Chapter 339 The reason for helping
Shopkeeper Tong kept saying yes, but his heart was in great pain.
This prodigal son! He really doesn’t know how expensive food and fuel are until he takes charge of the household.
Did he know that even if these grains were sold at 200 coins per pound outside, there would still be people scrambling to buy them?
After paying the money, Li Hezhou signed a six-month seasoning supply contract with Shen Qingqian.
It was not until then that Shopkeeper Tong came to his senses.
God is really watching over us! If the head manager knew what the young master did today, he would probably die with a smile on his face.
"Miss Chen, twenty bottles every month, you won't forget, right?" Li Hezhou asked worriedly before leaving.
This concerns his important matter, so it must be made clear.
Shen Qingqian chuckled, "Don't worry, Mr. Li. We have signed a contract. Unless there is a force majeure situation like not being able to find all the materials, we can definitely guarantee twenty bottles per month."
"That's good," Li Hezhou nodded with a smile, then looked at Shen Xiao and Chen Er, "Brother Shen, Young Master Chen Er, let's say goodbye today."
He will be returning to Beijing in a few days, and he doesn't know whether he will meet these people again.
Shen Qingqian and others said goodbye to Li Hezhou and Manager Tong and left.
After they left, Tong the shopkeeper could no longer hold back and asked Li Hezhou at the door, "Young Master, why are you helping them like this?"
On the surface, it seemed that Li Hezhou sold the food to Shen Qingqian at a low price because of the seasonings in her hands, but after Manager Tong came to his senses, he felt that this reason was not reasonable.
After all, a person who knows how to use favors to get what he wants usually won't do such a loss-making business.
Li Hezhou's expression slightly faded. He looked at the direction where Shen Qingqian and the others disappeared and said calmly, "Don't ask about it if there's nothing to ask. There are some things you'd better not know."
He naturally knew what he was doing. Treating the Shen family like this was actually a way to accumulate merit for that unkind family in the capital.
Everyone knows that the richest family in the Jin Dynasty, the Li family, is dependent on the Li family, the chief justice of the Dali Temple.
Li Hezhi, the only legitimate grandson of the Dali Temple Minister, had previously married the legitimate granddaughter of the current Taifu, the second daughter of the Shen family, Shen Qingman.
But when the Shen family was in trouble, the Li family hurriedly gave Shen Qingman a letter of divorce.
From the perspective of the Dali Temple's family, this matter is naturally nothing, but in the eyes of anyone with a sense of justice, the Dali Temple's family is too inhumane.
Although Li Hezhou spent money like water, he still had basic moral principles. When he learned about this, he felt ashamed for the Dali Temple's family.
Especially Li Hezhi, whose name is only one letter different from his, is said to be a childhood sweetheart of the second daughter of the Shen family. At this time, if he doesn't want to protect the Shen family, he should at least protect his wife.
But Li Hezhi not only divorced Shen Qingman, but also married someone else three months later.
What's even more ridiculous is that Li Hezhi had the nerve to get drunk and talk nonsense in a restaurant, saying that he couldn't let go of his wife.
Li Hezhou only hated that he was of the same generation as him, and that his family currently had to rely on the care of the Dali Temple Minister, otherwise he would have encouraged his father to stay away from such a family long ago.
He didn't recognize Shen Qingqian the last time he saw her, but he remembered her when he saw Shen Xiao this time, so his attitude changed afterwards and he also lowered the price of the old grain to the lowest.
Shen Qingqian and the others had already bought everything they needed and gathered at the city gate.
Eight stone of grain is 800 kilograms. The mule cart can barely carry 200 kilograms, and the rest can only be carried back by Chen Er and his men on their shoulders.
Fortunately, there are many of them, so it is not a problem to share them.
As a result, the job of driving the carriage fell on Shen Qingqian.
"Sixth sister, are you sure it's okay?" Shen Xiao looked up at Shen Qingqian and asked from under the car.
