The next morning, Xie Jiaojiao got up early.

After packing up briefly and eating the breakfast prepared by Sun Ruhua, he prepared to go out.

Xie Zhiyi called Xie Jiaojiao and whispered in her ear, "Sister, can you buy me an embroidery needle when you go to town today?"

Xie Jiaojiao looked at him: "Don't we have one at home?"

Xie Zhiyi shook his head: "There is only one at home. I want to bend it and take it to go fishing with Brother Niu."

Xie Jiaojiao touched his head: "It's winter now, are you still fishing?"

Xie Zhiyi acted like a spoiled child, and Xie Jiaojiao had no choice but to nod: "Okay, I'll bring it back to you when the time comes."

Sun Ruhua urged, "Why are you still dawdling? Your uncle Li's ox cart will be leaving soon."

"Leave now."

Xie Zhiyi sent Xie Jiaojiao to the gate of the courtyard. When he saw that she had gone far away, he turned around and went home.

"What did you just say to your sister?"

Xie Zhiyi put his hands behind his back, like a little adult: "This is a secret."

Sun Ruhua smiled and picked up the basket to go out: "Mom is going out for a while, the rice is in the pot, you can scoop it out and eat it yourself."

Xie Zhiyi saw the incense, candles, money and paper in the basket and knew that she was going to worship her father again, so he said, "Mom, come back soon."

Sun Ruhua went out with her things.

When they arrived in town, Xie Jiaojiao went straight to Qingfeng Tower with her basket.

As soon as he saw her coming, the waiter immediately shouted, "Boss, Miss Xie is here!"

In less than a moment, Shopkeeper Chen came out with a smile.

"Thank you, Miss. You are finally here. If you don't come again, I will have to go to your house to find you."

Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Manager Chen, long time no see. I brought some things with me today and I want to do business with you."

Shopkeeper Chen immediately became interested.

Xie Jiaojiao removed the cloth from the basket, revealing the brown sugar inside.

“Is this brown sugar?”

Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "We made it at home, Shopkeeper Chen, please try it."

Shopkeeper Chen looked at her in surprise: "You can also make brown sugar?"

Xie Jiaojiao didn't answer. She took out the small knife she carried with her, cut a little, and asked Manager Chen to taste it.

As soon as the candy entered his mouth, Shopkeeper Chen's eyes lit up: "This is so sweet!"

Xie Jiaojiao nodded. This batch of fruits were indeed sweeter than the ones grown in the mountains last year because they were grown with great care at home.

"Last time I heard that Manager Chen's boss runs a grocery store, so I wondered if this thing could be sold in your boss's store?"

"Girl, do you want to cooperate with us to sell together? Or do you want to sell to us by quantity?"

When Xie Jiaojiao heard this, she immediately replied, "All right!"

Shopkeeper Chen stroked his beard and thought for a moment, "How many are left at home, Miss Xie?"

Xie Jiaojiao thought about it and replied, "Less than 300 kilograms."

"so much?"

Xie Jiaojiao nodded, thinking that the shop of Shopkeeper Chen might not be able to accept so much, but she heard Shopkeeper Chen say: "If there are so many, Miss Xie, please sell them to our shop according to the quantity. This will be more suitable for you."

Xie Jiaojiao nodded. This was the best way. She could get the money all at once and use it to do many things.

In that case, Shopkeeper Chen gestured to Xie Jiaojiao and invited her to go upstairs.

Xie Jiaojiao followed him upstairs, and Manager Chen went to get writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone.

Although brown sugar is a relatively expensive product, the price is basically fixed in the market. It is less than 300 kilograms, which sounds like a lot, but it is not enough for their shop to sell.

Therefore, he could decide to buy the thing directly.

After the contract was drafted, Manager Chen mentioned the price.

"You decide. I don't know the price of brown sugar in the market, but I believe you won't cheat me."

Hearing her say this, Shopkeeper Chen immediately assured her: "That can't happen. I've been doing business for so many years. If I didn't have this little bit of integrity, I would have ruined my employer's reputation long ago."

Xie Jiaojiao nodded.

Shopkeeper Chen thought for a moment and said, "In that case, I will buy brown sugar from you at a price of two cents per kilogram. Do you think that's appropriate?"

Two cents? She only sold it for two cents last year!

"Sure!" Xie Jiaojiao agreed immediately. After signing the contract, Xie Jiaojiao said, "Boss, my batch of soy sauce is ready. If you are free in the next few days, you can arrange for someone to come to my house to pick it up."

This is what makes Shopkeeper Chen happy the most: "Okay, then tomorrow, I will arrange for someone to go there and collect the brown sugar and fermented bean curd. I wonder if Miss Xie's family will still make it this year?"

Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "Yes."

Shopkeeper Chen ordered ten more jars.

Since the purpose of coming here has been achieved and a business deal has been made, Xie Jiaojiao did not stay for long. Shopkeeper Chen prepared some snacks for her. Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Then this piece of brown sugar I brought today will be a gift to Shopkeeper Chen."

This made Manager Chen feel embarrassed.

Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "You've given me so many snacks! Tomorrow, I'll be waiting for you to arrange someone to come over at home."

After saying this, without waiting for Manager Chen to refuse, he put the snacks into the basket and walked away with it.

Shopkeeper Chen looked at the big piece of brown sugar. Seeing the waiter looking at him, he smiled and said, "Cut the brown sugar into pieces. When we close the shop tonight, share some and take them back for your families to try."

The waiter was very happy after hearing this! Since it was still early and there were not many customers in the restaurant, he went to the backyard to get a knife and prepared to divide the food.

Shopkeeper Chen had nothing to do now, so he just joined him, one cutting it while the other wrapped it in oil paper.

When Jiang Weinan and his two followers came in, they saw them busy.

When Shopkeeper Chen saw Jiang Weinan, he immediately put down his work and asked, "What would you like to eat today, young master?"

Jiang Weinan glanced at the waiter, pointed with his fan and asked, "What are you doing?"

Shopkeeper Chen pointed at the brown sugar on the table and said, "Look, Miss Xie just came and brought some brown sugar. I plan to share some and leave it for the shop assistants..."

"Xie Jiaojiao has been here?" Jiang Weinan interrupted him.

Shopkeeper Chen nodded: "Just now, I left and you guys... Hey, Master, where are you going? What are you going to eat for lunch..."

Jiang Weinan had already turned around and walked out, and his two followers immediately followed him.

When I arrived at the town entrance, I saw Xie Jiaojiao next to the ox cart.

Xie Jiaojiao was curled up, dozing off against the side of the ox cart. The family had been very busy in the past few months, and she was a little tired. She always felt like she was still sleepy, so she took advantage of this moment of free time to take a rest.

Xie Jiaojiao, who had her eyes closed, suddenly felt a shadow in front of her. She opened her eyes with a frown.

I saw Jiang Weinan in front of me and his two followers behind him.

I suddenly felt speechless. I hadn't been to town for several months, and as soon as I got here I met someone I didn't want to meet.

"Master Jiang, I'm not in the mood to play catch-up with you guys today. If you have anything to say, just say it. I'm listening. But if you want to catch me and beat me up, I definitely won't agree..."
