Space at hand: Pick up a prince to farm

Chapter 51 An accident occurred at the new house construction site

A jar of jam costing one or two cents was too expensive, so he simply raised the price.

He can earn five cents of silver from selling a jar of jam without any cost. If this business continues, the owner will definitely be rich in rewards.

Another hour passed, and the peak of households coming to buy had passed, but Liuweizhai's passion jam still hadn't sold a single jar.

Shopkeeper Zhong sat behind the counter and looked at the customers entering the store from time to time.

At this hour of the day, there were already very few customers entering the store. Although he was confident about the passion fruit jam, he would be lying if he said he was not impatient.

This situation made him lose his appetite even during lunch.

It's almost Shenshi. This is the time of day in summer when people are most drowsy. Shopkeeper Zhong usually goes to the back hall to squint for a while. Today he just sat motionless behind the counter.

The clerks in the store all knew the reason for his abnormality today, but they didn't know what to say.

I just hope that I can sell one or two jars of jam today, so that shopkeeper Zhong won't be like this, and they won't be so cautious in their work.

"Look, there's a sign here, Passion Jam. Is it the Passion Jam we drank at Mrs. Fang's house?"

"It should be so. Didn't Mrs. Fang say that? This passion fruit is a new thing. She also met it at Liuweizhai before. Although she bought it at Zhengji Grocery Store, the person from Zhengji also said that she wanted to buy it. For passion fruit jam, come to Liuweizhai."

"Then let's go in quickly. The smell is really memorable. I see that Mrs. Fang's face is indeed rosier today than before. Maybe the passion fruit jam really has that magical effect."

About a quarter of an hour later, the entrance to Liuweizhai suddenly became lively.

Shopkeeper Zhong jumped up from his chair and walked quickly to the door.

They were several ladies and their servants whom he was relatively familiar with.

"Are you ladies looking for passion fruit jam?" Shopkeeper Zhong said with a smile on his face.

"Do you have any here?" One of the ladies, who looked younger, immediately answered.

"Yes, yes. The ladies arrived just in time. I didn't take out the jam that just arrived today. I didn't even take it out in the morning. I was just waiting for the ladies to come."

"Ladies, please come inside."

Shopkeeper Zhong's mood suddenly flew into the sky, and he couldn't see the same state at all.

A group of people were brought to the shop by shopkeeper Zhong.

"Liu Zi, hurry up and make some fruit tea for the ladies." As soon as he entered the store, the shopkeeper ordered the waiters below to make some passion fruit tea. He felt that Song Chen's trick was quite high.

Moreover, the guests who came now were different from those in the morning. They were all business owners who were not short of money. When he listened to their words, it was clear that they were here for the passion fruit jam.

Give them another drink at this time, and the business will be settled.

The jam is ready-made, just make it with warm water, and Liuzi quickly brought the fruit tea.

The ladies looked at the golden fruit tea in the white tea cups, and were extremely sure that this was the passion fruit tea they drank from Mrs. Fang before.

"Shopkeeper Zhong, our Jia family can be regarded as regular customers of your Liuweizhai. Why do you only send it to that Fang family first when you have such good things?"

A lady took a sip gracefully and turned to look at shopkeeper Zhong with a smile.

Yesterday, Mrs. Fang sent someone to send a message to their house, saying that everyone was invited to have a gathering at Fang's house today. They had not had much interest in it before. After all, people would hold such gatherings every once in a while.

By relying on their friends in the back house to connect with various families, they were going to participate even if they were reluctant, but they didn't want to have such a surprise this time.

Mrs. Fang also gained the envy of everyone because of her passion fruit tea, which can be said to have earned a lot of face.

No, now the ladies from Liuweizhai started to attack Shopkeeper Zhong because they didn't take the opportunity.

When Shopkeeper Zhong heard what the lady said, he immediately felt aggrieved, "Mrs. Jia, you have really wronged me. I only concluded this business with others yesterday. Today is the first day of our Liuweizhai. Why?" The government hasn’t sent it yet, and we haven’t had time to notify it yet.”

Sending it to various prefectures or sending people to go from prefecture to prefecture to promote it were the only options that Shopkeeper Zhong had thought of.

"Then why did Mrs. Fang get the passion fruit jam first?"

"To be honest, madams, Mrs. Fang and the others happened to be in the store when the passion fruit jam was delivered that day. As you all know, Mrs. Fang and the others did not buy their jam from our Liuweizhai."

Shopkeeper Zhong is not afraid to tell the story of the passion jam. Song Chen has signed an exclusive agreement with him anyway.

As soon as he said this, the ladies stopped embarrassing him.

"This passion fruit jam is really strange. I'll take two jars back to my mother-in-law to try."

