Chapter 152 Going to the City
Chapter 152 Going to the city
After Huang Jiu finished eating, she went to tidy up the vegetable plot. How much money she could make throughout the year depended on this land, so she naturally had to tidy it up.
The peaceful days passed day by day, and Huang Jiu did nothing but look after her and read books.
Although her father passed away, he left behind many books, and she would read them when she was free.
When her father was still alive, he would teach her how to read and write. She always felt that her father knew everything and was a very powerful person.
It wasn't until spring came when the flowers were blooming that Huang Jiu decided to go to the city again.
The begonia flowers in the garden have already sprouted buds and will bloom in ten and a half days.
There was no rice at home and not much seasoning. Huang Jiu planned to go to the city to buy some.
Early in the morning, Huang Jiu dressed neatly, put on her veil and went down the mountain.
There were flowers blooming along the way, and the forest path was winding and winding. Huang Jiu was jumping and jumping on the road, feeling quite good.
Today she planned to go to the city to exchange fruit for some pocket money, and buy some food and clothing along the way.
The city was quite far away from Buzhou Mountain, and Huang Jiu walked for an hour before arriving.
"Uncle Zhou, I'm here!" Huang Jiu arrived in the city and went directly to the grocery store.
Zhou Han is the shopkeeper of this grocery store. When he saw Huang Jiu coming, he greeted him with a smile, "Jiu Yatou, you are here! If you don't come, I will search for you all over the world."
The fruits and vegetables that Huang Jiu put on consignment in the store were sold out as soon as they were put in.
These days, many servants from noble families come to ask if the fruit is still available.
Isn't it rare to have such fresh fruits and vegetables at this time of year?
Naturally, more people will buy new things.
"Uncle Zhou, I brought another basket of fruits this time, so you can continue to help me consign them!"
Huang Jiu smiled again and took out a small baggage, which contained a few peaches, the fruits that had just grown on her tree.
"Uncle Zhou, take this fruit back to Auntie to eat. This is the peach I planted. It just bore fruit a few days ago."
Uncle Zhou has always taken good care of her, and she always wants to give something in return.
"Ouch! This is a good thing! Then I'll accept it!"
Zhou Han quickly hid the peach, his eyes narrowed with laughter.
Every time this girl comes, she always gives him some fruit, which is really delicious.
"Just put it away! I'm sorry that you always trouble you to help me sell fruit."
During the last Lantern Festival, she originally brought fruits with the intention of putting them at Uncle Zhou's place to sell, but it turned out that it was late that day. Uncle Zhou went home to reunite with his family, and the shop was not open, so she had to bring the fruits to sell on the street.
.
There is no chance to give the other fruits I brought to Uncle Zhou to him.
"Ouch! What's the point of being embarrassed? If you have any fruit in the future, just bring it!" He took the basket from her hand.
After taking a look, the fruit brought this time was too little, right? "Miss Jiu! Do you have a lot of fruit? This is too little."
Zhou Han looked at the fruits in the basket and realized that this was not enough for that wealthy family.
A noble gentleman suddenly came to this city, and all the vegetables and fruits he ate were from his shop, and they happened to be the vegetables and fruits sent by Huang Jiu.
These days, the young master's steward comes to ask about the origin of these vegetables and fruits.
"There are a lot at home! But I can't carry much! How much can I carry alone?"
Huang Jiu just brought some fruits here casually, so that he could exchange some copper coins to buy rice and seasoning.
She couldn’t carry it even if she brought too much!
Zhou Han slapped his thigh, as long as the fruit is still there!
"Miss Ninth, a wealthy family has come to the city and wants to buy more vegetables and fruits like you. Can you take us there?"
This morning the housekeeper of that family came again, and he had to find the girl selling fruit on consignment today, otherwise his shop would be destroyed.
Seeing Huang Jiu today made him feel relieved.
Huang Jiu blinked in confusion, "Okay, okay, but I still have to buy rice and seasonings, and I won't be able to go back for a while."
She has grown more vegetables and fruits than she can eat. Even people in the village down the mountain can't buy enough vegetables. She has stored a lot in the space.
It would be good if she could sell more, so she could make more money to buy new clothes.
Huang Jiu looked at the coarse cloth clothes she was wearing. These clothes were bought for her by her father when he was still alive. They were a little too small now.
Uncle Zhou's store was a grocery store, and there was no rice, noodles, seasonings, etc. She had to go elsewhere to buy it.
"How about we help the girl buy this rice noodles?"
At this time, a middle-aged man walked in from outside.
Li Yuan strode forward with his head raised and his chest raised. With his broad chest and strong figure, he looked like a practicing martial artist.
There was no expression on the bearded face, his eyes were bright and clear, and when he looked at Huang Jiu, he only looked at them indifferently.
"Ouch! It's Butler Li who's here. These fruits were sent on consignment by Miss Ninth."
When Zhou Han sees Li Yuan, he is always intimidated by his aura.
From this look, he is not an ordinary housekeeper.
"The girl is polite. My young master was full of praise for these vegetables and fruits after eating them. Do you think the girl can supply all the vegetables in the house in the future?"
Li Yuan was still very polite to Huang Jiu.
The vegetables and fruits grown by this girl can be eaten by his young master, so this girl cannot be offended.
To be able to grow vegetables and fruits at this time of year must be something special.
"Tell me, will you buy spices and rice for me?"
Huang Jiu blinked.
In this case, she wouldn't have to buy it herself, and she wouldn't have to meet so many people.
Because she has a birthmark on her face, she has been reluctant to see people since she was a child, and she is still the same now.
She would try her best not to go to crowded places.
It's good to have someone help her buy things.
"Yes! I will send someone to help the girl buy seasonings and rice. Can you ask the girl to take you down to buy vegetables?"
Li Yuan almost died of worry these days. The young master couldn't eat anything. The vegetables and fruits here were all gone. He found a lot of substitute vegetables and fruits. The young master felt something was wrong after taking one bite, and then he stopped eating a bite.
He comes to this store every day to keep watch, just wanting to buy vegetables as soon as possible.
Now that he has finally met his true master, how could he let go of such an opportunity?
Huang Jiu happily took out her purse, counted a handful of money and put it in Li Yuan's hand, "Then buy it for me! I'll give you the money."
You have to pay someone to run errands, right?
Li Yuan looked at the drop of money in his hand, and his eyes twitched quietly. It seemed that he hadn't seen such a copper plate for a long time. They all used silver and gold coins.
"Okay! Then please invite the girl to get on the carriage." Li Yuan still accepted the small amount of money. He could see that this girl didn't like to be in debt.
"Okay!" Huang Jiu turned to Zhou Han and said: "Uncle Zhou, let's keep these fruits here with you today! When they are sold out, Uncle Zhou can just go to my house to find me. My house is on Buzhou Mountain.
If you go to Liujia Village at the foot of the mountain and ask around, you will know where my home is."
After what happened today, Huang Jiu felt that she could let them bring vegetables to her home, and she would not come to the city to see so many people.
What a great idea!
