Qian Qiaoqiao looked at the two small cans in front of him, and remained unmoved. Duan Xiaohe opened the two jars and smelled the sweet fragrance that filled the air, causing Qian Qiaoqiao to reveal her curiosity.
"What is this?"
"These are all small talk. Two days ago, I was injured in the waist, so I had nothing to do at home."
Then, with a smile, Qian Qiao led them to a table and, after listening to Duan, poured a glass of cinnamon water and scooped up a spoonful of green plum jam." This thing is good, straightforward and practical. If you order it on a cake, it should be easy to sell.
When the iron was hot, Duan Xiaohe proposed to open a restaurant in the county. After thinking of the name, she decided to call it "Jade Food". Qian Qiaoqiao said, "How can you be so anxious, opening a shop is so easy in your eyes. "Let's not talk about the importance of this place and how big that restaurant is. In addition, the things in your restaurant should be new. Coincidentally, someone feels that something is strange …"
At this point, she turned to look at him. Elder sister, do you think that my things are not new enough and coincidental enough and surprising enough? "
Qian Qiaoqiao was grinning from ear to ear, "My pastries are the best in the entire town. If we can open the restaurant in the county town, we can definitely earn that money. Oh right, sis, have you thought of anything else these few days? "
"There are different ways to sell it. If there isn't enough, we can keep it for sale on the jade food …"
Qian Qiaoqiao was also a straightforward person. She slapped the table and said, "Fine, I'll go to the county to take a look at the location sometime. If it's suitable, we'll settle in. You don't need to worry about the restaurant. Just go and get something new from the kitchen. "As for that name, let's call it 'that'. It's graceful and nice to listen to."
After leaving Qian Qiaoqiao's restaurant, the two went around the town again, buying some snacks for Liu Da and a new set of clothes for Old Man Liu. During this period of time, Liu San had even teased them about the slob-like clothes on them, making Duan Xiaohe quite angry.
When they returned home, the two saw Lady Wang sitting in the shade of the courtyard and were stunned. Why is she here?
Lady Wang walked to her side anxiously, "Then I won't be selling anymore, I won't sell anymore, and the money won't be refunded either. Your father became anxious and almost fought with him."
This was already proof of the land deed in exchange for money. How could he go back on his words!
"What's going on?"
Lady Wang pulled her towards the outside as he spoke extremely quickly: "I wonder how that old master of the Fang family heard of this news. The moment you guys left, he ordered someone to buy the mountain forest the next day. I don't know what he said to him, but now that he made that family turn hostile, and your father heard that this Master Fang almost ruined my sister, he was so angry that he wanted to pick up that guy and fight with him. If it wasn't for me and your brother, I'm afraid that he would be entering County Government Office and going to jail again! "
Liu San's face darkened, "Mother, wait for me, I will go and bring the cow out."
The Lady Wang was startled for a moment, and then, he suddenly remembered that there was something powerful in their house, so he replied in agreement and tightly pulled Duan Xiaohe, and waited by the side of the road. Duan Xiaohe told Liu San to take more money to prepare for future emergencies, and she also brought the land deed certificate with him.
The three of them rushed to Fujiang Village, and directly looked for that house before they even arrived home. Lady Wang said that the family members were easy to talk about, but when the three of them clearly stated their intentions of coming here, they were already chased out.
"What exactly does your family mean? You should at least give me an explanation, right? "We agreed on it the other day that the land deed is written in black and white. Do you all still want to go back on your words?"
His surname was Li, and the person who stood out was a woman. She looked kind, but her methods were too inappropriate. Seeing the proof of title deed, Old Woman Li frowned and waved her hand, saying to Duan Xiaohe:
"That was your dad, right? Look what he did to my house. My family sells the mountain forest, but he actually defiled my family. My family's little grandson was scared by him to the point he was crying and had just fallen asleep. "You guys hurry up and leave. I won't sell that mountain forest to you!"
Duan Xiaohe's temper flared up, and with a kick, he knocked over the other party's fence. "Then you should compensate me with the money. If this does not work, then it will still work. But after receiving my money, you should turn around and sell the mountain forest to someone else. You're not the one doing business here."
Old Lady Li also became anxious. She slapped her thigh and shouted, "I will compensate you with the silver. Since I sold it to someone else, why would I keep your family's silver for!?" If you force us to act like this, we won't be able to take anything out to give you. "
Lady Wang was displeased, pointed at Old Lady Li and said: "Previously, my man came alone, but you bullied him. Now that my girl has returned with Young Master, it's time for you to change your rotten excuse. You've always said that you'll pay my family money, but who do you pay my family? "
"That young man from last time said that he was your cousin! I've told you many times, why don't you believe it! "
Lady Wang sneered: "My family doesn't have a cousin. You're basically lying and greedy for those five taels of silver. "It's really something. He sold his conscience off with just five taels of silver. He's really shameless!"
