Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 579

Li Erlang and Jiang Shi went to work on their own, and Li Xin planned to take a stroll around the town and buy some good cloth to go back.At Yang'er's age, it's time to spend on clothes, and Li Xin also likes to see little kids wearing new clothes. Now that she's free, she can make some more clothes for Yang'er and some for Guan Wen Decent, let him wear it when he goes out to run business.

It didn't make sense for the two long-term workers to follow her, so Li Xin asked them to stay with Li Erlang to help and listen to Li Erlang's orders.

After all, the things in the town are much richer than those picked and sold by the peddlers in the village. There are all kinds of food and clothing, and the peddlers touting business enthusiastically invite passers-by to have a look. one look.

Li Xin was in a relaxed mood, and the money bag was in her sleeve. She brought more than five taels of silver this time, which was enough for her own expenses.

I went to the cloth shop and carefully selected several kinds of cloth, including quilted ones, thick cotton ones, and smooth and high-grade silk cloth. I rolled a few bundles and held them in my arms. It cost a total of more than two taels. silver.

In the past, it would definitely be sold out.

The owner of Li Xintuobu's shop helped to deliver it to Guan Wen's fur shop, and continued to stroll around the market, bought some rock sugar and flour, and still asked the staff to deliver it to the fur shop.

After walking around for a while, Li Xin tasted various street snacks with great interest and indulged himself like a child.

By the time she reached the fur shop, her stomach was already full.

Guan Wen was checking the account books on the counter, when he heard the clerk calling him, he hurriedly looked up and saw Li Xin's appearance, he immediately burst out laughing.

"How much did you eat? Everything is thrown towards me." Guan Wen walked out, helping Li Xin to walk into the shop.

Li Xin was very embarrassed, and said softly: "Help me what to do, I'm not seven or eighty..."

Guan Wen sullenly stared at her pretending to be serious, but there was a smile in his eyes: "Look at you, you look like you are in your seventies and eighties, you are so old, and you still don't have a restraint on eating. "

Li Xin rubbed his stomach, chuckled twice and said, "I have a good appetite recently, and everything tastes delicious."

Guan Wen and Li Xin went to the back room, and Li Xin looked through the things he bought one by one, checking to see if any of them had been cheated by the store.

Seeing her stingy appearance, Guan Wen laughed again: "If you can't trust her, then you can bring the things back by yourself. If you ask them to bring them to you, you will worry that they will be short of money."

Li Xin snorted softly, "I just want to see if the business in these stores is honest or not. If it's honest, I'll go back down there. If it's not, I won't patronize it in the future."

Li Xin put down the cloth in his hand, put his arms around Guan Wen's neck and squinted and said, "We don't need that little money now."

"Look at you, you don't look like a spendthrift."

Guan Wen laughed, walked to Li Xin to help her pack things, and said, "I have to take all of these back? What are you buying so much cloth for?"

"I'll make clothes for you and Yang'er." Li Xin said as a matter of course: "The weather is getting cold now, and winter is coming soon, and Yang'er is one year older and taller, and I think his trousers are a bit short gone."

Li Xin took out a good quilted cotton cloth, looked at Guan Wen's shoulder, and said, "Is this material good for making clothes for you?"

There was a smile in Guan Wen's eyes, and he put his arms around her waist: "Just say yes."

Li Xin hurriedly broke away, reached out and patted his hand: "It's broad daylight, what are you doing?"

Guan Wen just laughed, and sat aside to watch Li Xin pack her things, listening to her babbling also felt a kind of happiness.

The two were talking and listening to each other in the room, but suddenly there was a slight knock on the door, maybe they heard the two in the room talking, and the people outside the door were not very scrupulous, and shouted: "Master, someone is looking for you!" .”

Li Xin hurriedly dropped her things and opened the door. Outside the door was a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old. Seeing Li Xin, he smiled sarcastically and called "Mrs. Dongjia".

"Someone is looking for you, hurry up."

Li Xin nodded, turned around and said to Guan Wen.

Guan Wen frowned and asked, "Who is looking for me?"

"This..." The boy looked at Li Xin with some hesitation, and then said after a pause, "It's that Sister-in-law Gu..."

Before Li Xin understood who this sister-in-law was, Guan Wen said coldly: "You took her benefits? Didn't I say that in the future, if she comes to take care of business, you just need to accept her. Find me do what?"

Li Xin suddenly realized that this "Sister-in-law Gu" should be Gu Haitang.

At the moment Li Xin didn't know whether he should be annoyed or should laugh. Seeing the young man hunched over while going out, looking at Guan Wen's darkened face, he said with a half-smile: "Ah Wen , your luck is very good."

Guan Wen stood up with a stern face and closed the door. He turned around and sat on the bed and squinted at Li Xin: "What month is it? The peach blossoms have already failed to bloom, and all the fruits have been eaten up by people."

Li Xin burst out laughing suddenly, and Guan Wen said: "Opening the door for business requires people to come in, and it's too late for me to hide. If I didn't know that you would come over to help Erlang, I wouldn't be here. wait."

"Then where do you usually go?" Li Xin asked curiously.

Guan Wen said: "Walking around, contacting several big merchants, and doing business." Guan Wen sighed and said: "Sitting in the shop every day can't make money."

