Chapter 21 - Door-to-door
Zhong Ziqi’s small business only made a small ripple and returned to calm, but maybe God can’t stand his leisurely time, the trouble suddenly came again, and it was fierce.
This is first of all Zhong Ziqi’s purchase of vegetables. The people in the village don’t know where the news came from. It turns out that he was behind Zhao Ama’s purchase of vegetables. The result is conceivable, as Zhao Ama said, the original ridicule and ridicule disappeared, replaced by smiling, pleasing and kind faces.
Zhong Ziqi really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh three times. What he wanted was this situation. He was not a good old man. His eyes were actually very small. Anyone who said something awkward and gave a look of contempt can remember clearly. He had said that if you have the ability, don’t ask him! !
So don’t bully people too much!
Don’t bully young people into being poor, young people have their times!
The young man still bears a grudge!
But Zhong Ziqi just gloated and turned into a bitter face after a short time. These people are really annoying and disturb his normal life. He deeply feels that dog skin plasters are not so sticky.
For example, this afternoon, when Zhong Ziqi and his party came back from the town, they saw several people standing at the head of the village.
“It’s so annoying!” Zhao Ning muttered with an unhappy face. Not only their home, but even he himself dared not go out these days, someone who was caught inadvertently asking questions, it was simply…
“Brother Qi is back!” An old Ah Ma grinned, showing a big yellow tooth, and shouted loudly.
“Oh, Brother Qi is amazing. As expected, if you have a father, you have a son. He is as capable as your father.” A slightly fat Ah Ma came over with a pleated face.
Seriously, Zhong Ziqi’s ears almost heard the cocoon, this group of people can be described as doing everything, sweet talk, sugar-coated cannonballs, and big moves are flying all over the sky.
It’s no wonder that these people are anxious. Zhao Ama followed Zhong Ziqi’s instructions to buy vegetables from people with good character and honesty. Zhao Ama himself hated the villagers who chewed their tongues. White can be called black, and good can be called bad. So the people he bought were all people he thought was good.
Those honest people are naturally happy that some people come to collect vegetables, they can earn dozens of yuan, which is not a good income. There are shrewd people who can’t understand the long-tongued women in the village, so they go out to show off.
One is okay, but suddenly several people say they are sitting at home and selling vegetables to make money, and they have noses and eyes. Many people can’t sit still, why have they never heard of it? Why not take them? All of them searched for news and found Zhao Ama’s house. Zhao Ama used Tai Chi and drove the group away.
Suddenly someone in Houlao Village said that they had met Zhong Ziqi in the town. The business was so good that they used a lot of vegetables, which seemed to have been purchased in the village. The news was released and the pot was fried immediately. Those people seemed to have forgotten that they had spared no effort to slander. This poor man came to the door with a good appearance one after another.
However, Zhong Ziqi received Zhao Ama’s instructions, and he was in charge of these matters, which made him greatly relieved.
Zhao Zhengan looked angrily at the group of people in front of him. These days someone was always knocking on their door. Sooner or later, although he didn’t know what was going on, he keenly felt that every time this group of people came. , The daughter-in-law is not happy, her face is bored.
Then as a husband, he (shy) must protect his wife from being bullied. Of course, he hasn’t realized this yet. This is what his friends said. He can remember everything about his daughter-in-law and learn it to use.
At this moment, the way home was blocked, they were unconsciously dangling in front of the daughter-in-law, and they were suddenly upset, and yelled, “You all go away.” But these words were like a stone sinking into the sea. Can’t bring a ripple. No one cares about a fool, he has already completely ignored it.
“Brother Qi, you’ve grown up so much in a blink of an eye. When you are here, we two are the best.”
It’s another one, but this one is pretty smart and knows how to play family cards, but Zhong Ziqi, who is in a tough situation, doesn’t work well with any cards, let alone he is not stupid, how can he be friends with this kind of person? ? It’s not that he is arrogant and despise people, but the man in front of him has a monkey face, and his eyes turn around and look unconscious, just like Wang Cuihua.
“Daughter-in-law!” Finally gathered up the courage to shout, but no one responded, as if it did not exist. Zhao Zhengan was withered, his bright black eyes were stained with water vapor, and his thick eyebrows were squeezed together like two hairs. insect.
Zhong Ziqi knew that this was wronged, he took his hand and shook it, saying that I couldn’t bear to let him be wronged. When you came, it made people unhappy. Is it transparent to be someone else?
Zhong Ziqi looked at the hypocritical people in front of him with a smile and said: “It’s too early, everyone, I have to go back, and if I have a problem with food, I will reiterate that everyone can discuss with Zhao Ama. I have given him full authority to take care of it. Okay, let’s give it up.”
Looking at Zhong Ziqi, who looked at strangers away, the others were inexplicably shocked, and unconsciously gave way.
Zhong Ziqi and several people went back to their homes, but he was obviously happy too early. Before Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan had had time to drink when they returned home, the door was knocked again.
