Chapter Twenty-Five: Stealing Half a Day's Leisure

The continuous accumulation of quantitative changes will eventually break out of the cocoon into a butterfly and achieve qualitative change, so don't give up lightly before turning into a butterfly.

Tex Hotel, in She Yi Dong Bicheng Yue Shan'er Yue Mochou ...... After several days of careful preparation, we finally ushered in a bumper harvest today......

After She Yi and Ruoruo first started to help, the shopkeeper Ma De hurriedly came...... Because it was an old buddy from before, Yue Shan'er, who knew her, as soon as she entered the door, she said a few words and dropped her luggage, and began to get busy.

The biggest difference between amateur and professional is that for the same thing, professional consumption is much better and more effective than amateur. This example can be seen in Madco. Yue Shan'er and She Yi were both too busy to do things, and Ma De could easily handle it alone.

In this way, Yue Shan'er and She Yi were idle. Yue Shan'er replaced Ruoruo, cashiered two at the counter, Ruoruo handed out coupons next to her, and She Yi went to the kitchen to help out occasionally.

Towards noon, the procession outside reached an unprecedented spectacular size, running from the entrance of Tex along Xintan Street to the main street of the North District...... The scene was spectacular. There is even an extremely rare phenomenon of hiring people to line up on behalf of others, which is comparable to buying train tickets for the Spring Festival in later generations.

The reputation of the Tex Hotel has spread quietly.

The first thing many people say after meeting is: "Have you ever eaten Tex on Xintan Street?" ”

……

Luoyang City southeast Yishui Garden high-end residential area, palace, back garden, quiet.

A man of about thirty years old, dressed in a brightly colored brocade robe, with a sallow face, stood under an old tree with a dull expression, and a gorgeously dressed woman beside him supported him.

In front of him, a wooden plank was placed. On the plank lay a corpse, covered with a white cloth.

"Black Butler ......"

The corners of the brocade man's mouth twitched, and his eyes slowly closed, he was Wang Dashun, the owner of Shunfeng Restaurant. The unforgettable scene of the night before, like a bloody wound, was forever engraved in his memory.

The soft moonlight, the cold river water, he and the black butler lurked in the water, clinging to the river, revealing half of their heads, holding their breath and breathing carefully.

When they saw the two catchers disappear at the end of the long street, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, the strength in their bodies had long been exhausted, the cold river water was cold to the bones, and their limbs were slightly numb.

Just as the black butler was holding him, and his hand was just reaching the edge of the shore, one foot fell heavily and stepped on one of his hands.

The strength (strength) on his feet was not great, but stepping on his fingers was like stepping on a burst, and the pain that pierced his heart made him almost faint.

He endured the pain and looked up. It was a young man's delicate and cold face, and this face was exactly the same as the face of the relative boy who took refuge in Yue Shan'er's house. The foot that stepped on his fingers was his.

He was sure that this young man had been specially trained to step on people, otherwise he would not have stepped on it so painfully with this little strength.

He was furious, utterly angry...... We're going crazy...... From his birth to the present thirty years, he has been high up and let others look up to him, but now, he has been trampled under his feet. His noble hand, his hand touching the soft body of a beautiful woman, was trampled on by a dirty shoe, and it was heavily trodden.

He wanted to roar, but he was afraid to be heard...... His eyes stared coldly at the boy who stepped on his hand. The young man looked quietly at the willow trees across the river as if he hadn't seen them. Seemingly, he didn't realize that he was stepping on something.

"Could it be that he has a hearing problem, or a vision problem, or a perception problem, and he doesn't notice what he's stepping on?"

Wang Dashun had a fluke mentality, did not struggle, gritted his teeth, endured the sharp pain in his fingers, and pressed his body tightly against the river.

In this way, after a long time of incense, the young man withdrew his gaze, turned around, and moved his steps, his heart relieved...... He finally held on, but the black butler holding him down seemed to be sinking.

At this moment, the boy suddenly turned around again and stepped on his other hand...... By the time he realized that the boy had done it on purpose, it was too late...... The boy spat in his face......

He let ......out an "ahh The whole person fell into the icy water......

He had never realized that death was so close to him...... He was dying in the water, but unfortunately his limbs had long since lost their strength, and the cold water was frantically poured into his mouth.

At that moment, he always thought he was dead...... He began to regret why he was here...... The black butler is right, there are many girls in the Rouge Pavilion, why does he want to find Yue Shan'er......

