Chapter Thirty-Eight: Beyond Measure
"That's right, by the way, the orchard is also improving now, and I'll come here to find you when it's better." Zhou Xinzhi pretended to be surprised and said, seeing that Aunt Wang's health was much better, she was much more relieved.
Because the post station was a little busy, Aunt Wang didn't stay for a while to help.
Zhou Xinzhi picked up a piece of pastry casually, and what was served today was osmanthus cake, soft and glutinous with sweetness, and the taste was also relatively good.
She enjoyed it tightly on one side, and the nasty voice on the other side sounded again, "I said sister, you can eat such a shoddy pastry?" "It seems that I don't like it, "In the past, my mother bought all the pastries of Xiangyun Pavilion, and the taste was called superior, tsk, maybe I forgot, my sister shouldn't have eaten it." ”
Zhou Xinzhi was a little speechless, does this woman want to suppress her whenever she has the opportunity?
"What are you proud of? The pastries in Xiangyun Pavilion are delicious, and I haven't seen you eat them every day, but I eat them once a month, and I'm embarrassed to grab a small piece from you. She was a little speechless, did Bilian do too much of the eldest lady's dream this week, and she believed it?
"Besides, if my mother is really rich and buys you pastries every month, what does it mean to ask for money when she yelled at me before? What, I gave you face? She said this without mercy, "You better be honest, I will keep a fig leaf for you, and if you do it again, I don't mind letting the whole city see your great deeds." ”
After saying that, he didn't care about her, and continued to taste his pastry.
Although this pastry is indeed not very high-end, and even a little grainy, but in comparison, maybe this is the most primitive taste, sweet but does not add anything else, and it is not too sweet, which makes her like it.
As for Zhou Bilian, after her summary, she only felt that this woman was masochistic, and she always wanted to brush up on her sense of existence.
After eating the pastries on the plate, Gu Zhen also ran over after finishing her work, "Mrs. Du is really sorry, the people from the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau were busy walking darts, and they waited for them to finish eating before coming over." ”
"Don't get in the way, it's not easy for you to run such a big post station, my business is just a trivial matter." Zhou Xinzhi also understands, after all, there are only four people in this station, two of them are busy in the back kitchen, and Aunt Wang's body in front can't stand the toss, and only Gu Zhen can be busy.
"But I didn't expect that you moved so fast, and you brought Aunt Wang in a few days." Zhou Xinzhi hooked the corners of her lips, this Gu Zhen is really a kind-hearted person.
"What Mrs. Du said, thanks to your reminder that day, I later went to the West Village to look for Aunt Wang, but I saw that the Liu family beat and scolded the eldest lady, and her son shrank aside and didn't dare to start, which is really infuriating." Gu Zhen thought of this and clenched her fists.
It's not that the Liu family doesn't treat the old man well, it's that the useless son of Aunt Wang doesn't know how to protect himself.
Zhou Xinzhi didn't speak for a long time, and she really didn't know what to say.
It's just that after going back and forth, Wei Qingsui probably understood the cause and effect, and his gaze at Zhou Xinzhi was a little more complicated.
"This is the pickle for these two days, I brought it to you, remember to store it in a cool place, I will come back in two days." Zhou Xinzhi took out the two jars of pickles, Gu Zhen didn't hesitate, and the four taels of silver were handed over to her.
This made Zhou Bilian's eyes widen, but some side dishes were exchanged for so much silver?
"This little brother, you are really kind, to be honest, my sister has never even entered the stove room, you buy a jar of pickles for two taels of silver, is it a little inappropriate, my sister is not sensible, I am really a little worried."
Zhou Bilian took out a handkerchief to cover her lips, her frowning and pitiful appearance really could afford the word beauty, which also made people feel pity.
But what did she say?
"This young lady is ......," Gu Zhen asked with some displeasure.
"Don't bother, it's just an idiot." Zhou Xinzhi snorted coldly, she was wrong, she actually thought that Zhou Bilian would learn to be a little better.
"This young lady still doesn't talk nonsense, Gu thinks that these two taels of silver are too little, Mrs. Du's side dishes are refreshing and appetizing, but it's a pity that this amount can't be made too big, many guests come here, and they may not be able to eat the silver, how can the girl become ignorant?"
Gu Zhen saw that no one else could slander Zhou Xinzhi, if it weren't for these small dishes appetizing, who would have the leisure to eat and drink in this post station on this hot day?
"I don't know." Wei Qingsui took a sip of tea and said lightly, which can be regarded as giving Zhou Bilian a step down.
Everyone didn't whirl around in this matter, Zhou Bilian twisted her handkerchief and stood aside, complaining more deeply about Zhou Xinzhi in her heart, her sister didn't mean to help her speak at all just now!
After chatting for a while, Zhou Xinzhi got up and left, Gu Zhen walked to the front desk and handed over the two bags of things that had been prepared a long time ago to Zhou Xinzhi.
