"Thank you, put it on the counter first, I'll try it!"

"Okay, it's delicious, I'll help you bring this to my shopkeeper to taste!"

"Taste? Fortunately, this is rare...... Characteristic? Okay...... Order? No, my family will make zongzi ......"

"What does this smell like? Phew, it's not delicious! Let's go, I've seen you every day for the past two days, is the teahouse about to close? ”

"Don't, don't, you're really annoying, don't come again, come to my store during work hours, I'll tell your shopkeeper later."

Jiang Han carried the sample rice dumplings made last night in his arms, took the saucer, and went to the nearby store to do publicity, and what he received after half a day was these similar reactions.

She sent them from the south end of Xixia Street to the teahouse, and when she walked the whole street, there were only three of the forty samples left.

Today, only zongzi were sold.

First, she thinks that zongzi belongs to the festival food, and the Dragon Boat Festival is coming, so she must hurry up and get the order.

Second, she made a hundred finished triangular dumplings last night, but only sold more than ten at the dock this morning, which is too far from her expectations, obviously on the dock, this kind of thing is not as popular as steamed buns.

Therefore, she decided to concentrate her firepower on the business of gift-giving from rich people, and the "rich people" she could contact were these shopkeepers on Xixia Street, although they were not rich and expensive, they also had some spare money and poverty.

It's just that in the past two days, except for the face sheet given by the acquaintances of the pharmacy, there are various reactions from other shops, but there is no warm welcome reaction.

For a while, she began to feel very uncertain.

Last night, when the zongzi was almost finished, I almost ambitiously asked Aunt Liu to borrow money, but fortunately I bit my mouth at the last moment.

Thinking of this, she sighed, held the saucer in both hands, and left with a stiff face, and walked to the restaurant next to the Jinyu Pastry Restaurant, which was not even allowed to enter the door.

She stood on the corner and took a closer look at the restaurant in front of her.

The owner of this restaurant may be like her, a crazy person who wants to get rich, and even gave it a name, called "Million Rice Village".

Million Restaurant is also a two-story building, just at the intersection of Xixia Street and the south bank of the Qinghe Canal, the location is very good, the view is broad, sitting in the store and looking up, you can enjoy the scenery of "the boat is upstream in the Qinghe Canal, and the pedestrians pass on the bluestone bridge".

The restaurant has doors on the left and right, and the area is twice as large as the teahouse.

It was late noon, and there were no customers in the store.

As soon as you approach the restaurant, the first thing that catches your eye is the carved staircase that leads up to the second floor at the corner of the street.

On the left side of the stairs, you can go out to the south bank of the Qinghe Canal, and enter the door with two rows of eight large square tables, one side by the window and the other against the wall. Sitting by the window, eating and chatting, while looking at the river view outside the window, it is also a little interesting.

The right side of the stairs is half smaller than the left, and the counter is located on this side. In front of the counter, there are only two square tables, and there is a door to the kitchen in the backyard next to the counter, and the overall layout is similar to that of the Lilai Teahouse, but the space is more compact.

Outside this side door is Xixia Street, and when you go out, turn right to Jinyu Pastry Shop.

I heard that the history of this Jinyu noodle shop is longer than that of Lilai Teahouse.

The pastry shop is also a two-storey home with a patio and backyard, similar to the Lilai Teahouse.

It's just that in recent years, there has been an accident in the shopkeeper's house, and only half of the façade of the shop on the first floor, half a patio and a few small rooms in the backyard have been reluctantly left, and the rest of the parts have all been sold to Million Dollar Restaurant.

Since then, the area of Million Restaurant has expanded to the size it is today, and the second floor of the restaurant has even been opened directly to the wall next to the Lilai Teahouse.

She looked at the door first, wanting to see if Fan Yiguang, the young man who had been close to her in the past two days, was not there.

It's a pity that she didn't see anyone, the guy who was busy at the counter at the moment, she also knew, but this person was a little difficult to deal with.

She looked in the direction of the teahouse, and didn't dare to delay too long, so she had to go straight forward.

……

"Daifuku, who is that person?"

When Jiang Han turned around and walked out of the right door of the restaurant, the shopkeeper, who was told that he was not there, led a tall and sturdy man down the stairs.

