It wasn't until she boarded the painting boat that she saw the famous Chu Chu when she returned to the spring, she stood on the deck to greet her, it looked like she was in her twentieth year, people were like her name, the willow leaf-like eyebrows and eyes were very elegant and quiet, and she smiled to reveal her beautiful complexion, she first greeted Lan Ting respectfully, but stepped forward to take the arm of Chungui, her voice was soft, and it sounded like gurgling water, but the flowing water still seemed to be under the sun, with a warm touch.

"Gu Niangzi, please take a seat."

One sentence succeeded in shocking Chungui's eyes.

She hasn't spoken yet, why is she exposed?

"The concubine is a mysterious woman from her penmanship." Chu Chu smiled more and more beautifully.

Now that the disguise has been dismantled, Chungui no longer pretends, and sighs: "It's not as good as the girl's pen power." Then she realized that she could be on the painting boat this time, and I was afraid that it was because of the peculiarity of being a woman but being able to enter the Qinglou to play, she was a little weak-hearted: "I can't win this time." ”

Chu Chu's gentle eyes looked at this side even more, and his eyes seemed to be like a crescent moon when he smiled: "If you are someone else, you may not be able to see at a glance that the lady's pen and book are not out of the hands of a man, and even if the concubine knows through it, the original boudoir handwriting may not necessarily be lost to the pen and ink of the eyebrows, and the lady not only estimates the mystery, but should make the first seven must indeed be the best of all the answers today, the world writes rouge, mostly compared with peach cherries, and the use is nothing more than women's makeup, but the lady can be ingenious, write that delicate maid because she is unwilling to be distracted, and she is narrow for a while, Quietly stained the placket of the main robe with rouge, and sure enough, it attracted the harem situation of the housemother's 'envy', and it was natural to win. ”

These unashamed words, but they also sincerely complimented Chungui's literary brilliance, not only did Chungui smile when he heard it, but even Lan Ting curled the corners of his lips: "Today's trip to the Drunken Life Pavilion is worth it, and Huihui is fortunate to have another confidant." ”

In just a few words, he was sure that Chungui and Chu Chu would inevitably speculate.

"Who is this?" Chu Chu still smiled and looked at the spring return.

"It's my grandson, we are from the capital, and my husband's surname is Zhao." Spring Returns.

Chu Chu inevitably felt a little surprised, it was rare for a vulgar woman at this time to be able to openly enter and leave the Qinglou and even get close to a woman in the dust, not to mention that such behavior was because her husband was covering up and conniving, before she returned from spring, she even guessed that today's "Huanke" was either with her identity, accompanied by a patron to visit Qinhuai for ten miles, and only responded to the question on a whim; Either she is the maid of a noble and wealthy family, and she is the substitute for the head of the family.

However, Chu Chu didn't look at the result of asking such a question, but his expression was suddenly a little melancholy: "I thought it would be rare to see such a free and uninhibited fairy couple in this life." ”

"What do you say, girl?" Chungui said curiously.

Chu Chu poured wine for the guests while talking about the past.

It turned out that she had a sister in the wind and dust scene, who lived in the Youmenglou not far from the Zuisheng Pavilion, surnamed Liang Fang, whose name was Wan Mei, who was good at poetry and writing, and later met a couple after being introduced. That Langjun is the son of an official family, and he married his uncle's cousin as his wife, because the two are childhood sweethearts, and it is Qin Se harmony after marriage. Lang Jun has never been out of office, and he lives with his wife in a friend's house, and he often goes in and out to play in Qinhuai for ten miles.

"The lady also used to dress up as a man, with her husband painting the boat to swim the river, because of the acquaintance of Wan Mei, he often invited Wan Mei to the place where he lived to drink, a back and forth two people feel more speculative, there is a difficult to give up the feelings, so the lady has a heart, want to accept Wan Mei home, Wan Mei knows

Dao Niangzi is sincere, and Na Langjun is indeed a lover, she is willing in her heart, she persuaded her family's aunt, and she is waiting to redeem herself. ”

Chu Chu sighed again when he said this: "How do you know that there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, a wealthy family suddenly took a fancy to Wan Mei again, and forced him to buy Wan Mei as a concubine, and since then, I have never seen Wan Mei and that couple." But I heard afterwards that the lady was depressed because of this incident, and then there were other accidents in the family...... died early, and the only son born to the lady died soon after, and her husband was so sad that he completely cut off his ambition to enter the office, wandering around, and now I don't know what to do. ”

was originally a fairy couple, but life and death were separated, and apart from that couple, Chu Chu had never seen an official family who could indulge his wife to go out and wander freely.

She raised her glass: "The concubine only wishes the two of you to grow old together." ”

Chun Gui took a sip of the wine prepared by Chu Chu on the story of others, but felt that the sweet and mellow entanglement between his lips and teeth, this wine was not inferior to the wine made by Lan Ting himself, and asked: "This is the peach blossom wine brewed by the girl?" ”

"The lady actually heard about this?" Chu Chu also got out of his melancholy, and smiled as gently as water.

It is a spring cloth dish, and it is courteous to taste.

The dishes prepared on today's painting boat were not originally big fish, big meat, mountains and seafood, they were all small dishes suitable for wine, but they were indeed delicate and delicious, and even Deputy Zhao, who had an extremely picky tongue, couldn't help but ask how these side dishes were made with wine.

Chu Chu smiled again: "If the two of you don't give up, why don't you let the concubine invite the cook to drink and talk together?" ”

The proposal was unanimously approved by the husband and wife.

