A ragged cub at the beginning

Large restaurants and wealthy families either have a fixed source of vegetables or their own farms, so the fact that vegetables are not available on the street has little impact on them. They may not even notice that there are no vegetables on the street.

Small restaurants suffered the most, as they could not buy food and had to close down. Ordinary families would be fine if they still had vegetables, but if they didn't, they could only buy meat.

All of a sudden, the braised meat shop was doing booming business.

Fang Yuanqin was not around and Dong Wanwan was unable to handle the situation on her own, so Tang Xu called Wang Hong and Wang Xiaoyun to help her, and the situation was finally stabilized.

She went home to check and found that Butler Qi had also heard that there was no vegetables on the street, but he told Tang Xu that his family had a farm and they were not short of vegetables.

As the sun sets, the crimson sunset dyes half the sky.

Madam Lu was leaning on the chaise longue, one hand on the small table, while her maid carefully applied nail polish to her hair. She looked up and saw her personal maid Lingyan coming back. "How is it? Did you close the kindergarten today and send the children back?"

Lingyan knelt on the ground and bowed her head respectfully, "No."

Mrs. Lu frowned, "What's going on?"

"She went to the market to buy it."

Madam Lu snorted, "Don't let those vegetable vendors enter the town tomorrow."

Lingyan frowned and whispered, "Madam, I'm afraid this won't work."

Mrs. Lu raised her hand and looked at the bright red on her nails. It was not much different from the sunset outside the window. She nodded with satisfaction and felt better. "Let someone buy all those vegetables. They are not worth much anyway."

"Yes."

On the first day, many people thought it was better to do less than more. Maybe someone was having a banquet at home, and eating some meat at home would be a way to replenish the body. Besides, there were also pickles.

The next day many people began to feel dissatisfied, especially those small restaurants that made a living by selling food. They had to pay the rent for a long time. There was only meat in the restaurant, but not everyone was willing to eat it.

By the third day, this dissatisfaction had exploded. Now they had to go outside the town to buy vegetables, which was a long way away. Not only was it tiring and heavy to bring back, but the vegetable vendors also took the opportunity to raise the price.

It was the height of autumn, and the vegetables bought by the Lu family filled up the yard, and they couldn't finish eating them. The vegetables, which couldn't be stored, were piled up together and squeezed, and soon began to rot and emit a foul smell.

Mrs. Lu frowned and asked Lingyan impatiently, "What's going on? The door is not closed yet?"

Lingyan lay on the ground, "No, Madam, they don't seem to be short of food. Even the lunch they ordered was not delayed."

"Waste! Useless thing! You can't even handle such a small matter! Who came up with this idea in the first place?" Mrs. Lu picked up a cup and threw it over. The tea that had just been served was still hot, and Lingyan shivered, but she didn't dare to hide. She could only crouch lower, hoping that the lady would have mercy on her and let her go.

"What's going on? Where does the bad smell in the house come from?" As soon as Mr. Lu walked into the backyard, he smelled a strange and disgusting smell.

Steward Lu bowed and replied, "In reply to the master, the madam bought a lot of vegetables these two days, and they may have gone bad."

Master Lu covered his nose and turned his head away in disgust. It was too smelly. He would sleep in the front yard today. "Why did she buy so many dishes? Is she having a banquet?"

"I haven't received any notice of the banquet."

"Go ask and get rid of this stinky thing quickly."

"Yes."

Mr. Lu slept alone all night in a restless mood. While he was having breakfast in the morning, he suddenly heard shouting outside.

“Why can’t I buy groceries?”

"Give us an explanation!"

"Give me an explanation! Give me an explanation!"

Mr. Lu, who was already irritable, threw away his chopsticks and said, "Butler, what's going on? What's going on outside?"

Butler Lu called someone over to ask, "It seems that... Madam bought all the vegetables in the town. Ordinary people can't buy them, so there was a commotion."

"What's going on! What on earth is she going to do?" Mr. Lu slammed the table.

Butler Lu sneered at the second butler's flattery to please the lady all day long. The fool had no idea who was in charge of the family. He considered his words and said, "Maybe the second butler and the lady ran into a wall last time when they went to Qingyang. Maybe they were upset, so they wanted to cause trouble for Qingyang."

"Idiot! Are you going to cause trouble for them or for yourself?" Mr. Lu stood up and walked back and forth twice. "Go, pick up those vegetables, take out the ones that are not bad, and give them directly to those people. Say a few words to comfort them and tell them to leave immediately."

"Yes." Butler Lu went to do it.

Mr. Lu covered his mouth and nose and came to Madam Lu's yard. Seeing that she was still drinking tea leisurely, he went up and slapped her in the face, "If you are stupid, just be honest! Look at what you have done!"

"Master! What did I do wrong!" Mrs. Lu was slapped to the ground, covering her face in a daze.

"Who gave you the idea? Who asked you to buy all the vegetables in town?" Mr. Lu pointed at her, his face full of anger.

Madam Lu shuddered and whispered, "Yes, it's the second housekeeper."

"Where are the people? Take the second butler away and beat him up. Sell him while he's still alive!" Master Lu ordered his attendants, and pointed at Madam Lu with his finger, "Behave yourself."

"Yes, yes..." Mrs. Lu responded repeatedly while sobbing softly.

Tang Xu stood on the outskirts of the crowd, originally wanting to watch the fun.

Unexpectedly, when Butler Lu came out, he apologized very sincerely, and then explained the reason why the family was preparing to hold a buffet, and he didn't expect to cause so much trouble to everyone. Now all the vegetables purchased in the past few days are given away for free, please come and pick them up one by one, just as an apology.

Don't hit someone who smiles at you, especially when it's something you take for free.

Everyone was skeptical until the Lu family brought out baskets of vegetables and really started distributing them for free. Everyone's anger immediately subsided, and after taking the vegetables, they even said a few good words to praise the Lu family.

Butler Lu stood there with a smile on his face, treating everyone equally.

Not interesting.

Tang Xu was about to turn around and go back when she suddenly felt a shadow rushing towards her. She subconsciously dodged to the side.

She was a middle-aged woman wearing cotton clothes, a little plump, with a kind face. But at this moment, she had a bitter face and looked pitiful. She looked at Tang Xu and said in a crying voice: "Daughter-in-law, just come back with me. It's ridiculous to run away just because of a quarrel."

"Who are you?" Tang Xu took a step back, feeling that this scene seemed familiar.

"Mom is wrong. I'm going to beat Zhuzi up when I get back, okay? We can talk about anything when we get back, okay? Be good." The old lady wanted to move forward, but Tang Xu stretched out his hand to stop her.

"Go back, husband and wife, quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed, what can't you talk about nicely."

"That's right, your mother-in-law has come to apologize, so don't take it too seriously."

"There's no such thing as overnight hatred among family members. Go back."

The people around listened to the woman's one-sided story and tried to make peace.

"I don't even know her." Tang Xu was not paying attention and was grabbed by the woman's arm. He didn't expect that she was very strong and couldn't break free after shaking her twice. "Let go, don't blame me for hitting you if you don't let go!"
