Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 163

"Then there will be shopkeeper Lao Xia." Wu Da is also in the midst of a business and cannot stay for long.Unexpectedly, Xia Junyan came out with a jar, "These are homemade side dishes, not worth a lot of money, and it's not easy for Wu Tou to come here, so take them back as snacks."

Wu Da didn't refuse, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Xia is too polite. This dish is cooked well today, maybe the county magistrate will come to try it tomorrow."

As soon as Wu Dagang left, Xia Junyan hurried to the backyard to explain the menu that she met last night with Aunt An and Xiaoyu.Ask Mrs. An to cook the yamen's dishes first, and let Xiaoyu try other people's dishes for the time being, and call Qian Gui to get the food box.

It is necessary to make good friends with officials like Chai County Magistrate, but it is even more important to establish friendship with local policemen like Wu Da.

Xia Junyan went back and tidied up her clothes. It was the first time ordering food in the yamen today, and she, the shopkeeper, had to go in person to show her sincerity.After finally taking care of everything, he went to the front yard and waited for Qian Gui to take out the food box, when he saw two young women suddenly came outside the door, they looked like they should be dressed as maids from a wealthy family in the town.

Among them, the older woman looked around and was obviously dissatisfied with the noise in the store, but she didn't show it, and said patiently, "Excuse me, is this Xiaji Food Shop?"

"Yes." Xia Junyan said, "Are you two here for dinner?"

"Our wife has heard about Shopkeeper Xia's cooking skills for a long time, and heard that Shopkeeper Xia has some new dishes here, so she ordered us to come and buy some back."

"So that's how it is. Sit down for a while, both of you."

Xia Junyan hurriedly cleared a table and came out. The two women looked at each other. The table and stool were used by several men just now. How could it be possible for maids like them to sit there? It's a shame!It was still the older maid who said: "No need, let's just stand for a while, please hurry up Shopkeeper Xia."

Just as he was talking, Qian Gui came out from the backyard carrying two oversized food boxes, and he was still yelling: "Grandma, let's go quickly, before the food gets cold and tastes bad."

The servant girl immediately asked, "Is shopkeeper Xia going out?"

"Yes." Xia Junyan took a food box, and her hand sank, it was quite heavy.

"What should we do? Our wife said that this dish can only be made by Shopkeeper Xia himself." The servant girl frowned, "How long will Shopkeeper Xia be able to come back?"

Xia Junyan smiled kindly and said: "I'll be back in about a moment, you two, wait a moment, I'll come as soon as I go!" After finishing speaking, she asked Changsheng Haosheng to entertain her, and hurried to the yamen while she still had strength.

The two women frowned, and the younger one waited for Xia Junyan to go away before saying: "How can there be a shopkeeper who ignores customers? I really don't know how this shopkeeper does business. There is even an elegant shop here." There is no time for her to show her face, and she still thinks that all the women in the world are like her?"

"Don't be upset, Qiu'er. After all, it's just a female shopkeeper. Let's just be patient. It's only right to do what Madam told me to do well."

The little maid named Qiu'er nodded muffledly, but she was a little dissatisfied with this Xiaji food shop in her heart.
