Sister Qiu chuckled and nodded, in fact, even if Lin Zhun didn't take the old Xiucai exam this year, when she turned 13 years old, the two families still had to hold a wedding wine, and Lin Zhun was the icing on the cake for the marriage of the two. Sister Qiu is not ashamed of her engagement with Lin Zhun, she is too familiar with Lin Zhun for many years, and everything seems to be smooth as a matter of course. No matter how many love-hate love stories she had seen in her previous life, Sister Qiu felt that what kind of man was not as trustworthy as her eldest brother, and she was at ease.

She is willing to entrust her life to such a man who can be relied on.

In October, Aunt Chunhua brought a message to Sister Qiu's mother-in-law, Meiqu stopped studying, and heard that she was introduced to a big grandfather's house in Huyang to be a big boss.

"Sister Qiu, her grandmother said that the grandfather was an official, and there were many rich and rich people in the family......" Aunt Chunhua said, her expression full of disbelief.

Jia Shi was also full of confusion, "The big boss of our small workshop and small shop is all his own person, and those Xu Nian people outside are not happy to come in, her uncle ...... The official master is willing to ask him to be a big boss? ”

Aunt Chunhua spread her hands, "This is all said by Sister Qiu and her grandmother, and she desperately said it in front of Dazhun and his father, saying that her third son is capable and has face in front of her friends. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent.

"On the day of the send-off, I heard Dazhun his grandfather say that Aunt Mei was killing chickens and cutting meat, buying wine, seeing off Meiqu, and inviting a lot of people to accompany her, and in the end, Uncle Mei was also drunk, holding Meiqu and crying like something, Meiqu also wiped her tears, patted her chest and swore that she would not come back if she didn't mix up her personal appearance." Aunt Chunhua preached.

Jia sighed, thinking of the former uncle who did not stick to the spring water with ten fingers, was pampered, and spent a lot of money, shook his head and said, "I left my hometown to make a living...... It's so easy to mix! He is still conspicuous in Xiaohe Town, he is a scholar, what kind of place is Huyang, I am afraid that Lao Xiucai is not worth anything. It's better to open a private school in the village, enlighten the children or something, even if the income is a little, it is enough for him to eat, he doesn't have to worry about anything at home, and he can also study books by the way to prepare for the exam. ”

"Mother, you don't know, my uncle can't just talk big, a few years ago, he didn't say anything about us when he passed the exam!" Sister Qiu couldn't help but laugh, even if Meiqu really couldn't get along, when he couldn't live a hard life, he would naturally run back to Xiaohe Town in disgrace.

Jia Shi smiled and put his finger hair on Sister Xiaqiu's head, "Others can say about him, but you can't say about him, no matter how bad he is, he is your uncle and your elder." I was shocked when I heard it, why didn't he read? Your grandmother is like a devil, why is she willing to confess an official grandfather? ”

Speaking of this, Aunt Chunhua pursed her lips, "If he doesn't read it, he won't read it

Fate said that Dazhun was lucky to pass the exam, he has no face or anything, if I want to say that it is all an excuse, I don't think he is like the material of studying! ”

"Auntie, don't be angry, who doesn't know what's going on, he must not miss it." Sister Qiu persuaded with a smile, she really felt that Mei Qu should find a job to support herself, if the Mei family worked together and was willing to provide him with education, only Mei's second uncle and father's family were resolutely unhappy, then he could only think of ways to support himself, in the end, Mei Qu was almost 20 years old, and this age was already an adult support portal in the countryside. Sister Qiu still remembers the stories she read in her previous life, and one of them is about a lonely scholar who chops firewood and sells it for money to get by, and when he goes into the mountains to chop firewood, he doesn't take a book and recite it aloud in the mountains. If Meiqu had the strength to study hard, it was estimated that he would have been promoted in the examination long ago.

