Chapter 713 What went wrong?
Zhang Qiuye was bent over in the carriage. The old woman felt sorry for Zhang Qiuye, whose half face was swollen like a hill.
She sighed secretly.
Zhang Qiuye stared at Ma Pozi with lifeless eyes, "Do you also feel pity for me?"
Ma Pozi shook her head first, then thought about it, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, so she said a few words of conscience, "Miss Zhang, although I am a servant, I am several decades older than you after all. There are some things I can't hold back in my heart.
You, don't take money too seriously.
From the moment your father asked you for money, you should have agreed to it.
In this way, not only will you be able to leave, but the things that happen later will not happen.
Including you getting beaten.
Think about it, isn't this true? If you had agreed from the beginning, you would still be beaten like this."
"You heard everything, why didn't you go in and save me?"
Ma Pozi chuckled and said, "This is all Miss Zhang's family affairs. How can a servant like me get involved?"
Zhang Qiuye just glanced at Ma Po and continued to curl up in the carriage in the same position.
When the carriage was about to reach Jinshui Town, Zhang Qiuye raised her head and said, "Mrs. Ma, I won't be going back to the Li Mansion today.
Forget it, there’s no need to tell the Li family. No one will care about me whether I go back or not.
Mrs. Ma, do you know why I value silver so much?"
“How should I know this?
I heard that Miss Zhang's life was not that difficult in the past.
But your sister, who has become the wife of a successful candidate in the imperial examination, is having a really hard time.
Now they are finally enjoying the fruits of their hardship.
However, although his life was hard in the past, he is a generous person.
Today I heard from the old sisters in the town that anyone who works in her embroidery workshop will receive a holiday benefit of two taels of silver during the New Year.
Two taels of silver! With so many people, how much money would it cost just to celebrate the New Year?
Come to think of it, this guy is quite generous.
Miss Zhang, you could learn from your sister."
Zhang Qiuye was already on the verge of collapse, and after hearing what Ma Pozi said, he almost went crazy. "Get out! Get off the carriage right now! I don't want to see you again."
Mrs. Ma was so frightened that she huddled in the corner of the carriage, complaining, "Are you really crazy?
There's no village in front of me, and no shop behind me. If you let the driver drop me off here, how am I supposed to get home?"
"That's your business, not mine.
Stop the car. Stop the car.
Didn’t you hear what I said?”
The driver outside not only did not stop the car, but drove even faster.
He was thinking to himself, she was beaten just now, and I felt sorry for her.
Now that I think about it, he deserved to be beaten. This guy is really cruel.
Leaving an old woman in such a place in such cold weather will surely cost her her life!
No, I have to go faster.
.
Zhang Juexia couldn't fall asleep in the middle of the night.
Ye Beixiu was also woken up by her.
She pestered Ye Beixiu to tell her about his hunting trips in the mountains.
Ye Beixiu was so annoyed by her that he picked out some less dangerous things to tell her.
"I don't believe it. If hunting is so easy, how could your leg be lame?"
"Danger isn't always there. Besides, there are more small animals in the mountains than big ones.
Whoever encounters it is lucky."
"If you were given the choice again, would you still go hunting in the mountains?"
“If I could meet you, I would definitely go.
However, my wife is already pregnant and our baby will be born soon.
I won’t go.”
"That's more like it. Well, what do you think Zhou Jiu's hot pot will taste like?"
"I don't know, we haven't tried it yet. I heard from Zhang Wei and Liu Qiang that the seats in the shop are already booked until February 2nd of next year."
"So popular?"
"We run a hot pot shop, so you know whether it's popular or not."
"That's right. What I want to know most now is how his hot pot tastes."
"Brother Liu Qiang sent me an invitation. I'll take you there tomorrow. Of course, I'll fulfill your wish."
It's still early tomorrow, go to bed quickly!"
"Um."
Zhang Juexia was racking his brains to figure out what went wrong in the shop, and he fell asleep while thinking.
The opening of Zhou Jiu's hotpot shop was very grand, with gongs and drums and a lion dance team invited.
When it was time for dinner, the shop was crowded inside and outside.
Fortunately, Ye Beixiu had the VIP invitation in his hand, so he and Zhang Juexia sat in the private room on the second floor.
Although Zhou Jiu's face darkened when the two of them entered, since they were doing business, everyone who entered was a guest.
He still forced a smile and led them to the private room on the second floor.
They originally went there to try the food, and since both of them were wealthy, they ordered everything Zhou Jiu's shop had.
The shopkeeper held the menu and asked Zhou Jiu, "Who are these two people? They ordered everything we have in the shop.
Not to mention the money, the two of them can't finish it!"
Zhou Jiu was also helpless. Everyone who came was a guest. It was the first day of his business, so he couldn't kick them out.
Besides, it’s a blessing that they didn’t come to smash your shop.
He waved his hand at the shopkeeper, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? People who spend money are not afraid, so why should we be afraid?
We serve whatever they order, and remember, generous portions to avoid criticism."
"knew."
After Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu finished ordering, Shopkeeper Yao, Shopkeeper Li, Zhang Wei, Liu Qiang, even Li Dong and Zhao Long, as well as several shopkeepers from other places who had long-term cooperation with Shengxia Embroidery Workshop, also came after hearing the news that Zhang Juexia was inviting them.
Seeing so many people arriving, the shopkeeper hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, he listened to the instructions, otherwise, he would be the one in trouble.
Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu pointed at a table full of food and said, "Everyone, eat as much as you can today! Make sure you're full!"
"The two bosses are really generous. Thank you very much."
The hot pot was boiling. Ye Beixiu stood up and started pouring the vegetables in. Shopkeeper Li wanted to take over, but Zhang Juexia held him back, "Just sit down and enjoy your meal!"
"Shopkeeper Li, my wife is right. You've been busy helping our shop for a year now, so it's only right that I take care of your meals."
"Shopkeeper Li, you are such a nice boss!"
Seeing that the ingredients in the pot were almost cooked, Zhang Juexia hurriedly called out to everyone, "Eat quickly, eat quickly, it's so cold, eating this is the most satisfying thing."
Zhang Juexia had been looking forward to hot pot for several days and finally got to taste it.
How should I describe the taste? Although it is a little different from her Suibian Hotpot, anyone who has never eaten Suibian Hotpot will say it is delicious.
In other words, the gap is not that big.
There is also a dipping sauce, all of which are sesame paste.
It’s just that the dipping sauce prepared by Zhang Juexia has a richer flavor.
Their food is a little bland now.
Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu looked at each other, both frowning and thinking, what went wrong?