Before she left, she handed over all the remaining sample dumplings to this guy called Dafu, and he must hand them to the shopkeeper to taste, and asked him for a piece of paper, and wrote a few words crookedly and folded them and tied them to the bamboo rope of the zongzi.

What she did had already clearly fallen into the eyes of the shopkeeper and the men around him. The two were a little curious about this, and when they went downstairs, they called Daifuku to come over and ask.

"The shopkeeper, she is a guy from the teahouse next door, and she often comes to the store these days, listening to the meaning of his words, she should want to sell her buns and zongzi to us......" The guy named Daifuku pouted with contempt.

"The teahouse next door? Why did the shopkeeper sell steamed buns and zongzi? The shopkeeper of the restaurant frowned suspiciously.

"I listen to what he means, it should be his own!"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he looked like he couldn't laugh or cry: "My own? Are you saying that he doesn't work well in the teahouse and secretly comes out to find business for his family? ”

"Shopkeeper, your eyes are like torches! This is his rice dumplings! Daifuku handed the three sample dumplings to the shopkeeper with both hands.

The shopkeeper didn't take the zongzi, but reached out and took off the note tied to the bamboo rope and looked at it.

"Jiangjia meat dumplings, please find Lilai Teahouse Jiang Han to order", a few ugly big characters, crookedly squeezed on a large piece of paper......

"Oh, this guy is interesting!" The man next to the shopkeeper smiled.

However, they were only interested in Jiang Han as a person, and they were not interested in her zongzi.

The shopkeeper didn't even look at that dumpling again, and went out with the man.

……

Walking back to the door of the teahouse from the restaurant, Jiang Han dangled at the door of the teahouse with a saucer for half an hour, not even stopping a single guest.

At this time, Song Yaozu finished sending off the guests and came out with a saucer.

The two met head-on, Jiang Leng smiled at him with a gloomy gaze, but Song Yaozu trembled in his heart and looked ugly.

Last night his brother said that when he went out during the day, there were really ruffians who followed him not far away, and then two others wanted to come forward to arrest him, and he was so frightened that he ran home, closed the door and never dared to go out again.

Fortunately, his mother didn't get sick yesterday, otherwise what would she do?

He knew that those ruffians must have been arranged by Jiang Han, and it seemed that she had really come this time.

She must have wanted to give him a heavy blow by beating his brother, and only a two-skinned face like her, who dares to do anything, would do this without shame.

Since the morning, he has been hesitant to apologize to her honestly, have a good talk, and beg her to open up.

However, she doesn't seem to want to give him this opportunity, and has been deliberately avoiding him, as long as he is there, she will turn and walk away.

Now that he finally ran into it, what else did he have to hesitate about?

After thinking about it in his heart, Song Yaozu gritted his teeth and decided to bow his head temporarily, there is nothing wrong with compromise, at least life is more important than face.

"Hey, that...... It was me who was wrong that day! I apologize to you, you let my brother go, okay? ”

"Humph! I said, it's late! Stab me, spit out a few words like this, and just forget it? There are no doors, no windows! ”

"I ...... So what do you want? ”

"I don't know! I was stabbed, my heart was very hurt, I didn't have enough blood and energy, I didn't have time to think about what to do......" Jiang Han looked like a ruffian and deliberately talked nonsense.

"You!" Song Yaozu's face turned blue because of her strange words, thinking of his purpose, he took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Isn't it okay for me to double the sixty wen you said last time?" ”

"Let's stop fighting, let's cooperate, you put forward conditions, as long as I can bear it, I will agree! That's all right, right? ”

Listening to Song Yaozu's words, Jiang Han was extremely proud.

It's only been one day, this kid can't stand it, what a soft bone!

I don't have the ability, I still want to be double-faced!

It is necessary to let him be frightened for a long time, and leave a profound lesson, so as not to make mistakes again in a short time.

Thinking of this, she said: "A villain like you, talking is similar to fart, who knows if what you said is true or false, whether it is lying to me?" ”

"I'm serious, if I lie to you, you can let people beat me again!" Song Yaozu said seriously.

"Really? As for the compensation—my heart is hurt, I'll have to ask it carefully, and when it answers me, I'll tell you!" ”

This inexplicable sentence made Song Yaozu stunned on the spot, but she arrogantly pushed Song Yaozu away and went back to the teahouse.
