Chapter 228: People are the ones who have a keen eye for talent
Seeing that there were fewer people in the store, Jiang Xiaohe quickly took two bites of rice. Just as she put down the bowl, Meng Hetang came over.
"Brother Meng is really good at rushing."
Meng Hetang smiled slightly: "This is not a hurry."
Jiang Xiaohe didn't say anything else. Meng Hetang asked her to get on the carriage, but when she saw Manager Chang standing under the carriage, she knew that Chang Wei must be in the carriage, so she smiled and said, "Brother Meng, you guys go ahead, I'll drive my ox cart."
As he spoke, Sun Gui had already driven the ox cart to the front.
Meng Hetang looked at her, then looked at the carriage, smiled and shook his head, then got into the carriage himself.
"See, I told you not to join in the fun, but you didn't listen."
Chang Wei didn't say anything. He felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't show it.
The carriage moved very slowly along the way because it had to wait for Jiang Xiaohe's ox cart. Looking at the speed of the carriage, Jiang Xiaohe thought that if he was going to the county town to develop next year, he would have to get a carriage no matter what.
There were two ox carts following Jiang Xiaohe, both carrying wine.
This carriage could not reach Jiang Xiaohe's home, so Meng Hetang and Chang Wei got off the carriage from a distance. Everyone in the village looked at them and saw that these two people were acquaintances who had been to the village before. They wondered what kind of business Jiang Xiaohe's family was doing.
Many people crowded out to watch the fun, and Jiang Xiaohe was speechless.
Today is also the day when Li Taohua returns home. That year, the boss was taking Li Taohua back home. When they saw Meng Hetang from afar, they hurriedly wanted to come up and say hello. Li Taohua wanted to stop him, but there was no way, as people had already squeezed to the front.
"Boss Meng, Boss Meng!" Nian Guozhu shouted twice.
Meng Hetang turned around and frowned slightly.
Chang Wei asked, "Do you know him?"
Meng Hetang shook his head and said he didn’t know him.
I saw Nian Guozhu had already squeezed in front of Meng Hetang: "Boss Meng."
Meng Hetang put away his fan: "Who are you, brother? Have we known each other before?"
Nian Guozhu waved his hands quickly: "Boss Meng may not know me, but I know Boss Meng."
See, he said he didn't know this person.
"Boss Meng, my last name is Nian Guozhu. I run a wine shop in Longshui Town, and I have a cooperation with Boss Meng's restaurant in Longshui Town."
Meng Hetang quickly bowed: "Oh, it turns out to be Boss Nian, nice to meet you."
Nian Guozhu immediately asked modestly, "Boss Meng, are you here in the village today to do business? Or to visit relatives?"
Meng Hetang looked at him. There was no need to tell him what he was doing there.
So he asked him, "Boss Nian, are you here to collect grain? Or?" He knew that wine is basically made from grain, so he asked this question.
Nian Guozhu immediately replied, "I am here to visit my relatives. I got married a few days ago, and today I am accompanying my wife to her parents' home."
Just as he finished speaking, Li Taohua came out. When she saw Meng Hetang in the crowd, she first thought that this man was really handsome and extraordinary. Then she turned around and saw Chang Wei, who had shaved his beard. She thought that this man was very powerful, not only powerful but also handsome. She was stunned for a moment, and then she saw the fat and short Nian Guozhu in the crowd. This was really an eye-catching sight, but she still endured the nausea and walked forward, and called out in a pretentious manner: "Husband."
She twisted her hips and walked to Nian Guozhu.
The sound and tone were so nauseating that the onlookers felt sick.
Nian Guozhu quickly introduced: "This is my wife."
Meng Hetang looked at this old and young group, and then at the look in Li Taohua's eyes, and felt a little disgusted, but he smiled and said, "Boss Nian is so lucky, but I have something else to do, so I won't talk to you any more."
Nian Guozhu immediately said, "I wonder when Mr. Meng will be free to come to Longshui Town next time. I'd like to do my part as a good host."
Meng Hetang chuckled twice: "Let's talk about it later."
After saying that, he turned around and took Chang Wei to Jiang Xiaohe's home.
Jiang Xiaohe joked, "Brother Meng's business is really big. He even ran into an acquaintance in our village."
Meng Hetang immediately retorted: "Who is acquaintance with him? We didn't even know each other before, so how can we be considered acquaintances?"
When he said this, his voice was neither too loud nor too soft, so Nian Guozhu heard it all. His old face immediately turned red, and he turned around with a sad look and was about to leave.
Li Taohua couldn't help but look at the two figures' backs. She saw them talking and laughing towards Jiang Xiaohe as they walked into the house. She felt angry and upset!
These two people are so good-looking, but when you look back at Nian Guozhu, he looks like a fat pig. Is this the reason why Jiang Xiaohe looks down on Nian Guozhu?
Suddenly I thought, could it be that I really picked up a man that Jiang Xiaohe didn't want?
Nian Guozhu had been walking for a long time and saw that Li Taohua had not followed him, so he turned around and looked at her. Li Taohua suddenly shrank back and hurriedly followed him.
As soon as he arrived at Jiang Xiaohe's house, Meng Hetang ordered the servants behind him to bring the wine jars into the house. Jiang Xiaohe counted all the wine jars one by one. This year, the grape vines in the backyard are better than those on the mountain, and the wine brewed has more than doubled.
There were sixty jars of wine in total, and Meng Hetang's eyes were smiling so much. Although the cost was high, with so much wine, he was afraid that he would make more money than last year.
Meng Hetang took out the banknotes: "Sister, this year, there is a lot of wine."
Jiang Xiaohe took the banknotes and counted them, looking at him with a faint smile: "Next year, there may be more than this."
"When the time comes, I'll have to think of you first when I get the wine."
Jiang Xiaohe nodded: "Of course."
Meng Hetang opened his folding fan and walked out happily, but Jiang Xiaohe stopped Chang Wei.
Chang Wei was very surprised. This woman, who had treated him as if he were a transparent person for a long time, called him now.
Jiang Xiaohe took out the box he had given her and handed it to him: "You should take it back."
"These are things that have been given away. How can I take them back?" Chang Wei looked unhappy immediately when he saw that they were going to return his things.
Jiang Xiaohe forced it on him: "Chang Wei, there is really no possibility between you and me. I am really not interested in those things of love and affection. I will not accept these things from you."
After saying that, Jiang Xiaohe walked in front of him.
Chang Wei looked sad and put the box away. Is it impossible?
After seeing the people off, the villagers still gathered at the door.
"Jiang Xiaohe, how do you make this wine? We are all from the same village, why don't you teach us?" Wu Youhua said, looking very jealous.
Jiang Xiaohe looked at her and said, "Wu Youhua, you can let me teach everyone. Your uncle Xie Sheng kidnapped my mother and got dozens of taels of silver from me. Since you haven't split up the family, you can return the silver. If you return it, I will teach everyone, how about that?"
Wu Youhua was immediately embarrassed: "Well...that wasn't taken by our family, why should we return it?" After saying that, she turned around and walked away with the basket, as if she was running away.
Jiang Xiaohe looked at the remaining people and said, "Everyone, please go away. My family is not inviting us to dinner. What are you doing here?"
After saying that, he turned back into the house and closed the door.
When everyone saw that there was nothing exciting to watch, they turned around and left. However, they all envied the Zhang family. How could they marry such a money-making woman?
At first they cursed the Zhang family behind their backs for spending so much money to marry a woman, calling them fools. But now think about it...they are not fools at all, they are the ones who have a keen eye for talent.
