Chapter 161: Fanning the Flames
Puzzled, Du Lan called Du Liang: "What is my mother doing at home today?" ”
Du Liang replied: "Grandma has been in poor health recently, and she is going to move to our house, so my father and mother went to grandma's house to move things." ”
"Oh?" Duran frowned, that old guy lives with the Zhao family, and he can't eat the Zhao family? "Liangzi, why don't you stop it, does our mother still have a good life if she lives in?"
"It should be fine, our father knows that he feels sorry for his mother, but my sister is too worried. My mother has been a lot tougher recently, and she won't always be bullied by her, so don't you want me? ”
So Du Lan is more relieved, she has to go back to take a look, and she has to go back to be more diligent, so as not to let the Zhao family be bullied by the old woman.
"Okay, I know, if you're okay, come with me to the village to find some people and go to the mountains to pick some fragrant fruits."
As he spoke, he was about to take the back basket, Du Liang took the first step to put the back basket on his back, and smiled at Du Lan: "Sister, I'll come." ”
Du Lan was stunned for a moment, and in a trance he seemed to see Gu Youan's shadow, yes, if he was there, he would also rush to work with him.
Before she knew it, he had been gone for a few days, and she had been thinking of him a lot lately.
"Sister, let's go."
"Hmm." Duran retracted his thoughts.
They shouted to the gang room, and waited for Du Mi to fill the ketchup, and they set off.
Xu's house, Xu Hening went back to the winery to get the account book, and was called to the study by Master Xu, as soon as he stepped into the study, he noticed that the atmosphere was gloomy, he raised his eyes and saw that Xu Heming was gloating at him with Erlang's legs.
"Smack!" Master Xu slapped the table angrily, "Rebel!" In vain, your father trusts you the most, and hands over the family's business to you to take care of, you actually have your own little abacus for your father, and opened a restaurant called Shilixiang, you want to stand up for yourself before you get married? Your dad and I'm alive and well! ”
Xu Hening buried his head and explained: "Dad, I didn't secretly do business from my father, the restaurant friend opened, I just made a contribution." ”
"Dad, look at the eldest brother, he still lied to you until now, how can he have you as a father in his eyes." Xu Heming fanned the flames proudly.
Master Xu was furious: "Bastard, do you think Dad is confused?" How can your country friend have the money to open a restaurant? How long do you want to hide from your father? If you don't want to be angry with me, just honestly hand over all the operating accounts of the restaurant to me. ”
"Daddy......" Xu Hening frowned in embarrassment.
"What! Do you take your father's words as a deaf ear? ”
"My son doesn't dare, it's just that the restaurant is my son's brainchild, and my son wants to keep the right to operate the restaurant." Xu Hening dared to make one last request.
Master Xu pondered for a while, "For the time being, it is still under your management, as for the future...... As long as it is the family business of the Xu Mansion, it must be jointly run by the two of you brothers. ”
Xu Heming hooked his lips and smiled and arched his hand towards Master Xu, "Dad, don't worry, my son must learn to do business as soon as possible, so as to help my eldest brother." ”
Xu Hening glanced at him angrily, but he didn't say anything after all.
The matter is obvious, it must be Xu Heming's ghost.
Master Xu waved his hand at the two brothers, signaling that they could leave.
Xu Heming stood up uninhibitedly and strode out, but when he stepped over Xu Hening's side, he snorted disdainfully.
Xu Hening didn't hear it, bowed his hand to his father slightly, and turned to leave.
He was extremely depressed, and when he walked out of the hall, he instructed Xu Baoqing to prepare a carriage to go to Shanwa Village, which was definitely not good news for Duran.
As soon as Duran, Du Mi and Du Liang walked out of the house with the basket on their backs, they saw Xu Baoqing driving a carriage slowly stopping at the door of her house.
She wondered in her heart, Brother Xu is here?
Sure enough, Xu Hening jumped out of the carriage, and Du Lan hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Brother Xu, why are you here." ”
Xu Hening had a faint smile on the corner of his lips: "I heard that you make soy sauce and pepper at home, and I came over to see if you can tie up any busy." ”
Du Mi and Du Liang both greeted Xu Hening: "Brother Xu is good." ”
"Oh, Du Liang, hello cousin of the Du family." Xu Hening nodded politely.
After saying hello, Xu Hening found that Du Lan and the others were carrying the baskets, and asked suspiciously, "Are you planning to go out?" ”
Du Lan smiled and took down the back basket: "It's okay, I just want to go up the mountain to find some fragrant fruits, Brother Xu, please come in, let's go into the house." ”
Du Lan smiled and let go home, Xu Hening nodded and followed, Old Man Gu was enjoying the shade in the yard, and saw Xu Hening greeting with a hand-cranked fan, "Young Master Xu is here!" ”
"Hello Grandpa Gu." As he spoke, he walked over and saluted.
"No, no, you don't have to worry about me, just go about your own business." Old Man Gu said politely.
Xu Hening smiled politely, Aunt Zhang in the courtyard saw Xu Hening, got up and bent over him: "Hello Xu Gongzi!" ”
"Hmm." Xu Hening smiled lightly and nodded.
Aunt Lao Gen looked Xu Hening up and down behind her back, looking from head to toe, she only felt that he was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and she was extravagant, and she was curious.
Du Lan led Xu Hening to the front of the house: "Brother Xu, please come in." ”
Then he turned his head to Du Mi behind him and said, "Mimi, go to the room and boil the kettle and bring it in." ”
After entering the house and taking a seat, Du Lan asked curiously, "Brother Xu, are you coming here today?" ”
She felt that a busy person like Xu Hening would not come to the door for no reason.
