After Wu Shun and Zhou Fu left, Lin Mo sat at the table with Zhu Wen, and Zhu Wen took out a pot of wine and drank it together.

Lin Mo opened his mouth and said: "I don't know if this restaurant will be prosperous or obscure, although I don't know if I can make money in the future, but I won't treat anyone who has helped me, thank you for helping me, Lin Mo will not treat your eldest brother badly, and the monthly salary in the future will definitely not be less than in Mafu, this is my promise to you." ”

Zhu Wen was a little moved: "Xie Dongjia's trust in me, Zhu will repay me." ”

After that, he got up and bowed to Lin Mo, and Lin Mo quickly helped Zhu Wen up, and the two filled the wine at the table, talking and laughing freely.

When the two of them were drunk, Lin Mo asked drunkly

"I never believe that you, as a chef with more than ten years of experience, would make such a low-level mistake."

Zhu Wen was also drunk and almost unconscious, and muttered in his mouth and just replied

"If you say it's wrong, it's wrong, and I advise you to stay away from the Ma family in the future."

"What did you say?" Lin Mo asked loudly,

"Stay away from Ma's house!"

Zhu Wen replied loudly.

The two drank too much and didn't hear each other say anything, so they fell asleep on the table.

The next day, Lin Mo woke up leisurely and found that it was almost noon, Lin Mo stomped on his numb feet, and staggered to his feet, but Lin Mo was still dizzy when he left first, and he almost didn't stand firmly.

At this time, Zhu Wen came over with a bowl of porridge, and when he saw that Lin Mo had woken up, he hurriedly put the porridge on the table and stepped forward to help Lin Mo

"The owner hurriedly drank the porridge to warm the stomach, and put some nourishing herbs in it, which can relieve the feeling of dizziness now."

Lin Mo took a few sips of porridge and drank it all, and said with a wry smile in his mouth

"You still can't drink too much wine in the future, even if you drink too much of this thing, even the gods will be uncomfortable."

Last night, the owner drank quite violently, and I was surprised by what he did. ”

Lin Mo was a little embarrassed. Calculate the time, Wu Shun should have already gone to pick up Zhao En's family, and he should be able to get here at noon.

Zhou Fu came down from upstairs at this time, and it seemed that he was just cleaning, and Zhu Wen also joined in the cleaning and tidied up the inside of the house.

Zhou Fu looked at the room of the shopkeeper in front of the backyard with some doubts and asked

"The owner, do you want to clean this room, after all, the restaurant is going to open, remove the old and welcome the new, and clean it all to wash away the bad luck."

Lin Mo thought about it for a while, and it seemed to be the same, so he opened the door and prepared to clean it.

After opening the door, a musty smell hit his face, and Lin Mo couldn't help but sneeze a few times in a row.

A few people walked around the house, and the furnishings inside were the same as what Lin Mo had seen before, except for a few more marks of rat bites on the fabrics, nothing else had changed. Zhou Fu opened the window to ventilate, and then took a rag to clean the tables and chairs in the house.

After everything was cleaned, Lin Mo closed the door again and turned around and went to the front room. Zhou Fu also came over at this time, and several people sat in the house, waiting for Zhao En and them to arrive.

During the chat, Lin Mo inadvertently asked about the situation of the former shopkeeper, and Zhou Fu sighed and said

The former shopkeeper is also a poor man, and the shopkeeper Sun is a native of Qingshan Town, outside the city, whose parents died when he was a child, and he barely survived by relying on the help of the villagers. Later, in order to make a living, he went to Mafu to be a subordinate, but he was lucky to be favored by Young Master Ma and became Young Master Ma's follower, and traveled south and north with Young Master Ma, until he was later recommended by Young Master Ma to come to the silk village as the shopkeeper. ”

He continued after a pause

"He was kind and kind to us, and he never scolded us fellows. I heard that he was already going to get married, and the bride was a peasant girl in Qingshan Town, and she lived with the shopkeeper Sun when she was a child. Later, after the accident of the shopkeeper Sun, the Ma family said that he was greedy for ink and was found to have committed suicide by taking poison, and the lady did not believe that she washed her face with tears every day, and went to the yamen and Mafu many times to discuss the law for the shopkeeper Sun. Ma Fu also sympathized with her and gave her a large sum of money, enough for her to live without food and clothing for a lifetime, but she refused to accept it, and she has been avenging the grievances of the shopkeeper Sun, and she is also a chaste martyr. ”

Lin Mo couldn't help but be moved by this woman's behavior when he heard it, such behavior was really admirable.

When it was almost noon, I heard a "hoo" outside the door, and a carriage stopped at the door.

A few people got out of the car, it was Wu Shun and Zhao En's family of three. Lin Mo greeted him and led a few people into the house.

Then he introduced to Zhao En: "Wu Shun, you should be familiar with it, this is Zhou Fu, and both of them are the guys I was looking for." ”

Then he pointed at Zhu Wen

"This is the chef I hired, Zhu Wen, who used to be the chef of Yunzhou Restaurant, and was recruited by me to be a cook by chance."

Then he said, "This is the shopkeeper I found for you, surnamed Zhao, and you can ask him about the restaurant in the future." ”

Several people bent down to Zhao En, and Zhao En also hurriedly returned the salute to a few people, and said: "In the future, please work together with me to make the restaurant more and more prosperous." ”

Everyone sat around the table, and Lin Mo roughly talked about the arrangement, the time has been set, and it will open in two days.

