After almost a whole afternoon, Li and Zhao Yu successfully cleaned up the shop hall.

Of course, this kind of cleaning is limited to cleaning the ground, drying tables, chairs and benches, etc., after all, Li also seized the time to simply deal with the food brought back from home, which also delayed a lot of time.

In the kitchen, all kinds of bottles and cans stacked up were specially packed up when Li left, and now they are opened again, but they also find that they can't be used.

For example, the braised soup that Li usually uses to make lo-mei has been used for a long time, and the lo-mei tastes very mellow, but now the braised soup in this jar is already bad, and it can only be poured out and re-cooked.

In addition, there are some of Lee's spare cold dishes and snacks, which are also long hair and moldy, and they must be thrown away.

Counting it all down, most of them can't be used.

There were still some spices left after the shop was bought, and after Li simply cleaned them up, he boiled them together with the brushed iron pot and the pork bones he brought back.

I didn't do anything for dinner, I just boiled the leftovers I brought back, and made a few white flour steamed buns, and after the four of them ate briefly, Li took Zhao Shanlin to the grain and oil shop next door.

After a lot of tongues, the two of them successfully bought a stone of grain, but the price was twice as expensive as a year ago.

Zhao Shanlin stayed for one more day, and the next morning, Li took him to the grain and oil shop next to him to buy grain.

There are not many grain and oil shops in the entire Changle County, no matter how big or small, all of them are counted as more than a dozen.

The two of them walked for a morning, almost all of them, and after calculating the whole thing, they could buy less than five stones of grain.

And all of this food, except for a small part left in the shop, the rest was all pulled home by Zhao Shanlin.

It wasn't until Zhao Shanlin left that the matter of buying grain came to an end.

Over the next few days, Lee focused his gaze back on the shop.

I also found a few guys hired before, and Li arranged for people to officially go to work according to the order of the previous few people.

It's buying vegetables and meat, and I finally have all the food raw materials that the shop needs.

On the twenty-second day of the first month, Zhao's snack shop opened again.

Compared with the opening, the opening of the snack shop this time can be described as very low-key.

If it weren't for the diners around who noticed that the shop was open, no one would have known that Li had returned.

This was not salty and did not take lightly for almost ten days.

At the beginning of February, the school opened, and Zhao Shanxing completely moved back to the school from the shop.

And Zhao's snack shop, in addition to the three guys who came to work during the day, there are only two people left, Li and Zhao Yuzu.

At this time, the wind in the city is getting tighter and tighter.

Just when Li was hesitating to let his family come up quickly, on the third night of the second lunar month, there was a sudden knock on the door of the shop.

At this time, it was already the third watch outside.

Li Shi was so frightened that he quickly rolled over from the bed and sat up.

Looking down at Zhao Yu, who was sleeping soundly beside her, Li Shi summed up in her heart, gritted her teeth, and went directly to the ground with her shoes, and at the same time, she touched the kitchen knife she put aside, and walked cautiously towards the door.

Outside, the knocking on the door had stopped, and the whole space was silent.

Li squinted his eyes, opened the door lightly, and then poked his head out, looking around the courtyard with a nervous expression.

As she scanned around, she really found a problem.

Li saw a dark figure in the corner directly opposite.

Lee: !!

Gritting his teeth and controlling his desire to scream, Li squeezed the kitchen knife in his hand with one hand, his eyes staring at the black shadow opposite.

Because half of his body was hidden in the shadows in the corner, Li still couldn't see it really.

However, the movement of that one was a little strange, as if it was tripped by something, and although the body was shaking, the person didn't move for a long time.

Thinking of this, Li planned to take the initiative to attack, and slowly approached with a kitchen knife in his hand, seeing that he was about to come to him, Li roared and brandished a kitchen knife to cut.

As a result, the black shadow in front turned around and was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted his mother.

Mother?

Li Shi was stunned for a moment, and quickly held the kitchen knife in his hand.

"Little Five?" Because of nervousness, Lee's voice was still a little trembling.

The black shadow, that is, Zhao Shanyu nodded in fright, "It's me, mother, I'm Zhao Shanyu, Zhao Xiaowu." ”

Li Shi was stunned when he heard this, and then stared at the black shadow in front of him.

Hey, that's the unlucky kid!

