"And what about your parents' names?" This time it was Xu Shengkang who asked, with an urgent look on his face.
"As a child, I shouldn't have said the name of my parents, but since Mrs. Xu asked, I had to say, father Tan Wenming, mother He Jinlian." Seven said the names of his parents in his previous life.
She noticed that Xu Shengkang had a look of disappointment on his face.
Some premonitions in my heart are getting stronger and stronger.
But Mrs. Xu asked with some disbelief, "Little girl, you didn't lie to the old man, your parents really called this name?" ”
Qiduo shook his head solemnly, "How dare I lie to Old Lady Xu, your parents' names will never be wrong." ”
Old Lady Xu stared at Qiduo for a long time.
Just when Qiduo couldn't resist his excessively sharp eyes, Old Lady Xu finally retracted his gaze and said lightly, "You go out first to get busy." ”
Qiduo was relieved and hurriedly got up to say goodbye.
Xu Youxuan wanted to go out with him, but was kept by Mrs. Xu.
"Grandpa, what's the matter?" Xu Youxuan asked.
"Youxuan, I want you to promise grandpa one thing." Mrs. Xu said.
The tone was much softer, and the expression on his face softened, changing from a majestic old man to a kind elder.
"What's the matter, grandpa, just tell me." Xu Youxuan responded very obediently.
Old lady Xu's eyes sank slightly, and she said, "I want you to end your cooperation with that little girl just now." ”
"What?" Xu Youxuan was stunned. "Grandpa. You...... What are you doing here? ”
Let him end the cooperation with Qiduo. What about the food city?
Besides, the cooperation with Qiduo was signed in black and white, and now he regrets it, it is a breach of contract, and the compensation for silver is a small matter, he really has no face to say these words to Qiduo.
He doesn't want to be such a villain who doesn't believe in his words.
Xu Shengkang was also very surprised, he didn't expect his father to have such an idea.
"It's not for anything!" Old Lady Xu's tone was a little domineering.
Xu Youxuan cast a look of help to his father Xu Shengkang.
But Xu Shengkang was helpless.
"Grandpa...... Please forgive my grandson for not listening to you, my cooperation with Xiao Qi cannot be stopped. Xu Youxuan gritted his teeth. He replied very resolutely.
I was used to calling Qiduo Xiaoqi, and I didn't change my mouth for a while.
"Xuan'er!" Xu Shengkang glared at his son.
But Xu Youxuan looked at Old Lady Xu with firm eyes, and he was not ready to give up.
"Presumptuous, Youxuan, why don't you even dare to listen to me now, eh?" Old lady Xu patted the table and said with some annoyance, his face sank.
Seeing that his grandfather was angry, Xu Youxuan was also a little worried in his heart.
Think about your original ideals, and now the food city has opened. One step closer to the ideal, I really don't want to let go.
He said. "Grandpa, it's not that your grandson doesn't listen to you, it's just that I don't understand why you suddenly didn't let you cooperate with Xiao Qi, grandpa.
The development of the food city is inseparable from the help of Xiao Qi, with Xiao Qi, Sun Er is very confident that the food city will become bigger and stronger, so that it can become a restaurant that ordinary people can afford to eat, and dignitaries and nobles also love to eat. ”
After hearing his words, Mrs. Xu was even more angry, "Bastard, what kind of nonsense are you talking about, a dignified seven-foot man, does it have to rely on a stinky girl to open a small food city?" If this word comes out, don't you feel ashamed, my old face still feels panicked. ”
Seeing this, Xu Shengkang hurriedly glanced at Xu Youxuan, "Xuan'er, don't keep talking about it and make grandpa angry." ”
But Xu Youxuan's stubborn temper also came up, he used to listen to the arrangements of the elders in everything, and now he has the opportunity to go it alone, seeing that the future is bright, but he didn't expect the elders to stop him again.
If Old Madam Xu could come up with a reason to convince him, it would be fine, but such a rigid direct order made him unacceptable.
Today, he is not a three-year-old child, and he has his own views and opinions on everything.
He argued, "Grandpa, you once said before that the operation and management of the food city will be handled by your grandson, but your old man doesn't ask, let me be in charge, why do you have to stop cooperating with Xiao Qi now."
Let me tell you, although Xiao Qi is a girl, but she is not only superb in cooking, but many of her insights are novel and unique, which her grandson has never heard of.
I remember that grandpa taught your grandchildren since childhood, to be humble everywhere in life and work, not to be arrogant, for those who are capable, we don't care about their identity.
It's because I remember your teachings grandpa, now I reuse Xiao Qi, rely on Xiao Qi, my grandson doesn't feel ashamed, Xiao Qi has the ability and ability, better than me, I should learn from her, even if she is much younger than me, even if she is a girl, it doesn't matter, who makes her have the ability.
Grandpa, father, do you think that's the truth? ”
Xu Shengkang secretly stroked his forehead and kept glancing at his son, hoping that he would stop.
Among these children and grandchildren in the family, no one dares to speak to the old lady like this.
My son was the first to pick a tiger's beard.
No, it's the second one.
The first beard picker has already learned a lesson, but he doesn't want his son to follow in the footsteps again.
But Xu Weixuan didn't pay attention to his father's flying eyes at all, and said what he thought in his heart.
