Take the space to flirt with the daughter-in-law

Xu Zhengrong didn't hide any more this time, and spread out his hands quite frankly, telling his whole idea: "It's nothing, it's just that I learned how to make wine recently, and I saw only grain wine in the old street, so I wanted to try it on a whim. Can you make medicinal wine..."

Sure enough, the owner of the pharmacy became interested. He sat up straight with an "oh", held his chin and thought carefully: "Making medicinal wine? This idea is new, and it's the first time I've heard of it. According to what you said, the selected Medicinal materials must not only nourish people, but also taste good, sweet root is indeed the best choice."

Sweet root is a unique plant on the mountains in the north of Xu country. It likes to grow in dark and humid places. Because of its extremely tenacious vitality, it can even be cultivated artificially in ordinary farmers' homes.

It is precisely because of the low cost of breeding that the price is quite low.

The boss frowned, a little disapproving: "However, who is willing to add medicinal materials to serious drinks? It's one thing to make it, but it's another thing to sell it."

Seeing that he finally got to the point, Xu Zhengrong couldn't help grinning: "So I'm here to find you!"

"If something like medicinal wine is really sold in the market, everyone will be skeptical and afraid to drink it, but it will be different if it is sold in a drug store. You just need to tell its efficacy and say that it is a newcomer in the store. It is estimated that the new health products on the Internet will attract a lot of business."

The boss thought about it carefully, and felt that what Xu Zhengrong said was true, but his brows were still tightly furrowed, "If your medicinal wine is not very good, if you sell it in my pharmacy, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of my pharmacy?"

"If you're worried, why don't you taste the wine yourself when it's brewed?" Xu Zhengrong didn't expect the boss to believe him so easily, "When the time comes, I'll borrow your store to sell wine, how about you and me? "

If Xu Zhengrong's business can really be negotiated, it might be a good way to make money. Anyway, it's just providing a venue, and after all the calculations, he won't lose himself.

The boss is a ghostly businessman. Even so, he still has other plans in his mind, so he pursed his lips on purpose and made a disgusted expression: "That's not possible! Is the [-]% so low? Then I'm working for you for nothing. gone."

Xu Zhengrong tapped the table lightly with his fingers: "Look at what you said, I bought the sweet root, and I also got the recipe for making wine. I will bear any risks in the future. You just got a piece of cake." What is there to be dissatisfied with, the boss, has he ever heard the story of a snake swallowing an elephant? You can’t be too greedy!”

"Especially since we are all old friends, you cheat me, how can you bear it!"

"..."

The boss was speechless: By the way, we have only met once or twice, so why are we old friends? !

Seeing that he refused to budge, the owner of the pharmacy fought stubbornly for a while, and finally gave up lazily, but then came up with another idea: "How about this, [-]%, you will use it as a material for sweets in the future." The sweet root is produced by my pharmacy, although the price of sweet root is low, but only my pharmacy has it, and only I can buy it on a large scale, how about it?"

Cunning monopolist!

Xu Zhengrong glanced at the boss angrily, and finally whispered reluctantly: "All right, but today I'm going to bring some sweet roots back."

Even if the business was settled, when the boss handed over a large package of medicinal materials to Xu Zhengrong, he was still very worried: "I can tell you, the official in the town knows me very well, if you kid How dare you lie to me, hum!"

He didn't finish the sentence, but the meaning of the threat behind could be understood by a fool, Xu Zhengrong hummed indiscriminately, snatched the medicinal materials from the boss cheekily, and said perfunctorily: "I know, I know, you are familiar with the official." , if I am bullied in the village in the future, can I come to you to appeal for my grievance?"

But the boss was very angry: "Stupid! Who told you this! I'm not a court, so if you say it again, it's none of my business for you to be bullied!!"

As long as the three wooden barrels are stacked together, a lot of space can be saved. Ah Shui insisted on not allowing Xu Zhengrong to rent a bullock cart and waste money. They squeezed a bullock cart with a few men from the same village.

