I also need to arrange for staffing. It's just that I'm working on the shop renovation drawings..."
Jiang Tangtang said, "I'll go to the shop and take a look. I'll draw it when I get home today."
She is a designer, so drawing the blueprints is not a difficult task for her. Moreover, Jiuxia Silver House is just a simple renovation, so the drawings are not complicated.
Although she is not majoring in interior design, it is not difficult for her.
The trouble is that she is now an exiled criminal and cannot move freely. She has to say hello to Manager Xia every time she leaves the farm.
Although Manager Xia is easy to talk to, they have just settled down in the village and it is not convenient for them to go to the county town every day.
Fortunately, Chu Mingyu took the initiative and said, "Okay, I'll go to Zhounanzhuang to get the paper from you tomorrow."
After the two of them agreed, Jiang Tangtang first took a ruler to Jiuxia Silver Shop to measure it, then said goodbye to Chu Mingyu and went to the horse shop where the donkey cart was stored.
Today, I came out mainly for money and to buy rice and utensils for the family. Although I have negotiated a deal with Chu Mingyu, the income from this business is not available for the time being.
There is no rush about rice.
When she was planning to open the farm stay, she bought a lot of grains, oils, noodles, meat, etc. and stored them in the warehouse.
Although she had used some during her exile, the total consumption was less than one-third of her stock.
The key is money.
Since she didn't want to go to the pawnshop, she had to find a solution elsewhere.
She thought to herself as she drove the donkey cart to a secluded corner. She went into the carriage and took out the clothes and wig that had been prepared earlier. She changed her clothes, put on makeup, and put on a wig. In an instant, she turned from a bright and beautiful girl into an old lady with dark skin and gray hair.
After getting dressed, he took out all the tangerines and peaches he had picked last night, put them in the carriage, and drove to the best restaurant in the county.
When the owner of Zuixianlou heard that an old woman had brought fresh peaches and oranges, he was so surprised that he came out to greet her in person.
At this time of year, it's not strange to have oranges, but it's very strange to have peaches.
How could there be peaches at this time of year?
"Auntie, do you really have fresh peaches?"
Jiang Tangtang casually took a peach from the basket and two tangerines and handed them over, saying in a low voice, "Boss, try them. These peaches and tangerines are really sweet."
The shopkeeper's eyes widened as he looked at the bright yellow orange in his hand. When he peeled the skin and took a bite of the orange flesh, he was even more astonished.
The local oranges are all green oranges. Although they have thin skin and are juicy, they are far inferior to tangerines.
He had never tasted such sweet oranges.
And the peach in his hand was bigger than his fist, and white with a hint of red. He could smell a rich fruity fragrance from afar. He had never seen peaches of such good quality.
He didn't bother to wash it, so he just wiped it on his clothes a few times and started eating it. He originally wanted to taste it, but the peach was so delicious that he almost couldn't stop eating it.
"How many oranges and peaches do you have? I want them all."
Jiang Tangtang pulled back the curtain of the shed, revealing the fruits inside. "There are five baskets of oranges, but fewer peaches, only two."
In fact, there are still quite a few peaches in the space.
Peaches and tangerines were not originally in the same season, but since she traveled through time, the orchard has changed. The fruits in it seem to bloom and bear fruit regardless of the season. Now the fruit trees in the orchard are full of fruits.
But she couldn't take out too much at once for fear of arousing suspicion.
Even so, a lot of risks were taken.
The shopkeeper asked, "Auntie, how are you going to sell these peaches and oranges?"
Jiang Tangtang said, "I don't want a high price. These oranges are ten taels of silver per basket. If you buy five baskets, you can give me fifty taels of silver. These peaches are twenty-five taels of silver per basket. If you buy two baskets, you can give me fifty taels of silver. A total of one hundred taels of silver will be enough."
Although the shopkeeper was amazed by the taste of the fruit, he was also stunned by Jiang Tangtang's huge appetite.
The shopkeeper said angrily, "You old woman, you must have lost your mind. No matter how delicious your fruit is, it's just fruit. Do you think it's gold? Who would be crazy enough to spend a hundred taels of silver to buy a few baskets of your fruit? If you really want to sell it, just tell me a fair price..."
“I’ll buy it!”
As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, a clear voice sounded from the side.
Jiang Tangtang turned around and saw a handsome man standing there in a disorganized manner, and no one knew when he had arrived.
Jiang Tangtang didn't care when he arrived. She lowered her voice and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "This young master has good taste! Do you want to take these fruits away now, or should I deliver them to you?"
The shopkeeper was originally very angry that someone was ruining his business, but after seeing who was coming, all his arrogance disappeared. He nodded and said, "Mr. Song, what brings you here?"
Song Muci didn't even look at him. He took off his purse and threw it to Jiang Tangtang, saying, "Send it to the Song Mansion."
Jiang Tangtang didn't understand and asked, "I'm from the mountains and just arrived in the county town today. I don't know where the Song Mansion is."
"Fuer, lead the way for her."
Song Muci raised his voice, and a round-faced servant came over and said to Jiang Tangtang, "Follow me!"
On the way, Jiang Tangtang asked the servant subtly, "I think the shopkeeper is quite afraid of your young master. Is your young master very powerful?"
"Of course!" the round-faced servant said proudly, "My master is the general!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Jiang Tangtang and said, "You're lucky today. The old lady in the mansion has been feeling unwell these past few days and has no appetite. She wanted to eat some fresh fruit, and my son, always a filial son, bought them all as soon as he saw them! Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to sell these fruits for such a high price."
Jiang Tangtang nodded in agreement, but she disagreed in her heart.
She would have said that it was her son's good fortune. The fruit in her orchard was extraordinary. It was a magical fruit with miraculous beautifying and nourishing properties. For just a hundred taels of silver, he had made a killing.
It was only after the people in the Song Mansion ate her fruit that they realized how good it was.
In order to avoid getting herself into trouble, Jiang Tangtang quickly found a deserted place to change clothes after coming out of the Song Mansion, bought a new donkey cart, bought some important things, and hurried to the village.
After leaving the city gate, she remembered that she had forgotten to call a doctor. Jiang Tangtang slapped her head and was about to turn back to the clinic to ask for a doctor, but she saw a familiar old man running towards her.
"Doctor Xue, why are you here?" Jiang Tangtang asked, "Have you collected all the herbs you requested?"
Xue Banxian didn't answer her question. Instead, he said, "Girl, is there anything to eat? Come on, give me something to eat. I'm starving."
Jiang Tangtang noticed that his clothes were even more torn and frowned, "What happened to you? Did you get robbed again?"
As she spoke, she took out the uneaten dry food and handed it over.
