Chapter 419 What if they steal the business?
Gu Xiaoxi retracted her gaze and replied calmly, "You don't have to do anything."
"What if they take away our business?" Xia Yu asked anxiously.
Gu Xiaoxi explained calmly, "Our customer groups are all different, so there's no need to worry about this.
There are also diners across the street, but their purpose of going there is different. Don't worry, they are high-end diners who eat people.
Our customers eat food from the store, which is completely different.”
"What, eating people!" Xia Yu felt like he was going crazy when he heard this.
Hahaha……
Gu Xiaoxi...
I can’t live without laughing!
Qiu Shuang couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, her face turned red.
Dashun and Yingsan knew what was going on and couldn't help blushing. Only Xia Yu was still making a fuss.
"Hey...you're such a naive girl." Gu Xiaoxi finally stopped laughing and said, "Starting tomorrow, you don't have to worry about the store anymore. Brother Yifeng and these two brothers will be in your care.
You should teach them medical skills well. Also, Dashun, tomorrow you should call a few people to build a small house a little bit closer to the store. That place will be used specifically for medical consultations.
Whether it's a big radish or someone else's, show it to them and buy them back at the price of the town's shops.
Qiu Shuang, take charge of the shop. Bring the fragrant flowers and herbs. Study medicine in the morning and open the shop for consultations in the afternoon. This way they can learn faster and you can also earn some pocket money.
Qiu Shuang and Xia Yu were very happy to hear what the young lady said. After all, they had learned a lot of skills from the young lady, but they had very few opportunities to use them.
"Okay, there's nothing else to do. That's all. You guys go and get busy!" After saying that, Gu Xiaoxi went back to her room to rest.
…
Dinner in the evening is very lively, and there are a lot more people here tonight.
Zhang Shu left two of his men behind to help, and the rest returned to the city.
The servants of the Chen and Ma families had not left today, and with Lai Yifeng and his two men, the courtyard was bustling with activity.
Gu Xiaoxi simply asked everyone to eat together. There were quite a few people anyway. Besides, Zhang Shu hadn't been here for a while. This kid could chat with anyone, so it would be nice to have a meal together.
Before dinner, Gu Xiaoxi went to call Ye Lixuan. Whether Concubine Pang wanted to come or not was their business.
Concubine Pang actually also likes lively atmosphere, but she is afraid of too many people and too much gossip.
However, everyone in the village only knew that this was Mrs. Pang, and thought that she didn't like too much noise, so she didn't have dinner with Gu Xiaoxi's family in the evening.
"Mom, there are a lot of guests coming to the farm today. We are going to have a big pot dinner tonight. Do you want to join in the fun?" Ye Lixuan actually knew that his mother liked to have fun.
"Okay!" Concubine Pang was happy to see her son back, so she agreed.
When Gu Xiaoxi heard that they were coming, she arranged for them to sit at the same table with her parents.
When Mrs. Chai saw Madam Pang coming to eat, she said with a smile on her face, "Country people don't know the rules. Madam Pang, please forgive me for making a fool of myself."
"No, I've seen it these days. People in the village help each other, and Xiaoxi manages the business very well. I like it here too." Concubine Pang replied with emotion.
"I'm glad you like it. Come on, don't be polite. Xiaoxi cooked dinner today. Everyone, please try it." Seeing that Mrs. Pang could accept their lifestyle here, Gu He stood up and called out.
The host called for dinner and everyone started eating.
Gu Xiaoxi came over with a cup and sat down next to the old patriarch.
When the old patriarch Gu saw the girl, he grinned happily: "Girl, you haven't had a drink with me for a long time."
"Come on, come on, you can only drink one glass. The old patriarch needs to take good care of his body so that he won't catch a cold easily in winter." Gu Xiaoxi said as he drank the wine in the glass.
After drinking, without waiting for the old patriarch Gu to drink, he took his pulse first.
People have many health problems when they get old. After taking the pulse, she had a rough idea in her mind and let the old patriarch continue drinking.
"Uncle Yuntian, the old patriarch can't drink too much now. After this cup, he can't drink tonight. He needs to wait for some time to recuperate.
I'll have Qiu Shuang bring the medicine to you tomorrow. Just take it on time for a while." Gu Xiaoxi instructed Uncle Yun Tian who was sitting next to him.
"Okay, I'll remember that. Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoxi!" Gu Yuntian thanked him gratefully.
"We are all family, let's not talk about this. By the way, it's time for Uncle Yunhai to propose marriage, right?" Gu Xiaoxi asked in a low voice.
Gu Yuntian immediately chirped, "Old Patriarch Xu told me about a girl in the village. She has two brothers who are both married, and she's a good person.
Xiaoxi, please ask someone to inquire for me. If there is no problem, we will consider proposing marriage."
"Okay, tell me the details about that girl." After Gu Xiaoxi finished speaking, she called Ying San over.
The two of them listened to what Gu Yuntian said and decided to go to the village tomorrow.
After hearing this, the two sat back down.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Zhang Shu started to toast the elders at each table, not acting like a rich young master at all.
"Go ahead. Zhang Shu is an easy guy to get along with. I guess you two have the same taste." Gu Xiaoxi looked at Chen Qinian and his eyes never left Zhang Shu tonight. If someone didn't know, they would think that this guy was interested in men.
"Then I'll go drink it too." When Chen Qinian heard Sister Xiaoxi say this, he couldn't wait to go up with the cup.
Ma Weiwei looked at Chen Qinian with disdain and said angrily, "I don't even know if he likes men or women?"
"Weiwei, it's normal for men to have romantic feelings and also want brotherhood. Come on, let's drink and ignore him." Gu Xiaoxi knew why Ma Weiwei was angry.
Ma Weiwei nodded and sat down with the cup in hand.
As soon as Ma Weiwei arrived, Min'er also came over. Together with Qiu Shuang and the others, the women at the table started drinking.
Seeing how happy these girls were, Concubine Pang also had a few drinks.
Nanny Yang was worried that her master had drunk too much, so she kept urging him to drink.
In the end, Concubine Pang was not persuaded and Ma Weiwei made her drink several cups of wine.
That night, both the master and the servant were drunk and they forgot how they got back.
Gu Xiaoxi’s alcohol tolerance is getting better and better, and it’s difficult for him to get drunk.
After dinner, the drunk people were sent away, leaving her and Sanshun and Sishun to clean up the kitchen.
There are many people and many dishes, but there are too many people drunk tonight.
Those who were not drunk were all elders, so Gu Xiaoxi simply sent everyone back and let the others deal with it.
Ye Lixuan didn't get enough sleep during the day, so he fell asleep on the table after drinking. In the end, he was carried back by Ying Er.
The next morning, no one in the village got up.
After Gu Xiaoxi got up, she went to the shop at the door and posted a note that read: Take a day off!
It was almost noon when Gu and the others finally got up one by one.
After lunch, Gu Xiaoxi and Ying San went to the village. In addition to inquiring about the girl that Uncle Yunhai had his eyes on, they also wanted to check on the medicinal seedlings.
But they didn’t expect that the boss across the street would dare to make trouble when they were closed for a day!
