daily struggle in ancient times
Chapter 60
When Huo Cheng came, the store was almost cleaned up, and Hu Siqi was also brought back from the medical clinic by Ama Xing. Except for the medicine on his face, he looked the same as usual.
Even so, several people lost their minds about doing business. Gou Fulang went out to inquire about it, but he couldn't find out why.However, Wei Yun's previous analysis is indeed correct. Although these people also collect protection fees in the city, they don't collect much in January, which is completely within the range of everyone's tolerance.And there are people making trouble in the store, and these people will indeed deal with it, which really saves everyone a lot of trouble.
Although the big guys don't understand what's going on, it's obvious that the only people who can do this are colleagues, who either have a very good relationship with this group of people, or pay a lot of money.
"I think that Huixiangfang is the most suspicious. When I asked, the boss hesitated and couldn't say anything, and his eyeballs were still rolling around. He looked uneasy and kind." Gou Fulang was indignant.
Amo Xing shook her head, "It shouldn't be them. The shopkeeper Gao in Huixiangfang is timid and afraid of getting into trouble, and Fu Lang is a tigress. If you just talk to him, he will be nervous to death, let alone you ask him this."
Gou Fulang choked for a moment, and muttered softly, "How did I know he was so cowardly!"
Hu Siqi giggled twice, Tong Yan Wuji: "Last time he glanced at a young man, his wife made his ears red!"
"Hu Siqi!" Hu Jianxian shouted in a low voice, never expecting his younger brother to say such a thing, his face turned red with embarrassment, "What are you talking about, your face doesn't hurt anymore!"
Hu Siqi lowered his head and looked like he was being educated humbly, but secretly stuck out his tongue. The facts were just like that, so there was nothing he couldn't say.
Wei Yun patted him reassuringly, and took the words: "When we didn't come here, the best business in this street was Huichunfang, Koukouxiang and Suxiangyuan. The shopkeeper Gao of Huichunfang is a very timid person. Yes, his daughter-in-law is also neat and generous. Although our business is good, they mainly cook staple food, and it doesn’t affect them too much if we do well. Both Kou Kou Xiang and Su Xiang Yuan make dim sum. Well, they must be bad, I reckon this matter has something to do with them, but I don't know who did it."
That's what I said, but Wei Yun has been in the city for so many years, and he still knows a thing or two about the behavior of these two shopkeepers.
Shopkeeper Li, who has a good taste, is a good old man. He will lend a hand to anyone in trouble, and he is also kind in doing business, but it is Suxiangyuan.The head of the shop, Mr. Hu, has a violent temper. He often quarrels with the neighbors and has a small mind. If it weren't for the delicious dim sum of Suxiangyuan and the old customers supporting the door, it might have closed down a long time ago.
In Wei Yun's heart, he was more inclined to Suxiangyuan, but this was all their speculation, and there was no evidence at all.
A few people were talking when they heard a knock on the door outside the shop. The voice of "dong dong dong" was clear and urgent, obviously very anxious.
Wei Yun and the others immediately became vigilant, and Gou Fulang hurriedly asked, "Which one?"
"It's me!" Huo Cheng saw the shop closed when he came here today, and he felt strange in his heart, but then he heard the boss in the shop next to him say that someone was making trouble in the morning, so it's strange not to be in a hurry.
So the knock on the door was urgent and heavy, and even the answering voice was fierce.
Such a fierce answer made the people in the room feel more relaxed, with smiles on their faces.
Hu Jianxian was the closest to the door, so he quickly got up to open the door. Just as he opened the door, Huo Chengcheng rushed in, and the wind that brought him lifted the corners of his clothes, which showed how anxious the people who came in were.
Huo Cheng saw the little husband sitting safely on the stool at a glance, his beating heart eased a little, and he hurried over to observe it carefully.
Although nothing seemed to be wrong, he still asked worriedly, "How is it?"
Wei Yun rubbed against his palm unconsciously, quite attached, "It's okay, I was behind when the accident happened, and my brother-in-law even used the table to prop up the door, just listening to the commotion in the front, I was a little flustered .”
Huo Cheng was completely relieved, "It's fine."
"How do you know something happened to the shop?" Wei Yun was curious.
"Someone told me on the street." Huo Cheng said, "What's going on? Why did someone come to make trouble?"
Gou Fulang recounted what happened in the morning in a spirited manner, not forgetting to add his own guess, "There are only a few dim sum shops on this street like ours. I don't think they can escape left or right."
Huo Cheng frowned, turned to Hu Jianxian and asked, "Do you know what their boss looks like? What's his name?"
Hu Jianxian shook his head, "I just heard a few words from others, but I don't know very well. Those who come to collect money are usually Liu Sange's brothers, and he rarely comes by himself."
Huo Cheng nodded to indicate that he knew that Zuo Zuo couldn't do business today, and several people rushed home after a while.
The progress of Wei Yun's ice skin mooncake research is not bad. If it weren't for what happened today, he might have succeeded. He plans to continue tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, on the second day, Huo Cheng was afraid that the group of people would turn back, and he would not agree with him to go to the city, so he insisted on letting him go home.
Wei Yun knew that he had good intentions, but he really couldn't beat him, so he could only passively agree and stay at home.
However, he was not idle, and after a day of tinkering, he finally managed to get things out.
