Chapter 47
Hongzhu got silver from Mrs. Zhu for no reason, and even the Li family sincerely thanked Mrs. Zhu once. After returning to the room, he said to Cheng Wenhan, Cheng Wenhan immediately clapped his hands and smiled: "That's good, I'm afraid that we will spend too much money to open that restaurant, and if we move out in the New Year, there will be a great famine." ”
Hongzhu was in a good mood, and deliberately lectured him with a straight face: "What nonsense are you talking about, this is the dowry money that my grandmother gave me, you went to study there, and you even have to be greedy for your sister's dowry money?"
Although Cheng Wenhan was familiar with his sister's temperament, he was still frightened when he heard this serious remark, so he said again and again: "No...... No, I ...... I'm just too worried......"
Even the Li family came over to persuade: "Hongzhu, your brother is not sensible, he doesn't really want your dowry money." ”
Seeing that the two of them were serious, Hongzhu finally couldn't help but sneer, rolled down on the bed and said, "Oh, I coaxed Wenhan, how can I take it seriously? Don't say five taels of silver, I want to have fifty taels and five hundred taels, all of which are spent by our family, and I can't hide my secrets? As for my dowry money, in a few years, are you afraid that I won't be able to earn it?"
Cheng Wenhan smiled when he saw Hongzhu smiling like this, and he smiled himself.
Li Shi breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and patted Hongzhu on the back, and only said: "You ghost clever, even we are bluffed." ”
Hongzhu smiled, and the family showed their faces, only to feel that the shadow of moving was gone.
On the twenty-eighth day of the year, Xingjia Food Shop opened at an auspicious time, even the small things of the store can not be sloppy, and the two families also set up a shrine to worship seriously.
Zhong said to the old guests early that if they had to be free, they would come over to have a look, which would be both blessed and lively. I also said bluntly, there will be delicious and affordable snacks to sell to them. And because there are no elders here, Second Uncle Li took advantage of his past friendship to personally invite the elders and elders in the workshop, as well as a few scribes and servants who had dealt with him, and set up a table of banquets in it to entertain guests.
They have been open for a few years, and they are familiar with each other, and they have some connections, so as soon as they opened at the auspicious time, there were really many old customers who came to cheer.
The Li family of the Zhu family invited them to the hall yesterday, and Mrs. Zhu treated Hongzhu well for the past two days, but she didn't like them to open this kind of food shop, so she only said a few words lightly at that time, saying that she was too old to make up for this interest. She didn't come, but she didn't let Zhu Guida come, saying that the grocery store was in short supply. And Jiang was angry with Mrs. Zhu and Hongzhu that day, and when he turned around, he said that he was sick and lay in the house and didn't go out. And now that she is in the situation with the Cheng family, it is very good that she doesn't find someone to smash their store, where will she come to congratulate.
If they don't come, Zhu Boxiu can't get out, Zhu Biyun is also hiding, only Zhu Zilan is left, don't talk about Hongzhu, even real people like Li don't want to call her.
Therefore, Zhu Guida hurriedly sent a two-color snack and a piece of cloth to their room in the morning, which was regarded as a celebration, and he said congratulations lightly, and that's it.
Hongzhu looked at Zhu Guida's appearance, and guessed that it was probably because the Jiang family tore his face with them, and he was difficult to please at both ends, so he inevitably took the initiative to avoid it.
Seeing the Zhu family like this, Li was a little discouraged, Hongzhu could only persuade her: "Mother, after saying that we have opened a restaurant, we will be self-reliant, how about the Zhu family, there is no need to think about it in the future." ”
Zhong saw it on the side, and also said: "An Niang, it's not your fault that you are left and right, they don't want to be close, then you don't have to stick it up, who doesn't take care of their own life first? ”
Only then did Li cheer up, smile and start busy with the food shop.
Not to mention, the dim sum in their Xingjia restaurant is really good. In order to please the auspicious, according to the idea of Hongzhu, Zhong made three steamed buns in three steamers, the size of each one is generally fine and lovely, half of the steamed is put away, half of the noodles are cut into a flowering oil and fried to golden brown, so half silver white and half golden, into a gold and silver steamed bun house. Hongzhu and Li spent a lot of time making a few pastries, the same horseshoe cake, called the horse to success, a red bean cake, called Honghonghuo, a taro lotus seed, called Taro Fu Lianlian, and the peanut, called the dragon and tiger......
As soon as the gold and silver steamed buns were put on, the taste was sweet and fragrant, and the yellow, red, purple and white pastries were laid out, and the family food shop was immediately appreciated. The price is not expensive, and the name is good, and some of the diners who come here want to buy something to try it out, and some want to buy it back to entertain their relatives, this four yuan and that eight yuan, and after a while, they went to a small half.
It's a good start!
When Zhong Shi saw this momentum, he smiled happily, and the little depression in his heart that had been born in his heart because of the less price he had received before also dissipated. Li's Hongzhu Cheng Wenhan helped on the side, this first day was a little rusty, and he was busy for a while. And Li Nanxing came out for a while when he worshipped God, and when he turned around, he only said that there were too many people and he had a headache, and after a while, he went back to lie in the small room behind him.
