Chapter 8 Returning to the door and eating melons

"Business talk?" Shen Yunxi immediately thought that Mr. Xia must have taken a fancy to the golden candied haws recipe.

If the price offered by the other party is acceptable, it doesn't matter if the prescription is sold. She and Mu Chenglin go out to set up a stall every day and can't make much money in a day, so they can sell the prescription and keep it for other capital.

"That's right!"

"I wonder what kind of business Mr. Xia wants to discuss with us?" Shen Yunxi was talking about us. She pulled Mu Chenglin in, mainly because she wanted to tell Mr. Xia that there are men in my family. Please invite me when we discuss business. Show sincerity.

"I wonder if you two can move?" Mr. Xia asked, Shen Yunxi looked at Mu Chenglin, and Mu Chenglin nodded to her.

Shen Yunxi and Mu Chenglin followed Xia Yifan to the second floor of the famous Qingfeng Building in the town.

Shen Yunxi didn't know what Qingfeng Restaurant did, but Mu Chenglin knew that it was the best restaurant in town, and the ingredients were shipped from the county every day. He wanted to come here several times to deliver prey, but was rejected!

On the second floor of Qingfeng Building, Xia Yifan directly explained his intention. He was indeed interested in the golden candied haws recipe.

He didn't intend to make money with the golden candied haws, but he just thought the golden candied haws had a good meaning. He monopolized this recipe, and in the future, every child who came to the restaurant would give a golden candied haws as a gift.

It has a good meaning and can give customers a surprise, which is perfect.

"I wonder how much money the young master is willing to pay?" Shen Yunxi asked straight to the point.

"Fifty taels of silver!" Xia Yifan held out five fingers. He calculated that a pound of sugar cost sixty cents, and a bunch of golden candied haws cost three cents. Although he didn't know what the recipe was, it didn't look like he was making much money.

Shen Yunxi thought the price was fair. Just when she was about to nod in agreement, Mu Chenglin said in a low voice, "Twenty taels of silver!"

Shen Yunxi immediately shut his mouth and stood beside Mu Chenglin to express his support.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yifan agreed directly!

Next, Shen Yunxi dictated, and Mu Chenglin added details and handed the recipe for golden candied haws to Xia Yifan. At the same time, the two parties signed an agreement. Xia Yifan paid a one-time payment of twenty taels of silver. Mu Chenglin and his wife had to keep it secret, otherwise Xia Yifan will be compensated double.

Because it wasted their time, Xia Yifan spent another 180 yuan to buy the remaining 60 bunches of golden candied haws.

After getting twenty taels, Shen Yunxi was grinning when she walked out of the hotel door.

"Brother Mu, I almost agreed just now!" Shen Yunxi said, patting her chest. I almost lost fifteen taels of silver!

"The surname is Xia. If my guess is correct, he has many storefronts throughout the Great Xia Dynasty. Each store has a bunch of them and sells more than us!"

That's it! I didn't expect this person named Xia to have such a good background.

"Let's buy something and go to Shen's house later." Mu Chenglin gave the 180 coins and the 160 coins he just received to Shen Yunxi, leaving 20 taels of silver for himself.

"Why are you going to Shen's house?" Shen Yunxi was confused.

"Come back today!" Although Mu Chenglin didn't want to go to the Shen family, since they kept Shen Yunxi here and Shen Yunxi was the daughter of the Shen family, the due etiquette was still indispensable.

Mu Chenglin first went to the meat stall and cut four pounds of fat meat, and then bought forty eggs.

"Brother Mu, isn't this too much?" Shen Yunxi said.

"Although the Shen family is unkind, my Mu family cannot be unjust!"

Shen Yunxi shook his head inwardly, he must be trying to save face and suffer the consequences!

It’s not good to give so much food to the Shen family, so it’s better to take it back and let my mother and brother replenish themselves.

When he was at Qingfeng Tower just now, Mu Chenglin handed the straw stick to Xia Yifan, then he put the meat and eggs into his backpack and took Shen Yunxi back to Qingmu Village.

Shen Pingping felt restless when she woke up early this morning. She and her mother went to Cui's house yesterday, and Cui's mother happily agreed to come to propose marriage today.

Seeing that Shen Pingping was uneasy, Mrs. Liu hurriedly stepped forward and warned, "Don't show your flaws. If the old lady finds out about it, it will be over!"

At this time, someone knocked on the door, and several boys playing in the yard quickly opened the door with a smile.

Shen Pingping even pulled her brand new clothes nervously.

"Shen Yunxi, why is it you?" The speaker was Shen Zhenxing, the son of Liu and Shen Erfu, who is six years old this year.

Because his mother and sister didn't like the original owner, he often bullied the original owner.

Shen Yunxi raised her eyebrows, "I'm your sister!" This naughty kid is so unlikeable!

Shen Zhenxing stuck out his tongue at Shen Yunxi, "My mother said, you are a motherless wild child, not my sister?"

