Chapter 120: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow

Qixi looked funny, and brought all the snacks he got back to him: "Then, this is all specially bought for you by Tianci in mind." ”

Zhao Tianbao was embarrassed to do this, and then looked at Shen Jingwen who was sitting there steadily, and quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, those are all things that your girls' family likes." ”

"Sister Qixi, I said it a long time ago, if you don't give it to my brother, he will definitely come and ask for it, but you are embarrassed to accept it if you give it to him. Zhao Tianci didn't say anything to Shen Jingwen at that end, and turned around and said with a teasing face.

Zhao Tianbao realized that the two little girls were deliberately laughing at him, and they thought of their actions just now, and they also felt funny.

Dinner was eaten in Zhao's mansion, and after eating Qixi rejected the Zhao family's brother and sister's proposal to send them back to the inn, and told them to rest early, and they would leave for Fucheng early tomorrow morning.

Zhao Tianci was still a little reluctant, until Qixi told her that when she came back from Fucheng, let her go to the house for dinner, and then designate a big table of delicious food for her, Zhao Tianbao nodded and said okay without waiting for her sister to answer.

Zhao Tianbao arranged a carriage to send them back to the inn, and then sent them back to Xiaobaili Village directly.

"Big brother, did you ask?Does the Lin family really grow their own vegetables?" The grandfather returned to the inn, and as soon as the door was closed, he asked.

I went to Zhao's Mansion this morning, and Qixi deliberately took the vegetables I brought, and when I was going to go to the restaurant, I compared with other people's ones, obviously their family was better, but even so, Lin Mansion still didn't show interest, and Qixi knew that Lu Dao should not be the reason for the dish.

So when the contract for the asparagus was signed, Qixi left the dishes at the Zhao family. Let the eldest brother ask what the reason is when he finds an opportunity to chat.

"Hmm. Keiwen nodded. "You guessed it right. The Lin family's dishes are all grown by their own family, and no matter how good our dishes are, they can't look down on them. ”

Jingwen said the content of the conversation between Qixi and Zhao Tianci after they left, and Qixi realized that he had not guessed wrong, but it should be so, the Lin family's restaurants are all over the place, if they really point to cooperating with vegetable merchants, not only will the cost be greatly increased. It's also full of variables.

"Not only these, Steward Yang also said that in this county or the prefecture, in addition to their own food supply like the Lin family or the Song family, the general restaurant has already signed a contract with the nearby vegetable merchants, and the vegetable merchants' land is on the outskirts of the city, and there is the advantage of being close. Jingwen hesitated for a moment, thinking that it was better to tell the little sister. I can't hide it.

"Besides, the Lin family said that many vegetable merchants are now responsible for delivering vegetables. We don't have a carriage or anything, unless, our food is two or three percent or more cheaper than others, Steward Yang said, so maybe some people are not afraid of trouble and will be interested. Shen Chenghou also said.

"It's true that we thought too well before we came, just thinking about good things and not worrying about selling, but didn't you forget that the 'cyclamen' was also changed to ours because of this? Qixi was slightly stunned at first, and then suddenly realized.

"Xi'er ......" Seeing that the little girl didn't speak for a long time, Shen Chenghou knew that this child wanted to be ahead of the family even more than their fathers and mothers, and this was such a thing, Zhun Bao felt uncomfortable in his heart, so he hurriedly said, "Actually, it's good that our family can do this asparagus business with the Lin family, but no one else can grab it, the green vegetables, we will sell them in the town, and we will sell them to the town, don't we know enough?"

Jingwen also looked at the little sister a little cautiously, the two of them were really afraid that Qixi would be disappointed because of this matter, and she had thought a lot about everything in advance before coming to the county seat this time.

Qixi didn't expect that my father and eldest brother would react like this, and then I realized that Lu Dao was worried about herself, but she really didn't take it to heart, so she smiled and said: "Dad, big brother, in fact, you don't have to comfort me, like Dad said, I'm already content, our family has been a lot less troublesome since we started doing business and now we have met nobles all the way, but how can we really do it all the time, if there is no turning around, how can we know which way is right in the future? Dad, do you say no?"

"Yes, my little girl said everything. Shen Chenghou didn't expect that this kid knew everything in his heart, and it sounded like he was comforting them in turn, so he smiled, thought about it and puzzled, "Then our food, can't we sell it cheaper?" Didn't Steward Yang say that if we were cheaper, would the people still be willing to buy it?"

"No, you can't. Qixi immediately replied, "I just thought about it, our vegetables can't be sold now, it's not that the dishes are bad, it's because it's far away, it's not convenient for our family to have a carriage to transport it this winter, and now if it's cheap and a little bit cheaper, it can't attract people, but if the price is too ruthless, offend many people and don't say, in case our family has the money to buy land in this suburb in the future, if we also sell vegetables at that time, the price of vegetables will not rise." ”

Shen Chenghou and his son were stunned, they really didn't think so far, and they couldn't understand it anymore: "We are selling cheaply now, it's not because of the cost of carriages and horses, why won't it go up in the future?"

