Time Traveling: The Man and Wife Heads the House

Finally, a big red notice was pasted on the door of the teahouse: Mingxiang Teahouse will be reopened on April [-]th, and new and old customers are welcome.All the guests present will have beautiful gifts and surprises for everyone.

Seeing that the teahouse was finally about to open, the old customers were very excited, and there was a surprise when they saw the opening, and they all wanted to go to the teahouse to find out.But who knows, since the notice was put up in the teahouse, the door was closed tightly and no one was allowed to enter.Sometimes when they met Zhang Chi and Gu Xihe, they would stop them and ask what the surprise was.Zhang Chi always has a mysterious smile on his face, and you will know when the time comes.

The decoration of the teahouse has long been over, and the arrangement of tables and chairs has not changed much. Uncle Cui has helped to bring in a large amount of new tea.Zhang Chi has seen the new tea, and the appearance and taste are very good.

Boss Chen of the snack shop heard that Zhang Chi was back, so he came to the door in person.

"Brother Zhang, I have been looking forward to your return! Boss Tao from Pinmingzhai has approached me several times, asking for dim sum from our family, but I have never agreed to him! In the end he found Lao Cao from Qianjie. I I promised you that if I only supply goods to your teahouse, I must keep my word. You see that your teahouse is open, will I still deliver goods to you as usual?"

Zhang Chi said with a smile: "Boss Chen, thank you so much! I am just going to find you. Our teahouse definitely wants your dim sum. Moreover, for the opening of the teahouse, I even came up with a new way of dim sum. Look at this Fang Zi, can you make it?"

Zhang Chi knew in his heart that the reason why Boss Chen was willing to wait for him was because he had given him two dim sum recipes, and these two new dim sum recipes were selling well in his shop.As long as Boss Chen has some brains, he will not give up on himself because of Pinmingzhai.Although there are benefits involved, Boss Chen's actions are considered loyal, so he will cooperate with him.

Boss Chen looked at Fang Zi and nodded repeatedly, "Smooth sesame cake? The ingredients are only sesame and horseshoe powder? Okay, I'll go back and try to make it. When it's ready, I'll bring it to Boss Zhang to taste."

"Boss Chen, please."

Boss Chen narrowed his eyes with a smile, "No trouble, no trouble. Brother Zhang, if you switch to making pastries, I'm afraid we won't have a way out."

Zhang Chi rubbed his chin, thoughtfully, "Boss Chen reminded me, opening a dim sum shop should be cheaper than teahouses, right?"

The smile on Boss Chen's face froze, and he clasped his fists in a salute, "Brother Zhang, don't scare me!"

Zhang Chi laughed, "Boss Chen, don't worry, a teahouse is enough for my headache! Come on, let's go in and talk about cooperation!"

"it is good."

The two quickly negotiated a new cooperation agreement, and both parties were very satisfied.

Everything is ready, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.This Dongfeng is Sun Zheng.

After Sun Zheng heard Gu Xihe's suggestion to let him tell a story, he was so frightened that he "gudong" fell to the ground.After being helped up by Tweety, her head shook harder than a rattle.

His face was flushed, and he stuttered even when he spoke.

"Old, boss, I, I can't, really, really can't! You, you stop joking!"

Gu Xihe smiled faintly, "Why can't you?"

"That's right!" He Jiahao didn't think it was a big deal when he watched the excitement, "Are you a man? How can a man say that he is not good enough?"

Sun Zheng looked at Zhang Chi for help, "Zhang Chi, you, you all know that I, I can't speak, and besides, I, I can't tell stories."

Zhang Chi also felt that Gu Xihe's proposal was good. Although Sun Zheng didn't talk much, he was good at reading. Although he couldn't write, it didn't matter.Moreover, he and himself are dead brothers, and they will not betray themselves.

Besides, of course he listened to Gu Xihe's words!

He raised his eyebrows, "Sun Zheng! I haven't been back for a month, why are you stuttering?"

Sun Zheng quickly said, "I, I didn't stutter."

"No stuttering? Then what's the matter with talking?"

Cui'er gave Sun Zheng a white look, "Sun Zheng, it's because Boss Gu trusts you, how can you shirk it?"

Sun Zheng opened his mouth and lowered his head.

Zhang Chi patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, isn't there me? I will teach you. Today I will write the story you are going to tell in the next few days, and you will be familiar with it within three days , I have recited it, and after three days, I will check your recitation and then teach you the skills of storytelling."

Sun Zheng still couldn't believe it, "Huh? Zhang Chi, are you serious?"

Zhang Chi stood up and said seriously: "Of course what I said is true. Our first meeting today is here. It's getting late. Xihe and I invite everyone to have a meal together. Don't refuse. "

Everyone happily agreed, only Sun Zheng lay down on the table dejectedly and couldn't get up.

