Chapter 247 Strike
It is no exaggeration to say that those Hu horses pulling the carts are of the same grade as the fine horses ridden by Li Gan's men.
Xia Daohua narrowed her eyes, looked carefully, and discovered that those carriages with sedan chairs also had hidden secrets.
The width and height of each vehicle are just within the acceptable range.
The carriage itself also ran extremely smoothly.
When they stopped, a beautiful woman dressed in pearls and emeralds got off the first car.
She has a slim waist, graceful figure, bright eyes, white teeth, and creamy skin. Even with a thick veil, it can't hide her beauty and grace. No matter how you look at her, she looks like the noble lady in a costume idol drama, a definite protagonist.
However, Xia Daohua noticed that she jumped off the carriage very lightly. She did not step on the footstool and got down easily. Her movements were very graceful and beautiful.
Could it be that this young lady has practiced it?
In the carriage at the back were two half-grown children, one about eight or nine years old, the other six or seven years old, both girls, wearing small delicate veils, and their movements were light and graceful.
A tall man in the uniform of a county magistrate walked over quickly, first said something to the beautiful woman with a smile, then walked quickly to the two children, picked up the smaller one with one hand, held the older one with the other hand, and turned around and walked towards the woman.
The family of four walked calmly into the county magistrate's residence behind the county government office.
The wet nurse, maids and other servants followed them in a large group, but they did not dare to follow too closely.
The servants and maids who got on and off the carriage at the back were busy, some driving the carriage, some moving things, but everyone was doing their own job and it was busy but not chaotic.
Xia Daohua observed for a while, until the new county magistrate's door closed and she could no longer see anything. Then she put down the tea in her hand with a sense of unsatisfaction.
After calling the talkative waiter over to collect the money, Xia Daohua strolled away leisurely.
She planned to go to the dental clinic first and say hello to the dental practitioners she was familiar with there. If the owner of this store went to the dental clinic to officially list the store, she could act quickly and buy the store.
Xia Daohua was even a little happy. She never expected that while watching the fun, she could also see a store that was pleasing to the eye and met her requirements.
It seems that I have been lucky recently!
She happily replied to Daohuaxiang, closed the door of the rest area at the back, took out her laptop, and checked the business of the store while she was away.
After watching several video records from different angles, Xia Daohua put away his laptop, stood up and went to the outer room to ask his men how business was going today.
The boys are all very honest. I don’t know if it’s because of their special backgrounds, but they have really good character.
Xia Daohua smiled with satisfaction, and looked at the boys with an increasingly "loving" gaze.
When the guys saw Xia Daohua's look, they all felt a little uneasy - why was the boss looking at them in such a strange way? Did I say something wrong just now?
Xia Daohua's good mood lasted less than three days before she was dealt a blow, which came from the new county magistrate and his wife, Wang.
The new county magistrate’s surname was Yang, and his wife’s surname was Wang. Both of them came from prominent families.
It is said that these two families have existed for more than a thousand years. Even the royal family members of the Great Chu Dynasty had to give them some face when meeting their patriarchs and direct descendants.
The county magistrate and his wife both liked to be particular about appearances. When it came to food, clothing, housing and transportation, they all liked to use the best, most exquisite, most novel and most high-end things.
These are actually good things.
Because of the hobbies and tastes of the new county magistrate and his wife, their family manager has already come to "Daohuaxiang" to buy items.
Their people bought several copies of almost every item in the store.
This business was the largest business that "Daohuaxiang" had obtained after Xia Daohua launched colorful wind chimes and several new flavors of rice dumplings before the Dragon Boat Festival, which really made Xia Daohua a lot of money.
However, the blow that Xia Daohua suffered was caused by this couple.
This wealthy couple bought the teahouse that Xia Daohua had taken a fancy to without saying a word.
The owner of the teahouse originally planned to wait and see what kind of person the new county magistrate was before making a decision. If the new county magistrate was a good official, he would still like to continue running the business.
However, the new county magistrate took a fancy to his teahouse and offered to pay a price 10% higher than the market price.
The owner is embarrassed not to sell it, but the most important thing is that he doesn’t dare to…
Thinking that he was not young anymore, he politely handed over the teahouse procedures to the county magistrate's manager, quietly packed his bags, and returned home with the money.
Xia Daohua didn't know about this at first. When she was strolling near the teahouse, she looked up and found that the sign had been changed. The original sign was gone, and it had become "Yang's Teahouse".
Upon further inquiry, I found out that it had been bought by the decisive and resolute county magistrate and his wife!
Normally, a county magistrate cannot engage in business...
But the county magistrate’s wife can manage her own dowry!
The county magistrate's wife wants to call the teahouse Yang's, and no one can interfere!
Xia Daohua found the talkative young man.
When the waiter met Xia Daohua, he happily told her how kind and righteous the new boss was - the new county magistrate and his wife were very wealthy, and not only did they keep most of the original staff of the teahouse, they also raised the salary of each of them!
This teahouse was never listed in the pawnshop and was sold directly.
Xia Daohua's original plan failed, so she naturally felt a little disappointed.
You are from a noble family, I don't envy you.
You are the protagonist, and I am not jealous.
But are you really that rich that you just buy things without saying anything?
Before I had the chance to bargain, you opened your mouth and directly raised the price by 10% above the market price!
This life is unbearable! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
The little storm man in Xia Daohua's heart has already turned around more than three hundred times, but still couldn't suppress the bitterness in her heart.
Fortunately, Xia Daohua is the type of person who won't let herself be sad for too long.
No matter it is sadness, troubles, loss or frustration, summer rice flowers can make it look handsome for no more than three seconds.
After angrily emptying a box of Haagen-Dazs, Xia Daohua's mood had calmed down a lot.
So, the little girl began to be optimistic again:
It seems that the new county magistrate and his wife are quite kind in their style of doing things.
People like this might be able to cooperate in the future.
However, we cannot draw conclusions easily and need to observe them further. At least we need to have close contact with them several times and have serious dealings with them several times before we can have a deeper understanding of the couple.
The opportunity that Xia Daohua had been waiting for soon came.
Painfully adjusting my schedule...
