Mai girl looked out, and immediately surrounded a few younger men, and said to her as if flatteringly: "Miss Xiao Sui'er, that Xiao Langjun came to buy Hu cakes, and you Aya somehow didn't sell them to him, and the two of them quarreled!" ”

Several other men next to him also echoed.

The Maiden looked at Wei Renshi, and then at the old man.

The old man explained: "I came back to tell you a few days ago, saying that our Hu Cake lacks taste, and also said that if I also open a Hu Cake Shop to sell Hu Cake, I can crush our Huangkou Xiaoer." That's him! ”

After hearing this, the Mai girl laughed: "Aye, why is this, just a young man, I think it's just boasting, and I don't really come to crush us, and I don't even sell cakes to others." ”

While speaking, she asked Wei Renshi before going to the case: "Xiao Langjun, don't be annoyed, the slave family has made amends for Xiao Langjun for Aya." How many does Xiao Langjun want? ”

Wei Renshi saw that this woman had a good attitude, and was about to speak, but the old man next to him did not give up, and came over to stop him: "Don't sell!" Just now he said that he didn't talk big that day, but you can tell me what kind of flavor my cake is missing? I, Wang Laohan, have been selling Hu cakes all my life, and I dare not boast elsewhere, but in Fuchang, I dare to say that I don't do better, how can you slander me? ”

Wang Laohan has sold Hu cakes all his life, and this Hu cake is his greatest achievement. It seems that he has taken this cake as his own effort. Hearing Wei Renshi say that his Hu Biscuit was not good enough, he felt as if he had insulted himself, and he was unrelenting.

Wei Renshi was in a bad mood, and he didn't want to worry about this very cautious old man, and was about to turn around and leave, but when he saw the packets of medicinal materials he was carrying, he suddenly had a plan in his heart.

Immediately, he raised his head again and said to the old man: "You old man, I just said a word about your lack of nonsense, so you are so careful and unforgiving!" Good! Then I really put down my words, your bread is indeed deficient, and the deficiency is not in the bread but in the meat. The bread is well cooked, but the meat inside is not. If you don't believe me, and wait for me to prepare for a few days, let's make an appointment for a face-to-face competition! Do you dare?! ”

This made everyone around her startled, and the woman in sackcloth was about to refuse immediately, but she was one step slower than her Aye, and she Aya replied first: "Why don't you dare!" ”

"Wei Langjun? What happened? At this time, a voice came from behind, and a person came out with the voice, it was Zheng Lizheng, who came over and asked, "But someone bullied you?" ”

There was also a man beside him, who was tall and very burly.

"It's okay, it's just that I have to make a bet with this old man who sells cakes." Wei Renshi said, after speaking, he turned to the old man Wang and said, "Let's wait for me to go back and prepare, half a month later, I will come here, let's do it face to face, let people taste it, and see whose one is better." Do you dare? ”

"Hmph, the old man is afraid that you will run away!" Wang Laohan scoffed.

"What about winning or losing?" Wei Renshi asked again.

The old man said: "You are all here to give a testimony, today it was this yellow-mouthed boy who proposed to compete with the old man, but it was not the old man who bullied him. Half a month is half a month, and if you lose, you must admit your mistake and apologize to the old man in front of everyone. It's just—what if you don't come in half a month? ”

"How can a husband not be trustworthy? I am a scholar, if I don't believe a word, how can I still read the books of sages and sages and cultivate the words of a hundred schools?! I, Changgu Wei Renshi, will leave my name today, and I will come in half a month. Wei Renshi replied.

"Good! I'm sure I'll try it in half a month! The people around him didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and they all coaxed when they heard what Wei Renshi said.

Zheng Lizheng had just arrived here, and he didn't know the cause and effect, so he heard Wei Renshi make a gambling contract and hurried to pull him.

"Uncle Zheng doesn't have to worry." Wei Renshi smiled: "Let's go!" ”

The three of them left there and changed places to eat. Along the way, Wei Renshi told Zheng Lizheng the ins and outs, and when he arrived at the place to sit down and wait for dinner, Zheng Lizheng asked: "If you don't sell it, you won't sell it, and you won't be a seller of Hu cakes." Why did Wei Langjun still compete with him? Since I came back, Wang Laohan has been buying Hu cakes, and now for decades, the Hu cakes he makes are indeed a must-have in Fuchang. ”

The implication is that Wei Renshi will not be able to compare with Wang Laohan.

Wei Renshi said with a smile: "Without him, his family's Hu cake business is very good, and it is widely known in Fuchang." I'm about to do something related to this food, and I just take this opportunity to let people know. ”

"Food-related business?" Zheng Lizheng was taken aback.

However, Wei Renshi didn't say more, just changed the topic, turned his head and asked, "Uncle Zheng, this uncle is ......?"

"Oh, this is Brother Tian Dali, the eldest son-in-law of the sixth uncle in the village, who is now working as an errand in the county office." Zheng Lizheng introduced: "Didn't I go to tell the county lord about plowing and watering today, and I happened to bump into it when I came out, so I made an appointment to have dinner together." Brother Dali, this is Wei Renshi and Wei Langjun of our Changgu. Before, a certain person told the county that it was Wei Langjun who made a new plough and watering. ”

"I've seen Uncle Tian." Wei Renshi raised his hand and greeted.

"It's still a teenager?!" Tian Dali looked at Wei Renshi in surprise and said, "Wei Langjun improves farm tools, this is a great skill!" ”

"Uncle Tian praised it falsely." Wei Renshi said with a smile.

Zheng Lizheng was concerned about Fang Cai's affairs, and asked again: "Wei Langjun really wants to compare Hu Cake with Wang Laohan?" ”

Wei Renshi nodded and said, "Yes, but when it comes to pancakes, I'm really not as good as him." But if it comes to other things, I'm really not afraid of him. Uncle Zheng, who is the best at pancakes in our village? I'll have to ask for help. ”

Zheng Lizheng laughed and said, "Isn't this a coincidence!" ”

Tian Dali also smiled: "Don't say anything else about my Hun family, I have a good hand of cakes, I can help Wei Langjun." ”

"Thank you Uncle Tian so much." Wei Renshi was overjoyed, raised his hand to thank him, and said: "Uncle Zheng will also come with me when the time comes, usually there is nothing, and my aunt is very strict, so I don't have a chance to show my hand." When the time comes, I will show my hand and teach Uncle Zheng and Uncle Tian what is considered a delicious meatloaf. ”

"Will Wei Langjun still be able to cook a good meal?!" Zheng Lizheng was taken aback at first, then laughed again, and said, "What else does Wei Langjun have to prepare?" Let's talk about it, maybe you can help Zhang Luo a little bit. ”

"There's one thing that's so hard to find that it's impossible to get right now. But the rest...... I need to find a blacksmith to make something, and nothing else is going on for now. Wei Renshi thought for a moment and replied.

Zheng Lizheng nodded and said, "The blacksmith is good to say, when he made the waterwheel, the blacksmith was from Changgu, just call it back." If you need money, just say it. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Zheng!" Wei Renshi said.
