Chapter 23 Buying Food Again

Chapter 23 Buying Food Again

After buying it, the three of them went to the grain store again.

Since he had bought a lot of food before, the boss smiled as soon as he saw Shen Xia and asked, "Miss, do you want to buy food again?"

"Yes, boss."

When the boss heard this, he thought it was another big deal! Others bought grain in dozens of kilograms or even a few kilograms. Although this little girl was wearing a coarse linen shirt, she was very generous in buying grain.

The boss's smile, which covered his face but not his eyes, made Shen Xia laugh. It was obvious at first glance that this boss knew how to do business.

Even when I came here for the first time, I was wearing a coarse linen shirt, but he didn't look down on me. Although he wasn't as enthusiastic as this time, he definitely didn't look down on me.

This kind of person is not worth dealing with.

"What does the little girl want this time?"

Shen Xia thought for a moment and said, "I need 200 kilograms of glutinous rice, 60 kilograms of wheat, and 40 kilograms of soybeans. Don't buy anything else for now, because we haven't eaten them all at home." We bought a lot of soybeans last time, and we have used up half of them. The amount we need is not very large.

The boss heard it and said: "Okay, young lady, I will pack it for you right away, or send it to the town entrance?"

"Yes."

Then the boss said to the waiter next to him: "Hurry up and install it for the girl."

"Okay, boss." After the waiter said that, he went to the granary at the back to load the goods.

The shopkeeper then asked, "What's your name, young lady?"

The shopkeeper didn't hear it, but Song Jiang, who was standing behind him, would turn a little darker every time he heard the little girl.

Of course, because Shen Xia had her back to Song Jiang, she couldn’t see him either.

"Your surname is Shen, but you can call me Miss Shen."

"Okay, my last name is Liu, Miss Shen, you can call me Manager Liu. From now on, if Miss Shen needs anything, just come to me directly. I will give Miss Shen discounts." Manager Liu said with a flattering look on his face.

"Okay, thank you, Manager Liu."

Why did Shopkeeper Liu say this?

Considering that Shen Xia bought so much food last time, and she bought again just a few days ago, it shows that she must be in some business. And the demand for these two products is large, so she must be a long-term customer.

This town is not very big, but there are still two grain stores, so of course we have to maintain good relationships.

Don't let your customers go elsewhere.

After the shopkeeper watched the waiter load the cart, he began to count, his abacus clacking loudly, and then he said to Shen Xia, "Two hundred catties of glutinous rice is two taels of silver, sixty catties of wheat is three hundred coins, and forty catties of soybeans is one hundred and sixty coins. The total is two taels, four hundred and sixty coins. Miss Shen will pay two taels, four hundred and thirty coins."

When Shen Xia heard this, she thought the boss was really offering a big discount. Because the grain store was not like other stores, its profit was not very high. A discount of thirty cents from the boss was already a big deal.

It can be seen that the boss is an honest man. I can choose their products more often in the future.

"Thank you, boss. From now on, my family will choose your food when we need it." Since the boss is so generous, of course I have to make some promises.

When the boss heard this, his face was so smiling that he couldn't bear to look at it anymore: "Okay, if you have anything, just come to me directly."

Boss, could you please be more restrained? If someone doesn’t know you, I’d think you’ve earned a lot from me based on your expression!

Then the three of them left with the waiter.

When we arrived at where Uncle Yang parked his ox cart, we saw Uncle Yang lying on the cart and sleeping.

Walking forward, Song Jiang said, "Uncle Yang, we are back."

Only then did Uncle Yang open his eyes and said with a smile, "I've bought it."

But when he saw the food on the oxcart next to him, he was surprised and said, "You bought so much again. Are they going to use it all?"

Uncle Yang has always been nice to the Song family because Song Jiang has helped Uncle Yang a lot before.

So Uncle Yang is still more concerned about the Song family.

