Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 111 Buying a Concubine
In this way, the meal was finally finished safely, the food and drink were withdrawn, and everyone chatted for a while, Mrs. Xu said: "I am getting old, and my back hurts from sitting for a long time, so I have to go first. "As he spoke, he got up and stopped Yu Shi, "Don't send it off, just stay with everyone."

Ning Wan smiled and said, "I'll take the old lady home." She said that she put on the cloak for Old Madam Xu, and she also put on a lying rabbit and helped her out.

Mrs. Xu supported Ning Wan, walked out of the door and said with a smile: "You child, you are really clever! I don't believe that your family doesn't have the same bowls and chopsticks!" If Mrs. Xiao Yang and everyone have everything Same, she had already left.

Ning Wan just laughed, "The one who came is a guest, and she has already sat on it. I can't pull her down again, I can only express our family's meaning in this way," and asked: "Old lady, Mrs. Yang is here?" Is it the same for others?"

"Everyone in the world praises the high and depresses the low. Now the Yang family is headed by Mrs. Yang, so many people treat her as the main family. Look at the Su family because the Yang family buys a lot of farm tools in his shop every year. Yes. Mrs. Xiao Yang is very affectionate," Mrs. Xu said with a smile, "But Mrs. Gu and I don't like it, and we never let Mrs. Yang visit."

"Today I also want to thank the old lady for giving our family face."

"You are afraid that if I get angry, I will walk away." Mrs. Xu patted Ning Wan's hand, "Mrs. Gu and I can't break up your family's banquet!"

Ning Wan has always liked to listen to Madam Xu's words, "Madam Xu, you are so wise and broad-minded!"

"When you reach my age, you will be wiser than me and have a bigger heart!"

Ning Wan just laughed, "I can't compare to the good old lady."

After sending the old lady home, when Ning Wan turned back, Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Su, and the two Mrs. Yang had already left, leaving only Granny Liu and Mrs. Li Zhang talking for a while before leaving. .As for the men's side, it didn't end until dark.

Father, of course, drank too much, and collapsed after seeing off the guests. Liu Wulang also went back to his room half drunk, and Yu Shi and his two daughters were very tired after cleaning up again, so they rested without mentioning it.

At breakfast the next day, Mrs. Yu told about Mrs. Yang, "I didn't think about it for a long time. Who in the three villages could afford a concubine? I don't know what to do."

Ning Qing said: "Wan'er brought different bowls and chopsticks to Mrs. Yang, I think Mrs. Yang's complexion is very ugly."

"But she still didn't say anything." Ning Wan put down the bowl and chopsticks. "I'm afraid she just wanted our family to recognize her identity, but it's not wrong for our family to do so."

"However, I heard Mrs. Su say that the Yang family is headed by Mrs. Yang, and our shop will open in the future. If Mrs. Yang is offended, the Yang family may not buy things in our house." Ning Qing is clever. People, she had already asked Mrs. Su clearly, so she said: "The Yang family has thousands of acres of land, and there are hundreds of tenant farmers."

Ning Wan said: "We treated each other with courtesy and did not offend her. If she thinks this is an offense, then there is nothing we can do about it. What's more, in the whole town of Ma Yi, there are still many housewives who are in charge of the house."

"Naturally," Ning Qing boasted that he was quite familiar with Mayi Town, "How many can afford concubines?"

Ning Wan turned around and asked, "Father, when our family becomes rich in the future, you won't raise a concubine?"

Ning Liang drank too much yesterday, and now his head still hurts. He only drank clear porridge, and didn't pay much attention to what the women were saying. Ning Wan asked "Huh?", and then he understood, and immediately choked. After taking a mouthful of porridge, he coughed for a while before saying, "What concubine! How can our family have money to buy it!"

"I mean if you have money?"

"I don't want to buy that either." Ning Liang looked at Yu Shi who was patting his back and said, "Your mother and I still have to save a dowry for you, and we will marry Shitou a wife in the future, where is the spare money?"

Mrs. Yu also nodded, "If you are really rich, why don't you buy some good land that can grow wheat!"

"That's right," Ning Liang agreed, "Land like that in Lishu Village costs ten taels of silver per mu. If we can buy hundreds or even thousands of mu of land, then our family will not have to worry about food and clothing."

After hearing this, Ning Wan asked Liu Wulang again, "Second brother-in-law, how about you?"

Liu Wulang didn't expect his sister-in-law to ask him, but he was not as surprised as his father-in-law, put down the bowl and said, "Of course I won't either."

Ning Qing hummed from the side: "He dares!"

Of course he dared. Ning Wan's original intention was not to ask her father but her second brother-in-law, because in her dream Ning Qing and Liu Wulang made a fortune in the mountain goods business, and then Liu Wulang had an evil heart, first stealing people outside, Later, he publicly bought a concubine; and Ning Qing was naturally unwilling to quarrel with him, and found himself hoping to use the power of the Zhao family to suppress Liu Wulang.Later, the two of them didn't have the heart to do business well, and they were greedy for petty gain, and they often shoddy the second-best, and the family business was lost within a few years.

