Volume 1 Chapter 35 The Silver Is Gone?!
Shopkeeper Zhang sat at Mu's house for a while and then left, and he had to rush back to Peach Blossom Town to deal with other things. Now that it has been negotiated with Xiushui Village, Peach Blossom Restaurant is about to start preparing to launch new dishes, and success or failure is here!
The shopkeeper is full of enthusiasm and decided to take advantage of this opportunity to reverse the declining profit of Peach Blossom Restaurant and revive its glory!
Mu Jinxi instructed the shopkeeper on how to make sure that the fish was still fresh when they arrived at the Peach Blossom Restaurant, and that there were no dead fish, not even those who were in good spirits. Then in the past few days when the new dishes were launched, she had to go to the Peach Blossom Restaurant to help, of course, it was not an obligation, it was paid, and it was the shopkeeper who said that she couldn't take advantage of her.
If you have money, you don't make money, you don't make money, Mu Jinxi accepted it with peace of mind, and sent someone to pick her up early in the morning, and then sent her back to Xiushui Village in the evening, so she was busy for several days, until everything was ready, and Mu Jinxi finally didn't have to run on both sides every day.
And her brain has not been idle in the past few days, she has been thinking about what she should do next, thinking and thinking, and finally let her think of it. She now has a few hundred taels of silver, and the safest and most secure way is to find a promising merchant to take shares!
And isn't there a good choice right in front of you?
In the past few days, when she used to help in the Peach Blossom Restaurant, she persuaded the shopkeeper Zhang to let her join the operation of the Peach Blossom Restaurant by way of shareholding, because she told him that she could provide him with new dishes from time to time in the future, and if she couldn't join, then it was uncertain whether she would tell him about the new dishes in the future.
In order to prove her words, she put forward a new idea on the spot, not a new dish, but a slight change to a dish in the Peach Blossom Restaurant, but the result was very different, so that the shopkeeper Zhang had to believe her and accept her proposal.
So when she was busy and took the carriage back to Xiushui Village after this day, she decided to ask her mother to leave a few taels of silver when it was time to eat, and give the rest to her, she wanted to join the Peach Blossom Restaurant!
"Mother, you can leave a few taels of silver and give me the rest." While eating, Mu Jinxi said suddenly.
Mu Niangzi was stunned for a moment, her eyes flashed and she asked, "Xiao, Xiaoxi, what do you want silver?" ”
Mu Jinxi didn't raise her head, so she didn't notice her flickering eyes, and said, "I'm useful, you'll know later." If you see how much you need at home, you can keep a few taels for preparation, and give me the rest. ”
A total of five hundred taels of silver, she spent more than one hundred taels on shopping that day, plus the remuneration she received for helping in the Peach Blossom Restaurant in the past few days, adding up to almost four hundred and fifty taels.
Well, it seems that there is no place to use silver at home now, so it should be enough to leave five taels of silver, right? Mu Jinxi was thinking in her heart, not paying attention to her mother-in-law, who never replied.
After two mouthfuls of rice, Mu Jinxi added: "Mother, you can give it to me tomorrow morning!" ”
"What? Tomorrow morning! In such a hurry? The wooden lady cried out.
Mu Jinxi finally noticed that something was wrong with her mother's cousin at this time, she looked at the others, the eldest brother looked dazed, and her father didn't know why, her mother's ......
Was it her delusion? Why does she feel that her mother seems to be a little weak-hearted? Mu Jinxi frowned, and a bad premonition flashed in her heart.
"Mother, I'll hand over all the money to you and put it away, right? Has something happened at home in the past few days and spent money? Mu Jinxi asked gently.
Mu Niangzi unconsciously wrung her hands and stammered: "Xiaoxi, at home, at home, nothing happened, nothing, just ......"
Mu Niangzi regretted it very much at this time, she thought that the family would not need money in a short time, so she ......
"Just what? Mother, since Xiaoxi wants to use silver, then you can give it to her. Hibiscus said. Anyway, the silver was also earned by Xiao Xi himself, and Xiao Xi used the silver for a reason.
Xiaoxi had already mentioned to him that she was going to join the Peach Blossom Restaurant, although he felt that it was a bit risky, if it didn't work out in the end, then her more than 400 taels of silver would be equivalent to a meat bun and a dog with no return.
Four hundred taels of silver is enough for their family to live well for a long time, why should Xiao Xi take the risk? But he couldn't convince her, but in the end he was persuaded by her, thinking that it was actually good for her to do this, after all, Peach Blossom Restaurant is not a small restaurant, I heard that there are people behind it, otherwise it would not have stood in Peach Blossom Town for so many years.
Later, he simply broke the jar and thought that even if it didn't work out and he lost all the money, it would be nothing, this was the extra money, wasn't it? If it weren't for Xiaoxi's illness and so many changes, where would their family get so much silver?
So, since she's decided to do it, do it! He always felt that the current Xiaoxi was no longer the same as before...... Well, obedient Xiaoxi, she seems to have a lot of strange ideas, and he doesn't understand the ideas either.
Father Mu soon came back to his senses, and said honestly and tolerantly: "Yes, since Xiaoxi wants to give it to her, I will help the shopkeeper Zhang do things, and in the future, I will have an income of 500 wen per month, which is enough for the family's expenses." ”
Mu Niangzi blushed: "It's not that I don't want to give it to Xiaoxi, it's just that I ......" I don't know why she always feels that it's better not to say it, as if something terrible will happen once she says it.
Mu Niangzi's heart was a little panicked, her eyes were empty and she didn't dare to look at her daughter, would Xiaoxi be angry if she knew? Should...... No way? They've done that before, right?
Mu Jinxi's heart sank, and she looked at the person opposite with heavy eyes and asked, "Mother, just what?" ”
Mu Niangzi glanced at her daughter uneasily, lowered her head, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "It's just that there aren't so many." ”
"What does it mean that there aren't so many anymore? Mother, did you spend the money? It doesn't matter, if you spend money on something, then buy it, it's fine. ”
“…… No, my mother didn't buy anything, yes...... It was borrowed by someone else......"
Mu Jinxi's eyes widened, and she almost reached out to pluck her ears, because she wondered if she had misheard, her mother said that the silver was borrowed by someone else?!
------Off topic------
Xiaoxi is going to be dizzy with such a motherly anger and drag her feet......
