Chapter 192: Small Town Business
domineering.
Show off one's strength and dominance.
"Here comes the halberd bearer, sir, sir."
The reason why Wang Mazi's convoy suddenly stopped was entirely because they encountered a team of spearmen.
This group of spear-bearing men are from the imperial court and belong to the Grand Council. Even though they are military marquises, it is impossible for ordinary people in the local area to call on them.
This group of spear-bearers are the highest-ranking among the Jinwu Guards.
This group of people looked fierce and their eyes were particularly vicious.
"What are you doing? Where are you going?" the man asked sarcastically. Gu Feixue felt the voice sounded familiar and secretly peeked through the gap in the carriage. She immediately understood that this halberd-bearer had often been looking for them and harassing them.
At this moment, Yuchi She arrived and ordered strict checks on people coming and going.
"I'm sorry." The man holding the spear looked heroic and approached Gu Feixue's carriage at the whirlwind.
Wang Mazi was still sleeping, snoring loudly. The small purple clay teapot in his hand was tilted and tea flowed out like a stream.
There was complete silence.
All the horses are silent.
A servant saw that the master had fallen asleep and politely shook Wang Mazi's shoulder, "Master, Master."
Wang Mazi suddenly woke up.
Facing the group of fierce soldiers, Wang Mazi was not afraid at all. He moved his chubby body and glanced at the soldier opposite him with a smile, "Sir, are you going to check me out?"
"It's a routine inspection, and we're not going to miss anything. This is the order from above." The soldier clasped his fists.
Wang Mazi stood still like a mountain.
The soldier who looked like a general was also surprised. How could there be such an unyielding person? Several soldiers approached from all directions and surrounded the carriage in an instant.
Gu Feixue began to think of countermeasures.
Zhang Xueyue beside her said quietly, "Actually, I knew your identities a few days ago."
"You!" Gu Feixue gritted her teeth, "I've been helping you all this time. What? Are you going to repay me with evil?"
Gu Feixue thought that Zhang Xueyue was really as simple as she looked.
She could have anticipated the danger, but strangely she didn't notice anything at the moment.
"No!" She slowly took out a folded piece of paper from her sleeve. "When I saw you that day, I felt that you were her, but I'm not sure."
Gu Feixue made a simple disguise, but she didn't have time to deal with some details, so she was found out.
"I wasn't sure at first, but when I saw him..." Her eyes focused on Yuchi Shuo, "I realized you were the one they were looking for."
"Miss Gu, you have been helping me all along. For many years I lived like a clay dog and a clay chicken, in a daze. Now I understand that there are actually better days ahead of me, so I decided to help you."
Hearing this, Gu Feixue smiled gently.
Zhang Xueyue coughed and opened the car curtain.
The officer stared at her, "Who are those people in the carriage?"
"Men, women." Zhang Xueyue said.
The soldier obviously didn't expect Zhang Xueyue to answer like that. "You arrogant little bastard, how can you answer a question like that?"
Wang Mazi, standing next to him, was shocked. "Soldier, what's the difference between you and a beggar? Now it's your turn to show off your power? This is outrageous. What do I do for a living? And you still want to ask? You are blind."
As Wang Mazi spoke, he took out a jade pendant from his sleeve. The officer was aggressive at first, but soon became submissive.
"I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you, old man. I deserve to die."
"I don't want to embarrass you, and you don't want to mistreat us. I'll take the old man to the town to check out the business. We can have a drink when we have time."
The officers and soldiers looked timid but could only nod.
Wang Mazi's convoy continued to move forward.
Finally arrived at the shop.
This shop wasn't doing well at all, with few customers, while the business across the street was booming. Wang Mazi sighed, "Dad, look at what's going on here. Why is their business so booming while ours is struggling?"
"Eat and drink first, then I'll talk to you slowly."
Wang Mazi hurriedly brought over some food.
After his father and Gu Feixue had eaten their fill, Yuchi Shuo waved his hand and said, "You go out and wait. I'll make a plan here. You just need to wait."
Wang Mazi nodded.
He was afraid that others would interfere with the old man's train of thought, so he dismissed everyone outside.
At this moment, Yuchi Shuo looked at Gu Feixue and said, "Now, if Zhang Xueyue reports it, you and I will be finished."
"She won't." For some reason, Gu Feixue trusted her, and that trust was inexplicable.
She was most afraid that Yuchi Shuo would ask, "Why do you trust her so much?" As luck would have it, Yuchi Shuo did ask, "Why do you trust her so much?"
"Your Highness, have you forgotten?" Gu Feixue hit the nail on the head. "Your Highness trusted me so much back then. Now that times have changed, how can it be that I trust someone else so much?"
"You are different." Yuchi Shuo didn't expect Gu Feixue to talk to him like this.
"We are all women. It doesn't mean I have three mouths and she has four legs." Gu Feixue said this angrily.
Seeing that Gu Feixue was unhappy, Yuchi Shuo stopped talking about this and asked, "How did you bring his store back to life?"
"Simple!" Gu Feixue smiled, "We can hold a food competition."
"A food competition?" Yuchi Shuo looked at Gu Feixue. "I know you're a good cook, but what's the purpose of holding a food competition?"
"Let his shop become famous, and then design some dishes that no one has ever seen or heard of before."
Yuchi Shuo was not very familiar with this and could only nod.
In the afternoon, Yuchi Shuo told Wang Mazi about his idea of holding a food competition.
In reality, this was just a notification to Wang Mazi. Wang Mazi sighed, "Dad, we're already spending more than we earn. This inexplicable food competition will cost us a lot of money, but in the end, we'll get nothing. What should we do?"
"Just do it if I ask you to. You talk too much nonsense." Yuchi Shuo taught Wang Mazi a lesson on his behalf.
Wang Mazi was angry but dared not speak.
So, the food competition began.
As the competition was approaching, Gu Feixue started to make trouble.
"You can't show up in public that day. Just listen behind the screen. I also need Wang Mazi to produce the ownership certificate of his largest store as a gift."
"Flowerhead?" Yuchi Shuo frowned. "I'm afraid he won't agree."
Gu Feixue smiled, "I see he's like a grandson when he's with you. As long as you say it, how could he not be willing?"
In the afternoon, Yuchi Shuo told his plan.
Wang Mazi was a miser to begin with, and now when he heard that he was going to give away his shop as a bonus, he was not at all willing to do so.
