General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming novel Chapter 123

123 Famous

Ahem, strictly speaking, she was the one snatching business from Jin Ji.

But Jin Ji was the one that refused to give her a way out!

Two can play the game!

It was obvious from Old Madam Qi’s expression that she believed in Su Xiaoxiao.

Old Madam Qi’s gaze landed on Su Xiaoxiao’s face again. This time, there was less of the dignity of an old lady and more of the gentleness of an old man.

“Girl, come forward.” She waved at Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao walked over calmly.

She was neither overly anxious nor timid. After all, she was not born and raised in ancient times and had never learned ancient social etiquette.

However, some things have endured since ancient times. That was a person’s aura and confidence.

Old Madam Qi looked at her gently. “You’re a girl with good fortune. Tell me, what’s your name?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Su Daya.”

Old Madam Qi smiled and said, “Where are you from?”

“From Apricot Flower Village,” she answered truthfully.

There was no need to lie about such information. The Qi family could easily find out about her ancestors.

Manager He snorted in his heart. She was just a bumpkin from the countryside! He didn’t know if the things she made were clean or not. Old Madam Qi was a proper person from the prefectural city. When she married into the Qi family, it shocked most of the town!

It would be strange if Old Madam Qi took a fancy to her!

Manager Sun said at the right time, “Old Madam, you don’t know, but Miss Su’s snacks are very famous. The dean of Wutong Academy is full of praise for Miss Su’s culinary skills and even asked Miss Su to supply the students of the academy every day.”

Old Madam Qi was surprised. “Even Dean Shen likes it.”

Manager Sun smiled and said, “Of course! I don’t dare to deceive Old Madam!”

Manager Sun was indeed an old businessman. His words were controlled well and he could talk the birds out of the trees.

How could he know Dean Shen’s attitude toward Su Xiaoxiao? In short, he would just brag!

How did one’s business come about? It was 30% based on strength and 70% on bragging!

Manager He was really furious. This shameless bastard!

Dean Shen was also a rather famous person in Apricoty Flower Town. He was a scholar who did not get involved in worldly affairs. His ambition was not in the royal court, but to teach.

Old Madam Qi looked at Su Xiaoxiao with more certainty.

Actually, even if Manager Sun didn’t brag, Old Madam Qi wouldn’t think that Su Xiaoxiao’s things were unpresentable just because she came from the countryside.

At her age, she was an old lady with money, power, and status. She had her own judgment and did not have to live in the eyes of others.

If she thought something was good, then it was good.

Not to mention these snacks, those lines of poetry were enough for her to treat Su Xiaoxiao differently.

Of course, after Manager Sun brought up Dean Shen, her impression of Su Xiaoxiao became even deeper.

“Girl, do you have a name for your snacks?”

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment before she realized that Old Madam Qi was not asking about the name of a single snack.

She thought for a moment and looked up into Old Madam Qi’s kind eyes. She said seriously, “Su Ji.”

….

On Old Madam Qi’s seventieth birthday, all the famous people in the town were in attendance. The county magistrate also personally came to congratulate her.

Beyond Apricot Flower Town, there were also many guests from the prefecture capital. Some were from her family, and some were from her grandson’s connections in the officialdom of the prefecture capital.

When the snacks made by Su Xiaoxiao appeared at the birthday banquet, these old masters and madams felt that they had seen the world.

Take the county magistrate for example. Although he was not a scholar in the top rankings, he was still a proper county examination scholar and had entered the capital three times to take the examination.

He had never seen such a unique snack.

He looked at the prefecture officials beside him. Everyone was as surprised as him.
