Chapter 154 Important Person
The shopkeeper believed it a little, but he still had doubts in his heart. He knew all the business people in the county, but he couldn't be sure who had hired this stranger.
"If you take it from me, I'll sell it to you at 45 cents a pound."
Tie Zhu laughed and lowered his voice to make sure only the two of them could hear him: "Boss, you're being ridiculous. If I'm not mistaken, this is something you brought from Mushan Village, right?"
The shopkeeper's face turned grim and unsightly: "Brother, if you already know, why are you still teasing me?"
Tiezhu quickly waved his hand: "To be honest, I do want to do business with them, but I'm looking for someone who knows the business... If you can introduce me to someone, I'll pay you!"
As he spoke, he took out some from his pocket, put it on the counter, and winked.
The shopkeeper thought to himself that his family was not the first to make sugar-roasted chestnuts, and they did not ask others to supply only to them. It was not a secret in the first place. If people really wanted to find out, it would only be a matter of time, so there was no harm in telling them.
Then he told the whole story of harvesting chestnuts.
After Tiezhu finished his business, he left Chunhe Teahouse and rushed to the agreed city gate. When he arrived, Fang Tong and the others were already waiting there.
As soon as Fang Tong saw him, he couldn't help but say, "Tiezhu! You never thought that my son and daughter would be chosen by the dean of the Juren Academy and be able to go to the academy!"
Tiezhu's eyes widened: "He also took Zhizhi?!"
"Of course," he said proudly, "My daughter is smart and clever, as good as anyone else's child, so why can't she study?"
This was really great news. Tiezhu picked up the little girl and made her giggle.
"Oh, by the way, I've seen scholars in the county town. They all have book boxes, so how can our children not have one? You two wait, when we get back to the village, I'll make one for each of you!"
"Okay! Thank you, Uncle Tiezhu, you're the best to me!"
Qin Yan also immediately thanked him politely.
Tiezhu was really happy. It was so rare to be a scholar. He didn't have the ability. Zhizhi was just like his own niece.
Now Qin Yan is also Fang Tong's son. It will be a great honor for him and his brothers to be able to study in such a good academy. When they get back and find out, they will be happier than him!
All the work in the county town was done today. They left the city together and talked about what Fang Tong had asked him to do on the way.
As expected, the people who supplied Chunhe Teahouse were from the old house, the Fang family of Mushan Village.
Tiezhu even found out the price: thirty-five cents per pound.
Fang Tong licked his back teeth and said, "Okay, got it."
He had a clear idea of the matter. Since they had already built the bridge, they couldn't be stopped. If the Fang family wanted to find a way on their own, it wouldn't be a big deal. But if he found out, what would they do?
He shook his head and put the matter aside for the time being.
Several people happily hurried home. Fang Tong thought for a long time about how happy his family, especially Qian Niang, would be after he told her about this matter. The corners of his mouth were curved when he entered the village.
Unexpectedly, before he reached the door, he heard his father's voice.
Hey, this is really something to talk about!
It can't be a good thing for his father to come to his house, especially at this critical moment!
"Dad, Grandpa's voice!"
Fang Nanzhi also heard it and looked up at her father.
"I heard you guys, don't rush in, Dad will go see what's going on!"
Fang Tong walked into the yard with a gloomy face, and saw Old Man Fang grabbing Fang Yin with one hand and pulling him out, while Fang Yin struggled back on his own.
"Come home with me! It's so embarrassing to live in someone else's house!"
Qian Fengping pulled Fang Yin anxiously and said, "If you have anything to say, wait until Fang Tong comes back. Let go first!"
At this moment, there was a noise at the door. Fang Tong glanced at the people in the yard. The kitchen door was closed at this moment. Normally, everyone should be busy at this time, but probably because they saw someone coming, no one came out.
"You're back. I'm here to take your second brother away. Don't stop me!"
Fang Tong raised his eyebrows, glanced at them, and said something that surprised everyone: "Oh, sure, let's go!"
Old Master Fang didn't expect this to happen. He was stunned for a moment and the person in his hand suddenly broke free.
Fang Yin hid behind Qian Niang and looked at his brother aggrievedly: "I won't leave!"
Fang Tong looked at his father calmly: "...How about I help persuade him?"
Old Master Fang was skeptical, not understanding how this idiot could have such a sudden change of heart. Didn't he and his second brother get along well? Shouldn't he have stopped him?
But he still nodded: "Persuade him, he must go back with me today, don't play any tricks!"
Fang Tong laughed dryly, thinking to himself, what's the point of playing tricks on him? He's not idle.
He pulled the man aside and lowered his voice: "Second brother, I know you don't want to go back, but listen to me, go back and take care of yourself. In two days, they will have to send you back."
Fang Yin still looked aggrieved, with his head lowered and silent.
"Don't you believe your brother's words?"
That’s not the case. He is just a little upset, but his brother never breaks his promise to him. He said he would come back, and he would definitely come back.
Fang Yin finally walked towards Old Man Fang reluctantly.
Fang Nanzhi leaned against the doorway, pouting at her father. Her father gave her a look and she fell silent.
Seeing that this man took away so easily, Mr. Fang was no longer in a hurry. He took two steps with his hands behind his back and looked at Fang Tong.
"I heard that your family has become rich?"
Fang Tong didn't say anything, thinking that he was getting too far. I asked you to take the person away, and you're still asking about it?
"Your family has harvested so many chestnuts in the village. Besides this business, what else do you do?"
As he asked, he glanced at the yard, but didn't see anything. The kitchen door was tightly closed. He wanted to see what they were doing, but he came alone today, so there was nothing he could do.
Fang Tong didn't have the patience to talk to him about these things. There was a big happy event in their family today, and who would have the patience to argue with him about these things.
"Alright, stop asking. I know you're also dealing in chestnuts and have gone to the county town to do business with someone. I'm well-informed. Do you really think you can hide this from me?"
He had a blank expression on his face. "You did it without any warning and secretly. I'm not going to pursue the matter because you're my father. Just drink some soup and I'll pretend I didn't see anything. Don't treat me as if I don't know what happened!"
Old Master Fang's heart skipped a beat, not sure what he meant. What was going on? Anyone could make money from this. Did he really have a way to deal with it?
Besides, the recipe from the third brother’s family should be given to him as a gift.
He couldn't figure it out, but he just felt that the third brother was not easy to deal with now, and he didn't want to stay here any longer. He pulled the reluctant Fang Yin and left in a daze.
Fang Tong stood at the gate of the yard, watching his back as he left, and sneered.
Do not care?
how is this possible.
