Chapter Ninety-Eight: Dry Button Meat (II)

"Wait! Four? "The crown prince born to the queen is five years old this year, the second prince born to the concubine is four years old this year, and the little princess born to the concubine is two years old this year, who is pregnant with the fourth one? Du Shaonan didn't believe it before.

"Father-in-law Yan came to Mengzhou to say, the queen mother has it again, and the time is pregnant in the first month, but I'm afraid it's still the first day of the new year," Thinking that the queen was Du Shaonan's cousin, Xiao Tang said more, "Congratulations." ”

Should I congratulate you? On the first day of the new year, there is a name of "Yuanzi" in ancient times, it is said that the fate is very noble, if the royal family gets the "Yuanzi", if it is a princess, it doesn't matter how much you love, but if it is a prince, how do you let the current prince gain a foothold?

Du Shaonan couldn't help but show a worried expression on his face again, and Xiao Tang was not happy to look at it: "I said that Master Du, the queen mother gave birth to a boy and a girl, what will happen to the child after the child, at least ten years later, I advise you to think about yourself now, how do you plan to do it now in your future?" ”

"Me?" Du Shaonan was stunned, "I'm not the son of the Duke of the Kingdom, even if I am demoted by one level in the future, I will be the Hou Ye, just wait for peace and stability." "He wasn't born to be a rich idler.

"Didn't want to be motivated? Yue Linfeng is going to enter the Criminal Department when he returns to Beijing on this trip, and I heard that whether it is a woman or a woman's parents, they always want to find someone who is motivated. "Don Jr. is in a good mood today and is willing to guide him.

"I'm a relative." Du Shaonan spread his hands and acted helplessly, can his relatives rest assured that the emperor is going up?

"Yu Xiao is also a relative." Xiao Tang said lightly.

"But it was different." At that time, the Queen Mother and the Emperor were orphans and widows, and they were loyal to the common hardships. If he struggles as a relative now, Li Mu won't think much about it? "What's more, Yu Xiao has no official position so far." Isn't this also avoiding suspicion.

"Did I say that being motivated means being an official?" So what is Don himself?

"You mean to let me go into business?" This is the same as Du Shaonan's thoughts, "Didn't I open a restaurant?" ”

"At first, when I saw you open a restaurant, I had to bow down to everything. I thought you weren't lying on your ancestors' hard-earned money to eat your old book, but you were still decent before and when you first opened, and then Lu Tingqi was eyeing you, and the fault was naturally not you, but it has been three days since Yu Xiao closed the case, what have you been doing in the past three days? ”

After Xiao Tang finished speaking, he turned around and ignored Du Shaonan, just as the steamed meat was cooled again. He cut the skin down into squares, each knife reaching the skin, but the skin had to be cut uncut. Then put the meat in a large bowl, still skin side down, fill the minced shrimp into the **** cut out, and sprinkle ginger slices, garlic cloves, green onions, and cooking wine on top. The top drawer is steamed.

Du Shaonan knew that the cooking wine that Xiao Tang spilled was specially made by him. In addition, he is very good at mastering the heat, so the steamed dry button meat has a shrimp flavor, fragrant but not greasy, rotten but not noodles, as long as there is no meat skin, he can definitely eat a big bowl!

But now Du Shaonan is at the door of the kitchen, a stone's throw away, he doesn't have the heart to wait for the dry button meat to be cooked, what has he done in the past three days? The first day was a celebration banquet, but it was not a sincere celebration. planned to take the opportunity to intercede for Mrs. Han, but he knew that Mrs. Han might have killed his wife who had been married for more than 40 years.

Such a ruthless old lady. Du Shaonan dared to associate with his grandfather in his previous life, after he sent Liu Yiyi home, he went back to his house to solve the trouble that Mrs. Li gave him.

In the morning, Yue Linfeng and Du Shaonan went to report to Mrs. Li that they were safe, and told her that the person who wanted her grandson's life had been caught, as for the reason why Lu Tingqi wanted to kill Du Shaonan, it was because he misunderstood Du Shaonan, thinking that the young master of the Du family was clearly saving those poor girls from the fire pit, but in fact, he had a good reputation and then hid people, and he was uneasy and kind.

Mrs. Li never dreamed that her arrangement would affect her grandson's life, but could she be blamed? Who made Du Shaonan not close to women since she was a child, and made her worry about the big event of the Du family's inheritance, and then it was rare to see that Du Shaonan was more interested in those women, so he left him, why did he cause death?

"The old body saw that they were pitiful, and they had nowhere to go when they were rescued, so they kindly took them in, they were raised in brocade clothes and food, taught them in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and everyone was just like that, why did they make the thieves worry about it?" In front of Yue Linfeng, Old Madam Li was still stiff-mouthed.

