Chapter 77 Your whole family is stupid
It seems like the two of them are willing to work just because they have such delicious braised chicken.
Zhao Erhu responded the fastest, "If we don't have braised chicken to eat, we will do a good job for Aunt Xia."
"Yes, yes." Zhao Dahu echoed, "We two brothers Not a greedy person! ”,
But a person who can do things best!
Everyone, "..."
They really didn't see it.
At least when you speak, swallow the chicken in your mouth first, so that it will appear more real.
But again, what about being greedy?
This person's life in this world is nothing more than having enough food and clothing, and living happily. Not to mention that eating is the first priority, and as long as people can eat delicious food, that's not it. Are you happy?
What's more, Xia Mingyue's cooking skills are so good, let alone the two children, even adults like them want to stuff all the food into their stomachs.
So, being greedy is nothing to be ashamed of.
When Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu got up the next morning, they began to carry out the tasks assigned to them by Xia Mingyue.
First of all, go to Nancheng District to find out if there is Ding Quan, and whether, as he said, he is a street vendor.
Secondly, inquire about Ding Quan’s character and reputation and whether there is harmony in his family.
Both of them were children. When they inquired, they also specifically looked for children to ask. The children spoke freely and told everything they knew.
"Thank you." After listening to a little girl who was about the same age as the two brothers talk about Ding Quan, Zhao Dahu opened the veil and gave the other party a small piece of candy.
Children usually don’t have many snacks, and they can’t eat candy every day. Now that they had candy, they immediately put it in their mouths and ran away happily.
Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu then went to find the children nearby.
“Second brother, I don’t quite understand.” Zhao Dahu scratched the back of his head.
"What don't you understand?"
"Since Aunt Xia specially asked us to inquire about Ding Quan because she doesn't know the details, since we are doing business, we just want to inquire about whether he is capable, so why should we inquire about him?" Is the family in harmony? "
Zhao Dahu didn't quite understand, "Don't you just ask about the other person's family background when you talk about marriage? "
He remembered that the matchmaker would do this.
“You’re silly.” Zhao Erhu curled his lips, “Didn’t my parents often say that everything will be happy if the family is harmonious? If the Ding Quan family is harmonious, they will definitely be able to do business well in the future. If the family is harmonious all day long, Quarreling and fighting will make business a mess. ”
"Maybe they will quarrel with each other over making money. Wouldn't it be a big trouble if Aunt Xia's Xia Ji is involved?"
"That's right..." Zhao Dahu thought for a while. Nodding, "It makes some sense."
But after a moment he stared, "You are stupid, your whole family is stupid!"
Zhao Erhu, "..." He was wrong, brother, you are not stupid at all...
While brothers Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu were busy in Nancheng District, someone came to Xia Mingyue's home in the afternoon.
The visitor is Zhang Laifu.
Xia Mingyue narrowed her eyes when she saw him.
Ever since she started selling cakes and later started making Xia Ji, she could see the attitude of many vendors around her towards her.
Many words spoken by many people also float to the ears with the wind.
This Zhang Laifu is not a kind person. It is probably not a good thing if he doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall today for no reason.
But Xia Mingyue's face was still polite and polite, "Shopkeeper Zhang."
"Ms. A bun seller can’t be called shopkeeper. If we talk about it, Madam Xia can only be called shopkeeper Xia.” Mingyue raised her eyebrows, "Does Shopkeeper Zhang have anything to do today?"
The sense of alienation is very obvious.
This made Zhang Laifu's heart sink.
As expected, Jiang Erniu said a lot of bad things about him.
"There is something, indeed there is something, but it is not a big deal. I just want to tell Madam Xia something, so that Madam Xia can be a sensible person and not be deceived by some people."
Zhang Laifu lowered his voice slightly, "Mrs. Xia probably doesn't know that Jiang Erniu is actually not a thing!"
"How do you say this?" Xia Mingyue asked.
“When Lady Xia didn’t come here, Jiang Erniu used to sell sesame cakes on the street, and the business was pretty good. But since Lady Xia started selling meat cakes and vegetarian cakes, Jiang Erniu’s business has declined. It fell to the ground, and it was very difficult to even eat at home."
Zhang Laifu said vividly, "Jiang Erniu was very angry. However, I just felt that Mrs. Xia had robbed him of his business, and I was very resentful. She whispered in my ear more than once, saying that it would be better if Mrs. Xia did not exist. It was Mrs. Xia who caused his bad business. In this way He said the words over and over again, which made my ears feel calluses."
"I advised him to be more open-minded. When it comes to doing business, everyone depends on their ability. Whoever has the ability can make money, and whoever has no ability can only suffer hardship. If the food is not delicious, you can't force others to buy it, right? It was fair, but Jiang Erniu didn't listen at all. He even scolded me, saying that I was meddling in other people's business. Talk.”
“Jiang Erniu and I have known each other for many years, and I didn’t want to break up the relationship over some trivial matter, so I stopped talking to him in front of him, but I still had the chance. He often tried to persuade her, but Jiang Erniu didn’t say anything on his face, but he hated Madam Xia very much in his heart. "
"Before the Dragon Boat Festival, Mrs. Xia went to the grain store to buy grain one afternoon. Wasn't the clerk at the grain store delivered it to Mrs. Xia a little late? When the clerk was arranging the goods in the shop, Jiang Erniu and I both And went to the grain store to buy some flour.”
“As a result, Jiang Erniu knew that Mrs. When they were weighed and piled there, Jiang Erniu even thought of mixing the glutinous rice flour on the side into the flour that Lady Xia wanted! Well, the next day’s business will naturally not be done.”
“Jiang Erniu also makes sesame seeds himself, so he must understand this. It's reasonable, but since he knew it and still wanted to do such a thing, isn't this immoral? I was so angry that I had a fight with Jiang Erniu. Jiang Erniu probably thought that I had seen what happened. When Miss Xia found out later, it was easy to find out that it was him who did it, so she stopped doing it, and Mrs. Xia was saved from a lot of trouble."
" I originally thought that this matter was over, and it didn't matter whether I talked about it or not. But now that Jiang Erniu has started a business with Madam Xia, I feel uneasy no matter what. I'm afraid that Jiang Erniu will hold back something bad. I came to harm Lady Xia, and after much thought I decided that it would be better to tell Lady Xia..."
