Chapter 141 Business (2)

Grandma Chen specially talked about the supply of food and grass. Seeing that Grandma Fu was only chatting with Yuxi and was not on the right track for a long time, she couldn't help interjecting, "Madam Yun has adopted so many orphans and daughters without parents. Bodhisattva's heart! It's just that there are so many children, and the cost is not low, right?"

Yuxi frowned, but quickly recovered, and said with a smile: "It's okay, my mother knew that I adopted these homeless children, and said it was a good thing to do good deeds, so she gave me all the private houses , and said that in the future, someone will send a sum of money over every year." Qiu's good deeds Yuxi will not hide it. She also hopes that those who have rescued will remember Qiu's kind deeds.

Fu Da's nǎinǎi was taken aback when she heard this, and asked: "Have you taken out all the private houses?" The private house of the Duke's wife must not be a small sum

Yuxi smiled and said: "You don't know, my mother is the most charitable, and spends a sum of money every year to do good deeds."

Grandma Fu couldn't help asking, "Does the Duke of the State and the second master of the Han family know about this?" Grandma Fu took it for granted that the money was kept from the two brothers Han Jianming.

Grandma Chen was speechless after hearing this, is this what you should ask? Even if it was revealed without telling the brothers of the Han family, the Han family would not tell the truth.

Yuxi laughed and said: "My elder brother asked his confidant to send the money. In fact, my mother told my elder brothers and others before the money was given out. My elder brother and second elder brother knew about it and said that they are capable of earning money to support the family. My mother's private house She can use it however she wants, and they don't interfere." It is also the mother who raises her elder brother well, not only looking at her parents for this little money.

Grandma Chen covered her mouth with a smile and said, "No wonder Madam is so kind and compassionate to Bodhisattvas. It turns out that it is a family tradition."

After hearing this, Fu Da's mother blushed a little. It’s not good to use family history like this, if you don’t know how to use it, don’t use it, it’s shameful.

Yu Xi chuckled lightly and said: "Actually, it's just a small effort." Yu Xi said this, on the one hand, she wanted to release the fact that Qiu's money was used to help these children, and on the other hand, she wanted to let everyone Know she is not short of money.

It's not good to beat around the bush, Grandma Chen said directly: "I have a business at hand, I wonder if Madam is interested?"

Yuxi smiled and asked, "I don't know what kind of business it is?" She also opened a restaurant in Yucheng, which was closed due to the war some time ago, and then opened again after the situation improved. However, due to the shortage of wine in the wine shop, and the situation in the border town has not yet stabilized, the business of the restaurant has also been affected. Fortunately, although the business is not as good as before, it still makes money, but not as much as before.

Seeing that Yuxi was interested in doing business, Grandma Chen was overjoyed, and said, "My family is in the rice grain business, so I wonder if Madam can be a matchmaker."

Yuxi felt that this Grandma Chen's nǎinǎi was really not tactful, so she just talked about matchmaking so carelessly. But Yuxi didn't pretend to be stupid at this time, she just smiled and said, "Danny Chen wants to do the military ration business?" Fu Tianlei had always approached Yunqing before, so there's no need to pretend to be confused at this time.

Grandma Chen nodded and said: "After the matter is completed, we can give Madam 20% of the shares." The 20% is equivalent to giving Yuxi a direct dividend.

A smile appeared on Yu Xi's face, and he said: "If I remember correctly, the Xu family has always been supplying the military rations. Now that they are all good, how can they be replaced?"

Grandma Chen's face froze, she thought she could easily talk to Yuxi. And Yuxi's performance was pretty good just now, but she didn't expect to change her face in a blink of an eye: "Ma'am, the Xu family is the Qin family's money. It used to supply military supplies, and it has been filled with private pockets. I don't know how much it has been. It was rumored in Yucheng that the Xu family never From top to bottom, rich clothes and jade food,

Not exaggerating at all..."

Yu Xi interrupted Mrs. Chen's words, and said: "Even if the Xu family really pocketed their own pockets and stole money from it, there must be evidence. Besides, the supply of military rations is a big deal, and even if it needs to be replaced, it's not just me. can interfere."

Seeing that her sister-in-law was anxious, Grandma Fu smiled and said, "If the siblings think it's inappropriate, then forget it." Grandma Fu is not a fool, looking at Yuxi's appearance, she knew that today's trip was for nothing.

Grandma Chen blushed with anger, did she come to help? This is to demolish it! It's just that Grandma Chen didn't dare to offend Grandma Fu, so she forced a smile on Yu Xi and said, "Madam, if you don't like it, you can discuss it slowly."

Yuxi shook her head and said, "Please don't embarrass me, Mrs. Chen."

Chen Da'nǎinǎi came here in high spirits and returned in defeat. After leaving the Yun Mansion, Grandma Chen frowned and said, "Could it be that Mrs. Han thinks 20% is too low? Then she has too much appetite." She said that it can be discussed, but Mrs. Han still refused. She felt that it was a bit tricky. .

Fu Da's nǎinǎi said: "Don't worry about this matter. I will ask my husband when I go back. With the friendship between Xianggong and General Yun, I should not refuse." . Fu Da's nǎinǎi was able to bite the bullet and bring Fu Da's ninǎi to come here because the Chen family promised to give her half of the shares.