In the process of his remorse, confusion ...... The body gradually loses sensation...... When he woke up dizzy, it was already a day and a night, and he was greeted by his wife and mother.

His hoarse voice asked how the black butler was, and his wife shook her head. He struggled to get out of bed, and his wife helped him to the back garden.

Under the old tree in the back garden, there was a wooden plank, and on the wooden board, there was a corpse, and the corpse was covered with a white cloth. The corpse under the white cloth is the black butler......

"Madam, who sent me and the housekeeper back?"

Wang Dashun's pupils contracted slightly, and the green tendons on his forehead protruded. If people who are familiar with him will be nervous and scared when they see the green tendons on Wang Dashun's forehead.

Because at this moment, he is like a hungry wolf licking his wounds in the dark...... Cold and ruthless, even if the opponent is his relatives, he will not hesitate to wield a deadly black hand.

"It was a few officials who sent you and the butler back...... They said......"

The woman beside her wanted to speak, but stopped......

"What ...... They Say?"

Wang Dashun's fists clenched tightly, and his knuckles made a light cracking sound.

"They said, don't go to Xintan Street again, he is not something that our Wang family can provoke......"

The woman hesitated and spoke. Wang Dashun turned around sharply and slapped the woman in the face.

"Get out!"

……

The day ended in a hectic and hectic process...... The night is like ink, the moon is like water, and the inside of the Tex Hotel is filled with warm warmth.

Several people sat around the table (Ma De had rested in advance), calculating today's profits, looking at a large pile of silver taels on the table, the faces of Yue Shan'er, Dong Bicheng, Ruoruo, and Yue Mochou were full of a sense of achievement.

Today, the sales are 218 taels, excluding the cost, and the profit is more than 80 taels...... This staggering number deeply shook the fragile hearts of everyone except She Yi...... One is eighty taels, which is two thousand four hundred taels a month, and more than twenty thousand taels a year...... With such a huge profit, I am afraid that ordinary restaurants cannot compare......

What's more, the Yue Ji bamboo rice and Yue Ji burger carefully designed by She Yi have not yet been sold...... Once it's on sale...... That profit...... They can't imagine it......

She Yi smiled, although he was more satisfied with today's operating profits, but the follow-up was not as optimistic as Yue Shan'er imagined.

First of all, they can't just sell the tofu series, the eggplant series every day. Secondly, diners can't come to eat tofu and eggplant every day, and once the curiosity passes, the traffic will definitely drop. Finally, the most important one is, copycats.

The dishes they produce here will not be made by other restaurants at first, but after a long time, they will naturally be able to figure out the way out, and when the time comes, all restaurants and restaurants will have stir-fried dishes for sale...... The advantage of Tex is no longer an advantage......

Of course, with his ability, these problems can be avoided.

……

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed, the cold winter is coming, Luoyang City is no longer so lively and noisy, and as soon as the head falls, the streets will be deserted.

The cold wind blew, and the dry leaves flew all over the streets......

Inside the Tex Hotel on Xintan Street, there are occasionally a few diners coming in and out. The full queue when it first opened is no longer repeated. However, the first floor is still full.

In addition to the original few people, as well as the second little Ma De, there is an additional kitchen buddy Yuanfeng, and the dishes in the restaurant are not limited to eggplant and tofu series, but also a few other dishes. So far, the hotel has made a profit of more than 2,300 taels, She Yi's leg injury has completely recovered, and the pawned jade pendant has been retrieved as early as a month ago.

A few days ago, She Yi bought a lakeside house by the small lake in Xintan in the northwest corner of Luoyang City, which belonged to a friend of Dong Bicheng's father before his death, because he was going to Bianjing, so he had to sell this house, and She Yi bought it for three hundred taels of silver by the way.

The Tex Hotel is a little smaller, and there are many things that are inconvenient besides being noisy. Besides, Ruoruo's age is not young, it is time to find a quiet place and teach her to read. The literary style of the Northern Song Dynasty was quite prosperous, and many women from wealthy families could enter the school to study. However, She Yi didn't plan to let Ruoruo enter the school, he wanted to teach her in person...... Taught her Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, English......

The area of this lakeside house is comparable to the scale of Shefu in Suide City, and it is divided into front and back yards. However, the backyard is barren and overgrown with weeds, and there is only a simple firewood house.

