Miao'an's farming life

"Boss Bai, this is a wish from our master. Please take care of the book."

Lin Bo, the butler of the Mo family, bent over slightly, lowered his figure and said, raised his hand to signal the servant behind him to bring up the things and put them on the table.

Bai Li in the opposite seat looked at the stack of "hearts" and didn't answer. He raised one hand to rest on the armrest of the carved chair, touched his chin where the stubble had just appeared, and bent his slender pair of eyes with a smile. s eyes.

"Steward Lin, it's not that I don't give you this face. We are all in business, so we will help if we can. I really can't sell it to you this time. Or, why don't you try to buy it from another store and sell it?"

Lin Bo's beard trembled invisibly, bought it from another store?What would it be like to be slaughtered?Moreover, the opportunity to sell books is gone, and if you buy them from other bookstores at a high price, you can only make ends meet.The master is already in a hurry. If there is no progress this time... He squeezed his cuffs and said again: "Then Boss Bai must give a reason. We have always cooperated very well, so why didn't we suddenly sell it?"

Bai Li was still smiling, and shook his head: "It's not that it won't be sold, it's just that "Journey to the West" won't be sold. As for the reason, it was requested by the author, and I'm also very embarrassed."

"May I ask who the author is? Lin wants to visit in person."

"This...he came regularly to deliver manuscripts and covered his face with a cloth. I really don't know."

"Boss Bai thinks the benefits are not enough? The master is willing to increase the purchase price by [-]%."

"Butler Lin." Bai Li looked very embarrassed, "It's not about money, I really can't help."

At this point, Lin Bo already understood that there was nothing to ask from Bai Li's mouth, or he really didn't know, the author was really careful not to reveal his identity, or they had discussed it.In either case, he is doomed not to get the desired result.

"In that case, excuse me." Lin Bo saluted and was about to leave.

Bai Li hurriedly stopped him and asked him to take the things back.Lin Bo said that it was all in his heart, and there was absolutely no reason to take it back, but Bai Li was more stubborn than him, so he forced it to the boy and asked him to take it back.

After seeing off the Mo family, Bai Li sat back on the chair, picked up the still warm tea, and enjoyed it leisurely.The place where he sits is facing the door, which is the place for receiving guests. On the left is a desk and bookshelf, and on the right is a bead curtain, separating a small compartment.

The bead curtain moved slightly, revealing a furry head, it was Miao An.

"he's gone?"

"En." Bai Li nodded.

Miao An heaved a sigh of relief, and pulled Mo Su out, it was too dangerous, just now he was chatting with Bai Li, when suddenly someone came over and said that people from the Mo family were coming soon, so he had no choice but to hide, and even the conversation of his family was disturbed I heard it clearly.

"Tell me, how should you thank me?" Bai Li put down the celadon teacup in his hand, "I lost a fortune because of you."

"Come on." Miao An didn't take the bait, "Let me tell you how much you earned from this book first."

Bai Li laughed loudly when he heard the words, pointed at Miao An and said to Mo Su: "Look at your husband, he is so smart, be careful that he will sell you out someday."

Mo Su glanced at Miao An, raised his eyebrows and said, "No, I trust Xiao An."

Miao An also laughed, brushed the hair on his forehead, and said proudly: "Of course, you have to support Mo Su if you want to sell everything."

"Oh, you two are so affectionate in front of me, an old man, are you embarrassed?" Bai Li got angry, not like an uncle who has grown up with children, "To make amends, you two invite me to dinner , I heard that there is a very popular restaurant in Wuxi Town recently. What is it called..."

"Come again?" Mo Su said.

"Yes, yes, that's the one, how is it?"

"No problem." Mo Su nodded.

Seeing him like this, Bai Li couldn't help teasing: "Do you mean what you say? What if we go out to drink and he doesn't give you money?"

Mo Su turned his head, looked at Miao An eagerly, and Miao An held his forehead, Mo Su was really upright sometimes, and Bai Li was clearly teasing him, why did he look at him so seriously?He moved to Mo Su's side and hugged Mo Su's arm, and said to Bai Li: "What are you talking about, Mo Su manages the money in our family."

Bai Li just smiled and said nothing, but Mo Su was very happy. Of course he knew that Bai Li was joking, but he could get Fu Lang's protection by playing a little stupid, and he thought it was worth it in the form of announcing to everyone.

Two days later, it was almost noon, Wuxi Town, so I came to the restaurant again, and there was a lot of people talking.

The restaurant has been simply renovated once, and the new plaque with the name of the store is written in a grand and chic way, hanging high above, to welcome visitors from all over the place with a smile.The layout inside has not changed much compared to before, it is still a square table with long benches, but the placement has been slightly changed, and a few tables have been expanded.The names and information of the signature dishes are hung prominently on the wall, which is clear at a glance.

It was meal time, and the seats were crowded with people, and the voices of everyone calling for Xiao Er and the sound of Xiao Er serving food could be heard endlessly.Miao An, Mo Su, and Bai Li entered the door. Seeing the lively scene, they suddenly regretted why they didn't come earlier.

Xiao Er, who knew Miao An and Mo Su, immediately informed the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper came over with a smile after a while.

"It's Miao An and Mo Su, haven't they been here for a while? Dali has been nagging at me all day." Seeing Bai Li who was together behind him, the shopkeeper closed the topic, "Is there a guest today?"

Miao An secretly laughed, Dali was the chef who met him lately in cooking, his passion for cooking was burning like a real fire of samadhi, which cannot be extinguished by ordinary water.Every time he doesn't come to the restaurant for more than two weeks, he will definitely complain.But this time it's not to discuss the recipes, Miao An nodded and said: "Yes, this is the boss Bai Libai from Qingxi Town, come here today to treat him to a meal, the shopkeeper, please find a place."

