Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 72 No one dares to provoke
At the end, the magistrate said again: "Today, my lord sent someone to Jiuwei Restaurant to buy a few meals for dinner. This matter is a vicious competition at a light level, and it is a murder of the imperial court official at a serious level." !"

Those people were trembling with fright, only then did they realize that there was such a thing, they thought with lingering fear, fortunately Liu Er tried to poison last night.

If the county magistrate was poisoned because of their conspiracy, Liu Xi would probably be imprisoned for ten years, and these people might have to serve three years of hard labor!
"This time, I will deal with this matter seriously! Next time, I will deal with this kind of matter more seriously!" The county magistrate said with a straight face, "It's not easy for the people, and every copper coin earned is hard-earned money. Of course, I prefer to eat cheap, delicious, and plentiful meals! You should all reflect on yourself from your own perspective! As for Jiuwei Restaurant? I will send you another picture!"

The magistrate of the county picked up a piece of rice paper on the side, dipped it in ink with a brush, and wrote four big characters in one swipe—high quality and low price!
"When you do business, you should keep in mind the words 'high quality and low price'. You first help the people, and then the people will let you make a lot of money!" The county magistrate said with emotion.

"What your lord said is very true." Everyone in the hall lowered their heads and said.

Ye Qiongdan paid homage to the county magistrate: "Thank you for the word, my lord, I will keep these four words in my heart, and be honest, and live up to my lord's expectations."

"Well," the county magistrate nodded, "don't be in a hurry to take it back, I will order someone to stamp it on the plaque for you, and have it delivered to your shop!"

"Thank you, my lord!" With this honor, in the future, everyone will think that Ye Qiongdan's backer is the county magistrate.

At that time, how could anyone in Qili Town dare to poison her shop?Doesn't that make it clear that you are against the magistrate?

After returning to the shop at the wharf of Qili Town, it was dusk.

The second daughter-in-law didn't bother to wash the dishes anymore, and when she saw the two of them came back, she lazily raised her eyelids: "The sue won? Then, Xiang girl and I packed up and left. Oh, I'm so exhausted after a busy day! I shouldn't have a big spring and autumn dream of making a fortune, tossing around with you! I'm old, I'm going to miss it!"

Since the arrest of a person who attempted poisoning last night, the second daughter-in-law has decided that this shop will not last long. If it can escape one disaster, can it avoid two, three or even more disasters?This girl is weak, and she still wants to clean up these merchants?It's just a fool's dream!
She used to listen to Ye Feng, who was reading a book, say something first - a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. Thinking about it, this sentence is most suitable for her current thinking. She should hurry back and arrange marriage for the three daughters!

As for the three brothers and sisters?Let them live or die!

Under the sneering words of the second daughter-in-law, Xiang girl said stubbornly: "Mother, I won't leave! I want to continue to do business with Dan girl. I can't be looked down upon by Mrs. Li in Lijia Village! I can't live up to Dan girl's expectations!"

"I said, why are you so stubborn? Talking about money hurts your bones, and talking about your bones hurts money. Similarly, talking about money hurts your conscience, but talking about your conscience also hurts money!" The second wife said meanly.

"Mother, you should share joys and sorrows in business. If you left at a critical moment in the development of the shop, won't your conscience hurt?" Xiang girl asked uncomfortably.

"No." The second wife said firmly.

Ye Qiongdan thought to herself, for a mercenary like the second daughter-in-law, when encountering this kind of thing, she took the vested interests and left ruthlessly. Not only will her conscience not hurt, but she may also be happy!

"You don't have to leave, the matter is completely settled," Ye Qiongdan took Xiang girl's hand and patted it lightly, "Not only did we win the case, but those people were severely punished, and the county magistrate even gave us a plaque! There are four big characters written on the plaque - high quality and low price!"

"The county magistrate still wants to give us words?" Xiang girl was surprised and delighted.

"It's better to give a plaque! Those who participated in last night's incident, the principal offender was imprisoned for three years, the lash was one hundred, and the accomplice..." Ye Qiongdan repeated the punishment given by the county magistrate, "This is a heavy punishment. To serve as a warning to others, in the future, no one will dare to do this again!"

"Hey, heavy punishment? The county magistrate personally gave you a plaque?" The meanness on the face of the second daughter-in-law disappeared immediately, and she said flatteringly, "I knew that girl Dan was a person who survived a catastrophe and would have future blessings. You Look, isn’t the magistrate of the county now our nobleman? The people in the yamen will bring the plaque over with great fanfare, right?”

"Yes." Ye Qiongdan nodded.

"Girl Dan, are you tired? The second aunt pressed your shoulders for you. You are a great hero of our shop, and all the smoke from our ancestral grave was made by you alone!" The second daughter-in-law scooped up a ladle of water Cleaned his hands and smiled from ear to ear.

She thought to herself, with the support of the magistrate of the county, what ghosts and snakes would dare to oppose Jiuwei Restaurant in the future?

"No, you've been tired all day."

"That... Dan girl, before the second aunt said she was going to leave, it was testing you. The second aunt never wanted to leave, we are a family, we must share weal and woe! Right, Xiang girl?" The second daughter-in-law winked at her daughter.

"Mother, why do you..." Xiang girl felt extremely embarrassed.

"Let's clean up and close the shop," Ye Qiongdan smiled slightly, "I'll go to Ren Yazi to buy two maids to help out tomorrow, but I still have to use my own people to deal with pig offal and wild bracken."

