Because An Ruo is building a house and spending money to buy berries that don't need money in the eyes of the villagers, all the villagers feel that Granny Mo's grandfather and grandson are running from time to time, and a rich niece is coming, and the family is going to live a good life.

There are those who are envious, and there will naturally be those who are jealous, especially the so-called uncle's family who scolded Chunhua that day.

Not only did they have to go to the new house every day to see it, but they also pretended to be overseers, as if the house was going to be lived in by their family in the future.

An Ruo felt that if it weren't for the fact that the house hadn't been built yet, and most of the gold and silver would be spent in the future, I was afraid that the family would be able to find some reason to take the house for themselves now.

However, An Ruo is not worried about this, Fang Ce is now waking up more and more every day, obviously his injuries are getting better significantly, and Xiao Zhan is nourished by various game meats every day, except that they sleep poorly every night, there is really nothing to worry about.

After all, as long as Fang Zhi is good at it, where is the murderous aura cultivated by fighting on the battlefield, where can ordinary villagers dare to resist.

There are annoying things, but what occupies more of An Ruo's mind is the happy things.

The berry jam developed by An Ruo has now been sold in Qin County, and there are even pastry shops ordering from Granny Mo on a daily basis.

An Ruo suspected that Granny Mo was reluctant to sell the recipe, so she had no choice but to repeat the day's rhetoric.

"Mother-in-law, now that we have the help of the villagers, we can't do this jam business for a few days, after all, the berries on this mountain are out of season. Mother-in-law might as well take this opportunity to sell the recipe for jam, we have no other source of fruits and vegetables, but there is no shortage in the restaurant, they will not lose, we will not lose, this is a win-win way. ”

An Ruozhi inked until Granny Mo recognized her statement, and she did have a restaurant to contact her, and she was ready to sell the house tomorrow before she stopped.

What An Ruo didn't say was that with her years of experience in wandering outside, she had to be a person and do everything in moderation, how big a bowl was and how much rice she had, otherwise it was not a rare case to die.

However, on the second day, until the sun set in the west, An Ruo did not see Granny Mo returning to the village.

An Ruo secretly said that it was not good, but looking around the house, Chunhua was young and anxious, Xiao Zhan held An Ning and took care of Fang Ce, as for Fang Ce, not to mention that she hadn't recovered from her injuries, she was recuperate, and she didn't dare to take people back.

In desperation, An Ruo had to hurriedly go to Village Chief Xu, and told Granny Mo that she had not returned so far, and that she was worried that she would be angry because of the profit of the jam recipe, and that Granny Mo would encounter unforeseen problems.

Village Chief Xu was obviously a responsible person, so without saying a word, he pulled out the family's ox cart, took his son and An Ruo, and hurried to Qin County.

Seeing An Ruo's anxious face, Village Chief Xu had the intention to ease the atmosphere, and said, "But you are tired of building a house during this time?" I see you're a lot darker than the other day. ”

An Ruo, who deliberately blackened his face, pursed his lips, and in order to avoid suddenly coming back one day in the future to arouse suspicion, he had to say perfunctorily: "Maybe it's because I just rubbed some cigarette ash on the stove, it doesn't matter." Uncle Xu, who do you know in Qin County, otherwise we will look for the past in such a daze, and I am afraid that we will not find Granny Mo tomorrow. ”

When Village Chief Xu heard this, he no longer bothered about An Ruo's face, and turned his attention to business.

"I'm familiar with the county magistrate of Qin County, I can ask if I go, if Granny Mo is because of a crime, she will definitely be sent to the government, if not, I'm afraid I will have to ask around." Do you know where Granny Mok sells on weekdays? ”

An Ruo carefully recalled what Granny Mo said, and said uncertainly: "At first, it was in the bazaar, and then there was a fixed supply with Fu Ji pastries, according to Granny Mo's statement yesterday, there should be a restaurant today that wants to buy this jam, maybe we can go to the restaurant and ask." ”

Village Chief Xu's brows furrowed, and the group quickly rushed to the city.

