Chapter 530: White Lily Flower
After collecting the two things, he said, "Okay, let's go out and find something to eat. After we finish eating, we'll come back and sleep."
Early the next morning, Zhou Guo woke Zhou Su up. The two of them went out to have breakfast, checked out of the room, and drove the carriage towards Baoyue Tower.
Shopkeeper Yang was surprised to see the two men. "Young masters, are you here to play in the city again? Have you eaten yet? I'll ask someone to prepare food for you."
Zhou Guo stopped him and said, "Please stop working so hard. People will think I'm here to ask for money. I always ask you to prepare a feast every time I come."
Shopkeeper Yang said "Oh" and waved his hands, "I don't mean that. Young Master, you misunderstood me. With our relationship, it's been a long time since you came to my place. If you come, can't I even prepare a decent meal for you?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "I was just joking with you. We've eaten it before. This time we came here to buy Lihuabai from you. You know our old man likes it very much. I also know that your Lihuabai is limited, but can you give me a few jars?"
Shopkeeper Yang waved his hand and said, "Isn't it just a few jars of Lihuabai? Since it's what the old man likes to drink, why not give him a few jars? You're the one who buys it. I'll give it to him. Will ten jars be enough?"
Zhou Guo said, "We appreciate the shopkeeper's kindness. White pear blossoms are precious. I can't take advantage of you. How can I pay you back? I bought it with money. When I came here, the old man specifically told me not to take it for free. I have to pay for it."
Zhou Su, who was standing by, handed over two large silver ingots.
Seeing that both of them were in this state, Shopkeeper Yang didn't want to give it away for free, so he compromised and said, "Okay, I'll have someone go get it. The carriage is at the back door, right?"
He turned around and called a young boy to carry ten jars of Lihuabai to the carriage at the back door.
Zhou Guo took the opportunity to ask, "Does Shopkeeper Yang know about goat mushrooms?"
Shopkeeper Yang said with a smile, "Of course I know. Why, Madam Zhou is eyeing the goat mushroom again? But I remember that the amount of goat mushroom produced each year is far less than that of pine mushroom."
What this means is that the quantity is too small and not worth considering.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Things change year by year. Last year there were more, this year there are less, and next year there might be more. The shopkeeper just said, is this ingredient good?"
Shopkeeper Yang said, "It is indeed good food, but there is not much of it, and it is difficult for us to collect it. After all, it will be gone in a few days. If customers want to eat it later, where can we find it? It is still a troublesome matter."
Zhou Guo said: "As for the problem of small quantity, that is my business."
"Shopkeeper Yang, ten jars of Lihuabai have been loaded onto Mr. Zhou's carriage." A waiter came in and said.
Shopkeeper Yang nodded.
Zhou Guo took the opportunity to say, "Then I won't bother you from doing business, boss. We'll leave first and come to see you next time we come to the city."
After saying that, he bowed and turned away. At this time, several guests had already entered the building.
Shopkeeper Yang looked at the two men's backs and opened his mouth. He wanted to ask about the sheep mushrooms. Could he really get a lot of them?
On second thought, yes, these things all come from the mountains. If all the villagers can go up the mountain to pick pine mushrooms, then they can also pick sheep mushrooms. Even if everyone in the village only picks half a basket, it would be a lot.
But I’m afraid it’s impossible to make it like the pine mushrooms. With that much, it’s probably not enough for their whole family.
Zhou Guo sat on the edge of the carriage and Zhou Su sat on the other side. The two of them strolled around the streets, bought a lot of delicious food, and drove the carriage out of the city.
When they came across a wide road, they let the horse go by itself and the two of them sat in the cart to eat.
Soup dumplings, meat patties, dried meat, meat skewers, roast chicken, roast rabbit, braised meat, peanuts, various pastries... they bought a lot of everything, whether they had eaten before or not. This pile was enough for two people to eat for two days.
She figured that even if she stayed outdoors for one night, she would not be short of food after buying so much, and could eat whatever she wanted.
Zhou Guo took the roast chicken and tore off a large leg, gave it to Zhou Sulu to eat, and then he took the rest and started to eat it.
The two siblings sat in the bumpy carriage, eating roast chicken leisurely, and passers-by on the road cast envious glances at them from time to time.
Finished eating the roast chicken.
The two of them started eating braised meat again, including lamb and beef. If she wasn't driving the carriage, she really wanted to scoop a glass of wine from the jar at the back, which would taste so good.
Zhou Suli slowly finished eating a leg, then a dozen slices of braised meat, then three or four soup dumplings, and drank half a bottle of water. He said he couldn't eat anything else.
Zhou Guo had no choice but to eat by himself.
They ate as they walked, and at noon they rested for half an hour, fed the horses some food, and drank enough water before getting back on the road.
It was so busy in the mountains, so they had to go home as soon as possible. If something went wrong, they wouldn't know how to deal with it.
Halfway through the journey, Zhou Su had already fallen asleep in the back of the carriage.
She drove the carriage, ate something when she was tired, and hurried on. She entered the village and arrived home in the middle of the night.
The family members were still awake, sitting on the kang, nodding their heads. When they heard the noise, they woke up immediately and said, "He's back, he's back!"
They all rushed out.
When Zhou Guo woke Zhou Su up, their family members came out to greet them before they even got out of the car. Seeing that they returned safe and sound, they finally felt relieved.
Zhou Guo was surprised and asked, "You guys haven't slept yet? It's already midnight."
Li said, "I was expecting you to come home tonight, and I'm waiting for you. Who can sleep if you don't come back? Is everything going well?"
Zhou Guo said, "It's going pretty smoothly. We've also collected the rent. I see their business is pretty good. We can find a shop someday and sell our own things. Otherwise, we can take back the big shop."
A group of people were moving things out, and when they heard her say that she wanted to take the things back and sell them, they all said, "There's nothing at home, what can we take them back and sell?"
"Just because there's nothing now doesn't mean there won't be anything in the future. What can't we sell in the countryside? Matsutake mushrooms, goat mushrooms, flower mushrooms, beans, wheat, eggs, which one can't we sell?"
Zhou Mi said: "The prefectural capital is too far away, so why not go to the county town and buy a shop first to test the waters."
Everyone thought it made sense and the county town was also close.
Li said, "Move these things in first, and we can talk about the store later. It's all empty talk now."
Zhou Su said to the old man happily, "Sir, come and see, we bought these ten jars of Lihuabai for you."
“Really?” The old man responded from the back, squeezed out from somewhere, and squeezed towards the carriage.
Zhou Guo said: "Move it in first, and then put it in your room. You can drink it slowly."
The old man leaned over the jar and smelled it, then laughed happily, "That's the smell, that's the smell."
He walked into the house with a jar in each hand, his steps brisk, without any sign of sleepiness at all.
Zhou Guo also held a jar in each hand.
Although there was only one truckload of stuff, there were many people in the family and the truck was emptied in no time.
Zhou Gu fell behind, unloaded the carriage, and led the horses to the backyard.
Zhou Mai brought water and put beans and fodder in the trough.
