Chapter 134: A Chance Encounter

Shen Shiliu saw that it was not too early and it was time to go home, so he went to the front to find Du Xuanmo, Du Xuanmo and Liang Weizheng and the Lin family's mother and daughter said goodbye, and then left the Lin family with Shen Shimei.

"Sister Shuang doesn't seem to have any ideas, and she is afraid that Aunt Lin's reputation will be affected by her widowhood for a lifetime, so she is not ready to marry." Shen Shiliu told Lin Shuang about it.

Du Xuanmo sighed: "For the sake of the main brother, I don't dare to tell the family, I have seen enough of this matter between the two of them, and you should die of it." Shen Shiliu paid special attention to this matter.

Shen Shimei actually felt sorry for Lin Shuang, and Liang Weizheng would be good if he had a little more courage.

The two of them walked all the way home, and it was getting dark, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians during the day.

Du Xuanmo walked and walked, and suddenly stopped, Shen Shiliu glanced at Du Xuanmo in wonder, and found that Du Xuanmo's eyes were looking ahead, and his brows were still furrowed.

Following Du Xuanmo's gaze, Shen Shimei was also stunned, Du Xuanmo said that she saw Sun Tianba on the street, she thought that Du Xuanmo had seen it wrong, but she didn't expect Sun Tianba to be in front of her at this time.

"Sun Dashao? How are you in Kyoto City? Shen Shiliu asked in surprise, the person in front of him was indeed Sun Tianba, it was not a mistake.

Sun Tianba took two steps forward, he didn't expect it to be so coincidental, he met Shen Pomegranate on the street, but since he did, he had to say a few words so as not to seem too cowardly.

"Shen Shimei, why can't I be in Kyoto City?" Sun Tianba still spoke with grinning teeth as always, especially with Shen Shimei.

Du Xuanmo didn't know what Sun Tianba came to Kyoto City for, but no matter what he was for, he also directly classified Sun Tianba into the team of "rivals in love", so naturally he wouldn't give a good face.

Shen Shiliu didn't pay attention to Du Xuanmo's state next to him, so he smiled and said to Sun Tianba: "I haven't seen you for so long, you still haven't changed at all!" "It's still like that!

Sun Tianba also smiled, he has been in Kyoto City for a while, Du Xuanmo is now a celebrity in Kyoto City, he knows where Shen Shimei lives now, but Shen Shimei is already married, Du Xuanmo is in the limelight, but he has no fame, so he has never appeared in front of the two.

"You've changed, you're married." After Sun Tianba finished speaking, he said: "I live with my relatives, and I will leave first if I have something to do, and I will live in the innermost house in Yangliu Hutong when I have time." ”

"Cheng, we are also fellow villagers!" Going out and huddling with fellow villagers can solve a lot of problems.

Sun Tianba left after speaking, and glanced at Du Xuanmo when he left, of course, he couldn't be expected to say anything good to Du Xuanmo, and if he didn't speak, he would be less troublesome.

Du Xuanmo saw that Sun Tianba was gone, so he said to Shen Shiliu: "He should have come to Kyoto City to seek fame. ”

"Scientific expedition? Isn't it going to take another three years? Shen Shiliu was puzzled, there were still more than two years to go to Kyoto City, and it was inevitable that he would come to Kyoto City at this time.

Du Xuanmo shook his head: "The Hanlin Academy now accepts a wide range of disciples, and many students want to come over and find a career. "He knows about the question of origin, there is also a layer of this relationship in the original worship of the scholar Xu Mao as a teacher, Sun Tianba was originally a child of an official eunuch, and if he seeks another background, he will help him a lot in the future.

Shen Shiliu nodded, but still smiled: "Sun Tianba has always been unlearned and unskilled, even if he has a background, then he has to pass the first level of the scientific examination first, I don't think it's easy." It's not that she looks down on Sun Tianba, but that's how Sun Tianba feels for her.

"Everything can't be directly decided, there are also the kind of people who don't learn on weekdays but are a blockbuster, I think this Sun Tianba is not a dull person, maybe some achievements may not be said." Du Xuanmo said that the analysis was quite rational.

Shen Shiliu smiled: "Isn't that better, we are all fellow villagers, if you really say that he is an official, then the two of you can also help each other." ”

Du Xuanmo smiled bitterly, it would be nice if this was the case, he looked at Sun Tianba like that, he really said that he was powerful, and it was possible to do anything with him!

The two went home and told Du Niangzi about meeting Sun Tianba, Du Niangzi had a headache, she and Sun Tianba didn't celebrate the festival directly, but they almost let Du Xuanmo be Sun Tianba's brother-in-law, which was always a little embarrassing.

A year passed peacefully, before the New Year, the shops on the street were basically all opened, and some began to open on the sixth day of the new year, and the fast pace of Kyoto City made Shen Shiliu feel familiar.

"It seems that no matter where you are, the pace of a prosperous place is fast!" Shen Shiliu said, turning around the street, Shen Shiliu set up tables and chairs again.

There are all kinds of good stores in Kyoto City, Shen Shiliu pondered that although he opened a small store, if the interior decoration was too poor, it would not attract customers with purchasing power.

The tables, chairs and benches she bought were all transported back and placed in the yard, she didn't dare to buy too much, the configuration of ten sets of tables and stools, plus a counter, basically met the standard configuration of a restaurant, and the rest was made up after the store was all renovated.

