The launch of hot pot instantly attracted a lot of people, not that it was delicious and exquisite, but that it was pure and people couldn't stop eating it.

Just like some people like to eat spicy food, obviously spicy nostrils are on fire, but they still can't help but stuff them into their mouths one by one.

A pot of red soup, the meat is scalded inside, and then dipped in some sauce, it tastes great, and the price of a pot of hot pot is not expensive, one hundred Wen, there are meat and vegetarian, if you don't eat enough, then ask Xiao Er to add what you like to eat, and settle the account together after eating, which is enough to eat satisfied.

Now that the post station is established, the number of people who come and go to do business has gradually increased, and the local businessmen have smelled the business opportunities, and all kinds of transactions have been done.

In addition, the last time Shen Ning and Tang Yanxiu secretly mentioned the matter of the restaurant in the post station to the county commander, they learned that the county magistrate himself had a son who also studied in Akiyama Academy, and the mountain chief of Akiyama Academy was on their side, could it be that the county magistrate would still help his nephew slap his son's mountain chief in the face? He's not stupid.

So, Shen Ning was relieved, in this world, the status of scholars is relatively high, not to mention his son's husband, you must know that respecting the teacher is still ahead!

Sure enough, within a few days, the post house restaurant did not say anything more about chess, but the dishes were still copied, but I heard that the other party had recruited a new chef.

"It doesn't matter, there is a chef in the family, there are two of us, people work hard, we work harder, and we are not afraid of no business!"

The people in the restaurant were encouraged by Shen Ning, especially the two chefs, who immediately patted their shoulders and said that they were definitely not bad, one of them was still a chef in Wuzhou, and then the restaurant closed, so they came here, Shen Ning's salary was not low, if there were new dishes, there would be additional rewards, so I was not afraid that they would not care.

Everyone is motivated, but there is only one person, who seems to be a little unrefreshed.

"Tang Qi, tell me, what's wrong with you? How can you be so absent-minded. ”

"Ahh

"Second shopkeeper, I didn't, it's fine." Tang Qi hurriedly started to do the work in his hands, but his face didn't change much, and Shen Ning wondered, what happened to this Tang little rabbit?

I couldn't get an answer to the question, and after a few days, the answer was automatically delivered to my door.

"Chief Zhai Shan, you said, do you want to accept Tang Qi as a student?" It's no wonder that Shen Ning was surprised, what Zhai Shanchang said here about accepting students is really a different meaning, because Shanchang, logically speaking, the students in the academy are all his students, and the acceptance of students he is talking about here should have the taste of "personal disciples".

"Tang Qi didn't tell me about this." Shen Ning thought for a while, and suddenly knew why Tang Qi was sullen during this time, it turned out to be this matter!

"Xiao Wu, you go and call Tang Qi over, just say that I have something to tell him." Shen Ning saw Li Wu walking by, and stopped him by the way, asking him to help find Tang Qi.

Li Wu left in response, and after a while, Tang Qi came over, and when he saw Zhai Shubai opposite Shen Ning, his brows furrowed.

"Second shopkeeper."

"Xiao Qi'er, do you want to go to the academy to study?"

"The second shopkeeper, Xiao Qi doesn't want to go anywhere, I'll just help the second shopkeeper do things." Tang Qi knelt down for Shen Ning with a plop, the expression on his face was panicked and sad, Shen Ning was startled, and then immediately went over, wanting to pull the person up.

"Tang Qi, you get up, it's Zhai Shanchang who wants to accept you as a student, I called you here to ask your opinion, if you don't want to, forget it."

finally pulled the person up, and Shen Ning persuaded him again.

"But you are still young, it is impossible to stay in this restaurant in the future, follow Zhai Shanchang, you can still learn something, maybe you can also take a fame test in the future, say it, we are also majestic!" Although Tang Qi is still a slave now, as long as he takes the deed of sale to the yamen to cancel it, he can still participate in the imperial examination, and it can be seen that Tang Qi does not like to read, and Shen Ning is still holding books and gnawing at his age.

"Tang Qi, you have a very high understanding of books, don't bury yourself, if you are worried about the two shopkeepers, you can come back to help in the future, the academy is not far from the restaurant."

"Zhai Shanchang, the second shopkeeper ......" Tang Qi's face was a little embarrassed, he really wanted to go to the academy to study, but in that case, wouldn't he be sorry for the two shopkeepers.

"Go ahead, study hard, if you have a chance, your father will be very happy."

Just as he was hesitating, words came from behind him, and several people looked up, it was Tang Yanxiu.

"You're here." Shen Ning breathed a sigh of relief, he really didn't know how to deal with this kind of scene, if one of them didn't mess up, then he would become a sinner.

"Hmm." Tang Yanxiu first glanced at Shen Ning a few times, and then turned to Zhai Shubai on the side.

