Chapter 838: Chapter 838: Requesting Support_1
No matter what, better to establish a relationship first.
“There’s no need, Sanlang and I will go buy it ourselves, and besides, the three of us rarely co to town, we also want to visit other places.” Qiao Xiaomai refused.
“The piglets stink, if you put them in the ox cart, the sll is too bad, I should send soone to deliver them to you.”
Seeing Qiao Xiaomai about to speak again, Shopkeeper Zhou hurriedly said, “Miss, rest assured, we will charge you the normal price for the silver for the piglets.”
“Also, miss, I beg you, please give , the Zuixian Building, a chance to interact with you!”
Qiao Xiaomai “…”
...
Shopkeeper Zhou looked like he was about to cry and kneel, really making it hard for her to cope.
She was soone who could be coaxed but not forced, and besides, what Shopkeeper Zhou did last ti wasn’t that serious.
She subconsciously looked towards Tong Sanlang, seeking his opinion.
Tong Sanlang said emotionlessly, “Shopkeeper Zhou, thank you for your kindness, I plan to personally choose the piglets. Once I choose them, I’ll have the seller deliver them.”
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhou’s eyes really did turn red, “Master Tong, please do this favor, my greatest wish right now is to deliver the piglets to your house.”
“Thank you, Shopkeeper, for your kindness, Xiaomai and I will make the purchase. If there’s nothing else, we’ll be leaving first.”
Tong Sanlang said, and lightly flicked his whip.
The ox imdiately started moving forward slowly.
Seeing this, Shopkeeper Zhou bit his lip and did not follow.
The developnt of the situation had exceeded his control. Qiao Xiaomai was no longer an ordinary village girl, she was the wife of a scholar, and he, as a shopkeeper, could only plead and curry favor in front of her.
But since he had seriously offended her the last ti, Qiao Xiaomai had clearly blacklisted the Zuixian Building.
His pleas were utterly useless.
It was ti to report the situation and ask for support.
Thinking of this, he hurried towards the Zuixian Building.
It was just the start of winter, there was no snow on the ground, and the road was easy to travel, so the ssage should spread quickly.
As for Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang, once they had walked far enough to not see Shopkeeper Zhou anymore, Qiao Xiaomai asked Tong Sanlang with so concern, “By doing this, aren’t we offending the Right Chancellor?”
“It doesn’t matter, since Grandfather Li has underground connections with him anyway, they are in the sa camp. Even if he is uncomfortable, he won’t do anything to us.”
“But isn’t he openly against Grandfather Li? Now that we are standing on the side of Jiwei Building, just to show others, might he act against us?” Worried about this possibility, Qiao Xiaomai’s brows were knotted.
“Don’t worry, even if he acts, it will be asured,” Tong Sanlang reassured her, lightly holding her hand.
On the main street, he only held it briefly, then quickly let go.
Qiao Xiaomai gazed at his handso profile and humd in agreent.
Forget it, we’ll cross that bridge when we co to it. One should be upright and not fear a crooked shadow, let the Right Chancellor co if he will!
Putting their worries aside, the two first went to buy so fish, and then really went to look at the piglets and sheep.
Winter had co, there was no more work in the fields, besides Tong Sanlang, everyone else was free, so it was possible to raise so livestock other than chickens.
Qiao Xiaomai had no experience in selecting piglets, Tong Sanlang touched this one, looked at that one, and eventually chose twenty.
Twenty piglets, none for sale, all for them to eat next year.
Eating twenty pigs in one year, yes, there would be plenty of at.
They also bought ten sheep, in addition to milking, the sheep could also be slaughtered for their at.
In winter, Stewed Lamb is a great delicacy that enhances vitality.
These purchases cost over a hundred taels of silver, which Tong Sanlang asked the seller to deliver to their manor.