After visiting the county and making sure that Granny Mo was not sent to prison, the three quickly dispersed to find it after discussion.

An Ruo went straight to Fu Ji pastry, stepped forward and asked: "Shop, I am the niece of Granny Mo who serves the jam, Granny Mo has not returned yet, I want to ask if Granny Mo has sent the jam today?" ”

The shopkeeper was a charming young woman over thirty years old, and after glancing at An Ruo and seeing that no one was paying attention to this place, she whispered: "I have already sent the jam this morning, but I don't know where Granny Mo has gone." It's just that if I say something from my heart to you, you will also persuade Granny Mo. The Sun family restaurant has coveted this jam recipe for a long time, and that family doesn't have a good reputation, so if you buy this recipe early, it won't be worried about the other party. ”

The store didn't mention where Granny Mo had gone, but this Sun family restaurant was obviously very problematic.

An Ruoluo groaned slightly, and immediately found Village Chief Xu's father and son on another street.

Village Chief Xu said: "I have inquired with people and beggars nearby, and they all said that Granny Mo was invited in by Sun's restaurant after selling all the jam, but it is not clear whether she came out or not. ”

The information was so clear, the three of them no longer hesitated, and immediately walked towards the Sun Family Restaurant, and when they entered the restaurant, they made their intentions clear.

"You say Granny Mo, who sells jam? We did invite people over, but they're long gone! ”

The shopkeeper with squinted eyes saw that the three of them couldn't do it, and deliberately took out a receipt with a fingerprint.

It is obviously written that the Sun family restaurant has monopolized the recipe of berry jam with ten taels of silver, and even it is written that even Granny Mo's own family can no longer make and sell it.

"This will definitely not be signed voluntarily by Granny Mo, not to mention that the price of a bottle of jam in retail outside is half a tael of silver, but we have also signed an agreement with Fu Ji Pastry, which is supplied every day, it is impossible to sell the recipe to your house at the same time, and we are not allowed to make and sell it ourselves."

When the shopkeeper saw An Ruo say this, he immediately changed his expression, and said arrogantly: "It is written in black and white, how did you do it, that is, to go to the lawsuit, in front of the county commander, I am also the one who takes the reason." ”

An Ruo pursed her lips, now is not the time to care about the authenticity of this contract, finding Granny Mo is the key.

"Since you said that Granny Mo left from you, then you have to make it clear what time Granny Mo left, from which door, and who the witnesses are, otherwise, I can also go to the county government to sue you, covet this jam recipe, and trick Granny Mo into signing this contract, and she is unwilling to pay, and she is murdered!"

As soon as he said this, the shopkeeper was obviously a little anxious, and immediately retorted: "Maybe Granny Mo is carrying a huge amount of silver taels and running away by herself!" ”

When Village Chief Xu heard this, he immediately scolded: "Nonsense, don't say that Granny Mo still has a granddaughter who depends on her life and will not be discarded, but now Granny Mo's house is building three tiled houses, where can you still see your ten taels of silver." Shopkeeper, if you refuse to hand over Granny Mo, I will really go to the county magistrate to ask for an explanation. Don't think that we are countrymen and have no support, as the village head, I am very familiar with the county lord. ”

The shopkeeper's face changed for a while, and he shouted, "Heh! Who knows if what you said is true or not, the old woman also said that she knew the young master of the Fang family. Bah! There is no Fang family in this Qin County, and it is all nonsense here. ”

An Ruo's heart sank, the shopkeeper's words revealed too much, obviously Granny Mo had a dispute with the shopkeeper, and tried to scare the shopkeeper in the name of Fang Ce, and now the shopkeeper is afraid that he will not cry if he doesn't see the coffin, and only by calling the adults of the county can he have a turnaround.

"Uncle Xu, you go and invite the county lord. Brother Xu, you and I blocked the front and back doors of this restaurant respectively, and never took a step back until the county lord came. ”
