Shopkeeper Ye took them into the restaurant.

Mrs. Ji is a good observer of people's eyes, and she immediately understood that Shopkeeper Ye was interested in her.

She had survived for so many years, and she immediately smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, this is my daughter-in-law. Our whole family is from Niutou Village on the edge of the city. We encountered these three tower fungi by chance on the mountain a few days ago.

This thing is a rare thing, and I just got lucky."

When Shopkeeper Ye heard that they were from Niutou Village, he took a high look at them.

The nearby village is Niutou Village. The villagers have the brightest minds and often come to the city to sell things. He has also met many people from Niutou Village here.

People in this village are not easy to fool.

Shopkeeper Ye's eyes suddenly shone with a hint of pity.

The bustle in the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is all for profit. He originally thought of lowering the price, but now it seems that it is not suitable.

Her eyes couldn't help but look at the three-tower mushroom in the basket behind Mrs. Ji. When Mrs. Ji saw him looking at him, she put the basket on the ground very wisely:

"Shopkeeper, these are all good things. Just take a look at them and keep them so that you won't be disappointed."

Naturally, this could not disappoint him. The three tower mushrooms were much better than those he harvested before. The ones he harvested before were small and had not yet bloomed. Now, these blooms are big and growing well.

Thinking that the son of the county magistrate's family loved to eat chicken soup stewed with three tower mushrooms, shopkeeper Ye didn't hesitate and directly set the price:

"The old man and your daughter-in-law are both cheerful people. Let's do it this way. I won't talk nonsense. You little three-tower mushroom with half a basket on your back can give you ten taels of silver. Do you think it's suitable?"

I'll be a good boy!

Ten taels of silver!

Ji Miaomiao's round eyes widened, making her look even cuter.

Mrs. Ji and Ye Qiuyun also looked overly surprised.

After Shopkeeper Ye said these words, he saw the two adults so happy and regretted that his price was too high. However, seeing how cute Ji Miaomiao was behind Ye Qiuyun, his face softened a bit.

This family's little daughter is about the same age as his family's little granddaughter, and she is just as cute and well-behaved. She loves the whole family, so he doesn't think it's such a pity.

At this time, Mrs. Ji also reacted and said repeatedly, "It's appropriate, the shopkeeper is a cheerful person!"

Shopkeeper Ye's expression softened even more after being praised in this way. Just then the waiter came over, and he asked the waiter to find the accountant and pay ten taels of silver to Mrs. Ji.

The waiter came over in a hurry.

But it takes time to get the money, and shopkeeper Ye happened to have nothing to do, so he stood with them in front of the hall.

Mrs. Ji calculated in her mind that she already had nearly twenty taels of silver, and now she would need another ten taels of silver. After all, her family would have thirty taels of wealth.

Don't underestimate these thirty taels.

In the countryside, six taels of silver can build a magnificent blue-tiled house. And with a blue-tiled house, only girls from good families are willing to marry. Families with sons at home have to build a new house, otherwise they will not have a wife.

.

Their family has five grandchildren.

Mrs. Ji calculated in her heart that even if there was no income in the future, her five grandsons would have enough money to build a house and marry a wife. The bulk of what was left to be saved would be the dowry for her little granddaughter.

Thinking of this, she looked at Ji Miaomiao, who was lying on Ye Qiuyun's back and rolling her eyes. When she saw Mrs. Ji looking at her, she gave her a toothless smile.

Mrs. Ji's heart was melted by the cuteness, and she looked at her granddaughter with great love.

With this granddaughter, she feels that her life is perfect. How can those brats be considerate? Her granddaughter has been caring since she was a child.

“Shopkeeper Ye, it’s not good, it’s not good—”

Just as Mrs. Ji stepped forward to tease her granddaughter, the waiter who had just hurried to find the cashier to pay the money came back in a hurry.

Mrs. Ji frowned, what does this mean? Is there no money left?

Her guess was shattered the next second.

The waiter quickly ran to Shopkeeper Ye and said anxiously,

"Shopkeeper Ye, I just walked to the front hall and I met the shopkeeper of the Qian family who told me that the batch of wine we ordered before was bought by the prince at a high price and he won't be able to make it for us for a while."

When Shopkeeper Ye heard this, he became angry and said: "Why did you give it to Mr. Wang first? We obviously decided this first! Mr. Liu will have a banquet tomorrow afternoon and we will need wine. What do you want me to give to Mr. Liu then?

?”

The waiter in the shop also looked panicked, "The shopkeeper of the Qian family said that the price given by the prince was twice as high as what we gave. He said that he was just a businessman, and of course he only wanted to make profits."

"Then you say we will spend twice as much money to buy him back." Shopkeeper Ye hurriedly stepped forward to take a look.

The waiter in the shop was really about to cry at this time: "But he said that what he promised Prince Wang this time was not to resell it. Prince Wang and others... they have already taken the wine away!"

"What?" Shopkeeper Ye's eyes widened and he almost lost his balance. The waiter gave him a hand. After he regained his footing, he took even bigger steps.

The two of them walked quickly and soon disappeared from the sight of Mrs. Ji and Ye Qiuyun.

"Let's go, let's go too."

Mrs. Ji hasn't got the money yet. If she doesn't follow this group of people, who can she find to get the ten taels of silver?

Besides...when Mrs. Ji heard about the wine, she had other plans in mind.

Ye Qiuyun had the same idea as her, and the two of them quickly followed.

A group of people watching the excitement had gathered in the front hall of the Huajian Restaurant. In the empty space in the middle stood a young man in fine clothes. This young man had a fat head, big ears, and a arrogant face. He looked like he was not an easy person to get along with.

.

This is Qian De, the head of Qian's Liquor Restaurant, the only restaurant in the city.

As soon as shopkeeper Ye and the waiter came out, they saw Qian De looking like a scoundrel, pointing at the outermost counting room and cursing:

"Your Huajian Restaurant offers such a low price, why don't you allow me to find another place? I'll inform you in advance, so I'm giving you face, but don't toast me and I'll be punished with a drink!"

After that, he sneered and said:

"The price offered by the prince is high, so of course I will give it to the prince! Don't try to make any friends with me, I won't accept this!"

The accountant was a white-faced scholar who simply could not deal with such a scoundrel. Being watched by so many people made his face turn red with anger, but he could not hold back a single word.

Shopkeeper Ye's heart sank immediately.

However, Chandler got even more serious and said arrogantly,

"I told you a long time ago that the price you offered is too low, but you insist on going your own way! I told you that our Qian family's wine is so good, there are many buyers."

"No, Mr. Wang has taken a liking to our family. I want to see if your restaurant can continue to open without providing Mr. Liu with wine for the banquet?"

The prince Wang and Mr Liu he mentioned were the sons of Wang Yuanwai and Liu Yuanwai respectively. Their fathers were sworn enemies, so they had been sworn enemies since birth. They would compete in everything, and this banquet was no exception.
