It's already afternoon now, Ruyi Zhai's business is pretty good, and Xiao Cheng is playing with Little Zhen with a cat teasing stick.
"This way, alas, this way again"
Meow meow~ (don't run)
At this time, two people, Xiao Zhan and Ao Ba Pa, came to the store in a hurry.
Seeing the two family heads coming, Xiao Cheng was a little confused. He didn't know what they were here for, but on the surface he had to say hello politely.
"Uncle Xiao, and Ao Ba Pa clan leader, do you have anything to do with me?"
"That's right, I plan to..."
Ao Ba Pa first said that he wanted to cooperate with the Xiao Clan, and stated the conditions he proposed, and then made it very clear why he came to him.
"Three-way cooperation?"
Xiao Cheng said in surprise.
"Yes, Jia Lie Bi has started to target Ao Ba Pa's market and cut off all business dealings with them."
At this time, Xiao Zhan said the main reason why Ao Ba Pa wanted to cooperate.
"Is that so? That guy Jia Lie Bi is still really noisy. But if we cooperate, won't we make that guy jump over the wall?"
After rubbing his chin and thinking for a while, Xiao Cheng said slowly.
"No, this old rival, I know his temper well. He will not fight us to the death until it is absolutely necessary. That will not do him any good."
Seeing Xiao Zhan say this, Xiao Cheng nodded, then turned to look at Ao Ba Pa and asked.
"Three-party cooperation doesn't do any harm to me, so if you agree, I will give a discount to the children of your two families who come to buy cakes."
"Thank you so much Shop Owner Xiao"
Ao Ba Pa Thank you quickly.
"Just mutual benefit"
Seeing Xiao Cheng's casual look, Ao Ba Pa also smiled.
Then the three people signed three contracts, and each person had two contracts in his hand, both in duplicate.
Not long after, Ao Ba Pa and Xiao Zhan left. They were going to inform Xiao Clan's children and the shop in Fangshi, Xiao Ao, that they had cooperated.
He believed that once the news spreads, the market of the Xiao Clan and the market of Ao Ba Pa will definitely be lively for a while.
As for the feelings of that guy Jia Lie'ao, who cares.
"It's good to cooperate with Xiao Ao. In this way, my tenure as Ruyi Zhai can be improved. Although there is no big change, at least it can improve the progress of the current task."
After sighing, he suddenly noticed a young man in his twenties appearing outside the store.
But he knew this young man.
While looking at the young man carefully, the young man was also looking at Xiao Cheng.
After a while, the young man walked into the store. He first looked around at the decorations in the store, and then his eyes were attracted by Little Zhen in Xiao Cheng's arms, but it was only fleeting.
"Hello, I am Gu He, the elder of the Misty Cloud Sect. I heard from Sect Master Yun that there is a magical pastry in Wutan City that can enhance Dou Qi. I don't know if it is here."
This young man named Gu He, who claimed to be the elder Misty Cloud Sect, left Xiao Cheng stunned.
Let me tell you, this seems to be Alchemist Gu He, and in the original plot, this guy seems to have a younger brother named Gu Te who has a hobby of collecting and has an eccentric personality.
Judging from Gu He's current age, this guy should still be Dou Wang.
He is indeed a genius. His level of medicine refining is so high, and his strength is also ridiculously strong.
Seeing Gu He's friendly attitude, he couldn't help but make some remarks and replied politely.
"It is indeed our store. I am the store manager Xiao Cheng. I wonder why Alchemist Gu He came to me?"
"Shop Owner Xiao, if you can make cakes with such effects, you must be a Daoist with a high level of medicine refining. I wonder if you and I can share our experience in medicine refining."
Gu He spoke in a very humble tone, which made Xiao Cheng quite helpless.
You said it was a bit uncomfortable for someone about his age to speak respectfully to him.
But what Gu He said about sharing experiences made Xiao Cheng secretly smile bitterly.
"I'm just making some pastries, not making alchemy. I don't know how to make alchemy. Isn't this asking for trouble?"
While shaking his head secretly in his heart, Yue'er suddenly let out a cry.
"Uncle Gu He, why are you here?"
"Oh, Princess Yue'er, why are you here?"
Jia Ma Imperial Family's Princess Yue'er is actually in this store, which makes Gu He quite surprised.
"Hehe, I am a store clerk here, I am very happy."
Seeing Yue'er say this, Gu He nodded in understanding.
Xiao Cheng on the side also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Nizi changed the subject, otherwise he really wouldn't know how to deal with it.
"Ahem, Master Gu He, don't you want to know the secret of pastries? Come on, I'll let you try these pastries of mine."
Seeing Xiao Cheng asking him to try these pastries, Gu He said quickly.
"Shop Owner Xiao's pastries have been tasted in Zongmen, just..."
Before Gu He could finish speaking, Xiao Cheng interrupted him.
"Oh, what Ge Ye bought at that time was only part of the pastries in my store. Look at this Mung Bean Cakes, and this Sesame Candy, Melon Seed Candy, try it, I'll treat you to it."
Seeing Xiao Cheng patting his chest, Gu He couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Okay, I'm going to be respectful, why don't you just obey and have a taste?"
Immediately, Gu He tasted the pastries in Xiao Cheng's shop.
Every pastry made Gu He's eyes light up. When he finally tasted Mung Bean Cakes, he suddenly felt how extraordinary this Mung Bean Cakes was, and he asked.
"Store manager, how did you make this Mung Bean Cakes? It has such a good detoxification effect. I am willing to be the loser."
When Gu He asked Mung Bean Cakes what he did, Xiao Cheng scratched his head helplessly.
It's not impossible to say how to make Mung Bean Cakes. At present, he is the only one who can make Mung Bean Cakes with such effect.
Besides, others wanted to make it, but they didn't have the material of mung beans, so after Xiao Cheng thought about it for a while, he told Gu He Mung Bean Cakes the production materials and the method in a concise manner.
"What? Mung beans? What kind of genius treasure is this?"
After listening to Xiao Cheng's story, Gu He was very curious about this "mung bean", so he asked directly.
As soon as this question was asked, Xiao Cheng really wanted to vomit blood.
Mung beans are not a natural resource, they are just ordinary beans.
"Mung beans are just ordinary beans that ordinary people eat, and they are not a natural resource."
Gu He asked in confusion.
"If mung beans are not a genius treasure, then why do you make Mung Bean Cakes with such a magical effect? Can the store manager help me explain it?"
Seeing Gu He talking about the effect of Mung Bean Cakes, Xiao Cheng really wanted to facepalm.
Brother, it's not that I don't want to explain, but I'm afraid you won't believe me if I explain.
He simply laughed and changed the subject.
"Let's not talk about this problem for now. How long will Master Gu He stay in Wutan City this time? Do you need to stay with me for a few more days?"
"Did the store manager invite me to stay?"
"Well, that's right,"
Asked so abruptly by Gu He, he subconsciously replied.
"Then I'm really grateful to the store manager. I'd rather be respectful than obey and live in the store. This also makes it easier for me to exchange medicine refining experiences with the store manager."
Hearing this, Xiao Cheng really wanted to slap himself.
Why are you so arrogant? If you bring this guy in, he probably won't stop in the future.
But there is nothing we can do now. The water that has been thrown out cannot be taken back.
He could only say with a dry smile.
"Then Master Gu He, come upstairs with me, and I will make a room for you for your convenience."
"Thank you manager"
Gu He thanked.
After Gu He went upstairs, Xiao Cheng sighed and murmured from behind.
"The fleeting time is unlucky, the fleeting year is unlucky, alas~"
