Chapter 136: Returning Home
The scale of Yipinxiang is actually larger than when it was first built, including the expansion of the restaurant, and some manpower has also been recruited. The pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info include some women in the Lin pirate group who don't want to be knives and lick blood for a living, and some are specially sent to serve as bodyguards or microphones. In addition, there are a few who are very good at cooking, and some have been arranged to learn art, and they have recently become the pillars of this place.
Some women in Guangzhou who can't eat, as long as they are not too old and not too ugly, have also been recruited to work in restaurants. Although there are several signature dishes in other restaurants, most of the chefs who steal the chefs will be attacked, and with the golden plaque of Ling Yunyi, it is not easy to shake its status.
It was expected, but such a lively scene still surprised Lin Haishan. The people in line to buy snacks lined up all the way to the entrance of the store opposite. Looking at the clothes of the people in line, most of them are buddies or family members.
Fan Zhigao was afraid that the bodyguard who had a "brother Qi" relationship with Uncle Jiu would look down on Fan Jin, so he hurriedly explained: "These people are all apprentices or servants, and they were sent to line up by the head of the family or the shopkeeper. Our lotus paste cakes are very expensive, and they simply can't afford to eat them. ”
Lin Haishan looked around, and saw more than 20 strong men, carrying sticks to patrol the sentry in their hands, Fan Jin said: "This is the eighteenth shop's own guard." is very powerful, the most powerful thing is that they dare to beat people, and they directly obey the orders of the three members, and the others don't buy their accounts, and they won't give face. So you see the queue is long, but no one dares to add plugs casually, let alone make trouble. Huh? And women in line? ”
In the team, there were several women dressed as maids, who were also anxiously looking into Yipinxiang. Fan Zhigao said: "Yes, the third sister's moon cakes were just given away at the earliest, and then they were sold casually, and those outsiders heard that they also bought and bought casually and didn't take it seriously." But as soon as I took it home and ate it, I liked it so much that I sent someone to buy it. Uncle Nine knows, here in the eighteenth shop, eating and drinking are all outside the three members, what they eat, the people below will eat. They take the lead in buying, and the people below naturally follow, and more and more people are buying. Later, I heard that this lotus paste filling was invented by Uncle Jiu, and the eldest ladies were clamoring to eat it, so they sent their girls to line up. ”
While speaking, the three of them were already very close to Yipinxiang, and someone in the crowd pointed to this side, and then a bold maid shouted Fan Gongzi and waved to Fan Jin to say hello. Others left the team, turned around and ran away, most likely to report the news. Among the men who served as guards, one of them came to Fan Jin and saluted: "The villain has seen Fan Gongzi!" My lord specially instructed that as soon as Fan Gongzi came back, he asked the villain to report and discuss important matters......"
"I'm afraid I don't have time now, today, July 29, it's time to come to an end. Please tell Master Pan, and when the township test is over, I will invite him again. ”
In Yipinxiang, Sister Hu's headdress has been removed, and the good-looking jacket and skirt on her body have also been taken off, like other women, she has covered a pair of pants under half an arm, the trouser legs are rolled up to the knees, her hands are full of flour, and she is busy sweating like rain. The other women are in a similar situation to her, and since they are all women, there is no need to shy away from them.
The women who sell dim sum outside are neatly dressed, and the people who make cakes in the back kitchen, including Liang Pandi and a few blind girls, except for a few important parts, most of the other places are exposed outside to look cool. Liang Pandi rolled up his sleeves to his upper arm, and said without raising his head:
"Don't rush, you can't rush it sooner. To make it clear to the outside, lotus paste cakes only sell 800 a day, and there are so many Tianwang Lao Tzu. Even if I give ten taels of silver, I can't do more, there are too few people and I can't do anything. Sister, how are you? Do you want to take a break? ”
"I ...... It's okay for me, as long as I get into my brother's business, and if I'm tired, it's okay. ”
"My business...... It's nothing, as long as you two are okay, it doesn't matter if my business is good or bad. Spread my word, from today onwards, only 300 lotus paste cakes will be sold every day, and they will not wait for the expiration date. It's so hot, you can't get tired. As for today, I have already agreed with the outside world to call it a day now. Everyone rests. ”
A familiar voice sounded, Liang Pandi and Sister Hu raised their heads almost at the same time, and then saw the familiar figure standing at the door, looking at them with a folding fan in his hand.
"Enter the brother!" "Into the boy!"
