Sister-in-law Guo shuddered, but when Meng Zhen asked, she didn't dare not say, "Hui, Hui, girl, I... I'm afraid... I'm afraid you'll drive me away, or, or sell me. ”

Meng Zhen was stunned, "When did I say I was going to get rid of you or sell you?" ”

Sister-in-law Guo lowered her head, and a pair of rough and thin hands kneaded the corners of her clothes vigorously, "You, you said to let me temporarily... Stay for the time being to do chores. ”

Meng Hao recalled the scene at that time, and then couldn't help crying and laughing, "I mean to let you do chores temporarily, not to leave you temporarily, these are two different things." ”

Sister-in-law Guo looked confused.

Meng Hao had no choice but to explain more bluntly, "I don't want to drive you away, I just hope you can learn some other skills, so that you don't have to just clean and scrub in the future, and you can only do some rough work day after day." ”

"Look at Sister-in-law Deng, she has good cooking skills, why don't I let her be in charge of the stall on the stove? Cooking isn't easy, but it's better than doing rough work every day, right? ”

"Look at Sister-in-law Li again, I asked her to take care of my master, won't she be unable to blow in the wind or sun in the future?"

Sister-in-law Guo's lips trembled violently, and it took a while before she knelt down in front of Meng Zhen with a crying and puff, and she kept repeating while kowtowing to Meng Zhen, "Thank you, girl!" Thank you, girl! Thank you, girl! ”

Meng Zhen hurriedly helped her up, to be honest, Meng Zhen was actually very sympathetic to hard-working women like Sister-in-law Guo and Sister-in-law Li.

They were born as if they were destined to come to this world to suffer.

Their mothers and grandparents don't love them, they regard them as inferior or even inferior to pigs and dogs, and their in-laws and relatives can also oppress them and torture them.

But what's wrong with them?

They eat less, cook more, and work hard, and they are almost turning into old scalpers in human form.

Although Meng Hao had no intention of going against the worldly forces, within the scope of her own power, she still wanted to take care of these hard-working ancient women.

What she didn't know was that because of the little care and warmth she gave, Sister-in-law Guo would actually show courage and talent that were completely different from her thin body and ordinary face in the future.

Of course, that's for later.

***

It wasn't until the hour (5:15 p.m.) that Su Shen and Yan Zhenwu finally returned to the Meng family's house.

They were joined by several of Su Shen's friends.

Shen Feng had come to talk to Meng Hao about business—of course, it was getting late now, and he could only wait until tomorrow to talk.

Qi Yu'an, Li Zhengshan, and Chen Jiabao were inconvenient to go home or go back to the academy, so they were left behind by Su Shen.

Of course, these four young men will not live in the Meng family, and the Meng family has no place to place them.

Su Shen brought them over, first, to entertain them for dinner, and secondly, to get them some bedding and the like, and then send them to Mingzhang Hutong.

Hearing that he could have dinner at Meng's house, Shen Feng was excited as if he had picked up a thousand taels of silver, and Qi Yuan and the others were also looking forward to this meal because of Meng Hao's good skills.

However, they came suddenly, how could Meng Zhen have the time to prepare four dishes and eight bowls?

Fortunately, there are abundant ingredients at home, and Meng Zhen had an idea, so she simply took out the copper hot pot and served a shabu-shabu to everyone, so that they could enjoy themselves at will.

At first, Shen Feng was actually quite disappointed when he saw that it was eating hot pot, but after taking a bite of the sauce that Meng Zhen had prepared herself, Shen Feng immediately flew with chopsticks and grabbed the thin lamb slices that had just been put into the pot with Chen Jiabao.

Chen Jiabao is now much thinner than before he met Su Shen, and he has been practicing martial arts with Su Shen, so his skills are still very flexible.

Seeing Shen Feng robbing him, Chen Jiabao immediately realized that the sauce must be very delicious.

He also began to fish for meat quickly, and the two of them fought for me, and within a few chopsticks, they had already eaten all the meat slices in the pot.

Chen Jiabao put down the small colander for scooping meat, "It's delicious, it's delicious!" ”

Shen Feng didn't care about talking at all, he picked up the mutton roll on the table, brushed and pulled it, and poured two more plates into the copper hot pot.

Chen Jiabao did the same, and also poured two plates of meat slices to his side.

When the others looked at it, they said, don't say anything, grab something to eat first.

When everyone was finally satisfied, Su Shen asked people to serve tea and rinse everyone's mouth.

Chen Jiabao was holding the sour plum soup and refused to let go, "I have to drink two more bowls of this... This sour plum soup. This one is simply delicious. ”

Shen Feng nodded in agreement, "I also think this sour plum soup is very delicious." This must be Miss Meng's secret recipe again, right? ”

Su Shen glanced at him, without admitting or denying it.

Shen Feng immediately understood—this must also be Miss Meng's secret recipe.

There is also that dipping sauce, the taste is simply amazing, and I don't know how Miss Meng came up with those dipping recipes.

As soon as he thought of this, Shen Feng couldn't help but complain that his father's eyes were above the top.

If it weren't for his father offending Meng Zhen and Su Shen, he would have proposed to Su Shen to buy Meng Zhen's delicious recipes by now.

What a good way to make money!

It's a shame not to be able to buy it back!

At this time, Shen Feng didn't know that Meng Hao was about to partner with him and open a restaurant to squeeze the Shen family's restaurant business.

"Go early and come back early, be careful on the road." After everyone had dinner, Meng Hao handed over the prepared bedding and other things to Cedar, Sister-in-law Guo and others, and asked them to help send them to Su Shen's house in Mingzhang Hutong.

Because the house was booked to be used for entertaining guests today, Meng Hao had already found someone to clean it thoroughly inside and out before today.

And Su Shen only used the first courtyard to feast today, so now he can directly arrange Shen Feng and the others to stay in the second courtyard for one night.

With a few of his newly bought subordinates, Su Shen sent Shen Feng and the others to his house in Mingzhang Hutong.

In order to make it easier for them to live, Xuesong and Sister-in-law Guo did not return to Meng's house at night.

One of the two was responsible for running errands back and forth between the guests and Sister-in-law Guo, and the other was responsible for boiling hot water for the guests to wash, preparing toiletries such as cloth towels, baths, beans, wooden barrels, and essential tea and snacks for the guests.

With them here in charge of entertaining guests, Su Shen was very relieved that after Shen Feng and the others settled down, he went straight back to the Meng family's house in Huaihua Hutong.

When he arrived home, Meng Hao and the others had not yet slept, and when they heard him open the door, Meng Hao and Meng Qi immediately greeted him.

Today, because there were guests, Meng Qi was having dinner with Yan Zhenwu, Hao Mengyun and Meng Hao in the courtyard of Erjin, so at this time, this little guy was the first to run out to greet Su Shen.

"Brother Su!"

"Why haven't you rested yet?" Su Shen hugged the humanoid cannonball that was rushing towards him, "Aren't you going to go to school tomorrow?" ”

"I miss you." Although Xiao Meng Qi is seven years old, he is still very dependent on Su Shen. He hugged Su Shen's arm, his little face was slightly raised, and he looked at his expression carefully, "Brother Su, are you very tired today?" ”

Su Shen's heart was warm, he raised his hand and touched Meng Qi's head, "I'm not tired when I see Ah Qi." ”
