Sister Han is good at farming

The next day, before daybreak in the east, Mr. Ruan came over with the Ruan Wanjin brothers.

There was no time to eat, everyone carried bamboo baskets and baskets and headed for the town. The hurried footsteps of Ruan Qingqing and her group broke the silence that had settled all night.

The slightly cool morning breeze blew in her face, bringing some comfort to Ruan Qingqing. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked into the distance with determination in her eyes.

As long as all the bamboo hairpins are sold this time, their family can build a nice brick house. Then, they don't have to squeeze into the shabby and cramped old house.

Ruan Qingqing and his party arrived at the county when the sun was high in the sky. If they had not rented a carriage from the town, they would have arrived even later.

"Let's go to Fugui Restaurant to look for the second brother first. He should be at work now." Old Master Ruan was so shaken that his internal organs were dislocated. Now he just wanted to sell all the things quickly and go back early.

No one disagreed. It was just that the road was too bumpy and everyone's face turned pale from being bumpy.

When Ruan Wanyin heard that someone was looking for him, he was a little confused. But when he saw that Mr. Ruan and the three brothers Ruan Wanjin were all there, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately lifted his clothes and took a few quick steps outside.

"Dad, eldest brother, third brother, fourth brother, what happened at home?"

Perhaps because Ruan Wanyin stayed in the house for a long time, his skin was fair and there was not a single wrinkle on his face, which made him look a bit like a handsome middle-aged uncle.

"Second brother, we made some small things at home. Do you have any familiar bosses or suppliers to recommend?"

Mr. Ruan asked casually as he handed over the bamboo hairpin and the box.

After looking at the bamboo hairpin, Ruan Wanyin pondered for a while.

"There are a few merchants who come to the restaurant frequently recently, but I don't know if they would appreciate the bamboo hairpins you make."

"Second uncle, could you please help introduce us? We can just negotiate with the merchants ourselves." Ruan Qingqing said.

"you are?"

Ruan Wanyin looked at Ruan Qingqing in bewilderment. Because he didn't often live in Zaoziling, he couldn't quite tell the difference between Ruan Qingqing and Ruan Ping.

"I'm Qingqing."

"Second brother, Qingqing makes sense. Would you mind introducing someone to us?" Old Master Ruan said.

Ruan Wanyin nodded and said, "Dad, I'll go ask and try."

Soon, Ruan Wanyin came out and said that the merchant wanted to see the goods.

"Qingqing, you and your father can go over and talk with the samples! We'll be outside helping to watch over the backpacks and baskets." Old Master Ruan said directly to Ruan Qingqing.

Ruan Qingqing did not refuse. She nodded, then followed Ruan Wantie and Ruan Wanyin.

They went up to the second floor and stopped outside a private room. After getting permission, they pushed the door open and went in.

Sitting in the room was a young man in an indigo brocade robe, about twenty years old, with an aristocratic air. He had deep eyebrows and a faint smile on his lips, but that smile froze for a moment when he saw Ruan Qingqing.

"Accountant Ruan, is this the craftsman with the novelties you recommended?"

"Yes. Qingqing, please show the sample to Mr. Wen!" Ruan Wanyin ordered.

Ruan Qingqing nodded, stepped forward steadily and handed the bamboo box to the attendant standing beside her, then stepped back a few steps respectfully, "Master Wen, please open it and take a look."

Wen Chunwen nodded almost imperceptibly to his followers.

The attendant understood and opened the woven bamboo box. After seeing that everything was fine, he presented it to Wen Chunwen.

Wen Chunwen picked up the bamboo hairpin with his slender fingers, looked at it carefully, and said nonchalantly, "It is quite delicate and elegant." As he spoke, he threw the hairpin into the bamboo box, without raising his eyebrows, "How much do you want for it?"

"A single bamboo hairpin is one hundred coins, and a bamboo box and a bamboo hairpin together are three hundred coins." Ruan Qingqing said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Ruan Wantie felt the doubtful look from Wen Chunwen and swallowed, "Mr. Wen...Mr. Wen, my family's affairs are all decided by me, a girl."

Wen Chunwen withdrew his gaze with understanding.

He picked up the tea, skimmed off the foam with the lid, took a sip, moistened his throat, and said slowly, "As far as I know, a copper-wrapped silver hairpin is only two hundred coins. Your price of one hundred coins is too expensive!"

