Transmigrated into Substitute Bride 'Fu Lang'

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing under him, and saw that his eyes were slightly narrowed, and he was as comfortable as a well-furbed kitten. The corners of his lips curled up in a gentle arc, and he said softly, "About earning I paid 20 taels of silver."

Chen Xing's eyes suddenly widened, and he turned his head to look at Gu Lang behind him in disbelief, and said in surprise, "So many?"

"Yes." Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's bright eyes, and felt that even his small appearance as a money fan made him feel a little cute, "After all, the person who came today is a prominent person, who can buy so much money. No wonder."

Hearing Gu Lang's explanation, Chen Xing immediately became happy, held his hand and said, "When our stewed meat is sold out, we can make a lot of money. By the way, I, Grandpa Xu and the others We have agreed that when we ask them to deliver rice to us, we can find a place in the corner of our store to sell their rice, and then teach them how to cook it, so that their rice can be sold at a good price. Thank you for his help this time.”

Listening to Chen Xing's words, Gu Lang didn't show any impatience on his face, and there was a slight smile from the beginning to the end, "Well, it's just up to you to decide."

Seeing that Gu Lang supported him unconditionally, Chen Xing felt more and more happy.

At the same time, the Chen family.

Master Chen sat on the main seat with a gloomy face, stared at Butler Wu who came to report with gloomy eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Say it again!"

Butler Wu faced Master Chen's angry eyes, and said bravely, "Master, the people we sent to troubleshoot found them, and they were knocked out in the alley in their backyard, and they were covered with sackcloth. Judging from their moaning sounds, I'm afraid I can't find them there. Now, I have sent them all to the hospital, and it is estimated that they will not be able to get out for a while."

"Trash, you have the face to say it!" Master Chen threw the teacup towards the housekeeper in anger, and shouted: "So many of you went to smash the store, not only did you not cause them any loss, but Let yourself become such a coward, why are you so useless!"

Butler Wu endured Master Chen's scolding without saying a word. They also found out how many guys were in the store, and the people they sent were also good hands.But that's it, the dozen or so people they sent were all wounded, which is really strange.

Just as Butler Wu was discussing silently in his heart, Master Chen also calmed down. He sat down and looked at the butler in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "How is their banquet today?"

Butler Wu thought about the scene he saw today while squatting on watch, and then looked at Master Chen who had just calmed down above, he hesitated to say something.

"Say it! There's nothing you can't say!" Ever since Chen Ling'er came back with blood on her face last time, Master Chen, who knew she had been there, has always been in a bad temper. Right now, he saw that the Chen family's small restaurant did not close down as he expected. , On the contrary, the business is booming, and his emotions are becoming more and more uncontrollable.

Butler Wu lowered his head, and said cautiously: "Those noble people seem to be satisfied."

Hearing what Butler Wu said, Master Chen's face became even more ugly, and he looked at him in disbelief and said, "Why, did you make a mistake?"

Butler Wu looked at Master Chen's ugly face, and knew that what he said next might not be pleasing, and might even be questioned by Master Chen, but he still told what he saw and heard,

"Returning to the master, what I said is true. I squatted at the door for a long time, and saw the nobles coming out of it, all of them were happy, and even took a lot of things when they left. If you can even smell the aroma, it should be the food used to entertain those noble people."

Master Chen's complexion suddenly became extremely bad, and then he thought of the rumors he had heard. The people all said that the owner of the Chen family's small restaurant was lucky and got a wild boar king.Are these rumors true?So the things he made with those wild boars can satisfy so many nobles with tricky tastes?

Master Chen's face turned livid all of a sudden, damn it, why didn't their Chen family have such good luck, why did they take advantage of that bastard.

All of a sudden, the air in the room became quiet. Looking at the still angry Master Chen, Butler Wu didn't dare to show his anger, and only waited for Master Chen's next order.

Master Chen was angry for a while, then remembered another matter, and asked with a questioning tone: "Is there still a rice shop selling rice for them now?"

Steward Wu lowered his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Those rice shops have already said hello, and they won't sell rice to them."

"That's good. Then you arrange people to stop the rice they brought from Lin County. I want to see how long they can last without rice in the store!"

"Yes, the little ones should prepare now. I will let them wait outside the city until the Chen family comes back from buying rice, and pretend to be robbers on their only way."

Master Chen's face was full of gloom. After Butler Wu gave the order to go down, he looked up at the sky and sneered, "I want to see how long you will be lucky."