"Let's think so, others are not necessarily, some things you sell cheaply, in their hearts, even if the price is set, in the future, you want to mention it is not easy to mention, and small profits and quick sales are not like this. Qixi shook his head and said, refusing to label his own dishes as cheap from the beginning, "Don't worry, I have roughly calculated, our family's income this year has been calculated, and we can save a sum of money, but it will not be enough next year, then the year after tomorrow at the latest, it is not impossible for us to buy land or something in the suburbs." ”

"Xi'er, do you mean that we are counting on serving vegetables like those vegetable merchants in the future?" Jingwen completely understood what the little sister meant, so he asked with some wistfulness.

"Well, but that's going to be talked about later, our family has no capital now, and if you want to build a warm house, buy a car or something, you have no money, wait for the money." Qixi smiled and said, "Forget it, we didn't think about it, but it's not a trip in vain, at least we understand a lot, don't we? ”

Shen Chenghou's father and son also laughed, and the youngest daughter said yes, if they don't come to the county seat, how can they know this.

persuaded his father and eldest brother, Qixi also figured it out in his heart, some things are in a hurry, their family's current conditions are not enough to grab business with others, let's take it step by step.

The family went back to their rooms to rest, and as soon as they got up the next morning, the Zhao family's subordinates brought breakfast over, saying that the young master had ordered it before leaving in the morning, and the Shen family's meals would be prepared on time and sent over.

Qixi hurriedly said that it was not troublesome, but the Zhao family was very insistent, and said that if she didn't want to, then they would be embarrassed, Qixi had no choice but to take the meal, and said that lunch would not come back to eat, so they responded and said that they would come to send dinner.

After breakfast, Qixi packed the dumplings taken out of the space, and when she came, she specially brought her small basket, ready to go to a few restaurants on her back to ask, if it didn't work, they would go shopping again, anyway, it would be too late.

"This dumpling, why didn't my father see you bring it, it can't be broken if it is left in the house for a few days?" Shen Chenghou didn't expect the little girl to bring the dumplings too, and asked hurriedly.

"I brought the food from the bottom of the table, and when I came, I put it outside the window. Qixi pointed to the window of the house, "It's cold outside, it's still freezing at this time, don't worry, Dad, it's not broken." ”

The dish is afraid of freezing, but this dumpling is more convenient after freezing in winter, it can be transported a lot at a time, I want to try it on Tanabata, if someone is willing to buy it, even if the time comes to hire a carriage to send it, even if you don't need to keep warm.

Out of the inn, the grandfather and his wife went to the street where the Lin family's restaurant was, there were many restaurants nearby, except for the Lin family, which was the largest, and the remaining relatively small ones were their targets.

The grandfather took another road, and Jingwen saw a restaurant on the side of the road looking at a restaurant whose faΓ§ade was not inferior to the Lin family, so he pointed it out to the two of them.

"Why don't we go and ask?" Qixi saw that there were a lot of guests inside, and he was a little eager to try.

"This is about the same age as the Lin family, I'm afraid I won't sell dumplings, right?" Shen Chenghou hesitated, Steward Yang said that generally such a large restaurant really doesn't sell dumplings, even ordinary vegetables have to be made into flowers, and what is sold is a taste.

"Whatever, let's go and see, if people don't want us, we'll come out again." Qixi didn't care, one in one hand, and pulled her father and her brother inside.

The cost of eating in this big restaurant is really not something that ordinary people can afford, so few people from the countryside come into the city, especially like this grandfather, Qixi is also carrying a small basket, and even the young man is the first time to see it.

"Guest officer, who are you?" Even if it didn't look like he was here for dinner, the young man still greeted him with a smile.

"Miss, let's tell the cook to prepare it early according to Miss's instructions, and the food will be served as soon as Miss comes over at noon. ”

"Zhilu Dao, Zhilu Dao, you can watch it. An impatient voice sounded, "How can you do anything...... Oops......"

As soon as Qixi was about to talk to the young man, he was knocked crooked by the person next to him, and quickly stretched out his hand to straighten the basket first, for fear that the dumplings in it would fall out.

"I'm sorry. Although she didn't complain about her, Qixi still said something, and she turned her head to pass.

"You stand still! It's you, are you the girl who watched my joke with Zhao Tianci yesterday?" The person who came recognized Qixi Festival, stopped in front of her with an arrogant face, and reached out to pat the clothes on his body, "I don't know where the hillbilly came from, and you dare to hit me and dirty my clothes, can you afford to pay for it?"

Qixi only then noticed that it was Miss Song Jiaoran yesterday, and she couldn't help but have a headache about how to meet her, so she had to say helplessly: "Miss Song, you bumped into me just now." (To be continued......)
