Chapter 156 (Monthly Inspection Pass)

After the delivery was completed, there was no matter what the Du family and son were doing.

Even though Du Qi was heartless, his mood at the moment when facing Gui Chongyang became more complicated, and he was no longer blindly close to and friendly.

If it weren't for the forced situation, who would be able to sell land?

The "Master Zhao" before was just a housekeeper, and he could make the county teacher obey. One of the two people in front of him was the magistrate of Sanhe, and the other didn't know what his identity was.

If he was forced to sell the land to the two people in front of him, it would be due to power. Du Qi would not think too much, but he would sell it to the Gui family?

Du Qi felt strange in his heart and looked at Du Lizheng a little worried.

Du Li was planning to plot against the Gui family before, but Du Qi opposed it, but it was useless; if the Gui family held revenge and took revenge on the Du family, Du Qi would naturally be even more powerless to stop it.

Before, because he was aware of the truth from studying and was involved in the relationship with Gui Chongyang, Du Qi was unwilling to target the Gui family because of the past. However, when the two families were fighting, Du Qi naturally did not want his father to be at a disadvantage.

How many people in this world can truly achieve "helping the manager but not the relatives"?

Du Lizheng looked at Zhong Xiaoli, and then looked at Gui Chongyang.

The two of them seemed to have not avoided anything, nor did they pretend to be alienated and disagree.

Gui Chongyang called Zhong Xiaoli "Uncle Zhong", and Zhong Xiaoli also directly called "Chongyang".

However, Zhang Liang was curious and asked Gui Chongyang, saying, "Did you know each other before?"

Gui Chongyang said: "Uncle Zhong and my fifth uncle are the same family. I came back to settle down before, so I also rely on Uncle Zhong for help when I bought land."

Both Zhang Liang and Xu Boping looked at Zhong Xiaoli, and Zhang Liang thoughtfully said: "Your surname is Zhong, what does it have to do with Mr. Zhong Ao Zhong?"

Zhong Ao, a local gentry and one of the local elders.

Xiaoli Zhong hurriedly bowed and said, "The elder mentioned that the elder is the villain's grandfather."

Zhang Liang nodded and said, "You have to worry about the Double Ninth Festival. He has always been a thin-skinned person and doesn't like to ask for help. If you can take care of him in the future, do not let those who are not open to their eyes bully him!"

Gui Chongyang was beside him, but Zhong Xiaoli agreed solemnly.

With the county master guarding him, who can bully Gui Chongyang until the end? These words are just to hit Du Lizheng next to him.

Du Lizheng was still smiling like Maitreya, as if he really felt that Zhang Liang's words had nothing to do with him. Du Qi was very uncomfortable following Du Lizheng, and whispered: "Dad, let's go back!"

There was nothing wrong with the Du family, so Du Lizheng greeted Zhang Liang and took his son out.

Zhong Xiaoli was also tactfully going back and became busy, so Zhang Liang called the two of them into the backyard.

Xu Boping snorted lightly and looked at Zhang Liang and said, "You should restrain yourself from the Zhao family. If they don't keep going like this, it will ruin your future."

Zhang Liang smiled bitterly and said, "I warned me again and again, who would think that someone would commit suicide! Don't worry, I won't be the case!"

Xu Boping waved his hand and said, "You tell your brother and sister to go, don't be impatient and teach me well. I won't go with Chongyang, go out for a walk."

Zhang Liang had to stay again. Xu Boping glanced at Gui Chongyang and gave Zhang Liang a look in private.

Zhang Liang curled his lips and personally sent the two to the door.

I followed Xu Boping and Zhang Liang to the Changsui of Mujia Village before, and I was within ten feet of Xu Boping.

When Xu Boping came out with Gui Chongyang, the Changsui automatically followed.

Gui Chongyang did not pay attention to Changsui, but said tactfully: "The fragrance of flowers is right in front of you. Although it is not a big restaurant, it is better to be clean and convenient. Brother, please follow me to see it?"

I had lunch at Gui's house just now, but was interrupted by the Du family's affairs. Everyone came out after getting the news. They were not full, and now they are really hungry.

Xu Boping nodded and said, "Go and see, it's your property."

It’s better to say it’s to look at people than to look at the store.

Perhaps because he was used to the plot of others, Xu Boping was wary of the Gui family and was worried that they would bully Gui Chongyang and were just young and just a newcomer.

Gui Chongyang saw it and was not unhappy. If he hadn't really cared about him, he wouldn't have been worried about him.

The wharf street where Baiweixiang is located is not far from the county government office. The group of people traveled around. In just a quarter of an hour, they arrived at a Baiweixiang Food Shop.

Gui Chongyang has been here twice. The lobby guy is smart. He already remembers that this is the boss’s nephew and the shopkeeper’s brother. He immediately stepped forward and greeted him: “The third brother is here!”

Gui Chongyang nodded and said, "Is the shopkeeper here today?"

