My delicate husband

Chapter 227 Looking for trouble

During the two days in the county town, Brother Man accompanied Lan An to visit all the shops under Brother Xia's name. This was the first time that Lan An interviewed all the shops in a short time.

For a moment, the owners of all the shops were very panicked. After all, Lan An saw how hard Zhang Xiaomo worked to check the accounts, and he was a little resentful towards these shop owners, and his attitude was not very good.

The person who was most wronged should be the shopkeeper Gui, because he was scolded for stepping out of the counter with his left foot first in front of Lan An. He didn't know when this rule came into being in the store, so he could only endure the scolding obediently.

Shopkeeper Xiang was also in a miserable state. Lan An said that he spoke in odd numbers instead of even numbers, which did not suit his name, and that good things come in pairs, so he scolded him.

The shopkeepers had no choice but to invite Brother He to a private banquet. Brother He was a favorite of Lan An, and the shopkeepers all felt that they needed some guidance from Brother He.

"Manager He, please show us a way forward."

Apart from the time when Lan Euan killed the chicken to scare the monkey, this was the first time I saw all the shopkeepers gathered together. Faced with the pleadings of all the shopkeepers, I was still a little confused, but I would rather not refuse the money than refuse it.

"Don't be anxious, shopkeepers. Take your time."

"This can't be slow. Today, the An Dong family came to my shop and criticized me. They scolded me for half an hour, and they didn't repeat a word."

"Shopkeeper, why are you talking about you?"

"I'll go out the counter left foot first."

"I was also criticized for speaking in the singular."

"Me too. Moles on my face affect my appearance."

"I have a terrible sense of taste. I wear purple with blue."

"Drink cold water in the hot summer."

"You speak too loudly and show no respect for the host."

"You speak in a low voice, too weak."

"The ironwork is too loud and noisy."

…………

Looking at the shopkeepers with aggrieved expressions, Brother He understood that Lan An was deliberately looking for trouble. In the final analysis, it was probably because Zhang Xiaomo had been too busy checking the accounts for the past three days and was trying to make things difficult for the shopkeepers.

"Don't worry, shopkeepers. The An Dong family will only be in trouble for the next two days. Try to keep your account books simpler in the future."

"The Anton family never cares about account books. It's not that they just record every account clearly."

Brother He felt that Lan'an did a good job. Before, he and Bai Lu had to check and verify the account books first and rewrite a copy. This time, Zhang Xiaomo checked it directly, so it would definitely take some time. It's not that these shopkeepers didn't organize the account books well, but they just remembered them too complicatedly and too long-windedly.

Brother He gave all the shopkeepers a look, then left in a leisurely manner with the hundred taels of silver he had obtained.

"I'm leaving now, Shopkeeper He, you haven't explained clearly yet."

"Shopkeeper Qing, I understand. The An family is just trying to vent their anger on the Mo family. We should be more careful with our accounts from now on and not make them too complicated."

As soon as the shopkeeper said this, all the shopkeepers understood. In order to perform well, they deliberately wrote all the account books very carefully for fear of causing dissatisfaction from the boss. It seems that this is superfluous. All the shopkeepers have praised the boss in the account books.

Lan An felt relieved when he saw that all the shopkeepers were honest. It was the first time for him to see an account book with hundreds of words of reasons for buying paper, which included many words of praise. No wonder Zhang Xiaomo was so tired every time he reconciled the accounts, it was all nonsense.

It was also the first time that Zhang Xiaomo saw the original version of the account book, and he felt a little helpless, but he still read it carefully and did not rest for three whole days.

"Brother Xiaomo, are you very tired? You even have dark circles under your eyes."

"An An, I will be able to accompany you to Huaizhou tomorrow. Don't be unhappy, let your husband hug you."

"I'm not unhappy, I just feel sorry for you."

"With you by my side, I never feel tired. Go to sleep."

It was through this incident that Brother Man realized how kind Lan An was to them. He secretly took note of it and decided to talk to Brother Han about it when he returned to the village.

