Chapter 564: It turns out to be here
So he put down the spoon in his hand and thought seriously.
"Don't worry, I will be back in a few days. Even if I sell these wontons, I will not sell them outside of the province of Xishu. I bought this recipe mainly for my sister to try. It is so delicious. So you can rest assured. I am a scholar and I must keep my word."
Seeing through his thoughts, Kong Mingxue added fuel to the fire.
"Okay, sir, how much silver do you want to offer?" Upon hearing that Kong Mingxue was a scholar, the stall owner immediately agreed.
Among the four classes of people, scholars always come first. They may become officials someday.
As the common people at the bottom of society, they admire scholars.
"For one hundred taels, I will sign a document with you stating that I will not sell it outside of the province of Xishu. If I fail to do so, you may sue me at the government."
Kong Mingxue took out a silver note and put it on the table, which scared the stall owner so much that he almost sat down.
"This, this is too much." Previously, those who wanted to buy his prescription would only offer fifty taels at most, and some people even offered twenty or thirty taels. He originally thought that forty taels would be enough, which would be just enough to help his son buy the shop. Who knew that the customer in front of him would directly offer one hundred taels.
"It's not much, your wontons are worth it." Kong Mingxue is not only not short of money, but also extremely generous.
Just like his biological father Kong Yuanbao, whenever he bought a house, he would give enough money.
This way both parties are happy.
All are happy.
"Okay, since the guest says so, I will sell it to you." The stall owner had no pens, ink, paper, or inkstone, so Kong Mingxue asked Lian Shun to go to a nearby bookstore and buy a roll of paper. As for the pens and ink, they were borrowed.
The stall owner couldn't write, so he asked Kong Ming to learn how to write.
The entire piece of paper was covered with densely packed words. Because he was so generous, the stall owner even told him all the details that didn't need to be mentioned.
Even a six-year-old child can make the same wontons by following this recipe.
By the time I got the prescription, it was already dark.
The master and servant returned the same way and passed by a jewelry shop. Kong Mingxue stopped and walked straight in, and Lian Shun hurriedly followed.
"Sir, are you buying it for your wife or your mother?" Kong Ming was about 20 years old, and the owner of the jewelry store tacitly accepted that he was married.
So as soon as the master and servant came in, he asked without thinking.
"Buy it for my sister. Pack up this hairpin for me. Oh, and pack up this hairpin and that hairpin as well."
Kong Mingxue didn't ask him to recommend.
He took down the hairpin hanging on the wall and pointed at the hairpins and hairpins placed on the counter.
"Okay, sir, the total is one hundred and twenty taels." The shopkeeper was very happy.
He had never seen such a straightforward customer. He wanted to buy the cigarettes without even trying them, and bought three at a time without even bargaining for the price.
So he took out the exquisite jewelry boxes that were supposed to be sold in the shop and packed them up.
"Sir, this jewelry box is for you." The box was not very expensive, only four taels.
But if you can please the new customer, maybe he will come again in the future.
Those who can open a shop are all smart.
After paying the money, Kong Mingxue returned to the old house of the Meng family. Before going to bed, he opened the jewelry box and stroked the hairpin with butterfly and orchid inlay.
"Wangyou will look great wearing it." After muttering to himself, Kong Mingxue closed the jewelry box and went to sleep.
The next evening, after dinner, Jiang Fubao and his elder sister Jiang Wangyou were watering flowers and chatting in the garden.
Fenghuang stood on Jiang Fubao's shoulder, and Xiaohua crawled at Jiang Wangyou's feet.
The latter squatted down and stroked Xiaohua's head.
"Fubao, Brother Kong has been gone for a long time, why hasn't he come back yet?" It seemed like a casual question, but in fact Jiang Wangyou hesitated for a long time before saying it.
"Oh, you mean Brother Mingxue. He will be back with Brother Bujiu in some time. What's wrong? Does big sister miss him?" Jiang Fubao teased.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You can't say anything casually. I was just asking casually." Jiang Wangyou quickly lowered her head, afraid that Jiang Fubao would see her blushing cheeks.
Jiang Fubao smiled but said nothing, and her elder sister thought she didn't know.
Brother Mingxue often goes to his eldest sister's shop.
The two of them might have fallen in love with each other after interacting with each other for a long time, but the eldest sister was shy and never told them about it.
Jiang Fubao didn't say it clearly. She just wanted to see who of the two would break the window paper first.
"Stop playing, go back and wash up and go to bed. It's getting late." Zhang Yanzi came out of the main room and shouted to her daughter.
"I know, mother." Jiang Fubao shook his shoulders, and the phoenix flew away.
She held her mother's hand and walked towards the second courtyard with her father.
It's cloudy today and the moon is completely obscured.
Not even light can seep out.
The third son of the Zhou family, who was guarding outside Sunjia Village, was dozing off.
He leaned against a big tree, his eyes sometimes opening and sometimes closing, and he stayed like this until dawn, when the fourth son of the Zhou family came over.
"Third brother, go back to sleep." The five brothers have been waiting at the entrance of Sunjia Village for three days.
There was still no sign of Sun Xiaotao.
It was not until the morning that an ox cart drove from a distance and entered Sunjia Village. The fourth son of the Zhou family immediately perked up.
He sneaked into the village and kept hiding in the dark and watching.
The ox cart did not stop at the Sun family. The fourth son of the Zhou family was about to leave in disappointment, but he saw the Sun couple coming out of their house and following the ox cart.
The fourth son of the Zhou family hurriedly followed quietly.
"The engagement day has arrived in the blink of an eye. Come, come, relatives, please come in quickly." Wang Yaonu looked around and saw that the fourth son of the Zhou family was almost seen. He quickly moved to the corner and avoided it.
At this time, everyone in the village went to work in the fields.
Wang Yaonu was worried that the Zhou family would come again, so she never let Sun Xiaotao go home, and even planned to arrange the engagement at Sun Qiaoer's home.
This abnormal appearance was noticed by the fourth son of the Zhou family. He climbed over the wall and saw Sun Xiaotao in the yard at a glance.
"Damn it, it turns out that bitch is here." The fourth son of the Zhou family cursed inwardly.
He climbed down from the wall and ran out of the village at full speed.
While they were getting engaged with smiles on their faces, the fourth son of the Zhou family was rushing to Sunjia Village with his entire family.
Just when Sun Xiaotao was about to put her fingerprints on the marriage certificate.
The door of Sun Qiaoer's house was kicked open.
Seeing the person coming, Sun Xiaotao trembled with fear.
The smiles on Wang Yaonu and Sun Cong's faces froze instantly.
"You little bitch, I think you want to die!" Although Mrs. Wang is old, she is nimble and agile. Seeing Sun Xiaotao standing next to a man, smiling like a flower, she rushed up to him, pinned him to the ground and beat him.
Big slaps on the face, one on the left and one on the right.
No one came to pull it at all.
"Mom, save me--" Sun Xiaotao's hands were clamped by Ye, and her face was swollen from being beaten by Old Wang.
But her parents didn't care at all and even wanted to run away.
But with so many people from the Zhou family coming, there was no way they could escape.
The family of three were beaten black and blue and knelt on the ground like prisoners about to be beheaded.