"Chief Zhai Shan."

"Shopkeeper Tang." Zhai Shubai replied, looking at Tang Yanxiu who continued to talk to Tang Qi with some doubts, he always felt that the temperament of this Tang shopkeeper was not as good as that of ordinary people, but now it seems that it is more like ......

"Zhai Shanchang, Tang Qi agreed." Shen Ning's words interrupted Zhai Shubai's thoughts, and he immediately looked at Tang Qi who was standing aside.

"You're really decided?"

"Yes, mountain, sir." Tang Qi's face was a little red, Shen Ning looked at it and nodded, this is what a little rabbit should look like, and then quietly gave Tang Yanxiu a thumbs up where others were not paying attention.

Tang Yanxiu smiled.

"Okay, okay." Zhai Shubai suddenly laughed, "Then you can clean up, go to the academy in a few days, I will arrange a place for you to live, and the two shopkeepers will take care of it more in the next few days." ”

"Tang Qi's original surname is Tang, and we should help him." Shen Ning smiled kindly on the surface, but in his heart, he was slandering.

He has just accepted the apprenticeship, and he has become his own family.

However, slander is slander, Tang Qi has a good place to go, and Shen Ning is also happy for him.

"Xie Da shopkeeper, Xie Er shopkeeper, I'm ...... I really don't know how to thank ......" Tang Qi was really excited, since he was sold, he never thought that he would have today, he thought that it would be a great luck to meet a good master, but he didn't expect ......

"You just study hard, and then this restaurant will rely on you to help promote it!" Shen Ning made a joke, and then wanted to reach out and pat it

The other person's shoulder was used as a sign of encouragement, but as soon as the hand moved, he was caught.

The corners of his mouth twitched, but Shen Ning still didn't stretch it out, and finally could only express his encouragement verbally.

It wasn't until Tang Qi walked away that Shen Ning turned around.

"Can you let it go?"

The place where the two of them were standing was inconspicuous, and now that the weather was starting to get cooler, Tang Yanxiu was wearing a wide robe, and as soon as the sleeves were covered, he naturally couldn't see the movements below.

"If I let go, you won't remember it again, so it's better to keep pulling." Tang Yanxiu looked helpless, I have a helpless expression when you make a mistake, Shen Ning wanted to withdraw his hand, but not only did he not pull it back, but the other party's body got closer.

"Stop, don't come closer!" The familiar breath came from his nose, and Shen Ning was a little dizzy, and his body was a little hot.

This damn body.

Shen Ning grinds his teeth, and this situation will continue for a month, thinking about it, he feels that life is hopeless.

In the end, Shen Ning was dragged back to the room.

In a room where several people lived, Tang Qi was packing up his things.

He is fifteen years old this year, when he was twelve years old, there was an accident in the family, his father died one after another, and then he lived with his uncle, but the uncle is a miserly person, he is a half-sized child, he can eat, but he can't do much, so he was sold by the uncle in less than two years, and he doesn't complain about the uncle, or thanks to him, he will have today.

Pack up his things one by one, as the two shopkeepers and the mountain chief said, now, he can only repay them for what he has done for himself if he studies hard and gains fame in the future.

Thinking of Zhai Shanchang, Tang Qi's face was a little red, if it weren't for chess, he wouldn't know Zhai Shanchang.

Touching the chess pieces under his hand, Tang Qi neatly put them in the box one by one and covered them.

On the second day, Tang Qi got up early in the morning, cleaned the restaurant early, and then went to the wing room on the second floor to put the chess pieces and other things in place.

Before, his job was to play against the guests and tell them how to move chess, but from now on, he will have to go by himself.

"Tang Qi."

When he was all done, Tang Yanxiu also stood downstairs, and the others also got up and started to work, and when they saw Tang Qi, they would congratulate and encourage him.

"The big shopkeeper."

Tang Qi walked over, and when he was not far away, Tang Yanxiu handed over a piece of paper.

"This is your deed of sale, let's say it first, the deed of sale is given to you, but what will happen in the future depends on you."

"You don't have to be grateful, remember what I said yesterday."

Tang Qi stretched out his hand to take the deed of sale, his hand trembled a little, what Tang Yanxiu said yesterday, although others couldn't understand it, he could understand it.

"I'm going to do it." He pursed his lips, his eyes determined.

"Go ahead."

……

"He's gone?"

Hearing the sound of the door, Shen Ning moved and finally revealed from the quilt.

"Well, the academy is not far from the restaurant, so I didn't let anyone send it."

"Alas...... So cute Zhengtai face...... I can't pinch it again. ”

"What?"

"Nothing." Shen Ning replied quickly, and then continued to look up...... roof, suddenly I felt that this person was really lonely as snow......