Tweety smiled and tapped him on the head, "Sun Zheng, what are you afraid of? Didn't Zhang Chi tell you everything he said?"

Sun Zheng raised his eyelids, looked at Tweety, then lowered his head again.

"I, I never said that."

"Didn't you talk about what you're afraid of? Could it be that you know everything from birth? Didn't you learn it slowly?"

"I understand. But..."

"But what? I heard from Uncle Cui that when you first came to the teahouse, you didn't say a word, and you couldn't tell the difference between the teas. He had to teach you by the side. Now you can't greet guests skillfully, but you can Can you tell the difference between different kinds of tea? As long as you are willing to learn, you can learn anything."

Sun Zheng looked up at Cui'er, and said what was in his heart, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid I won't speak well, the guests are all gone, I'm sorry Zhang Chi and Boss Gu."

Tweety knocked him on the head again bitterly, "You haven't done it yet, you're afraid of this and that, that's how you feel sorry for them and make people look down on you! No matter what, you should at least try hard, right? What if you succeed? You don’t even want to try, so you just say you can’t do it, aren’t you a coward?”

Zhang Chi was very satisfied with Tweety's performance, and walked over to add fuel to the fire.

"Sun Zheng, don't say that I look down on you, and Cui'er looks down on you too. Is it harder to tell a story on stage than to go to the battlefield? You are not even afraid of death, so what are you afraid of?"

Sun Zheng stood up abruptly, with a firmness in his eyes that he had never seen before.

"Okay! I'll give it a try."

Zhang Chi nodded in satisfaction, "Okay! This is a man!"

Sun Zheng has been tossing his hair a lot in the past few days, and the hair on the top of his head is always up in a mess.

The story is easy to memorize, because the plot is tortuous and fascinating. After reading it, Sun Zheng quickly remembered it.But let him speak out, or stand on the stage and tell others vividly, he can't do it.

Hearing that he had memorized the story by heart, Zhang Chi asked Gu Xihe to sit on a chair, and said to Sun Zheng, "I have something else to do, tell the boss."

Maybe it was because he relaxed when he got home, or maybe it was because the meals Zhang Chi cooked were light and easy to digest. Apart from retching in the morning, Gu Xihe didn't have any reaction on weekdays, and everything seemed normal.

Zhang Chi felt relieved and allowed him to follow him to the teahouse every day, but he never asked him to do anything.This is the first time I have given him a job!

Gu Xihe sat on the chair and looked at Sun Zheng with a smile.

Sun Zheng was dumbfounded immediately, and pulled Zhang Chi's skirt, as if grabbing a life-saving straw, "Huh? Tell the boss? Zhang Chi, I don't..."

Zhang Chi knocked off his hand without hesitation, and walked away gracefully.Sun Zheng stood in front of Gu Xihe with his head down obediently, just like a primary school student who was called to the office by the teaching director.

Gu Xihe looked at him with a half-smile, "What, am I scary?"

"of course not."

Sun Zheng raised his head, then lowered it again.Of course Gu Xihe wasn't scary, and he was always smiling.But looking at his delicate and beautiful face and his scrutinizing eyes, he couldn't open his mouth.

Gu Xihe tapped on the table lightly, and said with a smile, "Come on, put this cloth towel over your eyes, so you won't be nervous if you can't see me."

After speaking, he took out a light green embroidered handkerchief from his pocket.

"Really?" Sun Zheng looked at the handkerchief in his hand, half-believing.

"Of course." Gu Xihe replied very firmly.

Sun Zheng covered his eyes with a handkerchief. Although he couldn't see anything, he could still feel Gu Xihe's eyes on him subconsciously, and he became more nervous.

Gu Xihe saw that his hand on his leg trembled slightly, so he couldn't help sighing, "Speak, I won't look at you anymore."

Sun Zheng was sweating, hearing what Gu Xihe said, he really had no way to escape, so he could only open his mouth tremblingly.

At the beginning, Sun Zheng always thought that Gu Xihe was looking at him, and he stumbled while talking, but after talking, he immersed himself in the story and gradually relaxed.

By the time a story was finished, my entire back was drenched with sweat.

Gu Xihe smiled and said, "Take off the veil!"

Sun Zheng took off his handkerchief and opened his eyes, facing Shang Zhangchi's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

He suddenly stuttered again, "Zhang Chi, you, why are you here?"

Zhang Chi smiled and said, "I'm not here, how do I know what's wrong with what you said?"

Sun Zheng slightly lowered his eyes, looking frustrated, "I, I can't speak well, I'm too stupid!"

"Better than I expected."

"Really?" Sun Zheng's eyes lit up a little bit.

"Of course. I believe that under my guidance, you will be better."

Sun Zheng's eyes became brighter, "I will definitely work hard!"