The shopkeeper waved his hand boldly: "I didn't say anything, let's go, I will give you the whole private room."

With his domineering appearance and his tall body, several people laughed and followed the shopkeeper upstairs.

In the corner of the lobby, the grandfather who was sitting alone at a table looked at Miao An and the others' backs, thinking, isn't that the young master?Why are you with Bai Li?He still remembered that he went to look for Bai Li with the housekeeper two days ago, but he returned without success. Looking at it now, the young master seems to know this person very well?After a hasty meal, he hurried back to Mo Mansion and told the butler about it.

"Mo Su?" Mo Qingjiang showed surprise, "How could he know Bai Li? And go to dinner together?"

"It's indeed the young master." Lin Bo actually felt strange in his heart, but his face remained calm, "I'll come back and see it with my own eyes when I'm well."

"Hmph, everyone doesn't support their own business, so where should we go?" Mo Qingjiang said.

Originally, he was already very irritable because he didn't have a clue about the bookstore, but now that he added this, he couldn't help but feel even more depressed.Although the shopkeeper of Xiangmanlou has been asked to find ways to improve and improve more business, don't let Hao come to steal the limelight again, but there is no progress after asking several times.

Lin Bo was silent, it was obviously the master, you sent someone to go and find out again, okay?

"Tell me, how did they meet?"

"I heard that the young master sold Spring Festival couplets a few years ago, and the business was good. Maybe they need printing or something. There is only Bai Li's family in a few miles around, so we know each other." Lin Bo said.

Mo Qingjiang thought for a while, since they knew each other, they should have some friendship, maybe they could help.

The more Mr. Mo thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, so he asked Lin Bo to find Mo Su again. He originally wanted to call him over again, but after thinking about the stalemate every time they met, he finally gave up and only let Lin Bo Just represent yourself in the past.

"Would you like to bring something?" Lin Bo asked after deliberation.

"What to bring?" Mo Qingjiang didn't realize it for a while, did he still want to give something to Mo Su?However, since Lin Bo said, "Then take it. Tell him that you can discuss about Fulang again. Besides, if it is settled, you can also give him a shop."

Lin Bo agreed, sighed in his heart, and went down to prepare.

Here, the three of them were full and ready to leave.In order to show the sincerity of the treat, Miao An did not use a discount card when paying the bill, and spent a lot of money, always feeling a little pain when the money was out of hand.Bai Li was very satisfied with his meal. He tasted a lot of fresh food that he hadn't eaten before, and he was full of praise when he ate it.The two of them originally thought, or let him stay at home for one night first, and then go back tomorrow after sobering up, but Bai Li yelled that he was not drunk, and struggled to get on the return carriage.

Mo Su stood by the side of the street, watched the carriage gradually disappear, squinted his eyes and said, "What do you think he is in such a hurry to go back? Is he afraid of being scolded by my husband?"

"How is it possible." Miao An hooked Mo Su's shoulders and walked home, but felt that the gesture was a bit bold, so he changed to holding hands, "He still teased you for being afraid of Fu Lang."

Mo Su clenched his hand and curled the corners of his mouth, he was not afraid.

In the carriage, Bai Li, who was knocked dizzy and even more drunk, tugged at his collar, mumbled indistinctly: "I want to go home... oh, husband, I was wrong, I'll be there soon... ...Hi, um, right now..."

Miao An and Mo Su returned home, and just as they closed the door, they heard someone knocking. Miao An raised his eyebrows and said that it must be the housekeeper. Others don't have this way of calling the door.

Mo Su didn't speak, and opened the door, and it was Lin Bo standing outside, with something in his hand.

After entering the door and exchanging a few pleasantries, Lin Bo went straight to the point and explained the purpose of his visit. He asked Mo Su to intercede with Bai Li, and to get back the right to sell "Journey to the West", which also explained the benefits that Mr. Mo said.Mo Su and Miao An exchanged glances, saying that they would consider it, but he and Bai Li were not very familiar, so it was hard to say whether he would succeed.

Lin Bo knew that if Mo Su said that, he would definitely go to Bai Li, so he said a few more words about living a good life and left.

"What do you think?" After closing the door, Mo Su asked, looking at Miao An's eyes, he should have another idea.

When Miao An first heard Lin Bo say that Mo Su and Bai Li had friendship, his heart skipped a beat, he was careless, he was only focused on eating, and forgot about hiding his identity as the author, but fortunately, Father Mo gave him the excuse himself He's found it, and since he's thrown out the benefits, he'll keep going.

"Just tell Bai Li and sell it to him, but it will be delayed by three days compared to other bookstores."

It's worth it if you can use this to change a shop.

Hearing this, Mo Su couldn't help poking Miao An's forehead: "You are really shrewd, will you really sell me someday?

Miao An wrapped his arms around his waist with a smile, rubbed against Mo Su's chest, then lifted his chin, and said slowly: "It's already sold, sold it to me, come on, give me a smile."

Seeing that his husband Lang clearly wanted to look up at him, but still had to pretend to be a gentleman, Mo Su really laughed, and grabbed his hand and hugged him.

Slowly annexing the Mo family's business, he always had a complicated feeling in his heart.However, according to his understanding, if it is really handed over to Mo Hong, then the future of the Mo family will definitely be worrying. Since Miao An wants to get it, then he will cooperate, and in the end he will definitely not let his family do nothing.

The author has something to say: Mo Su's diary:

You actually said that I was afraid of husband?

Nonsense!

Every time, they agree to listen to me, and only listen to Xiaoan when they disagree.