Zhao Zhengan’s happy face immediately pulled the old man, Zhong Ziqi frowned: “Who is it?”
The man outside the door didn’t speak, as if he hadn’t heard.
“Who is it?” Zhong Ziqi raised her voice and walked over.
Still no one spoke, and the knock on the door never stopped.
Zhong Ziqi reluctantly opened the door. Zhong Ziqi regretted it when she saw someone coming. Why did she owe her paws so much? What door should you open?
It was no one else standing outside the door, it was Wang Cuihua, whom his nominal mother-in-law had quarreled a few days ago.
Zhong Ziqi said with a cold face: “What are you doing?” There was no one on the left, and no one could see it even if the skin was torn.
Wang Cuihua’s fat face squeezed out a kind-looking smile, which made his face look more and more ferocious: “Brother Qi, let me see how you are doing well!”
“If you don’t come to disturb us, we will definitely have a good time!” Zhong Ziqi sneered expressionlessly, clasping the door with both hands to block Wang Cuihua’s body that wanted to squeeze in.
“Hehe, look at what you said, I can still harm you.”
Wang Cuihua didn’t expect that Zhong Ziqi was so disrespectful, her face changed colorfully, her heart was bitter, but she couldn’t show it. He stood on tiptoe and craned his neck to look inside, and saw Zhao Zhengan in the house with sharp eyes. Shrieked and shouted: “Zhengan? Zhengan? I am Eminem!”
Zhao Zhengan walked over looking for a voice, and he saw Eminem who he hadn’t seen for a long time standing outside the door. When Wang Cuihua saw Zhao Zhengan coming over, she was proud that this fool had to listen to her own Eminem! Reached out and pushed Zhong Ziqi’s arm away and squeezed in, and took Zhao Zhengan’s arm and said affectionately: “Zhengan, I am Eminem. Eminem hasn’t come to see you for so long. Don’t you blame Eminem? Do you really miss it? Huh?”
If it were before, Zhao Zhengan would definitely be happily wagging his tail around Eminem’s side like a puppy at this time, but he was not at all happy at this time. On the contrary, when Wang Cuihua appeared, he felt a little unhappy. .
He doesn’t know why this is! At this moment, only Zhong Ziqi is left in his eyes, especially after living with Zhong Ziqi for so long. Even if Zhao Zhengan is stupid, he can feel the difference. His current life is so much better than that at home. Underground, good makes him fear that one day he will return to his original life.
Seeing his own eminem again, Zhao Zhengan’s heart was very calm, no longer the intimacy of the past, he broke away from Eminem, grabbed his painful hand and hid behind Zhong Ziqi, holding his clothes, the one he is most afraid of now is his wife. Will he be sent back to Eminem? He will not leave his wife!
Zhong Ziqi squinted his eyes and was very satisfied with Zhao Zhengan’s actions and performance. He admitted that he did not spare any effort to stop Wang Cuihua and wanted to see Zhao Zhengan’s reaction. The result was very satisfying to him. He didn’t waste his efforts for such a long time. Heavy, stand on his side.
Chapter 22 - puppy
Wang Cuihua’s face was green in embarrassment. She didn’t expect that the fool who used to be bullied by him now dared to disobey him and kept talking. Thinking of what happened today, Wang Cuihua knew that he couldn’t count on Zhao Zhengan, a fool, so he stared at him bitterly, and said to Zhong Ziqi with a full smile like a face change: “Brother Qi, you see we are all a family. You can’t let others take advantage, can you?”
“Oh, what do you say?” Zhong Ziqi looked at him interestingly, how could he not know that little thought.
“Don’t you need vegetables now? We have so many vegetable gardens. We want to pick as many as we want.” Wang Cuihua rushed to the subject uncontrollably.
“That’s it.” Zhong Ziqi was thinking: “Then-it’s okay if you don’t give money?”
Wang Cuihua smiled stiffly, and said unnaturally: “You see our family is not easy, your brother is twelve this year, and he will be married in two years. This-family is not rich either.”
“Stop—don’t take a bite to our family. I listened to me. We are already separated, do you understand? At that time, it was a good idea not to interfere with each other’s finances. If you are so forgetful, do you want me to find out the papers? Read it to you again?” Zhong Ziqi said with a smile.
“You…” Wang Cuihua didn’t pretend, and returned to her original color: “Oh, you are Zhong Ziqi, the wings are stiff, right? Today, if you don’t bring me some money, I won’t leave.”
Zhong Ziqi smiled when he heard the words, then turned her head and quickly changed her face, tearful, and fell aggrievedly on Zhao Zhengan’s body: “Zheng’an, Eminem bullied me, will you help me drive him out?”
Zhao Zhengan immediately rushed to appease the aggrieved daughter-in-law. Now the daughter-in-law is the largest in his world. The daughter-in-law said that he would not say second, even if he was his Eminem in front of him, but he could not bully his wife. Walked over with a grimace.
