Traveling through farming with the system, I cooked delicious food in ancient times
Chapter 245: Inquire about information
"Ah sneeze~" Mrs. Hu sneezed and wiped her nose with a handkerchief, "Old man, I think your method is completely useless! Look at Haoweilou's seafood supply as usual."
"At least I asked that girl Liu to postpone the sale until the evening. The seafood at night is definitely not as good as the seafood in the early morning."
"You're also telling me that the abalone rice cooked with abalone the next day is also selling like hot cakes." Mrs. Hu complained.
Shopkeeper Hu sighed and had to admire Liu Muxi's cooking skills. He had opened a restaurant for so many years, and this was the first time he heard of abalone rice.
"It seems that starting with the ingredients is of no use. She can always resolve the crisis. You asked someone to steal the cup from the candy shop. You see, she didn't just take the stock at home and make up for it on the same day."
Mrs. Hu remembered that day at the candy shop, when she was scolded by the ice cream shop, and she still felt a little unwilling.
"I originally wanted to marry her into our family so that she can be used by us in the future. If the business of Haoweilou becomes better and better in the future, our Qingxianglou will only be able to drink soup."
Yi Zhili hid outside the Hu couple's house and heard their conversation clearly.
"These two old foxes are indeed the ones behind the scenes."
Yi Zhili then went to the back room where the servant was resting and checked the soles of the servant's shoes.
The Hu couple were stingy and mean. Last time they followed him to the peach grove in the countryside to destroy glasses. On the same day, the servants who went up the mountain to cut down trees and create landslides had their soles worn out by the broken glass. He didn't see him changing their boots into new ones.
The two young servants were still complaining about their master in the yard.
Yi Zhili took one of the two servants' boots each, packed it in a bag, and hid aside to eavesdrop on their conversation.
"Gou Si, are your father's legs and feet feeling better?"
"Oh! Let's keep it that way. The master will deduct the monthly payment again this month. I don't have any money to buy medicine for my father."
"Why don't we go to the ghost market together next time we take leave? Maybe we can make a fortune."
"It's not that easy. We don't have any special skills. It's not like the little thief I found when I went to the ghost market last time. He just went to the candy store to steal a batch of glass bowls and glasses and got ten taels."
"It's true that money comes quickly. Although we don't have the time, we can sell information. I heard that people who go there to inquire about information can feel comfortable paying money."
"News?!" Gou Si rolled his eyes, "Yang Wu, I do know some news about Qingxiang Building, maybe it can be sold at a good price."
"Chirp ~ Chirp ~"
"What's the sound?" Yang Wu raised his broom and looked up at the wall.
As soon as a pear climbed over the wall and left Hu's house, the sound alarmed two servants.
"Meow~" The head of a tabby wild cat poked out from the wall.
"Ahem, a wild cat, what's all the fuss about." Gou Si spat on the ground, turned back to the house, and rubbed the soles of his feet, "Yang Wu, why did you take my boots?"
Yang Wu returned to the house: "I didn't take it! Hey, where is the boot on my right foot? One of my boots is missing too!"
"I also lost my right foot. It's strange. Who would steal a bad boot in broad daylight?"
In the Haowei Building, Li Bing found Mu Zhiyuan and Mao Xi with the stolen boots and the news.
"Shopkeeper Liu, I heard with my own ears that Shopkeeper Hu and his wife from Qingxiang House admitted that they stole the bowls and cups from your shop and took the servants to chop down trees and create landslides, blocking the way for Brother Xiao Hai to deliver seafood."
"Ah Shu, what are you going to do?" Mu Zhiyuan looked at Shu Xi.
"Shopkeeper Liu, don't be anxious. The two servants of Hu Mansion plan to go to the ghost market to sell the news about Qingxiang House to make some money. Maybe we can get information about Qingxiang House's business from their mouths."
"Really? That's great!" Shui Xi said excitedly, "What Shopkeeper Hu likes most is his Qingxiang Building. I have to teach him some lessons to let him know that Haowei Building is not something to be trifled with. Brother, when do you want to go to the ghost market, I will go with you."
"Ah Shu, you've been busy at the restaurant all day. It's better for me to go to the ghost market with Li Bing."
Although the ghost market mostly sells cheap second-hand goods, Mu Zhiyuan is still worried about Shui Xi going there late at night. Now it is shopkeeper Hu who is targeting her restaurant. Maybe there are invisible eyes staring at Shui Xi's restaurant and sugar water. shop.
"Sister, sister, I have a toothache~" Ajiao suddenly ran over and hugged Ma Xi's calf.
"Open your mouth and let me see if you have any cavities? I can't eat sweets anymore lately!"
Ajiao opened her mouth and Mao Xi checked her sister's teeth. Fortunately, there was no sign of tooth decay.
"Sister, what is tooth decay?"
"Tooth decay is caused by eating sweets every day. Bugs are making holes in the teeth. After that, the teeth become empty and the whole thing turns black. The whole thing has to be pulled out!"
When Ajiao heard that his teeth were about to be extracted, he hurriedly covered his mouth with both hands and muttered: "I don't want cavities!"
"I need to rinse my mouth after eating Tangtang. Sister, I still have something to do. Go and draw quickly."
Ajiao ran away in a hurry, took a small bowl with water, and gargled his mouth in a decent manner.
That night, after midnight, the night market opened.
Dog Si and Sheep Wu took leave to visit relatives and went to the ghost market.
Yang Wu set up a small table and hung a sign with the words "Inquiry for Bao" written on it.
Yi Zhili took Mu Zhiyuan to find these two young servants in the ghost market.
"Your Majesty, those are the two of them. The boots I took out from Hu's house yesterday also belong to these two."
Mu Zhiyuan walked to the stall, took a silver ingot, and slammed it on the table.
Sheep Wu and Gou Si immediately became energetic. This was their first time opening a business in the ghost market. Is this business coming?
Sure enough, as the legend goes, money comes quickly in the ghost market.
Gou Si rubbed his hands and said politely to Mu Zhiyuan: "Brother, what do you want to know? The two of us grew up in Kaitang County. There is nothing that we don't know."
"I want to ask you about Qingxiang House and Hu Xinrong, the shopkeeper of Qingxiang House. If the information is accurate, this ingot of silver will belong to you."
Yang Wu touched the silver ingot and couldn't put it down: "Uncle, you asked the right person. I can't guarantee anything else. We are very familiar with Shopkeeper Hu from Qingxiang Building. What do you want to ask? Tell me."
Dog Four took the silver ingot from Sheep Five's hand and gnawed it with his teeth.
Mu Zhiyuan nodded towards Yi Zhili, who took out the two lost boots from the bag.
Sheep Five and Dog Four recognized the boot as the one he lost.
"Uncle, why do you have our boots? These boots are sturdy and good, but unfortunately the soles are worn out. It would be a pity to lose them. If it weren't for the good material of the boots..."
Mu Zhiyuan interrupted Gou Si: "You are servants of the Hu Mansion, tell me everything you know about Shopkeeper Hu and his wife and Qingxiang Building, otherwise these two boots will send you to jail." A few days.”
