Chapter 286 A Gift from a Friend
Madam Qi pulled Xia Wanniang aside and said, "Madam Xiao, can you sell the thing you gave me for my period?"
Xia Wanniang remembered that these things seemed to have been given to her not long ago: "Have you used them up?"
Mrs. Qi was a little embarrassed: "After you gave it to me, I just started to live a normal life, so I tried it and it really works. So I thought about whether I could sell it."
Xia Wanniang thought for a moment and said, "I am not able to spare any time right now. I may not be able to do it for the time being. If you have used up all of it, I can give you some more then."
Mrs. Qi was delighted when she heard this: "Okay, I'll pay for it when the time comes."
Xia Wanniang nodded and said, "I'll be in the city recently, in the shop next to Yixiu Pavilion."
Mrs. Qi thought for a moment and said, "It's the shop that has been closed for a long time."
Xia Wanniang nodded: "Well, when you have sold all the goods here, come find me."
Mrs. Qi was a little surprised: "The shops there are not necessarily available even if you have money, how did you do it?"
Xia Wanniang just smiled faintly: "A friend gave it to me."
Mrs. Qi curled her lips and wondered what kind of friend could give her such a good shop. However, she was only envious for a while.
When Xia Wanniang arrived at the entrance of the puppet theater, she happened to meet Boss Zhang who was getting off a carriage.
She didn't bother to say hello and just walked straight into her shop.
"Mrs. Xiao." Boss Zhang didn't want to let her go like this.
Xia Wanniang stood still and turned to look at Boss Zhang: "What's the matter?"
Boss Zhang took a look at the shop. It took only one night for the shop to completely change.
Seeing him looking around the shop, Xia Wanniang said, "Boss Zhang, if you don't have anything else to do, please leave. I still have a lot of things to do."
Boss Zhang retracted his gaze and said, "Madam Xiao, I think you are the best seller of this shop. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you, a woman, to continue the business."
Xia Wanniang lowered her eyes to hide the dark light in them: "Thank you, Boss Zhang, for your reminder." She said no more.
Boss Zhang was so angry at her attitude that he threw his sleeves and said, "Mrs. Xiao, take care of yourself."
Chai Song and the others came over and said, "Madam, is he here to cause trouble?"
Xia Wanniang noticed some new faces in the crowd. They should be the people Qiu He sent over. "It's okay. Is the shop clean?"
Qiu He nodded: "It has been cleaned. We have also cleaned the dishes and tea bowls in the kitchen."
Xia Wanniang looked at the newcomers with some reservations: "Don't worry, all you have to do is cooperate with the puppet show and add music."
"Thank you, ma'am, for taking us in." An older woman came out and bowed to her.
Xia Wanniang thought her appearance was not outstanding: "What's your name?"
Woman: "Xiujuan."
Xia Wanniang nodded: "Xiujuan, tell me about the musical instruments you can play." Then she took out the window paper from her bag and handed it to Qiu He: "Qiu He, change all the window papers."
Qiuhe and the others went to change the window paper, leaving only Xiujuan and the others who came over yesterday.
Xia Wanniang looked at the remaining fifteen people and said, "You all know how to play musical instruments."
Five women came out and said, "We five don't know how to make it. Master Qiu said that you might need help here, so he asked us to come together. We know how to make tea and cook."
Xia Wanniang had to admit that Qiu He was quite considerate: "If that's the case, then stay. Each of you go make me a cup of tea."
After the five of them bowed, they went to the kitchen to make tea for her.
Only then did Xiujuan talk about the musical instruments they knew how to play.
Xia Wanniang asked them to bring out their musical instruments and play them. When they played together, it didn't sound very pleasant and was a bit messy.
It's fine when played separately, but it's a mess when played together.
She is not really good at music, so she might as well ask Qingfeng to come over.
Several people carrying large and small bags came in from the door.
Xia Wanniang turned around and saw Diao Yongfu, Yang Ping and his wife and four others coming. She was surprised and said, "Brother Diao, Brother Yang, I thought you would not be back for a while."
Diao Yongfu and his wife smiled and said, "We thought you might need help to run your shop, so we came here early. Did we cause you any trouble?"
