Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 50 Sudden Strange Disease
"Girl, what do you want to buy?" A waiter warmly greeted her.

"I want to make a plaque. My shop will open in a few days." Ye Qiongdan thought for a while, "Let's call it Jiuwei Restaurant. Food has eight flavors, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, fishy, ​​and astringent. , Chong, for example, life. But how can life be as simple as food and only have eight flavors? It’s better to call it Jiuwei Restaurant.”

"What a Jiuwei restaurant, I didn't expect you to be educated. I don't know where you plan to open this restaurant?" Zhao Ruyi's piercing voice came in from outside the door. The Zhao family also has a restaurant that will open in a few days , Therefore, she also came to order a plaque.

"It's opened by the pier, and the original Chen Ji dry food store is converted into a restaurant." Ye Qiongdan said lightly.

"Did I say that I would rent the shop to you? How did you get the confidence?" Zhao Ruyi walked into the carpentry shop and said sarcastically, "You better not make this plaque, it's useless."

Ye Qiongdan ignored her, and said to the boy, "It's called Jiuwei Restaurant. What kinds of materials do you have here? What's the specification?"

"Didn't you hear what I said?" Zhao Ru felt that she didn't take her seriously, and couldn't help being even more angry, "The shopfronts on the half of the street were sent by my Zhao family. They offended me, Zhao Ruyi, and wanted to rent them. My Zhao family's shop is simply wishful thinking!"

Ye Qiongdan took a deep breath, turned to look at her with cold and indifferent eyes: "Are you very inferior?"

"Where do I feel inferior..."

"If you don't feel inferior, why make things difficult for me? Are you afraid that Tao Anping will be snatched away by me?" Ye Qiongdan showed a calm smile.

As the saying goes, those who speak do not intend to listen, but Ye Qiongdan's casual sentence hit Zhao Ruyi's sore foot.

Zhao Ruyi found that since they went to the Yamen to issue a notarization, saying that they would not communicate with each other again, Tao Anping became even more distraught.

He often finds an excuse to go out, and then wanders around the pier, looking into the shop from time to time.

Zhao Ruyi didn't understand, how could she be inferior to that country girl?

Why is Tao Anping unable to see the goodness of a country girl because she is out of her mind?
"You treat Tao Anping as a treasure, so you think the whole world regards Tao Anping as a treasure? Sorry, in my eyes, he is really not that important. At most, I am a little more familiar with him than a stranger. A little bit, you can ignore this 'little bit'," Ye Qiongdan raised her eyebrows, "Also, don't look for superiority in others, otherwise, you will live a narrower life."

"So what about narrowness? Nobility is what other people should do, and I just need to throw money in your face! Because I will be happy, and you will be miserable!"

"Stay on the front line when doing things, so we can meet each other in the future. Have you ever thought about how embarrassing it will be when you ask for me in the future?" Ye Qiongdan asked meaningfully.

"I believe that Feng Shui won't turn so fast, you don't have to worry about it if you don't make sure," Zhao Ruyi pushed Ye Qiongdan aside and said to the boy, "Let's make my plaque first, I'll make an elm plaque, Just do it in regular size."

"Eight taels of silver." The boy replied.

"Do it for me first, I'll pay ten taels of silver." Ye Qiongdan said.

"15 taels!"

"20 taels." Ye Qiongdan said without changing his face.

"30 taels!" Zhao Ruyi glared at her.

"50 taels." Ye Qiongdan met her gaze and said expressionlessly.

Zhao Ruyi took a deep breath, she didn't want to raise the price any more.

But it's okay to lose face in front of anyone, but it's not allowed to lose face in front of Ye Qiongdan!
"Five... 55 taels..." She pinched her palms and took a deep breath.

"Well, I'll leave it to you, you can do it first." Ye Qiongdan gave her a faint smile.

"You did it on purpose?" Zhao Ruyi looked at her fiercely.

"Nope." Ye Qiongdan calmly put the purse on the counter and opened it slightly, "I just took 50 taels with me when I went out. The daughter of the richest man in Qili Town is not even 55 taels of silver. sorry?"

The dispute between the two attracted the peeping of other customers in the store.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhao Ruyi's face turned red: "Even if I don't pay 55 taels of silver, will you pay 50 taels of silver to order a plaque?"

"Yes? After all, you will be unhappy if you lose to me. Making you unhappy is much more important than the 50 taels of silver. Who made you keep me unhappy." Ye Qiongdan said calmly .

Of course, Zhao Ruyi didn't want to see Ye Qiongdan proud anymore, even though she knew in her heart that spending 55 taels of silver to make a plaque was really not worth it.

But firstly, the dispute between the two fell in the public eye, and she, Zhao Ruyi, was used to being proud since she was a child, and couldn't afford to lose that person; secondly, Ye Qiongdan was her rival in love, and she was already at a disadvantage emotionally. You can't fall behind in your most confident wealth again.

Zhao Ruyi only felt that it was difficult to get off the tiger, and she was in a dilemma.

Ye Qiongdan ignored her entanglement, and directly pushed the money bag towards the boy as if she didn't exist: "Let's make the plaque with silver characters on a red background. I want it urgently..."

Zhao Ru felt that Ye Qiongdan was ignoring her again, so he couldn't help feeling angry, untied his purse and began to pay: "55 taels of silver, I'll do it first!"

