Despite the hustle and bustle today, their stall still has good business, and it seems that there are more people than usual. People who ordered food found a seat to sit down and eat. Those who lined up quickly in front of them were given a small portion of braised pork for free, but those who came later were not so lucky.

The meat was juicy and full of fragrance. "I have never eaten meat that tastes so good in my life." Someone said.

"Yes, this is what meat is." Someone sighed.

"Fragrant, really fragrant."

But there was too little meat. It was gone after two bites. After smacking my lips twice, it was still full of fragrance. In the past, when I bought meat from home, I cut it into thin slices and cooked it with vegetables. I only ate a mouthful of meat, and the taste was not as fragrant as it is now. The taste was so good when I bit into my mouth. This taste is really amazing.

When Sun Ji came back, he saw so many people eating at the stall. He saw the queue in front of him and Cao Xiangnan who was still busy, but he didn't walk over. Instead, he quietly joined in

the work. Cao Xiangnan, who was standing in front of the stall, also noticed Sun Ji coming back. He glanced at him, then put his attention back to the stall and continued to work on his hands, spooning the dishes ordered by the other party into the bowl, and then adding two pieces of meat.

The shiny red braised pork looked good just by looking at the color, and the taste was even more fragrant.

This was Cao Xiangnan's first time making and selling braised pork. The pork was not cheap to begin with, so he sold it at the usual price for meat, but in smaller quantities. He considered that not many people would buy it, so he didn't make much. It was a pity, otherwise he could have made a lot of money from this pot of meat. But he just took it as an early advertisement.

"Sorry, the braised pork has been delivered." The pot of meat was quickly empty, and by the time he got to the back, the braised pork had been delivered, and even the soup had been scooped up. Cao Xiangnan could only apologize to the people who came later.

The people who were a step behind were full of regret, because they didn't get to eat the meat, and they heard that it tasted great.

As the number of people eating gradually decreased and there was no longer a long line in front of the stall, Cao Xiangnan motioned Sun Ji to come over and asked him about what had just happened. Sun Ji whispered to Cao Xiangnan what he had just heard, the people and things he had seen.

Cao Xiangnan raised his eyebrows when he heard this. After a quick thought, he understood the cause of this matter. He might have to go to Yipinzhai and ask the shopkeeper Liu for help. He said, "If this matter is not handled properly, I'm afraid that someone will come to cause trouble. We are not afraid with Brother Cao Gang here at the stall. I will talk to Brother Cao Gang later and ask him to keep an eye on the stall recently to prevent those people from causing trouble. But we should all be more careful recently."

"Well, I will pay attention." Sun Ji apologized with a guilty look on his face, "I didn't handle today's matter well enough. I caused trouble for everyone."

"It's not your fault. These people are here to cause trouble. No matter what, they always have reasons to cause trouble. Brother Sun Ji, don't blame yourself. But I have to talk to Brother Dapeng about this matter later, and tell him not to be so impulsive in the future." Cao Xiangnan knew Sun Ji's character, but Cao Dapeng's impatience needed to be changed.

They are now running a business, and they always have to value harmony. There are all kinds of customers, and they can't get impatient when they encounter one or two people who are looking for trouble. This is always wrong.

Sun Ji also learned a lesson from today's incident, and his methods of handling things in the future are becoming more and more smooth. If he handled today's matter, he might not be able to do it so well. He secretly remembered it in his heart.

Looking back, there were fewer people at the stall, so Cao Xiangnan handed over his seat to Sun Ji, said hello, and went to Yipinzhai.

"Brother Cao, why are you here now?" When the shopkeeper Liu saw Cao Xiangnan coming, he saw that his expression was a little different from usual. In the past, Cao Xiangnan would not come to him at this time, so he must have something to ask him. "Let's go upstairs for tea." There

were fewer people eating at Yipinzhai at this time, and the upstairs private room was also vacant.

The two men went upstairs to the private room, and Cao Xiangnan told the shopkeeper Liu about what happened in their stall today. He also told the shopkeeper Liu what Sun Ji had seen and heard. Although he did not clearly point out who the troublemaker was, the shopkeeper Liu, who was smart, also heard it out. "Okay, I know. Don't worry, brother. I will handle this matter for you later." The shopkeeper Liu was also a smart man. He understood the ins and outs of it as soon as he heard it. He nodded and asked, "Is there any damage to the stall?"

"There is not much damage to the stall. Thank you for your concern, brother. Xiangnan would like to thank you here." Cao Xiangnan felt relieved when he heard it, and stood up and bowed to the shopkeeper Liu.

They are in the same boat now, whether he is good or not, Manager Liu has not abandoned him, which also proves that his original choice was right.

I am afraid that the backstage behind Yipinzhai, even the county magistrate, has to give face, or even Manager Liu can't help him even if he wants to, otherwise Zuixianlou will not bully Yipinzhai and go to his small stall to cause trouble for him, instead of daring to come to Yipinzhai to cause trouble.

What Cao Xiangnan didn't know was that Chen Caigui had really caused trouble for Yipinzhai before, and after being scolded, Chen Caigui now thought he was smarter and didn't cause trouble for Yipinzhai directly, but went to cause trouble for him.

"Why are you being polite? We are all family." Shopkeeper Liu waved his hand, meaning that Cao Xiangnan should not be so polite, "If you have any trouble in the future, just let me know. By the way, it is not a long-term solution for you to set up a stall there, how about I help you keep an eye out for good shops and find one for you?"

"Well, okay, it would be best if it is close to the pier, and the rent..." The shops in the town are not so easy to find. It is not easy to find a suitable one. The food sold in their stall is cheap, so if the rent is too expensive, it will not be suitable, Cao Xiangnan said a little embarrassedly.

The rent of the shops in this town is not cheap, especially if they are close to the pier, the rent will be even more expensive.

