"But no matter how capable he is, he is only one person."

"What if you're accompanied by a bunch of mud legs?"

"A group of local dogs and chickens gather quickly and disperse quickly."

The string of rosewood Buddhist beads in Zhang Sanqian's hand suddenly cracked and scattered all over the ground.

Some also smashed on Zhang Li.

Not light, not heavy, not painful or itchy.

……

As the Li family thought, it was impossible for the other four major families to let go of the opportunity to make money.

Even if they have the support of officials behind them, in the final analysis, they are not willing to let go of this piece of fat, let alone what they can grasp.

So, the four major families got the news, and one carriage after another drove through the muddy path of Huanshan Village, crossed the difficulties and obstacles, and came to Chen Qi's house.

The small courtyard was filled with fireworks, and from time to time there was the sound of women's laughter.

Suddenly, the faces of the few people who came to visit became delicate.

Especially when I see people who are familiar with me, and I have had a dirty relationship with myself.

"Wang Laoxiong, why are you here?"

"Huh...... Brother Sun, you can come, why can't I come? ”

"Okay, you two don't quarrel, do you want to quarrel until dark and return in vain? Let the Li family take all the benefits, and ride on our heads as a blessing? ”

After some reminders from the man, the other two stopped arguing, but fell silent.

glared at the other party, snorted coldly and turned his head away.

"This is Chen Qi's house, right?"

The person who had not spoken suddenly spoke up, and the other three families were obviously not as good as him, and they gathered around him and said flattering words.

"Yes, yes, Steward Wang has good eyesight, this is Chen Qi's house."

"Steward Wang, why are you here here? Is there anything we can't do? ”

Steward Wang, who was surrounded by him, glanced at the three of them, snorted coldly, and didn't give them a good face at all.

"Of course, it's for the prefectural order."

"A few people, do you also want to hold the tofu business in Chen Qi's hands?"

Steward Wang's expression was chagrinous, and he glanced at them lightly, but he could see that they were empty-hearted.

"What is this that Steward Wang said!"

The three of them smiled awkwardly, not mentioning the tofu recipe at all.

The four of them chatted for a while, and then they saw a gentle woman approaching, combing her hair, and her coarse linen clothes could not hide her appearance.

Presumably, this is Chen Qi's wife, right?

When a few people took a closer look, she was still holding a basket of things in her arms.

Red, red, green and green, it is eye-catching.

"Stay."

Steward Wang stepped forward and stopped the woman who was about to leave.

When he was called, he hesitated, and when he looked up again, he saw that the small courtyard was full of people standing in front of the gate, not to mention that the clothes were new, at least ninety percent new.

She looked left and right, pointing at herself suspiciously, "Are you calling me?" ”

The woman is none other than Song Xinyue.

"It's you who called, you are Chen Qi's wife?"

Steward Wang looked at people with contempt, as if if he would dirty his own eyes when he looked at her more.

"Hurry up and call Chen Qi out, just say that I was ordered by the county order to ask Chen Qi for a tofu recipe!"

"If only he gave it. If he doesn't give ......"

"Humph! See you in the prison of our county government! ”

After Steward Wang finished speaking, the expressions of the people around him became very strange, as if they were unwilling and fearful.

Song Xinyue, who seemed to be frightened, took a step back, looked at them deeply, and ran back to the backyard with a chili pepper to call Chen Qi.

"A small county order, thinking that he is the emperor of a soil?"

After Jiang Yunying listened, she finished sprinkling the last handful of chili peppers, and her face was gloomy.

"Wife, you're wrong. He is the Emperor of the Earth. ”

Chen Qi's face on the side was also dark, "That's it, I'll go out and meet them." ”

Jiang Yunying frowned slightly, the expression on his face was solemn, "Then you should be careful." ”

"Oops! Why are you here? You shouldn't stand, you should sit and be welcomed in by me! ”

Chen Qi walked to the front yard and welcomed the four of them in, but his tone was a little weird.

They should have been in a carriage and leveled his courtyard, but the four who had always looked above the top did not hear it.

Even in their usual thinking, they thought that Chen Qi was currying favor with them.

Chen Qi smiled and poured a cup of tea for the four of them, "My lord, you drink tea!" ”

Poof-

Immediately, someone spit out, pointing at Chen Qi's nose and scolding.

"What kind of broken tea is this?!"

"Chen Qi! How dare you fool us with such rotten tea? ”

"Who gave you the guts?!"

A playful smile appeared in Chen Qi's eyes.

The tea was no different from what Steward Li drank that day, but it was ......

This group of people is used to being majestic, and they will not tolerate it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have been wronged!"

"How dare I fool you! This is the best tea in my house! ”

Chen Qi picked up the tea bowl and poured a big sip, with a wronged expression on his face.

The expressions of the four of them were very exciting, and only the county commander's housekeeper Wang was very disdainful.

Immediately, Steward Wang was able to slap the table and looked at Chen Qi suspiciously, "Hurry up and hand over the tofu recipe." How? Want to disobey the orders of the prefectural magistrate? ”

Chen Qi shivered at the right time, trembling: "Give!" To give! I'll give it! ”

Steward Wang smiled disdainfully.

He thought it was some kind of hard stubble, but in the end it was just a papier-mâché tiger, and he handed over the recipe in casual scare.

I don't know why I didn't give it before?

However, Steward Wang didn't think about it deeply, after all, the recipes were almost there, so what if he thought about it again?

"Great, sir, this is the recipe." Chen Qi handed the recipe to Steward Wang, with humiliation and unwillingness in his eyes.

It stimulated Steward Wang very much and made him very happy.

He likes to see that others don't like him, and he can't do what he looks like.

Although the other three families were greedy, they didn't dare to come forward to see it because of the position of the lord of a county, and they didn't even dare to ask for it, so they could only sit stiffly and stare at it.

But who is Chen Qi?

He took four copies and distributed them to several stewards one by one.

"Thank you, Steward Wang!"

"If it weren't for the prestige of the county order, we wouldn't have been able to get this thing."

Several housekeepers winked at Steward Wang, whose face was as black as ink, and even deliberately stimulated him.

Although Steward Wang was angry, he didn't dare to speak out, he could look down on the housekeeper of the family, but he had to pay attention to the family behind them.

So he didn't stop and went straight away.

The rest of the housekeepers were also not boring, and they all said goodbye to Chen Qi with a smirk and left his dilapidated house.

"Chen Qi is really stupid, I thought he was an unyielding person."

"Hehe, in the face of a behemoth that is more powerful than himself, a smarter person will think about protecting himself."

"Poof—after all, he's a powerless talent, what can he do to compete with us?"

A few people went out, and their eyes were full of disdain for Chen Qi.

"Adults, can you pause?"
