Chapter 199: The original owner of Poria Cocos
The female runner was stunned for a moment, and then instantly smiled again: "Of course you can, I don't know what the guest officer has to do with our shopkeeper?" Did you make an appointment with our shopkeeper in advance? β
This time, Xia Huai was stunned, and a lot of things floated through her mind for a moment, but in the end it only turned into a dry sentence: "No, but I do want to meet your shopkeeper, can I introduce me?" β
The female ran hall didn't speak, only gently stretched out her right hand and gestured to Xia Huai to please follow.
Xia Huai followed the women's running hall to the second floor, the second floor was arranged into small boxes, and it could be seen from the outside that the boxes were divided into several specifications, but the women's running hall led her to the smallest box: "Guest officer, please sit down and have a cup of tea first, our shopkeeper should go to the back kitchen again, wait a while~"
Xia Huai nodded and looked at the desktop. I saw two plates of dim sum and a pot of tea on the table, and next to the teapot were four teacups with pale cyan glaze.
The female running hall took the opportunity to look at the situation and said with a slight smile: "Guest officer, this is the new tea and snacks that have just been served, you can use them, of course, if it doesn't suit your taste, I can get a new one for you." β
Xia Huai shook his hand slightly: "No need, that's fine." She looked around and saw that there was nothing to clean her hands of, so she took this to heart and picked up a piece of snack and tasted it.
With the experience of going to Poria Cocos Cloth Village last time, Xia Huai could guess that this pastry was also from Poria Zhai. After all, Poria Zhai is a hot-selling pastry shop in Huating County, and it is a store under Poria Cocos, is it possible that they put a good pastry in Poria Cocos Zhai and don't use it, and deliberately buy something else to use? !
After eating two pastries and half a cup of tea, a hearty smile came from outside the door: "Hahaha, I don't know that the guests are coming from afar, Jiuniang is really rude!" β
"Crystal, tell the kitchen to bring up all the signature dishes, and take two pots of osmanthus stuffed, I want to stay with this girl without getting drunk!"
Xia Huai was shocked by Jiu Niang's self-cooking, stood up in surprise, and when she raised her eyes, she saw a woman in her early thirties wearing a crimson dress walking in a hurry. β
Xia Huai was stunned, and the surprise on his face was embarrassed by the thick embarrassment.
Who can tell her, why there were greasy men in ancient times?! Oh no, it's still a beautiful woman on the other side, why is she talking so greasy!
Although, she is quite happy to listen to it?
Seeing that Xia Huai's face was a little embarrassed, Jiuniang put away her exaggerated expression and stretched out her slender jade hand with a straight face: "I'm sorry girl, I can't help but talk more when I see beautiful things, I have a single name of Jiu, you can call me Jiuniang." β
"Alright, please sit down!"
Xia Huai took the opportunity to sit down: "Jiu Niang, I took the liberty of disturbing you." My surname is Xia, a single name is a Huai, the wood ghost is Huai, you can call me Xiaohuai. β
"That's right, I just came to Huating County and found that there are many shops in Huating County that start with Poria Cocos, such as Poria Restaurant, Poria Cloth Village, and Poria Zhai, I want to ask, are you a proprietor?"
In fact, these Xia Huai already know, but to find out the news, it is natural to show that you don't know anything! Besides, it also gives a good impression to the other party.
I'm really curious about you, but I didn't ask outsiders about you, I just went to your people to ask for news!
Sure enough, the smile on Jiu Niang's face was more real: "It turns out that this is true, our owner is a person, in fact, before our owner, there was an original owner, she is a legendary woman."
The more Xia Huai listened, the more frightened she became, without him, she always felt that the original owner who created the Poria chain store also crossed over!
But as soon as people wear it, they are dressed as the queen of the former dynasty, and with a wave of their little hands, they can do whatever they want. Not only the Poria chain store, but also the introduction of relatively simple but convenient farming tools and the development of high-yield seeds.
In short, her status even overshadowed the previous emperor! But the emperor of the previous dynasty loved her deeply, and instead of being angry, he was even more merciful to her.
These should have given her a good end, but the ministers of the court and the central government repeatedly met with her and asked the former emperor to abolish the post of empress.
There are even outrageous rumors among the people that the queen is a monster.
Suddenly, one day, the queen disappeared. And she disappeared while pregnant.
The emperor of the previous dynasty collapsed, and finally under the attack of the current emperor, a generation of kings died, and a generation of prosperity was extinguished.
Xia Huai only felt chills all over her body after hearing this, but fortunately, her idea was very simple, and she didn't have any special ambitions.
I just want my family to be fed, clothed, and live well.
The only big dream is to let Rui Ge'er or the people of the Lao Xia family read and become famous, and raise the threshold of the Lao Xia family.
It's not that she attaches great importance to fame and fortune, it's just because you have the right not to be bullied.
At the very least, you can be less bullied.
After Xia Huai sighed about the fate of the queen of the previous dynasty, he felt sad, sad and pity for what happened to her, but at the same time, he reminded himself all the time in his heart that he must be cautious in his words and deeds in the future, and he must not expose his feet, especially not let the golden finger be discovered!
Before, she was naΓ―ve and thought that if she stayed with Lao Xia's family for a long time in the future, she might be able to tell her father and mother about her golden finger.
Now it is not possible, even the closest people, it is difficult to ensure that they are not negligent. What if one day you slip out? Or, what if someone cheats you?
Xia Huai knew that Zhou Huiniang was a little suspicious of her, but Zhou Huiniang never asked, so Xia Huai pretended not to understand. Originally, if she asked, she would explain vaguely.
Now it seems that if there is really a day when she is questioned by Zhou Huiniang, she can only pretend to be stupid!
Jiu Niang's hand waved in front of Xia Huai's eyes: "Miss Xia? Summer girl! β
Xia Huai suddenly came back to his senses and said in a daze: "Huh? β
Jiu Niang looked at her with a little worry: "What's wrong with Miss Xia?" I just called you for a while, but I didn't see your reaction, so scared that I almost called a car to carry you to the hospital! β
The second half of this sentence was a joke, Xia Huai could naturally hear it, she grinned and explained: "Ah, I'm mainly too shocked, I didn't expect such a powerful person, unexpectedly"
Jiuniang nodded in agreement, looked left and right, and then whispered: "I'll tell you this, but I can't spread it!" Actually, many of the older generation know about this, but they don't dare to say it, you know! β
Xia Huai bowed his head and was about to say something, when suddenly a rich fragrance came to his nose.
Outside the box, a string of waitresses came in with trays.
Jiuniang turned her head to look at Xia Huai's eyes, and couldn't help but be happy, clasped her hands together, and patted: "I happened to be hungry, and this meal came, it's not a coincidence!" β
