Pastoral little master

Chapter 170 Overreaction
PS: The first update, there are two more updates today! !
*********
Qiduo and the others don't know what happened at home.

After the market in Yutan Town was over, Tan Dejin drove the bullock cart and took Qiduo and Liuju to Yueke to deliver the goods.

After settling the accounts with Yue Kelai, the three hurried to Tonglin County.

Half of the 100 catties of water celery were sold, more than [-] catties of residual lotus root were sold out, and dozens of catties of bean sprouts were also sold for a few taels of silver.

Although they had collected hundreds of taels of silver at one time, Qiduo and the others still felt very satisfied looking at the broken silver and copper plates in their hands.

Money is the accumulation of one or two ounces. If you accumulate less, you will not have a gap in your heart, and look down on these small coins.

Tan Dejin sent Qiduo to Chunfeng Deyi Building, and he took Liuju to sell lotus root.

However, Qiduo suggested that they should not go to Jishang today, but go to various restaurants of all sizes in the county to try.

Qiduo first went to the food city to have a look, seeing people coming and going, it was very lively, so she was relieved, and then went to Xu Youxuan to make squirrel mandarin fish.

If she hadn't agreed to this, she wouldn't have come to Food City today.
Half an hour later, Xu Youxuan entered Mrs. Xu's room with fish in one hand and stew in the other.

"Grandpa, the squirrel mandarin fish is here." Xu Youxuan shouted with a smile.

Put the plate on the dining table, pour soup sweat on the fish body according to the method taught by Qiduo.

With the sound of 'Zi Zi', the rich fragrance overflowed the room.
Old Mrs. Xu, who was sitting next to him, smelled the fragrance and walked towards the dining table.

The lifelike and smart shape, the bright red color, and the tangy fragrance made Mrs. Xu's brows and eyes widen, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Well, okay, let me try it." Mrs. Xu nodded with a smile.

Seeing that his father was happy, Xu Shengkang was even happier. He took the chopsticks and handed them to Mrs. Xu, saying, "Father, this fish is beautifully cooked. If I didn't know in advance that it was made of mandarin fish, I wouldn't know what it is. "

"Well, it's not bad. Looking at it like this, I really can't bear to move my chopsticks. But, smelling the fragrance, the greedy worm in my stomach was hooked again. But I haven't eaten mandarin fish for some days, I'll try it .” Mrs. Xu started a joke of his own.

When he was in a good mood, his tone of voice naturally became relaxed and humorous.

Xu Youxuan and Xu Shengkang looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Then he looked at Mrs. Xu, hoping that he would nod.

Mrs. Xu took a piece of fish into his mouth. After tasting it carefully, his eyes lit up, and he kept nodding.

Then he said to Xu Shengkang and Xu Youxuan, "Come on, sit down and taste it too. Over the years, this is the best taste of mandarin fish. The fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It has the umami taste of fish but no fish The fishy smell. Well done well done!"

Xu Shengkang sat down after hearing the words, took a chopsticks to taste it, and was full of praise.

Seeing that both grandpa and father said the fish was well cooked, Xu Youxuan was the happiest.

When the fish was half eaten, Mrs. Xu remembered a crucial question. He raised his head and asked Xu Youxuan, "Xuan'er, which chef made this dish, call him over and say that I have a reward."

"Hehe, dad, who else can make such delicious fish, except Miss Seven." Xu Shengkang replied with a smile.

He looked at Old Master Xu seriously, hoping to catch some joy from his father's face or eyes.

However, he was disappointed.

Because the smile on Mrs. Xu's face suddenly disappeared, and her face was pulled down.

Old Mrs. Xu narrowed his eyes, suddenly raised his hand, and swept the half of mandarin fish and hairtail to the ground.

There were a few "crash" sounds, the plate broke into pieces, the fish was scattered, and the soup splashed everywhere.

Xu Shengkang was very annoyed, he shouldn't be too impatient.

He specially asked Qiduo to make mandarin fish, hoping that Mrs. Xu would enjoy eating happily, change her impression of Qiduo and recognize Qiduo.

If this trick is feasible, Qiduo will appear in front of Mrs. Xu in the future, so that Mrs. Xu can slowly dispel the resentment in his heart, be able to forgive Mrs. Xu, and allow the family to reunite.

But who would have expected Mrs. Xu's reaction to be so intense, it was beyond his expectation.

He originally thought that even if his father didn't want to hear names related to Xu's, at most he would not eat this fish.

Ugh!
Xu Shengkang sighed in his heart.

Old Mrs. Xu's hatred for the Xu family was far beyond Xu Shengkang's imagination. After more than ten years, this resentment has not disappeared but increased.

Xu Youxuan was even more shocked by his grandfather's reaction.

He didn't know Qiduo's identity yet, so he couldn't figure out why grandpa didn't like Qiduo so much, could it be that Qiduo had offended grandpa before.

"Get out, you all, a bunch of unworthy people." Old Master Xu shouted at his son and grandson.

"Yes." Xu Shengkang and Xu Youxuan didn't dare to say anything more, they hurriedly came out of the room obediently, and didn't even dare to clean up the debris on the ground.

There was another sound of smashing things in the house.

Hearing this, Xu Youxuan's heart trembled.

"Father, why did Grandpa react so violently when he heard Xiao Qi's name?" Xu Youxuan asked Xu Shengkang.

Xu Shengkang sighed and shook his head, "I'm surprised too. I'll ask when your grandfather is in a better mood later."

He didn't want to tell Xu Youxuan the truth, lest his son feel burdened, it would affect the cooperation with Qiduo, and further affect the business of the food city, that would be bad.

Naturally, Xu Youxuan would not doubt his father's words and nodded.

