Chapter 186 Old Sword
Three days later.

At the same time that Tang's shop launched salt and spicy candied fruit, Yunqi's Yunqisheng opened a takeaway window at the door.

It specializes in selling food authorized by Detian Pavilion, and has added new tricks.

Among them was Dragon Beard Crisp, but Bai Fu changed the name to Yinsi Crisp after listening to old doctor Fan's opinion.

In order to prove that it is an authentic authorization, a cloth banner with the logo of Detian Pavilion is hung at the entrance of Yunqisheng, which is exactly the same as the cloth banner at the entrance of Detian Pavilion.

It's not that Bai Fu hadn't thought about recruiting new people to open Detian Pavilion, but the Huang's family ran out of alcohol at home, and then took a lot of orders from the Huang's family, and the alcohol workshop was too busy, so he decided to delay it for a while.

Cao Gua came out to set up a stall in the morning, and habitually glanced at the entrance of Detian Pavilion.

At this time, there was no one at the gate of Detian Pavilion, only a cloth banner, but she didn't care.

She only took a few more glances at Tang's shop, which was obviously more crowded than before, curled her lips, looked away and continued to clean up her stall.

After a while, out of the corner of her eye, she saw someone wandering around the gate of Detian Pavilion again. She waited for a while, and the man only yelled when he left.

"Detiange has the same approach but the same effect. Egg and bean cakes are of high quality and low price. Welcome to try."

In the past, when she yelled like this, those guests who came to Detian Pavilion attracted by the name but failed would come to see it.

Then I bought a few copies under her enthusiastic promotion, but today for some reason, the man just glanced at it, and accelerated his pace, walking towards an alley.

Such situations happened one after another, and Cao Gua finally realized something was wrong.

She put down what she was doing and went to the gate of Detian Pavilion to have a look. She saw that those people just left after looking at the cloth banner. Could there be some mystery?
When she got closer, she saw that there was another notice next to the cloth banner, with a big smiling face on the first line, so she came closer to have a look curiously.

After seeing and understanding, his face suddenly changed.

This is a pair of hanging paintings. There are only two words on the hanging paintings, one is the signboard of Detian Pavilion, and the other is the signboard of Yunqisheng.

The grid paintings on the hanging paintings all use pictures to express their meanings, and people like Cao Gua who can't read big characters can understand them--
Detiange's Auspicious Four Treasures are precious ingredients and require painstaking efforts to cultivate them. The shop is temporarily closed due to lack of manpower. Some snacks will be sold by Yunqisheng from now on.

Simple snacks include cakes and rock candy Seeing egg waffles also appear on the list, Cao Guashi was struck by lightning.

Since she cut corners, her business has declined a lot. In addition, the frying pan has become more and more popular. People's enthusiasm for her fried bean shreds has passed, and her business has become worse and worse.

In order to open source, she thought of such a new idea.

In the beginning, she acted covertly and cautiously, not daring to speak out.

Later, Detian Pavilion never opened the door, and she gradually became more courageous, and got a lot of money first when she was close to the water.

Later, in order to highlight the high quality and low price of her eggs and bean cakes, she began to say that the price of Detian Pavilion is too high, which does not live up to the name.
Seeing Cao Guashi come back dejected like an eggplant beaten by Shuang, Granny Cao gave her a glare.

"It's not enough to shout at the door, why not set up a stall at the door?"

Cao Chen hurriedly blocked her mother-in-law and gave Cao Gua a wink to tell her not to talk back and go to work, "Mother, my sister-in-law is also saving money to pave the way for my second brother, so don't"

When she talked about this Granny Cao, she became even more angry.

"Pave the road, keep talking about it all day," said the voice a little louder unconsciously, "The frontier is such a dangerous place, if you don't hurry back to help the family after serving, do you still want to be a general?"

"mother."

When the mother-in-law gets angry, she makes a loud voice, which can be heard across the street, and Cao Chen doesn't dare to persuade her too much.

Granny Cao waved her hands impatiently, "Stop talking, go to work!"

"Yes"

Cao Gua didn't want to pay attention to what the mother-in-law was shouting, she waited absentmindedly for a while, and seeing that there was no business, she made an excuse and walked out of the shop towards the Tang family's shop.

That day she saw Mr. Bai being called away by the shopkeeper Mi, and then Detiange came up with such a trick to cut off her fortune. She couldn't swallow it when she thought that the people of Detiange would not give her a good face in the future. this tone.

