Chapter 248 Giving Gifts

Mr. Yang, the new county magistrate, and Wang, the county magistrate's wife, had been conducting secret inspections in Jixiang County for less than a month. Four or five new shops were added to Wang's dowry.

There was a teahouse that Xia Daohua secretly took a liking to, but was intercepted before she even made a move.

There is also a restaurant located on Baiwei Street, two streets away from Liuxiang Street. Most of the businesses on this street are restaurants and flower shops. In addition, there are some pawn shops, clothing stores, medical clinics, etc.

There is a wedding cake shop located on the edge of Jixiang County, very close to the suburbs. It sells some mid-range and low-end wedding cakes at very cheap prices.

The profit from this shop was good, but the original owner didn't want to sell it at first. It was Wang, the wife of the county magistrate, who bought it at a price that was 20% higher than the market price.

A shop selling the Four Treasures of the Study is located on Liuli Street in the inner city.

There is also a shop selling rouge and gouache, which is located on Liuxiang Street, about four or five storefronts away from "Daohuaxiang".

These news have aroused some attention in Jixiang County.

Ordinary people are concerned about how much dowry the Wang family has and how wealthy the aristocratic family is.

Do you live your life with gold rice bowls and gold chopsticks? Is the sedan made of gold, and is the saddle inlaid with gold and treasures? How many chickens and kilograms of meat do you need to eat in one meal...

The merchants are concerned about the style of the county magistrate and his wife. At first glance, it seems that they can be dealt with. If they want to visit and make an appointment, what gifts should they give? And who should they give them to?

But some powerful people think on another level:

The county magistrate and his wife seem to want to control the entire Jixiang County!

These stores cover almost all news channels.

Except for one brothel, all the ways to get information are available.

This brothel may not have been opened, but it may not be in the name of one's own family!

Soon, Mrs. Wang, the wife of the county magistrate, held several banquets, first entertaining the wives and young ladies of powerful families, and formally introduced her two daughters to the social circle of Jixiang County.

Immediately afterwards, the merchant's wife and young lady were invited.

Afterwards, a flower appreciation banquet was held. The guests invited included both powerful and noble families, businessmen, and even the family members of a few people who were not officials.

Xia Daohua once again saw the colorful sea of ​​flowers. She also met an acquaintance - He Lanyue.

When Xia Daohua saw He Lanyue, she couldn't help but think of Xie Fanglan.

It can be seen that He Lanyue and Xie Fanglan have a good relationship.

After the Xie family was convicted, He Lanyue fell ill. Looking at it now, the originally plump and plump little lady has almost become a paper figure.

She recognized Xia Daohua and was slightly surprised.

Xia Daohua smiled at her and nodded in greeting.

The two of them didn't talk much, and there was no conflict. Xia Daohua stayed quietly in the corner during the flower viewing party.

Instead of taking the initiative to make friends with young ladies of the same age, I tasted the Yang family's special maple dew tea and the Yang family's chef's craftsmanship seriously. I felt it was quite delicious.

After the banquet, Mrs. Wang kept the summer rice flowers.

Xia Daohua recalled it carefully, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with the souvenir she gave.

I just put together the candies, drinks, snacks produced by "Daohuaxiang" and a camera bonsai into a four-color gift.

It's pretty well-behaved and there shouldn't be any taboos.

The bonsai camera is waterproof and uses a pinhole camera. It is designed to be very hidden and clever. Even if they smash it, they may not find the gadget.

After realizing that she had nothing to worry about, Xia Daohua calmed down.

Then, the surprise came very suddenly - Mrs. Wang sincerely expressed her appreciation for Xia Daohua.

He is an independent householder, with the property in his own name. At a young age, even a child, he founded a store like Daohuaxiang, and there are so many mysterious sources of goods...

Wang's appreciation of summer rice flowers comes from the heart.

Xia Daohua felt the sincerity, kindness, appreciation, and love in Wang's eyes, and had a good impression of Wang.

But she didn't dare to really trust Wang.

Because Xie Fanglan had been very close to her before.

If Wulang hadn't been a decent man and hadn't fallen into her scheme, I don't know what the Xia family would be like at this time.

Looking at such a cute little girl like Xie Fanglan, who would have thought that beneath that friendly smile, there might be hidden evil intentions?

Xia Daohua kept smiling and answered Wang's questions quite appropriately. Wang noticed Xia Daohua's caution and was a little puzzled.

Could it be that this child feels shy in front of himself?

Or, any of the servants at home broke the rules and made the guests unhappy?

After giving Xia Daohua a beaded flower as a gift and introducing her two daughters to Xia Daohua, Wang saw that Xia Daohua was beginning to struggle with how to say goodbye politely, so Mrs. Wang considerately served tea to see off the guests.

Not long after, the new shopkeeper of Yang Ji Teahouse came to "Daohuaxiang" and purchased a large number of various snacks.

I just ask that it must be newly made and not old stock.

Xia Daohua nodded and accepted the order.

From then on, every morning, Erlang had to deliver a hundred snacks to the kitchen of Yang Kee Teahouse on time.

The items in Xia Daohua Supermarket are refreshed every day, and snacks are no exception.

Therefore, it can naturally be called new goods.

Although it's not freshly baked, it's not impossible if it's freshly baked.

Cake shops in supermarkets sell all kinds of Chinese and Western snacks. Many of them are steaming hot and fragrant, but the variety is not as complete as the snacks on supermarket shelves.

Erlang negotiated this order with Xia Daohua. He was very excited at first, thinking that his shop could catch the eye of the county magistrate; then he felt a little uneasy - he was worried that if the checkout was not timely, he would not be able to get it from the county magistrate.

Collect debts.

Xia Daohua smiled so hard that she lost sight of her teeth:

"Second brother, don't worry. I have a good reputation when buying a shop. Besides, I gave you a deposit."

Erlang smiled: "As long as you know what's going on."

Since marrying Zhou Yunniang, Erlang's every move has become calmer, and his smiles have increased a lot. There is no trace of the depression and gloominess he felt when he returned from injury.

Zhou Yunniang's children were a little repulsive and resistant to Erlang at first, but after getting along with him, they slowly accepted Erlang from the bottom of their hearts.

The Xia family also accepted the diligent and capable Zhou Yunniang.

Although Mrs. Sun couldn't help but frown every time she saw Zhou Yunniang's children.

It’s just that Erlang secretly told Sun countless times to treat Zhou Yunniang kindly, and especially emphasized that if she felt that her brows were frowning before speaking, she shouldn’t say anything...

Good night, sweet dreams, see you tomorrow. Love you, (づ ̄ 3 ̄)づ
