Chapter 234: A Deal Was Reached

“I hope that Dashan can bring my big brother and second brother along to work together for a while,” Qin Xiaoyao said.
“It won’t be too long. Just half a month thereabouts.”
“Later on, they can divide the markets in the town center district and the east of the town among themselves.”
Once the town gate was closed, Big Brother and Second Brother would not be able to go to the dock.
At that point, they would also need to look for new jobs.
However, in the current situation, there were shops in the town that were closed every day. How could it be so easy to land a job?
Wang Xiaomei did not agree immediately.
After a moment of hesitation, she nodded.
“Okay! With Big Brother Qin and Second Brother Qin around, it will be safer,” she said.
The corners of Qin Xiaoyao’s lips curled up. “Alright then.”
“When Eldest Sister-in-law Qin comes to work later, I will tell her about this. I will also request Big Brother and Second Brother to come over and help me build a few more sheds.”
Yes, Qin Xiaoyao was quite optimistic about Wang Dashan’s idea of selling door-to-door.
The town center and east of the town were quite far from the three markets where they were currently selling bean sprouts.
And right now, there were shortages in all kinds of resources.
If someone delivered the goods to their doorstep, she believed that many people would be willing to pay for them.
Maybe long-term orders were also possible.
She didn’t expect this business to last long. It was good enough as long as it could last until the next spring.
If she could grow a few more sheds of bean sprouts, even if she couldn’t do the business of selling water, century eggs, and straw sandals, she could still make a lot of money every day from the bean sprouts.
In fact, she might possibly earn more.
After all, there was a shortage of food at present and the price of bean sprouts had also increased.
In addition, if she expanded the market, she wouldn’t have to worry about not making a lot of money!
Upon hearing that Qin Xiaoyao wanted to build a few more sheds, Wang Xiaomei’s eyes lit up.
“Okay. Thank you, Mrs. Song!”
After talking to Qin Xiaoyao for a while longer, she went back to work.
A little later, Eldest Sister-in-law Qin came to work.
Before Qin Xiaoyao could tell her sister-in-law about this matter, her sister-in-law started complaining.
Not surprisingly, she was complaining about the town’s North Gate being closed ahead of time.
Sure enough, the situation was just as Qin Xiaoyao had expected.
Today, the North Gate was closed in advance, just like the West Gate.
Moreover, the government office quickly put up a notice in town, saying that the town gates would be closed from tomorrow onward, and the date for the reopening of the gates had not been determined yet.
“Your big brother and second brother are working at the dock. Our lives are just beginning to get better. Now that the town gates are closed, they can’t go to the dock. How are we going to live?” Eldest Sister-in-law Qin’s face was full of worry.
Qin Xiaoyao smiled and told her about the favor Wang Xiaomei had asked of her.
“Go to the town center district and the east of the town and sell bean sprouts door to door?” Eldest Sister-in-law Qin was quite surprised.
She thought about it and felt that it might work.
This was because the bean sprouts her younger sister-in-law grew were really good.
“Mm-hmm! If they’re willing, I’ll build a few more sheds in the courtyard.”
“I think it’s feasible! I’ll ask them when I go back!” Eldest Sister-in-law Qin said immediately.
Qin Xiaoyao nodded.
Then, she asked Eldest Sister-in-law Qin about other things.
“Any news from Zhang Laosan?”
Now that the town had been sealed off, and the Zhang family had not left yet, there was a high probability that they would not leave.
“Nope,” Eldest Sister-in-law Qin replied without raising her head. She was focused on carefully picking out the bean seeds.
Recently, the Zhang family members had been very well-behaved. Even when her father-in-law went to the market on West Street alone to sell bean sprouts and straw sandals, they did not approach him. At least, that was what she heard.
They also didn’t come to look for her and her husband, which was very good.
“Ah,” Qin Xiaoyao replied. More thoughts popped up in her mind.
