Allure of a Country Maiden

"If niece Xiaoer comes up with new tricks in the future, can she just sell them to us, Changsheng?" Shopkeeper Yao said shamelessly.

"If we continue to cooperate happily in the future, I will definitely only sell to Uncle Yao's family." Xiaoer nodded, but she didn't say too much. All cooperation in the world is born because of common interests, and it also dies because of common interests.

Shopkeeper Yao nodded. He had been a shopkeeper for so many years and it was not in vain. The most important thing in doing business is sincerity. Only when both parties are satisfied can the business be long-lasting. "Niece Xiaoer, how much money do you plan to sell these two sets of porcelain for?" ?”

Xiao'er didn't know where the relationship between Shen Chengyao and Shopkeeper Yao was. There was always a friendship price in doing business. Since he didn't know, Shopkeeper Yao took care of it: "Uncle Yao, you can give it to me. I'm not sure about this either." What’s going on inside.”

Shopkeeper Yao was very happy to see this girl being so honest and trusting him so much: "Okay, then I'll give you a total of five hundred taels."

Xiaoer felt that the price was higher than expected, and there should be emotional factors. Xiaoer handed over the design drawing of a set of tableware, "Thank you, Uncle Yao. I didn't prepare a gift for our first meeting. I drew this specially for Uncle Yao." Meeting gift."

Shopkeeper Yao took it, looked through it quickly, and was amazed again, "Okay, it looks really noble and elegant! My niece is a great talent, Uncle Yao thanked my niece."

At this time, Shen Chengyao also came back and was ushered in by the store clerk. As soon as shopkeeper Yao saw him, he immediately stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Brother Chengyao, you are not kind. It took you so long to bring your niece to see me. From now on, Just wait and enjoy the blessings!"

Shen Chengyao was confused as to why he couldn't understand what shopkeeper Yao said today. What does bringing Xiaoer here have to do with enjoying happiness?

"Uncle Yao, I want to order each of the three types of wine jars to be made into fifty catties, twenty catties, ten catties and five catties. Among them, I will need two of the fifty catties and two of the twenty catties. Ten jins and ten jins each.”

"Okay, with such a large quantity, it will take at least a month to make it."

"No problem. Today I want to buy four 50-pound bags and five 10-pound bags. Uncle Yao first calculate how much they cost in total."

"No, Uncle Yao didn't even give you a greeting gift, just think of it as a greeting gift for my niece." Shopkeeper Yao waved his hand, and his niece gave him such a generous gift. As an elder, it's really rude of him not to give you a greeting gift. .

"Uncle Yao, if you do this, you won't welcome me back next time. I guess I will still have to order in the future. If you don't charge me, I won't be embarrassed to come again."

"Brother Yao, this won't work. We can't ask for it in vain, otherwise we won't come to your place next time." Shen Chengyao and Xiaoer firmly refused.

Shopkeeper Yao didn't insist on it when he saw it. It would be more thoughtful to choose another greeting gift. It’s okay if the wine jar gives you a discounted price.

"Because my niece requires twenty kilograms, ten kilograms, and five kilograms of wine jars to be made of blue and white porcelain, so the price is more expensive. Twenty kilograms: two hundred kilograms, ten kilograms: one hundred and fifty kilograms, five kilograms: one hundred kilograms, As for the fifty kilograms, sixty cents each is enough. In addition, I bought four fifty kilograms and five ten kilogram wine jars for a total of two hundred and fifty cents. The total of the two orders is sixteen taels, eight hundred and ten cents. arts."

Shopkeeper Yao’s price was actually half sale and half free. Shopkeeper Yao took out 450 taels of silver notes, and then took out 33 taels of money and gave it to Shen Chengyao, “The extra 10 taels will be used to buy sweets for my niece. "

Shen Chengyao didn't take it. He didn't know what happened before and didn't understand why shopkeeper Yao gave him so much money, so he looked at Xiaoer.

Xiaoer then analyzed: "Dad, I sold two sets of porcelain designs to Uncle Yao."

"Brother Chengyao, your daughter is not simple." Shopkeeper Yao took out the drawings and showed them to Shen Chengyao. Shen Chengyao's eyes widened when he saw them. He didn't know how to describe the tableware and tea sets inside. He just thought they were beautiful and exquisite. , must be very valuable. This was painted by Xiaoer. When did Xiaoer know how to paint? Then she thought of Xiaoer's mysterious master. It's not surprising.

"Xiao'er, these pictures didn't cost much money, right? It's hard for us to ask Uncle Yao for so much money, what do you think?" He said to Xiao'er in a consultative tone, shopkeeper Yao took great care of him. , How could he have the nerve to accept so much money for just a few pieces of paper?

