Pastoral little master

Chapter 159 The Attempt
Ah, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu want to see me?
I have never met them before, what do they want to see me for?
Qiduo was stunned for a moment, puzzled.

"Brother Xu, do they have anything to do with me?" she asked.

"No, grandpa and father learned that you have such superb cooking skills, and they appreciate them very much. They have long wanted to see you, but they have never had the chance." Xu Youxuan replied with a smile.

Qiduo nodded, didn't say anything more, and followed him to meet Mrs. Xu and the others.

During the short journey, Qiduo got a general understanding of the situation of Xu Youxuan's family.

It turned out that the Xu family not only had a restaurant, but also ran a cloth shop and a pawn shop. There was also a wine shop in the house, and the wine sold by Chunfeng Deyi Building came from its own wine shop.

Most of these industries are in Wangsong County, and the Xu family only started to develop their business in Tonglin County in the past two years.

Mr. Xu handed over these properties to his sons and grandchildren according to each person's ability, and he was the supervisor.

Youxuan's father is the eldest son of Mrs. Xu, and is mainly responsible for the management of Chunfeng Deyi Building.

While speaking, Xu Youxuan had brought Qiduo to the front of a two-story delicate building, and the two of them entered the middle room.

"Grandpa, father, Brother Xiaoqi is here." Xu Youxuan called out warmly as soon as he entered the room.

The sound is very pleasant.

In his eyes, Qiduo is the pillar of the gourmet city, and with her, the food city can have a prosperous business.

He also especially hoped that Mrs. Xu and his son would pay attention to Qiduo. This was not only an approval of Qiduo, but an indirect recognition of him.

Because Qiduo was dug by himself.

"Xiaoqi, this is my grandfather and father." Xu Youxuan hastily introduced to Qiduo again.

Only then did Qiduo stand still, and looked up in the direction of Xu Youxuan's finger.

I saw two men sitting on the left and right beside the black lacquered Peng Ya square table. The one on the right was about [-] years old, white and fat, with a red face, very well maintained, wearing five jade silk robes with bright red background holding birthday flowers .

It's a pity that although he was born rich, he has a serious face, his eyes are sharper, and there is even a cold light in them.

As soon as Qiduo entered the room, she felt this sharp gaze staring at her, as if trying to see through her.

This made her a little uncomfortable, and she resented the feeling.

Judging by her age, she guessed that this should be Mrs. Xu.

The forty-year-old man on the left should be Xu Youxuan's father, with a white face and short beard, full of smiles, very kind and friendly, Xu Youxuan looks very much like him.

"I've seen Mrs. Xu, Mr. Xu." Qiduo greeted the two with bowed head respectfully, and said warmly.

"Small seven, don't be too polite, please sit down and talk." Xu Youxuan's father, Xu Shengkang, raised his hand very friendly.

Mrs. Xu did not speak.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu should call you Xiaoqi." Qiduo nodded again, and then sat down on the lower seat.

Xu Youxuan sat next to her.

Xu Shengkang smiled and continued, "Brother Xiaoqi, I heard from Youxuan that you have helped our Chunfeng Deyi Building a lot, and you came up with many good ideas for this food city. Here, I thank you in advance. "

"Master Xu is too polite. In fact, Master Xu is in charge of everything. The little one is just doing his little bit on the sidelines." Qi Duo replied very modestly and cautiously.

She really didn't understand the real purpose of the two masters of the Xu family calling her here, if she didn't believe it, it was just to say a few polite words.

Old Mrs. Xu's two sharp eyes kept drifting towards him, which made people's hearts pound.

Old man, I didn't offend you, and I didn't have any bad intentions towards you Chunfeng Deyilou, so don't look at me like that.

"Xiao Qi, don't be modest, I have told your grandpa and father truthfully about your abilities, and they all know it well." Xu Youxuan said to Qi Duo with a smile.

However, he was also a little puzzled by Mrs. Xu's attitude.

It was Mrs. Xu who proposed to see Qiduo. Why did this man come, but the old man didn't say a word? What kind of medicine can be sold in this gourd?
Qiduo looked at Xu Youxuan and smiled, but said nothing.

Xu Shengkang turned his head slightly and looked at Mrs. Xu. Seeing that his face was still serious, he pursed his lips slightly.

"Brother Xiaoqi, you have such extraordinary cooking skills at such a young age. You are really a rare talent. In the future, I hope that Brother Xiaoqi can teach you everything and help Youxuan a lot." Xu Shengkang had no choice but to say nothing. Continue to find something to say.

"Master Xu has won the award. The younger one is just lucky, and he is naturally sensitive to food, so he was lucky enough to learn this cooking skill. Besides, helping Xu Shaodong's family is also helping myself, and it is my duty." Qi Duo Respond with a smile.

Xu Shengkang nodded with a smile, "Okay, okay, I heard from Youxuan that your culinary skills are passed down from the elders in your family. This elder is really a god. It's just a pity that you can't see his old man's beauty, otherwise, you can It’s one of life’s great blessings.”

"Hehe, yes, the old man said that when he was young, he traveled too many places and was tired. Now he should rest well and not go out to meet friends anymore." Qi Duo replied.

Xu Shengkang found another topic about Sichuan cuisine and chatted with Qiduo.

Qi Duo's knowledge and insights made Xu Shengkang's eyes shine.

Sure enough, he is a very smart kid, which is rare.

He secretly said in his heart.

