Wait until the food is out of the pot, and everyone helps to serve it to the table.
When Zhou Xiaohu heard that the two wanted to buy a donkey, he asked, "Hasn't Master Ma been going into town every day recently?"
Zhang Dandan sighed softly, "For the two of us, it would be best to rush into the city when the gate opens and leave when it closes. This way, we can go back every day without interrupting our business."
"It's a personal matter like this, and it's not easy to ask Master Ma to cooperate with us. We have to buy the donkey, and now we just have to wait until we save enough money to buy it."
"How much silver does a donkey cost?" asked Zhang Rushan.
"30 taels."
Zhang Rushan added, "You and Tangyuan can both use it anyway, so why not just split the 15 taels each?"
"That being said..." Zhang Dandan laughed dryly, "It's just that we don't have money."
“No way…”
Zhang Rushan looked at Tangyuan again.
"I'm poorer than him." Tangyuan said.
"Where did your money go?" Zhou Xiaohu couldn't figure it out. Logically, these two people should have saved a lot of money.
Zhang Dandan counted on his fingers, "Delivery payment, daily expenses, and the shop also need some liquid money. After all these things come together, we don't have much money left to spend."
"How much silver do you have now?" Song Yuehua asked.
Zhang Dandan said, "I have 12 taels here, as for the glutinous rice balls..."
"6 taels." Tangyuan said.
Zhou Xiaohu was surprised and said, "You two really are..."
Song Yuehua also kept clicking her tongue.
The total is 18 taels, and there is still a shortfall of 12 taels of silver.
"I'll lend you five taels," Zhou Xiaohu said, "but you have to bring me some fresh vegetables from the village every day."
After hearing what Zhou Xiaohu said, Song Yuehua asked him, "Is there a big difference between freshly picked ones?"
"There won't be much difference after a day. There will always be some picky customers who can taste the difference. It always makes sense to cook better." Zhou Xiaohu said.
Since it was related to the set meal, Song Yuehua said, "Then I'll borrow the money."
"It's okay," Zhou Xiaohu waved his hand and said, "It's just a loan, it's not like I won't pay it back, it's all the same."
Even if Zhou Xiaohu lent them 5 taels, there would still be a shortfall of 7 taels of silver.
Song Yuehua was about to make up the difference when Zhang Rushan said, "I'll lend you the remaining seven taels of silver. Just help me deliver a letter to the school every day."
"I'm so embarrassed..." Tangyuan looked at Zhang Dandan with a smile.
Song Yuehua said, "There is another bicycle frame in the compound, you can use it."
Zhang Dandan stood up and bowed, "Thank you very much."
After talking about buying a donkey cart, Song Yuehua said, "You don't plan to transport people, do you?"
There are donkey carts and ox carts in the village. If one of them breaks down, it will be bad for business.
Zhang Dandan and Tangyuan bought the donkey cart thinking of going home every day to spend time with their family. They had no intention of doing the cart driving business.
"Now that they have come to my door, it would be bad if I didn't take a ride. A trip with an ox cart costs two cents, and a trip with a donkey cart costs five cents. It won't ruin Mr. Ma's business," said Zhang Dandan.
Song Yuehua nodded and said that this was fine.
"It's still not safe for the two of you to drive the donkey cart. How about finding two people to accompany you?"
Song Yuehua picked up a piece of braised tofu and asked.
Zhang Dandan asked with a smile, "What candidate does Sister Song have?"
"The Feng family's father and daughter." Song Yuehua said.
Zhang Dandan inquired, "Sister Song, I know Feng Cuihua. She has collected most of Qingqing's bamboo weavings. To be honest, she is my rival."
"Or, let's not be rivals anymore." Song Yuehua said with a smile.
Zhang Dandan thought for a moment and sighed, "Let's talk about this later. After I buy the donkey cart, I'll go talk to them."
After the meal, Zhang Rushan asked Song Yuehua, "Why do you still care about the Feng family's affairs?"
"It's just something that comes to mind."
Song Yuehua told him about the father and daughter, "The Feng family is quite resolute, and Xiao Cui's life has not been easy."
Hearing this, Zhang Rushan sighed in a pretentious manner and said, "If I had known this, I would not have asked for it. Anyway, if Xiaohu and I don't lend you money, you will lend it anyway."
Song Yuehua nodded, "I will definitely lend it to you. Xiaohu won't say anything, but you are really not afraid that no one will help you deliver the love letter."
"What love letter?" Zhang Rushan said, trying to cover up something that only made it more obvious. "The letter is to Master Yi, just discussing some academic matters."
Song Yuehua chuckled.
The next day, Song Yuehua called Pan An over and asked, "Xiao Le can play chess, does your mother know?"
Pan An nodded. "My mother said that if Rushan wants to ask Xiaole to come over to play chess and kill time, she can go."
What does it mean to kill time? Song Yuehua frowned when she heard this.
Song Yuehua pulled Pan An in front of her and said to him, "If Xiaole is good at this, your mother can also do something for her."
"Xiang Chen is a good chess master. Bring people to visit him and ask him to accept Xiao Le as his apprentice. As long as he studies hard, he will be able to make a living in the future."
Pan An thought for a while before saying, "Sister Song, do you mean that Xiaole can be a chess master in a chess hall like Mr. Xiang in the future?"
Song Yuehua couldn't guarantee anything about this kind of thing.
"It's hard to say. If it's suitable, it's not difficult to become a chess master. You and your family should discuss this matter carefully."
"Thank you, Sister Song."
That afternoon, Tang Yuan stopped at the entrance of the chess hall with his load, and came in to drink a cup of tea before speaking to Song Yuehua, "Huo Ming came back today and bought a lot of things in the shop. I heard he wants to hire me."
"Dandan asked me to ask Sister Song if Xiaoyu wants to do wedding dress business."
Song Yuehua thought that Huo Minggui had finally taken action.
Regarding the wedding dress, Song Yuehua asked, "Are wedding dresses something that the bride has to sew herself? Would she buy them from a shop?"
Tang Yuan tilted his head and asked, "Sister Song, can you sew wedding dresses?"
Song Yuehua, "..."
Tang Yuan explained to her, "Most people's craftsmanship is not good. Just leave two stitches at the end for the woman to make two stitches to show her intention. As long as the wedding dress is well made, it will definitely sell well."
What Zhang Dandan can think of must make sense.
"Okay, I'll write a letter to Wenzhou and help you get in touch," said Song Yuehua.
Tang Yuan smiled and took out a letter from his arms, "Sister Song, please write a letter as an introduction and take this letter with you. This is from Zhang Dandan to Shopkeeper Xiaoqing."
The two of them could be considered to have had some dealings, and if Song Yuehua could have been there to talk between them, the business would have certainly been easier.
"Give it to me. I'll finish writing it later and send it to the post station together." Song Yuehua took the letter.
Tang Yuan took out a large box of cakes from the shopping cart and said, "This is a new product from Baihua Street. Sister Song, please try it."
“Isn’t this cheap?”
Song Yuehua looked at the beautiful wooden box and thought it was not cheap. "Why bother with this?"
Tang Yuan put the pastry box on the table next to him. "We made the box ourselves. It didn't cost us anything. The pastry shop owner did business with us and gave us a low price."
"Okay, then I'll accept it." Song Yuehua said with a smile.
