Farmer's happy event

Chapter 21
"It really is him!" Lianzi shouted in her heart, put down the tea bowl in her hand heavily, and stood up.

Lianzi saw him, and Young Master Pink naturally also saw Lianzi, and immediately forgot what he said just now, his eyes widened like a fighting cock: "It's you!"

Immediately he laughed maliciously, and said: "Okay, Zhengchou couldn't find you, so I sent it to my door!" He rolled up his sleeves and was about to pounce on Lianzi.

"Zihe, don't be rude!" Shopkeeper Zhang shouted.

This pink young master is the only son of shopkeeper Zhang, and his first wife, the Qi family, has never had anything to do. Later, in order to continue the incense, he successively accepted three concubines for shopkeeper Zhang. Aunt Zhou, the concubine, gave birth to such a son and named him Zhang Zihe. Naturally, the family is very precious, so he has developed such a tricky and willful character.

Although Zhang Zihe was spoiled, but once his father became strict, he would be afraid, so he pouted his mouth immediately, pointed at Lianzi, and said in disbelief, "Father, she is the girl who broke my head that day!"

"Shopkeeper Zhang, Lianzi was just impatient about what happened that day," Yang hurriedly got up and said, but she didn't admit that it was Lianzi's fault, "Accidentally hurt your young master."

Shopkeeper Zhang's face softened, he laughed and said, "It's the dog who is being rude."

Shopkeeper Zhang is very clear about his son's virtues.Besides, the little girl in front of him just brought him such a big profit, if she gave up because of her son's willfulness, unless he is a fool.

Shopkeeper Zhang stood up as he spoke, and cupped his hands at Lianzi, who was also full of anger: "Girl, I will accompany you for him, please ignore him." He understood that although this little girl is just a child, she is the real one. Can decide things.

Zhang Zihe saw that his father not only didn't help him vent his anger, but wanted to please the girl, he was immediately upset: "Father!", he yelled dissatisfied.

"Hurry up and go out, pack up and go back to school!" Shopkeeper Zhang sternly shouted.

Zhang Zihe had no choice but to snort heavily at Lianzi, then turned and walked out.

"Hehe, don't care about him, let's continue." Shopkeeper Zhang stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please sit down.

The shopkeeper of this piece is really good at doing business, and Lianzi couldn't help but praise him again in her heart.As for that pink Zhang Zihe, let him go to hell!A half-sized boy actually wears pink, he is either a pervert or a psychopath!
"Niece Lianzi, what did you say just now?" Shopkeeper Zhang asked with a slight smile.

Lianzi came back to her senses, and then remembered that she was about to talk to shopkeeper Zhang about increasing varieties, and it was all because of that dead pink.

"That's right," Lianzi said, "I saw that you only have nuts such as chestnuts, peanuts, sunflower seeds and walnuts in your store. Have you not considered adding other varieties?"

Shopkeeper Zhang frowned when he heard the words: "This shop was started by my father, and it is only thanks to the secret recipe handed down from the ancestors that it has reached its current state. We sell roasted seeds and nuts, and other items may not be suitable. If you want to rashly launch new ones , It’s really a risk to take.”

"So that's what he was worried about." Lianzi thought about it, and then said, "Master Zhang, think about it, while you are making new varieties, you will still make the original varieties. Even if the new varieties are not good, That doesn’t have much effect on the previous work, does it? At most, we’ll lose some money, but then again, we haven’t done it yet, so how do we know we’ll lose money?”

Shopkeeper Zhang continued: "It's not that I haven't thought about this before, but if new products are introduced, it will definitely have some impact on the original business, and I'm afraid that it will never recover from it." His face is full of worries. It's better not to try too easily.

Lianzi smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this at all, just listen to my advice first." She was still very confident in her own ideas.

"First of all, let's talk about varieties. In addition to nuts, we can try other varieties, such as red dates, apples, longans, apricots, and plums."

"Wait." Before Lianzi could finish speaking, Zhang Zhang interrupted, "Longan and red dates are fine. The apples and apricots are not easy to store, they will rot within a few days."

Seeing that he misunderstood what she meant, Lian Zi quickly explained with a smile: "It's not what you think, what we sell is not fresh fruit, but preserved fruit."

"Preserved fruit?" Shopkeeper Zhang was puzzled.

"It is to remove the water in the fresh fruit, leaving only the pulp," Lianzi continued to explain.

Shopkeeper Zhang frowned and thought: "Dried?"

Lianzi smiled, and quickly waved her hands: "No, no, if you dry it in the sun, it will rot, use steamed."

"How to steam?" Zhang shopkeeper asked, seeing that Lianzi just smiled and said nothing, he understood what she meant, and then asked, "What is the price?"