Shen Yunxi's bad temper suddenly rose, and he was about to roll up his sleeves to beat the naughty kid, when a bunch of people came out of the Shen family's house.

Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Yunxi and ignored her.

She has not forgotten that Shen Yunxi turned his elbow outward at Mu's house the night before!

In the past few days, she has been asking if there is any rich family who wants to find a beautiful concubine at a high price!

The other Shen family members also greeted them coldly, but no one asked Shen Yunxi and Mu Chenglin to come in and sit down.

Mu Chenglin wasn't angry either. He put down his backpack and took out four pounds of fat meat and forty eggs.

At this time, everyone's expressions softened a lot, and Shen Erfu even stepped forward and carried the fat meat to the kitchen, allowing Mrs. Liu to stew it and eat it at noon.

As for the eggs, Shen Dafu reluctantly went to get them.

The Shen family has a lot of chickens and eggs for every meal.

Shen Yunxi only thought that Mu Chenglin was a very smart person, so why did he act stupid today? After all, she had never been seen by Danmoer in the Mu family in the past few days.

"Since you're here, let's stay for a light meal!" Mrs. Shen was polite when she saw Mu Chenglin was so generous.

After saying that, no one greeted the two of them, they all went off to do their own thing!

Shen Yunxi looked at Mu Chenglin with some embarrassment. Mu Chenglin looked unconcerned, and the two of them just stood in the yard.

Anyway, I don’t feel so embarrassed if I have someone to accompany me!

When Mrs. Liu saw Shen Yunxi coming back, she planned to let her go cut pig grass so that Shen Pingping could rest for a day.

At this time, someone came to the door again.

A middle-aged and elderly woman with a big red flower on her head, a big black mole on the corner of her mouth, and bright red lipstick walked into the courtyard waving a handkerchief.

She walked directly past Shen Yunxi and Shen Yunxi and shouted to the people inside at the top of her voice, "What a happy event, what a great happy event!"

This voice directly attracted people from the room. Old Mrs. Shen rushed out first, followed by Shen Pingping who looked nervous, and then Shen Yunxi's sister-in-law, the fat Shen Xiujuan.

"Hey, this is Aunt Mei! What brought you to the door!" Mrs. Shen was so happy when she saw the visitor, she changed her cold attitude towards Shen Yunxi just now.

Mrs. Shen directly invited people into the house, and Shen Yunxi also pulled Mu Chenglin in to follow.

"What a happy event, such a happy event! Cui Xiucai from the town has taken a liking to your Shen family girl and asked me to come and propose marriage!"

Mrs. Shen immediately invited people to sit down and ordered Mrs. Liu to serve tea.

Shen Pingping stood aside, her fingers constantly pinching the corners of her clothes, with a faint blush on her face.

Shen Yunxi knew that there was something to eat today, so she stood aside and watched the show.

Mrs. Liu made Mei Gu the best tea from the Shen family, and sat down next to Shen Erfu very happily. Her daughter was going to become a scholar, and in the future she might become a scholar's wife or an official's wife.

Mrs. Liu seemed to see good days greeting her, and she even laughed out loud.

Shen Xiujuan sat aside and ate peanuts quietly. She looked with disdain at the nervous Shen Pingping and Liu who had sweet dreams. All of this was under the control of her mother. These people still wanted to make waves in her hands. , I was just laughing my ass off.

"We have several girls in the Shen family who are of marriageable age. I wonder who Cui Xiucai has chosen?" Mrs. Shen asked politely.

As soon as these words came out, Mu Chenglin glanced at Shen Yunxi, but Shen Yunxi looked like he was watching a good show.

Mrs. Shen's words obviously did not take Shen Yunxi's previous engagement to heart.

Mei Gu also laughed apologetically. In the entire Qingmu Village, no one knew that it was Shen Yunxi who was engaged to Cui Xiucai back then. Now that the Shen family has made a fuss about the marriage exchange, they have even kept silent about the previous marriage between Shen Yunxi and Cui Xiucai.

"Of course..." Mei Gu looked around. Shen Pingping was about to tear the corner of her clothes, Mrs. Liu blushed even more, and Shen Xiujuan was still eating peanuts calmly.

Some of the other Shen family members felt that the matter had nothing to do with them, while others looked envious.

"The most important thing for Cui Xiucai's family is the woman's character, being filial to her parents-in-law, taking care of the housework, and more importantly, being able to have a son. Miss Xiujuan of the Shen family is sure to have a son at a glance!"

As soon as Aunt Mei finished speaking, the peace in the whole room was broken.

First of all, Shen Yunxi couldn't help but laugh out loud. Just because Shen Xiujuan has a fat butt, so she said she could have a son?

Then came Shen Pingping and Mr. Liu, who looked in disbelief. You have to know how much calculations the mother and daughter had made for this marriage?

Now, aren't they stealing the chicken but losing the rice?

Mrs. Shen and Shen Xiujuan looked at each other. It was obvious that they had known this result for a long time.

Shen Pingping couldn't help but ran out, and Mrs. Liu quickly followed.

