Chapter 79
Seeing Gu Jinchen walk back, the others hurriedly followed him as well.
When they saw him carrying and dragging a pile of wood frantically back, they were truly exhausted.
Silently, each of them took one piece and followed behind him.
Yesterday they did it three times, today two times, and the wood was almost enough.
After paying the wages for everyone's work these two days, Gu Jinchen immediately changed his clothes and went with his wife to the street.
These two days of helping out were considered temporary work, so the wages were paid daily. When they start building the house, the foreman will pay them monthly.
The foreman was the village chief's son, Gu Yun, Gu Jinchen's brother, who was specifically in charge of this kind of work and was a trustworthy person.
Normally for this kind of house-building work, the wages are given to the foreman, who then distributes them.
"Wife, let's go."
Gu Jinchen changed his clothes, then went to borrow a donkey cart and came back to call Luo Ge.
"Okay."
Big Brother Wang also had time, so he went with them as well.
The two couples accompanied each other, and there was a lot to chat about on the way.
...On this side.
As soon as the shopkeeper Li returned, he immediately arranged for people to follow Luo Ge's suggestion, brewing the pear paste into a fruit tea and serving it with some snacks for the customers in the shop to try.
Unexpectedly, this fragrant fruit tea actually made their shop lively again.
And the one who was delighted to see the current scene was not just the shopkeeper Li.
"Did she make an offer?"
Seeing the scene in front of him, Jiang Feng asked.
"No, Miss Gu just wants to see the result first." Hearing his master's words, shopkeeper Li shook his head and said truthfully.
Hearing what the shopkeeper Li said, Jiang Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.
They were all smart people, and it was easy to see the point. Looking at Luo Ge's intention, he still didn't understand anything.
He turned his head to look at the scene below the shop, nodded slightly, and patted the shopkeeper Li on the shoulder.
"Was that mooncake you brought back last time also made by her?"
Shopkeeper Li nodded: "Yes, I happened to deliver goods there that day and got a share."
Talking about the mooncake last time, shopkeeper Li really couldn't forget it, and he had long wanted to talk to Luo Ge about it.
This pastry called mooncake was truly different from their dry and powdery cakes.
It was also a taste he had never tried before, and from what he heard from Miss Gu, she had other pastries as well.
At that time, after he tried it, he wanted to discuss with the master about going to talk to Miss Gu.
But the master ordered him not to say much about this matter for now, so he put the idea aside.
After all, the master makes the decision, and in front of the master, he is just a errand boy, naturally he has to obey his orders.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng nodded, his gaze turning back to the shop below.
"I heard they are going to build a house these days? Replace some gifts for me and send them together."
"If you have time, let's go to the teahouse and have tea together." He added.
Undeniably, based on the experience of this period, this Luo Ge is indeed a capable person.
He also looked forward to what other surprises the partnership could bring.
Last time with the mooncake, he could see the other party's intentions, knowing that the other party wanted to make them take the initiative, so he naturally couldn't just let himself be manipulated.
So he ordered not to mention it, wanting to wear down the other party, let them want to come to him first to gain the initiative.
After all, they are businessmen, who doesn't want to profit, who doesn't have their own eyes?
But unexpectedly, the other party is able to be patient. He originally thought the other party depended on them to make money, but now it seems that they are more dependent on the other party.
Of course, this only applies in the vicinity of Yiyang Town.
To be able to do business to the current extent, he is naturally not the kind of fool who would let others manipulate him, so he only controlled this situation within Yiyang Town.
As for the capital city, he has dealt with it by claiming rare goods, and even earned a lot of personal favors.
Only, looking at the current situation in Yiyang Town, this Miss Gu is indeed a very worthy partner to cooperate with.
So, it's not impossible to give it a try.
Hearing the words of his master, shopkeeper Li's eyes lit up.
Hearing the master's intention, it seems that the cooperation with Miss Gu will succeed. However, the specific details of the cooperation still need to be discussed after the meeting.
"Okay, I understand." With that, he responded cheerfully and turned to arrange for more pears to be prepared.
This fruit tea and fruit candy are indeed very good, it's better to have Miss Gu's side make more, so that there won't be a shortage again.
