Rebirth of Herbal Food Shop

Jiang Musheng and Cheng Wen wanted to go down the mountain, so Yuanbei naturally wanted to follow, but Qiao Guannian didn't want him to go with him, and Jiang Musheng also saw it, so he let Yuanbei stay, since there was no use for him anyway.

Zhang Qi drove Jiang Musheng and Cheng Wen down the mountain in a truck "rumbling". When they arrived in the city, the two got out of the car. To be honest, Cheng Wen never suffered from motion sickness, but he had been in Zhang Qi's car. After getting in the car, I got this problem. Standing on the ground, I only felt my legs go weak, and my stomach was rolling and uncomfortable.

Zhang Qi said enthusiastically, "I'm going to Jishi to inquire, and I'll get some watermelons for my brothers to eat. Master Jiang and Master Cheng will get down to business first, and I'll come back to pick you up."

Jiang Musheng looked at Cheng Wen's appearance, and said: "Master Qi, let's get busy first, we don't know when we will go back, but this time we know the way, we can just go up the mountain by ourselves."

Zhang Qi said: "That's fine, if you finish your work later, come to the market to find me, let's go together!"

Jiang Musheng nodded, and then Zhang Qi got into the car, waved to them, and drove his truck away again.

Jiang Musheng first took Cheng Wen to the teahouse next to him to have a rest. After sitting for a while, Cheng Wen felt refreshed. The mountain road itself was bumpy. Zhang Qi kicked the oil and braked, no wonder Cheng Wen felt uncomfortable.

Jiang Musheng let him rest first, went to the antique shop next to him, and brought back an exquisite box.

Cheng Wen said, "What is this?"

Jiang Musheng patted the box lightly, and said: "This is a greeting. How can Guan Yang not pay a visit to Governor Xiang when he comes here? How can he not bring a greeting when he visits, otherwise it will appear insincere."

Cheng Wen said, "Who is this Governor Xiang?"

Jiang Musheng smiled, and didn't speak immediately, but settled the tea payment with the waiter, and left the teahouse with Cheng Wen.

The two walked side by side, and Jiang Musheng said: "Xiang Anmin is the governor of the Guanyang Autonomous Army. The division commander is surnamed Min, but he is just a hands-off shopkeeper. Most things are still decided by Xiang Anmin. Most of the military power of the Guanyang Army It is in the hands of Xiang Anmin. If you want to do business in Guanyang, Xiang Anmin must pay a visit, not to mention clearing the barrier."

Cheng Wen smiled and said, "So Boss Jiang was also afraid of officials?"

Jiang Musheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Businessmen are gray territories in this war-torn era. They have neither faction nor affiliation, just like I have talked with Miao Kai, but Xiang Anmin and I also have acquaintances. Well, Xiang Anmin was originally a good official, at least since he became the military governor, he has become much more stable than in previous years."

Xiang Anmin and his wife were still immersed in the matter of their son's return, when they suddenly saw a servant approaching and said, "Master, madam, Boss Jiang is here."

"Jiang Musheng?"

Xiang Anmin was a little surprised.

The servant said: "That's right. It's really Boss Jiang. Boss Jiang said that he came suddenly, so he didn't bring a greeting card."

Xiang Anmin stood up and said, "Hurry up, please come in soon, go to the main hall and serve tea first, I have to change my clothes, I can't be too shabby."

Jiang Musheng and Cheng Wen were invited to the main hall. The decoration in Xiang's mansion was not too luxurious, and there were not many servants along the way. The servant led them to the main hall, brought them fragrant tea, and said, "Boss Jiang, Boss Cheng, two Please wait a moment, the master will be here soon."

"It's work."

Jiang Musheng nodded politely and said something, the servant was very winking, and immediately retreated to the side politely.

Not long after, Xiang Anmin walked in. He was wearing a long brown coat. Seeing Jiang Musheng, he smiled and said, "Boss Jiang, I haven't come here for a long time. I didn't know when I came beforehand, so I can pick you up." You."

Jiang Musheng and Cheng Wen also stood up, and Xiang Anmin quickly asked them to sit down.

Jiang Musheng said: "You came here suddenly. When I came to Guanyang for business, I thought of you first, so I came here specially to pay a visit."

