Chapter 56: Festival Moon
Tang Zheng and Wan Quan's expressions suddenly changed, with a flash of shock in their eyes: "Let crops grow in the fields?"
The most people here can do is plant some trees, but it takes at least three years for a tree to be made into tables and chairs.
If food could really be grown on this land, why would it be considered a bitter and cold place?
"Shopkeeper Su, are you kidding us?" Wan Quan couldn't help but question.
There is no way. Since his grandfather's generation, no one has been able to grow crops here.
Su Shengsheng just smiled and didn't care about their doubts. "Just think of it as a joke."
But for the sake of possible future cooperation, she still reminded him: "I plan to purchase a thousand shovels of land. I heard that buying more can be much cheaper."
Isn’t it cheap?
Large areas of land here are barren, and the government is worried about this. They are waiting for those who don't believe in evil to come and reclaim the land!
When Wan Quan saw that Tang Zheng arrived earlier than him, his doubts immediately dissipated a lot, and he thought that he was not the only one who had wild thoughts.
But he didn't expect that after listening for a long time, he got such a result. His mood suddenly became indescribable.
Seeing that they had lost interest in talking, Su Shengsheng raised her glass and said, "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! I wish you two great fortunes and good health to your families!"
Tang Zheng raised his glass thoughtfully and said, "On the day when Shopkeeper Su opens the new land, I will definitely go to support him."
Su Shengsheng smiled and said, "In that case, I will be waiting for your arrival."
Wan Quan was obviously not very interested in the farming activity and did not join in the fun.
Su Shengsheng saw the two shopkeepers off, and before she could turn around, she saw Xie Xuan coming towards her from afar.
When she saw him, he noticed her too.
At this time, Qing Ning and the other two were surrounded by the crowd, and it was too late for her to change someone to receive them.
Thinking of the many embarrassing moments before, Su Shengsheng's professional smile seemed a little unnatural.
"General."
Xie Xuan was already approaching, and she had no way to avoid him, so she could only go forward to meet him.
"Um."
All he got was a faint response.
The atmosphere became awkward again.
Su Shengsheng suppressed her discomfort and led the few people into the box.
Listening to the bustling sounds of Qingning distributing customers outside the window, Su Shengsheng suddenly realized something was strange.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Why did Xie Xuan come to Shixianglou instead of accompanying his family?
It turns out that rumors are unreliable!
When she shook her head, she heard Mu Ze ask her, "Miss Su disagrees?"
The moon tonight is particularly full and the night sky is clear.
The moonlight was bright and the stars were twinkling. When Su Shengsheng entered the room, she pushed open the window.
The noise outside rushed in.
Mu Ze knew that Xie Xuan liked quietness, but he couldn't say Su Shengsheng was making decisions on her own, so he said, "All you see is fame and fortune, so it's better not to look at it."
Su Shengsheng was a little distracted just now and didn't hear what Mu Ze said clearly. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?
Mu Ze was straightforward, and upon hearing this, he repeated, "I mean, all you see outside is fame and fortune, so it's better not to look at it."
Su Shengsheng paused for a moment, then looked out the window. "Isn't it true that fame and fortune are what we see when we think about them?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Ze opened his mouth but was speechless.
Chu Zhao glanced at Xie Xuan, who was looking out the window. Just as he was about to say something else, he heard him say to Su Shengsheng, who was about to close the window, "No need to close it."
Su Shengsheng immediately stopped what she was doing and stood aside.
She now regretted not explaining things clearly to the generals at the beginning.
As a result, every time they came, Aunt Xuwan didn't dare to come in, and she had to serve them personally.
She was just considering how to ask them to be more approachable when she heard Mu Ze ask, "Miss Su, are you planning to kick us out?"
I looked around for a long time but no food was served. I was so hungry!
Su Shengsheng smiled and said, "Today we have a wide variety of special dishes. Generals, please move over and choose some of your favorites."
Unexpectedly, just as she finished speaking, Xie Xuan said, "Just do it the same as last time."
Su Shengsheng's mouth was a little stiff, but she still agreed immediately.