He took two cans first without asking the price. Shopkeeper Zhong was naturally happy and took two cans himself and placed them in front of the lady.Two big-bellied white porcelain jars are placed in front of you. They are small and cute. People who like utensils will fall in love with them when they see them.

"This little jar is really interesting. Please help me get two jars too."

"Then I'll get two cans first, too."

"Bring me five cans."

Each one decided on the quantity they wanted. The person who wanted five cans at once was known to Shopkeeper Zhong. She had many sisters-in-law in her family and they were all on good terms. She must have taken them back to give to everyone, so Shopkeeper Zhong did not persuade her. Don't buy too much at once.

Song Chen had told him before that the shelf life of jam was not long, especially in hot and humid weather, so it needed to be stored in a cool place and should be eaten as soon as possible after opening.

"Madams, a jar of this passion fruit jam costs one and a half silver. In addition to soaking in water, it can also be eaten with snacks. The taste is also very good. Madams, you can try it after you go back."

One or two halves is indeed not expensive for them. A thousand dollars can't buy happiness, right?
The ladies happily took out the money and brought back some snacks before leaving, ready to try it out as Shopkeeper Zhong said.

In less than half an hour, all twenty jars of passion fruit jam today were sold out.

And by the way, they also sold a lot more snacks. Shopkeeper Zhong saw that both the shelves with passion fruit jam and the shelves with snacks were all empty, and he sat there alone and laughed.

The next day, Song Chen still only supplied twenty cans. Shopkeeper Zhong actually wanted to get twice as much, but Song Chen was not there, so shopkeeper Zheng only received twenty cans.

Shopkeeper Zhong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Song Chen didn't know anything about these things. Even if shopkeeper Zhong came to their home, they would still only have twenty cans a day. What's more, shopkeeper Zhong didn't even know where her family lived.

With this business, she can earn more than ten taels of silver every day. In addition, Cang Xiuxuan came over last time and the news of her good doctor has spread throughout the village. She can start to sell her patent medicines with confidence and boldness. .

When Mrs. Song saw her tinkering with medicinal materials, she didn't bother her.

Song Chen and several women who helped cook went to the construction site carrying the cooled salt water. Song Chen insisted on putting salt in the water. In this season, he worked hard under the sun every day and sweated too much. More, add some salt appropriately to avoid heatstroke and dehydration.

But before a few people had even taken a few steps, the bucket in Song Wang's hand hit the ground with a thud, and the full bucket of water was instantly sucked into the soil.

Several women around her were also shocked, "Oh my God, something happened!"

At this moment, there was chaos on the construction site. Song Dashan and Song He dropped the tools in their hands and ran to the other side. Zhuang Boxong's usually calm face was full of solemnity.

"Xiaochen, come on, come on, something happened at the construction site." After Song Wang realized what she was doing, she turned around and ran back. She picked up Song Chen and ran towards the construction site.

Song Chen also heard the noise and ran over there without any delay.

The shouts and screams were very noisy, and the thick dust dispersed, only to see that the place where the wood had been neatly stacked was in a mess. The pile of wood, which was as high as one person, had all rolled to the ground in a mess.

At the bottom, there are two people working.

"Come here, a few people, and move the wood down first." As soon as Song Chen passed by, he quickly directed everyone to lift the wood away.

"Xiaochen, I don't care about Mu Mu for now, we have to save people first." Seeing that she didn't save people first, Song Dashan looked at her in surprise.

"We need to save people first, but if the wood above is not moved away first and the wood below is moved, the wood above loses its support and will roll down again, causing secondary damage to the people underneath, and even even Anyone who saves people may be injured!"

Song Chen explained and calmly ordered other workers to do their work.

Song Dashan glanced at the wood, and it was exactly what Song Chen said. The top wood seemed to be no threat now, but once the wood below was moved, the wood above would definitely fall to pieces.

These are pieces of wood intended to be used on beams, and smashing them down is no joke.

"Everyone, be careful, don't let yourself get hurt." Song Chen warned the other workers.

Seeing that everyone was doing what she said, she turned to Song Dashan and Song He, "Dad, hurry up and sell some high-alcohol wine and come back. Brother, go and invite Uncle Li Zheng."

Something happened on the construction site and someone was injured. It was not a trivial matter, so Li Zheng had to be there.

Both father and son went to do their assigned tasks, and the workers were also moving wood nervously and orderly. The panic at the beginning was gone, and everything was being done according to Song Chen's arrangements.

Song Chen looked thoughtfully at the messy wood falling on the ground.

These pieces of wood were cut down by her father from outside Jiuling Mountain. After they were brought back, her father and her brother laid them out one by one.

It has been a long time since the construction of the new house was started, and the piles of wood were piled there in a regular manner.

Why did something happen all of a sudden?
Song Chen frowned and walked around the place where the wood was originally placed, trying to find any clues.