Shopkeeper Yao shook his head, "This thing is worth more than silver. It can generate money. Well, one of them is a meeting gift given to me by my niece. She knows better than you that the father is a good person. If you want to give it to me for nothing, I I'm too embarrassed to accept it, because I don't have to be accused of taking advantage of the younger generation."

After hearing this, Shen Chengyao felt relieved, and then said, "Since Xiaoer earned this banknote, give it to Xiaoer." He would use it for dowry in the future, but he did not say this.

Xiaoer is very satisfied with Shen Chengyao's behavior of consulting with her first. This shows that he is a democratic father. He will not become the master of his children regardless of the situation, and he will not take possession of his children's money on the grounds that the children are ignorant. It is simply The best father.

After hearing this, shopkeeper Yao handed the banknote and money to Xiaoer, "It's safer for my niece to hold it."

Xiaoer took it and put the banknote in the lapel of her clothes. The money was put in the backpack and covered with something, so that all the contents were put in the space.

After the things were done, the two of them said goodbye and went home, but shopkeeper Yao insisted on leaving some food, "I've asked your sister-in-law to prepare it. If you leave without eating, your sister-in-law will definitely scold me. Come on, let's go to the backyard. You're welcome." What the hell, it’s unreasonable to come to my place and leave without eating. You don’t think I’m your elder brother.”

Shen Chengyao couldn't refuse, so he had to give up. As soon as the three of them walked out of the accounting room, they saw the waiter walking in with a man in his early thirties wearing a gray-brown brocade robe.

Shopkeeper Yao led the two of them to greet him, "Mr. Chen, what brought you here?"

"Can't I come to your place if you have nothing to do?" Manager Chen is obviously very familiar with Shopkeeper Yao.

"You usually go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. Come, this is the sworn brother Shen Chengyao I often mention. This little girl is my brother's daughter."

"Mr. Chen, I have long admired you." Shen Chengyao apologized and saluted.

"Mr. Chen is well." Xiaoer followed and blessed Fu.

Manager Chen heard Shopkeeper Yao mention Shen Chengyao, so he responded with clasped fists: "Brother Shen has long admired your name." As the chief manager of the Hou Mansion, it was very embarrassing for him to return a gift to a commoner, the so-called seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister.

Shopkeeper Yao invited everyone to eat in the backyard, and Manager Chen followed him in without being polite.

Although eating is about food, no one is particular about it today. Because Xiaoer is young, she also arranged to sit next to Shen Chengyao. The dishes are very rich, including steamed sea bass, stewed lotus root with pork knuckles, sweet and sour pork ribs, roast duck, roast chicken, ginger Stir-fried crab with green onions, salt-and-pepper shrimp, abalone, stir-fried beef with green pepper, rapeseed in soup, cold cucumber, shrimp and leek, ginseng chicken soup.

This is the first time Xiaoer has had such a rich lunch here.

"Brother Chen, what do you mean you came here today?"

"Come pick out some flower pots and go back to your home. The Marquis recently got some seeds of exotic flowers and plants from overseas. I tried to plant them many times but couldn't grow them. I just stopped by to see if you know anyone here who knows how to take care of flowers and plants. people."

Xiaoer's heart moved after hearing this.

"I sell a lot of flower pots, but I really haven't paid attention to people in this field." Then I thought about Shen Chengyao working part-time jobs everywhere, or even knowing him, so he asked: "Do you know Brother Chengyao?"

Just when Shen Chengyao was about to shake his head and say he didn't know him, Xiaoer pulled his sleeve, and he turned his head and looked at his daughter in surprise:

"Do you know Xiao'er?"

"I can plant." Shen Chengyao thought of Xiaoer's master again, and couldn't help but sigh that her master knew so much and could even plant flowers.

However, as the father of a daughter, he also has to remind his daughter: "Those seeds come from overseas, or have never been seen here before. They are very precious and cannot be wasted."

With space at your fingertips, you have everything! What she can't grow, probably no one in the world can grow. Xiaoer gave Shen Chengyao a reassuring look and activated her lying skills: "I know an old man whose wife is a nymphomaniac. She is very good at growing flowers and can grow any kind of flowers. I have heard her tell a lot about how to grow flowers. If Mr. Chen doesn't mind, you can give me one or two seeds of each flower. I'll try to plant them. Even if they don't come out, one or two seeds won't be a loss. It’s a profit, right?”

I had something to go out during the day today, so I had to get up at 5:30 to code. Thank you to the friends who recommended and collected them. I will continue to ask for favorites, long comments, and recommendations. Thank you.
