Chapter 43 Sprained Foot
“If dad knows about it, I’ll tell him.” Jiang Erniu said, “And this silver lock is sent to the pawn shop, not for sale. After making money, we can It’s okay to go and redeem it.”
“As for the second uncle, I told the second aunt first. The second aunt is the most sensible. I’m not going to do anything inappropriate. I’ll wait until I pay back the money. I think the second aunt will agree if I give you some benefits."
The Feng family, especially the eldest brother Feng Dali, is not satisfied with the situation of his family. If Feng goes back and speaks, he will definitely be criticized. For a while.
Jiang Erniu felt that as a man, he still had to take responsibility for this kind of thing.
Feng understood what Jiang Erniu was thinking, felt warm in her heart, and felt that what Jiang Erniu said seemed to make sense.
Once you make money and redeem it, just pretend that nothing happened, the best of both worlds.
But what if...
Feng Shi just thought about it and quickly shook his head.
Bah, bah, bah, the business hasn’t even been done yet, so you’re just saying depressing words?
This is the food made by Ms. Xia who joined the franchise, and it will definitely sell well.
Furthermore, my man is a down-to-earth man who is not afraid of hardship. He works hard in business, so why can’t he succeed?
Feng thought of this and nodded, "It's all up to you."
Seeing that his wife was always willing to support her wholeheartedly, Jiang Erniu felt warm in his heart and secretly made up his mind. You must do your best to join Madam Xia's business.
If nothing else, just for the trust of my wife...
The next day when I went to the county school to deliver the cold wrappers, Xia Mingyue came to deliver them in person. After delivering them, she did not hand them over to the concierge, but waited at the door.
At noon, school breaks up in the county school. Students who live in the county school all go to the small canteen of the county school to find food to satisfy their hunger. Students who live in the county school also choose to go home to eat, so they go out in twos and threes. door.
Zhang Mingyi and Fan Pingyang came to the concierge to get food as usual.
When he learned that Xia Mingyue had delivered it in person today, he hurriedly went out and said, "Hello, Mrs. Xia."
"Hello, gentlemen." Xia Mingyue felt blessed and pretended to be He handed over the bamboo basket full of cold wrappers and pancakes, "This is the food you want. Count the cold wrappers and pancakes."
"Ms. Xia, there is only a lot of food here, so there is no need to count it." Zhang Mingyi handed over the money bag he had prepared and reported the amount of food he wanted for tomorrow.
The number of cold wrappers increases by half, while the number of pancakes decreases accordingly.
After all, although pancakes are delicious, they cannot be eaten every day. The new product tastes good and is more suitable for the increasingly hot weather. It is reasonable for it to be popular.
Xia Mingyue had already expected it, so she checked the quantity with Zhang Mingyi again and wrote it down carefully.
"It would be better if Madam Xia could do something else to eat in the future." Fan Pingyang looked around and after making sure there was no one else nearby, he lowered his voice and said, "Wei in the county school canteen. The taste of the food cooked by the chef is really indescribable, and those who have enough money mostly buy food outside. ”
"Exactly." Zhang Mingyi also nodded, "Nowadays, we students secretly pool money to buy food from Madam Xia, but because of Chef Wei's face, we don't dare to make it too public, and although Madam Xia's food is delicious, , but it’s a bit simple, and the quantity you buy each time is limited. If Madam Xia can provide more types of food, she can make a lot more money every day.”
"I understand what you two gentlemen mean. During this time, I will try to make some delicious food that is convenient for delivery here."
Xia Mingyue agreed and took the opportunity. He mentioned, "It's just that I have something to trouble you two gentlemen. I don't know which gentleman can have this leisure time."
"Mrs. Xia, you might as well tell me if you have something to say." Zhang Mingyi said.
“I recently wanted to do business with others as a partnership, and I wanted to sign a contract. However, I don’t know many Chinese characters, and I can write even less. The other party doesn’t know any characters either, and neither of us knows anything that can be ghostwritten. I am a scholar, so I want to trouble a gentleman to write for me.”
Xia Mingyue said, "I will pay for the pen and ink as usual, so that Lang Jun will not waste his efforts in vain."
The two of them saw Xia Mingyue speaking quite seriously before, and thought it was some big deal, but now they have to Knowing that it was just a ghostwriter, he hurriedly agreed, "It's just a small matter. When does Madam Xia want to ask for this certificate?" "That's it. These two days are not particularly urgent, just give the two husbands some free time."
Zhang Mingyi thought for a while, "Master Shen will take leave tomorrow, and Xia will not be too busy tomorrow afternoon. The lady can come at the end of the day tomorrow."
"Then I'll bother you two."
"Ms. Xia, you're welcome."
After exchanging a few words, Zhang Mingyi and Fan Pingyang went back with all the food, while Xia Mingyue walked back.
The streets today are as lively as usual, with people coming and going and the sound of hawking going on.
Walking west along the street from Dongcheng District, Xia Mingyue watched the sun rise into the sky and quickened her pace.
A carriage came oncoming, and the driver swung the whip in his hand in a hurry.
When the people around him saw this, they all gave way, and Xia Mingyue also hurriedly stood aside.
An old woman on the side also stepped back, but because of panic, she lost her balance and leaned to one side.
"Ouch..."
Seeing that she was about to hit a stall selling tofu next to her, the old woman screamed in fright.
Xia Mingyue had quick eyes and quick hands. She reached out to hold the old woman's arm and help her stabilize her body.
"Auntie, are you okay?" Xia Mingyue asked with concern.
"Thank you, little lady." The old woman came back to her senses and thanked Xia Mingyue repeatedly, "I'm fine, I'm fine. Thank you very much, little lady, otherwise I would have to give up the tofu stall. I'm afraid I can't afford the money if it's damaged."
"Thank you so much, little lady." The old woman expressed her gratitude to Xia Mingyue again.
"Auntie, you're polite." He nodded repeatedly and raised his feet to leave.
But before he could take a step, he let out another "ouch" and almost fell to his knees.
“What’s wrong, ma’am?” Xia Mingyue hadn’t left yet, so she supported her again.
"My ankle hurts so much." Sweat broke out on the old woman's forehead, and her voice was trembling a little, "I think I just sprained my ankle."
Xia Mingyue squatted He bent down and took a look.
The old woman's left ankle was obviously red and swollen visibly. It was obvious that she could no longer walk.
Xia Mingyue raised her eyes and looked around, and saw a medical center not far away.
Sprained feet in the elderly is not a trivial matter, and it is best to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
"There is a medical center ahead. Shall I take my aunt to see a doctor first?" Xia Mingyue asked while supporting the old woman.
“I brought the money, so I’ll go and see the doctor first.” The old woman nodded, “I just want to trouble the young lady.”
“Madam, you don’t have to be so polite. "Xia Mingyue supported the old woman with all her strength, trying to lean her body weight on herself so that she would not use her ankles excessively.
