() "The restaurant will open soon, I can't be here for a long time, Ye shopkeeper is not good at running a restaurant, naturally Meizi is the big shopkeeper, in this way, the business here naturally has to be entrusted to others, you do it well, not who else can you do, do you want her to give birth to three heads and six arms?" Song Jiu said half-leaning against the wall.

"This is also the truth, I originally planned to let Xiao Qi come, if Tianyi is willing to help, it would be better." Du Mei nodded in agreement.

Xiao Qi has been used to fighting and killing since she was a child, except for practicing martial arts, she has little patience for anything else, if Du Mei hands over the snack stall to her, she will naturally do her best to do her best, but if Du Mei has a second better candidate, she will not be restrained by Xiao Qi's nature, and she will not let her see the shop. Now it seems that Tianyi, who is a helper in the kitchen, is obviously more suitable than Xiao Qi.

"That'...... Then I sell snacks in the morning and help in the restaurant in the afternoon. Sun Tianyi was praised by the two of them, his face was almost burning, and he was busy.

"Then it's up to you, your monthly silver will be opened as a third-class cook from the next month." Song Jiu didn't treat him badly, and directly raised his salary.

"Thank you, owner! I'm sure I'll do a good job! Sun Tianyi bowed again and again and thanked him.

Working in the kitchen, if you want to boil from a kitchen to a third-class cook, it is not possible to do it without three or five years, this is an unwritten rule, Sun Tianyi has only come to the apprenticeship for more than a year, although the selection of vegetables, washing dishes, and side dishes are very good, and when he is not busy in the kitchen, he can also help fry some simple dishes, but he can't break the rules in vain.

"In that case, you can start doing it today, Meizi and I have something to discuss, so let's go first." Song Jiu turned around and came out.

Du Mei took off her apron, explained a few words to Sun Tianyi, and went out to follow.

"What's the matter, you went to the deli yesterday to look for me?" After walking for a while, Du Mei couldn't help but ask.

"I want to ask you if the date is set, and second, my grandfather said, we have just arrived in Jiangling City, and when the business opens, we must always invite some people with heads and faces, and if there is anything in the future, we can take care of it." Song Jiu turned his head to look at her and said with an inquiring expression.

"The opening date is set in Xiaoman, as for who to invite, let's discuss it with Ye Dan, now that Shen County Ling has been transferred to Ningzhou Zhizhou, he is naturally invited to others, and we are not familiar with others." Du Mei frowned slightly.

"I didn't expect Shen County Ling to be promoted so quickly! Under his rule, what do we have to worry about in the future? Hearing this, a big smile bloomed on Song Jiu's face.

Du Mei and Song Jiu returned to the restaurant, only to see Ye Dan directing the guys of the winery to move a jar of Yutang spring wine into the cellar and tidy it up.

"Ziwei Lu didn't send it?" Du Mei stepped forward to look at it and asked.

"This kind of wine has not been produced in the winery recently, you want a large amount, and you want to make it specially." A steward of the winery came up and said.

"You can also order wine in the winery?" Du Mei asked with some confusion.

"As long as we've brewed it, it's basically okay, what does the shopkeeper want to order?" The steward is the best at observing words and feelings, and from Song Jiu and Ye Dan's attitudes towards Du Mei, he deduced that the woman in front of him was a person who could call the shots.

"Do you do sour plum drinks and grape brewing in your winery?" Dume asked.

"The sour plum drink is about to be made, but it will not be drunk until midsummer, and the grape wine will not be brewed until autumn." The steward doesn't lie to anyone, but says it honestly.

"So, I'll order twenty jars of each of them, and when the season comes, you will send them." Du Mei nodded. In the countryside, every family will brew a little when it comes to the solar term, and what the steward said is not bad.

The steward took the money and the deposit and went away happily. The three of them returned to the antechamber and sat down, pondering the list of treats.

Time passed quickly in the expectation of the Du Ying sisters, and at noon on this day, Zhong Yu's two carriages sent the Xu family to the Jiangling City delicatessen.

Du Ying prepared lunch early, because she got up early and the road was bumpy, several people simply ate and took a nap.

It will open tomorrow, and Du Mei has too many things to prepare, but she is still ready to spend the afternoon shopping with her mother and younger siblings, so at the end of the day, she said to Song Jiu and went back.

Children are fun-loving, don't say that Xiao Song has never been far away, even Du Tao Du Gui is also the first to come out, the two sisters slept enough, and ran to the river to watch the boats on the dock, pointing excitedly.

When Du Mei came back, Zhong Yu was talking with Xu, and when she came back, the family simply cleaned up, took Xiao Qi, and still went out in Zhong Yu's carriage.

Walking from the wharf to the royal street, the street is becoming more and more prosperous, and the three small ones are only thinking that their two eyes are not enough, so they half-lift the curtain of the car, huddle together, and quietly look around.

The shops on both sides are lined up one after another, the eaves and pavilions echo each other, the wine flags and shop signs are even more dense, flying with the wind, the bustling flow of people, like the fish under the peach blossom spring, crowded and lively, there are the sons who are beautifully dressed with small servants, there are also women dressed in hairpin rings and following the maids, and there are some hawkers and men who are in a hurry.

The carriage was getting slower and slower, Zhong Yu had to hold the reins and drive the carriage to a secluded place in an alley.