"What's your name?" The silent old man Xu finally spoke.

It's just that the tone is a little blunt.

Xu Shengkang secretly heaved a sigh of relief, Dad, your old man has finally spoken, son, I am almost at the end of words.

Qiduo was a little displeased with Mrs. Xu's blunt and superior attitude.

Although you are an elder, although your family is rich, but now Xu Youxuan and I are partners, relying on each other, not just me relying on your Xu family, why speak like a prisoner.

She was more willing to talk to Xu Shengkang, relaxed and unrestrained.

But no matter how unhappy she was, she had to answer when someone asked her.

"Go back to Mrs. Xu, and Tan Qiduo." Qiduo met Mrs. Xu's sharp eyes and said seriously.

The attitude is neither humble nor overbearing, and the tone is calm and calm.

If she was still afraid of the majesty of Mrs. Xu when she first entered the house, then now, she is not afraid anymore.

His condescending attitude, on the contrary, aroused the pride in her heart.

Although I come from no nobler background than you, I, like you, rely on my own ability to make money, so why should I be inferior to you.

You have your advantages, but I also have my advantages, you will probably have many I will not.But I will, and you will also have a lot of inability. We are equal to each other, no one is worse than the other, hum!

If Mrs. Xu was like Xu Shengkang, and spoke in a particularly gentle and friendly tone, Qiduo would definitely answer softly.

It is Qiduo's instinct to be strong when she is strong, and she had such a character in her previous life.

The sharpness in Old Master Xu's eyes became sharper, and he asked again, "Since you are a girl, why do you want to dress up as a man? What is your intention and purpose, eh?"

He patted the table.

What, Qiduo is a girl?

Xu Youxuan's eyes widened and he looked at Qiduo with disbelief written all over his face.

Xu Shengkang was slightly surprised, but he didn't pay attention.

Qiduo was shocked in her heart. She has always been quite confident in her ability to disguise herself as a man. Unless it is someone who is very familiar with herself, it is impossible for ordinary people to easily discover her true identity.

But Mrs. Xu, who was completely unfamiliar to him, saw through it, and had to admire his vicious eyes. At the same time, he also thought that his skills in dressing up as men were not perfect enough, and he had to practice hard when he returned home.

However, she didn't pretend to be a man to deceive anyone, it was just for convenience.

Therefore, Qiduo was not afraid when her true identity was revealed.

She calmly nodded to Mrs. Xu, and said in her original voice, "Mr. Xu, you are right, I am indeed a girl. However, I don't pretend to be a man to deceive people, but to act convenient.

Mr. Xu, you and Mr. Xu are both well-informed and have crossed more bridges than I have traveled. Of course, I know that it is inconvenient for girls to work outside. In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, I can only come up with this bad policy.

Mrs. Xu, you are a sensible person, you will not blame me for such a trivial matter, will you? "

Hearing Qiduo's frank admission of her daughter's identity, the three people in the room were stunned.

Old Mrs. Xu and Xu Shengkang thought that since Qiduo was disguised as a man, there must be something unspeakable hidden, and they would definitely try their best to deny it.I didn't expect her to admit it so frankly, calmly and calmly, it didn't seem like she was telling a lie.

Especially Mrs. Xu, who really wanted to use this excuse to scold Qiduo.

But Qiduo's last sentence made him embarrassed to scold him.

If he scolds, doesn't that mean he is an unreasonable person?
Xu Youxuan was surprised that Qiduo was really a girl, it was a pity that he had been dealing with her for so long, but he didn't realize it all the time, he was so stupid.

Now he finally understood why Qiduo didn't let him call him Seventh Brother.

Thinking about it, his face turned red, embarrassing.

"Brother Xu, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Qi Duo said softly to Xu Youxuan.

Xu Youxuan smiled and waved his hands, "It's okay, it's okay."

Xu Shengkang also said gently, "Miss Seven, what you said is very reasonable. It is indeed not as convenient for a daughter to go out to work as a man. You are very considerate. I never thought that a little girl would have such courage and courage. It’s really rare to meet.”

"Thank you Master Xu for understanding." Qiduo smiled embarrassedly.

Xu Shengkang was polite, but Mrs. Xu didn't have such a good face. He snorted, "Hmph, the little girl is not very old, but she has a sharp tongue. Girl, where do you live, and who are your parents' names?"

Qiduo frowned, and glanced at Xu Youxuan.

I thought, could it be that he wants to check the household registration?

Xu Youxuan looked at her and blinked her eyes lightly, with an apologetic expression on her face. He also thought that grandpa and father called Qiduo to have something important to say, who would have asked these questions.

"Grandpa." Xu Youxuan hurriedly looked at Mrs. Xu, implying that this question should not be asked.

But Mrs. Xu didn't seem to see Xu Youxuan, he just looked at Qiduo and said, "Little girl, you are doing business with Youxuan, of course we have to ask you for details."

This excuse is also valid.

Qiduo thought to herself.

Suddenly, her heart moved, her father and mother had always kept a secret about Chunfeng Deyilou, and they couldn't find out the secrets. Why don't you take this opportunity to see the attitude of Mrs. Xu and the others.

Of course, because of Mrs. Xu's instructions, she couldn't tell the truth.

"My family lives in Tanjiazhuang under Yutan Town." Qiduo said, paying attention to the reactions of Old Master Xu and Xu Shengkang.

As expected, both of them had strange expressions on their faces.
