Chapter 160

The shopkeeper came to Weijia village with Xia Xi. It was mostly in the morning when the weather was fine. The whole flat shelf in front of the door was covered with vermicelli. With the slight cold wind, it was very spectacular at a glance.

The shopkeeper's heart vibrated a lot.

Xia Xi started to deal with them. He and the chef thought that she was just an ordinary woman. She had to show herself outside because of her family's plan. Unexpectedly, she was not only skilled, but also the dishes he and the chef had never seen before.

Later I heard that she was going to open a fast food restaurant. He and the chef were worried for a while, for fear that Xia Xi would rob the business, but those were far less shocking than they are now.

Food can be thought out, but if you can think out a kind of food that has never been eaten before, it's hard to get to the top of the blue sky.

"Have you thought about it, shopkeeper? How much do you want?"

Xia Xi asked with a smile, and then said, "our retail price is 15 Wen a Jin. If you want more than 100 Jin, I'll give you the wholesale price, 10 Wen a Jin."

The shopkeeper's recovery, in front of Xia Xi thumbs up, sincerely admire, "Xia Niang Zi, you are really too cow."

"You're flattering me. I've been thinking about it. I didn't expect it to be."

The shopkeeper waved his hand with a smile, "don't be modest. This vermicelli can't be figured out by ordinary people."

Xia Xi also laughs, "then you..."

"Give me five hundred jin."

In fact, he and the chef are also holding a try attitude to buy vermicelli. They plan to buy 100 Jin first. First, they want to see the reaction of the guests, and second, they want to give Xia Xi a hand. After all, they are all doing business in the county, so they have to deal with each other.

But Xia Xi opened her mouth and said to give them a prescription. The shopkeeper took advantage of the time to call the carriage and discussed with the chef, and decided to take 500 Jin.

This vermicelli is worthless. It costs less than 500 Jin. It can't be sold. Even if it's rotten, it won't lose much. It's not as good as a recipe.

"Well, come with me."

Xia Xi smiles and leads the shopkeeper to see the village head.

She didn't have time to keep an eye on things here every day, so she gave them all to the village head.

The village head is busy collecting sweet potatoes.

Since I knew that the workshop began to collect sweet potatoes, people from neighboring villages also came to sell them. Every day, the line was long.

"Uncle, this is the shopkeeper of Yuelai restaurant. He's here to buy 500 Jin of vermicelli."

A sweet potato has just been weighed, and the village head is preparing to keep the account. When he hears Xia Xi's words, he shakes his hand and draws a straight line on the account book. He looks up and stares into a bell. He can't believe it and asks, "500 Jin?"

"Yes."

The shopkeeper should smile.

The village head quickly put down his pen, wiped his hands on his clothes again and again, half bowing, "you wait a moment, I'll send someone to load the car for you right away."

Shopkeeper

Although I don't know his identity, the one who can make lady Xia call uncle must be familiar.

The shopkeeper didn't dare to accept his big gift, so he quickly hid to one side, "please."

The village head waved his hands, "no trouble, no trouble."

Xia Xi looked at Zhile and said with a smile, "uncle, you scared the shopkeeper."

The village head stares at her and wants to say something about her. She's a big customer. Of course, she should have a good attitude. Maybe she'll buy it next time.

But in front of the shopkeeper, it's hard to tell her directly. She opened her mouth, didn't say a word, and then closed it. She turned around and told the two men who called sweet potato, "you two put the dough first."

The two men answered and walked inside.

Fearing that they would not work carefully and leave a bad impression on the shopkeeper, the village head followed up.

"Shopkeeper, I'm sorry. My workshop has just opened. It's very simple. I don't have a place for you to drink tea."

The shopkeeper waved his hand happily, "it doesn't matter. We have plenty of opportunities after tea."

The vermicelli were all made after they were dry. There were bundles of one Jin and ten jin. Two men carried out a big cloth bag, which was full of vermicelli. One bundle of ten Jin and one bundle of five. They carried it back and forth one after another.

It's too noisy for a car.

The shopkeeper paid the money and went back in the carriage. The rest of the money was pulled by the man.

Xia Xi handed five liang of silver to the village head, "uncle, this is our first income, you take it."

Five Liang silver is a whole piece, shining silver in the sun. The village head holds the silver in his hand, and his excited hand is shaking. Over the years, I've seen scattered pieces of silver, but I don't see many whole ingots.

Everyone also looked at it, whether it was the people who came to sell sweet potatoes or the people who made them. They all looked at it with their eyes wide open.

The village head's eyes did not dare to blink, for fear that the silver would grow wings and fly.

Xia Xi couldn't smile. She shook her hand in front of the village head, "uncle, I'm back."

The village head looked up at her, then looked down at the silver, held it tightly in his hand, and asked a silly question, "Lady Xia, do you think the silver won't grow wings and fly?"

Xia Xi bent down with a smile, tears are coming out, "uncle, have you ever heard of silver wings flying?"

