Chapter 496: Shen Xinzhao (I)
Shen Xinzhao is a beautiful and stubborn typical Jiangnan woman. He has big eyes, a playful nose, and lips that smile almost all the time.
Although she is a foreigner and doesn't even understand the language, she successfully settled in Taozhou and quickly became the "sister-in-law Zhao" praised by her neighbors.
Because Shen Xinzhao has a skill similar to Shen Hao: cooking.
All the dim sum in Jiangnan couldn't stump her.
"Stump, go and call your sister and Hanwa, Douzi, and Anan to come and have a snack." Shen Xinzhao dragged a six- or seven-year-old boy who was holding a slingshot to shoot birds at the door of the hospital, and wiped his nose with an apron with a smile.
The children finished eating with laughter and laughter, and they would go home with a piece or two for their parents to taste.
Some aunts and grandmothers blamed Shen Xinzhao: "This is not a copper coin? What do you do to feed these bastards every day? You open a small shop in your own house, and saving money for the elderly is the right thing to do! ”
Shen Xinzhao smiled embarrassedly: "My sister-in-law takes care of me like this, I don't know anything, and the others can't help." I'm going to have to eat myself anyway. Do you want to give it to the kids? ”
"Don't give it for nothing in the future! Start your own shop! The eldest lady enthusiastically helped her find a storefront, and shouted at the neighbors who could talk to the yamen, went to prepare the case, and then yelled at their children to help clean up the back kitchen stove, counter, tables and chairs in the store.
Then he earnestly recommended to his relatives and friends: "Where can you eat such authentic Jiangnan dim sum?" Why would the chef in the restaurant sell to our ordinary people? Our family has eaten it from me to the baby, and it tastes great! Pack: You've never eaten it in your life! ”
Shen Xinzhao's Jiangnan dim sum shop opened almost in the blink of an eye, and it was overcrowded in the blink of an eye. It's just that she didn't listen to her neighbors, and still insisted on inviting the children to her home for private snacks every day.
The eldest ladies and aunts hated that iron could not become steel, so they were so angry that they slapped Shen Xinzhao a few times, and then went home to beat the children: "Let you not be gluttonous!" Did you hear one? ”
The children didn't care, and when they were in a hurry, they retorted: "There is no one in the store!" It's delicious! My aunt said let me go, just go! Just go! ”
So the neighbors worked harder to say good things to Shen Xinzhao.
The fame of Jiangnan dim sum shops is growing. Someone began to inquire about Shen Xinzhao's private affairs.
Ordinary people don't care, the spicy aunts and aunts in the northwest directly scolded Shen Xinzhao and ran away. But gradually, the rich and powerful began to ask.
But there are also the right ones.
For example, the shopkeeper of the Fugui Restaurant, which is only one street away from the government, lost his family last year, leaving behind three children. People inside and outside urged the shopkeeper to continue, but the shopkeeper fell in love with a little lady who sang. Eight out of ten people said that the little lady can only be a thing, and she can be a stepmother for three children? It's better to take that little lady as a concubine, and then find a serious woman to be a wife.
Shen Xinzhao's fame has become greater, and the sales of dim sum are good. Immediately, someone told the shopkeeper that it was too suitable for him.
The shopkeeper really came to see it a few times, nodded, and invited a matchmaker to come to the door.
thought that he would have to say it, but as soon as Shen Xinzhao heard the intention, he sent the guest away: "I didn't mean that, please don't come again in the future." ”
This kind of halfway husband and wife thing, naturally you and I are willing. Ben is nothing. Who knew that the concubine who had been accepted heard about it, and laughed at the shopkeeper on the pillow: "You are a toad who wants to eat swan meat!" You are worthy of a ninth-rate, serious lady like me, who can look up to you like this? Rich and amazing? Three oil bottles! Who are you willing to give them a serious mother? Won't the old lady give birth herself? ”
was scolded by seven and eight times, and he was angry that he couldn't be a wife.
But the shopkeeper was scolded so angry that he asked the matchmaker to say again: "...... People are not old, nor are they ugly, you should know how much you know how to open a restaurant. It's not that you won't let you continue to do this craft when you marry it. Specially opened a big dim sum shop for you. Isn't it better to sell it to officials and nobles than to sell it to these poor sour?
"If you don't follow it, you are all in the food industry, you can't look up and see you down, there is a conflict in business, do people let you or not?"
Shen Xinzhao fell silent.
The matchmaker thought it was done, and he was about to put down the dowry happily.
Shen Xinzhao got up and curtsied: "That's it, don't let me stay here, I'll move." ”
The matchmaker was surprised.
Would you rather move than marry the shopkeeper of the restaurant?
"You are the right person, you widow from outside, how can you screw it like this?"
Shen Xinzhao sighed, didn't answer, and pushed the matchmaker out the door.
The next day, the dim sum shop was closed. However, a notice of the redemption store was posted at the door.
Coincidentally, one of the neighbor's aunts has a husband who is in charge of the Pingzhun Municipal Office in the government office, that is, the official who is in charge of these shops, and everyone calls him Zhang Abo.
When his wife heard about this, she came back angrily and told Uncle Zhang: "...... This is so deceitful! ”
Zhang Abel thought for a while and sighed: "Tian Fugui, the shopkeeper of the Fugui Restaurant, was the brother-in-law of the Taozhou Assassin in front of him, and he was used to it. In fact, if the sister-in-law of the Shen family is willing, go to the yamen and say a few words, let's come forward, then Tian Fugui will be honest. It's just that this sister-in-law of the Shen family seems to be a very trouble-free person, so I'm afraid that I won't go to the yamen......"
When Aunt Zhang heard this, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly went to Shen Xinzhao, told her all her husband's words, and pouted her: "I'll accompany you to the yamen!" ”
Shen Xinzhao shook his head again and again, refusing to go, preferring to move to avoid trouble.
When the matter reached Tian Fugui's ears, his concubine turned his mind and bewitched him in private: "How can anyone who goes south and north is still afraid of the government?" I'm afraid I didn't commit an accident in a foreign country, right? Those dim sum recipes in her hand......"
Tian Fugui couldn't hold back his greed.
That night, the Jiangnan dim sum shop was pried open, and the thief was caught, but he said: "The owner said that the lady of the owner has a temper and is not sure of the day of marriage......"
Everyone looked at each other.
If Shen Xinzhao nods, he will not be considered a thief, and if Shen Xinzhao does not admit it, then it is necessary to see an official.
Tian Fugui went to Shen Xinzhao's house and tried to be polite: "I sincerely marry you, and the lady will accept it." ”
Shen Xinzhao was silent, got up and knocked on the door next door: "Please accompany me to see Uncle Zhang, I have to report to the official." ”
How dare she see an official?
Tian Fugui was taken aback.
When he arrived at the mansion, because the matter was very small, Zhang Abel first took Shen Xinzhao and Tian Fugui to meet the officials.
When the magistrate heard that there was a burglary, and he was trying to force marriage, he was furious: "This is rampant! When Jun Xin took office, he first cured the bully, how could anyone dare to brush the tiger's beard? Wait for me to report to the envoy. ”
Shen Xinzhao hurriedly stopped: "Forget it." It's not a big deal. The little woman is widowed and has to hide from right and wrong. I really don't want to make a public announcement. Let him lose the money of my shop, and never bother each other again, that is. "Please pay attention to the latest chapters in the future
