Reborn peasant girl: I became rich overnight by traveling to sea

Chapter 57 far exceeded expectations

Facing the ajar door of Liu's house, Chang Pingning wanted to reach out and push it. At the same time, he felt that Liu's house had many rules - if someone came to look for someone in the village, they would always invite the guest into the yard and wait.

Just when Chang Pingning was thinking wildly, the door opened gently in front of her.Chang Pingning thought it was Butler Liu who came out to call her.

Unexpectedly, the person who appeared in front of Chang Pingning was a little boy. When she first came to Guojiacun to see Guo Bomo, he was the half-grown child who took a fancy to the straw knitting thing in her hand.She is very delicate-looking, a few years younger than Chang Pingyan, and about the same age as Guo Lingan.

"Are you also coming to my house to please me?" The little boy sounded very arrogant, but his eyes looked at Chang Pingning with some defensiveness.

Chang Pingning wanted to laugh after hearing the little boy's words. Just when he was about to tighten his expression and imitate his serious tone to tease him, he heard a panicked sound coming from the yard.

"Young Master Kang Yu, why are you here? It's so easy to find my aunt!"

Chang Pingning saw a young woman with a delicate face, but a somewhat mean look, appear behind the boy in front of her and run towards the boy.

The little boy shook his head and whispered: "It's really troublesome, here it comes again." As he said that, he turned around and bumped into the woman, knocking her staggering and falling to the ground.

"I just hate you! Stay away from me!" The little boy shouted at the young woman who fell to the ground, and then ran away quickly, and he didn't know where he went.

Chang Pingning, who was watching all this from outside the door, felt that the little boy taught by the Liu family was a little rude. He was about to step forward and help the young woman who fell to the ground when she heard a piercing scream.

"You!" The young woman stood up and pointed at Chang Pingning, "Stand there and don't move!" Her expression was very mean when she spoke.

Chang Pingning was speechless, knowing that the other party looked down on him.

Sure enough, after the young woman stood up, she didn't look at Chang Pingning at all. She twisted her waist and walked away, speaking in a voice that Chang Pingning could hear.

"Butler Liu has been useless since he arrived in the village. He doesn't know how to stop cats and dogs from getting closer." As the young woman spoke, she glanced at Chang Pingning with disdain and shouted impatiently into the yard, "Liu." Butler" and walked away.

Soon, Butler Liu trotted to the door of the Liu family. He apologized to Chang Pingning repeatedly: "Ms. Guo, I'm sorry. There was something going on with the lady just now, and I couldn't leave for a while. I will take you to see the lady now. Chef Meng I happen to be busy with the lady as well."

Chang Pingning nodded, but thought of the two Liu family members he had just seen, and worried that her visit to Miss Liu would affect her situation in the Liu family, he took the initiative to ask Butler Liu: "Butler Liu, can you ask them to come out?"

You should always feel more comfortable in the Guo family yard.

Unexpectedly, Butler Liu shook his head: "The Liu family has a lot of things happening recently. I'm afraid it's not convenient for the young lady to go out."

Chang Pingning sighed: "I got distracted and asked Butler Liu to lead the way."

They say they lead the way, but they are actually the big houses in the village.Chang Pingning followed Butler Liu for a few steps before arriving at the door of a small house.Butler Liu made a "please" gesture and left in a hurry.

Chang Pingning felt that the Liu family seemed to be preparing something, and felt a little nervous. Should he not come to the Liu family to disturb Miss Liu?But remembering the purpose of coming to Liu's house today, Chang Pingning stepped forward and knocked on the door of the hut.

"Come in!" Meng Xia's voice came from inside the house, "Push the door open yourself."

Chang Pingning couldn't help laughing when he heard Meng Xia's informal attitude, and the previous nervousness dissipated.

He reached out and pushed the door open and walked in.

Inside the room, Liu Qingwan and Meng Xia were sitting around a table, and both of their hands were busy - Liu Qingwan was busy doing needlework, while Meng Xia was writing and drawing on paper.His movements seemed hurried and his expression was anxious.

"Ning Ning, what's the matter?" Liu Qingwan looked up at Chang Pingning, and the needlework in her hand stopped unconsciously.Chang Pingning was about to speak when he heard Butler Liu's voice coming from outside the house.

"Miss, the young master would like you to go and have a look."

Hearing the sound outside the house, Liu Qingwan closed her eyes, took a deep breath, then looked at Chang Pingning and asked in a low voice: "Ning Ning, why are you here..."

"It's Haizhi's business." Chang Pingning replied hurriedly, fearing to delay Miss Liu's business.

Liu Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and said towards the outside of the room: "I understand, Manager Liu, I'll go over after finishing these stitches."

Then Liu Qingwan looked at Meng Xia and whispered, "Look at what's going on here in Ningning." After saying that, she put her needlework on the table and walked out of the room.

Chang Pingning looked at Miss Liu's appearance and movements, and suddenly the little boy she met earlier appeared in her mind: "Did Qingwan leave because of her son?"

"Ah?" Meng Xia was confused and didn't understand why Chang Pingning's topic suddenly changed so quickly.

Seeing this, Chang Pingning talked about the "young master" she met at the door and the young woman who called herself "aunt".

Meng Xia thought for a while: "I probably won't call Qingwan over for this matter."

"Yes." Chang Pingning agreed with Meng Xia, thought for a while and then said, "Her son looks quite pale. He must have been bored in the house for too long. It's better to let him out for a run..."

Meng Xia saw that the topic was about to go in the direction of strange "parenting lessons", and took the initiative to stop: "We two don't have children yet, there is no need to rush to teach Qingwan how to raise children. You said you came here because of the oyster business. , what exactly happened?”

Only then did Chang Pingning realize that he seemed to be a little troubled just now, and he quickly talked about how other stalls had copied the sea oysters and lowered the price: "There is a stall owner at the port who learned how to..."

After listening to Chang Pingning's words, Meng Xia sighed, but the expression on her face was somewhat expected. She asked: "No one has learned how to sell sea urchin fried rice, right?"

Chang Pingning nodded: "Not yet, we are the only ones selling sea urchin fried rice today." After a pause, he added, "The most popular item sold today is sea urchin fried rice." Chang Pingning said, took out the account book in his arms and handed it to Meng Xia. .

"You brought the account book here?" Meng Xia's expression was surprised.

"It's not like you haven't gone to my house to check the accounts for several days." Chang Pingning smiled a little sheepishly, "I thought I'd bring it over to show you. I didn't expect the Liu family to be quite busy."

"It doesn't matter." Meng Xia said while flipping through the ledger quickly, "It doesn't matter if someone secretly learns about our oysters. Food, even if we don't tell people the recipes, it is easy for others to learn it. We can't just stop one when we see one.

"I looked at the ledger and found that the daily surplus is pretty good. Why don't we hire a few more people to bake oysters and pay them dozens of cash a day."

Chang Pingning was shocked: "Didn't they learn from this?" Then how will their stall make money in the future?

"It's okay." Meng Xia patted Chang Pingning's shoulder reassuringly, "Originally, it was because charcoal grilled oysters are easy to learn, so I planned to use it to help me earn my first pot of gold. Now that it can be sold for such a long time, it has become a long time ago. It exceeded my expectations.

"If everyone knows how to do it, the price will come down. If it doesn't make much money, we don't have to sell it. Anyway, it's a quick buck." Meng Xia was very open-minded.

Chang Pingning was puzzled: "We only make money from sea urchin fried rice?"

Hearing Chang Pingning's question, Meng Xia smiled: "Definitely not." After a pause, he added, "Maybe there will be a big business waiting for us by then."
