Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!
Chapter 33 Big Sale
Because Xu Wenyan found that the crabs had started to dig holes yesterday, he planned to catch them again today.
The date we agreed on yesterday can only be postponed to a day later. I guess there won’t be much time left if we go tomorrow.
Things were pretty much as Xu Wenyan had thought. The fog in the mountains this morning was heavier than usual, but Xu Wenyan's clothes hadn't been sewn yet...
It’s not that he is lazy, he is just too busy with this and that every day and really has no time to do anything. Today, when he was frozen by the fog, Xu Wenyan could feel how cold this winter could be.
It seems unrealistic to sew clothes by himself, so he has to find someone to help him. After much thought, only his second aunt Wang is the most suitable. Originally, he thought of old lady Zhang, but she is a little old, and sewing clothes requires eyesight, so it is better to leave it to the young Wang.
As for the other women, Xu Wenyan didn't know many of them.
After returning at noon, Xu Wenyan carried three crabs and went to Zhou Jianye's house again.
"Mrs. Sanlin, are you looking for the head of the family? He is not at home today and went to the county early in the morning." When Wang saw Xu Wenyan walking towards her house, she hurried over to greet him.
"What is Second Uncle doing in the county?"
Wang's eyes darkened. "It's all my fault. After I built the house according to your method, my ankle didn't hurt as much. All the money in the family is used to buy medicine. The head of the family is going to work in the county to supplement the family income."
Xu Wenyan nodded slightly and raised the crab in her hand: "Aunt, I came to see you."
"Looking for me?" These farmers usually visit the head of the family, so why would they visit a woman like her now?
Wang was deeply puzzled: "What are you doing to me?"
Xu Wenyan handed the crab in his hand to Wang Cuijuan and said straight to the point: "I want my aunt to make four winter clothes for our family. But the men in our family are not very good at sewing." Xu Wenyan scratched his nose embarrassedly.
Wang Cuijuan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that he was here to help make clothes, and smiled: "Oh, what did I think it was? It's just making clothes. Just give me the fabric, and I'll make you a nice pattern." Xu Wenyan is considered the best-looking man in Jixiang Village, but he is a little thin.
The nice style suits him better.
Although rural women don't like him, he suits the taste of women in the county. After Xu Wenyan went to the county several times, many women secretly looked at him.
"It's not in vain for my aunt to work like this. Here are sixteen cents for you. Thank you for your trouble!" After saying that, Xu Wenyan put down the money and ran home.
Wang Cuijuan didn't react for a moment: "Sanlin's wife, you gave too much." For women like them, it is considered good if they can put two cents in their pockets a month, and it is winter, and there is little work or even no work at all.
It's just making a piece of clothing. All the girls in the village can do it. They can earn sixteen cents just by making clothes at home. The wife of the Sanlin family is really stupid.
Xu Wenyan went home and took the fabric and asked Xiaohua and Xiaodong to help him go again with the sewing kit. Wang Cuijuan felt that they gave too much, but Xu Wenyan felt that they gave too little. After all, in modern times, it would cost at least hundreds or thousands of dollars to customize a piece of clothing.
That's still four pieces.
Wang Cuijuan couldn't refuse, so she just let it go. After all, they were relatives, so she could just treat it as her nephew and his wife showing filial piety to her.
After returning home and eating, I had to go up the mountain to move the crabs.
He left home before dawn the next day, and this time Xiaohu followed him.
There were six baskets of crabs in total, one of which was a small basket. The three of them had put all their efforts into looking for them over the past two days. They did not stop looking this time and turned over every stone in the stream.
The profit is not high.
After getting off the car, Chen Sanlin carried one basket on his back and held the other in his arms, Xiaohu could only carry one basket, and Xu Wenyan had a hard time carrying the small basket but he still managed to carry it to the Baihua Tower.
The waiter at Baihua Tower recognized Xu Wenyan and came out to greet him happily.
"Hey! You're finally here, little brother!" The waiter said as he took the backpack from Xu Wenyan: "You don't know how popular these crabs are in our Baihua Tower!"