"I understand, I understand." Cabinet Manager Liu was still a rare sight to see this kid embarrassed, and couldn't help but laugh.

"It's not urgent, not urgent." Cao Xiangnan chuckled.

In order to repay Cabinet Manager Liu, Cao Xiangnan went to the kitchen to make three or two side dishes for Cabinet Manager Liu. The most important one was a chicken in the middle. He had some other ideas about this.

Cabinet Manager Liu liked the taste after taking the first bite, and knew that this dish would definitely be a good seller. Cabinet Manager Liu put down his chopsticks, looked at the kid sitting in front of him with a smile on his face, pointed at him, smiled and shook his head, and asked, "How much of these things do you still know?"

Every time he took out something, his eyes lit up. I'm afraid that the taste of the chefs in the palace couldn't be better than his. Every time he took out something, it was new and novel. With the boy here, Shopkeeper Liu doesn't have to worry about their business being bad.

Cao Xiangnan made a gesture, pointed to his head, and said with a smile, "You have to ask my head about this."

"You are really good at hiding, boy. It's my blessing to know you." Shopkeeper Liu also smiled, picked up the glass, and said to Cao Xiangnan, "Come, have a drink with me."

Later, Cao Xiangnan and Shopkeeper Liu drank a small glass of wine, and the matter was almost discussed. Seeing that it was almost time, he also wanted to go back. He left the new recipe, said goodbye to Shopkeeper Liu, and then went back from Yipinzhai.

The business of their stall was better than usual. When Cao Xiangnan came back from Yipinzhai, the food on the stall had been sold out and the stall was closed. They could go home when he came back.

"Don't worry, Manager Liu has agreed." Cao Xiangnan said.

After getting on the carriage, they went back to Caojia Village.

"Go prepare a gift, we will go to County Magistrate Wang." Manager Liu came out and said to the servant who followed him closely.

"I will prepare it right away."

Not long after, Manager Liu came out of Yipinzhai with his servant and went to the mansion of the county magistrate.

"Sir, Manager Liu from Yipinzhai is here." The gatekeeper came in to report.

At this time, County Magistrate Wang was having dinner, enjoying the massage of his concubine with his eyes closed, looking timid, when he heard someone report that Manager Liu had come. He opened his eyes and asked, "But has Chen Guicai been in trouble again recently?"

"I don't know." The servant who came to report the news said with his head down.

County Magistrate Wang left with a face full of anger. After the concubine and others left, he looked saccharine, thinking that it would be a good thing if he could replace the position of the eldest lady.

Manager Liu did not stay with County Magistrate Wang for long. He mentioned that he had a good brother who was doing food business at the dock in the town, and came to say hello to the county magistrate and asked him to take care of him more. After all, they had no definite evidence that Chen Guicai had hired someone to cause trouble there, but it was not difficult to find evidence.

Shopkeeper Liu had worked in Yipinzhai for so long, so he was a capable man and could more than handle Chen Guicai. Zuixianlou had taken his business away before, and he remembered it in his heart. He would get it back from Chen Guicai sooner or later. He had no confidence before, but now he had it.

When Shopkeeper Liu left County Magistrate Wang's mansion, County Magistrate Wang went to his wife with an angry look on his face.

"Master, who has made you unhappy again?" The wife of the county magistrate, Chen Guimei, saw her husband coming over with an angry face and hurriedly smiled.

"It's your Chen Guicai. He has been causing trouble for me every other day. Now he has come to my house. Tell me, tell me!" He was a small seventh-rank official. Any one of his superiors was higher than him. How could he offend a first-rank official? The county magistrate slapped the table anxiously and asked his wife.

"Okay, okay, tell me what's the matter. I will tell him later." When Chen Guimei heard that it was Chen Guicai's matter again, she gritted her teeth in her heart, but still smiled on her face and coaxed her husband.

Not only can his parents not help him, but they also always hinder him. Who knows how many beauties in this mansion are waiting to laugh at him!

"Master, can you stay with me today and let me serve you well?" Since the person came to his place, Chen Guimei would not let go of such a good opportunity and seized the opportunity to keep the old man.

Chen Guimei was able to sit firmly in the position of the county magistrate's wife, not only because she gave birth to two boys for the county magistrate, but also because she had her own skills and could coax the county magistrate around. No matter when he came with a face full of anger, he would stay happily in the end.

As for the concubine in the other courtyard, after waiting for a long time for the master to come, she learned from the servants that the master had gone to Chen Guimei's place and never came out again. "Hmph! You are so bad, Chen Guimei." Finally, she went into the room angrily and closed the door. She was so angry that she couldn't even sleep.

Lying on the bed at night, Qi Wanfeng asked her husband if anything happened in the stall today. Cao Xiangnan did not hide it and told her about the matter, "Manager Liu will handle it, don't worry."

"Okay." After hearing this, Qi Wanfeng didn't think there was anything to worry about.

It's just that they were robbed here last night, and I don't know if someone will come tonight. Qi Wanfeng couldn't help but feel a little worried. Hearing Qi Wanfeng's words, Cao Xiangnan took his hand and said, "Don't worry, Dahei has a bad temper, not everyone can take him away."

He told Qi Wanfeng what the manager told him when he went to the town to buy a horse.

"Oh, is that true?" Qi Wanfeng laughed, "But after Dahei came back home, his temper has improved day by day." He still remembered that on the first day when Dahei came back, he was still angry with a few children, and now when a few children approached, Dahei even touched him.

This horse also understands human nature, who is good to it, who is bad to it, it can understand in its heart, not everyone can take it away.

The old black horse in the stable was not tied tonight. He was lying in the stable, swinging his tail, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

It was quiet that night. No thieves came to their house. The people in the house slept peacefully.