Talking about this much-anticipated topic again, Lianzi's family was all in high spirits.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, can you see if this works? If you buy fruit and I take it home and make it, it will be very troublesome. Anyway, our place is close to the orchard, otherwise I will just make it and send it to you. .The price is fifty cents a catty."

This price is not low, but considering the production cost and shopkeeper Zhang's customer base, it is still reasonable.

"So expensive?" Shopkeeper Zhang asked back, how much is a catty of fresh fruit?
Lianzi said calmly, "It's a lot of trouble to dry fresh fruit. Besides, the taste of dried fruit is different from fresh fruit, and it can be stored for a long time. If you put a lot of effort into packaging, you won't have to worry about it." People buy."

Shopkeeper Zhang Nianxu thought for a moment, took a sip of tea slowly, and said, "How long will it take?"

"If you buy it and steam it, it will take three days." Lianzi frowned, "It's just that there are not many fruits in the cold winter season, why don't I make a few catties of preserved apples first, and you can sell them first, if you can If so, let’s do more in spring.”

There are no fruits in winter. Only in autumn, when apples are harvested and put in the cellar, there will be fruits to eat in winter.Therefore, the price is also more expensive.

Shopkeeper Zhang agreed to Lianzi's proposal, and there was no longer any objection to the price.With the experience of last time, he will definitely not just regard Lianzi as a little girl who doesn't know much about the world now.

After negotiating another business, Lianzi suddenly felt a heavy burden on her shoulders.But that was after the spring, and there is no good way now, so I can only earn some money by selling medicinal materials first.

I arrived late today, and it was time for the Chinese New Year, so shopkeeper Zhang left Lianzi's family to have a meal.The lunch was very rich, including chicken and fish. Lianzi swore that this was definitely the best meal she had ever had since coming here.

Zhang Zihe had already gone to school, so he didn't hang out in front of Lianzi, so he had a good time.

It was getting late after dinner, Liu Jingren untied the car, Mrs. Yang and Lianzi got into the car, then bid farewell to shopkeeper Zhang, and walked out of the city.

Lianzi is also not sure about making preserved fruits.Although she knows how to make it, she has never done it herself.In this case, it must be tested first.But their family has no money now, and it is very difficult to buy expensive apples.

"Father," Lianzi called Liu Jingren, "When shall we separate?"

Although Liu Jingren is honest and obedient to Shen's orders, Lianzi knows that if they really want to separate, the final decision is still in Liu Jingren's hands.

"Yeah, hurry up and go out and go alone, or you will be dragged to death sooner or later!" Before Liu Jingren could answer, Yang said, "We two have hands and feet, we can't make money for whatever we do, no matter how bad we are, earn money." A ration is still fine. Besides, our daughter is so smart and capable, why don't you worry about living a good life?"

Liu Jingren smiled honestly, swung the whip in his hand on the old scalper again, and said in a deep voice, "Isn't it a good life? What's the point?"

"Divided! Must be divided!" Yang was angry, and after yelling at him, he ignored him.

Separation is a certainty, as Father Liu and Mrs. Shen also said last time, this matter will be discussed in the spring.Although Lianzi knew that this was just an excuse, how could it be so easy to take back what she said?The plan for now is to make money, make a lot of money, so that the future will not be difficult.

After returning home, the family had already finished dinner, Yang went to the stove to heat up the meal, Lianzi went back to the house, Liu Jingren unloaded the cart and tied the cattle, and went to Liu Jinglin's house with the money.

"Jing Lin, this is the money for this time, please keep it." Liu Jingren put the coins wrapped in layers of cloth into Liu Jinglin's hand.

Every time Liu Jinglin got the money, he would hand it over to Shen. This time unexpectedly, he withdrew his hand and said, "Second brother, it's not easy for you and your second sister-in-law to deliver goods every day. With this money, you Take it, and go to the town to buy some food for the children. I can't buy it myself, so I can only give you some money."

"This, this", Liu Jingren was suddenly speechless, Liu Jinglin's eyes were inconvenient, but his mouth was inconvenient.

Liu Jinglin smiled slightly, and the corners of his lips curled up in a graceful arc: "Take it, Lianzi is a good boy, don't be wronged."

Liu Jingren really didn't know what to say, so he just nodded and said, "Okay, the second brother will accept it."

The two brothers said a few more words, and Liu Jingren left Liu Jinglin's house.

He weighed the money given by Liu Jinglin in his hand, feeling a little uncomfortable.The money has been on him all day, and now it belongs to him, but he always feels that something is wrong.

Regardless of these, Liu Jingren was just about to put the money back into his bosom when he suddenly heard a thud, looked up and saw that it was wheat, and he was holding an empty basin in his hand.

Maizi was only wearing a homely and half-worn cotton jacket, and his face was sober at this time, without the usual attire.Seeing Liu Jingren, he didn't even call his second uncle, but turned around and entered his house with a strange expression on his face.

Liu Jingren didn't pay much attention, and also went back to his room.
