Lin Xia panicked, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold the old man's arm, "Old man, are you Li Shi's relative?" What happened to him? ”

"I'm Xiaoshi'er's grandfather, when he came back from work last night from work, he covered people with a sack and dragged him to the alley, and was forced to ask for the secret recipe of Malatang, and if he didn't give it, he would be beaten severely. Then Xiao Xian'er was beaten up by those people, and fainted directly in the alley, but fortunately an acquaintance found out and sent him to his home......" The old man said this, and his voice choked.

"I hurriedly sent it to the hospital in the morning, and after Xiao Xian'er woke up, he hurriedly called his father and mother to come to the store to tell you, and he fainted again after speaking...... "The old man wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the corner of his clothes and continued: "Xiao Xian'er is the only son in the family, and he is lucky to find a good errand and meet a good boss...... But this is a disaster...... He can't stand it......"

Lin Xia heard the cause and effect of the matter, and immediately understood that this was a means of business fighting.

The popularity of the incense stick is a good thing for Lin Xia, but it is not a good thing for his peers. robbed most of the business and customers, and simply cut off their financial routes.

I thought of a way and sent a cook to steal the master, especially the red soup base, which is definitely a hit, with a spicy and numb taste and is very fresh, they have done it several times, and the taste is always worse than the string of incense. and privately talked to Lei Biao and Lin Xia about the secret recipe for buying the soup base, but they were all politely refused. I also bought the guys, but they all said they didn't know.

This string of incense is simply an impregnable wall, and even molten iron can't be poured into it.

Seeing that the business of Chuanchuan incense was getting more and more prosperous, and even other counties knew about the reputation of Chuanchuanxiang, they had to be anxious, so they used some drastic methods.

Lin Xia actually knew very well that Zhang San and Li Xi didn't know anything about the soup base, and every time Lin Xia boiled it himself, even Lei Biao might not know all the ingredients.

However, after all, it was because of her that Li Xian's injury was affected by peer competition, Lin Xia was helpless, and he also realized that if he wanted to really become big and popular in this ancient period, he must have a background and must rely on. This is not a society governed by the rule of law, and murder does not require a prison sentence!

Lin Xia hurriedly comforted the old man, "Old man, you let Xiao Xian recuperate at home for a few days, of course, the salary will be calculated during this period of recuperation, and then I will pay for his medical expenses." ”

The old man didn't expect Lin Xia to be so generous, and tears welled up in his eyes. It's no wonder that Li Xian often says that Lei Biao and Lin Xia are how generous and talkative they are, and they feel that they have really met a good boss.

"To put it bluntly, Xiao Xian can suffer this unwarranted disaster because of our reasons, you told him to recuperate at home in the past few days, and then come back to work after healing his injuries." After speaking, Lin Xia took out a tael of silver from the purse on his waist and handed it to the old man, and asked him to put it away.

The old man was very moved to take the silver into his arms, and hurriedly went back to take care of Li Shi.

Lin Xia told Lei Biao and Zhang San about Li Shi, and instructed Zhang San to be more careful on the way back after closing the door every day.

Approaching noon, there were more and more guests, and this unfortunate thing also lined up one by one.

Lin Xia was busy collecting money, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Old Man Lin and Du Shi who had just stepped into the store, Lin Chengzong and Zhao and Lin Chengyao did not come, it is estimated that Old Man Lin and the two of them came to visit Lin Chengguang in the county.

Du Shi had already seen Lei Biao standing at the gate to help people scald vegetables, and when he entered the door, he didn't go to the shelf to pick vegetables first, but stood in front of the counter and stared at Lin Xia.

"Xia'er, why don't you tell us that you and Lei Biao have opened a restaurant in the county?" Du Shi looked at the store with two eyes, this person is not old or young, and on the way here, he saw many people holding a triangular box and eating the dishes inside, smelling the taste and making people salivate.

When Du Shi was shopping, he asked the vendor, and the vendor looked like a ghost, and said sourly: "You are all from the ravine, right, don't you even know the string of incense?" ”

This is not to blame Old Man Lin and Du Shi, although this Qingxi Village is close to Qinghou County, but the people in the village are usually self-sufficient, and rarely come to the county to visit, unless they want to buy clothes and household items, they will go to the county seat specially. And outsiders went to Qingxi Village to buy and sell goods, and naturally they would not mention the name of strings of incense for no reason.

After inquiring carefully and knowing the location, Old Man Lin and Du Shi planned to try it too, but they didn't expect to see Lei Biao who was helping people scald vegetables at the gate from a distance.

Seeing his acquaintances, Du Shi's heart was a little sour.

"Dad, mother, why are you here?" Lin Xia pretended to be surprised at first, and then replied: "It's just a small deal, Daddy, you hurry up and pick vegetables on the shelf." ”

Old man Lin and Du Shi didn't move, and Du Shi said coldly: "Don't you take your father and your mother in your eyes?" ”

Old man Lin also had a rare conversation, "That's it, I'm not sensible when I'm so old." ”

Lin Xia resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said, "Why don't I take you two seriously?" "I really didn't take you seriously!