The guy said, "The shopkeeper Touwu is still here, and he went to the main store in the afternoon, but Master Zhou is here."

This "Master Zhou" is naturally not about Gui Qiu's master, but the name "Zhou Dingxiang" they call.

Gui Qiu and Zhou Dingxiang are already well known for their engagement, but they have not yet gotten married, otherwise they would be called "the shopkeeper" or "the shopkeeper's wife".

Gui Chongyang said: "I'll go to the second floor. You sent someone to invite the shopkeeper, saying that there were guests at home."

The guy responded and immediately went to find someone to pass the message.

Gui Chongyang took Xu Boping to the second floor and entered the "Fragrances" since the entry. Xu Boping was careful. Seeing that the diners in the lobby had 80% of them, it was also rare.

It’s now early (3:00 pm), and the meal has passed, but there are still so many customers, which shows the prosperity of business.

Originally, Xu Boping thought it was just an ordinary food shop. The outside looked like the door was not big, but it was different from the inside. But if it were a strong shop and there was more money to enter and exit, would Gui Chongyang's cousin have other ideas? After all, he was the one who was running it.

When I arrived at the second floor, I entered the private room. Gui Chongyang asked Xu Boping what he tasted, and Xu Boping said: "Come with the host!"

The guy brought the tea up. Xu Boping took a bite, savored it carefully, and looked at the tea cup. There was no tea inside, so he couldn't help but wonder.

At this moment, Gui Chongyang had ordered a few meals casually. The guy repeated the confirmation before closing the door and going out.

Xu Boping held the teacup and said curiously: "What kind of tea is this? Why doesn't the fragrance of tea, only the fragrance of rice?"

Gui Chongyang smiled and said, "This is barley tea, which is fried wheat kernels and soaked in water to help digestion and nourish the stomach. This is free tea, and everyone just moistens the mouth.

Xu Boping said: "What a good idea. Could it be the strange idea of ​​the husband during his lifetime?"

Gui Chongyang nodded and said to Youyouheng: "I was young and couldn't eat tea, so my father asked someone to make barley tea with me. Before the shop opened, Qiu Er's brother wanted to contact the tea shop to order some loose tea. I remembered this and tried it. I used this year's new wheat, but fortunately everyone liked it."

Xu Boping showed a look of remembrance and said, "After all, it's a good idea to pinch it casually. Is this recipe confidential?"

Gui Chongyang nodded and said, "I originally thought it was casual, but Brother Qiu said that this recipe could be kept confidential for a while, so he asked someone to make a tea bag with barley and rice paper. But it was easy to investigate. After Brother Qiu discussed it with me, he sold the recipe to two tea shops in the town and got 80 taels of silver."

Gui Qiu is like a natural businessman, and can think of anything at all. Gui Chongyang is also very impressed by this.

Xu Boping said a pity: "It's sold at a low price. If you are under the banner of health preservation, you may not be able to sell it higher."

Gui Chongyang smiled and did not refute Xu Boping's words, but he did not agree with it.

If it is in a prosperous place in Nanjing, Xu Boping's suggestion is feasible; but this is Sanhe County, Tongzhou. Even if it is only a few dozen miles away from Beijing and is located at the canal wharf, it is just a small county town.

As the two were saying this, they heard someone knocking on the door of the private room.

Gui Chongyang got up and opened the door. Zhou Dingxiang stood at the door, holding a plate of cake in his hand, and his eyes didn't look in, saying, "Chongyang, have you brought the guests? A few days ago, I got a new recipe, bitter buckwheat cake, and food in the south. Can you try it and eat it again?"

Gui Chongyang said: "It's a senior brother I know from the south to visit me. Should Sister Zhou come in and speak?"

Zhou Dingxiang had heard that the man who came was a male guest and hurriedly said, "There is still work in the kitchen, so I will come and see you. When your second brother arrives, he will let him talk to the guest." After that, he waved his hands and went downstairs.

Gui Chongyang returned to the private room with bitter buckwheat cakes.

In the white porcelain plate that is long, there are six light green pastries cut into square pieces.

The pastries are still warm and exudes the natural aroma of food.

"That's your future from your cousin's wife? He's so refreshing when he speaks." After Xu Boping said that, he pinched a piece without anyone asking him to take a bite and commented: "The mouth is soft and sweet, and the frosting is added to it but it's not greasy. It's refreshing. This knife-making seasoning is almost as good as the snacks in the imperial kitchen."

Gui Chongyang also took a piece and ate it bite by bit, but he was thinking about Senior Brother Xu's words in his heart.

If the senior brother really came from the Xu family, he was not only a family of the Duke and Marquis, but also a relative of the royal family, and it was cheap to go to and from the palace, and it was also common to eat snacks from the imperial kitchen.

Outside the box.

Gui Qiu stood at the door and was just hearing the words inside, and couldn't help but shake her head.