Tang's shop launched new products today, and specially set up a small stall at the entrance for passers-by to taste.

Cao Guashi walked over and took a few out of courtesy.

"Aunt Cao's is here too."

Although I had already given some to the neighbors' shops just now, the guy in charge of the stall still shouted enthusiastically when he saw her.

Isn't it here? Cao Guashi hummed indifferently, and put a preserved fruit into his mouth.

After chewing twice, he suddenly spat on the ground with a bah sound, with a disgusted look on his face.

"What kind of strange smell is this? Xiao Lin, your Tang's shop is getting worse and worse."

Xiaolin was confused by Cao Guashi's series of actions, and was at a loss for a moment. The guests next to him also looked over curiously when they heard the voice.

"Aunt Cao's, this taste is indeed a bit unique. You may find it strange at first, but you have to taste it more to taste the beauty." Xiao Lin explained with a smile.

Cao Guashi snorted.

"It's all for food. You can tell if it's good or not by tasting it with your tongue. If it's not good, it's not good. Isn't it a waste of money to taste more?"

This is a mess.

Even though Xiaolin came to the shop not long ago and was not familiar with the business, he also sensed that something was wrong with Cao Guashi today. Everyone around him looked at him, so he didn't have much to say, so he sent Cao Guashi away with a few nice words.

As soon as Cao Guashi left here, shopkeeper Mi came out.

"Treasurer's"

Xiao Lin looked angrily and wanted to say something, but Shopkeeper Mi patted him on the shoulder to signal him not to be angry.

"Forget it, she dares to vent her anger like this."

Shopkeeper Mi knew that Cao Guashi was going to be in a bad mood when he saw the notice from Detian Pavilion in the morning, but he didn't expect her to take her anger out on them directly.

After opening a shop next door for so many years, it seems that people from Cao's shop have never come to his shop to buy things. At first, he thought that Cao's family didn't like sweets.

Later, during the holidays, the clerk sent a few copies to the past, and he happened to see Cao Guashi lovingly smelling and smelling the things, wrapping up the last bite without being willing to eat.

Hey, it's not easy for a few women to do business without a man around.

It is true that he stabbed Mr. Bai, so he can only bear the anger.

When the sun was high, Bai Fu yawned and walked to the door, and stretched a lot.

The family members go to the academy, and those who go to the workshop go to the workshop. Aunt Le has asked for leave for something, and there are only Lu Shi and Fuwa at home.

Seeing Bai Fu got up, Lu put Fuwa in a small cradle, and went to heat up the food and rice as ordered by the aunt.

"Da Ya said that the restaurant will open tomorrow, so she went over to watch." Shi Lu whispered after finishing setting the table.

Bai Fu nodded, teasing Fuwa while eating.

"Bai Gongzi"

Lu stood by the side fidgeting for a while, and finally said nervously, "Aunt Le's family has something wrong, so let me take over for a while, but I'm not very good at workmanship."

Bai Fu said that he could just do his best if he had nothing to do, and asked, "What happened to Aunt Le's house?"

"No, it's nothing serious." She said evasively.

Bai Fu looked at her for a while, Lu Shi is an honest person, such dodging is too obvious, it looks weird, "Did they tell you not to say it?"

Lu Shi didn't know whether to nod or shake his head.

A nod is not self-inflicted.

If Mr. Shaking his head asked her why she didn't tell her, how should she answer?
Finally, she gritted her teeth and said the matter.

"The elder sister of the eldest daughter-in-law's family gave birth to a daughter not long ago, and she was divorced by her husband's family. She was going to die when she returned home. Li Shan's father and mother had no idea, so the elder sister invited Aunt Le to help."

Isn't the old lady's house the same as Li Shan's?
Bai Fu vaguely remembered that Da Ya said that her brother-in-law was from a nearby village and was a scholar, but it was a pity that he failed the imperial examination this time.

After listening to Lu Shi's words, Bai Fu thought it was a family matter, so he didn't ask any more questions, finally Lu Shi could breathe a sigh of relief.

She didn't know what was going on, but every time she saw this kind young man, she panicked and felt weak when she spoke or did anything.

After dinner, I went to the coal workshop in vain.

Xiao Si'er is also in the workshop today, accompanied by Li Zao, who is a head taller than him, and the two are counting the inventory and finished products.

