Su Shen, who was embarrassed to eat Haisai, still had a round stomach that night.

Although before eating, Su Shen was indeed a little entangled because of Meng Hao's "precautions", but when Meng Zhen brought the steaming copper hot pot to the kang table, Su Shen immediately threw his worries about his figure out of the clouds.

Regardless of whether he will be out of shape, he still eats first as a respect!

So, Su Shen and Xiao Meng Qi were once again glorious.

Meng Hao had expected this, and she took out a box of hawthorn pills that she always had at home from the luggage she was carrying, "Come, two pills per person, to help digestion." ”

It was not the first time that Su Shen and Meng Qi, who had eaten this thing, were as good as a stream, and the two of them each took two hawthorn pills, and then they held hands and began to circle back and forth in the courtyard of Hao Mengyun's house.

Meng Hao was amused and helpless, she put away the leftover ingredients, threw away the bones and other kitchen waste, washed the used pots and pans, and then boiled a large pot of hot water and kept it for the three of them to wash later.

Three days later, Meng Kee's pickle shop opened.

At the same time, Meng Kee grocery store once again launched a promotional campaign.

Their promotional activities this time are under the banner of the winter solstice, a traditional festival that the ancients attached great importance to, although there is still a period of time before the winter solstice, but this does not prevent Meng Ji from rubbing the heat in advance.

They set the duration of the event at seven days, and Meng Zhen still invited the previous group of little beggars to help publicize it in advance.

The content of the promotion is divided into two parts, the day before those little beggars advertised the opening of Meng Kee pickle shop for discounts, and the next day they began to promote the winter solstice activities of Meng Kee grocery store.

The pickle shop originally took the road of small profits but quick turnover, and more than ninety percent of the customer base are ordinary people in the county, so the discount of the pickle shop is far less than that of the grocery store.

However, the pickle shop's full gift activity is very attractive to the aunts and aunts in Ninghai County, because the gifts selected by Meng Zhen are all indispensable daily necessities for every household.

For example, a pack of needles, a bundle of thread, a packet of salt, a packet of sugar, a small bottle of aged vinegar or soy sauce, half a catty of pickles of a specified variety, a set of coarse porcelain bowls, and a foot of coarse cloth or muslin cloth......

There are all kinds of gifts, starting from the full fifty Wen and ending with ten taels of silver, and the value of the gifts is naturally different for different consumption grades.

It's human nature to be cheap, especially housewives who have become accustomed to living on a budget.

After seeing the pickle shop's free tastings, opening discounts, and full gift activities, they were almost immediately temporarily conquered by the pickle shop's delicious and cheap pickles.

Seeing more and more aunts and aunts taking out their purses, Meng Hao retreated into the background with satisfaction and handed over the home field to Guo Yang, Guo Song and Yang Dahu.

She planned to let these three people work in the pickle shop for the time being, and wait until Yan Zhenwu and Hao Mengyun helped her pull back the cloth, and then she transferred Guo Song and Yang Dahu to work in the cloth village.

As for the pickle shop, Meng Zhen planned to ask Yan Zhenwu to recommend one or two little beggars who were diligent, capable, and had good conduct.

When the time comes, Guo Yang, who is her eldest disciple, will take them and manage them, even if Meng Hao can't be a hands-off shopkeeper directly, at least she won't have to worry too much about this pickle shop.

Of course, in order to achieve her great goal of becoming a hands-off shopkeeper, she still has to teach her three apprentices seriously.

***

"Owner! Landlord! One night half a month after the opening of the pickle shop, Meng Zhen was sitting at Hao Mengyun's house and taking a serious inventory, when Zhao Tiezhu, the nephew of the grocery store Zhao, suddenly came to the door.

He slammed the wooden door of Hao Mengyun's house hard, and there was unconcealable excitement and... Excited?

"I'll open the door." While speaking, Su Shen put down the book and walked out of the house.

Meng Hao hurriedly handed his sheepskin jacket to Su Shen, "Dress, it's windy outside." ”

Su Shen smiled slightly, that smile made Meng Hao's heartbeat accelerate suddenly, she clutched her chest, and subconsciously inhaled hard and deeply - she had to calm down, she couldn't show her clues in front of her "employees".

"The owner, the owner, Wang Heng, the only son of Wang Wanyou just now, secretly took the oil and set it on fire outside Meng Ji. My uncle had already prepared, and with a few officials who were invited by him to dinner, he directly pressed the kid outside our shop. ”

Zhao Tiezhu looked happy, and when he walked to the door, his mouth was already pouring beans from a bamboo tube, and he explained what had happened.

He urged Meng Hao to quickly come up with an idea, "My uncle asked me to come over quickly and ask your opinion, to see if we should send him directly into the yamen, or find Wang Wanyou's deflated calf to solve it privately." ”

Meng Hao was immediately overjoyed when she heard this, "Then it depends on whether Wang Wanyou is willing to return the shop to Zhao in order to save his son." ”

Zhao Tiezhu immediately understood what Meng Hao meant, and he smiled badly, "Arson is a big crime, Wang Heng's kid has already thrown the wooden stick soaked in fire oil into Meng Ji's backyard, Wang Wanyou is mouth is all over his body, and he doesn't want to easily exonerate his son." If he is reluctant to give up the money, then we can only send his precious son to the county government and let the county lord judge according to law. ”

When Meng Hao heard this, she was immediately afraid.

Fortunately, Shopkeeper Zhao was vigilant enough to keep an eye on the people of the Wang family all the time, and he also arranged for the guys in the store to take turns to be on duty every night.

Fortunately, Wang Heng is still only a teenager, even if he does bad things, he will not be particularly thoughtful.

If this is replaced by a thoughtful adult, Meng Zhen is really afraid that Shopkeeper Zhao and others will die in the store because of a momentary accident.

She frowned, "You tell your uncle that if the Wang family wants to be private, then they must leave Ninghai County, and they must also return the shop left by my father to us completely." If they can't agree to all of these two, then you can ask your uncle to send Wang Heng to the official mansion. ”

"Okay, the villain will go and pass the word to my uncle now." Zhao Tiezhu saluted Meng Hao and Su Shen, and then immediately ran out without looking back.

Seeing that he was afraid that Meng Hao would regret it, Su Shen couldn't help but chuckle, "Tie Zhu is afraid that you will be soft-hearted for a while and let go of the people of the Wang family." ”

Meng Hao spread her hands, "If it's just vicious competition, how can I still be merciful when it comes to human life?" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, then Wang Heng should not be ten years old. Such a young child can actually set fire to and kill people, I don't dare to let them stay with us. ”

There are only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves, Meng Zhen doesn't want to keep such a tumor by his side.

Even if Wang Heng was not only a teenager, this kind of person who didn't take other people's lives seriously, Meng Zhen wanted to send him directly to the yamen.
