Chapter 143: Reunion Dinner
Lin Mo beckoned everyone to eat quickly, everyone picked up chopsticks and tasted it, everyone who ate this dish for the first time was stunned by this taste, it was really delicious, Zhao Pu said: "Mother, why is this dish so delicious, Lin Mo, how did you come up with this dish?" Lin Mo smiled: "I said I dreamed it in a dream, do you believe it?" ”
Zhao Pu nodded seriously and said: "I believe that this dish should not be in the world, it should be given to you by the gods in the sky, let us make this dish for us ordinary people to taste." Lin Mo couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, and then said: "If it's delicious, you can eat more, you can't eat this dish at ordinary times." ”
Sister-in-law Zhao asked curiously, "The restaurant in Yunzhou sells this?" Lin Mo smiled: "Naturally, just this dish, I earned a few hundred taels of silver a day." Then he told him about the situation of the Yunzhou restaurant these days, and everyone was immediately taken aback when they heard it, but they didn't expect that Lin Mo's restaurant would become one of the best restaurants in Yunzhou City by virtue of the Taoist Buddha jumping over the wall, and they admired Lin Mo.
Lin Mo was lively and the Ma Mansion was much more deserted, at this time there was a table in the huge hall, the table was full of all kinds of delicacies, which made people salivate, and there were only Ma Zhiyuan and Ma Ruoya's father and daughter sitting next to this table, looking very lonely. Ma Ruoyan looked at this scene with some sadness, and said sadly: "It would be nice if the eldest brother was still there." ”
Although Ma Ruoya has been very strong since Ma Ruowen's disappearance and seems to have recovered from her grief quickly, she has always hidden her grief in her heart and has never dared to show it, otherwise her father and mother will be even more sad.
Ma Zhiyuan frowned when he heard this, and then sighed and said: "Xin'er is the New Year's Day this year, don't mention this matter again, remember not to mention this matter after your mother comes over, you know?" ”
Ma Ruoyan nodded, and after a while, Zhang Xian led Mrs. Ma in, at this time, Mrs. Ma had lost her former look, her face was sad, and she had lost a lot of weight. When she came in, Ma Ruoya hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Mother, you are finally here, my father and I are hungry." ”
Mrs. Ma reacted when she heard Ma Ruoya's voice, looked at Ma Ruoyan's pretty little face and showed a loving smile, and said, "You, if you're hungry, eat first, don't wait for your mother." Ma Ruoya shook her head and said: "No, today is a family banquet, how can you miss your mother, Dad, do you say yes." ”
Ma Zhiyuan smiled: "Yes, hurry up and sit down, there are a lot of delicious foods today, Xin'er can't wait." Mrs. Ma's body trembled when she heard Ma Zhiyuan's voice, her eyes glanced at Ma Zhiyuan in horror, and then quickly moved away. Zhang Xian said behind him: "Madame, sit down, the food is almost cold." ”
Zhang Xian's voice seemed to be able to control Mrs. Ma like a magic sound, and Mrs. Ma quickly sat down, while Zhang Xian stood respectfully not far behind Mrs. Ma. Ma Ruoyan smiled and said: "Steward Zhang, don't stand, hurry up and go down to eat, the people in the house are eating in the side room now, and it's too late to go." ”
Zhang Xian smiled: "Miss don't care about me, I'm waiting here, they have already left food over there, and there won't be no food." Ma Ruoyan still wanted to say something, and Ma knew it
Yuan interrupted: "If Aya doesn't have to pay attention to it, it will be more convenient for Steward Zhang to wait here." ”
Then Mrs. Tsushima said: "You love sweets, this is a dessert made by the chef who specially invited me from Yangzhou, you can try it." Saying that, she put a plate of desserts in front of Mrs. Ma, and Ma Ruoya on the side was very envious when she saw it, her father still cared for her mother over the years, which made her daughter envious. And Mrs. Ma looked at this dessert as if it was not a dessert but a poison, and her eyes showed a look of horror, and her spirit gradually collapsed.