Just as Mr. Chen was imagining how painful Chen Xing and the others would look on their faces after being robbed, there was another eager footstep outside, and it was only when he got closer that he realized that it was the shopkeeper of his cloth spinning shop. .

Master Chen looked at his flustered look, raised his eyelids, and said in a dissatisfied tone: "What are you in such a hurry for, talk about it if you have something to say."

The visitor took a few breaths of fresh air, and after his breath stabilized, he raised his eyes to look at Master Chen in front of him, and reported, "It's not good, Master! The batch of silk that the Zhao family promised to cooperate with us has now repented. They don't plan to do it for us, what should we do!?"

Mr. Chen, who was squinting and sitting leisurely, immediately jumped up from the reclining chair when he heard the words, and said in disbelief: "What did you say?! Tell me the details quickly, and you are not allowed to hide anything."

Chen Xing, who was busy, didn't expect at all that Master Chen wanted to intercept their rice coming from Lin County after cutting off their supply channels in the county, but even if he knew, he didn't care.Because, he is really busy now.

Because those dignitaries were invited to the banquet that day, curious common people came to ask those nobles what they ate and what they packed away the next day, so they took the opportunity to introduce their braised pork made of wild boar, and It is marked with a sign of limited supply and sold out.

Those who were curious, those who were greedy, and those who didn't believe it was so delicious, all bought some to take home, as long as they had eaten it, there was nothing they didn't like.So, from that day on, the stewed pork in Chen's small restaurant became popular in the whole county, and there was an endless stream of people who came to buy it every day.

A few thin slices of meat can be taken home to share with family members, or you can add money in the store to order a bowl of fragrant rice, served with dipping water, it is absolutely amazing to eat together, some people are alone In this way, you can eat three bowls of rice in a row.

Ji Yi is one of them. He originally lived in the East District, which is far away from this small restaurant. Although he has heard of the name of this small restaurant in the past, he has never been to it.

Until a few days ago, I heard about the banquet in this small restaurant, and the nobles who were invited were full of food, so I came to taste it with a curious attitude.As a result, after tasting it, he fell in love with this new dish, and he felt that if it was paired with some small wine, the taste would be even more amazing!

From that day on, Ji Yi would come over to eat whenever he was free, and if he was not free, he would ask someone to bring a portion home.It's just that when he went home to eat it by himself, he always felt that the taste was a bit off, until he ate it again today, and he could taste the taste after eating.It seems that he didn't feel so delicious at home, all because of the rice problem.

Ji Yi hurriedly greeted the waiter next to him, and asked a little embarrassedly: "Why is the food here so delicious?"

Ji Yi, who originally thought that he could only get one shop name, saw the Xiaoer in front of him showing a bright smile after saying this, which made him a little flustered, and then he heard him say: "Guest, Would you like to see how our meal is prepared?"

Seeing Xiao Er's smile, Ji Yi nodded in a strange way, followed this Xiao Er to their backyard, and then saw bags of rice piled up in the originally empty corner, and there were a few things in front of them, a tall The strong man was standing there with a sullen face, meticulously explaining the process of soaking rice, washing rice, and steaming rice to everyone who came, and finally he saw a rice steaming utensil like a bucket.

When Ji Yi came back to his senses, he had already bought a small steamer and ten catties of rice and was standing at the back door, surrounded by people who bought things like him and went back .

Ji Yi looked down at the things in his hands, and thought about why he bought so many things impulsively amidst that man's voice that was not pleasant at all?In the end, he attributed it to the fact that the vat of rice being steamed next to it must be so fragrant!

Ji Yi smiled lightly, that's all, he'd better go back and try to see if the rice is as delicious as he said.If it is really that delicious, he will buy more next time.

Chen Xing ended today's business, and happily went to the front desk to reconcile the accounts with Gu Lang. He looked at the accounts on the ledger, and said happily:

"Look, we made a batch of steaming buckets and sold them in the store. We only set up a venue for Da Niu and the others to sell rice, and we can make a profit. This is mutually beneficial, and everyone can make money. The rice has gained fame, and when the time comes to take it out, there is no fear that no one will buy it, and other people in their village will also be richer."

Because Chen Xing knew how to shell the rice, and how to wash and cook it, so that their original inferior rice became a high-quality rice in an instant, and the rice that was disliked by others suddenly became everyone's favorite. object.

"En." Gu Lang looked at the happy Chen Xing, his eyes were full of tenderness.In fact, if it weren't for Chen Xing, their rice might never be loved by anyone, let alone be as popular as it is now.His star, what a wonderful man!

When thinking like this, Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing with softer eyes.

