Take the space supermarket to farm

Chapter 246 Pomp

Xia Daohua knew Jiang's feelings, so she thought that even if they couldn't get together, they could often exchange letters, which would be a comfort to Jiang.

What's more, she still has some small thoughts, thinking that if she is lucky, she might be able to trick Jiang's sister-in-law, who is smart, capable, broad-minded and has high emotional intelligence.

Mrs. Jiang's natal family is really a rare family that can save worries.

Even among the sisters-in-law, there is some competition and some secret fighting, but each of them knows what they have in mind, has a bottom line, and is measured.

If I could get help from Mrs. Jiang’s mother-in-law...

Xia Daohua thought for a while and sighed.

I am limited by my age and gender, so it is actually difficult for me to be recognized by adults. Especially when it comes to money and business, who dares to trust a half-year-old child without reservation?

This kind of thing is very rare in modern society, let alone in the conservative and backward time and space of the Great Chu Dynasty.

However, the main purpose of Xia Daohua's letter was to resolve Jiang's knot in her mind.

As for hooking up with my aunt, it was just a matter of hunting rabbits and taking care of her.

After Xia Daohua finished writing the letter, she took a bag of copper coins and strolled out of the door. She went to the Fuwei Escort Agency closest to Daohuaxiang, found a caravan going to Beiguan Town, and asked the leader of the caravan.

and the bodyguard to help deliver the message.

When she came out of the escort office, she saw a surging flow of people on the street, heading towards the county government office. Xia Daohua became curious and followed her there.

When I arrived near the county government office, I found someone blowing a gong to clear the way. Several tall horses tied with red silk were walking in front, followed closely by three broad carriages covered with blue silk cloth, and then followed by a row of horse-drawn carts carrying many people.

There were suitcases and luggage of various sizes, and about a dozen young men and women in uniform.

Such a big news naturally attracted countless idlers from Jixiang County.

Xia Daohua is not an idler, but when encountering such excitement, she has to stop and take a look.

This group of people rushed towards the street behind the county government office.

This posture looks like the new county magistrate has arrived.

Xia Daohua walked up to a servant who was on duty near the county government office, handed him a pack of spiced watermelon seeds wrapped in oil paper, and approached him with a smile:

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Chai. Please ask me something - who do these many majestic carriages belong to? The people in the carriages all look very handsome!"

The officer took the watermelon seeds and looked at Xia Daohua up and down. When he saw that she was a little girl whose height was less than his own shoulders, his temper softened at first.

This little lady has an upright appearance, a bright smile, she is neatly dressed, her clothes are fresh and refreshing, and the material she wears is cotton. Although it is not particularly expensive, it is not something ordinary people can afford, so her attitude becomes more kind.

Got:

"My dear lady, this is the arrival of the new master.

This is the first time we have seen such a grand event.

Everyone still doesn't know what the new grandpa's temperament is like.

Don’t be too trustworthy, young lady, if you follow the crowd towards the master, if you are bumped into by someone or offend the master, wouldn’t it be an injustice?”

After hearing this, Xia Daohua nodded obediently and thanked her with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Cha, for the tip."

When the officer saw this, he felt even more relaxed. He waved his hand and urged Natsudao Hanadao:

"Okay, okay, go away quickly and don't linger around here. If you want to watch the excitement, just go to the teahouse over there and watch from a distance."

Xia Daohua took a look at the teahouse over there. The decoration was a bit old and the business seemed a bit deserted. With such a big bustle, there were no people in the teahouse.

The location of this place is good, but in such a good location, how come the business of this teahouse is so slow?

Xia Daohua was thinking about the teahouse business at the moment, so she naturally paid more attention to various teahouses. She happened to also plan to observe the style of the new county magistrate, so she rushed to the teahouse that was obviously a bit deserted.

Went.

After entering the door, the waiter listlessly welcomed her to the private room on the second floor.

Xia Daohua asked for a private room facing the street and by the window. There were three or four rooms available for her to choose from.

Xia Daohua booked a room, rewarded the young man with twenty copper coins, and induced him to talk.

When he saw the copper coins, the waiter's eyes suddenly brightened, and his original listless appearance disappeared in an instant. In the blink of an eye, he transformed from a river clam with his mouth shut to a chatty maniac.

If Xia Daohua asked a question casually, he would come up with a long list of relevant information.

Xia Daohua couldn't help but feel happy when she heard it.

"What? Sir, why do you think the business here is so deserted? Hey! It wasn't the county magistrate who caused the trouble!

The county magistrate rented two private rooms in my house, where he entertains guests for tea all year round, talks about poetry and painting, and visits relatives and friends. He just keeps paying bills and never gives any money..."

"Others learned that the county magistrate likes to hang around here, and some like to fawn over, so they pestered him, but they also don't like to pay bills...

More people just avoid it.

Everyone knows that Mr. Xie doesn’t like the smell of copper and hates merchants the most. How can we, the merchants, have any place to stand when we meet Mr. Xie?

The businessmen and customers who used to drink tea in our shop no longer dare to come..."

Xia Daohua took out a lot of information from the chatty young man's mouth. She felt more and more that this man was somewhat useful, so she rewarded him with another ten dollars.

The boy was inexplicably excited and revealed some information:

The owner is planning to put the store up for sale, but he has never gone to Yahang to list it because he is still a bit conflicted and reluctant to part with this ancestral store.

At this time, business was slow, and he was basically relying on his past savings to support himself. The boss's idea was to see what the new county magistrate's behavior would be like.

If the new county magistrate is a good official, he will continue to persevere and continue this business.

If the new county magistrate is not a good person, he will sell the shop, return to his hometown, buy a few acres of land, farm it for others, and collect rent to support himself in old age.

Hearing this, Xia Daohua observed the layout of the store more carefully.

She thinks this place is really nice.

However, I had just planned to buy a shop and build a teahouse, and this teahouse appeared automatically. This kind of thing was too coincidental.

She planned to observe more, and if this store was listed in the dental store later, she would come back to ask for the price.

As for her suggestion of doing business privately with the boss without going through the dental shop, Xia Daohua said she was grateful and not sensitive.

She was not familiar with the laws of the Chu Dynasty, so how could she know if there would be any hidden dangers without going through Yaren's transactions?

After chatting with the boy for a while, Xia Daohua ordered a pot of jasmine tea and a few snacks, then sat by the window and watched the new county magistrate and his family carry luggage to the house behind the county government office.

Apart from anything else, these cart-pulling horses are all excellent horses.
