Wen Huai's addition made Shen Pomegranate a little more relaxed, although this stupid big man looked clumsy, but he did his work very neatly, and he used to tell the second time if he told the work once, and there was work in his eyes, needless to say, he had already done a lot of things, he ate more, and the rest was perfect.

Zheng didn't think that such a big kid could eat seven or eight steamed buns at a time, anyway, their family could afford it, and they could work hard.

When Du Xuanmo came in the evening, he saw that there was one more person in the restaurant, so he asked, "This is the new apprentice?" ”

Shen Shiliu nodded, and asked Wen Huai to come over and recognize everyone first: "Apprentice, this is your master's future husband, don't know each other when you meet on the street in the future!" ”

Wen Huai heard that it was Shen Shimei's fiancé, thought for a while, and finally shouted at Du Xuanmo: "Hello, master!" ”

"Huh?" Du Xuanmo was speechless, and Shen Shiliu was bent over with a smile, this Wen Huai is really interesting!

Du Xuanmo hurriedly said: "Don't say that, seeing that you are older than me, you can call me Brother Du in the future." ”

"Yes, Brother Du." Wen Huai agreed, and Shen Shiliu asked Wen Huai to go to the back kitchen to learn how to cook first.

When Du Xuanmo saw Wen Huai go to the back kitchen, he asked, "Where did you find such an honest man as an apprentice?" ”

"I posted a notice to find it, and I came to join my relatives when there was a disaster at home, but I didn't expect a disaster here, but I learned to read and write when my family was in a good year, otherwise I wouldn't have seen the notice and came." Shen Shiliu said: "Literacy is easy to teach a lot, and it is good to be honest, so as not to find someone with a bad heart, and I have to be scared." ”

Du Xuanmo nodded, and said, "During the day, I heard that you went to the yamen to pass the paperwork, and with the guarantee of the yamen, you can't get out of the chaos." ”

"Hungry, you wait a little longer, and you'll be fine in no time." Shen Shiliu said and went to the back kitchen with the picked dishes.

In the evening, Shen Pomegranate made a pot of two rice, sprinkled gardenias on top, baked butter cakes, and a large pot of egg soup with two large dishes.

When Wen Huai was eating, the amount of food also frightened Du Xuanmo, Du Xuanmo looked at Wen Huai with his rice bowl, and found that he had been eating too "manly" all along!

"Don't look at it, eat it quickly, if you eat slowly, there will be nothing!" Du Niangzi pushed Du Xuanmo, she had already seen it during the day, and there was no leftovers at all!

Du Xuanmo hurriedly ate, while Shen Shimei smiled on the side, sandwiched vegetables for Du Xuanmo, and watched Wen Huai eat.

"How long have you been hungry?" Du Xuanmo asked Shen Pomegranate in a low voice.

"I guess I haven't eaten enough in the previous days, and I'll be fine in a few days." Shen Shiliu said, and asked Du Xuanmo: "Don't you think it's good to do this?" Watching him eat, I feel that the food is more fragrant! ”

Du Xuanmo smiled and nodded: "Indeed." "It is said that grabbing food is popular, and now I have seen it, in order not to starve myself, Du Xuanmo is also a lot more active in eating.

In the evening, Wen Huai went home to live after eating, Zheng Erzhu thought that if Wen Huai stayed here in the future, it was estimated that he would have to share a room with him, and he suddenly became sad.

"Pomegranate, the stupid big man in our bed may not be able to lie down!" Zheng Erzhu said that his room was a large wooden bed for two people, and it was very spacious for one person, but after Wen Huai came, he had to squeeze in the same bed with Wen Huai, and he didn't want to sleep in the same bed with such a powerful man......

Shen Shiliu comforted: "Brother Erzhu, it's okay, I'll find a way when he really comes, and I'll definitely be able to sleep." ”

Zheng Erzhu saw that Shen Shimei didn't understand what he meant, so he looked at Du Xuanmo, now Du Xuanmo is his master, and he learns to write with Du Xuanmo every day.

Du Xuanmo smiled and said, "Just add another bed when the time comes." "Men's feelings are better understood by men.

Zheng Erzhu smiled, took the notebook and went back to his room to work hard.

Shen Shiliu picked up the pen and practiced the words stroke by stroke, her broken characters even Zheng Erzhu disliked, and she still practiced when she had time.

"You need to hold your hands steady here, don't bend them, otherwise the words you write will be frizzy and ugly." As he spoke, Du Xuanmo got up and walked behind Shen Shiliu, holding Shen Shimei's hand and teaching him one by one.

Shen Shiliu looked much better when he saw the words that had been processed by Du Xuanmo, so he said: "It's also a hand, why is my hand like a pig's trotters!" "The words I wrote were so embarrassing that I was spicy.

Du Xuanmo smiled lightly: "I have a specialization in the art industry, the hands of pomegranates just haven't practiced much, if you let me fry now, it is estimated that the pot will have to be fried!" ”

Du Niangzi originally saw that the time was almost time to leave, but when she saw that the two of them were chatting in the lobby, she delayed it for a while.

The days of happy private dishes are as always, and seeing that it is the begging festival again, Shen Shiliu pondered selling some "couple packages", studied the menu and prices for two days, wrote a notice and posted it outside.

"Dear folks, in order to give back to new and old customers, our small shop has launched a special package, single meal, double meal, family meal, all kinds of menus can be ordered, and each table will also give a fruit ice cream! If you want to eat at home, we will also deliver it to your house for free! Zheng Erzhu was picking up guests outside, and there were many people who came to ask because the price was fair, and there were many people who located them on the spot.

