Chapter 70: Eating Deflated
Without Qu Die's consent, the shopkeeper began to sell tea eggs in his tavern privately after developing them.
It's just that although it has its shape, it has no taste, and the shopkeeper deliberately sells it to the villagers who regret not being able to grab the tea eggs at a price higher than Qu Die's penny, but the effect is not ideal.
Because there is no secret recipe for making tea eggs, the tea eggs made by the shopkeeper are no different from boiled eggs.
Even later, he deliberately went to find something that looked similar to cinnamon and star anise, but he didn't know what it was, so as to imitate the butterfly, but he never succeeded.
Tea eggs became more and more unpalatable, and after a few days, a large number of eggs began to be hoarded there because they could not be sold, and they were stinky and rotten, not only looking ugly, but also finding a large number of insects.
As a last resort, the shopkeeper had no choice but to think of other ways.
Standing at the window with a haggard face looking at Qu Die's small stall full of people, the shopkeeper's eyes couldn't help but be full of jealousy, and he felt that the sides of his cheeks were beaten painfully.
"Damn stinky girl, I don't believe how long you can be proud!" gritted his teeth with hatred, since he couldn't imitate tea eggs, then he could only start from other exits.
It's another day, half a month has passed, Qu Die counts the days with his fingers every day, but the old man Niu who wants to marry Qu Wanting never appears.
But no matter what the reason, they have a peaceful life.
Qu Wanting has been by her side since that incident, helping her do business and helping, and the two of them can still chat when they are empty, but they are also comfortable.
Sitting on the steps and quietly watching the crowd flowing like a stream, Qu Die skillfully scooped up a tea egg with a spoon and wrapped it for the guests.
And Qu Wanting sat very obediently on the side, responsible for collecting money and looking for money.
"Fluttershy, we'll be able to sell a few left!" Glancing at the only five or six tea eggs left in the basin, Qu Wanting couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Although they have to get up early every day to set up a stall in this town, Qu Wanting feels that this time is the happiest day in her life.
There was no scolding or beating, and Qu Die didn't have any arrogance with her, and the two trusted and helped each other like good friends.
"Hmm." hooked the corners of her mouth, Qu Die snorted lightly and replied, it could be seen that she was in a good mood.
Although the tea eggs are not as hot as they were at the beginning, the daily business is still good, and in about a morning, the two of them can go home with a lot of money.
Now there are a few left, and they only need to shout and sell for a while to sell out.
At this time, it was almost noon, the sun was a little scorching, Qu Die didn't want to waste any more time here to suffer, and was just about to open her mouth to shout, but a shadow shrouded her whole person at this time.
"Hello, do you want to buy tea eggs?" Stunned, Qu Die asked softly, but her eyes narrowed unconsciously, the arrival of this person always made her feel a bad premonition.
Sure enough, as if to verify that she was right, the man quickly opened his mouth, and his tone was very unkind.
"Heh, tea eggs? Are you asking if you want to buy your black eggs? A thick aura emanated from all around him, clearly giving people the feeling that he was not easy to mess with.
"What do you mean, why are our tea eggs black-hearted?" got up suddenly, and the current Qu Wanting is no longer the cowardly and timid she was at the beginning.
These days with Qu Die, what kind of wind and waves, even Qu Die, who she has never seen, told her about it, and now this random person comes to the door to insult them, how can people bear it?
This can be regarded as a determination of her to make changes and help Qu Die.
Frightened by her sudden cold drink, the person who came to find trouble was stunned at first, which suddenly became even more angry, and he could also increase his voice and accentuate his voice.
"Why, you sell us this kind of thing and still don't let us talk about it? Now it's still so unreasonable, look for yourself, look at what you're selling, aren't you a black-hearted egg! ”
He took out a black thing covered by leaves from his arms, frowned, and Qu Die felt a little bad the moment he saw the familiar leaves.
Before she could speak, the man had already rushed to reveal the darkness in front of everyone.
"W-what is this? It won't be ......" Some villagers were already attracted by Qu Die's movements, but now they naturally took the young man's behavior into account.
Looking at the thing that looked like a tea egg, but at this time it was disgusting and scary, and it emitted an unpleasant smell, several people were a little unsure whether this was the tea egg they usually ate.
As if he was very satisfied with their reaction, the man's eyes couldn't help flashing a hint of joy, and he hurriedly raised the tea egg in his hand again, and pointed at Qu Die with his eyes like a torch and exclaimed:
"What is it? It's the black heart she has been using to cheat us out of money! See for yourself, is this a piece of virtue that people can eat? If I don't pay attention to it, I might be able to see what will happen to me! ”
Pursing her lips, Qu Die obviously felt that this person was prepared, and what he was holding in his hand would never be the tea eggs she sold! Merely...... But the bag of leaves ......
