"Thank you, Aunt Liu." Bai Meisha thanked her softly.

The Yun family and the others were very awkward when they first heard Widow Liu addressing them. Widow Liu was not allowed to call them that, but Widow Liu, the mother and son, were so stubborn. No matter how much they tried to persuade them, they would not change their words. , I got used to it after a few days.

Seeing Mancang and Liu Bao sitting at the table like this, Bo Beibei frowned slightly and said, "Your hands smell like fish, wash your hands before eating."

Mancang knew that his sister was very clean, so he took Liu Bao to the beach to wash his hands before sitting back at the table.

Bai Dinghai, Bai Dinglang and others went home after dinner. Widow Liu had just washed the dishes when she saw two people coming to the tea shed, each leading a horse.

Widow Liu thought it was a visitor, so she rushed out to greet her. She saw that one of them was a man who came to pick up thousands of sheets at noon every day, and she didn't recognize the other one.

Widow Liu came forward and asked a few words before she knew that one of them was the shopkeeper of the restaurant in the county seat.

"Miss, you're from the restaurant." Widow Liu said to Bai Beibei as she entered the tea shed.

Bai Beibei had already seen shopkeeper Sun's figure, but she was not in a hurry to go out, because she saw shopkeeper Sun's gaze fell on the vats outside the tea shed, and she couldn't help but twitched her lower lip slightly: "Aunt Liu, I knew."

After waiting for a long time, Bo Beibei walked out slowly, seeing that shopkeeper Sun had no intention of entering the tea shed.

"Did shopkeeper Sun not come in because he disliked the shabbiness of my house?" Bai Beibei joked deliberately.

Shopkeeper Sun came back to his senses when he heard Bo Beibei's voice, and said with a smile: "Miss Beibei really likes to joke, who doesn't know that you can't take a cruise without a reservation. Get out."

"It's a pity that the weather is cold, and now there are no tourists." Bo Beibei said helplessly.

"It's the end of the year now, and everyone is busy preparing for the New Year. There will be guests after the New Year." Shopkeeper Sun knew that Bai Beibei was just talking casually, so he followed her words to comfort her.

Bai Beibei smiled, didn't continue this topic, and invited shopkeeper Sun into the tea shed.

Bai Beibei introduced her mother, elder brother and Widow Liu to Shopkeeper Sun. Feng and Widow Sun exchanged greetings before going into the kitchen with Widow Liu to cook for Shopkeeper Sun. Haven't had lunch yet.

Liu Bao and Man Cang ran to the fish bucket outside the tea shed to watch the fish.

Just now when he came back from fishing, Bo Beibei taught his brother how to speak in front of shopkeeper Sun, so Bo Beibei just smiled and made tea, listening quietly to his brother talking to shopkeeper Sun.

Shopkeeper Sun glanced at Bai Beibei who was cooking tea elegantly, and felt a very weird feeling, but he couldn't say exactly what it felt like.

Shopkeeper Sun saw that the two brothers and sisters didn't talk about business matters, so he could only ask straight to the point: "Brother Manchuan, Miss Beibei, I don't know why you asked me to come here?"

It will take more than half a day for the county to get here quickly. He can't stay here for too long. It's better to discuss things quickly.

"Shopkeeper Sun, I heard from my sister that you gave my sister a contract for long-term cooperation?" Bai Manchuan asked.

Shopkeeper Sun was overjoyed, and he knew that they came to him for this matter.

"That's right, I intend to cooperate with you for a long time, but Miss Beibei didn't agree." Shopkeeper Sun said calmly, guessing that the siblings must have changed their minds.

"To tell the truth, Shopkeeper Sun, it's not that my sister disagrees, but I disagree." Bai Manchuan said with a serious expression.

Shopkeeper Sun paused and asked, "I don't know why Brother Manchuan disagrees?"

Bai Manchuan frowned. His sister told him to lie, but he really couldn't tell.

In Shopkeeper Sun's eyes, Bai Manchuan's expression turned into a look of concern, and he said anxiously, "Brother Manchuan, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Bo Beibei frowned, kicked him under the table, and Man Chuan was forced to say: "Shopkeeper Sun, it's like this, I have a friend in the capital, he said he wanted to open a restaurant in the capital, he knew I Mother's thousand recipes are not passed on to the outside world, so I want to invite my mother to work as a cook in his restaurant..."

"What?!" Shopkeeper Sun's face changed, and he hurriedly interrupted Bai Manchuan: "How did this happen?"

After finishing speaking, he seemed to feel that he was being too abrupt again, and quickly explained: "I mean the capital is so far away, it's not a good background for Lingtang to leave his hometown."

Since Bo Beibei sold thousands of sheets to Hongfu Restaurant, the restaurant's turnover has skyrocketed. Some people are trying to get a new taste, and some are out of face. The restaurant is full every day. He just wrote a letter yesterday to tell his boss the good news , if the business is cut off at this time, the restaurant will definitely plummet, so how can he face the boss?

Bo Beibei lowered her eyes, hiding the smile in her eyes. This shopkeeper Sun looks shrewd and sophisticated, why is he so impatient?
"That's what I mean too. It's just that my friend refused to give up. It's precisely because of this that my sister dared not sign the contract with you."

Hearing this, shopkeeper Sun looked suspiciously at Bai Manchuan, who was frowning, and then at Bai Beibei, who had a calm face, feeling vaguely cheated.

Could it be that these two people said this to raise the price?

Thinking about two days ago, the person who came to pick up the thousand sheets also said that the girl invited him to come to talk about something, and shopkeeper Sun became more firm in his mind. These two people must want to raise the price of the thousand sheets, or they would just say no to sell Just give Qianzhang to him, why bother to let him go.

A thousand pieces of roasted pork in the restaurant has already risen to 20 taels of silver, even if the two people raise the price again, he can accept it, but he will not let go easily.

But this Bai Manchuan didn't directly say that he wanted to raise the price, but only said that his friend wanted to invite his mother to the capital. How should he get back on the topic?

Bai Beibei put the brewed tea in front of Shopkeeper Sun, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Sun, our house is full of rough tea, please don't hold it against Shopkeeper Sun."

"How come?" Shopkeeper Sun picked up the tea and took a sip thoughtfully.

Shopkeeper Sun was still thinking about how to speak, when he smelled a scent, looked sideways, and saw that Mrs. Feng and Widow Liu had already brought out the food, and the dishes and chopsticks were also set.

"Shopkeeper Sun, eat first, and drink tea after you eat." Bai Beibei said with a chuckle.

Shopkeeper Sun stared at the crystal-clear dumplings, green vegetables, braised octopus in sauce, thousands of pieces of shredded pork and a big-bone radish soup on the table. These dishes looked ordinary, but Shopkeeper Sun had a very keen sense of taste. Just smelling the aroma of these dishes I knew it must be delicious.

"Then respect is worse than obedience." Shopkeeper Sun called the companion who was guarding outside the tea shed to eat together.

Shopkeeper Sun picked up a dumpling and took a bite, only to find that it was a chive mackerel dumpling. Thinking about the buckets of rare deep-sea fish outside, his thoughts turned back and forth.
