Traversing the good life of a peasant woman

Chapter 69

Since it's not enough to use force in secret, let's ask openly, Zhu Xunzhi tapped the tea bowl in his hand and said: "Brother Fang, I just said that I came to you today for two things, one is to give a thank you gift for my grandmother Zhongjie. The second one is, I am very interested in the prickly heat powder you sent to my nephew that day, I wonder if you, Brother Fang, have any idea of ​​transferring this recipe?"

"This...Although I already guessed Zhu Xunzhi's intention in my heart, Fang Dachuan still hesitated after hearing him mention it so clearly. The prescriptions were all researched by Yueniang herself, and she has always wanted to sell this prickly heat all the time. Fan, this matter is very important to Yueniang, he can't make this decision for Yueniang.

Zhu Xunzhi was not in a hurry when he saw Fang Dachuan's distressed face, he filled the tea bowl in front of Fang Dachuan with water and said, "Brother Fang, what is the embarrassment?"

"Mr. Zhu, I have no way to give you an answer to what you said. In fact, the method of making prickly heat powder is a family tradition of my wife. I need to ask my wife what you said today. I can give you an accurate answer." After Fang Dachuan finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Xunzhi, intending to ask him what he meant.

Wen Yue, who had been sitting by the window listening to their conversation, was overjoyed when she learned that Zhu Xunzhi came here for the prickly heat powder. She really didn't expect that she had already given up on the matter, but there was a turning point again.

It's no wonder that the couple didn't think about it. After all, it has been more than two months since the prickly heat powder was sent to the Zhu family, and there has been no news from the Zhu family. Where does this come from?
Zhu Xunzhi made a gesture of invitation, and Fang Dachuan said: "Brother Fang, go discuss it with Mrs. Sister-in-law. I will wait here. If Mrs. Sister-in-law agrees, I will buy this prescription at a suitable price."

Fang Dachuan nodded, punched Zhu Xunzhi, and went back to the house to discuss with Wen Yue.Wen Yue in the room had been waiting at the door for a long time. As soon as Fang Dachuan entered the room, she happily walked up to her, "Dachuan, that's great, our prickly heat powder is finally not in vain. As long as we sell this recipe, we Then you can make a lot of money again.”

Seeing Wen Yue happy, Fang Dachuan's mood improved a lot because of Zhu Xunzhi's destruction, "Yue Niang, you sure don't want to use yourself to sell this prickly heat powder, do you?"

"Yes, don't worry, I won't regret it. All my thoughts are now on our vermicelli. I believe that this vermicelli is our real source of income." Wen Yue said, pushing Fang Dachuan out : "Hurry up and talk to Mr. Zhu, anyway, we don't sell 500 taels less. Remember what I told you, add a little flower petals or flower juice, and it may become for women. pink?"

Fang Dachuan shook his head and said, "I don't remember." Seeing Wen Yue's expression changed, Dachuan smiled and said, "So, my lady, you can go with me."

"Me?!" Wen Yue looked at Fang Dachuan in surprise, "It's not that good, I'm a woman who will follow your men's affairs, you are not afraid of being laughed at!"

"What are you laughing at? There are many people who are envious of a capable wife. I actually think that the surname Zhu is not easy to deal with at first sight. Shopkeeper Mo is no match for him. So, lady, you still Come with me to Luezhen." Fang Dachuan took Wen Yue's hand and walked out.

Fang Dachuan took Wen Yue to sit opposite Zhu Xunzhi, "Master Zhu, this is my wife, and the formula of prickly heat powder is also her family tradition. I think it's better for her to know about it."

Zhu Xunzhi nodded. He walked around all year round, and he would inevitably meet some female bosses when talking about business, so he didn't show anything special about Wen Yue's appearance.He just wants to buy the formula, as long as it can be sold, there is no difference between men and women, "Brother Fang, since you brought Mrs. Zun here, can I understand that you also intend to sell this formula?"

Fang Dachuan nodded and said, "Young Master Zhu, I discussed it with my wife just now, and she agreed to this matter."

"In this case, let's talk about the price. Before that, I have a small request. I hope that after you sell this prescription to me, you can't sell it to another company. Even if you want it yourself To use this powder, you also need to buy it from me, and I don’t want the secret recipe to leak out because of your poor storage.” Although Zhu Xunzhi said that he wanted to discuss the price, he still put forward the request first.

"Sir, if that's the case, let's not sell this recipe." Wen Yue said softly after hearing Zhu Xunzhi's words, but in her heart she scoffed at Zhu Xunzhi's request, such an obviously unfair request, thanks to them they can also make it up.

One of Zhu Xun was a little anxious when he heard that Wen Yue said that he would not sell it. He had been doing business in other places a few days ago, and only found the prickly heat powder sent by Fang's family after returning home.When he heard his grandmother and sister praise the prickly heat powder, he knew it was another profitable project.

Wen Yue glanced at Zhu Xunzhi, and said softly: "Young Master Zhu, if you say that we want to buy prickly heat powder from you, there will be no problem, but you said that you are afraid that the formula will be leaked because of our poor management, which makes me very disturbed." .If the formula was passed on from you, would you..."

Seeing that Zhu Xunzhi was stunned for a moment, Wen Yue went on to say: "However, if it can be stated in the contract that as long as we sell the prescription to you and also buy the prickly heat powder from you, then if the formula of the prickly heat powder is leaked, Do not have any relationship with our Fang family, do you think this is feasible?"

After Zhu Xunzhi heard Wen Yue's words, his expression was no longer as relaxed as before, and the determination in his eyes was replaced by hesitation. He didn't expect that Fang Dachuan's wife would catch the loopholes in his words and make him fall into a passive state .It has nothing to do with their Fang family. If such a contract is really signed, if the Fang family is greedy for money and sells one side and two sides, wouldn't he be at a big loss?