Not long after, a man entered the cabin, Chungui saw that although he was indeed contaminated with oil smoke, but he didn't look like a cook at all, what made Chungui even more surprised was that Chu Chu actually stepped forward and took the man's arm, his attitude was very intimate, and the man also showed a sincere smile, and his ears were suddenly dyed with a thin red.

"The concubine has saved enough money to redeem herself, and she also said to her aunt that she will release the concubine after three months, and this is the concubine's future husband." A generous recommendation.

Chun Gui then learned that although Chu Chu still looked like he was still in his twenties, he was already nearly thirty years old, and her fiancé Chen Shi was indeed a blister cook, who was not originally hired by the Drunken Life Restaurant, but after getting acquainted with Chu Chu, he volunteered to help the cook in the painting boat, the two of them have known each other for six years, and they have already made a private decision for life, and the two of them worked together to finally save the lot of money for redemption, and they will be able to live and live together after only three months.

However, Chen Shi obviously has never come forward to entertain "happy guests", the whole person seems to be bound by an invisible rope, until Lan Ting chatted with him about the topic of blistering food that he was a little cramped, and drank the peach blossom wine a little more, when he heard that the pepper that was originally only for viewing can also be used for seasoning, he couldn't help but be amazed, if it weren't for the fact that there was no pepper on this painting boat right now, he couldn't help but verify it immediately, so he finally took the initiative to raise a glass to Lan Ting, and asked: "I don't know where Lang Jun is high?" Lang Jun's cooking skills are so extraordinary, if he opens a restaurant by himself, he must also be able to support his family, don't hide it from Lang Jun, he has the idea to set up his own door in the morning, but it's just ...... The savings for many years were first used to redeem Chu Chu's life, and now the capital is still a little short...... It's a big difference, if Lang Jun is interested, we can partner to open a small restaurant first. ”

Chen Shi saw the stunned appearance of the guest, and hurriedly guaranteed: "Lang Jun may think that the restaurant is not as good as the restaurant."

Glossy? This is not a long-term solution, as far as Lang Jun and his ability are concerned, it will only take one year at most, and we will be able to open a restaurant in Jinling City! ”

Chu Chu stroked his forehead: As a fiancé, he really has no eyesight at all, looking at the clothing and demeanor of these two guests and a couple, where do you need to do business to make a living?

She smiled apologetically at Lan Ting, elbowing next to Chen Shi's elbow: "That's not what people mean." ”

How do you know that Chen Shi misunderstood, raised his slap and patted his head: "Yes, the little brother looks still young, and he must think that it is very risky to resign from the owner and stand on his own, and he is worried that he will lose his capital and food and clothing, so you don't have to worry, I listened to the little brother's insights on cooking just now, and I know that the little brother's ability must not be under me, as long as the two of us work together and work hard for a year, we can guarantee a foothold in the restaurant industry in Jinling City." ”

Chungui looked at Lan Ting, who was inexplicably inspired by Brother Chen's entrepreneurial ambition, and couldn't help laughing.

Chu Chu felt even more funny, and relieved the guest with a little helplessness: "This guest is a Confucian at first glance, when he comes to Jiangnan to travel, don't be foolish." ”

"So the little brother is also good at poetry and articles?" Chen Shi, who came to his senses, was full of admiration: "In this way, the little brother alone knows the advantages of the two of them, and he will definitely not worry about his livelihood in the future." ”

Lanting: ......

Chun Gui's hand shook, and the picture of Lan Ting "starting a business" in the Qinglou immediately appeared in his mind, and he silently tightened his lower abdomen.

But what kind of mind is Vice Envoy Zhao? Naturally, he would not be annoyed and angry by Chen Shi's words, and he recovered his composure in an instant, raised his lamp to return a glass of wine to Chen Shi, and said with a slight smile: "Don't hide it from Brother Chen, the younger brother and the clumsy Jing do yearn to open a restaurant in the market, relying on their skills and preferences to live, but they are helpless, and now they can't be so comfortable." However, there is a lot of spare money in hand, if Brother Chen does not give up, the younger brother is willing to inject money into Brother Chen to open a restaurant, and should lay the foundation for the future of the free day. ”

Chen Shi couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, rubbing his hands and not knowing what to say, but Chu Chu was surprised, and hurriedly excused himself: "Zhao Langjun's kindness, the concubine body and Chen Lang's heart, but it's not ......."

Before she finished speaking, she was held by Chungui: "Although I and the lady are the first time to meet, but the conversation is very happy, the grandson and Brother Chen have the same preferences can be called old at first sight, and as Brother Chen said, with Brother Chen's cooking skills, as long as the restaurant is opened to guarantee that it will not lose money, although we inject capital, but we don't have to worry about business at all, it is a big advantage, why should the lady not go?" ”

Lan Ting also smiled and said: "That's right, don't hide it from the two, although the younger brother grew up in the capital, his ancestral home is in Jinling, and he is not a foreigner, so easily he can create an industry in his ancestral hometown, in the final analysis, he still relies on the two to provide convenience." ”

This accidental visit became the owner of a restaurant tavern in Jinling City in the future, and the spring return felt full of fun, and then I listened to Chen Shi as if he had completely broken free from the invisible shackles, and talked about the advantages and shortcomings of the restaurants in Jinling City, as well as his various ideas for starting a business, what area of shop to rent, how to decorate the restaurant, and all kinds of dishes......

It seems that Chen Shi is not only outstanding in cooking, but also has a lot of insights into the way of management, not to mention that there is such a virtuous assistant as Chu Chu by his side, and they will definitely only make money and not lose money this time.

This night tour of ten miles Qinhuai is worth it.
