Chapter 114 Fulfilling the Promise
The house in the atlas will take two days to build.
In the past two days, Liu Xiangqin still did not plan to let Cai Zhuangzhuang live in the old house.
The moment she met the village chief, she stated her request.
The village chief nodded in understanding, stroked his recently grown beard, and looked towards the village with a serious expression.
"I remembered that there's a family near your house. They moved in recently, and this house is an old one in the village, which they rented out. It has three rooms and spacious front and back yards. They can earn fifty cents a month!"
"The man and his son came to our village. I didn't ask why they moved here. As long as I knew they had no problems, I agreed."
"I remember the man said that they couldn't afford so many rooms, and if they could rent the other rooms to others, he wanted to pay less rent."
The village chief chattered on and on, picked up the teacup, took a big sip, drank the tea dregs, and casually sipped it aside.
While drinking the tea in the cup, he looked at Liu Xiangqin with a little more gratitude in his eyes.
The tea from Baisha Town is very precious. As an old man who loves drinking tea, he can only afford to buy a little at a time, and each time, he only brews one or two pieces.
Nowadays, tea is sold in grocery stores at different price points.
The cheapest tea cost ten cents per pound, and it tasted much better than the tea he had bought in town before for ten cents per ounce!
At least, there isn't so much scum.
Just looking at it, you can tell it’s all real stuff!
Liu Xiangqin looked at Cai Zhuangzhuang, "Do you mind living with someone else?"
Cai Zhuangzhuang shook his head. "I don't mind. I'm just a rough guy, and having a place to live is enough for me."
"You don't have to stay for long, just two days will be enough. I will arrange for people to build the house, and it will be completed in just two days." Liu Xiangqin said, and asked the village chief to take them to see where the house was.
"Ouch! Is that the house from the atlas? Will it be expensive?"
The village chief reacted immediately after hearing about it for two days.
The grocery store's house catalog has spread and everyone has seen it.
The houses inside are clean and tidy. Just one look at them makes you want to move in immediately.
In addition, the issue that people discuss the most is the price of houses.
"Yes. This is the new coachman I hired today. Starting tomorrow, he will personally pick up and drop off Aliang. I promised Aliang that if he passed the Tongsheng exam, I would let him stay at home. For his safety, I bought a carriage and hired a coachman."
When the village chief heard this, he nodded in agreement.
"Aliang is a good talent. He will definitely achieve great things in the future! But I feel that a horse-drawn carriage is a bit of a luxury. Having an ox-drawn cart would be great."
Seeing that Liu Xiangqin just smiled and didn't answer him, he chuckled and changed the subject.
After a few steps, they arrived at the house they were going to rent for two days.
A one-meter-high fence surrounds the entire house, allowing you to see what's inside at a glance.
A man stood in the yard, chopping wood.
Next to him sat a little boy whose eyes were full of admiration for the man.
"Fang Daqiang! Someone wants to rent your room for two days. Can you do it?" the village chief said loudly.
He walked into the house rudely and asked Liu Xiangqin and Cai Zhuangzhuang to come in.
Fang Daqiang turned his head, and the moment he saw Cai Zhuangzhuang, there was a hint of surprise and excitement in his eyes.
In a moment, in the blink of an eye, it's gone.
When Cai Zhuangzhuang saw Fang Daqiang, especially the centipede-like scar on his face, his calm heart was stirred up.
"You can stay for two days." Fang Daqiang said.
Liu Xiangqin nodded, not noticing the undercurrent between the two.
"What do you think?" Liu Xiangqin asked Cai Zhuangzhuang.
Cai Zhuangzhuang nodded, "I'm fine."
"Okay, then I'll pay for two days' rent."
As she spoke, Liu Xiangqin took out two strings of copper coins from her purse and placed them on the woodpile.
"Use the extra money to treat the children to something good."
Liu Xiangqin had seen this child in the village. Perhaps due to later reasons, he wanted to integrate into the small group in the village, but couldn't.
But you can see that he is an obedient and sensible child.
Fang Daqiang picked up the copper coin on the wooden stake and returned it to Liu Xiangqin.
"It's only two days, you don't have to pay. If it weren't for the grocery store opened by Manager Liu, I really would have found life difficult and had no money. But it's different now. I can do some handicrafts. As long as I can make money, I don't have to worry about not having money."
He was not afraid of suffering himself. After all, he had eaten dirt during the most difficult times.
He just didn't want to make the child suffer.
"It's okay, just keep it."
Liu Xiangqin turned to look at Cai Zhuangzhuang, took out a tael of silver from her purse and handed it to Cai Zhuangzhuang.
"Take this tael of silver and buy a bed."
After giving a brief explanation, Liu Xiangqin left the place.
The village chief standing by was envious when he saw this.
He also wanted to be able to take out a tael of silver anytime and anywhere.
Just thinking about it makes me feel good.
Liu Xiangqin returned to the old house and went straight to the Beast World Grocery Store.
Zhuang Shou sent a message to tell her that the amount of a certain herb was close to 300 kilograms, and she came to fulfill her promise.
The orcs liked the seasonings sold in the grocery store very much, and they wanted to try making their own.
There are also orcs who want to try making clothes themselves.
Liu Xiangqin thought about it and chose videos about soy sauce and homespun cloth, letting them learn slowly.
Each video is one hour long, and every step in the content is very detailed.
She thought about it and decided to let the people in the main time and space, that is, the people in Fangzi Village, take a look.
If they can learn it, they will have one more skill to make money.
Coincidentally, one of the tasks released by the system mentioned making videos for people to learn traditional handicrafts.
In the third video, Liu Xiangqin decided to try something expensive - silk!
Just wait until 300 kilograms of certain herbs from the Beast World are collected, and Liu Xiangqin will immediately buy them so that people in the main time and space and the Beast World can learn from them.
The sky gradually darkened.
When Liu Xiangqin looked up at the sky, she could no longer see the sun.
Thinking about the important client coming today, she said to the system:
"666, please arrange for Miss Xue to come to the grocery store today. I have some things I want to sell to her."
[Okay, Host Xiangqin. I'll arrange for Miss Xue Jingyi tonight. If she doesn't come on her own initiative, there's nothing we can do.]
The system is only responsible for opening a door. As for whether the big customers want to open the door, that is their choice.
Liu Xiangqin nodded. If Xue Jingyi didn't come within half an hour, she would go to bed early.
I'll introduce that item to her when she arrives.
After about ten minutes, Liu Xiangqin saw that no one had arrived yet, and suddenly wanted to eat some dessert, so she ordered a cake takeout.
If she doesn't eat cake for a long time, she will miss the delicious taste of cake.
She didn't have high requirements for the cake and just simply picked a fruit cake.
It showed that it would arrive in forty minutes, so she would wait a little longer.
