Zheng led Hong Xiuhua back to Anyang County in an ox cart first, Shen Shiliu sighed, he just talked casually before, but he didn't expect Hong Xiuhua's stomach to be really angry, and she was pregnant when she said that she was pregnant.

"In the future, I will also be an aunt, hurry up and work to earn money and buy candy for my little nephews!" Shen Shiliu said.

Du Niangzi is actually envious, Du Xuanmo and Shen Shu are about the same age, Shen Shu's wife is pregnant now, but Du Xuanmo has not even become a parent, and she is also a little anxious.

In the evening, Du Xuanmo came to look for Shen Shimei, and his face was not as worried as in the past because of the many things in the yamen, on the contrary, Du Xuanmo's whole person was full of energy.

"What's the good thing?" Shen Shiliu asked.

"Well, the yamen can collect grain normally." Du Xuanmo said.

"So fast?" Shen Shiliu thinks this efficiency is amazing.

Du Xuanmo nodded: "The idea you gave me before, the boss agreed, although the people's interest money needs me to solve, but it has been done." ”

Shen Shiliu poured herbal tea for Du Xuanmo and asked, "How did you solve it?" Did the yamen make a profit on its own? You can't pay for it yourself, do you? ”

"I am going to put a sign at the entrance of the yamen and set aside an obvious place for merchants to rent and earn rent." Du Xuanmo said.

Shen Shiliu listened, is this a "public area commercial contracting" project?

"How's it going?" Shen Shiliu asked, Du Xuanmo's idea is very avant-garde, but I don't know if the people here can accept it?

Du Xuanmo nodded: "The first wave has been negotiated, I have calculated it, if the interest is calculated according to the amount, this year, the yamen will still be able to generate income by relying on the brand, and if there are any difficulties in the county at that time, there will be funds to take." ”

Shen Shiliu smiled and gave Du Xuanmo a thumbs up: "It's amazing!" ”

Du Xuanmo was actually inspired by Shen Pomegranate, Shen Pomegranate's "Ice Kirin" is a living example, no one needs to tell it, but everyone can spread it by word of mouth, which shows that news dissemination is very important, and smart businessmen will definitely see the business opportunities inside.

Du Niangzi and Du Xuanmo had dinner here and went home together, and on the way Du Niangzi said: "Pomegranate's eldest brother has a happy event, and his daughter-in-law is pregnant!" ”

"That's a good thing!" Du Xuanmo was happy for the Shen family.

Du Niangzi smiled: "A good thing is a good thing, but my mother also wants to hold her grandson early, you are not in a hurry, pomegranate is not in a hurry, my mother is in a hurry!" ”

"Don't worry, mother, even if you get married now, it is estimated that you will not have time to give birth, and when your son has a firm foothold, she will be able to get married." Du Xuanmo said, although there is Xiangye's appreciation now, but it is just an opportunity, whether he can gain a firm foothold in the court is still one thing, in case his officialdom is not smooth in the future, Shen Shiliu will also suffer and suffer when he marries, and now he only wants to be able to become famous, and he will not be wronged by Shen Shimei in the future.

"Forget it, I know you're stubborn!" Du Niangzi knew that there was no way to make Du Xuanmo change her mind, so she waited first, anyway, she was still young, and the days of bringing her grandson would be long in the future.

When he returned home, Du Xuanmo was rarely idle, so he accompanied Du Niangzi to talk for a while.

"Mother, what's the matter with pomegranates these days?" Du Xuanmo asked his mother, and now in most cases, it is Du Niangzi who knows about Shen Shimei's daily affairs.

Du Niangzi smiled: "Are you treating your mother as a fine work?" "Staring at Shen Pomegranate every day, and then coming back at night to report?

Du Xuanmo laughed: "I don't see pomegranates on weekdays, and pomegranates don't report good news or bad news, I'm afraid that she has some difficulties and can't talk to me!" ”

Du Niangzi sat down and talked about Shen Pomegranate: "Pomegranate has not had any difficulties recently, but her sister-in-law in Anyang County is pregnant, and the store may have to be delayed for a while." And now I'm studying what kind of ice unicorn is all day long.,The menu is also varied.,It's quite interesting to watch! ”

Du Niangzi said coarse and fine, Du Xuanmo listened with relish, and finally Du Niangzi saw that it was not early, so she let Du Xuanmo go to bed early.

Du Xuanmo rarely went to bed early, he had fainted once before because he didn't sleep well, and he was afraid that his body would be broken, in case he did it, wouldn't he let Shen Shimei be widowed?

Du Xuanmo discussed the transportation with Han Shuliang the next day, because it was when the water and grass were abundant, and the grain price had eased, but the local grain price was still not low.

"Brother Han, this is a little profit I prepared, I heard Pomegranate say yesterday that you are married, congratulations." Du Xuanmo gave out a jar of wine, he was very happy to give this gift, before he thought that Han Shuliang was still thinking about Shen Pomegranate, so he could rest assured.

"Thank you." Han Shuliang guessed that it was Hong Xiuhua who said it, and thanked Du Xuanmo for his friendship.

The two discussed for a while, Han Shuliang left first, Du Xuanmo saw that the task was about to be successfully completed, and his heart was much more steady, and he finally lived up to the weight of the above.

The ice cream on Shen Pomegranate's side has now become the hottest snack, and the sour plum has been dried and marinated for a month and a half, and now it can be taken out and eaten.

As soon as the lid was opened, a sweet smell came out, and Zheng's nose was so good that he followed the smell and came over.

