Chapter 132 A country woman is still a country woman after all
"I'm just thinking of asking shopkeeper Tian to help me find a paving workshop in the town."

After Xiuniang finished speaking, she sat aside with a smile, looked at shopkeeper Tian, ​​and waited for his reply.

Shopkeeper Tian had no expression on his face. After thinking for a while, he called a waiter and asked him to bring two cups of hot tea.

The guy responded and took away the empty teacup in front of Xiu Niang.

Shopkeeper Tian looked at Xiu Niang, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law just said that I want to find a noodle shop in the town. It's not difficult."

Xiu Niang listened, and adjusted her sitting posture to look at shopkeeper Tian, ​​relying on Xiu Niang's own understanding. Usually, after saying "what" is not difficult, a "but" or "but" will definitely be added after it.

Sure enough, Shopkeeper Tian spoke up again, "But..."

Xiu Niang raised her eyebrows. Seeing that shopkeeper Tian had nothing to say with the long voice, she took over for him, and said carelessly, "But what, oh, shopkeeper Tian, ​​you've finished talking, this noodle After eating the food, half of it was hung on the mouth, half of it was scratched at the throat, and I couldn’t spit it out or swallow it, it was really uncomfortable.”

Shopkeeper Tian frowned when he heard Xiu Niang's vulgar words, and then said with a smile, "But, I just don't understand something, and I want to ask my sister-in-law..."

This time the guy from earlier came in, he was holding two cups of hot tea, one was placed in front of shopkeeper Tian, ​​and the other was placed in front of Xiuniang, he chatted with shopkeeper Tian and went out.

Shopkeeper Tian glanced at Xiuniang, picked up the teacup, and smiled, "Sister-in-law, this is old tea from years ago, and this year's new tea hasn't come out yet, so we'll drink it first."

Xiu Niang thought about the time, and said, "Hey, Shopkeeper Tian, ​​I'm just a farmer's wife, and I can't drink new tea or old tea. Didn't you just ask me something? Hurry up, I can't wait to see the sky." early."

There was a bit of impatience in her talking tone, she had just waited for the shopkeeper Tian for a long time, how could she go to find Chu Geli if she kept on talking, they both made an appointment to go to the Yuanmu shop earlier We are meeting.

Shopkeeper Tian is a scholar who pays attention to politeness when speaking and doing things. He smiled, "Since my sister-in-law said so, then I will be blunt."

Xiu Niang took off the lid of the tea, picked it up and drank it directly to shopkeeper Tian, ​​"Oh, tell me, what's the trouble?"

Shopkeeper Tian looked at Xiu Niang's directness in speaking, and was taken aback for a moment, wondering what happened to this little sister-in-law today, she seemed to be a different person, she was so rustic, she was like a country.

He secretly showed a little disgust, otherwise, this countryman is petty, he has only been in the town for a few days, and he can't bear his temper, showing his true colors.

Although shopkeeper Tian thought so, he still smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, it's really refreshing, but I'm happy to deal with sister-in-law like this, haha..."

"Earlier, my sister-in-law told me how to grow Erbao vines, but she just wanted me to help you find a paving workshop in the town. In fact, this paving workshop is not difficult to find, it just takes some time, little one." Sister-in-law can make up her own mind, so, you can plant Erbao vines to buy and sell, and at the same time, come to find a house, wouldn't this kill two birds with one stone, why do you..."

Xiu Niang waved her hand, and said in a rough voice, "Hey, hey, shopkeeper Tian, ​​I'll stop you first, what you said, told me to search for a house while pounding Erbao vines, hey, what is this?" Speaking of which, I don’t have a place to live in the town, and I only come to the town once every now and then, so what’s the shopkeeper Tian telling me to do, I can’t even find the right way.”

Shopkeeper Tian pretended to smile, and said again, "That's right, what my sister-in-law said is true, but sister-in-law, you have a good life in the country, why do you want to open a shop in the town?"

Xiu Niang chattered and babbled out what she had thought up earlier, the expression on her face was the same as that of those bad-mouthed women in Xiayang Village who found someone to talk about right and wrong.

"Hey, shopkeeper Tian, ​​to tell you the truth, I live off the Erbao vine in the village, but it's just the last one. My man's brother is back. Aren't his brothers separated, okay? Well, my man and his brother directly brought their children and daughter-in-law to live in my house..."

She babbled a lot, and shopkeeper Tian became a little impatient to hear it. He didn't want to listen to the old woman gossip.

"Sister-in-law, if you're okay..."

"Oh, but what about shopkeeper Tian, ​​my man and his brothers just have nothing to do. Their family is so good that they don't work, and they have to rely on my husband and wife to support them. Oh, I'm tired of working in the field. Working hard, basking Erbao vines in the sun, the money I get is just serving their family!"

Shopkeeper Tian finally felt something when he heard this, his heart flickered, he calmed down, and talked to Xiu Niang.

"Oh, so that's the case, sister-in-law, are you planning to build a shop in the town so that your relatives can come here to do business?"

Xiu Niang curled her lips, and cast a glance at shopkeeper Tian, ​​"I'm not, I'm not such an easy person to bully, I discussed it with my man earlier, and told him to find a guarantor in the village, and the two brothers took that The land is divided, we live ours, they live theirs, and when I sell the land and move it to the town to do business, I will stop serving his brother's family."

Shopkeeper Tian pretended to understand, and nodded while talking, "Oh, so my sister-in-law is looking for a shop in the town, and she wants to do business by herself, um, not bad, not bad, good idea."

Although he praised Xiuniang on the lips, he despised her very much behind his back. He thought this woman was beautiful and smart, but when he saw her today, he felt that this woman had a good appearance, and she was just like a small family. , Only seeing the scene in front of me, it is not normal to be short-sighted.

He originally wanted to take this woman into his house, thinking that he would be able to help him manage the pharmacy, but... well, a country woman is still a country woman after all, and she can't stand on the stage.

He pretended to be chatting with Xiuniang, always boasting about what she did right, but he just murmured in his heart that if this woman was really smart, she would ask her uncle to plant Erbao vines with her, and her sister-in-law would help dry it and make it. It won't be long, and the money earned will buy up a few houses.

But that's fine, if it wasn't for this ignorant country woman, he still wouldn't be able to find this good way to make money. The Erbao vine alone would save a lot of money.

Seeing shopkeeper Tian's uncontrollable smile, Xiu Niang knew that the fish had bitten the bait, she smiled, "Oh, it's not bad, I think, I go to the town to open a shop and do business, and the money is not much more than that." You earn less money by smashing Teng Erbao vines."

Shopkeeper Tian smiled, and thought about it, "Hey, sister-in-law, you just said that you are looking for a shop shop, so what kind of business is the sister-in-law thinking about?"

When he asked this, he meant to tell Xiuniang that he would help her find a workshop. Anyway, he didn't want to deal with this country woman who had never seen the world anymore, so why didn't he agree to forget it and figure out the method of planting Erbao vines first? Let's talk when we get it.