Hearing the familiar voice and seeing the familiar appearance again, Li hurriedly threw the kitchen knife in his hand to the ground, and then slapped Zhao Shanyu on the shoulder fiercely, "You are a dead person, what are you doing?" In the middle of the night, what wall do you jump without going to the main gate? ”

The commotion in the middle of the night scared her heart to jump out, and she thought it was a thief, and she couldn't learn it well.

Zhao Shanyu is also very aggrieved, doesn't he want to go to the main gate, it's not that he can't go,

"Mother, don't scold, foot, I'm entangled in the rope in the yard."

Li Shi looked down and really saw the hemp rope on Zhao Shanyu's ankle.

This hemp rope was originally a trap she made herself during the day, in order to prevent someone from jumping over the wall to steal, but she didn't expect that she didn't catch any thieves, but caught her own son.

With a helpless white look, Li hurriedly picked up the kitchen knife on the side, clicked twice, and cut the entangled rope directly.

The rope was broken, and Zhao Shanyu's helped ankle was able to move.

After trying to move, after confirming that there was no problem, Zhao Shanyu breathed a sigh of relief, followed by picking up the burden that he threw off on the side, and pushed Li to go to the courtyard,

"Mother, hurry up, look at what good things I took, they were all brought back from the south," Zhao Shanyu said in a happy tone, like a child who got something fun, and couldn't wait to show it to the adults at home.

Even though Li Shi was disgusted on the surface, she was still happy that her child was back, and she didn't forget to muttered that she came back so late, and her body honestly followed back.

did not go back to the room where they slept before, Li and Zhao Shanyu went back to the next room where Zhao Shanyu lived.

Because this room has been lived in by Zhao Shanxing for a while, it doesn't seem empty.

After entering the house, Zhao Shanyu hurriedly closed the door behind him, and at the same time did not forget to touch the windowsill next to him, and found a extinguished oil lamp, Zhao Shanyu directly took out a flint and steel to light it.

The light emitted from the oil lamp instantly illuminates the whole room.

Zhao Shanyu put the oil lamp aside to fix it, while he himself ran to the bed, shook off the burden on his back, and stretched his limbs and lay down comfortably.

Lee's ......

Li stepped forward, stretched out his foot and kicked it, and at the same time Nunu mouthed in the direction of the burden, "It's not to show me, open it and take a look." ”

Zhao Shanyu smiled, quickly turned over and sat up from the bed, patted the bed, "Mother, you sit too." ”

After speaking, Zhao Shanyu did not forget to lean to the side enthusiastically to make room for the Li family.

Li was not hypocritical, and after sitting down, his eyes kept staring at the burden in Zhao Shanyu's hand.

It was too dark outside just now, and Li couldn't see what Zhao Shanyu was carrying clearly.

Right now, with the light around me, I can see it clearly.

He, this burden, looking at the bulging bag, it seems that there are a lot of things in it.

Zhao Shanyu didn't sell it, and directly unwrapped the burden in three clicks and two clicks, revealing the things in the baggage one by one.

Good guy, I don't know if it's made out, and the appearance is shining with gold, and it's weird and dazzling.

"What is this?"

Li Shi took out a round object the size of a palm and asked Zhao Shanyu with a confused expression.

Zhao Shanyu hurriedly pushed the round object upwards, and the original thing that looked like a lid was turned up, and a delicate disc came out on the bottom.

"There's also two needle-like walks around," Li looked at the novelty, and couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Seeing this, Zhao Shanyu hurriedly showed this thing to Li's family, "Mother, this is something I bought back for twenty taels of silver, and it is said to be an object called a pocket watch, but it is not simple, no," Zhao Shanyu pointed to the constantly rotating pointer inside, "Where this thing goes, it means what time it is,"

"It's just been the third watch, and right now, it's an ugly moment."

Li Shi listened, stunned, "This, is it really so accurate?" "I don't believe it yet.

Zhao Shanyu patted his chest and promised, "Mother, it's more accurate than you think, don't believe it, you see, when the fifth watch is over, it should also report the time." ”

In order to verify the authenticity, Li didn't sleep directly, and stayed up until the fifth watch.

Sure enough, when it was time for the fifth watch, with the sound of the gong of the night watchman outside, the round dial held by Li Shi also ticked five times.

Lee's eyes widened in shock.

No, I didn't expect that this object called a pocket watch is really so accurate!
