Reborn Nongmen Merchant Concubine

Chapter 246 Buying Beans

Zhao Xian and Uncle Liu were very calm about what Cheng Qiang said, but they were not calm about the other three women.

Although they have sold themselves into slavery, they still know a lot about some things.That fruit wine has not been around for a long time, but its sales and reputation are good.Let's just talk about the boss there. He usually eats very light food, but he has a soft spot for tea and wine.

Suddenly, I heard that the second master of the Meng family opened a fruit wine shop, and the degree of making money is not... Just thinking about it, they all know how profitable it is.

"Cheng Bo, hurry back when you're done with the things. Uncle Liu and I will go to the town to buy some beans and come back. By the way, we will go to Yuefulou to see Uncle Li. I haven't been there for a long time!"

After Ling Xiaoyu left Buyang Town, it was Mengxiong who usually sent the stewed meat there, and by the way, she asked her father to take the new recipes that needed to be changed every month to Yuefulou. Things, otherwise I would not have gone to Yuefulou.

She was afraid that she would think of certain things after she went there.This is her biggest taboo so far, and even Mrs. Li has noticed it.

She knew that there was a huge gap between them, but some things were destined, no matter how difficult they were, they would break through.

After unloading the things, Cheng Qiang emphasized again: "I will ask you to take care of the girl. If you have anything to do, you must go to Qiushui Village to tell her. The girl is the heart of the lady and the master, so there must be no mistakes!"

Liu Tian walked over and patted Cheng Qiang on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will protect the girl even if the task entrusted by the second son is my old life."

"Uncle Liu, what are you two talking about? We have to go to the town. It's cold and I don't know what's going on in the town. Uncle Cheng, tell my mother when you get home that I'm fine here. She doesn't have to worry, the weather here is not as cold as at home, the weather changes, let her watch more one by one, the child's body will change with the weather."

"Girl, what can Uncle Cheng mutter about, let Lao Liu and the others take good care of you! Don't worry, I will definitely bring your words to my wife, and I will go back first if there is nothing else to do!"

It was only then that Cheng Qiang found out that Liu Tian was also sent by the second son, so he could feel more at ease!
Before going to the town, Meng Yuan asked Granny Li to explain: "Grandma Li, Uncle Liu and I will go to the town to buy beans, please clean up the earthen stove in the kitchen in the east yard, when you come back I need it. Also, ask Uncle Xian to prepare a few more dustpans, and you will have to pick and choose when you come back from buying beans."

To make a good tempeh, beans are the key.Not only do you have to pick out the bad beans, but it also takes a long time during the production process and the temperature must be properly controlled.These three wives were all bought, and the deed of prostitution is in his hands, so it shouldn't be a problem to entrust them to do this job.

Mrs. Li patted her chest to show her loyalty: "Girl, don't worry, you bought our three sisters. Without you, we might still be in Fangfu right now. It would be like this now." There is work to do and wages to be paid! Madam, I promise, when you and Brother Liu come back, you will see a clean and bright kitchen."

With Mrs. Li's guarantee, Liu Tian had already set up the carriage when Meng Yuan went out. This carriage was not as beautiful as the one driven by Cheng Bo, but it was considered good in the whole Buyang Town.

"Uncle Liu, let's go! Arrive at Buyang Town before noon, and let Uncle Li treat me to a good meal."

I haven't been to Yuefulou for so long, I don't know if Uncle Li will blame me.

Because today is not the day to go to the market, Mengyuan asked Liu Tian to drive the carriage directly to the Fang's Rice Grain Store, where the food for the family was bought before, so she still trusts the proprietress's character.

Fang was wondering who gave the carriage to the door of Hengdian, and just wanted to go forward to ask someone to move the carriage, but unexpectedly, the person who came out surprised her.

"Boss Fang, I haven't seen you for a long time. It seems that you are more beautiful. I almost didn't recognize you!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Fang covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled shyly: "Oh, you girl, you said, since the pickled radishes you consigned to me last time were gone, my business has been getting worse day by day. .Why~~ Is this carriage yours? It’s really beautiful, and you are the only girl who can sit in this carriage.”

It is said that people who do business have a mouth that can speak well. This carriage may be unique in the village, but it is not uncommon in Buyang Town.Fang's boasted about her and the carriage so much, she must agree to it no matter what!
"Boss Fang, look at what you said. Didn't I come to see you today? That's right. I'm doing something recently and I need some soybeans. I don't know if you have fresh soybeans just harvested this year. Woolen cloth?"

To do it is to do the best. The fresher the beans, the better the products will be.

