Chapter 157: News

"Hmm, Brother Wen, you said Mrs. Xia, when will there be news about that matter?"

Wen Hao wrung out the rag in his hand, looked at all the salutes and had been scrubbed clean, and then straightened up and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead. ∈ ♀ Top Novel, x.

Hearing Liu Quan's sneaky whisper attached to him, he couldn't help frowning and ruthlessly pushed Liu Quan's big face away.

"Don't get so close, it's hot."

Liu Quan put on an injured expression and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Look, just because the weather is too hot, Brother Wen, who has always been mild-mannered, has become irritable......

Wen Hao rolled his eyes and left with a bucket, regardless of Liu Quan, who was complaining behind him, it was really, who was irritable! It's clear that I'm the most irritable one.

However, Liu Quan's words reminded Wen Hao.

Speaking of which, it's been more than a month since the message was sent, and I don't know how the situation is.

Sighing in a low voice, Wen Hao's eyes were a little infatuated, "It seems like I want to eat ice cubes......

Because there is no reasonable explanation, this matter is too dazzling, Mrs. Xia has to hope that the shopkeeper Qin, if she can think of a way, or an explanation, in short, they have a small shop with no background, so rashly selling ice, I am afraid that it will cause trouble.

Xia Mei didn't think about the meaning of the jade pendant left by Xuanyuan Rui's children, and wondered if she would get any help if she took the jade pendant to find some people......

Isn't that how it's written in novels? I have suffered a lot for that jade pendant, if I don't write a return, wouldn't it be too much of a loss?

It's a pity, it's a pity, in a sense. Xia Mei's guess was correct, but when Xuanyuan Rui's child left, he didn't explain how to use this jade pendant!

And now he can't be found, so the road is cut off.

The so-called life is like a play, Xia Mei didn't expect that she couldn't find Xuanyuan Rui, but Qin Zhihan could, and Qin Zhihan didn't know about Yu Pei...... So this jade pendant didn't come in handy. Slowly forgotten.

But. That jade pendant has always been worn by Tang Bao, which can be regarded as a token, if you grow up in the future, you will meet Xuanyuan Rui. It can also be regarded as a certificate of recognition.

Xia Mei was boiling herbal tea in the kitchen. Now there is a drought. There is not enough food to eat, and no one will come to this restaurant to eat, and there are only occasional passers-by. Come in and have some side dishes.

But herbal tea is the best I bought so far, although Xia Mei wants to make cold noodles to sell, but it is a waste of food, so I have to give up.

Right now, if there is no herbal tea to support, this restaurant will not be able to open.

Although Qingshan Town is a border town, most of them are ordinary people, but there are also those rich and noble families who have settled here, although the food is urgent, but the money to buy herbal tea is still there, every day Xia Mei has to send several herbal tea portions, each family is several barrels.

In this way, there is an income of more than a dozen taels a day, and it can barely keep the restaurant closed for the time being.

Xia Mei looked at the flames jumping in the stove hole, the firelight printed on her hot and red cheeks, and the whole person between her eyebrows was slightly wolf.

If the ice cube can't be done, then this restaurant may have to close......

"Alas......" propped up her chin and sighed faintly, Xia Mei was really worried, and for the first time she experienced the pain of ancient people who relied on the weather to eat.

Although the natural disasters in the previous life were also strict, I haven't heard of famine or riots...... Like in ancient times, if one season of grain could not be harvested, countless people would be displaced and hungry.

Even Xia Mei's family does not have much food, this is still this year Wu Song has been working well in the field, plus there is a river in Dashan Village, according to Xia Mei's irrigation method, it can meet this season's grain.

Barely harvested this season's grain, no one can sell grain at this time, the food in the restaurant is all Qin Zhihan tried to get back, and it can only supply the needs of the restaurant and a few guys, and there are many, and there is no more.

In the next season, it depends on whether God gives face, if it doesn't rain, I'm afraid it will be ......

"Alas......" Xia Mei sighed again.

stood up, looked at the herbal tea in the pot and boiled it, so he called Mu San and asked him to move the herbal tea to the cellar and cool it for a while. This kid is naturally weird, and it is up to him to move rice and noodles on weekdays.

Mu San heard Xia Mei's shout and walked in, and her well-behaved appearance made Xia Mei always feel that she was abusing employees......

However, "Mu San, have you had anything to do lately?" I always see you sighing...... Yes! Xia Mei stood aside and watched him carry herbal tea, while talking to him, she suddenly thought of a reason, and asked in surprise: "Mu San, your family will not be ...... because of food?"

If that's the case, Xia Mei said that she should help a little bit...... You can't watch the people around you starve to death, your own food is enough to eat, and you can drink two more meals of porridge.

Xia Mei, who thought like this, asked Mu San with great concern, for fear that this child would do something bad if he couldn't think about it.

