Chapter 24: Intentions
Now it's okay, everything is revealed, it turns out that this person is really hired by someone else to deliberately find fault.
Shopkeeper Xu's face suddenly became ugly, he immediately ordered the little servant to tie up these people and send them directly to the government, he has been making trouble here for so long, how much silver he has lost, even if he sells them, he can't afford it!
"Spare your life! We don't dare anymore!"
These people wailed outside the door, but Chu Xinyun felt that they deserved it.
Although the hall was a little chaotic, there was still a box upstairs, and after the shopkeeper Xu arranged Young Master Ma, he came down to settle the money for Chu Xinyun.
"Shopkeeper Xu, do you know who is targeting you here?"
Shopkeeper Xu's expression was very serious: "I got the news yesterday that Shopkeeper Cai came out of prison, and it was Shopkeeper Chen of Jinbaozhai who saved him." ”
"You have to be careful, I suspect that the reason why Shopkeeper Chen saved Shopkeeper Cai was because of that sugar recipe."
"You mean, there's a good chance that Shopkeeper Chen will target me?" Chu Xinyun frowned.
Shopkeeper Xu shook his head: "It's not that it may be targeted, it will be, so I reminded you to be careful, if you encounter something that can't be solved, you can come to me." ”
Chu Xinyun said gratefully: "Thank you, shopkeeper Xu." ”
As long as the relationship between them is a little scrutinized, you can come to a conclusion, your own life experience is very simple, but it is not simple that the sugar cube was first passed on from herself, and it is not difficult to infer why the shopkeeper Chen is eyeing him.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh, she was so careless, she was completely causing trouble for herself.
"Shopkeeper, the guest is awake."
It was already half an hour after Li Damin woke up, and Dr. Wang helped him check his pulse and said that as long as he had a good rest, it would be fine.
"What's wrong with me?" Li Damin felt that his eyes were still in a trance, and his friends who came with him hurriedly stepped forward to ask him how he felt.
"It's just that some of it is nauseous, but the rest is fine." Seeing that he can communicate with friends normally, the people are relieved.
At this time, Shopkeeper Xu and Chu Xinyun walked in, and he apologized to Li Damin apologetically: "This guest is really embarrassed, something happened to our store today that injured you, in order to express my apologies, today's banquet is free, and I will compensate you for twenty taels of silver here, and I hope that the guest Haihan." ”
He also listened to what happened downstairs to his friends, anyway, he had nothing to do, and he was embarrassed to embarrass others for the sake of being so sincere.
"I don't have anything to do, so I don't need to break the bank's expenses, but suddenly I haven't eaten enough at noon....."
Shopkeeper Xu smiled with a smile: "If the guests don't mind, there is a private room upstairs, so I will let the kitchen cook a table of dishes, which is still free." ”
"This dare is good, then it will be troublesome to the shopkeeper!"
In order to apologize, the shopkeeper Xu also ordered the back kitchen to make a few more sweet potato dishes, and many new products had not even been tasted by the guests outside.
Li Damin likes the taste of sweet potatoes very much, especially the soft and rotten taste, which must be liked by the old lady with bad teeth.
He immediately went to visit the shopkeeper Xu to ask about the origin of the sweet potato, and asked if he could bring some back.
"This.." Shopkeeper Xu hesitated a little, and when he saw that he really liked it, he said: "I won't tell you, this sweet potato was provided to me by the little lady in the morning, because the number of new products is scarce, and I don't have much survival here, otherwise it won't be supplied in limited quantities every day." ”
Li Damin was a little disappointed, but he couldn't help but ask: "Then I can trouble the school cabinet to invite her to come here, I really want to buy this sweet potato." ”
Shopkeeper Xu asked people to find Chu Xinyun, but fortunately she hadn't gone far, and when she heard that someone wanted to buy her own sweet potato, she went back with her.
"Do you want to buy sweet potatoes?" Chu Xinyun asked.
Li Damin nodded and said: "The taste of this sweet potato is soft and rotten, but it is very suitable for the eighty-year-old mother at home, she doesn't like to eat anything since her teeth fell out, I want to buy some and give her a taste." ”
When Chu Xinyun heard that it was sold to his father, he agreed without saying a word, and told him some of the effects of sweet potatoes: "This sweet potato has the effect of laxative ventilation, and people who often have a swollen stomach can eat more, but the old man can eat half a day because of his old age and weak stomach." ”
"My sweet potatoes are all excellent varieties, just simple steaming over water is very delicious, you can also use porridge, eat more time is good for the body."
"I can even ventilate and laxative!" Li Damin feels that he has picked up a treasure, doesn't his wife need this!
Li Damin said with a smile: "Then I have to trouble the little lady to sell me more, my mother really happens to have this problem and always tells me that she is uncomfortable in her stomach, you can directly say the price!"
Chu Xinyun directly quoted the same price as the shopkeeper Xu, and Li Damin set fifty catties in one go, and the two made an appointment to trade here tomorrow.
The two talked about the variety of sweet potatoes to eat, Li Damin liked the sweet potato dishes in the restaurant very much, Chu Xinyun said that he had no intention of asking the drum to make it, if he wanted to, he could give him a few.
It's not a rare thing, as long as the people who are willing to ponder go back and work hard, they want to think about the back kitchen of the restaurant, and now the dishes of sweet potatoes have been invented a lot, and now they are still trying it every day.
I don't blame them, after all, this sweet potato is unique in the entire Qingyun Town.
What's more, Li Damin is not a local, he is a traveling businessman who does business everywhere, and this recipe will not affect the business of the shopkeeper Xu, and he can get mutual favor, what if he helps him sell sweet potatoes in the future?
