But the courtyard in Pingqiao Village is too small, and one or two more people will definitely not be able to live there.

So no matter how strong she is in this matter, she can understand that the date of building a house cannot be delayed, and she must not wait until she has saved enough money to build. If the money is not enough, I really have to borrow from Fu Heng.

Seeing that Rong Yunhe was not stubborn, which showed that she did not regard herself as an outsider, Fu Heng was very happy, and said, "I went to see the place where you said about building a house." It's wide enough, and I think it's fine for both of us to build in it. ”

"What do you think of the two diǎn concerns that Steward Wu said?" Rong Yunhe raised his eyes and looked at Fu Heng.

Fu Heng was excited by her look, and held her hand again: "I agree with your statement." move out of there during flood season; Usually let the upstream tenant farmers pay more attention, and if there is a problem, it will be warned in time, and the flood is not a big problem. But living inside, safety can be guaranteed. You can also build one or two small courtyards outside the river, and pick two tenant farmers to live, which can not only take care of the fields nearby, but also protect the garden......

The two were talking happily, but they heard a sound of footsteps from upstairs, it seemed that four or five people had entered the restaurant, and then a voice sounded: "Shopkeeper Li, what I said before, have you figured it out?" ”

Rong Yunhe grabbed Fu Heng's hand, shook his head gently, and said in a low voice: "Shopkeeper Li of Fulin Building." ”

But I heard the shopkeeper of Na Li say coldly: "This small shop can still support it, and I don't have to worry about it." ”

Shopkeeper Li didn't seem to be moved, and said slowly: "Shopkeeper Li, although this restaurant is your own property. But the big and small cooks you raise, the kitchen helpers, the little two in the store, and the guards who protect the store. Even if you've cut some, there are still eight or nine people, right? The daily chewing and monthly wages of such people are not a small amount. You can't do a few orders in a day...... Tsk, the old man is really worried about you.

However, since you said that you can still support it, you are willing to take out your own old book to fill this hole. The old man is not in a hurry. Count your miles every day, drink tea, and chat. Wait for it slowly. Okay, now the old man came to go through this experience in person, also for the sake of acquaintance with his peers. Next time, the old man won't come to the door. What is there to do with Shopkeeper Lai? Let's go to the Fulin Building and talk to yourself. Leave! ”

After saying this, there was another sound of footsteps from the inside to the inside (6) dǐng, (6) diǎn, (6) small, (6), ↗ ..o@s_ (); Going out, it was probably Shopkeeper Li who led the group of people to leave.

"When the ......" there was a sound of porcelain breaking downstairs, and then there was silence, and there was no sound again.

"What's wrong?" Fu Heng saw that Rong Yunhe's eyes were a little gloomy and asked.

Rong Yunhe shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said, "Little people." It's not easy to live. "The contrast between the status of the past and the present life, what we see and hear today. made her feel emotional.

Fu Heng clenched her hand: "With me, I won't let people bully you." ”

Rong Yunhe looked at his dark and crystalline eyes, smiled, and was noncommittal. The oral vow of a young man in love, I wonder if it can still be made after a few years or more than ten years?

After a while, there were footsteps coming upstairs, but it was Xiao Er who came up with the food.

"Tiger skin fragrant meat, steamed bamboo fish, Yushu yellow fish balls, stir-fried cabbage sum, young pigeons swallowing jade silk soup. Guest, your dishes are ready, please use them slowly. ”

"Alright, eat." Seeing the red, green, and green dishes in front of them, Rong Yun and Rao had eaten in the morning, but they still had their index fingers moving.

It's true that good food can improve your mood.

"Steamed bamboo fish is the chef's specialty, you can taste it or not." Fu Heng gave her a chopstick fish.

Rong Yunhe sandwiched a diǎn entrance, the fish was steamed very tender, the unique fragrance of bamboo fish was also maintained very well, and the juice was also well adjusted, but there was a diǎn, this fish had a faint fishy smell at the entrance, but it was a pity. She looked at Fu Heng: "You can taste it too." ”

In addition to the family, Rong Yunhe also had two meals in Su Mansion that time, as well as the staff meals of Weixiang Curie. And in both places, she has never tasted fish. If there is no comparison, she doesn't know whether it is good or bad, and she doesn't know if this fish is cooked well in this era.

Fu Heng didn't look at her expression in appreciation, he tasted it suspiciously, then frowned and looked at Xiao Er, who was standing aside: "This bamboo fish is not like last time, why does it smell fishy?" ”

Xiao Er was stunned, looked at the dishes on the table, and said with a sigh of relief: "The two sons use it slowly, I'll go to the kitchen to take a look." ”

"Wait a minute." Fu Heng stopped him, tasted another chopsticks of tiger skin fragrant meat, put down the chopsticks and shook his head, "This fragrant meat also owes some heat, it shouldn't be made by your chef, you go to the kitchen and ask." ”

"Yes, yes." Xiao Er ran downstairs.

