Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 75 Refusal to cooperate
When the boy passed by, it was almost time for the workers to finish their work.

There are hundreds of bowls on the front desk of Jiuwei Restaurant, each bowl is filled with hot rice and hot dishes. The color of those dishes is very beautiful, and the tempting aroma makes people salivate.

The most important thing is that the portion of each meal is very large, enough to feed a big man who works as a coolie.

And on one side of the front desk, hundreds of tied lotus leaf bags are placed high up, presumably the lotus leaf bags are also full of meals.

The little servant sighed and said, "Manager Fu really has a vision. The business of this shop is so good. If such a shop can be opened in every wharf in the country, how much money can the Wu family make? At that time, Manager Fu will take advantage of this Since I have been promoted due to meritorious service, wouldn't I also be able to go to Yiling County with Fu Guanshi?"

The young man walked into Jiuwei Restaurant, thinking that he was sent by the manager of Wu's Chamber of Commerce in Qinghe County, he couldn't help but feel a little arrogant, and said to Ye Qiongxiang who was busy at the front desk: "Young lady's surname is Ye?"

Ye Qiongxiang nodded because she didn't know.

Seeing that she was wearing plain clothes, a dark apron, a kerchief on her head, and some oil stains on her hands from the packed meals, the boy couldn't help but scornfully said: "Our housekeeper is looking for you. Let me go."

On weekdays, the servants who followed Manager Fu were all big businessmen from Qinghe County. These big businessmen were well-dressed and well-spoken.

And the woman in front of her looked like an illiterate and vulgar girl. Manager Fu sent him to come here in person, he really thinks highly of her!
The young man could read some characters, thought he was a head above her, and found a strong sense of superiority in her, and the people he met with Fu Guanshi in the past were all of higher status than her, so he didn't think he was at all. Need to speak politely to her.

"Did you find the wrong person?" Ye Qiongxiang asked suspiciously.

"That's right, I found you," said the servant impatiently, "Let's go quickly, don't make our housekeeper wait impatiently, he earns about one tael of silver every quarter of an hour, you are wasting his time I'm sorry, he's done you a great deal of face by inviting you over to discuss the matter."

"I don't know the manager of your house either. I'm still busy here. The workers are about to call it a day." Ye Qiongxiang didn't dare to leave her post without authorization. This world is not a dispensable person, she can also live a very valuable life.

"It seems that the shopkeeper of Jiuwei Restaurant is really a short-sighted and dull country girl," the servant sneered, "If you don't go, you don't know what you will lose!"

"I...I'm not the shopkeeper..." Ye Qiongxiang was a little embarrassed by the scolding, and stretched out her hand to squeeze the apron tightly.

"No?" The boy became even more impatient, "Then you're still standing here? If you haven't called your shopkeeper here, you've delayed the work of the manager, can you afford it?"

"What does Manager Fu's matter have anything to do with my Axiang? Manager Fu came to invite me, not me begging to talk to Manager Fu, right?" At this time, Ye Qiongdan opened the curtain and held a pot of brown rice from the backyard. Fan walked out, "I don't know if you are asking me to do something? Or are you looking for me to cooperate? Asking for help should be done with a begging attitude, and cooperation should be done with a cooperative attitude!"

"Tell me, what is the attitude of asking for help? What is the attitude of cooperation?" The servant sneered.

He didn't take Ye Qiongdan seriously at all. Among the wealthy businessmen he had met before, which one of the people with him was illiterate and literate?
Can put a vulgar girl in the store, the culture of the shopkeeper is not too high, right?How could such a large restaurant be opened in such a short period of time?

The servant looked at her carefully with doubts, and saw that the girl in front of her was wearing a simple and elegant light beige summer shirt with a long skirt of the same color, as fresh as a graceful pear blossom after the rain, unparalleled in beauty .

Especially those pair of cold apricot eyes, as if washed by the clear dew, the color is like ink, moist and translucent.

Also standing in a shop full of fireworks, she is like a boudoir jasper who does not touch fireworks. She just stops randomly and becomes a landscape on this street.

The boy looked away and thought to himself, it's a pity that such a delicate and jade-like girl was born in the countryside.Presumably, the booming business of her shop was achieved by her sacrificing her appearance and going to the county magistrate in exchange for it!
Although such a woman is smart, how is it different from a brothel woman?

"Whether it's asking for help or cooperating, you should first apologize to Ah Xiang. I won't let people bully my family. Our Ye family doesn't pick trouble, but if someone comes over to pick trouble, we won't be afraid of it! "Ye Qiongdan said loudly.

"Boss Fu is the steward of the Wu family, the largest wealthy merchant in the north, in Qinghe County, and I am sent by him. Do you think you can offend me?" the servant asked contemptuously.

"To put it bluntly, you are just a servant. Can you represent the Wu family? If you are asking for help, you offended Adan, which is tantamount to offending me. If Manager Fu insists on asking me for something, you will definitely be punished when you go back; if it is Cooperation, our shop is developing well, and we don't need to cooperate with you!"

Ye Qiongdan has always been very clear that weak countries have no diplomacy, and the so-called "cooperation" is just a kind of commercial exploitation for the weak, and it is better not to cooperate.

