The story of the struggle of the poor girl who crossed

Chapter 39 Are You Afraid?
Mai Xiang: "Dumplings are a new kind of food. If Uncle is free, why don't you come to my house tomorrow, and I will demonstrate it to Uncle!"

Shopkeeper Liang responded with a smile: "Okay, I will definitely go tomorrow!"

Mai Xiang: "Well, I'll take my leave now. I have to buy ingredients for making dumplings. Tomorrow at noon, I'm waiting for uncle to come to my humble house!"

Shopkeeper Liang hurriedly said: "You are alone, how about I send a boy to drive the carriage and go with you?"

Mai Xiang was also polite: "Alright, thank you Uncle, so I don't have to bother my little uncle!"

It took Mai Xiang an hour to buy a wagon-load of ingredients, and when she returned home, she gave Chang's a big jump: "Mai Xiang, you child, your brother didn't pass the Tongsheng exam, so you don't have to make such a fuss Myself. Why do you buy so many ingredients?"

Mai Xiang has always been diligent and frugal, and she is not the kind of person who spends a lot of money. Isn't it weird to buy a big cart of ingredients today?

Liang High School happened to pass by, and after hearing what Chang said, he taunted in a strange voice: "Oh, what kind of stimulation did Mai Xiang get? Oh, I see, it must be that your brother has never passed the childbirth test, so Are you mad? Hahaha! Mai Xiang, Mai Xiang, you have today too! So what if you please Master Tong? Now, don’t people treat your family the same way?”

When Mai Xiang heard this, she stared blankly, and asked coldly, "How do you know Master Tong is good at pinellia?!"

Liang Gaokao sneered: "Hmph! I am a Juren after all, and I am also the master of Yunshan Academy. Besides, my family Xie Yuan is also a Juren, and now I study in the academy in Fucheng. By the way, Mr. Tong's Brother, I happen to be in the same academy as Xie Yuan. Xie Yuan bought Tong Yuan’s bookboy with money, and that bookboy leaked it! Hahaha! Now, do you regret it?
Back then, if you hadn't shown off in front of the county magistrate, I wouldn't have been dismissed, and Ban Xia wouldn't be counted against today!The root of everything is you, you little bitch. If it wasn't for you, how could the men of my Liang family be harmed by Mr. Tong? !You are a nemesis, a scourge! "

Mai Xiang looked around, picked up a broom, and hit it hard: "Since I am the nemesis and the scourge, then I won't let you suffer a little bit, and I will be wronged!"

As much strength as there is, use as much strength.

Liang Gaokao was caught off guard, and was beaten so loudly that he yelled, "Hey, my God, it's terrible, this niece beat my uncle! Unfilial things, this is going to be struck by lightning!"

Mai Xiang snorted coldly: "Uncle? What kind of uncle are you? Our family has severed ties with yours a long time ago. In my eyes, you are worse than that neighbor. You are a stranger! Moreover, you are still special. The nasty one!"

Liang Gaozhong was humiliated, and he couldn't help becoming angry from embarrassment: "Now, my Xie Yuan is already a candidate, and I will take part in the examination next year. If my Xie Yuan wins the first prize and becomes a high-ranking official, are you not afraid of my revenge? If you are sensible, Just please me obediently and give me a few hundred taels of silver for Xie Yuan to study for the exam. In this way, when Xie Yuan becomes a high-ranking official in the future, I can still see that everyone is connected by blood, and I will not embarrass your family! Maybe , I am happy and allow your family to be honored by my family Xie Yuan!"

Just as Mai Xiang was about to speak, Chang had already spat at Liang Gaogao: "Bah! Liang Gaogao, you black-hearted and unfilial son, Mai Xiang is your real niece! You are not alone by threatening and blackmailing her like this! Or, are you a dead person when you think of my old lady?! I can tell you, as long as my old lady is alive, you will never be allowed to touch a finger of my family!

Otherwise, no matter where you move, I will hang myself at the gate of your house!At that time, I will discredit you and your son, not only will you not be a high-ranking official, but you will even be unable to be a master!snort!I don't understand, how can a corrupt person like you be a teacher?By the way, tomorrow I will go to the academy to find the head of the mountain, and tell the head of the mountain what kind of person you are!By the way, I can also go to Xie Yuan's academy and let the head of that academy get to know you and Xie Yuan as people! "

As soon as these words came out, Liang Gaokao couldn't help but turn pale with fright, bent his knees, and couldn't help kneeling down: "Mother, I was wrong, can't I be wrong?"

Mai Xiang snorted coldly, and reprimanded coldly: "I know I'm wrong, it's not too late, it's not too late! Get out of here quickly, I don't want to see you again, even if your family Xie Yuan did it!" Senior official, people in my family will not go to curry favor with your family, and will not take advantage of your family!"

snort!As long as people from your family don’t come to bully my family, then Amitabha!Dip?There is absolutely no need for this!

Hearing the words, Liang Gaogao glared at Mai Xiang, and just about to say something, he was scolded by Chang: "Get out of here, when there was a severe drought, our family was about to die of hunger and thirst, you I didn’t even reach out! Now, our family’s life is easier, even if you become the prime minister, my family will not beg you! Even if they are begging for food, they will definitely bypass the door of your house!”

When the old mother said so, the villagers whispered and looked at him with contempt and disdain.

Liang Gaokao left in despair.

