Chapter 117: Fellow Doorman
"Just like Shaoze said, Guangling goose feathers and heavy snow, a bowl of rice noodles can be eaten back and forth for only a few quarters of an hour, unlike Buxian Lou and Qingyin Pavilion, you can drink slowly as soon as you enter, warm up your body, our method will not work, come back, we are all at home for a good year, and after the New Year, I will find a livelihood and everyone will work hard together." Luo Qinghe said this, and everyone had no objections.
Early in the morning of the second day, Langmo took Xiaoyun to move things, and Liangchen Meijing also went together, after moving things back, several people couldn't help but talk about the days ahead, when there is a business to do, the heart is always down-to-earth, and now there is no money-making work, a whole family has to eat, what can I do now?
It's not just them who are also worried about this, Fang Shaoze Luo Qinghe is even more worried!
After the New Year's goods to be sent to Luoquan are ready, the convoy of the long journey finally began to set off, and the old Fang family may have some capital, after all, it is not easy to invite people at the end of the year, and the salary is definitely not a small amount.
Seeing the convoy on the road, Luo Qinghe was not calm, in this era of traffic congestion, as soon as he left home, he almost completely cut off contact with his family, and wanted to say a few words, it became a luxury in a dream, and his thoughts came like a tide, Luo Qinghe really wanted to go home at this time.
I miss Yueniang, and I also miss the two old people who are in charge of the king.
If it weren't for the encouragement of that day, maybe I would go back to see them, but at this time, Luo Qinghe couldn't go back, she still owed Shaoze to Fang Shaoze, and she also wanted Yueniang to live a better life, so she couldn't go back.
If you are in Luoquan all your life and do a small business, of course the family can live a well-off life, but after experiencing the encouragement of the old man that day, Luo Qinghe knows that Guangling is her starting point.
She wants to realize her ambition in Guangling.
But now in this season, if you don't have enough money on hand, what can you sell for a living?
It is easy to buy and sell a small capital with a small investment and low technical content like rice noodles, but it is only enough to maintain a family, and it is also affected by the weather, in fact, there is another idea.
A pot.
The recipe is not difficult, the ingredients stand up to scrutiny, and the ingredients can be combined according to tradition or by yourself, making it a seasonal delicacy in winter.
Once this is done, it must be very popular in Guangling, but the problem is still in the shop, there is no shop, everything is empty talk!
After investing in business independently, Luo Qinghe gradually found his way out, not to mention economic problems, even if he has money, he must have a reliable partner, it is impossible to carry forward the business alone, but it is also time-consuming and labor-intensive to teach from scratch.
It's too hard.
Fang Shaoze saw that Luo Qinghe was worried about his livelihood, and thought that he had no experience in cooking and running a catering business, and he couldn't help if he wanted to, so he was really powerless.
When the two of them returned to the Mirror Garden from the Lao Fang Mansion, Bo Ning immediately came to pay tribute to one thing, "Three days later, Guangling worships the ancestors, will the son go back to the old Fang's house, or will he be in the Mirror Garden?" If it is to worship the ancestors in the Mirror Garden, Bo Ning will arrange it with good people, and everyone will be busy at that time. β
As soon as these words came out, Fang Shaoze remembered that it was indeed the day of worshipping ancestors on the Yuanhe Festival, and Fang Shaoze said to his girl: "Qinghe, I have one more thing to tell you." β
That Yuan Hong specially asked, Luo Qinghe remembered as soon as Fang Shaoze reminded him, Boss Yuan wanted to ask himself to prepare some things for him to sacrifice, and Boss Yuan also helped them a lot, now this is just this matter, naturally it is necessary to do it for him, Luo Qinghe responded, "I know, anyway, it is necessary to prepare, I will do more." β
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Qinghe began to think about the sacrifice in his heart, and suddenly he had a whim, even if he couldn't open the store immediately, he could make a sample first and give the big guy a taste, right?
I remembered that this was the time to overhaul the house, and the meals prepared by Fang Shaoze's friends would definitely have to be there, and when the time came, I would bring out this pot, not only entertaining my friends well, but also building down my reputation first, and laying the foundation for a slow start in the future, isn't it?
After making up his mind, Luo Qinghe was motivated again, and the sorrow just now was instantly forgotten, so he hurriedly asked Bo Ning what Yuan Hejie was going to do, and then started construction.
The day before the sacrifice, Luo Qinghe prepared small pastries for the sacrifice, all of them were delicate and beautiful, very exquisite, and made a lot of them, because he thought in his heart, Fang Shaoze was not easy to work hard in Guangling, thanks to the help of friends, there are no valuable things now, but some of the snacks and tea cakes in the festival can still be sent, which is a little careful, and I will thank you.
