Master of Rebirth

"The reason why my shop can be opened depends entirely on your craftsmanship. Since these are your painstaking efforts, you should keep them well, and I will not occupy them." Wang Qi said.

Mrs. Ma hurriedly said: "Young master, you opened the store and you hired the old lady, so these formulas are naturally yours too."

Wang Qi shook her hand and interrupted her, "Of course I know Granny Ma's sincerity. But after all, this store depends on you to support it. Even if I give you half of the store, I am willing. I am just afraid that doing so will affect the Ah Man's future."

After hearing this, Mrs. Ma was taken aback.

"The laws of our country stipulate that the descendants of merchants are not allowed to take part in the imperial examination. It is because of the identity of this merchant that I will never be able to be in the officialdom in my life, and I will regret it for the rest of my life." Wang Qi's words are filled with deep loss: "If the storefront Give you half, and you will become a businessman, which will definitely affect Ah Man's future future. If you trust me, I can give you half of the dividend according to the partner's specifications, but I can't leave any written notes Documents can only rely on word of mouth. Can you trust me?"

"It doesn't matter whether Ah Man can take the imperial examination in the future, it's hard for the young master to think about him like this." I didn't expect Wang Qi to plan for Zhao Aman to this extent. Ma Pozi was moved to tears, and she knelt down and said: "Our ancestors Sun can eat and eat thanks to the young master's great kindness, how dare he ask for more? The young master said this, but the old lady is offended. What can we do, the half of the dividend, the old lady can't accept anything."

Wang Qi hurriedly helped Mrs. Ma up, and said, "This is what you deserve. Since it is a partnership, the word 'trust' is what you pay attention to. You can keep the secret recipe yourself. If I break my promise in the future, You can bring the secret recipe to your next home at any time, what do you think?"

"Master, if you say that, you look down on the old lady. How could our grandchildren do such treacherous things because of your great kindness? The old lady can't take the half of the dividend."

Seeing that Mrs. Ma refused to accept the half of the dividend, Wang Qi had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, "Well, you still receive the monthly salary. As for the half of the dividend, I will save it for Ah Man. When he is full , with this money, it will be easier to do what you want.”

Mrs. Ma still disagreed, and finally asked Wang Qi to reduce half of the dividend to a quarter, and she reluctantly accepted.But Wang Qi insisted not to accept the secret recipe.Mrs. Ma couldn't refuse, so she could only do as he wanted.

Carrying the wooden box back to the room, Mrs. Ma was still in a daze.

Seeing that she was not in good spirits, Zhao Aman quickly helped her to sit down and said, "Grandma is tired?"

Looking up at Zhao Aman, Mrs. Ma smiled and said, "I'm not tired. Aman, go and make me a fire."

It's dog days right now, what do you want to do?Although he didn't understand, Zhao Aman lit a pot of fire according to his words.

Seeing the fire in front of her, Madam Ma opened the wooden box in her hand, took out the secret recipe inside, and threw it into the brazier without hesitation.

"Grandma, what are you doing? Isn't this the secret recipe for making dim sum?" Zhao Aman was in a hurry, and rushed to grab it from the basin.

Mrs. Ma grabbed him, and said with firm eyes: "Aman, you have to remember that anyone can see what is written on paper. Therefore, important things should not be written on paper, but should be recorded in the paper. Here." Madam Ma pointed to Zhao Aman's forehead.

Zhao Aman was stunned for a moment, and then understood: "I understand grandma."

"He's such a smart boy." Granny Ma said with great satisfaction, stroking Zhao Aman's head.

Looking up at Linglongzhai in front of her, Ma Pozi thought: "Aman is a dragon trapped in the pond. He will definitely be able to soar into the sky when he grows up. With her in the way, although the two brothers of the Wang family are not easy-going lamps, Wang Qi has been kind to them first. A few days ago, she deliberately tried the secret recipe, and Wang Qi's actions were beyond her expectations. On the other hand, Wang Long has no tolerance for others, and even his own cousin has to plot secretly, so can he be expected to be kind to others? Wang Long's thinking about her is probably in vain. gone."

"You trash, why can't you even deal with a poor old woman?" Wang Long angrily threw a cup of iced tea on Jin Bao.

Even though the weather is very hot, this iced tea still cools Jin Bao down.