Mai Xiang took out a pack of candies and distributed them to the dozen or so children who were onlookers: "I took the candies and went home to share with my brothers and sisters at home. It's getting late, let's all go home, don't worry your parents! "

"Thank you, Sister Maixiang!" The child couldn't help being overjoyed when he got the candy.

The crowd dispersed.

Mai Xiang greeted Pinellia Glycyrrhiza Fuling: "This carriage belongs to Shopkeeper Liang, come and unload it quickly so that Brother Xingwang can go back early." Then he said to his mother: "Mother, it's almost time for dinner, Brother Xingwang must be hungry, You go prepare two egg pancakes, so that Brother Xingwang can take them on the road and eat them to fill your stomach!"

Fahrenheit hurriedly said: "Okay, I'll go right away!" She was about to bake egg pancakes for her family, and this happened just right, the noodles had already been reconciled, and the pot was heated up, and she was just waiting for her pancakes.

The little guy Zhao Xingwang quickly said politely: "No, I'm not hungry, so don't bother me! Thank you!"

Fahrenheit smiled as he walked, "No trouble, it will be soon!" He sent Mai Xiang back from a long distance, and he was supposed to stay for a meal, but it was getting dark, and it was not safe to leave after dinner.

After dinner, the family sat around under the fragrant pear tree in the courtyard.

Chang asked worriedly: "Mai Xiang, why did you buy a big cart of ingredients?" This kid, shouldn't he be really irritated?

Mai Xiang: "Grandma, Master Tong interfered with Ban Xia's exam. I thought about it for a while, and wanted to make Master Tong feel scruples and dare not interfere again. Our family must rise up! Grandma, I will be much better." Novelty food will also have many extraordinary abilities. I didn’t tell you before, nor did I show it, because I was worried that I would be caught by others and cause trouble for our family.

However, now he can't care so much!I plan to cooperate with shopkeeper Liang to open a dumpling restaurant, and I also plan to present a big gift to the person behind my little uncle and ask for his protection!If this is the case, my family will be considered rich and powerful. In the future, when my younger brother takes the imperial examination, Mr. Tong or someone like him will never dare to hinder Ban Xia's future!Otherwise, our family will only have to be beaten, and we will only have to stay in Liangjiaao and plan food in the soil!I am not willing to live like this useless! "

After hearing this, Mrs. Chang couldn't help sighing deeply. After being silent for a while, she said, "Well, instead of living a worthless life, it's better to work hard!" Now, even his eldest son is threatening Mai Xiang, let alone a bastard like Master Tong.

At noon the next day, Shopkeeper Liang arrived as scheduled.

With the help of Huashi and licorice, Mai Xiang made dumplings with several fillings, including pork and cabbage dumplings, shepherd's purse dumplings, fish dumplings, and chicken dumplings.

Among them, there are boiled dumplings and fried dumplings.

This is the first time for Mai Xiang to make dumplings, and it is also the first time for the family to taste delicious and unique dumplings. Everyone is satisfied and full of joy.

Shopkeeper Liang put down his chopsticks, and couldn't stop admiring: "Mai Xiang, why are you so smart and capable? If you were a boy, you might be able to win the first prize!" At the very least, you can become a first-class university student. Chef, it's not impossible to become the royal chef of the palace!
Mai Xiang: "Uncle thinks, if such dumplings are not expensive, can they attract ordinary people?"

Shopkeeper Liang couldn't help being a little surprised: "What? Could it be that you set the position of the dumpling restaurant as low-end?"

Mai Xiang: "That's exactly the case. If the positioning is too high, wouldn't it be competing with good luck for the source of customers? That's not good. One of the principles of our business is not to compete with good luck for profit! Moreover, ordinary people are better than rich people. There are so many people, even if we only do business with ordinary people, as long as our dumplings are delicious enough, I believe we will be able to make a lot of money!"

Shopkeeper Liang: "Tell me in detail, what is a chain store?"

Mai Xiang pondered for a while, and then said: "The chain store is just..." When explaining the chain store, she also integrated many modern business concepts into it very well, which made shopkeeper Liang and his family stunned. Sincere admiration.

Shopkeeper Liang smiled from ear to ear: "It's so good, I have more confidence in our cooperation!"

Mai Xiang: "Uncle, I thought about it last night, and I think we can also open a novelty food store at the same time, right next to the dumpling restaurant. In this way, we can also save a little manpower, the manpower of the dumpling restaurant and the novelty food store It can be shared."

In this ancient country, there is no candied haws, no tofu, no jelly, no fried chestnuts and so on.She happens to know how to do these things, that is, tofu needs more thinking.I didn't show these skills before, just because I wanted to keep a low profile, and I was afraid of "crime".However, now that she and her family are honestly raising cattle, sheep and chickens, isn't it the same that she is suppressed and bullied by Mr. Tong?

Master Tong is actually not bad in nature, he can be regarded as a good official with a sense of justice.However, such a decent official would go against her and her family just because his younger brother took a fancy to her.It is conceivable that if she meets a really vicious rich person or official in the future, will she and her family still have a way out?

Master Tong suppresses Banxia and prevents him from passing the scientific examination, just to prevent Tong Yuan from marrying her.In Lord Tong's mind, Tong Yuan, a younger brother who is so promising, should marry a wealthy family in the capital.Master Tong doesn't want Ban Xia to be admitted to fame, for fear that Ban Xia will win the first prize in the future, which will make Tong Yuan insist on marrying Mai Xiang under the pretense that Liang's family is not a farmer.
