Chapter 275 Everyone is here
After Xu Zhichun and his companions returned to the village, Liang Xiaoman happily went to their house and told them that his master had come to Qingshan County. "Aunt Zhichun, please see when it is convenient for you to meet my master. He is currently staying at a friend's house in the county town."
Xu Zhichun was really short of people, so he smiled and said, "How about tomorrow? Let's go into the city to see your master tomorrow."
"Yeah, okay!"
So the next day, when he went to the city to buy things, he took Liang Xiaoman with him.
Liang Mingliang and the others went to the shop, Xu Zhichun went to the teahouse and asked Liang Xiaoman to invite his master to meet him in the teahouse.
Liang Xiaoman ran over and quickly brought his master Zhong Changkuan.
Zhong Changkuan was less than fifty years old. He was tall and slightly thin, with a handsome face and deep eyes. He wore a half-worn lake-green robe neatly. He smiled at everyone he met and had a gentle and approachable demeanor.
There was no contempt, ridicule, or deliberate discrimination against Xu Zhichun just because she was a young woman.
When he bowed and greeted with a smile, "Ms. Xu!", in his eyes Xu Zhichun was no different from any other boss he met during interviews.
Xu Zhichun immediately took a liking to him.
When Magistrate Lu, Master Qin and others saw her for the first time, they all subconsciously showed some surprise, not to mention the group from the Zeng family.
After a conversation, both parties were very satisfied.
Both parties were basically aware of each other's conditions and requirements, and this meeting was just a formality to elaborate on a few things. One party had nothing else to do anyway, and the other party was anxious to recruit someone as soon as possible, so they hit it off and signed the contract on the spot.
It went so smoothly that Liang Xiaoman felt a little dizzy: Is this the end?
It was completely different from what he had imagined, with both parties relying on him to liven up the atmosphere, maneuver between them, and speak well of each other and promote their products.
Liang Xiaoman, feeling dizzy, followed him to the store.
Zhong Changkuan had been here before - he only needed to ask around to find out, after all, this was the only shop that sold konjac tofu and konjac noodles.
But he didn't go in to take a closer look.
Liang Mingliang, Aunt Zhu'er, and Xiaoyan were all there, and they were very happy to see that the people had been hired.
From then on, they no longer had to come to the city every day. They just had to prepare the food at home and Liang Mingliang would drive it to them every morning.
The backyard here is spacious and clean, enough for Zhong to live in.
Zhong Changkuan is good at business and accounting. He weighs the items at home every day and weighs them again after they are delivered. Both ends keep separate accounts, and whoever handles the handover signs. If they do one pair every month, there will be no mistakes.
The temporary payment is two taels of silver per month.
Zhong Changkuan was very satisfied and secretly sighed at his boss's generosity. You know, he used to be a middle-level accountant at the dock, earning two taels of silver a month, but now his work is much less than before.
He has to take this seriously, otherwise he won't be able to live with himself.
He also realized that Madam Xu had just started her business and it was hard to say how far she would go in the future.
Maybe, as one of the first great contributors, he could even become a big boss in the future? He would have to perform well.
He is only in his early forties, still young!
It's the time to work hard for your career.
Zhong Changkuan was in high spirits.
Liang Xiaoman was very excited to see that his master had settled down here. On the way back, he said that he was also going to Loujia Village.
"I've recovered. The doctor said I'm young and my bones are growing fast, so I'm fine now. I want to go to Loujia Village as soon as possible to get familiar with it. There's a lot of farm work to do in winter, so I have to be prepared."
Liang Mingliang was a little worried. "That Lou Da and Lou Er family must hate us to death. What if they bully you?"
Liang Xiaoman curled his lips in disdain. "They can bully me whenever they want? There are so many farmhands here. I'm not afraid of them. Besides, Lou Lizheng has asked for so many sweet potatoes and potatoes from Aunt Zhichun. If he lets those scoundrels in the village bully others, he would be worse than pigs and dogs and ungrateful. How can he have the face to be the head of the village?"
Everyone who said that laughed.
Liang Mingliang sighed and had nothing to say.
His nephew understood things more clearly than he did. What should he do? Just lie down.
Zeng Xiaoyan said, "Lou Er's family are all bullies who only care about the strong and bully the weak. If you go to Loujia Village and live in the farm, you won't be afraid of them. But don't go out at night, and if you go out, be sure to bring someone with you - no, even if you go out during the day, bring someone with you, and don't go to remote places where there are no people. Others won't say anything, but that Lou Er is especially insidious. He hates our family so much now, there's no doubt he won't keep an eye on you. Well, you don't have to be afraid. You said it yourself, there are so many farmhands here, why should I be afraid of him?"
"Well, I'm not afraid!"
"That's good, that's good. Our Xiaoman is the most capable! If there's anything you don't understand, just ask your Aunt Zhichun. Don't be shy."
"good."
Zeng Xiaoyan finally breathed a sigh of relief. What if she frightened her nephew and made him afraid to go to Loujia Village? Fortunately, her nephew was courageous.
Xu Zhichun said, "Loujia Village is not far from the county town. You can go into the city to visit your master more often and ask him for advice if you have any questions."
Liang Xiaoman was even happier, "Okay, okay."
Xu Zhichun smiled and said, "Tomorrow I'll buy another mule and a mule cart. No, I'll buy two mules and two mule carts. I'll keep one in the village and one in Loujia Village. It will be more convenient for you, Xiaoman, to go out on weekdays. It will also be easier for Brother Liang San to deliver goods every day."
Liang Mingliang slapped his forehead and remembered, and quickly said, "My father said he wanted to buy one. Zhichun, you don't have to buy one. My father also said that buying a mule and a mule cart will make things more convenient. We already have cows, so we can keep one cow, and a mule is no big deal. There are only a few people in your family, so it will be difficult to take care of them on a daily basis. We can afford it now."
Just this time, I made several hundred taels of money from selling sweet potatoes and potatoes. What does buying a mule and a mule cart mean to me?
Zeng Xiaoyan also joined in and said with a smile that it would be more convenient to buy it at home.
Xu Zhichun thought about it and thought so, so he didn't insist. "In that case, let's buy it together and see if we can bargain for a better price."
"That's good."
We can cut a little more.
The next day officially started, with Liang Mingliang alone heading to the city to deliver goods. Liang Xiaoman also rushed to Loujia Village with confidence.
In Liangjia Village, people are everywhere repairing their houses, building new houses, or reclaiming land. The village is full of joy and vitality.
Yang Ming and his son Yang Xiaoan were almost done with reclaiming the land on their own property. After that, they planned to hire people to reclaim the land on Xu Zhichun's property first, and then rebuild their own house.
It’s still quite early before the Chinese New Year, so we can finish it before the New Year.
They no longer had to go into the city every day, and with the help of Nanny Qin Qing and Muxiang, Xu Zhichun and the others felt much more relaxed.
Xu Zhichun finally enjoyed the sweet pastoral life!
