Chapter Twenty-Four: The Bad Guys Are Coming
"Shopkeeper, oh no... Over there... It's really selling fish, and it's half as cheap as us. It was Xiao Er from the Welcome Building who spoke, who had just run all the way from Tongfu Restaurant, and was still panting as he spoke.
After hearing this, Shopkeeper Qin waved his hand and sent him down. With a solemn expression, he called Master Zhang to the backyard of the welcome building.
"Lao Zhang, Fulai Restaurant has also started selling fish, what do you think about this?" Shopkeeper Qin's face was unhappy, and his tone was not very good.
Master Zhang glanced at the shopkeeper Qin and thought to himself: The girl of the Su family had already said that someone would definitely copy it in time. I didn't expect it to come out in less than half a month, and I wanted to come to the shopkeeper because of this.
"Shopkeeper, as long as this fish learns to get rid of the fishy smell, it is not difficult to do it, don't you think we have also figured out a few ways to do it? Tongfu Restaurant can make the business so big, the boss behind it is also capable, and there are a few capable people under his hands, not to mention fish, even fish balls are estimated to be made in a short time. You really shouldn't worry about that, besides, don't we have a new dish? ”
The shopkeeper of Qin was very promoted by the owner because of the fire of fish balls in recent days. But this Fulai Restaurant wanted to touch his brow in just a few days, which really made him angry. It must be the old thing surnamed Liu who sent someone to steal the school, but Master Zhang is right, the most important thing at the moment is to push the bean sprouts out.
"Lao Zhang, have you started sending bean sprouts?"
"I sent it, I sent it with the fish, and the Su family was also real, and when I came this morning, I also told me how to eat the bean sprouts." Speaking of the Su family, it is really impressive, the fish ball recipe said that it would be sent, this time not only brought bean sprouts, but also told them the method of Dafang. Master Zhang has dealt with them a lot recently, and he has a good impression of them.
"Oh, that's a surprise. But I've seen this sprout a few years ago, but no one knows how to send it yet. Is this Su family asking for something to do? Shopkeeper Qin picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and asked thoughtfully.
Master Zhang was helpless, Su Changsheng didn't say anything except what he did. "I don't think so, I listen to their tone, the bean sprouts are not just bought by our family, they are sold in several villages around them, and the girl from the Su family told them how to eat them."
When the shopkeeper heard this, the teacup was not stable, and he hurriedly asked, "Then isn't this Fulai Restaurant also available?" ”
"Shopkeeper, don't be impatient, the town will only sell to us, don't worry." Master Zhang hurriedly explained.
How can Shopkeeper Qin rest assured, this is a big deal, and he must not let them get a chance. "No, I have to take the time to go to Su's house in person."
Master Zhang secretly glanced at the shopkeeper Qin, and saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, and wondered why the two brothers of the Su family came every day, why did the shopkeeper go to the Su family again, but he still didn't ask the shopkeeper Qin, and was called to the front by Xiao Er.
It's just that what Shopkeeper Qin didn't expect was that before he could take action, someone had already gone to Sujia Village before him.
The noon sun is just right, one or two carriages slowly stopped at the entrance of Sujia Village, the rural courtyard walls are low, and there are even fences around it, as soon as this carriage appeared, it attracted the attention of several families at the entrance of the village, and a few children ran out to chase and watch.
"Liu Gongzi, Sujia Village has arrived." When the carriage was parked, three people got out of it. When the man who came out first got out of the carriage, he saw several dirty children surrounded by the carriage, and one of them was wiping his nose with his sleeve. Deng Shi straightened his face and drove forward, "Go aside, there is not even a decent person in this poor and remote place." Phew..." Scolding as he glanced around. At a glance, who is this person not Liu Jinbao?
The tall man who accompanied him was called Wu Da, and there was a low one named Yu Er, who was the brother of the worshipper, and they were all masters who took people's money to eliminate disasters for others, and they looked quite fierce and vicious. This time they were called by Liu Jinbao because these two people had been used by Fulai Restaurant many times.
