After the delivery, there will be nothing to do with the Du father and son.

Rao is Du Qi is heartless and heartless, and his mood in the face of Gui Chongyang at this moment is also complicated, and he is no longer blindly close and friendly before.

If it weren't for the unavoidable situation, who would sell the land?

The previous "Zhao Ye" was just a housekeeper, who could make the county obedient, and one of the two people in front of him was the county magistrate of Sanhe, and the other didn't know what his identity was.

His family was forced to sell his land, if he sold it to the two people in front of him, it was because of power, Du Qi wouldn't think about anything, but he sold it to the Gui family?

Du Qi only felt strange in his heart, and looked at Du Li with some worry.

Before, Du Li was calculating the Gui family, but Du Qi was against it, but it was useless; If the Gui family holds a grudge and takes revenge on the Du family, Du Qi will naturally be even more powerless to stop it.

Before, because of his reading and reasoning, coupled with Gui Chongyang's contract, Du Qi didn't want his father to target the Gui family because of the past. But when the two families really competed against each other, Du Qi naturally didn't want his father to be at a disadvantage.

In this world, how many people can really "help but not help relatives"?

Du Li was looking at Zhong Xiaoyi, and then at Gui Chongyang.

The two didn't seem to shy away from anything, nor did they pretend to be estranged and didn't know each other.

Gui Chongyang called Zhong Xiaoyan "Uncle Zhong", and Zhong Xiaoyan also directly called "Chongyang".

Tensor was curious, and asked Gui Chongyang, "You knew each other before?" ”

Gui Chongyang said: "Uncle Zhong and my fifth uncle are from the same family, and I came back to settle down and buy land thanks to Uncle Zhong's help. ”

Zhang Liang and Xu Boping both looked at Zhong Xiaoyi, and Zhang Liang said thoughtfully: "Your surname is Zhong, what is the relationship between you and Zhong Ao Zhong?" ”

Zhong O, a local gentry, is one of the local elders.

Zhong Xiaoyan hurriedly bowed and said, "The adult mentioned the elder, it is the villain's grandfather. ”

Zhang Liang nodded and said, "The matter of Chongyang has bothered you." He has always been a thin-skinned person, and he doesn't like to take the initiative to beg people, can you take care of him or be a caretaker or two in the future, don't let the blind-eyed bully come to him! ”

Gui Chongyang was talking on the side, but Zhong Xiaoyan solemnly agreed.

With the county lord covered, who can still bully Gui Chongyang? These words are just a knock on the side of Du Lizheng.

Du Li was still smiling like Maitreya, as if he really felt that tensor's words had nothing to do with him. Du Qi followed behind Du Li, but he was very uncomfortable, and whispered: "Dad, let's go back!" ”

There was nothing to do with the Du family, so Du Lizheng greeted Zhang Liang and took his son out.

Zhong Xiaoyan also went back to get busy with interest, and Zhang Liang beckoned the two into the backyard.

Xu Boping snorted lightly, looked at Zhang Liang and said, "On the Zhao family's side, you should be more restrained, if they don't go on like this, it will also ruin your future." ”

Zhang Liang smiled bitterly: "I warned me again and again, who would think that someone would die!" Cousin, don't worry, don't take it as an example! ”

Xu Boping waved his hand and said, "You tell your younger brothers and sisters, don't be impatient, teach well." I won't go with Chongyang, go out for a walk. ”

Tensor has to stay any longer, Xu Boping glanced at Gui Chongyang and gave Tensor a look in private.

Zhang Liang pursed his lips and personally sent the two to the door.

The long-term entourage who followed Xu Boping and Zhang Liang to Mujia Village before has always been within a zhang of Xu Boping.

When Xu Boping came out with Gui Chongyang, the long follower automatically followed.

Gui Chongyang didn't pay attention to the long follower, but said knowingly: "Barilla is ahead, although it is not a big restaurant, it is better to be clean and convenient, senior brother follow me to have a look?" ”

I had lunch at the Gui family just now, but I was interrupted by the affairs of the Du family later, and everyone came out after the news, and they didn't eat enough, but now they are really hungry.

Xu Boping nodded and said, "Go and see, it's your industry in the end." ”

It's not so much about looking at the store as it is looking at the people.

Perhaps accustomed to seeing people's calculations, Xu Boping was wary of these cousins of the Gui family, worried that they would bully Gui Chongyang when he was young and had just arrived.

Gui Chongyang saw it in his eyes and was not unhappy. If you don't really care about him, you won't worry about him.

The dock street where Barilla is located is not far from the county office, and the group walked around, but it took a quarter of an hour to arrive at a Barilla food shop.

Gui Chongyang has been here twice, and the lobby guy is clever, and he already remembers that this is the nephew of the owner and the brother of the shopkeeper, so he immediately stepped forward to greet him: "The third brother is here!" ”

Gui Chongyang nodded and said, "Is the shopkeeper coming over today?" ”

The guy said: "The shopkeeper is still here at noon, and I went to the main store in the afternoon, but Master Zhou is here." ”

This "Master Zhou" is naturally not Guiqiu's master, but the guys' name for "Zhou Lilac".

