The idea of the summer is not unreasonable, Shinong industry and commerce, since ancient times, merchants are the last, generally some status of people, if there is a shop, most of them are remembered in the body of the right-hand man around him, and he never touches his hands.

Liuli naturally doesn't care about these, and makes money with her own skills, what's wrong?

However, in the harem, thinking of the queen mother who ignored her every time she asked for peace, Liuli still confessed: "There are people outside the palace who take care of it, and a few of you know about it, so don't make a big deal about it." ”

"Slaves and maids understand." The summer of the peach and the others should all be.

They don't know about the summer, but the peach and the elegance know that in addition to the restaurant, their own mother is also the real owner of the Rouge Pavilion.

Although I can't say it, I still can't stop the worship in the heart of the peach: "Niangniang is amazing!" ”

It's really lipstick and food, both of which are the two things that the little girl likes in her heart, they are all made out by her own mother, how can she not admire and love, and put words like Niangniang is amazing and Niangniang is so good all day long.

Unexpectedly gained a brain-dead powder, Liuli was also quite helpless, but if this brain-dead fan knew that Liuli's ambition was not just to open a few shops in Beijing, but to let restaurants and rouge pavilions open all over the country, I don't know how to feel.

At present, the foot shop has been quite large-scale in Dazhou, and Liuli plans to rely on these foot shops to gradually open restaurants and rouge pavilions.

However, these are all her plans for the time being, and all actions will have to wait for Zhou Xiaoshu to come back.

Outside the palace, Pearl and Shi Yong's tofu shop finally opened, and the reason why it has been delayed until now is that it takes a certain amount of time to make soy sauce and bean curd.

Not to mention that as soon as a batch was made, Xie Chun was asked to buy it out first.

If the rouge pavilion and restaurants in Liuli are more high-end routes, focusing on a higher level of enjoyment, the tofu workshop is to take the civilian route, every commodity is not expensive, but it can bring unexpected results.

Therefore, there is no shortage of business in the tofu factory, and it is more deeply rooted in the hearts of ordinary people.

In May, the tofu shop has been open for more than a month, and it has become a household name, and even the poorest people at the bottom can occasionally buy a bottle of soy sauce or a few pieces of bean curd.

At the door of the backyard of a small restaurant at the west end of Luoshi Street, a woman dressed in coarse linen clothes was carrying a large basket, waiting for the guys here to take today's kitchen waste.

It's mainly some vegetable leaves, and when you're lucky, there will be one or two pieces of meat, because it's rotten or not too fresh, it's all not needed by the restaurant. Some people who were really in difficulty took it and went home to clean it up and make food to eat.

After a while, the man came out with a small stack of vegetable leaves, and threw them directly into the woman's basket: "That's all for today, let's go." ”

The woman's brows furrowed, and she couldn't help but speak: "Why is it that all these days are so little?" Didn't the little second brother Mo also give it to another family? ”

"Do you still pick and choose for nothing?" The guy waved his hand impatiently, "All of them are these, do you want to love them." ”

During this period of time, the business of the restaurant was not good, and the shopkeeper was angry, so he had to be angry with these little guys.

"Little second brother, this ......" The woman is obviously not very willing, such a few rotten vegetable leaves, picking and choosing, it is not enough for one person to eat.

"What is this", Xiao Er said as he pushed the woman out, "If you want more, you have the ability to go to Feihongju!" ”

The woman couldn't, so she sighed and went away.

Fei Hongju, this name is not unfamiliar to her, in the past, the largest restaurant in their hometown was called Fei Hongju, but I didn't expect that now it has opened to Shangjing.

Think about it when I was at home in the past, even if I hadn't been to Feihongju, I didn't have to worry about food and clothing, why did I live like this now.

This woman is none other than Zhang Cui, who fled from Dawan Village to Shangjing three years ago.

How much hope there was in my heart when I first came to Beijing, how much despair there is now, or how much despair has gradually disappeared, leaving only the hopelessness and numbness of being forced by life day after day.

Although they fled from the Dawan village, they had forty taels of silver from the eldest brother of the Zhang family when they left, as well as the money from the sale of the house, and they planned to go to Beijing to ask the best doctor to treat Wang Chunwang, but the plan could not catch up with the changes, who would have thought that the cost of going to Beijing would be so high.

First, I rented a small courtyard about the same, and most of the money went, and then asked for a doctor, a consultation, and a medicine, none of which were cheap, and the sea-like silver flowed out, and in less than half a year, Wang Chunwang's illness was not cured, and the silver on their bodies was inverted.

