The one hundred and seventh
107
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Shi Fei'er and his party went out of the house, and when the car arrived at the entrance of the alley, Shi Fei'er instructed: "You don't have to rush to the road today, just walk slowly." It's good to stop and take a look if it's busy. ”
The steward of the car answered, and the car stopped after two blocks. Seeing that the car was not moving, the maid butterfly lifted the curtain and asked, "Why did it stop suddenly?" ”
The driver replied: "Back girl, there are a lot of people gathered at the entrance of this alley somehow, and the road is blocked." Our carriage can't get through. ”
"Let's go and see, what's going on in front of you that blocked this alley?" Huang Li spoke.
After a while, the housekeeper came back and told that a new restaurant had opened on the opposite street corner, and after the restaurant opened and put firecrackers, it was actually in the ring, and there was a silver reward for winning. The housekeeper paused and said, Otherwise, the old lady, let's turn back now, take a long detour, and go to the Lin Mansion.
Shi Fei'er knew that this was the store she asked Egret to open. I chose to go to Lin Mansion today because the restaurant opened today, which is the only way to go. I came out to see the excitement, but I didn't expect this ring to be so violent, and the roads here were blocked.
"It's a matter of turning back." Shi Fei'er said: "It's rare to catch up with such a lively time, and it's okay to look at it." This made several maids around him happy. On weekdays, I am in the house, even if I go home, I can't go to the street at will, and today I followed the old lady out, and I met the person who fought in front of the restaurant, so I was naturally curious and wanted to take a look.
"Old lady, there are a lot of people here, I'm afraid it's not very convenient." The mother-in-law is loyal, thinking about a carload of female dependents, if she is crowded in the crowd to watch the excitement, in case there is something, it is not easy to explain.
And that makes sense. This maid in Jiafu is indeed raised like a young lady from another family, and it would be bad if she brought someone out by herself. However, Shi Fei'er is also prepared, and the excitement is to be seen, as long as the car goes to the door of the restaurant, the egret will take him to the private room. It's just that this section of the road is blocked now, and this car can't pass.
Huang Li knew that this restaurant was opened by Jia's mother, so she chose to come out today to see that her grandson was a pretense, and it was true to see the opening of this restaurant. Now that the car is trapped here, it is also anxious that it can't move, and after thinking about it, his eyes rolled and said: "Old lady, I have an idea, can you listen to it?" ”
"Tell me about it."
"Let's go get some big bucks. Sprinkle behind the car and shout. It is estimated that this person will run to the back of the car to find money and pick up money. In this way, after the person goes to the car, the road will be easier to pass. ”
Shi Fei'er shook her head when she heard this, and said: "This is throwing money on the street, if it causes everyone to rob, push, and trample, it will become a disaster." Do not act in such a way for your own selfish gain. Originally, we just wanted to see the excitement, and if it caused another disaster, it would be better not to watch it. ”
Huang Li blushed when she heard Mother Jia's words, and hurriedly said: "The old lady is thinking about me this time, please don't blame the old lady." ”
"It's not uncommon to be ill-conceived, and no one can act without flaws. It's just that I'm afraid that you are used to being noble in the mansion, and you will bring this momentum out of the mansion, which is not good. Shi Fei'er paused and said: "Huang Li, you are also a smart person, if you stand alone in the future, you also need to think about it from a different angle." ”
"Huang Li remembered."
"Okay, okay, today is for a pleasure. Let's sit in the car and wait. "Shi Fei'er is not in a hurry, this excitement is just a matter of a while, although he is very interested in this ring, but safety is more important.
The carriage stopped, and ordered a housekeeper to go ahead and take a look, and report the situation from time to time. Just waited for a while, the officers and soldiers patrolling the street happened to pass by, and they were busy ordering people to disperse on both sides, and Shi Feier's carriage and horse also came out of the alley with the officers and soldiers patrolling the streets.
The carriage and horses slowly walked to the door of the restaurant, and the egret got the letter early and waited aside, waiting for Jia's mother to get out of the car, and hurriedly took everyone to the private room. Today is the first time that Shi Fei'er has gone out of the house to walk on the streets. I have been out of the house many times before, but they are all point-to-point, and I will not go down to the restaurant on the road. Now this Shi Fei'er is sitting in the private room, and everything feels fresh. After so many years, it's easy to finally go shopping.
This private room is very well located, and you can see the downstairs through the window. The egret was naturally also on the side, Shi Fei'er looked at the crowd in the ring downstairs, and asked, "Egret, what kind of fight is this?" Why so many people? ”
Egret smiled: "Today is the first game, compared to the speed of eating, this time is the primary election, and the general election has not yet arrived." This primary selection is also simple, there is no limit, a group of 10 people, and the first person in each group will be the winner. When there are ten people in this victory, one more group will be played, and the fastest one to finish is the leader of today's ring. The bounty was twenty taels. ”
Shi Fei'er nodded when she heard this, looked sideways, and suddenly a person on the long table raised her hand, and then a gong sounded. Then I heard someone shouting: "The seventh victory of the fourth group!" Then I saw a man standing up and walking around excitedly.
