Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 142

Chapter 142: Big Order
Looking at Duan Yixin’s confused look, Chi Xiyou added, “With the employment opportunities you provided, the villagers had a way to make money and survive in the initial stage after the bandit attack. Isn’t it normal for the villagers to greet you when they meet you?”

Duan Yixin listened to Chi Xiyou’s explanation and muttered in surprise, “I never thought that my desire to move into a new house as soon as possible would affect the lives of the villagers.”

Looking at her thoughtful expression, Chi Xiyou just smiled and said nothing. After walking for more than thirty minutes, they arrived in front of the Sun family’s house.

Before the two of them had time to see if the door of the Sun family’s house was open, Sun Chen, who had just come out of the house, saw them. He smiled at Duan Yixin and Chi Xiyou and said, “Xin Niang, Chi Dalang, you are here.”

Chi Xiyou smiled at Sun Chen and greeted him, “Sun Dalang, I’m sorry that we came to visit this early.”

Sun Chen opened the low gate for them, invited them in, and said, “It’s great that you are here today. Otherwise, I would have to visit Xin Niang later.”

After hearing what he said, Duan Yixin asked, “Do you have anything to discuss with me?”

The three of them walked into the living room, and Sun Chen said, “Yes. We need to discuss the workers’ wages and the meal expenses.”

After he said that, he motioned for Chi Xiyou and Duan Yixin to take their seats. After the three of them sat down, Sun Chen asked, “What brings you two here today?”

Chi Xiyou and Duan Yixin looked at each other for a second, and then Chi Xiyou said, “Sun Dalang, I want to order three thousand wooden buckets and three hundred shelves from your family.”

As soon as Chi Xiyou’s words came out, Sun Chen’s hand shook, and the water cup he was holding fell to the table.

Thud!

Before the water dripped to the ground, Sun Chen reacted quickly and wiped the water with his sleeve. Then he looked at Chi Xiyou and asked in disbelief, “Chi Dalang, can you repeat what you just said?”

Looking at Sun Chen’s shocked expression, Chi Xiyou could understand Sun Chen’s surprise when he heard the number of wooden buckets and shelves.

Seeing that Sun Chen had calmed down, Chi Xiyou said, “I want to order three thousand wooden buckets and three hundred shelves from your family. I will provide the design of the shelves, and I can pay half of the price as a down payment.”

Sun Chen looked at Chi Xiyou and asked doubtfully, “Chi Dalang, do you know the price of three thousand wooden buckets and three hundred shelves?”

Chi Xiyou nodded and said, “I knew it wouldn’t be cheap, but you don’t have to worry that I can’t pay.”

After hearing what he said, Sun Chen hurriedly said, “That’s not what I meant. It’s just… Do you have a place to store those wooden buckets and shelves? Three thousand is not a small amount, and the smallest size of the wooden buckets is quite large.”

Before Chi Xiyou could answer Sun Chen’s question, Duan Yixin said, “I will lend those fifty greenhouses to Elder Brother Xiyou. Therefore, Young Master Sun doesn’t have to worry.”

When Sun Chen heard what she said, he remembered that Duan Yixin did have fifty idle wooden buildings. Since he didn’t see Duan Yixin doing anything after the wooden buildings were completed, he guessed that she might plan to rent them out. Turns out, his guess was right.

After knowing that Duan Yixin would rent those wooden buildings to Chi Xiyou, Sun Chen nodded and said, “Since Chi Dalang has prepared a place to store the wooden buckets, then there is no need for me to worry.”

“Should we discuss the price for the wooden buckets and the shelves now?” Chi Xiyou asked with a smile.

When he asked this question, Sun Chen said, “Because the order is too big, I can’t make the decision alone. How about I let you know after discussing this matter with my father?”

Chi Xiyou thought for a moment, then glanced at Duan Yixin. Seeing her nodding, Chi Xiyou looked at Sun Chen and said, “All right. Let’s do as you say.”

After discussing Chi Xiyou’s business, it was Duan Yixin’s turn to discuss her business. She looked at Sun Chen and asked, “Young Master Sun, you said you wanted to talk about workers’ wages and food expenses. Can you explain it to me?”

Sun Chen nodded and said, “Yes. I heard my father say that after the fifty wooden buildings are completed, he will return the remaining money to you.”

Duan Yixin said, “That is right.”

Sun Chen smiled and said, “After the first beam was placed yesterday, we planned to start construction today. In addition to the workers hired to build the wooden buildings before, we hired fifteen more workers this time. Since you want to have everything ready before autumn, we will have to spend more money on hiring people.”

Duan Yixin had enough money to hire people, so she said, “I understand. I don’t mind spending more money to hire people as long as the house meets my standards and can be completed by autumn.”

Hearing this, Sun Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although Duan Yixin told his father that everything could be arranged as he pleased, Sun Chen still felt the need to inform Duan Yixin and seek her opinion before doing anything.

No matter what, she is the one who pays for everything. Therefore, Duan Yixin has all the right to make decisions.

Duan Yixin looked at Sun Chen’s relieved look and could guess what he was thinking. She thought for a moment, then put her right hand into her sleeve and took out two strings of copper coins from the warehouse. When she put the copper coins on the table, Chi Xiyou looked at her in surprise.