Now the mountain goods business is started by the Ning family, and Liu Wulang is just helping the family, not even getting a share, but just earning some wages, so he can't make a fortune anyway.And Ning Qing was stronger than before because of her natal family, so Ning Wan believed it.

The Ning family moved, invited acquaintances from the town, and then busily opened their doors.

The family moved to Mayi Town, and they have been spending money since buying a shop, but no money has been recorded.Yu's heart was already anxious, "What's the point of sitting and eating like this, this shop should be opened earlier."

Ning Wan knew her mother's urgency. After all, the expenses in the town were unmatched by Sanjia Village. Almost everything cost money.Yu, who is used to living in Sanjia Village, where almost everything is self-sufficient, always takes a while to adapt.

It's all because the Ning family is moving faster, and mother is like this.But Ning Wan knew that all of this was imperative, and the sooner the better.Only by opening a shop in Mayi Town earlier, can we hold all the mountain goods business in the town in advance and earn more money.After all, sooner or later someone will see the Ning family's method of collecting mountain goods, and then they will imitate them. At that time, it will be more difficult to compete for the source of goods and deliver goods than it is now.Only by making it bigger earlier can others not compete.

Knowing that there will be many difficulties, Ning Wan is confident, and comforts her parents with a smile: "We have to choose an auspicious day for opening, and we have to prepare a lot of things. I know what to do, everyone just listen to me."

The second quarter of the morning on the 22nd of the first lunar month was an auspicious time, and a black-ground gold plaque with the three characters Dejufeng written on it was hung up in red silk.

Everyone is willing to come and visit the newly opened shop. Ning’s store has mostly wild products on the shelves, such as mushrooms, Hericium erinaceus, fungus, cat’s claw vegetables, walnuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts, etc. Dried vegetables, woven curtains, wicker baskets, etc. also occupy a place, and in a corner of the room, there are mung beans, red beans, yellow rice, sorghum and other grains from the Ning family's field,

Mrs. Xu came over with her mother-in-law, walked around the shop, picked out a few bunches of mushrooms, a pound of fungus and a few handfuls of dried vegetables, and said to Ning Wan with a smile: "There are no fresh vegetables this season, buy some Dried vegetables are better than nothing."

Ning Wan also laughed, "Liaodong is like this, but this dried vegetable is also quite delicious. I especially like stewed pork with dried beans, and dried pumpkin is also delicious."

Mrs. Xu nodded and smiled, "Then I'll try it at home."

Ning Wan sent it out, and took two curtains for the woman to take with her, "This is made by our family. It's opening today. Anyone who buys vegetables will give one away, and the old lady will give two here."

Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Liu and others came to join in, and Ning Wan gave an extra curtain.

In a blink of an eye, Mrs. Li Zhang came with a little girl. After picking out a few items for a while, she handed the money to Mrs. Yu with a smile, "The things in your house are not bad."

Yu took the money and said with a smile: "Everything is carefully selected."

Ning Wan listened to their chatting and laughing, and when the wife of the headmaster left, she not only gave an extra curtain, but also quietly took half of the money and stuffed it back into her hand. Seeing that the wife of the headmaster took it away, she felt relieved.

There is no government office in Mayi Town, and many things are handled by the village head.Ning Wan has been in the Zhao family for many years, and she has long understood that the so-called county magistrate is not as good as the current one, and the village chief's family needs to get along well.It’s not easy to earn money from the Li Chang’s family, but if they don’t collect money at all, it will be a bottomless pit, and they don’t know when it will be filled, and their own business can’t afford to lose money. Sending half of it back not only shows their sincerity, but also It won't be a loss of capital.

This first meeting is actually the most important, and the family will follow this rule when the wife of the head of the village comes again.

After all, it was the first day of opening, and there was a gift curtain, so many people came. The members of the Ning family were all busy, and they were all very tired. On the second day, there were fewer people, and after a few more days, It has become the norm.At this time, the family members are also more proficient, and one person in the shop can support it, and it is enough to add another person when busy.

Ning Liang and Yu Shi were both a little worried, "This business has gone to pay taxes, and there is nothing left."

Sure enough, the shop does not make money, and Ning Wan already knew, "We are opening the shop now, it is the off-season, but it is just a chance for everyone to practice, so that when all kinds of fresh goods come out, we won't be in a hurry."

"As far as our family sells these things, why don't many people come to buy them? It's not like they are in a hurry."

Parents even realized that the business of the shop cannot rely solely on the people in the town. After all, Ma Yi Town is a small town with only a few hundred households, how many mountain goods can they buy?Ning Wan smiled, "Actually, our family opened a shop in the town, and the more important thing is to collect mountain goods. So this year, our most important thing is to collect mountain goods from the villages below the town."

"At that time, everyone will know what it means to be really busy, and I'm afraid we need to hire a buddy!"