Shen Shiliu was satisfied, and placed more than ten orders for food delivery in such a short time, so that the location in the lobby of the store could be relaxed!

"Brother Erzhu, I will go to the city to hire ten temporary laborers in a while, and on the day of the begging festival, no one will pay a hundred yuan!" Shen Shiliu said, there are always food delivery people!

"Done!" Zheng Erzhu said that he hurried to the city and chose the right person at the right time.

Shen Shiliu returned to the back kitchen, Wen Huai is now able to do the chores in the lobby, and now he will officially teach the kitchen work.

"Do you recognize firewood, rice, oil, and salt?" Shen Shiliu asked Wen Huai.

Wen Huai nodded and said, "Sometimes I cook at home, but it doesn't taste good." ”

Shen Shiliu nodded, picked up a bottle of shrimp paste made by himself and asked Wen Huai, "Do you know what this is?" ”

Wen Huai looked at it and shook his head, not recognizing.

"It's okay, I'll say in a while, you listen." Shen Shiliu said that he said more than a dozen jars of spices next to the stove, and did not forget to let Wen Huai taste it and distinguish it well.

After Wen Huai wrote it down, Shen Shiliu said: "In a few days it will be the begging festival, and it will definitely be very busy at that time, I don't need you to be the main force, but you have to be able to do the work next to you, even if you are busy at that time, you can't be in a hurry, you will make mistakes if you are busy, and when the time comes, you will smash our signboard, and the guests will no longer come, and you will not be able to afford to eat all-you-can-eat steamed buns in the future." Shen Shiliu was scared, and Wen Huai also nodded again and again.

Du Xuanmo didn't come over at night, and Du Niangzi went to deliver food and came back, saying that she wanted to write a recital to Kyoto City. Shen Shiliu nodded, and estimated in his heart that Du Xuanmo was submitting a work report, and the days in Fengyang County were numbered.

Du Xuanmo was indeed writing a work report, but it was not for the prime minister, but for the emperor, before he proposed the issuance of national bonds, and then the implementation was quite successful, which not only solved the difficulties of the people, but also alleviated the crisis of the yamen, and let the people know the ability of the imperial court. The emperor was very happy, so he asked Xiangye to tell Du Xuanmo to write an envelope and fold it up, so that other counties and villages in the county would follow suit, and he was also full of praise for Du Xuanmo.

Xiang Ye is naturally happy, Du Xuanmo was promoted by him, and now he has been reused by the emperor, and he is very promising to serve in the court in the future, plus he is from Lianzhong Sanyuan, which can be described as a strong root and a great future, and Xiang Ye also has a heart for talent.

After the last pen was written, Du Xuanmo was half happy and half worried, happy that he finally got out of the famous hall, and worried that he was going to leave Shen Shiliu again, the two of them always got together less and left more, and Shen Shimei always shared a lot of worries for her, but he did very little for Shen Shimei, and he couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart.

…………

On the day of the Qiqiao Festival, Shen Shimei has been busy since the morning, whether it is delivering or dining in the lobby, she is not ambiguous about the ingredients.

Ten "food delivery people" in the lobby outside have arrived, and Zheng Erzhu is undergoing "pre-job training"!

"When we deliver food today, remember to take back the wooden tag they received that day, and don't run in a hurry on the way to deliver the food, if the food in the food box is spilled, the guests will be unhappy!" After Zheng Erzhu finished speaking, he showed the delivery staff what the signs looked like one by one.

"Our boss said that if you don't send an order, you will add ten more dollars, everyone must do a good job!" Zheng Erzhu said.

The people below are very excited, one hundred and fifty wen a day is not less, and ten more wen is given for running an order, which is really cost-effective!

Shen Pomegranate prepared all the things, and put the pot and stir-fried vegetables in the order according to the time of the order, as soon as the more than 20 food boxes were filled, the first wave of people led one or two food boxes out of the door, and Shen Shimei did not forget to instruct: "Don't spill it!" ”

After the first wave of people sent out, Shen Pomegranate made the second wave of dishes, and when the first wave of people came back, the second wave was delivered, and the delivery part was solved, and the part of Shen Pomegranate in the lobby was not left behind.

Dozens of takeaways were delivered at noon, Zheng Erzhu gave the recovered brand to Du Niangzi, and Du Niangzi directly entered the account, but noon was not the busiest, and the evening was the highlight.

"Pomegranate, you take a breath first, it's busier at night!" Zheng Erzhu brought ice cream, and Shen Shiliu asked ten food delivery people to eat a bowl each, the weather was quite hot, and those who ran around outside were afraid of heat stroke.

Shen Pomegranate ate the ice cream again and again while totaling these lists in the evening, today's turnover is a lot, and after the cost and manpower expenditure, it is estimated that there will be more than a dozen taels left in the end.

On the other end, the Jinfeng Restaurant is not calm, it should have been a day when the guests were full, but the Jinfeng Restaurant was not a large number, the shopkeeper Zhou was so worried that he pulled his hair, he was just the shopkeeper, and there was an owner behind him, this restaurant was not profitable, and he was the shopkeeper for a few days.

"Shopkeeper, I heard that there are a lot of happy private dishes in the back street, and there is also a begging festival couple package, and everyone has gone there!" The shopkeeper said, not to mention the high price of the dishes in Jinfeng Restaurant, and there are no fresh dishes, the poor can't afford to eat, and those who can afford to eat want to change to something fresh, and finally everyone runs to other homes!

"This Shen Pomegranate!" Shopkeeper Zhou gritted his teeth and said that he had been a shopkeeper for so many years, but he couldn't play a little girl!