Mrs. Shen seemed not to notice and continued talking to Aunt Mei.

"Auntie, I advise you to go out and have a look! Cui Xiucai and Xiu Cainiang are probably arriving soon!" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shen hurried out the door.

What if Shen Pingping and Cui Xiucai met?

As soon as the old lady went out, everyone followed her and gathered in the yard.

Unfortunately, Cui Xiucai and his mother had already arrived in the yard, and Shen Pingping was crying to Cui Xiucai!

Shen Yunxi looked very excited. She always felt that something was missing. She turned back to the house, opened the "Is it delicious" takeaway app, and found a bag of hand-pulled melon seeds.

The merchant is running an event, offering free shipping and discounts. A pound of hand-made melon seeds costs 19.9 yuan, and you need to pay an extra yuan for immediate delivery.

She is rich now!

Shen Yunxi waved her hand and said that she was not short of money. She bought this bag of hand-made melon seeds for twenty-one copper coins. After getting the melon seeds, she immediately put the melon seeds into her pocket and threw the bag into the "Green Alliance".

Shen Pingping held Cui Xiucai's hand and cried with snot and tears. She was already ugly, but now her face was covered with tears and snot, which was even more miserable.

Cui Xiucai was very thin and could not lift his shoulders with his typical hands. Shen Pingping was very strong, and Cui Xiucai was almost unable to stand due to her pulling.

Shen Yunxi grabbed a handful of melon seeds from his pocket, gave another handful to Mu Chenglin, and then started cracking them.

"Are these melon seeds?"

"yes!"

When Mu Chenglin saw Shen Yunxi put one in his mouth and then skillfully spit out the shell, he knew that Shen Yunxi had been eating it for a long time.

He had seen melon seeds in the place where he once lived, but they were very valuable and rare. He had not seen anyone selling them in Lingyang Town.

Where did Shen Yunxi learn it? Where did these melon seeds come from?

He tasted one. It was fragrant and crispy, much better than what he had eaten before.

Cui Xiucai's face turned red as he was pulled by Shen Pingping, "Miss Shen, men and women cannot be intimate, please let go!"

"No! I won't let go! We agreed that as long as Shen Yunxi gets married, you will marry me! You can't keep your word!"

"Yesterday, my mother and I brought a bunch of things to see you. You all promised to do well back then. How can you go back on your word now?"

Shen Pingping pulled Cui Zixuan and what she said made everyone present's expressions change.

There was such a big commotion in the Shen family, and many neighbors had already come over to watch the excitement.

Many people looked at Shen Yunxi with sympathy on their faces. Some looked at Shen Pingping with disgust, thinking she was too shameless!

He stole his step-sister's marriage openly and plausibly.

But no one criticized Cui Zixuan, just because he was a scholar and ranked first.

"I just asked Yunxi girl how could she be so stupid? She doesn't want to marry a great scholar, but insists on marrying an Orion!"

"Yes, yes, Shen Pingping also said that Yun Xi was jealous of Mu Chenglin's large betrothal gift, but wasn't all the betrothal gift taken away by the old lady? I heard that the dowry was only a few old clothes!"

"Why are you so vicious? Even if you robbed your step-sister of her marriage, you still want to beat her up!"

"You didn't see it that day. There was such a big hole in Yunxi's head, and blood was still coming out of it! I heard that it was Shen Pingping who beat her."

The person who said this was that when she was doing laundry that day, she met one of Shen Yunxi's aunts by the river. She made a circle with her hand, and the circle was bigger than Shen Yunxi's head.

Don't bring the wind to her, okay? She still wants to eat in peace!

She pulled Mu Chenglin into the crowd, "Auntie, are you here to see the fun? Come on, come on, eat some melon seeds."

Everyone who came to see the excitement was stuffed with melon seeds by Shen Yunxi, and then imitated Shen Yunxi and cracked melon seeds.

Cui Zixuan's face turned red, "Miss Shen, don't talk nonsense. As a scholar, how could I, Cui Zixuan, make such an agreement with you!"

Cui Zixuan failed to pull Shen Pingping away. Cui's mother went up and pulled Shen Pingping away from Cui Zixuan. Shen Pingping fell to the ground and Cui Zixuan was almost unable to stand.

Shen Yunxi: Tsk, tsk, tsk, Cui Zixuan is so skinny, she wouldn’t even give it to her. I don’t know what these people are looking at. Can’t you tell that Mu Chenglin is much more handsome than Cui Zixuan?

What is the use of a scholar? Can it be used as food? Can it support her to earn money by being in public?

cannot!

She doesn't want to be a yellow-faced woman who takes care of her husband and raises her children at home, does laundry and cooks!

However, what Shen Pingping said was definitely not groundless. Yesterday, she saw with her own eyes the proud look on Shen Pingping's face when she came out of Cui's house.

Cui Zixuan actually denied it now!

If Cui Zixuan doesn't let go, Shen Pingping's reputation will be ruined!
