Chapter 65: Payment
After Feng Yayi and the others left, the customers who had been hiding away came back. However, looking at the empty stalls, they sighed with droopy faces, but did not dare to complain.
They avoided it just now, but did not go far, so they heard the conversation between Qin Huiyin and Ying Hai.
Ying Hai was a man close to the housekeeper of the Ouyang Mansion, responsible for the purchases of the mansion, and many people knew him. The servants of these wealthy families were very picky and were always very picky when they bought things from them. They had never seen him being so friendly. But just now, he spoke politely to the small stall owner, with a smile on his face, and even asked Captain Feng to take care of their stall.
Although they didn't know the origin of this stall owner, since he was connected with the steward of the Ouyang Mansion, he was not someone ordinary people like them dared to offend.
"Dear guests, I am so sorry. We met a big customer today and he booked our stall completely. Only the ingredients are left. But our barbecue and pancakes are also delicious. You can try them."
"Young Boss, how did you get to know Manager Ying? I heard you mention the butler. Are you a relative of the butler?"
"We are not relatives, but we have some connections. Aunt is a regular customer, and we are family. I will not hide it. I am able to get to know the housekeeper of the Ouyang Mansion thanks to my cooking skills!"
"Has the steward of the Ouyang Mansion tasted your cooking?"
"More than that. The owner of Ouyang Mansion and the distinguished guests invited by the owner have tasted my cooking skills, and I have also received rewards from the owner of Ouyang Mansion and that distinguished guest." Qin Huiyin said, "That distinguished guest came from the capital and tasted all kinds of delicacies. I was able to gain his recognition because of this ingenuity. I'm sorry to make you laugh."
"That's amazing! Even the nobles in the capital like to eat the cakes made by the boss. We have to try them..."
Li Taohua helped Tang Luwu make pancakes, while Qin Huiyin grilled skewers by herself.
Tang Yixiao spent a few cents to buy some vegetarian dishes at the stall next to him, then went to a house not far away to wash the vegetables, skewered them, brought them back and put them into the malatang pot.
Qin Huiyin saw it and gave Tang Yi a thumbs up with a smile: "My little brother's brain is really useful."
Tang Yi smiled and said, "Second sister, I'll go buy some meat from the butcher and ask a few people to help skewer it. I'll bring more skewers over and cook them."
Qin Huiyin and the others were busy with their own things. They seemed not to interfere with each other, but they had a tacit understanding. After the next two hours, they finally sent away the last guest.
"I'm so tired. I can't take it anymore. My body can't take it anymore." Li Taohua sat down and pounded her shoulders.
Tang Luwu came over, stood behind Li Taohua, and pressed her shoulders.
Li Taohua closed her eyes and enjoyed it: "It was a good massage."
"Mom, you rest here for a while, I'll go to the grocery store to take a look." Qin Huiyin said.
"Okay, go early and come back early."
"I'll go with you." Tang Yi smiled and carried the backpack.
Qin Huiyin took it from him and said, "I see they sell iced drinks over there, go buy some for everyone to try."
"You can't eat that." Li Taohua opened her eyes. "It's too expensive. Only rich people can afford that."
"We made money today." Qin Huiyin took out a string of copper coins from the box. "We made so much money, we have to reward ourselves. We can't just work like an old ox without enjoying ourselves, right?"
Qin Huiyin arranged for everyone to wait for her while she went to the grocery store to see if there were any new seasonings or anything like that. As far as she knew, there were merchant ships returning from the outer islands, and occasionally there would be unexpected gains.
After Qin Huiyin visited several grocery stores and bought a few bags of seeds, she went to buy some daily necessities. In addition, when she passed by a bookstore, she thought of Tang Yichen and bought him a few books and some paper.
"Boss, I'll leave it here with you first, and I'll come pick it up when I pass by your store later."
"no problem."
Qin Huiyin walked out of the bookstore and saw a nimble figure running past her carrying a man with a bleeding right foot.
There was a pharmacy next to it, and he carried the man into the pharmacy.
Qin Huiyin hesitated for a moment, but decided to follow to see what was going on.
The person who just ran over was none other than Song Ruize, who took the initiative to repair the dam.
Song Ruize was wearing old clothes, his hair was tied up high with a cloth strip, and his cold face gave off an aura that said "keep away from strangers".
He was covered in dust.
The person he was carrying looked similar, except that he looked even smaller and thinner than him.
"You're injured like this and need to be bandaged. Do you have money?" the doctor asked.
Song Ruize said calmly: "Bandage him first, I will bring it to you later."
"You guys are repairing the dam, right? There are so many of you, where can I find you?" the doctor said, "From yesterday to today, more than a dozen people have been delivered, and five of them are on credit, and I still can't find them."
"I will definitely give it to you."
"I'm running a small business. If anyone comes to refuse to pay, I'll just change the name of my clinic to a charity. I don't care. If you don't have money now, I won't treat you. You can go somewhere else."
"How much?" Qin Huiyin asked.
"Who are you?" The doctor looked at Qin Huiyin.
"This is my brother. You tell me how much it costs and I'll pay." Qin Huiyin said.
Song Ruize looked at her with a complicated expression.
The injured boy looked at Song Ruize, then at Qin Huiyin, and said, "Brother Ze, is this your sister?"
Song Ruize didn't say anything.
"If you just want to bandage it, it will cost thirty coins. If you want to buy medicine, this kind of external injury medicine is one hundred coins a bottle."
"Doctor, please bandage him first and prepare a bottle of medicine for him." Qin Huiyin said.
Song Ruize finally spoke up and said, "I left the money at home. I'll give it to you when I get home."
"Then when will you go home?" Qin Huiyin asked curiously.
Song Ruize: "...when the dam is repaired."
“So when will the dam be repaired?”
"……have no idea."
Seeing his frustrated look, Qin Huiyin burst out laughing: "I'm just teasing you. I'm not in a hurry. I'll tell you when I have it."
"You can also do it when you get your wages next month." The boy next to him said, "Hello, Ze Ge's sister. My name is Jiang Qibin, and my bed is next to Ze Ge's."
"Jiang Qibin..." Qin Weiyin muttered.
Sounds somewhat familiar!
By the way, in the original novel, Jiang Qibin was Song Ruize’s loyal lackey. After Song Ruize died, he collected his body. Finally, he rushed into the male protagonist’s house and tried to assassinate him, but was killed by the male protagonist’s assassin’s sword.
It turns out they knew each other so early.
Song Ruize is not close to anyone, but he would come to the doctor without telling Jiang Qibin, and even negotiate with the doctor for him. It turns out that it’s not that the villain is too cold, but that the people he met before are not the villain’s connections.