Snow skin mooncakes are more beautiful than the usual mooncakes, especially to please women and younger brothers. Even an elderly person like Mrs. Gu can't resist. He took the mooncakes away as soon as they came out of the oven, saying that he wanted to buy them. Go back and bring it to your family to taste.
Their family also made a lot of money following Huo Cheng, and their life was much easier than before, and they married Gu Hongzhi not long ago.The other party was arranged for him by the Gu family since he was a child. The two met each other frequently when they were teenagers, and their relationship was very good after they got married.
This new daughter-in-law was grown up by Aunt Gu. She is kind and gentle, and not the kind of thoughtful person. She gets along very well with Aunt Gu.
The moon cakes were mainly brought home for her to eat. As for Gu Hongzhi and his family, rough men can eat whatever they want, such delicate things are fine.
Huo Cheng came back very late today, the moon was already high, so he came back with an ox cart.
He went to the city for a day today, and finally found out about this third brother Liu.
"Do you still remember the family you were engaged to before me?" Huo Cheng asked.
Wei Yun shook his hand holding the tea bowl, and asked nonchalantly, "Which one are you talking about?" He met Huo Cheng several times before they got married, and they were all rushing to get engaged.
It stands to reason that Huo Cheng is also very clear about this matter, and it's okay to say it, but when he asked such a question, Wei Yun always felt a little guilty.
Huo Cheng didn't care when he heard the words, and his hand to untie the tent was not affected at all, so he answered him calmly: "It's that Liu family."
Wei Yun frowned reflexively, with a hint of disgust flashing across his eyes, "What does it have to do with their family?"
Huo Cheng nodded, "Liu Sange and his relatives in the same village are quite close, and they didn't get five blessings. I inquired about it, and it's true that someone paid for it. It can't be said that it's the same as the previous one. It also matters."
Wei Yun felt that what he said was quite right. When he made such a fuss back then, he thoroughly exposed the hidden affairs of Liu Feng's family. The son of Liu Feng's family is still a bachelor, and the reputation of the entire Liu family is somewhat bad. .
If Brother Liu San was related to Liu Feng's family, it would be hard not to hate him.
So this can also explain why this person obviously collects protection fees from the shop to help them drive away troublemakers, but rushes to smash their shop. He is willing to do such a face-slapping thing. It turns out that there are private goods in here .
"I asked about it." Huo Cheng continued, "The relationship between the two is okay, but this person is not unreasonable. It's just because of this, he can't do it like this."
"Do you also think that someone is playing tricks behind?" Wei Yun put down the tea bowl in his hand, and explained his guess in detail.
Huo Cheng couldn't help but kissed him, Xiao Fulang's analysis was well-founded, and he was really smart.
Wei Yun couldn't help but glared at him, and Huo Cheng's eyes were itchy, and he couldn't help but fell over again.
He was pregnant, and the couple hadn't done it for a long time. Wei Yun still had some thoughts in his heart, so he gave in half-heartedly, and he was quite satisfied with his life.
Wei Yun rested at home for two days and was about to go to the shop when news came from Brother Chou that Brother Chou had given birth.
He immediately didn't care about going to the shop, and went straight to Brother Chou's house with his stomach full.
Brother Chou had just given birth, and the house was a bit more lively than usual, but it was very limited. Seeing him coming, Brother Chou's mother hurriedly called him into the house.
Probably because the doors and windows were closed tightly, the smell in the room was slightly strange, Wei Yun was not surprised by the comparison.
Ugly brother was lying on the bed, he had gained a lot of weight, his face was haggard, but he was in good spirits, holding a small baby in his arms, his expression was very gentle.
Seeing him come in, Brother Chou quickly asked him to sit down, "You came so fast!"
Wei Yun nodded with a smile, and looked down at the child, "I came as soon as I got the news, why would I be unhappy?"
The baby was just born last night, it was red and wrinkled, but Wei Yun felt that it was not good-looking, "This baby is really good, even if you don't open your eyes, you can tell that you two are specially selected for your strengths, He must be a handsome little man when he grows up."
Brother Ugly nodded with a smile, very satisfied: "When he didn't come out, I was afraid that he would have this spot on his face like me, but you see, it's so white and clean."
Wei Yun stretched out his hand and gently touched the child's face, his heart softened into a puddle of water, "So he is a person who knows how to love someone, and knows that you don't like it, so it's not that he's not grown up."
Brother Ugly giggled twice, probably because the wound was involved, so he couldn't help grinning.
Wei Yun sat for a while, and couldn't help asking, "How does it feel to have a baby?"
Brother Chou frowned for a moment, but when he saw the expectation and fear in Wei Yun's eyes, he couldn't help turning his lips, "It's pretty good, although it hurts a bit, but it's tolerable, and it's pretty good. Come on, it will be fine in a while, and it's not as uncomfortable as my mother told me."
"Really?" Wei Yun didn't believe it. Although he didn't ask other people, he had vaguely heard that a woman and a little brother gave birth to a child and passed through the gate of hell. It was very uncomfortable.
"What am I lying to you for?" Ugly Brother said confidently, "You will know when the time comes, it will be all right."
Seeing that Wei Yun was skeptical, Brother Chou hurriedly assured that what he said was true. His attitude was so certain, Wei Yun finally chose to believe it, and the fear in his heart eased a lot.
Seeing him like this, Brother Chou also heaved a sigh of relief, and silently muttered in his heart: He did this for Wei Yun's good, and if Wei Yun really gave birth to a child one day, don't blame him for his good.
