Master Xu smiled when he saw the woman and said, "Xin'er, are you here?"
This pretty and elegant girl is Xu Shuxin. She studied under Xingzhengyuan, and the dishes she learned included not only dishes such as dragon liver and phoenix marrow, but also some exquisite pastries.
After returning from school this time, Xu Shuxin wants to open a pastry shop of her own in Ping'an Township.
Xu Shuxin bowed deeply to her uncle and said, "I've met you before." Then she added, "Is the person my uncle mentioned just now Sheng Guo'er?"
Mr. Xu nodded and said: "Yes, this is the woman. She has many tricks. She killed your uncle, the township security chief! Today, we have to do the Ti Ling Li Zheng, how can this be possible!"
Xu Shuxin felt sad after hearing this, but she also knew what kind of person this uncle the township security chief was, so she could only say: "Uncle the township security chief, although evil deeds are rewarded, but Sheng Guoer's methods are indeed too vicious! "Then, she added: "Besides, she, a woman, actually wants to be a tie-breaker?"
Qili Gong said sadly: "Since ancient times, there has been no reason for women to be officials!"
Although Xu Shuxin was speechless, she actually agreed with Sheng Guoer from deep in her heart.
In Xingzhengyuan, Xu Shuxin was not qualified to work on the kitchen stove. It was through her hard work that she won the recognition of her senior brothers and got a kitchen position. Therefore, she was very dissatisfied with this unfair treatment.
Now that she met Sheng Guoer who was in the same situation, Xu Shuxin really wanted to see her.
Seeing that his niece was in a daze, Mr. Xu asked, "Xin'er, what are you thinking about?"
Xu Shuxin said: "Nothing!"
Lord Xu ordered: "Xin'er, there is going to be a sacrificial ceremony soon. Lord Futai will be here in person. I have already agreed to the invitation from Li Zheng of Xifeng Village. You will be responsible for the food and drinks for the sacrificial ceremony in Xifeng Village. Naturally, Dongxiang Village Sheng Guoer is responsible, you must defeat her!"
Xu Shuxin paused and said, "My uncle has ordered the child to obey. However, the child is a little tired and wants to take a rest first."
Master Xu nodded and said: "Go, have a good rest and recharge your batteries. As long as we defeat Sheng Guoer, our Xu family will have made a great contribution. Right, three elders!"
The three elders said in unison: "Yes, we will recommend all of you Xu family members to become masters when the time comes."
Master Xu said with high spirits: "You heard it, Xin'er, work hard!"
Xu Shuxin nodded, turned and left.
After leaving the house, Xu Shuxin called her maid Shui Bi: "Shui Bi, go help me make an appointment with Sheng Guo'er."
Shuibi nodded and turned around to go to Dongxiang Village.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the time when the sacrificial ceremony begins. It lasts for three days. The East and West villages each show their abilities. Mr. Futai came to the scene to see the sacrificial ceremony of each village.
Therefore, Sheng Guoer is currently discussing the sacrificial ceremony with Uncle Li Zheng.
Sheng Guoer plans to turn this grand ceremony into an agricultural products trade fair, mainly to promote weeding machines and greenhouse technology. Sheng Guoer plans to not only exchange these technologies for money, but also open a franchise to use greenhouse technology and pesticide technology. Attracting neighboring villages to become a powerful raw material processing site for Dongxiang Village, and then establishing a vegetable and fruit wholesale market in Majiagangzi, this not only solves the problem of Dongxiang Village's lack of funds to develop agriculture, but also drives other development of the village.
At the same time, each village has its own specialties. Taking this opportunity, Sheng Guoer can also discover some new business opportunities.
Uncle Li said: "The most important thing right now is how to prepare for this sacrificial ceremony. According to the usual specifications, there is no way for us to compete with Xifeng Village."
Sheng Guoer thought to herself that she didn't want to compete with Xifeng Village in the first place. If she really offended Meng Zhengtang, how could she meet him in the future?
However, whether Dongxiang Village can develop successfully also determines whether Sheng Guoer's status can be elevated from a pariah to a middle-class status.
The status of this person in the Dasheng Dynasty enjoys much better treatment than that of a pariah, which at least allows Sheng Shi and Xiao Tao to participate in higher-level selections.
At the same time, he will not look humble when getting along with the Meng family in the future.