Ruan Qingqing straightened her back, looked directly at Wen Chunwen, and spoke slowly: "I understand the copper-covered silver hairpin that Master Wen mentioned. It has a single style and is just a hairpin handle, with little material.

Our bamboo hairpin not only has a finely carved hairpin handle, but also a hairpin buckle with bright or elegant colors. More importantly, it is novel and unique in style. In addition, bamboo is one of the four gentlemen, and wearing bamboo accessories is an elegant thing! Isn't this enough to make it worth the price?

If Master Wen is willing to package them, or even make up a moving story for them, they can be sold for ten taels of silver, not to mention a hundred coins. "

Wen Chunwen put down his teacup after hearing this and stared at Ruan Qingqing with a deep look in his eyes. After a long while, the corners of his lips rose and he smiled slowly, "I didn't expect that the girl, at such a young age, is so knowledgeable about business."

Ruan Qingqing bowed to him and said, "Master Wen, thank you for your praise. I just want to sell my craft at a suitable price!"

"What a great idea! It's all about selling your craft at a suitable price!" Wen Chunwen laughed approvingly. "Okay, just for what you said, young lady, I'll buy all of them."

"There are a total of one thousand bamboo hairpins and two hundred bamboo boxes."

Wen Chunwen nodded and turned his head to instruct the follower standing beside him.

"Huaisheng, go and settle the bill."

"Yes, Master!"

The follower named Huaisheng responded and led Ruan Qingqing and others out.

After counting the goods, Huaisheng paid the money readily.

After the payment was made, Ruan Wantie couldn't help shaking his body, "Oh my god! That Mr. Wen's aura is so overwhelming that I can hardly breathe."

Ruan Wanyin glanced at him and said, "Look at how useless you are. You are not as capable as your Qingqing!"

Now he finally understood why his father had emphasized letting his niece Qingqing go. Then he thought about Ruan Qingqing's performance from beginning to end. She knew when to advance and when to retreat. She was calm and not timid, and her thinking was quick...

Even though he has known countless people, he couldn't help but sigh: "The young are to be feared!"

"Dad, eldest brother, third brother, fourth brother, it's a rare visit for you, why don't you come to our house for a meal?" Ruan Wanyin invited them hurriedly when he saw everyone packing their backpacks and baskets.

"Next time! There are a lot of things to do at home during the spring plowing season!" Mr. Ruan refused directly.

Ruan Wanjin and his brothers also said they would do it next time.

Ruan Qingqing quickly stuffed five taels of silver into Ruan Wanyin's pocket and said, "Second uncle, thanks to your help today."

Ruan Wanyin was unwilling to accept it. "Girl, why do you need this when your family is helping you? You are being too distant with your second uncle."

Ruan Qingqing pushed it again, "Uncle, this is a gift from my father to my second brother and his friends. You can't refuse it. Even though I'm not going home, the thought must be there. Right, Dad?"

"That's right! Second brother, don't refuse!" Ruan Wantie was still dizzy at the moment. When he saw Ruan Qingqing looking at him, he nodded hurriedly.

In this case, Ruan Wanyin could no longer refuse.

"You little girl! Then your uncle would like to thank you on behalf of your second brother and the others!"

"You're welcome. Second uncle, please come back to your hometown when you have time to have a few drinks with my father." After jumping onto the carriage, Ruan Qingqing waved to Ruan Wanyin.

"must!"

In the evening, when Ruan Wanyin handed the five taels of silver in his sleeve to Zhang, Zhang was still a little confused.

"Boss, it's not payday yet, is it?"

"This was forced upon me by the eldest daughter from the fourth family," Ruan Wanyin explained.

"What? Did I hear it right? The fourth brother and the others would give you money? In the past, when Shifei and his brothers went back to their hometown, they never gave you a penny. What's wrong with them today that they would rush to give you money?" Zhang was a little unbelievable.

Ruan Wanyin then recounted what had happened in the Fugui Restaurant that morning.

"There is such a thing? If Qingqing is really as powerful as you said, the fourth brother's family is probably not far away. But that girl is very generous. She immediately gave you, the second uncle, five taels of silver as a fee for running errands." Zhang glanced at Ruan Wanyin with a teasing look.

Ruan Wanyin's face turned red with embarrassment. "As the second uncle, I don't have the nerve to ask for any errand fee. That girl gave it to me under the pretext that it was a gift from the fourth uncle to Shifei and the others. So I can't refuse it."

"This girl is smart and capable!" Zhang praised.