Fang didn't expect Mengyuan to turn so fast, she almost didn't say what was in her heart. "Yes, yes, as long as it's what you want, girl, my aunt has everything here. No, this bag was brought over by a farmer this morning. I haven't had time to put away [-] catties of fresh soybeans. You Just come here, can't it be a coincidence?"

Hearing that they were fresh beans, Mengyuan stepped forward without saying a word and tore open the mouth of the bag, grabbed some out and put them on the palm of her hand: "These beans are good, all of them are plump and round, I don't know the lady boss How do you plan to sell these beans?"

As soon as Fang heard this, she knew that the business was likely to be successful, so she leaned on Meng Yuan enthusiastically and said: "Girl, look at what you said, it's not the first day you and auntie have business dealings, and auntie also Don't lie to you, these beans cost five cents a catty, even though they are beans, you can see that the quality of these beans is not high at this price."

Meng Yuan poked the beans in her hand. The appearance was good, but five cents a catty was indeed a bit high: "Miss Boss, look, it's not the first day I've bought grain with you, so you can give me some discounts." Huh? This bean, I want as many as you have, but only the new bean produced this year."

The conditions offered by Mengyuan are too tempting. The autumn harvest has just passed, and every household still has some surplus food. The beans are used as coarse grains in exchange. The beans are rarely used by ordinary people. Except for tofu, who would buy them at the grain store? Soybeans.

"Girl, are you serious? Auntie has a lot of soybeans here. Don't worry, they are all new beans this year. But at this price, I can only give you four cents a catty. The business will suffer.”

"Okay, let's make a deal. Siwen is Siwen. However, I want to look at other beans first. As you said, I only bought them in this year's Xindu." Saving money is one thing, but not for the sake of This penny relationship ruins other beans.

Seeing that Meng Yuan was so forthright, Fang quickly moved out all the beans harvested a few days ago for Meng Yuan to have a look at.

"Girl, there are only three bags here, auntie. Let's see if it's suitable? If it's suitable, we'll weigh it!"

These three bags of beans are at least two hundred catties, which is a big deal!Usually, some neighbors from the town come to her store to buy some rice, the most of which is only a dozen or twenty catties, but now she buys it for a few catties, and it is only Mengyuan.

Mengyuan opened the mouths of those bags, and looked at each bag carefully, even turning up the beans at the bottom to compare with the first bag.It is found that these beans are new beans of this year, both in terms of color and fullness.

"Miss Boss, go ahead, I want all these beans!"

"What? Do you really want it all? Hey, okay, I'll give it to you!"

Fang was still struggling for a while, but she didn't expect that the girl really sold out in the end. "Girl, don't blame my aunt for asking you too much. What are you going to use for buying so many beans? They must all be soybeans. They are all made of tofu. Girl, you started making tofu recently. gone?"

Not to mention that she really forgot that soybeans are the raw material for making tofu! "Miss Boss, you're thinking too much. There are so many uses for these soybeans. You don't have to buy soybeans to make tofu! Hurry up and weigh it. I have something to do over there, and I'm running out of time!"

"Hey, good, that's good, that's good!"

The ancient scales were made of heel poles, and then there was a weight. It took two people to weigh so many beans. Fang asked the young man from the nearby shop to work with his own man to weigh out the beans.

Watching them weigh something so laboriously, to be honest, Mengyuan still misses modern electronic scales.

"Girl, come on, the total is 220 seven catties, and the total is [-] Wen."

Mengyuan took out a tael of broken silver and handed it to Fang Shi, "You don't need to look for it, but please find me some larger pieces of gauze, I can use it."

Fang took the money and was stunned for a while before realizing it, then went to the back and searched to find two pieces of unused white gauze. "Girl, can you look at the gauze? How about I give you some change, auntie? This gauze is not worth two dollars."

"No need, it looks good to me. Uncle Liu, come and help me put all these beans in the carriage."

After putting away the whip, Liu Tian came over, carried the beans into the carriage with bags in each hand, and the other bag was put on by Fang's husband. 】

"Miss Boss, if there are still such good beans in the future, I have to trouble you to keep them for me, and then go to Yuefulou and tell the chef there that he knows what to do."

After completing this big deal, the smile on Fang's face almost buried her small eyes. "Hey, okay, I see!"

After Mengyuan's carriage went far away, Fang's husband asked: "Daughter-in-law, what is the origin of that little girl? It's a carriage again, and it's buying us so many beans all at once, and what's more, that Yue Fu Lou is a big restaurant in our town, so what is her relationship with Yue Fulou?"

"Fuck off, what do you have to do with your trash, hurry up and wash my clothes in the backyard! It's going to be cold today, I don't want my hands to be frozen!"

What is her background, she is a food buyer, what does it have to do with her, if there is a business to come to the door, it is enough to make some money!
