Fragrance Returned

Ding Zhuang had discussed this matter with Ding Xiang before. Ding Xiang always felt that Ding Shuniang was a good girl from the Ding family, and she was willing to help this family member.

The Guo family makes steamed buns, and they have done a good job over the years, and they are also smart.

As for the other Ding family members, whoever Grandpa and Dad think should be helped will be helped by themselves. Ding Xiang will not meddle in other people's business.

Ding Xiang said, Auntie, my family has no connections in the provincial capital, so I can't help you. In fact, it's better to be in Jiaozhou than in the provincial capital. There are thousands of navy troops stationed in Jiaozhou, as well as many merchants who buy seafood, and even many people who do it. For foreigners doing business, it is more prosperous and easier to make money than in the provincial capital, and we know more people there.

Open a bigger shop. Not only sell steamed buns, but also dumplings, wontons, noodles and other pasta, as well as some special dishes. Find a good port, make the store bigger and more beautiful, and get more new products...

A shop that sells food has no need for Zhu Qian and Deputy General Sun. As long as their housekeeper helps with a few words, no one dares to cause trouble.

After improving the taste, introduce some military customers, and there will be no bad business.

Uncle Guo was overjoyed and said with a smile, Don't tell me, they all said the dumplings and wontons I made were delicious, but the bun business at home was too busy, so I didn't do that business.

Ding Zhuang said, If you are too busy, bring in apprentices and hire small workers. If you want to open a restaurant, spend money to hire a chef. Only with big investment can you get big profits.

The last sentence was said by Xiangxiang Ai.

Ding Xiang also talked about some business methods based on some stores selling local specialty snacks in her previous life. For example, we sell a variety of Jiaodong’s most distinctive snacks and dishes, offering small portions and set meals. When you come to this restaurant, you can eat whatever you want. If you do well, you can open branches in other cities in the future...

After some discussion among several people, Guo Guo and Ding Shuniang decided to retain their own expertise and open a specialty store that mainly serves pasta and supplemented by stir-fries. Guo Guo and Guo Liang first went to Jiaozhou to prepare for opening a store. When the place was ready, Ding Shu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took their children there.

Ding Shuniang borrowed a thousand taels of silver from Ding Zhuang, and Ding Xiang wrote a letter to Zhu Qian in Ding Zhuang's tone. The couple happily left with the money and letter.

One afternoon half a month later, Ding Xiang came home from Tao's house. Ling'er was holding the bookcase with one hand and holding an umbrella to shade her little master from the sun with the other.

The sun was scorching in the sky, the heat wave was rolling, there was not a single cloud overhead, and the cicadas chirping on the trees were listless.

Heiwa stretched out his tongue and kept breathing heavily. Feifei is not here, he has already gone into the mountains to escape the heat.

As soon as they left Tao's house, they saw Ding Zhen running over.

Her face turned red with anxiety, and she pulled Ding Xiang and said, Sister Xiang, many clan members from Qiyuan Town came to your house to quarrel with the second grandfather and the second aunt, and said they wanted to eliminate the clan. The second aunt asked me to come and follow You said, don’t go home yet.”

Ding Xiang probably guessed the reason and ran towards home.

Ling'er hurriedly threw the umbrella on the ground, grabbed her and said, Sister, my wife won't let you go home, let's go to Tao's house to sit down first.

Ding Zhen also said, You won't be able to do anything if you go back, and you will make the second grandfather and the second uncle's mother worried. Uncle Hong, Xia Lizheng, the second uncle Xia, my grandma, the second ancestor of Nanquan Village, Uncle Shuanzi, and many others All the villagers have gone, and Second Grandpa is so powerful that he can’t bear the loss.”

Ding Xiang ignored Ding Zhen, knocked away Ling'er's hand and continued running home.

She knew that her grandfather and mother would not suffer, but she was still worried.

Hei Wa saw that his little master was unhappy, and they rushed home together with barking barks.

Ding Zhen did not dare to stop her, and followed beside her and said, Those tribesmen said that Second Grandpa was not honest. He would rather help the married girl, the daughter-in-law's natal family, and outsiders than help the tribe... Those people are also embarrassed, Second Grandpa Why didn't you help them? You still want to rob someone...

Ding Xiang's face tightened, she pursed her lips and ran forward quickly.

The ancient clan concept has its benefits. Blood is thicker than water. If everyone works together to deal with the outside world, they will live a better life and not be bullied by outsiders.

There are also many disadvantages, among which deprivation is the most common.

Whether a clan is prosperous or not depends on many aspects, such as whether the clan leader and elders are sensible, whether they can suppress the clan members, whether there are evil people or troublemakers in the clan, etc.

There are more than thirty Ding clan members in Qiyuan Town. I heard that some of them are powerful and domineering. I always feel that Ding Zhuang is taking advantage of others and not giving enough benefits to the clan.

However, Ding Zhuang had so many children and grandchildren that they couldn't take advantage of him. This time, they wanted to forcefully share some profits on the grounds that he helped outsiders but not the clansmen.

There are unscrupulous people in poor mountains and rivers. They are so courageous that they even dare to snatch things from Ding Hong's nose. Now Ding Zhao has become an official.

When Ding Xiang and others ran to Hui Ye Pavilion, they could see many villagers rushing towards her home from the fields.

Someone shouted, Someone went to shopkeeper Ding's house to make trouble, beat his mother...

Although Ding Zhuang has a bad temper, Ding Zhao is a good person and will take good care of the villagers after he becomes rich. Of course, the villagers with good relationships will help them.

There were faint sounds of crying from Ding Xiang's house, including Ding Zhuang's curses.

Ding Xiang was even more anxious.

When passing by the door of the third room, a man ran out and forced Ding Xiang in.

It's Ding Zhenniang, Mrs. Zhao. She and Ding Qin had already called the county shop to Xia Er's family, packed their things at home, and went to He County on the outskirts of Beijing to find Dingshan a few days later.

Mrs. Zhao hugged Dingxiang tightly and persuaded, It was my second sister-in-law who asked me to stop you. You can't go. It won't work and is in the way. If you don't pay attention and get hit by someone, your grandfather will kill someone if he gets anxious. What happened? It made a big fuss.”

Brother Hong is actually here. He said with a serious face, Be obedient, the old shopkeeper asked me to keep an eye on you here. My father and the others are all here, and someone has gone to Baotie to find someone again. The old shopkeeper can't suffer the loss. Hum. , a group of bosses who want money rather than their lives, and they also want to take the benefits of the old shopkeeper’s family.”

Lilac calmed down. If he is touched, grandpa may become angry and kill someone. Said, You can't cause trouble.

It's easy to injure or maim people, but you can't kill them.

Brother Hong said, My dad and the others are watching, no one will die.

Of course no one will die. After that, the one who started the trouble will either die or be disabled.

Ding Xiang sat in the yard and listened to the noise. There was a lot of noise outside.

Mrs. Zhao asked Ding Zhen to hold Ding Xiang and went out to take a look around.

Hundreds of people have gathered outside the door of the second room. You can't see inside the yard, you can only hear the noise and crying.

Ding Li, Ding Dafu, and Ding Youshou stood outside the crowd and did not dare to rush in.

Mrs. He was so angry that she pushed the man into the crowd and said through gritted teeth, Go in and protect the second grandpa. He is kind to our family. You see, the third wife is so old and has gone in, and the father-in-law and the third rich man have also gone in. Oh, if I hadn't been pregnant, I would have gone in to protect my second aunt...

Just say something like, If you take good care of your second grandfather, there will be many benefits.