Thinking of Brother Han, Brother Man realized that they had not seen each other for three or four days. Not to mention, he felt a little uncomfortable and always felt something was missing when he went to bed. However, they would be able to meet again in more than a month, and Brother Man felt a lot better.

At noon on the second day, the three of them showed up at the transport dock on time. Zhao Huaiyu was also very enthusiastic, and Lan An looked at him with a hint of amusement and some sympathy.

"Mo Fulang, is there something wrong with my face?"

"Mr. Zhao, no."

This was the first time Lan Euan had seen an ancient cargo ship. It was indeed a rich ship, and the cargo ship was very fancy, but it was still very shocking.

This ancient cargo ship is like a palace floating on the river.

Its hull is dozens of feet long, wide and majestic, and is made entirely of precious teak, exuding a faint fragrance.

The bow of the ship is held high, like an eagle spreading its wings to fly, and the stern is carved with exquisite patterns, like tigers and wolves, which are lifelike. The hull is a magnificent landscape painting with exquisite carvings. Just standing in front of it makes people feel like they are in a fairyland.

Zhao Huaiyu was very confident about this cargo ship. Although it was not as luxurious as those of the clan's big brothers, it still cost most of the Zhao family's fortune to build. It took five years and tens of thousands of skilled craftsmen to make it. There were only a hundred of these ships in the entire Chuqi Kingdom.

"Mr. Mo, what does Mr. Mo think?"

"very nice."

Zhang Xiaomo and Lan An said in unison, and they smiled at each other. Lan An was a little tempted. He also wanted to own one, but it was impossible in a short time. Brother Man was holding his breath, and he didn't dare to get on the boat. If he stepped on it and broke it, no matter how many people he stepped on it, it would not be enough to compensate for it.

Zhao Huaiyu felt a little regretful. Why did he invite that couple? Isn't this asking for trouble? He has been a chaste man for so many years. It's rare for him to meet a guy he likes, but it's so difficult to pursue him.

"Get on board, it's getting late."

Zhao Huaiyu took the three of them on board. The deck of the cargo ship was covered with snow-white rabbit fur, which was soft and comfortable.

Lan'an thinks this rabbit fur carpet is pretty good and can be used to cover the entire baby room. This way, when Little Watermelon and Little Orange grow up, they can be put on the floor to crawl. It just so happens that they can only learn to crawl in spring, so with the rabbit fur carpet, they won't be cold.

There were dozens of cabins lined up on both sides of the ship, with their doors tightly closed and filled with cargo. Lan An thought of the cargo on the carriage and asked Zhao Huaiyu to find a cabin to help put it in.

"Did Mofulang bring a lot of winter melons?"

"Just a few, for a friend."

"The special fruits and vegetables sold at the Early Summer Rice Shop are all rare and good products. It's a pity that the quantity is too small. Otherwise, I don't know how much profit I would make if I sold them to Huaizhou."

"Lotus Village's production is still insufficient, otherwise I wouldn't have missed this great opportunity."

"I have some wasteland elsewhere, how about we cooperate?"

Zhang Xiaomo was jealous when he saw Zhao Huaiyu moving closer to Lan An for no reason, but since they were discussing a legitimate business, Zhang Xiaomo just held Lan An in his arms to declare his sovereignty.

Brother Man was really like Granny Liu entering the big garden. He looked here and there, and although he was very tempted, he didn't dare to touch anything.

Lan Eucalyptus saw the mast of the cargo ship towering into the sky, with a huge flag flying on the top, embroidered with exquisite patterns and the family emblem.

Lan An always felt that Zhao Huaiyu's background was not as simple as he thought, otherwise, whose young man would go out to do business so high-profile? Forget it, they were not close friends anyway.

The two of them quickly concluded the deal. Lan An looked at the night pearls used for lighting on the railings of the ship, which were much larger than the one given to him. It was true that the poor died poor and the rich died rich, and this was the case in every era.

After the business deal was done, Zhao Huaiyu was very happy. He took out his collection of red wine and crystal glasses and wanted to drink with Lan An, but Lan An still declined. Zhang Xiaomo was angry, and he had to coax her quickly.
