Xianyu's leisurely life through books

Chapter 41 Dog bites dog

"Me too, we country folks can't afford this high-class shop!"

Boss Liu Ji and his wife panicked.

"We didn't mean that, don't listen to this woman's nonsense!"

"Guests, you have to be a little judgmental, you can't just listen to the wind and the rain."

A considerable number of people in the academy are from outside the county.

The spread of Liu Ji's reputation of looking down on country people will shake the foundation of their shop!
The proprietress glared at Pei Xiaoxiao angrily: "Mr. Pei, I never said anything that looked down on country people. Why did you frame me!"

Pei Xiaoxiao looked innocent and puzzled: "Didn't you tell me to go back to farming yesterday? It's not that you look down on the country people. What does that mean? I don't study much, can you make it clear?"

"Hmph, go back to farming, don't you just want to say that country people are only worthy of farming? Do you also want to say that we country people are not worthy of studying?" Some students snorted coldly.

"Let's go, never come again!"

Hulala and a few people left.

Boss Liu Ji broke out in a cold sweat.

He was heartbroken, and stepped forward to slap the proprietress on the face: "What nonsense are you talking about, mother-in-law? We are from the countryside. We have lived in the city for two years, and we have forgotten our roots? Go back and kneel in the ancestral hall!"

The proprietress looked disbelieving, and said angrily: "Well, you Liu Dashu, you have grown up, and you dare to hit me, I will fight with you!"

The couple wrestled together, knocking over several stools.

Everyone was stunned, and got up one after another to make room for them to perform.

There are more and more people around.

Pei Xiaoxiao sneered and withdrew from the crowd.

Just now she saw Liu Ji's boss desperately winking at the proprietress, obviously trying to play a trick with his wife in order to restore Liu Ji's reputation.

It's a pity that the proprietress didn't get it.

One wants to sacrifice women in exchange for fame.

A domineering person goes around suppressing others.

Neither are good birds.

The moon is as cool as water.

The backyard of Liu Ji's shop.

"Da da da!"

The abacus beads collided and made a crisp sound, and Liu Ji and his wife settled their accounts with their heads next to each other, with a ferocious look gradually appearing in their eyes.

"Snapped!"

The abacus was savagely thrown on the ground, Liu Dashu's face was distorted, and the three nail marks on his left cheek, scratched by his wife, bent like reptiles.

"Today's earnings are [-]% less than yesterday's!"

The proprietress touched a small piece of scalp that was bald, and said bitterly: "This bitch, so cruel, directly came up to cut off our money, hate it!"

"She is not kind, so don't blame us for being unrighteous!"

"Sir, what are you going to do?"

"Find a few gangsters to trouble her, I don't believe that she can go on."

"Good idea! When she is desperate, we will come forward to buy her formula, and she will be grateful to Dade!"

After discussing the plan, the couple looked at each other and smiled.

At the same time, Old Song's house, East Wing.

There is a charcoal stove in the room, and the heating dispels the coldness of the cold night.

Pei Xiaoxiao was lying on the rocking chair, humming a song with her legs crossed, bouncing back and forth, like an old man enjoying the shade under a tree at the head of a village.

But she has a beautiful face, and she has a strange and harmonious temperament when doing this movement.

Song Yu withdrew his gaze and turned over the sweet potatoes on the stove: "You are in a good mood today."

"Okay."

"What happy things happened?"

The rich aroma penetrates straight to the tip of the nose.

Pei Xiaoxiao got refreshed, sat up abruptly, brushed her long hair back, and grabbed a sweet potato with a handkerchief.

"and many more!"

Song Yu wanted to stop it, but...

"hiss……"

Pei Xiaoxiao's hand was as fast as when it came, and she withdrew it with a snap.

Taking a closer look, the tender white fingertips were scorched red.

Pei Xiaoxiao gasped and put her fingertips in her mouth with a "hiss", her eyes were flushed, and she kept complaining in her heart how the original owner, this village girl, kept her body so tender.