Xiang Anmin was also very polite, and said: "Boss Jiang is indeed a busy person, and it's hard to see you once, so don't rush away this time, by the way..."

He turned his head and said to the servant: "Let the young master come out, just say Boss Jiang is here, let him come over and say hello."

The servant responded and quickly entered the back hall.

Xiang Anmin saw Cheng Wen now, and said with a smile: "This must be Boss Cheng, I've heard of Boss Cheng's name before, a Wen Cuisine shop is really impressive, I don't know if you are interested in opening another Wen Cuisine in Guanyang Fang? If you are interested, I can also contribute a little bit."

Cheng Wen smiled and said, "You are too flattering."

While talking, the curtain in the back hall was quickly pulled up. A girl in foreign clothes poked her head out first, a little shy, and finally came out and said with a smile: "Father, I heard that there are guests coming." gone."

Xiang Anmin frowned, but said dotingly, "Why did Shu'er come out, where is your brother?"

Xiang Shu is Xiang Anmin's fourth daughter. She has a very lively personality. She has been receiving education abroad and has only recently returned to China. She secretly glanced at Jiang Musheng and said, "Brother is here."

After she finished speaking, she greeted Jiang Musheng and said, "Brother Jiang, do you still recognize me?"

Jiang Musheng smiled and said: "How could Jiang not recognize Fourth Miss."

Hearing that he still recognized her, Xiang Shu was a little shy, smiled and stopped talking.

Xiang Anmin nodded Xiang Shu, and said in a worried tone: "Oh, only Boss Jiang can control this wild girl. She's bluffing on weekdays, but when she sees Boss Jiang, she stops talking."

While they were talking, the curtain was opened again, and Xiang Qiu came out from inside.

After Xiang Qiu came out, he was obviously taken aback. He recognized Jiang Musheng, so he couldn't help clenching his fists. He returned to Guanyang to accept Miao Kai's mission, but he didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here. He wondered if it would mess him up plan.

Jiang Musheng often did business in the capital, so he knew Xiang Qiu naturally, but looking at him, he said, "This must be the young master of the Xiang family. He often hears about it, but he has never met him. Looking at it like this today, General Xiang But blessed."

Xiang Anmin has always been proud of his son. Even if Xiang Qiu went against his will and went to the capital to join the government army, in fact Xiang Anmin has always been proud of Xiang Qiu. At least his son is better than himself, and he will fight for it. For his own beliefs, Xiang Anmin actually felt uncomfortable when he saw Xiang Qiu return home.

Hearing Jiang Musheng praise his son so much, Xiang Anmin was very grateful, and said with a smile: "Boss Jiang, don't talk about him like that, be careful that young people are arrogant. Boss Cheng looks about the same age as a dog. Boss Cheng is young He has already made a difference, unlike a child who has been doing nothing so far."

Xiang Anmin said, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, I almost forgot. There is a reception tonight, which is organized by Battalion Commander Fang. Many acquaintances are invited. Boss Jiang and Boss Cheng are here. Come and have fun with me."

"This……"

Jiang Musheng thought about it for a while. Receptions are not the specialty of the army. Most of the receptions are rich gentry and bosses in the business field. If Cheng Wen can go and have a look and expand his network, it will be very helpful to him in the future.

But Jiang Musheng showed hesitation and said, "I'm afraid it's not very good. After all, Second Master Cheng and I are also considered uninvited guests."

Xiang Anmin smiled and said, "What kind of unexpected guest is it? It should be a rare guest! Boss Jiang, don't worry!"

Xiang Shu also hoped that Jiang Musheng could stay for a while, so she quickly said, "Brother Jiang, let's go together, the reception is fun, there are people playing the violin, and some Western delicacies are rare in other places."

Xiang Anmin laughed and said, "Do you think Boss Jiang is as playful as you?"

Jiang Musheng glanced at Cheng Wen, then said, "Then it's disrespectful."

Xiang Anmin heard Jiang Musheng let go, and quickly said: "Well, Boss Jiang and Boss Cheng will take a rest first, and we will go there together in the evening. Qiu'er, quickly take Boss Jiang and Boss Cheng to the guest room to rest."

Xiang Qiu stood by the side from the beginning to the end without saying a word. He was not as lively and cheerful as Xiang Shu. When he heard Xiang Anmin's words, he answered and said, "This way please, both of you."

