Chapter 289

In the next few days, Lu Yunkai became very busy. He went out early and came back late, and he didn't know what to do. However, when he came back every day, song Xintong smelled him carefully. There was no smell of wine or rouge, but there was more smell of calligraphy.

I think it's going somewhere to start a small kitchen.

In the early morning of this day, song Xintong went out to the vegetable market early to buy some vegetables. He planned to buy some bones and other things to go home and give Lu Yunkai a tonic.

There are several vegetable markets in Lingnan City, which are concentrated in the West or southwest of Caicheng. They are mainly for the common people. Big families also buy them here, but they all have special delivery vendors. People will not buy them here at all.

The vegetable market song Xintong went to was the nearest to his residence. It took him about 15 minutes to walk. It was not far, but it was not close.

When they arrived, there were people coming and going in the vegetable market. There was a lot of shouting and bargaining.

"Madam, look at my fish. I just picked it up from the pond this morning. It's very fresh."

"Madam, look at my cabbages. I picked them in the field early in the morning. There is dew on them. They are very fresh.

"Sell fungus, fresh fungus... Come and buy it."

These people are vegetable farmers living in villages outside the city. They all look very fresh. This is song Xintong's first time to come to Lingnan city's vegetable market. Before, Daya came to buy them, but Daya couldn't choose them. The dishes she bought every day were just ordinary.

"How do you sell this fish?" Song Xintong felt that he hadn't eaten fish for a long time. When he was in Taohua village, he would go to the pool every few days to catch one and eat it more frequently.

The young man who sold fish said, "madam, the fish is 15 Wen a Jin."

So expensive? The price is about the same as the price they paid for the fat meat in Qingjiang county. The fish in Qingjiang county can be sold for seven or eight Wen a jin at most, which is doubled here.

Seeing song Xintong's hesitation, the young man who sells fish grabs a fish from the bucket. The fish swings its tail uncontrollably and spills all the water on Song Xintong's clothes.

Song Xintong stepped back.

The man who sold the fish threw the fish into the bucket. "Madam, you see, this fish is very fresh and lively. It was picked up in the morning."

"Some of the fish that people are dying have to sell for ten Wen a Jin. It's more cost-effective to buy my fresh fish."

Song Xintong wanted to eat fish. She didn't respond to it. It was delicious.

When I think of the meat that Daya bought before, it's almost 20 Wen a Jin. After all, it's Lingnan city. The price of big city must be expensive.

In order to eat, buy it.

Song Xintong looked at the fish in the bucket. They were all grass carp, not crucian carp, silver carp and so on. But the meat of grass carp was not so smooth, but who made her want to eat it“ Then give me one. "

"Well, do you want a big one or a small one, madam?"

The big thorn is not so small. It's easy to pick a thorn. "Big one."

"Well, this one is the biggest, about four Jin." The man who sells fish wears a straw rope in the gills of the fish, then hangs it on the scale and weighs it. "It's just four Jin. If you have two liang more, I'll give you four Jin."

Song Xintong took a look at the fish with its mouth open and closed, nodded and asked Daya to count sixty Wen to the man who sold the fish.

At this time, the people who sell fish will not help to kill the fish, so song Xintong can only carry a lively fish to continue shopping in the vegetable market.

Next, song Xintong bought some fresh mushrooms. The price of mushrooms was relatively low, two or three Wen higher than that in the county. He also bought meat and bone sticks, and went to the pharmacy to buy some tonics such as Rensheng and Danggui.

After buying these things, they went back to their residence.

As soon as he arrived at the residence, he saw an acquaintance, Jiang Guanshi. He was standing at the door and talking to the twins in the door, but the twins adhered to the principle of not talking to strangers and opening the door, and resolutely refused to open the door.

Jiang Guanshi saw song Xintong coming back, and immediately welcomed her with a smile, "Mrs. Lu, you can come back."

"What's the matter with manager Jiang?" Song Xintong said: "wait a long time, why don't you come in and wait for me?"

Jiang Guanshi laughs bitterly and says, "I just arrived, too."

Song Xintong looked at his smile. How could he feel like a wry smile and cry? Then he looked at the closed gate of the courtyard and yelled, "open the door, Dabao."

When Dabao heard song Xintong's voice, he ran out and opened the door, "sister, you're back."

Xiaobao looked at Song Xintong, "sister, just now a liar wanted us to open the door, but we didn't open it."

Jiang steward face a stiff, helpless smile.

Xiaobao then found that Jiang Guanshi was still standing outside, frowning at him, "why haven't you gone yet?"

"He's not a liar. He's the manager of our family." Song Xintong pushed open the door of the courtyard, "apologize to Uncle quickly."

Xiaobao looked at Jiang Guanshi with a look of horror, and then scratched his head with embarrassment, "sorry, uncle, I didn't know you were a good man."

"Dare not, dare not." Jiang Guanshi busy stagger, dare not accept the twins bow to apologize, "two young masters have such a good sense of vigilance."

"Manager Jiang, please come inside." Song Xintong invited Jiang Guanshi to sit down in the reception hall and poured him a cup of tea. "What's Jiang Guanshi doing here this time?"

Jiang Guanshi took out several pieces of paper from his body and handed them to song Xintong respectfully: "a few days ago, my boss told me to find several shops. After I selected six suitable shops, I invited Mrs. Lu to have a look."

Song Xintong took the paper and looked at it carefully. He found that the shops picked out by Jiang Guanshi were all for rent, not for resale, and the location was pretty good.

There are three places on the main street, not far from the zhuangyuanlou. The whole street is full of restaurants and inns. There are two other places that deviate from the main street, but they are not far from the main street. They just need to take another branch road to get in. It only takes a minute or two to walk. But the passenger flow is far less than the three places on the main street, but the rent is much less.

There is another place by the lake, where there is also a stream of people. In the evening, there are more people than on the main street, and the price is the same as on the main street.

"Mrs. Lu, these shops are the best among the existing shops to rent. The rest are either too remote or too narrow. There are no such problems in these places, but the prices are a little bit higher," Jiang said

Song Xintong nodded, naturally aware of this truth, "I look at these shops are very good location, how can suddenly rent? Isn't it your boss who deliberately left it for us? "

Jiang Guanshi said with a smile: "originally the owner had this meaning, but it's really not."

"Two of these shops are eager to change hands because their owners have debt problems, and some of them are old and want to go home for the elderly." Jiang Guanshi hesitated: "they just want to rent. They haven't decided yet, and they haven't registered in the Yamen. That's why we took the lead."

It turned out that there was internal information. Song Xintong nodded, "but we have a crush on it. What if people don't rent it?"

"Don't worry, Mrs. Lu. They will be willing to rent it to you."
