Chapter 243 I Should Call You Young Madam

"You're presumptuous!" Father Cheng slammed the table and jumped up, "I think you've gone against the grain, and you're ignoring me less and less, seeing that your grandma and I don't even have the same name." No, just ask to take your mother away, who do you think you are, I'm still alive, I need you to take care of your mother."

Cheng Xia shrugged, "Father, if you say that, then I won't say anything. Since you are confident that you can take good care of your mother, please pay more attention. If the situation like today happens again in the future," Cheng Xia Turning her head and smiling at the gloomy Mrs. Gu, "Grandma probably won't be able to drink tea so leisurely, and will go to the jail to chat with Cuihua."

Cheng Xia raised her eyebrows and looked at Mrs. Gu. Seeing her face change instantly, she suddenly smiled, "Grandma also knows that I helped the county magistrate eliminate gamblers. The county magistrate will always take care of me more. Even if grandma doesn't do it for my mother , for your own sake, please also ask my mother to live longer, after all, something happened to my mother, and grandma will not be able to live in peace."

Cheng Xia straightened her clothes, didn't look at the faces of the two people who were more lifeless than the other, and walked home directly holding an umbrella.

Damn it, I can't stand this kind of aggrieved life, so I will threaten Gu Shi first to see if she dares to do it.

In the next few days, Cheng Xia still went to Cheng's house every day, but instead of staying for a day, she always boiled the medicine and fed it to Mrs. Zhang before leaving.After a few days of hard work, seeing Zhang's improvement is getting better and better, Cheng Xia's heart finally relaxes.

On the fifth day of September, it was the market in Chong'an County. Cheng Xia brought Xiaolong and Yang Dalang to the county one day earlier, cleaned the inside and outside of the shop, and cleaned it thoroughly again. much better.

The shop was not big, and Cheng Xia didn't want to make it too complicated, because Dahua was always looking after her, but Dahua couldn't read and couldn't do the abacus, so if it was too complicated, she might feel uncomfortable.

Cheng Xia deliberately chose a large shelf, and put all the large and small porcelain jars filled with chili sauce on it, looking neat and elegant.

They were in charge of cleaning, and Yang Dalang was in charge of pasting the sign of "Cheng Yun Chili Sauce" on each porcelain altar. By the way, he also made a large plaque and hung it directly above the door, which can be regarded as the signboard of their shop.

Xiaolong was in charge of wiping here and there with a small rag, and Cheng Xia couldn't help chuckling when he saw that the little guy had arranged many tasks for himself.

When he was busy, Boss Shao also came, not to mention bringing a lot of shop assistants over to insist on helping, so enthusiastic that Cheng Xia felt a little embarrassed.Boss Shao was even more straightforward, and finally took over all the work by himself, saying that he was experienced and knew how to run a shop well, so Cheng Xia let him go, and she was happy and leisurely.

While busy with work, Boss Shao chatted up Cheng Xia without saying anything, "This morning, someone from your village came to me with some weird things, saying that they were called clothes hangers. I had never seen them before, but I must not I don’t admit it, he did a good job, not to mention the exquisite and complicated carvings, but the style is enough to attract people’s attention. I only found out after chatting with you that he is from your village, and he is familiar with you.”

Cheng Xia smiled knowingly, he was talking about Uncle Tian, ​​Cheng Xia nodded, "Yes, Uncle Tian is indeed familiar with me."

Boss Shao thought for a while, then suddenly smiled, "So, the thing he made was actually taught to him by you, right?"

Cheng Xia was taken aback, and looked at Boss Shao in disbelief, admiring his keen observation and associative power, "You can think of all of this."

Boss Shao raised his eyebrows, "It's rare for an honest man like him to come up with such a delicate and small thing, and you, you came up with such a weird idea, and I can think of it. It's not surprising."

Cheng Xia smiled, "Boss Shao is indeed a well-informed person, so he is naturally different from others."

Boss Shao fell silent suddenly, and inadvertently raised his eyes to look at Yang Dalang who was putting up the sign in the distance, and sighed slightly, "According to the young master, I should have called you young madam."

Cheng Xia was startled, and waved her hands in a hurry, "Boss Shao, don't be joking, I can call you Uncle Zhong as he pleases, but let's forget about the title Young Madam, I feel numb all over. I am me, and I won't be Any name is stuck." Cheng Xia said, comparing himself with Boss Shao, "Between us, I still prefer Boss Shao, a businessman who used to test me and suspect me, rather than a crowned boss. Uncle Zhong with the title of housekeeper, between the two of us, don't let the previous relationship deteriorate."

Boss Shao stared at Cheng Xia for a long time, and blinked as if he didn't believe what she said. After confirming it, he burst out laughing, "You are really an admirable girl, young master has a good vision."

Cheng Xia nodded without shame, "I think so too." She is good, she naturally knows.

Boss Shao couldn't help laughing, the scars on his face seemed much cuter.

"What are you laughing at?" The laughter of the two people was too presumptuous and public, making Yang Dalang turn around and ask.

Cheng Xia snorted, "It's none of your business."