Looking at the waiter who was grinning from ear to ear, Xu Wenyan knew that this trip was not in vain.
Xu Wenyan just smiled and looked towards the counter. Unfortunately, it seemed that Zhao Mei was not in the store today. The waiter yelled, and the accountant came out from the kitchen: "Young man, why are you here only today?" The accountant said with a wry smile.
"Haha, something delayed us, so we brought some extra things." Xu Wenyan pointed to the four backpacks at the back.
The accountant took a look and shook his head: "Not enough, not enough."
"Don't worry, sir. There are two more baskets in the back. My brother and younger brother have already gone to get them." Xu Wenyan still smiled gently. If this deal was successful, he could buy charcoal.
After thinking about how many crabs there are in these baskets, the accountant shook his head and said, "It's still not enough. What's your name, young man?"
Obviously, this is because of the benefits gained and the Baihua Tower has taken it a little more seriously.
"Just call me Xu Wenyan."
"Brother Xu, you've caused me so much trouble. We had an appointment yesterday, but you didn't show up. Our boss thought I failed in the negotiation and almost deducted my wages." The accountant described it vividly with a bitter smile on his face.
"Haha, it's indeed my fault. I apologize to you here."
The accountant saw that Xu Wenyan's words and actions were gentle and refined, and he didn't look like a farmer's man at all. He must have studied for a few years.
He just waved his hand and said, "It's okay, just send it over."
After a careful count, there were a total of 1,207 pieces in the six baskets, and the total price was 850 yuan. The accountant said it was a good omen to round it up.
"Brother Xu, please make sure you come on time tomorrow." Ever since we promoted the steamed crabs the day before yesterday, paired with the side dishes prepared at our restaurant, Mr. Liu enjoyed the dish so much that he ordered fifty of them.
The VIP rooms on the second floor obviously heard the noise and were all well-off, so they bought some out of curiosity to try.
This fresh taste is widely praised by them, especially the crab meat that is peeled directly and eaten, which gives them a full sense of accomplishment. They are tired of eating chicken, duck, and fish all year round, so this new taste is just right to satisfy their cravings.
Xu Wenyan sold more than 200 chickens that day, and they were sold out in just one hour. At that time, Xu Wenyan also left the instruction board behind, which made customers feel it was very innovative. Many of Baihualou’s popular dishes were sold that day.
"Sir, there may not be any tomorrow." Xu Wenyan said with a little regret.
Hearing this, the accountant was a little flustered: "Ah? How could it be? These crabs are doing very well, so why are they not selling anymore?"
Xu Wenyan shook his head: "It's not that we don't want to sell them, it's just that the weather is cold now and the crabs don't go out. They all stay in their holes and can't be moved out. This may be the last batch of goods.
We were one day late for this reason. I suggest you raise the price appropriately and indicate that it is the last day for seasonal crabs. "
The accountant also sighed helplessly.
"But don't worry, sir. We will check again tomorrow and send it over the day after tomorrow if there is any." Xu Wenyan comforted.
"That's all that matters."
Xu Wenyan felt much better after receiving the eight taels and five hundred coins. After all, who would go against small amounts of money?
Just as they were leaving, the shopkeeper next door also saw Xu Wenyan. He had already heard the news that his arch-rival Baihualou had been doing booming business in the past two days.
All this was caused by those hairy crabs. I guess he was the guy who sold crabs.
When the shopkeeper saw it, he remembered that a few days ago, the waiter from his own restaurant had a quarrel with him and kicked him out. Otherwise, how could such great wealth belong to the Baihua Tower?
Now the more I look at the waiter in the store, the more I dislike him. But since things have happened, there is nothing the shopkeeper can do to change anything. He can only feel jealous when he sees Baihualou making money.
Xu Wenyan, who had just come out, weighed the silver in his hand and walked straight towards the coal shop with two bodyguards on his left and right.
But not long after he left, he was stopped by a figure.
