In the evening, Zhao'er cooked a good table and served Jiang Wu and Xue Qinghuai.
Because it was about business, Sun and Mao Dan did not come, but ate in the main room.
At the dinner table, Mrs. Zhao looked at Mrs. Sun, and said, "What is the fourth eldest doing in the second house at noon and night, without eating?"
Mrs Sun smiled and covered it up: "It's not that Zhao'er said he wanted to thank Jiang Wu and wanted to invite him to a meal. But there was no one in the second room who could accompany him to drink, so he asked his fourth uncle to accompany him."
"A senior to accompany the junior to drink?" Yang shi added. There must be something tricky about Sun's being able to deceive her but being deceived by others.
"Oh, look at what the sister-in-law said, our family is not a well-mannered family, but it is just a meal to cope with the situation, why do you involve the elders to accompany the younger generation to drink? Jiang Wu has helped the second room, dog. This is going back and forth from the town to the village, not to mention other times, it is also appropriate to invite people to have a meal."
Yang's unwillingness said: "Even if you are invited, it should be placed in the main room, not our parents, our mother, and our family?!"
Sun's heart was very annoyed by Yang's endless questioning. If she used to be afraid of Yang's a little bit, but now that the family is separated, she is not so worried.
She curled her lips and sneered: "It's not like we haven't kept Jiang Wu for dinner, he has promised several times? Why didn't the Jiang family stay in our family for dinner, big brother and sister-in-law have no idea? Besides, sister-in-law is willing to pay for meat. Treat people to dinner? If you want, I'll call Jiang Wu and Brother Huai back!"
This is a heart-wrenching remark. Since Jiang Hai and Xue Qingshan had a big fight once, the two families have been separated. The Jiang family originally came to see the friendship of the second child, Xue Qingsong. Since then, the Jiang family has not come to the Xue family very often. At most, Jiang Wu will come occasionally. Every time Mr. Xue left meals, he never should.
Everyone knows what's going on, but they don't talk about it. Not to mention that Mrs. Sun was still talking about Mrs. Yang and asked her to pay for meat and wine, and Mrs. Yang was a ghost when she dared to take it.
When eating at noon before, Xue Juncai told his family that the husband of the academy was going to have his birthday soon, and as a student according to the rules, he should go to celebrate his birthday. He asked his classmates, the husband does not accept congratulations, only congratulations, one or two starts, how much depends on his heart.
It depends on how much you want, and he said that he would start with one or two, which means at least one or two silver coins should be given away.
The couple in the big house had never heard of such a statement. Even Xue Qingshan was at most a gift or something. Now all the gentlemen in this school have learned to use birthdays to make money. But he didn't dare to say that he wouldn't give it, if he didn't coax the husband, what if the husband gave Xue Juncai small shoes? A lot of money has come out, and this little money can't be saved. It's just this time at most, how many times can I live
The big couple had no money in their hands, so they could only find the old couple. No, after Mr. Zhao heard about it, he scolded that gentleman for asking for money. Originally, the big couple wanted to carry people behind their backs, but now the whole family knew about it.
Don't say that the Yang family has no money, even if she has money, she would not dare to say that she would buy meat and wine.
Yang's face was red and her ears were red, she couldn't speak, she wanted to leave, she didn't dare to leave, she wanted to stay and couldn't come to Taiwan, but fortunately, Zhao helped her relieve the siege.
"What's the noise, you can't even eat!"
Immediately, he didn't speak any more, just buried himself in the meal.
At the same time, the wine and food in the second house were in full swing.
The place in Yuqing Village is cold, and it is inevitable to rely on wine to keep warm during winter, so men, women and children can drink a little, depending on how much they drink.
Jiang Wu persuaded a few words, and Zhao'er poured some wine into his bowl, which was half a bowl.
While talking, the three ate and drank. In fact, Xue Qinghuai and Jiang Wu were the ones who drank a lot, and Zhao'er at most took one or two sips. And Xue Tingxiang got off the table after eating and said that he was going to read on the kang, but in fact he focused on this.
After the meal was over, things were almost discussed.
The preliminary negotiation was that each of the three families would contribute some money to be a partner, and they would all do business together, and the other money from the partnership would buy a mule cart.