Xu Zhengrong also became famous in two wars. Many people in the village knew him. Seeing him and Ah Shui sitting in the bullock cart, they looked at each other very tacitly. That's right, when I saw him, I greeted him with a grin: "Xu Laosan, what a coincidence to meet you!"

Xu Zhengrong squinted his eyes and thought about it for a long time, but he didn't recognize who the young man was. Ah Shui was afraid that he would offend others, so he greeted him first: "Isn't this the son of Carpenter Li from the east of the village? Are you coming to Kongshang Town?"

Carpenter Li's son is called Li Xiaoyong, and he is just an adult. His mother is an older brother, and she left early. The family is poor and cannot afford a private school, so he had to stay at home and learn crafts from his father.

Xu Zhengrong slapped his head, no wonder it looks familiar!

When making wine, he must buy some containers for wine. After much deliberation, it is best to find someone to order a large and thick wooden barrel. Carpenter, I met Carpenter Li.

Since he was asking for help from his father, Xu Zhengrong's attitude suddenly became enthusiastic, he kept Ah Shui inside, and clapped his hands at the empty seat next to him: "So it's Carpenter Li, come here, sit here! "

Although Li Xiaoyong learned the craft from his father, he was clumsy and was often scolded. He didn't say anything, but he felt a little inferior in his heart. Now when Xu Zhengrong called him "Little Carpenter Li", he felt that he was hurt. Ashamed, but happy, he sat down next to Xu Zhengrong.

The bullock cart was moving slowly and did not reach the most bumpy mountain road. Several people still felt leisurely while sitting. Xu Zhengrong tried to strike up a conversation with Li Xiaoyong, and kept giving rainbow farts. He not only praised Li Carpenter, but also had a clear logic He praised Li Xiaoyong one by one, and the rainbow farts one after another were quite skillful, until the young people who had never seen the world were so happy that they couldn't find the north.

When Xu Zhengrong said that he wanted to order a wooden barrel, Li Xiaoyong patted his chest and agreed. Looking at him, if there was wood in front of him, I am afraid that he would have volunteered to make a barrel on the spot.

However, the joy is the joy, Li Xiaoyong was coaxed into a daze by him, but he barely remembered his own weight, "I have only learned carpentry for a few days, and my craftsmanship is not as good as my father's. It’s better to wait a while, when I get home, I’ll talk to my father and ask him to make it for you, don’t worry about the price!”

What Xu Zhengrong wanted was his words, yes, the young man is quite good!

Ah Shui was sent home by Xu Zhengrong himself. Ever since the Lin family made such a fuss at the door and invited the villagers to dinner, in the eyes of the villagers, their relationship has been settled.

The man who worked saw him and didn't say a word, but the meddlesome aunt secretly muttered: "I thought Ah Shui was waiting for the government to come to match me. I used to think it was pitiful, but now I see it, hey, Bai I'm worried, I've been sneaking around to find a good guy, and I don't know when these two saw each other, if you want me to say, you're such a wimp, it's better to keep the official uniform to match!"

An aunt who was close to the Xu family suddenly became upset, "What are you talking about? The young people like each other and have not violated the law. Is it your turn to mutter here? Besides, I heard people say, This Xu Zhengrong has changed a lot recently, he is not as useless as you said!"

"As the saying goes, a dog can't change and eats shit. What he used to do is still there. How can he change it as soon as he says it? You can just wait, sooner or later, these two will be bad!"

"Besides, it's the Lin family's business that caused Xu Zhengrong this time... I heard that the Lin family is very narrow-minded, just wait, I swear to you, the marriage of these two people will be a mess!"

Let's discuss it with a few people, but the voice is still as loud as ever. When Xu Zhengrong led Ah Shui and walked over, he heard what these people said clearly.

He subconsciously turned his head to see Ah Shui's reaction. Fortunately, Ah Shui was still preoccupied with holding hands with Brother Xu in public, so he didn't hear what the gossip women said.