Du Mei took a few small ones to pick up food in the sweet shop, and Zhong Yu and Xu stood outside waiting for them.

"Sister, there is a gold, silver and jade shop in front, let's go in and take a look." Zhong Yu looked at the old plaque of Qibao Zhai next door and said.

"Forget it, we don't have anything to buy." Xu glanced inside, it was still the furnishings of more than ten years ago, she was timid about her hometown, and she didn't want to or dare to enter.

"When the plum restaurant opened, I didn't have anything to prepare, I wanted to buy her a piece of jewelry as a congratulatory gift, you can help me choose." Zhong Yu said sincerely.

"I see that the decoration here is exquisite, things must not be cheap, you are her uncle, why do you need to give such a big gift." Xu persuaded with some disapproval.

"Meizi is in the end, she is a big girl, and she is a big shopkeeper here, if she doesn't have one or two decent jewelry, I'm afraid of being looked down upon by those snobs, I'm her maternal uncle, and I'm not bad for money, I should always give her this face." What Zhong Yu said is not unreasonable.

"Alright then, let's go in and see." Xu lowered his head, powerless to refute.

After a while, Sister Du Mei walked out with a sugar gourd in her hand and giggled. She also held a few oiled paper bags in her other hand, which were nothing more than some dried tofu and twist flowers.

"Mother, Uncle Zhong Yu, you can also taste it!" Du Mei handed them a packet of spiced dried beans.

"Where are the adults greedy for these, you can eat by yourself, Komatsu don't eat more!" Xu said with a smile, she took out her handkerchief and wiped the sugar juice from Xiao Song's mouth.

"Let's walk around here." Zhong Yu took the lead

Entering Qibao Zhai, Du Mei didn't look at what place it was, and stepped in with a few small ones.

"What do you want to see?" A thin middle-aged man, probably the shopkeeper, greeted him with a smile on his face.

When he saw Zhong Yu behind him, a group of children eating sugar gourds dragged in, and finally~ a woman dressed in ordinary clothes came in. In his mind, he classified them as people who only look at them and don't buy them, but the expression on his face did not change.

"Grab some jewelry and take a look." Zhong Yu sat on the chair with his robe on, and Xu sat beside him with Xiao Song in his arms.

"Wait a minute, here it is." The shopkeeper beckoned to the guy at the counter.

Du Mei had seen some peerless objects in Luomei Xuan, and she was not surprised by this place, but the three Xiao and Xiao Qi had never seen such a gorgeous and exquisite thing, and they couldn't help but look across the counter.

After a short time, a man sent out a tray, which contained some gold, silver and jade, but these were shoddy hairpin rings and poor jade bracelets.

"It seems that the shopkeeper doesn't want to do business." Zhong Yu glanced at it and sneered.

"I'm dead, how can I take these out, and treat the guests slowly!" The shopkeeper scolded, and then smiled at Zhong Yu, "Guys are not sensible, don't mind the guest officer." ”

"Speaking of which, Qibao Zhai is also an old shop, when is it used to judging people by their appearance!" Zhong Yu didn't raise his eyelids, and said coldly.

"I'll take it for you myself." The shopkeeper couldn't figure out Zhong Yu's identity, seeing that he had a good temperament, and he was afraid that he was an important person, the most important thing in Jiangling City was the rich, so he put away the thoughts in his heart and hurriedly went to the back hall in person.

Du Mei led her sister who had seen the strange thing to sit aside, and compared to the jewelry that could not be eaten and was not delicious, those snacks wrapped in oil paper were more attractive to them.

The shopkeeper quickly brought another tray, which contained exquisite hairpin rings, a complete set of treasure-inlaid emerald heads, and all kinds of jade jewelry.

"Sister, what do you think is good?" Zhong Yu glanced at the objects in the tray and pushed them in front of Xu.

As soon as these words came out, the shopkeeper was stunned, he thought this was a family, but he didn't expect it to be a sister and brother, he rolled up his sleeves to wipe his sweat, thanks to himself who didn't call the wrong person!

"Uncle wants to buy jewelry?" Only then did Du Mei realize that Zhong Yu was not here to hang out, but was going to buy things seriously.

The shopkeeper standing on the side seemed to hear a little eyebrows again, and secretly wondered, this is the sister in distress with her children to join the rich uncle? His gaze looked at a few children around for snacks, and he showed disdain.

"Yes, uncle doesn't know what to give you as a gift, so it's better for you to pick one yourself." Zhong Yu beckoned.

"Forget it, don't spend money in vain, I don't need this on weekdays." Du Mei smiled and waved his hand.

"The mind of the elders, you can take it, how can there be so many words!" Xu was afraid of Du Meiqiang, so Zhong Yu couldn't get off the stage in front of outsiders, and said in a deep voice.

"Oh." When Du Mei saw that her mother was talking, she had to step forward.

"Which one do you want?" Zhong Yu pulled those gold, silver and jade objects, he didn't understand much, he only felt that they were gorgeous and dazzling.

"Mother's ......" Du Mei not only didn't understand these, let alone liked them, she picked up a few to see, she had no choice, so she had to turn to her mother for help.

"I think this pendant is a perfect match for your pomegranate dress." Xu couldn't, so he had to reach into the tray and pick up the one he liked.
