Chapter 169: Why Are You Here?
"Well, my Uncle Zhao Yuan also said that Uncle Lin worked in a big restaurant in the county town, and his vision is different from ours, if he is there, we and Uncle Zhao Yuan can learn a lot of things from him." Tanabata explained.
She made it clear to Zhao Yuan first, she couldn't say that she didn't care about Zhao Yuan if she thought there was a more powerful person, if there were more shopkeepers in the restaurant, it wouldn't make Zhao Yuan feel good.
Fortunately, Zhao Yuan's temperament is not that domineering, and when Qixi mentioned it at that time, he said bluntly that it would be great if he could stay with Lin Qinian, and with Lin Qinian taking care of this shop in the future, they would all be able to follow the elder knowledge.
"But can this work? Your Uncle Lin used to be the shopkeeper in a big restaurant, and our shop is so small? Shen Chenghou actually admires Lin Qinian in his heart, but he is afraid that his own place will be wronged.
"How do you know without asking? Dad, everything started from childhood to adulthood, although our shop has not yet opened, but as long as we take care of it, who said that we must not be able to become a big restaurant in the future? Qixi didn't care about this, in her opinion, as long as the family worked hard, it was possible to have ten or eight big restaurants in the future, "And since Uncle Lin has already come to our town, he doesn't mind working in a small place, and if you look at the restaurants in our town, which one still lacks a shopkeeper now, although our family is small, if the people who work together are all in a good place, wouldn't it be more worry-free?" ”
Zhao Yuan also nodded straightly, Qixi also persuaded him like this at that time, and he really valued people more than wages.
"Then, why don't we ask you what Uncle Lin means?" Shen Chenghou was moved.
"I'm not in a hurry, I want to go back and find the Zhao family's steward to help ask someone to inquire, and we don't know about Yuanwu County. Saving people is one thing, no matter what. Employing people is another matter. "Qixi stopped first.
Several people nodded. What this is saying is that it is good to get along with Lin Qinian, and it is not that he has to guard against anything, but he doesn't know what to do, so he has to have a number in his heart, so let's wait for the news to come back.
Although this is the case, I don't know what Qixi is, so I feel that what Lin Qinian said should be the truth. And I also feel that it is like God is destined, and such a person was sent when her family was about to open a shop, and this person should be the shopkeeper of her family.
At noon, Tanabata cooked, fish and meat and vegetables were brought from home, and the morning came too early, plus the big smoke was blown all over the town and there were few people, and many shops were not open at all.
There are not many other things in the house, there are many big bones, and then there are fresh vegetables, which if you take out a pound or two of them, you will have to sell them to a staggering amount of expensive vegetables. Tanabata is not less pretended, anyway, she has as much as she has in the space. Why be reluctant to eat.
I picked some little cabbage or something, and when I was talking to Zhao Yuan in the kitchen just now, I stewed the big bones first, which is not the same as the thick soup that wants to cook dumplings, Qixi kept the original flavor, and I didn't put anything, so I waited for the soup to be thick enough, and when I turned around and waited for the little cabbage to come out of the pot, Lin Qinian could also eat it, and Qixi felt that the little cabbage was fresher than anything.
The two fish are also stewed, and the water is added to the pot, and the clouds of green vegetables and vegetables have already been washed, and the bone broth and fish are ready to be fried again, as long as they are pulled, they can be eaten.
Qixi let the second sister look at the fire, she couldn't be idle, so she took the account book and read it endlessly, and saw the plaque written on it, so she couldn't help but remember what the name of the shop at home was going to be, and she ran out to look at the place where the plaque was listed, and planned to go back and draw a plaque by herself.
In the future, I can't say that there will be a second, third, or even more shops at home, or they will open in the county town or something, but this is the first shop in the family, and the meaning is different for them, so they don't have to be the same as others, and her shop has to be different.
Qixi grabbed the collar tightly with both hands and lifted it up to cover his face, while hissing from the cold, he couldn't help but continue to look, took a few steps forward and two steps back, and stretched out his hand to compare how big a plaque to make, whether the name should be three words or four words, it is really difficult to make a decision, you have to think about it.
"Won't the young master get out of the car? Why don't you ask in the past? There was a faint sound of talking in the wind behind him.
Qixi looked back and saw a carriage behind him, and he didn't care about it and turned his head again, but before he could take a closer look at the plaque that place could be made how long and wide, he tilted his head suspiciously, and then turned his head to look over, only to know that he was not mistaken, the face revealed by the curtain of the carriage was not the little fat man Rongyou?
Rong You also looked at it, and his eyes on the Tanabata were quite calm, but he sat there and didn't get out of the car or speak, and of course he didn't say he was leaving.
"Why are you here?" Tanabata is helpless, if you don't know or don't see it, it's just that, now you can't specify it, so you have to trot two steps over and ask.