When the rented house reached the end of the day, they could no longer pay the rent, and they were evicted by the landlord and had to move to the cheapest compound.

Wang Changshan does hard labor for people every day, Zhang Cui washes clothes for people during the day, and every evening, he comes to a small restaurant like this to collect kitchen waste.

And Wang Chunwang is reluctant to see people because of psychological reasons, even if he is now inhumane and his body is no different from ordinary people, he is also bored at home all day long, doing nothing, and complaining that his parents are incompetent and can't find a good doctor, making him a cripple.

If there is no money, naturally they can't hire a doctor, and they can't cure their son, so the couple has to take care of their only grandson, so they work hard.

Zhang Cui carried the basket on her back and went to other small restaurants that she often went to on weekdays, and finally got enough food for tonight, and planned to go back.

The compound is closest to the outer city and needs to pass through many bustling markets.

Zhang Cui paid attention to the shop signs on both sides as she walked, looking for Fei Hongju, thinking that she would go tomorrow to see if she could get some food waste.

Although Zhang Cui doesn't know a few words, Feihongju is the largest restaurant in Xingping, and she has seen many times outside the door when she comes and goes, and she also remembers what those three words look like.

Looking at it, there was a familiar signboard that suddenly came into view, and the words on it were also common to Zhang Cui - Shiji Tofu Fang.

She recognized both "Shi" and "Dou", and the reason why she was impressed was because the original Shiji Tofu Workshop in Xingping was opened by Song Pearl and Shi Yong.

Is this one in Shangjing too? Could it be that they have also come to Beijing?

With an indescribable mood, Zhang Cui walked into the Shiji Tofu Workshop.

The guys didn't dislike her when they saw her like this, their things were cheap, and there were people who dressed vulgarly to buy things in the past, and the owners all asked the guys to treat them normally.

"What does this lady buy?" Guy asked enthusiastically.

Compared with the tofu factory in Xingping, it is larger and better decorated, but Zhang Cui still saw the soy sauce and fermented bean curd in a conspicuous place at a glance.

"If you don't buy something, I'm looking for someone." Zhang Cui couldn't hide her excitement.

"Looking for someone?" The guy wondered, "Dare I ask who you're looking for?" ”

"Song Pearl" Zhang Cui slowly spit out three words.

"Song Pearl?" The man repeated it in a whisper, confused. He knew that the surname of the lady of the owner was Song, but he really didn't know what the specific name was.

Seeing him hesitate, Zhang Cui thought to himself, didn't he think wrong? After thinking for a while, he spoke again: "That Shi Yong, is there such a person?" ”

The guy immediately nodded: "Yes, the owner of our tofu shop is Shi Yong, auntie, are you looking for our owner?" ”

Zhang Cui couldn't hide her excitement, she thought that the mountains and rivers were exhausted, but she didn't expect the Shi family to be so capable, and the shops were all opened in Shangjing: "Yes, it's just looking for him, what about others?" ”

"The owner is not often in the tofu shop", said the man, "If the eldest lady is looking for someone, you can go to his house." ”

Shangjing Tofu Shop employs a lot of people, Shi Yong and Pearl were only in the store every day when it first opened, and now they are operating steadily, only occasionally coming to have a look, and most of the time they are still busy making goods and negotiating business with major restaurants.

"Where is his home?" Zhang Cui asked again.

The guy was just about to speak, but when the words came to his mouth, he turned around and swallowed back, and asked with some vigilance: "Who are you, why are you looking for our owner?" ”

"I am her aunt and uncle", confirming the identity of the owner of the shop, Zhang Cui is quite a bit of an elder.

"Auntie?" The guy was a little suspicious, and his mind turned quickly, "I haven't heard the owner mention it, if you are the owner's own aunt, why don't you know where his family lives?" ”

"I ......" Zhang Cui stammered, paused and said, "I am Song Pearl's maternal aunt, and I am the wife of your family, can I not frame you?" ”

Then it's even more impossible, the guy looked up and down at the woman in front of him, dressed in tatters, carrying a broken basket on his back, and there were some rotten vegetable leaves in it, saying that this person was Mrs. Song's aunt? Who would dare to believe it.

This guy only recently learned that the wife of the owner, the Song family, and the mother in the palace are a family, relatives of the emperor and the country! If this old woman was really Mrs. Song's aunt, how could she be so embarrassed?

