Nongmen doctor girl: flirt with a sick and charming first child

Chapter 17
When the donkey cart arrived at the county town, it was already broad daylight, and the vegetable sellers and breakfast sellers were shouting one after another, making it very lively.

After sending her to the door of the crowded building, Lao Chen took the copper in her hand and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid I won't be able to drive you in the future. I'd better find another car when I go back."

He is the only one in the village who travels to the county seat. Who else can he look for besides him?
Qiao Muyao was immediately confused, "What do you mean, Uncle Chen? I won't miss your fare."

"It's not about the fare..." Lao Chen hesitated, "The shopkeeper is still waiting, so you'd better hurry over."

Does this mean there will be no more cars to ride in?

Qiao Mu Yao was dumbfounded for a moment. She was not as good-tempered as her original owner. Besides, carrying dozens of kilograms of stuff on her back and asking her to walk more than ten miles on the mountain road, wasn't she asking for trouble?

After being stunned for a while, a middle-aged man, about forty years old, walked over with a smile on his face. The satin gown on the man looked like it was made of fine quality material.

"May I ask, little lady, is this jar filled with hand-peeled bamboo shoots?"

Qiao Muyao glanced at him warily, "Do you want to buy it?"

"Yes, the little lady is so good at peeling bamboo shoots that Xu wants them all."

As soon as the man finished speaking, the shopkeeper Feng Ji, who was full of customers, came over and said, "Young lady, did you come so early today?"

The shopkeeper bought everything without negotiating the price yesterday. Qiao Muyao had a good impression of him and intended to cooperate with him for a long time.

"It's getting late. I wonder if the shopkeeper still wants it today?" Qiao Muyao stepped forward and asked.

Feng Ji glanced at the middle-aged man and said proudly: "I want it, and I want as much as I want!"

"The shopkeeper is really happy!" Qiao Muyao carried the bamboo basket and walked in happily.

"and many more!"

The middle-aged man suddenly shouted: "I want this jar of bamboo shoots, please just ask me the price!"

This is interesting. Just now I was glad that the bamboo shoots were selling well, but I never thought that they would become a popular snack.

Qiao Muchao stopped and, with the help of the middle-aged man, put the backpack on the ground.

"You really want it all?"

"I am Xu Yinian, the shopkeeper of Fengxiju. If shopkeeper Feng wants everything, why should I, Xu Yinian, not be able to afford it?" said the middle-aged man who introduced himself to his family.

"It turns out to be the famous shopkeeper Xu, so disrespectful!" Qiao Muyao secretly rejoiced. This Fengxiju is the best restaurant in the county, and I heard that the cheapest meal starts with one tael of silver.

I don’t know what happened yesterday?Shopkeeper Xu also blocked her in person, which made Qiao Muyao very happy.

"Haha, the reason why Xu introduced himself is because he wanted to get the little lady to peel bamboo shoots." Xu Yinian said cheerfully.

The person named Xu is so shameless, he actually came to his own property to cut off the beard so early in the morning!
Feng Ji's face turned green with anger, "My wife and I have already made an appointment. I'm afraid Shopkeeper Xu is being unkind by doing this!"

"Have you made an appointment? Is there a contract or a deposit?" Xu Yinian took out a piece of silver from his sleeve, "This is my sincerity, Xu, please accept this deposit."

The silver ingot was about [-] taels. Qiao Mu Yao was hesitating whether to accept it or not. Feng Ji took out a large silver ingot worth [-] taels and handed it to Qiao Mu Yao.

"Not only is Shopkeeper Xu sincere, but I, Feng, am also sincere. Madam, we worked together yesterday. You should know who I am. I, Feng, can still give me the price Shopkeeper Xu gave me." Yesterday's bamboo shoots were thicker, and those that were the thickest Two or three of the thick ones weigh one pound, and even if they are thin, one weighs one or two taels, which is why she charges such a high price.

"I heard that you sold them for half a penny a piece yesterday?" Xu Yinian said, "Then I'll pay a penny a piece."

Feng Ji gritted his teeth, "I want every penny!"

Good guy, the price has doubled in an instant!

Qiao Muchao opened the lid and said sincerely to the two of them: "To be honest, today's bamboo shoots are smaller than yesterday, and the number of bamboo shoots must be twice as many as yesterday. The price of one penny per shoot is really too high. Otherwise, the price doesn’t need to change, and each of you will share half of the jar of bamboo shoots.”

To be honest, she didn't want to offend either of these two bosses.After all, if you want to live here permanently, you may have to rely on them in the future.

The two shopkeepers looked at each other, no one expected such a result.

This lady had cooperated with the guest house yesterday. Xu Yinian was not confident in peeling bamboo shoots, but he immediately said a good word after hearing this.

"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that the bamboo shoots were smaller than yesterday. Since the young lady is so happy, just accept the deposit. I, Xu Yinian, can trust you!"

Feng Ji also handed over the silver ingot in his hand, "This is the deposit for my full house."

"These five taels of silver are equivalent to ten thousand bamboo shoots!" Qiao Muyao stared at the white silver and said with a frown: "Even if the temperature difference between the foot of the mountain and the top of the mountain is large, the bamboo shoots will appear in sequence, but our bamboo shoots can only be If you ask me to get [-] sticks after eating them for two months, isn’t this embarrassing someone?”

The money was right in front of her, but she couldn't get it, just like she couldn't eat the delicacies right now, she could only watch helplessly, Qiao Muyao was in such pain.

Feng Ji was originally waiting at the door, but found shopkeeper Xu appearing nearby and learned that he was bound to win.

Thinking of the fact that yesterday, because he peeled bamboo shoots with his hands, he had a full house, which was the first time he had a full house, he felt that no matter how much it cost, he would get the bamboo shoots peeled by his hands.

Therefore, after shopkeeper Xu appeared, he returned to the account counter, gritted his teeth and took out a large silver ingot weighing five taels.

The number of customers yesterday was a few percent less than usual. Shopkeeper Xu inquired about it and learned that the restaurant had a new dish of hand-peeled bamboo shoots.A small dish costs ten cents, and diners flocked to it, saying it was the first time they had eaten such delicious bamboo shoots.

Now is a good time to eat bamboo shoots, especially for those scholars who pursue elegance. As they say, "It is better to live without bamboo than to eat without bamboo shoots."

Therefore, a restaurant that can make bamboo shoots delicious and innovative is very popular.

Knowing that the bamboo shoots came from a country woman, Xu Yinian thought that those country women had little knowledge. All they had to do was move out of Fengxiju's name and raise the price a little, and the bamboo shoots would definitely come to hand.

Unexpectedly, the man surnamed Feng refused to give up, and the young woman seemed to have not made up her mind to whom she wanted to sell the bamboo shoots to. In desperation, he took out a silver ingot as a deposit.

"No more, no more, just based on fifty days, it's only two hundred bamboo shoots a day!" Shopkeeper Feng made a calculation. Yesterday, many diners asked for the hand-peeled bamboo shoots. Two hundred bamboo shoots are enough. Sold out.

"This……"

"Little lady, don't hesitate. If you can't get this much, you can give me back when the time comes!" Feng Ji didn't wait for her to hesitate, and directly put the silver ingot into her hand, for fear that the deal he got would be ruined.

"Shopkeeper Feng wants two hundred sticks a day, so I, Master Fengxi, need four hundred sticks." Xu Yinian said proudly: "My dear, please give their half so that they can follow me."