"Dan girl, you can't cross the river and tear down the bridge! During this period of time, the second aunt and Xiang girl are in this shop, there is no credit but also hard work. How can you turn your face and deny anyone once you get the favor of the county magistrate? I don't know." Go! I am determined not to go!" The second daughter-in-law went to the door of the front shop and the backyard, and sat down on the threshold, with a look of panic flashing in her eyes. She knew that if she left, she would have no money. I'm going, unless you step on me!"

"Second Aunt, you misunderstood," Ye Qiongdan said dumbfoundedly, "Isn't our shop too busy? We are just a few of us, washing and cooking vegetables every day is too tiring, didn't we say we would buy two? Girl? Didn't tell you to go!"

"I knew girl Dan was a conscientious person." The second daughter-in-law said with a smile.

"Talking about conscience hurts money." Ye Qiongdan blocked her with her words.

"With our friendship, do we still care about the two money?" The second daughter-in-law said cheekily.

After a while, the shops on this street that had participated in the poisoning incident sent people to collect 30 taels of silver and sent them to Ye Qiongdan.

The second daughter-in-law's eyes were straightened, seeing that she had several hundred taels of silver in the account in an instant, she sighed: "Why don't you invite more people to participate in the poisoning?"

"Be content!" Ye Qiongdan took out one-tenth of the silver and handed it to the second wife.

The daughter-in-law of the second room was biting the money, and said vaguely: "Does anyone think that too much money hurts their hands?"

"After a while, the girls we bought have all been trained, and my elder brother and I will go to do other things," Ye Qiongdan said sincerely, "Second Auntie, Xiang girl is young after all, and she doesn't know much about the dangers in the world. You still need to make up your mind."

"Do other things?" The second daughter-in-law stopped biting money, and asked suspiciously, "What are you doing?"

"Open a firecracker shop."

The daughter-in-law of the second room sneered and said: "You still think that there are not enough firecracker shops in Qinghe County? The surrounding counties are rich in saltpeter, and half of the firecrackers in Dalongchao are produced here. It is definitely not good to sell locally. Who do you know when selling overseas?"

"Don't worry about it." Ye Qiongdan wanted to use saltpeter to make ice, and opening a firecracker shop was just a deception, and she didn't point out how much money the firecrackers made her.

"If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer a loss in front of your eyes. When the time comes to open a firecracker shop, you will lose money. Don't ask my second room to borrow money to fill the hole!"

"Don't worry!" Ye Qiongdan said coolly.

After the second daughter-in-law went into the kitchen to get a dishcloth for washing dishes, Xiang girl came over and whispered, "Adan, you can open a firecracker shop without worry. If you lose money, I will give you the money behind my mother's back!"

"Don't worry," Ye Qiongdan smiled slightly, "Even if you really lose money in a small business, you won't lose a lot of money."

Xiang girl nodded, she had an inexplicable trust in her heart, only felt that after she survived a catastrophe, she seemed to be a different person.

The previous cowardice was gone, replaced by strength.

The former obedience has never disappeared, and it has been replaced by self-contained plans.

The previous obedience is gone, replaced by the courage to fight.

After everyone cleaned up the shop together, Ye Qiongdan went to the pharmacy to grab some medicine and gave it to Uncle Chen in the village.

Uncle Chen said gratefully: "Girl Dan, I'm really sorry to cost you again."

"What's the expense? For so many years, you have taken good care of our third room. Our family has long regarded Uncle Chen as a relative." Ye Qiongdan said with a smile.

"This girl..." Uncle Chen laughed twice, "Look, you were the one who helped Uncle last time. If you hadn't spoken out righteously, Uncle would have been cheated out of his hard-earned money by that charlatan."

"As long as you keep taking these few medicines and take care of them for a year, the root cause of Grandpa Chen's and Grandma Chen's illnesses will almost be cured. As the saying goes, illnesses come like a mountain and go away like silk. Uncle Chen, don't be too impatient." Ye Qiongdan persuaded.

"Girl Dan is right." Uncle Chen nodded repeatedly.

Some time ago, Ye Qiongdan specially took the time to check the pulse of old man Chen and old lady Chen, and also prescribed some medicine.

At that time, Uncle Chen also thought that she cured Mr. Zhao in Qili Town because a blind cat encountered a dead mouse. Although he boiled these medicines for Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen, he didn't have too much expectation for the efficacy of the medicine. .

After all, Ye Qiongdan was too young to be convincing.

"Uncle Chen, you have to trust me once and insist on giving this medicine to Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen," Ye Qiongdan said persistently, "I'll come see them later."

As she said that, she left some money: "Give this money to Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen to buy some delicious food, and I, the younger generation, will honor the elders."

"No way!" Uncle Chen hastily refused.

"What's wrong with this? When I was young, I couldn't eat enough. Didn't Grandpa and Grandma Chen often ask me to come over for dinner? The money is not much, so it's a kindness." Ye Qiongdan insisted.

Uncle Chen said with emotion: "What a good girl, whoever marries you in the future will be blessed."

Before Ye Qiongdan returned to the new house, she heard Song Matchmaker shouting from a distance: "Qing Han, the male college is getting married! In the past, the family was in trouble, and no girl was willing to marry you, but now who doesn't know that you are in the town?" The business of the shop is very good, right?"