“You…what are you going to do? You fool, I told me but you Eminem, how can you help an outsider, don’t come over!” Wang Cuihua screamed back nervously.
“The daughter-in-law is not an outsider!” Zhao Zhengan became even more angry, and pulled Wang Cuihua’s arm out of the door, then turned around and closed the door quickly.
Zhong Ziqi secretly applauded.
“Well, you guys, you bully me together, I will let everyone comment on me.” Wang Cuihua knocked at the door, she could only stop, and walked away angrily.
Zhong Ziqi looked very pleased as she heard the voice getting farther and farther away.
“Daughter-in-law, don’t be angry!” Zhao Zhengan cautiously soothed, clutching Zhong Ziqi’s smooth little hand tightly.
“En? I’m not angry, I won’t be angry if I don’t see him.” Zhong Ziqi said solemnly, and didn’t feel that he had deceived people and needed an explanation.
The silly Zhao Zhengan remembered what his daughter-in-law said, the daughter-in-law doesn’t like Eminem, then-then he doesn’t like it either? !
Zhong Ziqi didn’t know what Zhao Zhengan was thinking. He walked back into the room, thinking that according to Wang Cuihua’s personality, he would not give up. He might decide how to slander the two of them outside, but his reputation seems to be bad enough. Is it worse than this?
Just as Zhong Ziqi thought, Wang Cuihua went to a crowded place after returning from Zhong Ziqi’s house. Under the big trees in the middle of the village, the summer weather was hot and many people sat under the trees. Wang Cuihua ran away looking aggrieved. Zhong Ziqi began to scold under the tree, and Zhao Zhengan did not fall, but Zhong Ziqi did not do anything too much after all, so it was all “no family education”, “heart cruel”, “not filial” and so on…
Compared to those ugly rumors before, these are really nothing, not to mention that many people are now too late to cheat on Zhong Ziqi, how can they offend the pole, only to say a few words with the same hatred as Wang Cuihua’s usually good people.
In the evening, the door of Zhong Ziqi’s house was knocked again.
“Zheng’an, go see who’s here, don’t let in if you don’t know.” Zhong Ziqi couldn’t get away while cooking.
Zhao Zhengan responded and filled the last firewood into the stove and got up to open the door. Was it Zhao A who was carrying a big back basket standing outside the door?
“Zhao Amo” Zhao Zhengan obediently called for Zhao Amo to come in.
“Hey, is Brother Qi at home?” Zhao Amo asked when he entered the yard.
“In the kitchen.” Zhao Zhengan pointed to the kitchen honestly, closed the door and followed behind.
“Brother Qi?” Zhao Amo went to the kitchen.
“Zhao A, so why are you here?” Zhong Ziqi was surprised, got up and covered the pot, and walked to the basin to wash her hands.
Zhao Ama smiled mysteriously and carefully took down the heavy basket behind him: “Look at what this is?” After speaking, he lifted the cloth that had been covering the basket.
Two black and bright puppies were lying inside, and they all murmured when they saw the light.
“Dogs!” Zhao Zhengan looked at the two little ones with joy, with bright eyes. He wanted to reach out and touch them, but he didn’t dare.
Zhao Ama let out the puppy inside. The youngest one had two palms longer than an adult, and the larger one was half a head longer than him. The hair on my body is not pure black when I look closely, and some places are still yellow. Because I changed to a strange place, I didn’t dare to run around. I sniffed and looked around, from time to time: “Wang Wang” Call twice.
“Today, I went back to my mother’s house. I asked for these two for you. This dog is too young and will not look after the house for a while, and it is too big to be raised. It is just right to be so big, and it will grow up to be this big in the end.” Zhao A He stretched out his arms and gestured.
“Thank you so much, Zhao A, for letting you take a trip.” Zhong Ziqi also showed love in his eyes. He liked stuffed things since he was a child, and he also thought about raising one, but the family didn’t agree with it. Only regretfully gave up.
“Hey! Thank you, there are so many dogs, and I am eager to find someone to send out two of them. I’m happy to hear that someone is willing to raise them!”
Zhao Zhengan knelt down and smiled stupidly at the two dogs looking at him: “Daughter-in-law, what do they eat?”
“You go get a bone and show them whether to eat or not.”
Zhao Zhengan immediately found a bone with meat and placed it in front of the puppy.
The two puppies only sniffed but did not eat when they saw their favorite.
“Daughter-in-law, they won’t eat it!” Zhao Zhengan said disappointedly.
“They are not familiar with us yet, just take it easy, you watch them here and don’t run around, I will talk to Zhao Ama.”
“Yeah!” Zhao Zhengan nodded indiscriminately.
Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Amo entered the main house, and when they reached a bowl of water, they handed it to Zhao Amo and sat down.
“Zhao A, how is the acquisition of Cai now?” Zhong Ziqi asked.