It seems that because Gu Lang's gaze was too straightforward, Chen Xing stopped chattering, raised his head and looked at the man beside him, seeing him staring at him for a moment, he was stunned for a moment.

Chen Xing felt that Gu Lang's eyes were very familiar. Every time Gu Lang wanted to kiss him, he would look at him like this, and he suddenly became a little nervous: "Why, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, the rice in the backyard is also selling very fast today, maybe we can close the store earlier today." Facing Chen Xing's slightly red face, Gu Lang calmly looked away, with a rare nervousness in his tone .

Seeing that Gu Lang had no intention of kissing him, as if the sight he was staring at just now was just his illusion, Chen Xing felt a little disappointed for no reason, he drooped his head, and responded softly, "Oh."

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing, who was suddenly depressed. Although he was as smart as him, he didn't understand why Chen Xing, who was elated just now, suddenly became depressed again.

Haoji rice shop in the city.

The shopkeeper stood on the counter to check the accounts, and then looked at the crowds coming and going outside. Finally, he couldn't hold back and called the waiter in the store, "What's going on these days, why are there so few accounts in the account book? That much?"

Hearing what he said, the waiter had a strange expression on his face, and finally he couldn't hold back and said: "The shopkeeper, the main reason is that there are fewer rice buyers in the past few days, so this account is naturally less."

The shopkeeper frowned, and said unhappily: "There are quite a few residents in this city. There are no disasters, no newly relocated big households, and no newly opened rice shops. How could there be so few of them all of a sudden?" Many people came to buy rice."

Xiaoer looked at the shopkeeper's expression of wanting to ask the teacher for a crime. He was sure that he really didn't know about it, so he struggled for a while, and carefully reminded: "Although there is no newly opened rice shop, there is a new rice shop. The place is now also serving as a rice seller.”

Hearing that there was something in his words, he obviously knew something, the shopkeeper became impatient, and immediately said: "If you have something to say, what's the matter with being so hesitant."

"Yes." Seeing that the shopkeeper was angry, Xiaoer stopped talking around and said directly: "The Chen family restaurant got a lot of rice from there, and it is really delicious when cooked, compared to the best rice. It’s not bad, and the price is cheap. Therefore, many people are attracted to buy it.”

Most people still think that they can't afford the food inside, but they can always eat their rice!Even he went and bought some for himself, and did as they taught him.Needless to say, the taste is so simple, once you eat it, you will never forget it.

Hearing Xiaoer's words, the shopkeeper's face immediately showed a bit of astonishment. He really didn't expect that it was Chen's small restaurant that refused to sell rice to them in the end who robbed them of their business.

Seeing the shopkeeper's changing face, Xiao Er became quiet for a moment.He himself thought it was ridiculous, the people above wanted to cooperate with the rice shops in the entire county to embarrass the Chen family restaurant, but they not only found the source of rice, but even robbed their customers. Isn't naked stealing chickens worth a lot of money?

Xiao Er shook his head and sighed in his heart, only to see the shopkeeper looking at him with a livid face, he swallowed his saliva, and immediately stepped back.

When the uninterested Xiao Er left, the shopkeeper looked at the rest of the rice with a particularly headache.If the rice cannot be sold, it will become infested with worms after a long time. By then, even the top-grade rice may not be able to sell even the low-grade rice.

The shopkeeper rubbed his eyebrows with a headache. When he refused to sell rice to Chen's small restaurant, he never thought that such a day would come. What are they going to do now?

# # #

Until closing the shop, Gu Lang still didn't understand why Chen Xing was unhappy, but it didn't matter soon, because the old hunter gave them another big gift, and they actually hunted a deer .

Chen Xing, who was distracted, immediately forgot what he was struggling with just now. Looking at the large deer in front of him, he looked at the old Orion in surprise and said, "Why are you so lucky? This deer looks Not very easy to catch."

Not only is it difficult to catch, such a big deer will never appear in the surrounding deep forests, and it is generally only seen in the deep forests.If you can't even see it, it's even harder to catch it.

The old Orion didn't explain that much, he scratched his hair, and said a little embarrassedly: "I didn't catch it, I was just entrusted by others to let the little boss see if he would accept it. This deer I just caught it this morning, and it's still fresh."

"Ah, that's it!" Chen Xing didn't ask any more after hearing the words. Since he traded with the old hunters, he bought many ingredients from them. It's not surprising that some villagers ask them to help sell things.

