Chapter 137 Another share?

As soon as Tong Zhide returned home, he immediately told Tong Zhixin and others the news that Lao Guo and Lao Xu agreed to sell peanuts.

There was no steelyard for big business at home, so Tong Zhixin asked Tong Zhi'er to get the money, and went to the county to buy a pole, which could weigh two hundred catties at most. Go to the place where the rope is threaded in front, carry it on your shoulders, and lift the thing up before you can weigh it.

The next morning, Tong Zhixin pushed the trolley with the newly bought steelyard on it, followed by Tong Zhi'er, Tong Zhu'er, and Tong Zhide, and the four went to Lao Guo and Lao Xu's house.

The old Guo family and the old Xu family have already packed up, just waiting for them to come over today.

When they arrived at Lao Guo's house, Tong Zhixin greeted Lao Guo and the others, and then began to weigh the peanuts.

A bag of peanuts weighs about a hundred catties. Tong Zhixin and Lao Guo put the wooden stick on their shoulders through the lifting rope to lift the peanuts. Write it down, and Tong Zhu'er on the side will report the number there.

Lao Guo’s house had a total of ten bags of peanuts. After weighing them, Tong Zhi’er did the math, and the total was 560 three catties, and he had to give Lao Guo 46 taels and 890 Wen.

"Uncle Guo, here..."

Tong Zhi'er counted the silver and handed it to Lao Guo.

After receiving money in his hand, Lao Guo was still a little unreal.

"Huh? Dad, why are our peanuts sold so early?"

The one who spoke was Guozi, the youngest son of Lao Guo, who had come back from playing outside.When the family was busy yesterday, he was still outside and didn't know what was going on at home.

Tong Zhi'er turned her head and smiled at him.

Looking at Tong Zhi'er's little face with red lips and white teeth, Guo Zi's face felt inexplicably ashamed.

Old Guo's daughter-in-law called the pot over and told him not to block other people's work.

Lao Guo, Lao Guo's eldest son and Tong Zhixin carried ten packs of peanuts on the cart.After leaving Lao Guo's house, Tong Zhixin pushed the cart back home, Tong Zhi'er and others went to Lao Xu's house, and Lao Guo followed a few people there.

This time, it was Lao Guo and Lao Xu who carried the scales, and Tong Zhier was still the one who kept the balance.

The old Xu's house had a total of 980 and five catties. Tong Zhi'er counted 59 taels and gave him 550 Wen, and then waited for Tong Zhixin to push the cart over at Lao Xu's house.

Old Xu's daughter-in-law poured water for several people, with a smile from ear to ear.

Tong Zhixin accepted their peanuts, they are really worth it.

If you wait for the peanut dealer to come over, you will lose more than a dozen taels of silver.

Old Xu looked at Tong Zhi'er with some embarrassment, "It's a disadvantage for your family."

Tong Zhi'er smiled, "It's okay, Uncle Xu."

"Zhi'er, when your family's shop in the county opens, we will definitely come over to support you." Old Xu said again.

Tong Zhi'er smiled brightly, "Then thank you Uncle Xu, my shop will open on the fifteenth day, and you and Aunt Xu must come over by then."

Talking and laughing, Tong Zhixin has already pushed the cart to Lao Xu's house.

Lao Guo, Lao Xu, Tong Zhixin, Lao Xu's son, and Lao Guo's eldest son carried the peanuts on the cart and put them away.Because the way back was not smooth, and the peanuts in Lao Xu’s house were heavier, the cart was piled high, so Lao Guo and Lao Xu followed the cart to help push the cart until they reached the courtyard of Tong Zhixin’s house. Just left without even drinking a sip of water.

……

One day later, someone visited Lao Guo's house and found that the peanuts piled up in the main room were gone, so he asked curiously what happened.Immediately, Lao Guo told about Tong Zhixin's family coming to collect peanuts.

The man was very happy, and hurried to Tong Zhixin's house, and asked them if they wanted to accept peanuts.Tong Zhixin said that his family had no money to accept other peanuts.

The man left very frustrated, and it didn't take long for Tong Zhixin's family to accept the peanuts from Lao Guo and Lao Xu's family, and the news that they were going to do business in the county spread throughout the village.

For several days, people from the village came to Tong Zhixin's house every now and then to congratulate him and ask when the store would open.

Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei warmly entertained everyone and told them the time.

The matter also spread to Tong's old house, and the old lady kept a cold face and said nothing.However, the Miss Wang family was very curious and asked Tong Zhaojin, "This Tong Zhixin has the same surname as yours, does it have anything to do with yours?"

"Oh, that's my fourth uncle, but he separated from the old house."

Miss Wang's family thought for a while, and said, "Since it's your fourth uncle, and his family runs a shop, it shouldn't be a problem for you to be a steward."

This reminded Tong Zhaojin.

"Then, I'll try."

"Yes," Miss Wang encouraged him with a nod.

……

The night before the store opened, Tong Zhi'er and others were preparing boiled peanuts for tomorrow's opening in the back of the kitchen, but there was an unexpected visitor at the front.

Hearing someone knocking on the door, Tong Zhixin came out of the kitchen and opened the door.

"Fourth uncle."

Tong Zhaojin almost shouted with a flattering smile.

Tong Zhixin reacted very coldly, moved away, "Sit down."

After Tong Zhaojin sat down, Tong Zhixin didn't say a word, and weaved bamboo baskets with bamboo strips.This made it difficult for Tong Zhaojin.Before he came, he thought about it, if Tong Zhixin asked him what he wanted to do, he would go along with the flow, talk about Tong Zhixin's new shop, and then mention that he would be the manager of his shop, and the money would not be too much, so it would be a matter of course .

Unexpectedly, Tong Zhixin was very indifferent to him.

We can't go on like this, Tong Zhaojin thought.Since fourth uncle didn't speak, let him do so himself.

"Fourth Uncle, I heard that your shop in the county will open tomorrow."

"En," Tong Zhixin didn't lift his eyelids, and the thin bamboo strips slowly piled up on the bamboo basket with his fingers. "

Tong Zhaojin continued: "Fourth Uncle, there is no manager in the shop yet, I have also worked as a manager in the city, do you think I can do it?"

Tong Zhixin didn't respond.

Tong Zhaojin said again: "Fourth Uncle, I know that everything is difficult at the beginning, so I don't want much money, just like the guys in the store. We are relatives, and I want to help Fourth Uncle..."

Tong Zhi'er, who came out of the kitchen, just heard Tong Zhaojin's words, and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Tong Zhaojin's face is thicker than the old lady's!

How dare he say...

"Brother Zhaojin," Tong Zhi'er walked out with a smile.

Tong Zhaojin's eyes lit up, Tong Zhixin's family's affairs were mostly decided by Tong Zhi'er, Tong Zhi'er was smiling at him at the moment, maybe he really had something to do.

Tong Zhaojin stood up with an incomparably bright smile, "Zhier..."

"Brother Zhaojin, it's really rare that you can help, but my shop has no money to hire someone."

The smile on Tong Zhaojin's face faded a bit. If he really became the steward of his shop, it would not be for nothing... But after thinking about it, even if the steward has no salary, he is responsible for big and small things. You can also get a lot of oil and water from it.