Zhao Ama took a sip of water and said, “It’s okay, but there may not be many in the village.” He meant that if only those family members were to be collected.
Zhong Ziqi groaned for a moment and said, “Zhao A, why don’t you let those people in the left and right villages hang out for so long, so let’s buy them. We live in the village, and we are too ruthless and too offensive. You can still sell them a favor.”
“Okay, listen to you, I was just about to tell you about this, but I didn’t expect you to bring it up.” Zhao Ama had to give a compliment. At a young age, he is a veteran, and he is really a life-training man!
“But there are a few people, Zhao A, don’t accept it…” Zhong Ziqi smiled.
…
In fact, what puzzled Zhong Ziqi was how the Zhong family was so calm and did not move at all. It was really calm and made him look at it with admiration. It’s just that the Wang Cuihua exploded, and they dived deeply, this…it’s abnormal!
Does the Zhong family really want to get involved? miss you! It’s just that they have a lot of food, but they don’t need much cucumbers and persimmons, and they can’t produce too much, so just forget it. There are not a few in the village. Many people grow only enough food for their own family. Seeing Zhong Ziqi harvest vegetables is not unsightly, but there is no way.
Nowadays, it is said that Zhong Ziqi is great in the village, and he has made a lot of money in business, and he is very kind to buy vegetables from a village. How can he not make the Zhong family jealous, greedy, and regret. But after all, this will break the bones that are connected to the bloodline of the relatives, which can’t be broken, the Zhong family thought.
Chapter 23 - Trouble door
After sending Zhao A away, Zhong Ziqi walked into the kitchen happily. What made Zhong Ziqi smile is that Zhao Zhengan is still staring with two puppies, the picture looks funny and harmonious.
“Eat, it’s delicious.” Zhao Zhengan pushed his bones, looking very much looking forward to it. He imagined that the dog will look majestic in the future. He must be very domineering when he takes it out. Huzi and the others will definitely be envious. his.
The dog was still young, and after insisting on seeing the person in front of him for so long was indeed harmless, he put down his vigilance, the big one leaned in and took the bone away and the small one ran to the corner to eat together.
Zhao Zhengan showed a happy smile.
“Do you like it?” Zhong Ziqi asked.
“like.”
“Just give it a name if you like.”
Zhao Zhengan thought about it seriously, and finally shook his head. He couldn’t figure it out: “Get up with the wife.”
Seeing that he really couldn’t think of it, Zhong Ziqi had to switch to him. Seeing that the two dogs had dark coats, he said casually: “Let’s call him Dahei, Xiaohei.”
He didn’t admit that he was named Fulai!
Zhao Zhengan clapped his hands happily, and shouted at the two sweet-eaters: “Da Hei, Xiao Hei.”
Dogs do not bird him.
Zhong Ziqi shook his head and ignored him. Now that he has two puppies, he has found two playmates for him, so he won’t be bored.
After having dinner in the evening, Zhong Ziqi sat on the bed and counted the money he has made in the past few days. In the nearly half a month since the opening, he has already earned nearly two consistent amounts of net profit. There is still surplus in spending for most of the year.
Zhong Ziqi is a little dissatisfied. Now that the initial difficult period has passed, he wants to think about something more long-term and profitable. The cold noodle business is only this season, and there will be no more after that, it is not as good as Zhong Ziqi has an idea in his heart.
The next day, Zhong Ziqi went to the stall as usual, and it didn’t take long for him to find trouble.
“Who are you?” Zhong Ziqi looked at the three in front of him vigilantly, headed by a bloated, greasy middle-aged man with a pinch of goatee on his chin and narrow eyes, looking shrewd and cruel. .
“You are the owner of this noodle stall? I am the shopkeeper of Changshun Restaurant, and my surname is Chang.” The shopkeeper Chang said with a smile.
The other customers at the stall have long been far away, and they know the most about who the shopkeeper is.
“I don’t know what the shopkeeper is doing when visiting my stall?” Zhong Ziqi looked at this person and knew that the person was not good, and only hoped that he would not come hard and hurt the innocent.
Zhao Ning, Zhao Sheng and Zhao Zhengan both stood behind Zhong Ziqi and watched nervously.
“I heard that Jinhua’s Jinhua shopkeeper came not long ago, and I heard that you rejected him. Then you must know what I am doing. You have to think about it. I’m not as easy to talk as that old man.” Chang shopkeeper I looked around and said with a smile, but the shopkeeper Jin smiled and looked kind, while he looked gloomy.
Zhong Ziqi’s heart trembled, and she was really afraid of what would come: “This—I hope Boss Chang will give me some time to think about it? I’ll give you a satisfactory answer in two days.”
“Hehe, then I will give you two days. If you don’t agree, I don’t think you need to do business in Qingshui Town.” Shopkeeper Chang gave him a threatening glance. One kick over a table, the bowl on the table crackled to pieces.
