As soon as Chen Xi spoke, the people knelt several more times and finally stood up, looking at her with shining eyes.

The Lord of Huaishan County is really beautiful!

No wonder Mr. Lin is immune to the temptation of vixens. With such a beautiful woman as his wife, how could Mr. Lin still be tempted?

Chen Xi was worried about how to promote his business. Now that the location of the store has been determined, he can finally promote it.

"Dear fellow villagers, I am very grateful to you all for coming to see me. From now on, this will be the first store of our 'Chen Kee' in Yunzhou. You are welcome to come to Chen Kee often to buy food in the future!"

As soon as Chen Xi opened his mouth, the people immediately started talking lively.

"County Madam, what kind of food does your family sell?"

"Are you selling pancakes? I like to eat fried pancakes the most!"

"Do you sell pancakes? The kind of pancakes that are as thick as a finger?"

"I like to eat noodles, do you sell noodles?"

"Madam County Mistress, are the food you sell expensive?"

"I only like to eat braised pork, I want to eat braised pork!"

There were all kinds of questions at once, but Chen Xi summarized several characteristics from them.

Wheat and corn are mainly grown in the northwest, and people are accustomed to eating pasta, mostly pancakes and noodles.

As the saying goes, do as the Romans do. Although Chen Xi still planned to sell steamed buns, he had already begun to consider selling pancakes and noodles.

"Dear fellow villagers, our Chenji specialty is steamed buns. Naturally, we will sell steamed buns at the beginning! But later on, we will also sell pancakes, all kinds of pancakes, scallion pancakes, soy sauce pancakes, thousand-layer pancakes, etc., as well as noodles. Mutton ramen, fresh meat noodles, three fresh braised noodles, etc., everyone can come and try them by then!"

Chen Xi just finished speaking

, I saw that some people had started to swallow their saliva.

"There are so many pancakes and noodles. We have ramen here. What kind of noodles are lo mein and braised noodles? What are thousand-layer pancakes and soybean pancakes?"

"I have eaten braised noodles in Zhongyuan. Which one tastes really good? Madam, the county mistress, your family can make braised noodles from Zhongyuan!"

"County Madam, when will your store open?"

Chen Xi took the opportunity and said: "I am going to sign a contract with the original owner now, and then I will renovate and open the business. It will not take more than a month at most. Please come and support me then!"

"sure!"

"Okay, if the county mistress asks us to come, we will definitely come!"

“You must try Chen Kee’s noodles!”

After interacting with the people for a while, Chen Xi entered the house under the escort of the guards and met his original owner.

The original owner was a middle-aged and bearded scholar, who looked like he had not been exposed to the weather.

"The common people pay their respects to the county chief!" He knelt down as he spoke.

Chen Xi quickly smiled and said: "Mr. Guo, please get up quickly." The original owner's surname was Guo, and Chen Xi liked this surname very much.

"Dong Guo, although you said you wanted to give me your house, I can't accept it. I've inquired and found out that your house costs 800 taels. I will give you silver at this price."

Mr. Guo immediately waved his hand: "No, no, this price is too high. The county owner only needs to pay me 400 taels!"

Chen Xi didn't care about the 400 taels of silver at all. She was afraid that others would know that she had lowered the price. If a bad reputation spread, it would be bad for her.

But she said: "Mr. Guo, don't refuse. If Mr. Guo doesn't charge me 800 taels, then I will have to make more trouble."

Looking for a house elsewhere. In fact, I really like Mr. Guo's house. The location is also good and it's not far from my home. "

Upon hearing this, Mr. Guo immediately said: "Then 800 taels will be spent on you, the county master!"

In the end, the contract was signed happily, and the house was successfully owned by Chen Xi.

After signing the contract, Mr. Guo seemed hesitant. Chen Xi asked, "Does Mr. Guo have anything else to say to me?"

Mr. Guo immediately saluted Chen Xi: "The common people actually have something to ask for, but they don't know how to ask?"

"Oh, Mr. Guo, it doesn't matter."

"The Cao Min's hometown is not in Yunzhou City, but in Cangzhou. It was only when there was turmoil in Cangzhou 15 years ago that the Cao Min family came to settle in Yunzhou. The Cao Min had seen the Huns coming into the city to burn, kill and loot, so they hated the Huns' cruelty. Unfortunately, the civilians are too weak to go into battle to kill the enemy!

On weekdays, ordinary people would wander around Xishan to cultivate their poetry. They accidentally discovered a small trail. They wanted to find some wild fun, but in the end they accidentally discovered that the mountain road leads all the way to Tubo territory. Cao Min has been keeping this incident in mind since then, and has tried to write letters to the adults in Yunzhou and the generals of the Tiger Roar Army, but unfortunately the letters have all fallen into the sea and there has been no news.

Later, the grass-roots people stopped doing useless work and could only pay more attention to the path. But starting from last year, the grass-roots people found that the path was getting wider and wider. The grass-roots people knew that it was the trace of people walking too much, and they were worried in their hearts. Who would have thought that not long ago, I heard that Mr. Lin and the county boss had caught a Tibetan spy who had entered the country on the street. The common people were really frightened and they were worried about how to find them.

I was able to tell the adults and the county lord this news, but I waited until the news that the county lord came to buy a house. Therefore, the common people came up with various reasons and wanted to see the county lord in person and tell the county lord this matter personally!

The grassroots believe that only wise and wise people like you and the county leader can defend Yunzhou, defend Dayue, and drive away the Huns and Tibetan enemies! The grass-roots people sincerely request the county lord and the adults to go to Xishan. The grass-roots people are willing to be the guides! "

Chen Xi never expected that Mr. Guo would say such words and reveal such important news.

Chen Xi smiled and said: "I don't know where Mr. Guo lives now. Can you leave an address? I will tell Mr. Lin what Mr. Guo said when I get back. I think Mr. Lin will definitely want to see Mr. Guo, so we might as well send someone to invite Mr. Guo. .”

Mr. Guo immediately said excitedly: "The grassman's surname is Guo Yangcheng, which means Yang of the sun and Cheng of achievement. The grassman lives in the second household of Xishui Lane. If Mr. Lin is willing to see me, he only needs to send someone to inform him! "

"it is good."

Guo Yangcheng then left with satisfaction.

Chen Xi smiled and said: "It seems that the people in Yunzhou City are very enthusiastic about making contributions to the country. This is good!"

"Yes, yes, I just saw the people outside talking about it, saying that once you and the general come to Yunzhou, the spies in Yunzhou will be caught, and Yunzhou will be safe."

Chen Xi smiled and nodded.

She saw a sense of energy from the people of Yunzhou City!

A sense of unity and cohesion towards the outside world!

Who is the most respected here?

Not a high official or a rich man, but a spy who was captured, the enemy invaders were killed, and the enemy was protected.

Heroes who defend their country are the most popular!

With such an atmosphere, even several places in Yunzhou and Cangzhou, like slender arms penetrating the enemy's country, have turned into steel fists to block the enemy's invasion!

Chen Xi discovered that she liked it here very much!