The two women made sounds almost simultaneously, but reacted very differently. Liang Pandi almost crashed into Fan Jin's arms, hooked his neck with both hands and kissed himself fiercely for a while. Sister Hu had just run two steps, and suddenly screamed, blocking her face with her hands, "Ugly to ugly, ugly to death, nothing to dress up...... Go out first, brother, I'll pack up and you'll come back. ”
"Pack up, you look good like this, it's cool." Fan Jin smiled, stepped forward and hugged Sister Hu into his arms, looked her up and down a few times, nodded and said: "It seems to be fatter than when I left, and my hair has turned black, which is very good, you just have to eat more and take care of your body to be good." If you open a restaurant, you will have to endure hardships, and this shop will not be done. ”
"No...... The business of the store is so good now, how can it be closed. In fact, no matter how hard it is, it is much better than farming in the countryside, and we countrymen are never afraid of hardship. Go outside first, brother, and I'll change my clothes and then look for you. I...... I'm covered in flour right now, and it's going to stain your clothes...... Woo."
In the past six months, all kinds of lovesickness and hard work, with this burst of intimacy, it has dissipated without a trace. Although those blind girls can't see, under the guidance of Liang Pandi, they can still do some simple auxiliary work. Due to the shortage of manpower, they were also brought in to work, the kitchen was hot, and most of the women's bodies were exposed outside, and when they heard the owner come back, they did not avoid or be shy, but stood up happily and groped forward.
"The owner...... The owner is back? Owner, we have worked very hard to practice, and the guests all say that we sing well. ”
Fan Jin stopped the cake business, and people took a holiday. dragged Liang, Hu and Lin Haishan into the private seat and sat down, and cooked and fried the dishes himself, which can be regarded as a reward for the two women's hard work in running the restaurant. Liang Pandi took out the account book and reported to Fan Jin the operation of the restaurant in the past six months, the surplus of income and expenditure, and the good or bad things that had happened.
In fact, with the frequency of her going to Luoshan, these things have been reported before, and now she is saying this is nothing more than saying in front of Lin Haishan that her relationship with Fan Jin is different, and this restaurant is a proof.
Fan Jin hugged the eldest sister and explained the things on the front line to them. He hadn't actually been to the former enemy in the past half a year, so naturally there would be no risk, but when he heard him tell the story of the front line and the destruction of Luo Shanman, he still let Sister Hu hold on to Fan Jin's arm, for fear that as soon as he let go, he would fly away again.
"Brother Jin...... You can't go to war anymore. If you go again, I'll tell my aunt and let her punish you." Daddy said that there are countless dead people on the battlefield, and there are no eyes for knives and guns, what if you are injured? You are a scholar, how can you fight, you should be a good student to study and test your fame. These days, there are a lot of scholars in our restaurant to hold literary meetings, they all take fans and don't hold knives, you should be like them. ”
Liang Pandi also said:
"The eldest sister is right, it's time for you to study hard. I heard that there are a few powerful people in this department, Lin Mengchu, a talented man from Chaozhou, known as the first person in Guangdong. There is also a Huang Can in Shunde, who is called a poem in seven steps. He was sick and couldn't participate in the last government exam, but he took the first place in the big take, and he was also very powerful. Besides, other people are trying to figure it out. Recently, in the city of Guangzhou, there are not many cultural clubs, but there are many banquets. I heard that the people who eat wine are actually not big people, either the son of this teacher or the concierge of the county commander's family. Especially this scholar, who usually eats cold pork, but now it has become a hot item, and the banquet can't be finished. Everyone doesn't know who should take the same exam, and they are looking forward to opening up a joint and adding a little opportunity to themselves. If you don't come back, I don't dare to call the shots, you say we should give gifts or not, and see whose way to go. ”
Lin Haishan said: "This guest is confused, I heard Fan Jin say that this volume is read by everyone in turn, and no one knows whose hand their volume falls into." If you have a treat, but the paper is not there, isn't it in vain? Or is it that everyone has to be invited? ”
Fan Jin smiled: "Even if he wants to, he can't do it, he doesn't have so much time." He was just gambling, betting that his paper could fall into the hands of this fellow examiner, and the other party would let him pass. After all, the number of people who lift people is so small, and there are many people who take the exam, even if there is a chance, you have to fight for it. This chance means that dozens or even hundreds of people will be brushed down. If you think about hundreds of people, will you fight if you change it? ”
Lin Haishan nodded, "So that's the case?" Scholar, do you want me to help you tie up the families of several instructors, if they refuse to let you win, hehe......"
"Hey, you're big. At this time, playing kidnapping, and still want me to win, it's not that I don't die fast enough. Big breasts, brainless you. Fan Jin said as he squeezed her chest without any scruples, and the latter immediately punched her. These two people have played a lot of similar scenes in the past few days, and it is no longer a matter of fact, but the other two women saw it in their eyes, and their hearts were sour.
