Chapter 231: Money to win people over
Chenshi.
It's broad daylight.
Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin got up, washed and dressed as usual, starting a busy day.
After breakfast, the two of them went to the workshop with the Jiang family's master and servants as usual. Today, they had to extract the rose essential oil and also refill some basic toothpaste.
The two were busy in the kitchen. Of course, Jiang Chengye and Jiang Shui were not idle either, so they were asked to help.
Zheng Yuan also joked that Jiang Chengye didn’t think it was a good experience to be assigned to do work.
"Aunt, you underestimate me. I have been following my father since I was a child..."
Before he could finish the long speech he was about to make, he was interrupted by the Chen family who suddenly came in.
Without waiting for the two to say anything, everyone had already picked up their tools and started filling the cans, as if it was the most normal thing.
Looking at this lovely family, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin felt really warm in their hearts.
"Dad, you come to help us every day, but how can you handle your own chores?" Zheng Yuan was a little worried.
"The rice is in ear and blossom now, what can happen? Besides, we haven't been here all day. When you were free a few days ago, we were in the fields all day, and we have done everything we should do."
"We also work on your fields every day. There's nothing much to do. Last time you spread manure, the ducks are growing well. And the two little girls, Sanni and Xing'er, drive the ducks around every day. There are few insects and less grass in the fields of our three families. The villagers are now asking where to buy ducklings..."
The old man kept talking about the situation in their fields, and the two of them realized that they hadn't been to the fields for several days. Thanks to the old man Chen and his family, they not only came to the workshop to help, but also helped the two of them take care of the fields.
Although Mr. Chen only said a few words lightly, they both knew that the old man was definitely not just there to hang out, and he must have helped them solve a lot of problems. The last time they went to the fields, they saw the old man helping them weed.
"Dad, it's all thanks to you guys, otherwise we wouldn't know what a mess it would be inside and outside our house!"
"Thank you, Uncle Chen! I don't know how to thank you." Duan Minmin also thanked him sweetly.
"What are you thanking me for? We are all family! And I haven't said anything to you yet when your aunt took back all that money yesterday!" Thinking of the bag of money yesterday, Mr. Chen's tone became serious.
"We are here to help, not to make money from you! Yesterday your aunt said that the registration has been completed and there is no way to change it. I am not confused. It is you and Mr. Jiang who tricked your aunt into accepting it. I don't know what to say to you!"
"Let me make it clear that we are here to help today and we really are here to help. If you give us more money, we won't come." Old Master Chen said as he glared at the two of them with a stern face.
"That's right, sister-in-law, Tao'er's mother, you have taken good care of our family. Isn't it our responsibility to come and help? We can't be so distant from each other in the future!" Chen Jiadong also expressed his attitude.
"Okay, okay, okay! Uncle, Brother Chen, today we are shamelessly asking you to come and work for us for free, and we can talk about the rest later, okay?"
Only then did Mr. Chen nod in satisfaction, then sat down again and started working on the things in his hands.
Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin exchanged glances and decided to appease the old man first. Looking at the angry look on Old Man Chen's face, if the two insisted on paying him today, he would probably slam the door and leave on the spot.
Whatever, one day at a time, being too calculating would only hurt feelings. Besides, they had said it, but only today, and the future would have to be discussed later.
After this little episode, a group of people started working in the kitchen again.
The sweet fragrance of distilled rose petals lingers in the small kitchen, coupled with the crisp mint scent refined before, the two scents are intertwined in the space, the unique flavor is irresistible.
Now the two of them were not too worried that the workers would reveal what was happening in the workshop, so they kept the kitchen door open when preparing the toothpaste.
The fragrance spread throughout the yard, attracting the attention of workers, but they were very aware of their boundaries and did not come forward.
Intoxicated by this unique fragrance, everyone was full of energy and the yard became quiet for a while, so much so that everyone was startled when the gate was suddenly pushed open.
"What's with that expression on your face? Haha, you look so scared as if we are some kind of monster. But what's that smell?" A fat middle-aged man came in first, laughed when he saw everyone was scared, then he tilted his head back and kept inhaling the smell in the air.
"It smells like roses, but with a hint of freshness mixed in." One of the people who followed in continued.
Hearing the noise, Zheng Yuan, Duan Minmin and Jiang Chengye put down their work and went out.
"Master! Madam Zheng! Madam Duan!"
"Master! Madam Zheng! Madam Duan!"
......
Seeing the three people appear, they put away their smiles and saluted respectfully.
Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin still had some impression of these people. They were some of the managers who had come to pick up the goods before. They must have set out when the goods were almost sold out, so they arrived a few days later than the nearby counties.
However, this attitude is exactly the same as those of the previous managers, a 180-degree turn. I guess business is good.
It is pure nonsense to say that the two have some personal charm that makes them suddenly respect them. The reason why the attitudes of these managers with a long history in the business world can change is naturally because they see business opportunities in them.
What is a business opportunity? That's a lot of money!
This is probably the simple way of winning people over with money!
"Manager Fang, Manager Yang, Manager Li, Manager Zhang, why are you here together?" Jiang Chengye remembered that the counties where these four managers were located were not in exactly the same direction and the distances were also different.
"The wheel of our carriage broke at Bainipo, and the repair was delayed for some time, and we happened to meet Manager Fang. Later, when we found Brother Aji in Yongding County, we happened to meet Manager Yang and Manager Zhang who were waiting for us, so we came here together." The fat Manager Li explained first.
"Manager Yang and I arrived in Yongding at the same time. Brother Aji said that he estimated Manager Fang and his team would be here soon, so we rested for a night and came here after meeting up with them this morning." Manager Zhang added.
Jiang Chengye nodded: "I see, you have worked hard along the way. In fact, our trade route has been opened, so we can just send a clerk. It is really tiring to come here in person!"
"Hey~ It's not hard, it's not hard. I've been doing business for half my life and still can't catch up with the brains of the two ladies. I have to come and learn from them!"
"When we were in the city, we all heard from Brother Aji that if the two ladies were with us, our county would definitely be sold out in one day, no, half a day!"
"Besides, Sir, you took the trouble to come here in person, isn't this what we should do?"
These words implicitly praised the two of them and complimented Jiang Chengye.
No matter what expressions the three of them had, they were all smiling sincerely, as if it was not them who had looked down on Zheng Yuan before, Duan Minmin.
Although the two of them really wanted to say: "I still like your unruly look!"
But I still kept my mouth shut. Wouldn't it be awkward for everyone if I said that?
So the two of them, with what they thought was a very friendly fake smile, warmly welcomed the four people into the main room and served them natural spring water.
