The night breeze was still very cold, but Yan deliberately opened the window, just to be blown by the wind and clear his mind. In the past, although she had to live a careful life, but now the situation is completely different, opening a small restaurant is Yao Zhenghe's decision to return to Beijing when she made the idea, she knows that if you really want to stay in Beijing, you must have a source of income, fortunately in her own cooking can still get her hands on the dishes, she thought that opening a small restaurant is also good.

In the past few days, she has also gone out with Yao Zhenghe every day to find a shop, but the two elders are from thrift and low-key, and they don't seek to make any big money, as long as they have income, it is enough to ensure the food and clothing of the family.

Originally, the two of them took a fancy to one today, and they were very satisfied with the price and place, and Yan also took the opportunity to ask other restaurants in the vicinity about the expenses of necessary things such as tables, chairs, and dishes and chopsticks.

She was calculating, Yao Zhenghe walked over, picked up the paper on the table and looked at it, it was some cost calculations, and there were more than 20 recipes, all of which were home-cooked dishes, the names were very simple, and the prices were very cheap.

He pursed his lips and was silent, his eyes kept changing, and Yan couldn't help asking: "What's the matter? What's the problem? Is it worried about the interest of the bank? I know that in addition to the ten taels of silver borrowed and the interest, we should have three more months to earn back." ”

Yao Zhenghe dragged the stool over and sat down, picked up the pen on the table, took a new piece of paper, and then began to put down the pen, Yan stood next to him and watched, the more he looked, the more surprised he became, "Dad, what does this mean?"

Yao Zhenghe finished writing, and then handed it to Yan, only to see that the original shop rent of 300 wen a month has become four taels a month, and the original budget for simple tables, chairs and stools is one tael of silver, but now it has been changed to seven taels of silver, and the dishes and chopsticks have also been increased to ten taels, as for some other budgets, they have added a lot, especially those recipes, she used to order a plate of home-cooked fried shredded pork, ten yuan, but now it has been changed to 120 wen by Yao Zhenghe, which is already a sky-high price, and the plate of shredded meat is just a change of name - Biluo Golden Silk.

She looked at Yao Zhenghe puzzled: "His father, what does this mean?"

Yao Zhenghe sighed, put down the pen, and then said slowly: "This means that we have to borrow at least thirty taels of silver from Yinzhuang, the child still has thirty taels in his hand, and we still have more than ten taels in his hand, and another thirty taels are borrowed, which is enough to open a large shop in the center of the city, invite five people to run the hall, three to give you a kitchen hand, two to burn the stove, and then buy thirty sets of tables, chairs and stools, and prepare one hundred sets of dishes and chopsticks." ”

"What----" Yan Shi closed his mouth in surprise: "His father, do you know what you're talking about? Do you plan to set up a shop in the center of the city? Or a big shop? Invite so many people? How much do you have to pay for wages alone? What are you thinking? Didn't you discuss it before? Didn't you say that you would go and set up that shop tomorrow?"

Yao Zhenghe sighed, told Yan what Yao Shi said to him, and said: "----Child, I know that it is not easy for her, child, I know that it is not easy, the reason why she has such an idea is that she was stimulated before, her third brother who worshipped, although she was not killed, but she has always felt guilty, plus the things she has experienced, her cognition has changed, she wants to live well here, so she must change." ”

Yan's eyes widened: "Do you know what she's talking about? She's still young, she doesn't know what forbearance is, I've endured it with you for more than ten years, so we've come back to life, how can you be more serious with her as a child, what does she know, how does she know what considerations and worries we have in doing this----?

Yao Zhenghe clenched his fists, "I know, what you say is reasonable, and I also know that if things really develop as the child thinks, then you and I ---- but I can't do it, do you know, she ---- she is doing things for the emperor." ”

"What?" Yan sat directly on the stool in horror at this time, the fear in her eyes seemed to be seeing a flood beast, and she remembered the true identity of Qiu Ji that Yao Shi said, that identity, she hadn't told Yao Zhenghe yet, but that identity had already made her panic, but now ---- do things for the emperor?

She questioned unbelievingly: "How is this possible? How can the emperor see it, let alone do things for the emperor, how can it be her turn? She is just a little girl, I don't believe it." Rather than not believing it, Yan didn't want to believe it, she knew that Yao Shi would not lie and deceive them, but it was really too difficult for her to believe it.

Yao Zhenghe didn't know much about the specific situation, but he knew that Yao Shi was doing things for the emperor, and he took the incident in hand this time, in fact, because Yao Shi was more than just an ordinary apprentice. Ordinary people say that the monarch wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die, Yao Xi is just a small common man, so what room for resistance is there.

It was precisely because he knew how helpless and passive his daughter was, that he would agree to Yao Shi's words, because he knew that if he continued to maintain his current state, Yu Yao Shi would not be of any help.

In fact, making money was originally an adult's business, but now it has become a child to manage, Yao Zhenghe is ashamed that his father, he can't provoke the head of the family, and he doesn't even know what use he has.

He stroked his forehead in annoyance, Yan and his husband and wife for many years, knowing what the latter was anxious about, at this time he suppressed the fear in his heart, and said: "This matter really didn't tell me, you must not want me to worry if you hide it from me, in fact, you and I both know that Yan'er is not a simple child, she has never even regarded herself as a child, and it is also our blessing to have a daughter like her."

If you think that this thing really has to be done, then I depend on you, maybe there is nothing to escape in ----the world, even if you avoid it temporarily, you still have to come, and you still have to face what you should face. ”

Yao Zhenghe nodded, put away his depressed mood, and said: "I'll go out tomorrow, it's okay if you don't show up in the kitchen, but I can't sit in the lobby, I have to find a trustworthy old shopkeeper." ”

Yan agreed: "I think the same way, then you ----"

"Don't worry, since we have decided to do a good job, then we will do a good job in this restaurant and let that girl feel at ease. Yao Zhenghe said with a smile.

Yan Shi saw that he was finally no longer depressed, and his heart was half of his heart down, but there was always something that was not easy to let go, she folded the paper of the revised cost budget, then got up and closed the window, and the two of them fell asleep after washing.