I thought Mrs. Ma was very easy to win over, and she would come over with some sweetness.Unexpectedly, the old woman turned out to be a master who didn't eat oil and salt, and didn't eat soft and hard food.Jin Bao pestered her for several days, saying all good things, but she was unmoved.In the past few days, he simply lived in Linglongzhai, not even returning to Wang's house, and made it clear that he was avoiding them.

Jin Bao also felt very aggrieved: "Second Master, the young one really tried his best. I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup the young master poured into that poor woman, but he followed him wholeheartedly. The young one said everything, and there was no benefit in it." Yes, it’s useless at all. The little ones are really useless.”

"Since Mrs. Ma can't dig it out, do you have any other way to get the formula?" Wang Long forced himself to suppress the fire.

Jin Bao said: "The old woman covered the formula tightly, and she didn't tell anyone. Chang'an and Changshun only knew a little bit. The little one also sneaked into her room to look for it, but found nothing."

"That's true." Wang Long snorted coldly: "This is the lifeblood of her food. If it is so easy for people to know, what does Wang Qi want her old woman to do? Doesn't that old woman have a grandson? He knows something?"

Jin Bao said: "That little Zhao Ahman also went to look for it, but unfortunately that kid stays in Wang Qi's study every day and rarely comes out. Besides, he hasn't even been to Linglongzhai, even if he asks, Probably don't know anything."

"Bah, Wang Qi confessed like an old man to these two lowly bastards. He is really as lowly as them." Wang Long said in a deep voice, "Where is Zhang Wang, why didn't he come with you."

When mentioning Zhang Wang, Jin Bao felt angry, but he had to help cover it up, "He knows he won't do well, so he dare not come here."

"Huh, he also knows that he is not good at things. You tell him that if you don't come again next time, he doesn't have to come."

"Yes." Jin Bao hesitated for a moment, but still bit the bullet and said, "It's about Mrs. Ma."

A trace of insidiousness flashed in Wang Long's eyes: "Since being soft is not enough, then we can only be hard."

Looking at Wang Long's gloomy face, Jin Bao couldn't help shivering.

On the second day, Wang Jiafu birthday hall.

"Grandma, you call me." Wang Qi respectfully saluted Mrs. Wang and Li.

Looking up at him, Wang Lishi snorted coldly: "Do you still remember me as a grandma?"

Every time Mrs. Wang and Li asked to see him, nothing good happened.I'm afraid that knowing that Linglongzhai's business is going well these few days, he feels unhappy, so he intends to make him feel unhappy.

Wang Qi said calmly: "Why did grandma say that?"

Wang Lishi wiped her face with a handkerchief, but did not speak.Knowing that she was in the rhythm of making trouble, Wang Qi could not hold her breath, stood still, and did not open her mouth to ask again.

Seeing that Wang Qi was not up to the trick, Mrs. Xue quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Uncle, it is for your own good that grandma is in a hurry to get a concubine for you. That Fang'er was selected by grandma, so it's fine if you don't want it. Why are you still in public?" Make others look bad? Even if you want to look at grandma's face, you have to save some face for other girls."

Wang Qi smiled heartily, it has been such a long time, and Mrs Wang and Li hadn't mentioned this before, so she probably knew what shameful things that Fang'er had done.The reason why she postponed the attack until now is probably because she felt that the time was too long, and everyone had almost forgotten what happened before, so it was convenient for her to talk to herself.

I looked around for a while, but I really didn't see Fang'er.Wang Qi smiled and kicked the ball back: "Brother and sister didn't understand what the brother and sister said. Miss Fang'er just sent something back and went back. What's so shameful? Could it be that Miss Fang'er did something wrong?" A decent thing, let people see it?"

What Fang'er did, of course, Xue Shi knew in her heart.Being blocked by Wang Qi, Xue choked.

"Besides, the three-year filial piety period for my grandson hasn't passed yet, so I'm so anxious to take a concubine, I'm afraid grandma will blame me for being unfilial to my parents." Wang Qi said grandly.

Daliang's law stipulates that within three years of the death of a parent's close relative, an official must sue "Ding You" to return to his hometown to observe filial piety, and after the filial piety is completed, he will be asked to return to his post. During the "three years" of filial piety, they cannot participate in banquets, couples cannot have intercourse, and wives and concubines cannot have children, otherwise they will be punished if they are reported.Although the folks do not have so many restrictions, they cannot marry in the observance of filial piety.

