Chapter 386: Business
Second Uncle Xia's face was a little uncomfortable when he was scolded by the little black fish. He looked left and right www.biquge.info he saw that it was the summer solstice in the distance, and there was the old man Xia in the distance. He didn't dare to choke on the little black fish, but just laughed and confessed, saying that he had no intention of robbing the mutton soup business.
"I'll just talk about it, I'll just talk about ......" Then, Second Uncle Xia walked back to his barbecue stall in a daze.
Old Man Xia didn't know what Second Uncle Xia said to Xia Zhi, and he didn't hear what Little Black Fish said to Second Uncle Xia clearly. There were people coming and going in this market, and the old man Xia really didn't pay attention. When he saw Second Uncle Xia coming back, he whispered down Second Uncle Xia, feeling that Second Uncle Xia should not move around at will at this time, and should be guarding the stall.
Although there are Aunt Xia and Guo Xi on the stall, the stall owner is Uncle Xia. Second Uncle Xia is the one who calls the shots, and he should also be the most meticulous person.
"Second child, how many times have I told you. You also learn from your third brother, you, if you are more down-to-earth, how can there be those things. I also have to save a lot of heart. ”
"Dad, didn't I just go to see what the third and sixteenth children were doing. Second Uncle Xia defended herself, meaning that she cared about Xia Zhi and Third Uncle Xia.
Old Man Xia glanced at Second Uncle Xia and didn't say anything.
"Dad, the business of the third and sixteenth is better than mine. Daddy, I don't think I'm in this business. or ......" Second Uncle Xia discussed with Old Man Xia, wanting Old Man Xia to come forward and give him the business of mutton soup.
"Dad, there are several people in my family, and I am pointing to this way of life. Dad, you and my mother are short of money, or sixteen are short of money. You are not short of money, so why bother with this heart and work hard. ”
Old Man Xia also saw that the business of mutton soup was booming, but he did not forget that Second Uncle Xia did not look down on the business of mutton soup before and rejected Xia Zhi's kindness. Now let him come forward, what Second Uncle Xia said, he can't say it.
Moreover, Second Uncle Xia's temperament of retreating when he encounters a little difficulty, and thinking about taking advantage of it, is really undesirable. In the long run, Second Uncle Xia not only can't take advantage, but also has to suffer.
Isn't the lesson of Second Uncle Xia's family in Fucheng enough!
Old Man Xia hates that iron is not steel, and he thinks that Second Uncle Xia is healed and forgets the pain. He didn't plan to indulge Second Uncle Xia this time. "Don't wander around the side doors, and do a good job of this business. Aren't you making money in this business? Don't look at a mountain high!"
Second Uncle Xia muttered in a low voice, but he didn't dare to refute Old Man Xia. At this time, someone who wanted to eat meat skewers came over, and Old Man Xia asked Second Uncle Xia to entertain him.
The cakes on the summer solstice side have been sold out, and there is only one pot bottom left in the mutton soup. At this time, the collection had not yet dispersed, and Xia Zhi made the decision and asked Sun Lan'er and Qian Nier to collect the stall. The rest of the mutton soup is not sold, and it is left for his family to eat. Xia Zhi asked Little Black Fish and Little Xia Lin to find Qian Yuelai, and then invited Old Man Xia over to drink mutton soup to warm up. Then she also left two cakes for Qian Yuelai.
This cake is very sincere, one is enough for three taels, and ordinary people are almost full when they eat two in a big bowl of mutton soup.
Old Man Xia remembered the business of Second Uncle Xia in his heart, but he still talked to Qian Yuelai while drinking mutton soup, and asked Qian Yuelai how his business was doing in Luoma City today.
By this time, the number of people in the bazaar had slowly decreased. There were more customers at Second Uncle Xia's barbecue stall. Maybe it's because a lot of people have finished their errands and have time to eat barbecue. Or maybe they finally can't stand the temptation of barbecue ~ aroma ~ .
The barbecue stall was busy, and Second Uncle Xia also had a smile on his face. He can speak well, and Zhang Luo is very happy.
Qian Yuelai knew something about Old Man Xia's thoughts. Now the Xia family has the worst life for Second Uncle Xia, and it is the most worrying. Qian Yuelai smiled and boasted to Old Man Xia that the business of the barbecue stall was good.
"It's still the first day and it's definitely better after that. ”
Old Man Xia also smiled: "...... They can make a few bucks, and it's enough to be loose in their hands. It's just to make hard-earned money. ”
"Aren't all of us like this? Qian Yuelai laughed, and then mentioned the summer solstice, "Thanks to the sixteenth ......"
"Yes, Sixteen is a great hero of our family. Good boy......" Old Man Xia nodded again and again.
