The Luo family officially gave Liu Tu's family a gift, with money and silk worth 18,000 yuan, and eight kinds of gold and silver jewelry worth 8,000, it can be said that the Luo family's grace is already the top in ordinary people in Changbai Township.

Liu Tu was not polite, he would receive as much as he sent.

This is also a characteristic of this era, and the matchmaker has already asked the woman about it, and then agreed on the quantity. And the woman received these gifts, and they did not put all of them into their own pockets, and they had to prepare a dowry for their daughter. A woman who does not have a dowry has no status in her husband's family after marrying.

And this dowry enters the door, but it is clear in the law that it belongs to the bride's private property, and neither the husband nor the husband's family has the right to dispose of it, and even in case the woman dies later, if there are no children, the dowry can even be returned to the mother's family, and the husband's family has no right to dispose of it.

It is said that women had a high status during the Sui and Tang dynasties, and one of the more critical reasons is this, women have dowries, money in their hands, and economies, so they naturally have status.

Liu Tu got a rich dowry, but he was not polite, first changed hands and took the money to book a door for one of his sons, and then went to Zhangqiu County to open a restaurant.

After all, there is a prospective son-in-law who is the head of the strong class in the county government, how could Liu Tu let go of such resources.

The new restaurant is opened in the west market of Zhangqiu City, where there is a row of noodle shops and restaurants, which is the catering center of Zhangqiu City.

Luo Cunxiao came forward, and the city order gave a lot of care, took down an old shop, cleaned it briefly, and then put some things together, and chose an auspicious day for the zodiac to open.

Liu's family came to the county to open a store, and there are still advantages, one is that there are people in the county, and the other is that Liu Tu is a butcher, killing pigs and sheep, and the materials are more convenient.

It is said that Liu Sanniang can not only dance two five-pound butcher knives, drag a pig with one hand, and even cook.

Luo Cunxiao even brought a few newly made iron pots from the Luo family's blacksmith shop to the Liu family's shop as if they were treasures, and also told Liu Sanniang some of Luo Cheng's usual recipes.

The new store opened, and Luo Cheng, a relative, naturally had to come to cheer.

So he brought a few brothers over for dinner.

The store is actually not big, and the layout is scattered in the hall on the first floor, and the private room on the second floor. The business is also more miscellaneous, and it also sells breakfast, lunch and meals, not only pasta snacks, but also cooked roast chicken and even wine.

In short, the Liu family's business fully embodies the business philosophy of small local businesses in this era, doing everything. It's a restaurant anyway, but as long as you want to eat, you can find a way to satisfy yourself.

However, the level Luo Cheng felt that it needed to be verified, at least the service level in this store could not be seen. I don't know where I invited a few women and men to run around the store to serve food, and when I asked, Luo Cunxiao said that it was Liu Sanniang's brother and sister-in-law, as well as younger brothers and sisters.

The Liu family is also prosperous, and the butcher's family may have more oil and water for snacks, so they are all five big and three thick.

Their family opened a store, and they didn't hire outsiders at all.

Even Liu Tu will come over to make a cameo appearance after selling meat.

Liu Sanniang is the chef and shopkeeper of the store.

There are some wooden signs hanging on the wall of the entrance hall, on which someone is asked to write some dish cards, those words Luo Cheng looked familiar, and after asking, he realized that they were all written by Luo Cunxiao and his father.

After scanning it, I found that they were all simple wine dishes and pasta, and there were no special features.

"A large plate of cold shredded pork ears, then a plate of cold-cut pork head, then a plate of fried pork liver, and then a stewed pig's trotters." As soon as the third child sat down, he ordered several meat dishes in one go, "The fourth child has a treat today, everyone is welcome." ”

The eldest brother-in-law, Zhou Dewei, ordered another grilled lamb chop.

The second brother-in-law, Wang Ziming, said to Luo Cheng with a smile, "I heard that the fourth brother also got some beef, and we can also stew beef to eat." ”

The fourth child reported the name of the dish to the future mother-in-law at the counter over there, and said with a bitter face, "You are too good at eating, this is all expensive, so you can't order a few vegetarian dishes." ”

"Who is still picky in the restaurant." The third brother-in-law, Zhao Gui, also said.

"Get a fish." Luo Cheng smiled.

"There are fish, what kind of fish do you want to eat, carp or crucian carp or what, boiled and stewed?"

The ancients also liked to eat sashimi, which was called yushi.

However, Luo Cheng is not at ease, what if he eats parasites in this freshwater fish? It is said that there was a general in the Han Dynasty who died of illness after eating fish.

"Cook a big carp, and kill it alive. Mix some fresh prawns, add some flour and coat them in oil. ”

"It's still the fifth child who will eat." Luo Sidao, "Little Liu, what are you eating?" ”

"Fifth brother, I want to steam cakes." Xiaoliu is real.

And the fourth brother-in-law, Zhou Xin, asked, "Are there any birds and beasts?" ”

"Nope." The fourth stingy way.

"Don't be stingy, get some venison, rabbits, pigeons, or whatever."

"Not really."

Luo Cheng directly took out a small piece of gold leaf from his money bag, "Don't worry, we won't eat it in vain, we are here to support the field, not to smash the field." ”

When the fourth child saw the gold, he immediately smiled and put away the gold leaves, "I remembered, some of them, all of them, the deer that the hunter just sent in the morning, the trap catch, and the one still alive." There are also a few pigeons, and the rabbits also have them. ”

Everyone at the table burst into laughter.

"This fourth child hasn't welcomed Liu Sanniang into the door yet, but he is already looking forward to the Liu family."

Everyone was laughing and laughing, and then three people walked in from the outside.

The first person was a young scholar, dressed in a white robe, followed by two people, one who looked like a long follower, and the other who looked like a coachman.

Come in and take a look.

The young man shouted, "Man, is there a box?" ”

"Yes, upstairs box, please."

As a result, the scholar said, "No need, I see that the downstairs is quite lively, so let's arrange a table for us upstairs." ”

Liu Sanniang's eldest brother led the three of them to an empty table next to Luo Cheng.

"What are you three eating? Our store has all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, flying in the sky and running in the water, and we also have stir-fried vegetables in the store, which is an exclusive must. ”

"And beef." Boss Liu saw that the three of them didn't look like people with bad money, so he added another sentence.

"Is it beef jerky from outside the country?" The scholar asked.

"How is it possible, what is there to eat in beef jerky, it is the same as firewood, I am talking about this freshly slaughtered beef."

"Fresh beef? Can you get fresh beef at the store? Is it private? Isn't it a crime? ”

"You'll have to ask how you got it, but make sure it's fresh!"

The young scholar smiled slightly, "Yes, then let's have some beef." ”

"We have boiled beef, stewed beef brisket with radish, stir-fried beef, boiled beef bone broth, boiled beef balls, fried steak······ Guaranteed delicious! ”

"Let's have a copy of that!" The scholar still had that slight smile.

When encountering such a bold customer, Boss Liu smiled all over his face and shouted loudly, "Come on, guest officer, please wait a minute, let's arrange it!" ”
