Mu Laosan looked at his second brother.

"Well..." Mu Laoer said with a smile, "I'm so sorry, we don't sell barbecue ingredients."

"This is the foundation of our business. If we sell it, we will all be left with nothing."

He had heard of Qingfeng Restaurant, which was the largest and best restaurant in town, and those who went there to eat were either rich or noble.

The manager expected to be rejected, but he was not discouraged. "You might as well think about it carefully. The price we offer will not be low."

Mu Laoer declined again, "I'm so sorry, our family relies on this to make a living."

The manager didn't force it anymore. He understood that this matter couldn't be rushed and had to be done slowly.

"Think about it. I'll come back in a few days."

After saying that, he left with his two men.

Leaving behind Gou Zi and others looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Uncle Mu..." Gou Zi just started to speak.

He was interrupted by Mu Laoer shaking his head, "Gouzi, if you have anything to say, let's go back and talk about it. There are too many people here."

"Let's buy some food and go back to clean up."

Gou Zi and his friends quickly packed up their things.

Mu Laosan took advantage of this opportunity and took his daughter to buy three meat buns.

After packing up, everyone carried their belongings in baskets and left the town, heading towards Xingzi Village.

As they got further away from the town, someone finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Mu Lao Er, you're not going to sell your barbecue ingredients, are you?"

"I think it's best not to sell. Selling is a temporary gain, but not selling is a long-term gain."

Mu Lao Er shouted, "You guys think too much. My brain is not confused, how could I sell barbecue ingredients?"

"But I'm worried that Qingfeng Restaurant will cause trouble for us because of this."

Mu Baobao, who was chewing a meat bun, asked vaguely, "Second Uncle, is Qingfeng Restaurant very good?"

Mu Lao Er wiped her greasy mouth with his sleeve and said, "Qingfeng Restaurant is the largest and best restaurant in town, and has connections with many families in town."

"If Qingfeng Restaurant plays dirty tricks, we'll be in trouble."

Gou Zi and others sighed.

"I heard that Qingfeng Restaurant has a good relationship with the county magistrate. Now, Qingfeng Restaurant has set its sights on our barbecue ingredients. What should we do with our business?"

"If it really doesn't work, Mu Lao Er, your family can just sell the barbecue ingredients. It's better than having your whole family threatened and in trouble."

Mu Baobao pouted and said unhappily, "Qingfeng Restaurant is bad."

Mu Lao Er said, "Baby, good and bad are not divided like this."

"Forget it, you are still young and don't understand these things."

He was thinking about the Qingfeng Restaurant. "Let's see what happens."

"If Qingfeng Restaurant really wants to use shady tactics, then we'll have to work harder and sell our products in nearby villages or even in towns a little further away."

Gouzi suddenly said, "Uncle Mu, should we ask Mr. Cheng and Doctor Deng to come out?"

"With Dr. Deng and Mr. Cheng stepping in, the matter will definitely be resolved."

Mu Lao Er frowned and said reproachfully, "Mr. Cheng and Doctor Deng have already helped us so much. We can't burden them with everything."

"Besides, we're still not sure what Qingfeng Restaurant is going to do."

The dog wanted to say something else.

The Zhang family got there first, "Gouzi, I understand you're worried about the impact on your business, but we can't bother Doctor Deng and Mr. Cheng over this."

"Doctor Deng and Mr. Cheng have helped us many times before. If we continue to trouble them for everything, what will it mean?"

The other two agreed.

"The Zhang family is right. Mr. Cheng and Doctor Deng have been kind to our village. If we were to be ungrateful, we would be worse than animals."

"Let's observe first. If Qingfeng Restaurant really wants to play dirty tricks, then we can think of a way."

Seeing this, Gou Zi was no longer worried or anxious but said nothing.

Mu Baobao kept this in mind and thought about finding her animal friends to go to Qingfeng Restaurant first, so that she could know a lot of things.

She has to maintain the barbecue business, which is the key to whether her family can build a new house.

"People in front, please make way and let the carriage pass." At this time, the sound of horse hooves was heard.

Mu Baobao looked sideways and saw several carriages behind them.

Mu Laosan and others quickly stepped aside and watched the carriage leave.

Gou Zi and his companions looked at the carriage with envy.

"Look at that horse, it's so handsome. If I could have a horse like this in the future, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."

"You're dreaming. I heard that a horse like this alone would cost at least ten taels of silver, not to mention the cost of the carriage and the horse."

"Whose house is this in town? Where are we going?"

"From the looks of it, it looks like he's going to our village. Maybe he's going to see Mr. Cheng and Doctor Deng. Haven't a lot of families been going to see Doctor Deng lately?"

Mu Baobao stared at the horses, his mind full of thoughts on how to buy horses. "Dad, can our family buy horses?"

Mu Lao San smiled helplessly, "Baby, we are farmers. Buying a horse is useless. It's better to buy a cow or a donkey, which can also help the family."

"Besides, a horse is very expensive and needs to be carefully cared for."

When Mu Baobao heard this, he felt a little regretful that he couldn't buy a horse. It would be great if his family could have a horse in the future.

When the group returned to the village, they heard the villagers at the entrance talking about several carriages entering the village.

"They all come to see Doctor Deng."

"From the looks of it, it seems there's a young lady in the car. Maybe she's going to be Dr. Deng's second wife."

Mu Baobao heard a new word and asked, "Dad, what is a second wife?"

Mu Laosan glared at the villagers who were talking nonsense, then said to Mu Baobao, "It's the second wife I married."

"Baby, don't listen to their nonsense. Doctor Deng is not that kind of person."

Mu Baobao uttered an "oh" before his little head finally turned around. "Dad, I need a master...what's a master?"

"It's Master's Wife." Mu Laosan carried her home, "Baby, don't worry about this matter. Doctor Deng will handle it himself."

Mu Baobao said, "Okay, Dad."

Several families separated at the entrance of the village.

The silver will be delivered to each household by Mu Laoer later to prevent it from being seen by villagers or people from other villages on the way and causing trouble.

As soon as Mu Baobao and the other two returned home, they saw Doctor Deng and Mr. Cheng sitting at the door of the main hall, chatting.

"Uncle, Master!" Baby Mu got down from his father's arms and ran to the two of them.

"Why are you here?"

Cheng Zishi first touched her hand to make sure she wasn't cold, then said, "Come here to get some quiet time."

"Dr. Deng and I slipped out through the back door. There were a bunch of people guarding the main gate. It was very annoying."

Doctor Deng groaned in anger, "Those people are like flies smelling meat, clinging to me shamelessly, hoping to get some benefits from me."

In the beginning, he hated these things after retiring, so he sneaked away from home.