The shopkeeper Chang snorted and left with satisfaction.
Zhong Ziqi was relieved when the three of them walked far away. He felt sweaty behind his back, and his arms were tight. Zhao Zhengan was angry. If he hadn’t held it tightly, Zhong Ziqi would have no doubt that this guy would Rush up to fight them.
“It’s too much.” Zhao Ninghong said angrily. He was really frightened. He has lived in the village since he was a child and occasionally enters the town. He has only heard how terrifying the rich people are, but there is no real truth. I have seen that even the scorpions in the village are not so cruel.
Zhong Ziqi is okay. After all, he is an adult in his twenties, and he has seen more and more people. At least he will not be shocked by such a scene, but he does not deny that he is indeed shocked.
“Daughter-in-law, he is bad, bullying his wife!” Zhao Zhengan stared in anger. It was also the first time he saw such a scene. He was both scared and angry for fear that he would hurt his wife. Even though he was gone, he still sabotaged. The things of the daughter-in-law.
“Hey, you will be in trouble if you provoke him!” Uncle Song next door shook his head and sighed, his voice filled with worry.
“This kind of thing is not once or twice. I can often meet it on the dock. In contrast, I just kicked over a table, which is still gentle. In the past, there was a brother who made seafood on the dock. He He was particularly hard-hearted because of his good craftsmanship. At that time, half of the guests who came to the dock for dinner went to eat him. Unexpectedly, he was spotted by the surname Chang, and he was almost crippled in the end.” Uncle Song said here. There was a pause.
“What happened later?” Zhao Sheng asked, and everyone had a vague guess.
really.
“Later, he also had to compromise, and gave the recipe to the surname Chang. This Changshun restaurant has always acted cunningly and cruelly. He was helpless and afraid that he would compromise with his own family. Nowadays, he compromised. He no longer set up a stall to do business, and went home to farm steadily.” Uncle Song sighed after speaking, with helplessness and regret in his eyes.
For a while, the atmosphere in this small place was depressed and silent.
“What can we do? Our business has just been done, so do we have to…” Zhao Ning almost cried out in a hurry, Liushen Wuzhu.
Zhao Sheng also looked serious, but he was also weak in his heart. If a fight can solve the problem, then he can rush up as a man immediately, but this is not such a simple thing, the twists and turns involved behind it I didn’t even dare to think about it around him.
Zhong Ziqi took a deep breath and laughed suddenly: “Don’t worry, I know what to do!” He made a decision last night and will catalyze it today, but this Changshun restaurant is too arrogant, otherwise He can also consider whether to sell the formula to him. What a pity… he Zhong Ziqi is not a person who can be threatened. The harder you are, the harder he is. He is not **** the surface, but hard in his heart, but in his heart. He was very stubborn. From the fact of collecting vegetables, we can see that he is a person who must pay for it. How could it be cheaper to them? He would rather give it away to others than to make them happy.
Zhao Zhengan looked anxious on the side. He was infected by this nervous atmosphere. Can he hear that the man seems to be coming back, and he will bully his wife when he comes back? He doesn’t allow (╰_╯)
“Ziqi, don’t do anything!” Zhao Sheng said worriedly. I was afraid that he would follow the old path of the person mentioned by Uncle Song just now.
“That’s right, Ziqi, let’s sell it to him if it’s a big deal. Safety is of the utmost importance. You can make money with your craftsmanship.” Zhao Ning also said anxiously.
“You guys, it’s too naive. If you really tell Changshun the formula, they will buy it at a very low price. Some even sell the formula and you will encounter robbery. I don’t even mention you. “Uncle Song said, he really likes these children and doesn’t want them to suffer. It’s just that the people in this world are dark and complicated, and he can’t give them shelter. He can only pray that they will be safe and sound.
Chapter 24 - low
“Okay, don’t worry, I have a sense of measure.” Zhong Ziqi’s gentle smile as always, without a trace of sorrow, as if nothing could stump him, making others unconsciously believe it.
“Okay, let’s be here today, there are not many people left or right, let’s go back.” After the episode just now, no one was interested in the booth. Many vendors looked at them with gloat and felt that there was no strong opponent.
That’s okay, Zhong Ziqi took the opportunity to close the stall, and he was in no mood to put it down.
“Huh? Why do you come back so early today?” Huang Ama asked a few people suspiciously. Uncle Huang also walked out of the room when he heard the sound.
“Ah, there are some things, so I plan to go back early today. This is the rent for today.” Zhong Ziqi handed the four copper plates to Huang Ah, his smile was not noticeable, only Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng smiled reluctantly.
Sending the four away, Huang Ama turned around and said solemnly to Uncle Huang, “These children are not quite right, is there something wrong?”
Uncle Huang also frowned. They were all human beings. Why couldn’t they see it? Brother Qi hid it well, but Zhao Sheng and Zhao Ning couldn’t hide everything at all. It was easy to write everything on their faces.
