Reborn in Dunhuang, I am farming and doing business in the desert

Chapter 83 Complaint Brother

Shen Zhao bowed to Mr. Dong and said, "Please help me, Mr. Dong."

Mr. Dong was silent for a moment, then asked, "Do you really need me to take care of the accounts?"

"Of course." Shen Zhao said seriously, "Business has been a bit busy lately, and my mother and I really can't spare the time, so please help me, sir."

Mr. Dong nodded: "It's just that my legs and feet are not very strong, so I can't run back and forth."

"You don't have to rush around. There are rooms at the inn. Three houses have been built in the backyard. You and Brother Wufeng can live there."

Shen Zhao added: "The inn has everything. The stove, firewood, and rice are all prepared. It's just that it's a little inconvenient to get water. It's in the ditch outside the yard."

Although a ditch has been dug directly to the yard, it is currently freezing and there is no flowing water in the ditch to be brought in.

Mr. Dong waved his hand and said, "These are all trivial matters. I know you are kind enough to help me, but I am old and I am afraid that I will be a burden to your family in the future."

Shen Zhao smiled and said, "What do you mean by burden? I need your help. I hope you can help me."

Mr. Dong sighed: "Well, I will accept your favor. When will our grandparents go to the inn?"

"Let's go early tomorrow morning. I also want to take a look." Shen Zhao said.

Mr. Dong: "Okay, then I'll pack it up tonight and go with you then."

"That's settled then." Shen Zhao bowed to Mr. Dong, and said goodbye to his mother and went home.

On the way, I stopped by to take a look at my cousin's wife and saw that she had gained a lot of weight, her face was rosy and plump, not as gloomy as before.

Zhang Shanyue stretched his head to look at the baby and touched his little face.

The little baby was wrapped in quilt, moved his head a few times, opened his eyes slightly, and smiled at the person who came.

"Oh, the doll can laugh now?" Zhang Shanyue picked him up and handed him to her daughter. "Look, how funny it is."

Shen Zhao leaned over and saw that the little kid had lively eyes and was turning his head to look for people. He couldn't help but smile.

In her previous life, both my cousin’s wife and her unborn child passed away. I didn’t even get to see her for the last time, and she was hastily buried.

Now it seems that some people's lives are not unchangeable. As long as someone is willing to lend a helping hand, those in misfortune can also be reborn.

After returning from his cousin's house, Shen Zhao continued to check the sales of gemstones in the shop.

Unexpectedly, I sold more than 30 pieces today, and there was more than 20,000 yuan more in my account.

It seems that the gems from the Western Region Hu merchants are still quite valuable, and my early investment has finally paid off.

Then she saw the private message from the complaining brother: "Merchant, I want to discuss business with you. Please reply if you see this."

Shen Zhao hesitated and asked, "What business?"

The complaining brother replied immediately: "Finally you replied. I just wanted to ask if you have any horse meat left? If not, beef or mutton will also work."

"We are not allowed to kill cattle here, but we have some mutton. Would you like to buy a few?" Shen Zhao had already raised a 40-meter-long machete, ready to kill this guy.

Complaint brother: "Buy two first, and then decide on the subsequent orders after seeing the quality of your products."

Shen Zhao didn’t understand. They were just free-range sheep. How could he tell what quality they had?
"A sheep costs one thousand coins. Do you want it now?" she asked.

Complaint brother: "Well, put it up, I'll take the photo right away."

Shen Zhao was overjoyed, and quickly ran to his own sheep pen, picked out two medium-sized sheep, and put them on the shelf, marking the price of one thousand each.

As soon as they were put on the shelves, the two sheep were snapped up in seconds, and the account had an extra two thousand dollars.

Not long after, the complaining brother sent a private message: "Holy crap! You actually sent me two live sheep?"

Shen Zhao quickly replied: "Do you want a dead sheep?" "Who wants a dead sheep? What I photographed was a freshly slaughtered whole sheep! A whole sheep! Not a live sheep! You, the merchant, are cutting corners! I'm going to file a complaint against you right now!" the complaining brother said angrily.

At this moment, two live sheep were running around in his house, lowering their heads and chasing after his butt.

He had no choice but to close the door and keep yelling at the merchant: "Return the goods! I want a return!"

Shen Zhao said helplessly: "You can return the goods, but please don't complain, because my product description says it's a live sheep, not slaughtered mutton."

The complaining brother opened it and saw that the product description indeed said that live sheep were for sale.

He could only say with a gloomy face: "Forget it! I have already returned the goods, you can put the mutton back on the shelf, but remember not to get any wool on it!"

Shen Zhao replied: "Then you have to wait for a day. My family needs to ask someone to come over to help."

The complaining brother said impatiently: "Just tell me a definite answer so I can wait on time."

Shen Zhao glanced at the watch on his wrist: "Tomorrow afternoon at five o'clock, I will put it on the shelves on time."

"Okay, okay! I'll come again then!" The complaining brother replied and was about to log off when he suddenly saw a message from the merchant.

Shen Zhao: "The whole lamb has been slaughtered without the skin and internal organs. Are you sure you want that?"

"Of course, I'm inviting people to eat a whole roasted lamb, and I don't have time to take care of the internal organs and the sheepskin." The complaining brother replied quickly.

"Okay then." Shen Zhao confirmed the buyer's return request and then said to his mother, "Mother, someone wants to buy two sheep from us. One thousand coins each, but they don't want the skin or the internal organs."

"One thousand coins? And you don't even want the skin and internal organs?" Zhang Shanyue was surprised: "Are you serious?"

Sheepskin and internal organs are both good things. Who would be so stupid as to spend a thousand dollars to buy a lamb rack?
"Yes, the foreign customer wants to buy this. I told him to ship it tomorrow afternoon." Shen Zhao said.

Zhang Shanyue put down the needle and thread in her hand and said, "Then I will tell Ah Zhu's father and ask him to help our family slaughter the sheep tomorrow."

After that, he went to the tofu workshop to talk to A Zhudie.

Seeing that it was getting late, Shen Zhao washed the rice and cooked porridge, and also steamed a few buns.

After filling the stove with firewood, she went to get several pieces of tofu, cut them into small pieces and put them in the steamer to steam them together.

Recently she learned how to make fermented bean curd from a video on Bronze Mirror World, so she wanted to give it a try.

The first step in making fermented bean curd is to steam small pieces of tofu and then place them on a sieve to ferment.

After white fungi grow, mix it with fine salt, chili powder and pepper powder, store it in a jar and you can eat it after ten days.

This way of eating is similar to fermented soybeans, but the taste is slightly different.

In the evening, Shen Zhao received another letter from his elder brother. He said that he was doing well at the moment, but a small team came from Wulei City and insisted on living with them. In the end, they were driven away by Chen Wuhou.

He also said that he saw Qin Yi. The guy seemed to have an injured leg and a scar on his face. He looked very miserable.

Finally, he said that there was a serious food shortage in the city of Wulei and many war horses were slaughtered and eaten.

However, due to a heavy snowstorm in the area, they could not return to the court for the time being and could only stay in the city to defend it.

Fortunately, the Huns seemed to have retreated, and some soldiers formed teams to go out of the city to hunt.

It was called hunting, but in fact it was just searching for the people's stored food.

But this place was sparsely populated, and due to the war, most of the people fled, and no food could be found.

At the end, Shen Xun wrote: "The soldiers in our camp have collected some property from the Xiongnu. Let me give it to you and see if you can make up for some of the losses."
