Chapter 53 Is the seller right?
"Tsk tsk, you were trying to persuade me just now, now it's my turn to make a lot of reasons."
Chen blushed, "I won't tell you anymore, I'm going to buy groceries."
Qiao Mai smiled, and the ancient woman couldn't help teasing. Just as she was about to work with needles, the mayor walked slowly to her stall, followed by two guards.
"Yo, the mayor is here to inspect?"
"Girl, the mayor of this town has something to do with you, can you speak to me?"
"What's the matter, mayor, let's talk about it here. No one is watching my stall, just me."
The mayor lowered his voice and said, "This mayor tasted the gift you gave, and it was very delicious. Did you make it up yourself?"
"Yeah, what's up?"
"Are you the seller?"
"Of course, what's the matter, you always want to buy my prescription?"
"Say a price?"
Qiao Mai chuckled, "Do you always give me a price? Let me hear it, and sell it if it suits you."
"Ordinary dim sum recipes, one hundred taels a piece, your recipe, I'll give you five hundred taels to sell off, unless you make it yourself and eat it at home, you are not allowed to sell it, is that okay?"
"Is it five hundred taels of one kind of stuffing, or five hundred taels of five kinds of stuffing?"
The mayor stretched out five fingers and said in a low voice, "One kind is five hundred taels, and five kinds are two thousand five hundred taels."
Qiao Mai responded immediately with a smile on Mimi, "Mayor, you are really a good person, the price is fair, let's make a deal!"
"It's a pleasure to agree, I doubt you."
"It's the mayor, you don't bully people, and the price you give is right. I don't plan to open a workshop or a shop. You always like this one. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"
The mayor looked at her deeply. She was a very smart woman with a humble appearance, a fierce smile, and a cunning inside.
"Well, after you write the prescription, I will bring the bank note."
"Is this the deal?"
"It's a deal! I didn't expect you girl to hide your clumsiness. The deed of sale and the IOU from shopkeeper Lu are fake, right?"
"It is true to borrow money, and it is also true to have to pay back the money,"
"Should I be able to pay off now?"
"Hey, the mayor has to take care of me in the future, otherwise those people are too shameless, and I can't handle it as a woman."
"Hmph, if you don't look at shopkeeper Lu, the mayor of the town will not help you."
"I will have a new prescription in the future, and I will think of you as the first one."
"That's more or less."
Seeing the mayor walk away with his hands behind his back, Qiao Mai pursed his lips. The money came too fast.
She doesn't care what the mayor's family does, as long as the water between them is not like the river, and mutual benefit is fine.
Bang Hei packed up the stall and went home, the two sons opened the courtyard door and helped her unload the car together.
"What did Mr. teach you today?"
"The Three Character Classic, I also explained it to us, and then wrote a few of the simplest characters, left homework, and wrote a word twenty times."
"Are you done?"
"I finished writing in the afternoon, mother, we made pumpkin porridge and fried a plate of eggs with leeks."
"Why didn't you fry the meat?"
"Hee hee, I want to eat eggs."
After Qiao Mai entered the courtyard, the door was blocked by a child.
She washed her hands and face, and sat in the courtyard to eat with the two children. The two children could do everything well without her being paralyzed.
"Sir, what can you have at home for lunch?"
"He wanted to leave, but we stopped him, saying it was mother's order, so he stayed, steamed half a pot of rice, and fried a large plate of bacon. Brother Xiaochuan ate it cutely."
"Well, from now on, my husband will have lunch at home. Don't just fry one meat dish and another vegetarian dish, but two."
"Got it, mother."
After Yuan Jiaqi taught the child from the first day, he found that the Fengyun brothers are really good talents, and Chen Hao is a little bit behind, but if he is willing to work hard and not afraid of hardship, this child is not bad.
Of course, their own Chuan'er is even better.
He cheered himself up, he must teach these children well, and let the children fulfill his wishes that he couldn't realize.
From then on, as soon as Qiao Mai left, he and Chuan'er would come over, and he would let the children play for a while in the middle of the agreed one-hour class, and then continue until noon before letting them play.