At this time, Xia Zhi was not at the stall, so did he hear what Old Man Xia and Qian Yue said. She took the little black fish to go shopping.
While buying a lot of things, Xia Zhi also arranged to store things. One customer is not bothered by the two masters, she is looking for the grocery store that she often visits.
The Xia family's own oil, salt, sauce and vinegar for business are all bought from this shop, and as a familiar customer, the shopkeeper of this busy grocery store is still very willing to help.
Coming out of the grocery store, Xia Zhi went to Juxian Restaurant again. Shopkeeper Li welcomed Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer to sit in the back, and then took out a letter.
"Yesterday came after dawn, and it was almost dark, so I didn't send it to the girl. I thought the girl would have to come to the market today......"
In addition to letting people bring letters, Li Xia also brought a lot of food to Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer, all of which were famous cooked foods and snacks in Fucheng, and they were also Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer's favorite food when they were in Fucheng.
Li Xia thought very thoughtfully. It has been a few days since Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer returned to Daxingzhuang, and the food brought back from Fucheng should be almost eaten. Li Xia can be regarded as replenishing the stock of the two people in time.
The little black fish was very happy, and said that Li Xia was interesting in front of the shopkeeper Li.
"I miss Li Xia a little bit. The little black fish also said, looking at the summer solstice, and then at the shopkeeper Li, as if expecting that the two of them would immediately summon Li Xia to the front.
Shopkeeper Li smiled: "Young Master Xiaolong wrote a letter to our young master, and our young master will definitely come immediately." "Shopkeeper Li is also very good at coaxing children.
Xia Zhi waved his hand in a hurry, and then said to the little black fish, telling him that he couldn't do this. "Li Xia also has a lot of things, let's not make trouble for him. Besides, let's not say it's okay, he'll be here in a few days. ”
"Hmm. Little Black Fish nodded, and then said honestly, "It would be nice if Li Xia could come a few days earlier." ”
Shopkeeper Li smiled: "The relationship between Young Master Xiaolong and our young master is really good." ”
"That's it. The little black fish nodded in agreement, not at all modest.
Shopkeeper Li took out tea, snacks and sweets to entertain Xia Solstice and Little Black Fish. The little black fish is not seen here, so they pick what they like to eat. Xia Zhi opened Li Xia's letter and read it.
Li Xia's letter was the same as always. Looking at Li Xia's letter, it was as if he was sitting in front of him and talking to himself. In this letter, Li Xia confirmed with Xia Zhi that he would definitely come when the Xia family killed the New Year's pig. Then let the summer solstice rest assured.
Regarding the rumors in May, Li Xia has found the source in Fucheng and dealt with it.
Li Xia didn't tell Xia Zhi about this matter, but she didn't have to worry about it anymore.
Li Xia was very relieved to do things. The rumors about a few people in May can now come to an end.
Back at the stall, Xia Zhi saw that there were still a lot of guests at Uncle Xia's barbecue stall, and he was secretly happy in his heart. The money is still there. He drank the mutton soup and ate the cake but did not leave, just waiting to say goodbye to Xia Solstice in person.
Qian Yuelai said so, and Xia Zhi just smiled meaninglessly. Who knows if Qian Yuelai is waiting for her, or just to watch Layue for a while and find an opportunity to say a few more words to Layue.
"Brother Yuelai, won't you go back to my house for a while?" Xia Zhi asked Qian Yuelai.
"Nope. Qian Yuelai told Xia Zhi that he had to go home today, and then he had to pick up a flock of sheep. At the end of the year, Qian Yuelai's business in Luoma City was also booming. It's rare to be able to live in Xia's house these days.
"Let him go back, it's almost the New Year, and there are a lot of things to do at home. Old Man Xia said.
"Brother Yuelai, go and talk to my third uncle. Xia Zhi said with a smile. On the surface, she is asking Qian Yuelai to say goodbye to Uncle Xia, but in fact, she will talk to Layue when she gives Qian Yuelai.
Qian Yuelai was a clever young man, he immediately understood the meaning of the summer solstice, and while he was grateful to the summer solstice, his face involuntarily turned a little red.
Old Man Xia didn't seem to see it, he only told Qian Yue to be careful on the way back and forth, bring it to the Qian family, and then go to the barbecue stall.
Qian Yue came over to talk to Uncle Xia, and then Layue was pushed by Chen Xing'er, and then Layue walked over slowly by herself.
Sun Lan'er and Qian Nier also came back from shopping at the market, and they and Xia Zhi completely cleaned up the stall together, so they let Xia Qiao set up the car. Without the car that came from Qian Yue, Xia Zhi planned to send a group of people back first.
Third Uncle Xia also began to clean up the stall, and Second Uncle Xia was still busy there. Xia Zhi walked over and told Old Man Xia. Let the car run twice to pick up people, this arrangement, Old Man Xia agreed.
