It's no wonder that Lou Yuzhu is so angry and speaks ill of the old house, but she really can't bear it after knowing the truth about Lou Chenglan back then. Before the beginning of spring, Lou Yuzhu asked Lou Hua to go to Weijia Village, first, to pay New Year's greetings to Lou Chenglan, secondly, to see if Lou Chenglan was criticized again, and thirdly, to see if Lou Chenglan's mouth could be pried open to know the truth from his mouth. Of course, Lou Chenglan didn't want to say it, but later Wei Laowei secretly found Lou Hua and asked Lou Hua if he wanted to redress Lou Chenglan's grievances before telling the truth.

The fact is that the Zhu family's son did take a fancy to Lou Chenglan when he visited friends in Xuya Town, but Lou Chenglan was already engaged at that time, and the Zhu family's son wanted to rob the good family, which was a felony! It is because the Zhu family has a thief's heart but not a thief's courage, and he can only wait and see secretly. It's Lou Chengzu, this brute! took the initiative to find the Zhu family's son and sold Lou Chenglan for three hundred taels of silver! In black and white, it is said that it was sold to the Zhu family, and the Zhu family is the master of the slaves and servants! If only Lou Chengzu signed alone, Lou Chenglan would have tried his best to sue the government and return his innocence, but he would be hateful because there was still Liu Qingmei's painting on the deed of sale! Liu Qingmei is his personal father, and he can't win in public opinion if he wants to sue first.

The next is the younger brother, the upper is the father, and the two closest relatives ruined Lou Chenglan's life! And what about the old man Lou? Listening to Lou Chengzu's slander, ignoring Lou Chenglan and letting his Zhu family do it, if the old man Lou went to the town to meet him, he would not let Lou Chenglan be infamous as a greedy and wealthy villain for more than ten years! Let Lou Chenglan have a home and no suffering, and can't say it, all tears and blood are swallowed alone!

Thinking of this, Lou Yuzhu felt that he was so polite!

"Ah, don't worry, if my father didn't insist on going this trip, I really didn't want to come." The old man Lou smiled as he said with a trembling voice: "Grandpa, since there is nothing else to do, we will go back first." Meaningfully, he glanced at Liu Ah Mo and beckoned Lou Chengyi to return.

Because Lou Chenglan was mentioned, Lou Chengyi's interest was not high, and he didn't even want to pursue Lou Yuzhu's trembling anger just now. "How does Brother Yuyu know about your Uncle Lan?"

"I heard from people." Lou Yuzhu was also in a bad mood, because when she thought of it, she wanted to go crazy! "Dad also believes that Uncle Lan is a person who covets wealth and nobility?"

"I don't believe it!" The Lou family said that who has the best relationship with Lou Chenglan is Lou Chengyi. Ordinary people say that the Zhuang family loves the child, but in the Lou family, it is the other way around. When Lou Chengyi was born, Lou Chengzu's talent for reading had already been revealed, and the old man Lou's attitude of being afraid of transformation in his mouth affected Liu Ahma, so that Liu Ah Mo spent all his thoughts on Lou Chengzu, and the young man who was only able to learn to speak was so bad that Lou Chenglan, who was seven years old at the time, naturally took on the responsibility of taking care of his younger brother until he was sold to the Zhu family. In Lou Chengyi's memory, Lou Chenglan is the one who gave him the most warmth. "Early in the morning of the second day of your Uncle Lan's accident, I secretly ran to the town to look for it, and the servants of the Zhu family beat me hard, and I didn't enter the door, and then when I came back, you scolded me for not going to find Uncle Lan who made him lose face, and your grandfather locked me in the house, and I didn't open the door no matter how I cried and begged. When your grandfather released me and I went to look for it again, the Zhu family was already gone. ”

"Did you look for that dad after that?"

"I found it. Before I married your father, I lied that I went to the town to work part-time and actually went to Yangliu Town, but I didn't hear anyone. Speaking of this, Lou Chengyi smiled bitterly. Walked on one leg for a morning and half a day in the afternoon to touch Yangliu Town, because there was not much money, he could only be hungry at noon, and he spent two pennies to buy two pancakes at night, and he didn't have money to stay at the inn to touch some rice fields and grass piles outside the town to deal with it overnight, and he endured hunger before dawn to go to the town to find someone, and then ate half a cake at noon and half a cake at night, he stayed in Yangliu Town for two days and inquired all over the world, but he didn't even hear the news of Lou Chenglan. After that, he walked back to the village, and because he had no money to hand over to the public middle school, he was scolded by Liu Ah and punished him for not eating late for a day. Later, it was the neighbor Wei's family who couldn't see it and gave him two multigrain flatbreads to hold him up for a day.

