Chapter 371: Fighting
Shopkeeper Li was busy and laughed: "Miss Xia has something to do, just tell me, what trouble is there." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"Then I won't be polite to Shopkeeper Li. "Xia Zhiji is going to visit the door of Layue, and she wants to invite a cook to tell Shopkeeper Li. "According to the rules of our restaurant, shopkeeper Li, you can arrange someone for me. ”
"It's easy to do. "When Shopkeeper Li heard that it was this incident, he agreed without any trouble. He thought about it for a moment, and then asked the man to go to the kitchen and call a fat cook over.
"This is the chef of our restaurant, surnamed Zhang. Shopkeeper Li introduced Xia Zhi, and asked Chef Zhang to salute Xia Zhi, and then asked Xia Zhi what kind of banquet he planned to prepare.
"Just the medium table in our restaurant, prepare four tables. Xia Zhi said, as for what was on the table, she said to listen to the chef's arrangement.
The chef of Juxian Restaurant is also accustomed to making banquet noodles, and he knew it when he heard Xia Zhi say this. He didn't use pen and paper, and he reported the names of the dishes he was going to prepare on the spot.
Xia Zhi nodded when he heard this, but changed one of the stewed sea cucumbers to braised lion's head. Zhuanghu people may not recognize such a big dish as sea cucumber, but they all think that braised lion's head is a good dish.
Braised lion head has another name in Beizhen Mansion, and that is Sixi Balls. This dish is quite popular at the wedding banquet, but it is rare to see it on the table. To make such changes on the summer solstice is also to follow the customs.
The menu was set, and then the summer solstice asked the chef to order a light purchase according to the four-table banquet. The chef is naturally familiar with this, and he is ready in an instant.
Xia Zhi took the list and stood up, saying that she would arrange a car to pick up the chef at that time.
Shopkeeper Li smiled and shook his head, so that Xia Zhi didn't have to worry about it, and he would have a car to send the chef over at that time. "And his usual dick thing. In addition, we have to build a new stove, and we are not used to the stove at home. ”
Chefs usually have to build a temporary stove for a banquet, but that's because of the large number of tables to be held.
Shopkeeper Li said this, and Xia Zhi immediately agreed. After all, he is the chef of Juxian Restaurant, not to mention pomp, the stove that people want to use may also have special requirements.
Sure enough, the chef then said that he would let the assistant cook go over to build the stove in advance.
This is the person who helps the cook, and he doesn't need to arrange it on the summer solstice, and when the time comes, the summer solstice only needs to arrange two miscellaneous people for him.
"Miss Xia, do you want to send a letter to the young master about this matter?" When Xia Zhi was sent out, Shopkeeper Li also asked Xia Zhi.
This is what Layue and Qian Yue are talking about.
Xia Zhi thought about it, then shook his head and said no. Soon the New Year's pig will be killed, and Li Xia will definitely come back then. At the end of the year, Li Xia must also have a lot of things to do. It's just a few days' work, so don't let Li Xia run back and forth.
Well, Mrs. Tian of the province is unhappy again.
Of course, Xia Solstice will not say this last sentence, let alone to shopkeeper Li. "I'll just write to him in the next two days. ”
Leaving Juxian Restaurant, Xia Zhi took Xiao Heiyuer, Xiao Shuer and Xiao Xialin to walk around the streets of Linshui Town, bought some food for one person, and went back to Daxingzhuang.
Old Man Xia, Old Lady Xia, Third Uncle Xia and others couldn't help but be overjoyed when they knew that Xia Zhi had invited the chef of Juxian Restaurant.
After a while, the person sent by Shopkeeper Li to build the stove arrived. There is no need to worry about Xia Zhi in this matter, naturally Uncle Xia San will help Zhang Luo.
This makeshift stove and shed was set up in the leeward part of the yard.
Old Man Xia watched outside for a while, and then beckoned Second Uncle Xia to go back to the upper room to talk to Xia Zhi. Old Man Xia looked very formal, and he nodded at Second Uncle Xia: "Second brother, you can tell Sixteen." ”
"Hey. Second Uncle Xia hurriedly agreed, and then stood up and saluted Xia Zhi without saying anything.
"What is this for!" Xia Zhi hurriedly turned sideways and let go, "Second uncle, you can just say something well." If you want to do this again, then I won't care about you from now on. ”
"Yes, he is an elder, but this little bit of etiquette should still be there. Old Man Xia said, and then motioned for Second Uncle Xia to speak.
