Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 117
"Mother doesn't remember teaching your Aunt Wang how to make pasta. Mother doesn't know about it, either?" Yuan Shi lowered her head, looked at Chunqiu beside her, with a wry smile on her face. I've seen Sister-in-law Wang, if they didn't go out shopping today and take a different route when they came back, she probably wouldn't know about it, would she?

But looking at Sister Wang's posture in front of her, it might be the first time they have come here, looking at the unfamiliar methods and unskilled things, Yuan Shi, who has been working for so long, can recognize it at a glance.

What they sell is the pasta that ordinary people can ship out, not the iron pot in her shop, which is cooked randomly, and they are here to make the name of the Yang family's food shop, and the surrounding villagers also know the Yang's shop. Fame is also sold a lot.

The mother and daughter Yuan were standing outside the stall without going in. In the end, it was Wang Cuifeng who was inside with sharp eyes, who directly aimed at the two Yuans on the avenue. Suddenly her face froze, and then quickly recovered. After entertaining the two people around her, she explained a few words to Cao'er beside her, and then walked quickly to the Yuan family.

"Hey, isn't this Yuan sister? I'm sorry, my sister-in-law is busy with the stall at the moment, and I didn't see it for a while. Don't be offended, sister. It's all my sister-in-law's fault. Have you eaten with your niece? If you haven't eaten, hurry up Come over and have a taste, the freshly made pasta at home." Wang Cuifeng finished speaking on her own, and then without asking Yuan Shi's wishes, she stretched out her hand and dragged Yuan Shi in, simply because of this incident. I also wanted to explain it to her, but I didn't reach out to stop it.

The three of them walked around the table and went directly to the back of the stall. Before Yuan could ask, Wang Cuifeng's face immediately changed. He didn't have the smiling face before, and instantly turned into a bitter face and cried out.

Dumbfounded Yuan's mother and daughter: ...This change of face is too fast.

"Sister Yuan, your lord has a lot, don't be angry with sister-in-law, sister-in-law really didn't mean it..." Aunt Wang's name is Wang Cuifeng, and her natal family is in Yangjia Village. She was complained by Mrs. Zhang, but Wang Cuifeng has been hot-tempered since she was a child, and she is also a sharp-minded master. Good things come to accompany the crime. On the whole, except for the contradiction between Yang Lishi and Zhang Lishi, the two families have no major conflicts. The reason is that Wang Cuifeng has a lot of minds, and if he can do this kind of thing, he can naturally find a way out. The Yuan family is not the Yang Li family, so there is no need to tear face with her because of this matter. For two scholars, face is still important.

Wang Cuifeng considered that the other party had been here for a long time. If she had heard what she said before, then she would definitely know that she was using the reputation of the shop. Wang Cuifeng didn't dare to bet on how much the other party heard, so she immediately recognized it. A direct apology would save a lot of trouble.

Wang Cuifeng directly apologized without sophistry, which made Yuan a little satisfied, "Sister-in-law Wang, my sister also knows that you didn't mean it, but after all, this is in the name of my shop. My mother-in-law knows, and I... can't help it." Yuan Shi said directly, and Wang Cuifeng also knew the personal grievances between her mother-in-law and Yang Li Shi, so she naturally understood the meaning of Yuan Shi's words.

After listening to Yuan Shi's words, Wang Cuifeng wiped her tears with her sleeves, and said in a low voice, "Sister, sister-in-law will not hide it from you. Today is the first time sister-in-law has come out to set up a stall. I don't have any other intentions to use my sister's shop. Thinking about the reputation of my sister's shop, I will add some popularity to my food..."

As Chunqiu listened, he kept rolling his eyes in his heart, and shrugged his mouth and said in his heart: This is not a big idea. Using the reputation of their shop indiscriminately is called bluffing and deceiving in later generations. If you violate your reputation, you will be imprisoned. Although it is ancient times, it is ancient times. You must also pay attention to the king's law. Cooking without other people's consent is stealing. It is the same as a thief. What Aunt Wang said is simple, and there is a lot of knowledge here!
What Chunqiu can think of, Yuan Shi can naturally think of it, and Yuan Shi thinks further, if there is nothing wrong with the food made by Wang Cuifeng's family, it will be fine, but if something happens, it will involve the hard work of his shop. At that time, everyone will say that Yang's food shop is not good, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to do business in the future.

