Xu Ziqing rolled her eyes and asked, "Does that little country girl think the price is too low and is deliberately trying to bargain with us?"
Wen Tong shook his head, his tone full of disdain, "I don't think so. It's more like they've never met before. They treat these two country bumpkins like their treasures, and they won't listen to anything. They're so petty."
"Are you giving up just like that?" Xu Ziqing asked softly.
Wen Tong sighed, "What else can we do if we can't come to an agreement? I've been trying to suggest that I invest in a restaurant in Guanzhou and let her invest in it with these two soup bases to get a share of the profits, but she refused to do it. She's really stupid."
"Forget it. Since the matter is not settled, I'll hurry back home. Otherwise, the boss and the old man will start to criticize me again while I'm away."
Seeing Wen Tong in a low mood, Xu Ziqing shook his shoulders coquettishly, "Oh, it's just two bowls of soup, you look so annoyed, let me find a way for you..."
In the second half of the night in autumn, the sky is dotted with stars and the bright moonlight is shining on the earth. Except for the lights from the hospital not far away, the whole street has fallen into sleep.
Two dark figures stood at the door of Shilixiang and wandered for a while. One of them took out a small gun from his pocket and put it into the crack of the door.
The wooden door bolt made an inaudible sound.
“Squeak, squeak~”
Inside the house, Qiao Jiangxin and others who had been busy all day were sleeping soundly.
The little fish that was dozing with its eyes squinted in the backyard suddenly opened its eyes, pricked up its ears to listen, then tilted its head and roared twice.
“Woof woof woof~”
It stretched out its claws and grabbed the backyard door.
In the room closest to the backyard, Taozi opened her eyes sleepily.
"What are you doing?"
Liu Axia turned over and muttered quietly, "It's the dog in the backyard. Go to sleep quickly. You have to get up soon."
Taozi turned sideways, closed her eyes, found a comfortable position and was about to fall asleep.
“Click~”
Although it was not slight, she seemed to hear something hitting the stool, and then the sound of the stool moving slightly.
She opened her eyes and sat up.
Then she got out of bed barefoot and walked outside step by step on tiptoe.
“Ziz~”
It was the sound of the lid of the iron bucket containing stewed soup being removed from the kitchen.
Taozi breathed a sigh of relief, went back to the bed, put on her shoes, and went out.
The two most important soups in the store were stewed in a large iron bucket on the coal stove before going to bed. She thought Qiao Jiangxin had gotten up to watch the fire or the soup.
"Sister Jiang Xin, it's still early..."
Before Taozi could finish her words, she saw in the moonlight a figure holding a flashlight and fishing something out of a large iron bucket.
The other party was also shocked when he saw the peach. He didn't care about the heat and picked up the soup packet and rushed out.
"Hurry up." He then took the lead and rushed out.
"Bang!!"
Taozi, who was standing at the door, was knocked to the ground by someone in front of her.
"What are you doing?" Taozi instantly got up and grabbed the leg of the person behind her.
The topic that Liu Axia had discussed with her in the past few days flashed through her mind, "If Jiang Xin sells the secret recipe of this soup, can this store continue to operate?"
Taozi opened her mouth and yelled, "Hurry up, there's a thief, he's stealing things!!!"
"Let go, let go." The man behind was grabbed by Taozi's foot. He was so anxious that he kicked her in the heart with his other foot.
The figure who was running in front saw that the one behind was not catching up, so he quickly turned back to help.
"Xiao Tao, hurry up."
