Chapter 51 There is a Death
The next day after breakfast.
The merchants came to the village chief's house to wait for Xie Shuangbai to respond to what happened yesterday.
Xie Shuangbai wore the flower-blue robe and dark red inner robe he had made that day. He greeted everyone as soon as he entered the room:
"Good morning, everyone! Did you rest well yesterday?"
Everyone hurriedly said, "Thank you, Boss, for your good morning. I slept well thanks to you."
Everyone looked at him and came to the conclusion again: looking at beautiful women more often is good for physical and mental health!
Xie Shuangbai didn't know what they were thinking. He took a sip of tea and said:
"Let me first answer your suggestions from yesterday. In a few days, I will open a tofu workshop in town and name it Youranju. From now on, all your orders will be shipped from this town."
When everyone heard this, they all praised: "Mr. Xie is indeed decisive and capable, and he is young and promising!"
"Master Xie's courage, I can't wait to see it!"
Suddenly a different voice interrupted:
"I heard that Mr. Xie is a scholar?"
Zamon looked at Xie Shuangbai with a playful expression.
Xie Shuangbai's face was as cold as ice, and he said coldly: "Why can't a scholar do business?"
A merchant saw that the atmosphere between the two was not right and said hurriedly:
"No, no, no, I just didn't expect that Mr. Xie was actually a scholar and a businessman like us."
Xie Shuangbai looked at the man:
"From what you said, do you look down on merchants? Without merchants, how could we have food, clothing, shelter and transportation? I respect merchants very much. As the saying goes, there are 360 professions and every profession has its top talent."
A dark-faced, thin, middle-aged merchant praised:
"There are 360 professions, and every profession has its top talent! I think Mr. Xie is the top talent in the tofu industry. I've traveled a lot, and I dare say this tofu is absolutely unique to our Great Yin Dynasty!"
"This gentleman is right. Mr. Xie's generosity is truly incomparable to ours. Just because of Mr. Xie's generosity, there is no reason for us not to cooperate long-term!"
Another merchant also said, "That's right, that's right! No matter when Mr. Xie's workshop is open, I will place an order, no matter how late it is!"
Another person also said: "Then what are we waiting for? I don't know how we can place an order, Mr. Xie?"
Xie Shuangbai thought about the current production capacity and said:
"I suggest friends who live nearby to place small orders first. This will ease my order pressure. Besides, it is convenient for us to ship goods since we are so close. I will set up the workshop as soon as possible and ship as quickly as possible."
"Okay, I'm not far away, I'll order 5,000 kilograms first."
"I'm not far away, I'll also order 5,000 kilograms."
"I'm far away and I'm going to order 20,000 kilograms."
"We are not close to 20,000 pounds!"
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Xie Shuangbai continued:
"Everyone, we will open a location further north in the future. This will make it more convenient for everyone."
Everyone said, "That's great!"
Zamon looked at the dazzling Xie Shuangbai in the crowd, stroked his beard, and waved his hand proudly: "I'll order 100,000 kilograms!"
Everyone gasped in shock at his generosity.
This bearded man is so generous. I have never seen such a man before.
Xie Shuangbai did not become fawning just because he ordered a lot, and continued calmly:
"I'm very grateful for your support of Youranju. However, your order is so large that we need to ship it in multiple batches. The maximum amount you can pick up at one time is 20,000 kilograms."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It would take at least half a month to wait for an order for 100,000 kilograms. Time is money, and no one wants to wait that long.
The Wang brothers have contacted people who want to order tofu, and are currently shipping it from the village. They have made a lot in the past few days.
After placing the order, everyone left their contact information and left.
Only Zamon stayed.
Seeing that he was still not leaving, Wang Yun asked, "Brother Zamon, are you not going back?"
"Didn't Mr. Xie say he was going to town? It just so happens that I'm here to escort you back."
Xie Shuangbai saw that this person had bad intentions: "Thank you for your kindness, we have a car so you don't have to worry about it."
Seeing Xie Shuangbai's refusal, Zamon stood and looked at him for a long time. Finally, he said a few words to Wang Yun and rode away.
Cui looked at Zamon's back and said unhappily, "What does this guy mean? The way he looks at you is not right!"
"It's okay, auntie, don't pay attention to such abnormal people. Have you collected the thorny eggs?" Xie Shuangbai changed the subject.
"Oh, I forgot about it yesterday because I was so busy with so many people. I will definitely take care of it today." Cui patted her chest and promised.
"Okay, sorry to bother you, auntie. Where's my uncle?"