"Oh, today I will show you the accounts of the restaurant, and the second is ...... I would like to discuss the matter of the restaurant with you again. ”
Du Lan nodded thoughtfully, Xu Hening rarely slurred like this, he should have other things.
Xu Hening waved his hand to Xu Baoqing, who was waiting outside the door, Xu Baoqing walked into the room quickly, put the accounts of the restaurant on the table, Du Lan smiled and shook his head: "Brother Xu is polite, why do you and I need to see each other like this, I don't need to look at the accounts." ”
Xu Hening was stunned for a moment, feeling that Duran was open-minded, and if he insisted on showing her the accounts, he would be stingy.
"Okay, then you can take it."
As he spoke, he waved his hand at Xu Baoqing, Xu Baoqing understood, and quickly took out a stack of silver tickets and put them on the table.
Du Lan glanced at the stack of silver tickets on the table, and couldn't help frowning: "Brother Xu, why are there so many?" ”
Xu Gening blushed embarrassedly, looked at Du Lan ashamedly, and explained: "It's all ugly, I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, when I opened the restaurant before, it was my own idea, I didn't discuss it with my father, and I don't know what's going on, my father was furious when he found out, saying that I shouldn't hide from him to set up his own door, and also said that the restaurant belongs to the Xu family's industry, and I am in charge for the time being, and let Heming help take care of it in the future, I know that you and Brother You'an have always been at odds with my brother, if he really wants to meddle in the affairs of the restaurant in the future, I'm worried that he will embarrass you, so." ...... I would like to discuss with you and buy the recipes you provide, and in the future, no matter whether the restaurant business is good or bad, it will not be shared. If you don't agree, just let me not say it. ”
Duran was quite surprised, but he quickly figured it out, Xu Hening was kind, "Brother Xu is all thinking about me, so I still agree." ”
She also didn't want Xu Hening and Xu Heming to add more suspicion to the restaurant in the future. Besides, Xu Hening is right, Xu Heming and Gu Chunyan are indeed at odds with her, so in this way, it is good for everyone not to associate with Shilixiang Restaurant in the future.
Fortunately, the restaurant didn't open for long, and she didn't provide a few recipes, and the seasonings used in her recipes were all made by her...... She would never sell the seasoning to Xu Heming's two family.
For the sake of prudence, Du Lan still opened his mouth and made a request: "Brother Xu, you are far-reaching, I admire it in my heart, but I still need to say ugly things in front, if Shili Xiang Restaurant changes hands in the future, I can't supply the seasonings." ”
Xu Hening's face froze.
Xu Baoqing couldn't help but feel angry: "Mrs. Gu, my son-in-law has a great friendship with you, you can't help but lose face to my eldest son-in-law by saying this, right?" Even if the restaurant changes owners, it is still the ...... of Xu's house."
"Baoqing!" Xu Hening stopped coldly, "The master speaks, how can you interject, go out and wait." ”
Xu Baoqing looked unwilling, glared at Du Lan before raising his feet and walking out of the house.
Xu Hening smiled sadly: "Duran, are you laughing at me that I can't even keep my own business?" ”
Duran shook his head, "Brother Xu, don't think so, I understand that you have your difficulties, I did this just to guard against those two people, and I hope you will understand me too." ”
It doesn't matter if she divides the restaurant or not, the most important thing is that she will run a seasoning business in the future, and she can't give away all her things.
Xu Hening was a little stunned, his younger brother, who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, pondered all day long and enjoyed it, even Du Lan could think of things, how could he not think of it, but because of the majesty of his father, he couldn't get into trouble with his younger brother.
really responds to the old saying, Jin Yu is ruined on the outside, and looks glamorous on the outside, but who can see the pickled things in the mansion of a wealthy family.
"How can I blame you?" Xu Hening looked at Du Lan seriously, "According to what you said, if the restaurant is not under my control, it is up to you who you want to cooperate with." ”
"Thank you Brother Xu for being connected, all the agreements we signed before will be null and void."
Xu Hening pulled out a wry smile, the reason why he opened a restaurant was that he believed in Du Lan's cooking skills and felt that he would make a steady profit, and he was willing to help Du Lan, but things often did not go as planned.
After chatting, Xu Hening felt a lot more relaxed.
"By the way, what are you going to do with the basket on your back?" Only then did Xu Hening remember that he had delayed other people's affairs.
"Go up the mountain and pick fragrant fruits." Duran smiled briskly.
"Oh? Why don't you go with me? Xu Hening stood up, "I haven't been up the mountain yet, what is the fragrant fruit?" A fruit? ”
"Big brother, it's a spice." Duran raised his forehead, and the name Xiangguo did sound easy to misunderstand.
Xu Hening smiled ashamedly, as if he was very ignorant, "Then let's go?" ”
"Okay, as long as you don't dislike it, Master Xu, what can I stop. Let's go. Du Lan raised his eyebrows and motioned Xu Hening to go out with his eyes.
The two of them went out of the house, Du Liang and Du Mi were still waiting for her in the courtyard, and when they heard that Xu Hening was going to follow up the mountain, Du Liang Du Mi's eyes suddenly widened and looked at him in surprise.
"Brother Xu wants to go up the mountain?"
Looking at their incredible looks, Xu Hening unconsciously twisted his eyebrows: "What? Isn't it possible? ”
