Madam, go home and farm

Chapter 188 Renting the cellar

"Miss, they really didn't come to be lobbyists, what you promised..." Back home, Hong Hao'an grinned silly and followed Puhuang closely, feeling a little excited and looking forward to it.

Pu Huang twitched the corners of his mouth, turned around, and looked helplessly at the man behind him, "I said Mrs., it seems that our bet didn't say the time, this time it didn't, but next time, next time ?”

The smile on Hong Hao'an's face froze, and he had a bad premonition in his heart, so he couldn't help crying pitifully: "My lady, are you really cruel enough to watch me suffer?"

"In broad daylight, don't think about these things. Since I made a bet with you, let's talk about the time. How about before the formula of dried fish is sold?" Pu Huang rolled her eyes. Just be mentally prepared, and naturally she won't regret it or anything, but she doesn't want to cash in so early, it's too boring, isn't it.

Hong Haoan looked at Puhuang pitifully: "My lady, tonight..."

"Hey, I'll make mung bean soup for you." Pu Huang patted Hong Haoan's cheek, and after turning around, she secretly covered her mouth and smiled.

Hong Hao'an watched Puhuang enter the door, did not miss her small movements, and put away that pitiful expression, showing a loving smile.

In fact, Qin Mo did send his personal servant to tell Qin Wan about this matter, but Hong Haozheng didn't know about it, and Qin Wan didn't mention it to him.

"Miss, do you really want to do what the young master said?" Qin Wan's personal maid asked in a low voice.

"Xiao Ping, don't talk about this matter. Just pretend you don't know. I understand what my father and elder brother think, but I won't be a lobbyist." Qin Wan looked at the blur in the bronze mirror. From the blurry image, one can vaguely see that it is a young and beautiful woman with white skin like snow, but who knows how she managed to escape from that back house by all means?
After finally living a peaceful life, why would she want to break it? Xiaofu is at peace, she is very satisfied, and Hong Haozheng has already planned to take back the shop and no longer rely on the Qin family for business. In this case, why should she feel wronged? Own.

"But what if the young master is angry?"

"So what if I'm angry, it's just that the supply of the shop's goods has been cut off, and the shopkeeper has been taken back. Anyway, the shop is still in our hands. Xiaoping, I don't want to have too much involvement with the Qin family. It was a last resort before. As for Mr. The cousins ​​and sisters-in-law here, don’t get involved in the relationship of interests, just plain things like this.” Qin Wan said lightly, not caring at all.

"Then if the Eldest Young Master sends someone to ask, how should I respond?" There will be a lobbyist for Qin Wan, but I'm afraid they don't pay much attention, and they may not come to ask the result, but there is no harm in getting ready first.

Qin Wan reached out her hand to touch her freshly combed hair, and said lazily, "Let's just say that my cousins ​​and sisters-in-law refused, so I don't dare to disturb you so as not to feel sad at my in-law's house."

"Xiao Ping understands."

More than 200 newly opened pickled duck eggs were left to Hong Haozheng, and the rest were sold out in a few days. This time, more people came to buy the recipe. Some people want to buy finished products, but the couple dare not accept the large order.

After all, many of the original customers are regular customers, and the amount they want is also fixed. It is not good to reduce it for no reason, so that the amount to be allocated will not be too much, so there is no way but to agree and refuse.

Fortunately, the cellar that I asked to help find before finally got a letter. It was the news from Detective Wei, saying that the owner of a place across the alley from them wanted to rent out the cellar. The area was several hundred square meters. It is said that it was originally used as a wine cellar. It was used, but later the family fell into poverty and the wine business stopped, so the cellar was emptied.

Now that they found a suitable place, the two of them would of course have to go to see it in person to be at ease. It happened that Captain Wei was taking a break, so he led the people there.

"Xiaodie, this is the house that your aunt told you about renting your cellar, and now they want to have a look first before negotiating the price." The girl opposite Detective Wei looks about 1.5 meters tall, and she is a bit fat , her eyes are a little shrewd, she has a bun face with a smile, and she looks white and tender, making people want to pinch her.

"Uncle Wei, come in. My aunt told me that I have asked my younger brother to clean it." Feng Xiaodie smiled and nodded, leading the people inside.

This is a huge house, probably divided into several yards, but because of the failure of the family, it has become what it is today. It has not been rested for a long time, and it looks very dilapidated. The original flower beds are now planted. Vegetables and fruits, with writing tools on the side.

Entering the gate is a courtyard. Feng Xiaodie leads the people to the right, it is an alley that can accommodate a carriage, and there is a courtyard with the word "Jiuquan" written on the faded plaque.

"The basement of this yard has been hollowed out to make a cellar, and the entrance is on the backyard side. The temperature in this yard is cooler than other places, and it is a good place to escape the heat in summer." Feng Xiaodie briefly introduced Said, "If you are afraid of trouble, you can rent this yard together, whether it is for living or storing things, it is very suitable."