"I don't know what you're busy with. Are you going to town today? It's already noon, and it will be evening by the time you get there."
Xie Shuangbai looked at the sky and said, "Let's go early tomorrow morning. There's no need to rush for a day or two anyway."
Seeing that it was rare for everyone to gather today, Xie Shuangbai said to Li Xiaoshu, "Xiaoshu, you are a hunter, so you must be familiar with the mountains. Take me up the mountain to have a look."
"Master, are you going to the mountain? It's nothing at this point."
"Let's go and have a look. Go to my house and ask Daya and the others to come with you, and bring some more baskets and rags."
Li Xiaoshan said, "Brother, I'll get Dahei here too."
Xie Shuangbai asked curiously, "Dahei? Your hunting dog?"
"Yes, he usually looks after the house when we are not at home."
Xie Shuangbai: "What will you do with it after you go to town?"
Li Xiaoshu: "I haven't thought about it yet. It can go to the mountains to catch prey and won't die."
Xie Shuangbai: "Why don't you let me raise it?"
Li Xiaoshan: "Sure, it won't go hungry if it follows its master!"
Xie Shuangbai had wanted to get a dog for a long time. His house was so big and there were several girls in it, so he was worried. He always forgot about it before, but today he just happened to do it.
Soon they arrived at the foot of the mountain. The back mountain was not far from his home, and it only took 15 minutes to walk there according to modern time.
Li Xiaoshu was leading a big black dog, which looked like a ferocious dog that had tasted blood.
Xie Shuangbai didn't dare to get close, so he asked from a distance, "Is his name Dahei?"
"Yes, Dahei, this is the boss and he will be your master from now on."
Li Xiaoshu pointed at Xie Shuangbai and communicated with Dahei.
It seemed like it really understood. It sniffed around Xie Shuangbai, turned around a few times, and barked at him.
"Boss, pat his head."
Xie Shuangbai did as he was told and touched his round little head.
Dahei was very happy. He licked his hand and smelled it.
Li Xiaoshu let go of it, and it rushed ahead to clear the way.
After a while, it would come back excitedly wagging its tail and barking.
There was nothing left on the mountain in October, and the mushrooms had been picked up by the poor people in the village.
The mountains of Xiaoshi Village are connected to those of Dashi Village, stretching endlessly with no end in sight. The mountains are not high, but there are mountains on top of them, which looks quite dangerous.
There are indeed many thorn eggs on the mountain.
Xie Shuangbai asked everyone to pick the thorn eggs, and although they were confused, they still did it.
Hei Dou and Wang Yun were very agile and climbed up the tree in a flash.
"Be careful, the thorns may prick your hands, be careful not to get pricked."
Xie Shuangbai also gave everyone some rags to wrap their hands and pick the fruits.
Many hands make light work, and soon everyone's backpacks were full.
"Boss, Wang Yun and I are moving some of the items back and pushing a small cart."
Xie Shuangbai said, "Okay, push out all three carts in the yard."
Hei Dou, Xiao Shan and Wang Yun, some of them were carrying thorn eggs on their backs, while others were holding them in their hands, and they went back to get the cart first.
"Brother, why do you want this?" Xie Chunmiao was very confused.
"You'll know when the time comes. This is a good thing."
Sugar-roasted chestnuts are a must-have snack in winter. Winter feels incomplete without them.
Xie Shuangbai didn't want to admit that he was greedy again.
"Brother, what do you see that?" Xie Chunmiao asked, pointing to the distance.
"What?"
Xie Shuangbai didn't see anything.
Xie Chunmiao pointed to the distance: "It's on that tree!"
"It's a sour fruit, very sour, even birds won't eat it."
Li Xiaoshu walked to the tree that Xie Chunmiao mentioned and picked up one for Xie Shuangbai.
Isn't this hawthorn?
"Little tree, pick all the good sour fruits on the tree."
Li Xiaoshu didn’t understand why his boss only wanted what others didn’t want!
The three people who took the cart also came back, and the empty backpacks they were carrying were put to use.
Several people divided the work among the boys to pick the thorn eggs.
Girls picking sour fruits.
Xie Chunmiao ran all over the mountain like crazy, he was so happy.
The few of them quickly gathered three more cars and made another trip.
Dahei also ran over excitedly and barked.
Xie Chunmiao called Dahei's name and followed behind it, chattering.
"Ah——" Xie Chunmiao screamed.
Xie Shuangbai was frightened and ran over quickly.
Xie Chunmiao's face turned pale with fear. He ran to Xie Shuangbai in panic and pointed in the distance: "Brother, there's a dead person!"
