Cai Lihua covered the pot and wiped her hands and said, "It's the Snow Lady who praised my dishes for being delicious." ”

Ah Jiu gasped, and suddenly brightened.

She is a legendary figure Concubine Chang, a far-sighted woman who understands the art of war and can govern.

Seeing that his daughter was surprised, Meng Shaode squeezed in front of the stove to roast his hands and added:

"I really didn't expect that the eldest sister had a lot of ideas, there were too many businessmen at that time, Ma Peng blocked people outside the city, saying that you confessed, I was afraid that it was the officers and soldiers from the outside world, so I didn't dare to let it go, it happened that Mrs. Xue came to the house to find you, and asked if you came back, and I didn't want to run into it, so she paid attention to me and your mother.

No matter how stupid I was with your mother, I learned how to do it, so I talked to those merchants one by one for an afternoon, and the matter was carried out, and the people were quite happy. ”

Ah Jiu was thoughtful, she also helped a lot indirectly.

"It seems that there is more than that, what is that Snow Lady telling at the end?" Cai Lihua clutched the spoon thoughtfully.

"Look at your memory." Meng Shaode has an opinion: "Mrs. Xue said that if a merchant wants to live in Menghua City, he must follow the rules of the trading house, since he applies to come down to the business, he cannot occupy the land, and the merchant and the farmer must be separated in order to balance the exchange." ”

"Yes, yes, that's it." Cai Lihua lifted the lid of the pot and put the dumplings into the pot: "Get off this grate first, and then go down if you don't have enough to eat." ”

Ah Jiu was thoughtful, and Mrs. Xue was right in her analysis.

As soon as a large plate of dumplings for one person was served on the table, Hua Ling came with Mrs. Xue.

Cai Lihua was overjoyed: "Mrs. Xue, please take a seat, last time you praised my dishes for being delicious, this time try the dumplings." ”

Madame Xue saluted elegantly: "Mrs. Xie Meng is hospitality." ”

"You're welcome, now the big guys are all uprooted and finally settled, no, Xiao Nian, the day of reunion, we should get together to celebrate and celebrate."

Last time, Cai Lihua happily cracked her mouth to the ear, but this time she was even more enthusiastic, waiting for Mrs. Xue to taste it and praise it again.

"Mother, the dumplings you make are the best in the world, but you can't stare at others like this." Ah Jiu was amused by his mother's appearance.

"You eat yours." Cai Lihua likes to praise people who have never eaten the dishes she cooks.

Until Mrs. Xue slowly ate a mutton dumpling and said with joy in her eyes: "It's delicious, it's really delicious." ”

Cai Lihua let her go: "Eat more if it's delicious, Alain, you eat too, you are all guests, if you can't finish the big plate of flower bells, don't sleep." ”

shouted at the person and moved the chopsticks satisfied.

When she was almost eating, Mrs. Xue put down her chopsticks and said, "Why didn't you see Xue Zhen?" ”

"He's in the dead house." Hua Ling stuffed a dumpling in her mouth angrily.

"Dead ...... He's dead? Lady Snow's face turned pale instantly.

"What nonsense?" Ah Jiu glanced at Hua Ling: "He meditates in the house, and sometimes he really can't hear people calling him." ”

"That's right......" Lady Snow suddenly tasteless.

Ah Jiu could see that Mrs. Xue was not here for the New Year's dinner at all, but specifically to find Xue Zhen.

It's strange to say, when he returned to the city the day before yesterday, Ah Jiu told him to go to see Mrs. Xue, but he didn't expect to see him for the past three days, and Xue Zhen didn't go and didn't say that he couldn't come out of the house where he was.

He must be deliberately avoiding Lady Snow.

That's it, let's eat first.

Sure enough, until the tea was drunk after the meal, Xue Zhen did not appear.

Mrs. Xue took this opportunity to talk about her plan for the management of merchants in Menghua City:

"In terms of rent, it is easy to do, and the rent can be waived for the first three months, which can not only attract more businessmen to settle in, but also promote the development of Menghua City, which will not be inferior to Kyoto City in the future, but it is best to choose a capable person to be in charge."

Ah Jiu's eyes lit up when he heard this, this is a good idea: "Well, Mrs. Xie Xue mentioned that when the time comes, you can allocate the premises and real estate according to the personnel, and the sale and lease will be in charge of paying taxes, which is the best of both worlds." ”

Madame Snow glanced at the sky outside and frowned:

"It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first and come back another day."

Seeing off Mrs. Xue, Ah Jiu knocked open Xue Zhen's door as soon as he came back.

This time, the door opened suddenly, and Xue Zhen asked calmly, "Gone?" ”

"Are you really avoiding her on purpose?" Ah Jiu's eyes widened.
