Chapter Twenty-Five: The Uninvited Guest
Mo Xiaoqi received a lot of orders at the table, and some people even directly took the gold ingots and asked her to build a wheelchair.
It wasn't until she walked to An Yize's table that An Yize took the lead in raising a glass to her: "Boss Mo, I didn't expect that I would abandon you, but instead fulfill you." ”
The meaning of these words is to tell everyone that Mo Xiaoqi, the boss of Kelaixiang, is an abandoned woman who he abandoned when he settled down.
I thought that Mo Xiaoqi's expression would change greatly, but I didn't want her to raise her glass confidently and said, "Young Master An, thank you for your success." ”
"Young Master An, who is this?" Those who have good deeds raise their eyebrows and ask.
"Oh, brother, don't you know, this Boss Mo used to be the young lady of my family." An Yize hooked his lips and smiled, "Since she left the An family, her cooking skills have increased inexplicably." ”
The implication is that Mo Xiaoqi is stealing a teacher and settling down.
"Oh? To put it this way, the craftsmanship of the An family cook. More than Boss Mo? ”
"Anjia also opened a restaurant, in the center of the city, Anping Restaurant." An Yize promoted his store in a timely manner.
An Yize wanted to say something, but Mo Xiaoqi took over: "Young Master An, how many catties and taels does your family's cook have, don't you know?" If the chef of Anping Restaurant is really good at cooking, then it is not me Mo Xiaoqi who is standing here today. ”
The guests were amazed by her sharp teeth and admired her intelligence. In fact, everyone can see that An Yize deliberately found fault.
"Mo Xiaoqi, what do you say, she was also my daughter-in-law." An Yize can only pick this kind of thing.
"But I'm not, and I won't." Mo Xiaoqi toasted to everyone at the table.
The banquet was about to end, and Mo Xiaoqi stood at the gate with the shopkeeper Bai Xi and Zhao Hongyi to distribute small gifts.
A small paper bag containing boiled sausages and pine eggs, as well as a piece of paper with the address of Kelaixiang.
"Xiaoqi, your business is really interesting." After sending off the last guest, Zhao Hongyi opened a paper bag and took out a pine egg to peel it.
"What's interesting?" Mo Xiaoqi kept looking at the last carriage, which was An's family. An Yize sat in the carriage and opened the paper bag.
Other people's paper bags are full of food, but his paper bag is a ball of waste paper.
"Mo Xiaoqi!" An Yize angrily threw the ball of waste paper out of the carriage.
Mo Xiaoqi, who saw this scene, retracted his gaze, but heard Zhao Hongyi say: "Of course it's interesting, give people something, just send a little bit, two pine eggs, and a cooked sausage." ”
"No, there's also a handful of crisp candy and a few pieces of braised dried tofu." Mo Xiaoqi added.
"Sending so many is not enough to stuff your teeth." Zhao Hongyi said, stuffing the dried tofu in the paper bag into his mouth.
Mo Xiaoqi smiled mysteriously: "Hehe, you don't understand this, if you send too much at one time and eat enough, who will come to my guest to buy something?" ”
"Isn't Kelaixiang a restaurant?" Zhao Hongyi raised his eyebrows and said.
Bai Xi on the side picked up the rest of the paper bag and opened his mouth and said, "Lord Zhao, you don't know, Boss Mo has ordered a small shop next to Kelaixiang, specializing in selling some snacks." ”
"Oh?" Zhao Hongyi was surprised by the speed with which she opened the store, "It expanded so quickly?" ”
"Well, when you have nothing to do, of course, you have to eat snacks. There are only a few kinds of dim sum in the rich people's houses, and I have some new tricks, of course they will find it novel. Mo Xiaoqi explained.
"But those high-ranking officials and nobles are not necessarily from Renshou County." Zhao Hong was puzzled.
"You don't have to worry, anyway, the people who run errands to buy it are not those dignitaries. Besides, this is to prepare me for the expansion of my store, and I won't be nested in a small county town all the time. Mo Xiaoqi smiled to himself, and took a pine flower egg and knocked it open.
"But I always have a bad feeling." It is said that a smooth sailing life never exists, and Mo Xiaoqi's ominous premonition comes from his mother-in-law.
Recently, my mother-in-law has always inquired about Bai Xi's income from the store, intentionally or unintentionally, looking at that appearance, the daughter she gave birth to is not a good person.
After the banquet in the Li Mansion, Kelaixiang's business was very good, and she took over several banquets in the neighboring counties. Because of the high price, she also thought about going.
And the newly opened snack shop next to Kelaixiang is also doing very well.
On this day, Mo Xiaoqi went out to hold a banquet for the county magistrate of the neighboring county, and when he returned to Kelaixiang on the second day, Bai Xi hurriedly ran over.
He squeezed his eyebrows, which made Mo Xiaoqi feel inexplicable.
"What's wrong?" Mo Xiaoqi frowned slightly, "Could it be that An Yize is making trouble again?" ”
"Oh, no, no, no. Boss, go in and see for yourself. Bai Xi pointed to the store, his face full of helplessness and worry.
"Okay, you two will go back to the back kitchen to help in a moment." Mo Xiaoqi instructed the apprentice he had just received.
Before she could enter the store, she saw a man and a woman standing by the counter, greeting customers.
It was them, Mo Xiaoqi suddenly felt funny, thinking that the ominous premonition in his heart came from his mother-in-law.
But I never expected that the stepmother who married the owner of her body here came, and with her was her half-brother.
She opened the memory of the original owner of the body, and this stepmother showed a vicious side since she married into the Mo family.
Not to mention beating and abusing Mo Xiaoqi, he showed how kind and great he looked in front of the child's father.
In winter, my brother wears a thick cotton jacket, but her cotton jacket is stuffed with reed flowers. It looks thick, but it's actually not warm, and the surface work is very good.
When she shivered with cold and huddled in a hut without a stove, her stepmother and her younger brother were holding the stove and drinking chicken soup.
When she finally grew up, she was immediately sold here as a cow and a horse.
What is it now? Knowing that she is rich, she came to flatter?
Mo Xiaoqi wants to laugh, should this stepmother think that she is still the original Mo Xiaoqi, and she deliberately came to show off her power and rob the family property?
Probably, there is a good drama to watch. Mo Xiaoqi sighed secretly, and said in her heart that if the stepmother didn't do too much, she would endure it, if it was too much, don't blame her for being polite.
"Oops, little chess! You're finally back, but you miss your mother. Mother arrived yesterday, I've been waiting for you for a long time. What kind of guys are you looking for, and let them take care of the accounts, and they are not afraid of hacking our family's money. ”
The stepmother pounced enthusiastically, but in Mo Xiaoqi's eyes, it was like an old hen fluttering her wings to grab food.
"Boss Mo, I'm not greedy for money." Bai Xi said eagerly, yes, there is no need for him to be greedy, doesn't he also have his dividends in the account?
"Go, go, who's going to tell your bookkeeper about this." The stepmother Mo Liu shook her hand at Bai Xi and let him cool off.
Mo Xiaoqi frowned and said, "Shopkeeper Bai, you go get busy first." I'll leave it to me. ”
"Dezi, come on, come on, call sister." Mo Liu beckoned his son Mo Xiaode over.
