Chapter 369 Dead Ghost
Cui Wendong drooped his eyelids, still waving his fan gently, "There are small vendors who don't know the real deal, so why bother with them?"

"It is precisely because he does not know the importance of the matter that I think we should be more careful." Qingsong was unwilling to accept this. "Otherwise, who in this world would know our Cui family? Sir, please allow me to say something unpleasant. Is it because I mentioned the Cui family today that the vendor was so arrogant? If I had mentioned the Wen family..."

Cui Wendong paused in fanning himself.

If the Wen family is mentioned, shouldn't the peddler just hand it over to them?

But what are the Wen family? They are just a bunch of clowns!

It just so happens that the Wen family is now very respected both in front of the current emperor and in the hearts of the common people, making the Cui family seem unknown and without any sense of existence.

If it was in Jiangnan, it would be fine. The Cui family would have to give the Wen family some face. But could it be that even at the western border, they are no match for the Wen family?
Cui Wendong snorted coldly, "Since he is such a flatterer of the powerful and bullies the weak, he should be taught a lesson!"

This is the time to clean up this bun stall!

Qingsong's eyes suddenly lit up, "Sir, you are absolutely right. I will go find some worldly people and drive this bun stall out!"

Before chasing him out, we must let those ruffians give this bun stall a good beating and let that fat guy know how powerful we are!
"After all, evil things should not be allowed in public. How could you come up with such an idea? You are really petty." Cui Wendong frowned.

"What you mean, sir..." Qingsong was puzzled.

"Take my badge and go to the government office and tell the prefect to take care of this matter." Cui Wendong said.

Even when the Cui family wants to do something, they always take the open way. They are not like the Wen family, who are accustomed to doing things behind the scenes, which is despicable.

"Yes!" Qingsong responded excitedly.

Letting the government step in would save face, but would also make the people at the bun stall feel even more desperate.

Just thinking about it makes me feel relieved!
After the matter was settled, Cui Wendong raised his hand and urged the carriage to move forward.

It was almost noon and the weather was getting hotter. I was getting more and more annoyed about the popsicle incident and was sweating all over. I needed to get to the villa as soon as possible, take a shower, change clothes, and use ice to cool off.

Xia Mingyue and Manager Fu were unaware of these things and continued to sell soup dumplings.

The Xiaolongbao business is booming, and people who want to join the franchise have started coming to inquire about related matters.

Screening, background check, signing franchise documents, helping with site selection, teaching how to make soup dumplings...

The franchising process for Xiaolongbao is still carried out in accordance with the franchising procedures for Xia Ji’s other food businesses.

In order to free up manpower, Xia Mingyue decided to have the first soup dumpling franchisee take over the steamed bun stall they were trying out.

In addition, the soup dumpling stall has one more thing to sell.

Radish kimchi.

The fragrant and delicious steamed buns with overflowing gravy, paired with some pickled sour and tasty kimchi, which is appetizing and relieves greasiness, is simply the perfect combination on earth!
After careful consideration, the people who joined the steamed bun shop asked Xia Mingyue if they could set up long tables and chairs to meet the needs of more dine-in customers.

In addition, they are also thinking of adding mung bean soup.

The thin mung bean soup is cooled and served in a wooden barrel. It is not sold individually, let alone takeout. Anyone who buys buns can have a bowl of it and drink it.

In this way, after eating and drinking, the meal is completely over and the sense of satisfaction is doubled.

If you want to take the buns away, you can also drink a bowl of it, which is most suitable for clearing away heat and relieving summer heat.

The cost is not high, but it is enough to make people feel comfortable, and their good impression of this soup dumpling stall will rise sharply, becoming loyal customers. Xia Mingyue thought this was a good idea, so she simply made the free mung bean soup a standard feature of the soup dumpling stall, so that the soup dumpling would have a more attractive feature.

The soup dumpling stall business was booming again.

And more and more people are coming to consult about joining the franchise.

During this busy time, Xia Mingyue counted the days on her fingers.

More than half a month has passed since the day I sent off the reply letter to Lu Qiyan. Logically speaking, I should have received a reply by now.

But she hasn't received any yet...

Could it be that because her reply was too simple, Lu Qiyan stopped writing to her, or was it because she wrote the two words "don't worry" in her heart, so Lu Qiyan felt at ease and really no longer worried about her?

Hard to guess!

So angry!

devil!

Xia Mingyue muttered to the bright moon for a long time.

"Ah!"

Lu Qiyan sneezed loudly, and his hands trembled, almost tearing the envelope in his hand.

His heart skipped a beat, and Lu Qiyan looked carefully again and again, making sure that the letter inside had not been damaged in the slightest. Only then did he put his heart back in his stomach.

Carefully taking out the thin letter paper, Lu Qiyan even pushed the candlestick on the table inwards, then carefully spread out the letter paper and checked the contents.

After seeing the simple words "Everything is fine, don't worry" on the huge piece of letter paper, Lu Qiyan was stunned.

Reluctantly, he turned the letter over and over again, read it carefully many times, held it near the candle flame to warm it, and even tried to drop a few drops of water on it. When he finally confirmed that the reply only had these six words, he scratched his ear again.

Madam, do you have nothing to say to him?
Or……

Lu Qiyan's mind suddenly emerged with the scene of Xia Mingyue's pretty face with a hint of anger and pouting lips, and he suddenly realized.

My wife is angry.

Need to coax it!
Lu Qiyan thought about it, took out pen, ink and paper, ground the ink carefully, and began to write his reply.

"It's like seeing you in person. I feel relieved to know that you are doing well. But it's been hot recently and you have just arrived in Changzhou. I wonder if you are used to it..."

"A few days ago, the army encountered a serious incident due to a problem with the military medicine supplies. I was appreciated by the commander of the wing and was promoted to the deputy commander of the Shenwu Army. I have been in office now, and my monthly military salary has doubled compared to before..."

"It was midsummer and the military camp was in a remote area with lots of mosquitoes. I was annoyed by them every day and got bitten a lot. I got dozens of lumps and spots on my body. It took several days for them to completely fade away."

"Three days ago, a wild dog was wandering outside the military camp for a long time. It looked somewhat similar to Wu Jin, but not as smart as Wu Jin. It even liked to fight with the wild cats nearby, and howled for a long time every day..."

Lu Qiyan pondered for a long time, and wrote down all the interesting things he remembered in detail on paper. He filled up several pages and only stopped when he had used up all the ink he had ground.

Then, he folded the letter carefully, put it in an envelope, and handed it to Fang Baosheng.

Note: Chapter 360 was previously written incorrectly. The supporters behind the Second Prince were the Cui family, and the He family was neutral. The author has corrected it.