As expected, Aunt Xuwan still didn't dare to come in, so she could only serve the dishes one by one herself.
Fortunately, all the embarrassment disappeared with the steaming pot.
The full moon was hanging high in the sky, and the crowd outside the window gradually dispersed to various shops, and the private room suddenly became quiet.
Xie Xuan said that it should be the same as last time, but Su Shengsheng couldn't just dismiss him casually, so she specially prepared some sweets and snacks such as egg tarts.
When there was laughter and chatter upstairs and downstairs in the Shixiang Building, a shrill and familiar voice suddenly came.
"Isn't it just silver? I have plenty of it." Fan Wenchang came upstairs with a swagger, fanning himself in the cold weather. "Go, let your shopkeeper come and serve me personally."
At this time, the wound on his face had healed. Because of the bet with Su Shengsheng, the Duke's Mansion was alarmed, and his timid father locked him up for a few days.
He was released today because it is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
When people heard that Su Shengsheng's Shixianglou was doing very well, the whole Tianqian Pass was in an uproar.
He was very unhappy, so he came to cause trouble.
But this time he hit an iron plate, no, an iron wall.
Looking at the two generals Heng and Ha walking out of the private room one after another, Fan Wenchang's face turned pale in an instant.
People at Tianqian Pass might not all know King Xuanming, but the two generals around Xie Xuan are well-known to everyone.
"Oh, why are you two here?" Fan Wenchang had already boasted, but now that everyone was watching, he couldn't afford to contradict himself. "Why aren't you two spending Mid-Autumn Festival with your families?"
"Are we familiar with you?" Mu Ze showed him no mercy. "We are here to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, naturally because there are people we don't want to see who are getting in the way."
Of course, this annoying person does not just refer to Fan Wenchang.
But he is undoubtedly the most annoying at this moment.
He ruined the good atmosphere.
Mu Ze's eyes were full of warnings, meaning that he should be smart and get out of here.
He had followed Xie Xuan in and out of the battlefield for more than ten years, and the murderous aura on his body was not something that Fan Wenchang, who had never even killed a chicken, could withstand.
When Fan Wenchang saw that the two generals Heng and Ha were guarding the door, he knew that the person sitting inside must be Xie Xuan, so he didn't dare to get close to him.
"I'm leaving now. I'm leaving now."
Of the two generals Heng and Ha beside Xie Xuan, one was always smiling, but the louder he laughed, the more people died, so he was called "Ha".
The other one always had a blank expression on his face and never said a word when killing people. The only sound he made was the screams left behind by the person under his knife, so he was called "Hun".
Therefore, people in the world call the two men the Heng and Ha generals.
As soon as they appeared, everyone in the store shut their mouths and didn't even dare to chew the food in their mouths.
He was afraid of making any noise and becoming an eyesore in Mu Ze's eyes.
In the private room, Xie Xuan asked, "Does he often come to the store to cause trouble?"
Su Shengsheng remembered his grandfather's words and said, "This is his first time coming to our shop. I believe he won't dare come again."
Xie Xuan's eyes flashed, and he looked at Su Shengsheng who was clueless, without saying anything else.
Mu Ze walked in and heard this, "If he dares to come again, Miss Su, just tell me, I will break his legs."
Su Shengsheng smiled and bowed, "Thank you, Generals."
At this time, the mutton had already boiled away. Mu Ze waved his hand casually and sat back in his seat. "It's a small matter."
Just as he picked up the chopsticks, he saw Su Shengsheng's maid walk in with a frightened look on her face.
His eyebrows raised, "That dandy boy really dares to come back?"
Xu Wan was already afraid of these murderous generals, and their conversation with swords and sabers just now made her even more frightened.
Xu Wan didn't expect that she was afraid of their expressions and would be misunderstood as Fan Wenchang turning back.
Xu Wan waved her hands hurriedly, but she was so anxious that she couldn't say anything.
Fortunately, Qing Ning came over to see what was going on and took over the conversation.
"Master Ji is here to take my young lady back to a family dinner."
Xie Xuan's gaze fell on Su Shengsheng's somewhat dazed face, and the cup in his hand slowly turned.
