Chapter 143: Xiucai
On the winter night when the cold wind is raging, there is no trace of biological activity in the quiet mountain forest, and the only sound of the wind blowing the branches in the space where you can't see your fingers is whistling. Starters, oh dear
Wen Hao was wrapped in a thick cotton coat, wrapped his head with a towel to block the cold wind, his eyes adapted to the darkness, and he walked out of the town with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
"A good archer, eyesight is the most important thing, if you can find the token I put down in an hour in the night, the night will no longer be your obstacle."
Echoing Wu Song's faint words in his mind, Wen Hao tightened his coat and walked firmly towards the mountains and forests in the dark night.
It was a cold winter, and the large beasts did not come out to move, and there would be no danger around this dense forest, so Wu Song set the location in the dense forest outside the town.
He put down the token in advance every day, and then went home, agreeing that if Liu Quan did it, he would hang his awakening high, and if he couldn't do it, this training would continue forever.
Doing this, it is not excluded that Wu Song has the intention of deliberately embarrassing, according to his thoughts, Wen Hao can be different from Tang Bao, and if he wants to be his apprentice, it depends on whether you have this qualification.
Therefore, this can be regarded as an apprenticeship test given by Wu Song!
Wen Hao vaguely understood in his heart, but he didn't flinch in his heart, and indifferently thought that Wu Song did this for his own good, if he could see things at night, he would definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort.
Therefore, every night when Liu Quan fell asleep, he quietly got up and went to the outskirts of the mountains and forests outside the town alone to look for the token that Wu Song had hidden.
The difficulty of this task was that he didn't know what the token was.
Sometimes I was lucky and found it, but the hour also passed, and the next day came. The token was changed, and in order to train him, Wu Song also spent a lot of thought.
Wen Hao remembered that one day, he actually found a toy of Tang Bao......
Anyway, this training, before there is a result. It's going to go on forever. Hide it from everyone.
Xia Mei naturally didn't know.
Originally, she was rarely at home, and Wu Song had always gone to put away the tokens during the day, so she didn't know. His husband and his clerk have a secret that no one knows.
In fact, Wu Song wanted to sue her, but at the moment he had not decided whether to accept Wen Hao as an apprentice, and he was still in the testing stage. So I decided to wait until the decision was made.
So this matter became a secret thing.
Xia Mei didn't notice anything wrong. At the moment, I am struggling with those pΓΉ shops with pΓΉ.
I know that I don't really cooperate, but for the development of Tianfu, some grievances have to be patient with the ninja.
For example, the shopkeeper Sun in front of him looked at him sitting there with a big golden knife. With a critical and disdainful face, the brush in Xia Mei's hand was about to break.
Trying to squeeze out a stiff smile, Xia Mei asked politely, "Shopkeeper Sun." What are you here for? β
The implication is that you are here to beg me. It's better to figure out where you stand.
When Shopkeeper Sun heard Xia Mei's voice, he pretended to be awake and looked over, with a hypocritical smile on his face.
"Mrs. Xia, I heard that your store has cooperated with most of the shops in Qingshan Town, I don't know Mrs. Xia, what is the intention of this?"
When Xia Mei heard this, her eyes lit up, and she sneered in her heart, heh, it's only been a few days, can't hold it back?
Want to come hard so soon?! It's really breathless......
Shopkeeper Sun looked at the faint ridicule in Xia Mei's eyes, as if his heart had been seen through, he was annoyed and angry, and said sharply: "Mrs. Xia, since I am here, I am not afraid of you, let's have something to say." β
"Qingshan Town has always been a business of each other, not doing each other's business, how much money is their own business, there has never been so many people cooperating with one family."
"But now that you Tianfu has set this precedent, is this trying to break the traditional situation of Tianfu?!"
Stern reprimand, righteous accusation, full of righteousness, looking like he wants to do the right thing for heaven.
Xia Mei Black Line, do you think you are Sailor Moon, and you want to destroy me instead of the moon?!
Rolling her eyes, Xia Mei put away the contract in front of her, didn't look at the person in front of her, and said coldly: "Shopkeeper Sun, the door is in the back, I won't send it far." β
The justice on the face of the shopkeeper Sun was awe-inspiring, and he immediately froze, and gradually turned into anger, so angry that he pointed at Xia Mei with his finger, and his lips trembled and he couldn't say half a word.
"You...... You woman! It's ...... Unreasonable! β
But no matter what he said, Xia Mei just had a cold face and looked at him calmly.
