Chapter 69: Happy Canteen
"Gone?" Half of Li Desheng's face was hidden in the darkness of light and shadow, and the lights swayed with the sea breeze that was sent into the room. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"Yes." Wu Qi couldn't understand why he let them go?
"Then it's time for us to go back." Li Desheng stretched his neck, it was time to go back to Beijing to "get together" with his brothers.
"That Xiao Ying..."The person mentioned by Wu Qi is Li Desheng's stand-in Xiao Ying. Since the last assassination, Emperor Jingtai released the stand-in prepared for his eldest son in advance.
"Let him go, so that he can see if this person can be used." Li Desheng got up indifferently, although it is not easy to cultivate a stand-in, but if it is a stupid person, it is better not to have it.
"Yes." Wu Qi opened the door in front, and Li Desheng walked to the backyard.

Qin Mansion
Qinglan didn't want to eat at the Qin family, and when she thought of having to fight with the women of the Qin family at the dinner table, Qinglan felt that her head was big.
She has always adhered to the principle that eating is the greatest happiness of human beings, and the more people eat, the greater their energy.
Therefore, in Qinglan's view, eating is a top priority and should be taken seriously, eating with people you don't like will reduce the presence of food and affect digestion.
Although there are rivers and lakes where there are people, after all, she is a guest, and the guest is as she pleases, Qinglan can't go out of line, and she also represents the upbringing and face of the Shu family and the scholars.
However, the Qin family is only passable on the big side, and they are not careful enough to deal with outsiders. Even if it is a family, each fighting for its own interests, fighting all day long, in Qinglan's opinion, it is really a waste of youth.
Sometimes, Qinglan feels that she might as well be a nine-year-old child, listening to harsh words and being ignorant. Unlike now, not only is there nothing to be done, but it is also troublesome.
Fortunately, Qin San didn't leave Qinglan alone in the backyard, nor did he discriminate against Qinglan because she was a woman. He invited Qinglan to join them and set up a table in the front yard.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Xiaobao finally couldn't help but ask: "Third brother, uncle, he..."
Qin San's smile stiffened, and he said with a little bitterness: "Test the medicine yourself, poison into the internal organs." ”
Yes? Several children looked at each other, and Qinglan said in her heart, no wonder she couldn't cure herself even if she was a doctor, and it looked like she was poisoned.
"So..."Can it be cured? Xiaobao counted his own little Jiujiu, and he hoped that Master Qin would last for a while longer, at least pass the Spring Examination. Of course, it would be great if he could make it to the eldest brother-in-law.
Qin San's face was embarrassed, his father now eats poison every day, fighting poison with poison, it is difficult to say when a bad drug will rush and die of poison.
Thirteen gave Xiaobao a color, and Xiaobao obediently shut up.
After the meal, Qinglan and the others said goodbye, and they still needed to go to the government office to go through the household registration procedures.
In order to facilitate the children's reading exams, the Shu family planned to move their household registration to Jinan, and the landlord Zhang Laotou also signed a guarantee, but the officials of the government always prevaricated for various reasons, even if they handed over the money, it was not easy to do it, Thirteen and Xiaobao decided to accompany Qinglan to do it.
"I'll go too, those worms won't be fed." Qin San asked everyone to take a moment, and he went to change his clothes to go out.
With Qin San, a local, to help, Qinglan couldn't ask for it.
"Yo, isn't this Third Master Qin, what kind of wind blew you here?"
As soon as he saw Qin San, the official at the entrance of the yamen immediately changed his face and stepped forward to greet him with a smile.
Qin San scolded with a smile, and explained Qinglan's situation, and the yacha quickly stamped the personal confession (resume) filled in by Qinglan with an official stamp.
"It's done," the official flatteringly held the slip in front of Qin San's eyes, smiling and blind, "In the future, Miss Shu can come to receive the monthly silver for the meal with this article." ”
Qinglan is not in Weixian, so this Dishan silver and doumi naturally have to follow her.
With Qin San here, things really went smoothly, and Qinglan took the opportunity to take out the list of opening a shop again.
The Shu family wants to buy and sell water and food, and they need various tickets issued by the yamen, and Shu Lao Er ran several times, but no one took care of it at all, and it was half a month for a push.
The official personally took Qinglan and the others to do it, and in less than a quarter of an hour, all kinds of procedures were complete.
Qinglan and Mingyu are extremely excited, China is really a society of personal relationships, with Qin San's set of connections, they won't have to worry about applying for a certificate in the future! The two sisters had to take Qin San to the house for dinner, and Xiaobao beat the side drum on the side.
Qin San also misses Pan Erniang's craftsmanship, and he is as good as a stream.
Shu Lao Er received various tickets similar to business licenses, and he was relieved in his heart, he couldn't do it like this, and it was not just the effort that was delayed.
