Antique food: The general dotes on his lucky wife

Chapter 21 The Zhang family of the county magistrate’s wife

Chen Xi immediately gritted his teeth!

This was definitely done on purpose!

I just don’t know if it’s a business competitor or someone who has a grudge against their family, such as Wang Deshui of the Wang family and the Feng family!

Looking at everyone who was disappointed, Chen Xi must not show his depression anymore.

She pretended to be relaxed and said: "It's okay, we are the greatest luck if we are fine. If we encounter such a situation again in the future, we must not impulsively fight with others! We can leave green hills without fear of running out of firewood, under any circumstances We must protect our people first!"

When Chen Dajiang and others saw that they still needed a junior to comfort them, they felt even more ashamed and reluctantly cheered up.

"Yes, Xiao Xi is right. If we had left directly today, the box and quilt would not have been smashed to pieces. Now we have lost everything in vain!"

"Uncle, don't say that. It's our first time encountering such a situation. We have no experience! Oh, by the way, when you came into contact with those people, did you hear who they were?"

Chen Erhai said: "They seem to have mentioned that he is the son of the Zhang family, but I don't know which Zhang family."

Chen Xi looked at Mrs. Guo: "Mom, my uncle is a shopkeeper in the county. Can you ask me to find out who are the more powerful people named Zhang in the county? The important thing is that they are also in the cooking business." He acted so arrogantly. They are definitely not ordinary people, so it shouldn't be difficult to find out.

When Chen Xi mentioned it, everyone thought of it.

"Xiao Xi, are you saying that our steamed bun business is so good that others are jealous and deliberately looking for trouble?"

"It's not impossible. It's not that many people in the city come here to buy us.

Homemade buns? What if the bun-selling shop in the city was jealous, inquired about our family a little, found out what happened on my face, and deliberately resorted to this bad trick? "

Mrs. Guo shed tears and said immediately: "Okay, I will go to the city to find your uncle right now!"

"Mom, I'm with you."

Chen Erhai asked: "Then what should we do with the four boxes of steamed buns left today?"

Chen Xi pondered for a while and said: "After a while, the eldest uncle and the second uncle went to the village to ask, and they said that our family had something to do today, and there were still some buns left. The buns that originally cost three cents are now two cents each. It depends on whether everyone is willing to have it. Sell ​​as much as you can and sell the rest later!”

Yan Shi and Luo Shi nodded quickly.

Chen Erhai was unwilling to rest and had to drive an ox cart to send Chen Xi and Guo off. However, when they arrived in the city, the ox cart could not enter the city without the ox cart pass sign, so Chen Erhai could only wait outside the city.

Chen Xi and Mrs. Guo carried the basket filled with dozens of buns and walked towards the east of the city.

After the two elders of the Guo family passed away a few years ago, Guo's eldest brother Guo Yuchang moved his family into the city.

Guo Yuchang started working as a waiter in a bookshop in the city when he was young, and now he is the shopkeeper. He has been working there for decades.

Guo Yuchang has an only son, who is two years younger than Chen Xi. He is only fourteen this year. He is studying in the county school and is said to be quite knowledgeable. The Guo family's house is also near the county school, which is a good place.

But Guo Yuchang should be in the bookstore at this time, so Chen Xi and Guo came directly to the bookstore to find someone.

Soon, Chen Xi met this gentle and elegant uncle.

"Hello, Uncle."

"Xiulan and Xiaoxi are here, come to the backyard to talk."

Guo then put this

A few days ago, the Chen family started selling steamed buns under the guidance of Chen Xi.

"The business has been too busy these days. I originally wanted to wait until it stabilized before telling my brother, but who knew something like this happened today. Brother, do you know if there is any wealthy family in the county whose surname is Zhang? The son of the family is If you have a bad temper, you may still be in the cooking business at home.”

After Guo finished speaking, Guo Yuchang frowned instantly.

"Yes, there is one, but it shouldn't have anything to do with this matter."

"who is it?"

"The county magistrate's wife's maiden name is Zhang, and her family is in the restaurant business. The son of the Zhang family is [-] years old and is known in the county school as having a bad temper, but I heard from Xiao Yuan that he is not a bad person. And the Zhang family In the restaurant business, you, a small bun seller, don’t even have a proper shop, so how can you offend them?”

Guo Yuchang's meaning was very tactful. In fact, he meant that the Zhang family, the wife of the county magistrate, had a great business and looked down upon them at all, let alone deliberately ruining their business out of jealousy.

After hearing this, Chen Xi and Guo felt that it was not the Zhang family.

"Anything else?"

"This is the only one I know. I want to inquire about the others."

"Then please leave it to my eldest brother!"

Guo Yuchang waved his hand: "Don't talk about that. Since Xiao Xi can come up with the idea of ​​selling buns at the pier, she must have come out of the gloom! Right, our Xiao Xi is so smart, and we will have a better marriage in the future. Remember not to seek life and death again. , let your mother and family worry."

Guo Yuchang has been working in a bookstore since he was a child, and he has been exposed to all scholars. He has also developed a kind of preaching temperament.

But Chen Xi knew that he was doing it for his own good, so he nodded and said, "Yes, I know that my uncle is doing it for my own good, and I will be fine in the future."

Guo Yuchang nodded happily.

Guo and Chen Xi came in a hurry, so they only brought their own steamed buns. On the contrary, when they went back, Guo Yuchang bought them bruise medicine and asked them to take it back to give the three Chen brothers a good scratch.

On the way here, the two of them were carrying things and just focused on walking. Chen Xi didn't have time to look around, but on the way back, she looked around.

This was her first time entering the city since arriving here, and she had only stayed at the dock outside the city for a while.

Although Qingshui County is a county, its economy is still relatively prosperous because it has a relatively large dock.

There are open shops on both sides of the main street, most of which are two-story buildings, and occasionally there are three-story small buildings.

In this day and age, a three-story building is already a big deal.

Chen Xi watched her daughter looking around and sighed: "We're afraid we won't be able to open a shop on this street for the rest of our lives!"

Chen Xi immediately retorted: "That's not necessarily the case!"

Guo chuckled and said, "Okay, let's work hard then!"

After leaving the city, Chen Erhai asked about the situation. Guo told Guo Yuchang what he said, and Chen Erhai also had the same opinion.

But now they are blind in the city and know nothing. They can only wait for news from Brother Guo.

After returning to the village, I found that my house was full of people, all of whom were here to buy steamed buns.

Although two cents for a bun is a bit luxurious in the village, it is not unaffordable.

The Chen family's steamed buns are so famous that even city dwellers are rushing to eat them. They must try them.

How delicious is it!

After tasting it, I found it was really extraordinary!

Those who are well-off can buy seven or eight of them, which can be eaten by the whole family. Those who are not well-off can also buy one or two for their children to try. And those who need to visit relatives recently also buy a few as gifts for visiting relatives. Take action.

In the end, only thirty or forty of the five hundred buns were left, and the Chen family breathed a sigh of relief.

There is no need to prepare for business tomorrow, but the damaged wooden box quilt still needs to be remade, just in time to wait for news about Guo Yuchang.

I thought it would take at least two days to find out clearly, but who knew that early the next morning, Guo Yuchang came in a hurry with his whole family.

"Xiao Xi, no, the Zhang family you asked about yesterday is really the Zhang family of the county magistrate's wife's maiden family!"
