The story of the struggle of the poor girl who crossed

Chapter 51 1
"What's the matter with you? You look out of your wits, and you don't even notice a frightened horse coming towards you. How dangerous it is! Next time, if I'm not there, what should you do?" Situ Changfeng couldn't bear it. Stop yelling in a low voice.

Mai Xiang found her own voice with great difficulty: "Thank you! Today, you saved me again. In this life, I will never repay you!"

"You don't need anything in return, you just need to love yourself well!" Situ Changfeng said distressedly.But I added a sentence in my heart: If there is nothing to repay, then let's make a promise with your body!

Mai Xiang was silent, but a warm current surged in her heart.

Situ Changfeng said again: "Let's go, I'll take you back!"

Mai Xiang nodded slightly: "Thank you!" Turning around and heading towards the dumpling restaurant, Situ Changfeng followed closely.

Shopkeeper Tian was a few steps behind and followed behind the two of them.

Situ Changfeng sent Mai Xiang into the courtyard where she lived.

Mai Xiang hesitated for a moment: "Brother Situ, it's time for dinner, let me treat you to dinner! Well, I will cook myself and cook two delicious dishes that you like!"

Situ Changfeng: "Are you tired today? If you are tired, try another day!"

Mai Xiang shook her head: "I'm not tired, you go to the small garden and wait for a while, I'll come out after changing clothes!"

In front of the courtyard where Mai Xiang lives, there is a small garden with several fruit trees, a dozen clusters of flowers, and a swing.Although the garden is not big, it is exquisite and quiet. Every morning and evening, Mai Xiang will exercise or rest in the small garden.

Situ Changfeng nodded subconsciously: "Okay, I'll wait for you!"

When she saw Mai Xiang again, the trace of confusion in her eyes had disappeared, replaced by a bright and vigorous vigor.It seemed that nothing unpleasant had happened in her life.

Situ Changfeng followed her, looking at her straight back, the corners of his lips raised slightly.This girl from the country looks very thin and weak, but in fact she is as resilient as cattail grass.It seemed that any blow of life could not break her down, could not cause fatal harm to her.

In fact, Mai Xiang has come out of grief.

Being optimistic by nature, she no longer took the differences and estrangement with her little uncle to heart, and she was determined to get along well with her little uncle as before.Because of this difference and estrangement, I will not be alienated from my little uncle.

After all, the little uncle is still very sincere to her and caring for her.In this way, it is enough!Compared to the older uncle and the second uncle, compared to the uncle, the younger uncle treats her well enough!This is a man who cannot be dissatisfied.Between people, we need to tolerate and understand each other.Otherwise, no matter how deep the feelings are, they will be wiped out.

She was reluctant to be alienated from her little uncle, and even complained to each other.

This rare family affection is very heavy in her heart, very heavy.

"Brother Situ, you can read a book here for a while, and I will go to cook. It won't take long, half an hour is enough!" Mai Xiang settled Situ Changfeng in the private room of the dumpling restaurant, and gave him another Local chronicles and a military book.

Situ Changfeng smiled and nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work!"

"It's not hard work, it's not hard work to do a few things for the savior!" Mai Xiang waved her hands and walked away quickly.Even if it is hard work, she will do her best to cook a delicious meal for the other party.

What is the use of the county magistrate?Whenever she was in deep danger, didn't Situ Changfeng lend a helping hand in time?In other words, when she was in danger, even if the county magistrate was present, he would not be able to save her from danger.

What is the man coming for?Isn't it just to have someone to rely on?For a man like the county magistrate who has no power to restrain himself, if he is still halfway to his post in a remote place, he may be harmed by bandits and road tyrants, and he has no ability to resist at all.

Those wealthy people can also give the bandit Road Ba a lot of money, and let the other party spare his life for the sake of money.A poor person doesn't have much money on him, and the bandit Luba might snap him off in a fit of anger.

In a word: Scholars who have no strength to restrain their chickens, especially poor ones, are not candidates for Mai Xiang's ideal partner.It's not that she looks down on poor scholars, but as a husband, she feels very inappropriate.

With the assistance of Liang Guihua's mother and daughter, Mai Xianghua prepared eight dishes and one soup after more than an hour: steamed sea bass, dry-stir-fried green beans, braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, spicy chicken diced, stir-fried wild vegetables , Pat cucumber, braised tofu, pheasant mushroom soup.

The dumpling restaurant has a small kitchen. Although it is a small kitchen, it also has three stoves.The three of them worked together, and for more than an hour, they also cooked every dish with excellent color, fragrance and taste.

Smelling the aroma of the food, Situ Changfeng's appetite suddenly came.

It is undeniable that the meals made by Mai Xiang are indeed delicious.It can be said that it seems to be more delicious than the delicacies he has eaten in the past.It's very strange, it's just ordinary ingredients, why can it make such delicious food?

This pure and tough little girl left a deep imprint on his heart.His curiosity and liking for her gradually turned into love unconsciously.It's just that at this moment, he hasn't realized his true intentions yet.

Mai Xiang didn't accompany the guests, but invited shopkeeper Tian to accompany her.

Shopkeeper Tian saw a clue, and asked tentatively: "Brother Changfeng, what do you think of our young master?"

Among the three masters, because of Mai Xiang's young age, the people who welcome the guests all call her "Young Master".Shopkeeper Liang and Hua Yangfan didn't object, so Mai Xiang acquiesced.That's right, in Shopkeeper Liang's heart, he has long regarded Mai Xiang as his niece, and Hua Yangfan is also Mai Xiang's younger uncle.

