Chapter 216: The Human Heart
This is also the shopkeeper's headache, the woman from the stone village said that she would send more mint leaves in a few days, why hasn't it been delivered yet?
Originally, this business was supported by peppermint tea, but now that the supply of peppermint tea has been cut off, how can it be good? The shopkeeper hurriedly lowered his voice and asked Xiao Er not to speak so loudly, let them continue to do their work, and said that there would be a first stable guest later without mint tea.
The shopkeeper walked out of Ruyi Building and went to the street to look for the woman who sold mint tea, and he recognized the woman as the woman who sold steamed buns on the street, so he easily found her.
At this time, Liu's sister-in-law, who was nervously selling steamed buns at the gate of the town, buried her head in collecting money for steamed buns, and she didn't notice that a man walked up to her and said that he wanted to buy a basket of xiaolongbao.
Sister-in-law Liu packed a piece of oilskin paper and looked up and handed it to the other party, only to find that it was the shopkeeper of Ruyi Building, only to hear the other party write her own mint leaves? Didn't you say that it would be delivered in the next two days? Why is it gone?
Sister-in-law Liu was stunned for a moment before she reacted that she was drying and would send it over in a few days, God knows that the mint by the river disappeared overnight, and she was in a hurry to get on fire when she lost so much money, but those mint evaporated overnight and could not be found.
Sister-in-law Liu sent the shopkeeper away, and she didn't have the heart to sell steamed buns, so her mind was full of mint, where might the mint go? There are many people in the village who have discovered Yu Shu's secret like themselves, maybe they want to eat alone so they dug up mint?
"What do you do? If you don't feel well, you can go to the side, you stand here and others come to buy buns, you don't say anything, what are you doing! Liu Jia found that her mother-in-law was not quite right, and said.
She's always been mysterious lately, and she has to sneak in the sun when she comes back with some strange things, and she doesn't know what she's thinking, but fortunately, it's no longer mysterious to return to normal these days.
Sister-in-law Liu sat aside and didn't help sell steamed buns, and there were many people passing by who were eating meat sandwich buns, eating strange and tempting, it was this thing, and it hurt her own steamed bun business to plummet, I thought that if the two widows were squeezed away, no one would sell this anymore, but I didn't expect the one from the Tiger family to join, and the woman was not easy to bully at first glance.
"How do you know who got the mint? By the way, Yu Shu, if Yu Shu knew that the mint was gone, she would be very anxious, and her Tianxianglou still needed mint! Just let Yu Shu force the mint out! Sister-in-law Liu muttered to herself.
Liu Jia didn't feel strange about her mother-in-law's self-talking behavior, because this daughter-in-law has always been so weird recently.
The two of them absentmindedly sold out the buns, but Liu Jia heard her daughter-in-law muttering:
"What do you mean by Yu Shu, making steamed buns for us but teaching them to make meat sandwich buns to rob us of our business, isn't it obvious that you don't want us to have a good time!" Sister-in-law Liu muttered as she carried the stove to the carriage.
Liu Jia was stunned, usually his daughter-in-law complained about whom, it was understandable, but now he blames Yu Shu? This just doesn't make sense, Pei Qinglin and his wife take good care of themselves, how can they complain about each other?
"What nonsense are you talking about, it's like doing business for us, Yu Shu is just out of kindness, a widow in the Xu family is helpless in the village, it's understandable to let her do some business, why should you complain about it because of this, the last time you talked nonsense in front of the villagers, it was already too much." Liu Jia is an honest and responsible person, and she can't get used to the bitterness of her daughter-in-law.
In fact, he didn't know what happened before, but later there were more and more rumors in the village, and he thought that the Xu family and the Ye family had come out early to sell, except for the two of them who had met it, and the villagers should not know, so he suspected that his daughter-in-law said it, and went back to ask, but the other party said that he had a crush on other people's pretty widows.
She can tolerate all this, but today she is really depressed on her forehead, which is a bit unreasonable, and he doesn't understand when her daughter-in-law, who is obviously very good-tempered, became a bitter person?
"Liu Jia, let me tell you, if it is for us to make meat sandwich buns, we can earn more, we are obviously the first to befriend her, why let a widow take the lead?" As soon as Sister-in-law Liu opened her mouth, she was carrying a gun with a stick.
Liu Jia stopped speaking when he saw him like this, and if he continued to talk about it, he might have to talk about other people's widows again, Liu Jia looked at her daughter-in-law and stopped talking, now she has become different from before, as if everyone can have fun when they are poor, once someone gets rich first and will float up after a long time.
The two returned to the village with their own thoughts, Liu Jia really didn't feel at ease and went to find Pei Qingrin, and Liu's sister-in-law went to Yu Shu's house to find Yu Shu by herself.
When Yu Shu saw Sister-in-law Liu, she was no longer as defenseless against her as before, but looked at her and didn't want her to enter the greenhouse, so she poured a cup of mint tea and asked her what was the matter?
Sister-in-law Liu looked at the cup in Yu Shu's hand meaningfully, the mint by the river was gone, where did Yu Shu come from to make mint tea?
"Yu Shu, I wonder if you have noticed something very strange happening in our village?" Sister-in-law Liu said meaningfully, Yu Shu didn't know what the other party was going to say, and looked at the other party curiously.
Sister-in-law Liu pointed to the cup in Yu Shu's hand and said that this mint is gone, and a whole piece of mint by the river is gone, haven't you noticed?
Yu Shu looked at the other party, this person who regarded herself as the only best friend in ancient times, I don't know when she has changed, she seems to be different than before, if Yu Shu has anything new in the past, she will definitely come to inquire about it as soon as possible, which is like now.
"Sister-in-law, why do you pay so much attention to the mint by the river? Who told you that thing was called mint? I don't remember you asked me, "Look, who did you sell all those mints to, and how much did you sell them for?" "It's all come to this point, and they're not stupid people, so let's just make it clear.
Liu's sister-in-law said that all the restaurants except Tianxianglou were sold by themselves, but they didn't get much, and they only got three taels of silver, and asked why Yu Shu had the opportunity to make money, and didn't tell everyone, but ate alone? This is also too selfish!
"Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't tell you, when I found the mint, it was the one by the river, but as long as I say it, everyone will do it, but I don't know if this mint can reproduce in the wild, in case it is hollowed out all at once, everyone has nothing to do, I plan to wait for them to mature and give the seeds to everyone to plant, and next year there are seeds that can be planted in a large area." Yu Shu didn't expect this woman she once trusted to do such a thing.
