Chapter Eighty-Five: The First Sight of Smoke and Rain
Chen Baiyi's son, Chen Shi, was originally an honest man, and he didn't let Chen Baiyi and his wife worry about it since he was a child. Somehow, since he met Yanyulu, a famous prostitute in Huanxiaolou, Chen Shi's temperament has changed greatly, and he often fights with others for Yanyulu.
Chen Baiyi has been beaten and tied. But Chen Yan seemed to be obsessed, and he changed the law and jumped to the Huanxiao Building. saw the age of the marriage, but no one wanted to marry the girl. Also, whose daughter is not a treasure, marrying a man who is infatuated with a woman in a green house, isn't this a waste of the girl?
Chen Baiyi sighed continuously, pouring glass after glass of wine into his mouth, and the others saw that he was sad, and they didn't dare to tease him anymore.
The busy first day of business finally passed, and the lady shook her sore arm and moved out of the kitchen with difficulty. Yan Yijun is also funny when she looks at Jiao Niang, everyone else wants to be Miss Jiao at home, but she wants to tire herself half to death.
"Are you waiting for me here? Stay away from me, I smell of oily smoke. Jiao Niang pulled off the headscarf, picked up her inky hair and sniffed it, sure enough, there was still a smell of oil smoke, and I had to wash my hair again when I went back today.
At this time, on the branches of the moon, the magnolia flowers outside the courtyard wall are half-open and half-closed, wafting with a dark fragrance. The delicate little girl in the moonlight lowered her head and sniffed the inky hair, and her red and tender little mouth was still muttering something softly.
Yan Yijun was stupid, he was willing to exchange all his things for this little girl. He had never wanted something so obsessed with in his life, but this time, he knew he couldn't let go.
"I'm so tired, I'll have to hire two more people tomorrow. You see there are still so many dishes and chopsticks that have not been washed, and the upstairs and hall still have to be cleaned up. Jiao Niang shook her head, when will I be able to go home!
Yan Yijun smiled dotingly: "You go to rest, I'll help you work." Jiao Niang nodded and went to rest.
Xin Ping and Song Yunhui finished cleaning the second floor and went downstairs to see their sister sitting on a chair, with her head supported all the time, drowsy, and the little girl Fang Yuanyuan was also sitting quietly next to Jiao Niang eating snacks in a small bag.
"Jiao Niang, what about Yijun?" Xin Ping asked.
"Help clean up in the kitchen, right?" Jiao Niang was awakened by Xin Ping's voice and replied listlessly.
Rao is Xin Ping's favorite sister, but when she said this, she stomped her feet angrily: "It's because I usually spoil you too much, you are resting here and asking Yijun a general to work in the kitchen." Isn't it a joke when you spread it? You're so ignorant. ”
"He's going on his own......" the lady muttered in a low voice.
"That's not going to work either!" Xin Ping rarely showed his brother's tough side, and personally ran to the kitchen to push Yan Yijun out.
In the end, because there was nothing to do, Yan Yijun took Lin Ruyi, Xin An, and Jiao Niang home in the car.
When she got home, she wanted to wash her hair, but she really didn't have the strength, so she simply washed up and went to sleep, which led to the next morning, she had to get up and wash her hair.
"Jiao Niang, you wash your hair too diligently. The wind is so cool this morning, why are you blowing the wind here? Quick, go into the room, and get a head wind carefully. Aunt Lin saw Jiao Niang wearing her hair draped in the wind on the porch to dry her hair, and immediately chattered, this little girl's family doesn't know how to take care of herself.
Jiao Niang touched her wet long hair, alas, it was too troublesome for ancient people to wash their hair. She is super irritable with that soap, so nostalgic for the days when she used to use shampoo!
When Jiao Niang's hair was all dry, Xin Ping and they drove to the restaurant in the carriage early, and Jiao Niang could only sigh and walk to the restaurant with Fang Yuanyuan's little attendant.
Jiao Niang's face has long been restored to its original state, so she doesn't wear a cone hat when she goes out, after all, it is not popular for women to cover their faces in this era. Fengyang Street is very lively, small stalls one after another, Fang Yuanyuan didn't take a few steps to be attracted by the candy seller.
Jiao Niang looked at Fang Yuanyuan, who was seriously crowded among the children, obviously just a child, and she had to protect others.
"Buy two." Jiao Niang bought two sugar people and Fang Yuanyuan, one by one, and ate while walking.
"Oops." It may be that the candy eater is too focused, and the girl and the person next to her collide together. When she looked up, she saw that it was a beautiful and charming woman.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The sugar man of the girl actually stuck to the sleeves of other people's clothes.
The woman smiled slightly, and there was an indescribable style flowing in the corners of her eyebrows and eyes: "It's okay, the girl doesn't have to worry about it." ”
"It's a new outfit!" The woman's maid said indignantly, this time the girl was even more embarrassed, and Fei Sai gave the woman a tael of silver as compensation. The woman chuckled and refused to leave with the maid.
"Girl, you are a girl from a good family, don't talk to this kind of woman, lest you be led into a bad temperament." A kind aunt passing by whispered to the girl.
Jiao Niang was a little confused, so she asked, "This kind of woman?" That girl is ......"
"She is a famous prostitute in Huanxiao Building!"
Jiao Niang thought about the name for a long time, but she couldn't remember the specifics, so she shook her head and decided not to think about it anymore.
By the time Jiao Niang and Fang Yuanyuan arrived at the restaurant, Master Li and the others had already done almost all the preparations. Xin Ping had already gone to Yazi's and wanted to hire two more men.
"Miss Dongjia, I have already boiled the pork belly chicken in the pot, and the side dishes have been cut, and the cold dishes to be marinated have been marinated." Master Li obviously came very early, and Jiao Niang always had a feeling of weakness when she saw him cook so many dishes by himself.
"That's good." Jiao Niang pretended to be calm and picked up a radish and began to carve, ashamed to say, yesterday at the beginning of each plate was rested and plated, Jiao Niang also carved flowers to decorate, and finally was really busy, those dishes were directly put on the plate and served.
So Jiao Niang decided to carve more flowers today, so as not to be so embarrassed today. But she herself was not familiar with it, so she carved very slowly, and broke the radish flowers several times.
"I can carve this, I'll help." Song Yunhui used to like to carve gourds, which is a bit similar to carving radish flowers, Jiao Niang just sowed a few times, and Song Yunhui carved fast and well.
The kitchen was in full swing, and Xin Ping also brought back two guys over there, both of whom were young men who lived in Luonan City, and they all looked quite clever, and they were all busy when they arrived at the store.
Jiao Niang summed it up, there are five guys in the store today, plus Aunt Lin and Xin Ping who helped, and the efficiency should be greatly improved.
When the customers poured into the store, Jiao Niang ran to the front and took a look to realize that she was very wrong. Maybe because the food at Xinjia Restaurant is so delicious, yesterday's guests came to visit again with their families and relatives and friends.
Just the guests brought by Jichang Shizi yesterday, three of them brought their families to the private room to eat, and Chen Baiyi also brought his wife and children over to taste the delicious food today. All of a sudden, the hotel was full of people, bustling, and the people in the restaurant were busy in an instant.