As the grandson of Mrs. Li, Du Shaonan knew that Mrs. Li was cowardly, because whether it was Yue Linfeng or Lin Yuxiao, this matter would be reported to the emperor, and everyone understood that what was done was not authentic, what should I do if I knew the face of the queen?

Moreover, if Du Shaonan didn't understand her kindness and only blamed her for putting herself in danger, and from then on her distant grandmother and biological mother, wouldn't she gain more than she lost?

So Du Shaonan took this opportunity to let Mrs. Li release all the women, and Mrs. Li agreed.

It's easy to agree, but it's not easy to let go, those women can be sold by their fathers and brothers, it can be seen that the family background was not good before, and then they were locked up in a palatial mansion by Mrs. Li, and they are indeed "raised with brocade clothes and jade food, and taught by piano, chess, calligraphy and painting", and the grandmother and the housekeeper instilled in them all day long how rich and noble they were when they became aunts, especially their children were born as young masters and misses, and they no longer had to worry about being sold.

After many of them had become accustomed to and enjoyed this kind of life, the Du family actually wanted to drive them away!? Where are they going? How can you go back to the hard days of laundry, cooking, and carrying water in the fields? What's more, the longest among them is more than a year, who would believe that they are still innocent!?

These women made a fuss, making Mrs. Li panicked, these small families really can't get on the stage! At the beginning, she cried and shouted that she didn't want to be locked up, but now she is crying and shouting and not wanting to leave, she doesn't care about them eating and wearing the Du family for nothing, they take it instead!?

Mrs. Li has the heart to sell all these women to find people, the so-called out of sight is pure, but these women keep saying that the Du family owes them, if they are put outside, it will not damage the reputation of the Du family and affect the queen!

It's not okay to kill people, the two Qincha are in Mengzhou, and the princess Yan in the queen mother's palace is also there, and if she is not careful, the old duchess of the country who is not sure will also have to pay for her life, and it will still affect the queen!

Old Madame Li could only reward a rich dowry and marry these women to the young steward of Zhuangzi. I also have to let the grandmother and the housekeeper show up to say, saying that being a housekeeper and a wife is much better than being a concubine and aunt, and she can also save a lot of family wealth. You don't have to look at the face of the hostess, you must know that the wife of the young master of the Guogong Mansion must be a famous lady in the capital, and you can't be a piece of cake if you don't like it!

As for the future of the children who are most concerned, how can the children of the concubine compare to the concubine, the concubine of the big family will be taken away as soon as the child is born, so that you will not see each other all year round, and the scheming mother can even teach the concubine not to recognize the mother. Not to mention counting on children to provide for the elderly.

In short, it is better to marry a decent young steward to be a wife and raise children personally. In the future, if the child does not come out of the family, the master of the family will inevitably have a bowl of rice to eat, if he can read, ask the master to reward a grace and release the slave, and he can also test his fame.

Persuading others to change their minds is not something that can be done in a day. Du Shaonan didn't care about it after he was sure that Mrs. Li didn't have the courage to kill someone. Anyway, the cause of this incident is Mrs. Li, so naturally she should have a headache how to end it.

Du Shaonan didn't think about the restaurant closing when his life was threatened, but as soon as the case was solved, his restaurant would not open, the first day for the old lady of the Han family, but the news of the celebration banquet was beneficial and harmless to the business of the restaurant. Live signboard too!

He could actually open his doors the next day, but because he was angry with Mrs. Li in his heart. waited to see the excitement and ignored it, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant came to him in the evening of the same day, saying that Xiao Tangtuo had brought a message by himself, and Miss Liu was going to enter the queen mother's palace as a female official.

Du Shaonan now has to admit that after hearing the news at that time, he was all about what would happen to Liu Yiyi's future, and he didn't wonder why Xiao Tang let the shopkeeper of the restaurant talk - this was to remind him that the restaurant should open.

His restaurant has just opened, which will definitely have an impact on the future business, for example, a few people have eaten here in him and feel good, so they made an appointment to come to Jingfu Lou next time to get together, but he came here in a hurry but did not open the door for no reason, people were discouraged, do you dare to come next time?

"Thank you, farewell!" Du Shaonan no longer looked at the dry button meat stewed on the stove, and hurriedly said goodbye, he was going to the restaurant to have a look, today is the third day, and it is really impossible to say if he doesn't open the door again.

Xiao Tang didn't answer, his back to Du Shaonan was still staring at the stove, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, Du Shaonan has a talent in the catering business, and it is even more rare that this is the first thing he has done himself, and he has personally stared at all the details, Xiao Tang really doesn't want him to give up halfway, and he will really be a chaotic person for a lifetime.

