Chapter Seventy-Seven: Salt Water in the Morning and Honey Soup in the Evening
The country is like a mountain and a sea, there is no information, and you can't take care of yourself.
His old father, who was dying of old age, was probably more than capable of fighting his son's cannibalism.
The two elder brothers are very powerful, Li Jiye knows that he will definitely not be able to compete with them, and he has never thought of saving the mind to fight with them.
The position of the crown prince has always been a succession rather than a virtuous, but the second brother is unconvinced.
In the court of Yan Kingdom, there are many secrets.
Three years ago, maybe he knew something, but after three years, things have changed, and I'm afraid that many things have exceeded his imagination.
If the people of Yan Kingdom don't come to pick him up, he will live with Li Jiye's identity in the future, and there is nothing wrong with it.
The way back was bumpy, and the boat was tiring and tired.
It is true that the scenery on both sides of the mountains and rivers is extremely beautiful, but in the end, when I look back, I feel tired of looking at it.
Every time you dock, you have to buy a lot.
Looking back, Li Jicai asked, just saying that he only picked the autumn maple leaves and came back, I was afraid that he would laugh at him for being insincere, and said that he would bring gifts back to everyone who lived with his fate, and it would not be good to break his promise and gain weight when the time came.
Li Jicai is the same as him, he doesn't pick. But it's a girl, and beautiful clothes must be bought more.
The cattle account room is a book lover, so bring more books and booklets.
Sister-in-law Wu's family has many children, so bring more gadgets that children like.
Xiaoshunzi and a few of them are gluttonous ghosts, just buy more specialties.
Although Li Jiye doesn't talk to them much on weekdays, life is closely connected, so naturally he knows a lot about them.
The days of visiting outside for a month have been full, and Li Jicai has been talking more in the store.
Although there is still a lot of time before the day of the court summons, it is not easy to let Li Jiye go outside for a long time.
Just when Li Jicai asked someone to send a few more letters urging Li Jiye to come back.
Li Jiye finally returned on a sunset evening.
It was a crisp autumn weather, but there was more anxiety and impatience between the eyebrows.
Li Jiye came back from the night, all the way dusty, he felt unbearable heat, and the dust on the streets and roads rose straight to his face.
Seeing this scene, Li Jiye hated it even more, and immediately went back to his small courtyard to freshen up, and then sleep beautifully.
Sticky, steaming hot sweat smells dirty and smelly, when you come down from the docks.
The crowd was crowded, and Li Jiye was almost squeezed into the river!
Carrying large bags and small bags, things are not easy to carry, or hire two or three people to help bring them back to Suiyuanju.
Li Jicai gave a lot of money, and Li Jiye also had a score in his heart to spend money, but he didn't have too exaggerated expenses.
Later, when Niu Runze sorted the accounts for Li Jiye, he said that he spent money in moderation and did not spend it indiscriminately, and he won a praise from Li Jicai.
Before his ass could sit firmly, everyone hugged him, and Li Jicai leaned on the front, asking him where he had gone to play all the way, but what interesting things had happened and what gifts he had brought back to them.
Li Jiye was busy at night before he could catch his breath, and he was blocked on the chair by everyone, but he couldn't lose his temper, so he had to wave his hand patiently and say, "It's all there!" Take it easy! ”
Sanshi poured Li Jiye a cup of tea and asked him to moisten his throat.
Li Jiye himself left anxiously, and after drinking one glass, he asked for two glasses in a row.
"Hey! It's not just a trip to go out and play, there's nothing to say. ”
Li Jicai slapped his arm and said, "What do you mean there's nothing to say?" We've been exhausted this month, and we haven't rested yet! It just so happens that you are back, tomorrow you will take a few days off, and let Li Jiye work for us! ”
"Good!" The crowd roared.
"Ah?!!h Li Jiye looked at Li Jicai in disbelief, "What? I've just come back!! Why do you do this to me!! ”
"You've been playing for a month, and you can't make a good profit when you come back? During this time, the store can't make ends meet, and you won't play for the rest of the day. Li Jicai said.
Li Jiye was annoyed, and muttered unconsciously: "If I knew this was the case, then I would have come back later." "All the self-righteous longing that flooded the ship was thrown out of the clouds.
What remains is a stomach full of resentment: if you knew earlier, you would not have come back so soon......
Li Jiye's packages were all opened under Li Jicai's instructions, except for Xiao Shunzi, who pinched the burden of the clothes and survived.
Li Jicai sniffed Li Jicai's neck, the smell of sweat was indeed a little heavy, and when he smelled it closely, he felt that it was particularly obvious.
"Runze, you take him down to take a shower first and change into clean clothes."
"Okay, boss." Niu Runze nodded, Li Jiye didn't want to fight when he heard Li Jicai's irrefutable words, he was exhausted, love it, let it be ruthless!
The others each searched for Li Jiye's things, and everything delicious and fun was brought to the table.
Nothing big, most of them are small things, miscellaneous.
