Chapter 104: Handing the Bricks

Shen Shiliu looked at the fellow in front of him and had a sense of going to the Africans to sell shoes, and finally asked about the price of the dish, although it was a little more expensive than in Anyang County, but fortunately, it was not too expensive.

After setting the day for food delivery, Shen Shiliu hurried home to prepare to write the menu, and all the procedures were also gone through before, and this time it was all done smoothly.

"There's someone out there!" Zheng said, Shen Shiliu hurriedly went out to have a look, and saw that it was Wang Zhutou.

"Wang Zhutou? Why are you free? ”

Wang Zhutou smiled: "Lord Du asked me to send something to the girl!" After speaking, he let go of the things behind him, and Shen Shiliu looked at the size and asked, "Is it a plaque?" ”

"Exactly!" Wang Zhutou lifted the cloth covered by the plaque as he spoke, and inside was a small plaque, the handwriting on it was also very familiar to Shen Pomegranate, Du Xuanmo personally wrote the five big characters of "Happy Private Dishes", and there were a few small characters below, which said the Fengyang County branch, which could be said to be clearly arranged.

Shen Shiliu said with a smile: "There is really a lack of such a plaque!" After speaking, he turned to Wang Zhutou and said, "It's really hard for Wang Zhutou to run this trip!" ”

"Where, where, it's just a matter of raising your hands!" Wang Zhutou said with a smile, Wang Zhutou was actually worried that Shen Shimei would hold a grudge because he was going to introduce his sister-in-law to Du Xuanmo before, but now when he saw that Shen Shimei was not such a careful person to hold a grudge, his heart was put back in his stomach.

As soon as the plaque arrived, Shen's father and Zheng Erzhu hung it on the door together. Shen Shiliu looked at the plaque that had been hung, and felt that this small shop was getting more and more beautiful.

After a busy day, Shen Pomegranate picks vegetables and washes vegetables at night, tomorrow is the official opening day, and everything must be prepared today, so as not to make mistakes in the busy schedule tomorrow.

"Rest early, the rest of the mother will come!" Zheng said, there are four people in total, and Shen Pomegranate alone can top three, even if her physique is good, she is afraid that Shen Pomegranate will be exhausted.

Shen Shiliu raised his head and said: "It's okay mother, I can't be tired of choosing vegetables and washing vegetables, my mother and father should rest first, it's enough for me to have Brother Erzhu here!" ”

As soon as Zheng heard this, he prepared some tea and fruits, and told Shen Pomegranate to remember to eat if he was hungry.

Shen Shiliu responded, and then continued to work with Zheng Erzhu.

Zheng Erzhu transported the firewood to the back kitchen little by little, and arranged a stack of firewood neatly, and then came over to sit down and peel garlic.

"Pomegranate, why do you say you are so capable, you are more powerful than men these days!" Zheng Erzhu said that he is not much older than Shen Pomegranate, and the boys of the same age in the village are probably helping the family with the work in the fields, or doing some light work of weeding, and they may not be able to do it for a while before they have to complain.

Shen Shiliu smiled, the main thing she can do is to be able to toss, after all, the soul in this body is not fifteen years old, and she has a spectrum of what she wants to do in her heart, and she is no longer in the mood to play.

"What is so powerful about men, it is nothing more than having more strength than women, if a woman's mind is used well, she can hire someone to do it, and women are not weak in strength!" Shen Shiliu said that she pondered that everything in the world has various connections, and as long as this connection is managed, survival can still be very easy.

Zheng Erzhu didn't understand it, but he still understood the meaning, and said, "Pomegranate, why are you so smart?" ”

"Hehe, learn more and watch more, people will become smarter, it's okay Brother Erzhu, you will also become smart in the future!" Shen Shiliu said that in the future, she will have to train Zheng Erzhu well, although she is running the hall and doing chores now, if she still opens a branch in the future, she will also let Zheng Erzhu work hard to the position of "store manager".

Zheng Erzhu smiled stupidly, and Shen Shimei hurried to work, until the middle of the moon, Shen Shimei prepared all the ingredients to be used tomorrow, and the time-consuming ones were also done in advance, so that tomorrow would be foolproof!

Early the next morning, Shen Shiliu set off firecrackers at the door, and many pedestrians on the road were attracted to it, wondering which one was the head iron, and opened a restaurant in this place.

"Neighbors, our shop officially opened today, in order to express the sincerity of our shop, today we put mutton soup at the door for free, one bowl per person, no penny! Bring your own bowl and a big scoop per person! Zheng Erzhu shouted at the door.

Shen Shimei lay in bed yesterday and pondered, although the disaster in Fengyang County had little impact on the rich, but her restaurant is not only for the rich, but always to attract some "working-class" people to cheer, so it was decided to put the broth for free, after everyone tasted it, at least the sales of the broth in the future will be opened, after all, the broth is cheap!

Sure enough, as soon as Zheng Erzhu's voice fell, all the big guys came over to join in the fun, and some of them were so fast that they could take advantage of them, and they had already hurried home to find a bowl, and a long queue soon formed in front of the table where they received the soup for free.

Shen Shiliu stood at the door of the small shop, looking at the long queue, feeling a little steady, the sign at the door had already written today's signature special menu, and slowly some customers went inside.

Zheng greeted the guests who received the free soup at the door, and while putting the soup in everyone, everyone must visit the small shop more, Shen's father helped run the hall inside, and Shen Pomegranate was making a big spoon in the back kitchen.