"Brother Liu, what now?" Wu Da looked around and asked.
A few days ago, Fulai Restaurant got the news that the fish balls in the Yingbin Building were all from a family in Sujia Village, and yesterday I heard that the family was going to start sending bean sprouts to the Yingbin Building. After Shopkeeper Liu found out, he immediately couldn't sit still, knowing that it was because of the fish. During this time, the business of Fulai Restaurant plummeted, and Liu Tongfu was scolded by the owner for not saying anything, and he was almost dismissed.
If it weren't for the vague reminder of Mr. Qian, who was settling accounts, Liu Tongfu wouldn't know that the person who sent the fish balls was the one who was driven away by Liu Jinbao that day. In the end, he pointed to Liu Jinbao and asked him to go to the family to apologize, and it was best to collect the fish balls and bean sprouts together.
Liu Jinbao was a little clever, and took the money that the shopkeeper Liu asked him to buy gifts for the Su family to invite the Wu brothers, and hired a carriage to give the Su family a dismount, a group of mud legs, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to clean them up?
"What to do? What else can I do? Ask. Liu Jinbao was resentful, and he didn't have a good face for the people around him.
Wu Da saw that this kid had such an obedient attitude, a pair of small eyes narrowed, and he was about to have a seizure, but Yu Er on the side stepped forward and hurriedly pulled it, and his eyes signaled him not to be excited. Walking up to Liu Jinbao, smiling and whispering to him, Liu Jinbao rolled his eyes, pulled the corners of his mouth and made a smile that he thought was very kind, took out a few pennies from his arms, and walked to a few children not far away.
The child was curious, and he was only a little farther away from being driven away by Liu Jinbao just now, and this time he saw Liu Jinbao coming with a strange smile, and a few timid ones moved back again.
"Little brother, come here. See what this is? Liu Jinbao took a few copper coins and rubbed them back and forth in his palm.
"My mother said that this is money, and you can buy delicious food." There was a bold child staring at the money in Liu Jinbao's hand and couldn't take his eyes off it.
Liu Jinbao sneered, "It's so smart, then do you want it?" ”
The child shook his head, then nodded hesitantly.
"Want? Then take me to the one that sells fish, and the money will be yours. Liu Jinbao continued to seduce.
"Fish seller, oh... I know, it's Second Uncle Su's family, my mother said, Second Uncle Su's family are all good people, are you a good person? The child who spoke tilted his head and stared at the strange man in front of him with a frown. It's like to see if he's a good person.
Liu Jinbao gritted his teeth and said word by word. "Of course my uncle is a good man."
The child lowered his head, bit his fingers and thought for a while, pulled up a slightly older little girl next to him, walked quickly to a short distance and whispered to him: "Big girl, you go to Second Uncle Su's house quickly, just say that there are bad people coming to his house." After speaking, he walked on his calves and ran to Liu Jinbao again, "I'll take you to Second Uncle Su's house." After speaking, regardless of Liu Jinbao's reaction, he walked away.
Liu Jinbao hurriedly beckoned several other people to follow, and the three of them followed a seven or eight-year-old boy in a carriage and walked towards the village. The little girl, who was called the eldest girl, saw them go far away and ran in the other direction.
In September, I boiled hot water and prepared to wash Chen Ye's hair. I was bedridden for several days without taking care of it, and when I was eating, I found that my long dark hair had begun to knot. With his consent, September took soap and began to wash his hair.
Chen Ye lay on the kang with his head stretched out, put the water on a waist-high stool in September, rubbed the soap horn in the water until it foamed, and slowly untied Chen Ye's hair and put it in the water to wet it.
"Chen Gongzi, did you also serve like this before?" September can't stand the quiet atmosphere, so open the conversation box first.