She Yi plans to build a few greenhouses on this vacant land and grow some vegetables that she likes to eat. Get another lab, and when you're bored, you can study gunpowder, telescopes, compasses, and the like......

In the main courtyard, there are three main rooms, two rooms in the east and west wings, all of which are next to the main house, and there is a circular cloister around the wall in the courtyard, and there is a dilapidated pavilion.

Yue Mochou and She Yi hired people to be busy for a few days, and finally cleaned up the courtyard, the weeds in the backyard were eradicated, and the firewood house was pushed, forming an empty land of about two or three acres.

The housing arrangement in the front yard is that She Yi lives in the main house, Yue Mochou lives in the east wing, and Yue Shan'er and her husband live in the west wing. Ruoruo was pestered to live in the main house with She Yi at first, but Yue Mochou and She Yi considered that she was a girl, after all, she had to grow up. She Yi is nominally her uncle, but in fact she is not related by blood, and living together will eventually cause gossip. So, Ruoruo temporarily lived in another house in the east wing. She Yi promised her that she would wait until next year to build a small building in the backyard as her boudoir, and she would give up.

Xintan Lake is named with the word "lake", but it is actually not big, with a radius of only 1,000 square meters. Near the lake, there are many attic houses. Near the banks of the Cao River are moored several boats, which are dressed in nightshade. Most of the people living on the boat are women, and they are the Qingqi people who have nightshades. Some of them are still young and have not yet reached the age stipulated by the government, and some are arrogant women who are reluctant to enter the industry because of their talents. There are also old and decrepit women who have retired, because they have not saved enough silver taels to redeem themselves, and they are forced to stay here to teach those young children the skills of singing or playing the piano, or pleasing men.

Every night, there is an occasional intermittent sound of a piano or a song on the boat. Fortunately, She Yimai's house is on the other side of the lake, except for the activities on the boat, which cannot be heard at ordinary times.

The winter in Luoyang is not as cold as the winter in Suide City, and there is only a thin layer of ice on the river in the early morning, and as the sun rises, the thin ice on the river surface will melt.

In the early morning, a ray of clear sunlight filtered into the room through the gap in the window, and She Yi gently opened the window, and a cold chill blew in.

Inside the dreary room, there is a little more smell of fresh air.

She Yi took a deep breath and looked up through the window, without the pollution of industrial gases in later generations, the sky in Luoyang City in winter was still very blue.

It was his first night in his new home...... It's been a long time since I've slept so comfortably...... The hotel is on the track, and there are a lot fewer places to worry about it in the future, and he can finally enjoy a quiet and leisurely life.

Looking at the courtyard outside, he always felt that something was missing, but for a while he couldn't remember what was missing.

"Hehe......"

She Yi shook his head gently, he finally stole half a life and was going to worry about himself again.

At this time, there was a "squeak", the door of the west wing opened, and a little girl wearing a goose down floral jacket walked out of the door of the east wing.

The little girl's eyes were dark and bright, and she spun around and landed on the open window of the main room.

"Ruoruo, you woke up so early...... Uncle will give you a day off today, so you don't have to go to work in Tex......"

There was a hint of a smile on the corner of She Yi's mouth.

Ruoruo glanced at She Yi with disdain.

"Little uncle, how do I remember, it seems to be ...... I'm the boss...... If you want to take a holiday, I'll give it to you......"

Ruoruo blinked proudly after finishing speaking.

She Yi smiled...... Ruoruo's body has some shadows of her sister Xiaoyu, but it's not the same type, Xiaoyu is quiet, Ruoruo is active. Xiao Yu will not refute anything he says, whatever he says, Xiao Yu will be well-behaved. Ruoruo, on the other hand, likes to "bargain......

It's been nearly half a year, Xiaoyu's body should be better...... Today, I went to Accord to inquire about the news of Shefu in Taiyuan, so I can rest easy.

"Uncle, can you take me out to play today......

Ruoruo hesitated and spoke.

"Well, okay, uncle will take you to a good place in a while, what about your aunt?"

She Yi used a pole to hold the window.

"A-Niang went to the hotel just after dawn...... There were just two of us left in the courtyard...... Uncle, where are you taking me? ”

Ruoruo blinked curiously.

"Accord!"

She Yi smiled slightly......

"yes...... Yay......"

If you are excited......
