Escape from the desert with aura: I am the only native in the whole family

Chapter 553

Cai Lihua put the lid on the pot, wiped her hands, and said, "It's the Mrs. Xue who praised the deliciousness of my dishes."

Ah Jiu took a deep breath, and suddenly became enlightened.

She is the legendary Concubine Chang, a woman who understands the art of war and governs with foresight.

Seeing his daughter surprised, Meng Shaode squeezed his hands in front of the stove and added:

"I really didn't expect that the eldest sister had a good idea. At that time, too many businessmen came. Ma Peng blocked people outside the city, saying that you told me that he was afraid that they were officers and soldiers from outside, so he dared not let them go. It happened that Xue The madam came to the house to look for you and asked if you had come back, but she didn't expect to encounter this, so she paid attention to your mother and me.

No matter how stupid your mother and I are, we learned how to do it, so we talked with those businessmen one by one for an entire afternoon, and this matter was carried out, and the common people were quite happy. "

Ah Jiu was thoughtful, and she helped a lot indirectly.

"It seems that there are more than that. What did Mrs. Xue tell you at the end?" Cai Lihua thoughtfully while clutching the spoon.

"Look at your memory." Meng Shaode had an opinion: "Mrs. Xue said that merchants who want to live in Menghua City have to follow the rules of the firm. Since they apply for business, they cannot occupy the land. Merchants and farmers must be separated before they can communicate. balanced."

"That's right, that's right." Cai Lihua lifted the lid of the pot and put the dumplings into the pot: "Put this grate first, and then put it down when there is not enough food."

Ah Jiu was thoughtful, Mrs. Xue's analysis was right.

As soon as a large plate of dumplings for each person was brought to the table, Hua Ling brought Mrs. Xue over.

Cai Lihua was overjoyed: "Mrs. Xue, please sit down, last time you praised my dishes as delicious, this time try the dumplings."

Mrs. Xue saluted elegantly: "Thank you Mrs. Meng for your hospitality."

"You're welcome, now the big guys have all left their hometowns and finally settled down. No, it's a small year, and on the day of reunion, it's appropriate for us to get together to celebrate and celebrate."

The last time Cai Lihua was so happy that she burst her mouth to the ears, but this time she was even more enthusiastic. She just waited for Madam Xue to taste it and then praised again.

"Mother, the dumplings you made are simply the best in the world, but you can't stare at others like that." Ah Jiu was amused by her mother's appearance.

"You eat yours." Cai Lihua likes to be praised by people who have never eaten her dishes.

Until Mrs. Xue ate a mutton dumpling slowly and said with joy in her eyes: "It's delicious, it's really delicious."

Only then did Cai Lihua let her go: "Eat more if it tastes good, Alan, you eat too, you are always a guest when you come, if you can't finish the big plate of flower bells, don't sleep."

After yelling at people, he moved his chopsticks in satisfaction.

When she was almost done eating, Madam Xue put down her chopsticks and said, "Why didn't you see Xue Zhen?"

"He, he's dead in the house." Hua Ling angrily stuffed a dumpling into her mouth.

"Dead... dead?" Madam Xue's face turned pale instantly.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ah Jiu glanced at Hua Ling: "Sometimes he really can't hear anyone calling him when he's meditating in the room."

"Is that so..." Mrs. Xue suddenly felt tasteless.

Ah Jiu could tell that Mrs. Xue didn't come here for the New Year's dinner at all, she came here specifically to find Xue Zhen.

It's strange to say that Ah Jiu told him to go see Mrs. Xue when he returned to the city the day before yesterday, but he didn't expect to see Mrs. Xue for the past three days.

He couldn't be avoiding Mrs. Xue on purpose.

Forget it, let's talk when we are full.

Sure enough, Xue Zhen didn't show up until the tea was finished after the meal.

Mrs. Xue took this opportunity to talk about her plan for the management of merchants in Menghua City:
"In terms of rent, it is easy to handle. It will be exempt from rent for the first three months. This will not only attract more businessmen to settle in, but also promote the development of Menghua City. It will not be inferior to Kyoto City in the future, but it is best to choose a capable person. Specially responsible."

Ah Jiu's eyes lit up when he heard that, this is a good idea: "Well, Mrs. Xie Xue made a point, when the time comes, the house and real estate will be allocated according to the number of people, and the sales and leases are all in charge of tax payment. It's a way to get the best of both worlds."

Madam Xue glanced at the sky outside, and frowned:
"It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first, and I'll call on you another day."

After seeing Mrs. Xue off, Ah Jiu slapped Xue Zhen's door open as soon as he came back.

This time, the door opened all of a sudden, and Xue Zhen asked calmly, "Going away?"

"Are you really avoiding her on purpose?" Ah Jiu's eyes widened.
