Time is like flowing water, fleeting.

In the blink of an eye, another month passed, and Xia Mei was finally ready to open a branch.

Xu is because this year's year is not good, this year's winter has come later, at this time in previous years, the snow has already begun to fall, and now, Xia Mei looked up at the big sun in the sky, and smiled helplessly in her heart.

I don't know, it's a blessing or a curse.

But for now, it is a great benefit, because if the weather becomes cooler and frost and snow falls, then the grain in the fields will definitely be reduced, and the people's harvest will be less.

But now, although the temperature is lower, the sun is still in the sky, the cold wind is blowing, and the grain is slowly ripening, and now, it is time for the harvest.

Special period, special treatment, because of natural disasters, this year's grain is not suitable for the season, but in order to survive, this is also no way, you can't help but eat rice noodles!

Because it is not the right season, the grain output is generally not high, if you save some food, there is absolutely no problem next spring, so when you come in, the faces of the people have a long-lost sincere smile.

Can you not be happy?! Many people are waiting, looking forward to it, after the grain is harvested, they will have a full meal, and they have not touched the stomach of oil stars for nearly a year.

Xia Mei is naturally the happiest, because her potatoes were taken back as early as a month ago, this month, Tianfu launched potatoes, all kinds of potatoes, all kinds, steamed, fried, boiled, fried, stewed, as long as it can be done, Xia Mei has made it all.

At first, everyone didn't understand what was good about this potato, but then I slowly ate it and realized that it tasted really good. Soon, some discerning people discovered that there are dozens of ways to make this potato!

This shocked everyone, where did this food come from? How do you do so much? Catching up with the status of rice, fine noodles, if it is ...... If you can grow it yourself, then ...... Wouldn't that be one more staple food in the future?!

There is also a good memory. Discovering such things began to exist very early. It's just that at that time, there were only two methods, frying and boiling, which did not attract attention, and now. But there are so many ways to do it suddenly, which ......

Naturally, countless people set their eyes on Tianfu Restaurant and began to silently play the idea of potatoes.

"Master!"

A cry of thin anger. Before she saw the figure, it had already reached Xia Mei's ears, and she looked up when she heard the sound. Wen Xi wrinkled a small face, a pair of peach blossom eyes were sparkling with anger because of anger, and her cheeks were red, which was very good-looking.

A few steps rushed to Xia Mei's eyes. Wen Xi's voice was filled with grievance and anger, "Master! Those people are really too much! ”

With a light smile, she looked at Wen Xi, who was crossed-waisted and her face was not good, and Xia Mei chuckled helplessly: "What's wrong?" Who bullied you again? Come. Sue Master, Master asked Liu Quan to beat him! ”

Xia Mei, who pretended to be angry, successfully amused Wen Xi. I couldn't help but laugh all at once.

"Master, you hate it! People are obviously angry! You don't know! You don't know who ......."

"Okay, okay, I know for the teacher," he pulled Wen Xi to sit down soothingly, "Those shopkeepers, are they forcing me to go out and give them potatoes?" ”

Wen Xi nodded violently, and was about to open his mouth when Xia Mei interrupted: "Did they still say that if we don't agree, they will unravel the cooperative relationship with Tianfu?" ”

Wen Xi's neck was about to break, and she looked at her master with a look of adoration, sure enough, the master was amazing, and she knew what was going on outside if she didn't listen.

Xia Mei sighed helplessly, touched Wen Xi's head and said seriously: "Wen Xi, why are you angry with these people? If you are angry, you are the one who suffers! ”

"But Master......"

"Wen Xi, listen, never let these irrelevant people disturb your feelings and affect your judgment."

Seeing that Wen Xi was a little confused, Xia Mei sighed lightly in her heart and continued: "Wen Xi, think about it, all the restaurants in Tianfu have the cooperation with our family, right?" ”

Wen Xi nodded.

"So now that it's going to be winter, this hot pot soup will only get better and better, right?"

Wen Xi nodded again.

"That's right, it's you, would you give up such a good opportunity to make money at this moment?"

Wen Xi hesitated for a moment and shook his head.