Go around to the backyard, the entrance is not high, it looks like a pool, there is still water in it, it looks a little green, it can be seen that it has not been cleaned for a long time, press the switch to open the stone door, you need to bend over halfway to enter.

"Big sister, big sister, we're going to clean up soon." Walking down the stone steps, I heard two identical words coming from the empty space, and looking at the oil lamp on the wall, there were two little girls who looked exactly the same. The boy's hair was tied into a small bun on his head, and his face was covered with dust, like two little tabby cats.

Feng Xiaodie half-bent down and patted the heads of the two boys: "Very well done, now you go and play, my sister has something else to do."

After the two boys left, Feng Xiaodie continued to introduce: "You must also know that the temperature in this cellar is lower than that of the outside world, and the area is large. There are shelves near the walls, and a row can hold ten altars and five catties." The wine is very strong, so don’t be afraid that it will collapse suddenly.”

"It's raining heavily, will water come in?" Puhuang mentally scanned around and found a few mouse holes, thinking to plug them up, the air in the cellar is not so good, there is a stale smell, Looks like it hasn't been used for a long time.

"No, for this wine cellar, our ancestors designed a very good drainage system, even the heavy rain last year didn't affect it." Feng Xiaodie shook her head and looked at Puhuang seriously without avoiding her eyes.

"Okay, let's take a look. If there are no major problems, then we can discuss the price." First of all, the area of ​​this place is large enough, and the yard above the cellar is wide enough. Pickled duck eggs can be made here without crowding in the original In the small courtyard, and Detective Wei and Detective Cai all live in this area, there are not many people who dare to make trouble, so the security is relatively high.

Puhuang and Hong Haoan walked around the cellar twice, and Puhuang checked it carefully again, and he was sure that the problem was not serious. He was very satisfied with this place, so he didn't have much to criticize. The price is right, it must be To be rented.

"What price do you think is right?" Puhuang and Hong Hao'an came out of the cellar, while Captain Wei and Feng Xiaodie were already waiting outside. The two seemed to be talking about something, and Puhuang deliberately found some flaws without procrastinating. lower prices.

Feng Xiaodie bit her lip, "Three taels of silver, this cellar has a large area, and the temperature throughout the year will never be higher than the temperature in the cellar now. I know you are going to make pickled duck eggs, this is the most suitable It’s hard to find such a big cellar anymore.”

As if afraid of Puhuang's refusal, Feng Xiaodie spoke quickly and anxiously, her hands on her sides were slightly clasped because of nervousness, and her right foot was grinding the ground back and forth interestingly.

"This yard and the cellar, three taels, is already a very high price. After all, there are not many people who need cellars, otherwise you wouldn't rent them out until now." The price was just within my estimate range, After all, it was Captain Wei who met and introduced him. Pu Huang didn't want to bargain, but she wanted to save face, right? Of course, she didn't want to embarrass the three siblings either.

Feng Xiaodie was silent for a moment, "OK, then let's sign the contract, and you can move the things over tomorrow."

Pu Huang nodded, "Come on, Hurry up, Captain Wei, you can just be a witness, and, Miss Feng, if you have other requests, please tell me, such as this yard and cellar, which places need to be paid attention to and protected? "

Pu Huang didn't know how Feng Xiaodie became the head of the family, but Pu Huang wanted to make sure that she knew her yard well.

"There are a few points about the cellar, and they are not particularly troublesome. I will explain to you in detail later." Feng Xiaodie nodded, and finally had some income. Three taels of silver solved her urgent need.

"Now that the cellar is rented, how do you plan to stay here in the future?" There was nothing urgent to do, and the two simply walked back.

"Besides, let's clean up the house first. I plan to buy some spices and medicinal materials. If they ship by sea, I'm afraid that the price of these things will increase." Hong Haoan frowned, with a vague guess in his heart.

Puhuang suddenly thought of regional medicinal materials and spices. It is true that if the sea is opened, trade will be carried out, and while economic development will be promoted, price rises will be inevitable.

"That's right, then you are going to go, and I will leave the cleaning to me. In the past few days, I will send those pottery jars over and start collecting duck eggs." The things have been delivered, which is convenient and trouble-free.

"By the way, Aunt Qiu didn't say when Xiaolian Xiaofeng will go back?" Hong Hao'an suddenly remembered this. The siblings have been here for more than a month, and there have been many changes, at least not to the worst. .

"Aunt Qiu said it depends on what they mean, it should not exceed the Dragon Boat Festival."

"That means there are still about three months. That's a long time. I'll go talk to Dashu and the others later, take care of the siblings and let them get to know each other better."

　I got motion sickness gorgeously today, but fortunately the mountain is not high...