"Don't tell us about such a big thing as opening a store? Moreover, even if you two open a store, why don't you help your family, please invite these outsiders and you are not afraid of being deceived. Du Shi said, and glanced coldly at Zhang San, who was standing next to the shelf and beckoning the guests to pick up dishes.

The shelf and the counter were quite close, Zhang San heard Du Shi's words clearly, and also turned his head to look at Du Shi and Lin Xia back and forth.

Lin Xia naturally saw Zhang San's small move, and said with a smile: "No, Xiao San and Xiao Yan are very good, they are very diligent and hardworking." ”

"Why should you invite your family, now that the farm work is not busy, your third and fourth brothers have nothing to do!"

"My store is so big, it's enough for people." Lin Xia responded calmly, she can still deal with Du Shi so calmly now, because she doesn't want this Du Shi to make any trouble, now is noon, when there are the most guests.

"Wouldn't it be okay to fire them?" Du Shi glanced at Lin Xia coldly, "Your own family is more relieved than outsiders!" ”

"Mother, I'm afraid you have forgotten, I am already married to Lei Biao, and the water spilled by the daughter who got married." Lin Xia once again took the trouble to emphasize this matter to Du Shi, "Besides, did my father and mother come here to find jobs for the third and fourth brothers?" I've heard that the dock is looking for porters, so I can ask them to come and try it. ”

Du Shi was obviously very unaccustomed to Lin Xia's clever words, and Old Man Lin frowned lightly when he was listening, and said loudly: "Xia'er, how can you say that you were conceived and born in October by your mother, you are not filial to what you say." ”

Lin Xia looked at Old Man Lin with some surprise, it has always been the Du family who has been arrogant and domineering, and Old Man Lin is silent. But from that time when he asked Lei Biao for a dowry of fifty taels of silver, Lin Xia judged that this old man Lin was definitely not a good person.

Hearing his voice, Lin Xia was quite surprised.

However, since ancient times, filial piety has been greater, and this filial piety word has been pressed, and Lin Xia can't say anything, so he turned the conversation and said, "Daddy, it's the first time you eat Malatang, go pick vegetables, this time my daughter invited you." ”

Du Shi wanted to say something, but someone in the store shouted to settle the bill, and Lin Xia hurriedly answered, "Dad, mother, I'm busy in this store, so I won't greet you." Xiao San, say hello to my good life! After speaking, he hurriedly bypassed Old Man Lin and the two went to the table to settle the bill.

Zhang San hurriedly took two baskets and handed them over, "Two, what are you going to eat?" ”

Old man Lin and Du Shi glanced at each other and didn't say anything more. When they ate this Malatang, they were very surprised, they had eaten the spicy hot pot of Hongyun Xi, but the taste of this Malatang is completely different from the hot pot, the taste is obviously much stronger than the hot pot, and there is no need to dip in seasoning. This Malatang is also convenient, take it away at any time, and you can eat it while walking on the road, so it is no wonder that so many people on the road are holding a triangular box to eat Malatang.

In the end, the two of them ordered a lot of dishes and packed two more, without paying a penny, and left the store without saying hello to Lin Xia.

After sending away the strange mother's family, Lin Xia finally breathed a sigh of relief, but this unfortunate thing, there are two if there is one, and there are three if there are two.

Suddenly, a thin, withered young man came with a wooden cart, and something on the cart was covered with a tattered mat. Under the gaze of many people, the man parked the wooden cart in front of the shop where the incense was skewered.

At this time, there were still many people queuing at the door of the store, and they all looked at the man very curiously, only to see that the man's mat was opened, and an old man was lying on the wooden cart, foaming at the mouth and no longer breathing.

"The boss of the incense stick came out for me! Your spicy hot eats the dead! I want your lives to pay for it! The man shouted.

The people inside and outside the store heard this roar clearly, and they all stopped their chopsticks and looked in the direction of the door.

I saw the man crying in tears, "Poor my father...... After eating the spicy tang in your store, I vomited and diarrhea when I went back, and I quickly went to the hospital to see a doctor and said that I had food poisoning, and then I died in less than a moment...... You people who have no conscience must be cooking things that are not fresh...... Oh my daddy...... Killed by you unscrupulous merchants...... Woowoo...... You will pay for your lives! ”

Lin Xia heard the voice and hurriedly walked out, glanced at Lei Biao who was standing at the gate to give people hot vegetables, and then at the man who was crying, his head full of black lines.

"You said that my spicy hot food killed your father?" Lin Xia looked at the man speechlessly and said.

The man seemed to have been stimulated by something, and rushed directly in the direction of Lin Xia, "You murderer, pay for your life!" ”