“I’m going to find out.” Uncle Huang flicked his clothes and opened the door to go out. There are quite a few people who know him on the dock to find out.
Huang Ah Mo waited anxiously at home, always feeling uneasy, and soon Uncle Huang came back, his face was not good looking with a trace of sadness.
“How? Is something wrong?” Huang A asked anxiously, hoping that he was thinking too much.
“I heard that Changshun Restaurant is coming to make trouble.”
“What? This—what can I do? Poor child! Just over some!!!” Huang Ama was startled. They were all people living in the town. They knew too much about the forces in this town.
Jinhua Restaurant is the largest restaurant in the town. The forces behind them are beyond the reach of the dust and dare not provoke them. It is very mysterious. The Changshun Restaurant is just like the Jinhua Restaurant, and there are forces behind them, and the county grandfather of Fengyang City is their force behind the scenes.
Fengyang City is a city around Qingshui Town. It is a distance from Qingshui Town. You also need to take a waterway to get there. The Chang family is a small family there. The reason why they dare to be so unscrupulous is because the Chang family has a long appearance. The beautiful brother, is it exaggerating no one, they don’t know, but this brother was favored by the magistrate of the county grandfather, and he was almost on par with his original counterpart.
This brother was pampered with gold and silver gifts that he usually took to his home, which caused the Chang’s family to become more and more arrogant. This brother’s younger brother is also a savvy man. Although he was a bit rubbish, he still relied on his brother’s subsidy to open a restaurant, that is, the restaurant in Qingshui Town. If you ask why it is not opened in Fengyang City, the reason is Fengyang City. The restaurant is quite saturated. Second, the original partner of the county grandfather also has some influence in Fengyang City, so they opened the restaurant to stay away from Fengyang City to avoid collision with them.
Now the treasurer of Chang is also a relative of their Chang family. He is so lazy to cook. Now that his family is great, he has begun to dominate. However, Changshun can become the second largest restaurant in Qingshui Town, and it is not without strength. In addition to the signature dishes, many characteristics are obtained by this.
And especially the enemy Jinhua Restaurant, because Jinhua Restaurant dominates the town, regardless of whether Changshun is the second largest restaurant, only they know the gap between them.
This has also led to the fact that all the Jinhua restaurants valued must be taken over. Among them, the people behind the Jinhua restaurant do not often show up. Usually friction and hostility are not a big deal, but the real fight is still not dare. It’s this incomprehensibility that makes people daunting.
Now Changshun’s shopkeeper, Changshun, is walking sideways in this town, and no one is afraid or not afraid. This brother Qi is in trouble for him.
All the way back to Zhaojiacun silently. Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng wanted to go to Zhong Ziqi to think about countermeasures, but he refused: “I know how to do it. Go back and tell Zhao Amo to not accept the dishes, and leave the rest with you first.”
Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng had a bad feeling in their hearts, and went back home three times in the last step.
The smiling face that Zhong Ziqi had maintained for a day also slowly retracted.
“Daughter-in-law, don’t be unhappy, Zhengan will protect his daughter-in-law.” Zhao Zhengan looked worriedly at the daughter-in-law who was exuding low pressure. He was not afraid at all, only worried.
“En. I believe you.” Zhong Ziqi smiled absent-mindedly and walked home all the way home.
Zhao Zhengan cautiously surrounded Zhong Ziqi and did not dare to disturb him. When Zhong Ziqi saw his appearance amused, he touched his head and felt a little upset. For the first time he realized the horror of this evil force.
In modern times, there are legal restrictions, but no one dare to be so high-profile. In ancient times, the emperor is far away, and the people have no human rights. As long as they have a little money, they can trample people under their feet, and there is no place to stand. Feel the sadness of the little man this time.
But he won’t give in just like that, he doesn’t ask for any great wealth, he can always do it in his spare life, and he will find a way to remove all obstacles one by one.
“Hungry, I’m going to cook.” After trying to understand, Zhong Ziqi got up and walked into the kitchen.
“I’ll help my wife.” Zhao Zhengan followed.
Da Hei and Xiao Hei ran from outside the house, wagging their tails, and wanted to follow them into the kitchen. Zhao Zhengan stopped, and his wife said that they shouldn’t let them in the kitchen that would stain the food.
“Woo Wang,” Xiao Hei called out with his watery eyes open.
“You can’t enter, your daughter-in-law won’t let you go, go play in the yard.” Zhao Zhengan took a big bone from the cabinet and threw it to them. Da Hei and Xiao Hei immediately stopped worrying about the kitchen, and ran away happily with his bones in his mouth.
At noon, I was in no mood to eat. Zhong Ziqi simply made two bowls of cold noodles, boiled two eggs and put them in, and they were delicious.
After eating, Zhong Ziqi packed up his dishes and stood in the bedroom thinking for a while. Begin to ruin the cabinets.