Li Damin was a little embarrassed, and always felt that he had taken advantage: "How embarrassing is this, the little lady will make a price, I am willing to pay for it." ”
Chu Xinyun waved his hand and said: "It's just a few food recipes, where do you need to buy it with money, I am friends with Shopkeeper Xu for a long time, and it can be regarded as waiting for him to give you some compensation, don't shirk." ”
Shopkeeper Xu has helped herself so many times before, and she is not a person who does not remember her kindness, and this time it can be regarded as a little caution of herself
Meaning.
Li Damin had to accept it, and the two sides could be regarded as friends.
In the evening, Laifu, who learned that the plan had failed, returned to Jinbao Zhai and told Chen Xuejiao about it.
"This time it's a small one that hasn't been done, please punish the shopkeeper, but the little one found that the little lady seems to be secretly providing a crop called sweet potato to the Cloud Restaurant, if the shopkeeper is interested, the little one is willing to get some."
"Sweet potato?" The candlelight in front of the shopkeeper Chen jumped, and he chuckled: "I underestimated this little lady, I originally thought she was just a peasant woman, but I didn't know that she had a lot of secrets..."
After that, he stood up and ordered: "Find a time, find this little lady and tell me, remember not to get hurt." ”
"Yes!" The blessing retreated.
The next day, Chu Xinyun took the sweet potato to Yunjian Restaurant to deliver the goods, threw the two taels of silver in her hand and carefully put it in her purse, and now her small treasury has also risen and swelled, except for the inevitable monthly expenses, it has been saved to almost three hundred taels.
She hadn't forgotten that she had to save money to take Xiao Shu to a big place to see a doctor, and she didn't know if the three hundred taels were enough.....
Thundered
At some point, dark clouds began to gather in the sky, accompanied by bursts of thunder, as if it was going to rain in the next second.
It's really the weather in May, and when you say that you change your face, you will change your face, and it's fine in the morning.
Chu Xinyun, who originally wanted to walk around the street, had to speed up her pace, she didn't want to be drenched in the rain and become a chicken in soup.
What she didn't notice was that not far from her, two men in short shirts looked at each other, and then quickened their pace to catch up.
"What kind of weather is this, it was good just now, why is it going to rain when I go back to the house?"
"It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, and you're not a god who can manage so much, hurry up and collect your clothes!"
The originally lively market suddenly dispersed, and the street vendors began to pack up their things and prepare to go home, after all, who else wants to go out shopping on this rainy day?
And it's not easy to go back when it's raining, it's muddy and you can't do business, so it's better to go back early.
Chu Xinyun complained a little, blaming him for not being able to buy vegetables when it rained, and originally thought that he would buy some delicious food for Xiao Shu to make up for his body.
Recently, because six acres of fields have been planted with sweet potato seedlings, Xiao Shu has been busy, and the water in the field is insufficient due to the sunny weather for several days, so he can only go to the nearby river to fetch water and water the seedlings, and the whole person has been tanned, and she is very distressed.
But who knew it would rain today?
Chu Xinyun was walking when she suddenly heard two footsteps behind her that had been following for a long time, in fact, she had just found out, she just thought that she was just a passerby who wanted to rush home before the rain like her, but when she came back to her senses, she found that the footsteps were not a bit too coincidental?
The words of Shopkeeper Xu suddenly flashed in her heart: You have to be careful, Shopkeeper Chen is not such an easy person to give up.
Could it be that someone is stalking you?
She resisted the urge to look back, and once she turned back, it would be equivalent to telling the other party that she had found them, in case someone was annoyed and angry, and rushed straight up. How can she, a powerless girl, beat two people?
She rolled her eyes and suddenly had a plan, and continued to walk forward pretending not to know anything, but slowly slowed down.
Although the roadside stalls are closed, some of the street shops have only put up canopies and have no intention of closing.
Chu Xinyun casually walked into the street with sporadic crowds, his eyes swept over the shops on a street, and finally landed on a shop with rouge gouache on the corner of the street.
She remembered that she had come to this shop when she and Xiao Shu had come here to shop before, and it seemed that there was a back door in the back?
Chu Xinyun walked in without saying a word, the proprietress originally thought that if it was about to rain, it would be estimated that there would be no one left, so she sat lazily on the soft seat and drank tea, and when she looked up, she saw her, and hurriedly greeted her with a standard smile.
"This little lady wants to see rouge gouache? It's a coincidence that you're here, there are a lot of new products in our store, all of which are the most popular in the capital!"
Chu Xinyun answered a few vaguely, and while pretending to pick and choose, he observed with his peripheral vision, and found that the two people did not come in, but they did not leave, probably because they were embarrassed to enter this store.
She immediately had some numbers in her heart, and said loudly: "I heard that your family has recently received a new batch of materials, and I want to buy a few pieces of cloth to make a new clothes." ”
The proprietress was happy when she heard it, and immediately pulled her behind the curtain: "You have come to the right place, this batch of materials is new, and your skin really looks good in anything!"
"Come with me, I've got all the good stuff here!"
The two men standing at the door looked at the signboard on the top with some embarrassment, and they really didn't want to go, so they had to find an inconspicuous place to squat.
One of the men in a gray shirt whispered, "What are the shopkeepers asking us to keep an eye on this little lady?"
"You don't know that I know? The shopkeeper just pays the salary, why do you care so much?"
The two of them waited at the door like this, and as the sky became more and more gloomy, a few drops of rain fell, followed by a dense curtain of rain.