Old Lady Li's face became even more unsightly. She probably had never been scolded like this before in her life. Seeing the scene become more and more stiff, Duan Xiaohe asked again from the beginning. Old Mrs. Li had already lost her patience. She turned around and was about to enter the house.
Duan Xiaohe shouted twice and the other party ignored him, the Liu San was straightforward and nimble, jumping straight into the fences. His tall and strong build scared Old Lady Li quite a bit, he almost shouted out that the bandits were stealing the people!
"Auntie, don't worry. We're just asking about the situation." My wife does not have any cousins. Maybe the 5 taels of silver was taken by someone else. "It's just that we need to know who lied to him, and whether he was deceived by you or not."
"Old Lady Li carefully sized up Liu San, and when Liu San saw this, he revealed a row of white teeth." Aunt, this mountain forest is what my wife wants to buy. Upon hearing that you sold the mountain forest to another person, the two of us rushed over from Liu Village. "Do you think we should let them in first and have a nice chat?"
Although the Liu San looked mighty, his appearance was very sincere. Old Lady Li thought for a moment. Things couldn't go on like this, so she opened the courtyard door to let them in. He pointed to the fence that Duan Xiaohe had knocked down with a single kick and said: "You guys have to fix this, there are a lot of weasels here, I even raised a few chicks in my yard."
"Sure, I'll get it for you immediately." The Liu San nodded and walked over to fix the fence. Old Lady Li saw that she was satisfied, so she brought out three stools and let them sit in the yard.
Old Lady Li said that the morning after the forest was sold to them, someone from the Fang family came. He said he would buy the forest no matter what, and the price was even higher. It was a full ten taels of silver. When those people saw that Old Lady Li was still hesitating, they threatened her. Old Madame Li then said that her Young Master did business in the capital, and if she were to tear off her face, neither side would be able to get back at him. At most, she wouldn't sell this forest!
Then when it was almost dusk, a young man came over and said he was the Duan Clan's cousin and wanted to return to the mountain forest with five silver coins. Old Lady Li asked him for the land deed certificate. The young man said that some people in his family thought that the mountain forest was too expensive to buy it, and even made a ruckus as a result, tearing the land deed certificate apart. Old Lady Li was frustrated by these things, so she gave him the five taels of silver. The next day, another person came from Master Fang's side, and he directly signed the official land deed.
However, because of the matter of the five taels of silver, the Duan Clan's father always came looking for trouble with Old Lady Li's family. Seeing the courtyard full of mess, Duan Xiaohe felt extremely guilty and paid the man back with an extra two taels of silver.
did not say anything, but he did not want the Lady Wang. After chatting non-stop all the way back to the Duan Clan, only then did Duan Xiaohe find it hard to endure it and caused her to shut her mouth.
"Who asked father to go and destroy someone's house! This was obviously the doing of that Master Fang, that young man was someone he had arranged. "He took my money and still wants to take away my mountain forest? He is simply going too far!"
Liu San frowned, "But the seal on the one in his hand was left behind by the officials. If this matter gets blown into the court, it's still him."
Honest farmers really could not do cunning merchants. It was because of this point that the old master of the Fang family had obtained this advantage. Duan Xiaohe hated these rules and regulations. In the modern world, it was impossible to do without some tasks, but she was annoyed. Why were there so many things in the ancient times?
"What should I do about this?" Old Man Duan was still thinking about the five taels of silver in his heart. He was angered to the point that he hadn't had a proper meal in the past two days.
Duan Xiaohe had no idea what to do now. It would be a pity to give up on that forest. In her eyes, it was a place where gold could be grown. Moreover, the restaurant with Qian Qiaoqiao would also need the fruit trees planted on the ground, they definitely would not give in so easily.
However, if the Fang family's old master were to openly steal something from the Fang family's old master, they would definitely be at a disadvantage …
How could this be good?
"This Master Fang only made a small fortune in the tea business, but that land is definitely not a good place to grow tea leaves. I thought that maybe he knew that we were the ones who bought the forest, so he deliberately made things difficult for us. He can be a stumbling block, and we can turn him over in the ditch. Wife, I'll settle this matter with you. "
Lady Wang and the face of the Duan Clan's old man were filled with disbelief. People who had nothing at all were usually brainless, and they all felt that the Liu San was precisely this kind of person. They would rather believe that the Liu San would directly beat him up than believe that he would use his brain to play tricks with Master Fang.
Although Duan Xiaohe didn't know what he would do, she still trusted him a lot, so she agreed to this matter. After Liu San left, Lady Wang shook his head repeatedly with the Duan Clan's father, saying that Liu San had already entered three palaces, what would happen if he were to enter again?
"Sometimes, Liu San is a bit reckless, but he still knows about propriety and severity. "Let's just wait and see. If that doesn't work, then I don't want the forest. There's no need to blow the matter up just for five taels of silver."