Zhao Zhengan was startled and asked nervously; “Daughter-in-law, what are you looking for, Zhengan will help you find it!”
“You are standing there.”
Zhong Ziqi took out the clothes he brought from the last time, mainly Zhao Zhengan’s torn clothes. Since starting to set up a stall, Zhong Ziqi has forgotten except for buying a piece of clothing for the two of them at the beginning. I haven’t been willing to throw away the torn clothes these days, and now they are just being used.
Throw one of them to Zhao Zhengan: “Replace it.”
Zhao Zhengan took the clothes and changed them without asking. Zhong Ziqi turned his back to change for himself. He wants to enter the city again, but this time he must be low-key, so that he cannot be recognized.
However, it took Zhong Ziqi to wear the clothes before I could feel how torn the clothes were, especially the sleeves and hem and other places. At first glance, I was doing rough work. I couldn’t help but feel a little distressed, but there was no time to think about it . Wearing another good one outside the clothes, Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan went out.
The two went to Zhao Ershu’s house in the village first. Zhong Ziqi didn’t want to care about the copper plates anymore. He planned to enter the town in a carriage and make a quick decision.
There is a kid in Uncle Zhao’s family who is married. The child is three years old. The family is harmonious and harmonious. When Zhong Ziqi left, the family was sitting at the table for dinner. Hearing Zhong Ziqi’s intention, Zhao Ershu got up to set the car after eating the last bite of the meal in the bowl.
“Brother Qi, have you two eaten? Have some food here?” Zhao Ershu’s family greeted enthusiastically. Their dishes were the first batch of dishes purchased by Zhao Ama. Later, I heard that Zhong Ziqi took it back. Thank you very much, I think this kid is good.
“No, ah, we’re done eating, you guys eat quickly, I will disturb you at noon.” Zhong Ziqi smiled embarrassedly.
“If you don’t bother me, I’ll stop by when I have time, just to talk to my Reiko.”
Lingzi was his daughter-in-law, and she smiled shyly at Zhong Ziqi. The fat baby in his arms also showed a dimple to stop Zhong Ziqi.
“Yes, certainly.”
At this time, Zhao Ershu had set up the carriage, and Zhong Ziqi said goodbye to them and got into the carriage.
Chapter 25 - Sell
At the gate of the town, Zhao Ershu’s carriage could not be driven in, and could only be left outside. Zhao Ershu was uneasy and stayed outside the city to guard it.
Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan took off their coats to reveal the torn clothes inside, messed up their hair a little, and lowered their heads and went inside. Simply their look is very common in the town, because beggars also have this look, and other people will dislike them when they see it.
Jinhua restaurant is easy to find, because it is a large restaurant and it’s high, so you can tell at a glance. Just go in that direction. Fortunately, Changshun Restaurant and Jinhua are separated by a street, so they won’t meet each other.
It was noon when people came and went in the Jinhua restaurant, which was really lively. Zhong Ziqi stood at the door and watched for a while before pulling Zhao Zhengan in.
“Guest, come here for the first time, what do you want?” Xiaoer Dian greeted the two with a decent smile on his face, not because Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan were in ragged clothes and looked down upon them. At this point, I was very satisfied: “Where is your shopkeeper? I have something to discuss with him.”
Xiao Er looked at him and shouted inside: “The shopkeeper, someone is looking for it.”
“Come on!” After a while, the figure of the treasurer Jin slowly appeared in front of everyone: “Who is looking for me?”
The shopkeeper pointed to Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan, and then turned to greet the others.
Jin Sheng narrowed his eyes: “You are?”
“The treasurer of gold is really forgotten by the nobles. We met not long ago.” Zhong Ziqi said unhurriedly.
When the treasurer Jin heard the voice, he felt familiar. After a closer look, he finally remembered who it was: “It’s you, look at my memory, come in quickly, by the way, I don’t know what the two are called.” In fact, I don’t blame the treasurer. I didn’t think of them. Many days have passed since the last time I met. The shopkeeper Jin thought that the other party was unwilling to sell, so he forgot about it. It’s strange that he can recognize it as soon as he is dressed like this.
“My name is Zhong Ziqi, and he is my husband Zhao Zhengan.”
Jin Sheng took the two to a single room on the second floor, and ordered Xiao Er to serve some tea before sitting down. Some dumbfoundingly looked at the dress of the two of them: “How do you dress like this?” He doesn’t think Zhong Ziqi has no money to buy clothes, is it possible that business is so hot?
Zhong Ziqi smiled bitterly: “A word is hard to say.” With a sigh, Zhong Ziqi narrated the affairs of Changshun Restaurant. Shopkeeper Jin is not surprised. This kind of thing happens often, and he is used to it. What interests him is that this brother is very special and feels very different.
“Then you found here today, did you agree to my proposal?” The shopkeeper Jin asked.