"Mrs. Du doesn't need to shirk, my business is getting better thanks to you, these are also my intentions, you can keep it, one package of sauce meat and one bag of pastries are all inherited crafts of our family, you go back and taste it."
Zhou Bilian listened to Gu Zhen's words, and Zhou Xinzhi said that he ran such a big post station by himself, so her mind was even more alive, and as soon as her head twitched, she somehow stepped forward and asked, "Gu Gongzi has a favorite girl?" ”
“……”
The atmosphere was embarrassing for a while, and Zhou Xinzhi didn't expect this woman to make such a fuss, so she lost her face, and now when she heard that someone was the shopkeeper of this shop, she thought about it?
"It's okay, you don't have to be embarrassed, she is also curious, what kind of girl does a person like Gu Shopkeeper like? There are a lot of good girls in our village. ”
Zhou Xinzhi was embarrassed, but she could only suppress the disgusting past.
"Ahem, Gu has had a marriage contract since he was a child, and after the other party agrees, he is ready to go back to his hometown to marry, and Miss Lao is worried about it."
This matter was turned over like this, and when she left the shop, Zhou Xinzhi's strong smile collapsed instantly.
"Zhou Bilian, let me tell you again, you don't want face, I still want it, are you ashamed of yourself? If you see a good-looking person with a good family background, you have to stick it up, right? If you come to the city and have something to do, just follow it, stop talking nonsense, if you come to find a man, hurry up, Mr. Wei and I can't afford to lose this person. ”
Zhou Xinzhi's words were so clear that Wei Qing blushed when he heard it, Rao is a big man didn't say such things directly, this Mrs. Du was seriously ill, and when she woke up, it was really different from before.
"Ahem, Miss Zhou, this capital is crowded, it is better to pay more attention to your words and deeds, otherwise you will make people see the joke." Wei Qingsui still kindly reminded him, not to mention how Bilian was this week, if others heard Zhou Xinzhi's words, it would be easier to fall into the mouth.
Zhou Xinzhi didn't pay attention to her anymore, turned around and continued to walk towards the city, even if Zhou Bilian behind her was reluctant, she could only follow, but it was four taels of silver! Just rely on two jars of pickles to get it?
She couldn't be clearer about the craftsmanship of the cheap hoof, this silver is so easy to earn, she can ask her mother to mix it, maybe this shopkeeper prefers her mother's craftsmanship!
She thought very well here, and she curled the corners of her lips and stepped forward to follow the two in front of her.
The smile of the beauty is already eye-catching, let alone such a beauty walking on the street, for a while, Zhou Xinzhi and the others became the focus, and the eyes of most of the men on the street were glued.
Zhou Xinzhi didn't mind, she didn't look at her in the first place, what was so uncomfortable.
Under the gaze of these people, they arrived outside the gate of Yuxinfang.
There was no one in this courtyard, Zhou Xinzhi was stunned in her heart, could it be that the method she said before was useless?
She chuckled in her heart and strode into the house, these twenty taels couldn't fly away!
"Why is Mrs. Du free today?" Shopkeeper Lin rubbed his somewhat sore neck, just after finishing his work, as soon as there were many people, his body and bones began to be unbearable, "What Mrs. Du said before......
As soon as he opened his mouth, he looked at Zhou Xinzhi with a sad face, "Needless to say, Shopkeeper Lin, I know that I can't do anything myself, this method is useless at all!" ”
Zhou Xinzhi was a little frustrated, she thought that this ancient people also ate the method of hunger marketing, but who knew that there was not a single guest in this house.
Seeing that Zhou Xinzhi was deflated, Zhou Bilian just wanted to say a few sarcastic words, but saw Wei Qing on the side staring at her coldly, "It's not embarrassing enough?" If Miss Zhou wants to go back by herself, just ask. ”
Along the way, Zhou Bilian didn't stop chattering, let alone Zhou Xinzhi, even Wei Qingsui, who has always been good-tempered, couldn't stand it anymore.
Sure enough, Zhou Bilian is honest now, it seems to be peaceful in this city, but there are still all kinds of dangers outside the city, she is a woman, and then people are worried, if she suffers some skin injuries, it is nothing, but if it is......
She didn't dare to think about it anymore, and stood aside quietly with a pale face.
"What Mrs. Du said, where is it not easy to use, it is simply too easy to use!" Shopkeeper Lin said with a smile in his eyes, "I, according to the method you taught me, it really attracted a lot of ladies to buy it, tsk, if it weren't for your method, it is estimated that my old bones would be finished." ”
Although he complained, he was still very happy in his heart, but because there were outsiders, the shopkeeper Lin didn't say what the specific method was, but Zhou Xinzhi knew.
"It scared me to death, I thought it didn't work." Zhou Xinzhi patted her chest, "Even if the method is useful, I'm afraid that if we toss for a long time, we will just be happy in the end." ”
She also relaxed now, and since hunger marketing is indeed useful, she can return to normal.
"Mrs. Du is here today ......" Shopkeeper Lin looked like he was going into the city to buy something, and asked casually.
