Su Qingluan was brainstorming just now and didn't notice what his mother-in-law said. Suddenly hearing such a sentence, she quickly looked up, only to find that Yang used a... How should I describe it? pity? Pity? Feeling distressed? In short, he didn't look at himself with a happy expression.
Su Qingluan felt a little sick in her stomach when she saw Yang's expression.
Although she doesn't know what Yang's specific brain circuit is, Su Qingluan is basically certain that Yang must have imagined some incredible plot - otherwise, what is the meaning of her eyes looking at the miserable little white flower heroine? How To?
Su Qingluan silently swallowed all the explanations and threw the matter to the other party in a very ostrich manner - anyway, since Mu Xingzhi needs her as a tool for getting married, he will definitely find a way to solve this matter." "Marriage" itself brings about various problems, including the reasons for getting married.
So Su Qingluan said "Mom, I'll go back to my room to rest" and ran away. In Yang's opinion, this reaction meant that she was upset, but she was too shy to speak or didn't know how to explain, so she ran away. .
Then Yang, who thought she had "discovered the truth", was a little distracted all afternoon.
But during the day, the children were around, so it was not appropriate to talk about the eldest daughter's "little thoughts". Only at night, when the younger daughter was finally coaxed to sleep, and Su Guangfu was asked to go outside to see his son and the eldest daughter's lights went out, the couple finally got married. The two of them were lying in bed together, talking quietly.
"Daya is thinking about Mr. Mu?" Su Guangfu looked at Yang, "Didn't she say before that she was just helping?"
"What is our daughter's temperament like, and you still haven't figured it out after all this time?" Yang gently elbowed Su Guangfu, "Although our eldest daughter is kind-hearted, she is not the kind of person who behaves badly. Where can two people be together at once? This is the first time you run to someone’s house just to help them?”
Of course, it is not that Su Qingluan has never helped others "for free", but those are usually short-lived and unexpected things. For a long-term "help" like going to Mu Xing's House, Yang and Su Guangfu still only saw this one.
"But it's not like Mr. Mu is without any reward - didn't he also lend us a lot of books to read?"
"Mr. Mu also lent books to the young men in the village to read. Do you think these people have been going around every once in a while to give people food and drink?"
"Then the Liu family is also..."
"How much have the Liu family helped us?" Mrs. Yang rolled her eyes at her husband, "Not to mention that every time our family has any big or small issues, the Liu family is always at the front. Let's just say how many times our tailor shop has encountered gangsters. When scoundrels cause trouble, aren’t they all helped by the Liu family?”
If Su Qingluan heard his parents talking about Mu Xingzhi like this, he would definitely laugh and cry and say: The matter where Mu Xingzhi helped was more serious and left no trace.
In fact, Su Qingluan had noticed Mu Xingzhi's unusual identity a long time ago, but what really made her feel this "unusual" thing was Mu Xingzhi's ability to ensure that she and the Su family could live in peace and stability. Living in Huaxi Village does not attract any attention.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, this is unreasonable. Regardless of whether Su Qingluan had that plan or not, the person behind the "jam craze" that started in the capital, the north, and the wealthy south was bound to attract the attention of others.
What's more, as the reputation of "Hongfulou"'s various dishes has spread far and wide, although shopkeeper Liang stopped us, we will not deliberately publicize it, but Su Qingluan has never hidden his whereabouts, so as long as we have certain means, everyone can More or less, you can find out who those menus ultimately came from.
The richer a wealthy family is, the less likely they are to have gourmets who pursue the ultimate tongue-in-cheek enjoyment. Especially for those with big families and big businesses, ordinary delicacies can no longer satisfy their taste buds. Therefore, whenever there is a new "born" chef with excellent cooking skills, they will definitely come to see what's going on out of curiosity or deliberately embarrassing ideas. .
And as far as Su Qingluan knew, even Xu Yuanwei, a tall and middle-aged man, was poached several times because he was really good at stewing meat, but he didn't want to move, and the other party's attitude was not the same. He is tough, so Xu Yuanwei has been in Hongfu Tower so far.
But as the real shopkeeper and "technical staff" behind "Su Ji", Su Qingluan has never encountered this kind of "poaching". Not only that, Su Qingluan only recently realized that although his "business journey" was not a smooth journey, it could be regarded as having minor twists and turns, but the overall direction was stable.
No malicious people came to smash and rob her, no asking for "protection money", no strange people came to "invite" her to a certain house to "be a guest"...
Although it is not that there has been malicious competition, the kind of "impulse" method that simply relies on poor imitation and low-price promotions does not constitute a threat at all in Su Qingluan's view - after all, whether it is Hongfu Tower or " "Su Ji", the initial selling point is not the benefits but the taste.
Since I went there based on the "taste", I was naturally not short of money, so even if the price of the roll was higher than that of other companies, I could only gain a temporary and not particularly obvious advantage.
As long as she doesn't play dirty tricks, Su Qingluan thinks it won't be a problem - not to mention if there is a store that really beats her in terms of taste, she won't be dissatisfied and will just learn it immediately. After all, cooking skills There is no end to learning.
When Su Qingluan realized this problem, she once made some insinuations - of course it was straight to the point with Mu Xingzhi - and asked Mu Xingzhi if she was the one he had used in secret.
Mu Xingzhi did not answer directly at that time, but asked her: "Isn't this kind of peaceful life what Qingluan wants?"
Su Qingluan admired this man so much at that time: If she hadn't noticed that something was wrong and took the initiative to ask, would this guy have just silently done good things?
With this in mind, Su Qingluan asked. Unexpectedly, Mu Xingzhi was very surprised: "Isn't our cooperation treaty from the beginning to ensure that you and your family can live peacefully?"
...That's what happened, but Su Qingluan really didn't expect that the so-called "protection" was so comprehensive and thoughtful at the time.
In short, this was a private transaction between the two, and Yang and Su Guangfu naturally had no way of knowing. So from the perspective of these two people, the daughter who had always been shrewd became a hot-headed one in Mu Xingzhi's case.
Su Guangfu sighed: "Although Mr. Mu is weak in body, he is still a scholar. Although our girl is not bad, but in our family... it would be great if the second strong man was an older brother." He is an older brother, and he is at least sixteen or seventeen years old now. , even if you don’t pass the exam for this or that, at least you have a reputation that can support the girl!
Ms. Yang was also worried: "Now that we haven't even written a single word about our character, our girl is just being so disrespectful. This is like being eaten to death, and we have to suffer a loss!"
Time passed slowly as the parents were worried about each other, and then one day about half a month later, something happened that shocked the two of them - Mu Xingzhi asked a matchmaker to come to propose marriage!