"What's the dish for today's competition?" Shi Fei'er was a little curious.
"Back to the old lady, it's that mapo tofu." Egret sneered, "The old lady wanted to push out the spicy flavor, and Egret thought that this dish had a special taste, so he used it as a pioneer." ”
Shi Fei'er was also happy to listen to it, and now because of her own hobby, she has promoted this spicy taste, and maybe more dishes will be derived in the future. In today's world, this spicy flavor can cause a trend, and it may not be inferior here.
"And how is business today?"
"It's a good seat. Many people came because they were watching the excitement, and when they saw the interesting expressions of the beating people, they all ordered a copy to try it. It turns out that the reputation of this store is good, and today I saw that it was reopened, and many old customers also came to patronize. ”
Shi Fei'er nodded. My dream in this world is to open a dessert shop, but now that I have opened a restaurant here, I suddenly feel like my dream has come true. And it's magnified many times like it came true. Maybe life is like this, no matter where you stick to your heart, maybe you will give yourself an unexpected surprise.
The round went very fast. Shi Fei'er saw that there were a few beggars mixed with the lively crowd outside the ring, and when she saw this scene, she rushed to the front and begged for some of the rest of the food to be shared with herself. Shi Fei'er looked at it and felt that those children were very pitiful.
"Egret, are you good enough for the guy here?"
The egret tilted his head and thought, "If this business is more prosperous, I'm afraid it will be shorter." If the old lady has something useful, remember to give it to me first. ”
"I haven't been out of the house for a long time, so today is just to join in the fun. Just now I saw a few beggars in this crowd, but it was pitiful. ”
"The old lady is compassion. These beggars are indeed pitiful. I heard that it was a homeless person from the northwest, but now that his parents are gone, he can't join his family. In the past few days, I have also asked the kitchen to give them some food. ”
Shi Fei'er shook her head and said, "You are also soft-hearted. It is not appropriate to give them food every day. Now he has no father and no mother, which is really pitiful. But begging doesn't last long, and it's not a good thing to go on for a long time if you don't get something for nothing. In this way, you can have these beggars find them, hire them as apprentices, take care of their food and drink, and learn some skills. But I also made it clear to them that if you want to do something bad after entering the store, you will send it directly to the official, and you will never be able to come back. ”
The old lady thought it through, and the egret thanked the old lady for these children first. Blessed are they today. ”
Shi Fei'er looked out the window: "Those children are just the age of Hu Erzhu'er, and I can't help but feel compassion." Today is also my event, I will talk to you, I don't interfere in the affairs of this store, but I don't ask, just sit and wait for the dividends. I'll take a look today, and I'll find you a buddy. ”
"Look at what the old lady said, the old lady can come and sit often is a blessing to this store."
"In addition, if you see the old and young women and children in this store, you might as well give some food, this matter should not be publicized, nor too much, just do it secretly. But if a man with sound limbs and good health comes to beg for it, it is. If this store is done benevolently, it will also earn a reputation and become famous, and this source of customers will naturally continue. ”
Egret nodded: "I have written down everything the old lady said." ”
After a while, there were several gongs downstairs, and in a blink of an eye, there were all ten people who had entered the general election. At this time, the downstairs was even more bustling, and everyone was stretching their necks and waiting to see the birth of today's champion.
Shi Fei'er looked at it and was even more curious: "How to choose this champion today?" ”
Egret smiled: "This method is the same, except that this dish is replaced with a staple dish, a portion of oily noodles." Egret smiled, "This meal is all over the place." Because the ring is free to eat, and I can't afford to use those chickens, ducks and fish, so I just choose some simple and cheap ones. ”
Shi Fei'er also smiled, the noodles in the ring had been served, and there was a small basin in front of one person. The red on the top of that face is the most eye-catching. The pepper was poured with oil, the aroma was overflowing, and when the gong sounded, everyone buried their heads in the bitter eating. This time, it took a while to win. The man was burly, and he didn't leave after receiving the bonus, he put the silver two in his arms and said to the onlookers: I had a good meal today, and I will see what delicious dishes there are in this restaurant. After speaking, he turned around and entered the restaurant, although Shi Fei'er was upstairs, the man's voice was loud, and he still heard it clearly, Shi Fei'er looked at the egret and asked, "This is the trust you invited?" ”
The egret hurriedly waved his hand: "It's really not." I can afford these dozens of taels of silver. ”
Shi Fei'er frowned: "You don't have to accompany me, it's better to go down and take a look." lest some trouble arise, and a good thing becomes a bad thing. ”