He hoped to know the reason earlier so that he could untie his grandpa's knot and let him accept Qiduo. Otherwise, he would keep thinking about it, worrying that grandpa would really not let him cooperate with Qiduo.

Although Mrs. Xu said at the beginning that the Food City would be managed by him alone, after all, all the money for the opening of the Food City was paid by Mr. Xu, and the Food City still belongs to Mr. Xu.
Xu Youxuan's heart was heavy.

It was a good thing, but it turned out like this, really... Sigh!

After Qiduo finished the squirrel mandarin fish, she left the food city, went to find Tan Dejin, and rushed back to Yutan Town to find Shen Huairen.

Tan Dejin and Liuju were waiting for Qiduo in front of the famous pastry shop in the county.

"Father, Second Sister, how is the lotus root?" Qiduo asked with a smile, and looked at the bamboo basket on the car, and found that the lotus root was a little less.

"Well, it's not bad. When we went to those restaurants and restaurants, they wanted to drive us away, but when they saw it was lotus root, they asked the price. They weighed each one, some were twenty catties, some were fifty catties, Even the water celery was sold." Liuju talked about the matter like an excited little magpie.

"That's good, let's go, let's go buy some snacks." Qiduo happily hugged Liuju's arm.

Tan Dejin watched the oxcart at the door, Qiduo and Liuju went to the dim sum shop, bought two boxes of Osmanthus cake Shen Nan loved to eat, and bought four boxes of other dim sum, ready to give to Han Hewen and Chen Bo, the gatekeeper.

These days, Uncle Chen gave us a lot of convenience, and Han Hewen helped pass the dishes every day, so I have to thank them very much.

The two shops next to the pastry shop happened to sell purses, so Qiduo hurriedly dragged Liuju in.

"Duo, what do you want to buy? Just tell me what you want, and I'll embroider one for you." Liuju picked up an embroidery handkerchief and looked at it, then put it down again, pouted, cut it, it's not as good as I embroidered .

"It's too late." Qiduo shook her head with a smile, and then chose a purse from Magpie Dengmei.

The magpie is an auspicious bird for good news, so it is more appropriate to send Shen Nan to him. I hope he will be admitted to the imperial examination and become a younger brother in the future.

Well, yes, that has a good meaning.

Qiduo was very satisfied with the purse she chose, handed it to the shopkeeper, asked the price, and paid.
"You want to give it away?" Liuju looked at Qiduo, blinked her eyes and smiled wickedly.

"Yes." Qiduo replied very calmly.

"Hey! I know, it must be given to Shen Nan." Liuju laughed even worse.

Qiduo was covered in goosebumps by her laughter, patted her arm lightly, and said, "Second Sister, why are you laughing? I bought it for him. He helped us last time, but he suffered like that." Great grievance, this is to express my gratitude, hum!"

"Yes, yes, to express my gratitude." Liuju hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, and each of them smiled sullenly, not saying anything else.
Silly sister, do you know what it means to give someone a boy's sachet?

Hey!

Liuju laughed loudly in her heart, she decided to go home and tell Erxia about it, and let Erxia follow along to have fun.

Qiduo didn't know why Liuju was laughing, so she put away the sachet and snacks and got on the ox cart.

Arriving at Huairen Academy, before arriving at Sishi, Qiduo knocked on the door of the academy with a smile while eating some snacks.

When Uncle Chen saw Qiduo, he was already very enthusiastic. After greeting each other, Qiduo handed him the snacks, and then said to look for Han Hewen and Shen Nan.

"Okay, just wait a moment." Uncle Chen took the snack with a smile, and hurriedly ran to call for someone.

After waiting for a while, Uncle Chen opened the door again, and Shen Nan in a blue robe appeared in the sight of Qiduo and Liuju.

However, Han Hewen was not seen.

After greeting Shen Nan, Qiduo looked around and asked, "Hey, why haven't you seen Han Hewen?"

"He can't come if he has something to do, so tell me the same thing." Shen Nan's black eyes lightly stared at Qiduo, and his tone was a little displeased.

Seeing him with his hands behind his back, Liuju wanted to laugh, and then she made an excuse and left.

Qiduo handed the snacks to Shen Nan, "Here, the two boxes of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes are for you, and the two boxes of walnut cakes are for Han Hewen, thank him for me."

Shen Nan took the snack and nodded, "Got it."

"By the way, the pouch you want is with the dim sum, see if you like it." Qi Duo said again.

"So fast?" Shen Nan was both surprised and delighted, a smile finally appeared on her tense face.

He looked down for his purse.

After taking out the purse, he took a closer look, and then looked at Qiduo.

Seeing his unhappy face, Qiduo quickly asked, "What's the matter, don't you like this style? Then what do you like, I'll buy another one later."

Shen Nan pursed her pink lips tightly, and handed the purse to Qiduo.

"There is no sincerity at all. There are such purses all over the street. If I like it, I might as well buy it myself. It's not that I don't have money." Shen Nan's voice was a little hard.

Qiduo was a little confused now.

What does this child mean? If you don't like this, what kind of thing do you like?

"But it's almost the same in other stores, what should I do?" Qiduo asked weakly, really defeated by him.

This child is not only awkward, but also difficult to serve.

Alas, who made me owe others favors, so I had to be careful.

"Hmph, can't you embroider one yourself?" Shen Nan snorted softly, and her snow-white ears suddenly turned into a beautiful pink.

Embroidered purse!
Qiduo is really confused, she doesn't know how to embroider!

"This is for you, I made it with my own hands, go in first." When Qi Duo was in a dilemma, Shen Nan quickly put something in her palm, and then quickly entered the academy.

She seemed to see a warm smile on his face.
