Reborn peasant girl: I became rich overnight by traveling to sea

Chapter 43
There was a push at the door of the house.Chang Pingning and her mother-in-law looked at each other and quickly pretended to be chatting at the table.

After shopkeeper Zhao entered the room, he personally settled the price of the scallops delivered to them and kept thanking them.

Ye Xiuying said a few polite words: "Scallops are not as easy to catch as sea urchins. Thank you, shopkeeper Zhao, for collecting the scallops from us."

"Ms. Guo, there is no need to be modest. The quality of the seafood you send is always guaranteed and there will be no problems. This is the trust between us." Shopkeeper Zhao said and handed the money to Ye Xiuying.

Chef Wang also helped, praising the seafood they brought to us for being plump and firm.

After listening to Chef Wang's words, Shopkeeper Zhao kept praising the character of the two ladies of the Guo family.

In this way, Chang Pingning and her mother-in-law were sent out of Xiankelai Restaurant with respect by shopkeeper Zhao.

A few steps after the two walked around the corner, Chang Pingning heard the disgusting sound of spitting coming from nearby.

When she turned around, she saw Guo Yuhua glaring at the two of them fiercely.

Ye Xiuying patted the back of Chang Pingning's hand: "There are other seafood to sell, so don't waste time."

Chang Pingning nodded respectfully and followed closely behind her mother-in-law.

The two of them seemed not to see Guo Yuhua and walked away.

What I encountered at Cyclamen in the morning made me feel good, and even the seafood was sold out quickly.

Before noon, Chang Pingning and her mother-in-law returned to Guojiacun.

Chang Pingning remembered Meng Xia and Miss Liu's proposal the day before. After telling her mother-in-law, she took the initiative to go to Liu's house to find those two people.

Unexpectedly, after knocking on the door of the Liu family's mansion, Butler Liu who opened the door told her.

"Miss and Chef Meng went out today. I don't know when they will be back. If it's convenient, I can tell you something for Mrs. Chang." Butler Liu's respectful attitude showed a hint of impatience.

Chang Pingning was just wondering when he had offended Butler Liu when he heard a arrogant female voice coming from the courtyard of the Liu family.

"Butler, what do you have to say to these village idiots? I asked you to bring breakfast. Why don't you even see breakfast? The lady and I are going to starve to death!"

Listening to the words coming from the yard, Chang Pingning saw Butler Liu closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, as if he was restraining himself from enduring something.

Chang Pingning waved his hand: "It's okay, Butler Liu, you can just let them come to my house when they come back."

With that said, Chang Pingning pointed the direction to Butler Liu and quickly turned around and left.

I didn’t expect that there was such a person in the Liu family.It turned out that she and Ruilan were in the kitchen, and she didn't know there was such a person in the Liu family.

Chang Pingning thought about it, and then thought about Old Mrs. Liu who came to toast them at the flowing water banquet that day. He didn't know how he raised such a big family.

After returning home, Ye Xiuying looked a little strange and asked casually: "Why are you back so soon?"

Chang Pingning shook his head: "I'm not at home. I said I had something to do and went out." Speaking of the scolding voice he heard at Liu's house.

Ye Xiuying curled her lips and shook her head.The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted for a while about random speculations about the Liu family's experiences, but soon, Guo Ling'an's crying came from the main room.

"Hey, mind your own business first." Ye Xiuying sighed, glanced at Chang Pingning helplessly, and shouted into the hall, "Guo Shuyi! I asked you to take care of your sister, why did you make her cry again?"

As Ye Xiuying spoke, she ran into the main room in a hurry.

Chang Pingning looked at her mother-in-law's back and walked to the kitchen to prepare lunch for the family.Mind your own business first.

Thinking about what her mother-in-law had just said, Chang Pingning never expected that her mother-in-law would be much more open-minded than her at certain times.

In the afternoon, Miss Liu and Meng Xia came to see Chang Pingning.

They told Chang Pingning that they happened to go to Cyclamen in the town in the morning and had already negotiated with shopkeeper Zhao that Chang Pingning could sell sea urchin fried rice at the port.

"But shopkeeper Zhao said." Meng Xia said with a smile, "He asked us to mention the name of 'Cyclamen'."

"What?" Chang Pingning didn't understand how to mention this.

"That's right, if anyone likes to eat it, shopkeeper Zhao wants us to tell those merchants that they can go to Xiankelai in town to eat it." Meng Xia explained to Chang Pingning.

"But... those merchants come and go in a hurry, they may not go to the town, right?" Chang Pingning was a little confused.

Meng Xia nodded: "That's what we said too. But he doesn't mind, he just said we mentioned it."

Chang Pingning waited and found that Meng Xia had nothing else to say.Taking the initiative to ask: "Is that it? Shopkeeper Zhao has no other requirements?"

Thinking of what he overheard in the morning, how shopkeeper Zhao directly reduced the price in the face of Guo Yuhua's bargaining, Chang Pingning always felt that shopkeeper Zhao would not let go so easily.

Sure enough, when faced with Chang Pingning's question, Miss Liu and Meng Xia looked at each other and said the same thing.

"Aren't you worried about rice?" Miss Liu asked.

"Not too worried?" Chang Pingning thought for a while, "Since you have already gone to Cyclamen, the rice problem must have been solved?"

Moreover, Chang Pingning thought of the scolding from the Liu family's yard that he heard in the morning, and he guessed that it might have something to do with Miss Liu taking rice from home.

The three of them had their own thoughts, and it was obvious that they were hiding something from each other. The courtyard of the Guo family became quiet for a while.

"Why don't you say anything?" Ye Xiuying took Guo Lingan to the kitchen, and when passing by, he spotted three young ladies sitting quietly in the yard.

"It's nothing... Thanks for reminding me, aunt." Meng Xia seemed to be woken up suddenly and looked at the other two people, "In this case, the small stall for the three of us is completed?"

Chang Pingning and Liu Qingwan looked at each other, then looked at Meng Xia, and nodded in confirmation.

"Little lady, I, an old woman, have a lot to ask." Ye Xiuying on the side interjected, "How much money do you plan to invest?"

Although Chang Pingning said that she would not ask for money from the father-in-law, she just discovered that the decisions of these three young ladies were a bit too hasty, and she couldn't help but worry that the boss's wife would be deceived.

"Don't worry, ma'am." Meng Xia waved her hand boldly, "People with a business mind can start from scratch!" His tone was full of confidence.

Chang Pingning was stunned. She was still thinking of three people each investing a little money and setting up the stall. How could Meng Xia have such an idea without spending money?Chang Pingning looked at her mother-in-law suspiciously, and found that her eyes were also full of doubts.

"Ahem." Chang Pingning didn't want to undermine Meng Xia's confidence, so she pretended to cough and asked doubtfully, "How do you plan to start a business from scratch?" Then he looked at Miss Liu aside, trying to see something from her.

Unexpectedly, Miss Liu smiled at her and looked at Ye Xiuying who was holding the child beside her: "Aunt Guo, please come and sit with your child too. I heard it before and thought I could give it a try. After a while, you guys will feel comfortable If there’s anything wrong, just bring it up directly.”

This was what Ye Xiuying was waiting for. She asked Guo Lingan to go to the main room and bring out two stools. She smiled sheepishly at the two people from the Liu family and said, "Since Miss Liu doesn't mind me listening, I will listen shamelessly. I also Out of curiosity, since you want to set up a stall to sell fried rice, you must at least have a stove or something like that, right?"
