Chapter Ninety-Eight: Release
Approaching the end of the day, the dinner rush is basically over, most of the guests who come to dine after this hour are going to work overtime at night, the number of people is not large, after the day is completely dark, the noisy Su restaurant is also quiet.
"It's time to come back, right?" Su Miao had nothing to do, standing at the gate with her hands on her chest, looking at the dark sky outside, a little worried, and muttered to herself.
"They are not children, and they will come back naturally when they should come back." Aftertaste didn't want to see her worrying about others, and said in a cold and authentic tone.
Su Miao flattened her mouth, still stretched her neck and looked out, she didn't see Su Yan and Ning Le, but she saw Heizi and Man Fu, who hadn't come for a long time because they had gone out of the boat. The two of them wore only a slapstick, and before they stepped over the threshold, they said loudly in a surprised tone:
"Little sister, I heard that you are going to open a restaurant in Fengzhou in March, is it true or false, Lao Wu lied to me when he said this, right?"
Su Miao was stunned for a moment, since the news that she was going back to Fengzhou leaked out of nowhere, there were guests who came to ask about this every day.
"The lease expired in March, and it happened that there was a suitable restaurant in Fengzhou, and our family originally lived in Fengzhou, and it was more convenient for Yan'er to study, so I didn't plan to renew the lease after the lease expired, and I wanted to move back to Fengzhou." Su Miao replied with a smile.
"Little sister, you're not kind like this!" Before Man Fu could speak, Kuroko had already shouted with a straight face, "So many of us are used to eating here with you, you can leave now, then where will we all go to eat in the future!" Besides, this Changle Town is not as good as Fengzhou, although it is a little smaller than Fengzhou, and there are fewer people. The things sold are not as complete as those in Fengzhou, but your restaurant has the best business in Changle Town, and those passing ships will come here every time they come. If you leave, what will we do with these people, where will you let those merchant ships and cargo ships that come at you go to eat in the future! You can't do this, you haven't even discussed it with us, and you're in a hurry! The more he lowered his head, the more angry he became, and the more he spoke, the more reluctant he felt, and his tone was both indignant and sad. It's weird that it's a bit like crying but not crying.
Aftertaste looked at him coldly, this bachelor in his twenties who had not yet married his daughter-in-law, what did he mean by this mournful tone?
Eyesore!
Compared to the aftertaste, I suddenly got annoyed. Manfu felt embarrassed, glared at Kuroko, and said angrily:
"What nonsense are you talking about, you've been dangling on the boat for half a month, you're stupid. You're not a little sister and their family. Why should people discuss with you! The little eldest sister is open to do business, and now she wants to change places to do business, which is someone else's business, what does it have to do with you! It is because the business is good that you have to go to a bigger place to do business, with the craftsmanship of the little sister in such a small town, the little sister's craftsmanship is not worse than the master of the Fengzhou restaurant, such a craft should go to Fengzhou to do a good job! Little sister, if you go, your craftsmanship will definitely be able to make a name for itself in Fengzhou. Anyway, it's not far, if you're free, come back and have a look. Don't forget to tell me if you have any good things! ”
"Why did Brother Manfu say that I don't seem to have any contact with this side when I go, and I still have to order fish at your house." Fengzhou is far away from Qingjiang, and the fish goods in the major restaurants are ordered from the fish merchants in Changle Town, "It's Brother Manfu and Brother Heizi, I'll give you the address when I go back, if you come to Fengzhou to play when you're free, I invite you to dinner, you can bring your family, and the number of people is not limited." ”
She often said to regular customers, "You can bring your family, the number of people is not limited", Manfu heard the words and was happy, and finally relieved to get the promise that the fish goods would continue to be made at his house. The Manjia family belongs to small and medium-sized fish merchants, and can only rely on the big fish merchants to make three money, Su Miao is the first restaurant to order at his house, because the business of Su Caiguan is good, and the Manfu family began to sell alone to reduce their dependence on peers. The big stone in his heart fell, and he smiled with fine lines:
"I'll definitely go if I have time, and I'll let Kuroko deliver it to you in person when the time comes, and you can rest assured that the road is a little farther."
"Wrap it up on me!" Kuroko finally became happy, patted his chest, and said, before the words fell, he only felt a trace of chill instinctively in his body that made him creep.
Aftertaste looked at him coldly.
"It's great that Brother Kuroko can handle it himself!" Su Miao said with a smile.
Aftertaste glanced at her.
Defu, who was busy serving food, heard them talking when he passed by, his face was a little uneasy, he bit his lip, but walked away.