Rong Yunhe said with a smile: "Now that the store is in such a situation, it is estimated that the chef has no intention of doing things, so the cooking of this dish is also very substandard." ”

Fu Heng shook his head: "If this dish wasn't made by the chef, it is estimated that this restaurant would not be able to support it for a few days." The odds of winning it are a few points better. ”

Rong Yun and Diǎn head agreed.

"What's wrong, Dazhu?" The voice of the shopkeeper Li sounded downstairs. The voice was calm, as if the emotions had subsided.

Although the voice of the little second named Da Zhu was very low, Fu Heng and Rong Yunhe were both martial arts people, and their hearing was unusual, but they could hear it very clearly: "The shopkeeper, the guest ate the dish just now, and said that it was not made by the chef." The villain went to ask, but this dish was made by a big cow......"

"Bastard, this big cow is just an apprentice, and finally a wave of guests came, Master Wang and Master Chen are cheating and playing tricks like this, isn't this smashing their own signboards? You go and call Master Wang and Master Chen, and I'll ask them what's going on. Then you go upstairs and tell the guests, today's food is 7% off, go quickly. ”

The footsteps of several people came from the backyard, and then a loud voice sounded: "No need to scream, shopkeeper Li." Fu Lin Lou asked us to come over with a high salary, and we came here today to say goodbye to you. Don't be surprised if people go to high places......"

……

Listening to this conversation, Fu Heng stood up, walked to the window facing the street, beckoned to the bottom, and after a while, Ma Lei went upstairs.

"You go and call Butler Wu and say that this chef is gone, if this shop is not sold to us. It has to be sold to the Li family. Let him bring the money and negotiate with the shopkeeper, and if the price is suitable, he will buy it. Fu Heng commanded.

"Yes." Mare turned to leave.

There's still a lot of noise downstairs. Shopkeeper Li blamed the two cooks for having no conscience, but the cook asked the shopkeeper to pay them for their wages, which caused a lot of trouble.

Fu Heng sighed: "As soon as Steward Wu heard about the situation of this restaurant, I came to taste the dishes once, and I thought that the chef's skills were okay, so I wanted to leave the chef by the way when I took down the restaurant." Unexpectedly, the Li family poured a salary from the bottom of the kettle and poached the cook first. The cook is gone. Most of the restaurants in Pingzhou City are in their hands, and if they want to invite chefs again, they have to go to other places. ”

Rong Yunhe didn't speak. After tasting all kinds of dishes, he said, "Steward Wu will come in a while and ask him to leave this apprentice called Da Niu behind." Although I haven't learned the craft yet, I still have seven or eight points. Can't find a cook. You can also use him to dǐng on for a while. "With her space for food, it still sells well.

Fu Heng diǎndiǎn head: "Today, I will ask people to go to nearby towns to find the storefront." Take advantage of this time to close the restaurant and make a good repair, but it will not delay anything. ”

As he was talking, Ma Lei came upstairs and said, "Childe, Steward Wu is in the teahouse in front." The villain found him as soon as he looked for it. He asked the villain to ask Gongzi, you and Gongzi Rong are going to talk together. Or is he alone? ”

Fu Heng looked at Rong Yunhe: "How are you prepared?" ”

Rong Yunhe said with a smile: "I don't know how to talk about business, but I can't help." ”

Fu Heng diǎndiǎn head and said to Ma Lei: "After we leave, let him talk." ”

Mare departed.

The two of them had breakfast, and Rong Yunhe had no interest in this dish after tasting it, so they estimated that Ma Lei was back, and the two went downstairs to settle the bill.

"The teahouse in front is my family's property, I'll take you to recognize the door, and if you have something in the future, you can come here directly to find Steward Wu, he usually stays there." Fu Heng pointed to the front.

"Okay." Rong Yunhe stretched out his head to look at the street, but he felt a little emotional: The teahouse is the best place to collect intelligence; And Fu Heng obviously has never done business, but he is also very thoughtful in all aspects of the problem. The father and son of the Su family have this good mind of marching and strategizing, and they have the intention to fight for the three-third of an acre of land in Pingzhou City, and the Li family really has no chance of winning.

The carriage turned a corner and stopped. Rong Yunhe got out of the car and followed Fu Heng into the teahouse, and someone greeted them and took them to a private room upstairs. Rong Yunhe looked at it, the decoration of this private room was obviously different from other places, it was extremely soundproof, and it was a good place for discussions.

