Chapter Ninety-Eight: Inquiry

"Xiaofan, how much truth did you say that kid said just now?" Zhong Zixin rubbed his forehead and asked Hu Xiaoyu, who was standing behind him.

"The shopkeeper, the little one thinks it's true, and the kid just now behaved like a mud leg." Hu Xiaofan's heart is relaxed now, "The shopkeeper, the little one actually saw that kid again before, and went to the Qiuwei restaurant, but the donkey cart was empty at that time, there was nothing, and it should have been the time to ask for a living." ”

Zhong Zixin raised his head suddenly, "Let's talk about it in detail." ”

Hu Xiaofan said with oil and vinegar, which means that Qi Jiuli came to Piaoxiang Wine Restaurant to make a living, and he went to Qiuwei Restaurant to make a living in a few days.

In Jinshui Town, Zhong Zixin was asking, and Qiliangou was Yu Mancang who personally took Wang Sheng to investigate.

Yu Mancang suddenly found that he didn't know the names of the old and the young who had sold charcoal to him before, he only knew that he was called Lao Qi, but who in Qiliangou was not surnamed Qi.

But it was a coincidence, not long after Yu Mancang entered the village, he saw Qi Shan who was busy working in the field, as well as the little girl and the wild boy who appeared in the shop.

"The shopkeeper, the younger remembers, the youngest seems to be called Eleven, the man's nephew." Wang Sheng saw Qi Shiyi and recognized it at a glance, it was him who was looking at charcoal outside.

"Bring someone over later, give some sweetness, it's better to be a child." Yu Mancang turned around and left, asking Wang Sheng to find someone.

Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi came back from the field, and when they were separated from their uncle, they met people in Yuji's grocery store, and the two of them were nervous together, but when they thought of Qi Jiuli's words, they were busy adjusting themselves.

"It's Eleven Little Brothers." Wang Sheng stepped forward with a smile, took out a few pieces of candy from his pocket, and then stuffed them into Qi Shiyi's hand.

"Who are you?" Qi Shiyi spread his hands and asked, his eyes looked at the candy in his hand uncontrollably, it was really pretended, but he knew how children reacted when they saw sugar, after all, he was like this before, but now that the food at home is good, he is no longer hungry for sugar.

"Hey, you little doll doesn't have a good memory." Yu Mancang walked over with a smile, "We didn't meet in the Yu Ji grocery store, you followed your uncle to sell charcoal." ”

Qi Shiyi's eyes flashed, "I remembered, so Uncle is here to buy charcoal today?" ”

"But the family doesn't sell charcoal anymore, what should I do?" Qi Shiyi said a little entangled.

"Why didn't you sell it?" Yu Mancang asked.

"It's not easy to sell." Qi Shi has been saying in vain, "Who still buys charcoal in this weather, ordinary people can't afford it, anyway, it's the same with firewood, so we might as well pick up more firewood to sell." ”

"Don't you know that the Autumn Flavor Restaurant now uses charcoal, I remember that your brother didn't work in the Autumn Flavor Restaurant, I saw it yesterday." Yu Mancang said.

"Uncle has seen my brother." Qi Shixiang said happily, "I don't know if my brother has worked hard, whether the people in the shop like him or not." ”

"Then it's a good thing for you to buy charcoal now, you can sell it to Qiuwei Restaurant, right?" Yu Mancang asked.

Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi both looked ignorant, "Is it okay?" You'll have to talk to your uncle. ”

"There are a lot of new dishes in the autumn restaurant, the taste is very good, I don't know if you have tasted it, this is a different kind of potato I packed yesterday, for the two of you to try too." Yu Mancang took out an oiled paper seal, and the potatoes in it were pasted in the hot pot this morning.

"Wow, it's so fragrant, it must be delicious, uncle, do you really want to give it to us?" Qi Shiyi licked his lips and said.

"Eat."

Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi both happily ate a piece, their eyes were amazed, and they looked forward to it, "Now that my brother has been working in the Qiuwei Restaurant, I don't know if there will be a chance to bring some leftovers back to us in the future." ”

"There's a new spice in it, that's why it's so delicious." Yu Mancang said.

"Spices? Salt, soy sauce? Then let's make it at home tonight, the most important thing in the house is potatoes. Qi Shixiangxing hurriedly said.

"Haven't you tasted this before?" Yu Mancang asked curiously.

The two shook their heads, "Where can we eat, this oil is shaking, who makes potatoes and puts so much oil, we don't need to put oil when we make it at night." ”

"Have you ever heard of spices?" Yu Mancang then asked.

Spices are the claims of autumn flavor restaurants, and the new dishes are so delicious because of the newly developed spices.

"Spices?" Qi Shiyi was puzzled, "What is the spice?" ”

Yu Mancang's face sank suddenly, it seemed that his previous analysis was wrong, and he didn't have the heart to ask any more, Yu Mancang turned around and left directly, Wang Sheng hurriedly followed, Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi watched the two of them leave in a daze.

Yu Mancang also glanced back at the two of them, and saw that the two were still standing in place, and strode away.

When they couldn't see the backs of the two of them, Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Second sister, weren't we very good just now." Qi Shiyi smiled and said, "Yes, I also got candy." ”

"When my sister comes back in the evening, we tell her that we can do whatever we need to do now, and Uncle Na won't look for it yet." Qi Shixiang said cautiously, I was afraid that I would meet it later, and I couldn't tell it.

Autumn Restaurant.

"Nine miles are coming." As soon as Qi Jiuli entered the gate, Yan Chengtao smiled and called people.

Qi Jiuli told Yan Chengtao about the things he had encountered before, as well as the response with Zhong Zixin, Yan Chengtao frowned for a while, showed appreciation for a while, and finally patted Qi Jiuli on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, you don't have to worry about the rest of the matter, you are doing a good job today." ”

"By the way, can you tell your family?" Yan Chengtao asked.

"Well, I told my uncle that there should be no problem." Qi Jiuli said confidently.

"Okay, okay." Yan Chengtao nodded, explained to Qi Jiuli, and left the shop.

Yan Chengtao went directly to Qiu's house, and entered through the gate, of course, he didn't ignore the tail that followed behind him, Hu Xiaofan, he got Zhong Zixin's orders, and let him keep an eye on Qiuwei Restaurant.

Who should be the most important thing to keep an eye on in Qiuwei Restaurant, of course, it is Yan Chengtao, the shopkeeper, seeing him enter Qiu's house, Hu Xiaofan waited for a while and no one came out.

Yan Chengtao was planning to see the owner, he didn't want to be in such a hurry, but he didn't expect Piaoxiang Wine Store and Yu Ji Grocery Store to move so quickly.

Qiu Lianfang has been out of confinement, but she hasn't been out of the backyard yet, and now she is focused on teaching her daughter and looking good at her son.

"Madam, Shopkeeper Yan is here, I see that there is an urgent matter." When Steward Qiu came to tell him, Qiu Lianfang was a little surprised, explained a few words to Steward Qiu, and got up to change his clothes.

Yan Chengtao was drinking tea in the hall of the outer courtyard, and the porter of Qiu's house was entertaining, not only did Qiu Lianfang get the news, Qiu Shunwei also knew about it, and similarly, Qiu Shunwei's brother He Jiabao also heard about it.
