The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 47 Pig Teammates

As soon as shopkeeper Zhang finished speaking, the scene fell silent.

Want to go to the county magistrate?Go to jail?Is it that serious?Isn't it just a fish, what's the use?

Seeing that some people still seemed to have doubts, shopkeeper Zhang said: "In addition, this kind of fish can easily lead to poisoning if it is eaten and slaughtered differently. Report the crime of theft to the Yamen, you should think about it clearly."

Mu Jinxi couldn't help being a little amused seeing shopkeeper Zhang's serious words, he was indeed a businessman.If what he said before makes people half-believe, then what he said just now makes people dare not try it even if they don't believe it. Who wants to take their own life as a joke?Not worth it for a fish!You can eat as many fish as you have money!

"Village Chief, how much money can we get?" Someone finally couldn't help asking.

This is what everyone is most concerned about!

The village head said happily: "Every family can get one tael of silver!"

One or two!God, a full one or two? !This can make a fortune!

Everyone got excited again, this is their income for several months, and they can buy a lot of things.

"Village Chief, when will the money be distributed to us?"

"Soon, just these two days, when shopkeeper Zhang takes the contract to the county lord to establish a certificate, he will give me the remaining half of the silver, and then I will send it out. Just remember what shopkeeper Zhang said just now Stop, otherwise not only will you get into trouble, you might even have to pay money, I don't care about that." The village head said the ugly words first.

"I know, I know, village chief, don't worry, we all know how to do it."

Looking at Mu Jinxi in the crowd, shopkeeper Zhang suddenly had an idea and said to the village chief: "Village chief, you also know that I am in Taohua Town and I am busy on weekdays, so I want to find one of the villagers to help me. Watch the Xiushui River for me when I'm not around, and I'll pay you five hundred cash a month, what do you think?"

"The job is to wander around the river occasionally after finishing the farm work, to see if anyone is catching fish. There is no other work, and the farm work will not be delayed."

Listening to shopkeeper Zhang's words, Mu Jinxi suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart. Why did she feel that the idea proposed by shopkeeper Zhang was aimed at her?

The village head was stunned, and immediately realized that this was a good opportunity. He just went to the riverside in his free time, and he could earn [-] Wen a month. This is a good job!
The village chief's eyes lit up, and he wanted to recommend his son, but the shopkeeper Zhang said: "I happen to know a villager in your village, so I will leave this matter to him."

The village chief's smile froze immediately, his face was full of disappointment, but he didn't want to say much, he just asked, "Then who is this person that Shopkeeper Zhang is talking about?"

"Oh, it's Brother Mu. He seems to have a daughter named Xiaoxi and a son named Jinhua."

The corner of Mu Jinxi's mouth twitched, brother Mu... who is your brother!

Papa Mu, who was lying innocently on the gun, didn't know what happened, and asked in a strange low voice: "Xiaoxi, is there anyone in the village with the same name as you and Jinhua?"

Mu Jinxi rolled her eyes: "Father, the person he's talking about is you!"

"what?"

Not only Mu Papa himself was stupid, but everyone else was also stupid. They never expected that this good thing would fall to the honest and dull Mu Ankang.

Facing the almost condemning gazes of some people, Mu Ankang, that is, Papa Mu, subconsciously wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Mu Jinxi's cold words.

"Father, since the shopkeeper of Peach Blossom Restaurant has chosen you, then you should do your best to help him! Here, I would like to thank the shopkeeper on behalf of my father. After all, the situation in my family is really bad, and there is almost no rice to cook. "

Shopkeeper Zhang twitched the corner of his mouth, no rice to cook?Just kidding, I only took more than 200 taels of silver from him yesterday, will there be no rice to cook?hehe……

Father Mu still hesitated when he heard his daughter's words: "But Xiaoxi, apart from farming, what else—"

"Don't worry, Brother Mu. You don't have to do anything, just go to the riverside when you have time, and then report the situation when someone comes from the Peach Blossom Restaurant." Shopkeeper Zhang said with a smile.

"Father, did you hear me? It's just a stroll by the river. This way, we will have five hundred Wen a month, and our family's situation will improve a bit."

Xiaobao also understood at this time, and said anxiously: "Grandpa, please agree quickly!"

Father Mu looked down at his grandson, met his eyes full of trust, his head became hot, and he replied loudly: "In this case, I will thank the shopkeeper first, and I will definitely take good care of Xiushuihe!"

"Hehe, very good. I just want a responsible person with good conduct. I don't want someone to steal my fish and secretly catch and eat all my fish." The shopkeeper Zhang said jokingly, but for no reason People feel embarrassed, his words seem to imply something.

The village chief agrees with Shopkeeper Zhang's words, and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper Zhang really found the right person, and Ankang is famous for being honest in the village! He will definitely do his best!"

After finishing speaking, he said to Old Man Mu: "Ankang, you should work hard for shopkeeper Zhang, earn more money, buy some delicious food, and see how thin your little treasure is."

The village chief looked at Xiao Bao who was standing beside Mu Jinxi and shook his head.

Papa Mu also looked down at his grandson, and decided to work hard for shopkeeper Zhang, as the village chief said, make more money and buy delicious food for Xiaobao!

Many people were very dissatisfied with Papa Mu for getting this great opportunity, and muttered a few strange words in secret, Mu Jinxi stopped in his ears, just as if a gust of wind blew past his ears.

The surrounding villagers buzzed and discussed for a while before they slowly dispersed and went about their own work.

Mu Jinxi took Xiaobao by the hand and was about to go home with her father, but she was stopped after walking not far.

"Ma'am—uh, Miss Mu—that's not right, let's call her Ma'am, Ma'am, please stay!"
