In the deafening sound of firecrackers, red confetti flew all over the sky.
Lin Zhenniang raised her head and greeted the sun, and the golden words of the big restaurant opposite flashed with dazzling light, making her squint unconsciously.
When she received the invitation, she almost thought it was sent to the wrong person. Now I know that the housekeeper of the Xiao family did not send the invitation to the wrong place, but specially invited her to watch the ceremony.
"Yongfeng House Barbecue"!?
She didn't know whether to laugh or sigh. It's just a barbecue, and the Xiao family has also invested so much money to change the "Yongfeng Building", which was originally famous in Dingtao, into a special barbecue restaurant.
Before Xiao Qi came to her store to make trouble, she decided that Xiao Qi was making his own opinion. So now that the Xiao family is deliberately playing against her like this, is it just Xiao Qi's problem?
"Yo, Boss Lin......" someone called out with a smile on the side.
Lin Zhenniang turned around when she heard this, and her eyes couldn't help flashing. This person she knew, it was the Xiao steward who had called An Ronghe a brother and brother before.
Arching her hand, Lin Zhenniang greeted with a smile.
"It's rare for Boss Lin to appreciate his face so much, it's an honor for our Yongfeng Building." Steward Xiao smiled and invited Lin Zhenniang to enter, walked through the crowded store, and went directly upstairs to invite.
"Speaking of which, I have benefited a lot from Boss Lin this time. Fortunately, Boss Lin is a generous person, so I won't blame us for stealing your idea, right? β
"How so? But it's all small designs, and it's not a secret...... "Lin Zhenniang is not pretending to be generous."
The designs in her shop have long been commonplace in later generations, and she has never regarded them as a secret secret, so she doesn't feel angry when she sees the tables in Yongfeng Building look like the ones in her shop.
"I'll just say that Boss Lin is generous......" Steward Xiao shook the folding fan with a smile, "Besides, Boss Lin will be an official wife in the future, so he naturally looks down on these small businesses......
Lin Zhenniang's eyes flashed slightly, and she always felt that what Steward Xiao said was wrong, as if there was something in her words. It stands to reason that he and An Ronghe also called each other brothers, and they should not be good friends......
"Brother An has now been promoted and made a fortune, and even his vision has improved to the next level......"
"Steward Xiao," cutting off Steward Xiao's words, Lin Zhenniang smiled, "I'm a stupid person, if there's anything to do, Steward Xiao might as well say it bluntly, if it's hidden, I really can't understand." β
Steward Xiao laughed when he heard this, clapped his hands and said, "Refreshing!" Holding a pot to pour tea, he smiled: "Boss Lin must try our barbecue to see what is different from your store......
Lin Zhenniang nodded and smiled, didn't speak, just stared at Steward Xiao.
Steward Xiao didn't seem to notice Lin Zhenniang's gaze, he just drank tea slowly, and didn't look at Lin Zhenniang until a cup of tea was finished, "Boss Lin, in fact, our Xiao family and Master An are also old friends." Back then, mutual benefit and two triumphs were a good thing. But in recent days......"
Bowing his head and smiling, he said in a deep voice: "A good woman is a ...... for a prosperous husband."
"Steward Xiao's words, I am really getting more and more confused......" Lin Zhenniang laughed, stared at Steward Xiao, and said coldly: "Okay, why did you talk about a good woman?" If I hadn't sat face-to-face with Steward Xiao, I would have gossiped with which lady! β
As soon as his face changed, Steward Xiao snorted, and stopped talking, just raised his hand to greet him, and asked the guy to put the tray on the table.
The oily meat skewers, the smell of meat, Lin Zhenniang looked at the yellow and red seasonings sticking to the meat skewers, her eyes flashed slightly, and she didn't wait for Xiao to let her, so she took a skewer of meat skewers by herself.
"Since Manager Xiao is so sincere, I'm not welcome."
At the entrance of the meat skewers, although Lin Zhenniang's face did not change, she was chuckling in her heart.
The taste, though still slightly different from the taste in her shop. But this red spice is by no means ground with dogwood, but with an authentic chili flavor.
It's strange, could it be that the old man came to the city to sell chili again, but didn't come to her shop?
No, the old man made it clear before that those were the only stocks in the house. Even if it was planted again in the spring, it was not so fast. Even the small experimental field she planted at home has only just bloomed pepper flowers......
Suddenly raising her eyebrows, Lin Zhenniang's gaze fell on Steward Xiao's face.
Although Steward Xiao's face was as usual, he couldn't see half of the clues, but there was a pride in his eyes that couldn't be hidden.
"Steward Xiao, it seems that your Xiao family is really rich and powerful, and you have a way!"
Steward Xiao smiled, shook the folding fan, and said lightly: "Didn't you say 'money can make ghosts grind'?" β
This is too right, although I don't know which one the Xiao family bought, but Lin Zhenniang can be sure. This chili powder must have come out of her shop.
Glancing at Steward Xiao, Lin Zhenniang wiped her hands with a tissue and said with a smile: "Some dry mouth......
