Chapter 228: Angry and Crying (16th Watch)

"Third brother, you're too much!"

Xia Duobao's last sentence undoubtedly poked Xia Duofu's sore feet.

Xia Duobao has always known that the reason why the Sifang people are bullied is because he has no son.

But he doesn't have a son, is he to blame for this?

Doesn't he want a son?

It's God who won't give him a chance.

Whoever doesn't want to have a son, even if it is not for the sake of inheritance, just to change his father's attitude towards Sifang and Guixiang, he has to give birth to a son.

But he can't say that!

The pressure on his daughter-in-law is greater than his, and if he says it, his daughter-in-law will not be able to stand it.

"Am I excessive? Who's going to do it? If you thought I was too much, you wouldn't have said yes! It's you who can't speak well, no wonder others!

Come on, you hurry up and get out of me, delay Lao Tzu fighting crickets, Lao Tzu will even beat you! Xia Duobao said, raising his fist.

Xia Duofu's eyes were red, and tears kept pouring out.

He turned away with a dead face.

Before he walked out of the four-room courtyard, he heard Xia Duobao scolding.

"Hmph, like a fool, you still want to fight with me, go dream!"

……

……

Xia Qiqi and Lu Jiu took the design drawings of the teahouse and went to the house of the rich man Li in the county seat.

The last time she went in, Aunt Wang led her, this time, she and Lu Jiu went in, and the family didn't stop her, thinking that it was someone from the Li family, and she explained it.

When she went, Rich Man Li was already waiting at home.

Xia Qiqi handed over the drawings, and the rich man Li took it and looked at it, and after half a ring, he raised his head and looked at Xia Qiqi with excitement.

"This decoration is so special! I've never seen it before, little girl, how did you come up with the idea to draw this drawing? ”

"Ah Jiu's teaching!" Xia Qiqi Dao.

Xia Qiqi didn't want to make trouble for herself, to be precise, she was a country girl, she didn't understand anything in the past, if she suddenly understood this, she wouldn't be suspected.

But Lu Jiu is different, although she claims to be a distant relative, but where she is from, what she has learned, and what she has done, he has never said.

Even if there are some strange things, it is logical for him to teach himself.

Rich Master Li understood, he glanced at Lu Jiu, but in the end he couldn't hold back.

"Girl, this kid, is there something going on? I look at ......"

Rich Li wanted to say that although Lu Jiu was dressed in coarse linen, he couldn't hide his extravagance.

Coupled with his suffocating face, he doesn't look like a person raised by this kind of mountain and water in Ping'an Town.

It's like it's from outside.

"No, he's just an ordinary person, he doesn't like to talk!" Xia Qiqi Dao.

Naturally, the rich man didn't believe her words.

He still felt that Lu Jiu was not an ordinary person, but the little girl in front of him didn't want to say it!

But forget it, there is cooperation anyway, if it is really a big shot, he will still see it in the future.

Thinking about it this way, the rich man Li was relieved.

"By the way, this milk tea, do you think I will give you the money, it is more cost-effective?" Rich Master Li asked.

It fully gave Xia Qiqi the right to choose independently.

Xia Qiqi didn't squirm, she asked, "How much do you plan to sell this cup of milk tea?" ”

"Fifteen wen!"

Since it is a literati and ink writer's thing, fifteen wen is not expensive.

What's more, the materials Xia Qiqi said, whether it is cow's milk or black tea, are not cheap items.

With such pricing, it is easy to return to the cost, and besides, in the store, you can also sell other teas, and it is not necessary for those people to drink milk tea.

In Xia Qiqi's opinion, compared with a few pennies for a cup of tea in a restaurant, fifteen wen is indeed expensive.

But scarce is expensive, and this pricing is just right.

"If it's this price, I'll take two cents from each cup, and I don't bear any of the cost!" Xia Qiqi Dao.

Xia Qiqi only needed two pennies, which was beyond the expectations of Rich Li.

However, if you sell a hundred cups a day, you will have a hundred dollars, which is more than farming.

"Cheng, do you have anything else to add? If it's gone, I'll let the butler draw up the contract!" Li Caizhu said.

"Not for now!" Xia Qiqi said with a smile.

Rich Master Li laughed, "I think that the duck paws and duck neck you made last time can be used for trading!" You can find a restaurant to work with, do you want me to introduce you? ”

Every time Rich Li eats, he thinks of the duck paw and duck neck that Xia Qiqi made, and his saliva flows.

But he also knows that it is unrealistic for people to do it every day.

It's better to go big and let the family do this business directly, and when the time comes, he wants to eat it, and let people buy it.

Xia Qiqi does have such a meaning, but her priority is still Babaolou.

"Old man, I still want to ask the chef of Babaolou if he is willing to accept it, so I ......"

"So I just happened to introduce you!" Rich Master Li stroked his beard and said with a happy face.

Xia Qiqi's eyes lit up, "You mean you know the fat chef inside?" ”

Xia Qiqi himself also knows him, but cooking over there is not the same thing as cooking.

"Of course! You can help me make a pot first, so that I can eat and drink enough, and I will introduce you again to ensure that you will not suffer! Li Caizhu said.

"No problem! I'll go! Xia Qiqi nodded.

After speaking, he pulled Lu Jiu, who had become an ice cube face, and walked towards the Li family's kitchen.

Because of the food for the rich man Li, she and Lu Jiu were left behind for lunch.

After lunch, he made Zhou Hei Duck for Rich Master Li, and when he went back, it was dusk.

Xia Qiqi held the contract in his hand, as well as the design drawing, and the five taels of silver given by the rich man Li, and the whole person almost flew into the sky.

If it weren't for Lu Jiu still holding her hand, she was afraid that she would be really happy.

Along the way, Xia Qiqi was like a swallow, chattering non-stop.

She said to Lu Jiu: "Ah Jiu, I feel that our family background is constantly getting thicker!" When Dad splits up, we can build our own big house! ”

Lu Jiu was happy when he saw Xia Qiqi, and he was also happy.

But thinking of Xia Qiqi talking to Rich Man Li, and making so much food for Rich Master Li, he couldn't be happy.

Furrowed his brows, he couldn't speak for a long time.

Xia Qiqi sensed that something was wrong with Lu Jiu, and along the way, he also coaxed Lu Jiu with a good temper.

He promised to go back and make him food, and he said that he would make him new clothes.

Qiqi's eyes were all on Lu Jiu, and the words he said were all long and short.

Lu Jiu didn't feel angry anymore.

It just so happened that the two of them arrived at the entrance of the village.

Xia Qiqi and Lu Jiu returned home with a happy face, originally wanting to share the deal they had negotiated with their parents, but as soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Xia Duofu sitting on the threshold of the stove room with swollen eyes from crying.

"Dad, why are you crying?" Xia Qiqi was anxious and rushed up to ask.
