The beginning of the counterattack! The time-traveling boss is famous in Beijing

Manager Zhang looked at the backs of Qin Ruo and his group, snorted coldly, and turned around to continue inspecting the ingredients.

Most wealthy families and restaurants in Taihe County have fixed suppliers.

The food those country folks brought was not small. Who except Fu Manlou could finish it all at once?

If I come back to him and ask him to buy it back, the price won’t be this one.

Manager Zhang was certain that Qin Ruo would not be able to sell the goods and would definitely come back to him.

He has already prepared himself mentally on how to humiliate and suppress the other party.

After Qin Ruo and the other two left Fumanlou, Qin Zimu's excitement about selling the mushrooms so easily was gone.

He said to Qin Ruo gloomily, "Sister, our things are obviously good. It's obvious that Manager Zhang is deliberately making things difficult for us."

Zhou Dazhu continued, "I saw that Zhang Shishi, and his words seemed to be asking for benefits."

Qin Ruo gave Zhou Dazhu a look of approval.

Of course she understood what Manager Zhang meant. Before Qin Ruo could say anything, she was stopped by a rapid call from behind.

"Miss Qin, Miss Qin, please stay."

I saw the waiter from Fumanlou celebrating his birthday and running forward hurriedly.

Qingsheng first looked back vigilantly, and after finding nothing unusual, he led Qin Ruo and others to a hidden corner.

Then he whispered, "Miss Qin, I just saw you in the kitchen urging the dishes to be prepared, so I quickly found a chance to come out."

"Mr. Chen of Fu Man Lou was transferred a while ago. Before he left, he specifically told me to let you know if you come."

After saying that, Qingsheng glanced at the heavy baskets on Qin Ruo and others' backs and sighed again.

"The ingredients you brought just now were underpriced, right? Ever since Manager Zhang came, he has replaced all the merchants and farmers who used to supply rice and ingredients to Fu Man Lou."

"Fu Man Lou is no longer the same Fu Man Lou as before. Even our employees are having a hard time. Miss Qin, you should make plans as soon as possible."

Qingsheng looked embarrassed and spoke cryptically.

"Thank you for celebrating my birthday, brother. I understand."

They wantonly suppressed vegetable farmers and cooperative merchants, abused their power, and enriched themselves.

Qin Ruo immediately understood several layers of meaning.

She smiled and thanked him for the birthday celebration.

Qingsheng waved his hand, told Qin Ruo that he couldn't be out for too long, and hurried back to Fumanlou.

Qin Ruo was not in a hurry either, as she would not be willing to sell it if the price was too low.

At worst you can keep it for yourself, and if you can’t finish it you can pickle it.

As for making money, we'll just think of another way.

After exiting the alley, the group walked along the busy street and slowly returned to where the vendors had gathered before.

After Qin Ruo and his companions put down their backpacks and arranged the things, they were just about to shout a few times.

A maidservant dressed in fine fabric came up quickly with a little maidservant who was about thirteen or fourteen years old.

The nanny didn't say anything. She squatted down and looked carefully at the things in front of her, nodding repeatedly as she looked.

The nanny’s surname is Zhang, and she is the personal nanny of the old lady of the Xie Mansion in Taihe County.

The old lady had been weak since the beginning of winter and had developed a cough. She had a poor appetite and was in poor spirits.

Nanny Zhang has been so anxious and irritated lately that blisters have formed at the corners of her mouth.

So, she came out in person with her maid Mingyue. She wanted to find something new for the old lady to try.

She walked through several streets but couldn't buy what she wanted. In the middle of winter, there were few people selling game.

There are many wealthy families in Taihe County, and many of them can afford to eat game.

So basically, as soon as they were put on display, they were sold out.

Nanny Zhang searched several streets but couldn't find what she wanted to buy.

When he was disappointed, he happened to see Qin Ruo and others selling game.

Pheasants and rabbits are nothing, but what is rare is the roe deer meat.

Aunt Zhang was very happy and casually asked about the price.

"How do you sell this wild food, little girl?"

"A pheasant is 120 wen each, a hare is 200 wen, and this roe deer is 2 taels of silver. What do you think?"

When Qin Ruo saw the dress of the nanny in front of her, she knew that a big customer had come, and the price she quoted was also the price she learned along the way.

When Nanny Zhang heard this, she thought the price was reasonable, so she took all of Qin Ruo's things.

In addition to eating it themselves, they gave it to the Zhou family and coachman Uncle Yang, which had been sold in Datong Township before.

The remaining five pheasants were sold for 600 coins, and the four wild rabbits were sold for more than 800 coins.

The roe deer was sold for two taels of silver according to the original price.

So Nanny Zhang gave the money very happily and didn't even bargain with Qin Ruo.

After paying the money, Nanny Zhang asked Qin Ruo to follow her and deliver the things to Xie's house.

The old lady and the young masters in the mansion all love to eat game, which is hard to come by in the middle of winter.

Qin Ruo quickly packed up the backpack, took Qin Zimu and Zhou Dazhui and followed the nanny forward.

After crossing several busy streets, Nanny Zhang stopped at the side door of a magnificent mansion.

"Just put the things here..."

"Qionghua, you are busy again! It's normal for me to have some minor health problems at my age. Why are you making such a fuss in such a cold weather?"

A slightly reproachful voice interrupted what Aunt Zhang was saying.

When Qin Ruo looked up, she saw an old lady who looked very noble. She was wearing a dark purple brocade cloak, a crescent-shaped white fox fur scarf around her neck, and golden hairpins in her hair.

Supported by a maid, he was walking slowly out of the door with a few servants.

"Madam, why did you come out? Go back to your room quickly, or you might catch a cold."

"Qiuyue, how do you serve the old lady? I'll only be away for a short while. If anything happens to the old lady, I'll tear your skin apart."

Nanny Zhang didn't care about Qin Ruo. She hurried forward to support the old lady and scolded Qiuyue who was beside Madam Xie.

"Don't scold Qiuyue anymore. It's me... cough, I wanted to come out on my own, cough cough..."

The old lady covered her mouth with a handkerchief, bent over slightly and began to cough violently.

This cough almost made it difficult for me to breathe.

"Madam, Madam...Qiuyue, hurry up and get the palace doctor."

Nanny Zhang looked nervous and yelled at Qiuyue to go get the palace doctor. The servants were also in chaos at this moment.

Faced with this situation, Zhou Dazhui and Qin Zimu looked at each other and stood there at a loss as to what to do.

It was her first time interacting with someone from a wealthy family, and she was afraid that she might anger the noble and cause trouble for Qin Ruo.

So the two of them moved to the side at the same time. Qin Ruo put down the backpack, walked quickly forward, grabbed the old lady's hand, pressed gently on her Hegu point.

Nanny Zhang's face suddenly changed, and she was very angry at Qin Ruo's inexplicable rude behavior.

"You are so presumptuous...

Just as Nanny Zhang started to scold Qin Ruo, she saw that Old Madam Xie's coughing gradually subsided.

Nanny Zhang was not a stupid person. She breathed a sigh of relief when she understood Qin Ruo's actions.

He gave Qin Ruo a look that was both grateful and apologetic.

"I've noticed that the old lady has been coughing for some time. She may also be suffering from insomnia. Pressing this acupoint may help alleviate the problem..."

Qin Ruo said calmly, and after Madam Xie stopped coughing, she took the initiative to step aside.

"Little girl, do you know anything about medicine?"

Nanny Zhang was so overjoyed that her voice became a little higher.