"Mu San, if you have something, you must say it! If we eat less food, we will also help you! After all, we're friends! ”

Xia Mei can be said to be bitter, but Mu San just denied it vigorously, and as for what happened, he refused to say a word.

Xia Mei had no choice but to give up, and repeatedly told Mu San that if he was in trouble, he must sue them, and everyone would help him......

After chattering, Xia Mei turned around and went to the front, ready to let Wen Hao go to deliver the goods, so she didn't notice that behind her, Mu San stared at her back, thoughtfully.

Xu is Xia Mei and Wen Hao and the others were looking forward too much, and a few days after that day, the people sent back by Qin Zhihan arrived at the Tianfu Inn.

"Mrs. Xia, Pavilion ...... Ah, Qin Gongzi asked me to convey to you, that matter has been settled, the nationwide ice sales, and ask Mrs. Xia to tell you the ice-making method, so that she can go back and hand it over to Qin Gongzi. ”

Xia Mei was stunned, she didn't expect that what she was waiting for was such news, she originally thought that Qin Zhihan was just trying to find a way to let Tianfu have a more legendary-sounding background or source, but now what is going on......

"Ice selling nationwide...... What's going on, you make it clear. ”

The person who came was someone from the Huaiyun Gang. And belongs to the elite category, at this moment, she is sitting in the box with Xia Mei and talking about things, which makes Xia Mei a little suspicious of Qin Zhihan's identity.

Feng Gang smiled faintly and said: "Mrs. Xia, don't worry, Gongzi Qin naturally has his own methods, in short, he got the right to sell ice in the whole country, and this matter is not what Mrs. Xia originally expected." Exchange silver coins for ice cubes. ”

Xia Mei was even more puzzled. "Could you please make it clearer?"

Feng Gang took a sip of herbal tea, sighed secretly, and then cleared his throat and said, "It's like this, Mrs. Xia, I think you must know the current situation in the whole country." Because of the drought, it has rained for a long time. In many places, there is no grain harvest. The people have no food, and they are miserable. ”

Not long ago, the crown prince was ordered to provide disaster relief. Who knew that when they arrived at the disaster relief place, the grain was swallowed by those black-hearted corrupt officials and sold at a high price, so the disaster has never been alleviated. ”

"Today, the Holy Lord Long Yan was furious, and asked the wise men of the world for good advice, and it happened that Qin Gongzi received your letter from Mrs. Xia, and was overjoyed, so he made a statement to the Holy Lord, saying that those rich and noble families would definitely not be able to resist this cool temptation by exchanging ice cubes for food."

"All the shops are operated in the name of the Huaiyun Gang, and some of the grain collected is used for disaster relief and some is sold, so that some disasters can be solved!"

After Feng Gang finished speaking, Xia Mei was completely stunned, she didn't expect that Qin Zhihan could use such a method to solve the current problem.

Moreover, she didn't expect that Qin Zhihan would be like this...... Mind the world.

No, she hadn't thought of such a plan herself.

Silently reviewed herself for a second, but then again, if Xia Mei thought of such a strategy, she wouldn't have the ability to go to the emperor and talk to her!

"Uh...... Your Excellency, where is Qin Gongzi now and what is he doing? ”

Feng Gang drank tea for a moment, and his eyes flashed a trace of strangeness, and then he replied with a chuckle: "Mrs. Xia, we only have a cooperative relationship with Qin Gongzi, and we have not asked about Qin Gongzi's private life. ”

Xia Mei's eyes darkened, and she smiled again: "I'm sorry, I was abrupt, Feng Gongzi came this time, and he wants to stay in Qingshan Town for a few days?" ”

Feng Gang pondered for a moment and said, "Hmm...... I heard that Tianfu has some deals with the Huaiyun Gang? ”

"Well, there's also the acquisition of fungus."

"Then since I'm here, let's take some more with me over and over again, I think I'll stay for a few more days, and Mrs. Xia can prepare slowly." In the future, Tianfu will sell ice, and I am afraid it will also be in the name of the Huaiyun Gang. ”

Xia Mei is a little entangled, in this way, isn't it not good for Tianfu Inn? Does this look count as giving away Tianfu's "equity......

So Xia Mei called out to Feng Gang, who was about to leave, "Eh, Feng Gongzi!" Please wait a moment! I have one more question! ”

Feng Gang turned around when he heard this, and looked at Xia Mei with a worried face with a light smile, "What else is the matter with Mrs. Xia?" ”

Xia Mei asked tentatively, "That...... What did Gongzi Qin negotiate with you...... What is the dividend? ”

Feng Gang was stunned for a moment, and immediately laughed again, he didn't expect that this woman was really planning for Tianfu!

