Chapter 22 It’s all her fault! (Ask for monthly ticket)
Just as Lu Jia expected, after the Yufeng and the He family made mistakes one after another, the rumors disappeared.
Early the next morning, Lu Jia and Qiuniang opened the shop. At first, a few people came to tentatively ask for the price, and then more and more people came to ask for the price. Lu Jia did not hesitate, and chose someone who spoke fluently and paid a deposit. Once handed over, the decision was made.
The tenant rents this shop to sell lotus seeds, which are seasonal cereals. Besides, the lotus seeds in Shawan County are very popular, so it is suitable for short-term rental.
Naturally, the family was happy to have a new account, but when Qiuniang heard that Lu Jia was really going to be an apprentice on the Hongtai ship, she couldn't help but worry: "Girl, are you really not planning to return to the capital?
"If nothing else, you are already fifteen. If you don't go back, what will happen to this marriage? There is no one who is worthy of you in Xiaoshawan County."
Besides, now that she knew Lu Jia's identity, Qiuniang didn't dare to make the decision.
Lu Jia didn't care at all: "Don't worry, I can make the decision myself about marriage."
What does it mean to be worthy? Not worthy?
The family status you married into in your previous life was not high enough? So what? As soon as you enter the waiting door, it is as deep as the sea. Just thinking about the Yan family from top to bottom, so many generations of main wives and concubines, makes your head hurt.
Qiuniang asked again: "Then when do you want to go back?"
She really wanted her to go back but was also afraid of her going back. The reason why I want her to go back is because the Zhang family has the heart of a wolf and might attract people like Li Er in the future. He didn't want her to go back, but he had raised his daughter since she was five years old. When she thought of leaving him, her heart ached like flesh.
"Don't worry. Even if you go back, it will be at least a year before you go back."
Lu Jia answered without thinking.
In her previous life, it was exactly a year later that she married into the Yan family instead of Lu Ying.
Is Lu Jia stupid? Running back at this time?
Anyway, the Jiang family didn't find her at this time. Why didn't she wait until the Jiang family could find any way to get rid of the Yan family's marriage proposal, so she could only send Lu Ying to a sedan chair to marry that pervert Yan Qu, and everything was finalized before she appeared again?
Qiuniang didn't know the inside story and always felt that this would delay Lu Jia, but seeing how confident she was, she refused to persuade her.
This girl has more ideas than she does. If the daughter-in-law of Li Daoshi next door hadn't talked about the Zhang family after meeting her a few days ago, Qiuniang would not have known that He was still arranging her behind her back, let alone that her daughter was trying to avoid giving up. Feeling sad, I settled the matter with Li Chang without saying a word.
Thinking of this, her feelings towards the Zhang family, which had long been cold, deepened further into the ice cave.
The blood-related natal family only plots against themselves, but the adopted daughter who is not related by blood always protects the family. This mother, it can be seen that the biological relatives are really not as good as the adopted ones!
Separated by a wall, Xie Yi sneezed: "Who scolded me?"
Lu Jia said: "Stop talking about him and answer my questions."
Xie Yi sighed: "How do I know what I can do? Apart from knowing how to read, write, and do abacus, I have never done anything else. How about I learn how to play suona from Uncle Li next door? Become a Taoist priest?" br>
Lu Jia slapped him on the back of the head: "Taoist priests have taken over the world, and you still want to be a Taoist priest! Let my mother-in-law find a good accountant for you and learn how to do accounts."
Now that the shop can collect rent, it's time for Xie Yi to start planning his future.
Although Lu Jia feels that in today's world, more upright people need to be in charge of the court to fight against traitors, but since Qiuniang is worried, she should learn to keep accounts first. It's okay to just hold on to the shop at home first.
After the family arrangements were made, Lu Jia arrived at the Hongtai the next day.
Shawan Rice Market relies on grain for its livelihood, including grain stores, warehouses, mills for processing rice, and rice stores that mainly sell rice.
Among them, there are three types of grain stores. One is specialized in selling rice and is operated in the middle. This is an authentic grain store and is called "Zose";
Second, in addition to rice, we also sell cotton, miscellaneous vegetables, native fruits, etc., which are called "colored";
The third is "Xise" which only deals in grains and cotton. Those who make Xise are usually from Jiangxi and are concentrated in Wanshou Palace in the lower reaches of Shawan.
Hongtaihao naturally belongs to "sitting color".
Not all those in Mishi are able to operate alone. Except for large firms like Zhang Family and Liu Xiyu, there are more firms that are jointly operated by many people.
This further demonstrates Liu Xiyu's ability as a businesswoman.
Lu Jia was led by Chen Quan, the grain harvesting master pointed out to her by Liu Xiyu, and learned about the grain bank's regulations and began to learn grain harvesting.
Harvesting grain is not just about looking at the scale. The quality, fullness, and unevenness of the grain all need to be evaluated. Some treacherous landowners will mix sand into the millet. The sand will leak from the cracks to the bottom and cannot be seen on the surface. At this time, it needs to be stirred up.
Chen Quan is a man in his thirties. His wife has given birth to a bunch of children for him. Just feeding a bunch of babies makes his hair turn gray.
There was also a commission for harvesting grain. Chen Quan worked hard all day long and could not make enough money. Who would have thought that the head of the family would give him a baby girl?
On the day they met, he stared blankly at Lu Jia for a long time, then went about his work with his head down.
Later, for several days, Lu Jia didn't see him say a word. He was as pitiful as an eggplant beaten by frost!
Lu Jia didn't tell him what to do.
It was noon this afternoon, and the shop was so busy that it was almost dark. Chen Quan had to go to Huashi on the outskirts of the city to see the food. He thought it was inconvenient to take Lu Jia with him, so he gave her a stack of food orders. : "Aren't you literate? This is the grain harvested today. I have checked out the quality of each household. You go back, sort these out, put them into a list, and hand it to the warehouse tomorrow."
It was the first time Xu had given her a task, and he didn't know whether it was reliable or not, so he added: "Don't let anything go wrong."
Of course, Lu Jia couldn't miss anything. Don't talk about what happened to him. Looking back on his salary being deducted, he just said that Liu Xiyu had already said it that day. Even if he committed a crime, he would do things according to the rules. How could she ruin what she finally got? opportunity?
She rolled the list into a tube and went home.
Sitting in the Yufeng, Mr. He watched Lu Jia come out of the Hongtai and walk past her, her eyes almost piercing through her eyes!
This damn girl not only ruined her business, but also colluded with Hongtaihao!
There are many outsiders at Shawan Wharf. In addition to local grain dealers, there are also people from nearby states and counties. The Yufeng suffered such a big loss that day, and it was really deserted for a while. Until the arrival of Boxin in recent days. After the merchant ship docked, her side was gradually improving, but in the end it was all broken!
Originally, she was promising a good start, but it turns out that she has only been able to maintain capital until now!
It's all caused by this damn girl from the Xie family, it's all caused by her!
She slammed the table: "Here comes someone!"
The servant came over immediately.
He looked at the gradually falling dusk: "Go to the street to find a few people and follow that bitch!"