The villain was about to get up and go to Yuelai Restaurant, but he didn't expect the two sons to come here. Rong Gongzi is here for the first time, please take a seat. Although Steward Wu called him a villain, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and his words were extremely casual, and it could be seen that his status in Su Mansion was transcendent.

Asked someone to serve tea, Fu Heng told what he had just seen and heard in Yuelai Restaurant, and Steward Wu said: "The villain here heard about a cook, I heard that the ancestor had been an imperial chef, his skills were good, and he was diligent in his work, but his temper was a little arrogant, and he was fifty-six years old, and he didn't want to do this kind of thing sent by others, so he only stayed at home and enjoyed his grandson." I am afraid it will not be easy to invite him here. ”

Fu Heng pondered for a moment and said, "You tell me where he lives, and I'll ask him." It's best if you can invite it, and if you don't, there's nothing to lose. ”

Steward Wu said the address, but it was not far from the city.

"Okay, let's talk, you know the market of the restaurant, you estimate the price, try to get an idea." Writing down the address, Fu Heng stood up, turned his head and said to Rong Yunhe, "There shouldn't be a big problem here in the restaurant, while I'm free today, I'll go for a trip and let Ma Lei send you back?" ”

Rong Yunhe shook his head: "I'll go with you." ”

Steward Wu stroked his beard and looked at the young couple with a happy smile on his face. He has followed the Su family for more than ten years, he grew up watching Fu Heng, and he was worried that the future young lady would be a small family jasper who was ignorant and couldn't get on the stage, but he didn't want to get in touch with it, and found that he was a person who understood the economy, knew the general situation, had courage, and was extremely intelligent. During this time, he also regretted many times in front of Su Hou Ye that this marriage was wrong. Unexpectedly, not long after, I saw these two people talking and laughing together, as if they were going to start a business together, and Steward Wu couldn't help but feel relieved and happy.

With Rong Yun and following, of course Fu Heng is desperate. The two of them went downstairs and got into the car again, and drove out of the city to the south.

When he arrived at a village called Yunling Village, Ma Lei asked Chef Li, and everyone in the village knew about it, and one of them pointed to a large courtyard and said, "This is Uncle Li's home." ”

Fu Heng and Rong Yunhe looked out the car window, but their hearts were half cold. I saw that the courtyard with two entrances, with blue bricks and white walls, looked very magnificent. Such an old man, it's too late to tease Sun Xiangfu at home, where is he willing to go to the restaurant to be the smoky cook?

But since I've come here, I can't help but pay a visit. The two got out of the car, and Fu Heng knocked on the door of the Li family with the cake he bought in the city.

In the village, in broad daylight, as long as someone is at home, the gate is generally not closed. However, despite the door open, Fu Heng still knocked on the knocker politely.

"Who?" An old woman's voice sounded, and then an old woman in her fifties in a coarse cloth dress walked out.

"Who are you looking for?" She looked at Fu Heng and the others, with caution in her eyes.

"May I ask Chef Li, but his old man lives here?" Fu Heng bowed his hand politely.

"What's the matter with him?" The old woman did not answer the rhetorical question.

Fu Heng and Rong Yunhe glanced at each other, although they felt that the old woman's attitude was a little inexplicable, but they still said calmly: "Ask his old man to help in the restaurant in the city." ”

"Then the two sons, please go back. My old man won't go. After the old woman finished speaking, she turned and closed the door without waiting for the two to speak again.

Although I knew that this Chef Li was difficult to invite, I didn't expect to eat a closed door without even entering the door. Rong Yunhe shook his head and pulled Fu Heng's sleeve: "Let's go." ”

"Wait." Fu Heng glanced at the cake diǎn in his hand, turned around and walked towards the middle-aged man who asked for directions just now, arched his hand, and offered the cake diǎn: "Uncle, I want to inquire, that one just now is Chef Li's wife?" Why did she turn us away? ”

The price of this five-flavor cake diǎn is not ordinarily expensive, and the man seems to be knowledgeable, his eyes lit up after a glance, but his hand swung straight: "No need, no need to be polite." The two sons came from afar, why don't you go to my house to drink diǎn water? After speaking, he pointed to the courtyard on the right.

"Okay, that's the bother." Fu Heng turned around, beckoned to Rong Yunhe, and followed the man into the courtyard.

This family obviously can't be compared with the Li family, although it is also a blue brick house, but it is in disrepair and somewhat dilapidated, and the layout is the same as Rong Yunhe's home, there is only one yard and a few rooms, but the yard is quite clean. (To be continued.) )