Shen Xia explained: "Uncle Yang, don't worry, it won't be wasted. I know what I'm doing."

When Uncle Yang heard this, he thought that even though he was worried, he couldn't interfere too much in other people's affairs, so he didn't say anything else.

Then they helped the waiter to bring the food down.

Shen Xia said goodbye to the waiter and the waiter left.

After the food was loaded onto the truck, Uncle Yang told everyone to get on board and said, "Let's go."

"Okay." Shen Xia said.

Maybe it’s because these were the people who came, so these are the only people who left!

After getting in the car, Shen Xia signaled to Song Ming.

Song Ming sensed it, so he took out the buns in his arms and gave one to each of them to eat.

Uncle Yang didn't want it, but after Shen Xia said a few words, he had to accept it.

Because no one had eaten much in the morning and it would take an hour to get back, we would definitely be hungry, but we had been enduring it before.

But Uncle Yang was thinking that the new young lady married by the Shen family was a generous one.

From now on, the Song family will help each other with anything.

This time, it was Uncle Yang who delivered the food to the house and helped people get off the car.

Song didn't remind himself anymore and went to pour sweet water.

Children can be taught.

Song Jiang paid for the ride.

After Uncle Yang left, Song's mother looked at Shen Xia's empty backpack and asked, "Have you sold them all?"

Shen Xia nodded.

Song's mother was instantly as happy as a child: "Xia Xia is really smart. It is a blessing for our Song family to marry Xia Xia."

At this time, Shen Xia couldn't continue.

Should I tell Song's mother that I am working hard to make money so that I can marry you?

Shen Xia took out all the cloth and handed it to Song's mother, saying, "Mom, put these cloths in your room. When you have time, make a set of clothes for everyone in the family."

When Song's mother saw so many cloths, she knew what the white cloth was used for, but there were also linen and fine cotton.

Seeing so much cloth, I didn't say much and just thought about how to arrange it. Xia Xia was able to earn money now and she wanted to spend it on her family. She was filial and I couldn't waste her kindness.

I was worried before because I was afraid that the family would have no follow-up income, but now I don’t have to worry about that anymore.

Song's mother decided to make clothes for Xia Xia with fine cotton, and use linen for herself and the rest of the family.

Shen Xia also had some understanding of Song's mother, so she said, "Mom, this piece of light green is our clothes, and the other linen is my brothers' clothes. As for the fine cotton, I have other arrangements. You can put it in your room first."

"Oh! Okay then!" Song's mother didn't understand what other arrangements meant, but she didn't ask and took it to the room.

When Xiao Wu saw that he had new clothes to wear, he happily said to Shen Xia: "Sister, you are so nice."

Shen Xia pinched Xiao Wu's nose and said, "Xiao Wu is still the sweetest." Then she took out a bun from the backpack and handed it to him: "Eat it! It's a reward for you."

Xiao Wu happily took the bun and said, "It smells so good."

Then Shen Xia took another one and handed it to Song Jin, gently took Song Jin's right hand, and put the bun in his hand: "Third brother, eat the bun."

I have to say that the third brother's appearance is the kind of gentle and jade-like aura that Shen Xia likes most.

Song Jiang looked at Shen Xia's gentleness towards Song Jin, her patience towards Song Ming, and her interest in Xiao Wu, but she was only polite and distant towards himself.

Am I really that annoying?

He left with a gloomy look and took the remaining things to the kitchen.

I just made a few dishes and ate them at noon.

In the afternoon, Shen Xia asked Song's mother to fry some more beans and take them to the village chief to grind flour, because the bean powder ground before was not enough.

Because I want to make the remaining maltose today.

At noon, while Song's mother went to pick beans, Shen Xia asked Song Jiang to cut paper and asked Song Ming to help.

These things are simple and they can do them without any problem.

Oh, I forgot to buy paper today. I guess I have to buy some tomorrow.

And he went to Song Yun's room to give him acupuncture and medicine.