To be precise, it was Li Zao who was doing it, and Xiao Sier was criticizing.

For a while, I thought that Li Zao's numbers were written irregularly, and for a while, I said that Li Zao's numbers were wrong.

Li Zao listened dully, doing it again and again.

Bai Fu walked over after the two of them finished their work, "How is the handover going?"

Xiao Si'er reluctantly replied: "I can barely pass the test."

Li Zao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This stinky little four is not afraid of him now!There is no empathy in what you say or do.

Bai Fu patted the two of them on the shoulders, "Good job."

Later, when Ashi and Aku came to Xiaoxi Village to deliver goods, Bai Fu asked about the situation in Taohuawu.

It turned out that there was also a snow disaster in Taohuawu, and the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, but it was much better than here, and Ah Re was already preparing for spring plowing.

The others are also very good. Mr. Yu used the money Bai Fu sent back to buy a lot of things in Taohuawu, and the young people in the village don't have to be so hard when they go out.

"Why did Aku come to deliver the goods?" After the chat, Bai Fu looked at Aku and asked.

Aku grinned innocently.

"The last time Barger went back and talked about what it was like here, I always wanted to take a look and see if there is anything that needs my help."

It sounds like Aku doesn't plan to go back for the time being.

"It just so happens that the shop is short of people to work, you can help out here." Bai Fu immediately took Aku Ashi and his party to the restaurant.

It's like cleaning them up.

Seeing that Ba Ge was laughing so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, Bai Fu couldn't get in the conversation, so he went out of the box and wandered around.

Seeing her coming, Deng Yuanbai stood up happily, "Master, are you back?"

The matter of Bai Fu going to Huang's house for epidemic prevention was not disclosed to the outside world. Da Ya only said that she had something to do in other places. Deng Yuanbai thought she had just returned from other places.

"I'm back." Bai Fu smiled, looking around the shop, suddenly a little surprised, "Why are there so many books?"

Deng Yuanbai smiled.

"Young master sent back a lot of treasures some time ago. Many students in the college exchanged books for books. In addition, people from other colleges also came to copy books, so there are more and more books."

Bai Fu nodded with a smile, and waved his hands to signal that they were busy with her and left her alone.

Deng Yuanbai was used to it, so he didn't say much, picked up a pen and continued to copy books.

Bai Fu turned around for a while, then turned her head and saw someone staring at her from the corner, it was Tian Xuzhi whom she hadn't seen for a long time, she greeted with a smile, "Are you copying books again?"

Tian Xu pursed his lips and did not answer, with a complicated expression on his face.

Bai Fu gave him a strange look, but didn't think much of it, greeted Deng Yuanbai and the others, and left.

After Bai Fu left, Tian Xuzhi walked out from the corner and handed a book to Deng Yuanbai, "I'll borrow this today."

Deng Yuanbai took the book and started to register, when Tian Xu asked suddenly:

"The one just now...was Mr. Bai from Detian Pavilion?"

Deng Yuanbai nodded while writing, "Yes, he comes here occasionally."

"Did he buy all the newly arrived treasures?" Tian Xuzhi asked again.

Deng Yuanbai handed the registered book to Tian Xuzhi, "I don't know if I bought it, but I sent a big box back anyway."

Tian Xuzhi took the book and left.

Walking to the door, he saw Bai Fu being dragged by a middle-aged man to sit in the pavilion drinking tea and chatting.

The main thing was that the old man was talking, Mr. Bai answered every sentence, with a somewhat...well, just a little reluctant.

This Mr. Bai seemed a little different from what he had imagined.

Tian Xu was right, but Bai Fu was a little reluctant, because she was met by Master Guo again.

She even wondered if Master Guo came to the restaurant on purpose to catch her, otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that she met Master Guo passing by as soon as she came.

Master Guo's gossip with her today is about a major event that happened in Tiangong.

It is said that a boy with a hairy head beat the old sword who had been defending the competition all the year round and almost never failed in Tiangong.

Bai Fu murmured in his heart, so the master liar was called Laojian, he was indeed quite cheap, and he tricked them into competing on stage in that unfashionable way.

"That's not even the most fun."

Master Guo was talking to himself full of gossip, and moved closer to Bai Fu, "Lao Jian searched all over Bailu Town in order to seek revenge for that kid, and he will never find him unless he finds him." give up."