Zhong Ziqi smiled bitterly: “I’m afraid I can’t do anything if I don’t agree, but if the shopkeeper can agree to one of my requirements, then I can sell you two other dishes to ensure that you don’t have it.” This is his only bargaining chip, and it is also practical. Bargaining chips.
“What conditions?”
“Let Changshun Restaurant no longer trouble us.”
Shopkeeper Jin smiled: “Behind the Changshun restaurant is the magistrate of Fengyang City, how could I…”
Zhong Ziqi interrupted him: “The shopkeeper Jin is joking. Who doesn’t know that Jinhua is behind a more mysterious force. If the shopkeeper doesn’t agree, then forget it. I won’t do business anymore. What about selling the recipe to other restaurants? You can make a lot of money, right?” Zhong Ziqi poured a cup of tea for Zhao Zhengan and watched him frown and drank it with disgust. Zhong Ziqi played with the teacup and smelled it and knew it was inferior tea.
Jin Sheng didn’t speak, and put his hands on the table and tapped. Just like Zhong Ziqi said, the county grandfather of Fengyang City didn’t pay attention to them at all. If they moved their mouths, they wouldn’t dare to intervene. In the words of their young masters, words that are worthless are not worth their shots at all. It’s too high-profile! Then the value of this white and tender little brother…Well, he admits that he can’t understand him, but his request is also quite tempting to him, so let’s do it.
“Okay, I promise you, and I hope you can do what you said.” Zhong Ziqi secretly relieved and smiled: “Treasurer Jin, don’t worry, you won’t be disappointed.”
The shopkeeper Jin got up and asked Xiao Er to bring pens and papers. Zhong Ziqi didn’t pretend to pick up the pen and start writing the formula. This surprised the treasurer Jin. He thought he could not write, but he did not expect that he could read and hyphenate.
The characters in this world are not too difficult, but they are a bit more cumbersome. Many characters are similar to modern characters. Moreover, he has the memory of the original body, so he hasn’t figured it out yet, so he has already written it quickly.
“This is my recipe for two kinds of noodles. It comes with a sour bamboo shoot. How about not losing it.” Zhong Ziqi looked like I was grandiose.
The shopkeeper Jin picked up the two recipes and caught his eye. The elegant and atmospheric fonts did not look like a country guy would write. A closer look at the content inside made the shopkeeper Jin admire even more, because it was so simple! I don’t know how he came up with it.
The treasurer put down the formula and said sincerely: “It’s amazing!”
Zhong Ziqi smiled modestly; “Where and where, I usually mess around.”
The treasurer did not pretend to take out an ingot of silver from his arms: “This is ten taels of silver, and the remaining two prescriptions are calculated separately.”
When Zhong Ziqi saw Yinzi for the first time, he was very curious. He believed that the treasurer would definitely not hold down the price. One tael of silver in this country is equivalent to 2,000 copper plates. This shows how much money is made by the dishes. He has only been close to this number after selling for so long.
“Can the treasurer give me some copper, so that it is convenient to spend.” Zhong Ziqi said embarrassedly, not leaking money, holding the big silver ingot is too conspicuous, it is simply telling others that I have money.
“I didn’t think about it well, Qin Zi?” The treasurer yelled again.
The shopkeeper came in: “The shopkeeper.”
“Go and get fifty taels of broken silver, plus ten pennies to send here.”
“Yes.” Xiao Er opened the door and went out, and soon came in again, holding a tray covered with cloth in his hand, and placing it on the table.
The treasurer Jin waved to him to go down, opened the cloth, and put the exchanged money board inside. The treasurer Jin pushed towards Zhong Ziqi: “You put them away, what do you write about those two?”
Zhong Ziqi carefully placed it in her pocket, and thought for a while: “Tomorrow, I will be here in the morning.” After finishing talking, Zhong Ziqi pulled Zhao Zhengan to his feet: “I’ll go back first, and I hope the treasurer will take care of the next thing. Take it to heart.”
The shopkeeper Jin smiled and said, “Don’t worry. I’m Mr. Jin who speaks and counts.”
Zhong Ziqi pulled Zhao Zhengan downstairs with satisfaction, and the whole restaurant was enveloped in a fragrant smell. He saw Zhao Zhengan staring at the delicious food, and touched his head: “Buy you delicious food.”
Zhao Zhengan immediately looked at his wife with joy.
The restaurant is too expensive to sell. Besides, Zhong Ziqi will make those dishes. If Zhao Zhengan wants to eat it, he can just buy the ingredients and make it. He went into a pastry shop and bought a pack of pastries. It cost him ten cents, which was really expensive. Fortunately, it tastes good, so I don’t care about those.
When I went out, I went to the clothing store to buy two clothes for them. The clothing was expensive, half the price of the material. Zhong Ziqi had to buy it even if he gritted his teeth. Who told him he could not make clothes.
At the moment when he handed out the money, Zhong Ziqi couldn’t help thinking, should he learn to make clothes?
