Chapter 230 Doing Business with Gao Shen
Chapter 230 Doing Business with Gao Shen
Over the next two days, Wang Qiushi spread rumors in the village that Xie Jiaojiao's family had money and looked down on the poor villagers. Sun Ruhua was so angry that she took her things and went straight to the village chief's house, where she told him about how she had brought Chen Zimo to her house to be the shopkeeper.
When Chen Shouren heard this, he got very angry and sent Wang Qiushi back to her parents' home that same day. Everyone in the village saw this and it became clear who was right and who was wrong.
Moreover, everyone knew that Wang Qiushi's elder brother and sister-in-law had extorted fifty taels of silver from Wang Po's house last time, so everyone knew clearly who was the bad person who despised the poor and loved the rich.
Xie Jiaojiao didn't care about this matter. She was busy packing up and preparing to go to Jiangbo City these two days.
On the first day when she was about to leave, Gao Shen came again, which surprised Xie Jiaojiao.
As soon as he heard the report, he hurried out to meet them.
Gao Shen has become a lot whiter and fatter.
As soon as he saw Xie Jiaojiao, he bowed and said, "Sister, we meet again."
"Brother Gao, why did you come so early this year?"
Gao Shen smiled and said, "It snowed earlier last year, so the weather is getting warmer earlier this year. Besides, we've already spent our New Year money, so shouldn't we go out and earn money earlier?"
Xie Jiaojiao quickly welcomed the person in.
Gao Shen held a bundle in his hand and handed it to Xie Jiaojiao: "This is a gift from your sister-in-law."
"sister in law?"
Gao Shen smiled and said, "A pair of fur gloves. I wanted to make you a pair of boots, but I didn't know your foot size. She said she wanted to thank you for the brown sugar she gave her!"
"Sister-in-law, why are you so polite?"
"It should."
Sun Ruhua was busy in the backyard. When she heard that there were guests at home, she immediately went to the front yard.
When he saw it was Gao Shen, he immediately greeted him with a smile and asked Gao Shen to stay for a simple meal. Then he went to the backyard to catch a chicken and kill a rabbit.
Gao Shen looked really embarrassed and said to Xie Jiaojiao, "I'm sorry to trouble you again."
"Nowhere is there!"
Gao Shen glanced around and asked, "Where's your husband? Why didn't I see him today?"
Handing the bag in her hand to Cuizhu, Xie Jiaojiao replied, "He went to the river to fish."
"He still has this hobby!"
Xie Jiaojiao poured him some tea: "That's right."
Gao Shen took a sip of tea and began to say, "I passed by Jiangbo City and heard from Shopkeeper Chen that you are no longer cooperating with the previous company for your soy sauce and brown sugar?"
When it comes to this, Xie Jiaojiao also took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Brother Gao is very well-informed about this news."
Gao Shen smiled and said, "For people like us who travel all over the country, if the news is bad, the money will be earned by others."
Hearing him say this, Xie Jiaojiao nodded in agreement: "Indeed, if Brother Gao wants to do these two businesses this year, we can cooperate."
Hearing Xie Jiaojiao say this, Gao Shen slammed the table, shocking Xie Jiaojiao: "I've been waiting for you to say this! You don't know, I've been eyeing these two deals for a long time, just waiting for you to give in!"
"Hahaha...Brother Gao, to be honest, if you didn't come to me, I would have gone to ask about you."
After Xie Jiaojiao finished speaking, Gao Shen also laughed: "Thank you, sister."
Xie Jiaojiao waved her hand: "It's just a win-win situation!"
Next, they discussed the details of the cooperation. Soy sauce is always available, but sugarcane is only available during the harvest in autumn and winter. However, Xie Jiaojiao still had some left at home from last year, so she gave it all to him.
As for the soy sauce, Gao Shen asked for a lot of it right away.
"Brother, do you want it now?"
Gao Shen nodded.
"But you just got here, didn't you? Why are you running back right away?"
Gao Shen waved his hand and said, "How could that be? I can just find someone to make this for you and send it back. I have my own brothers over there to help."
Xie Jiaojiao nodded. So that’s how it is.
"Do you usually travel by water or by land?"
"Why? Girl, are you interested?"
Xie Jiaojiao didn't hide it and nodded directly.
Gao Shen said directly that for dry goods, they would directly transport them by land, but if it was something else that was heavy, they would transport it by water. They were afraid of moisture during work, and heavy things would be expensive to transport by land, so it was not cost-effective.
Xie Jiaojiao nodded as she listened, having learned something or two.
Gao Shen asked again: "Tian Hu is also in Jiangbo City, right?"
Xie Jiaojiao refilled his teacup with water and asked, "Did you see him when you went to Jiangbo City?"
"I heard what Shopkeeper Chen said, so I came to you in a hurry and didn't have time to see him."
Just as he finished speaking, Jiang Weinan came in from outside carrying two fish: "Xie Jiaojiao, look, I caught two big ones!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Gao Shen and quickly handed the fish in his hand to Lai Fu. He walked to Gao Shen, who immediately stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "It's been a long time since we last met. Brother Jiang looks stronger!"
Jiang Weinan also smiled and said, "In terms of strength, I'm still not as strong as Brother Gao!"
Xie Jiaojiao heard them talking and took the fish from Lai Fu: "Husband, you talk to Brother Gao. I'll take these two fish to the kitchen and let mother cook them."
Jiang Weinan nodded: "Go ahead, tell mom not to put too much chili in it, Brother Gao can't stand spicy food."
Gao Shen pointed at him and said, "Brother, you still understand me."
After Xie Jiaojiao left, Jiang Weinan and Gao Shen said this. They had known each other for a long time and had returned to the north together before.
Gao Shen said to him, "I see that your marriage will be one year in two months, and your sister-in-law is still pregnant?"
When it comes to this, Jiang Weinan's face becomes embarrassed, he hasn't even had his wedding night yet!
He touched his nose and said, "Don't worry, she is busy with business all day and has no time!"
Gao Shen smiled and shook his head when he heard this, and jokingly said, "Are you too weak?"
"How is that possible? Look at my body!" He patted his chest.
Gao Shen smiled and said nothing.
"How long will Brother Gao stay in Jiangbo City?"
"About half a month!"
"That's fine. We're going to Jiangbo City in the next two days. I'll invite you for a drink then!"
Gao Shen nodded and said, "You guys are going to Jiangbo City too? Okay, I'll get you some supplements I brought from the north, you and your sister-in-law can eat them together, it will be good for your health and will also make it easier for you to have children!"
Jiang Weinan didn't do what he thought, he just nodded.
……
Gao Shen looked at the large table of lunch and felt very embarrassed. He asked someone to get a bag of herbs and gave it to Sun Ruhua: "Aunt, you see, every time I come here, I make you tired. I feel really bad. Take these herbs to nourish your body!"
Sun Ruhua didn't want it, Gao Shen pretended to be angry: "Auntie, if you don't want it, then I won't eat it either..."
"Okay, mom, just take it!"
Sun Ruhua accepted it and said, "I'm so sorry, this food is not worth much money, and I'm sorry for making you spend money."
Gao Shen smiled and said, "Every time I come here, it's my aunt who cooks for me personally. I feel embarrassed."