Looking at the man, Qu Die really saw the smugness in his eyes.
While she was thinking about how to deal with it, a plain hand suddenly grabbed her with anxiety, and turned her head to meet Qu Wanting's somewhat flustered look, and Qu Die knew that Qu Wanting had also noticed the problem.
Quietly whispering, she whispered: "Don't worry, now you can only wait." ”
Yes, all they can do now is wait, but ...... There is still some drama to be done.
With an angry face, Qu Die stood up suddenly, as if he was going to beat up the thin young man who accused him.
couldn't help but take a step back, not to mention that the onlookers next to him began to gasp, and he himself couldn't help but feel a little scared, and asked tremblingly, "You, what are you going to do?" I'm just telling the truth, it's hard for you to make a mistake yourself... Yikes! ”
Closed his eyes in fear, but the slap did not sound for a long time, and when the young man opened his eyes, he saw Qu Die, who had a calm face, standing in front of him and looking at him...... That timid look just now.
A hint of blush appeared on his face, and the young man couldn't help but wonder if he was dazzled just now, where was Qu Die's current as infiltrating as just now.
"What you have in your hand can't be sold by me at all, the tea eggs I make have always been clean and healthy, and there will never be such a problem, you are completely planting!"
Pointing to the tea egg that had been moldy and spoiled, Qu Die said very confidently.
Hearing this, the young man suddenly showed a smug smile, and in every corner that anyone noticed, his eyes were full of malice towards Qu Die.
raised his head high, and said with more momentum: "Hmph, you don't pretend less, don't you just think that I can't get off the stage if I demolish it?" Look at this, isn't this bag leaf enough to prove it? In addition to you, who is still selling tea and eggs within a radius of ten miles? ”
He pinched this weakness of Dancing Butterfly, so he dared to be so arrogant and arrogant, and was confident that Qu Butterfly would not be able to escape this responsibility no matter what suitable.
But he didn't notice a flash of essence/light in Qu Die's eyes at this time.
With a look of being asked, Qu Die's eyes were complicated to look at the familiar Bao Ye, but in his heart he was complaining about the shortcomings of ancient times.
A mere leaf wrapped in tea eggs can actually become evidence of quality control her, which is afraid that she will be laughed at and killed in modern times, but it is ...... Here people will believe.
Ever since she was pretended to be questioned by the youth, she could already hear the bits and pieces in her ears watching the villagers scolding her.
"What the hell do you want?" Gritting his teeth and looking at the proud young man, Qu Die finally made a compromise, and at the same time said stiffly: "Don't think that you are Ying now, you wait for me!" I'll definitely find out the truth about this! ”
But how could the young man and the villagers care about her words, he raised his nostrils proudly, and hooked the corners of his lips, his task today is almost complete.
According to what the shopkeeper had instructed him before, he pointed at Qu Die and said, "I want you not to sell tea eggs from today onwards!" There are also poor people like me who are deceived! ”
said righteous words, Qu Die just smiled mockingly in her heart, wanting to cut off her back road? No way! No matter who was behind him, she Qu Die would not be so easy to deal with.
"You did it on purpose!" Seeing Qu Die's meaning, Qu Wanting also cooperated very well to play together, but she was also angry at the young man's behavior.
"Huh." Hearing her say this, the man not only did not restrain himself in the slightest, but laughed out loud, and then said arrogantly and proudly: "The evidence is all here, isn't it clear who is wrong and who is wrong?" What else is there to argue about? ”
There was a hint of impatience in his expression, and the young man obviously didn't want to waste any more time with Qu Die.
Holding Qu Wanting, who was almost unable to collapse, and was really about to rush up, Qu Die didn't say anything, but quietly began to pack up her things.
Wrapping the wooden basin on the table in a cloth, Qu Die just lowered his head and listened silently to their various instructions to him, without any fluctuations in his heart.
"Fluttershy......" softly called her a little helplessly, and Qu Wanting was also helpless, so she had to help clean it up together.
Laughing proudly, the young man who was obviously not good at it looked at Qu Die and the two of them being wronged, and couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.
"Alright, let's go." Finally, after glancing at the young man coldly, Qu Die and Qu Wanting picked up the things that had been packed together, and turned around and left without a trace of affection.
And in everyone's eyes, they all thought she was running away, and a few stupid onlookers even comfortably hugged their arms and showed a few laughs.