Sister Hu said: "Brother Jin, then whose gift do we give?" I have the silver, the money you gave me, and the jewelry, so I can give it to several people. I heard Daddy say that those scholars are very poor, and they will be happy if they give a few taels of silver, and my money can be given to several scholars. When the time comes, let Daddy send them dozens of catties of pork to ensure that they are satisfied. ”
Fan Jin shook his head and said, "No one will send it!" Now in the city of Guangzhou, some people support me, some people hate me, and some people want to shoot my black bricks. If I give money at this time, it is equivalent to sending the handle into the hands of others, such a stupid thing, I can't do it. Tomorrow, let Guan Qing go to the next post, invite Sa Shizhong here, and I'll have a good chat with him. Just because I don't go to give gifts doesn't mean I can't do anything else, I have a better way than to grab meat tickets! ”
"Actually...... In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't have fame when you enter your brother, now that we have food and drink, we can live a good life without fame. Besides, several employees in Xiguan also want to cooperate with Brother Jin to do business. That Master Pan came a few times and wanted to cooperate with us on this lotus paste cake, but the third sister didn't agree. Say you have to nod your head to talk about cooperation. ”
Liang Pandi looked at Lin Haishan, and said to Fan Jin: "Actually, what the eldest sister said is right. When I knew you, you were also a poor boy, didn't I give you my heart? It doesn't matter if you have money or not, as long as you're happy. ”
Lin Haishan was puzzled: "Scholar, since you have these ways to get rich, why are you still poor in the first place?" ”
Fan Jin shook his head and said: "This method must be supported by someone to use it, and you can't make money just by having a way." There is no one behind you, how do you open this restaurant? Therefore, fame is like a protective armor, with armor on your body, you can charge into battle. This is different from your rules, you can't understand it. ”
"Trouble." Lin Haishan muttered, and naturally put her leg on Fan Jin's leg. Brother Liang frowned, and Sister Hu's eyes became even redder.
The reunion after a long absence, it should have been an atmosphere of honey blending oil, but because of Lin Haishan's appearance, it became weird. In the ensemble, which was no longer tacit, an unfamiliar instrument was added, so the whole symphony changed its key. Fan Jin gently pinched Lin Haishan's leg, "You, the master, don't go to see your subordinates?" Not okay? ”
"Huh? Don't you say I forgot, Aunt Nineteen, they haven't seen each other for a long time, I'll go see them, you eat slowly. Lin Haishan put down her legs, lifted her rice bowl and went downstairs as if she were smoking, and gave the meal to the three of them.
Sister Hu looked at Fan Jin and wanted to say something, but in the end she only said, "I'll take a bath." He also left with a blush on his face.
Only Fan Jin and Liang Pandi were left in the private room, and the atmosphere became even more embarrassing, Liang Pandi looked at Fan Jin, and suddenly sighed and said, "How about the big-footed girl, does it smell of stinky fish?" You too, it's not good to find anyone, you have to find such a big-footed woman, what does she have? Isn't it just two big papayas and a tattoo? I can have that tattoo too! ”
"It's not like that. It'......"
Liang Pandi couldn't explain, got up and came to the window, stretched out his hand and pushed the window open. It's already dark outside, and in Guangzhou, which is about to enter autumn, there is a bit of cool breeze blowing at night. Liang Pandi took a deep breath, his emotions seemed to calm down a little, and then he said leisurely:
"No need to explain, let alone explain to me, I'm a bed warmer, and I'm not qualified to ask my master about it. When the talented men entered the city, they all went to find women, and some to men...... This is a good story for you talents. I was just...... Just unwilling. Even if we know that there will be other women entering the door in the future, and even a big woman riding on our heads, we always think about the future, and it always doesn't matter for now. I'm not old now, I can still serve you for a few years, if you want a woman, I'll go to Luoshan twice more, it's okay to stay. Who knew you really got together with Bigfoot! ”
As soon as the waist tightened, the man's hand was already around. "I ...... I know that I can't live with you, and I can't live with my eldest sister, it's all my fault......"
"Actually...... You don't need to be like this, you see that you are lifting, and I am even less worthy of you, and so is the eldest sister. I have a bad temper, if you don't slap me or drive me away, I should burn high incense, and I shouldn't have anything to do with you. Although Liang Pandi felt uncomfortable in his heart, he still forced a smile on his face, "I'm not a generous woman, I don't like to share you with other women, even if it's the eldest sister, I don't like it." But I'm a realistic woman, I know what I can and can't want, and I won't force you to be separated from her. It's just that tonight, you're me and my eldest sister, and that bigfoot sister is not allowed to participate! ”
