Lin Mo listened to Ma Ruowen's words and nodded, only then did he realize that he was really thinking too simply, officialdom is like a battlefield, and it is better to avoid it, otherwise I don't know when I will become cannon fodder and stepping stone in the struggle for power.

At this time, a compliment came from behind him: "Big brother's analysis is really thorough, Lin Mo, you now know that these officialdom are not a joke, don't get too close to the officials in the future, otherwise a little mistake will be enough for you." ”

Lin Mo hurriedly thanked Ma Ruowen and his sisters, but Ma Ruowen said lightly that he didn't have to care, and he would pay attention to it in the future.

Then Ma Ruoya said, "Who made this dish of yours?" So delicious? In the future, your restaurant business will definitely not be bad. ”

Lin Mo didn't know how to answer after hearing this, after all, Zhu Wen was the cook who was driven out of the Ma Mansion, and he had received the favor of the Ma Mansion, if he said it, he really didn't know how to face the Ma family.

Ma Ruowen seemed to see through Lin Mo's mind and said:

"This dish is not made by one person, I know his craftsmanship, I can't make such a dish in such a short time, I advise you, it is taboo to use people without knowing it, the sooner you let go, the better."

Lin Mo immediately understood what Ma Ruowen meant, this was to let himself drive Zhu Wen away, but he really couldn't do this kind of thing, and he believed that Zhu Wen was not that kind of person.

Ma Ruowen saw Lin Mo's reaction and knew that Lin Mo was unwilling to do this, so he said goodbye and turned around and left directly, Ma Ruoyan was a little surprised, I don't know why the eldest brother had a bad attitude, so he gave Lin Mo a blessing and left with Liu Xin'er.

Looking at the distant backs of the three of them, Lin Mo shook his head, put the emotions just now behind him, and began to plan what to do next.

The question now is that Lin Mo doesn't know if the purpose of today's banquet has been achieved, and whether he can answer the effect of publicity as expected.

Now Lin Mo is not very sure about this, so he can only wait until tomorrow to see if it has any effect.

After the county magistrate and Zhou Xiancheng returned to the county office, they saw an errand officer sitting in the hall, and saw the two of them get up and salute.

said in his mouth: "The two of you are back, and Lord Yin has a letter to hand over to the county order." ”

As he spoke, he took out a letter and sealed it with wax, Song County Ling took the letter, opened the envelope, and was a little surprised when he read the contents. Then he turned and told the officer,

"Please go back and tell Lord Fu Yin that I have received the letter, and the lower officials must go all out to complete the tasks assigned by the adults as soon as possible."

The official nodded and said goodbye, and then returned to Yunzhou to resume his life.

Zhou County Cheng also said goodbye to the county order,

Song Xianling smiled: "Zhou Xiancheng is not curious about the content of the letter?"

"Since it is an errand that Lord Fu Yin personally handed over to the county commander, it must be inconvenient to disclose, so it is better for the officials not to ask about this matter."

"Actually, it's not a secret, it's just that there was a case of a missing girl recently, and it just so happened that some of the missing girls had passed through this county, and Lord Yin asked me to strengthen patrols and investigate the case."

Then he stroked his beard and said

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it is estimated that those girls eloped with their lovers, and the family was afraid that others would gossip, so they pretended to report to the official that they were missing."

Song County Ling was still a little proud after speaking, and felt that his judgment was very correct, and there were no loopholes.

Zhou Xiancheng looked at it, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, got up and left. In Ma's house, Ma Ruowen sat quietly in the study, and Ma Zhiyuan practiced calligraphy very calmly.

After a while, Ma Zhiyuan put down his pen and asked, "In today's situation, if it were you, would you be able to handle it yourself?" ”

Ma Ruowen looked at his father respectfully and replied:

"If it's the same age as Lin Mo, I can't handle it better than him, even if I don't help him today, he can handle it himself."

"Well, it seems that I am not wrong, I am a material that can be made. I can help if I can help in the future, it's a pity that such talents are not used by me. Ma Zhiyuan continued,

"Well, that Song County Order is a bit interesting, by the way, you come back this time to stay for a few more days, the shop in Yangzhou and Suzhou will let the shopkeeper over there take care of it, and take advantage of the time to accompany your mother and Ruo Aya, by the way, you second mother, then you can also go and see, don't let your mother's family think that our Ma family does not know how to be filial and respectful, and does not respect her girl."

"Okay, father, I'll go and see more, it's nothing, the child is gone."

"Let's go down."

Ma Zhiyuan waved his hand. After Ma Ruowen exited the study, he turned around and looked at the study, sighed, and left. Ma Zhiyuan said, "Come out." ”

A dark shadow walked out from behind the bookshelf, it was Steward Zhang,

"What do you think of Lin Mo?"

Steward Zhang replied

"Very smart, a natural businessman, from General Town to Channan, he has taken every step very clearly and smartly."

"Well, but he still has too little accumulation, not tactful enough, and lacks experience, but it's not a big problem, people only have a long memory when they fall, just like me before." Steward Zhang nodded,

Ma Zhiyuan sighed:

"Do you think I should do this?"

