Flowers are expensive

Chapter 141 The Attentive Liu Family

"Shut up!" the housekeeper yelled angrily, "Are you still going? Come two people and throw this old woman out of the alley!"

The two servants immediately walked towards Mrs. Liu.Liu Shi was so frightened that she screamed and screamed, backing up and shouting: "I... I want to have troubles, my family Chang Ming... and your young lady... I will not spare you!"

"You're still talking nonsense! What are you? It's my lady's turn to feel sorry for you? Give her a couple of hits!" the housekeeper said angrily.

One of the servants raised his hand and slapped Liu Shi across the face, causing Liu Shi's brain to buzz, and he turned around twice and fell to the ground.Liushi struggled to get up while crying with her face in her hands, and ran into the arms of the servant who beat her just now without saying a word.

The servant didn't expect it, he was knocked back a few steps, with anger on his face, he grabbed Liu's bun and kicked viciously.Mrs. Liu let out a groan, and fell on her back, unable to even utter a sound from the pain.

The housekeeper yelled angrily: "Shameless old bastard! Scattered all over Hong's house! Kick her twice again, I see what Guan Changming can do to me!"

The servant walked to Liu's side with a cold expression on his face, and when he was about to step down, Lihua shouted beside him: "Wait!"

The butler raised his eyelids to look at Lihua, and asked impatiently, "What are you doing here? Could it be that you are with this damn old woman?"

"This housekeeper," Li Hua stepped forward and said, "We know her well..." Before finishing speaking, Mrs. Liu suddenly got up from the ground, grabbed Li Hua's arm and cried in a mess: "Pear Hua, Cuiyue, have you all seen it? My life is so miserable! Why did I raise such an unfilial son? Just explain clearly what he and Ms. Hong are unclear about. He comes to be beaten at the door, what kind of heart does he have? Lihua, I'm dead, you send a message to Chang Ming, don't come to my grave every Qingming to burn incense and toast, I can't stand it! I want to give it to Miss Hong If you come to pay homage to me, I will not accept it..."

"My lady gave Guan Changming money?" the housekeeper asked sensitively.

"Oh, it's embarrassing to say it! Although our family is poor, we can't live on Miss Hong's money! But Miss Hong trusts my family, Chang Ming, ouch..." Liu said while crying , "Ewha, did your godmother specify to tell you? The one thousand in our family..."

"Mother Liu!" Li Hua softly stopped Liu Shi.Lihua finally saw what Liu's plan was.

Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Hua with tears in her eyes, and when she was about to continue howling, Li Hua grabbed her arm and whispered in her ear: "You old man wants the whole world to misunderstand Brother Chang Ming and Miss Hong. If you have an affair, cry yourself, old man, don’t hold my hand! I’m not acting for you!”

Liu's pupils were dilated, and she looked at Lihua in astonishment.Lihua pushed Liu's hand away, and said in a flat tone: "Mother Liu, we know each other, but I'm not here today to listen to you cry, I have serious business to do. I advise you to go back first, maybe Brother Chang Ming has been looking for you everywhere!"

For a moment Liu was so embarrassed that she had nowhere to go, and when she wanted to howl again, she felt that she couldn't bear it anymore, so she stared at Lihua dissatisfiedly, then at the butler, then turned her head and ran away in a hurry.

The butler looked at Lihua and asked, "What's the serious business of you coming here?" The shopkeeper who had been watching the excitement hurried over and said, "Housekeeper Hong, she's here to talk about the business of the shop, and I'm in charge of it." The shop in the shop. How is the talk between Xiaodong’s family and Boss Qi?”

"The shop?" Steward Hong looked at Li Hua suspiciously again, and asked with a frown, "Girl, are you joking? Are you here to make the shop, do you bring any money?"

"It's not like going to a gambling shop. Who would bring a hundred taels of silver with them?" Lihua smiled lightly, "What's more, we sisters just think that the size of the shop is just right, and the location is okay, so we didn't say anything. I will definitely want it, so we can’t decide until we talk about it? Is Housekeeper Hong looking down on people? Well, your Hong family has more than just shops in the town, so we’ll just have to look at it later.” Lihua turned around and smiled at Cuiyue , The two have already reached the point where they understand each other.Cuiyue also said: "That's right, I just came here to watch the excitement, and then look elsewhere!"

When Housekeeper Hong heard what they said, he quickly changed his smile and said, "You two girls, don't mind, I don't mean to look down on you. There are women who come out to do business, but like you two... That's all, let's not talk about this, my young master is talking about this shop with Boss Qi, if you are willing to take over, then this matter will be much easier. Please come to the mansion with me, I will go Tell the young master."

Lihua and Cuiyue followed Steward Hong into the mansion, and not long after, Hong Kun came to see them.Hong Kun is really not good at doing business, and he behaves more like a playboy.Because Boss Qi insisted on quitting the shop, the two quickly reached an agreement with Hong Kun, setting the day after tomorrow silver contract and clearing the two.

After leaving the Hong Mansion, the two returned to the shop for dinner.When the shopkeeper and the others knew that they had sold the shop, they were extraordinarily attentive.The master chef of the shop hurriedly made three or four dishes and brought them to the table himself, and asked, "Two proprietresses, try it, it's absolutely authentic local dishes that you can't find elsewhere. It's a good deal, just relying on my skills, I guarantee that you will get back your money in three months!"

Lihua took a sip of the glutinous rice meat balls made by the master chef, nodded and said with a smile: "The taste is quite good, glutinous and fragrant."

"That's natural!" The master said with a smile, "I've been in this business for several years, and I have many repeat customers! If the two proprietresses are willing to continue to use my words, I will assign you to do it well!"