Zhang Cui didn't expect that as soon as her words came out, the guy became more and more unbelievable, but she didn't have any effective way to confirm it, so she had to emphasize repeatedly: "I'm really her aunt, my cousin, don't you believe that I will call her uncle tomorrow?" ”

The guy said helplessly: "It's useless for you to call your uncle and grandfather, if it's really as you said, then you go to the house to find it, why do you need to come and talk to my little guy." ”

"But I don't know where her house is." Zhang Cui said angrily, "That's why I came to ask you." ”

"How could my aunt not know...... Seeing that the car was about to come again, the guy hurriedly stopped, "Auntie, if you don't buy something, let's leave quickly, our owner and wife are not here today." ”

"You really won't tell me where Song Pearl's family lives?" Zhang Cui asked again.

The guy shook his head, saw a new guest coming in, and hurried to greet him.

Zhang Cui couldn't, seeing that it was getting late and late, she had to leave first, thinking that she would call Wang Changshan to try it tomorrow.

Such a big store, this Song Pearl is really promising, just honor her uncle, and they won't have to live such a bitter life.

When he got home, it was a little late, Wang Changshan had already returned, he was busy and tired for a day, and he didn't even have hot water when he got home.

Zhang Cui didn't seem to see his stinky face, put down the basket and came to the man.

"Guess what I saw today?" Zhang Cui said mysteriously.

Wang Changshan was quite angry: "Do you still have the heart to watch the excitement? We're starving to death at home, so let's make food! ”

Zhang Cui was not angry at all, but said excitedly: "Song Pearl, it's Song Pearl!" ”

Wang Changshan looked up, obviously surprised: "What is she doing in Beijing?" ”

Zhang Cui continued: "You still remember the tofu shop she and Shi Yong opened in Xingping, I saw a home-like shop in Shangjing today, and the decoration was very luxurious, and I think it cost a lot of money." ”

"Did you see them?" Wang Changshan's eyes lit up.

"No", Zhang Cui shook his head, "But I went in and asked, the owner is Shi Yong, but that guy doesn't believe me and refuses to tell me the specific location of the two of them." ”

Wang Changshan listened thoughtfully, and then asked, "Is Shi Yong alone in Shangjing, or is Pearl also there?" ”

Zhang Cui was stunned: "I didn't ask clearly, it should be two people here, what?" ”

"If it's just Shi Yong, it's easy to do, if Pearl also follows into Beijing, I'm afraid it's ......" Wang Changshan hesitated slightly.

"She's not your uncle, can you really leave us alone?" Zhang Cui swore solemnly.

"It's not that you didn't know those things in the past, and in the final analysis, it's not because of you." Wang Changshan complained, "If the three sisters and brothers of the Song family were not driven out at the beginning, how much benefit would this have in the future." ”

"At the beginning, ......" Zhang Cui was a little short of breath, "Who would have thought that there would be today?" It's useless for you to say that now. ”

After thinking about it, he said: "But now this is not Dawan Village, Shangjing is a heavy land, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if Song Pearl dares to be unfilial, let's go and sue them!" ”

Wang Changshan was noncommittal, but he didn't say anything to refute it.

"Don't go to work tomorrow, come with me to the tofu factory." Zhang Cui said again.

"Hmm", Wang Changshan nodded, and at the same time did not forget to advise, "If you see someone, you can't be as strong as before." ”

"Do you still need to say it? I know what to do. Zhang Cui said.

The next day, Wang Changshan and Zhang Cui came to the tofu shop together, but they still didn't see Shi Yong or Pearl.

When the man saw that the woman had really found an "uncle", he was puzzled, and he did not dare to confirm whether it was true or not, and thought to himself that if the two of them came again tomorrow, he would go and report to the owner, so as not to get together with the relatives by mistake.

However, before he could run errands, Shi Yong came to the store on the third day, and as soon as he arrived, the guy couldn't wait to step forward and tell him about it.

"Uncle?" Shi Yong frowned slightly, thinking of the family in Dawan Village, "Do you remember the appearance of those two?" ”

The guy then described the appearance of the two people in his memory, and Shi Yong didn't feel like it when he heard it, so he asked again: "What are the surnames of those two, do you know?" ”

The guy scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "The little one forgot to ask, should those two really be ......" was thinking about whether he really offended the uncle-in-law of the lady of the owner, and when the guy raised his eyes, he saw that the two of them were coming again, and he hurriedly said to Shi Yong, who was carrying the door on his back: "Look, the owner, it's these two." ”

Shi Yong turned around in response, and saw the two people who walked in at the door, who were not Wang Changshan and Zhang Cui.
