C69 Absent-mindedness

Luo Mannmann took out two whole strings of coins from her purse and gave them to him. "Then thank you, Big Brother Zhu. It's exactly two hundred coins. You can count it."

"Alright, what are you counting? Can you not count me in?"

"Hehe, Big Brother Zhu is truly a straightforward person. Oh right, did you not sleep well last night? Why doze off so early in the morning? "

"Don't mention it. There's an extra kid at home. It's only been a month or so, and he's been crying all night. It's so noisy that people can't sleep all night?"

Zhu Xiaokang's face was filled with both helplessness and happiness. He only came out to set up a pork stall every day because he didn't have much time to eat with his mouth open.

"It's a good thing that sister-in-law has given birth to another one. It's a man and a woman?" Congratulations. "

"The boss is a boy, this little girl is a girl." Zhu Xiaokang smiled.

"It's so good to have girls and girls here. Big Brother Zhu, why can't others be envious of your luck? I'll leave first, come over to Xiao Family when you have time. " Luo Mannmann waved at him and walked away.

After leaving the pork stall, Luo Mannmann bought a basket full of vegetables, such as winter melon, pumpkin, green vegetables, and a bag of rice as well as some salt and vinegar for cooking.

When Luo Mannmann brought all these items onto the oxcart, she was already panting from exhaustion. Luckily, the rice was delivered by the shop owner, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to carry it by herself.

"Mrs. Xiao, you bought so many things." Big Uncle Zhang immediately took the basket and carried it to the oxcart.

"That's right, but with so many dishes, we'll probably finish them in a day or two. It'll be tiring just thinking about coming back to town the day after tomorrow." Luo Mannmann wiped the sweat off her forehead.

"Mrs. Xiao, how about this? You go to those families and order some food. I will go to the town to help you get some fresh food and meat every day or the next day. This way, you can save yourself the trouble of running back and forth."

"That's a good idea." Luo Mannmann's eyes lit up when she heard that. "Thank you, Big Uncle Zhang."

Big Uncle Zhang laughed, "Don't mention it, the car money you gave me was even worth half a month's worth of my income. I'm not even happy yet."

He was an honest man, and he knew how to be content with what he had. After all, he had taken too much money, so he didn't do anything. Instead, he felt uneasy in his heart.

Luo Mannmann thanked Old Uncle Zhang and gave him more than a dozen copper coins.

"Big Uncle Zhang, I still want to take a look around. Can you wait for me to take the ox-cart back for lunch?"

"Fine, fine, fine. Mrs. Xiao, no problem." Old Uncle Zhang thanked her happily.

Luo Mannmann leisurely walked on the street, as if she didn't fit in with the bustling crowd around her. The town was still bustling with activity and there were many pedestrians. There were rows upon rows of shops on both sides of the street.

He didn't know which street they were on, but there was an elegantly decorated shop right in front of him. The sign was decorated with the words' Beautiful Hall '. The shop assistant inside looked to be in good spirits and was enthusiastically entertaining the customers.

Hell, why did she come here? This seemed to be Qian Jingui's shop. This was probably the last time the two of them would work together, she didn't want to get into any unnecessary trouble because of money.

On the other side of the street, Qian Jingui was wearing a dark purple robe as he walked over. The purple color made him look even more noble. Looking at the girl in front of him, Qian Jingui was surprised and pleasantly surprised.

Luo Mannmann had also said that she didn't like him, so what was the solution for standing outside his shop and looking around? His eyes that had lost its luster for the past few days began to look around in anticipation. He hastened his steps and walked in front of her. Looking at her delicate and pretty face, he said gently, "Mannmann …"

"Why are you here?" Luo Mannmann was shocked.

"I'm fine at home. I must be walking back and forth between bunks every day. What a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you, Mannmann …" Qian Jingui's clear and sonorous voice sounded a bit creepy.

"Cough …" I was just passing by, don't misunderstand. "

"Mannmann, the aloe formula you mentioned is really good. I've prepared it for the servants to try, and the effect is really good. The store is already supplying it, and the customers also say that this new formula is more useful. Do you want to take a look?"

"No need, I believe you will do very well. This is a piece of cake for you." Luo Mannmann's tone was slightly cold as she refused to have the chance to cross paths with him.

"Oh right, every month's bonus, you help me store it in the bank and hang my name there. I will naturally get it. This is our last collaboration."

"Why? Business is business, emotion is emotion. I believe you aren't such an indistinct person? "

"Then you are wrong, I am such an unclear person. We are not people of the same world, I also don't want to intrude into your world, much less hurt Xiao Yiming.

"Luo Mannmann's firm tone sounded light as a feather. Qian Jingui felt uncomfortable listening to her, like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky.

"Mannmann, I … I'm sorry …" "I was too reckless, business is business, it should be your bonus, I won't be harsh on you, I hope we still have a chance to work together."

This was the first time in Qian Jingui's life that he apologized to others. He was upset that his recklessness made the girl he liked go further and further away, but Luo Mannmann was different from other girls. He had to think of another way, otherwise the distance between the two of them would get further and further apart.

