Zhao Shuen was even more interested. She waved her hand and said, "No, no, no! As the proprietress, I naturally want to contribute to the Xu family's property. You, the shopkeeper, just sit aside and rest, and I'll take care of it."

As he said this, a man who looked like a butler came to buy seafood.As soon as he entered the door, he said, "Give me a catty of shark's fin and five catties of scallops. That's right, how is the fish maw lately?"

The shopkeeper was about to step forward, but Zhao Shuen stepped forward and said with a smile: "Guest officer, do you want shark fin, scallops and fish maw? Our Xu's seafood is definitely the best and most complete in Renxiao City gone."

The housekeeper paused, looked Zhao Shuen up and down for a while, seeing that the woman was young and well-dressed, she really didn't look like the shopkeeper, so he hesitated and said, "You are?"

"I am the proprietress of this store!" Zhao Shuen said proudly.

"Oh, it turned out to be the proprietress. Disrespect and disrespect. How about this, give me a catty of golden hook wings, five catties of scallops, and a catty of fish maw. Our old lady loves seafood from your Xu family. They are all regular customers, Would it be cheaper?"

"Okay, okay, of course." Zhao Shuen responded with a mouthful, turned around, and suddenly felt stupid when facing thousands of small drawers.She has no idea where the things the guests want are placed.Luckily, Chunni said next to him: "It's written on it." Then Zhao Shuen walked forward and followed the signs to take out the things one by one.

Zhao Shu'en took out a whole shark's fin, a drawer of scallops and a bag full of fish maw and put them on the counter, then blinked and asked, "Is this what you want?"

The butler looked at it, nodded and said, "How do you count?"

Zhao Shuen tilted his head and thought for a while, then said casually, "Can I charge you a tael of silver?"

"Hey!!" Suddenly three voices rang out in the room, and I saw Chun Ni, the shopkeeper, and Xiaoer all rushing over. Hippie smiled and apologized: "Our lady boss likes to joke. Hahaha, the guest officer comes here with me, and I will settle the bill for you. Since I am a regular customer, can I send you some bird's nest? Remember to help me next time Ah." After that, the shopkeeper led the butler to a place far away from Zhao Shuen to settle the settlement.

Zhao Shuen looked at Chun Ni with a puzzled face and asked, "What's the matter, am I considered expensive?"

"Oh, my eldest lady! If you do business like this, Xu's seafood will close sooner or later! Do you know how many catties and taels of those things are and what the market price is. Sigh, miss, you'd better stay at home in peace."

Everyone was busy, Xu Yaqing sent the guests down from the second floor, and when she looked up, she saw Zhao Shuen standing in the shop.Her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help saying in surprise, "Ma'am?! Why are you here?"

Seeing Xu Yaqing, Zhao Shuen greeted him with joy, grabbed Xu Yaqing's sleeve and invited, "I'm here to help today. Look, this is the shark fin I just sold." , Zhao Shuen pointed to the bagged things.Xu Yaqing turned her head, and saw the shopkeeper and Xiao Er wry smiles on their faces, and she suddenly understood everything in her heart.With a smile, Xu Yaqing raised her hand and gently rubbed Zhao Shuen's head, and said fondly, "Thank you Madam. It's great to help me. However, if Madam is tired, I will feel more distressed and worried." Yes. So, ma'am, it's better to stay at home and wait for me to come back, okay? Don't make me worry."

Zhao Shuen was completely lost in Xu Yaqing's gentle offensive, she nodded obediently, and begged coquettishly for a moment: "Then you come back early, okay. I'm bored at home alone."

"Okay. From now on, I will go home earlier to accompany my wife. Well, it's already noon, madam, let me take you to dinner. After eating, I will take you home to rest. I will come back to accompany you when I finish my work. Are you OK?"

At this time, Zhao Shuen was like a tamed little animal, obeying Xu Ya's words.Seeing Zhao Shuen leave the seafood shop, the shopkeeper and Xiao Er breathed a sigh of relief.This time, Mingniang raised the curtain and came out from the back room, she just witnessed the process.Ming Niang was somewhat surprised by Zhao Shuen's arrival.I don't know why Zhao Shuen suddenly became so interested in going to the store to help, but fortunately Xu Yaqing coaxed her away in time, otherwise, with Zhao Shuen's innocent and ignorant temperament that day, Xu's Haiwei's century-old brand would be destroyed by her hand.

