Su Yan glared at him and told him not to say these words in the main room, "Ms. sir, I'm going to the kitchen to brew some red beans and use them to make pancakes tomorrow."
Some women don't like eating fish cakes, probably because they have too much fish meat and are a bit boring.
"Okay, I'll help after I put the child on the bed." Qin An carried the child back into the house and blocked the outside with pillows so that even if he woke up, he couldn't roll to the ground.
The two of them were busy working and did not let Cuilan and Zhang Xiu come over to help. The couple wanted to take advantage of this moment to stay a little longer and not see each other for the whole day.
Furthermore, I am not used to the days when I have clothes to wear and food to open my mouth. I have to live my life by myself to be fulfilled.
The next morning, Su Yan asked Zhang Xiu to guard the stall, and then went to Wu's shop.
Le'an branch-Wu Ji.
She had never been here before, and neither the shopkeeper nor the helper knew her. They said directly: "Uncle, let me find your boss."
The shopkeeper said kindly: "Our boss hasn't come yet, it will probably be a while. What do you want to see him for?"
"Then tell him later that the Qin family's wife has something to do with him."
Just as Su Yan was about to go out, Guo Kun came in from the door. As soon as he saw her, he greeted: "I went to the town to look for you yesterday, and it turned out that you came to the county town."
"Well, my family came to the county town to study." Su Yan explained.
"Let's go to the attic to talk. Uncle Dong, ask someone to bring some cakes and scented tea." Guo Kun walked in front.
attic
After the helper sent out the scented tea and cakes, Su Yan directly explained the purpose of her visit, "Are you familiar with the owner of Manxiangji?"
"It's not very good. Now you are robbing their business and causing trouble for us behind the scenes." Guo Kun said helplessly.
Su Yan nodded, "The young master from Manxiangji bullied my husband in private school, and his wife said she would cause trouble for me."
"I think instead of waiting for her to cause trouble, I should take the initiative to solve the trouble."
"I can help your business get better, but you have to help us resist Manxiangji."
Even if Su Yan didn't say anything, Guo Kun was still thinking of a way, and Man Xiang Ji kept trying to cause trouble, which was not an option. He agreed: "My two families can't speak the same language as the three families."
"What do you want to do about this?"
"I see that Manxiangji is mainly based on the Beijing flavor, which is heavy on sweetness and spicy. As long as your shop can make it, customers who like sweet and spicy food can come here." Su Yan naturally asked about Manxiangji.
The only thing that the shop cannot replace is that he has a chef from the capital, and there is no other shop selling this flavor in the county.
At that time, they only need to be slightly cheaper to divert some of the customers from Manxiangji.
Guo Kun naturally thought about this method, "It's not easy to make. I asked people to buy it several times. The chef tried to make it, but he couldn't control the sweet and spicy taste. It was either too greasy or too spicy, covering up the taste of the ingredients.
"
"Send someone to buy a few signature dishes. I'll take them home and study them. Mixing sweet and spicy is not that difficult. I've been to the capital. As long as the order is right, there should be no problem." Su Yan said.
Guo Kun nodded, "Okay, I'll have someone sell it and send it to you. Where do you live now?"
"The fifth house on Wutong Lane."
"good."
The two discussed it and reconciled the accounts for the past half year. The business of Wu's branch was better than Su Yan imagined. The two levels of reds for the past half year can be divided into 748 taels.
The Wu family also has some connections, and has taken over banquets from many wealthy families, costing a hundred taels of silver at a time.
Su Yan exchanged the banknote and kept it in her own name, then went around to the market to buy some vegetables and went home.
Before she reached her door, she saw a group of people gathered around her door. Her expression changed and she hurried over and saw Zhang Xiu's red cheeks.
She protected in front of the stall, preventing Mrs. Li and the two helpers she had brought from getting up.
"Xiaoxiu, let her lift it."
She strode over and pulled Zhang Xiu behind her. Then she looked at Ren Li coldly, "If I were you, I wouldn't be so stupid. I beat people and set up stalls in broad daylight. Is it possible that the county government office belongs to your family?"
Ren Li's expression changed, but he would not be frightened by her, "Stop trying to scare me, just lift it up. I'll smash it every time you open it."
Su Yan stood and let them lift her. The house was full of women, so it would definitely not work if they fought head-on.
The good stall was smashed to pieces, and the onlookers didn't dare to say anything. Su Yan didn't say anything either, she just said to Zhang Xiu: "Xiao Xiu, go to the Yamen and beat the drum, let the county magistrate see some people are doing this in broad daylight.
If you dare to commit murder next time."
Zhang Xiu was a little scared, but she still covered her face and walked towards the Yamen. When Ren Li saw that they were really going, she quickly asked someone to stop Zhang Xiu, "As long as you dare to go, I will let you stay in the county seat."
Don’t go down.”
Su Yan's face remained unchanged, "Then let's see who can't stay in the county town. Xiaoxiu, go, I'm going to see if they have the ability to beat people to death."
"If we can't be beaten to death today, we will have to crawl to get to the Yamen."
Ms. Ren Li would not have the guts to beat anyone to death in broad daylight.
Ren Li didn't expect that she wasn't afraid, so she opened her mouth and said, "Don't forget, your guy is still studying. I have many acquaintances in the academy. It's easy to bully him."
Su Yan suddenly smiled and said, "I'm not telling you that even ten scholars can't defeat my man."
"If he were at home right now, you guys would have been thrown out of this alley long ago."
"But I won't fight with you today. Fighting is too rude. It's better to go to the Yamen and settle things more politely."
There was a stalemate between the two parties. Ren Li was also afraid that she would report to the official, so he could not leave immediately or not, so he could only stare at her fiercely.
Seeing that she refused to leave, Su Yan said: "It's okay if you don't want me to sue the police. First, if you hit my girl, I have to pay her back. I'll pay you back as many times as you want."
"Second, if you destroy my stall, you can restore it to me. Third, you are not allowed to come to my house to cause trouble in the future. If you can agree, we will not go to the Yamen."
It was impossible for Mrs. Ren Li to agree to the first item alone. She said "hehe" and said, "Let you go. At most, I will pay more money. A few dozen taels of silver is not a problem for my family."
"A few dozen taels of silver should be enough for you to earn for several months!"
Just as Su Yan was about to say something, the child in the room started crying. She subconsciously stood at the door and straightened her back slightly, "You have to check when you bully others. Your family doesn't lack these dozens of taels, and neither does my family."
There are dozens of taels missing.”
"My family owns the main store in Le'an. I also have a store and a fish pond in the county town. I also own 20% of the Wu family's branch store. I set up a stall selling fish cakes, so I'm not poor. It's just that unlike you, I'll be fine after eating for a day.
Dry."
"Your family is still in business. You don't understand what it means to be low-key? Have you never learned that a big tree attracts wind?"
"If you come to my house to cause trouble today, my family will not let Manxiangji go."
"You can be ignorant, but you can't be stupid."
When she heard that Le'an Shop was owned by her family, Ms. Ren Li was a little shocked and disbelieving, "Who are you kidding?"
The children in the room were crying louder and louder. Su Yan was heartbroken, but she couldn't let it go now. "You can find out more before we start making trouble. But today we have to go to the Yamen. I want to ask the county magistrate why someone is in the county seat."
