small farm girl in pastoral space

Chapter 17
"Qingzhu, go and ask shopkeeper Wu to come."

The boy named Qingzhu responded and hurried downstairs.Shopkeeper Wu was busy. He heard that someone was looking for him, and he saw that the other party was a servant. He knew that the person upstairs must have an unusual identity.

Qingzhu invited people in and guarded outside the door politely.Shopkeeper Wu took a look at the other party. He wore a blue shirt with a smile on his face. Although he was dressed in a low-key manner, he had an extraordinary demeanor.

"I don't know this young master's name?"

The other party didn't put on airs either, and replied directly: "I'm next, Tong Hao."

Shopkeeper Wu naturally had heard of his name, and immediately saluted him: "It turns out that it is Mr. Tong. I have lost my way, so please don't blame me."

Tong Hao picked up the teacup in hand, took a sip and said, "Shopkeeper Wu, you're being polite." Wu Gui'en didn't continue when he saw him, so naturally he couldn't answer the conversation, and the atmosphere in the room was a bit awkward for a while.

"Shopkeeper Wu Xiangju is very lively this day, and it is not inferior to Juxian Building." Juxian Building is a restaurant opened by the Tong family, and it is well known in Beizhao Kingdom.

Shopkeeper Wu even said that he didn't dare: "It's just a small business, how can it compare to the Juxian Building run by Mr. Tong himself?"

Tong Hao got up and walked in front of him: "It was not as good as it used to be, but it will be uncertain in the future."

Shopkeeper Wu turned his head, not daring to look directly into his eyes.He was extremely nervous, afraid that he would offend this great god by saying something wrong.Seeing this, Tong Hao smiled lightly: "The few new dishes researched by shopkeeper Wu are delicious. I heard that they are made with a new ingredient?"

"Exactly, it's made from a fruit called tomato."

"Oh? I wonder if I will be lucky enough to meet this tomato?"

How could shopkeeper Wu say no?Immediately ordered Xiaoer to wash a plate of tomatoes from the kitchen and serve it.

It is indeed the first time for Tong Hao to see tomatoes. Although shopkeeper Wu said that tomatoes can be eaten directly, he didn't do anything, but suddenly asked: "Top shopkeeper Wu wrote a letter before and wanted to cooperate with my Tong family, but in the end he changed. Thoughts, I wonder why?"

Shopkeeper Wu felt a little uneasy. He clearly explained everything in his reply letter, but what was Tong Hao's intention of asking?

"This..." He hesitated for a while, and suddenly he was enlightened: "Young Master Tong, forgive me, it is my honor to cooperate with the Tong family, but I can't help but decide on this matter."

Tong Hao looked at him and motioned him to continue.

"Young Master must know that I originally wanted to cooperate with Tong's family in the fruit business, but the seller who planted the fruit rejected the matter." Shopkeeper Wu did not continue to explain the reason, he thought that the other party must have inquired about the internal cause.

"I would like to meet this person who can refuse the cooperation with Tong's family!" After talking for a long time, he finally got down to business, and shopkeeper Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's simple, I will help you to arrange it. You must be tired after traveling all the way to Pingyang Town. Why don't you just stay in the small shop and see the seller tomorrow."

Tianxiangju is not an inn, so there are no rooms for guests to stay in, but there are two small yards for people to rest in the backyard.Usually shopkeeper Wu used these two small yards to entertain relatives and friends, this time it happened to be Tong Hao's place to stay.

Because no one lives there on weekdays, it is inevitable to clean it up, so shopkeeper Wu immediately went to tell the staff.As soon as he left, Qingzhu came in from outside the house.

"My lord, this Wu Guien is quite interesting."

"Quiet?" Tong Hao smiled mysteriously: "This person is tactful but unsophisticated, and he advances and retreats properly, which can be described by more than two words." He turned his eyes to the table, and the red tomato was also attracted Green Bamboo's eyes.

"Young master, is this a tomato? It doesn't look strange, why do you come here in person?"

"You'll know if you try it." With Tong Hao's consent, Qingzhu immediately took one, biting down and her eyes widened immediately: "Mmm...my lord, this tomato is really delicious."

Tong Hao also picked up one and ate one. He didn't make a fuss like Qingzhu, but said to himself: "Now I want to see what the person who can grow this thing looks like."