Her misty peach eyes are as beautiful as autumn water, and a slightly messy strand of chestnut hair is scattered on her fair cheeks. She is lazy and charming, which makes people feel pitiful.

The scent of acacia just after bathing even crosses the stove and penetrates into the nose, which is intoxicating.

Song Yu took a deep breath, looked away, and reprimanded softly: "What's the hurry...I'll peel it for you, go get a bowl."

At the end, his tone subconsciously softened.

Pei Xiaoxiao bit her fingertips lightly, looked hesitantly at Song Yu, then at Sweet Potato, her heart was hardened, she put on her coat and went straight to the kitchen.

Song Yu held weapons in his hands all year round, his fingers and palms were covered with thin calluses, all the potato skins had been peeled off, and there was no red mark on his hands.

He put the crispy potato meat in a bowl and said in a low voice, "It's still hot inside, eat it slowly."

Pei Xiaoxiao poked up a small piece of potato meat with chopsticks, blew lightly, and put it in her mouth.

The potato meat is sweet and soft, with a slightly burnt taste. After one bite, the whole world is quiet.

"It smells so good." Pei Xiaoxiao let out a contented sigh, her eyes narrowed slightly, like a cat that has successfully stolen, with a satisfied expression on her face.

Song Yu laughed lightly, then smiled slightly: "I heard from Uncle Da Niu that after you went to Liu Ji today, the boss and his wife started fighting."

Pei Xiaoxiao squinted at her: "What do you want to say?"

"You are too impulsive."

"If they want to cut off other people's money, they must have the consciousness of being cut off." Pei Xiaoxiao sneered, "Do you think I'm doing something wrong?"

Song Yu frowned slightly: "You will cause future troubles if you deal with it like this today."

"They have long disliked me. Even if I pretend to be a quail, they will try their best to get me."

After a pause, she continued: "The owner of the sauce cake next door said that there used to be a seller of braised duck jaws, but they forced him to leave the academy. Oh, now Liu Ji's signature is braised duck jaws."

"According to your description, Boss Liu Ji is not a good quarrel." Song Yu mused, "Today, if you make trouble with some of his guests, you may incur retaliation... Xiaoxiao, you will be in trouble."

Pei Xiaoxiao pursed her lips.

"Even if I don't bother him, they won't let it go until I pack up and leave. Why should I pick peaches for them after I managed to make a business?"

"So, you must do this business."

"of course!"

Her system task has not been completed yet, how could she not go?

And staying at home all day to face this guy, if any sparks are sparked, it will be a dead end.

Therefore, it is impossible not to do business, and it is impossible in this life.

"Then I'll go out with you."

"Are you serious?"

Song Yu squinted at her with a meaningful smile: "You can't stop me, you should know."

Pei Xiaoxiao: "..."

With a happy smile, he picked up another sweet potato: "Do you want another one?"

The north wind is blowing.

Little people who are intoxicated by eating meatball skewers flutter in the wind on the white canvas, hunting.

In this weather, people like to eat some hot food.

"Miss Pei, bring me a bunch."

"Okay! Would you like a big bone broth?"

"Huh? Why is there soup today?"

"It's too cold, drink some soup to warm your stomach."

"Miss Pei is interested, give me a tube."

Pei Xiaoxiao smiled, and took out a bamboo tube from the basket.

The bamboo tubes are ordered from the villagers, five pennies a penny, and the soup is scooped up for the guests to take away directly. It doesn't cost much, but it can take care of the guests' emotions very well.

"Miss Pei, I want two skewers and soup."

"Okay, the soup is still hot, drink it slowly."

Pei Xiaoxiao's gentle exhortation with a smile was like a spring breeze blowing on her face.

The young students took the food from her either shyly or showing off their faces.

It's a bit... dazzling!
Song Yu sat and watched, with mixed feelings in his heart.