"Look at what uncle said, it's just taking a concubine, not marrying a wife, how can you be so particular about it." Knowing that she was wrong, Xue immediately turned around and said, "Uncle, your Linglongzhai is so popular, why don't you tell me about it?" Grandma said. Yesterday, Grandpa’s wife asked grandma if she was tired of eating dim sum at home. Grandma didn’t know how to answer the question. It’s impossible to say that not only did she not eat a bite of dim sum, but she didn’t even know about the grandson’s opening of the shop. That's a lot of slaps in the uncle's face."

"I'm an old woman half buried in the earth, how can I eat such expensive snacks." Wang Lishi interjected in a strange way.

Wang Qi had expected her to come here a long time ago, and had already left the way, "Grandma, it's not my grandson who is stingy. After the dim sum was made, I also sent a few boxes to grandma. But didn't my siblings say at the time that grandma didn't like it?" Eat sweets, have you fed all of them to the dogs?"

Some time ago, Wang Long suffered a loss, so Wang Li and Xue naturally put this account on Wang Qi.Wang Li even tried every means to make Wang Qi unhappy.On that day, Wang Qi sent someone to deliver snacks. Wang Li thought he had seized the opportunity, and scolded Wang Qi for being ignorant and playful. In front of many servants, she asked Xue to throw the snacks out to feed the dogs. Don't lose face of Wang Qi.There was a lot of trouble about this matter, and everyone in the house knew about it.

When mentioning the previous incident, how proud Xue was at the time, how uncomfortable he is now.

Wang Lishi didn't care, and said directly: "What's the matter, do you still hate your grandma? I said I don't like it, so you won't give it away."

Knowing that she was looking for trouble, Wang Qi said with a smile: "If grandma wants to eat snacks, grandson will naturally pick them up and bring them."

"No need." Wang Li said as it should be: "The dim sum in your store is not to my liking. I heard that you hired an old woman named Ma to make dim sum for you, so let her come over for a few minutes Oh my god, let her cook whatever snacks I want."

It turned out that he was waiting here. It seems that Wang Lishi didn't just call him here this time to find him unhappy.Wang Qi sneered in her heart.It's not like he didn't know what Wang Long was doing in private these days.Unexpectedly, instead of poaching Mrs. Ma secretly, she wanted to rob her openly.Wang Qi really dare not compliment the thickness of Wang Long and Wang Li's skin.

"The dim sum in the shop is all made by Mrs. Ma. Since grandma doesn't like the dim sum in my shop, it won't suit you if Mrs. Ma comes over." Wang Qi said.

Wang Lishi said impatiently: "You let her come over first, and then I will decide whether it suits my liking or not."

"I'm afraid it won't work." Wang Qi said firmly.

Wang Li was very angry, and squinted his eyes and said: "What do you mean, I am your grandma, I have raised you for so many years, now you don't even want to honor me with a piece of snack?"

"Grandma misunderstood." Wang Qi said unhurriedly: "Grandma Ma has something to do at home and has returned home. I'm afraid she won't be back until a few months. If you want to eat the dim sum she made, you have to wait for a while. "

Wang Li obviously didn't believe it, "Don't fool me with this. If she leaves, who will make the dim sum in your shop."

"Since you know you can't do without her in the store, why bother to ask her to come?" With a sneer in her heart, Wang Qi said, "In the past few days, Chang'an and Changshun are busy with the business in the store."

Although she knew that Wang Qi must be evading it on purpose, Wang Li couldn't find any evidence, so she could only get angry.

Mrs. Xue said softly: "Grandma, why don't you do this? There is a girl named Xiaocui beside me. She is not only ingenious, but also has learned pastry. Let her go to the uncle's shop to learn for a few days, so she can cook for you when she comes back." eat."

Wang Lishi immediately said: "Okay, that's it. Qi'er, you will take that girl away later, and let her learn it."

"Okay, my grandson will ask Wang Sheng to take her to the shop tomorrow." Wang Qi said straightforwardly without refusing.

Seeing that the goal has been achieved, Wang Lishi stopped.

Xue Shi, who was beating her back on the side, also secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