Rong You looked at her and didn't say anything, but the little guy who looked quite energetic spoke on the side, and said in the same concise manner as his master: "Back to Miss Shen, we are just passing by, and we want to come to see if your shop is open?" ”
This is really a contradiction, is it passing by or deliberately coming to see? Besides, I said at the time that if it opened, I would definitely go to deliver a letter to the Xu family in advance, but now I don't think it's right.
"This shop ......" Qixi just wanted to say that it would not open until the middle of the month, but Rong You pushed the car door and jumped out of the carriage without saying a word, and his skills were quite vigorous.
But Rongyou got off the station and didn't speak in front of Qixi Festival, didn't look at Qixi with a small face, and began to look at the shop at Qixi again, and finally his eyes fell on the empty plaque, and he looked more serious than Qixi just now.
"Young master, this day is freezing ......" The young master didn't speak, of course the little guy couldn't help but speak, Qingshan pointed to it while looking at Qixi Festival.
"Come in, aren't you too cold to blow a big smoke cannon outside?" Qixi was going to be amused, the master and servant were awkward and didn't care about the side, they reached out and dragged them into the door, stomped the snow on their feet first, and hurried to the stove to roast the fire.
Although the shop in front of this is not inhabited, but every day there will be a stove, or not afraid of the house to freeze, the northern winter is not a joke, a few days before the Chinese Valentine's Day I also heard that there were hunters in the mountains last winter, frozen so that they did not dare to touch their ears at all, and they had to wait until they eased up, or they could really freeze their ears off.
As soon as he turned around and saw that the master and servant of Rongyou were still standing there in a daze, he said strangely: "What are you doing standing there, come and sit here, this shop has not yet opened and is in a panic, so you can't keep the heat, don't you get close to the stove, where is it slow?" ”
Rong You hesitated for a moment before slowly walking over with the little guy under the gaze of Qixi Festival.
"What are you doing sitting, standing? Sit and don't charge you money. Qixi sat up and looked up at his neck pain, so he urged again, and when he didn't move, he simply stretched out his hand and pulled him to sit down.
Rong You's face turned red instantly, and his whole body was a little stiff and sat there still, Qingshan stood behind him in an orderly manner, but the master and servant didn't stretch out their hands to bake the fire like Tanabata.
Qixi didn't care, I just thought that the children of big families would be extremely concerned about their behavior, words and deeds, not much more casual than them, so they didn't raise their heads and said: "I was cold enough outside just now, let's take it slowly, and I'll take you to drink tea to warm up later, by the way, you haven't eaten yet, right?" I stewed a big bone broth and fish at noon, or you guys are here...... Here...... Eat...... Dot? ”
"Huh? What's wrong? Qixi was dumbfounded, the last few words just now were all said after watching Rong You suddenly get up, and she couldn't help but wonder, did she say something that shouldn't have been said just now?
"I'll open and come back." Rong You stood up suddenly, and finally said the first and last sentence after appearing, and after saying it with a red face, the person seemed to be very eager to run to the door.
"That...... Miss Shen, in fact, our young master is not ...... I didn't come here to eat. Qingshan hurriedly trotted out with the young master, and while turning back to the place without silver, three hundred taels explained.
Qixi was stunned for a long time before he understood what was going on, and quickly stood up and chased out crying and laughing, but saw that the master and servant had already gotten into the carriage and left quickly.
"Why is this kid so awkward, even if you really came specifically for dinner, I wouldn't laugh at you, wouldn't I?" Qixi smiled and shook his head, so he had to hang up the door and go back, thought about it and muttered to himself, "It's you who regret leaving, I don't know how delicious the soup and fish stew is." ”
They all stayed in the shop for lunch, Shen Chenghou was worried about going home to tell his wife about Lin Qinian's idea, and the family had to prepare tightly after taking the money, so he told Zhao Yuan to hang up the door and go back.
"Dad, let's go to Daji and take a look." Qixi suddenly remembered Yu and Aunt Xi, and wanted to see how these two were now.
Shen Chenghou didn't want to go, he was even more anxious to go home to discuss the shop, but several children agreed, and Yun Duo even lied and said: "Go, go, Dad, it's not far away, those two people are so harmful to our family, why can't we go and see how they are scolded and relieved?" Dad, if you don't go, then I'll go by myself, and when you go home, my mother will count you, how can you leave us alone on this snowy day? ”
Qixi couldn't help laughing, she didn't know that her second sister still had this hand, looking at her father with a helpless and doting nod, the clouds smiled proudly at them.
Who would have thought that a few people arrived at the place where Yu's sold dumplings last time on the big set, not to mention that they didn't see the two of them being counted, and they didn't even see the figures, and the faces of the Qixi Festival suddenly fell. (To be continued......)
