Chapter 204 Song Brothers
Song Jin came back with two people.
They are about seventeen or eighteen years old. Judging from their somewhat similar appearance, they are a pair of brothers.
On the way back, Song Jin had already learned about the situation of the brothers. Their parents had an accident when they were young, and their grandparents also died young. They grew up with support from uncles and other families, and later learned martial arts from an old bodyguard.
Not burdened by family, but also somewhat capable.
Therefore, let the old patriarch choose.
While you''re young, it''s time to go out and have a try.
Shopkeeper Ao looked at her secretly and asked tentatively: "Are you the children of Songjiazhuang?"
"Exactly, my name is Song Xiaodong."
Song Xiaodong stood up and introduced himself, "I know you. You are the shopkeeper of Shun''an Trading Company. You came to Songjiazhuang last month."
Shopkeeper Ao''s mouth twitched slightly.
If you don''t mention this, it will make you more agreeable. Because the memory of going to Songjiazhuang is not pleasant.
White lotus is harvested in seven months.
In August, huanghuali matures.
Last month, Shopkeeper Ao went to Songjiazhuang to buy Bailian, but was told that it had been purchased long ago. When he wanted to order Huanghuali for August, he was told that someone had already ordered it.
People have already placed a deposit.
This meant that he could only watch.
Shopkeeper Ao patted Song Xiaodong on the shoulder, with a shrewd look in his eyes, "If you want to follow Mr. Song, then we will be our own people from now on. I heard that in your village, every household will be allocated some pears, and your family also Is there any?"
"Yes, how much do you want?"
Song Xiaodong was about to say something.
Suddenly remembering that the old patriarch told them to listen to Song Jin in the future, he looked up at Song Jin and said, "Young patriarch, um, hey, he asked me to buy huanghuali."
"If you want to sell it, sell it to him. He won''t dare to cheat his own people."
Song Jin came by chance.
It is the time when huanghuali is ripe.
Just picked the first crop.
At this moment, Lao Huo and Qin Ba moved a basket of huanghuali from the carriage.
Shopkeeper Ao looked at it and his eyes lit up.
This pear was brought onto the carriage by the old patriarch.
The yellow pears are very tempting at first sight.
Song Jin picked up one, smelled it, wiped it with a handkerchief, put it in his mouth and took a bite, "It is indeed the famous huanghuali, juicy and sweet."
Jianning huanghuali is famous all over the world, not without reason.
Because it is really delicious.
Shopkeeper Ao pulled Xiaodong aside and muttered. The more the conversation continued, shopkeeper Ao looked happy.
Wait for shopkeeper Ao to leave in a hurry.
Song Jin was sitting on a chair in the hall eating pears.
Qin Qi and Qin Ba were also on the side, each holding a pear and gnawing on it, and Song Xiaocheng also had one in his hand.
Song Xiaodong said: "Young patriarch, I am going back to the village tomorrow morning. Shopkeeper Ao said he wanted to buy pears, which just solves the village''s problem."
"What''s going on?"
Song Jin also noticed something interesting here.
The white lotus and huanghuali in Songjiazhuang have always been in short supply, and suddenly they are unsalable. It is likely that someone is causing trouble.
Song Xiaodong knew that Song Jin came from the same family.
The old patriarch also said that she is the young patriarch of the family, so she is naturally a trustworthy person.
At this time, Song Xiaodong looked angrily and said: "It''s the merchant who made the deposit before. Suddenly he said he wouldn''t buy it and didn''t ask for the deposit. We can''t force people to buy it? The patriarch contacted other merchants. Guess what?"
Everyone in the hall was attracted.
Song Jin looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
Song Xiaodong said angrily: "It''s the manager of the second house of the Liu family who is causing trouble. He has stopped the merchants in the city from buying pears from Songjiazhuang. He also said that if we don''t sell them to him at a low price, he will let the pears rot on the mountain."
If I had the support of my family before. They don''t have to worry, but something happened to our family.
Song Jin was surprised, "The patriarch didn''t mention this to me."
"The patriarch probably doesn''t want to trouble you."
Song Xiaodong touched the back of his head and said.
Song Jin asked: "If no one buys here, what will you do?"
"The clan leader is contacting the clansmen in several neighboring states and asking them if they want it. If it is a long way, it will not be possible. The loss on the road will be relatively large."
The picked huanghuali can only be stored for more than ten days, but it can actually be transported to other places for sale.
The problem is that if the Liu family is determined to cause trouble, the pears may not be able to get out.
Song Jin asked curiously: "Does the Liu family value something like Songjiazhuang? His family also has a pear orchard. He donates a large amount of money every year, which is equal to the annual income of Songjiazhuang. It is necessary to make the food look so ugly and ruin the reputation."
"I don''t know about this."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Song Xiaodong was also confused.
Qin Bada''s eyes lit up, "This designation was not the Liu family''s idea. It is probably because someone is arrogant and wants to make money by using the Liu family''s name."
"That''s what I thought too."
Songjiazhuang existed not for one or two years, but for decades.
If the Liu family could take a liking to it, they would have taken action long ago. Why should they wait until this year?
What''s more, there are several Liujia Liyuan, which are no smaller than the hills in Songjiazhuang.
Song Jin added: "This matter is easy to solve. Let the clan leader find a way to bring the matter to the head of the Liu family. The Liu family donates relief every year and should pay attention to reputation. Remember, let the clan leader be more concealed and don''t make trouble. It’s too big, so as not to bring shame on the head of the Liu family.”
Song Xiaodong suddenly realized.
Immediately he was surprised again.
"Young patriarch, I want to go back now." Song Xiaodong wished he could go back and talk to the old patriarch now.
Song Jin looked at the dark night outside, "It won''t take more than an hour and a half. We will go back tomorrow morning. Xiaoba, take them down to rest."
"yes."
Qin Ba threw away the core in his hand.
He bent down and grabbed one from the basket, put it in his arms and took it away.
Qin Qi''s eyelids jumped.
Song Jin was amused, "Just leave a few for me, and share the rest among everyone."
Qin Ba just stepped out of the threshold.
Hearing this, the leg slowly retracted, "Xiaodong and Xiaocheng, do you want to divide the pears before going down to rest?"
The brothers nodded repeatedly.
The two of them can share a few, of course they are happy.
Every year, the best pears are picked and sold, and the remaining crooked melons, cracked dates, and jujubes are eaten.
After Song Jin left, others had no worries.
A few more days passed.
Song Jin basically knew the situation in Jianzhou, but there was no news from shopkeeper Ao. When asked, he always said that he was investigating.
"Is there really no news from Shopkeeper Ao?"
Song Jin was sitting in the hall, holding a cup of tea in his hand, meditating on the solution.
Qin Ba said seriously: "The speed of this investigation is very slow. Do you want me to supervise Shopkeeper Ao?"
"Actually, he has tried his best to inquire, but they all said that there is no such person as Gan Jiabao." Qin Qi said this suddenly.
Song Jin was silent again.
In this case, either he was not a Dan citizen from Jianning, or Gan Jiabao''s name was false, or his name was real, but he used a false name when walking outside.
Song Jin suddenly had a plan in mind.
She called Qin Ba and gave a few instructions in a low voice.
Qin Ba''s eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this, and he quickly nodded and left.
