"Hot pot? Since the lady has said it, it must be delicious. Du Lisheng smiled dotingly, the little lady always has a strange way to eat, the last crisp bun, and the previous barbecue and so on.

"It's not me blowing it with you, the hot pot I cooked is delicious, and I will definitely ask you to taste it when the time comes, especially in winter, it is very comfortable to eat some warm-up."

Zhou Xinzhi stopped in time as she spoke, and her saliva flowed out if she continued to speak.

But you can try it, and wait for the winter to divide the Xu's pastries and change it to a hot pot restaurant.

"How much silver do we have to make a small iron pot here?"

She originally wanted to ask about the copper pot, but thinking that it was still the most primitive technology, the copper smelted might also be poisonous, and she couldn't afford to make usable copper.

"In the case of the blacksmith shop, if the ordinary small iron pot is only a few tens of yuan, it is not very expensive, and the lady wants to play the pot?"

Zhou Xinzhi nodded, she will try it after a while, if she can study this hot pot restaurant, three or five friends, drink and eat some hot pot to warm up in winter, it is really beautiful.

"Then it'll be fine in a few days, let's go and see."

The two talked and laughed and returned to the small courtyard at home, and when they got home, Du Rongsheng waited outside for a while, and Zhou Xinzhi wanted to laugh with a thoughtful look.

In her opinion, this man probably wants to do some bad water.

Put down the rattan basket on her back and wash her hands, Zhou Xinzhi didn't plan to mix, and went back to the house to draw drawings.

She had to think carefully about what kind of pot she was going to make.

"Xiao Tongzi, do you have any red oil for hot pot here?" She suddenly thought of the most important question, hot pot, or spicy pot is the most enjoyable!

"Of course there is, is this going to be exchanged?"

"No, no, no, not now, I'm just asking, maybe I'll use it in a few days."

After a sigh, the well water became cooler after the autumn, and after washing his hands, his fingers began to stiffen a little.

As soon as she was about to start drawing, Du Lisheng came in with a bowl of brown sugar water.

"I just came back and cooked a bowl for you, this autumn is cool, before the doctor said that the woman is weak and can't catch a cold, I cooked a bowl for you to warm up, I went out first, and the lady called me if she had something."

After speaking, he hurriedly went out.

Looking at the dark brown sugar water in this bowl, not to mention, it smells so sweet.

It should have been cold outside for a while, the temperature was just right, and it wasn't hot, Zhou Xinzhi took a small sip, which was sweet.

I don't know if it's the sweet taste of this sweet water, or Du Lisheng's heart-warming gesture that makes her feel comfortable, this bowl of belly, there is nothing unhappy.

After drinking, Zhou Xinzhi began to draw the pot pattern she needed on the paper.

She still decided to continue the modern style, making it into a four-square grid and a two-square grid, and originally wanted to make a nine-square grid, but unfortunately she didn't have the leisure to make so many soup bases.

With a pot, you have to think about the charcoal, Zhou Xinzhi just developed charcoal today, maybe this charcoal can be used here, if it is not enough, then go to the charcoal shop to buy, you can also save a lot of money.

It's a pity that it would be much more convenient if there was electricity in this era.

But it's okay if it's inconvenient, she can create it herself!

In the courtyard, Du Lisheng poured a cup of tea for Du Rongsheng, "I heard from the Li family, are you going to borrow money from me to do business?" ”

Du Rongsheng nodded, "There are really a lot of losses in this autumn's harvest, and the harvest of these dozens of acres of land has all been lost, my father-in-law saw me like this, so he showed me a way, and did some reselling small business with my brother-in-law, but now I don't have any capital in my hand." ”

"What business?" Du Lisheng took a sip of water and continued to ask.

It's just that this question made Du Rongsheng frown, "Big brother, this question is ......."

"Rongsheng, we have grown up together, do you think I won't be able to see what you think? I didn't expect you to pay it back then, Xin Zhi also said, even if this is the case, we have to borrow it, but I still have to know more clearly. ”

Du Rongsheng bit his lip, he couldn't say anything about it.

It's not because of anything else, it's just that this trade is really a bit impolite.

"It's just a general jade business, and my father-in-law said there is no problem." Du Rongsheng said casually, in fact, his father-in-law didn't know much about this matter.

Even he always felt that his brother-in-law was in the business of reselling jade.

Jade? Du Lisheng always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong.

"Eh, have you heard, Sanli Village lost another big girl, the girl of the Fu family is very smart, and in the past, she didn't go out of the gate, that is, she went to the river to wash her clothes, but I didn't expect it to be lost."

"Tsk, no, people say that this girl is more than lucky, I don't know what's going on recently."

"Don't mention it, if you want me to say that the old place in Sanli Village is not clean, and it always loses the girl, I see, let's go back quickly and take care of the girl."

