Chapter 139 Patron

"Walk."

They left without a moment's delay, not even having time to eat the meal Rong Xiu had painstakingly prepared. Rong Xiu couldn't help but complain to the people in Rongjia Village, "There's no one to take care of things. Everything depends on this one child."

Yao's mother advised: "You've never been exposed to it before, so you're timid. It will get better slowly."

When Rong Tang returned to the Rongjia Village compound, there were a few outsiders sitting in the main hall discussing something, accompanied by the village chief and his son. Rong An and Rong Dazhu tried to discuss the contents of the contract with them, and they roughly came up with some rules.

Since a long-term supply contract has been signed, the price must be more favorable, but those people are trying hard to lower the price. Rong An doesn't want to compromise, but he can't bear it.

Seeing him come back, they breathed a sigh of relief and gave him the home court.

Several of them were businessmen who ran shops and always looked down upon officials. Although Rong Tang was not an official, he was the son of a nobleman from a baronial family. These people, who were not usually seen by him, immediately felt a little uncomfortable and stood up to salute.

Rong Tang pressed his hands down, "Please take a seat, everyone. We are buyers and sellers, so we should be fair and just. Don't use your status to pressure others. Be at ease and do what you want."

After alleviating the anxiety and vigilance of those people, the bargaining continued, but Rong Tang threw out a huge bait before they could say a few words.

"My dear owners, I have a great item here that hasn't hit the market yet. If you're interested, you might want to take a look. However, the quantity of this good thing is small, so I can't supply it in large quantities for now. I can only give priority to the two large companies that signed the contract first."

Several families showed interest and asked to take out their candies for inspection. Chuncao had been listening outside for a long time and immediately went to the candy warehouse to take out various candy samples and put them on a table.

"Is this candy?"

The shop owners were surprised and delighted. After tasting and asking the price, they were all willing to take a portion for trial sale. Due to factors such as sugar content, shape, etc., the prices were different. Coincidentally, after successfully signing the wine sales contract, the four shops also selected a price suitable for their own shops and ordered sugar.

Among them, the low-priced sesame candies and peanut candies received the most orders. Chuncao took out all the finished product stocks in the candy warehouse and divided them up, and everyone was happy.

When Rong An and Rong Dazhu saw that the prince had arrived, not only was the wine sold at a suitable price, but sugar was also bundled together for sale, they couldn't help but admire him and secretly kept it in mind.

"Uncle Dazhu, have you read the format of this contract clearly?"

Rong Dazhu felt extremely ashamed. He could not recognize many words. Although he understood what was said and could repeat it, he was completely in the dark.

Rong Tang understood his predicament and said, "It doesn't matter if you can't recognize everything now. There's still time. Rong An, you will be responsible for teaching Uncle Dazhu to read and write. You need him to be able to sign an independent contract and become the head manager of the Rongjia Village Winery in six months. I will keep an eye on him during the next six months."

Rong Dazhu was very excited. He originally thought that he could only help with the work.

"Uncle Dazhu, don't be too happy too soon. If you fail the exam in half a year, you won't be able to take up the position."

Rong Dazhu immediately patted his chest and promised that from now on he would work hard and strive to become a strong person.

Rong Dazhu went back to the backyard to look after the winery, and Rong An hesitated to speak.

"Speak directly if you have something to say."

"Uncle Dashan didn't come."

Rong Tang frowned, "Why didn't he come? Is there something wrong at home?"

"I didn't hear anything. Uncle Dashan hasn't spoken since he came back from Fuxinzhuang, and he didn't come here this morning. Prince, you're so focused on training Uncle Dazhu, are you giving up on Uncle Dashan? Although Uncle Dazhu is from Sixth Master's family, and they're the same, I always feel sorry for Uncle Dashan."

Rong Dajiang shouted at him, "What's your business? The prince has his own reasons for employing whom and how he employs them."

The village chief knew clearly that it was his third uncle who handled family affairs in a confused manner, which made Prince Tang unhappy.

