Travel through the farmhouse leisurely

Chapter 244
Shopkeeper Zhou lightly clasped the table with his fingers, and when he heard what Lin Xiaoqiao said, he withdrew his arm on the table and said, "Okay, that's it, I want your dried plums, let's order first." How about a three-year contract?"

"However, girl, uncle didn't bargain with you, so you have to promise me one condition." Shopkeeper Zhou said again.

"What conditions?" Lin Xiaoqiao knew that shopkeeper Zhou, an old fox, would not agree to such a price so easily.

"Your plum dried vegetables can only be sold to my Yunlai restaurant, and other restaurants and shops are not allowed. Even your own shop, you can only sell it one month after each sale to our restaurant. Said, 'Sauce meat with preserved vegetables'." Shopkeeper Zhou said solemnly.

Lin Xiaoqiao thought for a while, then nodded, and agreed, "Sure, no problem! But our contract has to be signed for five years."

Shopkeeper Zhou knew that this girl was unwilling to suffer, so he agreed, and after the two settled, they began to sign the contract.

Lin Xiaoqiao carefully read the content written on the contract, and after confirming that there was no problem, he pressed his fingerprint.

After a stick of incense, when Lin Xiaoqiao came out of Yunlai Restaurant, he had already carried 200 taels of silver in his arms. The 2000 taels were for selling dried plums, and the other 200 taels were for selling the 'plum dish'. Caikourou's dish recipe's silver.

Lin Xiaoqiao didn't expect that shopkeeper Zhou offered such a high price for buying vegetables this time. At first, she only thought that 100 taels would be enough, but from the high price of 200 taels, it can be seen that shopkeeper Zhou will How much money did you make with this dish?

Because it wasn't the first time they had done business with each other, shopkeeper Zhou felt at ease and gave Lin Xiaoqiao all the payment in advance. However, when she went back, shopkeeper Zhou sent someone from the restaurant to take her back.

These were not only for sending her off, but also following her home to pick up goods. Lin Xiaoqiao took them to the Lin family's house in Shanglin Village, and let them have more than 2000 catties of dried plums in the warehouse at home. pulled away.

Later, Lin Xiaoqiao handed over the 2000 taels of silver to Mrs. Li, and she didn't tell Mrs. Li about the other 200 taels of silver, but hid it by herself, for a thing she was going to do in the future saved.

Several heavy snowfalls in succession, the weather is getting colder, the days have entered the twelfth lunar month, and the taste of the year is gradually spreading.

Lin Xiaoqiao opened the door every day, and saw a lot more people coming and going on the street than before.

The closer to the end of the year, the better the shop's business, and there will be more new customers every day, presumably they are here to taste the taste.

Therefore, the original people in the shop couldn't keep busy at all, and the two sisters Lin Xiaoqiao couldn't be free, helping out in the shop all day long.

Everyone was busy, until the shop closed on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month. Mrs. Li distributed the New Year's benefits to the guys, paid the wages that should be paid, and paid all the bonuses that should be paid. Everyone They all went home beaming to prepare for the New Year.

After everything in the store was settled, Mrs. Li took Widow Zheng and sister Lin Xiaoqiao to go shopping and buy new year's goods.

After buying all the things that should be bought, Lin Xiaoqiao's family and Widow Zheng went back to the village to celebrate the New Year.

There are only a few days left before the Chinese New Year, Mrs. Li and Widow Zheng began to work on various matters related to the Chinese New Year, and they kept their feet on the ground.

On the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, Chen Xuewen rushed back from the provincial capital with all his travels and dust all over him, and now his relatives were reunited.

On New Year's Eve, Lin Xiaoqiao's family still had a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner with Chen Xuewen's mother and son, and celebrated the New Year together.

On the morning of the first day of the new year, Lin Xiaoqiao reluctantly got out of bed amidst the sound of crackling firecrackers.

After breakfast, the two sisters, dressed in red silk padded jackets and full of joy, followed Lin Erniu and his wife for a walk around the village.

Fortunately, the old couple in the old house didn't make a fuss this year. Mrs. Liu seemed to have become more sober and knew people, but she also seemed to be more settled, not as before, so A domineering look.

In addition, during the Chinese New Year this year, Lin Xiaoqiao clearly felt that the attitude of these people in the village towards their family was more warm and polite.

After walking around the village in the morning, after paying New Year's greetings, Mrs. Li made lunch and made a pot of the leftover dumplings from last night for everyone to eat. After eating, she was ready to leave for grandma's house.

Unexpectedly, just after Lin Xiaoqiao and the others finished their lunch and put down their chopsticks, their little uncle Li Erhu came to the door.

When Li opened the door and saw that her own brother had come by at this time, she also felt very puzzled, but it was freezing outside, so she could only welcome him in first and then ask other questions.

"Little uncle, happy new year." Seeing Li Erhu stepping into the house, Lin Xiaoqiao immediately rushed forward with a smile and reached out to ask for a red envelope.

Li Erhu slapped the snowflakes on his clothes, was caught off guard by Lin Xiaoqiao's pounce, and almost fell backwards, he took a few steps back to stabilize his body.

This scene happened to be seen by Mrs. Li who followed Li Erhu into the door. Mrs. Li hurriedly blamed and said, "You girl, why are you still so reckless? After the new year, you are also a ten-year-old girl, don't worry." Be so reckless again!"

Lin Xiaoqiao didn't listen to her own mother's words at all. As soon as Li's words fell, she stuck out her tongue, pulled Li Erhu's arm, and said coquettishly: "Little uncle, I wish you an early birth!" Takako, you are so happy, hurry up and get the red envelope!" After speaking, she stretched out her two little hands.

Hearing what his niece said, Li Erhu thought of the purpose of his hasty visit this time, and quickly turned to Mrs. Li and said, "Eldest sister, I——I— have my daughter-in-law."

"What? Say it again, who has it?" After hearing this, Mrs. Li became agitated immediately, and hurriedly grabbed her little brother and asked again.

The others were also very happy after hearing Li Erhu's words, and the four Lin Xiaoqiao brothers and sisters were even more joyful to go around for their little uncle.

"Oh—I'm going to have a little cousin soon." Erlang danced happily.

"Little uncle, I just said I wish you an early baby, now your wish has been fulfilled, hurry up and get the red envelope!" Lin Xiaoqiao was happy, but still did not forget her red envelope.

Li Erhu looked at his nephew and niece circling around him, and felt a little embarrassed and embarrassed.