It was good that they didn’t flee…
Later that night, the Song family had just finished dinner when Qin Dazhuang came to their house with his two sons.
They came to help build the sheds.
“How many sheds are you going to build this time, Younger Sis? Just leave everything to us!” Qin Dahu said.
“I’ll be able to come over and help tomorrow morning after I’m done selling the bean sprouts,” Qin Dazhuang added.
Ever since the locust plague occurred, the family had not bought or killed any pigs.
Now, he only took some bean sprouts and straw sandals from his daughter every day to sell in the market on West Street.
When the items were sold out or when it was time to close the stall, he could pack up early. He had a lot more free time on his hands now than in the past.
“Let’s build a few more this time and use up the entire piece of land over there.”
“Even if we can’t grow that many bean sprouts, we can use them to store firewood and the like,” Qin Xiaoyao said with a smile.
Not counting this time, her family had already built sheds twice in a row.
This time, Qin Xiaoyao thought she might as settle everything in one go and occupy that entire piece of land. It would also stop her mother-in-law from having ideas about continuing to grow vegetables there next year.
Their house was not far from the market on West Street, so they could buy whatever they wanted to eat from the market next year. There was really no need to expend time and effort to grow their own vegetables.
In this ancient era, they did not use pesticides on vegetable crops, and chemical fertilizers were not used either. There was not much difference between those vegetables bought in the market and those grown in one’s own home.
“No problem!” Qin Erhu answered readily.
He and his eldest brother were just worried that they would not have any work to do next, but his younger sister had already arranged things for them.
Now that his younger sister needed their help, they would definitely do their best.
After talking for a while, the three of them went to the courtyard and started working.
Qin Xiaoyao also went up to help out, noting down the required materials and other stuff.
And so, the Song family’s new project began.
The next day, Qin Xiaoyao went to Link Trading early in the morning to meet with Deputy Shopkeeper Wei.
As soon as she arrived, Deputy Shopkeeper Wei came out to receive her and brought Qin Xiaoyao to the backyard.
In the backyard, Link Trading grain store’s current shopkeeper, Shopkeeper Pan, was already waiting.
Deputy Shopkeeper Wei introduced the two of them, and then the three of them launched straight into the main topic.
“Thank you for choosing our store, Madam Qin. Our Link Trading will accept your 4400 catties of grain,” Shopkeeper Pan said to Qin Xiaoyao.
“I wonder when will Madam Qin be able to deliver the goods?”
This time, his deputy Wei was really lucky to have encountered such a good piece of luck.
It was also thanks to the fact that this kid didn’t have enough money in his hands and came to look for him, otherwise Shopkeeper Pan wouldn’t have been able to get a share of the loot.
Naturally, it was better to close the deal as soon as possible.
Yesterday afternoon, the government office had just issued a notice to seal off the town. The grain price would continue to rise.
Just today, some grain stores had already raised the price of brown rice and coarse flour to 30 copper coins.
It was only a matter of time before it rose again.
Qin Xiaoyao saw that the other party was very forthright and didn’t haggle on the details.
“I can send them tonight,” she said.
After pondering a while, she asked, “Where do you need me to send them to?”
Shopkeeper Pan’s eyes flickered and he exchanged a glance with Deputy Shopkeeper Wei. Then, he smiled.
“Since Link Trading bought the goods, they should be sent to Link Trading.”
“How about this? After 11 pm, Deputy Shopkeeper Wei and I will wait for you here, Madam Qin. What do you think?”
Since they were taking the goods for themselves, they couldn’t let others catch on to what they were up to.
A look of realization flashed across Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes.
“Sure! I’ll arrange for someone to deliver the goods on time,” she said.
She was very confident in her martial skills and did not believe that these two people would try to snatch her goods.
Of course, she wouldn’t deliver the goods alone either.
She would call upon her father and two brothers. The four of them would be able to deliver all the goods in two trips.