"If it's not convenient to check, even if it's inconvenient." Sister Qiu said with a smile, "It's not a very important person, or someone who has committed things in the past, and he can't remember the lesson, he is alone in Huyang, and he is not restrained by my grandparents, I am afraid that he will instigate people to go the wrong way." ”

The person in charge who came to get the water tofu responded with a smile, "Mrs. Mei is polite, just check someone, don't bother our young master, the villain can do it for the lady." "It's just that Sister Qiu talks about her uncle with the general attitude of talking about her own uncompetitive juniors, and she can't help but sigh, Mei Qiushuang is still a little lady who is less than 13 years old, look at the steady style of others, none of the boys in the family can compare.

"Then there's Uncle Lao." Sister Qiu said with a smile, and she didn't say anything polite to the person in charge, if Meiqu honestly looked for a livelihood in Huyang to make a living, then even if she followed the town and made fox friends and dog friends, with his kind of selfish and bad heart, sooner or later it would bring trouble to them.

The manager smiled and shook his hand, and asked again: "Mei Niangzi, when will you go to Huyang again from time to time, the chefs in the water tofu workshop will all miss you, and they will find a few new dishes during this time, waiting for you to taste them." ”

Sister Qiu thought about it, and when she counted Lin Zhun and Zhang Ruoxu's bath, she said: "I will pass on the tenth day of the first month." ”

The person in charge responded, and he thought about going back to explain it, and on the tenth day of the first month, he sent more cars to Jiujiang Town to pick up people.

Although Sister Qiu often goes to Huyang, there are not many opportunities for Xiao Xu, who lives with her, to follow her out, Yan Yuanwai is very strict with Xiao Xu's schoolwork, even when Mu Xiu is off, he often detains him to review Wen Shu at home. And this opportunity is obviously the opportunity to go out before the beginning of spring, otherwise it will be cold when you wait for the day, and going out is not sightseeing, but freezing.

Xiao Xu first scolded Jia and Sister Qiu for a long time, and asked for the consent of the two, asking Jia and Sister Qiu to talk to Yan Yuanwai to take him out for a walk. Yan Yuanwai had a clear mind in his heart, and he also felt that the small order of detention was a little tight during this time, and when he saw that Jia Shi and Sister Qiu had all opened their mouths, he agreed with the boat.

Therefore, among the people who went to Huyang that day, in addition to Lin Zhun and Zhang Ruoxu, there was another small preface and a small oil bottle.

In October, Huyang has been

However, it began to get cold, but the wharf of the canal was still lively, and the workers carrying the goods from the boats were even shirtless, and their tanned faces were still dripping with sweat and steam.

Sister Qiu brought hundreds of pounds to the Chiba water tofu that she made when she was groping at home for six months, but fortunately, it is winter now, and the water tofu will not spoil if it is put for two days.

After introducing several methods of Chiba water tofu to the chef of the water tofu workshop, Sister Qiu asked the chef to make two dishes by herself to try them. When the dish was made, several people who had tasted it were all amazed, and Qi Shushu said that he didn't expect this kind of wonderful taste of water tofu.

"I have one more thing here." Sister Qiu said with a smile, unfolding the paper in her hand, on which is a picture she drew with a brush, which is a dry pot often used in the catering industry in the 21st century, "Lighting a fire in this seat can not only make the dish more fragrant, but also keep warm, which is very suitable for winter eating." ”

This area of Huyang is very cold in winter, the dishes are mostly big river fish and big meat, it doesn't take long to cool down, the meat oil condenses into lumps, and it makes people lose their appetite when they look at it.

"This thing is good!" Immediately, the chef called out happily.