In a few days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, Pan Erniang baked some puff pastry jujube paste mooncakes and asked Qin San to take them back and taste them. At this time, there were no puff pastry mooncakes sold in the north, so if you wanted to eat them, you had to go to the south to buy them.
Jujube paste stuffing is Qinglan's favorite, for the jujube paste to be delicious and fragrant, Shu Lao Er and Pan Erniang peeled the jujube skin for two days, and even Mrs. Zhang came to help.
If you want to open a restaurant, a name is a big deal.
is not in Weixian, Pan Ji's name is not good, Shu Lao Er thought of some names, but Pan Erniang rejected them, and felt that they were not loud enough.
"How about that Xinyuan Restaurant?" Mingyu proposed.
As long as he takes a break from school, Mr. Ji will put Mingyu back to reunite with his family. After Qin San and the others left, the family sat around the hall and discussed many matters related to opening a shop.
"Sounds like a silver building." Pan Erniang was still not satisfied, she said to Qinglan: "You have the highest level of education in our family, you can start one." ”
Qinglan rolled her eyes, thought of the realm where she lived, and said, "Why don't you call it Happy Canteen!" "Luck" through the "apricot" sound, this place is called Guixing Lane, the word happiness, the meaning is also good.
"Happy Canteen..."
"This is good!" The whole family agrees, which is both popular and clear, and it is bright to call it out.
In this way, Qinglan's new restaurant set a new sign, and later Thirteen and Xiaobao also praised it when they found out.
With a name, what to eat is the top priority.
"It's burning!" Brother He's expression of "this still needs to be discussed".
Qinglan and Mingyu were silent, and after this period of observation, Qinglan found that Jinan did not have the kind of fire in Weixian.
"Stove..."Shu Lao Er's face was embarrassed, the stove that was burned was left to his sister-in-law, and now it costs a lot of money to rebuild the stove.
"No more fighting." Pan Erniang directly rejected this proposal, it turned out that there were two people in the shop, and they would be offered on fire, but now the shop is bigger, and there is no helper, Pan Erniang can't be busy.
"Stir-fry?" Brother He continued to propose, he had seen a small restaurant nearby, with three fronts hanging on it, and it looked very magnificent.
Qinglan shook her head, the daily consumption of stir-fry is too great, and the dishes must be prepared. Besides, if you are still a new store, it will be a loss in the early stage.
"Wonton stew can be sold..."Qinglan thinks that she should still make a small-scale fast food restaurant, so that the cost will be reduced, "plus Hele." ”
"That's what your father and I are going to do." Pan Erniang said with a smile, the wonton stew and music are both chicken soup bases, and the side dishes also have the same place, and the two of them can still be busy after two more trips.
"Did you bring the bed with you?" Mingyu remembered that the bed was quite heavy, so he asked the third uncle to beat it.
"Of course!" Pan Erniang said that she was going to go down to the ground to find it.
"You sit down first," Shu Lao Er stopped her, "Let's finish discussing it first and then pick it up." ”
Pan Erniang sat down again, and saw that her daughter took out a strange-looking pen and scribbled on the paper.
"Mother," Qinglan listed the ingredients for making harmony and wonton stew on a piece of paper, "We have to raise chickens." ”
The consumption of chicken soup is too large, and you have to use at least two chickens a day, and the cost is too high to buy from outside.
"I've thought about it," Pan Erniang said to the whole family: "Let's open the one on the right, put up a fence, and grow vegetables and chickens in it." ”
"Huh?" Brother He didn't like to eat vegetables in the first place, but now he feels that the dishes he eats at dinner smell like.
"Let's not eat it, give it to the chickens." Pan Erniang hurriedly explained.
"Will Grandpa Zhang agree?" Qinglan and the others all called the landlord Old Man Zhang Grandpa Zhang.
"I'll go tell you." Shu Lao Er planned to talk about it first, but if it didn't work, he wouldn't open the ground and only raise chickens.
"Mother, the chicken wings or something are still left, but I can add a dish later." Qing Lan said a little more, every time Pan Erniang boiled soup, she would first cut off the chicken wings and thighs and make spicy chicken nuggets for them; Remove the chicken breast and make Kung Pao Chicken or Chicken Sprouts. In fact, chicken breast meatballs are also delicious, but unfortunately they prefer pork meatballs.
"I know," Pan Erniang looked at the list of materials written by her daughter, didn't raise her head, and said to herself: "I don't know where there is a big set, and I have to go with your father to buy some bowls." ”
Tables and chairs are ready-made, but some are very old and have to be bought.
Qinglan continued to record on paper, in fact, at the beginning, Qinglan wanted to decorate her restaurant into a petty bourgeois storefront like a sofa booth, but due to limited funds, she had to be stillborn.
"Sister, what is this window paper for?" Brother He poked his head and happened to catch a glimpse of this. Isn't the window paper new?
"Oh, I'm going to put it on the ceiling downstairs." That day, my father and mother were cleaning upstairs, and when people moved, dust would fall on the ceiling from time to time.