"You're right."

The voices of the two ladies were getting smaller and smaller, but Du Rongsheng's sweat beads were dripping.

"It's hot?" Du Lisheng glanced at him, looked at his abnormality and raised an eyebrow.

"Ah, no, it's just a little unwell, big brother, that's it."

"I also have a general understanding, I'll discuss it with Xinzhi when I go back, and I'll give you a reply tomorrow, you know, now that Xinzhi earns all the money, it's not good for me to reply to you directly."

Du Rongsheng saw that there was a door to this matter, and he didn't bother much, nodded and went back to his yard.

After the others left, Zhou Xinzhi came out of the inner room, still eating the fruit picked back today.

With a click, the juice and aroma of the pear filled his mouth, "He has a problem." ”

"What's wrong?" Du Lisheng glanced at the little lady sideways, and he didn't quite understand what the little lady meant.

"When the two aunts mentioned Sanli Village just now, I saw that his body stiffened, and he was a big man, he was definitely not afraid, and he didn't have a girl at home, so I dared to guess that this matter had something to do with him."

Zhou Xinzhi sat on the stone bench, her eyes tightened, if this was the case, then this matter would be a big deal.

"You mean...... Du Lisheng's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it, "reselling people?" ”

"Possibly." Zhou Xinzhi did not evade this question, "Maybe I kidnapped those girls and bought them in remote villages." ”

This is also common in modern times, college students are abducted and trafficked to small mountain villas and so on, especially now all the little girls are lost.

"What do you say about this?" Zhou Xinzhi still looked at Du Lisheng, and after knowing this possibility, he would lend Du Rongsheng silver.

Even if it is borrowed, it doesn't matter, after all, they are all siblings who have been brothers for more than ten years.

But this thing......

"Let's take a look first, if it really seems like the lady said, I want to know what he wants the silver to do, this is a profitable business, why do you have to put money in it? I'm also afraid that he will be deceived again. ”

What Du Lisheng said made some sense, but Zhou Xinzhi still laughed out loud.

"He's still being deceived? The people in his mother-in-law's family wouldn't be so shameless. ”

"I don't know, what does the lady think?" He got up and grabbed the rabbit, sat down as he spoke, and began to peel the rabbit.

Pinching her chin, Zhou Xinzhi pouted and began to think about this matter, which was indeed a little difficult to do.

If it really is what she says, then this matter is really complicated.

"It's better to lend the silver out and observe, if that's the case, then we can only kill our relatives in righteousness, and it doesn't hurt if he is also deceived in this matter, but if he already knows, then this matter is indeed too unconscionable, and there is no need to protect him."

"Okay, then do what the lady says." Du Lisheng nodded, and the matter of this silver was decided.

"Tomorrow, you tell him first, the settlement of the shop's surplus will wait for two days later, and after two days, let's call Qin Shuang, follow him, and if it is true at that time, it is better to take it directly."

"Okay."

Early the next morning, Du Lisheng made it clear to Du Rongsheng according to what Zhou Xinzhi said, and said that he would give him the silver in three days.

When the two arrived at the shop, Zhou Xinzhi heard the news that Du Lisheng said, the corners of her lips hooked, and she made a decision at the moment.

"Let's go, let's go to Qin Shuang to discuss, she has some kung fu, and when the time comes, add me, there is no problem in subduing these two people." She got up and grabbed Du Lisheng's hand.

The soft and gentle made Du Lisheng suddenly feel uneasy, and the possessiveness in his heart became deeper.

It was so deep that he wanted to hide Xinzhi completely and let no one see it.

With a long sigh, it seems that he is really sick, and the illness is not light.

went to the Xu family's shop, and Zhou Xinzhi first discussed with the Xu family and his wife about opening a hot pot restaurant.

"It's good that Mrs. Du decides, this shop is already yours, so you don't need to discuss it with us." Rong covered his lips and chuckled.

"After all, this shop is also the family business of your Xu family for generations, so this necessary respect is still necessary."

Zhou Xinzhi didn't say much, and after this matter was settled, she began to talk about her idea of changing the specifications of the store.

"According to the current pattern, I plan to divide into two parts, continue to do the pastry business here, and find a chef to separate this door, but the kitchen is still interconnected, and the other part is a hot pot restaurant."

Zhou Xinzhi looked around at the layout of the surroundings, so that the vacant place would not be so abrupt, and it would be warmer in winter.

"It can be, but the change is so big, will the business of our pastry shop be delayed at that time, and those customers ......?"

Qi is a little worried, this shop has finally saved some old customers, but if it is such a toss, won't all of them be in vain?

The most important thing to ignore in this business is the customers, there are many pastry shops in this city, and the sound of this shop may be robbed by someone when the time comes.
