After sending away the strong man, the man and his own children hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to thank him: "Thank you Engong for coming to the rescue, your great kindness and great virtue He and the whole family will always remember it, and I hereby ask Engong to accept this worship." ......" was about to kowtow as he spoke, Nangong Xue stopped him, and dissuaded: "Don't worship me, I can't stand it, I can't stand it, I should draw a knife to help when I see injustice, speaking of which, this usury is really killing people, and it shouldn't be deposited, borrowing should be in a form of benefiting the people, hey......." ”

As he was talking, he was interrupted by a familiar voice: "Uncle He, Nangong Xue, why are you here?" And Heber, you...... What does this mean? Nangong Xue looked at the voice, this person was none other than Kong Haoyu, "Uncle He? What is the relationship between this Young Master Kong and this uncle? When Uncle He's children saw Kong Haoyu, they exclaimed as if they saw the sunshine after the rain: "Brother Haoyu, Brother Haoyu." Under this call, Kong Haoyu hurriedly hugged the brother and sister, and said: "Since you left the house, I have been thinking about you every day, and I often think back to the time when we used to play together, and it is great to finally see you today." But why are you here? And what's it all about kneeling? The two brothers and sisters hurriedly recounted what happened before to Kong Haoyu. During this period, Uncle He also stood up and silently saluted Kong Haoyu, standing aside without saying a word. After the two brothers and sisters finished speaking, Kong Haoyu first reprimanded him a little angrily: "Uncle He, this is your fault, you said that you are in trouble, you will go home and tell us, with decades of friendship, can my father and I not help you?" Don't you tell us you're treating us as outsiders? Could it be that if we say that our Confucius Mansion is not our people? Doesn't it have anything to do with us? We treat you as a family, and you treat us as outsiders? What makes sense? Besides, no matter who the Confucian Mansion is, we all treat it as our own family. As I said, you said that you left the Confucian Mansion and left. At that time, I still couldn't figure it out, but today I know it, so I don't have much to say, so you should go home in the future. Your business from now on is ours. ”

After speaking, Uncle He thanked him repeatedly: "Young Master Xie." Immediately, Kong Haoyu explained to Nangong Xue and thanked him: "Xiaoxue, today is really thanks to you, if it weren't for your help, I'm afraid that if they compromise, the whole family would have to sleep on the streets." Your great kindness is really beyond repayment, and it is not something that can be replaced by the word thanks. But then again, let me introduce you to you, the uncle you rescued is the head chef of my family's house, He Xingpeng, because of his age, I call him He Bo, his father followed my grandfather as a chef very early, and then followed my grandfather as a personal chef, so our relationship is very close, the two next to him are a pair of his children, it is a little surprise, these two brothers and sisters are a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses. They are the same year as you, you are in May, they are in July, and they have to call you sister in terms of title. At the beginning of the year, the family asked my father and my grandfather to resign and moved out of the Confucian Mansion, they left without any news, more than half a year without contact, my father was busy in the palace every day and did not have time to ask, and also sent someone to ask, but the result was nothing, today is really arranged by God, if it is not for my father to purchase ingredients today, we will not meet, so accidental is really gratifying. As for the money you paid, I went back to my home and told my family that I would pay you back immediately, and we will bear the rest of the debts. ……”

"Hey, stop, since I said that I came to pay in advance, I don't need you to give it, don't I have this money for the eldest lady? Look at what you said, make our Nangong family so stingy? Besides, the friendship between you and me is not shallow, and you are so polite to me, you also treat me as an outsider. Nangong Xue interrupted, "Even if we know each other today, we will work together happily in the future." We really have a fate. As she spoke, Nangong Xue suddenly thought of something, snapped her fingers and added, "Hey, yes." I didn't think of that. Several people were stunned by Nangong Xue, and they all looked at Nangong Xue with wide eyes and puzzled, and then Nangong Xue continued, "Fat Kong, aren't we planning to find a shop to open a restaurant?" Isn't there exactly what is ready now? Wouldn't it be possible for us to take over Heber's restaurant and rebuild it? This is really a field where fertilizer and water do not flow to outsiders. You're right? ”

Let Nangong Xue remind him like this, Kong Haoyu suddenly said: "Hey, don't you just say it, I still want to find a similar shop in the next two days, but now I don't need to look for it." It's good to use Heber's directly, and the chef is also ready-made, so there is no need to hire additional ones. It really saves a lot of trouble. So the two hit it off, and asked He Xingpeng: "Uncle He, the two of us plan to set up a shop and open a restaurant, and it just so happens that you have a ready-made one, so we want to borrow your shop, I don't know what you think?" He Xingpeng was very happy to respond: "Since this is the case, then I will transfer the shop to you, but let me remind you, the business of this restaurant has not been ideal recently." If I hadn't been there, I wouldn't have ended up where I was. Nangong Xue replied: "Leave it to me about the prosperity of business, and promise to let the food you cook spread throughout the capital." After finishing speaking, Kong Haoyu and He Xingpeng looked at Nangong Xue suspiciously. The two of them were also full of curiosity about Nangong Xue's promise. "Don't say much. Let's take a hot iron ride and take a look at the shop. Kong Haoyu said.