Chen Xing also asked casually, and then started to size up the deer. Looking at the color, it should have just died. After thinking about it, he decided to buy it. He can keep it for Gu Lang to make medicinal food, and the rest made into finished products and sold.After all, there is a sign in their store now, and there should be people who are willing to buy the medicinal diet.

After making up his mind, Chen Xing turned to look at the old hunter waiting there, and asked directly, "How much does that hunter plan to sell?"

The old Orion rubbed his fingers, and said a price they had set, "He wants 30 taels."

After talking about it, the old Orion himself felt that it was a bit high. After all, only so many wild boars were sold last time. This deer needs so many, but the meat is not one-third of the last time. It is really not suitable.It's just that the Orion was injured trying to catch this deer, and he still needs to recuperate for a while. If he doesn't sell it at a higher price, his trip will be in vain except for the medical expenses.

Chen Xing pondered for a while, and obviously felt that the price was a bit high, but then he thought of something, nodded, and replied: "Okay, I'll take it at this price. Please help me deal with it all the time." , Help me draw out the blood of this deer, and then help me peel off the skin."

"Okay, no problem." Seeing Chen Xing being so straightforward, the old Orion immediately showed a smile on his face. He pulled his son who was about to go back, together with the shop assistants, and took the deer behind him. to deal with.

Seeing them go to the backyard, Chen Xingcai turned to look at Gu Lang next to him, and said cheerfully: "I was thinking about doing something to strengthen your body during this time, but this deer happened to be here, so I will leave some for you when the time comes." You make medicinal meals, and the rest are sold in the store."

Seeing that Chen Xing would think of himself even when buying a deer, Gu Lang suddenly felt warm in his heart, and looked at him with extra gentle eyes, then nodded and replied: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Looking at Gu Lang like this, Chen Xing suddenly felt much better, and smiled at him very brightly, then glanced around, and found that everyone had gone to the back, and there was no one else around except the two of them.He took a step forward and came in front of Gu Lang. Before Gu Lang could react, he tiptoed and kissed his lips, making a 'pop' sound.

After the kiss, Chen Xing still felt flattered, but the blush on his face made him look a little embarrassed, so he immediately backed away, and before Gu Lang could react, he changed the subject and said, "Let's go, Let's go to the back to see how they deal with it. Take the deer blood back later, and I will make it for you to eat, and it can also nourish your body. The temperature has dropped recently."

Gu Lang subconsciously wanted to catch up with Chen Xing the minute he pushed him away, but he just looked at Chen Xing's blushing face, and slowly lowered his raised hand, finally looked at him and nodded slightly, He replied with a smile: "Well, let's go." Don't worry, he will get it back anyway in the future.

While Chen Xing was watching the old Orion dissect the deer, Mr. Chen also asked others, and finally met the agent of the Zhao family who was originally doing business with their family.

Master Chen frowned slightly when he saw the person coming, but soon he realized what he was here for, and immediately put on a smiling face, and said politely to the housekeeper:

"Guard Feng, didn't we all agree that we will provide the silk and you will pay tribute to it. My Chen family doesn't want anything. I just hope that when Mr. Zhao handed it in, it can be said that it was from our Chen family. .Why, I have everything ready here, and I don’t want it all at once?”

When this batch of goods was delivered, they didn't make any money at all, and they were even in a loss-making business. The reason why they were so eager to cooperate was to make a good impression on them.If the people above take a fancy to the silk from their cloth shop, they will be able to make a name for themselves in the future.If you miss this opportunity, you don't know when you will have such a good opportunity next time.

The middle-aged man known as Steward Feng looked at the anxious Master Chen, but he just raised his eyelids, with a casual perfunctory expression on his face, "Master Chen, I can't help it, I'm just a follower of orders." As for the work, I will do what the master above tells me to do. I don’t know what to do if you say so.”

Mr. Chen heard the perfunctory meaning, and became more and more anxious. Looking at him, he asked eagerly: "Guan Shi Feng is Mr. Zhao's confidant, and I can't see Mr. Zhao now. Can Mr. Feng reveal this a little bit?" A good deal, where is the problem, so I can fix it in time, right? Buying and selling can’t be benevolent, business can’t be done, and you can’t make enemies!”

After finishing speaking, Master Chen seemed to have thought of something, took out a small purse from his cuff, and stuffed it directly into Steward Feng's hand.

Steward Feng shook the weight of his purse, and his eyes showed a little satisfaction. Thinking of what he heard, he leaned into Master Chen's ear and said, "Master Chen, it's really not my master's problem this time. The madam heard the gossip about your young lady, so she stopped the master halfway and made him withdraw his intention to cooperate this time."