The three walked through the corridor and walked all the way to the inner courtyard. Xiang Qiu said: "The guest room is cleaned. Please call the servant if you have anything to do."

After he finished speaking, Jiang Musheng smiled and said, "I didn't expect to meet Captain Xiang here, let alone Captain Xiang is General Xiang's only son."

Xiang Qiu gave him a cold look.

Jiang Musheng didn't have any fear, and continued: "I heard that someone inquired about Xie Ran today, so it must be that Captain Xiang is inquiring about it, what does Marshal Miao mean?"

Xiang Qiu was very indifferent, and said, "Whether it's Marshal Miao's intention or not, Boss Jiang, please don't meddle in this matter."

After he finished speaking, he walked out of the house and walked away quickly without looking back.

Cheng Wen looked at Xiang Qiu's back, although he was not very clear about the various relationships in this world, but he still heard from Jiang Musheng that Miao Kai was a government army, and Xiang Anmin was obviously an autonomous army, so Xiang Qiu's identity was very sensitive Terrible.

Jiang Musheng sat down, poured a cup of tea for Cheng Wen, and said, "It seems that Guan Yang is going to be in trouble recently."

Cheng Wen also sat down, and before he had time to drink tea, he heard a knock on the door. Xiang Shu walked in, holding a small pot in his hand, and said shyly, "Brother Jiang, Boss Cheng, I have some coffee here. I brought it back from abroad."

As Xiang Shu said, she put the jar on the table, which contained coffee beans. After putting away the things, Xiang Shu said with some reluctance: "Brother Jiang, you rest first, let's go to the reception together tonight. Can dance, no... I don’t know if I can dance with Brother Jiang.”

After Xiang Shu finished speaking, without waiting for Jiang Musheng's reaction, she walked out the door in embarrassment and trotted away.

Jiang Musheng only felt his forehead twitch, and caught a glimpse of Cheng Wen looking at him with a smile.

While drinking tea, Cheng Wen picked up the coffee pot, shook it, and said with a smile, "General Xiang and Miss Xiang seem to regard you as a son-in-law."

"No son-in-law will work," Jiang Musheng said with a smile, "I'm the one who wants to be a father."

Cheng Wen glared at him, Jiang Musheng just didn't see it, and said, "Let's rest for a while, I'm still tired at night, and the people at the reception are not easy to deal with."

Cheng Wen didn't attend the banquet in his previous life, so he was no longer surprised by it, and didn't pay much attention to it.

In the evening, the servants of the Xiang family came to invite Jiang Mu Shengcheng Wen over. The Xiang family had their own car and a special driver, who was also a soldier in the army.

Xiang Anmin, Xiang Qiu, Xiang Shu, and Jiang Musheng Chengwen were exactly five people, and Xiang Qiu sat in the front co-pilot seat.

The seats in the back are two rows facing each other, very spacious and looks very luxurious.

Xiang Anmin asked Jiang Musheng to come in first, and after Jiang Musheng sat in, Xiang Shu rushed over suddenly and said with a smile, "I want to sit next to Big Brother Jiang!"

After speaking, he squeezed in and sat down next to Jiang Musheng.

Xiang Anmin said: "Shu'er, how can you be crazy in front of the guests, hurry up and sit opposite."

"no!"

As Xiang Shu spoke, she squeezed closer to Jiang Musheng, and said, "I'm going to sit with Brother Jiang."

Xiang Anmin smiled apologetically, and finally Cheng Wen and Xiang Anmin sat across from each other.

The venue of the reception was a foreign-funded hotel not far away. It looked very high-end, and there were a steady stream of cars parked at the door.

Everyone got out of the car and walked in together. As soon as they reached the door, they saw a middle-aged man in military uniform coming out and said with a smile, "Dr. Xiang! You are here!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Jiang Musheng at the side, couldn't help but look him up several times, and said, "This is... If I'm not mistaken, is this the well-known Jiang Musheng, Boss Jiang? Or is it because Governor Xiang has the face to be able to do it?" Please come to Boss Jiang, it will be full of splendor!"

This person who is very good at talking is naturally the battalion commander Xiang Anmin said.

Xiang Anmin said to Fang Battalion Commander: "This is Cheng Erye from Quanjiang, I think Fang Battalion Commander has heard of it."