"Qingqing is thoughtful." Shu Lao Er praised his daughter, this food business must be clean, if you eat badly, it will be terrible.
"When are we going to open?" Mingyu had been flipping through the yellow calendar just now, and there were words in his mouth.
"Eighteen?" Qinglan felt that the most recent good day was eighteen.
"Can't make it?" Mingyu wasn't sure if he would be ready by then.
"Eighteen!" Pan Erniang made the final decision.
With seven days to open, Shujia is unprecedentedly busy. Fortunately, the landlord is very kind, not only allowed the Shu family to open the land to grow vegetables and raise chickens, but also the old couple often helped in front of the house and behind the house.
"I can't stay idle." Mrs. Zhang smiled and explained to Pan Erniang that people are old and love to be lively, which is why when I heard that the house was rented by a family with children studying, Old Man Zhang lost 200 taels of rent. The whole house is rented for 800 taels, Zhou Yang inquired, wood has this price!
On the fifteenth day, Shu Lao and his wife rushed to the big set and got back a set of guys, and the things for opening the store were basically complete.
In the evening, Shu Lao Er called the landlord's family to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with everyone.
Xiaobao realized that he couldn't spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with his family this year.
However, Xiaobao's homesickness came and went quickly, and after two bowls of fruit wine, he returned to his original nature.
The most lively place tonight is the Daming Lake, people in the city love to go to the lake to admire the moon, and there are many river lanterns.
It's not that Qinglan deliberately spoils her fun, but she has too much homework, but for all newly learned texts, Mr. must memorize them word for word on the second day, and if she says that she is wrong, she will be punished ten times or twenty times. Qinglan was miserable, but she didn't dare to mention conditions to her husband, who told her to start school and provoked such a scene, and Mr. still hasn't taken care of her!
Thirteen Xiaobao took Brother Mingyu with him, and Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiang also followed.
Qinglan is a lively person, writing alone at the desk on the night of the festival, it is really tortured like a blunt knife cutting flesh!
She didn't go to the lakeside, so naturally she missed the thrilling scene by the lake.
There are quite a lot of people admiring the moon tonight, and Brother He'er was hit hard and flew into the lake. was so frightened that Mingyu's face turned white on the spot, although Brother He would do it well, but no one knew how deep the lake was, and besides, the autumn night dew was heavy, if it really fell, a cold would not be able to run.
Fortunately, Wu Shi took Brother He'er in his arms with lightning speed, and with a few movements, the two returned to the shore. provoked Brother He'er to admire, and there was no other eye along the way, only sticking to Wu Shi.
On August 18, the Happy Canteen opened.
The main steamed dumplings are stewed and Le dumplings, kimchi and chili oil for free. It is worth mentioning that the dumplings are filled with mackerel, which is delicious and delicious.
However, the restaurant had just opened, and most people watched the excitement and did not come in, until noon, when Mr. Ji and Qin San came to cheer, it was considered to be open.
Speaking of which, harmony is just a kind of noodles, squeezed from a bed. When Pan Erniang made noodles, in addition to the freshly ground wheat flour, she also mixed a little glutinous rice flour and sweet potato flour to make the noodles taste more elastic.
When a bowl of harmony is served, I see a layer of shredded chicken of moderate thickness, square dry meat, sweet minced garlic, dark green salty toon, pale green leek flowers and red chili oil floating on the surface of the bowl, like a carefully arranged landscape painting; That side is about the thickness of a little finger, and it tastes sweet when bitten down; The aroma of chicken soup lingers on the tip of the nose and whets the appetite.
"So this is Hele." Standing at the door and watching the lively diners, he realized what Hele was.
"That's a weird name." Some diners felt that the meaning of this side was good, and they also ordered a bowl with Qin San.
"Howler!" Shu Lao Er smiled happily and returned to the back kitchen to place an order.
Pan Erniang breathed a sigh of relief, new things, no foundation, I'm afraid that people won't recognize it.
The Happy Canteen was open until 8 p.m., and Qing Lan looked through the account books and only sold 38 bowls on the first day of opening.
"That's a good number," Qinglan cheered up her father, "Three-eight-three-eight, first strike, first strike!" ”
Pan Erniang heard Yile, "Borrow the auspicious words of our eldest girl!" ”
"That..."Qinglan put down the account book, shook her father's mother, and said in a rough voice: "Boss Shu and the boss lady will get rich in the future, don't forget the little one~"
"Haha..."The whole family was amused by Haruan.
The laughter spread to the small courtyard next door, and the old man Zhang said to his wife: "Family and talent are prosperous, and this family will definitely be different in the future." ”
"You still need to say this," Mrs. Zhang moved the thimble on her middle finger with her thumb, "the matter of those two children..."
"Let's take a look first." Old Man Zhang squinted his eyes and leaned on the quilt on the kang head in a daze. (To be continued.) )