Grandma Chen was not so optimistic, and said, "I'm afraid things will change!" If my uncle's words were really so useful, this matter would have been settled long ago, and there would be no result until now. Such a large piece of fat, if you can't eat it, you won't be reconciled if you think about it.

Yuxi waited for Yunqing to come back at night, and told her about this matter: "He Rui, the job of supplying food and grass cannot be given to the Chen family."

Yun Qing still doesn't know about this matter, not only he is busy, but Fu Tianlei is also busy: "Is there anything wrong with the Chen family?"

Yuxi said: "Although the Chen family opened a rice shop in Xinping City, their overall strength is not strong. I don't think they are qualified for this job. So I declined Fu Da's nǎinǎi's proposal in the morning."

Yunqing was a little embarrassed.

Yuxi knew what he was embarrassing: "You don't have to worry about telling Fu Tianlei. If he asks, you can say that the price of grain and grass that the Xu family gave before is too high, and you are going to lower the price by 30%. I believe that Fu Tianlei will not There is nothing to say."

Yun Qing was extremely surprised, and asked, "Reduce by 30%?"

Yuxi chuckled lightly and said: "In the capital, a catty of coarse grain only costs three pennies, and this is only bought loosely. How can such a large amount of grain and grass supply to the army be lower than this price? But the price of grain and grass given by the Xu family is not It is four cents a catty, which is more expensive than the ones bought in bulk in the capital. What I just said is only coarse grains, and those fine rice and fine noodles are 50% more expensive than those in the capital. I earned it." Soldiers also eat coarse grains on weekdays, and fine rice and fine noodles are only available during wars.

What Yuxi said was the price of supplying military rations, and the rice rations sold loosely in Yucheng were even more expensive. Not to mention fine rice and fine noodles, but miscellaneous grains, which cost six cents a catty, and ten or twenty cents are not uncommon during wars.

Yun Qing was silent for a moment and then said: "The food in Yucheng is more expensive than outside, because the outside is not peaceful now. I fell in love with the Chen family before, and the Chen family was originally in the rice grain business, and they have their own channels." It's not that Yunqing doesn't know that the grain in Yucheng is more expensive than the outside, but it's just that things are getting worse everywhere, and it's not easy to transport this grain to Yucheng safely, so the price is naturally expensive.

Yuxi naturally also considered the banditry outside, and said: "If you talk about banditry, it is not peaceful from Jiangnan to the capital. And this military food delivery is escorted by heavy soldiers every time. Unless these bandits are too hungry to survive, otherwise Don’t dare to think about military rations.”

Yunqing still has concerns.

Yu Xi smiled and said: "Let's put it aside for now, we still have half a year." The contract signed with the Xu family will not be terminated until the end of the year. Although both Yunqing and Yuxi knew that the members of the Xu family were innocent, but there is no evidence now, so they can't tear up the contract for no reason.

Yun Qing said: "It won't take half a year." He has already asked people to collect the Xu family's criminal evidence, and it won't take long for the Xu family to be finished.

Yuxi naturally heard what Yunqing meant, and said immediately: "The magistrate of Xinping City has arrived." Seeing Yunqing's doubts, Yuxi said: "You don't remember, the new prefect of Tan belonged to my elder brother Doorman." It is equivalent to saying that this is one of our own. With prefect Tan, it will be much easier to bring down the Xu family.

Yun Qing suddenly came over and said, "I've been too busy recently, I forgot about it for a while."

Yuxi thinks that Yunqing is really good enough to forget such a big thing. Prefect Tan is one of them, so they don't know how much more convenient things will be in the future!

Just as she was talking, Mother Xi walked in quickly and said, "Ma'am, the girl is a little hot." Yuxi is now handing the jujube to Mother Lan. Mother Lan is very careful and experienced, so Yuxi is also relieved to hand over the child to her.

Hearing this, Yun Qing asked with a sullen face: "What's the matter? How can Zao Zao have a fever when it's fine?" Zao Zao was born at full term, and was healthy when she was born, and she hasn't been sick until now , didn't let Yuxi eat half a snack.

Yuxi did not pursue responsibility at this time, but rushed to see the child. When I entered the house, I saw Mother Lan feeding Zao Zao and drinking boiled water.

Seeing Yuxi, Mother Lan said: "Madam, the girl's fever is not high, give her some boiled water first, and then give her a warm bath later." Mother Lan is very experienced in taking care of children. In this regard, Mother Xi is no match.

Yun Qing asked suspiciously: "Is this useful?"

Mother Lan nodded and said: "The girl just got a little cold in the afternoon, let's cool her down like this first, if it can cool down, it's good, if not, I'll have to take medicine."

Yuxi said: "If you can not take medicine, let's not give her medicine!" The medicine is three-point poisonous, and such a young child is not willing to take that bitter medicine.

Only then did Yun Qing realize: "Did you call for a doctor?"

Mother Xi who walked into the room just heard this, and said: "General, I have sent for the doctor." Mother Xi sent for the doctor first, and then reported the matter to Yuxi and Yunqing.

ps: The fourth update is a bit difficult, but there must be a third update, o(╯□╰)o (to be continued)