Du Shaonan hurriedly went to his Jingfu Building, halfway to plan that he should call the shopkeeper of the restaurant back first, he knew where the shopkeeper's home was, and then called back a few shop guys and cooks along the way, it was too late to open the door at noon, but he should be able to do business at night.

In this era, the transmission of information mainly relies on legs, but Du Shaonan did not dare to complain about his backwardness at this time, he didn't say it when people came over last night, and now I don't know how to explain it.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant is surnamed Gu, who was originally the owner and shopkeeper of a restaurant, and he operated diligently, because the cheap and high-quality business was good, but the result was that his peers were jealous of each other, and the other party was more powerful than him, and the boss of Gu not only lost into the restaurant, but also sold his son because his father was seriously ill.

The son of the Gu family was seventeen years old when he was sold, because he had read a few books, and Mrs. Li, who was just choosing a servant, asked more when she saw it, and Renyazi also told the true situation of the Gu family in order to make a business, hoping that Mrs. Li would sell the son of the Gu family because of sympathy.

As long as it is not related to her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Li really does not lack kindness, seeing that the young man who grew up with her grandson was enslaved because her grandfather was seriously ill, she couldn't bear it, so she simply ransomed the person, and gave him some silver taels to go home and serve the decoction in front of her grandfather.

Du Shaonan also knew about this later, he was planning to open a restaurant of his own in Mengzhou, but considering that he still had to return to the capital in the future, he needed to find a "manager".

At the beginning, he swore that he persuaded the Gu shopkeeper to come to the storekeeper, but he didn't give a reason after a few days of opening, and Du Shaonan was very embarrassed when he knocked on the door and looked for someone again.

"Young Master Du, why are you here? My dad is in King Fook Lou. The son of the shopkeeper Gu who opened the door was surprised when he heard that Du Shaonan was coming to find the shopkeeper Gu.

Gu shopkeeper in King Fook House? Du Shaonan seemed to understand something, and after a perfunctory sentence, he hurriedly walked to the restaurant, and when he arrived at the door of the restaurant, he saw that the door was hidden and only a foot-wide crack was left.

"Young Master......"

The people in the restaurant did their own thing, and they could open their doors just by waiting for his order.

Du Shaonan turned to look at the sun, and now he can do noon business when he opens the door: "Open the door, business hours are up." ”

……

Liu Yiyi was at home with Master Liu for lunch, and at the dinner table she said what Du Shaonan meant, and asked Master Liu if she could go to Boss Tang's palace kitchen to avoid right and wrong.

Master Liu was not happy: "You entered the palace to be a female official next to the Queen Mother, with this status, you don't have to worry about marrying in the future, what does it mean to go to the small kitchen?" "He has been a businessman for two years, and he already understands very well what it means to be risky and profitable.

"Isn't it good to marry an ordinary person?" Liu Yiyi looked down at her rice bowl, she is also an ordinary person, and she often has new clothes for three meals, and it is very beautiful to have new clothes.

"Is the Liu family's wealth something that ordinary people can keep?" Master Liu sighed, in fact, the original "he" didn't keep it, if it wasn't for his own kindness, would there still be the Liu family?

Liu Yiyi was silent, it was not her wish to cross, but because the people who were crossed were too rich and planned to lose all their money? It's too lacking in morality, isn't it?

What's more, if she is not smart and endangers the lives of other people, will she also lack the virtue of the previous life?

said that the palace was risky, said that she didn't want to marry Yue Linfeng, but she was afraid that the Queen Mother would not like her, these things would only make Master Liu worry, since she was in trouble last time, Master Liu has lost dozens of pounds and has not slowed down at all, she is still obedient on the surface, and after entering the palace, she will find a way to hide safely.

Liu Yiyi was not convinced by his opinion, and Master Liu also saw this, and he didn't nag her to listen to him, young man, you have to suffer a loss to understand the importance of having a backer.

Originally, Master Liu planned to be Liu Yiyi's backer, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he could rely on Liu Yiyi for a lifetime with his ability - his lifespan is definitely longer than that of any ordinary human.

This plan was shaken yesterday, and Master Liu, who was stormy and lightning in the yamen yesterday, didn't know, but at the same time, he stayed at home at the same time, and he subconsciously shivered, and his osmanthus legs were not as good as his and knelt directly on the ground, and the lotus that he sent to investigate outside the yamen was more dangerous, and he almost showed his original form in public!

The sudden terrifying pressure came and went quickly, and Master Liu couldn't tell whether the other party was an immortal, a Buddha or a demon? It's just that if his friend Bai Shan falls into the hands of this terrifying enemy, I'm afraid that it will be more auspicious. (To be continued.) )