This is still Lin Mo spent two copper plates to find a street fortune teller to calculate.

Lin Mo didn't have so many requirements for the specific time of opening, and this was just to cater to the customs of the following life. small table

People had a meal at the restaurant at noon, and this time it was an opening banquet.

Zhu Wen and Zhao En cooked together, took out their respective housekeeping skills, and set up a large table of wine and food. Then beckoned everyone to hurry up and eat.

After eating, Lin Mo first took Zhao En's family to a rented place and settled them down.

Lin Mo briefly asked about the situation in the town, and Zhao En said that Liu Butcher was now at ease alone, and Lin Mo was relieved when he heard it. This is followed by the final preparations before the opening.

The next day, a group of people gathered in the restaurant, Lin Mo first asked Zhu Wen to write down the dishes he knew how to cook on paper, and then set a price for each dish and copied another copy.

Lin Mo asked Zhou Fu to take a copy to the carpenter, carve it on small wooden signs, and then hang it on the wall of the store to make it easier for customers to check and order.

Then let Wu Shun take another copy to the bookstore, and let him print dozens of copies, which was used as a menu for guests to order.

Just as several people were busy preparing for the opening, a familiar figure appeared at the door.

"Zhao Zhutou?"

Lin Mo looked at the visitor in surprise, and then said with a smile:

"Zhao Zhutou, you are a rare guest, hurry up and come in and sit down."

Zhao Zhutou nodded with a smile

"Lin Mo thanked you for helping me solve the case last time, otherwise Liu Kui's case would have become an unjust case, and I really don't know how to face his wife and daughter in the future, and I won't have the face to see him after death."

Saying that, it was like Lin Mo bending down and bowing.

Lin Mo hurriedly said, "You are torturing me, I am clothed, how dare I accept your salute, besides, I am also here to help Liu Kui and his daughter, not specifically to help you, I also have to thank Zhao Zhutou for believing in me and saving my life in the court." ”

"Haha, don't talk about that incident in court, if you really have three longs and two shorts, the face of the Yanan County Ya will be lost."

Saying that, Zhao Zhutou's old face turned red, even though it was so, Lin Mo was still injured.

Zhao Zhutou continued: "I originally planned to go to see you after you were injured, but you were picked up by Ma Fu, and I can't go to see you." The county magistrate is busy with the recent big exam, so he has never had a chance to thank you, yesterday the street patrol officer happened to see you, so he hurried to report to me and the county magistrate, the lord was very happy to order me to come to see you, and planned to set up a banquet in Yuelai to show gratitude. ”

Lin Mo quickly shook his head when he heard this

"I'm just an ordinary person, how dare I let the county magistrate specially buy a banquet for me to thank me, this really makes me ...... Wait, you said that the magistrate wants to help me buy a banquet in the restaurant. ”

Lin Mo asked with some excitement, and Zhao Zhutou was taken aback by Lin Mo's startled change, nodded and said

"Yes, I specially asked me to come and ask you, if you are okay tomorrow, the magistrate will let me set up a banquet in Yuelaiju and invite you to come tomorrow to participate, and the magistrate will be present in person at that time." forest

Mo rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Why should the county magistrate go to Yuelaiju, just come here, this happens to be a restaurant." ”

At this time, Zhao Zhutou realized that Lin Mo was indeed a restaurant, but now it was empty and there was no one.

Zhao Zhutou was a little puzzled: "Lin Mo, are you planning to open a restaurant?" Yours is the real thing. Then I have to congratulate you first, but unfortunately I didn't prepare a congratulatory gift. ”

"Where I opened it, it was opened by my friend, I came to help, it is the Zhao shopkeeper in General Town, by the way, instead of going to Yuelaiju, it is better to invite you and the county order to have a simple meal here, that is, it is not so troublesome and can avoid the county order adult."

Zhao Zhutou frowned and said, "But the adults may not be able to come, I have to report to the adults and see how the adults decide." ”

Lin Mo's eyes rolled and he said earnestly

"Zhao Zhutou I am all for the adult, you listen to me, come here to avoid suspicion, the adult is a good official who is honest and honest with clean sleeves, and the court does not give much money, how much does Yuelaiju get for a table of dishes, if the adult really invites, there will definitely be people behind the back to talk about the adult's corruption and bribery to have money to Yuelaiju; The second is to promote the prestige of the adult, the adult's case, the adult's clear judgment, wash away the people's grievances, as the people of Chennan, the people under the rule of the adult, and also the relatives and friends of Liu Kui who was wronged in the case, I should invite the adult to have a light meal, so as to show that the adult loves the people like a son, and the second is to show that the people love the lord of Zhixian County. Therefore, it is reasonable to invite adults to come to our store for a light meal. Besides"

Lin Mo attached himself to Zhao Zhutou and whispered

"It's the time of the big exam, and doing so will be of great benefit to the county commander, Zhao Zhutou, you have to explain it to the adult."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhutou was deeply moved, said goodbye to Lin Mo, and quickly returned to the Yamen Yuming County Order.

Lin Mo looked at Zhao Zhutou's distant back, and smiled, the set has been set up, it depends on whether Zhixian will drill into it, and whether it can get a good start depends on this time.
