The gourmet competition held in Tiansheng Building on the fifth day of February was the most popular among Tiansheng Building and Fan Building.
Fortunately, the winner in the end was still Fan Lou.
Although Zhu Miaoxian, who had always looked down on Qin's shop, unexpectedly went out of his way and showed a satisfied smile after eating the whole fish feast that Qin Xiangxiang made: "Qin's shopkeeper is really a wonderful person. It's delicious. It's delicious. I've never tasted it before." Such delicious fish!”
But Lu Fengze, who had always thought highly of Qin's shop, felt that Qin Xiangxiang's whole fish feast was a bit undercooked. Especially the fish breasts, the cuts were not crystal clear enough.
The most crucial vote was Nangong Wenyue. He voted for Chen Guichun.
"Mr. Qin will continue to work hard until the end." He said lightly.
Marquis Wenchang showed a proud smile and looked at Qin Xiangxiang with a frustrated look on his face.
Li Wanzhou leaned down and asked him: "Master Hou, then..."
"After all, she is a weak little lady who cannot make any trouble." Marquis Wenchang said, "Go back home."
He was so nervous that he actually spent precious time participating in such a boring competition. If someone hadn't given him the message, he wouldn't have bothered to come.
But the result was good. He used the remaining money in the Hou Mansion to bet Fan Lou to win. Now the expenses of the Hou Mansion were covered.
The excitement belongs to the winner. Qin Xiangxiang and Hong Xiu left Tiansheng Tower dejectedly.
As soon as I went out, I ran into Lady Ma.
"Hey, did Madam Qin lose too?" Madam Ma seemed to be in a good mood.
Before Qin Xiangxiang could answer, Madam Ma couldn't wait to push her away: "I'm asking Mr. Yue, do you still remember me? The fried tofu at Ma's Tavern in Tianshui Alley, the one you reviewed..."
Qin Xiangxiang didn't look back, but Hongxiu looked back and shook her head.
Seeing that dusk was approaching, the two of them had been busy all day. They used some leftovers in the middle and were already a little hungry. They walked to the alley and saw dense taverns and restaurants. They didn't care which one they were. They walked in casually and called. Two bowls of noodle soup and started eating.
Although they were very hungry, they thought the noodle soup was delicious. When Qin Xiangxiang and Hong Xiu finished eating, there were no other diners in the store except the owner.
"Mrs. Qin, please tell me inside." The store owner is a young man with a beard, a scarf on his head, and bright eyes.
Qin Xiangxiang was not surprised at all, while Hongxiu was a little stunned.
"I'll come back as soon as I go." Qin Xiangxiang said and followed the store into the inner door.
The decoration of the inner door is no different from that of ordinary people's homes, and there are even a lot of sundries placed in the place where you enter.
Just behind this pile of clutter, Qin Xiangxiang met Nangong Wenyue, who was elegant and sought after by thousands of young ladies.
He crossed his hands and folded them into his wide sleeves. His handsome face still looked cold: "Are Madam Qin satisfied with today's arrangements at Tiansheng Tower?"
"Satisfied, satisfied." Qin Xiangxiang nodded repeatedly, "I couldn't be more satisfied."
"So, are you satisfied with the clues I provided to Mr. Wenyue Langjun?" Qin Xiangxiang asked.
Nangong Wenyue didn't smile: "Satisfied." After he finished speaking, he handed out a banknote from his sleeve, "Ms. Qin is very courageous."
When Qin Xiangxiang saw the banknote, he suddenly smiled like a flower and took the banknote: "It's okay, it's okay. I'm afraid I'm not brave enough to ask Mr. Yuelang."
Nangong Wenyue was too lazy to talk back and forth with her: "I won't give it away."
Qin Xiangxiang walked quickly: "I am looking forward to our next cooperation."
The curtain was lowered and the little lady's thin body disappeared.
Nangong Wenyue's eyelids drooped.
The eldest lady seems to have many secrets. Hongxiu didn't dare to ask, nor did she want to ask.
When I returned to Waterwheel Alley, I saw Mrs. Wang walking around the door anxiously from a distance.
As soon as she saw Qin Xiangxiang, Mrs. Wang shed tears: "Madam, you are back! That Mr. Huang is here again, and he has to frame you for hiring someone to push him, causing him to be injured, and bringing someone to the store to cause trouble. Searched it all!"
