The two elderly people also had a grandson who looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old. At their request, Zhao Shiying bought the man away.
When Zhao Guocheng was about to leave, Li Zhongren quietly pulled him back.
"Hey, brother, where did that old guy you bought last time go? It can't be..." Li Zhongren stared, thinking that he couldn't be dead, but then he thought that this family didn't seem like the kind of owner who would mistreat their servants.
"Isn't that it?" Zhao Guocheng pointed at Old Man Tai who was admiring the surrounding scenery not far behind him.
Li Zhongren stared. This... this... is the crazy old man from before, but he doesn’t look crazy anymore.
Ouch, what a big loss!
"Are you sure? He's not crazy anymore?" Li Zhongren asked in shock, speaking a little unsteadily.
"I don't know whether he is crazy or not, but he hasn't been crazy since he came to my house. He is quite easy to get along with." After saying this, Zhao Guocheng got on the ox cart and left.
Li Zhongren was left standing there, disheveled in the wind.
Is this the crazy old man he is talking about? He has never been crazy? Then why doesn't he smash things, act crazy and scare people dozens of times a day, making everyone restless? Then he is not a crazy old man.
Li Zhongren couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it and sent back the people he had called out earlier.
"Oh, we still have to buy bedding, quilts and other things?" Zhao Shimin reminded.
"Yes, we have to buy them, otherwise we will have nothing to cover ourselves with at night." After saying this, Zhao Guocheng drove to buy quilts, bedding, etc.
Anyway, this new family also needs to buy bedding.
They soon arrived at the place selling quilts. There was one advantage Zhao Shiying had when buying things: she only liked to buy more, not less. The most important thing was that the more she bought, the better discounts she would get.
So he asked the servant to bring in ten new quilts, which were 70% new and used as mattresses underneath.
I don’t have time to make it today, so I bought some ready-made ones. They look very clean.
When they arrived at the place, the shop had not been cleaned yet, so Zhao Guocheng asked the three new people to start cleaning the back rooms.
Zhao Shiying was tired, so she sat down to rest and ate some pastries, but her mind was racing.
After the rooms in the back were ready and the beds were made, Zhao Guocheng selected a row of rooms to be reserved for their master's family, and the rooms in another row were reserved for guests and servants.
This distribution is quite good.
There are two rows of four rooms in the back, and although they are not big, they are fine for living. One row is slightly larger, with a room that Zhao Guocheng plans to use as a warehouse to store things. There is also a kitchen, and an area connected to the kitchen for storing firewood. Although it is not big, it can hold a lot of firewood.
There are also four shops in front, but because they are all together, you can't really tell them apart if you don't look carefully. You would just think they are two or three large shops.
The mother and daughter who were hired to help clean the shop also came to help clean the remaining rooms, as well as the kitchen and courtyard.
Although the movement is slow, the cleaning is very thorough.
At this time, the kitchen was cleaned first, and Zhao Guocheng went out to get the rice, grains and vegetables that he had bought when he came back to buy the quilt.
Now they were sent to the kitchen together, letting Mrs. Yang cook, while Old Man Yang did some moving work and helped with firewood.
Their grandson Yang Fan also helped to pack up. In any case, no one stopped to rest and they all worked.
Mrs. Yang’s cooking is delicious and most importantly, it’s quick.
After the rice is cooked, I start to pick and wash the vegetables. There is just enough space for one pot to cook rice and one pot to stir-fry the vegetables. As for stewing the soup, it will be too late at noon.
After Zhao Guocheng settled the money with the mother and daughter, they left.
It was time for dinner. As soon as Zhao Guocheng returned to the kitchen, he smelled the fragrance of food. He was just hungry.
"Dad, we're back. We knew you were in the shop right away." Zhao Shihui ran in with a smile on his face, and pinched his little sister's face when he saw her.
Zhao Shiying had to slap her face twice before she turned it back to normal.
Although the action was a bit funny, it pleased Zhao Shisheng and Zhao Shihui.
The two of them laughed non-stop and wanted to pinch the younger sister's face again, but this time Zhao Shiying refused.
"Dad, my second brother bullied me." Zhao Shiying conquered Zhao Shihui by complaining.
He didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of his father.
Before Guocheng could turn around, Zhao Shihui ran off to eat.
After lunch, Zhao Shihui and Zhao Shisheng went to rest, and they still slept in the same room.
After dinner, Wang Haiming began to visit the houses and shops outside. When he saw the design drawings drawn by Zhao Shiying, he was really shocked.
I have to praise this well-behaved granddaughter.
Zhao Guocheng took Zhao Shiying, Wang Haiming, Zhao Shimin and Old Man Yang to buy an ox cart.
This ox cart was specially driven by Old Man Yang. Old Man Yang loved it very much and never thought that one day he would own such a brand new ox cart.
The first thing Zhao Guocheng did after buying the ox cart was to ask Old Man Yang to take the drawings drawn by Zhao Shiying back to Guxian Village.
After explaining the general route, Old Man Yang set off. He probably wouldn't be back until the next afternoon.
In this way, Zhao Guocheng solved a problem.
In the afternoon, I finish all the unfinished work and tidy up the shop.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye, and today, the third day of March, is the examination day for Bailu Academy.
Zhao Shihui and Zhao Shisheng were already prepared and put the prepared things in the basket. Zhao Guocheng drove the ox cart to take the two of them to the gate of Bailu Academy, and he and Wang Haiming watched them go in.
Zhao Shiying also started to get busy, looking for suppliers everywhere. Unexpectedly, some daily necessities were even cheaper in this county. As for calligraphy and paintings, books, pens, ink, paper and inkstone, Zhao Shiying did not get them because there was an Egret Academy in the county, and the students here were somewhat self-righteous. If she put books, pens, ink, paper and inkstone together with food and groceries, she would definitely be sneered at and made sarcastic remarks by the students who came in to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone.
Zhao Shiying didn't want to cause trouble for herself. This was not a village, but a county town.
Her grocery store mainly sells food and daily necessities. Zhao Shiying has already designed it, so she can just put the items in the cabinets when the time comes. All the items from her own workshop must be put up there.
After visiting and negotiating with many companies in one day, they finally decided on two suppliers. The price was the lowest wholesale price. After all, they were looking for workshops that produced these products, similar to those large wholesalers. Zhao Shiying felt that they were cheaper than those in the town, so there was no need to worry about not making money.
After signing the agreement and agreeing on a date for delivery, Zhao Guocheng and his companions set off. After a day's run, they returned to their residence. Zhao Shiying didn't want to do anything and fell asleep after eating.
Zhao Guocheng and Wang Haiming went to pick up Zhao Shisheng and the other person. The exam lasted for two days, and today was the first day.
After returning, Mrs. Yang cooked a lot of dishes, and everyone at the table enjoyed the meal happily.