"If I apologize, will Shopkeeper Ye follow me to see Manager Fu?" The servant asked with difficulty.

He knew very well that he had to complete this matter, and it was a matter of promotion for the manager.

If because of him, a small matter that was originally easy to solve turned into a big one with twists and turns, from now on, Manager Fu will definitely not reuse him again, and his future in Wu's Chamber of Commerce will stop here.

"You have to apologize first before we can talk further." Ye Qiongdan said coldly.

"I'm sorry." The servant lowered his head and reluctantly said to Ye Qiongxiang.

"No, nothing." Xiang girl waved her hand and went on to pack the meals.

"Shopkeeper Ye, our manager Fu invites you to go to the county to discuss matters. You can go with me now. I have a lot of things to do this afternoon," the boy said quickly, "He only has half a stick of incense, so he can talk to you about something."

"He has a lot of things to do, and so do I." Ye Qiongdan has to help sell meals for a while, and in the afternoon, he has to go to the tooth shop to pick out two girls who can endure hardships and troubles from Ren Yazi.

"Shopkeeper Ye, with all due respect, your matter is nothing more than a trivial matter. Besides, if you and Manager Fu agree to cooperate, then from now on, you won't have to work so hard." The servant said arrogantly .

"No matter how trivial my business is, it's also my business. It's none of my business to pay the steward. Besides, I've made it clear just now that our shop is developing well and we don't need to cooperate with you!"

Ye Qiongdan knew very well that Jiuwei Restaurant and Wu's Chamber of Commerce, the No. [-] chamber of commerce in the Northland, were not on an equal footing at all, and it was impossible to discuss cooperation between the two. Just buy them all.

If she agrees, her money will be cut off.

Moreover, when her ice cube business opens up in the future, she will be targeted by the Wu's Chamber of Commerce again.

The Wu's Chamber of Commerce's appetite will never be satisfied, as long as you compromise once, they will make you compromise again, and you will never have a bright future under the oppression of the Wu's Chamber of Commerce.

"You just said, as long as I apologize, we can talk down!" The boy was a little angry.

"Yes, so I told you, my attitude - refuse to cooperate!"

"Huh! I don't know what is good and what is bad!" The servant left angrily.

Xiang girl asked with some concern: "The people under the largest wealthy businessman in the Northland will not do things that are not good for us, will they?"

"It doesn't matter." Ye Qiongdan said calmly, offending the Feng Shui masters is not fruitful, she has a hundred ways to deal with them, but they have nothing to do with her.

After the boy went back to see Manager Fu, he anxiously accused him of a crime.

He wanted to put the blame on Ye Qiongdan, but unexpectedly, Manager Fu didn't listen to his explanation at all, and directly demoted him from a personal servant to a third-class handyman.

He knew that his servant had always been somewhat snobbish, so he decided that he must have been confused after going to Jiuwei Restaurant this time.

He regretted that he hadn't thought thoroughly before, and he also blamed this young man for not knowing the general idea.

In the evening, Shanghe Village.

The rays of the sun are like fire, and the setting sun is like blood.

Ye Qiongdan jumped off the donkey cart, and Ye Qinghan walked beside her carrying a large water jug ​​as if he was lifting weights lightly.

There were many wild flowers blooming on this road. The girl from the Wang family carried a basket and bent down pretentiously to pick wild flowers by the side of the road. From time to time, she reached out to stroke her hair disheveled by the wind, revealing her pretty face.

Youth is the best rouge and gouache for a girl. Even if she just randomly puts a wild flower on her head, the fresh, innocent, and simple beauty can make men look at her several times.

But Ye Qinghan turned a blind eye to her, his mind was completely on the people around him.

Even if Ye Qiongdan was by his side, he still missed her silently in his heart.

His eyes will always follow her unconsciously, even if she leaves his sight for a quarter of an hour, he will start to miss her uncontrollably, and the time will become painful and long.

Of course, most of the time, he would restrain himself from seeing her frequently, fearing that his secret love for her would cause trouble to her.

Seeing that Ye Qinghan was about to pass by her, Miss Wang walked to a pomegranate tree, stood on tiptoe, and eagerly reached out to pick a high pomegranate flower: " Oh, it's so high, I can't pick it!"

She thought that after Ye Qinghan heard these words, he would definitely come over and help her pick the flowers.

He is getting closer...

getting closer...

He passed her directly, as if he didn't see her.

Miss Wang sighed and frowned, a little annoyed at his incomprehensible style.

Ye Qiongdan curled her lips with a smile, but she didn't laugh out loud. She glanced at him secretly, and then quickly looked away.

Somehow, some schadenfreude!
After passing Ms. Wang, they ran into Ms. Lu who was releasing paper kites.

Miss Lu was wearing a newly made water-red skirt. The skirt was very narrow at the waist, making her graceful like an oleander blooming in the wind.

The night wind was so strong that her skirt was blown away layer by layer like flower petals.

Ye Qiongdan thought to herself, Miss Lu is really willing to spend all her money, she actually pulled so many feet of fabric and pinched twelve skirt pleats for a beautiful skirt.

When Miss Lu released the paper kite, she let out a clear laugh like a silver bell, intending to attract Ye Qinghan's attention.