"Sixteen, just now you~ Ye told me. The second uncle is grateful to you from the bottom of his heart. In the future, the second uncle's family will live well, and you must not forget your benefits. Sixteen, you are the savior of the second uncle, and the savior of our old Xia family......" Second Uncle Xia became lyrical.
Xia Solstice was slightly uncomfortable, but it didn't show it on his face. She just laughed, "Look at what my second uncle said......" is better than singing.
But what is more important is what Second Uncle Xia will do in the future.
"Come on. "Old Man Xia asked Second Uncle Xia to stop," said practically. ”
"Hey. Second Uncle Xia nodded, "Sixteen, barbecue this, I'm happy to do it." You can start doing it whenever you want. I'm sure I can do it well, and I must not be worse than your third uncle. If nothing else, we have a lot more people. ”
In addition to a few members of his own family, Second Uncle Xia also planned to include Guo Xi's family of three. You can't let the three members of the old Guo family continue to eat and drink for nothing all the time. They worked for him, and he fed them.
"That's it......" Second Uncle Xia rubbed his hands as he spoke, "This business is not small, Dad, Sixteen, you listen to my worries......"
Second Uncle Xia counted what he needed on his fingers: "...... You have to use money, and mutton is a big one...... "He doesn't have a penny in his hand now, and the capital to do business is counting on Old Man Xia and Xia Zhi."
Xia Zhi had already considered this question and told Old Man Xia about it.
"Sixteen told me, she will give you this capital. Old Man Xia said.
Second Uncle Xia immediately overjoyed, and there was almost no place to put his happy hands and feet. "Great, great, sixteen......"
Xia Zhi smiled and said nothing.
Old Man Xia glared at Second Uncle Xia: "Don't be too happy too early." This capital sixteen helped you out, but you have to pay it back slowly. ”
On the summer solstice, Uncle Xia's family went to Linshui Town to set up a stall. The income from their daily stalls, in addition to paying their wages, has to be given to the summer solstice.
"When the money for the summer solstice is paid off, the stall will be yours from now on. It's your own to make money, and it's your own to lose money. Old Man Xia said solemnly.
Second Uncle Xia's eyes flashed.
How much Old Man Xia knew Second Uncle Xia, he knew what he was thinking in the blink of an eye. "Don't be dissatisfied, this is the benefit that Sixteen gives you, you have to know it in your heart. ”
Before Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia set up stalls, there were no preferential terms like Uncle Xia's, Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia only took wages, and the profits from the stalls were all from the summer solstice.
"Barbecue business, I'm going to let Sixteen do that. It's Sixteen who says it, meaning that you can earn more money. Sixteen use her brains, contribute money and effort, she comes up with the recipe for the seasoning, and finally only let you pay back the capital and hand over the business to you, what a lot of love is this, you have to know the second child!"
"I have a number, I have a number in my heart. Second Uncle Xia said again and again, and his eyes didn't dare to blink.
Old Man Xia glanced at Second Uncle Xia, and then stopped talking about him.
"Master, just call my third uncle too, and the business will be handed over to him and my third aunt from now on. "Summer Solstice proposed.
"Good. Old Man Xia was happy in his heart, and immediately called Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia San.
The Xia family gathered in the upper house, and the old man Xia said the matter again, mainly asking everyone to work hard to get rich, and then there was the love of the summer solstice.
“…… That sixteen is too much of a loss......" Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia San were a little unhappy.
Xia Zhi smiled: "Second uncle, third uncle, if you don't want to go, you don't have to give me anything." Otherwise, let's make a charter, and every time you two go out in the future, you will honor my grandfather and my grandmother, is that okay?"
Uncle Xia immediately nodded and said okay.
Second Uncle Xia can't say no.
Old Man Xia wanted to speak, but was stopped by Xia Zhi.
"Master, you and my grandmother are quite tough now, but there is always an old man. Besides, even if you don't need this money, it is also a piece of filial piety for my second and third uncles. You two elders have to take this filial piety. Our family has this rule, and it will be passed on from generation to generation, and that is also our filial piety, not just a matter of money. ”
As soon as she said this, Old Man Xia suddenly brightened up, and felt that Xia Zhi thought about things in the long run.
"Then it's decided. After a little discussion, everyone determined that every time there was a stall, Second Uncle Xia and Third Uncle Xia should each honor Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia twenty yuan, that is, the money of one pound of japonica rice.
Calculated in this way, in a month, Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia can always collect three or four hundred yuan. The consumption level in the countryside is low, and with this amount of money, the old couple can live well without doing anything.