The engagement of Gui Qiu and Zhou Dingxiang is already well known, but they have not yet married, otherwise they would be called "inner shopkeeper" or "shopkeeper lady".

Gui Chongyang said: "I'll go to the second floor, you send someone to ask the shopkeeper, saying that there is a guest at home." ”

The man answered, and immediately went to find someone to pass the word.

Gui Chongyang took Xu Boping to the second floor, and since he entered the "Barilla", Xu Boping paid attention, and saw that the diners in the lobby were sitting eighty percent, and he was also unaware.

It's not the beginning of the day (3 o'clock in the afternoon), and it's already past the meal, but there are still so many customers, which shows that the business is booming.

Originally, Xu Boping thought it was just an ordinary food shop, but the door was not big from the outside, it was indeed not big, but it was different from the inside. But if it is a prosperous shop, there is more money in and out, will Gui Chongyang's cousin have other thoughts? After all, he is in business.

When he arrived on the second floor and entered the private room, Gui Chongyang asked Xu Boping about his taste, and Xu Boping said: "The guest is as good as the host!" ”

The guy brought the tea up, Xu Boping took a bite, tasted it carefully, and looked at the teacup, there was no tea in it, and he couldn't help but wonder.

At this time, Gui Chongyang had already ordered a few meals casually, and the guy repeated it to confirm before closing the door and going out.

Xu Boping held the teacup and said curiously: "What kind of tea is this?" Why is there no tea fragrance, only rice fragrance? ”

Gui Chongyang said with a smile: "This is barley tea, which is fried and soaked in water to help digestion and nourish the stomach." This is free tea, and everyone is just moisturizing their mouths.

Xu Boping said: "It's really a good idea, isn't it another whimsy of Mr. before his death?" ”

Gui Chongyang nodded, and was honored: "When I was young and couldn't eat tea, my father asked someone to make barley tea to eat with me." Before the opening of the shop, the second brother Qiu wanted to contact the tea house to order some loose tea, so I remembered this and tried it. I used this year's new wheat, but fortunately, everyone likes it. ”

Xu Boping showed a look of remembrance and said, "In the end, Mr., it's a good idea to pinch it casually." Is this a secret? ”

Gui Chongyang nodded and said, "I originally thought it was casual, but Second Brother Qiu said that this recipe could be kept secret for a while, so he asked someone to make tea bags from barley rice paper." But in the end, it was easy to investigate, and after discussing with me, Second Brother Qiu sold Fang Zi to two tea houses in the town for 80 taels of silver. ”

Gui Qiu is like a natural businessman, he can think of anything to buy and sell, which Gui Chongyang also admires very much.

Xu Boping said regretfully: "It's cheap, if it's sold cheaply, if it's under the banner of health preservation, it can't be sold higher." ”

Gui Chongyang smiled and did not refute Xu Boping's words, but he didn't think so.

If it is in the rich land of Nanjing, Xu Boping's suggestion is still feasible; But this is Sanhe County, Tongzhou, even if it is only a few dozen miles away from Beijing and is located in the canal wharf, it is only a small county seat.

As the two were talking, they heard a knock on the box door.

Gui Chongyang got up to open the door, Zhou Dingxiang stood at the door, holding a plate of cakes in his hand, his eyes did not look in, and said, "Chongyang, you brought a guest?" A few days ago, I got a new recipe, tartary buckwheat cake, the food on the south side, can you taste it? ”

Gui Chongyang said: "It's a senior brother who I have known since the south came to visit me, does Sister Zhou want to come in and talk?" ”

Zhou Dingxiang had heard that it was a male guest, and said busily: "There is still work in the kitchen, I will come to see you, and when your second brother arrives, let him talk to the guest." With that, he waved his hand and went downstairs.

Gui Chongyang took the buckwheat cake and returned to the box.

In the foot-long white porcelain plate are six pieces of pale green pastry cut into four squares.

The pastries are also warm and have the natural aroma of grain.

"That's your future cousin-in-law? It's a cool temperament to listen to. After Xu Boping finished speaking, he didn't need to be asked, he directly pinched a piece and took a bite, and commented: "The entrance is soft, the taste is sweet, the icing is added but it is not greasy, it is refreshing, this knife is seasoned, and it is about to catch up with the dim sum in the imperial dining room." ”

Gui Chongyang also took a piece and ate it one bite at a time, but he was thinking about Senior Brother Xu's words in his heart.

If the senior brother really came from the Xu family, it would not only be a prince's family, but also a relative of the emperor, and it would be cheap to enter and leave the palace, and it would be common to eat snacks in the imperial dining room.

*

Outside the box.

Gui Qiu stood at the door, and when he heard this sentence, he couldn't help but shake his head.

I have heard that the southerners are treacherous, and I don't know who this kid is, and he brags to the sky, which is really ridiculous.
