Chapter 29 The Third Master of the Zeng Family
Time flies quickly, a week has passed in a blink of an eye, and in September, he was detained at home by Yun Niang and almost never went out. However, Su Jinghang, since that day, every day as soon as he comes back, he will talk to September about the knowledge he learned from Sun Xiucai, and when he is free, he must never leave his books, and he has a feeling of forgetting to sleep and eat.
Since Master Xiao came, Chen Ye's injuries have gradually improved, and he can occasionally move around the yard. September can always see his handsome glowing face through the window, and he was stupid several times, Chen Ye didn't know if he had found it, and then he walked back to the room with his back to the main house for a while when he came out several times.
I couldn't see handsome guys in September, and I became more and more bored, so I simply asked Su Changlin to buy paper and pens, and I was writing and painting in my spare time. Occasionally, Su Huiru came over to chat with the two and talk about gossip and interesting things in the village, and the relationship between the two sisters was getting better and better.
Just after lunch on this day, Su Changlin had just watered the bean sprouts and came out of the shed, when he heard the sound of talking at the door, and looked at the voice suspiciously, it was actually the shopkeeper Qin with Xiao Si, who took down a large bag of gifts from the carriage. Seeing Su Changlin, he shouted with a smile: "Changlin, your house is really hard to find, I asked several fellows to find it."
"Qin... Shopkeeper Qin... What are you doing here? Su Changlin's hands were wet, and when he saw that the shopkeeper Qin had come in, he hurriedly wiped his hands with his clothes.
"I'm ashamed to say it, I only found out today that something happened to your family, it's late, don't mind Changlin." Shopkeeper Qin only learned about the Su family from Su Wenhai today, and he looked down on Na Fulai Restaurant more and more.
September heard the voice and knew that the shopkeeper Qin was coming, so he hurriedly ran out. "Uncle Qin, why are you here? I was thinking about asking you for help. ”
"Haha...... The little girl really doesn't see anything at all, come on, tell me if you need my help? Shopkeeper Qin secretly guessed September's intentions, but his face was smiling brightly.
In September, he followed Su Changlin to welcome the shopkeeper Qin to the main house, and said with a smile: "Uncle Qin, that's the case, our family is planning to start a house, you have also seen it, the family is such a big place, and it is really inconvenient to have no relatives to settle down, so I want to ask Uncle Qin if there are any familiar craftsmen."
"What shall I do? But when it comes to craftsmen, I do have a candidate. Okay, I'll take care of that. Shopkeeper Qin responded happily.
"Thank you, Uncle Qin." September said crisply.
Yun Niang came in with two cups of tea, and looked at September with inquiring eyes, September knew what Yun Niang meant, smiled and signaled that she was at ease, she hadn't discussed it with everyone about starting a new house at home, she just bought the land at the entrance of the village some time ago, she was recuperating at home during this time, and there were more people coming in and out.
Shopkeeper Qin took the tea handed over by Yun Niang and took a sip slowly, "Speaking of which, thanks to your dishes, the Yingbin Building is now overcrowded every day, although several restaurants have started to sell fish balls recently, but the business of the Yingbin Building has not been affected at all, and there are more and more regular customers." ”
Su Changlin couldn't help but panic a little when he heard that someone had started to make fish balls, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief when Shopkeeper Qin finished speaking, "Shopkeeper Qin is polite, it's not too late for our family to thank you." ”
"Uncle Qin, Yingbin Lou was the first to come into contact with fish, and those masters are already handy at making fish, how can they be compared with them anywhere else? I believe that the business of Yingbin Building will go to a higher level in the hands of Uncle Qin. September said with a smile.
Shopkeeper Qin was immediately happy when he heard this, "You girl is used to having a sweet mouth." However, I have good news for this time. If this is done, your family will also have a lot of income. ”
When Su Changlin and Yun Niang heard this, they glanced at each other, full of doubts, but when they heard this, they hurriedly asked with a smile: "What good news, Uncle Qin should not sell it."