The oil pot is hot, a handful of dried chili peppers are put into the pot, the spicy air is cooked out at once, and the tied chicken is a stir-fry, and the side dishes are all put away, and the Shen pomegranate is out of the pot.

"Spicy chicken is served!" Shen Shiliu shouted, and Zheng Erzhu outside came over to serve the food, and there were more and more guests in the lobby.

"Brother Erzhu, has Aunt Du arrived at the door?" Shen Shiliu asked.

Zheng Erzhu came in from outside and said, "It's here, just arrived!" ”

"Find a place to wait a while, and you'll be fine in a minute!" Shen Shiliu said that she had to get Du Xuanmo and Du Niangzi's meals out at noon.

Du Niangzi in the lobby saw that there were so many people in Shen Shimei's restaurant, so she waited for a while, and after a while, Zheng Erzhu came out with a food box.

"Aunt Du, this is a pomegranate prepared, and it is definitely enough for the two of you to eat!" Zheng Erzhu wiped his sweat and said, he was too busy.

As soon as Du Niangzi saw so many people at noon, she said to Zheng Erzhu: "You tell Pomegranate, next time I can come after the meal, and I won't be able to make trouble when I'm busiest!" ”

Hearing what Du Niangzi said, Zheng Erzhu hurriedly agreed, and Du Niangzi was reasonable.

Du Niangzi took the food box and ran to the yamen, Du Xuanmo looked at the dishes in the food box, and said, "Made of pomegranates?" ”

"Isn't it, her restaurant is open today, I just went to see it, and there are a lot of people!" Du Niangzi said.

Du Xuanmo nodded, ate with Du Niangzi, and asked: "She has a lot of people, next time my mother won't rush to the meal, let's go after the meal." ”

Du Niangzi laughed angrily: "As far as you know, I feel sorry for her, I have already said it, let her not be too busy." Alas, in fact, in the final analysis, it is still a mother's craftsmanship, otherwise you don't have to be tired of pomegranates to make you and me! ”

Du Xuanmo smiled, Du Niangzi's attitude towards Shen Pomegranate has also changed a little these days, she was helpless before, but now she has accepted Shen Pomegranate.

"In the future, Pomegranate will marry, and my mother will be nice to her!" Du Xuanmo said.

Du Niangzi scolded with a smile: "Your mother seems to be a cautious person, can you still learn from your daughter-in-law?" I'm just a son like you, as long as you're good, my mother doesn't have any luxury! ”

Du Xuanmo smiled, the mother and son had a rare meal.

Du Xuanmo was finally busy in the afternoon, seeing that the spring sowing had almost been carried out, and the seeds of the following families had also been dialed down, Du Xuanmo was worried that the matter of deducting food from the villages before was not over, so he directly took people and went to the village below Fengyang County in plain clothes.

The previous old woman Du Xuanmo had asked Wang Zhutou to contact his family, and his mother-in-law's son Wang Laoshi brought his daughter-in-law to pick up people, and he went home after thanking him.

Today, Du Xuanmo went to the house of this mother-in-law Wang.

When he arrived in the village, Du Xuanmo inquired about where Granny Wang's house lived, and when he went, he happened to see Granny Wang watching her little grandson in the yard.

"Mother-in-law, do you remember me?" Du Xuanmo shouted outside the fence courtyard, Granny Wang raised her head, her eyes narrowed, and she hurriedly came over to open the door after seeing the person who came.

"I know, I know, Lord Du is my benefactor!" As she spoke, Granny Wang invited Du Xuanmo into the courtyard.

Wang Laoshi also came out of the house with his daughter-in-law at this time, and he was also sincerely afraid when he saw Du Xuanmo.

"Lord Du, the grass people have seen Lord Du!" Wang Laoshi led his daughter-in-law to kneel, but was helped up by Du Xuanmo, and then said: "I'm just here to see today, someone deducted the old man's rations before, and I'll check it today, and I have to ask you to help me!" ”

Wang Laoshi is a man who is not very courageous, but his daughter-in-law is very powerful, so he said directly: "If Lord Du wants us to tie up, just say that since he is here to investigate and withhold food, it is for the sake of our common people to make decisions, and what I hate most is those corrupt officials!" "That day, Granny Wang was lost, and the couple searched for two days, looking around to find someone in the yamen, and they had to find a place to vent this evil anger in their hearts, and now the time to need her has come, she is waiting to see these corrupt officials get off the horse one by one!

Du Xuanmo smiled, and it was indeed a lot smoother to work with the people.

One afternoon, Du Xuanmo went to many homes, all of them had old people in the family but did not give rations, Du Xuanmo recorded them one by one, and then asked the people to draw a detainment, as for who put the grain, and then who deducted the grain, he also checked it out!

"Folks, originally our old people should also have rations, the officials above didn't understand the situation below us at first, so the villagers were wronged, I went back today, I must take care of it, I owed everyone the food before, and soon it will be reissued to the villagers, and the villagers are patient and wait!" Du Xuanmo tried to speak as clearly as possible, so as not to chill the court in the hearts of the common people. 、

With Du Xuanmo's words, the villagers also took the reassurance, many people cried, and the old people in the family were finally able to eat.

Du Xuanmo hurriedly returned to Fengyang County with the things investigated, and the things in it seemed to be the affairs of small officials on the surface, but many of them were related to the big officials in Kyoto.

After finishing the "bricks" overnight, Du Xuanmo sent these things directly to Kyoto City early the next morning, there was Xiangye on it, he only needed to hand over a brick, and the rest of the bricks Xiangye would shoot out the flowers!
