Chapter 137: Your Brother Is Not Dumb

After Wan and Old Man Shen got the silver, the two of them were still very cautious, except for some broken silver, they asked Jiang Zipei to exchange it for a silver ticket to carry with them, and they happily drove the ox cart to the town to buy things.

It was close to noon on this day, and the brothers and sisters Shen Shuang and Jiang Zipei discussed and formulated the menu for the opening of Yunlai Lou in a few days, in addition to the signature dishes of the two chefs of Kaiyun Lai Lou Tang and Song, they have been trying to come up with new dishes these days, and they have really made new discoveries, and now they can't help but admire Shen Shuang a little more sincerely.

Of course, Shen Shuang also brought some dried Chaotian peppers to the two cooks today, if they can use it best, if they don't know how to use it, Shen Shuang can also give advice.

After all, she felt that she still took advantage of Jiang Zipei, and she naturally wanted to give some benefits when she got the silver, and the two sides were mutually beneficial, so she could naturally achieve a win-win situation.

In three days, Yunlai Building was about to reopen, and Shen Shuang could see that Jiang Zipei was both excited and nervous, so he couldn't help but say a few more words.

"Jiang Gongzi don't have to be nervous, you have to believe that the current Yunlai Building is not what it used to be, I have also seen the situation of the Manfu Building on the opposite side from a distance, there are indeed more guests, but I have observed before, although there are many merchants coming and going from the north and south of the mountain town, there are still a few who do not know the situation of the Manfu Building."

Jiang Zipei nodded when he heard this, "That's true, when we first opened Yunlai Building, we relied on those merchants who were not familiar customers of Manfu Building. There are not many rich and noble families in the backing town, and the restaurant inn is doing the business of foreign merchants, if it can make a name for itself among them, it is naturally good, I only hope that this time we can attract more guests. ”

In fact, Jiang Zipei still couldn't help but be apprehensive in his heart, although the decoration of Yunlai Lou couldn't cost much silver, but he was afraid that he would only be able to maintain a good business for a few days if he opened again, and it didn't take long for the Manfu Building opposite to still steal most of the guests.

Shen Shuang said, "Although Manfulou is a big inn, there are not many guests, and I have also inquired about the accommodation fee opposite, the first-class rooms have several taels of houses every day, and there are guests eating in the restaurant during the day every day, and the guests staying upstairs will dislike the noisy, in fact, there are not many repeat guests, so in fact, the advantages of their home are not very obvious." ”

This situation was inquired about by Shen Shuang last time, and the advantages of Manfulou that she thought before were actually not any advantages after careful calculation, "Jiang Gongzi, maybe we can cooperate with nearby inns with good accommodation quality, he recommends guests to us, and we can also recommend guests to them." ”

Jiang Zitong hurriedly clapped his hands when he heard this, "Sister Shen, what do you think of this method, I think it makes sense, what do you think, Brother Seven?" ”

Jiang Zipei was naturally very surprised, thinking about it, the best of both worlds to reach a cooperation, both parties can make money, he raised his head, and said with some excitement, "There is a Hongyun Inn near us, just at the end of the street, there are some shops that open grain stores to buy and sell, usually very quiet, before my sister and I first arrived, we lived there, where the price is favorable." It's just that the location is not particularly conspicuous, and maybe many foreign merchants will not find the inn. ”

Shen Shuang's eyes lit up, "That's good, foreign merchants don't know, then we'll introduce you." Maybe there are many old customers there, and the shopkeeper can also introduce Yunlai Lou. ”

After all the things that should be discussed were discussed, Jiang Zipei took Uncle Mo out of the Hongyun Inn to talk about business with someone non-stop, while Shen Shuang and Jiang Zitong planned to take Xiaoshan to the town's medical hall to find a doctor to show Xiaoshan his throat.

Because Xiaoshan couldn't understand the adults talking about things, he stayed in the yard to play with the little wolf cub, eating the snacks Jiang Zitong gave him from time to time, and finally fell asleep on the small stool in the yard while waiting.

Shen Shuang walked to the yard and looked at her little brother, although he had grown a lot of meat during this time, but Shen Shuang felt that it was not enough, she should still buy more pork bones and go back to stew soup when she came back in a while, thinking that she hadn't drunk the old fire soup for a long time, she was a little hungry.

Jiang Zitong looked at Shen Shuang with a look of surprise, "Sister Shen, what delicious food did you think of?" Why do you look greedy? ”

Shen Shuang touched his face, "...... My expression is so obvious? Can you tell what I'm craving? ”

Jiang Zitong nodded vigorously, "That's right." ”

Shen Shuang smiled embarrassedly, "I thought of pork bone soup, I will buy some to stew at home when I go home in a while, and then buy some medicinal herbs and stew them together, it is fragrant." ”

Jiang Zitong frowned, "Pork bone soup? I've never heard of this soup, but I remember the cook at home saying that pork bones have no meat and they have to be thrown away. ”

Shen Shuang bought all the fat meat before, and he really didn't pay attention to the pork bones, if this is the case, wouldn't the pork bones be very cheap?