Therefore, in order to achieve development and take Meng Zhengtang's face into consideration, Sheng Guoer thought about it and suddenly came up with a magical idea.
She asked: "Uncle Li, hasn't Xifeng Village always been dominated by the performances of sacrificial ceremonies? Why don't we do the opposite and integrate their performances into our publicity, so that the sacrificial ceremonies of the two villages It’s not a competition anymore, it’s a grand event held together!”
Uncle Li stroked his beard and said, "That's good, but is Meng Zhengtang willing to be our foil?"
Sheng Guoer smiled and said: "It's just a personal idea whether to be a foil or not. As long as Uncle Meng thinks that we are their foils, it will be fine. What we want is real development, what Uncle Meng wants is a false reputation, and everyone can take what he wants." It’s just necessary, why take it seriously?”
Uncle Li thought for a moment, patted his thigh and said, "Guo'er, you still have a bright mind!"
Sheng Guoer stood up and said, "I'm going to Xifeng Village right now to convey our wishes. Mr. Meng will help us."
Uncle Li smiled meaningfully: "That's right, that's right, you will become the Meng family's daughter-in-law soon!"
Uncle Li is also very smart. The reason why he promoted Sheng Guoer to the rank of leader is that Sheng Guoer is indeed talented, and secondly, the whole village knows about Sheng Guoer's relationship with Meng Xingzhou. If Sheng Guoer My son married to Xifeng Village, which brought shame to Dongxiang Village. Xifeng Village, which has always looked down on Dongxiang Village, now wants to marry a woman from Dongxiang Village with three matchmakers and six betrothals. This is tantamount to beating the ancestors of Xifeng Village. s face.
But Uncle Li thinks dreams are good, but can Sheng Guoer have the ability to reconcile the relationship between the two parties?
You must know that Meng Zhengtang has always followed the old teachings and has always looked down on Dongxiang Village.
But Sheng Guoer and Uncle Li have different ideas. As long as they are strong enough and can be recognized by the superiors, which will give Meng Zhengtang enough face, even if their identities are different, Meng Zhengtang has to consider whether his future development can surpass Dongxiang Village.
Therefore, Sheng Guoer felt that it was now time to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger.
So, Sheng Guoer took the lawn mower, and Tieniu drove Sheng Guoer to Xifeng Village in person.
"Master, Miss Sheng is here!" Yan Zhi trotted to the study and said breathlessly to Meng Xingzhou, "Miss Sheng is here to see you!"
Meng Xingzhou hurriedly put down the book and walked out quickly. When he saw Sheng Guoer, a warm smile appeared on his face.
Sheng Guoer stepped forward quickly, and Meng Xingzhou went up to meet her, took Sheng Guoer's hand and said, "Guoer, why are you here? Do you miss me?"
Sheng Guoer rolled her eyes at Meng Xingzhou and said, "I didn't come just because I missed you, I have business to attend to!"
Meng Xingzhou coughed and said, "Okay, what's important, Boss Sheng?"
Sheng Guoer said coquettishly: "You know how to speak glibly. I'm here to ask you to pass a message to your father."
Meng Xingzhou said, "Can't you just go and see dad yourself?"
Sheng Guoer blushed and said, "Don't be ashamed, who is the father!"
Meng Xingzhou smiled and said, "What do you think?"
Sheng Guoer patted Meng Xingzhou and said: "Stop making trouble, I really have something serious to do. Tell your father that our Dongxiang Village will be his foil this time. Your father and the others will do everything first, and then we will do our work." The sacrificial ceremony. What do you think?"
Meng Xingzhou knew that his little Fu Bao was a ghost and would definitely not engage in a loss-making business, so he said, "I think you want to attract others and let my father be your foil!"
Sheng Guoer smiled and said, "Oh, you're quite smart, but you only guessed half of it right. I'm not that sinister. I just want a win-win situation."
"What is win-win?" Meng Xingzhou asked curiously.
"Look what this is!" Sheng Guoer asked Tieniu to take the lawnmower off the carriage.
"I recognize it. Isn't this your lawnmower?" Meng Xingzhou was a little confused as to why Sheng Guoer brought the lawnmower.
Sheng Guoer said: "The function of my weeder has been enhanced. It can not only remove weeds, but also help with harvesting. In addition, I plan to spread greenhouse technology widely. In this way, not only Xifeng Village and several neighboring villages can Have you eaten vegetables in winter? In this way, we are cooperating."
