Chapter 3: Have Faith
The kitchen was deserted, Qin Shou looked at Qin Shaoyou with blank eyes, and said pitifully: "The owner, the owner...... I was wrong, you forgive me, okay. ”
"Not good!" Qin Shaoyou said very simply: "How did you beat me in the past?" ”
"It was ignorance when I was a child."
Qin Shaoyou sneered: "If you don't know something, you still beat me, and if you are sensible, you won't beat me to death?" Let's go, I don't want you anymore. ”
Qin Shou burst into tears, eager to hug Qin Shaoyou's thigh, and howled: "No, I want to be a cow and a horse, born to be a person in a restaurant, and a ghost in a restaurant to die, cousin, I ate lard and blinded my heart......"
Qin Shaoyou was happy in his heart, this guy has a bit of his own style, and he is very cheeky, but his peers are enemies, you are so thick-skinned, don't you steal the limelight from me?
However, Qin Shaoyou didn't really want to drive Qin Shou away, because he had no money, and if he didn't have money, he couldn't recruit guys, and without helpers and guys, this restaurant couldn't be taken care of.
So he said slowly: "Forget it, after all, it's my own brother, fighting tiger brothers, father and son soldiers, I'll teach you how to cook." ”
"Ah......" Qin Shou was stunned, and said in a trembling voice: "You...... You taught me how to cook. ”
Qin Shou was very excited, if he learned half of his cousin's craft, wherever he went, he would also be a chef.
Qin Shaoyou nodded and said: "Yes, we are brothers, cousin, I have always attached great importance to this family affection, I am in this world, there are not many relatives left, if I really drive you away, I will be alone, I will be lonely, I will be lonely, just like people in a foreign land, look up at the bright moon, bow my head and think of my hometown, I will think of you as soon as I bow my head, and then my heart is sour, and my liver and intestines are broken." ”
A warm warmth suddenly permeated Qin Shou's whole body, Qin Shou's tiger body was shocked, and his eyes desperately flashed with tears: "Cousin......"
Qin Shaoyou looked at him affectionately: "Cousin." ”
"Good brother!" Qin Shou put his hand on Qin Shaoyou's shoulder.
Qin Shaoyou's body shook slightly, showing that Qin Shou's palm power was not small: "Good brother!" ”
There seemed to be sparks colliding between the intertwined eyes, and even the candle flame in the kitchen exuded a warmth. At this moment, the power of family affection is like a raging fire, invincible.
Qin Shou's tears finally flowed out without a fight, these were tears of remorse.
"Cousin, are you tired, let's go and sit in the hall."
Back in the hall, Qin Shaoyou sat down, he was young after all, with a bookish atmosphere, this sitting, where does it look like an owner, although he is dressed plainly, he is very much like a noble son who is like jade.
Qin Shou quickly went to pour tea and said, "Cousin, you eat." ”
Qin Shaoyou took it, took a sip, there was ginger in the tea, he suddenly woke up to the fact that he was now in the same era as Wu Meiniang, and the tea in this era was boiled, not only salt, but also onions, ginger, dates, orange peel, dogwood, mint and other things.
"Ahem......" Qin Shaoyou almost choked, and when he saw that Qin Shou was coming to pat himself on the back, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "Don't be busy, let's talk about selling ourselves into slavery." ”
Qin Shou couldn't help but say: "Selling yourself into slavery, who sold to whom?" ”
"Naturally, you sold it to me."
"Ah...... Cousin...... You...... You're ......."
Qin Shaoyou looked at him with pity: "Look, as I just said, I am a person who attaches great importance to family affection, as soon as I think that you may leave, I will break my liver and intestines, cousin, I am reluctant to you, in the future I will teach you to cook, if you run away, I will have sleepless nights, I don't think about tea and dinner, but it is different if you sell yourself to me, so that I sleep soundly, I am not afraid that you will run away, even if you run away, I will sue the government, um...... Let me think about it, I seem to have seen Tang Law, and the government's punishment for fugitive slaves is very severe. But you can also rest assured, we are relatives after all, you temporarily sell yourself to me, I teach you the craft, in the future will naturally treat you well, let you follow me to eat and drink spicy, if not, then you have to send you away, you can only farm after you go back, and there is no land, so you have to rent other people's fields, all year round, hard work, may not be able to mix half full. ”
Just kidding, what kind of person is Qin Shaoyou, this cousin is lazy and lazy, with a slippery tongue and a smooth mouth, he taught him the craft, if he runs away, who will he cry to?
"I ...... I ...... "Qin Shou is about to cry."
……………………………………………………
After signing a deed of sale, Qin Shou looked depressed, obviously he never imagined that he would be pitted by this harmless nerd cousin. However, adhering to the principle of fairness and voluntariness, when he signed this deed of sale, from then on, he no longer had the right to resist Qin Shaoyou.
Qin Shaoyou accepted the deed of sale, he was in a good mood, and when he saw Qin Shou again, he looked like a mourner, and thought to himself that he should cheer him up at this time, cheer up and work hard.
So Qin Shaoyou said brightly: "I have suddenly opened my mind now, this is the blessing of the ancestors, so we must glorify the lintel." ”
"Oh...... Glorious lintel. ”
"We want to revive the family business and eat and drink spicy."
"Eat fragrant and drink spicy...... Well...... Well...... Good. ”
"Wait, prepare a few boxes, wait for the money, we're going to make a lot of money."
"Cousin...... I have a sentence, holding back the discomfort, the wages you owed me before, will you make up for it for me after you make money, I have to buy a shirt...... And ......"