The little boy was a little embarrassed: "There is always a rule of first come, first served, I will ask the shopkeeper..."

At this moment, the shopkeeper came over: "Shunzi, will you do business? Of course, the highest price wins!"

Zhao Ruyi glanced at Ye Qiongdan triumphantly, but was ignored by Ye Qiongdan again.

After she ordered the plaque with the shopkeeper, she walked out contentedly.

After Zhao Ruyi left, the shopkeeper asked, "Miss, would you like to spend 50 taels of silver to make a plaque?"

Ye Qiongdan smiled slightly and spit out six words: "Are you joking?"

As soon as this remark came out, the peeping people laughed.

The shopkeeper touched his nose resentfully, and said dully, "What does the girl want?"

Ye Qiongdan stated his request, and after the two parties reached an agreement, Ye Qiongdan paid eight taels of silver and agreed to come to pick up the goods in three days.

After Zhao Ruyi left, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she was so angry that she crumpled her skirt.

She didn't feel like doing anything today, so she reprimanded Tao Anping when she returned to Tao's house, moved another chair and sat in the study, staring at Tao Anping face to face while reading.

Tao Anping felt extremely wronged, and regretted marrying her even more.

It's only been a long time since they got married, and the two of them seem to have become enemies. Can they live on in the next few decades?
Just when Tao Anping was in a trance, a servant girl shouted in a panic outside the door: "Young Madam! Young Madam! It's not good! Something happened to Mr. Zhao!"

"Speak up if you have something to say, what's the proper way to yell in a hurry?" Zhao Ruyi scolded the maid.

"Young...Young Madam... Something really happened to Mr. Zhao..." The servant girl lowered her head aggrievedly, "He, he coughed up blood."

"What's going on?" Zhao Ruyi's face turned serious.

"It rained heavily last night, and the master went out for a while, and when he came back, he felt a little uncomfortable," the maid said carefully, "Early this morning, the master coughed up a mouthful of blood, and immediately ordered someone to go to Jihe Hall to ask for help." Doctor, after the doctor came, he couldn't see what was wrong, so he invited the old doctor with the best medical skills from Jihetang."

"What does the old doctor say?"

"The old doctor can't see what's wrong, he said...he said..."

"What did he say? You should say it quickly!" Zhao Ruyi wanted to beat someone anxiously.

"He said that there is someone who might be able to see what is wrong with the master, and there is a way to cure it," the servant girl said bravely, "That person is Ye Qiongdan!"

Zhao Ruyi was stunned, and after a while, she sneered and said, "So you are waiting for me here! Don't listen to their nonsense, send someone to Qinghe County to ask for a doctor, if the doctor in Qinghe County can't cure you My father, then send someone to Yiling County to invite a doctor!"

"Yes." The servant girl said hastily.

"A yellow-haired girl in the countryside, still thinking that I will beg her? In the next life!" Zhao Ruyi snorted coldly, and then began to stare at Tao Anping fiercely, seeing that Tao Anping became more distracted after hearing Ye Qiongdan's name. He was so powerful that he snapped, "Hurry up and read the book!"

Tao Anping quickly shifted his gaze to the book, and read without any fluctuations in his tone: "The first lady..."

Outside the window, in the shade of summer, two orioles cuddle up to each other, and their cries are melodious and moving.

Inside the window, there are many shadows on the curtain. The two seem to be in harmony with each other, thinking about each other.

Dock, Chen Kee dry food shop.

All the people in the shop started to clean up the shop. Although it had to wait a few days for the opening, the shop had to be cleaned up in advance.

After the four people in the shop spent an hour cleaning up the shop, Ye Qiongdan took a breath, moved a bench and put it at the door to rest.

There was a big tree outside the door, and the shadow of the tree fell on the stone steps, bringing a touch of coolness to the door.

She closed her eyes, enjoying the gentle feeling of light and shadow swaying on her face, her black hair hanging down like splashed ink.

"Hey... hey, is it Dan girl?" Wang Xizi called out hesitantly.

Ye Qiongdan opened his eyes and looked at the fellow villager.

"Uncle Wang, why are you here? Come here, sit for a while, and see that you are sweating profusely! I'll ask the waiter to pour you a bowl of water." Ye Qiongdan said politely to the old man.

"This is the shop where you do long-term work? Why is it empty?" Wang Lizi walked over slowly and sat on the long bench, "Isn't this a dry food shop with a very prosperous business before? Now all the dry food is here. Where did it go?"

"All the dry food is sold. I plan to rent this shop and open a catering shop." Ye Qiongdan didn't intend to hide it from the villagers anymore, and it wouldn't last long, so it really didn't make much sense.

"Are you renting? Are you kidding me? You are a little girl, where did you get the money?" Cripple Wang shook his head, "It is not easy to make money. Your uncle Wang has earned money all his life. I'm old, and I don't have a few coins left in my hand!"

"I really intend to rent this shop." Ye Qiongdan said solemnly.

"Young man, you are not careful when you speak. You said that if the cowhide is blown out, how can you go back to Shanghe Village to meet people?" Wang Lizi waved his hand, "Don't worry, I will treat you as nonsense. I won't spread this word to the village. But in the future, you can't say that to other people in the village. Your uncle Wang is kind, but it doesn't mean that others are also kind. If this word is spread back to the village, what will others do? Are you kidding me!"