Chen Ye closed his eyes and didn't speak, and when he acquiesced in September, he sighed and thought that it was good to have a rich family, and even a maid would do it for him.
"Chen Gongzi, do you have a lot of maids? Are they well paid? Do you have any vacations? ”
Chen Ye felt the gentle touch on his head, listening to September asking inexplicable questions, he simply pretended to be dumb, he didn't know how to answer anyway. In the past few days, he has become accustomed to hearing some strange things from September's mouth, and he doesn't ask, sometimes September will explain, and sometimes even she herself doesn't notice what she said.
September knew that this person was a stuffy gourd, so he ignored him and continued to talk to himself, "Chen Gongzi, you said that you are so good-looking, do you have many fans?" Won't you be blocked when you go out? ”
Chen Ye listened to the chatter in his ear non-stop, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a big face in September, playing with his hair and laughing at Zhenghuan, pursed his lips to express his dissatisfaction. September suddenly met Chen Ye's open eyes, and she was almost fascinated again, the handsome guy was in front of her, she couldn't help it... This demon, this girl will accept you sooner or later.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I'm good-looking? Hey... Actually, I think I'm pretty good-looking. September pretended to be shy.
"You have eye droppings in the corners of your eyes." Chen Ye said word by word.
September's movements on his hands suddenly stopped, his face was panicked, and he quickly rubbed his eyes regardless of the wetness on his hands, and at the end, he took out the small mirror he brought with him and checked it carefully, making sure that his face was clean, and then said suspiciously: "Are you lying to me?" I just finished washing my face... Oh... I see, do you think I'm too noisy? You black-bellied man, I was kind enough to wash your hair. ”
Chen Ye saw her with a straight face, a bulging little face, and her mouth kept talking one by one, she felt a little cute inexplicably, and the corners of her mouth inadvertently rose.
It's just that September is still struggling with the hair on his hands, and he hasn't seen this fleeting brilliance. "Do you want to go outside in the sun after washing your hair? The wound on the leg will be fine, right? September asked that she had already suffocated to death if she stayed on the kang every day. It's going to be just the right amount of sunlight outside, just right to dry your hair.
Chen Ye glanced outside and said, "Well, it's okay." September then took a chair and placed it in the sunny part of the yard. took a cotton cloth and dried the water droplets on his hair, and then helped him slowly get off the kang.
Yun Niang sewed another cotton robe for Su Changlin in the main house, and when she saw that she was helping Chen Ye out of the house outside the window, she hurriedly took a newly made small mattress and went down to the kang.
"Jiu'er, why did you bring Chen Gongzi outside? Slow down, don't hold the wound. As he spoke, he folded the mattress, put it on the chair, and helped Chen Ye sit down.
Chen Ye said in a low voice: "Thank you, auntie." ”
"Yo, the stuffy gourd still knows how to say thank you. Hmph...... "September still remembered what happened just now, and his voice turned a corner to tease.
"You girl, how do you talk? Chen Gongzi, don't mind, this girl has been spoiled by us. ”
While speaking, September saw a small head at the gate, poked around, and thought about whose naughty child it was, and then played with a big heart, and quietly stepped forward, and sure enough, it was a half-old little girl, with two pigtails, looking at her nervously. "Hah...... Got you. ”
This little girl is the eldest girl. At this moment, he was frightened by the sudden appearance of September, seeing that the golden beans were about to fall, September hurriedly took a few pieces of preserved fruit brought back by Su Changsheng two days ago from the house and stuffed them into the little girl's arms, which made people smile.
In September, Yun Niang brought someone in, and when she saw it, she asked, "Big girl, why did you come to my house?" Are you alone? Yun Niang said and looked towards the door, making sure that no one came in behind, and looked at September suspiciously. September shrugged helplessly, she didn't know either, okay?
"Four dogs, let... Let me tell Second Uncle Su that the bad guys are coming... I'm coming for you. The eldest girl stumbled while eating the preserved fruit.