Shopkeeper Sun, who was angry for a moment, looked at Xia Mei's cold attitude, took a deep breath, and calmed down.
Sit down again, put on a serious attitude, and confront Xia Mei.
Xia Mei called Wen Xi, let the tea be served again, took a sip slowly, and sighed that Wen Xi's tea art is getting better and better.
The two sat quietly for a long time, drinking cup after cup of tea.
Xia Mei was glad, fortunately, Mu San rushed back today, although because of something, he came a few days late, and he didn't ask for leave, Xia Mei didn't blame anything, after all, he was not a local, and it was hard to travel in winter, so he just deducted a few days' wages, so he didn't care anymore.
The two people in the room had already drunk several cups of tea, until Shopkeeper Sun began to feel a little unable to hold back and wanted to go to the toilet.
Coughed lightly twice, attracting Xia Mei's attention, and then said tentatively: "Mrs. Xia, I don't know what to do now?" β
Xia Mei raised her eyes and glanced at him, and said indifferently: "I'm a woman, what can I do?!" It's just short-sighted. β
Shopkeeper Sun smiled and pretended to compliment: "Where is Mrs. Xia, there are definitely few strange women in this world who can be like Mrs. Xia." β
Xia Mei smiled without saying a word, and took a sip of tea lightly.
There was an embarrassing atmosphere, and the shopkeeper Sun used tea to hide his blue face.
After a moment of silence, Shopkeeper Sun spoke again: "Mrs. Xia, there is no malice in the world, this time I came here, but I was entrusted by everyone to ask Mrs. Xia's plans." β
"I don't know Mrs. Xia, but you are interested in cooperating with all the restaurants in Qingshan Town?"
The slightly drooping eyes made it impossible to see Xia Mei's expression at this moment, and in just a moment, Xia Mei raised her head and said with a faint smile: "Shopkeeper Sun is serious." I'm a woman. How can I have such far-sightedness and courage, but what my shopkeeper commands, I will do it. β
"As for what the future holds, I don't know."
Shopkeeper Sun frowned slightly, the meaning of this word, could it be that Qin Zhihan really came up with this method?!
Surprised for a moment, Shopkeeper Sun continued: "Ho ho. Shopkeeper Qin is really capable...... At present, more than half of the restaurants in Qingshan Town have a cooperative relationship with your Tianfu. The whole restaurant also has the idea of cooperating with you...... Isn't this Qingshan Town the Tianfu family?! β
Although the tone of this is euphemistic, the meaning is not spared. Xia Mei's eyes were slightly cold, and the corners of her mouth were cold, "Shopkeeper Sun, forgive me for my shallow knowledge. Right now, even if I don't cooperate with you, that's where this Qingshan Town is the strongest! β
Faintly with a proud tone. successfully gave the shopkeeper Sun a blow to his heart.
Gritting his teeth and struggling for a moment, Shopkeeper Sun's momentum disappeared for the most part, and his tone weakened a little, "Mrs. Xia...... If. The rest of the people have established a cooperative relationship with Qingshan Town, can Mrs. Xia guarantee that these restaurants will not be swallowed up?! β
"Poof". Xia Mei couldn't help laughing, and waved her hand casually: "Shopkeeper Sun thinks too much." I will never swallow up your restaurant. β
Think about these thorny restaurants, I don't know how much work it will take to subdue myself, and let him go out of business by himself, isn't it much more worry-free?!
Receiving the assurance that he thought he was at ease, Shopkeeper Sun hesitated for a moment, and then signed a cooperation deed with Tianfu on behalf of the remaining eleven restaurants.
Since then, Tianfu has successfully occupied Qingshan Town, which has taken a very important step towards the goal of developing outside Qingshan Town.
Holding the deed in duplicate, Xia Mei breathed a sigh of relief.
After drying these restaurants for so long, there is not much arrogance left, and even if you want to stir up trouble in the future, you have to reverse your weight and think twice.
Xia Mei, who had solved a major matter, sent away the depressed shopkeeper Sun, Xia Mei returned to the kitchen again, and instructed Wen Xi: "You have the list of these dozen restaurants, and the dishes handed over to them should be more atmospheric." β
Wen Xi didn't have the slightest question, and turned around and went to the next door to boil the soup.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for these restaurants to send people to pick up the goods one after another, and then asked Wen Xi to go and make a menu, according to his master's order, the dishes taught by Wen Xi are suitable for a few people in the restaurant to sit down and eat, and the soup is very useful.
With these dishes, the business of the restaurant has improved, and these shopkeepers who originally had the intention of resisting have no mind now.
