As soon as March arrived, the weather in Kyoto City began to warm, Xi Hongdou's barbecue stall began to expand, and the farm in Shuobei was also expanding.

Although Daguli is a Hui person, but the status of Hui women is not very high, her father only has one daughter, so she took over the family business, but the uncles and brothers in the clan are also eyeing her share of the family business, and even want to empty her power and seek her property through marriage. Although she is married, she can't really let go for the sake of her property, and she lives hard to ride a tiger all day long.

For Xi Hongdou, Daguli is sympathetic, they are also women, and Yanyun's status as a woman is not very high, but Xi Hongdou can still hold up a piece of the sky, so let her have a sense of closeness, and feel that it is not difficult for a woman to be the master of the house, but the embarrassment is embarrassing that Xi Hongdou is not the one who is in charge, people have husbands and in-laws, and now they have children, just looking at the surface, she also has the same, but the feelings are different, she has also seen Xi Hongdou's husband, and the relationship between the two is really harder than gold, But she, her husband never seemed to say anything to her, and her marriage was only an empty shell.

"I have gained so much by giving up so much, but people have done it without giving up anything, it seems that my idea is wrong." Daguli said that she knew how difficult the road she had chosen, and in the face of the responsibilities of others and the abuse behind her back, all she could do was to prove herself more alone, but now when she saw Xi Hongdou, she was a little shaken.

It was already mid-March when Xi Hongdou received Daguli's letter, and Daguli said that she would come to Kyoto City in April, and she was naturally happy, and it was naturally best to talk in detail in person.

As soon as the weather was hot, Xi Hongdou wanted to eat something refreshing, and then went to the kitchen to find Uncle Fang, ready to develop cold skin.

Xi Hongdou has also studied this thing of Liangpi, and it is not difficult to do it, and after talking to Uncle Fang about his thoughts, Uncle Fang moved quickly, and he started to do it on the same day.

However, after all, Xi Hongdou only knows the method, and it is a waste to really do it yourself, so Uncle Fang can only figure it out by himself according to Xi Hongdou's rough practice, after a day of experiments, several failures, and finally made a finished product, Xi Hongdou looked very good, and then directly promoted it in the barbecue shop.

Gao Yue is also out of confinement now.,After the full moon wine is done, I will return to the shop to help.,Before Gao Yue was responsible for running the hall and doing chores.,Now there's one more project.,It's not enough for Gao Yue to do chores alone.。

Sister-in-law Liu wrote a recruitment notice and posted it, recruiting two people, but she still said to Xi Hongdou: "The practice of this thing is also quite complicated, if you teach it to the guy who just came, will it ......" She was leaked when the secret recipe was leaked.

Xi Hongdou originally thought that if someone leaked this recipe, it would indeed be not easy to do, so he said to Sister-in-law Liu: "In the future, Sister-in-law will come to make dough, and people don't know what is in it, and the most troublesome thing is to wash the face, this step is handed over to others, and the rest will be like this first." "It is estimated that the leakage will be sooner or later, but by then, I will have made a lot of money, and I will not lose money.

Sister-in-law Liu nodded, and then began to recruit workers, all of them were powerful, and when someone came to find them, it would be three days later.

The weather in Kyoto City is hot quickly, and the barbecue shop soon introduced cold skin, because of its unique taste, it is also hot in Kyoto City.

There is no shortage of local snacks in Kyoto City, but there are really not many noodles, and the common noodles on the market are also made in soup, and the strong noodles abound, but the taste of the cold skin is particularly unique, and the cold salad is even more refreshing, and the sales are also out of stock.

"Owner, this cold skin is really good, some people who don't eat meat skewers here have to buy a copy and eat it at home." Sister-in-law Liu said with a smile that the turnover of the account has increased again in the past few days.

Xi Hongdou nodded, but began to ponder, now the size of the store may be limited.

In the past, there was only one barbecue shop, and there were not many places for dine-in, and most people could buy and take them away, but now with the increase in meal items, there are more and more people eating in, and the space is not enough. She thought about setting up an outdoor "food stall", but the road was not wide, and it was really unrealistic to set up a roadside stall.

"Why don't you build a big shed outside the city?" Xi Hongdou said: "As long as you can shelter from the wind and rain." ”

Liang Sheng and Cui Shan's work site does not need to be very large, and it is not complicated.

Sister-in-law Liu said: "It's good to get one outside the city, it's next to the lake, and the scenery is good." ”

Xi Hongdou's mind is like the previous lakeside resort, and it is drenched in water, and you can directly come to eat some live fish.

"It's fine, but I'll have to investigate." Xi Hongdou said that the feasibility has to be confirmed again and again.

At noon, Xi Hongdou went home, and there were a few people waiting at the door of the house, and when Xi Hongdou saw it, he smiled and said, "It's a few of you!" ”

The person at the door is none other than Lin Da and his four brothers!