Battalion Commander Fang nodded quickly, and said with a smile: "Of course I heard it, I heard it naturally, it's like thunder, hello, Second Master Cheng."

Cheng Wen looked at him nodding and bowing, and didn't know whether the other party had really heard his name or faked it.

Battalion Commander Fang led the crowd in. There were many people in foreign suits or suits, and there were also many officers in military uniforms with medals. The hotel was very grand, the place was huge, and the decoration was resplendent, which contrasted with Guan Yang's decadence. great.

Everyone walked in, and immediately became the focus. This is the place where Guanyang's high society gathers. Whether it's a businessman or a soldier, you can often hear Jiang Musheng's name. A businessman just wants to do business with Jiang Musheng. Business can be regarded as a celebrity.

The army is nothing more than wanting to pull Jiang Musheng to be a sponsor. With Boss Jiang coming to hemorrhage, and having money and military pay, they don't have to worry about fighting any battles.

Many people came to ask Jiang Musheng to be courteous, Jiang Musheng was afraid that Cheng Wen would be tired if he stood for too long, so he asked him to sit down and rest first.

As soon as Jiang Musheng left, Xiang Shu walked over quickly. She was different from the clothes she wore at Xiang's house. She changed into a formal western dress and evening dress. She still had a lively smile and held a goblet in her hand. come over.

Xiang Shu handed a glass of wine to Cheng Wen. Cheng Wen knew that he couldn't drink, so he just took it intentionally, but didn't drink it.

Xiang Shu sat down next to Cheng Wen, and said with a smile, "Second Master Cheng and Brother Jiang are very familiar. I've also heard about the food shop opened by Second Master Cheng. It seems that it is a joint venture with Brother Jiang?"

Cheng Wen realized that Xiang Shu had come to inquire about Jiang Musheng.

Cheng Wen said with a smile: "Business friendship is not as familiar as Miss Xiang and Boss Jiang."

Xiang Shu blushed, showing some bright and charming charm, and said bluntly: "Second Master Cheng, don't laugh at me... Actually, I can see that the relationship between Second Master Cheng and Boss Jiang is not a business relationship at all. "

When she said this, Cheng Wen's heart suddenly jumped, and he subconsciously looked at Xiang Shu, but it seemed that he was thinking too much. Xiang Shu's face was still as shy as before, and she smiled and said, "Brother Jiang, although he looks You are polite to everyone, but you can clearly distinguish what you like and what you don't like. I can tell that Brother Jiang is very kind to Second Master Cheng. I can't tell what is good. Anyway, your relationship must be good. ..."

Hearing what she said, Cheng Wen's heart skipped a beat again. He didn't expect Xiang Shu to see it.

Cheng Wen smiled pretentiously and said, "Maybe Cheng's personality compares with Boss Jiang's."

Xiang Shu talked for a long time, and finally got ready to get to the point, "Brother Cheng, Brother Jiang has been in Quanjiang recently, you heard that he has...does he like someone?"

Cheng Wen smiled knowingly, Xiang Shu's admiration for Jiang Musheng was already obvious, and she was finally ready to speak, but it was obvious that she asked the wrong person.

Cheng Wen deliberately lowered his voice, and said, "Miss Xiang is really asking the right person when she asks me."

"What's going on? Really... really have it?"

Xiang Shu's eyes widened all of a sudden, and she moved closer, nervously waiting for Cheng Wen's next words.

Cheng Wen said: "Boss Jiang is already in his thirties, but he doesn't have a wife and half a wife. Others say that Boss Jiang is not interested in this and is focused on business, but Ms. Xiang thinks about it, doesn't she think it's wrong? In fact, Jiang Musheng There is someone he likes, and he is so infatuated that he has never married."

Xiang Shu had a serious expression on her face, her eyes were wide open, tears were rolling, and Cheng Wen's forehead twitched, thinking that it was broken, she didn't say anything, the little girl was going to cry, if she knew this, she wouldn't say it Jiang Musheng has someone he likes, so he simply said that Jiang Musheng didn't want to marry him, maybe the situation will be better...

Xiang Shu was hit hard, took a deep breath, and said: "It turns out...it turned out to be such a thing. In fact, I have thought of it a long time ago. I really envy Brother Cheng. I can always be by his side as a friend.”