Sister Qiu smiled and continued: "This is just one of my thoughts, the important question is what to use in the seat to burn the fire, I have tried to use small carbon blocks at home, but unfortunately the smoke is a little big, and the eyes of the smoker are not very comfortable." ”

The chef of the water tofu shop is a middle-aged fat man in his 30s, and after hearing Sister Qiu's words, he said with a smile: "What kind of carbon block does Mei Niangzi use?" Have you ever used silver wire carbon, this kind of carbon block will not smoke when burned, why don't we try it with silver wire carbon later. ”

Wang Ming nodded on the side, his eyes were a little shining, he was clear that if this kind of dry pot was promoted, the water tofu workshop was close to the dock, and a lot of decent people were all in the water tofu workshop to set up a banquet to entertain guests, and it was inevitable to eat wine and talk about ideas during the banquet. There is a dry pot, and this problem is easily solved, which is nothing more than the problem of adding two more carbons.

"It's okay, it's not too expensive." Wang Ming said steadily, "Ten catties of silver wire carbon with a little poor quality is only one or two silver coins, which is enough to use hundreds of ...... What the hell is this? ”

One or two silver coins are allocated to 100 dishes, and the cost is nothing more than ten cents more for each dish.

Sister Qiu listened to the calm appearance and the inside of the gloomy tongue, the Zhuang family can have a three or four taels of silver a year, even if it is a rich family, and the income of the rich family a year can only buy thirty or forty catties of silver silk carbon, in Wang Ming's eyes, one or two silver coins and ten catties of silver silk carbon is only not expensive. It seems that she has been in the countryside for a long time, and after earning a little money, she has become a rich man.

After Wang Ming got the drawings, he immediately looked for a craftsman to draw a new one more accurately, which is more perfect than the example, and asked the master to create 100 as soon as possible, not only for the water tofu workshop, but also for the Liufang Building.

Wait for Wang Ming to finish his work

It was still early for lunch, so I invited Sister Qiu and a few people to go to the private room for tea.

"Mrs. Mei, the Mei Canal you asked us to check a few days ago has now come to fruition." Wang Ming said with a smile, "My people have observed him for a few days, and I have heard about several people, Meiqu is still honest in Huyang, and he seems to know people very well when he is a guy in a small grain and oil store, but he doesn't have to worry about what trouble he has." ”

"As a buddy?" Sister Qiu couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth, Mao's is a big boss for the eldest grandfather in Huyang! From the big boss to the little guy, this gap is a bit big.

Wang Ming nodded, "It's a man, weigh the noodles and oil the guests." ”

At this time, there was a boss knocking on the door and coming in, signaling Wang Ming to come out, Wang Ming smiled apologetically at Sister Qiu and said: "I lost my company first, I heard that Brother Lin Xian and Brother Zhang Xian are both in high school now, I will be the east at noon today, congratulations to the two of you!" After speaking, he bowed his hands and went out with a smile.

Sister Qiu smiled and watched Wang Ming go out, and when she saw Wang Ming this time, he was more sleek than before, and he was also very respectful to Zhang Ruoxu and Lin Zhun.

After Wang Ming left, the rest was Sister Qiu's own person, Zhang Ruoxu shook his head, I don't know whether he should laugh or how, "He is an ordinary person, what can he do, he is inconvenient to write, and he is not stupid when he does business, how can he be a big boss as soon as he comes?" At first, none of us believed it! ”

Lin Zhun sighed, he was thinking about the day after the Qingming Festival the year before last, Meiqu thought that it was raining and the road was not easy to walk, and hired a soft sedan chair to come back.

After a while, Wang Ming came in and brought an old acquaintance, Zhu Pingshan.

After Zhu Pingshan passed the examination and Lao Xiu went to Huyang to study, Sister Qiu never saw him again, thinking about what Wang Ming said to her in private last time, Sister Qiu was a little embarrassed at this time.

Zhu Pingshan is much taller, wearing a well-fitting green cotton robe and a square scarf, which has an elegant and quiet temperament.

"Zhou Lao Xiucai, do you all know each other?" Wang Ming said with a smile, "I just heard about the title of Brother Lin Xian and Brother Zhang Xian's gold list, and I specially came in to congratulate the two of you." ”
