Chapter 28 Boss Qian comes to buy donkey-hide gelatin

Cheng Feng groaned and called the fool, "Silly, little fool." He shouted over and over again. The fool raised his head and said, "Don't even think about whether my waist and legs should hurt." Everywhere hurts."

Cheng Feng quickly said: "What about tonight?"

The fool glared at Cheng Feng and said, "You're really far ahead with your calculations."

Cheng Feng rubbed the fool's head and said, "Just say it's okay?"

The fool gave an affirmative answer: "No."

In this cold weather, it will be very uncomfortable if you don't get enough sleep. The stall business is as good as ever, and it's clear what sells well and what doesn't.

At this time, a guest came, whom both Cheng Feng and Fool knew.

The fool said warmly: "Shopkeeper, are you here to buy something?"

This person is the boss who sells milk to them. He is a nice person and will always give them a cheaper price.

The man said: "I have passed by here several times and saw that your business is good."

The fool immediately said: "No, it's good for a while. Let's buy some melon seeds and popsicles. I don't buy much."

The man suddenly laughed: "I just came to take a look, not looking for trouble."

The fool smiled and said, "My melon seeds are pretty good. I'll give you a pack."

No one seems to be a good person to her lately. The tall and thin shopkeeper is also dressed differently from them. He is wearing a long gown, not clothes and trousers like theirs. Such clothes are worn by rich people and are very sophisticated. , no one in the village is dressed like this, this is the gap between rich and poor.

The fool picked up a bag of melon seeds and handed it to the man. The man took it and said, "What are your donkey-hide gelatin and snowflake cakes?"

The fool found a few pieces to try. Not everyone was given a taste, but only those who had bought her things and thought they could buy them. She handed it to the shopkeeper and said, "Try it." .”

The shopkeeper had already read the introduction she wrote. He reached out and took the donkey-hide gelatin and snowflake cakes handed to him by the fool, put them in his mouth and tasted them carefully. He pointed to the introduction on the wrapping paper and said: "This word is Did you ask someone to write it?"

Many people here are illiterate and cannot write, and the number of people who can read is very limited. If they want to write a letter, they have to find someone who can write for them. If the recipient is illiterate, they have to find someone to read the letter.

Cheng Feng said: "I didn't ask anyone to write it, it was written by Xiao Sha."

The shopkeeper said: "Who is the little fool?"

Cheng Feng said: "My wife."

The shopkeeper said, "Who is your wife?"

The fool looked at the shopkeeper and thought about your eyes. How could you manage such a big shop with your eyesight?

Cheng Feng was speechless. He could only point at the fool with his chin.

The shopkeeper's jaw dropped in shock. He looked at Cheng Feng, then at the fool, and then said, "Are you husband and wife?"

Cheng Feng said: "It doesn't look like it?"

The shopkeeper said: "I used to think you two were brother and sister. My sister wants to drink milk. You take her to my place to buy it. She is not very old, is she twelve?"

The fool thought to himself, was he so young? The marriage certificate said that he was sixteen.

Cheng Feng said: "I'm sixteen, but I'm a little too small."

In fact, in the shopkeeper's opinion, these two people don't look like a couple. One is too tall and the other is just a child. And if you look at Cheng Feng's face, it must be long and long, with long eyebrows and long chin. He has a long chin, a very resolute face, and a rare look of wealth.

Look at this little idiot again. He has seen her before. Her whole face can only be seen with one pair of eyes. There are countless severe frostbites on her face, as well as on her hands. He has never seen her say anything before, so she knows. nod.

No matter how you look at it, they cannot be a couple.

The fool raised his head and said, "Am I too small?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "You can still grow taller if you drink more milk."

Then the shopkeeper pointed to the words on the package and said, "Your handwriting is good, strong and powerful, and your skills are solid."

The fool said politely: "Thank you."

She didn't know what the shopkeeper was here for, and it didn't look like he was here to buy anything. She could only wait for the man to speak.

The shopkeeper asked Cheng Feng and Fool: "Did you make this donkey-hide gelatin?"

The fool said: "Everything we sell is made by ourselves, including donkey-hide gelatin."

The shopkeeper said: "How much does your donkey-hide gelatin cost?"

The fool said: "This pack costs one or two silver. This stuff is a great supplement. It's best for women. You don't need to eat more every day, just one piece is just right."

The shopkeeper said: "How much donkey-hide gelatin do you have?"

The fool said: "I still have a lot at home, can I do it again?" The fool now treats everyone as a big customer and never misses any opportunity.

The shopkeeper said: "Is it easy to sell here?"

The fool said: "It may take a few days to sell it."

The shopkeeper said: "Do you mind if I buy them all and sell them in my shop for a higher price?"

The fool said, "I don't mind. I can keep supplying you. It's just one tael of silver per bag. I won't be jealous even if you sell it for ten taels."

The shopkeeper suddenly laughed: "You are so smart, no wonder you have found such an outstanding husband."