When Cheng Wen heard this sentence, no matter how he heard it, he felt that something was wrong. After Xiang Shu finished speaking, she left in a daze.

After Jiang Musheng was polite with the others, he turned his head and saw Xiang Shu walking away beside Cheng Wen, with an aggrieved expression on his face, thinking that something had happened.

Jiang Musheng walked over, took the goblet from Cheng Wen's hand and put it aside, and said, "Don't drink, be careful not to feel sick... What are you talking about with Miss Xiang?"

Cheng Wen looked up at him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said in a very serious tone: "I just told Miss Xiang that you would not lift, and then she walked away with an aggrieved face."

Jiang Musheng only felt a heavy twitch on his forehead, lowered his head, and quickly bit the tip of Cheng Wen's ear.

Cheng Wen's whole body felt like an electric shock, and he trembled in shock. The reception was full of people, so he never expected Jiang Musheng to do such a thing.

Jiang Musheng lowered his voice and laughed, "Am I... Aren't you the clearest?"

Cheng Wen stared at him and said, "Miss Xiang is looking this way."

Jiang Musheng looked like he hadn't done anything, and he drank the wine in Cheng Wen's cup naturally, and said with a smile: "The reception has just begun, and these old fritters are all asking for sponsors. If you are tired, you can let Someone will take you upstairs to the hotel to rest, if you are not tired, come with me to get to know these people, and you will definitely meet them when you do business in the future."

Cheng Wen and Jiang Musheng stood together, and soon many people came to curry favor with them, saying why Cheng Wen was a teenager.

Battalion Commander Fang made some remarks in the middle, but there was nothing practical to say. Cheng Wen followed Jiang Musheng to meet a few people. After staying at the reception for a long time, it was a bit boring, so Jiang Musheng asked him to go for a walk in the garden outside.

As soon as Cheng Wen walked to the door, a waiter opened the door respectfully for him. Cheng Wen walked out, took a breath of air, and immediately felt a lot more relaxed. His face was stiff.

There was no one in the garden behind the hotel, only a few cars were parked sporadically. Cheng Wen walked around casually, and saw a figure in front of him. He fixed his eyes and saw that it was Xiang Qiu, the young master of the Xiang family.

Xiang Qiu is also a government soldier and the only son of the Xiang family, so his identity is naturally sensitive. Cheng Wen didn't want to get involved in these matters, so he planned to avoid Xiang Qiu and go back.

Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly heard Xiang Qiu shout coldly, "Who?"

Suddenly, a black shadow jumped over the hotel wall, jumped down, and shot at Xiang Qiu. Xiang Qiu reacted quickly, dodged sideways, and immediately pulled out the gun from his waist.

The black figure paused for a moment, then snatched the gun from Xiang Qiu's hand in a split second, and then hit Xiang Qiu hard on the back of the neck with the handle of the gun. It was so fast and hard that Cheng Wen could almost hear "" bang".

Xiang Qiu lost consciousness immediately, and when he fell limply to the ground, he was grabbed by the black shadow and threw it on his shoulder like a sack. The black shadow was carrying a grown man on his shoulders, and he was able to jump over the wall with his hands and feet deftly. .

A series of actions was only in the blink of an eye. Although Cheng Wen could see clearly, he didn't react at all. Xiang Qiu is a qualified soldier, graduated from the military academy, and is a top student of the military academy. The reaction ability of this kind of soldier is very amazing. But the black shadow was even more nimble, even though Xiang Hao had a gun in his hand, he was subdued almost in one move.

Cheng Wen watched the black shadow carry Xiang Qiu over the fence, and only then did he realize his dream. His first reaction was not surprise, but surprise. The black shadow was clearly driving a truck to the market to buy watermelons, and was going back to the village. Chapter [-] for everyone to share...

Xiang Qiu was the person sent by Marshal Miao to come to Guan Yang as an undercover agent, so naturally he was the one who asked people to inquire about Xie Ran, presumably it was Zhang Qi who heard that it was Xiang Qiu who inquired, so the reckless came over and took him away up.

The Xiang family is a big family in Guanyang, not to mention that Xiang Anmin still has a lot of soldiers in his hands. If people know that his son has been taken away by bandits, wouldn't he want to meet with Yatoushan in arms.

Cheng Wen thought of this episode, so he turned around and walked back without stopping any longer.