Xu Zhengrong didn't want to be serious with these bad-mouthed women, and he didn't want Ah Shui to know how sad he was. After secretly noting the faces of the women who spoke badly, he led Ah Shui to walk faster.

The nanny asked Ah Hua to wait in front of the threshold early in the morning. When the silly dog ​​saw his little master and Xu Zhengrong coming back, he wagged his thick tail quickly, raised his head and barked several times, and trotted all the way to Xu Zhengrong, fawning over him. Follow him around.

Ah Shui touched Ah Hua's furry head with a smile, and briskly called out to the room, the old nanny came out on crutches, and saw Ah Shui and Xu Zhengrong holding each other tightly hand.

Mammy frowned and coughed dryly twice on purpose: "Be more careful!"

Ah Shui was so frightened that he let go of Xu Zhengrong like an electric shock, and with a flushed little face, he stuck out his tongue at Mammy coquettishly.

As soon as the little brother let go of his soft and tender hand, Xu Zhengrong regretted the comfortable touch, but unfortunately, the elders are still watching here, and if he did too much, he might offend the old man.

Seeing that he was so self-conscious, Mammy was really satisfied, and pointed to the room: "Come in quickly, what are you talking about outside!"

The condition of Ah Shui's family is actually worse than that of Xu's family. After all, there is no man in the family, and there is one less labor force.

Xu Zhengrong sat in the main room with his hands tied and his feet tied. The room was dark, and the nanny was reluctant to light the lamp, so he felt extremely depressed staying in it.

The old lady and Ah Shui were used to staying here, so they didn’t think much of it. It was the first time that Ah Shui invited brother Xu into the house. She was very excited. Xu Zhengrong eats.

Rice was steaming on the stove, and small salted fish were steamed on a rack in the pot, which smelled strange.

Xu Zhengrong yelled all morning to sell spicy snails, and he was already numb from hunger. He didn't sniff his nose until he smelled the aroma of dried fish. He was so greedy.

"We don't have many guests at home. There's nothing to eat. Ah Shui brought back some white rice from the town last time, and mixed it with dried fish. Don't be disgusted with it!"

Xu Zhengrong naturally remembered that Ah Shui held the copper coin tightly for a long time to buy white rice last time, but he didn't expect to be willing to take it out to entertain himself now.

well!After all, it's because I earned less money, otherwise I wouldn't let my little brother suffer like this!

Ah Shui didn't think anything of it, but was worried that brother Xu didn't like the food he cooked, and he smiled happily when Xu Zhengrong ate a big bowl with his support.

"The bucket containing the spicy fried snails is full of oil. It's not easy to wash when you take it home, so why not just leave it with me. I'll take it to the river and wash it for you."

Xu Zhengrong thought that this was indeed the truth. He thought in his heart that there was still some time before the winemaking day. In the past half a month, selling spicy fried snails was a good way to make money. Anyway, the sauce was mixed in a big pot. It is also convenient to do.

Ah Shui smiled and said, "Brother Xu, I made four liang of silver in one day's work today, and I'm afraid it will be even better in the future!"

The little brother smiled happily, and Xu Zhengrong didn't want to open his mouth to attack him. The reason why the spicy fried snails are so popular today is because everyone wants to try something new, and on the other hand, they are greedy for cheap.

If you go there in the future, I'm afraid you won't be able to attract so many customers, but buying on the pier will have more floating customers, which is always beneficial.

What Xu Zhengrong is worried about now is that his base material for making snails is not very complicated, but any experienced person can guess the materials used once they taste it, so it is not difficult to imitate such low-cost things .

Sighing deeply, Xu Zhengrong can almost predict that in a few days, there will be several more vendors selling spicy fried snails on the wharf of the old street.

After all, in ancient times, there was no patent protection for this thing.

However, he didn't have to worry about it. After all, apart from stir-fried snails, he was also considered a man with mountains in his family.
