Chapter 28 Stay in the County
The Yun clan members refused to provide food, and those families that did not get food immediately blamed Wang Fugui, the village head.
What a waste of joy.
I thought they would really distribute food to them, but this is the result?
useless!
"Village head, please don't promise us things you can't do in the future. It makes us hopeful and then disappointed. It's like you're making fun of us."
Wang Fugui: “…”
Even more angry.
A bunch of ungrateful people.
After Yun Huaiyuan returned, he discussed with his father and eldest brother and fourth brother, asking them whether they should also send the food to the restaurant in the city. It would definitely be safer to keep it in the restaurant than at home.
The two families thought about it and agreed.
Before dawn the next day, Yun Huaishan and Yun Huaian drove an ox cart loaded with grain to the city.
Yun Xi was worried about the journey, so she pulled Yun Yan along to follow.
Although the brother and sister do not seem to be as intimidating as Yun Huaishan and Yun Huaian, their fighting power is definitely much stronger than the two of them.
The journey was relatively smooth. We entered the city and headed straight for the Qixing Tower. At that time, the restaurant was not open yet.
Yun Huaishan only found out yesterday that Yun Qi was the shopkeeper of Qixing Tower, and he was happy for his nephew for most of the night.
Now I arrived in front of the restaurant and looked at the two-story magnificent restaurant, it felt unreal.
"Old Four, is Brother Qi really the shopkeeper here?"
Yun Huaian brushed off the few grains of rice that accidentally stuck to his body and replied, "Brother, it's real, more real than real gold."
After getting confirmation again, Yun Huaishan still felt like he was dreaming and didn't even dare to go forward to knock on the door.
Fortunately, no one counted on him. Yun Yan jumped off the ox cart and was about to knock on the door when it opened from the inside.
A waiter poked his head out, looked at Yun Yan with sparkling eyes and smiled happily.
"Oh, it really is the Second Young Master. I just heard the voice in there sounded just like you."
Yun Yan also laughed heartily, "Haha, good morning, Ding, go get someone to help carry the things."
Ading looked behind him and saw the brothers Yun Xi, Yun Huaishan and Yun Huaian, and a cart of grain.
He quickly bowed to Yun Xi and said, "Miss Yun."
Then he bowed to Yun Huaishan and Yun Huaian and said, "Greetings, gentlemen."
He knew Yun Huaian, having been to the restaurant not long ago, and knew that he was the boss's uncle. He should call him the Fourth Master.
However, the boss didn't allow them to do so, so they just called him master.
I don’t know the other one, but he looks older than the Fourth Master, so it’s right to call him Master.
Yun Huaishan felt very uncomfortable and waved his hands to explain that he was not a master.
Yun Xi said, "A Ding, we are all country folks, we don't have so many rules, we don't have to do this in the future."
Ading quickly replied, "I understand, Miss Yun."
After saying that, he hurried in and called for people to help move things.
Seeing the people leave, Yun Huaishan couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of a big restaurant, there are so many rules."
Yun Xi and Yun Yan looked at each other, then looked away silently.
The brother and sister were also helpless. They were worried that the people working in the shop would not be dedicated or would do something detrimental to the restaurant. All the people in the shop were bought and signed into death contracts.
They are servants, and when they meet the master and his relatives, the most basic thing to do is to show courtesy and greet them.
Soon, Ading called a few people to move the food, and Yunqi also followed out.
"Uncle, brother, sister, why are you here?"
Yun Yan briefly explained his purpose, and Yun Qi quickly said, "Uncle, don't worry, the food is safe here, you can come and get it anytime."
After saying that, he asked Ading and others to move the grain into the warehouse, and then invited Yun Huaiyuan and Yun Huaian to go into the restaurant.
Yun Yan took the lead and rushed to the backyard with familiarity, "Brother, come on, is there anything to eat? I'm starving."
When they left in the morning, they only ate a few cucumbers to fill their stomachs, and now they were starving.
When Yun Qi heard this, he ordered someone to prepare food for them. Yun Xi ordered directly, "Brother, I want to eat buns."
The buns are delicious and filling, Yunxi likes them very much.
Yunqi smiled and agreed.
Yun Huaishan and Yun Huaian followed behind the siblings, watching Yun Qi ordering people to do this and that, and they felt that he was very impressive.
Yun Huaian also praised, "Brother Qi is really amazing!"
Yun Huaishan also thought so, but he was a little worried that Yun Yan and Yun Xi, brother and sister, seemed too casual here. He didn't know if this would displease their boss and affect Yun Qi's work.
He found an opportunity to get close to Yunqi and told him about his concerns.
Yun Qi smiled and said to him, "Don't worry, uncle, the Dong family is very nice and won't say anything. I know my limits."
Yun Huaishan nodded, "As long as you know your limits, I won't say anything more."
After dinner, Yun Huaishan and Yun Huaian prepared to go home. But Yun Xi didn't plan to go back today.
I'd better stay in the city for two days before leaving. Besides, I didn't see you when I came here today, so I missed you after not seeing you for a few days.
Since Yun Xi didn't go back, Yun Yan stayed too.
In the end, only the brothers Yun Huaishan and Yun Huaian returned to the village.
"Little sister, how about we go for a walk on the street later?"
Yun Yan wanted to go out to play on the street, but he was worried that his elder brother would ask him to work in the restaurant, so he took Yun Xi with him as a cover.
Yun Xi knew all about his tricks, but she really wanted to go shopping, so she readily agreed.
Xiemu County is quite prosperous, with many vendors and many pedestrians coming and going.
They walked aimlessly, looking here and there, and would go to join in wherever there was excitement.
If Yunxi saw a little thing she liked, she would buy it. When they passed by the grain and rice shop, they heard people who were buying grain talking about the rising grain prices.
Yun Xi stopped and listened carefully. It turned out that several villages near the county town had suffered from a locust plague. Food was in short supply and the price would naturally rise.
I heard that food prices have already gone up in the north. There are not only locust plagues, but also droughts. The food in many places has already died of drought.
Yun Xi sighed, estimating that in the next one or two years, life would become even more difficult for the people.
As for those officials and wealthy families, they basically have grain stored at home, so it has little impact on them.
Fortunately, after his family opened the restaurant, she had asked his eldest brother to stock up a lot of food, so their family didn't have to worry about going hungry.
While deep in thought, the brother and sister walked to the door of a teahouse.
This teahouse is also very famous in the city. Not only does it serve delicious tea, it is also a gathering place for some literati and elegant people.
Usually, those who are pretentious and talented like to come here to drink tea, recite poems, or write couplets when they have nothing to do.
Those who perform particularly well may be noticed by some famous figures and pave the way for their future career.
The brother and sister were not particularly interested in this place, so they did not plan to go in. But when they were about to leave, the conversation of a group of people entering the teahouse attracted Yun Xi's attention.
"Let's go, let's go quickly. I heard that someone is coming today to play the couplets left by the former Grand Tutor. Let's go and take a look."
"Really? Who is so amazing? This couplet was given by the former Grand Master more than 60 years ago, and no one has come up with a second line. I didn't expect someone would dare to challenge it today."
"I heard that he is a student from Mingshu Academy. He just passed the examination and became a scholar this year. However, he is also the youngest scholar in our county."
"Yes, this man is Zhao Junyi. My cousin is his classmate. I heard that he is very knowledgeable and has the talent to be the top scholar. He has already come up with the second half of the couplet, and he came to the teahouse today to show it to us."