Here, Mrs. Xi is also waiting to prepare some food for the festival, and the snacks prepared by Luo Qinghe have been delivered to the door.
As soon as she heard that it was sent by the Fang family, Mrs. Xi immediately knew who did it, and when Cheng'er on the side heard it, she ran out on her feet, lost her shape happily, and shouted: "What did Sister Qinghe do for me again?" Let me see! β
The dim sum made by Luo Qinghe was really delicious, so the little guy never forgot it.
Mrs. Xi smiled and blossomed: "You kid, are you still afraid that someone will fight with you?" β
When I opened it, there were several boxes of all kinds of dim sum, which were the seasonal dim sum of the current Yuan and the Festival, fruit cakes, hemp balls, and sesame pies, which were exactly Miss Luo's heart.
The grandmother behind Xi Cheng said: "Brother Cheng is not greedy, I think I like the girl of the Luo family very much, otherwise there are so many famous dim sum shops in Guangling, Brother Cheng didn't think so much after eating?" These two people are destined, maybe Miss Luo is our young master Xi's destined. β
Mrs. Xi remembered that day she was frightened, and that day it was thanks to Miss Luo's urgency that she saved Cheng'er, if it weren't for them, she might not be in the Xi family now.
Now Xi Chen's high school champion, this is nothing to say, when he was still at home in Jiangnan, Xi Chen insisted on leading the mother and son to Guangling together, the whole family was unanimously opposed, Xi's parents said that the woman's family should teach her husband and children at home, and the husband was the right thing to get famous.
came with me, and others just said a few words of gossip, saying that she was not a competent daughter-in-law, these Mrs. Xi family never took it seriously, but the events of that day really scared her soul away, if Cheng'er really had a good one that day, where would she still have the face to face the old couple of the Xi family? How can you be worthy of Xi Chen and Cheng'er?
At that time, Xi Chen lost his son and grieved, if he resented her, he might not have a place in the Xi family.
Now that I think about it, why not just a fateful person?
Fang Shaoze and Luo Qinghe are her great benefactors.
He is also the benefactor of the Xi family.
These things are not unusual, but for the young Cheng'er, I haven't seen them a few times, not to mention that they are naturally precious sent by Luo Qinghe, just as Xi Cheng was about to reach out and grab the tea cake, the old man who gave the things stepped back, and then said with a smile: "Miss Luo knows that the little master of the Xi family likes to eat snacks, what's so unusual about these things, Xi Xiaogongzi's is here." β
Luo Qinghe hadn't made Huaxin Xuan Cake for a long time, and he knew that the Xi family still had a little young master, so he deliberately made some tricks this time.
It was the first time Xi Cheng had seen this cake, not to mention him, in fact, even Mrs. Xi had never seen such a novel snack, there were all kinds of fruits in it, and many shapes were poured out with molds, including puppies, five-petal lotuses, and other cute little animals, Xi Cheng's eyes were straight.
Mrs. Xi was even more grateful to Miss Luo for her thoughts, and hurriedly asked her subordinates to collect snacks, thinking that she, the Luo family girl and Young Master Fang were all new to Guangling, not to mention it at first sight, as soon as they saved Cheng'er, Mrs. Xi Jialin was grateful, and said with emotion: "Miss Luo is really kind, she should have been very busy recently, and she specially made so many delicious foods for Cheng'er, I don't know how to thank her, I may have to trouble you later, bring some oak charcoal back for me to Fang Fushang." β
The man thanked Mrs. Lin for her kindness for the master's family, and then said: "I haven't been very busy recently, Miss Luo's rice noodle shed has been collected, saying that it is too cold in Guangling to do it, so I won't do it in the future." β
Although Mrs. Lin doesn't ask about mundane things outside, she also knows that Luo Qinghe's main source of income is the rice noodle, and now they can't even do this business, so what can they do?
"What can I do about this?" When Mrs. Lin heard this, she was worried about them, thinking that the charcoal fire should not be in a hurry now, so she simply had to ask someone to send the charcoal fire in the future, and then she sent more than a dozen catties of meat that the family had just bought.
I was anxious for the two young people, and they all said that they had started a family, but now these two young people are in Guangling, but they don't even have to do a subsistence business, what can I do.
Just when the old man had just left the stall with charcoal fire and meat, Zhuang Yuanlang went home.
