The concubine wants to farm: the alluring wife raises the emperor

Chapter 162 Old Acquaintance
Some of the people who were waiting outside for the porridge didn't leave at all, they just waited outside, watching someone from the grain shop bring things out, and immediately swarmed up.

The big man guarding the door stepped forward in time to maintain order and let them line up in a long line.

This unprecedented event shocked everyone in Yonghua City.

The business of the three grain shops is not very good today. It has been a whole morning, and the number of customers who come here is in twos and threes, which is less than one-tenth of what it used to be.

In fact, everyone knows the reason. There is a new grain shop opened in the small place on Commoner Street.

Before the opening, there was a lot of publicity, which could support Sanxian Pavilion, but I didn't expect that publicity could really attract so many people.

One morning passed, and the people in the grain store couldn't sit still. This was the worst day for their business in so many years.

After discussing with several shopkeepers, they decided to send people to investigate the news and see what kind of existence this spring millet was.

Shi Weitian of the Zhao family didn't dare to make a judgment on his own, and ran to report to his master, saying that his store had been robbed of his business.Most of the people in Yonghua City went to that Chunsu.

To say that Zhao Yuanyi definitely knew about Chunsu's propaganda, but he never took it to heart, why should he care that this small shop is not as big as one-third of his size, but now he can't help but look at it.

So he sent his personal servants to buy some things to spy on the news and see what was going on.

Xu Chi was originally inspecting the porridge line outside the store and the order of people queuing up to buy things, but he didn't expect to see a familiar figure when he turned around.

Isn't this the servant of the Zhao family that he met on the road that day?The one who bullies others with power?

He looked at him a few more times and kept this person in his heart.

It's a pity that that person usually has his nostrils upturned, and he bullies so many people that he can't recognize a few. Naturally, he didn't recognize that Xu Chi had ever had a conflict with him.

Xu Chi suddenly remembered that the Zhao family was in the grain business, right?He still remembers what was the name of the grain store ten years ago, food is the sky?right!It's just that food is the sky, and this person is here to inquire about their business?

He entered the shop and tentatively said a few words to Xu Yuan who was in charge of the overall situation. He didn't explain it, but said that the movement of the spring millet was so big today, would it attract people from other grain shops to inquire.

Naturally, Xu Yuan had already considered this point, not to mention that she hadn't expected so many people before, with the current flow of people, I'm afraid there were very few people in other stores.

"It's okay, if they want to see it, let them see it." Xu Yuan left a sentence, and went to keep the accounts by herself.

Xu Chi didn't bother with that villain anymore, but he must discuss with Xu's father and Xu's mother how to deal with this matter when they get home.

Besides, Mother Xu took a spoonful of the porridge and looked at the old woman in disbelief: "Nurse?"

"Miss!" The old woman shook her hand, and the bowl almost fell to the ground.

"Chi'er, Chi'er, come quickly." She beckoned to Xu Chi, "Help her inside and sit down."

Xu Chi helped the old lady aside, following what Xu's mother wanted, but he didn't understand in his heart, why did he help her to sit inside?
"Chi'er, bring this bowl of porridge to her." Xu's mother looked at the old woman who was resting beside her, and her eyes became hot. She hadn't seen her for more than ten years since the Xu family fell. She didn't expect the old lady to become what she is now. .

Father Xu also recognized the old lady, and he felt emotional, but the movements of his hands were still incessant, and this porridge had to be done from the beginning to the end.

Xu Yuan didn't expect the number of people to increase this afternoon, and they all bought more than in the morning.

Chen Fan observed the food in the store, and when a few barrels were empty, he came over and asked her, "Do you want to add some more food?"

"No need." Xu Yuan shook her hand, her hand was about to break, "Closing the shop when these buckets are empty."

Chen Yan nodded and agreed, and went to explain everything to the boys, and then went to help Xu Yuan keep the accounts.

Li Yin helped Xu Yuan write some things earlier, but later she couldn't keep up with her speed, so she was sent by Xu Yuan to help the cooking women light the fire, and now she is sweating too much.

"The porridge will stop after the pot is boiled."

The cooking women breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. They didn't expect that Xu Yuan said that it was a day of porridge, and it was really a whole day.

They were too tired after working all day, so Xu Yuan said that they could finally rest.

Finally, before dark, all the grain barrels were emptied.

The porridge outside the door was already empty before the food, so Xu's father and Xu's mother had already returned to Sanxian Pavilion to rest, but Xu Yuan found it interesting that Xu's mother seemed to meet an old acquaintance, and it was really a coincidence.

Until the door of the shop was closed, there were still many people wandering outside the door.

The people in the store were paralyzed as soon as the door was closed, and everyone shouted "I'm so tired"!
Xu Yuan smiled, it was really tiring, so she said: "Today's salary is doubled."

Immediately, the voice in the shop turned into cheers again, and Li Yin came out of the kitchen amidst the cheers, but immediately made the people in the shop laugh and laugh.

Seeing his appearance, Xu Yuan almost burst into tears from laughing.I really don't know whether this person is burning the fire or burning him, the whole face is full of large and small black unknown objects, even the hands are black.

"How did you make it like this?" Xu Yuan couldn't stop laughing.

Li Yin looked at a group of people smiling from ear to ear inexplicably, what's wrong?
When Xu Yuan finally regained her strength, Li Yin's face was already dark and red. He didn't know why everyone was laughing, but he also understood that everyone was pointing at him and laughing, and his heart was already suffering beyond recognition.

"Come here, I'll wipe it for you." Xu Yuan simply pulled up her sleeve and wiped it on his face. There were still drops of sweat on his face, which was much more convenient.

However, this effect is really not satisfactory. On the contrary, it helps to smooth out the black things, and it looks a lot more natural.

After another burst of laughter, Xu Yuan gave up struggling and took him to the inner courtyard to let him fetch water from the well to wash himself.

It wasn't until Li Yin saw his face reflected in the water basin that Li Yin finally understood what they were laughing at.

"It's ugly." He muttered in a low voice.

"Not ugly." Xu Yuan patted him, "Who dares to say that my husband is ugly."

Li Yin grinned, his black face made his teeth shine even more.

"Hurry up and wash up." Xu Yuan clutched her stomach, her stomach ached from laughing.

After Li Yin finished washing his face, Xu Yuan took him out again. Xu Chi had already brought people to tidy up the outside, and all the food had been filled.

"Thank you for your hard work today, Zuixianglou, I treat you." Xu Yuan stood on the steps and said loudly, "You can eat whatever you want!"

Chen Yan looked at Xu Yuan helplessly. He really didn't know whether such a boss was good or bad. He treated them well, but could she really make money this way?