"Master, will you go back with us first?" Xia Zhi asked.
Old Man Xia hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll wait." Hey, I'm not worried about your second uncle. "There are enough people at the barbecue stall, and I don't need the help of Old Man Xia. But Old Man Xia just can't rest assured. He also explained to Xia Zhi, "Your second uncle will help watch the stall this time, and I won't worry about it in the future." ”
"Master, what do you want to eat at noon, I'll go back and ask my milk to make it for you. "The summer solstice said.
"You can eat anything. Eat first, don't wait for me. Old Man Xia told Xia Zhi, "I drank mutton soup and had food in my stomach." When you go back, let your milk cook, and let Lanzi and Channier eat quickly. Both children are busy enough today. ”
Xia Zhi smiled and agreed.
Xia Qiao drove to take the food brought by Li Xia and the things he bought on the summer solstice back to Daxingzhuang first. Sun Lan'er, Qian Nier, Layue, Chen Xing'er, Xiao Shu'er and Xiao Xia Lin sat in the car, Xia Zhi took Xiao Heiyu'er to ride Big Gray to follow behind, and Xiao Gray was left to Old Man Xia.
When they arrived at the gate of the backyard of the Xia family, Mrs. Xia greeted them. Mrs. Xia also deliberately took a closer look in the car, and saw a lot of things. However, Mrs. Xia's eyes were still in the car********Are you afraid that no one will drink our mutton soup, and you will be left behind?" Xia Zhi asked Mrs. Xia with a smile while asking people to move things into the house.
Mrs. Xia was a little embarrassed when Xia Zhi said that she was in her mind.
Sun Lan'er and Qian Ni'er rushed to tell Mrs. Xia how the business of mutton soup was so good, and how the cakes were sold out quickly, and Mrs. Xia was surprised and delighted.
"Really?"
"Milk, can this be fake? Xia Zhi smiled.
"Oh, I didn't expect it, that's great. Mrs. Xia smiled happily and followed the big guy into the house to talk.
Xia Zhi first told Mrs. Xia that Old Man Xia would have to wait before he came back. Mrs. Xia was not surprised by this. "Your second uncle doesn't collect the stall, you~ Ye will definitely not come back. He's most worried about his second son. ”
Mrs. Xia whispered this to Xia Zhi.
When this relationship is close, it will say things that will not be said in front of others.
"What's going on with all this thing?" asked Mrs. Xia then.
The little black fish hurriedly told Mrs. Xia. Mrs. Xia said that Xia Zhi bought too many things, and Mrs. Xia didn't know what to say about the things that Li Xia brought.
"Li Xia is a sincere child. ”
The little black fish nodded.
"Sixteen, take these things back and put them there. Just leave a little and eat with your uncle when you come. Mrs. Xia said to Xia Zhi.
"Milk, let you go. I'll just take a little bit of it. Xia Zhi said, "Milk, that ham was specially brought by Li Xia to you and my grandfather." ”
In addition to the famous food in Fucheng, there is also a Jinhua ham. Li Xia had sent Jinhua ham before, and Mr. Xia and Mrs. Xia liked it very much, and they felt that it was very delicious, whether it was porridge or stew.
"Okay, I'll make a few japonica rice porridge for your grandfather in the evening. This ham is delicious, we can't make this taste. Mrs. Xia happily put away the ham, and then made lunch. "Let's not wait for you~ Master, let's eat it first. ”
Without Xia Zhi to convey Old Man Xia's words, Old Lady Xia knew that she should do this.
Sun Lan'er and Qian Ni'er both said that they would wait for Old Man Xia.
"What will he do, I don't know when he will come back. Besides, he will come back without food?"
Old Man Xia helped Second Uncle Xia to sit in charge, Second Uncle Xia's business is also good today, and he will definitely have to invite Old Man Xia to dinner when he comes back. Besides, there are a few members of Uncle Xia's family, according to the tradition that has always been there, they will not be frugal for lunch this time.
Mrs. Xia cooked, Sun Lan'er and Qian Nier followed the helpers, and Layue and Chen Xing'er refused to be idle next to them. The meal was pretty realistic.
The first dish is carp stewed with tofu semolina. This carp was bought from the market on the summer solstice, and the large carp was freshly chiseled and fished out of ice, which was particularly delicious. Then there is stir-fried dried tofu with pork, shredded pork mustard shoots, vinegared cabbage, and a large pot of potatoes and braised pork. These dishes are added to a plate of roast chicken, a plate of roast duck, and a dish of meat skin powder soup that Mrs. Xia is good at. The staple food is steamed bread with wheat noodles.
The meal was put on the table, and Xiao Xia Yang came over. Mrs. Xia thought of May.