At this time, Ma Ruoya said: "Dad, you should eat this dessert at the end." "Ma Zhiyuan laughed when he heard it: 'That's right, my father is confused, quickly bring up the Buddha jumping over the wall sent by Lin Mo, we have a good mouth, this Buddha jumping over the wall will be done by Lin Mo, Yunzhou is already a household name."
Zhang Xian hurriedly brought up the jar, and then opened the upside-down bowl on the altar, and a smell of vegetables instantly came to the nose, and several people were shocked. Ma Zhiyuan gave Ma Ruoya and Mrs. Ma a bowl each, Ma Ruoya was about to taste it, and Mrs. Ma called: "Ruo Aya, your father has to taste it first, after all, it is used to honor your father, how can we eat it first." ”
Ma Ruoya put down the bowl in her hand and said with a smile: "Yes, Dad, this is for you, you can taste it." Ma Zhiyuan looked at Mrs. Ma deeply, and then smiled: "Okay, Dad, come and try the "poison" for you, and see how Lin Mo's skills are. ”
Ma Zhiyuan deliberately accentuated the tone of the word "test poison", Ma Ruoya laughed when she heard the "poof", thinking that Ma Zhiyuan was joking, but Mrs. Ma glanced at Ma Zhiyuan in horror, her lips trembled a little, and her face was a little pale.
Ma Zhiyuan didn't care about the reaction of the two, took a bowl and ate it, and just took a bite Ma Zhiyuan was stunned and put down the dishes and chopsticks. Mrs. Ma looked at Ma Zhiyuan nervously, while Ma Ruoyan was a little strange and asked, "Dad?" What's wrong? Ma Zhiyuan said: "Lin Mo, this kid, if you have such a delicious dish, don't send it early, you must ask about it next time you see it." Then he finished the bowl with a whirlwind.
Ma Ruoya quickly tasted it when she saw it, and then her eyes lit up and said, "It's really delicious, mother, you can taste it too." Mrs. Ma saw that both of them tasted it, so she picked up the chopsticks and tasted it, but it was really delicious, but Mrs. Ma couldn't eat anything at this time. At the table, the father and daughter chatted while eating, and Ma Zhiyuan said: "Ruo Aya, you are ready to go to Yunzhou after the Yuan Festival." ”
Ma Ruoyan nodded when she heard this, her mood was a little complicated, she had been looking forward to it for a long time, but somehow she was a little resistant. Mrs. Ma asked suspiciously, "Ruo Aya, why did you go to Yunzhou after fifteen?" You can go tomorrow and the day after. Mrs. Ma thought that Ma Ruoyan was going to her uncle's house in Yunzhou. Ma Ruoya didn't know how to say,
Ma Zhiyuan said: "Xin'er is my Ma family, so naturally I want to be familiar with the Ma family's industry, I plan to hand over the industry in Yunzhou to her and let her take care of it, what does Madame think?" Ma Zhiyuan's words seem to be fine, but Mrs. Ma always feels that Ma Zhiyuan's approach has deep meaning, but I don't know what the intention is, but no matter what, Ma Ruoyan left here and left Ma Zhiyuan to go to Yunzhou, which is exactly what she is looking forward to, after all, she is always not at ease when she stays here
, it's safer to go to Yunzhou with the Luo family.
Ma Ruoya thought that Mrs. Ma would object, after all, it was very inconvenient for her to go out and show up as a girl in the boudoir, and it was not good for her reputation, but he didn't expect that Mrs. Ma did not object, but just wished her to pay more attention to safety, listen to her uncle's words more, and don't be reckless or something.
