"I've heard from all this way that someone wants to deal with me? Who is so bold?" As soon as An Zichen finished speaking, a figure walked in from the courtyard gate. He was obviously the protagonist that the two of them had just been talking about.
Zheng Ying took a sip of tea and sat upright to watch the show. Every time the two of them had a contest, each time it ended with Chang Ji setting up a formation.
"You kid, are you finally willing to come back?" An Zichen looked at the energetic young man striding in front of him, stepped forward and punched him on the shoulder.
"Major General An, please spare your life. Now that my body has been hollowed out, I have no energy to compete with you!" Changji held his waist and stepped back.
"Something promising! What does it look like to fall into the gentle country and be unable to get out as soon as you come back? Look at the general, he is not a womanizer, he only focuses on fighting..." An Zichen taught him a lesson. It was true that he didn't save any face for Zheng Ying.
.
"There's nothing we can do. Our third child is already two years old. My wife said it's time to have a fourth child. Don't I have to work hard?"
The two of them talked and talked about the building.
Zheng Ying, who was ready to watch the show, looked confused.
What's going on with these two people? Let's just forget that they didn't discuss each other, and you deliberately gave him eye drops?
Knowing that the old man is forcing them to get married, these two people did it on purpose.
——
The new house has been packed up, and the courtyard is no longer busy. They are busy preparing for the move. The candy business just stopped yesterday, and today two uninvited guests came to the courtyard.
Xia Qiyue sat on the kang slowly, looking at the anxious middle-aged man opposite and saying nothing.
The man opposite him also drank tea incessantly, his eyes looking everywhere, and he made no sound for a while.
She and her children were the only ones at home now, and everyone else was busy moving. She stayed with her children because she had something to do today, but before she could go out, there was a knock on the courtyard door.
After an unknown amount of time, Shopkeeper Wang couldn't hold it in any longer and spoke first.
That's right, sitting next to him was the shopkeeper of Wang Ji Candy Shop, the father of the concubine of the Minister of Household Affairs. He bullied others and even sent someone to hurt An Zihao's leg.
"Boss Xia, you suddenly stopped doing business, which is very disturbing!" Shopkeeper Wang said bluntly.
Xia Qiyue smiled and did not directly answer Shopkeeper Wang's words. He only said, "I have something to do at home. I will stop it for the time being. I will start doing it later!"
In fact, she knew that several of the people who came to buy candies every day were sent by Wang Ji. After buying them, he would increase the price and sell them in the shop to attract customers.
Now that she has stopped selling, his business will naturally be affected.
But she was just doing business normally, and she wouldn't stop selling to Shopkeeper Wang just because he had a grudge against her. She collected money as usual. As for Shopkeeper Wang's increased price and he could still sell, that was his ability. As for talking to Mr. Wang
Cooperation? Absolutely impossible.
So when shopkeeper Wang came to her door today, she just treated her as an ordinary customer.
"Boss Xia, aren't you afraid of losing customers?" Shopkeeper Wang endured his anxiety and planned to seduce customers step by step.
Xia Qiyue shook her head, "The aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley. People who like to eat will not stop eating it just because I stopped business for a few days. After all, I am the only one who has this candy!"
Shopkeeper Wang's face looks ugly, isn't it? Only she has this candy, and he also wants his people to learn how to make it, but after so long, there is no progress at all.
The halva is not crisp enough or sweet enough, and the nougat cannot be made at all. They can taste that it is made from milk, but they can't make it taste like her.
If Xia Qiyue knew that shopkeeper Wang wanted to copy her candies, she would definitely laugh and cry.
First of all, they don't have the white sugar produced by Her Space. Youde only has brown sugar, and it's not sweet enough, let alone crispy.
Furthermore, don't even think about nougat. The problem with milk powder is something that they cannot solve even after several reincarnations.
Xia Qiyue's answer completely broke shopkeeper Wang's inner defense. Now Wang Ji still has many customers waiting to buy candies, including several who came from the capital specifically. He can't get out the candies.
It’s hard to explain.
My daughter has just received some attention from her master, but she cannot be ruined by him again.
If he is kept in another hospital and is not taken back to the capital, what future will he have?
"Boss Xia, to be honest, Wang Ji bought candies from you and resold them. Now, there are many customers waiting to buy candies in the shop. I have no choice. I heard yesterday that your business has stopped, so I
I've been anxious, why don't I come to visit in person, if you have a lot of candies here, sell them to me first to help me out!"
He speaks sincerely, has a good attitude when asking for help, and speaks as if the two people have a close friendship, and even speaks as if they are partners.
Xia Qiyue was unmoved. She spread her hands and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint shopkeeper Wang. If you want to eat sweets, come back when I open. I can't do it now because the workers are not here!"
Shopkeeper Wang became even more anxious upon hearing this and wanted to say something, but Xia Qiyue stood up.
"As for Wang Ji's business, I'm sorry, I can't control that. Besides, our candy company doesn't cooperate with anyone! Although we have cooperated with Li Ji before, we don't have it now, and we won't have it in the future!"
"Boss Xia, don't be so helpless!" Shopkeeper Wang's face changed, and anger reached his eyes.
"Shopkeeper Wang is exaggerating. It's just candy, and it's not a drug. You won't die if you don't eat for a few days! Sorry, I have to go out. Shopkeeper Wang, please come!"
Making a gesture of invitation, Xia Qiyue looked at Shopkeeper Wang who was so angry that he wanted to bite someone with a cold face. Xia Qiyue showed no fear.
Moreover, the place they worked on was only the west wing. Now there is nothing in the Italian wing except empty tables, chairs and benches.
When has Shopkeeper Wang ever experienced such humiliation?
After being kicked out, he threw his sleeves away angrily.
Xia Qiyue didn't take it seriously, called the three little ones, set up the carriage, and went out. Although there was nothing important in the small courtyard, she still carefully locked the courtyard door.
There is food, meat and vegetables in the kitchen, and the bedding in the room has not been moved out yet. These are all money.
Although her assets have increased to five thousand taels, she can't spend them arbitrarily.
Decorating the new house, buying furniture, various facilities, tasting supplies, and candy-making tools and supplies all cost her another 1,500 taels of silver. So although she earned another 4,500 taels this month, the total
There are only five thousand taels of assets left.
Although this five thousand taels is already a huge amount of money compared to blind dates, compared with those rich people, this little money may not even be enough to buy jewelry.
"Mom, where are we going?" After getting on the carriage, Ke'er couldn't sit still. He opened the curtains and looked out, loudly asking his mother who was driving the carriage.
Xia Qiyue asked Kerr to put down the curtain and told her to sit down, but did not tell her where she was going.
She also didn't know where she was going, so she had to find her way there.
The carriage passed the lively market and walked slowly along the way. Xia Qiyue's eyes did not stop searching. The three children in the car were told to behave themselves and did not poke their heads in again.
Suddenly, Xia Qiyue's eyes lit up as he passed an alley, and the carriage drove directly past.
