After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

Chapter 105: Acting in the tableware store, 1 the boss panicked after hearing the story

It was morning, the shop had only been open for a few days, and there were few people on the street. In the tableware shop, two men were taking out a large iron pot and looking at it, and a woman with a vegetable basket was looking at a ceramic bowl. When the proprietress saw Ding Xirui coming in, she hurried forward to greet him.

"Ma'am, please come in and take a look around."

"it is good."

Ding Xirui imagined herself as a proud peacock, with her neck held high and eyes looking down, walking around the store. She curled her lips, frowned slightly, shook her head slightly, and muttered in a neither loud nor soft voice: "Hey, Qizhou City is better. Wait until Qizhou City is peaceful, and then have someone bring it back."

When the proprietress heard this, she felt a little bit of crisis and worried about this business. But she looked at Ding Xirui's clothes and didn't think he was a wealthy family that could often go to Qizhou City. She guessed it and walked up to him and said:

"Madam, the things in our store are all fired in our own kiln. Although it's not big, the master used to be a clerk in the official kiln in Qizhou City. His skills and workmanship are impeccable. The key is that ours are cheap. It's almost the New Year, and everything is on sale. If you like anything, just tell me."

When he heard the word "cheap", Ding Xirui's eyes moved slightly and his neck relaxed. The proprietress smiled in her heart, thinking that she had guessed it right. She mentioned Qizhou City or other stores just to negotiate the price.

"Really? I'm poorly-sighted and didn't really notice that." Ding Xirui said, but she had already stopped and began to stroke the porcelain bowl at hand.

"Madam, look at how thick this bowl is, it shows that the ingredients we use are real. Most of the things in Qizhou City look good, but they are not practical, and they are designed to fool those rich people."

"Oh? That's not necessarily true. The one in my family often helps the boss transport goods to Qizhou City. The things he brings back are all good, and the patterns and colors are also very good." Ding Xirui turned his head and glanced at the proprietress, with a bit of "arrogance" still on his face.

"Ours is definitely not bad, and it's much cheaper. Come over here and have a look." The proprietress had a smile on her face, but she was secretly complaining, "Hmph, why are you pretending? Maybe your man bought it on the street in the county, and he said he bought it in Qizhou City to coax you."

Ding Xirui walked over, picked up a porcelain plate, and said, "Hey, if Qizhou City wasn't in turmoil, with people being arrested and beheaded, and if there wasn't an epidemic, I would have gone with them to take a look."

Upon hearing this, the woman with the basket came closer, looking interested:

"Sister, what happened in Qizhou City? Who are you arresting and why are you beheading?"

Ding Xirui put down what he was holding, turned his head and said:

"Sister-in-law, you don't know yet, some time ago, Qizhou City arrested a group of corrupt officials and beheaded them. It was so scary."

When the woman heard the word "beheaded", her eyes widened, but she still couldn't help the gossiping heart burning in her body. If she heard this story, she would tell it to her neighbors for days. The two men who were a little further away also came closer, wanting to hear the details.

Li Yunru's mother had also heard about it when she was visiting relatives, but she didn't think it had anything to do with her at the time and didn't care. But at this moment, she felt a little disgusted. These two women were not looking at the things properly, but chatting about these trivial things. Wouldn't it delay her business? However, in order to maintain the relationship with the customer, she couldn't say anything, so she had to stand aside and wait to see if there was a suitable opportunity to interrupt.

The eldest sister-in-law stepped forward and asked, "Sister, what is going on?"

"It is said that the former governor of Qizhou City embezzled the money for river repair and framed others, causing the family to be ruined. Many years later, because some official money accidentally flowed into the market, the court tracked it down and caught the real culprit."

"Amitabha, God will punish evil with evil." said the sister-in-law, patting her chest.

"Yes, you say, how could those scholars do such evil things? Aren't they afraid of death, nor are they afraid of bringing trouble to their entire family?" Ding Xirui looked at his sister-in-law, and his peripheral vision secretly paid attention to the proprietress.

The proprietress was standing aside, wiping the goods. When she heard this, her expression changed slightly.

"Because of greed for money." The sister-in-law stretched out a finger, pointed in the direction of Qizhou City, and said.

"The governor was an official from outside the city, and no one knows what he did. It is said that many scholars in Qizhou city went to work as his aides." Ding Xirui continued.

"The scholars often say 'Books are the golden house'. If the 'house' is obtained through corruption, it will collapse sooner or later," said the eldest sister-in-law.

Suddenly, the boss's wife stopped working. She turned around and listened carefully to the conversation between Ding Xirui and the other person.

"Yes, no matter whether it is the chief secretary named Wang or the manager named Xu, no matter whether you are a scholar or a martial artist, if you embezzle the people's money, you will not have a good ending." Ding Xirui shook his head, picked up a small plate, pretended to be nonchalant, and said.

"Madam, you said there is a staff member named Wang?" The proprietress took a step closer, wondering if it was the bastard who hurt her before.

"There should be. I heard it from my husband. He said he had seen two people from the Governor's Mansion in a tavern before, Wang Changshi and Xu Guanshi. They were very familiar with the people in the tavern. I don't know if he was bragging. What's the matter, boss lady, do you know someone?" Ding Xirui pretended to be very interested.

"No, no." The proprietress's expression changed and she waved her hands repeatedly.

"That's good. There's nothing wrong for us ordinary people to live an ordinary life. But if we get involved with corrupt officials, we'll probably be in trouble," said Ding Xirui.

"Yes." The sister-in-law agreed and went back to pick out her things. The two men walked to the counter, paid and left, and the store returned to normal.

But the proprietress seemed a little abnormal. She did not continue to greet Ding Xirui, but walked quickly to the back hall, spread out paper and pen, and wrote a letter to her brother.

Ding Xirui lowered his head, smiled silently, picked out a set of ordinary tea sets, took it to the counter, and paid the bill.

Banxia and Nanxing were waiting for her at the wonton stall nearby. When they saw Ding Xirui bringing out the tea set, they quickly stood up to take it.

"Young Madam, let me take it." Nanxing stretched out his hand.

"Okay, here you go." Ding Xirui handed it over.

"Young Madam, is the boss lady good today?"

"I'm telling you, I bought this tea set myself. The lady boss was scared away by me and didn't have a chance to use her tricks at all."

"Really? How is that possible?" Nanxing was a little unconvinced.

"She has other things that she cares about more than the current business. As soon as she heard the story I told, she ran away in a hurry." Ding Xirui said with a smile.