Seeing his appearance, Hongzhu almost couldn't hold back two words of ridicule, but she didn't see that even her younger brother Cheng Wenhan was busy on the stove in old clothes, what about the reader...... When she turned around and saw her mother Li looking at her, she barely stopped her mouth.
Second Uncle Li thanked the guests in front of him, and then went to the banquet to accompany the wine, and when the table was finished, everyone was half drunk. Hongzhu brought hot tea to their table, and Second Uncle Li quietly said to her, "Ask your second uncle if the silver is ready?"
Hongzhu glanced at the people on the seat, saw a man who was eighteen or nineteen years old, understood in his heart, and nodded at Second Uncle Li. Secretly said that Second Uncle Li looked honest and honest, but he understood that now that he has opened a shop, he is also more clever in his words and affairs. Thinking about it, he went to find Zhong and asked her about the silver.
Zhong's eyebrows tightened, he didn't say anything, he turned around and brought the silver, and muttered: "Who knew that he was also here, and another silver ......"
Hongzhu took it and persuaded: "Second uncle, go back and record it in the account, this kind of request for favor cannot be saved, and now that it is handed over, it will naturally be a lot less trouble in the future." ”
When Zhong Shi heard this, he immediately laughed and scolded, "At a young age, I understand things, this means that your second uncle is not as knowledgeable as you, isn't it?"
"How dare you. Hongzhu smiled and went to Uncle Li's side.
After a lively half an afternoon, there were fewer people in the store, and the banquet was dispersed, and Second Uncle Li enthusiastically sent people out. Hongzhu saw that Second Uncle Li was also drunk for the most part, and what he said was really funny, so he stayed aside and watched with a smile.
After a while, I saw Second Uncle Li take a few steps back and talk to the young man, "Tuo shouted at you, and I want your uncle to take care of ...... in the future" said this, and handed out the silver in his hand.
The man's name is Liang Mingheng, and Hongzhu has also dealt with the stall a few times before, and he recognizes his familiar face. He is the nephew of Zeng Ya, a money and grain scribe in the yamen, because his parents died early, but he has lived with Zeng Ya since he was a child. Several generations of the Zeng family have been working as money and grain scribes in the yamen, and the top and bottom of this Tong'an City have already felt the pulse, although they are not officials, but which official has arrived, they have to envelop his family.
According to Hongzhu's idea, this is the talisman of Tong'an City for generations, there is really that ignorant pedantic nerd official who has come to provoke this local snake, no matter how capable you are, you will be trapped in this small city and small county and will not be able to get ahead.
This Zeng family reached the generation of Zeng Ya's son, but he wanted to be a better official from the imperial examination, so he sent his son to study early, but unfortunately the eldest son was dull, the second son died early, and the first and third sons are very young now, and they can't see anything. In the end, only this nephew He Mingheng has a little bit of reading seeds, and He Mingheng passed the government examination two years earlier. Zeng Ya saw that he was clever, and he was much better than his own son, so he sometimes brought him with him to teach some contacts, so He Mingheng had some ability, and he deserved half of Zeng Ya's money and food affairs.
Now that He Mingheng has given face, Second Uncle Li naturally said something, he handed over the silver envelope, He Mingheng smiled and shirked it, but Second Uncle Li insisted on giving it, and he still accepted it if he didn't want to pull it.
"Second uncle doesn't have to send it, carefully blow the cold wind, we don't like this. He Mingheng smiled heartily, saw where Hongzhu was standing on the side, smiled and beckoned Hongzhu to come over, and then ordered: "Your uncle is drunk, and you helped him in." After speaking, he waved his hand and asked the officials to follow him.
Second Uncle Li finally let Hongzhu help him to send out a little more, and only staggered back when he arrived at the street corner.
In the evening, when it snowed lightly and there were fewer pedestrians on the road, Zhong called the store closed, and the two families happily ate dinner inside. Second Uncle Li woke up in the middle of the afternoon, and I didn't know where he found half a pot of wine, poured it for Li's red beads, and said: "An Niang, I Li Erben doesn't have a sister, you are my own sister, Hongzhu Wenhan is my nephew, this restaurant today, if you don't have it, I can't open it, I'm a rough and stupid person, I don't have any ingenuity, and I will have to bother you in the future." ”
Li didn't know how to speak, so he naturally blushed and thanked him, and said that it was all Uncle Li's ability.
Hongzhu knew that Second Uncle Li was probably talking to her about this, so she smiled and said: "Second Uncle, you are also my own uncle, let's not praise it, drink this glass of wine, and the business will be prosperous and prosperous in the future!"
Li's second uncle Zhong laughed and raised his glass to drink, and Li Nanxing on the side was stunned for a while, but in the end he also raised his glass and drank it together.
When night fell, the mother and son of the Li family went back together, and the second uncle Li was going to send it, but he was really tired today, so Hongzhu didn't agree, only said that the road was close and didn't need to be sent. Second Uncle Li thought about it, so he drove Li Nanxing over and asked him to go back.
After saying nothing all the way to Zhu's house, Li saw that Li Nanxing was walking with a lantern on his face, and his face seemed a little unhappy, so he smiled and said to him: "Nanxing, thank you for sending us home." ”
Li Nanxing let out a "hmm" and quickly turned back.
