The matter of the snack shop was finally decided according to Zhao Shanxing's method.

There is no way, Li can't watch the shop close, and although the method proposed by Zhao Shanxing is risky, the relatively high success rate still makes Li excited.

The Li family was not vain, and immediately took action, and in less than a few hours, he sorted out the account books and the money earned by the shop in recent months.

According to the previous sharing contract, the Li family packed these two things and handed them to Zhao Shanxing.

And Zhao Shanxing got the things, and he didn't stay too long, explained to the Li family, turned around and walked out of the shop directly.

By the time Zhao Shanxing came back, it was already dark.

After a busy afternoon, Zhao Shanxing was tired, and just wanted to talk about the process with the Li family, but was called over by Zhao Yu, who was sharp-eyed, to help.

There was no way, Zhao Shanxing had to be busy with Zhao Yu's affairs first, and put the Li family behind for the time being.

Zhao Yu still ate the hot pot he made, but the time was scheduled for the evening.

Closing the door of the shop, leaving a few oil lamps for lighting in the lobby, Zhao Yu hurriedly brought up the sliced meat.

Greens, mountain mushrooms, meatballs, sliced meat...... As long as it was something that could be eaten, it was poured out by Zhao Yu.

Form a large circle around the square table in front of you.

In the middle of the table and chairs, there is a copper hot pot lit with a charcoal fire.

Finely chopped green onion, garlic, sesame seeds, soy sauce, salt, red oil, chili pepper, five-spice powder...... The ingredients used to make the hot pot are also arranged.

Zhao Yu first mixed a bowl for Li and himself, and after explaining how the others made it, he hurried back to make it.

Meat slices, meatballs, greens, and mountain mushrooms are put into the pot.

After the spicy soup in the pot rolled several times and the meatballs and greens surfaced in the soup noodles, Zhao Yu hurriedly waved his chopsticks and took them out to dip and eat them.

Because of his great enthusiasm and love for eating hot pot, Zhao Yu paid a lot for this simple hot pot.

Simply, the hot pot is very successful, the refreshing taste of the spicy soup and the lively atmosphere of everyone sitting together make people feel comfortable and happy.

Li immediately decided that when he went home for the Chinese New Year, he must bring back two copper hot pots, not to mention anything else, just thinking of the picture of the family sitting around eating hot pot is good.

After eating, Zhao Yu and several small ones were driven back to the room by the Li family to rest.

Zhao Shanxing also found Kong and told Li what happened after he went out in the afternoon,

"Mother, it's almost arranged, whether it can be done or not, we will see in two days." For the sake of conservatism, Zhao Shanxing did not make any absolute guarantees.

However, looking at Zhao Shanxing's facial expression, Li could also guess that this trip was done well.

Li nodded, "When this matter is resolved now, let's go home," At the moment, this time is still too sensitive, and it is not good to always hang around the city.

Zhao Shanxing thought about it and agreed with Li's plan to go home.

After all, there is only half a month left before the Chinese New Year.

And on his side, if he wants to solve the matter of the shop, it will take a few days at the earliest, so that even if they go home, it will not be early.

…………

Zhao Shanxing began his daily life of going out early and returning late.

The same days lasted four or five days before they ended.

Zhao Shanxing finally settled the affairs of the shop.

In the room, a paper contract was handed over to the Li family, and Zhao Shanxing said, "Mother, this is a divided contract, you quickly put it away." ”

"This is new?"

Li lowered her head and glanced at the contract she was holding in her hand.

"It's a new sharing contract," Zhao Shanyu tapped his fingers and explained, "Mrs. County Ling intervened, and the previous fifty percent of the benefits were directly split by their mother and daughter,"

"This is the contract after the split, and every three months, we need to send thirty percent of it to the county lady, and the additional two percent to the county lady's daughter alone."

After all, the county commander's daughter is married, and the place where she lives now is next door to the county commander's wife.

Therefore, this contract, on the basis of the original contract, has been modified to divide the content.

When Li heard this, he quickly tightened the contract in his hand and said to Zhao Shanxing, "Little Si, what do you mean, our shop is fine?" ”

Zhao Shanxing nodded, "If nothing else, the county order will not find us." ”

Because on the night when he revealed the news, the county magistrate's wife had already informed the county magistrate of the matter.

