Chapter 219 Creating Opportunities for the Second Brother
Liaowu paused in his eating action.
Seeing that Xu Qingye was only eating noodles and not fried chicken, Miaowu swallowed the food in his mouth with a smile, "You kid, you are still unwilling to suffer a loss as always."
Xu Qingye looked at him.
"Didn't Master Liaowu say that monks should pay attention to cause and effect? Since you are running a business, you must pay money after you eat."
"Okay, I'll pay for your meal." Liao Wu said, turning his head to look at Song Yuntang who was eating noodles at the next table, "Miss, bring me two more pots of aged wine, and I'll pay for them together."
Song Yuntang originally wanted to say that the fried chicken and noodles were a treat for him and were free.
But when she thought about the cause and effect that Xu Qingye had just mentioned, and combined it with what Master Liaowu said when she first met him, she, a person who traveled through time from the modern era, actually became inexplicably superstitious.
He put down his chopsticks and went to the wine cellar in the backyard to get some wine.
The price of the crispy chicken is 45 cents, a bowl of pork bone soup noodles is 6 cents, and two pots of wine are 60 cents in total, which adds up to 111 cents.
The price of aged wine is slightly higher, thirty cents for a small pot. If it is ordinary wine, you can buy a pot for fifteen cents. If you bring your own wine pot, it will be even cheaper, only twelve cents.
After Master Liao Wu had eaten and drunk his fill, he paid the bill and left.
Before leaving, he turned back and said to Xu Qingye, "Donor Xu, your disaster is over. Take good care of your fortune. If what I said comes true in the future, you must treat me to a good meal."
Xu Qingye looked at him and nodded lightly.
"good."
"Hahahaha, wine and meat pass through the intestines, but Buddha remains in the heart." After leaving this sentence, he left without looking back.
…
After dinner, Tao and Chen cleaned up the tables, chairs, dishes and kitchen and continued to prepare ingredients for tomorrow. Song Yuntang had been busy all morning and felt sleepy just after dinner, so he sat down opposite Xu Qingye.
She rested her chin on her hands and looked at him curiously.
"What did Master Liaowu say to you before?"
Xu Qingye just looked at her and said, "Don't trust everything a monk says."
Song Yuntang didn't ask any more questions, "I never believed these things before, and now I don't know whether I should believe them or not."
"It's partially credible, but you have to judge for yourself." Xu Qingye said, picking up the book on the table and starting to read again.
Seeing this, Song Yuntang stopped disturbing him and lay on the table, watching the three figures busy in the kitchen. Unknowingly, he fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was already past noon.
She rubbed her eyes and looked at the sky outside.
"What time is it?"
Xu Qingye glanced in her direction and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
"Shen Shichu."
"I slept for a whole hour!" She looked at the calm man in front of her, "Why didn't you wake me up?"
Xu Qingye put down the book in his hand.
"Seeing you were sleeping soundly, I didn't have the heart to ask them to wake you up." He looked through the window towards the kitchen, "Look, they are getting more and more skilled at their work."
Song Yuntang followed his gaze.
Sure enough, the three of them went in and out of the kitchen and the yard in harmony.
Tao Xia, who was frying noodles, felt her neck a little sore, so she raised her head and twisted her neck. When she saw the man and woman looking at the kitchen from the front hall window, she smiled knowingly and whispered to Chen, "Sister, look at the girl and the son-in-law. They are a perfect match, talented and beautiful."
Chen also looked over here and smiled, "This is called husband and wife look, that's why they can become husband and wife."
…
After finishing his business at the tavern, Song Yuntang went to the shop on Heyang Street.
"Miss Song is here."
Mu Dong had sharp eyes and recognized Song Yuntang sitting in front of the mule cart from a distance.
She jumped off the mule cart and went into the shop.
"How's business in the shop these days?"
“Most of them are old customers. It’s still a little worse than before,” said Mu Dong.
Song Yuntang nodded, "The harvest in the fields was not good this year, and the families in the town will be affected to some extent. It is normal that business is worse than before. We can maintain our old customers, and we will only make a few taels less every month."
Then he said, "There is a batch of goods to be delivered to the county town the day after tomorrow. You and my second brother will go there then."
Mu Dong nodded hurriedly, "Is Jinsheng's injury healed?"
There was no shortage of shampooing water in the shop these two days, so he did not go to the farm and did not know that Song Jinsheng had already arrived at the farm.
Song Yuntang glanced at Mu Qiu who was concentrating on listening to their conversation.
"It's not like he's fully recovered yet, but he won't have any problem doing heavy work, so you'll have to help me keep an eye on him. As for the lifting work, I'll let the servant Wan Qingsi do it himself."
Mu Dong looked solemn.
"Okay, I'll remember that."
Mu Qiu behind the counter heard this and looked at Song Yuntang curiously.
"Sister Song, are you short of help? Why did you ask Brother Jinsheng to deliver the goods when his injury hasn't fully healed yet?"
Song Yuntang sighed and said inconspicuously, "He was originally recuperating at home. My mother was anxious to find him a marriage, but he was not happy about it and came to hide in my farm. You know my second brother, he can't sit still. He thought that if the pain in his body stopped, it would heal. I thought that delivering goods would not take much effort, so he would not work recklessly in the farm and make his injury worse."
Mu Qiu grabbed his sleeves with a heavy heart.
"Sister Song is considering this."
Brother Jinsheng actually started talking about marriage?
On second thought, he is already eighteen years old, isn't that the right age for marriage?
Thinking of this, she felt a little flustered. Even if Brother Jinsheng disagreed, marriage has always been decided by parents and matchmakers. If Aunt Song really took a fancy to a girl and decided on the marriage directly, he would have no choice but to listen to his parents and marry that girl.
When she thought of this, she felt very uncomfortable.
If only she were a year older.
Before, their mother raised them all by herself, and they could not even get enough food. In recent years, now that the eldest brother has grown up, he has been relying on running errands and doing odd jobs to earn some money to supplement the family income, and he has suffered a lot.
Only recently after following Song Yuntang, their family's life has become a little better, at least they don't have to go hungry anymore.
Our family is poor, and my eldest brother is still unmarried at the age of twenty. People in the town all look at conditions, and with our conditions, no girl is interested in him.
My mother said before that she would arrange a marriage for her after she turns 15. By then, after she gets the betrothal gift, she can also find a marriage for my eldest brother.
She didn't think it was a bad thing for her elder brother to marry her elder sister-in-law.
But there were some things that she, as a girl, always found difficult to say.
Looking at her reaction, Song Yuntang curled his lips.
In fact, what I said just now is just one reason. Another reason is that only by letting Song Jinsheng and Mu Dong work together can he have more contact with Mu Qiu.
Mu Qiu is a simple girl with positive values. After staying in Yujun Pavilion for a period of time, she is no longer as weak and easy to control as before. She should be able to live a good life.
Anyway, the opportunity is provided to them.
Now I am interested in you, but you don't even know it.
Whether it can succeed or not depends on God’s will.