Steward Zhang lowered his head: "The villain only listens to the young master, and you can do whatever you say, but the young master, you said that you will suffer from chaos if you are constantly decided." ”

"Haha, I can't imagine that you still remember what I said, that's it, there is no turning back arrow when you open the bow, so be it, and don't call me young master, I am almost at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and I am still young master."

Steward Zhang said seriously: "In the eyes of the villain, you will always be my young master." ”

"Okay, okay, as long as there is no one else, how happy you can be."

Ma Zhiyuan said with a smile, of course, Lin Mo definitely didn't know about Lin Mo's discussions.

Lin Mo has been waiting for Wu Shun Zhou Fu to take the plaque and the screen quickly, because of the urgency, the master said that it will take three days at the earliest, the plaque is okay, the screen is a fine job, and there are a lot of carved words, at least three days to carve.

After the two of them reported the matter to Lin Mo, Lin Mo was a little anxious, he had to take advantage of the fact that the influence of today's banquet had not dissipated to build up the restaurant, how could he wait for three days.

So Lin Mo added money and asked the carpenter to make the plaque overnight, and sure enough, there was money to make the ghost grind, and the carpenter patted his chest and promised that it would be done tomorrow morning.

But no matter how much money is added to the screen, it can't be done overnight.

Lin Mo then divided the preface into six, and he Zhou Fu, Wu Shun, Zhao En, his wife and Zhu Wen respectively found different craftsmen to build six screens overnight.

In the end, the amount of work was reduced at once, and with the money in place, it was all completed overnight.

Early the next morning, Lin Mo put the screen together and placed it in the most conspicuous position in the restaurant, and hung the plaque.

When everything was ready, Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief this time, but Lin Mo still couldn't relax, after all, today was the time to test the effect of yesterday's banquet.

Lin Mo saw that it was still early, and when he saw that everyone was tired, he asked everyone to hurry to the back room to rest and rest.

Zhou Fu and Wu Shun took the initiative to take care of the store, Lin Mo asked the two to take turns to take care of it, and he dragged his load-bearing body to push open the back room and lie on the bed, and fell asleep deeply.

By the time Lin Mo woke up again, it was already noon, and after Lin Mo got up, he found that he was in who was on the bed of the shopkeeper Sun, with a silk pillow on his pillow, and he couldn't help but shiver, and quickly got up and left the room.

Lin Mo heard the crowd in the restaurant in the house, and when he came to the restaurant, he saw that all the tables were full, and Zhao En and they were very busy.

Zhao En saw Lin Mo wake up, so he stepped forward and said:

"Xiao Mo doesn't know why, suddenly a few waves of people came, and all the restaurants were full at once, if it weren't for the sufficient preparation of ingredients, I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough."

Then hurriedly went to the kitchen to serve the dishes, and Sister-in-law Zhao collected the accounts on the counter.

Lin Mo looked at the people in the room and felt like a mirror in his heart, most of these people were probably the families of those gentry and wealthy businessmen who came yesterday.

This time I came here mainly to praise the county order and the county lord's field, after all, the plaque of his restaurant was jointly written by the county magistrate, the county lord and Ma Gongzi.

These people can cause a huge commotion when they are brought out individually, not to mention three people.

What's more, there is their own preface here, if you don't give these three face, you have to give your own face.

As long as you can get a good start on the first day, you can promote it with different tricks later, so you don't have to worry about no fame and no customers.

Lin Mo couldn't care so much now, so he hurriedly took a hand and got busy together.

The long day finally passed, and when Lin Mo saw off the last customer, he closed the door and collapsed on the bench.

The rest of the people were also tired enough, especially Zhu Wen, who didn't stop to rest all day today.

Lin Mo asked Zhao Enzhang to find a few guys and cooks, otherwise he would be too busy.

Zhu Wen thought for a while and said:

"I can recruit the chef of the owner myself, I don't worry about ordinary people, I have two distant nephews, and now I am helping in the restaurant in Yunzhou, I called them over to help me, so that the acquaintances will know the roots, and the cooking of the dishes handed over by the owner will not leak out."

Lin Mo nodded after listening, he knew what Zhu Wen meant, on the one hand, it was to avoid the leakage of the practice and make acquaintances more reliable, and on the other hand, he wanted to treat the practice as a kind of family inheritance, so that it would be passed down from generation to generation, at least to ensure that the people in his family had something to eat.

Of course, if you think more, it is to let yourself firmly control the kitchen of the restaurant to avoid being kicked away by Lin Mo in the future, but this kind of thinking Lin Mo feels that Zhu Wen should not have it, and he will not kick him away with one kick.

Lin Mo didn't care what Zhu Wen thought, as long as he didn't deviate from himself when he did things, he didn't care.

Lin Mo asked a few people to hurry back to rest, and he also went home with Zhao En and his wife.

After returning home, Zhao Heng had already fallen asleep, and he had been busy with the affairs of the restaurant for the past few days, ignoring Zhao Heng, and even today's meal was sent by Zhao Entuo, but Zhao Heng was very sensible and never showed his emotions.

Lin Mo thought about it, and after two days, when the restaurant was stable, he would arrange for Zhao En's enrollment.