Xiao Zhi was hurriedly transferred out of Shuobei before, but because Xiao Zhi was not at ease, he left Lin Da and a few of them in Shuobei to help, and after such a long time, Xi Hongdou didn't expect to see these people again, thinking that these brothers had taken root and lived in Shuobei.

When Lin Da saw Xi Hongdou, he was also full of joy, and said, "Young grandma, I can see you!" ”

Xi Hongdou hurriedly led a few people into the door, and after chatting, he realized that it was Xiao Zhi who wrote to ask a few of them to come back. Xiao Zhi brought Master Zhao back, and then arranged a place for Zhao Huan in Kyoto City, and now they went back to Kyoto City to meet Zhao Huan, and then they came to the house to find Xiao Zhi.

"I guess he'll be back in a while, and when you come back, did the letter say anything else?" Xi Hongdou asked, suspecting that Xiao Zhi had encountered something tricky and had to find a few helpers. And even if Qiao helps, the Xiao family will not be able to get the brothers back from afar.

Lin Da shook his head: "The young master only said to let him come back, when we left, the county master didn't want to release people!" "I'm very proud.

Xi Hongdou didn't know the inside story, so he could only wait for Xiao Zhi to come back and ask.

When Xiao Zhi came back at noon, he directly left the Lin family brothers to eat at home, and then talked about Xue Ling.

At the beginning, he secretly transported Guo Linjiang back to Kyoto City from Shuobei, and it stands to reason that he should have beheaded him last autumn, and the reason why he saved people's lives was to report Xue Ling. Now that a clan case is related to Xue Ling, it's time to restart this matter.

Xi Hongdou went to Mrs. Xiao's to see the children, which did not affect their conversation, but she always felt that Xiao Zhi was doing something dangerous.

The affairs of the clan relatives were to be handed over to Dali Temple, but Dali Temple couldn't make trouble for no reason, so Xiao Zhi finally handed Guo Linjiang into the hands of the Criminal Department.

Liang Qiao, the secretary of the criminal department, is newly appointed, the original Shangshu was directly "clothed" by the emperor's holy decree because of the secret collusion with Concubine Jing and the prince, and now the new Shangshu has a grudge with Guo Xiao, the secretary of the ministry, and after learning that it was Xiao Zhi who provided the clues, he was still a little uneasy, thinking that he would not be deliberately fishing, right? Once the case involves the clan relatives, it will be difficult to handle, although he has just made a book, but he has also served in the criminal department for many years, and the ditches and bumps in it are also clear.

"Lord Liang, do you know that he returned to Beijing and joined the original ministry of officials in less than a year?" Xiao Zhi asked with a smile.

Liang Qiao said directly: "Naturally, it is the emperor's ......" Halfway through the words, Liang Qiao was stunned, he just knew that the emperor valued Xiao Zhi's talent, so he would transfer people back. But why do you place people's official positions in the ministry?

"What do you mean by Lord Xiao......?" Liang Qiao asked tentatively.

Xiao Zhi didn't say a word, but just pushed the evidence in his hand forward: "Not long after Lord Liang took office, I am naturally willing to help Lord Liang and let Lord Liang sit in this position, but unfortunately I can't do anything big with my words, and now I can only do a little bit for Lord Liang." ”

Liang Qiao thought about this, Xiao Zhi is indeed not an official position now, even if there is an old man who is the head of the household department, he doesn't have to be afraid of Xiao Zhi. But now Xiao Zhi should be doing things for the emperor, just looking at the previous letter from the prince to the clan relatives to reduce the promise of the emperor, it shows that the emperor is also thinking about suppressing the clan's right to speak on the imperial power.

"Thank you so much, Lord Xiao." Liang Qiao said that he accepted the evidence, and it was not difficult to make a choice after weighing the pros and cons. And Xiao Zhi in front of him made him feel terrible, with such courage, it is no wonder that the emperor would hand over the matter of his clan to such a young man.

Xiao Zhi said with a smile: "I wish Lord Liang success here!" "Liang Qiao will not go against the emperor's wishes, there is no choice in this matter, and he will not publicize his affairs, otherwise he will face the clan head-on, and this matter will be carried out in secret.

Liang Qiao watched Xiao Zhi leave, and then he was thinking about how to do this thing beautifully, the previous Shangshu disappeared because of disobedience, and now if he wants to gain a firm foothold, he has to let the emperor know his loyalty.

When Xiao Zhi returned home, Xi Hongdou asked, "Are you planning something big?" ”

"yes, I'm ready to start moving north." Xiao Zhi said that Xue Ling is in one day, and the sky in Shuobei is not a sunny day.

Xi Hongdou was a little worried: "I still think that Xue Ling is too old a fox, and it's not easy to trip." ”

"Don't worry about that, I'll do it." Xiao Zhi said.