β¦β¦
Winter goes to spring, in the blink of an eye, time passes in a hurry between busy intervals, winter passes quickly, this winter, there are a few heavy snowfalls, and the crops in the fields have experienced wind and frost and become more tenacious.
The peach blossom tree in the yard has begun to bud, and Yunni is standing under the tree, looking at the newly grown buds, with a comfortable smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Sister Yunni, it's time to eat."
Wen Xi, who came out of the kitchen, stepped out and saw Yunni turning his head and smiling, in front of the vitality of the dead wood, there was a woman with an indifferent temperament like a peach and plum, smiling like a flower.
It's really fascinating.
Wen Xi, who didn't feel that he was also chuckling, said softer, "Sister Yunni, let's eat, today I made sweet potato porridge with pickled radish, Master likes it the most!" β
"That kimchi was taught to me by Aunt Chen, it's delicious."
Yunni walked over slowly, laughed and talked, then took Wen Xi's hand and entered the kitchen.
After breakfast, Xia Mei came, and discussed waiting for a few more days, and when the weather was a little warmer, she dug up the potatoes in the field, and the small vegetable patch in the yard should also be tidied up, and the soil should be turned over and planted for a new season.
However, "Master, it's February now, and the beginning of March is when the town school hall opens, are you ready for Tang Bao to go to school?" β
Hearing this, Yunni also turned her head to look at Xia Mei, Xia Mei came back to her senses from the distant scenery, if she didn't look at the distant scenery on this bumpy ox cart, she would faint for a while.
After thinking about it, Xia Mei smiled and nodded, "There should be nothing to prepare, I also know the location of the town school, in the future, we will take Tang Bao to go to school, I have also seen the master, he is a respectable old gentleman." β
"The new clothes are also ready, the small backpack is also ready, the bundle is prepared early, and the rest, it's nothing."
After listening, Yun Ni couldn't help laughing, and laughed a few times before saying, "Sister Xia Mei, you are really busy and dizzy." β
Xia Mei blinked, and there was a moment of confusion, "What's wrong?" Yunni, what did I leave behind? β
Yun Ni covered her lips and smiled: "Sister Xia Mei, since this Tang Bao is going to school, he has no tools, how can he study?" β
The euphemistic reminder made Xia Mei stunned for a moment, and Wen Xi suddenly realized, "Oh, by the way, there is also a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, Master!" β
As soon as Wen Xi said this, Xia Mei remembered, in fact, it's no wonder that she didn't remember, mainly because it was the first time to send a child to school, plus the children in the previous life, there was no need for pen, ink, paper, inkstone, these things, and the teacher would send them to the school.
Xia Mei, who knew the truth at this moment, couldn't cry or laugh, so she had to remember it firmly, thinking that she would go to the town later, so she went to prepare it for Tang Bao.
When the ox cart was halfway there, he looked at a team of several people, blowing and blowing, and there were even officials, Xia Mei and the others hurriedly retreated to the side.
Before he could react, he heard the uncle who was driving the car say with a happy and envious face: "Oh my God! This big mountain village has another talented man! β
Yunni is also very novel, this is the first time I have seen such a thing, and I can't help asking: "Uncle, these are the people who give good news to Master Xiucai?" β
The old man turned around with an excited face, and the eyes on his dry face were unusually shining.
"Isn't it! In a flash, so many years have passed, and I have seen the good news team of the first talented master in Dashan Village back then! β
Wen Xi clapped his hands happily, "This is really a great event!" Today, the village is going to be lively! β
Xia Mei, who was amazed, smacked her lips and replied, "It turns out that I saw this with my own eyes...... But I don't know which son's son has such a creation. β
Yunni nodded in agreement.
A few people stood on the side of the road in a daze, watching the team of annunciations go away, and sighed again before rushing back to the ox cart and hitting the road.
Besides, the team of the good news blew and beat all the way, and went to Dashan Village very lively, and countless people came out to watch from afar, and someone had already run to report to the village chief Li Rui, and Li Rui, who received the news, was panicked and surprised.
When the team of the good news came, the old village chief and the villagers stood at the entrance of the village to greet the team.
The procession gradually walked in, and the leader was full of joy that could not be concealed, and motioned for the team to stop and come to the village chief.
"Congratulations, congratulations, Village Chief Li, Lao Qian is here to say hello to you! Ha ha! β
Li Rui was supported by his son, holding a crutch, the folds on his face were piled together, and he smiled to reveal the broken gums, "Official, you are laughing!" What can I be happy about, I have to congratulate our talented master! β