Bai Fu frowned.

"If you lose in the ring, you still want to seek revenge in private? Is Tiangong so unstyled?"

Master Guo chuckled.

"Tiangong can't control everything. If Lao Jian is defeated, he will no longer be a member of Tiangong. What are you afraid of?"

Bai Fu was puzzled: "If you are defeated, you will be driven away?"

"It's not about driving away. According to the rules, we need to change to another place to continue guarding the ring. But I heard that Lao Jian himself said he would quit. Guarding the ring is too lonely."

The lonely uncle squatting on the ground and drawing circles flashed in Bai Fu's mind.

"So instead of guarding the ring, he seeks revenge and has fun?"

Master Guo smiled, "Isn't that right? There are people in the casino who bet to win or lose."

Bai Fu couldn't understand.

She's already been defeated once, so it's obvious that the old man can't beat her, so what kind of bet is there?
"I guess it's a bet that the old man loses." Bai Fu asked tentatively.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Guo shook his head and said:
"The casino is not stupid. How could they bet on this? Naturally, they bet on Laojian being defeated within a few strokes. I placed a bet yesterday, betting on Laojian being defeated within a hundred strokes."

Bai Fu was not happy anymore.

"Why a hundred moves?" That day in the ring, she clearly beat the old jerk down within fifty moves.

Master Guo said: "Last time it was two-on-one, this time it was one-on-one, plus Lao Jian only played level five in the arena that day, so he didn't try his best? In other words, no one knows Lao Jian's true strength. But it must be above level five."

Is that so?
To be honest, Bai Fu now thinks that level [-] is not very good, if he has the opportunity to experience levels above level [-], well, it seems to be good.

At that time, if you win, you will fight, if you can't win, you will cheat.

Well, she's not ashamed at all.

Who let the old cheap play cheap first.

"Then what is the guess with the highest odds?" Bai Fu turned his eyes and asked.

Master Guo stretched out two palms, "Within ten strokes."

"What are the odds?"

"I don't know until before the comparison, but it must not be less than fifty times." Master Guo laughed, and said to the thoughtful Bai Fu, "Brother, do you want to try it too? Master, I advise you not to go too far." Take a risk, a hundred tricks are just right."

Appropriate ghost.

Bai Fu rolled his eyes in his heart.

Isn't she tired after a hundred tricks?

At this moment, Da Ya came out to look for her, "My lord, the dishes are ready."

Bai Fu hurriedly got up, said to Mr. Guo and left first, then turned around and followed Da Ya towards the food shop.

Master Guo yelled twice to stop her.

"Didn't it mean that someone will open the door? Why can you eat here today?"

Bai Fu turned his head and said politely and yet kindly:
"Because I opened the shop."

Master Guo: "!!!!!!!"

Knowing that someone is coming to Taohuawu, Xiao Liang came after school with Xiao Si, saw Bai Fu at the door, and shouted happily that Xiao Bai ran over, and Bai Fu led the two to the box.

Master Guo was stunned for a long time.

His shop.

noob.

Mr. Bai.

what.

So, has he been gossiping with this enemy all these days?
Huang Qiuyang Yuan Zitai also brought people to dinner today, Bai Fu opened another box for them, and gave them the newly arrived peach blossom wine.

Yuan Zitai came to say goodbye today because he was going back to Yuandu.

The younger brother was leaving, and Bai Fu was not prepared, so he asked Da Ya to pack a bag of cooked food for him to eat on the way.

"Only this one?"

Yuan Zitai seemed dissatisfied with this gift and looked disgusted.

Bai Fu thought about it, and then gave him a few bottles of self-made health care products, "If someone has a headache on the way, you can drink it urgently."

That's more or less.

Yuan Zitai accepted it with a proud face.

"Why are you leaving all of a sudden?" Bai Fu thought of asking after all the presents had been delivered.

Yuan Zitai said: "My mother wrote to say that the outside world is not peaceful these days, and I'm afraid it will be inconvenient later."

"What do you mean by not being peaceful?" Hearing this, Bai Fu asked with a vigilant expression.

"The Great Master predicted that the plague is coming soon." Yuan Zitai didn't hide it, "If the epidemic breaks out, many places may be under martial law."

"Didn't you say you're going to prepare for vaccination?" Bai Fu asked.

"It's not that easy," Huang Qiuyang interjected, "When the people heard that poison was going to be put into their bodies, they were not happy. There have been many public grievances in Yuandu."