Situ Changfeng smiled slightly: "Well, she is a very nice girl!"

Shopkeeper Tian: "So, do you like her?"

Situ Changfeng said without hesitation: "I like it, a girl as beautiful, cute, intelligent and kind as she is, who wouldn't like it!"

Shopkeeper Tian couldn't help laughing.Just like it, just like it!

He somewhat overheard Hua Yangfan's conversation with Mai Xiang.To be honest, between the county magistrate and Situ Changfeng, he was also inclined towards Situ Changfeng.Although Situ Changfeng is just a fast catcher, he feels very comfortable with this person, unlike the county magistrate who always carries it around and looks like an aloof and arrogant scholar, making it difficult for people to get close to him.

Moreover, his sixth sense told him that the reason why the county magistrate fell in love with Mai Xiang was because the business of welcoming guests was booming.The county magistrate really wanted to use Mai Xiang's family's money to pave the way for his future.Such a man is not the young master's beloved, at least he thinks so.

The young master's family is not interested in the county magistrate, and he is very happy in his heart.

Saying goodbye to Situ Changfeng, shopkeeper Tian went to the place where shopkeeper Liang lived and told shopkeeper Liang about it.

Shopkeeper Liang pondered for a long time, and couldn't help sighing deeply: "I'm afraid this matter will not be so easy to pass. Also, as the business becomes more and more prosperous, people from the Tong family may also intervene!"

Shopkeeper Liang's worries were not superfluous.

A month later, two more branches opened.The business, similar to the main store, is also very prosperous.Mai Xiang couldn't help but be very surprised by the results of the month-end settlement and inventory. The total profit of the three stores exceeded 5000 taels of silver!
5000 taels of silver, so to speak, the dividend under Mai Xiang's name is 500 taels of silver!Two thousand five hundred taels of silver is a huge sum of money for Mai Xiang!

Shopkeeper Liang was happier than anyone else. You must know that welcoming guests is his own private property.Unlike good luck, no matter how good the business is, he only gets a fixed monthly silver.

He smiled and went to discuss with Mai Xiang: "Mai Xiang, now welcome to customers has taken root in Qinghe County, should we go to other counties and prefectures to open branches?"

Mai Xiang: "Well, it really should be like this! Let's go to Fucheng and the next county to open branches first! What do you think?"

Shopkeeper Liang nodded: "That's right, if your little uncle has no objections, then it's settled like this!"

Of course, even if Hua Yangfan has an opinion, this matter is settled.Because, this is two to one, the minority obeys the majority.Besides, Hua Yangfan only has [-]% of the shares, so he actually has no decision-making power.Discussing with him is also out of respect, and also for the unity and peaceful coexistence of partners.

Shopkeeper Liang stepped forward and went to find Hua Yangfan.

Hua Yangfan naturally had no reason to object: "Very good, I have no objection!"

Shopkeeper Liang informed Mai Xiang, so he quickly went to Fucheng, and first found six shops in Fucheng.According to the decoration sketch drawn by Mai Xiang, the renovation started intensively, and then during the renovation period, he went to two counties next to Qinghe County, bought two shops each, and immediately put the decoration on the agenda.

Three months passed in a flash.At this time, the welcoming guests of Fucheng and neighboring counties have been open for a month.On the day of its opening, in addition to tofu and tofu products, the food of the novelty food store also added wontons, candied haws, cakes, egg tarts, spiced peanuts, and jelly.These few foods are absolutely novel and rare in this ancient country.

The business of welcoming guests in Fucheng is very prosperous, and when the settlement is made at the end of the month, the profit can surprise Mai Xiang.

Just for the guests from Fucheng, the monthly profit is as high as 3 taels of silver!This kind of profit exceeds the profit of Lucky Lai's main store in Fucheng!

Shopkeeper Liang couldn't help being very shocked.

Good guy, you actually make more money than Lucky!
Back then, it was a wise move for him to agree to do business with Mai Xiang!Meeting this little girl, Mai Xiang, brought about a huge change in his life, and also allowed his wife and children to live a prosperous and happy life!
It is not an exaggeration to say that Mai Xiang is his lucky star and benefactor.

Hua Yangfan couldn't help being surprised when he received the dividend.

In fact, he could not have dreamed of such a scene when welcoming guests.Before, he thought that the reason why welcoming guests was successful was because he was the head catcher of Qinghe County.Because he is a head catcher, the world gave him a bit of a face, and dared not make trouble.

In fact, there are also reasons for this.Because he is a head catcher, in Qinghe County, no local hooligans dare to welcome guests and make trouble.However, in addition to this, it also has a lot to do with Shopkeeper Liang being a shareholder.

As for the reception of guests in Fucheng and other county towns, the reason why they are so prosperous and not disturbed by hooligans is because at Mai Xiang's insistence, they hired a guard with strong martial arts skills.Of course, shopkeeper Liang's energy cannot be underestimated.

The prosperity of welcoming guests dazzled the eyes of the world, and also made the prefect Tong Jin's eyes red.If I had known this earlier, I would have given Mai Xiang the position of a flat wife!Anyway, this Mai Xiang is still young, several years younger than Tong Yuan.Tong Yuanda can first marry a woman from a rich family as his wife, and then wait for the wife to give birth to the eldest son, and then marry Mai Xiang!
