AWB Chapter 142 Visiting the Business
Chapter 142 Visiting the Business
The next morning, when Ye Chuyi walked out of the main courtyard, he saw Lian Yunxi holding a snow-white dog with a rare smile on his face.
"White cub?"
Ye Chuyi shouted with some uncertainty.
"Wang!"
The white cub wagged its tail happily and jumped out of Lian Yunxi's arms nimbly.
"When did you come out?"
If she remembered correctly, it had always been in the space, right?!
"I just saw it running over from the backyard. It was all wet. I thought it might have stayed away all night. I don't know where it went to play."
Lian Yunxi said this and twisted the towel in his hand.
With the sound of water dripping onto the ground, Ye Chuyi realized that the white cub's fur was wet and matted.
"Isn't your fur waterproof?"
Could this guy be doing this on purpose to get close to Lian Yunxi? I didn't expect her child to be a dog with only the attributes of a sea king.
Baizi stuck out his tongue again and again guiltily, "Isn't this more like a real dog?"
"I've never seen you so attentive before."
Ye Chuyi muttered as he walked out of the courtyard, and asked, "I want to go out and buy some things, would you like to come with me, village chief?"
Lian Yunxi was stunned by the question, "No, someone is coming to visit in the afternoon, and I still need to make some arrangements. Do you need me to call a few people for you, young lady?"
"No, I can just go by myself."
She could go by herself to conceal her tracks and get more things done.
Outside the house, Uncle Lin had already prepared a carriage for her.
What a mistake, she doesn't know how to drive a carriage.
"Miss, is there something wrong?" Uncle Lin saw her dilemma and stepped forward to ask.
"I forgot to call the driver."
Ye Chuyi felt so miserable that she could not even cry. It was really inappropriate to let an old lady go and call for help in the yard.
"Miss, wait a moment. I will ask Gu'er to call someone."
Lin Gu was also smart. Without waiting for his grandfather to call him, he turned around and ran towards the house.
"If you meet someone, just call him. Anyone who can drive a carriage will do."
Ye Chuyi quickly shouted at his back, fearing that he wouldn't be able to find anyone.
Not long after, Liu Gentou came out trotting along with Lin Gu.
"Why are you here?"
Ye Chuyi asked curiously, isn't this guy a close follower of his boss? How could he possibly break away from his boss one day?
"Hey, I heard that the young lady wanted to hire someone, so I hurried over here. If the young lady is not satisfied, I will go find someone else."
Liu Gentou smiled ingratiatingly, but his hands had already started to pull the reins skillfully.
Ye Chuyi looked at him with amusement, "No need, it's you."
"Miss, don't worry. You know how to drive a horse-drawn carriage steadily." Liu Gentou immediately responded in a loud voice, as if he was shouting deliberately for someone to hear.
"Let's find a food store and buy some things first."
Ye Chuyi gave an order and turned to walk into the carriage.
Although it is very important to stock up on cold-weather supplies, nothing can be done without points.
Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is to complete the system tasks first.
Once you get the points, you can naturally stock up more things.
Liu Gentou's driving was indeed very steady. Ye Chuyi took a nap in the car and hardly felt any bumps.
"Miss, we are here."
Ye Chuyi got off the carriage and was dazed when he saw the grain store in front of him.
This is much more impressive than the small grain stores in the previous county towns.
If I have to make a comparison, it would probably be like the small supermarkets and big shopping malls that can be found everywhere.
The name of the shop was not called a grain store, but there was a big plaque hanging in the middle with the words "Yun's Trading Company" written on it.
Who said that if you travel back to ancient times, you can just open a mall and make money! !
When I was outside, I could only feel the size and the lights, but once I got inside, it was simply beyond words.
Although it does not have as many cities as modern large shopping malls, the area it covers is indeed not small at all.
"What does this lady need?"
The tone of the greeting was so familiar that Ye Chuyi almost thought he had traveled back in time.
"Where is your food?"
Ye Chuyi asked as he looked around. If he looked closely, he could still see a lot of differences. There weren't as many dazzling shelves as in the current shopping malls.
The variety of natural goods was not as rich as it is today.
"Excuse me, young lady. If you want to buy food from our company, you need to provide your ID card. Could you please give me some convenience?"
The guy always had a smile on his face and didn't look down on Ye Chuyi just because he knew nothing.
I didn't expect it would be useful.
Ye Chuyi reached her hand into her sleeve, actually taking out the identity card that she had bought at a high price from the space.
The guy looked through it carefully and then returned the sign respectfully.
"Miss, please come in. I will take you to see the food."
Ye Chuyi nodded modestly and followed him slowly.
If there is something that interests me, I will stop and look at it for a while.
Even though I didn't buy anything, the clerk didn't get annoyed at all and just followed me respectfully.
It was not until he crossed most of the shop and lifted a curtain that covered the space that Ye Chuyi saw the neatly arranged grain inside.
There were many shelves inside, and on the shelves were many shallow storage baskets, similar to the ones used to store things in modern supermarkets.
And in those baskets, all kinds of grains were placed in different categories. Each grain had a label with the price on it, and they didn't look outrageously expensive.
Ye Chuyi walked around and finally stopped in front of the basket of brown rice.
I used to see rich people using white rice as porridge when they gave out food in TV dramas, and I didn’t think anything of it. But now I just think it’s ridiculous.
Instead of using expensive white rice, it is better to use aged brown rice. Although it does not look good, it can save more people.
"I want ten dan of brown rice, ten dan of aged rice, and two dan of white rice."
Ye Chuyi said this, pointing to the three things he wanted one by one.
Brown rice costs 80 wen per pound, old rice costs 90 wen per pound, and the white rice she was referring to is not the best, but it still costs 120 wen per pound.
The guy didn't expect she would want so much at once. It took him a long time to react, and the smile on his face became more sincere.
"Miss, please sit down for a while. I will go and call the shopkeeper."
"Yeah." Ye Chuyi sat down as he was instructed, and someone soon brought him tea and snacks.
She couldn't tell whether the tea was good or not, but the snacks looked exquisite, so she picked up one and started eating it slowly.
She was in a hurry to come out this morning and hadn't eaten anything.
Not long after, the waiter came over with a middle-aged man, followed by two other people who also looked like waiters from their attire.
"If the young lady likes this snack, my waiter will bring a few more boxes for Miss Yu."
The shopkeeper came up with a smile on his face.