So the vaccination hit a snag.

And the obstacles are not small.

Bai Fu glanced at Yuan Zitai and said, "You should get vaccinated as soon as possible after you return to Yuandu. Cowpox is fine, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."

Yuan Zitai's eyes flashed.

"It's really all right?"

"Well, it's not a big problem." Bai Fu's expression was unusually serious, "And didn't you say that the Prince Regent's House has tried it himself?"

How can a vaccine be completely risk-free.

But since someone volunteered to set a precedent to prove that most people are fine, and there are many similar records in history books, Bai Fu judged that it was worth a try.

"Then who knows if they are?"

At the beginning of Yuan Zitai's conversation, Bai Fu knew that he wanted to talk about conspiracy again, so he hurriedly interrupted him, "Regardless of whether there is a conspiracy behind it or not, vaccination is a good thing. When the vaccine comes to Raozhou, my family and I will definitely give it a try as soon as possible. Go get vaccinated, believe it or not, just figure it out for yourself."

For this kind of suspicious person, it is not good to persuasion blindly, so Bai Fu chose to stop.

Yuan Zitai was choked up by Bai Fu, and he said in a low voice unwillingly:
"The Great Master is a liar, how can you trust his words."

Bai Fu patted his shoulder.

"Believe it or not, even if you don't have it this year, you will encounter it once or twice in your life. After vaccination, you don't have to be afraid of pox for at least a few years. Do you think it's better than worrying all day long?"

Yuan Zitai didn't know if he was persuaded, so he nodded thoughtfully and said nothing.

Since the incident of the plague in Huang's family, Huang Qiuyang's trust in Bai Fu has not increased by a single bit. He saw the opportunity to chime in and said:
"Little uncle, my nephew thinks what Mr. Bai said is reasonable. At worst, little uncle should do a thorough investigation before vaccinating the pox, and let other people in the house try it first, and then vaccinate after confirming it is safe."

Before the end of the practice banquet, Yuan Zitai's hidden guard sent a box of books, saying that the luggage was too heavy to take away, so it would be cheaper for her big brother.

Bai Fu readily accepted it, and immediately sent it to Deng Yuanbai and the others next door.

Yuan Zitai was dumbfounded.

"Do you know how precious these books are?"

These are treasures collected in the palace, last time he saw that Bai Fu liked books very much, he thought it was because she liked reading!
Bai Fu smiled.

"Books are only valuable to those who love them. It's too wasteful for me to read them alone."

Huang Qiuyang's mouth twitched.

Say it like you actually saw it.

Guo Qilang felt that his father might be bewitched.

When he came back, he called him to the study room and asked him a lot, and the ones who asked him were all the young master Bai from Xiaoxi Village——
What does it look like?What is your height?How old are you?How is your personality?

How did he know this!
"Father, I go to the academy every day, how do I know this? Didn't you find out when you went to Xiaoxi Village every now and then?" He asked dissatisfied.

Master Guo stared, and was about to say something when Aunt Yu rushed over.

"master"

Aunt Yu first looked at her son when she entered the room, and she knew at a glance that the two of them might be unhappy again, so she quickly changed the topic with a smile:

"The steward went to a few kilns again, and the talks went well. All the goods that our family bought last time are all settled."

Hearing this, Mr. Guo was overjoyed.

"really?"

Aunt Yu smiled cleverly and stepped forward to beat Master Guo's shoulders, "Bao Zhen!"

Master Guo immediately forgot to talk about his son, and talked to Aunt Yu about the shop.

Guo Qilang didn't have the patience to listen to this and ran away looking at the opportunity, but the next day he still asked someone to inquire, and spent some money to find a student who said he knew Mr. Bai and bought a portrait for his father.

Master Guo fell silent when he saw the portrait.

Sure enough it was him.

This stinky boy!

Was he just playing with him during this period of time?

Master Guo seriously recalled it, wanting to see if he had said anything that offended anyone. After thinking about it, he found that not only did he not offend Mr. Bai, but what he said was something that could win the relationship invisibly.

Think again.

That Mr. Bai didn't seem to be unreasonable and difficult to talk, and he seemed to like chatting with him very much. Every time he talked about gossip, his eyes lit up like candles at night!
Hey, it turned out to be a fellow!
Master Guo finally felt at ease.
