I'm in a maid of honor

Chapter 17 The Last Step

These things are almost done, Mrs. Shen also sent the money over two days ago, the money for the two pictures of beauties is a hundred silver coins, I didn't expect that I would be dizzy after exhausting painting in a small black room for a month The dizzying wages and labor costs are removed and two beauties come out.

What a huge profit.

worth learning!

The next step is the part of the ingredients. In the previous period, Wu Chen was the only one who went shopping for vegetables and cooking, and it was not a restaurant in the village. It is very unusual for a woman to go to the vegetable market every day to buy vegetables and cook.

Some people find it novel, some people are envious, but most of them are suspicious and contemptuous, whether it is someone who came to marry and eat soft food.

But these were directly ignored by Mu Sheng. Her love for her husband has nothing to do with these outsiders. The people around her are the ones who know the best, and they deserve her to treat them so carefully.

But suspicion is suspicion, and contempt is contempt. Businessmen always greet people with a smile. Who knows what that face is thinking.

I own a hot pot restaurant, so the purchase volume must be large, and the price must be different from the usual grocery shopping, and it must be delivered on time every day to ensure freshness.

What she plans to do is a long-term cooperation, so her vision must be sharper, especially if the meat is mixed with bad meat to affect the taste of the hot pot, it will smash the signboard.

Mu Sheng took a stroll along the way and found that although the streets were full of them, most of them were sold at home because they had too many vegetables to eat, and few of them were actually in the vegetable business.

I didn't notice these when I usually buy vegetables. It seems that the previous thoughts only apply to the world I live in.

This is equivalent to our ancient feudal society. In terms of agriculture, relying on the sky for food is really risky. If there are insect pests, droughts or floods, or bad weather, the whole family will starve.

Therefore, very few have bought vegetables for a living, and those who have land in the village will plant full of millet and open up vegetable fields.

After the rice is mature, it can be used to offset the annual tax. There are also businessmen who come to harvest the rice. These can be said to account for most of the income of rural people in a year.

The rest will be planted with vegetables and radishes, and they will eat by themselves on weekdays, and most of them will be picked up to sell on the central street.

There are also many farms of wealthy families in the countryside. Except for their own supplies, they only grow rice and corn, which can be preserved for a long time.

This put Mu Sheng in a difficult situation. Originally, she wanted to teach Qiao Qian about these things. After all, men are better at grocery shopping.

Instead, I am afraid of self-defeating.

But she has already said what she should say. She has a premonition that Qiaoqian will agree, but she is afraid that her prediction will be wrong.

She wants to use someone she can trust, because this is her first step, and she must never go wrong.

Just as she was thinking about it, suddenly a dingy shadow rushed over and bumped into her.

When he calmed down, he saw that it was a dirty little beggar, and the white radish in his hand was particularly eye-catching.

Before she was stunned, a middle-aged woman ran up to her angrily holding a wooden stick. "Don't meddle in your own business, hand over this beggar to me, I'll beat her up today."

It seems that this white radish must have been stolen, "Isn't it just a radish, there is no need to beat someone, I will pay for her."

"You don't know, this guy has stolen once or twice, and he can't guard against it every day, so he runs away after taking it."

"If you want me to let him go today, don't even think about paying for this carrot. She has to pay me for everything she stole before, otherwise she won't be able to escape this beating."

Mu Sheng frowned. She really didn't like thieves, and she was not a virgin Mary, so she was obliged to help anyone.

It's just that this child is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and she is dressed so thinly. She is cold when she looks at her. If she is beaten to death, how can she survive such a cold day.

Just hesitated, shrunk the child in her arms and tugged at her sleeves, "Save me, if you save me, I can help you work to repay the debt".

What can a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child ask her to do, but this shows that her mind is not bad, and she knows that she can use her labor in exchange for compensation, so it doesn't hurt to help herself.

Mu Sheng looked at the guy who regarded him as a life-saving straw, and pulled her away with one hand, "Apologize to others first."

The little guy was very well-behaved, and he immediately said sorry and handed him the carrot.

That person is not ruthless, but he is really angry. Looking at the child, he is really pitiful. He apologized and apologized. She still couldn't justify her entanglement. She waved her hand and said, "Don't have another time." Turn back and go.

But Mu Sheng hurriedly stopped her, "Sister, don't leave, do you grow many kinds of vegetables? If it's suitable, I'll take care of them all."

The eldest sister who sells vegetables paused for a moment, she met a big boss, and was worried that the vegetables could not be sold, and the old mother at home was still waiting for money to buy medicines, but she was anxious, this beggar happened to bump into her this time too. When it came to her temper, the food was stolen before it was sold. It was really not a good omen, so she was so angry.

I didn't expect this to be a blessing in disguise. "Yes! My family has a lot of vegetables. There are several kinds of leafy vegetables at home. Radishes, sweet potatoes, pumpkins and taro are piled up in the cellar. My mother is seriously ill and urgently needs money for medicine. If you can pay for it, you will be my great benefactor."

It seems that today I am destined to become the savior.

"I've booked it, but first take me to your house to see how the dishes are, and then deliver them to the newly opened restaurant opposite the school on the first street on time and in quantity."

He took another silver coin out of his pocket, "This is the advance money, you can use it to buy medicine for your mother first."

But there is another condition "take this guy to your house to work for you to pay off the debt of stealing your things".

The eldest sister who bought vegetables was so grateful, she really met a good person.

Mu Sheng looked at the little beggar who was stealing again, "Do you agree?"

The little beggar nodded, and walked up to the grocery shopping lady, "I am willing to work for you to pay off the debt."

Sure enough, this little guy is still very gratifying, but how did he end up in this field.

Mu Sheng followed the elder sister who bought the vegetables to her shoulders. As expected, all the vegetables were juicy. Since the vegetables were packed, he didn't have to brave the cold wind to put them here.

Originally, the journey was very long, so the elder sister suggested that Mu Sheng rent an ox cart to come to the village another day, but Mu Sheng insisted on going today, saying that he didn't mind the long distance.

So the eldest sister who sold vegetables took the burden and led Mu Sheng and the little beggar to her home.

The journey was indeed quite long, and it took two hours to walk out of the street. In this winter, my toes were so cold that I couldn't feel it. To be honest, Mu Sheng felt regretful.

On the contrary, although the little beggar was shivering from the cold, he didn't complain.

But a businessman must always show the courage of a businessman and never regret it.

After walking for a long time, I finally arrived. Before I reached the gate of the yard, I could hear intermittent coughing. It really was another poor family.
