Chapter 431 The Abnormality of Sixi
The sun was shining brightly in the afternoon.
Wan Qiqi leaned against the window of the empty private room, staring blankly at the closed "Guests from All Directions" sign.
She could understand Fang Ziming's actions.
If the people are discussing not the magistrate's actions, but a restaurant run by a woman, then it must be the magistrate's failure.
His achievements are actually less than those of a woman!
Although there were no explicit regulations from the government prohibiting women from engaging in business, and many people were wary of it.
When the restaurant opened, it actually used the gimmick of a woman running a restaurant.
She did this because she was confident in her cooking skills.
If someone were to imitate this, the outcome would be unknown.
However, one thing is certain: the original balance of male superiority and female inferiority will be broken, and estrangement and conflict will arise between husband and wife.
Not everyone is like Chen Yongnian, who can accept his wife appearing in public.
Not everyone can have Wan Qiqi's golden touch, able to come up with novel ideas and gain the world's acceptance of her as the boss.
If the woman's business dealings cause chaos in Yunhe County, then he, as the county magistrate, will be the first to be punished.
Even those who follow suit will be severely punished.
Wan Qiqi knew that it was difficult for the world to accept women showing their faces in public, so she didn't intend to go all the way.
Sometimes, taking a step back is the best way to advance and lay a solid foundation for the future.
While she was lost in thought, Zhu Chengye had already reached the door. He stared at Wan Qiqi's back for a while and said, "You went out for a bit and then started spacing out again. Is there any new information about Young Master Tang?"
Wan Qiqi slowly turned around and said, "No, I was just tired and wanted to take a break, but I didn't expect to get caught!"
She smiled playfully, stretched, and asked, "Any problems with today's delivery?"
"No major problems, but it's still a bit slow; the food containers aren't keeping the food warm enough." Zhu Chengye walked in and sat down.
Wan Qiqi's eyes darted around, and she asked, "Do we have any cotton here?"
"Cotton?" Zhu Chengye frowned slightly, as if he didn't understand what Wan Qiqi was saying.
"It's a kind of grass that grows soft white down after planting. That down can be stuffed into the lining of clothes, or made into cotton thread to weave cotton clothes..." Wan Qiqi tried her best to explain what it was based on her understanding.
She had actually seen cotton here before, but only once, and didn't know what it was called here.
Zhu Chengye also seemed unsure, and asked, "White sesame seeds?"
Neither of them could be sure that what they said was what the other wanted, so Zhu Chengye simply had the item bought and asked Wan Qiqi to confirm.
It was eventually determined that the two were talking about the same thing.
Wan Qiqi explained her plan to Zhu Chengye by emphasizing the practicality of the "white stack".
Since Gudah didn't have insulated bags or buckets, the cotton blankets, which protected the body from the cold, were certainly useful for keeping warm.
Zhu Chengye was initially somewhat bewildered, but then it was as if a blocked path had suddenly been opened up, revealing a bright and clear view ahead.
Although Wan Qiqi is a woman, her thoughts and ideas are unique and always catch people's attention.
With this solution in mind, Zhu Chengye immediately arranged for procurement to resolve the problem as quickly as possible.
After he finished speaking, Wan Qiqi instructed, "Brother Zhu, other restaurants will probably start copying our food delivery service. We should be careful, otherwise everyone will learn from us and we won't be anything special!"
Zhu Chengye hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement and chased after the person who had just left.
Si Xi returned from delivering food at this time, looking very tired and even pale.
She placed the empty food container next to the counter, slumped her head, and pressed her hand against her abdomen, looking somewhat uncomfortable.
"Sixi, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Erpang walked over and stared at Sixi for a long time.
"It's nothing, I probably ate something wrong, my stomach hurts a little." Sixi grinned, making his face look even paler!
Most girls start menstruating before the age of thirteen, and so did she.
Although it wasn't his first time here, the pain he endured was unbearable for Sixi.
She would rather be a man, so she wouldn't have to suffer such torment, than have to dress as a man.
She hated that she was a woman, because that's why she was looked down upon.
"Huh? You're sick? Are you alright?" Erpang's voice was a little loud, attracting the other guys over as well.
"Sixi, don't push yourself when you're sick. You need to get better so you can earn money. Your grandma is waiting for you!"
"Yes! You're all sick, so it's okay if you make fewer trips. There are plenty of food delivery services now."
"Have you seen a doctor yet? You need to go see a doctor, don't delay!"
"..."
Si Xi was already in a bad mood, and being surrounded by people chattering away made her feel like her head was about to explode.
She frowned and said, "Alright! Don't I know? You guys have so much free time? It's so annoying!"
She's like a firecracker, ready to explode at the slightest touch.
Before the other workers could react, she turned and went into the backyard with a cold face.
"What does she mean? We're just trying to be nice to him, and this is how he acts? It's like we owe him something."
"Exactly! Heartless and ungrateful! They don't appreciate kindness!"
"Alright, alright! He's probably having some troubles. Let him have some peace and quiet!" Erpang patted his friend's arm and said with a smile, "Didn't the old saying go that we should be considerate of each other and not fight?"
"We didn't intend to argue with him; it was his attitude that was the problem!"
"Exactly! I've never seen anyone like this before!"
"Are you guys so free?" Xiao Liu's voice came from behind them.
Then, Xiao Liuzi stood beside them and said, "Although there aren't many customers right now, it's not good for you to be huddled together like this. If Manager Wan sees you when he comes down, he'll dock your wages!"
