Chapter 157 Hello
Chapter 157 Hello
Su Jiuyue asked politely.
"What's the matter?"
The old woman sighed.
"Alas... a few days ago, my good-for-nothing son brought two sheep, and the cook in the mansion couldn't cook them."
The old woman frowned. The mutton was so fishy that it was really hard to eat.
"But he said that they had spent a lot of money to get it from the West, and it would be a pity to throw it away."
"Miss Su can cook even the extremely smelly water worms so deliciously, so I wonder if you can bring the sheep over for you to cook?"
The old woman looked at Su Jiuyue cautiously.
It seems that Suwei mainly sells crayfish. I don’t know if it’s abrupt to bring up this issue.
But if you don’t eat the mutton, it will go bad!
My son said that it cost several hundred taels of silver to transport this sheep, and it would be a shame if it was wasted like this.
Su Jiuyue frowned in embarrassment.
"This……"
Although she had the idea of cooking private dishes on the second floor, she didn't expect to start business so early.
Crayfish are on the rise these days.
She thought of waiting to accumulate popularity and then slowly introduce new dishes when crayfish is almost out of season.
The kitchen is busy these two days, so if I agree to this, it might be a little difficult...
Seeing her hesitation, the old woman thought for a moment and said.
"Miss Su, if you agree, you can only use this mutton for one meal tomorrow, and the rest will be yours!"
"It just so happens that tomorrow is my mother-in-law's birthday, and I plan to host a banquet for some good friends here."
Su Jiuyue was obviously moved!
Mutton was hard to come by in this era, at least she had never come across it in the market.
How much mutton can you use to cook a meal? That’s two muttons!!!
This deal can be done.
Before she could even open her mouth to agree, the old woman continued to increase the bid.
"Su Cainu, rest assured, I won't let you suffer any loss. How about I pay another 100 for the labor fee?"
The son bought this mutton specifically to honor his grandmother.
It would be a shame if it was wasted because it was not done well.
Their family is not short of money, so they just need a talented girl to do it.
A mere one hundred taels, not worth mentioning.
"Okay, old lady, I'll ask someone to go to your house to get the mutton. You can come over tomorrow afternoon."
Su Jiuyue simply agreed.
There are always more solutions than problems. If you don’t make money when you have it, you’re a bastard!
It just so happens that this old lady is obviously of high status.
The guests at tomorrow's banquet will definitely be some prominent figures.
Do it with all your heart and also consider it as publicity for the future.
When the old woman saw Su Jiuyue agreed, she thanked him happily.
Su Jiuyue called Iris and Lan Euan and went to the old lady's house to get the mutton.
Before leaving, Iris whispered something in Su Jiuyue's ear.
"My dear, the strange guest who exchanged a hairpin for crayfish yesterday is here again..."
Su Jiuyue's face darkened and she walked towards the cashier area.
It turns out to be that handsome guy!
When the man saw Su Jiuyue, his brows lit up with joy!
"Hello, Boss Su~"
Su Jiuyue looked at him.
"Hello, guest. What time is it today?"
Xiao Laoer touched the back of his head naively.
"Hey, it's because the crayfish made by Su Wei tastes so good. My brothers didn't eat enough, so they asked me to buy some more!"
Su Jiuyue smiled slightly.
"Sir, you came at the right time. We were just about to close. If you were any later, you would have missed it."
Xiao Laoer laughed.
"This is not a delay for someone."
He said while spreading out his palms.
Su Jiuyue's eyes flashed and she looked at him.
Xiao Laoer pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly.
"I was thinking of pawning the money at the pawn shop and then coming here to buy it, but it's getting late now and I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time if I go back and forth."
"Boss Su, are you willing to trade with me again?"
Thinking of how he was scolded yesterday, Xiao Laoer added another sentence.
"But this hairpin is made of gold, so I definitely can't just exchange it for a meal. Maybe you can give me some silver?"
The corner of Su Jiuyue's mouth twitched.
"Do you think this is a pawn shop?"
And I give you money? What are you thinking?
However, for the sake of gold, Su Jiuyue still took a step back.
"Well, I'll cover your dinner for a month. You can pick it up yourself every day, or you can leave your address and I'll have someone deliver it to you."
"You don't have to exchange weird things with me for food every day. What do you think?"
When Xiao Lao Er heard this, his eyes lit up and he agreed immediately!
"Okay! Sure! I promise!"
They had never been down the mountain, so they didn't know the price of gold or the value of the hairpin.
But once he made it reasonable, he realized that for the brothers to eat at Suwei, it would cost at least two taels of silver every day.
That’s sixty taels a month.
Sixty taels for a hairpin seems to be about the same.
Besides, Suwei’s food is not cheap, and it might cost more than two taels.
I can eat Suwei for a whole month, just thinking about it is wonderful!
Su Jiuyue took the hairpin and asked Kikgeol to pack food for him.
As usual, he went upstairs to make a feint and took down an agreement.
……
When I got home, Lin Qingqing came out to greet me immediately.
"Yueyueyueyue! Come and see!"
He grabbed Su Jiuyue and walked towards the side yard.
Su Jiuyue looked at her helplessly.
"What are you doing? I'm so tired every day. There's still work to do later. Can't you let me rest?"
Although I have practiced ancient martial arts, my body is much better than that of ordinary people.
But being busy all day long is really a bit too much.
Lin Qingqing stopped and spoke to Su Jiuyue mysteriously.
"I brought that Xia Yuwei back..."
Su Jiuyue raised her eyebrows.
"Is she still working in the dental clinic?"
Although this little girl was unconscious, she looked pretty good.
It hasn’t been sold for so long?
Lin Qingqing pulled Su Jiuyue away again.
"No, it took me a lot of effort to find her!"
Lin Qingqing chattered non-stop as she walked.
"She was sold to Gaoshan Village by Wang Mazi, a pawnbroker, to be a concubine of a man whose wife had died."
"The man who bought her was a gambler. He owed a gambling debt and had no money to pay it back, so he pawned her to the gambling den."
Lin Qingqing's voice sounded a little angry.
"Yueyue, you don't know, I went to Gaoshan Village first, and then chased from Gaoshan Village to the gambling house."
"Who knew that the gambling house sold her to Xinghua Village again! She is a widower from the village of Shen."
Su Jiuyue couldn't help but be surprised.
"Oh? Xinghua Village?"
Lin Qingqing replied: "That's right, I also secretly inquired about it, and the Shen family is really miserable now."
"She can't get out of bed. The family has no money to treat her. It is said that the whole family blames her for causing trouble. They just give her some water to keep her alive every day."
"Tsk tsk, it's true that every evildoer will be punished by his own evil..."
After saying that, he also arrived at Xia Yuwei's door.
Lin Qingqing pushed the door open and walked in.
Su Jiuyue listened, feeling extremely calm, and followed in.
The affairs of the Shen family no longer caused any ripples in her heart.
Xia Yuwei was sitting on the bed.
Compared to when I saw her at the dental clinic, she looked much more haggard.
I have lost weight visibly to the naked eye.
His expression was still idiotic, and he didn't react at all when he saw someone coming in.
Su Jiuyue waved her hand in front of her eyes, but she didn't even blink.
Lin Qingqing sighed softly.
"Ah... With her condition, it might be difficult to get anything out of her..."