This purchase of a mule cart was suggested by Xue Tingxiang. I had to buy a cart originally. It was a must for them when buying and selling carts. If it was just a mule cart to run around, there would be no need for a partner.
The most expensive thing in the mule car is the livestock. An adult mule costs about 20 taels, and it costs money to build the car, so the initial estimate of the three people is 30 taels of silver.
Zhao'er can take out fifteen taels, Jiang Wu takes ten taels, and Xue Qinghuai takes out the remaining five taels. After all, this transaction was led by Zhao'er, so it should be more money.
As for the distribution of profits, it has also been negotiated. Selling ready-made clothes from the pawnshop is the way to recruit children. The way of doing business is also what she wants to do. She accounts for 50%, and Jiang Wu accounts for 30% of the remaining 50%, and Xue Qinghuai accounts for 20%.
Originally, Xue Qinghuai didn't intend to ask for 20%. After all, the way of buying and selling is someone else's. They did it just right. He inserted it, and he paid the least. Later, Zhao'er said that he traveled all over the country and knew a wide range of people. He was familiar with the situation in each village. Jiang Wu's family was bound to have something to do, and she had to take care of Xue Tingxiang. He would be the one to make a big effort in the future. He should have done more, so he agreed.
Xue Qinghuai returned to the house and Zhao'er sent Jiang Wu out of the door.
Jiang Wu blushed brightly and his eyes were bright because he drank some wine. I don't know if it was because of drinking or because the moon was too bright.
"Recruit..."
"Brother Jiang Wu, walk slowly on the road. If not, I'll let Heizi take you back?" Jiang Wu's drinker is good, and so are the hunters, because if you go into the mountains in the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, where will the cat wait? When the prey is hooked, it has to be carried by the wine so that it will not freeze.
Jiang Wu didn't drink much tonight, and Zhao'er knew how much he could drink, so he didn't plan to give him away.
"No, I can go back myself." He paused, then turned to look at her: "Zhao'er, I see you have a new hairpin on your head. When did you buy it, why haven't I seen it?"
Zhao'er didn't expect Jiang Wu to ask this, and was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It was bought by Tinger. He recently made some money copying books. He was ignorant and wasted money to buy a hairpin."
Jiang Wu originally thought that Mo was bought by Zhao'er herself. Although she is usually carefree, she is a girl's family. Who would have thought that Xue Tingxiang bought it.
How old is he to know how to spend money to buy hairpins for women
The smile on Jiang Wu's face froze immediately, and he couldn't help reaching into his arms, touching the hairpin that he had hidden in his arms for a long time without the courage to take it out.
The hairpin was made of silver, and it cost Jiang Wu several taels of silver. He knows every pattern on the hairpin, and he has rubbed it in his palm many times, but he is always hesitant to send it out, for fear that she will understand her heart and resist, fear...
But I didn't expect to be snatched first.
"Ting Yan will buy you a hairpin to wear."
"Yeah, he's a lot wiser now."
Looking at the smile on her face, Jiang Wu felt a little uncomfortable, and said, "He only earns a little money. It's really a child who is not sensible. It would be nice to have that money saved and used to buy books."
The corner of Zhao'er's mouth couldn't help pursing, and the smile on his face disappeared. He couldn't help defending: "The family doesn't expect him to make money, he just needs to study hard, it's just a heart."
Then you said just now that people are ignorant and waste money
In fact, Zhao'er's mentality is very understandable, that is, you can say whatever you want, but you can't choose someone else.
Jiang Wu knew that Zhao'er was protecting Xue Tingxiang, so he didn't dare to say any more and kept his mouth shut.
"Then I'll go back and come back early tomorrow morning"
"Well, thank you Jiang Wu brother."
Because there was such a paragraph in the middle, Zhao'er didn't say whether to send or not. She stood in front of the door for a while, then turned back to the yard. And Xue Tingxiang, who was standing in the shadow of the courtyard, had long since returned to the house when she was not paying attention.
Silent all night.
Early in the morning the next day, Jiang Wu came in his car.
After breakfast, he sent Xue Tingxiang to the school together with Zhao'er and Xue Qinghuai.
After that, they turned to buy a mule cart.