Guan Wen's business in the fur shop in the town was rarely involved in Li Xin's business, but after thinking about it, he also knew that it was not easy for Guan Wen to do this kind of business.To slowly accumulate contacts, contact sources of goods and customers, he must take care of both internal control and external arrangements.

In the past, Guan Wen asked Li Xin to help out in the shop, but she refused without even thinking about it.Thinking about it now, Li Xin also felt that he was wrong for not thinking more about Guan Wen.

Li Xin stepped forward to hug him, murmured for a moment and then said: "Ah Wen... If you want me to come to town to help you share..."

Guan Wen smiled and said: "I know you like to live a leisurely life in the village. It's okay. Now I seldom stay in the shop, and I can't stay with you all day when you come. The business is on the right track, and everything is fine. There are examples to follow, and it is much simpler than before.”

Li Xin touched Guan Wen's ears and hugged his head in his arms. The two of them had a moment of tenderness before Li Xin left Guan Wen and packed up his things.

"Let's go back early tonight." Li Xin said, "Have you checked the accounts in the shop yet?"

Guan Wen said: "It's still not close, just wait for me for a while."

Guan Wen and Li Xin went to the front shop, and as soon as they lifted the curtain and entered through the back door, Guan Wen stopped walking.

Li Xin looked up, who was the person sitting beside the counter, Gu Haitang?
Gu Haitang stood up and looked at Guan Wen with a smile, and nodded "friendly" when he saw Li Xin, but he didn't pay attention to Li Xin, and just said to Guan Wen: "Brother Guan, you came out? "

Li Xin folded his arms in his arms, and tilted his head slightly to look at Gu Haitang.

Just like the rumors in the village, Gu Haitang's ability to work as a maid in Shen's residence, and even to be a second-class maid, does have some advantages for her.After getting married, Gu Haitang has the charming charm unique to a woman, and her gestures are full of charm.In addition, she lived a good life, she used to eat well and dress well in Shen's residence, and after she got married, she was domineering in her in-law's house, her fair complexion and beauty can't be compared.

In Li Xin's eyes, what she said and what she did seemed a little seductive.

With a cold face, Guan Wen said forcefully, "My sister-in-law wants to buy leather goods, and there is someone in the shop who recommends them specifically for my sister-in-law."

The implication is: It is useless for you to find me, I am not responsible for entertaining you.

Gu Haitang was not annoyed, she was blessed, and pretended to be a rich lady, saying, "I heard that Brother Guan recently made a deal, and my younger sister came here to congratulate Brother Guan."

As he spoke, he reached for the basket placed on the counter, and Li Xin saw sharply that she was still holding a handkerchief in her right hand.

Li Xin couldn't help but chuckled, feeling that Gu Haitang had a funny way of saying "painting a tiger doesn't make you an anti-dog".

Even if she is a real lady, she will not pretend to hold a handkerchief at any time to pretend to be hypocritical.

Guan Wen was noncommittal, ignored her, and went to the clerk in the shop to explain the matter.

Gu Haitang couldn't hold back anymore.

She looked at Li Xin, saw that Li Xin was also looking at her, raised the corners of her mouth again, walked towards Li Xin gracefully, put the basket in front of Li Xin, and said softly: "Sister Li, help Big Brother Guan take this. He's out and about all day, so he must have had a lot of shoes. I've made these two pairs for days, and the soles are thick, so they'll be very comfortable."

Li Xin glanced at Gu Haitang's basket on the side, it was covered with a cloth, and a corner was faintly exposed, it was definitely a shoe.

Guan Wen walked over to embrace Li Xin, and said to Gu Haitang with restraint: "Sister-in-law, as I said last time, I don't lack shoes..."

There are two meanings revealed in these words, one is that Gu Haitang has already come to deliver the shoes; the other is that Guan Wen has already refused.

Li Xin was quite satisfied, and reached out to pat Guan Wen's shoulder, knowing that the shop assistants were all watching him. If he didn't show some attitude, they might think he was a soft persimmon to be manipulated by others.

When I was in the shop, there were shop assistants who dared to come to Guan Wen blatantly, saying that Gu Haitang came to him.I really don't take myself seriously.

The bullying has come to her, if she backs down, isn't she too cowardly?

Li Xin lifted the basket, lifted the cloth on it, and slipped out two pairs of shoes.

Gu Haitang looked at her excitedly.

What, thought she was going to throw out the shoes she had worked so hard to make?Let everyone say that Li Xin is a shrew, and then sympathize with her Gu Haitang?
She is not that stupid.

Li Xin put the shoes aside, raised the basket and said, "Cen Hao!"

Cen Hao is Cen Dumb, who has been by Guan Quan's side since he first came to the town to work hard.After Guan Quan helped Guan Wen, Cen Dumb also came here to work and get paid.He couldn't speak, but he was reliable and caring, so Guan Wen kept him.

Cen Hao hurriedly walked up to Li Xin, ahh, looked at Li Xin and waited for her order.

Li Xin smiled, handed him the basket, and said in a crisp voice: "I can't do such a thing as receiving a gift from my sister-in-law for nothing. Anyway, I want to save face. A pair of shoes sells for about a dozen yuan in the store." Money, I don’t want to lose my sister-in-law, two pairs of shoes will be worth [-] Wen to my sister-in-law, please don’t dislike me, sister-in-law.”