Lihua and Cuiyue looked at each other and smiled in unison.In fact, they don't intend to continue to open a restaurant for this shop, but want to open a cosmetic shop.

Cuiyue asked the master: "Among the people who fought in front of Hong's house just now, were you?" "Oh, I told the two proprietresses a joke!" The master smiled embarrassedly and said, "Isn't that for you?" Did the little boss force you? The little boss said he was going to take over the shop, and the wages would not belong to him. He would go to find a new boss, but the new boss changed one after another, pushing this one, pushing this one, and calling us draggers How do you live with a mouth? I’m not complaining to you, I really have an 80-year-old mother in my family, and a three-year-old child to raise.” “It’s not like that, there are other restaurants in this town, you can find another Let's get a job." Lihua said.

The master smiled honestly and said: "To tell you the truth, the old owner's family was kind before, they didn't treat us badly, and their wages were higher than other shops, so the workers in this shop have been working for five or six years. If you go to other places, firstly, you can’t get such a good salary, and secondly, you are more or less reluctant. The shopkeeper, the waiter, and the helper, it’s rare for everyone to have such a tacit understanding! I see that you two are also good-hearted, just Don't send us away, just keep doing it as usual, maybe we can set up a big restaurant for you in the future!"

Both Lihua and Cuiyue laughed, thinking that the chef is very cute, his words are funny and sincere, and the most important thing is that his cooking skills are really good.After sending the master to go, Cuiyue asked Lihua: "Are you soft-hearted? You don't want to break up?" Lihua nodded and smiled, "Sister Cuiyue, who knows me! How did you see that I'm soft-hearted?"

"Actually, I also think that since this shop can continue to operate, don't bother with other things. Although neither of us understands the diet business, we can learn slowly. If we want to reinstall it as a makeup shop, it will take a lot of money." What about the money! It’s better to keep it and spend some money on our flower fields first.”

"That's what I thought too. Looks like we're thinking of getting together!"

"Come on, you have to take a sip!" The two raised their small wine glasses and clinked, and then drank it all in one gulp.Lihua looked at the small wine glass in her hand and said, "It's better to drink from a bowl!"

"I'm still drinking! Today is an exception, and it's better to drink less in the future. By the way, you really don't want to go to the county to see a doctor? I'm still a little worried." "Don't bother Brother Chang Ming, I don't think it's a problem. Besides, let's buy a carriage first? It will be more convenient to go to and from the town, and you don't have to bother Brother Chang Ming." Lihua felt that she offended Liu Shi like this today, and she was afraid that Liu Shi would not do it in the future. Will see them both sisters. "Do the two proprietresses want to buy a carriage?" The master chef came over with a plate of braised shrimp and asked with a smile.

"Yes, do you have a way?" Cui Yue asked with a smile. "Speaking of this, I really have a way. My brother-in-law is in business in the south, and he always says that the horses in Yunnan are good. If you want me to entrust him with a letter, let him get you two next time. Come back."

"Huh? Is it so troublesome to buy a horse? Is there no horse seller around here?" Lihua asked in surprise.

"Miss proprietress, you just came to our side, right? This is not outside the frontier, where can you buy ready-made horses? On weekdays, ox carts are the most commonly used, and only wealthy families can use horse-drawn carts. But those horses are also They came back one by one from other places. It is even more difficult to buy a good horse!"

The corners of Lihua's eyes twitched, thinking, why is it more troublesome than buying a BMW or Porsche?She hurriedly asked: "How much is a horse? Isn't it expensive?" The master smiled and said: "That depends on how the horse brought back by my brother-in-law is. If it is the same size as the coat, it will be worth about 300 taels of silver." ..."

"300 taels?" Li Hua gestured three fingers and asked in surprise, "Does it cost so much? It can sell a shop!"

"It's not too expensive. Ma'am, think about it. It's a long way from Yunnan, not to mention the hard work. Some horses die halfway, and they can't even get their money back! So ordinary 300 taels for a horse is not expensive. If you meet a tall horse, yellow-brown or black-brown, it will be even more expensive, ranging from seven to eight hundred taels to more than a thousand taels. But don’t worry, it’s my brother-in-law. I appointed him to give you a good price."

"Hey..." Lihua smiled at Cuiyue, "Sister, let's fix the roofs of the two bullock carts first. The speed is about the same as the Alto, but it's not as expensive as the Audi! Living at home, the bullock cart is the most affordable!"

"What is Alto Audi?" The master asked curiously, "Could it be the name of a horse breed? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Lihua had no choice but to tell him with a smile that it was the name of a horse breed, and Otto was also Audi's younger brother!From the current point of view, buying a horse is a bit unbearable, so I can only use an ox cart instead, which is better than nothing!It turns out that no matter which dynasty or generation, the fast ones are expensive!

After the meal, Lihua and Cuiyue explained some matters to the shopkeeper, then left to look for Chang Ming at the ox cart storage place in Zhenkou.

From a distance, Lihua saw Mrs. Liu sitting on the bullock cart, talking to Chang Ming with a displeased face.After they approached, Mrs. Liu glanced at Li Hua, with an even more dissatisfied expression on her face, twisted her body and said to Chang Ming angrily: "Here comes the person, it's time to go! What are you delaying here? The whole family There are piles of work waiting to be done! I am so miserable, will I give you grass and tiles when I was born? If you have nothing to do, don't run to the town!"

Lihua knew that Liu's heart was not happy yet, these words were just for her to hear.So she said to Chang Ming as she got into the carriage, "Brother Chang Ming, my sister and I are also planning to buy an ox cart. It's not difficult to learn how to ride an ox, is it?" Chang Ming jumped on the ox cart and said, "You don't need to buy any ox carts. Car, if you need anything, just call me."