Xi Chen came back early today, but he was in a hurry, Mrs. Lin became anxious when she saw this, and immediately asked, "What happened here, in a hurry?" β
Xi Chen didn't have time to say much, so he directly called his subordinates and ordered: "Hurry up, pour out the small burning stove, I want to use it urgently, hurry up." β
I saw a half-large stove in the lobby, and there was a charcoal fire burning in it, which was still burning when I got up in the morning, and it was still burning until now, and I hadn't even added a charcoal fire, Mrs. Lin asked strangely, "What do you want this stove for?" β
When Cheng'er saw his father, he immediately jumped over happily, holding a snack box in his hand, as if offering treasures: "Dad, look at it, there are little rabbits in it!" Sister Luo specially made it for me, but it's sweet, you can taste it too. β
Xi Chen squatted down lovingly, rubbed his son's face, and smiled lovingly: "Cheng'er eat, I will see Sister Luo in the future, but I want to say thank you, do you know?" β
Seeing Xi Cheng nodded obediently, Xi Chen stood up and explained to his wife: "The weather is getting colder, and the ladies and women in the palace use charcoal to keep warm, but the ladies in the palace used the raw wood in the yard to warm up because of the charcoal burned yesterday. But he said that this winter will be the most difficult year for Wenyuan, where can the emperor still sleep, just entered the palace today and told us about this, I immediately remembered that Fang Shaoze gave us this stove last time, I recommended it to the emperor, and the emperor immediately said that he wanted to see it with his own eyesββ"
Xi Chen walked in a hurry, and after some explanation, he was even more dry-mouthed, poured a cup of hot tea and went down, saying: "I have already gone to Fang Shaoze's place, but unfortunately I was empty, didn't I come to the house to get it." β
Mrs. Lin can be considered to understand, "So that's the case, but Fang Gongzi and they should have sent dim sum, and Fang just sent someone to send it to us, these dim sum fruits of the Yuan and Festival are all made by Miss Luo herself, if the emperor can really take a fancy to this stove, won't we just be able to help Fang Gongzi?" In this way, they don't have a rice noodle business, and they can start a new stove. β
"What's going on? I've also seen it before, and the business is good, why did you stop it? β
The two explained the ins and outs to each other, and Xi Chen finally understood, and then called the carriage and entered the palace with the stove.
On the Mansion of the Loyal and Brave Prince.
Fang Shaoze felt that in fact, these little things were like gifts between friends, and they were nothing, but Han Guangzong's family ββ, was a little more prominent, and sending these things was a little childish.
However, Luo Qinghe insisted very much: "Don't forget, Han Guangzong has made a lot of efforts to repair your house, although your things are a little thinner, but you don't want to tie up with the Marquis of Zhongyong and Mrs. Xuan, are you still worried that Han Guangzong will think more?" β
Later, Fang Shaoze finally agreed, and he deliberately handed over the matter to Bo Ning, and let Bo Ning, who had always been steady, run away, and soon arrived at Zhongyong Gong.
This time, I happened to see Han Guangzong grinding with Mrs. Xuan, Mrs. Han was unconvinced: "Last time I got a recipe from them, the ornaments we gave as a thank you gift are worth 100 gold, how can it be enough to buy her a duck paw secret recipe, now it's good, it's not enough, and repair the house for him?" How can this Fang Shaoze be so good at choreographing? Look at yourself again, since you met that Fang Shaoze, you have been running behind other people's butts, what foolish things have you done? β
first announced that he was going to cover Fang Shaoze in Guozijian, and then he coaxed others to repair the old house, what kind of ecstasy soup was poured into it? If Mrs. Han didn't know about her son, she would really think that her son had a habit of breaking his sleeves!
Han Guangzong was not happy, he regarded Fang Shaoze as a friend, so even if he was his own mother, he couldn't arrange people like this, right?
He explained: "This idea was not Shaoze's idea, it was all a whim of Mr. Yang, and everyone agreed, so I can't shirk it." β
Mrs. Han snorted coldly: "If you don't push, you won't push, but you are not allowed to stick it upside down, there are many literary seniors at the banquet, no one has spoken, you are in a hurry to rush to the top when you arrive, there is no place to spend the money, right?" β
"I'm the representative of the Guozijian, if I don't take the lead, then Shaoze's house will be hanging like this?" It's what I promised, but it's going to be the New Year, so it's not like that.
