The firewood in Xinhuo House was bought in bulk from other places, but after she received the firewood, she used talismans to remove impurities from the firewood. The effect of using it is definitely different from ordinary firewood.

Hearing this, Zhang Zhao had a look of astonishment on his face, paused, and then said: "To be honest, the rice cooked by the bundle of firewood I brought home earlier was very different from the rice cooked by other firewood, and it burned very well.

No choking smoke smell. No matter.

My family came to me specifically to ask which store they bought the firewood from, but I couldn’t tell the source. It’s just that my elderly grandmother particularly likes this kind of porridge cooked with firewood, saying it’s better than porridge.

The porridge cooked in the past was always delicious."

Hearing his explanation, Meng Xiaofang felt relieved, "Well, if you want to buy firewood from my store, the price cannot be any cheaper. But if you buy five bundles, I can give you an extra bundle.

"

When Zhang Zhao heard this, a bundle of firewood cost five taels. Wouldn't giving him a bundle of firewood be equivalent to giving him a discount of five taels of silver? He immediately decided to buy ten bundles and go back. But after questioning, he found that Xinhuo House did not deliver the goods.

I had no choice but to ask the servant who was guarding the door to return to the house and ask the housekeeper to send someone over to get firewood.

The transaction went smoothly, and Xinhuowu made fifty taels of silver from its first firewood business.

Although two additional bundles of firewood were given as gifts, Meng Xiaofang believed that these two bundles of firewood would bring more generous rewards to herself.

Sure enough, within a few days, Zhang Zhao came to Xinhuowu again to buy firewood. But this time, he also brought a familiar colleague. Coincidentally, this colleague of his was the one he had heard about earlier.

Zhang Zhao spent twenty taels of silver and fifty copper coins to buy a bundle of firewood, and he was the one who encountered the scammer.

This colleague's surname is Yuan Mingqi, his family is in business, and he is a man who is not short of money.

Since Yuan Qi went to Zhang's house for two meals recently and found that the food at his house has become more delicious than before, he has been bent on poaching Zhang's cook to his own house. Unexpectedly, that day, he tried to

After Zhang Zhao put forward his idea, the latter agreed without hesitation. He also said that the matter would be decided by his housekeeper and he would help ask when he got back.

Yuan Qi felt that Zhang Zhao was responding too readily, so he specifically reminded the latter that he wanted the Zhang family's recently replaced cook.

Although Zhang Zhao didn't care about the logistics at home, he still knew very well that his family had not hired a new cook recently, so he expressed his doubts to Yuan Qi.

When Yuan Qi heard this, he immediately glared at him and said half-jokingly: "The food at your home tastes better than before, and you still said you didn't hire a new cook? Could it be that you are reluctant to give it to me? Don't worry, brother, a gentleman will not

I am just joking with you, don't take it seriously."

When Zhang Zhao heard what Yuan Qi said, he was convinced and told his colleague Yuan Qi the secret to making his own food delicious.

Yuan Qi didn't believe it at first, but he couldn't stand Zhang Zhao's repeated assurances. Moreover, in order to convince him, Zhang Zhao also took advantage of his free time after the shift to take him to the kitchen of his house to look at the new firewood he bought at home.

.

Yuan Qi is a person who pays attention to food and drink, and knows a lot about firewood. The taste of Zhang Zhao's firewood is indeed different from that bought from other stores in the market, and it is not offensive at all.

That's why today's scene of Zhang Zhao taking Yuan Qi to Xinhuo House to buy firewood happened.

When Yuan Qi saw Meng Xiaofang, his eyes lit up, and he turned around and glanced at Zhang Zhao with ambiguous eyes. No wonder his colleague was so kind that day to help lighten the burden of the people selling firewood in the city. He couldn't help but admire the appearance of the shopkeeper.

It's so outstanding.

Zhang Zhao was made uncomfortable by Yuan Qi's expression. He didn't know what Xiao Jiujiu was thinking about, so he quickly reminded the latter to buy firewood.

Yuan Qi paid quickly. He ordered twenty bundles of firewood this time and said that he would buy more later if he used it well.

Meng Xiaofang liked customers who paid quickly. According to the old rules, every five bundles came with a bundle of firewood. After counting the quantity, she asked the servants brought by the other party to take away all the firewood.

There is no doubt about the quality of firewood in Xinhuowu. It didn't take long for Yuan Qi to visit the shop again and bring several new customers to the shop.

Over time, the reputation of Xinhuowu's firewood for being useful was established.

The firewood from the firewood house not only burns without choking, but the cooked food is fragrant, leaves less ashes after burning, can be fully burned, and can be used longer than other firewood.

There is no shortage of wealthy families in the Imperial City, and the business of Xinhuo House is getting better and better.

But this made the store that supplied it very jealous. You said it was all firewood, so how come the things your Xinhuo House bought from my house could be sold at such a price? So, this store

The owner of the shop sold firewood at the price of twenty taels of silver per bundle under the name of the store supplying the firewood house.

News of the Imperial City spread quickly, and this store was soon discovered by interested people. Of course, there were also many colleagues who contributed to the cause.

Although the wealthy families in the imperial capital have money, they have bought the firewood for their firewood houses for only five taels of silver a bundle. Now suddenly a family with two taels of silver appears. Although the things are indeed used differently, they are still the same after all.

It's in the name of Xinhuowu, and Xinhuowu's supply does come from this store. How can they be willing to suffer such a dumb loss?

As a result, the housekeepers from many wealthy families joined forces and went to the Xinhuo House to seek an explanation.

Meng Xiaofang is very confident in the firewood she has handled, so she is naturally not afraid of others finding fault.

She led everyone to the courtyard to see the firewood inventory, and showed them the differences between the two types of firewood. Only then did she tell everyone the fact that she had handled firewood.

When the housekeepers heard this, they felt that they could not get any advantage this time. In addition, before they came, the head of the house also specifically asked not to offend the owner of the Xinhuo House. In this way, the matter was loud and clear, and a large group of people

Come and go quietly, the matter is over.

But after Meng Xiaofang made such a clarification, even if she broke up with the supplier of Xinhuowu, the other party not only refused to supply her anymore, but also contacted all colleagues in the city not to supply her. In this way, her salary was completely cut off.

The back path of the fire house.

But who is Meng Xiaofang? She is a talisman master, so isn’t it because she has no supply source? The world is so big, she has plenty of ways to find people who are willing to supply her.

Early the next morning, a sign was posted outside Xinhuo House that the market was temporarily closed.

Many neighbors heard that things were not going well in Xinhuo House recently, and they all thought that the feng shui of the house was causing trouble. Now that the shops were closed, their suspicions were further confirmed.

At that time, Meng Xiaofang, the owner of the Xinhuo House, had a magical talisman attached to her body and rushed to Chaisang City hundreds of miles away from Mengjing City with just a cup of tea.