After thinking about it, Ming Niang chuckled, turned around and went back to the back room to continue working.

Xu Yaqing took Zhao Shuen to a relatively simple restaurant for dinner.The shop owner and Xu Yaqing seem to be regular customers. When they saw Xu Yaqing from a distance, they greeted him and shouted: "Young master Xu! I'm here to help you again. There are fresh fish here today. I specially left one for you. It is most suitable to cook fish fillets in clear water."

Xu Yaqing nodded and said, "Let's do it right away." After finishing speaking, Xu Yaqing led Zhao Shuen to the private seat on the second floor.Although it is an elegant seat, it is nothing more than a small space separated by bamboo curtains, a square wooden table, and a stone is placed under one of the feet.Four long benches.There are mottled marks on it, which seems to have been for many years.

Xu Ya leaned into her seat and looked up to see Zhao Shuen standing with a troubled expression on his face, looking left and right, as if he was worried about something.

"What are you doing standing up, madam? Sit down quickly. The owner of this restaurant is from Shunde, and he is a top-notch fish cooker. You must try it."

Zhao Shuen pouted, hesitated again and again, and finally couldn't help expressing his difficulties: "Husband, this, this place is so, so dirty. You look at the table, it's dark, and the oil hasn't been wiped off. .The floor is not bright, do we really want to eat here?"

Xu Yaqing paused and looked around. Although it was not as decent as a restaurant, it was still stronger than a thatched cottage in the mountains.Besides, the thatched shed outside Ninghe Temple was several times worse than this last time. At that time, Zhao Shuen had endured it, but this time he offended the eldest lady.

After thinking about it, Xu Yaqing stood up, took off her coat and put it on the bench, then greeted Zhao Shuen and said: "The lady sits on my clothes. You don't have to worry about getting dirty. Although this small shop is simple, the food is absolutely delicious. In the past, I Heda...my sister and I often come here to eat. She likes to eat the fish here."

Zhao Shuen's mentality suddenly changed when he heard that the model woman whom he admired had also been here.She sat down with her shirt on, and raised her sleeves for fear of dragging the floor.He didn't even touch the poured tea.This time the boss brought a big pot with clear water in it and simmered it on the stove.Next to it are several large plates of crystal clear fish, neatly stacked on the lettuce, and a large bowl filled with shredded ginger.Finally, a few sauce dishes.

When the water boiled, Xu Yaqing took the lead in picking up a piece of fish meat and shredded ginger and put it into the water to rinse it. When the fish meat turned white, it was immediately out of the pot. After a while in the soy sauce, she leaned in front of Zhao Shuen, and continued to drip it with one hand. Soy sauce greeted: "Ma'am, open your mouth!"

The meat was delivered to her eyes, Zhao Shuen could only open her mouth, and the fresh and tender fish slipped into her mouth.Sip it carefully, the fish meat will be smooth and tender, swallow it with a sip, and the aftertaste will be delicious.Zhao Shuen licked his lips and said, "It's delicious."

Hearing Zhao Shuen say this himself, Xu Yaqing finally felt relieved.While calling Chun Ni to move her chopsticks, she was busy blanching fish fillets for Zhao Shuen.After a meal, Zhao Shuen actually ate a large plate of fish.

After lunch, Xu Yaqing personally sent Zhao Shuen back.In front of Xu's mansion, I ran into Ming Niang who was about to leave the house.When Ming Niang saw Xu Yaqing, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Young master came just in time. Boss Liu just sent a message asking you to visit him in the afternoon. He decided to cooperate with the Xu family."

When Xu Yaqing heard this, her eyebrows opened, and she immediately grabbed Mingniang's hand and said happily, "Mingniang, what method did you use to coax him? In the morning, he was still hesitant and refused to agree. In a blink of an eye, he was submissive." Tie wants to cooperate with us."

Ming Niang smiled slightly, and said mysteriously: "This is what I'm capable of. If I tell you, you won't need me in the future. I'm not so stupid."

"Okay, me, I can't do without you whether it's life or family business." Xu Yaqing joked, and then she was going to explain a few words to Zhao Shuen and she was going to leave with Mingniang, but she only listened to Zhao Shuen" Oops" with a sound, clutching his stomach and bending down. Seeing this, Chunni yelled in fright: "Miss, what's wrong with you!"