The wry smile on the corner of Lou Chengyi's mouth was so bitter that Lou Yuzhu couldn't bear to ask the details, but he could mostly guess it. But it's no wonder that Lou Chengyi can't find anyone, big families pay attention to **, of course, how tight is the matter of the backyard concubine room, this time Lou Yuzhu didn't find the right person and spent a lot of money, let alone find someone, it is estimated that he can't even touch a single hair of Lou Chenglan!

"Uncle Lan is a celestial person, it should be fine. Daddy, don't worry. "Now is not the right time to admit relatives and settle grievances, so I still need to hide the matter of finding Lou Chenglan." Dad went to Grandpa Wei's house to tell him about the instigation of the snail and see if they were willing to take it. ”

sent Lou Chengyi to ask the Wei family, but Lou Yuzhu was not worried about the result. Because you don't have to think about it, you know that the Wei family is definitely willing to take over this business, and it really doesn't take a quarter of an hour for the old man Wei and his two sons to make a special trip to the door to contact the business, and spend three taels of silver to buy back the cart stove and so on before the third room. Of course, there is no place for improvement, because the Wei family is really reliable, and the people in the village collect the stone snail lion according to last year's rules, and the snail lion butt is also the same as the three rooms, and the taste is made because the material is almost the same as the three rooms, and the price is the same when it is sold in the town, although there are also regular customers who wonder how to change people, but when they heard that the three rooms were handed over to the Wei family, they tasted and felt good, which was accepted by the eaters who love to eat snails and are unwilling to do it themselves.

As soon as this business is good, the prosperity of the Wei family is getting higher and higher, and they run up and down every day to contact Shiluoshi, and they encounter the sour words that do not show weakness and spray back unceremoniously, and they are really troublesome to find Lizheng, Lizheng has collected three rooms and eight acres of sacrificial land is not harvested in vain, and seeing that the Wei family's business is doing well and the income of the village has increased, I don't have to think about it to know which side to go. cleaned up ruthlessly twice, and the rumors gradually subsided.

Of course, these eight seals and three rooms didn't know because they were far away, they were all said by Wei Ah Mo when he sent the instigator over, Lou Yuzhu only smiled when he heard it, and then threw away his hand and didn't care anymore.

When the time came in May, Li Shang sent a letter to invite Lou Yuzhu to participate in the opening ceremony of the Mahjong Leisure Hall, and the hot pot business of Xinyi Lou should also be replaced by roast duck and roast chicken, so Lou Yuzhu packed his bags and led Huang Ying to sit in the new carriage sent by Zhou Cheng to pick up. The last time I shook the experience of a day was too painful, after coming back, Lou Yuzhu tossed out the drawings of the shock absorber and let Zhou Cheng hit a new carriage, although because of the road conditions, the shock absorber did not play its greatest role, but it was much better than before, and the speed was also accelerated.

When she entered the city, it was not completely dark, and Lou Yuzhu lifted the curtain to see the appearance of pedestrians on the road, and then pursed her lips and smiled.

This time he still lived in Pei Guanying's other courtyard, and the servants and stewards knew him, so he politely welcomed him into the courtyard where he lived before, and when he was tired after bathing and changing clothes, Zhou Cheng also came back.

"Brother Zhou came back so early?" He remembered that Zhou Cheng was busy every time he came back until it was almost closed.

Zhou Cheng smiled: "Have you eaten?" How does the carriage feel? ”

"I ate a few pieces of dim sum at lunch, but I haven't eaten dinner yet. The carriage was better than before, but the road conditions were still a little bumpy, and it was much better after entering the city. "Nanyang City is a city with excellent natural road conditions, not to mention that it is extremely wide and can pass a few carriages, but at least it is paved with mud bricks, which is a lot more plain.

"Then let's go to the building and eat." While walking out, the two chatted: "Why didn't Lou Hua and Lou Ming come?" ”

"My eldest brother and second brother are nervous about their studies, I don't dare to ask them to go out, after all, I don't stay for one or two days this time, maybe ten days and half a month."

Zhou Cheng remembered the purpose of Lou Yuzhu's visit this time, and also smiled: "Then you just stay for a while, and then go back to Huya Town with him when the young master comes back." By the way, the young master brought the drawings of the shock absorbing device to Beijing, saying that he was going to take a car to pick up his mentor. ”

"That's a good hurry, it is estimated that it will take about a month and a half to take a carriage from Beijing to here, and it is estimated that people can lose weight twice like the previous bumps."