"Our welcome building has been standing in the town for so many years, and no one dares to make trouble even when business is bad. It's because there is the Zeng family behind it. When the shopkeeper Qin talked about the Zeng family and Yourong, his chest unconsciously straightened up.
September didn't know what the origin of this Zeng family was, looked at Su Changlin and his wife, and saw that the two of them were also confused. He moved his gaze to Shopkeeper Qin again.
Shopkeeper Qin calmly picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. continued: "The Zeng family is the only wealthy and powerful family in Qingshui Town. The old man Zeng has three sons under his knees, the eldest Zeng Shaoqi, who has traveled all the year round, and has met a lot of people in the rivers and lakes, the second has increased and is a book, and he just took up the post of Qingyang prefect last year, and our Qingshui Town is within his jurisdiction, speaking of this third..."The shopkeeper Qin smiled.
"Do you know who the owner of this welcome building is?"
September secretly analyzed the power of the Zeng family, and the shopkeeper Qin asked, "Could it be the third master of the Zeng family?" ”
The shopkeeper Qin raised his head and smiled, "Haha, what the little girl said is right, our owner has a very good set of business, a few years ago, the center of gravity of the industry has moved to Qingyang City, and this welcome building is the earliest industry." ”
"Well, the eldest has connections, the second has power, and the third has money. This Zeng family ...... "September muttered to himself!
Shopkeeper Qin glanced at her and nodded secretly. "This time I came, I did have a business, but I don't know if you can eat it."
As soon as September heard this, his eyes lit up instantly, and he hurriedly asked, "This business, but it has something to do with the third master of the Zeng family?"
"You're as smart as a monkey, haha...... You are right, because of the fire in the business of the Welcome Building, our third master came here on purpose. I was surprised to learn that the fish balls and bean sprouts were all from your family. Listening to what he meant, there are also a few bean sprouts in Qingyang City, but the quality is far less radiant and full than your family. The most important thing is that the masters who invited the bean sprouts were all invited from Beijing at a high price, and the business was quite hot while making bean sprouts and making tofu. After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.
September has long known that there are sprouts in this era, and he is not surprised. It's just that she doesn't understand what the shopkeeper Qin is talking about about this business. Could it be that it has something to do with bean sprouts?
Su Changlin was confused, he was very uncomfortable with such an occasion, but as the male owner of the family, he had to work hard to adapt himself.
“…… Ahem, Shopkeeper Qin, I've been listening to it for a long time. Still don't understand what this good news is? Su Changlin touched his head awkwardly.
"Brother Su, don't worry, listen to what I've said. Long before, the third master had planned to ask someone to make tofu and bean sprouts. It's just that there has been no suitable candidate, since I saw the bean sprouts sent by your family, the third master asked me to ask, does Miss Su have any intentions in this regard? Shopkeeper Qin asked directly to September this time.
Su Changlin and Yun Niang didn't think it was wrong, after all, these were all methods that they came up with in September.
September lowered her head and pondered, now she can only make tofu brain, but she is really not sure about making tofu, but it is the time for the family to use money, besides, if you take the line of the Zeng family, then it will add an extra layer of protection to the Su family in the future. She always remembered Liu Jinbao's arrogance that day, and the hatred of Fulai Restaurant, she always remembered. A godsend......
"Uncle Qin, I need to think about this matter, please go back and talk to the third master, I will give him an answer as soon as possible." She had to try to find out, and she had no reason to give up!
"Haha, no hurry... This time, the third master will stay in the town for a while longer. When Miss Su has figured it out, just ask someone to come and talk to me. Shopkeeper Qin had expected this result, and he subconsciously felt that this little girl would definitely not let him down.