"Dad, it's my son who is unfilial and failed to teach Xuan'er well, so that Xuan'er can contradict your old man like this, if you want to punish your son, punish your son." Xu Shengkang hurriedly got up and left his seat, and whispered to Mrs. Xu to be careful.
Old lady Xu stared at Xu Youxuan closely, and then looked at Xu Shengkang after a while.
Just as Xu Youxuan was waiting for the storm to come, Old Lady Xu suddenly smiled.
"Boss, you're not as bold as Xuan'er." Old lady Xu said to her son.
Xu Shengkang looked at his father in surprise.
Why didn't my father get angry?
Xu Youxuan was also a little strange, he was-for-tat with his grandfather, and it stands to reason that his grandfather should have scolded him angrily. He even laughed.
Old lady Xu looked at Xu Youxuan again. "Youxuan. You've really grown up, and you know how to tell me what I taught you, yes, yes! ”
He said yes, but there was no smile on his face.
Xu Youxuan and Xu Shengkang both had chills.
"Grandpa, my grandson is just talking about things, and he has no disrespect for you." Xu Youxuan stubbornly said, anyway, the matter has come to this. There is no way back, just give it a go.
"Hey, okay, you can go down and get busy first." Old lady Xu waved her hand at Xu Youxuan.
"That little seven ......" Xu Youxuan was overjoyed in his heart, but he didn't show pride on his face.
"You go first, we'll talk about that later." Old lady Xu refused to let go.
"Yes, thank you grandpa." Seeing this, Xu Youxuan had to leave first.
It was an accident that he was able to escape his grandfather's reprimand today.
After Xu Youxuan left, Xu Shengkang apologized to Mrs. Xu again. said that when he turned back, he should teach his son a good lesson.
Old lady Xu waved her hand at Xu Shengkang, "Okay." Sit down and talk. ”
"Yes." Xu Shengkang respectfully agreed, returned to his previous seat and sat down.
"Dad, actually, I don't understand, why don't you let Xuan'er and Qiduo continue to cooperate?
I thought that girl was good, and when I chatted with her, I found that she had a flexible mind, a quick response, and indeed extraordinary knowledge. Even if her skills are passed on to the god-like elders in her family, it also shows that she is very smart and can learn the skills of her elders proficiently. Xu Shengkang asked the doubts in his heart.
In front of Xu Youxuan, he didn't want to ask directly.
In front of his son, of course he has to face Lao Tzu, this is to set an example for his son.
Old Lady Xu's face darkened, and there was a red flame jumping in her sharp eyes.
He snorted coldly and said, "Boss, don't you notice that her eyebrows and eyes look a little like that person?" ”
"Huh? But...... But her parents weren't. Also, I just took a serious look at it, and I don't think there are many similarities, besides, it's not strange that people are similar. Xu Shengkang knew who the man his father was talking about, but he had a different opinion.
"But I've met her once, and I remember her very well what she looks like, and I can't be wrong." Mrs. Xu replied with great certainty.
"Father, have you go......" Xu Shengkang asked with surprise and joy.
"You think too much, I saw her in the pawnshop that day." Old Lady Xu's voice was lower.
Xu Shengkang nodded, looked at his father's face, and said cautiously, "Father, all these years have passed, and the children are all older, why do you want to be angry with her again."
Look at Qiduo, this child, she has such a creation at a young age, and she is not taught by her parents......"
"Whoa," the screech of porcelain shattering interrupted his words.
Startled, he looked at his father.
It turned out that Mrs. Xu smashed her favorite blue and white porcelain cup.
"Father......" Xu Shengkang's voice trembled a little.
"Stop, don't mention that brute in front of me." Old lady Xu was furious.
Xu Shengkang hung his head and sighed in his heart.
Alas, I didn't expect that more than ten years have passed, and the resentment in my father's heart has not disappeared.
However, he knew that this was not all due to Mrs. Xu, who played a great role in this.
Thinking of this, his gentle eyes also became cold.
The room was filled with gunsmoke, and the atmosphere was so dreary that it was impossible to breathe.
In the front kitchen, several stoves are turned on, and there are cooks stir-frying snails, and the attractive aroma attracts customers to stop.
There are even more applause.
The applause is directed at the seven flowers.
She's performing a flying pie show.
I saw that the white flour cake that was originally the size of the palm of her hand flew up and down in the air through her dexterous hand, which was dazzling.
The dough in his hand became bigger and thinner, almost transparent.
The customers who watched the excitement widened their eyes, covered their mouths and held their breath, not daring to shout, for fear that the loud voice would break the dough cake in Qiduo's hand.
Seven flatbreads are put down, sprinkled with chopped green onions, slightly oiled, thin as cicada wings, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the fragrant flying cakes are freshly baked.
"Little brother, you are really a god, you can fly such a thin cake, God." Someone gave a thumbs up to Qiduo.
Qiduo pursed her lips and smiled happily, fortunately, she didn't embarrass herself today.
She cut the flying cakes into pieces and put them on a plate, and without greeting them, the onlookers rushed to buy them, wanting to taste what the cakes made with this 'magic skill' tasted like.
Qiduo was full of joy, not noticing that Wen Xiuyi was mixed in the middle of the crowd.
It's just that he looked at her very strangely. (To be continued......)
