After seeing Marshal Li's rapid rise to prominence, distant relatives packed their daughter into the handsome man's house to serve as Miss Li's de facto personal maid.
Under such circumstances, this Xiaocui is actually a lowly and powerful person.
After all, Miss Li often takes good care of this distant cousin. When walking outside, Xiaocui is almost equivalent to Miss Li's representative.
The only problem is that Xiao Cui is not good-looking. She has a black birthmark on her face and a beard on her lips.
When Huo Zhishan saw this portrait for the first time, he thought Xiaocui was a man.
Of course, it was precisely because of this that Miss Li regarded Xiao Cui as her confidant.
If Xiaocui was too beautiful, Miss Li might not feel too comfortable.
After all, red flowers must be paired with green leaves.
Miss Li's beautiful face, if not for her personal maid Xiaocui, her glory would probably be reduced by 30%.
And if Xiaocui is too beautiful, Miss Li will be overshadowed by her beauty, which she will never allow.
It has to be said that Huo Zhishan is indeed a prodigal in love.
Although he has never successfully attracted a girl in his life, due to his unremitting efforts, Xiaocui has developed a certain liking for him.
After all, girls like Xiaocui actually have very low self-esteem and think that they will never be able to get married. Even if they can get married, they will have to fill a house for others or marry a widower.
This kind of ending is not what Xiaocui wants.
But in the past, every man Xiaocui fell in love with would stay away from her after seeing her honor.
Even the guys who bravely appeared in front of her were all going after Miss Li. Otherwise, they might not even be willing to say a word to Xiao Cui.
Under such circumstances, Huo Zhishan, who was gentle and considerate and showed no disgust at all when he saw her, quickly opened her heart.
Some people call love something like honey, and some people call it poison wrapped in honey.
After Xiaocui fell in love, she fell straight into love. She basically obeyed Huo Zhishan's words.
So when Miss Li returned to the provincial capital after seeing that the charity hospital was running well, Xiao Cui actually left with Huo Zhishan!
When Fang Xiaoyue, who was busy in the blacksmith shop, learned the news, she couldn't help but be a little stunned.
Huo Zhishan is indeed a capable person.
You have been brought to such a state by your own misfortune, and yet you are still able to turn around?
Of course? From the fact that he didn't say goodbye to Fang Xiaoyue when he left, it can be seen that Huo Zhishan may have seen his intentions, or he was extremely ashamed and embarrassed to come to him to say goodbye.
But the second possibility is almost non-existent.
Would a bad wolf like Huo Zhishan be ashamed?
Definitely not.
At this time, Fang Xiaoyue felt that the direction of things was somewhat out of her control.
Are you going to wait like this? What awaits you in the end will definitely be disaster!
He can judge this.
After all, Huo Zhishan went to the provincial capital? Even with Xiaocui's help? The possibility of turning over again is as high as 90%!
Never underestimate the correction of historical inertia.
Although this change will not be so direct, for a small place like Nanxiang County, there is actually not much difference between Huo Zhishan becoming a division commander and becoming a minor official under Marshal Li.
Waiting for Huo Zhishan to return home in glory with the power of Marshal Li? It would be very easy for a villain like him to bring disaster to a restaurant and its owner.
At least, the county magistrate did not dare to disobey Miss Li's confidant uncle.
Forget it, I'd better go to the provincial capital myself.
With his current strength that has reached 40%, even if Huo Zhishan turns around and sets sail? He may not be able to do anything to him when he comes back.
But the problem is that he thought of something. Although the main mission is to protect Cui Shangui's daughter Cui Xiaoying, but if Huo Zhishan can make a comeback and remain in this situation, he will probably gain a lot of benefits.
Fang Xiaoyue rubbed her sore brow and made a decision.
"What? Boss, are you planning to open a branch? Or in a provincial capital?"
"Is this a great thing? Master? Just send me to open a branch this time!"
........
After Shangui Restaurant closed down, Fang Xiaoyue hosted a meeting of all employees of Shangui Restaurant and announced his expansion plan.
Shopkeeper Liao, the chef and the waiter are all very excited about this expansion plan.
Among them, Fang Xiaoyue's apprentices all recommended themselves and wanted to take charge of the preparation work of the branch.
Fang Xiaoyue was not surprised by this.
After years of training, his apprentices' cooking skills can be said to be good enough. What's more, running a branch is much more enjoyable than being watched and lectured by the master every day in the main store.
Besides, who doesn’t have some ideas for making achievements?
Unfortunately, they can only be disappointed this time.
Fang Xiaoyue reached out and pressed down, and the bustling restaurant suddenly became silent.
Over the years, Fang Xiaoyue's prestige has become unbreakable in everyone's hearts.
"This trip to the provincial capital to open a branch is a crucial step for the restaurant, so I plan to go there in person. Yao Cheng and you guys will go with me. The rest of you must...
..."
Bala, bala, Fang Xiaoyue said a lot of words, making everyone's expressions constantly change.
Well, there is nothing wrong with the boss going there in person.
The people who were left behind felt confused and became happy. The boss was gone, there were no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey was the king.
Yao Cheng and others, who were decided to be taken away to the provincial capital by Fang Xiaoyue, looked slightly downcast.
When I went to open a branch and was stared at by the master, it seemed a little uncomfortable.
After making the decision, Fang Xiaoyue immediately arranged for Cui Xiaoying, and Niu Xiaoming naturally stayed in Nanxiang County as his martial arts apprentice.
After all, as time has passed, Niu Xiaoming's kung fu has improved a lot. Although he is still not as good as Cui Xiaoying, he is more or less a good player. Therefore, staying at home to protect Cui Xiaoying and having multiple human shields can also make him feel more at ease.
As for whether Niu Xiaoming would be a thief, Fang Xiaoyue couldn't care less. After all, after learning martial arts these days, the relationship between Cui Xiaoying and Niu Xiaoming was almost exposed.
It is impossible for him to directly beat the mandarin ducks.
After arranging everything and appointing the first chef of the restaurant, Fang Xiaoyue took the people on the carriage to the provincial capital after Cui Xiaoying saw her off in tears.
This is also a helpless thing.
Although Dongju is now rapidly integrating with the world, there are still very few cars in a small place like Nanxiang County, and public transportation either relies on walking or renting horse-drawn carriages.
