Almost without hesitation, Zhou Xiaoshu ran home in a few steps, pushed open the door, and found that his parents were there, and the two were sitting around the table, munching on a roast chicken, their hands were full of oil, and their mouths were constantly agitating.

Xunsheng looked at the door, and saw that it was Zhou Xiaoshu, Zhou's mother pouted: "You still know that you are back, where have you been wild these days?" ”

Zhou Xiaoshu didn't answer, his eyes swept over the table, in addition to roast chicken, there were several other cakes and fruits to eat, as well as a pot of wine, and Zhou's father was pouring himself a drink.

"You took my money?" Zhou Xiaoshu asked straight to the point, he was afraid that his parents would find out if he put the money at home, so he buried it under the tree, but he didn't expect to ask them to dig it up.

Father Zhou's face turned cold first: "Even if you have money, why didn't you take it out earlier, and watch me and your mother eat bran at home." You yourself are out with money, it's really unfilial, how did I raise such a son as you. ”

Although Zhou Xiaoshu already knew the face of his father, he still felt cold when he heard this, this is all the belongings he has saved in the past few years, except for one time when Xiaocao was sick, he secretly took out some money to catch medicine for her, and he didn't spend half a cent.

"Okay", Zhou's mother sucked her fingers full of oil flowers, and said to Zhou Xiaoshu: "There are still sweet potatoes burning in the stove, you can go and see if it's okay." ”

Zhou Xiaoshu didn't move: "What about the rest of the money?" ”

"What, you still want to go back?" Father Zhou instantly raised his voice.

"That's my money!" Zhou Xiaoshu also shouted.

"Lao Tzu gave birth to you and raised you, and if you make money, you should spend it on Lao Tzu. I haven't settled the account with you for the money I kept privately, and you dare to go back? ”

"I, my money, my money!" Zhou Xiaoshu gritted his teeth and walked in step by step.

Father Zhou raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, Xu was the alcohol that gave him courage, put down the wine glass and stood up, and a slap was swung into Zhou Xiaoshu's face: "If you dare to call Lao Tzu again, Lao Tzu can't kill you!" ”

"Oh, why are you still moving?" Zhou's mother complained: "Don't quarrel with your father, hurry up and go to the kitchen to see if the sweet potatoes are ripe." ”

Zhou Xiaoshu was on top of half of his hot cheeks, listening to his mother's complaints, and a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to his heart, chilling his heart.

In the end, he didn't get his money back.

When I came back, Liuli was still busy in the courtyard, in order to avoid the day of selling fruit dan peel, Liuli and Feihongju shopkeeper agreed to go to cook every month on the first day of the new year, which is tomorrow.

Now I was preparing to bring something tomorrow, and when I saw Zhou Xiaoshu coming back from outside, I was just about to say hello, when I saw Zhou Xiaoshu's left cheek red, which seemed to be a slap print: "What's wrong with your face?" ”

Zhou Xiaoshu turned his face uncomfortably: "It's okay." ”

Liuli put down the things in his hand and stepped forward to take a closer look: "Who was beaten?" Where have you been? ”

Zhou Xiaocao also ran over when he heard this: "Did they beat it?" ”

"They? Who? Your father? Ruri guessed almost immediately.

Zhou Xiaoshu hummed softly, and said everything just now: "I estimate that the money was hidden by them, or it won't come back." ”

After hearing this, Liuli didn't know what to say, and wanted to scold, but she couldn't find the right words, she just felt that saying nothing was enough to describe her anger and absurdity at the moment.

She took a deep breath and said to Zhou Xiaocao first: "Xiaocao, go get a handkerchief for your brother to cover his face." ”

Zhou Xiaocao left in response, Liuli looked at Zhou Xiaoshu, and couldn't help but ask softly, "What are you going to do in the future?" ”

"I don't know." Zhou Xiaoshu looked into the distance with empty eyes, and said softly and helplessly.

Liuli sighed, this dynasty rules the world with "filial piety", and advocates "filial piety" very much, and even in the first emperor, there were people who were recommended to the court as officials because of filial piety, Zhou Xiaocao had signed a deed and was sold, and the Zhou family's parents were disconnected, but Zhou Xiaoshu was not successful, no matter how strange his parents were, he would accept and be "filial".