Xia Mei smiled with relief: "That's right, even if they all give up cooperation with Tianfu, it will not be us who will suffer, but our business will become prosperous because of their withdrawal." ”

When the words fell, Wen Xi's eyes lit up, and his little face was filled with joy: "That's right! Master, you're right! Why should I be afraid of them?! Love cooperation or not cooperation, if you don't cooperate, you go! ”

With an arrogant chin, Wen Xi's expression was full of rare pride and confidence, Xia Mei looked at Wen Xi's longer and more delicate facial features, and at the same time, she was relieved and at the same time, she also crossed a trace of unease.

"Wen Xi, also, the contract we signed at that time, but it took five years to sign, and it has only been less than a year, and these people are going to terminate the contract, how can it be so simple!"

Wen Xi looked at Xia Mei curiously, only to see her eyebrows slightly raised proudly, and said in a happy tone: "The contract is clearly written, if the contract is broken, we will be compensated for a thousand taels of silver!" Let's see who dares to break the contract! ”

Wen Xi snorted, laughing and couldn't get up, the master was too treacherous, so he kept this hand early, just waiting for these people to jump!

Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Wen Xi asked happily, "Then Master, aren't we going to sell potatoes to these people?" ”

Contrary to Wen Xi's expectations, Xia Mei shook her head and said, "No, we want to sell!" ”

"Huh?"

Xia Mei rolled her eyes, "There are so many potatoes, do you think our two or three stores will be sold out?!" ”

"Then you just ......"

Xia Mei sneered, beckoned Wen Xi to come over and whispered a few words, the smile on Wen Xi's little face became more and more obvious, and then nodded excitedly and said, "Don't worry, Master!" I know what to do! ”

After speaking, she hurriedly ran away, Xia Mei smiled helplessly, but her eyes were gentle and doting.

When the potatoes were harvested, they were extremely hidden, and Xia Mei once again summoned the beast of the Medicine King Valley. Ah no, it was the disciples, who invited them to come and pack all the potatoes overnight, and no one saw what the so-called medicinal herbs in the field looked like.

In this way, everyone will not know. Where the hell did this potato come from? There will be no worries, because there is only one in the world!

Speaking of which, this time it was thanks to the child Mu Qi. Originally, that Mu Yeqiu said that it was okay, and last time it was considered that all the favors were settled, and this time he would not let them come, but who knew that Mu Qi knew about it. You must know that in Mu Qi's heart, Xia Mei is just like her sister in the family. It was good for him, so he decided to help.

He didn't have much effect talking to the valley master, and it was likely to be intercepted by Mu Yeqiu halfway, so Mu Qi turned a corner. went to find Mu San, because Mu San's status in Tianfu Restaurant was also unusual, and Mu San was the most valued disciple of the old valley lord at the moment.

What Mu Qi didn't know was. Mu San is no longer what it used to be at this moment, and he has already recovered his memory. The memories of Aoyama Town were long ago memories for him, and he should never go back there.

Fortunately, Mu San remembered in his heart that Xia Mei and everyone treated him well, all kinds of care, and did not lose the medicine Wang Gu in the slightest, especially Liu Quan and Wen Hao, every time there was something delicious for him, he kept a copy of it, and this friendship was remembered in his heart.

I don't know when we will meet in the future, but if I can help them now, let's help them!

So with Mu San's departure, the old valley owner happily agreed to Xia Mei's request this time, and still sent those young men from last time to Qingshan Town quickly.

Because of the large land area, harvesting so many potatoes overnight is still a little difficult for them who have practiced martial arts for so many years, but Wu Song has never seen half of the struggle, which makes Mu Qi secretly frightened.

The potatoes were shaved out, put into sacks, and then slowly transported back when everyone was rested.

Xia Mei used the potatoes harvested back, fed this group of half-sized children fat a circle, and then reluctantly let them go, what a lovely group of young people, blushing and shy at every turn, young is really beautiful......

In order to hide people's eyes, the potatoes were transported into the medicinal herb shop in the open during the day, and returned to the Tianfu Restaurant at night.

Because the potatoes needed to be kept secret, Xia Mei didn't give them to others, but thinking about what the Su family next door had told her before, Xia Mei took the half-foot new cloth newly bought in the town and went to the Lu family next door.

