Chapter 985

Soon the little son of the workshop came, warmly invited Xu Qing in, and then said that he would take the goods out to her for inspection. Obviously, this skilled posture did not do less of these things.

The younger woman looked a little proud and went to the house to pour out a cup of warm water.

Xu Qing did not want to: "I'm in a hurry, you speed up."

The younger son and a young helper took out a bag of coconut powder from the warehouse and opened it to Xu Qing.

"Madam, look at this coconut powder. It's delicate and even. It's all finely ground by us and screened three times. It's absolutely easy to use!"

Xu nodded and looked satisfied. However, Yu Guang noticed that the assistant behind her little son was not very good. She quietly pinched the bag from the outside, and the feeling from the bottom was thick.

Xu Qing put his hand into the bag and picked up a small piece of flesh that had not been peeled clean.

The younger son's face changed. Seeing Xu Qingleng's face, he felt embarrassed.

Xu Qing: "if the goods are unqualified, I want to refund the deposit."

The youngest son: "why not? Isn't that good?"

Xu Qing: "honesty is the key to business. Didn't your father teach you? The deposit is thirty Liang silver. Now give it back to me. "

Little son: "my father died, the deposit has been spent long ago."

Xu Qing: "so you want me to go to Yamen to sue you?"

Seeing that something was wrong, the little son's mother quickly said with a smile to Xu Qing, "madam, you have something to say. You see, after all, it's an order several months ago. The coconut powder has been broken for so long. You should be responsible for your delay in taking it?"

The younger son suddenly realized this and said to Xu Qing, "yes, you haven't come to pick up the goods for such a long time. The goods must be broken and lost. Who's to blame? We are not responsible! On the contrary, you have to compensate us for the loss! "

The old woman laughed not far away. "Oh, look at the face of you rascal. You are asking for compensation from the guests. If you leave this workshop in your hands, it will close down in less than half a year."

The youngest son's mother said, "what sarcastic remarks do you make? Do you have your share here?"

The old woman sneered: "madam, when she comes to pick up the goods after such a long time, she must confirm with the old man in advance about living and compensation, right?"

Xu Qing: "that's right."

The old woman then said, "that's it. The coconut powder three or four months ago can't be put in this warehouse. Madam, you can go to the ice cellar over there. Maybe the old man has stored your goods there."

Xu Qing listened to each other's words with some affirmation, "OK, I'll go and have a look now."

Xiaoerzi said, "we'll go too. I have to see if you have settled the payment."

Xu Qing: "OK."

The mother of the little son was surprised and suspicious. She stared at the old woman and said, "how do you know?"

The old woman hooked the corner of her lips and said, "guess."

The ice cellar of Fu's family is not far from here. Xu Qing and his family walk by and arrive in a moment.

This large-scale ice cellar is under the care of Fu's restaurant. At ordinary times, it will receive some orders to keep the goods, which can be regarded as an additional income for the restaurant.

1500 catties of coconut powder is not a small amount. The shopkeeper obviously remembers the goods that the coconut powder maker came to deposit at the beginning, and the buyer is a friend of his boss. Naturally, he has an impression.

The shopkeeper turned over the account and said to Xu Qing, "master Xu, your 1500 Jin coconut powder is in the ice cellar. Two months ago, when the boss of the workshop put the goods in, we checked the goods and found that they were all qualified coconut powder. We also settled the payment with him. This is the account. You can have a look at it."

Hearing this, the youngest son asked the shopkeeper, "have you paid my father?"

Shopkeeper: "that's right. There's a certificate. Do you want to see it?"

Little son: "look, look."

The shopkeeper took out the certificate. It was really his father's handwriting. The total amount of money was more than 50 taels of silver, but as a son, he didn't know about the money!

Xu Qing asked: "how much is the ice cellar deposit?"

The shopkeeper said with a smile, "if I take the money from you, the owner will have to scold me. You can use the ice cellar at will, and you won't be charged."

Xu Qing was not polite: "I'll give you the payment."

She took out fifty taels of banknotes and some silver spindles, and paid the money to the shopkeeper.

"I'll take the payment." The shopkeeper changed the account with a smile. The money was paid in advance by their restaurant, not a small sum.

Xu Qing: "I should have collected the three coins. Please help me find some guys to help me carry the coconut powder to the boat."

Shopkeeper: "where did you use so much money?"

Xu Qingxiao: "you must not give me a few layers of ice, or the road will be broken."

Shopkeeper suddenly: "right, right, right, right!"

Now it's going to winter, so the price of ice is cheaper. After all, few people need ice now.Xu Qing: "OK, I'll go first."

After Xu Qing left, the two women also came out. This time, they started to scold each other directly in the street, which was more fierce than just now.

the boss of the workshop didn't know who had given tens of taels of money to. Xu Qing estimated that it was not easy for them to break up.

She was not interested in this kind of dispute. She went directly to find Fu Xitang when she came out of the restaurant.

Fu Xitang is going to transplant cocoa and coffee trees. It's going to winter soon. It's hard to transplant them in this weather.

You can't keep them in pots all the time without transplanting. It's strange that they can live.

There are no greenhouses and sunshine rooms these days. It's impossible to have the best of both temperature and sunshine unless Fu Xitang has some translucent materials to build a warm shed.

But it is impossible to have the technology in this era.

Xu Qing just wanted to see how Fu Xitang overturned his car.

Fu Xitang is really in a dilemma. These tree species are not good on this side of the wharf. He has to move south.

"So you don't care?" Xu Qing did not see the excitement, a little unhappy.

Fu Xitang: "I've sent people to a warmer place to plant. Xiangzhou is more suitable than Lanzhou. I still have a lot of things to do. I'll leave such small things to my servants."

If it is planted well, Fu Xitang will be a big farmer of cocoa beans and coffee beans in the future, and it will be terrible to start a monopoly.

However, Xu Qing didn't have much hope that Fu Xitang could grow it. When it was hot in the southernmost area, it was really hot, but when it was cold, it was also cold. The four seasons were too distinct and the temperature difference was too big for cocoa trees.

However, if one of them mutates and finally adapts to the environment, they will not worry about having no chocolate in the future, but the probability is too small.

Xu Qing thought of grafting, but after grafting, the cocoa beans are not pure. It's hard to say whether the taste is bad or not.
