Chapter 140: Behind Closed Doors

The snow in the wax moon has been raining for seven days with the cold wind.

The business of Yipinlou has not decreased but increased in the past few days, and the wealthier people in the town, weddings, funerals, and longevity, are willing to spend more money to set up a few tables in Yipinlou, or invite the chef of Yipinlou to make a banquet, feast relatives and friends, and have more face.

Lin Mei has been staring at the kitchen for the past few days, afraid that her subordinates will be sloppy and careless, and they will mess up the signboard of Yipinlou.

The shopkeeper Tong also ran on both sides of the Yipinlou and the hot pot restaurant, and he was so tired that he didn't even have the time to drink saliva, but fortunately, the two stores were not very far away.

In his spare time, he reported the recent order to Lin Mei.

"Tell the big guy, everyone has been working hard lately, staring at each other, don't go wrong. All of them worked up their spirits, performed their duties, and did all the errands, and the day before the Chinese New Year's Eve, I gave red envelopes to the big guys. ”

The shopkeeper Tong responded with a smile: "Don't worry, master, you just prepare the red envelope, I have explained everything else, if anyone smashes the errand and goes wrong, and the errand is lost, you have to be fined silver." ”

After speaking, he thought about the second son in his heart and asked, "I don't know if the master has news of great talent now?" I don't know if I can come back before thirty? ”

Lin Mei understood his worries about being a father, and comforted: "The day before yesterday, I also received a letter from him that he asked someone to bring back, and the person had already arrived in Pingyao County, saying that he was going to stay for two days, and I estimated that I would definitely be able to rush back before the big cold." ”

The shopkeeper Tong got the news of his son, and he felt a lot more at ease, but he couldn't figure it out, obviously he came back directly from Taifeng County, why did he go around to Pingyao County. The son has a disability and can still be reused by the master's family, which should be a matter of pride, but he is alone outside, saying that he is not worried that it is false, this day is cold, the snow is deep, and it is not easy to travel. If this dies outside, there will not even be a descendant who burns paper money in the future.

muttered in his mouth: "This stinky boy, why did he go around to Pingyao County?" ”

Lin Mei was a little embarrassed to hear this, and said: "I blame me for this, I heard that the cattle in Pingyao County are well raised, their meat is ruddy in color, the meat is tender, fat but not greasy, thin but not firewood, and I mentioned a few words to him by the way, if I have the opportunity, I will also get it back to taste." It is estimated that he remembered it at the time, so he took a detour to Pingyao this time. ”

The shopkeeper Tong smiled and said: "The master really has a bright eye, I also went to Pingyao County when I was young, the beef there tastes really good, but unfortunately I haven't eaten it for many years, this time I don't know if I can take advantage of the master's light, and then taste the aftertaste." ”

Lin Mei smiled: "What's so difficult about this, if Dacai really gets this beef back this time, I'll give him a credit." ”

At this time.

Liu Dawu stood in front of the Yipin Building and stopped, looked at the store full of friends, and observed carefully, but did not see the person he wanted to see.

Two days ago, I went back to the village to visit relatives and met Lin Qing by chance, only to learn that Lin Mei had not yet been engaged, and her heart was already disheartened like a dead tree, as if it had encountered a timely rain, and new sprouts had reappeared.

"This military master, I'm sorry, our Yipinlou is all covered today, if you want to try it, you have to do it tomorrow." The new buddy Da Niu saw that he had been standing at the door, so he took the initiative to tell him.

Liu Dawu glanced at him and said with a smile: "I'm not here to eat, I'm looking for your master." ”

"Yo, it's a coincidence, the master is not here today, if you want to book a table, it's the same to talk to the shopkeeper Tong, I'll call him, dare to ask the military master's surname?" Da Niu said with a smile.

"I'm not here to book a table, let me ask you, your master's name is Lin Mei, right? I am an old acquaintance with her, if she comes back, you tell her, and say that I Liu Dawu is back, and I will come to visit another day. Liu Dawu said with some loss.

Seeing that what he said had a name and a surname, it didn't look like a fake, Da Niu looked left and right, and whispered: "Why don't you wait a while, I'll go to the backyard to see if the master is back." ”

When Liu Dawu heard this, he immediately understood that it must have been Lin Mei who ordered the guys to say that he was not there, but he didn't know who he was hiding.

When Lin Mei was young, when she listened to the report of the big cow, she was stunned for a moment, she couldn't believe her ears, and asked, "Who did you just say was looking for me?" ”

Da Niu also met the liar, and replied: "He said that his name is Liu Dawu, I saw that he was a military master, and what he said was an old acquaintance with you, and what he said had a name and surname, so this is true." The master doesn't know him? Then I'm going to send them away. ”

"You wait a while, forget it, you still tell him that I'm not there and I'm out on errands." Although Lin Mei was at a loss, she still felt that it was better not to see her.

This man didn't know where he came back, how did he become a military master, could it be that he joined the army? Lin Mei lingered in her heart.

Liu Dawu got the reply of his buddy Da Niu, it must have been Lin Mei hiding from him, although he was a little disappointed, but he was relieved immediately, but fortunately he knew that she lived in Yulin Lane.

Thinking that tomorrow will be Laba, then prepare a thin gift, visit the master first, save the relationship between master and apprentice, and then find a way to resolve the resentment in her heart.

Liu Dawu was about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly heard the word Lin Mei, stopped, turned his head to find out, and saw that the guy just now called the scholar "Xiao Gongzi" with a smile, it seems that this white-faced scholar "Xiao Gongzi" also came to find Lin Mei, and he is a frequent visitor. The guy greeted "Xiao Gongzi" warmly, and only returned to the master's absence at the end.

Seeing that someone had eaten a closed door like himself, somehow, he was in a good mood, hummed a small tune, and strode away.

……

Father Lin has never gone out since he sent the Zhou sisters back, and he sits at home every day, so he is afraid that his daughter-in-law will make trouble.

Zhang Dabao was not allowed to go out even if he was restrained, after all, Zhang Dabao was a half-old child, where to sit at home, only stayed for a day, and the whole person was listless.

In the evening, he begged to pester Lin Mei and say Cao Cao, talk about Xiang Yu, and talk about thirty-six plans.

Lin Mei was tired for a day, how could she have the time to chat with him, and finally thought of a compromise method: Sixi was literate, took a few wild history books, and read them with him during the day. However, there is a requirement, he must write a large character every morning, regardless of the content, and hand it over to Sixi for review after writing.

Zhang Dabao disagreed at first, but finally succumbed to Lin Mei's radical method, practicing calligraphy according to the gourd painting scoop in the morning, and listening to Sixi reading in the afternoon.

In the blink of an eye, in Laba, God was merciful, the snow stopped, and the sun stretched out half of its face at noon.

Zhang Dabao grinded his skin and rubbed the itch, and finally wrote most of the article, and secretly watched Xi'er kick the shuttlecock in the courtyard with Xingde, and suddenly felt itchy.

Finally, as soon as it was his turn, the housekeeper came to report the guests at home, and asked Xi'er to quickly put away the shuttlecock and go to boil water and prepare tea.

Zhang Dabao was very unhappy with the sudden visitor, and ran to the front hall to find out.

Seeing a strange military master standing in the hall, about seven feet tall, with a burly figure, and a pair of leather armor on his body, his eyes lit up and he was envious.

Liu Dawu felt someone peeping, and turned his head to see a half-sized man's head poking out of the door, his eyes shining, staring at himself and smirking. I subconsciously touched my face, and looked down to check what I was wearing, but I didn't think there was anything wrong.