As soon as the door was opened, Su Shi was overjoyed when he saw Xia Mei and said with a smile: "Ah! Tang Baoniang, come in! ”

Xia Mei chuckled and followed her into the door, "Sister Su, this is the new material I pulled in the town a few days ago, and there is half a foot left in the clothes, you can take it and make some purses or something!" ”

A hint of joy crossed Su Shi's eyes, this material is excellent at first glance, it just so happened that she was worried about making a belt for Ling Er recently, and now it is just right!

So Su didn't shirk much, just said a few polite words, and accepted it, because the two are also familiar with each other, and this kind of contact will be frequent, so there is nothing awkward.

Xia Mei saw that Su's mood seemed to be very good, and she couldn't guess the situation for a while, so she tentatively glanced at the room inside, and asked softly, "Sister Su, where is your Ling'er?" Not at home? ”

Su Shi put down half a foot of cloth, and when he heard Xia Mei ask, he turned around and pulled her to sit down, mixed tea with the two of them, and served snacks before sitting down and talking slowly.

"Sister Xia, I said that you came here today for that!"

Xia Mei laughed twice, touched her nose in embarrassment, and picked up the teacup to block her weak gaze.

Su Shi couldn't help but chuckle, "Look at you, if you want to ask, just say it, and beat around the bush, what kind of half-foot cloth do you take, I can tell you, I have to keep that cloth for Ling Er to wear, you can't take it back!" ”

Xia Mei smiled with a smile on her face, pretending to be courteous and serving Su Shi with a piece of pastry, but was slapped away by Su Shi with a smile.

Looking at the appearance, thinking about it, it should be a good result, otherwise the Su family would not have laughed so calmly, in this case, Xia Mei could be regarded as relieved.

So after laughing a few words, Xia Mei sat down, took a sip of warm tea and asked the purpose of this visit.

"Sister Su, don't hang my appetite, what's going on with your Ling'er and Xinghua?"

Su Shi glared at her, took a sip of tea slowly, took out a handkerchief and slowly wiped the water stains on her lips, looking at Xia Mei's anxious expression of scratching her heart and liver, she really laughed in her heart.

"That's it, I won't tease you, I'll tell you the truth, it's okay to say it, it's okay to say it doesn't work out."

Xia Mei was even more confused, "Good sister, what is the situation, tell me about it quickly!" I'm as anxious as a cat scratching! ”

"This is the case, when I came back from your house that day, I thought about it carefully, it is indeed such a reason, if my family Ling'er marries a young lady from a high-ranking official family in the future, although it is beneficial to Ling'er's official career, but there are many things involved, no one can say what will happen in the future."

"If you marry a woman like Xinghua, you can help Ling Er well at home, at this point of official career, I don't expect Ling Er to go far, it's too dangerous, my family is such a lone seedling, I can't afford to gamble!"

"There's also the girl Xinghua, I look like it's also good, with the mind of being a mother, this girl is really taught to find no mistakes."

"I also figured it out, apricot blossoms are apricot blossoms, and the matter of reincarnation is not something she can control, I can see this girl, so I naturally have no objection to this matter."

Speaking of this, Su Shi sighed with a faint sigh in his eyes, "In fact, in the final analysis, the most important thing is my family Ling'er, he likes it!" ”

Xia Mei secretly looked at the trace of depression and loneliness on Su's face, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Su Shi came back to his senses, glared at her again, and was about to hit her, but Xia Mei avoided with a smile.

"Tang Baoniang! Just laugh! When you marry a daughter-in-law in the future, I think it's strange if you don't cry! ”

Xia Mei shook her head proudly and smiled: "No, no, no, Sister Su, you are wrong, I won't cry in the future!" You must know that marrying a daughter-in-law is a good thing! In the future, someone will help you with housework, laundry and cooking, and you will have a white and chubby little grandson, what a good thing, how can I cry? ”

When she said this, the look on Su's face softened, she is indeed a gentle and graceful woman, but the more such a woman, the more important she is to her son and husband, and now that there is another woman to divide her son, she is naturally uncomfortable.

In fact, this is why the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law war has been an immortal topic for thousands of years, because it is an irresolvable contradiction.

However, "Sister Su, then why do you say that this matter has not yet been completed?" ”

Su Shi relieved himself, glanced at her, and then said, "Because Xinghua doesn't agree." ”

"Huh?!"

She heard her right?! Thousands of calculations, I didn't count this, what kind of situation is this?! (To be continued.) )