Su Miao returned to the kitchen to make braised chicken feet for Man Fu and Kuroko as requested, and casually glanced at the aftertaste, only to be surprised to see that he was about to add a spoonful of salt to the boiled wonton noodles.
"Too much, too much, you add too much, you want to salt people to death!" She hurriedly screamed, not understanding why he was doing such a thing on purpose, "Don't play with food!" She said displeasedly, "Don't waste my salt!" ”
Seeing that he had been discovered, he glanced at her, snorted coldly without embarrassment, threw down the salt spoon, and instructed Tonggui to bring out the wonton noodles.
The corners of Su Miao's eyebrows twitched fiercely, she couldn't understand what this person was thinking!
Suddenly there was a loud shout outside the kitchen: "Second sister, I'm back!" ”
It was Su Yan's voice.
Su Miao was overjoyed, rushed out of the kitchen in three steps and two steps, and blew like a gust of wind in front of the aftertaste.
I don't know why I have an aftertaste that has been completely ignored, and I have a sullen feeling in my heart, and I always feel unpleasant.
Su Yan and Ning Le came back from the examination room, and were standing in front of the counter surrounded by a crowd of people asking questions. Because the relationship is good, even the regular customers in the store are nervous about them, and they will be surrounded by gossip and ask how they are doing.
"I've got it all answered!" In the face of everyone's inquiry, Su Yanxiao blushed and replied with a smile, winning praise from everyone.
"Brother Yan is smart!"
"Although there is a little less manhood, but the brain is smart, and there will definitely be a big future in the future, Aunt Hu and grandma are waiting to enjoy Qingfu!"
"Brother Kuroko, you are so annoying, where do I lack manhood!" Su Yan pursed her red mouth and said unhappily.
He asked...... Su Miao suddenly felt a little headache and rubbed her temples.
"How did Brother Ning do in the exam?" Ning Le never said a word, and someone finally had enough of Su Yan's answer. Be bold to ask Ning Le.
"That's it." Ning Le frowned and said impatiently.
The tone was so bad that no one asked him anymore.
"Second sister!" When Su Yan raised his head, he saw Su Miao walking out. Chan smiled and called out, raised his hand, and said proudly, "I've answered everything!" ”
Su Miao nodded and asked with a smile: "I just came back at this hour, are you hungry, what do you two want to eat?" ”
"Bean soup rice!" Su Yan didn't think about answering. "It's so cold outside!"
"Where's Little Lele?" Su Miao looked at Ning Le, who was standing on the side, always frowning and calm, and asked with a warm smile.
Ning Le glanced at her and was silent for a moment. Don't overdo it, squeeze three words out of your teeth:
"Chowder."
"Okay." Su Miao smiled and turned into the kitchen.
"Looking at the reaction, Ning Le's test is not ideal." Aftertaste leaned back on the cooking table beside her, clasped his hands to his chest, and whispered.
"Who will know about this kind of thing until the final list. There are many people who overestimate or underestimate themselves in the big exam. ”
"You have that much faith in him?"
"That's for you. He was taught by you. ”
"I'm just pestered by him, I can't help it, what does it matter to me what he does in the exam."
"It's so cold, seriously, your popularity has always been very bad, right?" Su Miaobian flattened her mouth and asked casually.
"What's the matter, I don't like to associate with boring people." The aftertaste is disapprovingly authentic.
"Always saying things like that, is there anyone in your eyes who is not boring?"
"Yes." He replied lightly.
I didn't expect it to be a positive answer, Su Miao was stunned. Looking at him intently, he asked gossips:
"Who is it?"
"You." He looked at her faintly. Reply.
"......" Su Miao felt very shocked, even more shocked than being hit on the head by a meteorite.
"You should be honored that you are the first person who makes me feel that I will not be bored." He said in a calm tone, softly but condescendingly.
“…… Hehe. The corners of Su Miao's eyebrows twitched fiercely, his brain didn't matter, right?
Su Yan and Ning Le went back after dinner, they had to hurry up to warm their books, and they had to get up early tomorrow to continue to go to the examination room.
Su Caiguan was still closed at the usual time, and when it was cleaned after closing, Defu did not bury his head in work as usual, but walked up to Su Miao with Tongxi and Gui, and asked worriedly:
"Sister Miao, you really don't plan to continue to open Su Restaurant?"