Although Bo Ning was in trouble, he was also a nobleman in the former dynasty in the first half of his life, and he knew very well about those things in the backyard of the official family, and he knew what Mrs. Han was planning to do at a glance, but he didn't say it clearly, he just pretended not to see it, and went over to make a respectful gesture to Mrs. Command, and then replied: "Madam, little grandfather An." β
Han Guangzong knew him, and greeted him casually: "Isn't this Bo Ning, Shaoze sent you over, but there is something wrong?" β
Han Guangzong asked casually, but Bo Ning didn't dare to trespass, bent down and bowed, and then replied: "It's nothing important, there is only one thing, my son-in-law told me to do it, Gongzi is not a local, he came to Guangling from abroad, thanks to the help of a group of classmates and teachers, he can gain a foothold here, so let Bo Ning send these ancestral snacks, and talk about the friendship of Han Gongzi many times in his heart, Gongzi knows that this thing is naturally nothing in Guangling, but he follows the customs of the villagers, and only hopes that his wife can accept it, My son-in-law is grateful. β
The courtesy is light and affectionate, and after listening to it, Han Guangzong couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Fang Shaoze had a heart.
Bo Ning looked at Mrs. Decree with a reluctant look, and then said: "Gongzi sent me to personally come to each family to give gifts, and I also wanted to make one thing clear; Regarding the matter of Mr. Yang proposing to let the young masters of various families help overhaul the mansion at the banquet in Jingyuan last time, Gongzi actually thought it was not appropriate afterwards, soββ" Speaking of this, Bo Ning also deliberately paused and quietly hung the appetite of Han Guangzong and Mrs. Xuan, "So Gongzi thinks that this matter is still for the little grandfather to tell you, so forget about this matter." β
It seems to be an explanation, but it is actually a radical method, if this matter is really stopped, then Han Guangzong must go to the sons of the family to make it clear, will Han Guangzong go, of course not.
Sure enough, Han Guangzong was not happy when he heard it: "How can you forget it?" You haven't seen what the broken yard has become, can you live in the New Year! β
The corners of Bo Ning's mouth twitched, and now we don't live in Jingyuan, are we monkeys?
Not to mention Han Guangzong's rebuttal, before Mrs. Han could speak, another opposing voice joined in, and the housewife of the Guogong Mansion actually came: "This matter was accepted in front of everyone, Guangzong is already a seven-foot man, and he is also the little grandfather of our country's mansion, the only son-in-law of our Han family, how can what he said not count?" If this spreads, wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous? β
"That's what Grandma said!" Han Guangzong echoed and nodded again and again, yes, how can he regret what he promised to his friend?
The housewife said to Bo Ning: "Go and talk back, just make it clear to your son-in-law, not only classmates and friends, but also my children and grandchildren, who have always made a promise, and if they say it, they will spill out the water, and there is no reason to take it back." β
"Yes."
Bonin withdrew under the majesty of the old lady.
After the others left, Mrs. Decree changed her rebelliousness and saluted in front of the main mother, and the master mother responded vaguely, and said to her daughter-in-law: "You are so old, how can you still be so frizzy in doing things, how can Guangzong regret what he promised in front of the national eunuch and the major writers?" β
Mrs. Han didn't dare to talk back, so she could only respond one by one, Han Guangzong rarely saw the housewife so reasonable, so he hurriedly bowed and thanked the housewife.
Mrs. Han didn't understand the young man's feelings, but she really didn't want to meddle in things, but now that even the old lady said so, she not only had to agree, but also helped to get it done.
But having said that, although Han Guangzong has not officially embarked on his official career now, the Han family is such a son, and the entire family business will be his.
The Han family is worried about the affairs of the Fang family's house, Yang Tong, who came up with the idea here, is already eating refreshments, which is also a small snack made by Qinghe, and it just so happens that Yang Tong and Yuan Hong have not eaten breakfast yet.
Fang Shaoze was paying an early greeting to the two teachers of Yang Tong here, and while he was talking, a voice suddenly broke in from outside wrapped in the cold wind, "Yo, I'm in a hurry today, and I'm still eating breakfast?" β
The man's voice was clear, like drops of water from a mountain stream, hitting a deep pool of calm and waves, ethereal and beautiful.
Luo Qinghe only felt that his ears were hot when he heard the voice, what kind of man does this have to be to be worthy of such a voice?
Fang Shaoze saw the shy look on Qinghe's face, and looked at the person with dissatisfaction, and when he turned around, his eyes immediately straightened.
Today is colder than the day of Lidong, so this person put on a cloak, with a fox fur hat, and fox skin gloves, and his tall figure was hidden under the cloak, but the dark red Shu brocade robe with splendid moire was revealed, and a delicate jade belt was buckled at the waist, making this person look unusually handsome.
Luo Qinghe was stunned, who is this?