Otherwise, it's just a couple of people, but they are doing things for the people above, where will their own interests be moved.

The county order directly crossed out the matter about Zhao's snack shop and replaced it with a good pastry shop.

Sure enough, only a day after the contract was received, Li heard from Zheng Zhongcheng of the grain and oil shop next door that the owners of several shops on the main street in front of him had been taken away.

And this time, the county government didn't even give a decent reason.

"Sister Li, this world is really difficult for us," Zheng Zhongcheng had a bitter face, and his eyes were aimed at the Li family, "I don't know when this day will be a head." ”

Li could only pretend not to know about this, "Brother Zheng, it's wrong for you to ask me, where can ordinary people like us know any news?" ”

"Hey, let's not talk about this, Brother Zheng, your shop, you still sell food right now, seeing that the New Year is coming, eldest sister, I am also going home," Li said, and then sighed, "There are many people in the family, so you have to buy some to go back for emergencies." ”

Zheng Zhongcheng was a little disappointed when he saw that Li's mouth was tight, and he didn't say anything.

However, when he heard the other party mention that he wanted to buy grain, Zheng Zhongcheng's eyes lit up, and he quickly changed to the Venerable Master's unique face, "Yes, yes, no, you know, eldest sister, this price," Zheng Zhongcheng rubbed his fingers as he spoke.

The implication is that the price is not cheap.

The Li family has been in the city all the time, how can they not know the recent situation in the city.

If you don't talk about cotton and cloth, just talk about grain, it's going crazy.

Nodding, "It's more expensive than hungry." ”

"Okay, how much do you want, eldest sister?" Zheng Zhongcheng saw that the Li family did not bargain, and thought that he might be able to sell more.

"One stone"

Li didn't ask for much, the main grain was indeed too expensive.

Zheng Zhongcheng thought about it, but nodded in agreement, "Eldest sister, this is you, others, brother, I won't sell so much." ”

Good guy, a stone of grain weighs more than a hundred pounds, and when the price of grain in the city did not rise in the past, it was really nothing.

But not right now.

You must know that in order to make more money for a long time, Zheng Zhongcheng sells grain every day and controls the number of catties of grain.

At present, his grain and oil shop can only sell two stones a day, and the Li family directly asks for half of it, so others can't buy it.

Li also knew that the other party intended to take care of him, so he smiled and said two polite words.

…………

On the 22nd day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, there are only eight days left before the Chinese New Year.

The night before, Li and the three sisters of Zhao Yu told them that they would go home tomorrow.

So early in the morning, the three villains got up from the bed early.

When he got up, Li was sitting on the ground tidying up his things, and the floor of the room was full of large bags and small bags of things to bring back.

Zhao Shanxing went out to rent a car.

There has been no snow in recent days, and the road is a little better.

Li wanted to go back quickly.

"Quickly pack up, pack up, hurry to the ox cart," Li quickly shouted, and followed to the front with the leather he bought from the shop outside.

The rented bullock cart was parked in front of the shop.

Zhao Shanxing fed the grain and grass while carrying the things he wanted to take home.

Although he has been studying in the city, he also works in the fields during the school holidays, so he also drives ox carts.

Zheng Zhongcheng transported a stone of grain ordered by Li Shiding, and talked to Zhao Shanxing while carrying it on the ox cart.

It's a pity that Zhao Shanxing's mouth is stricter than Li's, Zheng Zhongcheng asked and asked, but he couldn't find out anything at all, so he had no choice but to go back to the shop.

Zhao Shanxing didn't care, continued to take the big bag and small wrap sent by the Li family, and carefully put it on the ox cart and tied it.

Loading everything that should be brought back into the ox cart, Li pulled out another set of bedding, wrapped Zhao Yu and several girls sitting on the ox cart, and finally locked the shop.

"Let's go, go home!"

Climbing into the ox cart and wrapping himself, Li greeted Zhao Shanxing.

The ox cart slowly moved and drove towards the village of Shangwa in the distance.