"Sister-in-law, I don't mean anything else. It's understandable that you sell some food, but if it's in the name of my shop, if others find out, isn't it a lie? Besides, if it affects my shop, I'm afraid The mother-in-law will be the first to jump out." Yang Lishi regards the shop as much as his life. If something happens to this, Yuan Shi can't guarantee that Yang Lishi will do something big, and Yuan Shi said so , and didn’t plan to close her stall directly because of this incident. After all, it’s not easy for farmers to sell some food, and the Yuan family is not a person who can’t tolerate others. As long as Wang Cuifeng promises not to sell food in the name of their shop in the future , Yuan Shi doesn't care about so much, and she won't tell Yang and Li Shi, but if their family continues to sell it under the name of Yang's food shop, it will violate the bottom line of Yuan Shi's heart, and she will not only tell Yang Mrs. Li will not save face for their Zhang family either.

After listening to Yuan's words, Wang Cuifeng looked a little flustered, and then whispered in a negotiating tone, "Sister Yuan, you really can't negotiate, can you be more accommodating? When the time comes, the money we earn will be shared with your family. Look at this Is it okay?" Wang Cuifeng was a little bit unwilling, the food made by her family was not as delicious as that in the Yang family's shop, if it wasn't for the reputation of the Yang family's food shop, she might not be able to sell much, Wang Cuifeng felt the real benefit Of course, she doesn't want to spit it out, but if she doesn't spit it out, what will Yuan Shi do if she won't let her use it? this matter.

Naturally, Yuan Shi could not agree, not to mention anything else, even if she agreed, Yang Li Shi would not agree, so why did she bother to make a fuss for that little money.

Yuan Shi smiled and said, but her tone could not be refused, "Sister-in-law, we celebrities don't speak secretly, I will not agree to this matter, and auntie, don't try to persuade me first." Yuan Shi directly interrupted Wang Cuifeng's opening, and said, " My sister-in-law also knows my mother-in-law's temper, even if I agree, she will be angry, so instead of making trouble for everyone, it is better to make it clear now, sister-in-law, are you right?" Yuan's words are very Obviously, there was no room for consent, and the rejection was straightforward.Both of them also understood that if Wang Cuifeng still didn't listen to the persuasion, then there would be only one end, Yang and Li would block the door of her house and scold her every day.

"...In that case, my sister-in-law has nothing to say, so let's do what my sister said. Next time I come out to set up a stall, my sister-in-law will definitely not mention the name of your Yang family's restaurant." Wang Cuifeng failed to get Yuan to agree. She used the name of Yang's restaurant, so she had to settle for the next best thing, and agreed directly, but she still played a trick on Yuan Shi during the period.

Chunqiu stood aside, and then directly noticed the loophole in Aunt Wang's words. She didn't mention the name of Yang's food shop, but she didn't say it. How did she answer when someone mentioned it? You know, the Yuan family came At that time, Aunt Wang had already announced the name of the restaurant in the Yang family. Now that there are so many pedestrians coming and going on the street, this news has long been known. When people ask, if Aunt Wang answers ambiguously , isn't that still the default?In this case, even if Mrs. Yang and Li came here to make trouble, they have a reason. She didn't mention it, but someone else mentioned it, but she didn't care about her business.

That's it, once this obvious language loophole is ignored by people, then when they react, it may cause people to suffer a great crime.

Chunqiu came to his senses, and directly stretched out his hand to pull Yuan Shi who was about to speak. Her mother can't just agree to her so casually, otherwise what will happen to their family when they suffer?
Just as Yuan Shi was about to speak, she was grabbed by the hem of her clothes by her daughter. Yuan Shi looked down at the anxious Chunqiu, comforted her daughter with a smile, and then said, "Sister-in-law, you are right, but what should you do with what you said before?" Huh? There are people coming and going on the street. If it reaches the ears of the mother-in-law, my sister-in-law will probably be scolded. Sister-in-law, please explain to me when the time comes. If someone asks about Yang’s shop, sister-in-law should Do you know how to say it?" Yuan Shi would ignore the loopholes in Wang Cuifeng's words, Wang Cuifeng has a lot of eyes, and she Yuan Shi is not bad, if she wants to tear a piece of flesh out of her hand, it depends on whether she will give it or not.

When Wang Cuifeng heard what Yuan said, she felt a little regretful. She was afraid that she would not be able to take advantage of their family. Before she noticed that the old Yang's family opened a shop in Heishan Town to make money, she would not think of such a non-solution method. She originally had the attitude of giving it a try, but now that she failed, apart from some regrets, she also felt sorry for her. It's nothing, thinking of this, Wang Cuifeng's expression changed normally, she looked at Yuan Shi with an apologetic smile on her face, and said in a low voice, "Sister, I'm really sorry, sister-in-law is confused, and I forgot all about this crop before, of course If there is nothing wrong with my sister, I will stay here for a while, and my sister-in-law will go to the front and explain clearly." After Wang Cuifeng finished speaking, she went back to the front and called all the girls who came to set up a stall with her to her side, and then After explaining to a few people, he got busy again...