Li Jicai understands that Li Jiye is not interested in these things, most of them are brought to them, and when she went out before, she instructed and instructed that when she came back from going out, she must think about bringing gifts to the store, no matter how much, she must have a heart.
Of course, Li Jiye's mouth is perfunctory, and he still looks like he doesn't like to answer, but when he came back, he still brought it all, this person is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted.
"Sister-in-law Wu, look, so many sugar man little windmills, they must be for your doll, oh yo, look at this clip is so beautiful! Try it too! Li Jicai chose a good Cuizhu clip, and reached out to put it on Sister-in-law Wu's head.
Women's ornaments, from ancient times to the present, have a wide variety of patterns, new ideas, and any material can come out of a lot of good-looking.
With the right bun, it really shows temperament and beauty, no matter what age the woman is.
Sister-in-law Wu is dressed very simply, and her clothes are mostly dusty, and she usually makes some money to supplement the family, and she has never thought about using it on her body, except for the dowry when she was newly married, she has never bought one.
"Oh yo, this, what's so embarrassing? Childe, Childe was bought for me? ”
The eagerness and shyness in Sister-in-law Wu's eyes, as well as caution, made Li Jicai feel a little sour in his heart.
The simple and hard-working sister-in-law Wu is a mother of four children, she is only forty this year, but she looks like she has fifty or sixty people.
The heavy labor of the previous decades, the years have left a deep mark on her face, and her youth is no more.
After coming to her shop for more than two years, her complexion has become much rudder, and she has become more energetic.
"Oops! Sister-in-law Wu! What stupid things to say? Li Jicai watched Sister-in-law Wu stay still, and then personally helped her put it on.
After comparing it slightly, he clamped the emerald bead clip on Sister-in-law Wu's head.
Then he said to Xiao Shunzi and Sanshi, who were still collecting next to him, "Okay?" ”
Sanshi and Xiao Shunzi nodded vigorously when they heard the sound, and then said in unison: "It's good-looking!" It's so pretty! ”
Sister-in-law Wu couldn't help blushing and wanted to take a bite of them, but she seemed to feel that it was so indecent, so she quickly skimmed her face and was embarrassed to speak.
Li Jicai continued to pack up the things that Li Jiye brought back, with a satisfied smile on his face, because Li Jiye's upper path is worthy of being the younger brother she brought out!
Everyone quickly divided up what Li Jiye could share, with Li Jicai's strong support.
Over there, Niu Runze boiled water for Li Jiye and helped him freshen up, then sent him back to his room to rest and let him sleep.
The hour is not early, and when the lights are on, Suiyuanju should also open the door to pick up customers.
Autumn is dry, and there is a saying that "salt water in the morning and honey soup in the evening".
Li Jicai has always followed the season, and often asked the doctor what to eat when and when.
White rice is still the main dish in the evening, but with a few more soups.
White silver carp head soup, chop off the silver carp head and put in wine and ginger and other condiments to remove the fish, simmer over low heat, the entrance is smooth and full of flavor.
Mushroom and tofu soup is a soup that uses the natural freshness of mushrooms and vegetables, and the original flavor of the soup is stewed, and it is affordable.
Carp hawthorn soup, crucian carp soup, lily winter melon soup and so on.
Tonight's main dish is these soups.
The set meal remains the same, the price is low, and those who are full and cheap will definitely order it.
Those who dine-in or take out in the lobby will order a soup and taste it carefully.
Li Jicai doesn't think his craftsmanship is very good, basically they are all homely, the most primitive and simple and even rough methods of cooking, and the others are all learned and sold, and they are asked for Chinese medical care, and they are secretly learned from others.
So now the style of casual living is really as casual as its name.
However, Li Jicai feels that the most expensive thing is her intentions, and each one of them is something she dares to sell after thousands of experiments.
And most of them are mild and nourishing, and she doesn't dare to sell some flavors that are too heavy and too exciting to customers, for fear of giving others something to eat.
However, in the past three years, Li Jicai is still the only one in the capital, and he has become increasingly famous.
At noon, the soup is slowly simmered between the pots and stoves, and in the evening, the customers come and go, and the business is booming, until the soup is almost sold out by the time it closes.
Everyone was a little tired from their work, but their faces were still full of excitement.
Because after tomorrow, because Childe is back, they can all take turns off, and they don't have to be in the store every day.
After a few people cleaned up the store, they closed the door of the store, and then took a plate of peanuts and a few side dishes, and a few people chatted while eating.
"Boss, the rent of the store has risen slightly this month, and the other party's tone seems to be going to add some?" Niu Runze was still dealing with the account book at the counter, forget it, and suddenly remembered something after a long time, so he walked to Li Jicai's side and told her.
It is also strange to say that Mrs. Fan negotiated with Li Jicai about the two big shops in the inn back then, and rented a quarter.
Originally, this inn was opened by Mrs. Fan's friend's house, so it was a lot cheaper, and later after Li Jicai's business became bigger and bigger, the two shops were handed over to Li Jicai.
But it is still in the form of a lease, but the rent has not risen much in the past three years, which makes Li Jicai feel extremely grateful.
