Chapter 20
"The restaurant was in a bit of a slump before, and you might not be satisfied with the prices they offered, but don't worry, they've come around now, and they're still collecting mushrooms at the original price. What do you think?"
Mingxiu neither agreed nor disagreed. He pointed at the remaining mushrooms on the stall and said, "These are the only ones left today. If the shopkeeper doesn't mind, just take them away."
Shopkeeper Xu thought she had agreed, and quickly went over to check it out. He felt that the quality was not as good as the ones sent before. However, the restaurant really couldn't wait any longer. Their mushrooms had been doing well in the past, and they had gained a number of customers.
, I heard that the restaurant opposite has also begun to look for Mingxiu. If he is poached at a high price, then all his business during this period will be in vain.
If possible, shopkeeper Xu even wanted to sign a contract with Mingxiu, asking Mingxiu to only sell mushrooms to him in the future.
But obviously, the previous price reduction had offended Mingxiu. In order to prevent him from completely pushing it to the other party, shopkeeper Xu could only raise the price back to the original standard, and wait until the relationship between the two parties eased before talking about anything else.
Fortunately, Mingxiu is not a full-time mushroom farmer. She doesn't have many mushrooms in her hands. It is more than enough to eat them all in a restaurant. Mingxiu doesn't have time to pick more mushrooms for her.
Shopkeeper Xu took all the mushrooms back while thinking about how to capture Mingxiu so that she could have a stable supply. This would be the best for the restaurant.
After the others left, Xie Zhan looked at the woman beside him and said, "You are quite brave. Aren't you worried that your attitude will offend him?"
Although Shopkeeper Xu is nothing in Xie Zhan's eyes, the shopkeeper of a restaurant is already a very important status to the Ming family. Shopkeeper Xu can run a small restaurant into what it is now, which shows his skills.
Not vulgar.
Judging from the exchange just now, he doesn't look like a gentleman.
If he offended him, even Shopkeeper Xu didn't have to do anything. He only needed to reveal a little bit of displeasure towards Mingxiu, and people would naturally come to look for trouble.
For the current Ming family, any trouble would be fatal.
Mingxiu is a smart man, so he shouldn't have thought of this.
"He won't." Mingxiu turned back and glanced at the town entrance, "Shopkeeper Xu loves money. Obviously, he has benefited from the mushroom business. If we don't tell him now, we will do the same business without him.
It will only oppress us even harder next time."
And if they fall out at that time, then they will really have a deadly feud.
Now it's just a little test to let shopkeeper Xu know how powerful it is, so that the cooperation can continue.
Furthermore, Mingxiu only regarded mushroom picking as a side job, and had no intention of doing this long-term business. As long as he could make a little money to supplement his family income, as for the real livelihood, it still depends on the income from the fields.
In just one day today, the Ming family earned about 120 cash from the melons, fruits and mushrooms on the stall. Of course, the bulk of it was still on the mushrooms, of which 80 cash was contributed by shopkeeper Xu.
One hundred and twenty Wen didn't seem like much in the town, but for the Ming family, it was enough for them to have no worries about running out of rice for a while.
This is already very good, at least Ming's father and Ming's mother are satisfied.
"If this continues, it will take a long time to repair the house." Xie Zhan said. He was not thinking about the Ming family. More importantly, he didn't want the next time it rained to be like the last time.
I was soaked in the rain.
"Take your time, earn some money in the past few days and let dad repair the roof. It must be able to withstand at least part of the rain. We won't be so embarrassed next time it rains."
Mingxiu is also anxious about building a house, but she knows that it can't be rushed. It will be good if she can save enough money by the end of this year and start building a house early next year.
In the short term, unless she finds someone to take over Chili, building a house this year should be impossible.
But except for Xie Zhan, no one is worried about this matter.
Although Xie Zhan did not express his disdain for the poor conditions of the Ming family, he had grown up pampered and well-off, and now he had no choice but to live here. He naturally wished for better living conditions.
But no one paid attention to what he thought. Although the Ming family took him in and treated him fairly well, after all, Xie Zhan was not a member of the Ming family, and his opinion was the least important in the family's decisions.
On the contrary, Mingxiu's opinion is the main thing.
"Dad, you can bring back some thatch tomorrow, and my mother and I will go to the town and set up a stall."
"Xie Zhan, come with you."
Ming's father proposed this not only because he had hard feelings in his heart, but more importantly, it was probably not safe for Mingxiu and Ming's mother, two women, to go to town alone.
Although the security in the town is pretty good now, it's best to be careful in everything.
For Ming's father, nothing is more important than his family now.
Mingxiu shook her head, "Let Xie Zhan stay at home and help you repair the house together. Our family won't trouble others."
This was said in a polite way. To be honest with the people in the village, Mingxiu didn't trust anyone coming to help her home. Aunt Niu was one of the people in the village who was kind to the Ming family, but she still didn't care after what happened.
Without hesitation, suspicion was cast on the Ming family, and other people, Mingxiu, did not dare to gamble.
Apart from Ming's father and Ming's mother, the only one who can work in the family is Xie Zhan.
"But you two..."
Ming's father knew that his daughter's words made sense, but... he was still afraid of not being safe!
"How can someone commit murder in the street in broad daylight? My mother and I went to town through the same tunnel. There are a lot of people, so nothing will happen to us. Don't worry."
Although Mingxiu no longer has hope in the enthusiasm of the people in the desert country because of the bumpkin village, nor does she expect anyone to come to help her and her mother if they encounter any danger, but when there are many people, in addition to being anti-social,
Generally speaking, people with good personality will be afraid of evil people.
Mingxiu didn't think she was that unlucky.
Ming's father was speechless, "Okay, but you must be careful."
To put it bluntly, Ming's father is still worried that Mingxiu's temper that can't bear to be wronged will cause some trouble in the town. Although if they really meet, there is no possibility of turning around even if he is here, but he can still help in the end, and in his heart
Also feel more at ease.
"With me following our girl, what else do you have to worry about?"