Meng Xingzhou pondered: "This is a good thing. If it can be popularized, we can harvest a lot of fresh vegetables in winter and supply them to other neighboring counties. In this way, the two villages in the east and west will form a large Market, a market specializing in fresh vegetables.”
Sheng Guoer felt that Meng Xingzhou really understood her thoughts, but she deliberately asked: "Then tell me, if there is such a market, where should we choose it?"
Meng Xingzhou paced and muttered: "We should choose Majiagangzi. First, there are many casual workers here. Second, it is well connected in all directions. Third, the land price here is very cheap. If we can gather several other villages to carry out vegetable farming here, The planting and processing will definitely be effective!”
Sheng Guoer said: "Yes, yes, Mr. Meng is really talented and knows how to do business!"
Meng Xingzhou smiled and said, "If it weren't for your amazing idea, how could I have had such an idea!"
Sheng Guoer smiled and said: "Okay, don't be poor, tell your father clearly, tell him that I don't want to compete, I just want the two families to join forces, and let the master of Futai report to the master of the county to give us more money. "
Meng Xingzhou smiled and said: "Don't worry, this is a good thing, I will try my best to promote it!" After saying that, Meng Xingzhou excitedly turned around to find Meng Zhengtang.
Sheng Guoer shouted: "Hey, it's done. Go to Dongxiang Village to find me. I'm going back first! I'll leave the lawnmower here for you!"
Meng Xingzhou stopped and turned around, nodded, and then went to the main hall.
As soon as Sheng Guoer left the Meng Mansion, she saw a pretty little maid coming up to her and asked out of breath, "Are you Sheng Guoer?"
Sheng Guoer nodded and said, "Yes, do we know each other?"
The little maid said: "Hello..."
Yan Pheasant saw the little maid and said, "Shui Bi, why are you here?"
Sheng Guoer asked: "Yan Pheasant, do you know her?"
Yan Pheasant said: "Of course, she is the maid of the chef of the Xifeng Village Sacrifice Ceremony."
Shui Bi said: "Miss Sheng, I went to Dongxiang Village to find you. They said you came to Meng Mansion in Xifeng Village. Oops, I'm exhausted!"
Sheng Guoer nodded and asked, "Miss Shuibi, what do you want from me?"
Shui Bi said: "Our lady would like to invite you to come over and talk about old times. Our lady's surname is Xu. She is the chef of this Xifeng Village sacrificial ceremony banquet!"
Sheng Guoer thought about it and said that since there is full cooperation, every aspect must be coordinated. Now that people have come to the door, it's better to go and see what's going on.
So Sheng Guoer said: "Okay, in that case, I will go see Miss Xu."
The group of people took a carriage and arrived at an exquisite courtyard. Although this small courtyard was not big, it had the charm of a Jiangnan water town.
"The decoration here is elegant and elegant, with a Jiangnan charm!" Sheng Guoer couldn't help but praise.
"Miss Sheng's reputation is well-deserved. She is indeed well-informed and tasteful. Our young lady is a disciple of a famous chef in northern Sichuan. She also grew up in the south of the Yangtze River. So when she arrived here, the Meng family built this villa according to the young lady's preferences. Courtyard." Shui Bi proudly introduced while taking Sheng Guoer to the main hall.
As soon as they entered the main hall, they saw a young girl dressed elegantly and said to Sheng Guoer with a smile on her face: "So you are Miss Sheng. I have admired you for a long time. I am so relieved."
When Sheng Guoer saw Xu Shuxin for the first time, she felt that this girl's eyes were very clear, and she had a fairy spirit, and she was also kind despite her coldness. The ladylike temperament of everyone is clearly visible.
Sheng Guoer also returned the gift politely.
After the two sat down respectively, Xu Shuxin poured tea for Sheng Guoer with a smile. While pouring the tea, she said with a smile: "Miss Sheng, I heard that you relied on Hong Shiqing's power to severely punish the township security chief and Wang Banxian, and eliminate the evil for the people." harmed?"
Sheng Guoer said: "You are polite, it is because the government is aware of everything."
At this moment, Xu Shuxin's eyes suddenly became sharp and she said with a smile: "That township security chief is my uncle!"
Sheng Guoer was shocked when she heard this, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