Luo Mannmann felt it was a pity to discard such a good partner, but Xiao Yiming was very sensitive and was afraid that he would be jealous. Previously, she didn't have the money or influence to borrow Qian Jingui to open up the market, but now she could do it alone.

Seeing that he still wanted to say something, Luo Mannmann coldly said,

Don't talk about it anymore, I was almost killed by you, and I was also almost responsible for killing others. You and I will stop here, I will split this year's bonus. From next year on, no matter how much you earn or how little you earn, we will not owe each other anything.

The profit for the first half of the year was the highest for new products.

"Oh right, you have three shop assistants, right? I suggest you hire a good-looking female worker. The three of them wear the same uniform. Firstly, it will enhance your store's image, and secondly, it will refresh the customers."

Luo Mannmann threw down these words and quickly walked away, afraid that the ferocious beasts would catch up to her.

Qian Jingui applauded and applauded her new suggestion. He looked at her back with disappointment. Did he have no fate with this girl after all?

"..."

Inside the Qian Family living room

Crackling sounds could be heard along with the sound of tea leaves falling onto the ground …

"Madam, please calm your anger and don't ruin your body." The butler was scared and didn't dare to make a sound.

"Did you see that woman's appearance clearly?" I can't allow this child to do whatever he wants. He finally married my wife and gave up on her without a second thought. Did he ask me, his mother, for advice? His wings had really hardened!

Not long ago, the Old Master had praised that Gui was quite capable in business and had developed a new domain for Qian Family … I thought that the two of us elders would be able to feel at ease this time, but it turns out that you're doing this again, are you trying to anger me to death? "

After hearing the butler's report, Lady Qian was so angry that her body trembled.

The housekeeper had always been one of Lady Qian's confidants, so he cautiously interrupted and said respectfully, "Madam, didn't you dislike that cuckoo before?"

Lady Qian's expression was gloomy. She sighed, "I don't really like her, but she is still the daughter-in-law that the old gramps wishes to betroth himself to. I don't want to give the old master any face, but I can't do anything without interfering now."

The steward had been working in the Qian House for more than ten years. He had been working from an ordinary servant to this position. Naturally, he had his own opinions.

"But Young Master really likes that Miss Luo. Without burying Madam, a few of the recipes for the pretty hall in Young Master's shop were provided by Miss Luo, and such a talented young lady with business talent like this can only be found by chance in the Qian Family. Moreover, Young Master is someone who does great things, he will definitely have three wives and four concubines in the future …"

The butler kept quiet at the right time. Lady Qian's face lit up. She thought for a moment and said, "Does that mean you have a beautiful matter to attend to? "Follow closely and get to know that girl's background. When the time comes, I will personally meet her."

"Madam, please be at ease. If anything new happens, this old servant will definitely inform you in time." The butler wiped off his sweat.

After purchasing everything she needed to buy in the morning, Luo Mannmann was just about to go back when she saw a waiter greeting her with a smile, "Miss, I've finally found you. My boss has an invitation?"

"Boss?" Luo Mannmann pondered for a moment. She did not recognize the person in front of her. "I still have some matters to attend to. Next time."

Before Luo Mannmann could take a few steps, a middle-aged man walked over. His heavy voice was loud and clear, "Your bearing is quite big, young lady? "You're not giving me any face?"

The middle-aged man standing in front of her had a big stomach and wore a brown robe. He had a dark green belt tied around his waist, and a round face hung a smile on Zou Mei's face.

Luo Mannmann quickly searched her memory and suddenly had an impression. "You are Xiangzhu's Boss Qiu?"

Boss Qiu's eyes lit up, "Miss, my bunk is right in front of you. Please take a seat."

"Since Boss Qiu is so hospitable, then I'll accept it." Luo Mannmann followed the shop into the backyard. The waiter had sharp eyes. After the two of them took their seats, he immediately served them tea and snacks.

Ever since he missed that opportunity, Boss Qiu had instructed the shop assistant to pay extra attention to the movements in the town. As soon as he saw that mysterious lady again, he would immediately report to her.

"Miss, I'm being a bit presumptuous. Come, have some tea and have some snacks. This was specially made by my wife. How about a taste?" Boss Qiu looked at her with a dazzling smile. Don't underestimate this village girl, she's a gold mine.

Yingbai's jade-like fingers grabbed the instant cake, tasted it, then nodded and said: "As expected, it's not bad. However, Boss Qiu, if there's something you want to say, just say it. I am a straightforward person, and do not like to play dumb puzzles! "

Luo Mannmann did not forget the cowardly look she had when she bumped into the wall. Now, he was glued to her anxiously. Could it be that he was thinking of a formula?

Sure enough, Boss Qiu saw that Boss Qiu's face was a bit anxious, but he didn't show it. He wanted to cooperate with this village girl because he thought highly of her. Thinking of this, Boss Qiu instantly straightened his back:

"Surely the girl must know of the new beauty hall in this town? "Good heavens! Ever since this dark horse had charged in, the share of my old name, the Pearl of Xiang, has dropped quite a bit …"