"It's really making you famous!" Zheng said with a smile, when Shen Pomegranate said that she wanted to pickle green plums, she still looked disgusted, she had heard of pickled radish pickled cucumbers, she had never heard of pickled green plums, and thought that when the time came, the pickled jar would stink!

Shen pomegranate used the wine made of bamboo tube to fish out two first, and he grew one, and he felt that the taste was okay, so he also ate one for Zheng.

"Well, it's sweet and sour, and it's greasy to eat!" Zheng ate it quite right, and let Shen pomegranate take out a few more, and everyone in the family tasted it.

Shen pomegranate took out the sour plum and wrapped it in a layer of honey, then chopped it up and put it in the ice cream to add a layer of flavor.

"These are stored in the cellar, I'm afraid they will taste bad after a long time!" Shen Pomegranate held the jar, the green plum had become brown at this time, she just kept it for herself as a snack, if she sold it, her craft was simple, and it was estimated that she would soon have research, and she would not sell it for a few dollars.

Zheng Erzhu came back from the cellar and sprinkled and swept in the lobby, and at this time someone came to the door.

"What do you want to eat?" Zheng Erzhu stepped forward to greet him, but the man said, "I want to find the shopkeeper of your house, I am the shopkeeper of Jinfeng Restaurant." ”

When Zheng Erzhu heard this, he hurriedly went to find Shen Shimei, Jinfeng Restaurant is the largest restaurant in Fengyang County, and it has great influence.

When Shen Shiliu heard that the shopkeeper of Jinfeng Restaurant came to find her, she wondered, could it be that her restaurant business was getting in the way?

Shen Shimei washed his hands and arrived in the lobby, and saw a middle-aged uncle in his forties, who was slightly fat and dressed in a smooth manner.

"I am the shopkeeper of this house, and the shopkeeper of Jinfeng wants to ......," Shen Shiliu asked.

"My surname is Zhou, and I am the shopkeeper of Jinfeng Restaurant." Shopkeeper Zhou exploded his name first, but he was surprised that the shopkeeper of this restaurant was a little girl.

Shen Shiliu also signed up: "My surname is Shen, what's the important thing about Shopkeeper Zhou coming today?" "It stands to reason that her store is still far from Jinfeng Restaurant, and the location of her store is not the most prosperous main street, so it shouldn't be a threat to Jinfeng Restaurant, right?

Shopkeeper Zhou saw that Shen Shimei was on guard, so he said: "Shopkeeper Shen don't need to be nervous, I want to talk to Shopkeeper Shen about Zhuang business today!" ”

As soon as Shen Shiliu heard that he was not here to "kick the hall", he asked Shopkeeper Zhou to sit down first.

Zheng Erzhu served tea, and Shen Shimei said: "Shopkeeper Zhou, our small shop is also a small business, what business can we talk about?" ”

"That's right, our store wants to buy the recipe for making ice unicorns at Shopkeeper Shen's house!" Shopkeeper Zhou said directly.

Shen Shiliu understood as soon as he heard it, although he knew that something would happen sooner or later, but he didn't expect Jinfeng Restaurant to start so soon.

"This, I can't obey my fate, it's all a restaurant, just rely on this secret recipe to make a little money, the secret recipe can't be sold!" Shen Pomegranate attaches the most importance to his own "secret recipe", and he can't cut off his future financial path for the sake of a small profit in front of him. She sells the formula on the front foot, and the customers on the back foot are reduced, isn't this finding a business rival for herself?

Shopkeeper Zhou heard Shen Pomegranate say that he would not sell it, so he said: "Our price is negotiable, Jinfeng Restaurant has been in this county for some years, and it is definitely not right to shorten Shen's shopkeeper's money." ”

"Then I can't sell it, don't embarrass me for Shopkeeper Zhou." Shen Pomegranate declined.

Shopkeeper Zhou saw that Shen Shimei was so resolute, so he said: "Our Jinfeng Restaurant has also made a lot of nobles over the years, what difficulties does Shopkeeper Shen have in the future, we can also wear it in the middle, why should Shopkeeper Shen only stick to one formula?" ”

Shen Shiliu raised his eyebrows, and said that profiteers and profiteers, this Jinfeng Restaurant can really fool, what is the reason for a hammer deal to help in the future? It is estimated that if she was fooled into really selling the formula, there would be no future in the future, and if she really said that there were difficulties, people might not pay attention to her.

"Thank you Shopkeeper Zhou for your kindness, I really can't sell this secret recipe, I still have a lot of things in the kitchen, so I'll accompany you less, Shopkeeper Zhou will sit first, and you can eat refreshments!" After Shen Shiliu finished speaking, he left first, and he didn't continue to entangle with Shopkeeper Zhou.

Shopkeeper Zhou was a little unhappy in his heart, he thought that a small restaurant was easy to handle, but he didn't want Shen Shimei's little girl to be so difficult to deal with! No one talked to him anymore, he kept some refreshments, got up and left.

"People are gone?" Ask Zheng Erzhu.

"Let's go, even the old man is slumped, I guess I'm not happy!" Zheng Erzhu is still very good at looking at his face.

Shen Shiliu was helpless: "If you're not happy, you're not happy, anyway, you have to buy the formula, it's impossible!" "She is afraid of trouble, but not afraid of things, just now the shopkeeper also said that he knows a lot of nobles, in case he has a grudge, he may have nothing to do in the future, but Shen Shimei is not afraid, he has experienced strong winds and waves, and his courage is not scared!
