The moment Shi Yingying stopped, Bai Qianfan's days would become much easier. She felt that the prestige of an elder would take effect, after all, she was an honorable person with great authority and power, so it was not easy for her to offend her.
She started to happily run outside, to take care of the embroidery work, sell the cakes and catch the loaches. Everyday, she would always be busy with other things, always at the Drunken Immortal Tavern entrance. Shi Yingying stood upstairs and looked at her.
Bai Qianfan was a person who did not hide anything. She and Shi Yingying did not have any deep grudges between them, and instead, quite liked her outspoken and straightforward attitude. Since the other party had given up, there was nothing for her to care about. When Shi Yingying greeted her, she also replied with a smile. Sometimes, when she passed by his Drunken Immortal Tavern with fish, shrimp, and loach, Shi Yingying would buy them like she did in the past.
Every time she gave him too little, he would buy from other places. Bai Qianfan was sharp enough to feel that there were business opportunities here, so she used a lower price to buy a large number of fish and prawns to sell to Drunken Immortal Tavern, as long as she was willing to buy, the price would be higher than the market, both sides would be able to cooperate well, although the difference in price was not too much, but when it came to the larger scale, the amount of money was more than enough. Bai Qianfan was extremely happy, and she became even more excited, and decided not to sell the biscuit.
Drunken Immortal Tavern signed a contract with her, making her supply fish and shrimp for a long period of time. She was given a large sum of money, the white and white silver made her eyes light up, and she was simply overjoyed. It was not that she had never seen money before, but when she left, she sold a green kiln bottle and got five thousand silver taels.
When she went out, she saw a blue cotton cloth laid in the corner. After thinking for a moment, she also bought one for herself, three pieces of cloth on her shoulders, and walked towards the market with her head held high. She also bought a long broom, two dustpan, a bucket, a large bamboo basket, two pigs, a kilogram of beef, five chickens, some vegetables for the season, and carried it all the way home.
Yue Xiang was startled when she opened the door, "Where did all these things come from?"
Bai Qianfan laughed proudly, "I bought it."
"Where did you get the money?"
Housekeeper Shi gave me a large deposit and I will take all of the aquatic products for the next three months. Sis Yue Xiang, our family is going to be rich soon.
Yue Xiang was also very happy, she quickly called Yue Gui out to help him take the items, and said, "If you have the money, quickly come to the shop in front to repay our credits."
Bai Qianfan took off the things on her body, "I also remember this matter, I need to return this as soon as possible, if not I would be too embarrassed to go and borrow rice again. If I had to say that the money manager is really a good person, by the way, I also bought some malt candy for Niu Niu, and we can send it over together."
She took something out of the bamboo basket and ran to the grain and oil store in front of them.
As the days passed, the weather gradually became hotter. Bai Qianzhang, wearing the new summer dress made from laurel, lowered his head and looked left and right at the teenage boy in Jiangnan who was used to wearing a short coat. The bay had also made one for her. Bai Qianzhang had pretended to be a kid for more than half a year, but he was still a girl in his heart. When he grew older, he became more and more fond of her, and hated her for her beauty. He insisted that the laurel be embroidered with a few pieces of bamboo leaves that were similar in color to the cloth.
Wearing her new clothes, she happily left the house and met Shi Shengcheng at the Drunken Immortal Tavern entrance. Bai Qianfan greeted him. Normally, Housekeeper Shi would smile when he saw her, but today, he looked at her with a cold gaze and spoke impolitely, "Qian Fan, you brat, you are too much. Half of the goods that you sent over yesterday died today, and our contract states that we can raise fresh fish and prawns for at least three to five days.
Bai Qianfan was shocked, "It can't be, more than half of them died in one night?"
"Do I lie to you?" Shi Shengcheng was a little annoyed, he turned and walked towards the restaurant, "Go and take a look yourself if you don't believe me."
Bai Qianfan followed him inside the pond in the backyard where the fishes were kept. On the surface of the water, there were grass fish, carp and carp that had their stomachs turned over.
She then looked at the other side of the crabs. The same was true for the ones that didn't die. Bai Qianfan was completely confused, she scratched her head, "How can this be? "She was perfectly fine yesterday, how did she die?"
You have to ask yourself, "Shi Shengcheng snorted," Ying Ying said that you were an honest man, and only now did I sign the contract with you. I never thought that you would try to play tricks on me, let me tell you, I have been in business for decades, what have I not seen before.
Bai Qianfan anxiously tried to explain, "Housekeeper Shi, I am really an honest man, how could I lie to you? Don't worry, we will do it according to the contract, I will definitely not go back on my words."
"Alright, straightforward," Shi Shengcheng said. "If you follow the agreement, you will have to return the deposit and even compensate me with a silver coin.
Bai Qianfan exclaimed, "How much do you want to lose?"
Shi Yingying walked over, "Father, A Fan is not that kind of person, it must be someone else who lied to him, and it's not easy for him, please give him another chance."
Seeing that Shi Yingying spoke up for her, Bai Qianfan smiled gratefully, "Housekeeper Shi, please give me one more chance."
Shi Shengcheng muttered to himself for a while, and said with some awkwardness, "Alright, I'll give you one more chance, on account of Yingying. If something like this happens again, you'll have to follow the rules."
"Definitely," Bai Qianfan nodded her head, bowed and smiled apologetically. "There will never be such a thing again, I promise you." She had interacted with the fish and prawns for so long, so even if she wasn't an expert, she still had some ability to judge the quality of the goods. Previously, she had blamed her for not taking care of them, but perhaps she didn't even notice when they took the recharge.
However, everything was unpredictable. No matter how carefully she checked, a few days later, another batch of goods went wrong. They were still alive and kicking when they arrived, and after a night, more than half of them died.
Shi Shengcheng's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, Bai Qianfan dejectedly stood in front of him, constantly twisting her fingers, on the counter, the shopkeeper's abacus was striking loudly, finally reporting a number.
When Bai Qianfan heard the amount of money, she almost slid down the wall. Unless she sold her house, she would absolutely not be able to afford to pay this amount of money.