"This is the lowest, if my second and third uncles want to honor more, it would be better, we don't have a cap. Xia Zhi said with a smile again.
Actually, it's really just what she said. First of all, this can basically guarantee the lives of Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia (although she can already foresee that Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia do not need this money). Secondly, it is the obligation of children to support the elderly.
Maybe the money was filled by Mr. Xia and Mrs. Xia to the grandchildren in the end, but with such a process of coming and going, the family will be affectionate and righteous, and the relationship will be more harmonious, lively and humane.
The charter has been decided, and Second Uncle Xia is a little impatient, eager to take the capital and start doing business now.
Xia Zhi just smiled, she asked Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia to learn the technique first. "You go and learn from Uncle Hei, my father has said hello. ”
As for the capital, she didn't plan to give Uncle Xia cash in cash. Everything she needs to do a barbecue business, she will buy everything for Uncle Xia. Among them, the lamb is the majority, and it is still supplied by Qian Yue.
"I don't have to provide this capital indefinitely. For a month, if you don't make money, or if you make too little, then we will collect the share, and the loss will be on me. Xia Zhi said again.
Second Uncle Xia knew that Xia Zhi was not ambiguous, so he asked her: "Why is it not profitable, and it is too little?"
"Second uncle, you have to make more money in this business than my third uncle. "That's the standard. Summer solstice smiles. He asked Second Uncle Xia and Second Aunt Xia's family to learn techniques from Lao Hei first, and she came to prepare other things.
The Xia family's barbecue stall can be opened.
"Second uncle and second aunt, you have to work harder. ”
"Second brother, such a good opportunity, you have to fight for your breath, don't be confused. I told Sixteen, just this time, if it doesn't work, you will farm with me in the future, and you don't have to think about anything else. Old Man Xia said to Second Uncle Xia again.
Second Uncle Xia nodded like pounding garlic, and promised again and again.
That night, Xia Zhi had dinner in the backyard and returned to the front yard, the lights in the east house were on, and Tian sat under the lamp, holding a needle and thread in her hand, but she didn't move.
"Mother, you should rest early. "Xia Qiao sent Xia Zhi and Xiao Shu'er back, and he was going back to the backyard to sleep.
"Wait, I have something to say. Tian put down the needle and thread in his hand and said to the three Xia Zhi brothers and sisters.
The summer solstice sat down on the edge of the kang. She glanced at the kang tip, the kang tip hung the curtain, and it was quiet behind the curtain, and the eldest girl and the second girl seemed to have fallen asleep.
"Mother, let's be quiet. Xia Zhi said to Tian.
"It's fine. Tian glanced at Xia Zhi, his gaze was very complicated.
For Tian's eyes, Xia Zhi has become accustomed to it.
"Xia Zhi, you have thought of it for everyone, you have arranged it for everyone, you have arranged it for your second and third uncles, people say it is good, and I will be grateful to you in the future, then I won't say it. I'll ask you, you've arranged everything for them, you don't look down on your grandmother's family, you don't care about them, you don't care about your brother and your brother?"
"You gave the two shares in the backyard for nothing, and you let your brother and your brother drink the northwest wind? What do you think? If you don't give me an explanation today, we won't be finished. ”
Only then did Xia Zhi understand that it turned out that Tian was angry because of this incident. On the surface, she seems to be protecting the interests of Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er, but Xia Zhi always feels that the Tian family is so sour, mainly because of the sentence...... "You don't look down on your grandmother's family, regardless of them."
Xia Zhi smiled: "Mother, why don't I care about my brother and my brother." I handed over those two businesses to my second and third uncles, but I didn't hand them over to Xiao Linzi, Erzhu and Xia Yang. Isn't my father the breadwinner of our family? My father teaches at the academy and has a decent salary. Mother, what do you mean, you won't let my father teach, and follow my second and third uncles to learn to do business?"
"Oh......" Tian was a little speechless, she didn't expect Xia Zhi to answer her like this.
"That'...... Your brother and your brother don't need it now, what about the future? You have handed over all the money-making business to others, what will your brother and your brother do in the future?" Tian was still heartbroken, "I won't talk about your third uncle first, just talk about your second uncle." You don't know what kind of people they are, let me tell you about it? Don't expect them to thank you in the future, it's good not to complain about you. Just let you~ Ye and your milk feed them, you can manage it so widely!"
"There is such a good errand, you don't keep it for your brother and your brother to do, you let your uncle do it!"
Tian finally got to the point.