After that, Sun Zheng completely turned into a storyteller madman, no matter who he was or what he was doing, he could tell it to him.When Uncle Cui settled the accounts, he said beside him that Uncle Cui had written Tie Guanyin as Iron Sand Palm; when Zhang Chi was arranging the lobby, he helped and talked about it, but he didn't finish it all afternoon.

Tweety was the most abused, stamped her feet, covered her ears and said bitterly: "Sun Zheng, I can already recite it!"

Sun Zheng touched his head and grinned.

On April [-]th, the weather was beautiful, and it was a sunny day in the early morning. The door of the teahouse was wide open, and there was a big red banner at the door, which read: Congratulations on the re-opening of Mingxiang Teahouse!

Just after the hour, several firecrackers hanging at the door "crackled" sounded.

Zhang Chi, Gu Xihe, Cui Jingshun, and Sun Zheng were all dressed in festive gowns and gowns, and stood at the door to welcome the guests. Everyone had beaming smiles on their faces.

Zhang Chi pulled Gu Xihe back two steps, waited for the firecrackers to go off, and then took him forward to greet relatives, friends and guests who came to congratulate.

There are many more people coming to the opening this time than last time, guest-level ones, in addition to Mr. Gu, the brothers of the Gu family, He Jiahao, the boss Chen of the dim sum shop, the biggest ones are the magistrate Jiang and the boss Xu of Songxuan Pavilion. What is surprising is Boss Tao of Songxuan Pavilion.

When Cui'er saw Tao Zixing, she rolled her eyes, and muttered, "This man is really shameless, he has the nerve to come."

Cui Jingshun said with a smile: "If he has face, how could he learn from us!"

Tweety blinked and said with a smile, "You're right."

As soon as He Jiahao saw Tweety, he immediately posted her to get closer.

"Tweety, isn't your lady here?"

Tweety looked at him with a smile, "Master He, who do you think my lady is, how can she go out casually?"

He Jiahao rubbed his nose and laughed, "Miss Cui Er said that I just haven't seen Miss for a long time, so I'll say hello."

"Long time no see? I remember you just went to Jiangfu the day before yesterday?"

He Jiahao suddenly didn't know what to say.

Tweety shook the handkerchief with a smile, and said in a low voice, "Our young lady is going to Fahai Temple to restore it tomorrow."

He Jiahao hurriedly gave him a deep bow, "Thank you, miss."

Jiang Zhixian and Boss Xu just exchanged pleasantries with Gu Xihe and Zhang Chi, gave them congratulatory gifts, and left, but this was already a great deal of face to them.Jiang Lingzhi was a clean and honest official and rarely dealt with businesses. Even if he went to a restaurant for a meal sometimes, he would give money in a serious manner.Therefore, it is very rare for him to show up here, and many people did not expect it.

Gu Zuocheng asked: "Xihe! You also invited Mr. Jiang?"

Gu Xihe shook his head, "Not really."

Gu Zuocheng stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It seems that it's for the sake of you, Jie Yuan! Your brother and I will go back first. We can't help, so let's not add trouble."

Zhang Chi asked to stay, "Father, why don't you leave after lunch? I've asked Sun Zheng to order the dishes."

Gu Zuocheng shook his head, "It's still early, so we won't eat. Zhang Chi, you have to pay attention to your health!"

Zhang Chi touched his nose, "Father, I will."

"Well. You are a smart person, I am very relieved. Xicai, Xibao, let's go back!"

Seeing Gu Xicai, Zhang Chi suddenly remembered something, and stepped forward to stop Gu Xicai.

"Brother, I wrote to you to ask you to buy more rice, did you buy it?"

Gu Xicai wondered why Zhang Chi cared about his business, but still returned him.

"Last autumn, I bought a few hundred shimi, but I haven't sold much yet. This year's grain has not come down yet, and the price has risen slightly, but it is about the same as in previous years. You wrote me a few days ago, and I bought dozens of shimi. Zhang Chi , why do you suddenly care about this?"

Gu Zuocheng also stopped when he heard their conversation.

Zhang Chi hesitated for a moment before saying: "I accompanied Xihe on this trip. Along the way, I felt that the fields were short of water, and the water level of the Baisha River was also very low. Many farmers said that production might be reduced this year. I want you to buy more Some rice is always right."

Gu Xicai laughed: "There is little rain this year, but it rained twice last month, so it should have eased a little. So it's hard to say the price of rice this year."

Zhang Chi said: "Brother, I don't know much about food. I just want to tell you about the situation. You have experience, so it's up to you to make up your mind."

Gu Zuocheng nodded and said, "Zhangchi and Xihe are away from home, thinking about their family members. Yes, they are good boys! Xicai, let's go to the countryside tomorrow to have a look. If the price is right, I'll buy some more rice."

"Yes, Father!"
