Chapter 325 (1/2)
The song steward also laughed and said, ”I'll come back at this time tomorrow. If my mother is willing to do this business with me, I'll pick a PAZI outside the porridge shed. If I can't see the PAZI tomorrow, I won't bother my mother again.”
Song's mother thought, no matter what, it's good for her to think calmly for one night.
Soon after the young man left, she went to the porridge shed next door, where a young daughter-in-law was in charge.
She chatted with others for a while, then asked, ”do you know the young man who came here at noon today?”
”Which young man?” Suddenly asked by mother song, the young daughter-in-law did not respond for a while.
”It's a young man who claims to be surnamed song,” his mother reminded him. ”Where did he come from? Look at my memory. When I get old, I forget what I just said. ”
When the daughter-in-law heard this, she said, ”are you talking about song Guanshi? He is in charge of yumipu in Rongcheng county. He is really young and promising. ”
Listening to what the daughter-in-law said is similar to what the song steward said, Mother Song felt relieved.
But later she asked two or three other companies. As the manager of Song Dynasty said, most of the people in the congee shed knew him, and he was also an old hand in this field.
So the next morning, she asked people to pick out a piece of cloth outside the porridge shed. Although her people thought it strange, they still did it according to the words.
At the end of the first round of porridge making, when the women gathered behind to wash the porridge pot, the steward named song came again.
But this time, instead of beating around the bush with his mother, he took out a black and white letter and said to her, ”if my mother thinks it's OK, she will sign this with me first, and when I come back to exchange grain, I'll give you the silver.”
Mother song relied on her ability to recognize a few words, so she wrote the document
I've seen it over and over, and I think it's best to pay and deliver at the same time.
If his money doesn't come, he won't put food on his side, and he's not afraid of being cheated.
And this is just a sign.
So, without hesitation, mother song and the song steward signed the pictorial respectively and exchanged documents.
The song steward said that he would send someone to come in three days, and then he left cleanly.
As soon as she thought that she would have several hundred taels of silver in three days, Mother Song's heart was faintly excited.
In this way, two days passed peacefully. On the third day, mother song was directing the women to cook porridge in the porridge shed, but she heard that there was a sudden commotion outside the porridge shed.
Although mother song was curious, she sent someone to inquire about the news. When the man came back, she reported, ”it's shuntianfu Yin who is inspecting the porridge shed.”
It's just a porridge shed. What's good for inspection?
Song's mother was surprised.
Just as she was about to turn back to the porridge shed, she heard the servants of the porridge shed nearby whispering together.
”I heard that there are two people in Dongtou who have cooked porridge with moldy rice.”