After speaking, a few people got into the carriage and came to the South Street of Nancheng under the guidance of He Xingpeng, saying that this South Street is the same as the East Street of Dongcheng, but there will be more small merchants on this side than on East Street, and its bustle is not inferior to East Street. After the carriage drove to an intersection, He Xingpeng said: "Here it is." ”

Nangong Xue and Kong Haoyu got out of the carriage and looked around at the shop. The geographical location of this shop is at the crossroads, and there are still crowds in all directions, although the shop is not large, but the seven or eight tables inside can also seat some people. The second floor of the shop is an embroidery building, and the stairs are located at the kitchen door, and the embroidery floor does not affect. The two looked around the shop, and Kong Haoyu sighed with a little regret: "Everything is fine, but it feels like something is missing?" Nangong Xue replied: "What is missing is that this shop is not eye-catching enough, and passers-by will not notice." After Nangong Xue said this, Kong Haoyu suddenly said: "Isn't it, the geographical location of the shop is not bad, but it is not conspicuous, no wonder there are no guests." Nangong Xue thought for a while, pinched her forehead slightly, and said, "It's not difficult to make the shop eye-catching." The most important thing is to think about how to cook to attract customers. In this way, everyone can smell the fragrance and make money. Kong Haoyu also felt quite reasonable when he heard it, as the saying goes, the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. Nowadays, as long as the food is well cooked, there is no fear that no one will come. So he also nodded and said, "Xiaoxue, what you said is reasonable." We have rented this shop for you, and we will make money together in the future. This way, you can have less pressure to feed a large family. When He Xingpeng heard this, he was a little frightened for a while, and replied in a loud voice: "Young master, you really hurt me when you say this, you can use my small shop if you want, what rent do you say, what do you say to make money together, how can I, He Xingpeng, dare to be the landlord of the young master, and even more so share the young master's money?" Kong Haoyu replied with some displeasure: "Uncle He, don't say these words." I don't like to hear it, although I talk about my identity, but I don't like to use my identity to do things that forcibly seize and occupy other people's property, if you respect me, listen to me. As soon as he said this, He Xingpeng didn't say anything more. also nodded silently, and listened to Kong Haoyu's arrangement.

"The matter of the shop is solved, and the next step is to open the stove. In order for you to solve your urgent needs, I will study the recipes to see how to make them more appealing to customers. Kong Haoyu said. Nangong Xue replied: "I have prepared the recipe for a long time, I will send it to you tomorrow, we will make something different if we want to do it, and fresh things will make people more willing to taste them." Anyway, I'm relieved to have you as a chef. Hearing Nangong Xue say this, Kong Haoyu was also full of expectations, he didn't know what kind of freshness Nangong Xue wanted to achieve. After saying goodbye to He Xingpeng's family, the two rode back in the carriage.

Along the way, the two also discussed the matter of running a restaurant. Nangong Xue said: "Regarding the restaurant's future profit dividends, that is, the sharing of money, I think so, let's each take 30%, and let the He Bo family get 40%?" His family has a large population and a lot of places to use money, and Grandpa He has to see a doctor, which costs a lot. So let him take more. What do you think? When Kong Haoyu heard this, he nodded and responded: "Okay, I don't have an opinion, anyway, I don't rely on this to make a living, and it's not necessary to take too much, as long as you can let me be a chef and let me cook wholeheartedly, you can do whatever you want." In fact, my share is also for you, you are also in need of money now, if you can reduce the country's expenses, I think the emperor is the most pleased. After all, the transformation is beneficial to the people, so you can concentrate on your work, and I will help you solve other things. Nangong Xue nodded slightly as she listened, and replied, "It's great that you can understand me." When Kong Haoyu heard this, he patted his chest and said, "That's it, I have to understand you." Besides, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to open a restaurant and become a chef. As soon as the words fell, Nangong Xue laughed a few times, and Kong Haoyu also laughed when he saw this, so the two of them sat in the carriage and galloped towards Beicheng.