Ma Ruoya has some resistance and worries about her uncle's family, and doesn't want to go to his house to live, the Ma family has an industry and a house in Yunzhou, so it's good to go to that house by yourself, but Ma Zhiyuan and his wife directly objected, Ma Zhiyuan said: "It's too inconvenient for a girl to live in that house alone, what if something happens to you?" ”
Mrs. Ma also hurriedly agreed: "Yes, your uncle is in Yunzhou, it is much more convenient to live in your uncle's house, it is safer to have them to take care of it, and it is convenient to ask your uncle for advice at your uncle's house." The two surprisingly agreed on this matter.
Ma Ruoya reluctantly nodded and agreed, she didn't want to go to her uncle's house, on the one hand, she would be controlled by her uncle and aunt at her uncle's house, which was inconvenient, and the other was that the cousin was very annoying, and he used to speak disrespectfully to himself, very light, but he didn't dare to do anything with the eldest brother and uncle, but now that the eldest brother is gone, he has to endure the boring cousin in the past.
The three of them finished the family banquet with their own thoughts, and they didn't mention Ma Ruowen very tacitly, and the annual reunion family banquet ended hastily, and then Zhang Xian sent his wife away, and Ma Ruoyan also returned to the room. In the hall, only Ma Zhiyuan was left sitting alone at the table, looking at the dishes that had not moved much, and his eyes were full of loneliness.
After a while, Zhang Xian came back and said respectfully: "The master sent it back, there was no special reaction." Ma Zhiyuan nodded and then said, "Come, sit down and drink with me." Saying that, he took out the liquor sent by Lin Mo and filled it with Zhang Xian, Zhang Xian looked at Ma Zhiyuan and sighed, in the eyes of others, Ma Zhiyuan became famous, his wife was virtuous, his son was filial piety, and his well-behaved daughter had a complete life, but Zhang Xian knew that Ma Zhiyuan's inner loneliness was not something that ordinary people could bear, and the torment in his heart over the years had already exhausted his energy.
Ma Zhiyuan didn't speak, drinking the liquor one after another, not caring about the clothes that had been soaked with wine, Zhang Xian didn't say anything, and he accompanied Ma Zhiyuan to drink cup after cup, and the two of them were all silent.
Lin Mo's house in the city, at this time, everyone was sitting around, grandpa Lin Mo and Zhao Pu, and grandpa were already a little drunk, although they didn't drink much, they couldn't stand it, it didn't matter if they drank too much.
Lin Mo took advantage of everyone's presence and said his plan: "I've been thinking about it for a long time during this time, if you want to make more money, you have to open more shops, I will personally sit in Yunzhou, and the rest will depend on Brother Zhao and Uncle Liu, of course, you will help?" Sister-in-law Zhao asked suspiciously, "Xiao Mo, do you still want to open a shop?" Where to open? ”
"Yunzhou"
"Yunzhou? Haven't you already opened a shop? How many more are you going to open? Sister-in-law Zhao was even more puzzled. Lin Mo explained with a smile: "What I'm talking about is that Yunzhou is not Yunzhou City, there is not only one county in Yunzhou, but also eight counties under Yunzhou
It's a county. Only then did everyone realize what Lin Mo meant, "Xiao Mo, you mean to open shops in other counties." Sister-in-law Zhao said.
Lin Mo nodded and said: "Yes, I have learned about it these days, the business in the county is not as good as Yunzhou City, but it is not far off, I decided to open a Yonghe Kee in every shop to try the water first, and if the response is good, I will open a restaurant again, so that the more it opens, the more money it will make." If the business in the county is good, I will open some Yonghe Kee in some big towns, but no matter how small the fly is, it is meat. In short, my plan is to gradually spread to the periphery with Yunzhou City as the center, so that we can wait and count the money at that time. ”
Everyone was shocked by Lin Mo's thoughts when they heard this, Wu Wenyan looked at Lin Mo and said, "You are really a natural businessman, and studying and taking scientific exams is really hindering you from making money." After saying that, everyone laughed, these words seemed to be praising him and hurting him, Lin Mo was a little embarrassed when he heard it, so he had to laugh a few times.