Seeing that Zhu Xunzhi was silent, Fang Dachuan felt that Wen Yue's words were very reasonable, so he said, "Mr. Yes, if we sign the contract according to your request, we will not trust you. Neither we nor you have to take too much risk. If you can't trust us with each other, I think today's Let alone a deal."

Zhu Xunzhi was silent for a while, his eyes quickly swept from Wen Yue's face and landed on Fang Dachuan, and said with a wry smile: "I have met countless sellers before, and I have signed several such contracts, but I have never seen them. A cautious person like the two of you. According to the two of you, we seem to have fallen into a vicious circle. No matter how this deed is written, it seems that it cannot satisfy both of us."

Hearing what he said, Fang Dachuan thought that Zhu Xunzhi was going to give up. Although it was a pity that he couldn't make money, he didn't want to bear the shackles on the contract of Zhu's house even more.Who knows if the formula will flow out from the Zhu family, because no one can chase them and frame them, the Fang family does not have the power of the Zhu family, and the only way to go is to suffer.

He looked at Wen Yue, the only thing he cared about now was Wen Yue's thoughts, he didn't know if Wen Yue still wanted to risk selling this prescription.Wen Yue shook her head, and Fang Dachuan said: "Sister, it doesn't matter if you don't sell it. When we have the conditions in the future, we can make it ourselves and sell it."

Seeing that the Fang family and his wife reached a consensus so quickly, Zhu Xunzhi became a little anxious. He came here today just for this prescription. He didn't know there was such a thing in this world. Now that he knew, how could he miss it like this.

"Brother Fang, Mrs. Sister-in-law, you are wrong. I haven't said I won't buy it yet. How could you say no to selling it yourself. Since this contract has so many imperfections, we don't need to sign it. We will trust each other. In terms of character, I believe Brother Fang and his wife will not sell this prescription to two owners, so that's all right?"

Fang Dachuan nodded and said, "Of course it's good if this is the case. Although we are peasants, we still understand the principles of life. Integrity is also the foundation of our Fang family."

Seeing that Zhu Xunzhi took the initiative to compromise, Wen Yue felt more confident. It seems that this prickly heat powder is still very important to Zhu Xunzhi. Does that mean that they can sell more?
Sending off Zhu Xunzhi's master and servant, Wen Yue put the 500 taels of silver bills into her arms, and said with some regret: "I was thinking of selling more, but I didn't expect this surname Zhu to be so treacherous. It’s really hard to make money, if I didn’t say that I can make this thing suitable for all ages, I’m afraid he can give us 300 taels.”

Fang Dachuan smiled and said, "Forget it, there are already a lot of these. We are sellers, so we will suffer more than buyers. Who made us want to sell! Come, let me see what is in here, listen Mr. Zhu said that these are gifts from Mrs. Zhu's family to thank you."

"Dachuan, this box is full of dim sum, take it in and give it to mother and grandma. It's strange, Mr. Zhu has been away for so long, why don't they come out?" Wen Yue took the snack box and was about to go into the house.

Fang Dachuan held her back: "Don't worry, they're not at home, and they haven't moved for so long, you should know that they went out through the back door."

"When, why don't I know?" Wen Yue looked into the room in disbelief, and sure enough there was no one inside, "Da Chuan, do you know where they went?"

Fang Dachuan shook his head: "I don't know, I'll go out and look for it!"

"There's no need to look for it, we're back." While speaking, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Li came in through the back door with Man'er in their arms. "Those people have left?"

Zhao asked.

"Well, let's go, grandma, mother, let's go into the house and have a look. They have sent a lot of things. We haven't opened them yet, so we don't know what they are." Wen Yue hugged Man'er from Mrs. Li's hands. Come here and say with a smile.

"Really? I'll go and have a look." As soon as Mrs. Zhao heard that there was something, she immediately ran into the house. Wen Yue, who was walking behind, was pulled by Mrs. Li, "Mother, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Li nodded and said in a low voice, "Guess why Dong Jin'e's child was born so early?"

"Mother, what are you talking about? I'm listening!" Seeing that Mrs. Li still wanted to whet her appetite, Wen Yue couldn't help but said with a smile.

"You child, don't say you are impatient. Let me tell you, do you still remember the Suye cakes we gave to Aunt Sun's house? It's because of those things that she ate all the Suye cakes in one night." In the stomach, the result began to be indigestible, and she dared not tell her family that she was not feeling well after eating, so she had to walk around the house by herself. You also know that she has been in bad shape since she was pregnant with this child, and the result is like this Yes, toss the child away. Alas, this is all sin."

How could it be so dramatic? It really happened that the child was eaten up by eating, so Dong Jin'e could indeed eat some.The suye cakes she wrapped were not as small and delicate as the ones sold in the market in the previous life, each of them was almost as big as Shandong steamed stuffed buns, twenty of them, thanks to her being able to eat them.

"Mother, how did you know about this?" Thinking of this kind of thing, it can be regarded as a shameful private matter, how did Mrs. Li and the others know about it?According to Fourth Aunt Sun's temperament, she probably wouldn't tell anyone.

"She said it herself, I went to Aunt Sun's house with your grandma, and she was crying and making noise in that room, saying that we and Fang Xiaocui harmed her because we didn't want her to have a boy. "Ms. Li pursed her lips and said dumbfoundedly.

"Don't listen to her fart. I think she is poor. I see that the Sun family doesn't want to bear it anymore. From now on, she will feel better." Zhao said loudly in the room, " Come in quickly, there are many things here, come in and have a look."