Is there such a thing?
Tian Xiang was behind, his face turned red with anger: "If Ma Sizhi hadn't passed by, that rogue would have even broken into the lady's boudoir and searched it."
Qin Xiangxiang asked hurriedly: "Are you all okay?"
"We're fine. It's just that the stove in the kitchen was smashed."
Qin Xiangxiang breathed a sigh of relief: "Everyone is fine."
"Everyone was frightened today. The restaurants will be closed tonight and tomorrow. We have been busy for a few days and everyone is busy repairing and repairing." Qin Xiangxiang added.
In fact, they didn't work very hard, it was the eldest lady who did the hard work. Not only had to be busy feeding them, but they also had to endure exploitation by officials.
Mrs. Wang wanted to talk, but Qin Xiangxiang waved her hand and said, "I'm tired. Tianxiang will bring me some hot water to the room later. I want to wash up." She felt like she was covered in fishy fish after eating that big grass carp. Taste.
Mrs. Wang didn't even have time to ask how today's competition was, Qin Xiangxiang left.
Mrs. Wang looked at Hong Xiu, who shook her head: "I lost, I lost to Fan Lou."
Oh, that's not surprising. Fan Lou's reputation is greater than that of Tianxiang Tower, so losing to Fan Lou is not bad.
Qin Xiangxiang passed by the pile of bricks by the wall and looked around at no one, so he stepped on it and looked around. It was quiet over there and there was no smell of people.
"Mu Langjun, Mu Langjun." Qin Xiangxiang called twice.
No one answered.
Probably going out. Today, she and Hongxiu went to Tiansheng Tower, but she didn't feed them yet. She thought they were hungry and went out to look for food.
However, until night, when Qin Xiangxiang finished taking a bath and dried her hair in front of the window, there was no movement next door.
Mu Ting left as quietly as he came.
Perhaps he felt that he had had enough of this kind of hiding, so he went back to his border.
Qin Xiangxiang originally wanted to ask Mu Ting, but he refused and went to teach Huang Gongshi a lesson for her. She wanted to tell him that there was no need to do so. She would have a way to deal with that dirty business without bloodshed in the future. Force cannot solve the problem.
Now that he's gone, forget it.
Qin Xiangxiang was drying her hair while admiring the silver note she won today.
Three thousand strings! I never thought she could make so much money. Qin Xiangxiang smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed. Holding the banknote, I felt relieved. No wonder everyone wants to be rich, it feels so good to be rich!
The next morning, Qin Xiangxiang felt refreshed after being cured by Qian. After holding his nose and drinking the medicine, he threw an osmanthus candy into his mouth when Mrs. Wang wasn't paying attention.
Today she will take the salt certificate and go to the Salt Sales Department to redeem the salt.
She didn't let Hong Xiu follow her, but asked Uncle Ma to push the wheelbarrow, and they went to the Salt Solution Department leisurely, one old and one young.
As soon as I arrived near the Yanjie Division, I heard someone yelling angrily: "You are so unscrupulous, you will definitely be struck by lightning from the sky in the future!"
"Hey, if God has eyes, I'll hit you too." Someone stabbed, "Ganggun, don't get in the way here! We are the Salt Solution Department here, not the Charity Hall!"
When Qin Xiangxiang got closer, he saw a man lying on the ground. His bun was all messed up. The material of his clothes could be seen to be silk, but there were ugly stains on the clothes.
What a coincidence, the person who cursed at the Salt Solution Department was none other than Huang Gongshi.
Mr. Huang also saw Qin Xiangxiang: "Hey, Mr. Qin is here? Do you want to exchange salt? Sorry, our salt department has no salt at this time!"
Qin Xiangxiang looked at him and saw that he had really fallen and half of his face was scarred. He was not good-looking to begin with, and now he was even more ugly.
Qin Xiangxiang smiled: "Huang Gongshi fell so seriously that he didn't take leave to recuperate at home. It's really scary."
Huang Gongshi took a sip and looked directly behind Qin Xiangxiang, but did not see Hong Xiu.
His face darkened: "Mr. Qin, please don't get close to me. If it is found that the person who pushed me down is related to Mr. Qin... Mr. Qin's life may not be guaranteed."