In mid-February, Shen Shiliu felt that the weather was getting warmer and he didn't have to wait until March to start construction, so he asked Zheng Erzhu to find a master and come back.

Shen pomegranate drawings have been drawn almost, although not accurate to the rice, but the proportion is still accurate, the master took the job, and negotiated the price, and began to work.

As soon as Du Xuanmo came back from outside, he heard that the back door had begun to work, and he also came over to join in the fun.

Shen Shimei is asking Xiao Tie to bring water to several masters to drink, these masters are quick enough to dismantle their hands and feet, and in just one day, what should be dismantled is almost dismantled.

"It's pretty fast!" Du Xuanmo walked over and said.

Shen Shiliu nodded: "The sooner it is done, it can be opened earlier, although it is fast to dismantle, but it will take time to rebuild, and it will take two months to decorate it again." The interior of the house here is all wooden structure, and she gave the money to buy wood directly to the master, and she is not afraid of losing money when she makes a good budget, and she also saves herself from running around.

Du Xuanmo saw that Shen Shimei's forehead was sweating, so he put the cloak on Shen Shimei's body.

"The weather is still cold, you are sweating, and there will be a gust of wind in a while, and you will suffer from the cold." Du Xuanmo said with concern.

Shen Shimei's heart is sweet, Du Xuanmo is really considerate! Sometimes a woman's feelings for a man are a way to calculate the plus points, even if it is a little thing, the woman will keep it in mind, even if she gets angry and quarrels in the future, the first thing a woman recalls is the beauty of the man at the beginning, few people will directly turn over the old accounts and think of the man's shortcomings, women's hearts are actually very soft.

Shen Shiliu saw that it was not early, so he said, "You go back to the room first and wait for a while, dinner will be right away!" With that, he went to the kitchen first.

Calling Wen Huai over, Shen Shiliu took advantage of the opportunity of the large number of people in the family to continue to teach Wen Huai to cook.

"Today's dishes are not difficult, if you do it badly, don't expect to use it to fool those working masters, your master and I are afraid of smashing the signboard!" Shen Shiliu said.

Wen Huai nodded honestly, and then followed Shen Shimei to learn, Shen Pomegranate finished a pot, and then looked at Wen Huai's pot, his face was green.

"The vegetables are old, and the water on them must be drained well when the vegetables are put into the pot, otherwise they will be stewed in a mess!" Shen Shimei tasted it and said, "The seasoning is good, but you can eat this pot yourself at night, I'll make another one, you have to watch it this time!" As he spoke, he made another plate, and Wen Huai next to him looked crying, but he still had to continue to study, which was very inspiring.

In the evening, Shen Shiliu arranged everyone's food before going back to eat, Du Niangzi saw that Wen Huai didn't come to eat and asked, Shen Shiliu smiled and said, "It's okay, he's not hungry!" ”

Wen Huai was holding a pot of fried old vegetables in the room, although it tasted good, but he was used to eating the food made by Shen Pomegranate, and his mouth became tighter, and he always felt that this fried thing was really not a thing!

Two months passed quickly, Shen Pomegranate stared at it at first, because he was afraid that the master would not follow the drawings, but these masters were very accurate, the foundation, and the layout and Shen Pomegranate drew the drawings almost perfectly, and then Shen Pomegranate didn't have to worry about it anymore.

"Master, these menus are very new!" Wen Huai looked at Shen Shiliu and wrote a total of five sets of menus, which included old and new dishes.

"Well, I heard that there are many imperial chefs from the palace in those big restaurants, as well as imperial chef apprentices, if we want to stand still, we have to win by surprise!" No matter how delicious the things in the palace are, she is tired of eating them every day, so she has to constantly innovate the menu, so that customers can eat fresh dishes to hook customers to always come!

After Shen Pomegranate finished studying the menu, he handed over all his new dishes to Wen Huai, and taught them several times if he couldn't learn it once, Wen Huai ate his own failed products for two months in a row, and Shen Pomegranate didn't blame him, but the masters who built the house gained weight twice in two months.

"Young grandma, those masters said that the house has been completed, let you go and take a look!" Cucumbers come to the kitchen to find Shen Pomegranate.

Shen Shiliu answered, washed his hands and went.

Just looking at the external structure, it is exactly the same as I thought, even the façade plaque is also neat, the decoration inside is also very careful, the "wooden" wall, and the carved hollow, although not very tall, but it is very unique. The front façade is very close to the people, and it looks clean, and the words on the plaque are also Du Xuanmo's ink treasures, and a store has become like this!

"The kitchen is also according to the young grandmother's meaning, and the stove is definitely enough!" After the master finished speaking, Shen Shiliu nodded, "Very good, I'm very satisfied, I'll settle the bill in a while!" "People do such a beautiful job, they should be given no less money, and they have to provide a meal at the end!

The masters are very happy, they don't give much money, and their food is so good these days, they used to make a big pot of rice in other houses, how can they have such a good treatment!

"In the future, my small restaurant will open and several chefs will also come to cheer, absolutely good quality and low price!" Shen Shiliu said with a smile.

"Such a delicious meal is sure to be a hit!" The master said that there are a lot of restaurants in Kyoto City, but they can't get into the mud legs with such efforts, and they want to satisfy their cravings if they are good and cheap!

The masters were full of food and drink and took the money before they said goodbye, and Shen Shimei couldn't be idle, and there was more work to do tomorrow.
