Shen Lingzhu refused directly: "The store wants too much, we can't afford it.

Just pay for this one."

“Five cents isn’t a lot, I know more people than just the families in Shenquan Market.

We're the only ones in the same group, so if someone asks me for an introduction, I'll charge at least ten coins." The shopkeeper regretted not asking for a higher price in the beginning.

"Let's settle the bill." Shen Miaozhu signaled her junior sister not to bargain with him any more.

As a result, the shopkeeper had no intention of paying and insisted that they hand over the bellows to him to sell.

Seeing that he was unwilling to pay, Shen Lingzhu asked Xia Wang to remove the bellows.

The shop owner was naturally unwilling, so he shouted loudly, and the strong man who was chopping wood in the yard blocked the door with an axe.

Xia Wang was startled and quickly tried to protect the two girls behind him, but his slightly frail body was unable to do so.

The second girl, Shen Miaozhu, stepped back, turned around, picked up the oil can, and said, "I can make the fire in the stove bigger."

Shen Lingzhu quickly pulled out a piece of burning firewood from the stove and approached the oil tank under Xia Wang's nervous gaze.

"No, no, no, no, we can talk it out." The shopkeeper stretched out his hand to stop her from moving, and threw a can of oil into the stove, destroying half of his kitchen.

Shen Lingzhu rolled his eyes at him, and did not bring the torch closer to the oil can held by his senior sister, "Why are you doing so much trouble if you just focus on your business?

We have someone outside. If anything goes wrong, do you still want to continue your pickled fish business?"

"But two cents is too low." The shopkeeper didn't expect that the two little girls didn't know how to be scared and threatened him instead.

"If you don't want to do it, then don't do it. My grandpa and uncle will help sell the meat at the market and they won't ask us for a penny." Shen Lingzhu just did it out of habit, wanting more people to buy it.

It’s safest to sell it yourself in the future. Look, I got into trouble both times I asked someone to recommend it to me.

"Butcher stall? Are you Uncle Huang's granddaughter? The daughter of Master Chi, the second master of the Jinshi family?" After the shopkeeper asked three questions in a row, he hurriedly bowed and said:

"I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you.

Don't worry, ladies. I won't charge a penny for introducing regular customers."

His behavior made the two sisters look at each other: Grandpa is more famous than uncle.

After her senior sister shook her head, Shen Lingzhu said, "That's not necessary. This bellows will be sent to my grandfather's house for installation today. I just tried it out.

If you find it useful, we can install another one in a few days."

"Ah, this..." The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "It's better not to trouble Uncle Huang."

"Don't worry, we will install it ourselves and won't mention what happened today to grandpa." Shen Lingzhu gestured to Xia Wang to pick up the bellows and walk ahead, but her torch moved with her senior sister's movement.

The shopkeeper waved the burly man at the door to move aside, and he followed him out the back door, saying, "Go carefully, girl. That's five pounds of oil."

If he knew that these two were the children of the father-in-law and son-in-law, he would never provoke them.

So Shen Xianzhu saw this strange scene. When he stepped forward to ask what was going on, he saw the second sister push the jar in her hand into the shopkeeper's arms and in a blink of an eye took the position of the cart shaft.

Shen Lingzhu, who didn't lose the torch, grabbed his eldest brother's sleeve and said "Get in the car", and the group quickly left the black shop.

Little did she know that the shopkeeper who was carefully holding onto the oil tank was also muttering that the two girls were so cruel at such a young age, and fortunately they were not two boys.

After the ox cart had gone a long way, Shen Lingzhu extinguished the torch and took the initiative to reflect on himself for not saying too much and giving two cents.

“I don’t blame you, I was there too and wanted to see how quickly people outside would accept the bellows.

Then ignore those who dare to sell illegal salt, they are not good people." Shen Miaozhu did not blame her junior sister, because when doing business, the people you deal with are the most complicated.

Shen Xianzhu, who was standing by, was terrified after hearing what happened. "Xiao Zhuzi, you are indeed wrong. If he gets angry today, you may not be able to escape unscathed.

Next time when we sell bellows, don't mention profit sharing or anything like that; we'll just sell as many as we can."

Shen Lingzhu nodded repeatedly. She had to change the bad habit of pushing sales that she had developed in school.

“Master, knowing the identities of the two girls, he wouldn’t dare.

Besides, I was able to come to him because he was the brother-in-law of the salt shop owner." Xia Wang explained everything to them.

Shen Xianzhu was greatly surprised: "What about his illegal salt?"

"It's actually official salt." Shen Miaozhu didn't stop her junior sister from entering the kitchen because she saw the fine white salt grains and tasted one, and it was obviously official salt.

Even with such obvious shortcomings exposed, the store owner is just a small character pushed to the forefront, and he is in the local area, so there is nothing to worry about.

However, "Don't deal with this restaurant again in the future.

We can ask the village head for permission to buy official salt, and we don’t have to sell him the bellows.”

This will temporarily prevent stores from thinking of taking the products apart and making counterfeits, otherwise the result will be more harm than good.

She also carefully checked the pottery jars, and although there were no special markings, she still bought another jar from the grocery store to replace it.

After that, they wanted to smash the original one and let Xia Wang throw it into the river. Xia Wang said distressedly: "Second Miss, it's a pity to throw away several coins like this. Why don't you take it home and use it."

"Brother Erwang, I advise you to go home and smash the gift he gave you." Shen Lingzhu didn't feel sorry.

Xia Wang shook his head and said that when he bought salt himself in the past, the owner never gave him a jar, so he had to bring his own, and the salt was not as white as it is today.

"You're quite good at judging people and serving them well." Shen Lingzhu glanced at her brother and sister's new clothes made of fine cloth with understanding. These were made by Xia Wangniang over two consecutive days and sent to them.

Shen Miaozhu smiled and said, "People in the world respect the clothes first and then the people, and you and I are among them."

"Erwang, throw it away. This jar is not a big deal." Shen Xianzhu said seriously after sending Xia Wang away:

"You two are always overly defensive towards others, so I won't dare take you out alone anymore.

Why not take advantage of my mother's visit to the Qixing Temple and go find Taoist Xuanlingzi to exorcise the evil spirits together?"

"Is there?" Shen Miaozhu moved the car to the open space on the side. She didn't want passers-by to hear the conversation. She and her junior sister asked him in confusion.

Shen Xianzhu nodded affirmatively: "Yes, the first two times against Paihuazi and the Lu brothers, there was no problem in defending myself.

Thank you, brother, for standing up for me regarding Jian Xuan's matter, but I was too harsh on his uncle and the store owner today.

Little Zhuzi used to be naughty and active, but never as restless and reckless as this."

Shen Lingzhu scratched her hair and looked at her senior sister involuntarily, "Big brother, what you said seems a bit extreme."

"Maybe we were too nervous along the way." Shen Miaozhu humbly accepted the signs of a stress reaction.

Seeing that his two younger sisters were listening and reflecting on what he said, Shen Xianzhu felt a sense of accomplishment as a brother.

……

The three siblings bought ten chickens, ducks and goose chicks each in another village, and it was already evening when they returned to the foot of the mountain.

While the ox cart was still going uphill, they heard noisy voices coming from their yard.

Shen Xianzhu, who said his sisters were too radical, jumped out of the car and ran home at an astonishing speed.

Shen Lingzhu caught up and exclaimed, "It seems that it's not just us who haven't let down our guard and overreacted, Big Brother is the same."

After Shen Xianzhu saw everyone in the courtyard, he smiled embarrassedly at his two sisters.