"Uh......" Qin Shaoyou was slightly stunned, then looked at him meaningfully and said, "Cousin, you must have faith!" ”
………………………
Datang ...... Ah no, now it should be called Da Zhou, the folk customs here, although Qin Shaoyou has only been here for two days, he has already seen it.
Li Erniang, who fell into a well, stuffed herself with an ugly daughter-in-law, and a cousin who beat himself since he was a child, Qin Shaoyou has a very bad impression of Zhou people. The folk customs are simple, that's.
Therefore, the more bad people are in the world, Qin Shaoyou must be worse than them, this is called fighting poison with poison, and as for the point of being thick-faced and black-hearted, Qin Shaoyou still has a lot of experience.
Now, what he wants to do is not so much to revive the lintel and glorify his ancestors, but to keep his only property, and then not to displace himself, and the business of the restaurant must continue.
If anyone dares to stop himself from getting rich, Qin Shaoyou doesn't mind making him into minced meat and eggplant at all.
At present, the first problem is not to open the door to do business, but to replenish the stock, yes, there are not many ingredients in the building, chicken, duck and fish, and all kinds of fresh food have been sold out, there is oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and there is a jar of pickled cabbage in the backyard, but unfortunately this is Luoyang, not Gaoli, everyone does not have a hobby of eating pickled cabbage, so he must have to buy some ingredients.
But trouble came, Qin Shaoyou had no money, not only was he penniless, but he also had a lot of foreign debts.
But this is not difficult for Qin Shaoyou, because he plans to continue to pay on credit, on credit, what's so difficult about this, as long as the skin is thick enough, and according to memory, the restaurant has already owed a lot of ingredients on credit, so there is no need to worry about debts, not to mention, isn't it the uncle who owes money?
This kind of thing was originally done by Qin Shou, in the past, Qin Shaoyou only knew how to read every day, or looked at the stars under the starry night sky in style, occasionally poems (beasts) flourished, chanted a few limerick poems, or in winter, watched the snowflakes fall, stared at the plum in the backyard, and burst into tears; So as soon as the spring thunder sounded, this guy went out of the city with a scarf and a fan.
And now, Qin Shaoyou tragically discovered that the original guy squandered everything, and all the burdens were on himself, if he didn't do it himself, there would still be stars and plums, but there was still a northwest wind.
Early in the morning, after Qin Shaoyou washed and cleaned, he changed into decent clothes, he was born handsome, and he was carefully dressed up, and he was a little dignified, so he was in a good mood and asked Qin Shou to clean in the building, especially the stove and pots and pans, to wipe them three times, and then followed his memory and went to Dongshi.
The East Market is not far from the restaurant, and along the way, Qin Shaoyou observed carefully, and found that the restaurant was located between the East Market and the West Market, and it relied on the 'red light'...... Ah, the word red light seems to be a little indecent, it should be called not far from the place where the flowers and wine are green, the location is really good, and there are a lot of people nearby.
Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but sigh that the ancestors had a hard time starting a business, and finally laid such a good foundation, but this nerd actually did his business to this point, which can be regarded as a wonder in the catering industry.
When he arrived in Dongshi, he directly found Butcher Liu.
Liu Butcher is one of the main suppliers of the restaurant, in the past, most of the chicken, duck and fish meat in the restaurant were stocked in his place, but recently the business has taken a sharp turn, and now he owes Liu Butcher seventeen taels of silver, in Qin Shou's words, every time he goes to the credit, this Liu butcher is holding a pig-killing knife, the green tendons on his hands burst out, his eyes are as big as copper bells, and he can't wait to cut Qin Shou with a thousand knives.
So when he saw the short and fat Liu butcher, Qin Shaoyou still couldn't help but shudder, he was a very confident person, but God didn't give him steel and iron bones, if he was really chopped up here, ** is a small matter, and a big shame is a big one.
Liu Butcher had already seen Qin Shaoyou who was hesitating, the horizontal flesh on his face twitched, he actually smiled, put down the butcher knife in his hand, picked up the oily cloth to wipe the sweat on his face, and beckoned to Qin Shaoyou: "Brother Qin is really a nobleman, I haven't seen you for many days." ”
Forehead...... So enthusiastic?
Qin Shaoyou subconsciously felt that there was a conspiracy.
But he is still bold, even a butcher is afraid, how can he gain a foothold in the thick black circle in the future? So he stepped forward, just as he was about to make a salute and explain his intentions. Liu Butcher patted him on the shoulder and said, "How is Brother Qin's book read?" Ah, the first time I saw you, I knew that you were a nobleman, and sooner or later you would have to enter the Lingyan Pavilion in the future. ”
"Hah...... This ......" Qin Shaoyou stared at the pig-killing knife put aside, wary of whether Liu Butcher would break out, and said perfunctorily: "Let Brother Liu laugh." ”
Liu Butcher didn't mean to take a knife, but he was even more intimate, as if Qin Shaoyou was his long-lost brother, of course, looking at his appearance, even if he was a brother, he should be a half-brother.
"Who dares to laugh at Brother Qin, just can't get along with me, when your father is here, we are old acquaintances, this is a friendship that cannot be changed. What, you're here to get meat on credit? It's easy to say, it's easy to say, what do you want, just say it, and then ask the guy to send it to the restaurant. ”
Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and suddenly felt that Liu Butcher's cold face was a little similar to Takeshi Kaneshiro, and suddenly became cute: "This...... usually relies on Brother Liu's help, but I really don't want to go. ”
Liu Butcher said angrily: "What kind of words is this, the family doesn't say two words, come, come, come, just say whatever you want." I'll just write an IOU later. ”