"So when the young master comes back in half a month, I guess I have to thank you."

"Ha, then I'll wait!"

In the summer, the weather is already extremely hot, and the hot pot business of Xinyilou has plummeted, but at least it has decreased by half. The lobby was originally full but only sat at two or three tables, Lou Yuzhu glanced at the three tables of guests, sweating but still eating in the pot, tsk, true love powder is proper!

"Go to the kitchen and take a look?" Zhou Cheng asked.

Lou Yuzhu thought for a while and nodded: "Cheng, I'll go and see Master Ji and them." ”

Chef Ji is the head chef of Xinyi Building, and his skills are rare because he has an inexplicable dedication to eating, so he loves to develop new dishes and study recipes, and he meets Lou Yuzhu, a foodie with 5,000 years of Chinese cuisine hidden in his mind.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, Master Ji, who was busy, heard the apprentice shouting 'Young Brother Lou'er' coming, and immediately threw the work in his hand to the side to greet him, and his chubby face and smiling eyes were almost gone. "Young Brother Lou is here? Come on, come and see how my roast duck and roast chicken are doing! ”

"Master Ji's shot must be extraordinary." Lou Yuzhu responded with a smile and followed to see the roast duck and chicken. After looking at it, I said hello to several other masters, and then followed Zhou Cheng to the private room on the second floor.

"I'll take you to Zhuangzi tomorrow to have a look, and by the way, see what else needs to be improved."

Entering the private room, Lou Yuzhu took a sip of the cold dishes sent by Huang Ying, shook her head when she heard the words, and said, "Don't." The mahjong leisure hall will open in a few days, and Li Shang has already said that I will go to him as soon as I arrive in Fucheng. As for Zhuangzi's affairs, I believe that Brother Zhou can do it well. ”

Zhou Cheng thought for a while and nodded: "Then it depends on which day you are free." ”

After a while, the chef's hand-sliced roast duck skin and divided roast chicken came up, as well as some other changed dishes, and came up one after another to set up a full table.

Roast duck and roast chicken is the main dish, Lou Yuzhu waved his hand to let Huang Ying retreat, took a thin white dough and wrapped it in a green onion, a cucumber strip, and a piece of roast duck skin, wrapped it and dipped it in some sauce and sent it to his mouth. After eating, he nodded with a smile: "Master Ji must have worked hard to make all the characteristics of roast duck skin, and Brother Zhou will give him processing money." ”

"As long as the business is good, the salary will naturally increase." Zhou Cheng is never harsh in this regard, so the entire Xinyi Building staff are extremely active, whether it is for diners or surrounding colleagues.

Lou Yuzhu is very particular about eating, and loves to keep improving, for the sake of her own money bag and for the benefit of the majority of foodies, she coughed three times before trying to finish a table of dishes. came to the conclusion that Master Ji, the chef, was not invited in vain!

The shopkeeper cleaned up the dishes, and the two moved to the backyard account room. Zhou Cheng presented the account book: "This is the account book of the past few months, you see." ”

Lou Yuzhu took it, but she pressed it to her hand and didn't look at it. "Don't talk about the account book, Brother Zhou will talk about the red shrimp business." Two months ago, he wrote to Zhou Cheng to discuss the opening of another restaurant specializing in fried red shrimp and snails, but he didn't believe that Zhou Cheng couldn't see the money inside.

"I've finished the renovation of the shop, and I'm just waiting for you to come over and open it."

Although the lobster and snail are delicious, they are not suitable for the table, so the two discussed opening a low-grade food shop. The money is definitely not as much as the novelty, but it is better than many people who can consume it, and they have a way to get enough ingredients, so it is estimated that they can also make a lot of money.

Lou Yuzhu immediately smiled when she thought that the fried red shrimp could become popular in Nanyang City, and then thought of the money she made. "Then I wish us another great deal."

"It was a pleasure to work with. By the way, didn't you talk about digging ice cellars to store ice? After I thought about this, I told Sun Jin, and I dug two ice cellars together and stored a lot of ice, and I can sell the ice when the temperature rises in a few days, and then I will give you dividends when I have the income. ”

Lou Yuzhu was dumbfounded, and then smiled and thought that this was really an unexpected joy, it seems that this time he came to Fucheng and was afraid that he would have to return with a full load!
