Chapter 236 Someone Wants to Buy Phoenix
The men didn't make things difficult for him.
Feng Biao took out a piece of silver and threw it to him.
"No need to look for it, hurry up, I'm exhausted after traveling all night."
After saying this, he wiped his face with his palm.
This way the sweat didn't slip into my eyes.
Jiang Lingu took the silver coins with surprise and put them in the drawer of the cabinet. He threw away the sackcloth and went to the backyard.
"Quick, quick, get 40 meat skewers, half pork and half mutton, and make four bowls of cold noodles. The guests are asking for it, don't waste time. Also, don't forget to grill the eight vegetarian skewers. I see that some of you like to eat meat, so don't serve the vegetables, just the mushroom skewers."
Jiang Lingu sincerely hopes that the Bai family snack shop business will be good.
So I work very seriously.
He also started observing the guests.
"So many? Tsk tsk, why not just take four? Anyway, these guys are shy, they won't say anything if you give them four. Although mushrooms are cheap, they can't withstand the large quantity. Eight skewers, at least half a cent has been given away. No, no, it's too much. If I sell hundreds or thousands of skewers a day, I will lose a lot of money."
The meat skewers are grilled in advance, but the vegetarian skewers are not.
Just when Zhou Gaier counted eight mushrooms and was about to put them on the barbecue grill, he was grabbed by Wan Zhen.
She snatched four bunches.
He did not forget to teach the couple a lesson.
"You can't do this, ma'am. If you do this, how can our shop do business? The master has told me that you must grill four skewers, otherwise I can't explain to the master.
Madam, you will only lose more than you gain by doing this. It is not worth offending such a generous client for a penny. Besides, there are four of them. If they cause trouble, how can we resist them? "
Jiang Lingu wanted to say, besides, they also gave a reward.
However, he kept the account himself, and when he opened the change without anyone noticing, no one would know that he had kept the reward money for himself.
Then his eyes rolled.
Changed the statement.
Wan Zhen became angry when she saw that he dared to contradict her.
The two were in a stalemate.
In the end, Jiang Lingu gave in.
What can he do.
If he really offended the lady and whispered in the master's ear, how would he be able to keep his position as the shopkeeper?
now.
On the other side, the Jiang family snack shop had not yet opened when an uninvited guest arrived.
The door to the backyard of the shop was open.
There were two men standing in the yard.
One was dressed elegantly and was about forty years old, and the other was dressed in coarse cloth, following the middle-aged man in a humble manner.
Like a master and a servant.
"I'm the landlord Deng in town. I was having dinner with a good friend last night and heard him mention that there is a mynah bird in your shop that can imitate human crying 100% accurately. I wonder if I can see it. Don't worry, if it can really imitate 100% accurately, I am willing to buy it for 150 taels."
Deng Jinian stroked his long beard.
He said with his head held high.
His eyes were looking around all the time, and he didn't even follow the etiquette of looking people in the eye when talking.
It was as if he had done a great favor to the Jiang family.
"It's not convenient to meet, and we won't sell it. Landlord Deng, we still have business to do, so we really don't have time to entertain you. Please go ahead."
No one would come to your house so early in the morning.
Don't understand any rules.
As soon as he came in, he said he wanted to see the birds.
I didn't know why I thought he was some high-ranking official, but he is just a landlord, yet he is so arrogant.
Zhang Jinlan retorted angrily.
Besides, Phoenix was her granddaughter's playmate, so what right did she have to sell it?
It’s only one hundred and fifty taels. I can earn that much from my own shop by working hard for half a month at most.
She won't sell it.
"What? You won't sell it? This is one hundred and fifty taels! How long will it take for your small shop to make back the profit from selling mung bean soup and broken cakes? Could it be that you don't have any mynah birds in your shop at all, and they are all fake? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I made this trip in vain!"
Deng Jinian became angry.
He lowered his hand from stroking his beard.
Carry it behind your back.
Staring at Zhang Jinlan angrily.
Jiang Fubao, who was standing by, suddenly had an idea.
The name of this landlord Deng sounds very familiar, and you can tell at a glance that he is not a good person.
I don't know who told me in the shop before that Landlord Deng had killed many tenant farmers and was the landlord who collected the highest rent in town. He was extremely evil.
That's why he is so rich.
Since he has come to my door, I might as well kill him.
My family just spent all their savings to buy this shop.
If you sell the Phoenix.
Wouldn’t it be possible to earn back the money spent on buying the shop immediately?
She had heard people mention the price.
One hundred and fifty taels is definitely too low. She would only sell it for at least three hundred taels.
She just slipped under the tree and waved to Fenghuang while grandma was arguing with them.
Jiang Fubao whispered a few instructions to Fenghuang and then walked over with Fenghuang.
"Uncle, don't be angry. Phoenix is mine. Grandma is reluctant to sell it because she's afraid that I'll be sad. But since you want to see Phoenix so much, I'll let you see it. Phoenix, say hello to Landlord Deng."
Jiang Fubao tilted her head slightly and spoke to Fenghuang who was standing on her shoulder.
"How is Landlord Deng? Congratulations on your prosperity, longevity, and all the best..."
The phoenix mumbled a bunch of auspicious words.
Deng Jinian, who was angry at the time, was so happy that his eyes widened.
"This, this, this mynah bird actually said it so clearly, it is top quality, it can be said to be top quality!! So, I will add another ten taels, one hundred and sixty taels, and buy it, how about that?"
Deng Jinian was determined to capture this starling today.
"No, uncle, don't lie to us. Someone came to us last night and said he wanted to buy the bird for three hundred taels. I'm still considering it. Phoenix is my good friend, I can't bear to sell it."
Jiang Fubao shook his head.
He took two steps back.
Deng Jinian was extremely anxious.
"How about I offer two hundred taels? It's just a bird, how can it be sold for three hundred taels? Even if it's made of gold, it can't be sold for this price. You little girl, how old are you, but you are so cunning, don't deceive me."
Deng Jinian clearly knew the value of the starling.
But still pretending to be stupid.
"That's all, grandma. I'll take my starling to play inside."
Jiang Fubao turned around without hesitation and went into the house.
This is just great.
Deng Jinian was very anxious.
He looked at Jiang Fubao's back, eagerly waiting.
"Three hundred is three hundred, I'll buy it!"
Just as Zhang Jinlan was about to see the guest off, Deng Jinian gritted his teeth.
He immediately took out three silver bills.
It was exactly one hundred taels.
But Sun Pingmei saw the bulging purse around his waist, so she shouted loudly.
"No, three hundred taels is too low. Maybe the man from last night will come back to us today. If he adds more money, we will lose money."
Zhang Jinlan didn't know what her granddaughter was thinking.
I thought she really wanted to sell Phoenix.
I followed my daughter-in-law and sang the same tune.
"Yes, we won't sell it. If we wait a little longer, it will definitely sell for a higher price. Our starling is a rare bird that only appears once in a hundred years. It speaks as clearly as if a person is standing in front of it. If we take this precious bird to another place, it may be sold for five hundred taels. We can't sell it for a mere three hundred taels."