The idiot immediately looked at Cheng Feng. What else could he do besides look better? At this time, the corners of Cheng Feng's lips were obviously raised. The idiot took one look and went back to business. She said to the shopkeeper: "I I only brought [-] bags today, can I deliver them to the store for you now?"

The fool brought eighty packs here because he hoped to meet a big customer and buy a few more packs at a time, but this is what happened.

The shopkeeper said, "Send them all over. How many do you have at home?"

The fool said: "There are still about two hundred bags. I will bring them all tomorrow or wait for you to sell them for a few days. But now is a good time to sell New Year's goods. If you can't sell them, you have to tell me in advance. I’m just pointing to this month of the year before, don’t let me leave those two hundred bags at home.”

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "You are not a big guy, how can you be so smart? I won't want it. You will send it to me tomorrow. Today's eighty pack is eighty taels. I will pay one hundred taels first." You can send the rest tomorrow and we’ll figure it out later.”

The fool nodded and said, "Okay."

The boss added: "But you can't sell donkey-hide gelatin to others anymore."

The fool thought about the two hundred taels of silver and agreed. She nodded again and said, "Okay."

Isn't it just a monopoly? This donkey-hide gelatin may not be easy to sell on a street stall.

The shopkeeper took out a one hundred tael silver note from his clothes. She didn't recognize the banknote. She looked at it for a long time and handed it to Cheng Feng. Cheng Feng didn't touch the banknote either. He looked at it front and back again. , the shopkeeper said with a smile: "My surname is Qian, everyone calls me Boss Qian, and there is a bank next door. If you want to fake it, go find me."

Anyway, they could find Boss Qian's shop, so Cheng Feng collected the banknotes, packed up eighty packages of donkey-hide gelatin, and sent them to Boss Qian's shop.

Cheng Feng actually went to the bank in order to distinguish the authenticity. He showed the banknote to the boss of the bank and said, "Is this banknote real?"

The boss of the bank said: "It's true. Do you want to exchange it for silver?"

Cheng Feng shook his head and said, "If you don't want to change it, I'll ask if it's true."

Then Cheng Feng left. He returned to the stall and said to the fool: "I went to the bank to ask, and the bank note is genuine."

The fool nodded and said, "It's more convenient to hold the banknote."

Cheng Feng said: "Let's go back after selling it for a while."

The fool nodded, because the two of them knew very well that they did not have two hundred packs of donkey-hide gelatin at home, and at most thirty packs. The cooked duck must not be allowed to fly.

The two of them went to see Uncle Chen pushing their things early. When Uncle Chen saw them, he said, "Are you going back so early? You haven't sold so many things yet?"

Cheng Feng said: "Go back early today, Idiot is a little uncomfortable."

Uncle Chen looked at the fool and said, "What's wrong, fool?"

The fool could only pretend to cough and say, "I'm a bit cold and I'm going to catch a cold."

Uncle Chen said: "Then let's go back quickly. If you are serious, you won't be able to leave the stall in the next few days."

As soon as Uncle Chen turned around, he punched Cheng Feng. The blow was weak and light, and he cursed in his mind: "Why didn't you say you weren't feeling well?"

Cheng Feng turned around and carried her into the carriage.

As soon as she got home, Juanzi went there. She came to see Cheng Feng. She heard others say that Cheng Feng had returned from Uncle Chen's carriage. She stood at the gate and called Cheng Feng.

The fool looked at Cheng Feng and said, "Your sweetheart is here, why don't you go and see her?"

Cheng Feng was lighting the fire, so he had to get up and go out to take a look. He stood at the door and said, "Juanzi, why are you here again? You should come to my place less often in the future."

Juanzi said: "Why can't I come? It's because you are married to a fool, right? You never bothered me when I came here before. I didn't come here today to ask for furniture. My brother is getting engaged. Didn't you agree at that time?" Do you want me to give you twenty taels first? Lao Ma's family is here to ask for the bride price, you should be rich now."

Cheng Feng gave Juanzi the twenty taels of silver he had prepared. He said to Juanzi: "This money is not a gift for me to marry you, and you don't have to pay it back to me. Don't look for me again in the future."

Juanzi cried immediately: "Why can't I come to you? Do you not want to marry me?"

Cheng Feng said: "As I said last time, I can't afford to marry you, so you should find someone else. The twenty taels of silver I gave you today was not earned by me. It was the hard-earned money earned by a fool setting up a stall."

Juanzi wiped her tears and said, "What about her money? How can she be allowed to eat and drink here for free? Her money is your money, and your money is my money."

She didn't wait for Cheng Feng to say anything else, turned around and ran away.

The fool didn't expect Cheng Feng to come back so soon. She looked at Cheng Feng's unhappy face and said, "What does she want here today?"

Cheng Feng didn't say anything. The fool said with a smile: "Let me guess, it should be her brother's gift, right?"

Cheng Feng nodded and said, "I gave it to her."