"Uncle Qin, then I'm sorry for you" looked at the sky, it was almost time to eat. Then he asked, "Why don't you finish eating at my house today and then leave?" By the way, let me try my craft? ”。
Shopkeeper Qin just wanted to refuse, but suddenly remembered a few dishes he had made in the Yingbin Building that day in September, and his mouth actually began to secrete something similar to saliva, which made him subconsciously swallow. "So, I'm being disrespectful?"
Forehead...... September was stunned. Isn't that a polite remark?
Su Changsheng heard that the shopkeeper Qin was visiting, so he rushed over. I'll go out for a walk with him.
September was sadly peeling green onions in the kitchen, secretly scolding himself for being too talkative. It's okay now, there are already many people in the family, and if you add one, some of them are busy now. Fortunately, I was sick in September in the past few days, and there was a lot of meat at home every day, as well as a lot of various vegetables and game sent by the villagers.
"Mother, just stew the rabbit sent by Uncle Niu, make a fish, and burn a bone broth. Do you think this will work? September asked, looking at the pile of ingredients on the ground.
"Okay, I'll fry some more bean sprouts. By the way, there is also the pheasant that Master Xiao brought back today, didn't he say that he burned it for him to eat? It's been a long time, and it's expected to smell tomorrow. Yun Niang fetched a bucket of water and looked at September.
September remembered Master Xiao, that strange old man, who didn't see anyone every day, but was very punctual when he ate, and he didn't need to be called by others, he could always find the taste and rush back. September sometimes wonders if he has some special abilities, otherwise how can he appear unnoticed every time he opens a meal?
"Mother, just look at the arrangement, I'll give you a hand." September came back to his senses and said with a grin. Not to mention, her mother is really talented in cooking, and if she does it once in September, Yun Niang will be able to find a better taste according to the method of September. Even the strange old man of Chef Xiao praised Yun Niang's cooking skills getting better and better every time he ate it.
Yun Niang came in with water and pretended to glare at September. September naughtily spit out her little tongue at her, Yun Niang immediately couldn't help it, "Poof... You bad-eyed girl, didn't you just say that you wanted to let Shopkeeper Qin taste your craftsmanship? ”
When it comes to this, September is also very helpless, okay, she has a father, a mother and a brother, she can sit and never stand, cooking is such a troublesome thing, she is actually not so enthusiastic, okay?
"Alright, alright, look at your wrinkled face and almost become a little old lady. You will obediently light the fire for me, and I will go to your father and ask him to dispose of the rabbit and this pheasant for us. Yun Niang touched September's little head and went out.
"Whew...... Fortunately, there is a mother. September let out a long breath.
Half an hour later, Su Changsheng came back with Shopkeeper Qin. A unique and spicy smell wafted out of the kitchen, and the shopkeeper Qin smelled a spirit, and said with a smile: "Why is it so fragrant?" Looks like I'm in for a good day. Su Changsheng laughed, "Let's go and sit in the house for a while, I think we will know what they have made in a while." ”
As soon as Su Changsheng finished speaking, he felt a gust of wind blowing around him. Looking around, I saw Master Xiao at the kitchen door bowing over and looking in. Shopkeeper Qin was stunned by the scene just now. Su Changsheng couldn't cry or laugh, and explained: "That is our family's September lifesaver, and they have been living at home recently."
Shopkeeper Qin looked Master Xiao up and down, nodded imperceptibly, Master Xiao noticed the gaze behind him, and glared back. The startled shopkeeper Qin suddenly felt cold, and his eyes seemed to be warning, but also implied disdain. Who is this Master Xiao?
Shopkeeper Qin's doubts continued until Chen Ye calmly appeared at the Su family's dinner table. This young man, when he first saw him, he only knew that he was the son of that rich family, but he didn't know why he appeared here.
Chen Ye was dressed in a moonlight cotton robe, his expression was cold and detached, but he was extremely polite to the Su family, and the Su family was really becoming more and more mysterious. Shopkeeper Qin thought to himself, do you want to tell the third master about this?