The village head even replied, "No."

Xia Xi's laughter became bigger, and she waved her hands, "Oh, I can't do it, uncle, you're going to kill me with laughter."

Only then did the village head realize that he had said something stupid, and his old face turned red instantly.

Hold the hand of silver tightly, open a finger, exposed the seam of a finger, looked again, confirmed existence!

He closed his hands carefully, covered the silver firmly in his hands, and glared at the two men who called sweet potato, "what are you doing? Don't call sweet potato as soon as possible."

The two men answered quickly, tied a knot in the pocket of sweet potato and hooked it with a scale.

Xia Xi straightened up, wiped the corners of her eyes, and forced herself to smile, "uncle, you are busy. I'll go to the workshop to have a look."

Finish saying, then in a hurry toward the courtyard to walk, while walking, shoulder a shrug a shrug.

The village chief doesn't care how she reacts.

Suddenly he seemed to think of something. He turned around and secretly put the silver in his mouth and bit it. Well, it's true that he can bite.

Until noon, the smile on the village head's face did not break.

When we had lunch, we didn't say hello to Xia Xi. Holding the silver on our chest, we trotted home. We stepped into the yard and yelled, "old lady, open the door quickly."

A woman came out of the kitchen, "Dad, you are back. My mother and I are cooking."

The village head stopped for a moment. "Xiaolian, when did you come?"

"Just a moment."

The door was also opened and a man came out laughing and shouting, "father-in-law."

The head of the village covered the silver with his hand and put his back behind him, pretending that nothing had happened. "The root has come too."

"I have nothing to do in winter. I'll come back with lian'er to see you and your mother-in-law."

"Well, sit in the room."

The village head walked into the house in no hurry. Liu Gen got out of his way and closed the door after he went in.

Wei Lian also went back to the kitchen.

His mother took out a bundle of things from one side of the jar. After untiing it, she took out a bundle and put it into the pot. She pursed her lips. "Mother, is this the vermicelli produced in our village workshop?"

"Yes, but it's not the workshop in our village. It's from Lady Xia."

Wei Lian squatted down and added a handful of dry firewood to the stove. "Do they go to work every day, father, elder brother and second brother?"

"Your father used to help and didn't earn any money. Your elder brother and second brother built houses in the county. Only your elder sister-in-law was in the workshop."

"Then..."

Wei Lian pretended to be casual and asked, "how much money can they earn a day?"

The village head's daughter-in-law put away the vermicelli, tied up the rest and carefully put them into the pot before she answered, "twenty Wen."

"So much!"

Wei Lian exclaimed.

The village head's daughter-in-law said with a smile, "it's true that we've given a lot. Your eldest brother's life is not so difficult at last. Your father and I also save a lot of heart."

Wei Lian's lips tightened, and she added a piece of dry wood to the stove. The light of the fire reflected her slightly old face.

"I'll cook the noodles for a while. I'll make a fire. You can go inside and talk with your father for a while."

"I'd better come. With Liu gen, I can't say anything."

"Well, I'll find something and get some vermicelli when you leave."

Wei Lian opened her mouth. In the end, she didn't say anything.

When the village head's daughter-in-law came back, she took a colorful cloth bag and took out the chalk in the jar again. She untied it. She took out a large part of it and put it in the cloth bag. After putting it back, she tied the cloth bag tightly. "You, take this cloth bag tightly when you leave. If you meet someone, don't say it's chalk, Don't make it public when you take it home. Just eat it secretly. "

"Well."

Wei Lian answered and watched her mother carefully put the bag aside. Just as she was about to say something, Wei Cai's daughter-in-law's trumpet like voice rang out in the yard, "Dad! Daddy

The village head's daughter-in-law rushed out, "what's the matter?"

"Where's my father?"

Wei Cai's daughter-in-law walked quickly towards the kitchen and looked into the kitchen. She kept saying, "I heard that my father came back with five Liang silver today!"

The village head's daughter-in-law was stunned and scolded her, "who did you listen to? There's nothing wrong with it. "

Wei Cai's daughter-in-law turned her lips. "Niang, don't hide it from me. It's all over the village. Besides, I don't want to. I just want to see what the five Liang silver looks like? "

The village head and Liu Gen in the house naturally heard it. The village head's face turned black, but Liu Gen's eyes flashed.

Seeing that Wei Cai's daughter-in-law didn't seem to be lying, the village head's daughter-in-law confirmed again, "is this true?"

"Of course, I haven't finished my meal yet. When I heard the news, I came to my house. Where's my father?"

Word sound falls, Wei Lian comes out from the kitchen, "second sister-in-law."

"Oh, my sister-in-law is back. What can I do for you?"

He said something and sniffed.

The village head's daughter-in-law scolded her, "what can be delicious is to stew cabbage."

Wei Cai's daughter-in-law's eyes brightened, "did you put the vermicelli?"