"Hmm. The restaurant in Toyosu is being renovated and will move out in March, just as the lease expires. ”
"That, that," Defu was nervous and frustrated, his expression became more and more cringe, he hesitated for a long time, hung his head and whispered, "Sister Miao, there is a shortage of manpower to open a new restaurant, although I am clumsy, but I have also followed Sister Miao for so long, even if it is a big restaurant, I have no problem, I will do it well, Sister Miao will take me with me!" ”
"Master, you must be an apprentice when you open a new restaurant, the newly hired ones are not smooth, I have studied with Tongxi for so long, and we must be more temperamental to the master than the outsiders, the master will take us with us, we promise to be obedient, the master will let us go east, we will never go west, and the master will let us chase the dog, we will definitely not pick up the chicken!" Tonggui's mouth is more blessed and smooth, and he solemnly expresses his loyalty.
"I'm going to take you with me." Su Miao was slightly stunned, raised her eyebrows, and said, "The three of you are not young anymore, and there are many children in the family, so there is no reason for me to eat and live with you." I've already told your mom and dad and they've agreed. Strange, didn't I tell you about it? ”
“…… Master, you never said this. ”
"No matter how much we don't take it seriously, it's your big disciple who opened the door, and this matter should at least be explained clearly."
"I thought I said it, probably because I've been too busy lately and my brain has turned into mush, hahahaha, you don't have to worry, I've already prepared a bed for you!" She touched the back of her head and laughed.
Tongxi Tonggui looked at her speechlessly, and then looked at the aftertaste of calmly wiping the pot:
"Back to Big Brother, you don't sue us, watch us do trouble!"
"What's your business with me?" Puzzled, he asked rhetorically.
Brother Hui is so cold!
Tongxi Tonggui was very hurt and was about to cry.
The big stone in Defu's heart finally landed, and he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and it was great that he didn't have to go back to his stepfather.
After the five county tests, the students in Changle Town not only did not relax, but their mood was more exciting than before the exam.
The release date is on the second day of March, and those who pass the prefectural examination will go to Toyosu to take the prefectural examination on the second day of June.
For the entire imperial examination, the county examination is just a small examination, and naturally no one will come to report the good news, and the list of winners will be announced by posting a big notice outside the county office.
Su Yan and Ning Le were lazy to eat, and went out early in the morning to see the list.
Although the Su restaurant was open as usual, the Su family was all flustered, and Mrs. Su was impatient to wait at home, so she also followed the Su restaurant, sat on the chair and begged the ancestors for blessing over and over again.
There were many people who had nothing to do with the exam and went to the list to see the excitement, and it was not yet noon Su Miao was not too busy, standing behind the counter to wipe the cup, and polishing the small cyan wine cup.
Birthmark face Ah Jiu went on official business a few days ago, and only after coming back did he know that Su Caiguan was going to close at the end of the month, so he was reluctant to give up, holding Su Miao's hand and crying with a sad face:
"Little sister, if you're not here, where will I go to eat stew!"
It turned out that he was reluctant to stew......
"Second sister! Second sister! Second sister! Su Yan's loud voice came from outside with a thick surprise, and it was excited and agitated like never before, such a loud voice made the Su family's hearts tremble!
Su Yan rushed in, tripped over the threshold and almost fell, but fortunately was pulled by Hu. Hu Shi clenched his hand, his voice trembled, and he asked nervously and excitedly:
"How? Did you get in? ”
Su Yan just laughed, her snow-white little face flushed, and she was panting breathlessly.
Hu was so anxious that his eyebrows wrinkled into a dead pimple.
Chen Liu, who was originally going to see the excitement and came back with Su Yan at this time, knew that Hu was anxious, and replied with a smile:
"Aunt Hu, don't worry, your brother Yan is out, and he has won the county test!"
Full house!
Hu Shi was ecstatic, leaned on Su Miao's body with weak legs, and thanked all the gods with his hands together, almost crying. Mrs. Su was the same, and knelt down on the spot to thank the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the Su family.
Su Miaoxi couldn't help but touch Su Yan's head and praised it, and when she looked at Ning Le, who finally stepped into the threshold with a gloomy face, her heart beat slightly, and she asked with a smile:
"Where's Little Lele?"
Ning Le glanced at her, turned his eyes away, and didn't answer.
The jubilant atmosphere that had been jubilant just now suddenly calmed down, and everyone looked at him cautiously with sympathetic or disappointed eyes.
Chen Wu smiled, patted Ning Le's shoulder, and said loudly: "Brother Ning is not bad, although he is the second-to-last, he has also been hit!" ”
Ning Le pushed his hand away angrily, and said angrily: "'Remove the word 'good' for Lao Tzu!" ”
The silence lasted for half a minute, and the audience boiled again!
All kinds of praise and congratulations were endless, and Su Miao said with a smile:
"That's good, it seems to be a reading material, but I just didn't have to work before."
"Long-winded!" Ning Le stiffly spit out two words, paused, but couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from rising, and laughed happily. (To be continued......)