Just wondering, Jiang Zitong said again, "Sister Shen, you just said that you want to stew soup with medicinal herbs?" I've never drunk it, and the medicine is so unpalatable, isn't it that the pork bone broth is also unpalatable. ”

"How can it be, the medicinal herb soup is a medicinal soup, it is good for people, nutritious, and very delicious, when the time comes, I will stew it for you, you will know if you taste it."

"Yes, yes."

"As for today, I can only stew it for our family and drink it for nothing."

Shen Shuang said, touching the little head of Xiaoshan who had been following him, and the white man in his arms raised his head vigorously, and wanted to touch it, but Shen Shuang pretended not to see it, and caused white dissatisfaction.

The two of them quickly found the medical hall, and the doctor was still resting at this time, so Shen Shuang and Jiang Zitong followed the instructions of the medicine boy in the medical hall and sat aside and waited.

Not long after, a white-bearded doctor opened the curtain and walked out, followed by a little medicine boy, who looked the size of a small mountain, looked very regular, and stood behind the old doctor without squinting.

Although Shen Shuang had seen Dr. Sun before, she had heard that he had learned medical skills as a medicine boy in the town, so she couldn't help but look at the little medicine boy with curiosity at this moment.

Jiang Zitong leaned over, "Sister Shen, what do you think of that little medicine boy?" Is there anything strange about him? ”

Shen Shuang shook his head, "No, I just think that he studied medicine at a young age, and he may have to read medical books to learn how to distinguish medicine, which must be very difficult, but it is quite powerful." ”

Saying that, Shen Shuang's words changed and he hugged Xiaoshan's shoulder, "But it's not easy for us Xiaoshan, we can beat pigweed at a young age, and we will help pick up firewood and wash vegetables." ”

Xiaoshan lowered his head embarrassedly, and the little wolf cub on the side seemed to understand Shen Shuang's words, and he snorted in his nose, which seemed to be disdainful, of course no one knew.

Shen Shuang asked her mother before, Xiaoshan would cry when he was born, but his voice would be much quieter than that of other children, but because he was born from a fall of Xu's family, he was born prematurely, and the family didn't think much about it at that time, thinking that it would be good to be able to feed Xiaoshan.

So Shen Shuang guessed that the reason why Xiaoshan couldn't speak so far should be that he was born stunted, coupled with Wan's dislike, and often sent him to work, the children in the village didn't like to play with him, and the number of times he was called a little mute would form an inferiority complex in his heart.

Although her father and mother love Xiaoshan, they go out early and return late to work every day, but they can't take good care of him, and over time, no one teaches him to speak, maybe it's delayed like this.

Although Xiaoshan listened to his sister's praise, he was still very nervous in his heart, in fact, he was very scared when he heard that he was going to see the doctor, he didn't know why everyone could talk, but he couldn't speak.

What he was more afraid of was that he couldn't speak after coming to see the doctor, and he would see the disappointed eyes of his father and sister, which Xiaoshan didn't want to see.

Although he was afraid, he still came, just for Shen Shuang.

Shen Shuang didn't know what Xiao Shan was thinking, she thought of Little Orion at this time, she felt that she might find a time to communicate with him in text and talk about his past.

If Xiaoshan can be healed, maybe Xiao Orion can too, and Shen Shuang even began to look forward to hearing Xiao Orion's voice.

After the patient in front of Xiaoshan took the medicine and left, it was Xiaoshan's turn to see a doctor, and the little guy was still a little afraid, so he pulled Shen Shuang's sleeve and hid behind her, looking at the doctor timidly.

Jiang Zitong on the side didn't like the smell of medicine in this medical hall, and had already gone out to buy food with the little wolf cub, but it was rare that she didn't refuse her in vain, so Shen Shuang also agreed to let her out.

"Xiaoshan, you come here to sit, let the doctor look at your voice, maybe after reading it, you will be able to speak, and then you can study with your sister."

At first, Xiaoshan was afraid that he would not be able to cure his sister and disappoint him, but when he just sat and waited, he saw the doctor holding a long needle and stabbed people, and he trembled with fear.

But seeing her sister squatting down and talking to herself, Xiaoshan let go of the hand that was pinching her sleeve, and finally nodded under Shen Shuang's expectation.

Shen Shuang also guessed what Xiaoshan's reaction was for, but at this time, the doctor was waiting, and it was inconvenient for her to say more, "Doctor, my brother is six years old and still can't speak like an ordinary child, my mother said that his crying voice was a little weak when he was born, and I want the doctor to show me what is going on." ”

The white-bearded doctor was very kind, naturally seeing Xiaoshan's frightened and frightened appearance, he nodded, and then gestured to the small pillow with the pulse, Shen Shuang hurriedly rolled up the sleeve of Xiaoshan's clothes and put his left hand in front of the doctor.

Shen Shuang stood aside, watching the doctor ask Xiaoshan Wangwen, naturally it was Shen Shuang, after the diagnosis, he looked at Shen Shuang, "Girl, your brother is not mute, but he is now old, and he has missed the best time to practice speaking, and he still needs to take medicine through acupuncture and moxibustion to cooperate with the treatment to be cured." ”
