When Lai Fu and Lai Cai heard what Uncle Li said, they quickly agreed.
"Yes, Miss, our life now is much better than before. Although we are servants bought by Miss, Miss has never treated us badly. We are already happy enough."
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
"Then let you be happier. We'll have a holiday in two days!"
"Not only that, each person will be given two taels of silver as welfare."
Uncle Li and the other two were stunned.
Not only are we giving you a holiday, but you're also giving out money as a benefit? Miss, this is too good to be true.
"Miss, this, this..."
Uncle Li was so excited that he couldn't even speak clearly.
Lin Jiuyue waved her hand.
"Everyone, don't refuse. After the grain is taken away, there will be no more grain to sell in the shop for a while. Take this opportunity to have a good rest. This will help you work better next time, right?"
After hearing this, Uncle Li and the other three finally gave in.
Lin Jiuyue had just returned to the village and hadn't even sat down when Xiyue hurried over.
"Miss, there are many people from the village, and they are now at our doorstep."
Lin Jiuyue stood up after hearing this.
"Who are these people?"
Xiyue shook her head.
"I didn't have time to ask. As soon as I saw someone coming, I hurried to find the young lady. My mother is guarding the door now."
After listening, Lin Jiuyue frowned.
"We have such a poor and remote place, yet so many people have come here. Let's go out and take a look with your young lady."
After saying that, Lin Jiuyue stood up and walked out the door.
"Miss, you are here."
When Aunt Li saw Lin Jiuyue coming, she quickly made way for her.
"Miss, they said they were from the General's Mansion."
Lin Jiuyue nodded slightly.
"Got it, Aunt Li, go down and make some tea to entertain the guests."
After Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, she took two steps forward.
Some of the people on the opposite side had seen Lin Jiuyue before. When they saw Lin Jiuyue coming out, they smiled and walked forward politely to speak.
"Miss Lin, I am the steward of the General's Mansion. Do you remember me?"
Lin Jiuyue nodded to the housekeeper.
"Of course I remember. I wonder what brings you so many people here today?"
"Miss Lin, the general sent someone back with a letter saying that the army is short of food and fodder, and his soldiers haven't had a full meal for a long time."
"So she sent this old slave to Miss Lin, saying that she had some food and wanted it shipped to the border. So, Madam sent this old slave here..."
After the butler finished speaking, he smiled embarrassedly at Lin Jiuyue.
The lady only asked me to come and transport food, but she didn't tell me the price of the food or when to pay.
As a servant, I didn't dare ask my master such questions. But now that I had spoken out loud, I felt a little embarrassed.
Lin Jiuyue was stunned for a moment, then smiled happily.
It just so happened that he had no one and was worrying about how to transport the food to the border. He didn't expect that at this critical moment, the Gu family would send someone over.
Isn’t this what people often say, when you feel sleepy, give you a pillow?
However, the issue of food is not a trivial matter after all. I have to find out clearly before I can hand over the food to them.
"You said Madam Gu sent you to transport the grain? Do you have any proof?"
After hearing this, Butler Gu quickly took out the jade pendant that symbolized Madam Gu's status from his lapel.
"Miss Lin, this belongs to the Madam. Please take a look."
Lin Jiuyue raised her eyes and glanced at the jade pendant in the butler's hand.
"Don't look, I believe you."
The butler put the jade pendant away with a smile.
"Miss Lin, then..."
"The food is not at home. Send your people to follow me."
When the housekeeper heard Lin Jiuyue's words, his eyes narrowed with laughter.
I thought that I would encounter some difficulties when I came here to transport grain, but I didn't expect Miss Lin to agree so readily.
If I had known that Miss Lin was so easy to talk to, I wouldn't have to worry so much along the way.
"Hey, Miss Lin, please lead the way, I will follow you soon."
Lin Jiuyue nodded.
They had just returned from the town and the carriage had not been unloaded yet, which was convenient for Lin Jiuyue.
I didn't bring Xiyue with me when I went to the town in the morning. Now that there were outsiders present, Xiyue went with Lin Jiuyue.
The grain store in the town.
Uncle Li saw that Lin Jiuyue had just left not long ago and came back, so he hurried to greet him.
"Miss, didn't you just leave not long ago? Why..."
Lin Jiuyue raised her hand.
"Uncle Li, is the food ready? Someone will come and take it away soon."
Uncle Li: ...
"Miss, didn't you say that you haven't found anyone to transport the food yet?"
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
"Well, now that we have someone here, we can save ourselves some trouble."
Uncle Li saw Lin Jiuyue say this, and did not ask any more questions. He just said.
"The food has been sorted out, and we can just load it onto the truck later."
Lin Jiuyue and Xiyue came first in a carriage, and Butler Gu was followed by a group of people, walking slower.
However, the town was not far from Shangbei Village. After Lin Jiuyue gave instructions to Uncle Li, Butler Gu and his men also arrived.
"Miss Lin, you walk so fast."
"Butler Gu, I had the shop assistants sort out the food this morning. I see you've got quite a few people with you, so I don't need to look for people to load the truck, right?"
Butler Gu waved his hands quickly.
"No, no, Miss Lin, I'm already embarrassed, how can I ask you to go to the trouble of looking for someone?"
Before coming, Mrs. Gu sent enough people to Butler Gu.
The work of loading the truck can be done quickly with the people brought by Butler Gu.
"Okay, then, shall we start loading the car now?"
After Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, she turned around and looked at Uncle Li and Lai Fulaicai behind her.
"Uncle Li, open the shop door."
After counting the grain in the morning, Lin Jiuyue asked Uncle Li and the other two to close the door of the grain shop.
After the door was opened, a lot of people gathered at the door of the grain shop in an instant.
"It's open, it's open. The Lin family's grain store is open."
"Shopkeeper, does your grain store have any grain for sale now?"
"I heard that the grain sold in this grain store is a bit more expensive than other grain stores. Do we really want to buy it here?"
"It's okay if it's a little more expensive. Who told you other food stores don't have food to sell?"
Lin Jiuyue’s grain shop sells mostly grain from the space, so the price is slightly higher than other grain shops.
The people gathered at the door were basically not from wealthy families.
In the past, when these people wanted to buy food, they generally would not come to Lin Jiuyue’s grain shop.
But now it is different from before. Other grain shops have no grain to sell, so these people have no choice but to come to Lin Jiuyue’s grain shop to buy it.
The grain shop was closed just now, but I didn't expect it to be open now.