Speaking again, Feng Gang's tone couldn't help but soften for a moment, "Mrs. Xia, rest assured, we don't take profits here, and the proceeds will be left to Mrs. Xia, if Mrs. Xia wants to sell grain, go to the Wanji grain store in the town, someone will buy it at the market price." ”

Xia Mei was overjoyed in her heart, with a satisfied smile on her face, politely sent Feng Gang away, and immediately jumped up happily in the room.

"Haha! Yours is it! Qin Zhihan, count yourself amazing! ”

In Xia Mei's eyes, Tianfu is Qin Zhihan and her only asset, so she sold Tianfu's equity for the sake of her own ice sales, no matter what, Xia Mei would not agree.

Fortunately, this guy is not so stupid, and he didn't let people lose their old books.

Xia Mei was very happy and gave Qin Zhihan a big thumbs up in her heart!

Finally solved one thing, Xia Mei instantly felt that the air was much fresher, and it was not so hot, and even the future became better!

Hurriedly asked Wen Hao to inform those villagers, if you want to sell fungus, hurry up, this time the amount is relatively large!

Wen Hao got the order and hurried away, Xia Mei took a pen and paper, locked herself in the room, and began to write the recipe seriously.

In fact, this thing has no technology at all, if you know the truth of the facts, you can make a large piece of ice as long as you are not a fool.

Therefore, this secret recipe must be kept secret, in case it is leaked, the plan will be ruined.

So, Xia Mei got entangled again.

Even if Xia Mei is just an ordinary lady in this life, at most she is a legendary chef, and she has no contact with conspiracies such as court politics at all, but after Yu Pei was chased and killed by those noble sons, she also knows that this world is not so peaceful.

So how do you write this recipe to keep it the most confidential?

Yes...... I miss Du Niang so much......

In those TV series in my previous life, how did I write secret letters......

For this problem, Xia Mei struggled for a long time, and until she returned home, she was still distressed.

After dinner, sitting in the room looking at the oil lamp in a daze, what will appear when it is roasted by the fire?

She finally remembered that she could use rice soup to write, and then wipe it with iodine wine, which would show the handwriting, and before she had time to be happy, she remembered that this was ancient times, where was there iodine wine......

Wu Song: "...... No, lady, you are only in your twentieth year now, how can you say that you are old? The lady is the most beautiful time! ”

corrected Xia Mei's concept with righteous words, Wu Song's image of an honest person looked extremely sincere at this time, which made Xia Mei's mood clear up in an instant.

"Just your poor mouth!"

Pretending to glare at Wu Song angrily, Xia Mei stood up, stretched, and left all her feelings behind.

Forget it, it must be the reason why the eldest aunt is coming, so I have so much messy love.

Tang Bao has grown up for many years! It's too early to quarrel with your parents for a girl, and what are you worried about now! I don't want to think about it, I don't want to think about it, cook and cook, let's eat bibimbine tonight! Make another smoothie for dessert after cooking!

turned around and went into the kitchen to be busy, and Tang Bao, who was pulling Niuniu to hide at the other end of the village, sneezed loudly.

"Ahh

Tang Bao rubbed his nose, and Niuniu asked in a worried whisper, "Brother Tang Bao, are you okay?" Is it cold? ”

Tang Bao swept the big worried eyes of the little girl on the side, the roots of her ears turned red, and she straightened her small waist and said, "How is it possible?!" I'm so strong, how can I catch a cold? ”

Niuniu nodded adoringly, "That's it, Brother Tang Bao, you are so amazing!" ”

Before Tang Bao's smug smile could be raised, the ghost man jumped out at once, grabbed him and laughed loudly: "Haha! Tang Bao, Niuniu, I found you! Who told Tang Bao to sneeze a big hahaha! ”

Tang Bao: "......"

Sneezing or something, it's so annoying!

…………

In a mountain forest on the outskirts of Yongcheng, in the middle of nowhere, there is a huge intricate attic with its exquisite process.

"Pavilion Master, King Jing has sent news that the matter on his side has been completed, just wait for our manpower and material secret recipes to be in place, and the matter of selling ice can begin."

Hearing this, Qin Zhihan slowly propped himself up from the soft collapse, touched his chin and thought for a moment before saying, "In this case, then you will send someone to Qingshan Town to get back the recipe from Mrs. Xia!" Sue her that what she wants to do, she can do it boldly and with confidence. ”

When his subordinates heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and asked hesitantly, "Pavilion Master, ...... Why don't you go back in person? ”

Qin Zhihan lay down with his back to his subordinates, and didn't speak for a long time when he heard the words, and just when his subordinates were about to leave, a low sigh came from the faint voice: "People are close at hand, but the heart is at the end of the world, why bother......

When the subordinate heard this, his heart was sour, and he hurriedly lowered his head and left, leaving the man's back lying on the soft collapse by the lake and pretending to sleep...... (To be continued.) )
