Chapter 70 Gambling House
Jiang Mixia shook her head helplessly and smiled.
Several cars braved the cold all the way to the county town, and when they arrived at Zheng's Grocery Store, they asked Manager Sun to inspect the goods.
The quantity is exactly the same as on the order, and the quality is satisfactory to Manager Sun.
How should I put it about groceries? Logically speaking, they are common items and are not expensive, but you get what you pay for, so it is inevitable that these things are not very fine.
But the things made in Jiang Mixia's workshop have absolutely no burrs on the bamboo strips, and the edges are rounded without any corners. They are pleasing to the eyes and safe to use.
This grocery store was originally just an excuse given by the Zheng family as a way for them to visit Zheng frequently. The entire Zheng family, including Zheng Yuanhe, did not care much about this store.
He doesn't ask for making money every year, and as long as he can lose less, it means he is doing a good job as the manager.
To the extent that sometimes he, the head shopkeeper, felt that what he was doing was really boring.
After all, without pressure, there is no motivation. I feel a lack of interest in doing anything. I even feel that all my talents are in vain, and I feel quite depressed and frustrated.
But now, Zheng Yuanhe suddenly said that he had found a source of supplies for the grocery store.
This immediately cheered up Manager Sun. He felt that the Zheng family had begun to attach importance to his shop, and that he could finally have a place to use his talents and make a name for himself.
Especially since the products made by the Jiang family workshop are really worth the price, this makes Shopkeeper Sun even more excited.
It's time to do something big!
Shopkeeper Sun suppressed his excitement. After checking the goods, he looked at the items that were not on the order and said, "Madam Jiang, this is..."
"This is the main vase my husband made. It looks quite delicate. He made a set of large, medium and small sizes. I thought of putting it in our grocery store and putting some dried flowers in it as a decoration."
Jiang Mixia said, "This can be regarded as a display of the craftsmanship of our Jiang Family Workshop. In addition, this can be regarded as a small token of our Jiang Family Workshop's appreciation to Zheng's Grocery."
The most important thing is that this also shows the capabilities of their Jiangji workshop to Zhengji.
We are not just a company that can make basic groceries, but we can also make further innovations in daily necessities. We are a partner that we can work with for a long time.
"Since Madam Jiang said so, I won't be polite and will accept it on behalf of our boss." Shopkeeper Sun saw the set of bamboo vases and thought they were very nice.
It is not fully woven, but rather hollow. There is nothing special about the craftsmanship, it is just the ordinary weaving method, but the advantage is that the shape is smooth and round, and it looks very comfortable and pleasing to the eye.
In short, the more you look at it, the better it looks.
Seeing that Manager Sun was satisfied with the product, Jiang Mixia also felt that she had made the right gift. She simply settled the payment for the product with Manager Sun and then left Zheng Ji.
After leaving Zhengji, Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun led a few drivers from the same village to find a place to eat.
Normally, when hiring a car, you just need to pay enough money, but it is freezing cold today and everyone has to set out early in the morning, so Jiang Mixia decided to treat them to lunch.
After searching for a while, we finally went to a mutton soup restaurant which looked quite busy and each had a bowl of hot mutton soup.
Mutton offal soup is sold by the bowl, and renewal is free. One bowl per person, accompanied with two baked buns, is enough to fill even the strongest man.
Moreover, this way of eating is also cheap.
This way, she can appear to be a considerate employer without being taken advantage of, which is the best of both worlds.
Jiang Mixia thought this was a good idea. The mutton soup looked white and smelled fragrant. There were quite a few people there, so she thought it must be a place with good quality and low prices. So she simply sat down with Song Jingyun and ordered a bowl each.
The mutton soup restaurant was doing a good and lively business. There was not enough room in the house, and even the long table and benches at the door were full of people.
Jiang Mixia and his group were outside, slurping up mutton soup.
Add some chili when drinking it, it will be hot and I can actually make my back sweat after drinking it in winter.
As winter approaches, the county town becomes bustling with people coming and going on the streets.
The busier one is the shop opposite. There are constant shouting sounds, and a burly man with a leopard head and round eyes is greeting people at the door. He is particularly conspicuous among the row of shops.
"Madam, what are they selling over there? Why is it so lively?" Song Jingyun asked while chewing the biscuit in his mouth.
"That's not a shop, it's a gambling house." Jiang Mixia answered slowly, "It's a place dedicated to gambling."
Song Jingyun had heard about the gambling matter from Jiang Mixia before.
These are all stupid things done by people who dreamed of getting rich quickly and getting rich overnight without working. However, they were schemed against by gambling houses and cheaters, and ended up giving away their hard-earned money and becoming penniless.
It is a stupid thing and should be avoided, but now people are coming in and out and it is quite lively inside.
It seems like there are a lot of stupid people like this.
Song Jingyun smacked his lips.
As the young couple was talking, there was a commotion outside the gambling house.
A young man was pushed out, rolled on the ground, and finally knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly to the strong man who pushed him out, "Give me another chance, let me play a few more games?"
The leader was a sturdy man, seven feet tall and huge in size. He stood there like a wall, very intimidating.
Especially the scar on his left cheek and the tattoo on the exposed half of his forearm, which made him look even more frightening.
When the people around saw this, they all stepped back. Even the people on the street avoided and hurried away.
The sturdy man sneered, "Give you a chance? What can I give you a chance? The money you owe to our gambling house is already this much, and you haven't even paid it back yet. You still want me to give you a chance? Are you dreaming?"
"As for this matter, either you go back home and steal or beg for the silver and pay it back. Then we can talk about it. If not, I will strip you naked and throw you into the street!"
The young man kowtowed like crazy, "I know what Master Qin Wu means, but my parents at home would want to kill me if they saw me. They really asked if my family would give me the money..."
"If you can't get the money out from your family, don't you still have your father-in-law's family? It's not difficult to ask your father-in-law for some money. I heard that although your father-in-law's family is just a farming family, they have some wealth, and they are not the kind of family that favors boys over girls and doesn't care about their daughters' life or death. If you go to ask for money, I guarantee you'll get it." Qin Wu shouted.
"Master Qin Wu may not know that although I have a father-in-law's family, it is not formal yet. My fiancée has not yet married..."
The young man paused and rolled his eyes.