Seeing Yang Dalang rubbing his nose for fun, Cheng Xia and Boss Shao laughed even more wildly.

After laughing enough, Cheng Xia asked, "I wonder if Boss Shao has any plans to cooperate with Uncle Tian?"

"That's natural." Boss Shao nodded affirmatively. He will not let go of any idea that can make a lot of money. "Although that thing looks easy, it is not easy to make. If it is done well, it will take more trouble. You That Uncle Tian has a very good craftsmanship, and the things he makes are exquisite and beautiful, and I like them very much, so I asked him to do as much as possible, as much as I want."

Cheng Xia smiled in satisfaction, "Then how did Boss Shao set the price with Uncle Tian?"

"Hey," Boss Shao suddenly sternly said, seemingly displeased, "This is a secret, he won't suffer from left and right, and he can make a lot of money."

"Okay," Cheng Xia nuzzled and muttered softly, "You really are a profiteer."

Boss Shao heard every word in his ears, and laughed more wantonly, his voice was so loud that Cheng Xia almost suspected that he would be deaf.

It was very late that day, so Cheng Xia and Yang Dalang stayed directly. Tomorrow will be the county seat, so they have more time to prepare.

The second day was a sunny day with thousands of clouds and dark clouds, which made people feel very refreshed.

Dahua got up early, tidied up the shop thoroughly, made a simple breakfast, waited for Cheng Xia and Yang Dalang to get up, ate something in a hurry, and prepared for the official first day of business.

Cheng Xia asked Yang Dalang to move several large porcelain altars to the door, and put a few stools inside and outside the door, so that they could sit by themselves and the guests could rest when they were tired.

The sky was still bright, and there were already many people in the market, and some passers-by came to look curiously. Seeing that there was chili sauce in the big porcelain jar, there was a smile on the corners of their eyes and brows, and they took another look at the door standing Cheng Xia, this is completely relieved, "Oh, you have opened a shop, and I have been looking for you for several days."

This very strange uncle couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "You don't know, my boy works as a nursing home in a rich family. I bought a porcelain jar of chili sauce last time and he took it away. I didn't expect the young master to taste it. But I just keep making noise. I come to every market, looking for you over and over again, but you are not there, but I am so worried. It’s okay, you finally showed up.”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xia hurried over and smiled apologetically, "Uncle, you can still recognize me."

"That's right," the uncle said earnestly, "You are the only one in Chong'an County. Even Tianyou's grocery store doesn't sell it. Isn't it rare? No one who forgets can forget you."

Hearing the uncle's exaggerated remarks, Cheng Xia laughed immediately, and she pointed to the small porcelain jar and the big porcelain jar and asked, "Then uncle, do you want the chili sauce from the whole small porcelain jar, or from the bulky large porcelain jar?" ?”

"Huh?" The uncle scratched his head curiously, "Is there any difference?"

"Uncle, listen to me," Cheng Xia explained politely, "This small porcelain altar is still at the original price, two hundred renminbi a porcelain altar, you can take all the altars home. But not everyone in our county As rich as an uncle, if someone who has no money wants to try it, but can’t afford a whole porcelain jar, wouldn’t that be a bad thing? I thought, just sell it loosely, [-] cents a scoop But don’t worry, uncle,” Cheng Xia said hastily, “I’ve done the math, and there’s still more than two catties of chili sauce in the porcelain jar, so it’s a good deal to buy the whole thing anyway.”

The uncle laughed, "Okay, bring me five porcelain jars." He wanted his son to honor the young master, so that their family's life would be easier.

Cheng Xia responded abruptly, "Uncle, do you want beef, fermented bean curd, shrimp, or the simplest chili sauce with nothing added?"

The uncle was taken aback for a moment, and thought for a while, "Let's have one of the same, and two bottles of the simplest chili sauce."

"Okay," Cheng Xia raised an eyebrow at Dahua with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I'll leave the rest to you."

"Okay, okay," Dahua agreed nervously and excitedly, and quickly went to get all kinds of chili sauce according to the categories she had divided, until she handed the chili sauce from Wucitan to the uncle, and took a tael of silver. Hua was so excited that she almost cried.

Cheng Xia walked over and patted her on the back, and quickly pointed to the person who just walked over, "Sister-in-law, there is another guest here."

Dahua wiped away the tears of excitement in an instant, and hurriedly followed Cheng Xia's example and asked the guests what they wanted.

Cheng Xia watched quietly from the side, and suddenly smiled in relief.She raised her eyebrows and looked at Yang Dalang, who was leaning against the door frame with her arms crossed, "How about it, my sister-in-law is still very powerful."

"You still call me sister-in-law?" Yang Dalang looked at Cheng Xia, who looked like a proud man, with a funny face.

Cheng Xia quickly patted her mouth, she suddenly understood Eucommia somewhat.It's true, once you get used to calling someone by a title, it seems hard to change it.It's the same for him calling him Miss Cheng, and it's the same for her calling Mrs. Dahua. Habit, such a terrible thing.

However, Du Zhong, Cheng Xia twitched his lips slightly, Du Zhong should be back soon.
