The couple in the last days traveled to ancient times, farming and storing grain and meat in the war

"Let's not bother for now. I'll just eat two grilled sausages first. We can eat the rest when Ruoqing and the others come." Tao Cheng said.

He is a foodie, but he is definitely more restrained in front of his elders than in front of his classmates.

"That's fine, that's fine." The four people from the Tian family hurried to the sausage area, followed the sausage seller there and took a lot of freshly baked sausages, gave a plate to Tao Cheng, and gave quite a few to Zhang San and the servant Liu Jiu.

Normally, Jiang Ningning and the others would force food upon him, and Liu Jiu would eat it anyway because he couldn't avoid it. But now that his young master was present, he was even more timid and didn't dare to take it at all.

Zhang San also hurriedly thanked him, but did not dare to accept it.

It was Tao Cheng who spoke up, and the two of them took the call and went to eat.

Although Tao Cheng only wanted grilled sausages, and Tian and the others agreed verbally, the four of them still secretly selected some skewers and asked people in the backyard to grill them.

After it was baked, it was naturally served to Tao Cheng and others.

Three bowls of ice jelly with all the toppings were also served.

"Oh, thank you, uncle and aunt!" Tao Cheng was surprised and panicked. He quickly stood up and bowed to Tian and the others.

"No thanks, no thanks, just eat." Tian and the others urged, as if they were looking at their own children.

Tao Ben originally wanted to be more restrained, but the delicious food was piled in front of him. After being left out for a long time, it would definitely not be as delicious as it was at the beginning, so he naturally buried his head in the food.

He kept saying, "Delicious, delicious."

"If it tastes good, eat more." Seeing that the child liked it, the four Tians were very happy.

"Hmm." Tao Cheng continued eating without raising his head.

The four members of the Tian family were even happier.

By the time Xiao Yan and the others registered and came to the shop, Tao Cheng was already full and just happened to burp in front of them.

"belch……"

Xiao Yan, Xu Ji, and Xie Jing: "..."

Having never met their elders before, Xu Ji and Xie Jing naturally did not dare to sit down first. They hurried to the backyard with Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan to meet Tian and others.

"Hurry up and sit in the front, hurry up and sit in the front." The four Tians had just returned to the backyard. They figured Xu Ji and the others should have finished signing up and would be arriving soon, so they hurried to the backyard and had someone start grilling skewers for them.

This way, when Xu Ji and others arrive, they will be ready to eat.

But just as they arrived, Xu Ji and his group arrived.

Naturally, the four members of the Tian family hurriedly followed Xu Ji and the others to the front.

We were originally sitting on the first floor, but considering that there would be more and more guests soon, it would be more comfortable to sit on the second floor, so we moved to a window seat on the second floor.

If this were in another shop, there would be private rooms, after all, that shop was originally a restaurant.

But this shop doesn't have private rooms, so even if you sit on the second floor, it's no different from sitting in the lobby.

Jiang Ningning only stayed up there for a moment before coming down and standing behind the counter again. Manager Guo hadn't returned yet, so she had to temporarily take over as manager.

Xiao Yan had already noticed that Manager Guo was gone, so when he saw his wife coming down, he followed her down as well.

"Did something happen?" Xiao Yan asked quietly. The four Tians clearly knew nothing, otherwise they wouldn't have noticed that Manager Guo was gone.

Jiang Ningning then whispered the story and said, "Manager Guo has been gone for over an hour and hasn't returned yet. This shows that Manager Guo may not be able to resolve this matter."

Xiao Yan said, "Let's wait until Manager Guo comes back. Tao Dabao is right here. Since it's related to Tao's Ice Shop, no matter how big the matter is, just tell Tao Dabao."

"That's what I thought, so I didn't rush to say it. I wanted to figure out what was going on first."

As soon as Jiang Ningning finished speaking, she saw Manager Guo coming back wiping his sweat.

Next to Manager Guo was Manager Zhu, who was also wiping his sweat.

Shopkeeper Zhu came to check why the ice had not been delivered to his shop yet, but he met Shopkeeper Guo on the way. Then the two of them went to Tao's Ice Shop together and started to figure out what was going on and why they suddenly stopped selling ice to Jiang Xiao's BBQ Shop.

Now that things have been clarified, they naturally hurried back.

Seeing the solemn expressions of Shopkeepers Guo and Zhu, Jiang Ningning was even more certain that there were some problems that these two shopkeepers could not solve.

"Master Yan is here too!" Shopkeepers Guo and Zhu first greeted Xiao Yan, and then Shopkeeper Guo told them what he had learned:

“Originally, the people at Tao’s Ice Shop didn’t explain what was going on, and just said they wouldn’t sell ice to our shop anymore.

We didn't even see Manager Yao from Tao's Ice Shop.

It made us wait for a long time.

Later, we secretly gave some silver to a clerk in the ice shop, and the clerk secretly told us that our shop's business was too good, so we offended people.

The person I offended happened to be Manager Yao from the ice shop... cough... cough cough..."

However, because he spoke too quickly, Manager Guo was choked by his own words and started coughing continuously.

To avoid delaying the matter, Shopkeeper Zhu quickly took over and continued to report the matter:

"The person I offended happened to be the cousin of Manager Yao from the Ice Shop.

That cousin also opened a barbecue shop in this county a while ago, but the shop is much smaller than ours, and the barbecue is not as delicious as ours, so the business is naturally not very good.

Seeing that our business was still so good, the cousin naturally complained to his cousin, Manager Yao, and asked him not to sell ice to our shop and to make things difficult for us.

We also heard from the clerk that recently those who sell iced drinks in the county have been coming to the ice shop to look for Manager Yao.

The clerk also overheard that the owner of an ice drink shop mentioned our ice jelly and the new drinks recently launched in our shop, and seemed to have given money to Manager Yao.

I guess those selling iced drinks are jealous of our good business, which is why this happened.

The guy suggested that we secretly give some money to Manager Yao and the matter would be over.

But we waited for a long time, and Manager Yao still didn't want to see us. We thought that he was determined to make our business difficult and there would not be much room for maneuver, so we hurried back.

Master Ningning, what do you think we should do about this?"

Although Xiao Yan was also present, both the shopkeepers Zhu and Guo knew that their boss Yan was studying and was the top scholar, preparing for the provincial examination in August. Almost all business matters were decided by their boss Ningning.

"The people we sent out to buy ice haven't returned yet, and we don't know what's going on." Shopkeepers Zhu and Guo continued. "All the ice sellers in the towns of Dengping County are from the Tao family's ice shops. No one else is selling ice.

If those ice shops refuse to sell ice to us, we will have to go to the next county to buy it, which will undoubtedly increase our costs and be inconvenient.

It’s so hot, a lot of the ice will definitely melt on the way home.”

Jiang Ningning said, "The person who bought ice hasn't come back yet. He must have gone to the next county to buy ice. However, we should still be able to buy ice at Tao's Ice Shop in the future."