"Let's take it one step at a time." Liuli Dao, she can't openly oppose the ancient law, and neither can Zhou Xiaoshu.

"By the way, I plan to build two more wings, which will be used exclusively for fruit pill peel, and when the time comes, I will also set aside a separate room for you and Xiaocao, so let's live here first."

Zhou Xiaoshu regained his spirits: "Thank you Erniang, why don't you leave the matter of starting the house to me." ”

"It's fine." Before, the walls of the convent at home were also in charge of Amber, but now Amber has to go to school every day, and Liuli is busy with business, so he agreed.

Ruri wanted to change the topic, so she pulled the topic to the house.

She plans to build two rooms in the east and one in the west, and build a house for the "Guodanpi" workshop. ”

The money should be enough, the business of Guodanpi is booming, plus the income sent by Feihongju and the foot shop, Liuli can have almost seventy or eighty cars of income per month, and if you throw away the expenses of buying raw materials and daily expenses, you can leave more than fifty taels per month, and now the money in your hand is enough to buy a house in the town, and it is easy to start a few wings.

With things to consider, Zhou Xiaoshu won't always think about things at home: "Erniang, don't worry, just leave this matter to me, and I will definitely be able to do it." ”

The next day, Liuli got up early in the morning and came to Feihongju.

The shopkeeper Xie Chunzheng was looking forward to her coming, and when he saw someone coming, he was serving tea and water, and he asked if he had breakfast.

"I've used it at home," Ruri said, "and everything is ready?" ”

"It's been prepared early, and the best pork belly is selected according to previous examples," Xie Chun smiled and said, "Erniang, let's go to the kitchen?" ”

"Let's go." Ruri didn't say much long-winded, and went to the kitchen and busied.

The ingredients are handled first, and there are more than a dozen small stoves lined up in the kitchen, which can make Dongpo meat at the same time. In the past, the master who was in charge of cooking was now working for Liuli.

Before noon, the guests of Feihongju came one after another, and the gourmets all knew that the first day of the new month was the day when Song Erniang personally came to Feihongju to cook Dongpo meat.

Liuli also lived up to expectations, as soon as noon arrived, more than a dozen braised pork on the stove was cooked at the same time, and as soon as the dishes were gone, the lobby was more lively.

Xie Chun couldn't close his mouth, on the day when Liuli came every month, the income in his store was twice as much as usual, although the customers came for Dongpo meat, it was impossible not to order other meals.

In particular, they have developed several kinds of clear side dishes for Dongpo meat, which are most suitable for matching with Dongpo meat, and they are also selling very hot.

Every time Xie Chun saw the scene of the first day of the new year, he had to regret why he didn't ask for more than a few days when he signed the contract at that time, whether it was three or two days a month, but he only got one day, which was really a mistake.

It's not that he hasn't discussed with Liuli, he came a few more days a month, but he was rejected, Xie Chun still remembered Liuli's original words.

"It's just that it's rare to come, if I come every day, it won't have such a good effect."

Xie Chun was noncommittal, but he couldn't convince Liuli, so he had to offer Liuli every time like an immortal, hoping that she could "find out with her conscience" and come for a few more days.

Speaking of which, isn't Erniang a fairy, an immortal who beckons wealth to him.

The Fortune Fairy is busy in the back kitchen at the moment, although the shopkeeper prepared a sumptuous meal for her at noon, Liuli didn't have much time to eat, and she was busy, and finally put the last batch of braised pork on the stove, so she could breathe.

"Erniang has worked hard, so there will be no more today."

"Nope."

"Upstairs there is a private room for Erniang, let's go and have some food."

Liuli followed Xie Chun's guidance and walked upstairs, but inadvertently, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure at a table in the corner downstairs.

"Who are those two?"

Xie Chun looked down, and he recognized one of them: "That is Wang San in the west of the city, a splashy skin, I don't know how to get the money, but I can afford to eat my Feihongju." ”

"Do you know where he lives?" Ruri then asked.

"I probably live in Shilipo in the west of the city, but Erniang has something?"

"It's fine." Liuli said lightly, but the hand hidden under the sleeve was clutched tightly.

After such a few days, I actually let myself meet, these two people, one tall and one short, were the bandits who intercepted Liuli that day and forced Guodanpi Fangzi to ask.