Seeing that there was a shortage of water in Joe's tanks, he filled all the tanks with water in the well in the yard.
After knowing that Qiao Mai raised poultry in the house, he was surprised but acceptable. This was the first time someone raised this in the house.
On the full moon festival that day, what Qiao Shi said felt weird, and he couldn't explain why. After seeing the quail, he remembered the description of Qiao Shi.
This woman does not stick to small details, does not stick to secular etiquette, behaves freely and freely, and does whatever she wants. People who are with her feel very comfortable.
Yes, that's the feeling. Once in contact with Qiao Shi, it's easy to get close to her.
My son is like this, Chen Hao is also like this, and I am even more like this?
He is the same as Qiao Mai, he has no thoughts between men and women, and he wants to live a good life with all his heart.
Nai Hetian didn't get what he wanted. Early in the morning, Qiao Mai hadn't left his stall when he heard crying from the neighbor's yard on his right.
Qiao Mai seemed to hear Chuan'er crying, so he gently opened the door of the neighbor's house on the right and walked in.
At this time, Yuan Jiaqi stood in front of the house with a calm expression. In front of him was an old couple, presumably his parents.
She kept silent and went to hug Hai Chuan who was crying in the room.
"Don't cry, go to aunt's house first, just leave it to your father, he can handle it."
Just like that, she carried Chuan'er to her home, let Fengyun play with him for a while, loaded the car by herself, and went to set up a stall.
She is a woman, and she is still divorced, so it is impossible for her to get involved in his affairs.
The mayor came as scheduled, and Qiao Mai had already written the prescription in the space, and she found out the words she didn't know by checking the books.
The two pay the money with one hand and the prescription with the other.
"Girl, if you have a good prescription in the future, come directly to the mayor?"
"You are always so kind. If I have a prescription in the future, I will definitely look for you."
"You can talk better than your sister Lu, haha!"
Since August 15th, her ice cubes have been off the shelf, but there are also a lot of new products on the market.
Some oranges, jujubes, grapes, etc., which are not usually seen in the town, also appeared in her booth one after another.
At this time, no one will suspect these products, because it is already the season for fruits to go on the market.
As soon as the mayor left, shopkeeper Lu came.
"What is he doing here?"
"Buy the recipe for the moon cakes I made."
"You sold it?"
"Ah, I don't open a shop, what do I keep it for?"
"Why don't you open it?"
"I'll just sell these things, open a shop, don't open it, so as not to make others jealous."
"How much silver did he pay?"
"One prescription is five hundred taels, and five give two thousand five hundred taels."
"Not much, if I were here, I would have to ask him to pay one thousand taels of silver."
"You are so black!"
"You don't know, there are many shops in his family, all over the Ming Dynasty."
"Then why is he nesting here?"
Shopkeeper Lu stopped snorting, "Who knows why he's going crazy, he insists on staying here, hum!"
The two were talking in a low voice, and there was a man standing in front of the stall. He looked at Qiao Mai with a straight face, and roared angrily.
"I heard that you asked someone who is nothing to teach your son to read?"
Shopkeeper Lu knew him, "Mr. Lin, what's the matter?"
"It has nothing to do with you! Don't meddle in it!"
Qiao Mai didn't get up either. Seeing the other party's attitude, he felt very displeased, and his face sank immediately.
"What? You don't accept students anymore, so I can't find a husband for my son?"
"How can he deserve the word Mr.? He just studied in my school for a few years, and he doesn't even have a reputation. You are harming your child."
"Mr. Lin, Big Brother Yuan can read and write, and he is also proficient in arithmetic. He doesn't have a reputation, so it doesn't mean that he is unlearned. Besides, I don't want my son to be an official. It's good if he can read and write. Why can't he teach? ?”
"You, you stupid woman, you are irresponsible to children."
"I said, Mr. Lin, are you being too lenient? Whom I hire to teach the children is my business, and it has nothing to do with you?"