Rong Tang said, "Who gave up on him? I'll go find him."

He's been away for only half a day and people are starting to lose interest.

When I arrived outside the Third Master's courtyard, I could feel the gloomy atmosphere even through the wall. At the corner, I could hear the loud and low sounds of two people arguing.

Rong Tang listened through the wall and recognized that one of them was the Third Grandma and the other was Ma.

The Third Grandma scolded Ma, "Did you kidnap my second daughter-in-law? She used to be so kind, but after talking to you twice, she changed like a different person. She doesn't like to work anymore and she even had an argument with her eldest sister-in-law. What did you say to her?"

Ma's shrill voice grew louder and sharper. "Third Aunt, you're wronging me. I've also been in the Bo's Mansion and learned the rules of the family. How could I say something bad and lead anyone astray? Your Qian has always had a cocky personality. She seemed good before because she always dominated her eldest sister-in-law. And you, Third Aunt, favored her side, letting her take all the advantages, and of course she's satisfied. Now that Prince Tang only hires honest and hardworking people, seeing that the couple are getting more respect than the second wife, of course he's unbalanced and upset. She's bad from birth, she wasn't led astray by anyone."

Qian's crying voice came from a little further away, "Sister-in-law Jindou, you said it, said it..."

Ma was still in a good mood. "Second sister-in-law, what did I say? Did I teach you to work hard and learn from your sister-in-law, not to do nothing and go home to eat at mealtime, and then wander around and talk nonsense with your wife? Did I tell you that I was busy and didn't have time to talk nonsense with you?"

Qian burst into tears because although what Ma said was not complete, the meaning was basically right. Although she felt uncomfortable listening to it, others thought there was nothing wrong with it.

The third grandmother suddenly became silent. After all, her second daughter-in-law was not in the right.

Ma tsks. "Third Aunt, you're the only one who's biased. You think your second son and his wife are so good, but other people don't think so. Why are you doing this? It's just a boy, but you act like you're the only one who can give birth. Sixth Uncle's family, Eighth Uncle's family, everyone has a boy and a girl, and none of them dumped the whole thing on the floor like you do."

"You, you leave now."

"Hey, who called me here to scold me? That's unreasonable. You're asking me to leave again! Third Aunt, I'm very busy. I've been helping my son collect firewood these past two days. I earn ten coins a day. You've delayed my work, so you have to compensate me. It's not much, just five coins."

"you……"

After arguing for a while, Ma took three cents and walked out of the yard with a bunch of cabbage.

Seeing Rong Tang head-on, he looked a little embarrassed, "Prince Tang."

Rong Tang pretended to have just arrived and didn't know what happened in the Bo Mansion. He nodded to her and said, "Aunt Ma, have you eaten?"

Ma's mouth twitched slightly, "Eat, eat."

Leave.

The courtyard was quiet. Rong Tang waited for a moment before knocking on the door. "Is the Third Master home?"

The third grandmother opened the door and looked away, "The old man is at home, he caught a cold and is lying in bed."

This is not just a feeling of being offended, it is a feeling of losing face and dignity.

When Rong Tang walked in, the Third Master was sitting up and putting on his clothes. Rong Tang stopped him from getting out of bed.

"Third Master, I've been delayed by something in the city, and haven't had time to discuss this with you. I mentioned a few days ago that a new business has opened in Fuxin Village. I originally wanted to send Uncle Erhe over, but he couldn't adapt to the disabled people there, so we had to give up. Uncle Dashan went there yesterday, and I don't think he had any psychological burden. It just so happens that the small winery here is under the care of Uncle Dazhu from Sixth Master's family. Uncle Dashan, I want to transfer him to Fuxin Village as a manager. Is that okay with you?"

The third master's lips moved, he couldn't say no. Everyone in the village would think that this was a great honor.

He lifted the quilt and got out of bed, wanting to explain the details in detail.
