Chapter 99 He is stupid, but I am not stupid
Looking at Lin Jingyao's back, Song Yuntang felt that he was feeling suffocated.
Does she look like something awful? Why does everyone want to take her as a concubine?
He turned his head to look at Yuan Jingui, who was standing aside with his head lowered and a strange look on his face, as if he had heard some strange gossip.
"Manager Yuan, have you settled the bill?"
Yuan Jingui was stunned at first, then looked up at her with a polite expression.
"The young man just now has already paid the bill."
Just kidding, the young man who just left, if I'm not mistaken, should be the eldest son of Mr. Lin's family. Now he has set his eyes on the Miss Song in front of him. If he really takes her back to be a concubine, she will represent the Lin family in the future. A powerless commoner like him dare not offend her.
Song Yuntang said "oh" and took two steps towards the door. Then she turned back unwillingly and picked up the plate of pastries on the table. She also stuffed the pastry that she had taken a small bite of into her mouth and went back to the next shop.
The whole action was done in one go, leaving Yuan Jingui stunned.
Song Yuntang placed the cakes on the counter and puffed his cheeks as he said, "Someone gave them to you. After you finish eating them, take the plate to Shopkeeper Yuan."
Mu Qiu nodded blankly, "Okay."
Seeing that the sun was about to rise above her head, she swallowed the cake with great effort and looked at the two of them and said, "Mudong and Muqiu, will your aunt bring you lunch at noon?"
Mu Dong nodded quickly, "I've already told my mother, she promised to send lunch over at noon, so I won't bother Miss Song anymore in the future."
"Okay." Song Yuntang began to pack his things. "It's getting hotter now and there are fewer people around. You guys stay here and I'll go home first. Remember to close the door of the shop before you go back this afternoon."
"Will we do the same thing tomorrow as today?" Mu Qiu asked hurriedly.
Song Yuntang nodded, "Tomorrow and the next two days will be the same as today. Call two people each day and demonstrate when there are many people. I will go to the town to find a source of medicinal materials tomorrow, so the store affairs will be handed over to you two for the time being."
Judging from the response on the first day of the shop, it can be seen that the business is doing well, but the goods in the shop need to be replenished quickly. The goods ordered from Baicaotang will not arrive until the day after tomorrow. It would be better for me to make a trip to the county town myself. Not only can I get the herbs back tomorrow, but I may also be able to lower the price of the herbs.
Furthermore, she also wanted to go to the wholesale shops in the county town.
By the way, I'll go to the Zhu Mansion and see if I can get some pepper seeds from the county magistrate's wife.
He took out eight taels of silver from the shop's revenue today, put the rest in the cash box as change, and then went home.
When she got home, the two puppies, one black and one yellow, heard the noise and ran towards her happily.
Song Yuntang smiled, squatted down, picked up one in each hand and went into the house.
"I'm going on a long trip tomorrow and may not be home until the evening. You guys have to behave yourself at home, okay?"
She put the puppy on the ground, took out all the silver and money she had hidden at home and counted them. Together with the forty taels given to her by Xu Qingye and the Xu family, the total was forty-nine taels, four hundred and ninety-seven coins.
It’s not much. I can go to the shop tomorrow morning and collect fifty taels. I should be able to negotiate a good price for the shampoo and the ingredients for the three kinds of pills.
…
The next day, Song Jinsheng came to the town early in the morning with three hundred bamboo jars.
When he arrived, Song Yuntang had just finished breakfast.
Hearing the knock on the door, she went forward to open it. When she saw Song Jinsheng, there was surprise in her eyes, "Second brother, you came so early, have you eaten yet?"
Song Jinsheng unloaded the bamboo jar from Grandpa Sun's ox cart.
"Not yet. I'm worried that you don't have enough bamboo jars here, so I'll send you 300 first. The remaining 200 should be available by tomorrow morning."
Song Yuntang hurried forward to help, "Okay, it's just in time for use. Don't stop over there, second brother. Let them continue after these 500 are done."
Li from next door opened the door and saw this scene, and hurried back to the yard.
"Qingyou, go help out next door and show your face in front of Miss Song so that she will remember you."
Tian Qingyou came out of the house yawning.
"Did they say how much the wages were?"
Li hurried forward and pulled him towards the courtyard gate. "It's not much, just lend a hand so that people know who you are."
Hearing this, Tian Qingyou stopped immediately.
"I won't go without pay."
Li let go of her hand and said contemptuously, "How can you be so tactless, kid? I heard from others that Mu Dong never cared about the wages when he first helped others, and only thought of taking him along when others had something to do."
Tian Qingyou snorted, his face showing contempt, "He is stupid, but I am not. Everyone's strength is gained by eating one bite at a time, not by the wind."
After saying that, he went back to his room and continued to sleep.
Seeing her son's behavior, Mrs. Li sighed with worry.
…
Song Jinsheng moved three hundred bamboo jars into the house in two or three trips.
"From what my sister said, business must have been pretty good yesterday, right?"
"Not bad, better than I expected." After Song Yuntang and he put the bamboo pots in the dining room, he poured him a glass of water and urged him to go out. "Let's go buy meat buns for my second brother. I'll go to the store later and then go to the county town."
Song Jinsheng looked at her.
"Are you going alone, or with Xu Qingye?"
Song Yuntang locked the door and said, "Xu Qingye hasn't been here for the past two days, so I'm going alone."
"Is it about moving the household registration?" Song Jinsheng asked again.
"The current yard is rented, and it's not convenient to settle down." Song Yuntang walked towards the town, "I'm just going to look for a source of medicinal materials and do some business there."
Song Jinsheng thought about it and ran quickly to keep pace with her.
"How about I go with you?"
"Um?"
Song Yuntang looked at him, thinking he had heard it wrong.
Song Jinsheng raised his hand and rubbed Song Yuntang's head, laughing brightly, "I said I would go with you, but you are a girl, running so far away, if you are kidnapped, where would I go to find you?"
Song Yuntang glanced in his direction and felt inexplicably warm in his heart.
Although the Song family members had their own thoughts, the second brother was on her side most of the time. Although he was not satisfied with Xu Qingye at the beginning, after a few contacts, he seemed not to be so arrogant.
"Won't the matter with Mazi brother be delayed?"
Song Jinsheng smiled and shook his head. "I told him before I came here that if I come back late, I will help you, and he agreed."
"Okay, when the time comes, second brother will go back and tell brother Mazi to come to town to find me when he is free. I can try to treat the spots on his face."
Things are also going on at a critical juncture over there, and since they have repeatedly helped Song Jinsheng for her sake, she certainly can't take it for granted that they should do the same.