"What are you still doing? Go and order a bowl of cold water for Boss Lin, or drink a bowl of water and wine? β
Lin Zhenniang's eyebrows moved slightly, but she laughed, "I was about to taste the cold water of Yongfeng Building, I remember that the sugarcane water I drank last time was good......"
In front of her, there was talk and laughter, and as soon as she left Yongfeng Building, Lin Zhenniang's face sank.
On the way back, she kept wondering who had betrayed her.
When she returned to the store, she also peeked at everyone in the store one by one.
Business in the store is not good today.
The location of Yongfeng Building is good, it is near the tile shop, the flow of people is originally prosperous, plus the time-honored brand of Yongfeng Building, the big restaurant, now it has changed to a barbecue restaurant, and naturally most of the diners have been divided.
Although there are few diners, the four guys in the restaurant are not idle, and they can do whatever they should do.
Lin Zhenniang looked at it, and she laughed first. She's too suspicious, too. Because of the chili powder thing, see which one looks like a thief. But once I settled down, I didn't feel like a thief.
To say, the chili noodles, in addition to being used when grilling skewers in the store, are also used when diners do it themselves. Therefore, it is not unusual for the major restaurants in Dingtao to know that they have such unique spices in their stores. It's just that you don't usually get that much of it.
Moreover, she also taught the two guys how to grill early in the morning, and when they were busy, they also took turns to follow the skewers, so the skewers were not a secret at all.
When she returned, she checked the storeroom, and the peppers in the storeroom were nearly half missing. If you use it for barbecue, it should last for about a month. If you want to do long-term trading, these peppers are not enough. If she hadn't kept the seeds a long time ago, planted them in her own vegetable garden, and had agreed with the old man early on to buy all the peppers he had produced this year, she wouldn't have dared to do this barbecue business.
"Uncle Dong," greeted Uncle Dong, Lin Zhenniang asked seemingly casually, "Who else has entered the warehouse besides me recently?" β
The people in the store may lie to her, but Dongbo is not going to lie to her.
Although Dongbo didn't know why she suddenly asked this, he still thought about it and answered her, "Brother Jing came here a few days ago, and it seems that he took some chili peppers and left, saying that her mother was going to make him a delicious ......"
Suddenly, Lin Zhenniang's voice was a little dry, "How many chili peppers did he take?" β
"There's always a pouch! Little lady, what's wrong? β
Lin Zhenniang shook her hand and didn't answer, but suddenly stood up, "Uncle Dong, I'm going back, you can watch the store first!" β
"Little lady......" Lin Dong was about to scream, but Lin Zhenniang had already walked out quickly.
With a fire burning in her chest, Lin Zhenniang almost trotted all the way, and only relieved her mood when she almost reached the mouth of her own alley. grabbed the boy who was playing at the entrance of the alley, gave him two pennies to trouble him to call Ruyu, and then transferred to Lin Jing's school.
Seeing Lin Zhenniang, Lin Jing was strange and surprised. Lin Zhenniang didn't say much else, only said that there was something at home, and she confessed to her husband and brought Lin Jing back.
The siblings walked slowly, one after the other. In the end, Lin Jing couldn't stand it, so she asked first: "Sister, what happened at home?" Could it beβagain, what happened to my mother? β
Listening to Lin Jing's somewhat frightened voice, Lin Zhenniang also felt uncomfortable, but still said: "Brother Jing, do you remember that I said before that if my aunt does something sorry for everyone again, she can't stay in the Lin family." β
"My mother, she won't-didn't she already say it before......" Lin Jing's voice paused, and she had already brought out her crying.
Although Lin Zhenniang took pity on this young brother, she still said: "Brother Jing, I won't wronged my aunt, you will ask her in person in a while." β
After a while, she explained today's events in detail, and asked, "What did your aunt make for you with the chili peppers you took from the store?" What if you run out of everything? β
Her face turned pale, and Lin Jing no longer insisted on helping Ruyu speak as she did at the beginning. Just keep your head down all the way and don't say anything.
When the siblings returned home, Ruyu had already arrived home. Seeing Lin Jing, her face changed, "If the little lady has anything to say, she has to say it in front of Brother Jing......"
"Auntie will know in a while......" Lin Zhenniang replied casually, but turned to the courtyard. After a long while, he turned back, "Auntie, those peppers in the yard were dug up by my aunt?" β
She had just gone to see that there were more than a dozen of those peppers missing. Whether it's pepper or corn, she is very precious and looks at it every day. Those who were clearly dug up today are really ......
Lin Jing's throat was a little blocked, looking at Ruyu, her eyes showed a look of struggle, but she still asked, "Mother, where are the chili peppers I took before?" Sister just said that the chili seedlings were poached, you, you, isn't it? Did you really sell those chili peppers to the Xiao family? β
With a straight face, Ruyu was silent for a while, and finally said, "Yes, I am the one who sold those chili peppers to the Xiao family!" Those pepper seedlings are also ......"
Raising her eyes and glaring at Lin Zhenniang, Ruyu sneered: "If you want to know, just ask yourself, why bother to ask Brother Jing?" Lin Zhenniang, I knew that after today, you will definitely know...... I don't plan to hide it from you for the rest of my life! You're going to kick me out, so of course I'll have to earn the money to move out before I can leave......" rs
