Chapter 119 I Don't Know How to Do This Business
Although she hasn't bought any wine recently, Liang Hongyu comes to buy braised food from time to time, and they often chat for a sentence or two, so they have become familiar with each other.
But he obviously didn't come here to buy braised food. He came here to chat with her?
Cheng Yue stood at the door and greeted with a smile, "Sister Liang, why are you here at this time?"
Liang Hongyu looked behind her, pulled Cheng Yue and frowned, saying, "I came here just because I saw those two people leave."
Cheng Yue instinctively knew that Liang Hongyu had something to say, so she took her into the lobby and said, "Sister Liang, do you know them?"
Liang Hongyu said: "How come I don't recognize her? The one who just left is the madam of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and the one who left before is from Yichun Courtyard. Both of them have cooperation with our liquor store.
But we no longer supply alcohol to Yichunyuan, that madam can’t do that!”
After saying that, he curled his lips towards the outside of the door with a look of disdain on his face.
It was like someone was sending her a pillow when she was sleepy. She was just thinking about asking someone when Liang Hongyu came. She had cooperated with Yichunyuan before, and it sounded like there was something unpleasant going on.
Cheng Yue said, "Sister Liang, to be honest, they came here to discuss business. I have already reached an agreement with Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and I want to inquire more about Yichunyuan."
Liang Hongyu clapped her hands and said, "I guessed it, that's why I came here. There's nothing wrong with Xiaoxiang Pavilion. It's relatively clean, and the madam is not bad either. Business is still good.
Yichunyuan is not so clean. The madam is not a good person. She accepts all kinds of people and is a little too greedy for money. Anyway, I don't like her.
A few years ago, someone died in her family. Who knows if she forced a woman of good character into prostitution? Anyway, it’s better to stay away from her. "
Even though it was a brothel, forcing women of good character into prostitution was against the law, and causing death was even more serious. Cheng Yue asked, "Then the government won't do anything about it?"
Liang Hongyu shook her head and whispered, "Our County Magistrate Xu is indeed an honest official, but Yichunyuan cannot be managed as you wish. It's hard to say that they have connections above them, so who dares to manage it?
To be honest, if my man's cousin wasn't capable, it would have been difficult for us to exit the business.
In short, we should stay away from such places. As ordinary people, we should just do business in peace and not get involved with such people."
Places like brothels are the most suitable for gathering information, as everyone has their own backers.
How to do business and what kind of business to do are all decided by the people behind the scenes.
Who knows what's going on in secret?
Cheng Yue nodded and said, "Thank you, Sister Liang. I won't do this business."
Mother Qin's attitude was still polite. After thinking about it, Cheng Yue guessed that it was because of Mr. Chen Sanye and the others.
In this case, there won’t be any harm in refusing.
Liang Hongyu patted Cheng Yue's hand and said with a smile, "That's good. If you have any questions in the future, feel free to ask me. Although we don't have any great skills, we have been doing business in the county for a long time, so we know a lot of things."
They are all doing business on the same street, so they should take care of each other. She is not the kind of petty person who cannot bear to see others doing better than her.
The most important thing is that she could see that Cheng Yue was worth making friends with. If he was the kind of person with ulterior motives, she would definitely not come to him and say anything.
"Okay, I will definitely not be polite to you if I have something to say in the future. Sister Liang, I will go and prepare some stewed food for you as a thank you gift. Please wait for me for a while."
The other person was so kind-hearted that he was willing to come to her house and tell her, which saved her a lot of worry. Otherwise, she wouldn't have known who to find out. She must definitely thank him.
Liang Hongyu waved her hands, "No, no, you keep it and sell it for money. If I want to eat it, I can buy it myself!"
With that, he ran back to the wine shop.
Cheng Yue couldn't stop her, so she simply packed one herself and asked Chen Lin to deliver it over.
If she went to see him off, she might take a long time to come back.
Chen Lin had just returned when Liu Dazhuang also drove over on a bullock cart and said hurriedly, "Sister Cheng, I'm late today. I'm sorry to have delayed your work..."
Cheng Yue looked over and saw that Liu Dazhuang's feet were covered in yellow mud. She couldn't even see what his shoes looked like, and the sleeves of his pants were also dirty.
So he said, "It's not a big deal. The road is hard to walk on today and we came here late. Did you fall?"
Liu Dazhuang scratched his head and said nonchalantly, "I did fall, but I'm thick-skinned and it doesn't hurt! You better be careful when you go home.
Sister Cheng, the goods have been delivered, I will leave first, I have to rush to deliver to other houses. "
If he hadn't been helping an elderly couple, he would have held the ox cart tightly and definitely wouldn't have fallen. However, he was too lazy to mention such a simple task.
Cheng Yue told Liu Dazhuang that she would send a few more chickens and ducks in the future. Liu Dazhuang agreed with a smile and left.
"Xiao Lin, Shao Wen, Chang Yong, you move the chickens and ducks to the backyard and cut them up first. I'll clean up here. Let's hurry up and go home early after we're done."
Seeing that the braised food had been sold out, Cheng Yue asked the three of them to go and cut up the chickens and ducks first. The road was difficult to travel today and it had delayed them. If they got home late, it would be dangerous if they couldn't see the road clearly.
"Okay!" The three of them knew that they couldn't delay any longer, so they responded and started moving immediately.
Cheng Yue picked up the rag and wiped the table. After cleaning up, she went into the kitchen and prepared to make a pot of stew.
There are not many people today, and she doesn't want to waste time cooking a few dishes, so she just stews the dishes and adds a basket of white flour buns.
While the stew was going on, the three of them had prepared the chicken and duck. Cheng Yue started stewing the food on the stove before eating.
In the afternoon, after all the braised food was ready, Cheng Yue and the others hurried home.
The weather was not good. It started raining halfway through the journey. Fortunately, the rain was not heavy. We had prepared raincoats this morning.
Only Daniu was soaked in the rain, which made Chen Lin feel sorry for him all the way. He said that when he returned home, he would make a raincoat for Daniu.
The weather was bad, so there was no one chatting at the entrance of the village today. Cheng Yue felt uncomfortable with this for a while.
"Listen, is there anyone crying?"
Zhao Changyong frowned, as he always felt that there was a faint sound of crying coming from the village.
After he said that, everyone held their breath. The sound of the rain was quite loud, but if you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't be able to hear it.
Zhang Shaowen put his hand to his ear, listened for a while and said, "It seems so, but I can't hear it clearly. It shouldn't be coming from the village."
Cheng Yue also heard it, but couldn't tell what the crying was, so she had to drive the ox cart back to the village.
The closer they got to the end of the village, the louder the crying became. They could vaguely tell it was a child crying. Cheng Yue felt uneasy and had a feeling that it was not a good thing.
Zhao Changyong's heart was in his throat. His home was at the end of the village, and the crying sound came from there!
It rained so hard this morning, could something have happened at home? Thinking of this, Zhao Changyong could no longer sit still, and said anxiously, "Sister-in-law Cheng Yue, I'll go take a look first!"
As he said this, he jumped off the ox cart and limped quickly towards home.
