Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times
Chapter 165 Haisheng
"Why? Are you going to give some of the Chi family's share to my Chen family?"
As he spoke, he covered half of his face with his fan and leaned closer to Du Wenxiu:
"How much can you get? Half?"
Du Wenxiu moved aside calmly with a faint smile on his face.
"Master Chen, what you said is not true. Many people, apart from those who sow seeds in the fields, even those who have idle labor at home, want to go up the mountain to dig some wild vegetables and bamboo shoots and sell them to us in exchange for some money."
"Before, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to sell them, so I didn't dare to buy more. Now if word gets out, I'm afraid the people who come to sell them will break down the door of my workshop."
"Then it all depends on what Master Chen thinks. If we sign the contract in the next two days, we will have a clear mind and can take advantage of the last few days to harvest the wild vegetables on the mountain."
"Well, what else is there to say? Sign, sign right away. But what about the price?" Chen Wenjuan just realized that the price had not yet been discussed.
"Master Chen, your worry is unreasonable. We are all familiar friends. How can we cheat you? We will pay you according to the price of the Chi family."
Du Wenxiu said this in a gentle voice, and Chen Wenju laughed and fanned himself upon hearing this. He urged them to quickly draft the contract, and he would be able to pay the deposit right away.
His impatience made Du Wenxiu and the others feel a little amused and helpless. There was nothing they could do but to treat it as a joke to appease the child.
Du Wenchan immediately went to the accounting office to write the deed, and several people waited on the side while drinking tea.
I saw Chen Wenju looking at Du Wenchan from time to time, as if he was dissatisfied with her writing speed and wished he could do it himself.
Du Wenxiu asked again: "There is one detail that I need to discuss with Master Chen."
"Speak." Chen Wenju kept his eyes on the contract and kept an eye on the progress.
"I wonder if the pickles sold by Master Chen's family need to be stored in jars of the same style? To differentiate them from those sold by other families."
"Yes, the most important thing is to distinguish it from the Chi family's pickles." Chen Wenju picked up the tea and took a sip. He frowned slightly but said nothing.
"In this case, we can make jars of different sizes, with more delicate designs and smaller sizes, so that we can highlight the style of Chen's Restaurant."
"Ms. Du is absolutely right. We can also make some new varieties and supply them exclusively to my Chen's Restaurant." Chen Wenju closed the fan and clapped his hands.
"Yes, that's right. I wanted to ask you, Master Chen has traveled a lot and has seen a lot, has he ever eaten a kind of fruit called 'watermelon'?"
Du Wenxiu asked tentatively, but saw Chen Wenju raised his eyebrows and said in surprise:
"Mrs. Du also knows about 'watermelon'? That thing is very expensive."
Seeing that he seemed to have eaten it before and knew where to buy it, Du Wenxiu was overjoyed and asked repeatedly:
"Yes, Master Chen, have you eaten it before? Where did you eat it? Can you still buy it?"
Chen Wenju smiled and sat up straight. "Madam Du, you have asked the right person. My third brother introduced me to a merchant who travels to the Western Regions. He is in the capital right now."
"Oh, that's a coincidence. If we have watermelon, I'm afraid the new pickled vegetables that Master Chen wants will be available right away."
"Oh? Really?" Chen Wenju also became interested. "But these watermelons are very expensive. I only got two last year, and I paid 600 coins for each one because we know each other. I heard the price will go up this year."
Du Wenxiu's face seemed to glow again, and he nodded heavily:
"As the price of raw materials increases, the selling price will naturally increase as well. Chen's Restaurant should not sell cheap goods in order to be worthy of the distinguished guests who dine there."
"Great!" Chen Wenju clapped his hands and felt that he and Du Wenxiu got along better and better.
"That's right, Madam Du, don't worry, I will go to the city in person tomorrow and invite the merchant and you over."
Du Wenxiu nodded repeatedly, his brows full of joy.
After so many days, there is finally good news.
After signing the contract, Du Wenxiu hurriedly asked someone to invite the store that supplied the jars to come and order a new batch of samples, requiring that the patterns and patterns must be of high quality.
Afterwards, he and Du Wenchan reorganized the raw materials that had been collected, and returned home after everything was settled.
From a distance, they saw A Luo holding the child and looking around at the door. When he saw them coming back, he trotted over to greet them.
"Oh, you're back. The child is hungry. He won't drink even after a few mouthfuls of rice soup. I just squeezed some goat milk for him to drink to fill his stomach. Now his stomach is deflated."
"You are too cruel as a mother. You won't be gone for a day. Even if you have almost finished the conversation, you should come back. At least think about your children."
Du Wenxiu let her nag without saying a word, got off the carriage with a smile, and took the child from A Luo's hands.
Then he smiled and said to A'Luo: "Good Auntie, I understand. Next time I will definitely not be away for a whole day and let the child go hungry again."
Seeing that she admitted her mistake with a good attitude, A Luo calmed down, followed her home with a pout, but didn't say anything else.
Du Wenxiu looked down at the baby in her arms. She put the baby's pink little fist in her mouth, biting it with saliva, but the baby didn't cry or make a fuss.
With his eyes half open, he babbled something but I couldn't tell what he was saying.
After two lifetimes, she had her own child for the first time, but he lost his father when he was born.
Du Wenxiu couldn't help but have tears in her eyes again.
"Good boy, even if I take care of you alone, I will definitely be able to raise you well."
The child looked half-dead when he was born, and she didn't even give him a proper name.
Normally, A'Luo just called him "baby" and "egg" casually. Du Wenxiu felt mixed emotions when he heard that.
"Aunt, since his father's name is Fang Hai and he's gone now, why not call him 'Haisheng' as a nickname? We can give him a formal name when he starts school."
It's easier to pronounce than names like "waer" and "daner".
A'Luo responded happily. Since he could think of naming the child, it seemed that Du Wenxiu's heart was finally alive. He was no longer like a walking corpse like before, with only an empty shell left outside.
The reason why he didn't take a famous name was that Du Wenxiu still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, thinking that maybe Lu Fanghai would come back one day and give him this opportunity.
However, I can only wait for you for four or five years.
If she hasn't come back after four or five years, I will choose a good man to marry and let my child take someone else's surname and become someone else's son.
Du Wenxiu secretly became angry and made a decision.
Chen Wenju acted quickly. In just three to five days, he made a round trip from the provincial capital, but the news he brought was not very good.
"Well, the merchant who travels to the Western Regions heard that it was someone from our Dongxing County who wanted to discuss business with him, so he refused to come and wanted to leave immediately."
Chen Wenju seemed to be exhausted. He took the teacup offered by A Luo and drank it in one gulp, without even having time to wipe the sweat off his forehead.
"I tried my best to persuade him to wait for me for a few days, but he only gave me three days. Come on, Madam Du, pack up and follow me to the capital to meet him."
Having said that, he didn't care about being rude and went up to grab Du Wenxiu's arm, which frightened A Luo so much that he hurried forward to stop him.
"Master Chen, please respect yourself!"
