Chapter 23 The opening of the restaurant
Hu Yueya and Wang Xuelian, who used to help in Yang Xiaotao's house, heard that Yang Xiaotao was going to open a small restaurant in the town and lacked manpower, so they took the initiative to find Aunt Zhao and asked to do things.
As for Xiao Er and Mr. Settle Accounts in the store, Yang Xiaotao asked Shopkeeper Xia to help find them.
One is called Xu Yan and the other is Xu Dabao, they are two grandparents and grandchildren, and they were originally working in this small restaurant in Yang Xiaotaopan, but after the restaurant was closed, the two went home and were idle.
Shopkeeper Xia said that these two people are quite reliable and down-to-earth, and Yang Xiaotao believes in his vision.
The name of the small restaurant, Yang Xiaotao also racked his brains, so he called Yunlai Zhai, and took the guest like Yunlai, as for the plaque Xia Nansheng said that he would send it, it should be regarded as a congratulatory gift.
In the past two days, Yang Xiaotao has had a headache for Le'er, since Yuwenxiu left, Le'er has cried for a long time, and her peach-like eyes made Yang Xiaotao feel distressed, and she scolded Yuwenxiu 10,000 times in her heart.
Today, the little girl finally stopped making trouble, and she was the old man with a small mouth.
"Ah, what a lovely little girl!" Liu Yan'er was still complaining to Yang Xiaotao, but she was surprised when she saw Le'er sitting obediently at a small table by the door.
Seeing Liu Yan'er walking towards Le'er, Yang Xiaotao also followed, although Xiao Budian stopped crying, she still pouted.
"What's your name?" Liu Yan'er sat opposite Le'er.
"My name is Le'er, what is your name, beautiful sister?" Le'er looked at the beautiful Liu Yan'er in front of her, her face bulging into a small bun, and eased it slightly.
"My name is Liu Yan'er, why are you sitting here alone? Where's your mother? Liu Yan'er saw that Le'er was so cute, and couldn't help pinching her soft little face.
"This is my daughter." Yang Xiaotao replied.
"What? This beautiful little girl, is it your daughter? Liu Yan'er looked at Yang Xiaotao in disbelief.
"What? Doesn't my family look like me? Yang Xiaotao was amused by Liu Yan'er's round expression.
"Le'er looks the most like a mother, everyone says so." Le'er seemed to have forgotten about Yuwen Xiu for the time being, and said seriously.
"Sister Xiao Tao, your children are so old, why are you still in such good shape?" Liu Yan'er immediately got up and circled around Yang Xiaotao.
"Hehe, don't make trouble, you don't look like a child!" Yang Xiaotao smiled helplessly.
"Yan'er! Just mess around with yourself, don't always pester Xiao Tao, people are busy! Xia Nansheng came over and said unhappily, he used his relationship to give Yang Xiaotao's small restaurant, and it was very publicized, just look at the guests inside.
"Nansheng, thank you." Yang Xiaotao looked at Xia Nansheng who came over gratefully.
Today's first day of opening, Yang Xiaotao is very busy, although she is full of confidence in the food she makes, but if there is no relationship with Xia Nansheng, she estimates that she will have to spend time on attracting diners, Xia Nansheng's favor, Yang Xiaotao feels that she owes it.
"Thanks for what? The food you make is really delicious, and everyone loves it! Xia Nansheng's tone of voice softened a little.
"Humph!" Liu Yan'er stuck out her tongue at Xia Nansheng, then turned to Le'er and said, "Le'er, will Sister Yan'er take you to play?" ”
"Okay!" Le Er nodded her little head.
"Don't run around with fun!" Xia Nansheng looked at Liu Yan'er, who was already pulling Le'er and preparing to walk out of the door of the restaurant, and said.
As a result, Liu Yan'er ignored him, and strode out directly with Le'er, and didn't forget to turn back to Yang Xiaotao and say, "Sister Xiaotao, I'll send Le'er back in a while." He had already run away with Le'er.
Yang Xiaotao didn't chase after her, she wasn't worried, Liu Yan'er saw that although she was a pampered lady, but after getting along for a while, she would feel that she was actually just a simple person, and her joys, angers and grievances were written on her face, such a simple girl, I don't know why Xia Nansheng didn't like it.
"Crazy girl!" Xia Nansheng helplessly smiled apologetically at Yang Xiaotao.
"It's not in the way, Le'er is not in a good mood for the past two days, let Yan'er take her out to play for a while, maybe it will be better." Yang Xiaotao looked at the door and walked in a few more guests, and said to Xia Nansheng again, "Guests are here again, I'll go and get busy first, what does Nansheng want to eat?" ”
"I won't eat it, I'll go find Liu Yan'er, I'm afraid that her nonsense will hurt Le'er again." Xia Nansheng waved his hand at Yang Xiaotao.
"Well, I'll bother you!" After speaking, Yang Xiaotao walked towards the back kitchen.
Xia Nansheng looked at the disappearing figure of Yang Xiaotao, and the smile on his face became more and more gentle.
At this time, Liu Yan'er was shuttling through the streets and alleys with Le'er, Le'er was holding a sugar gourd in her hand, and the smile on her face was much brighter, and the departure of her beautiful uncle made her very sad.
But children's mood can always be affected by other fun things.
Liu Yan'er took Le'er to stop at a small stall, this small stall sells some gadgets, things are more miscellaneous, Liu Yan'er picked up a pair of small red flowers, and gestured on Le'er's little ball's hair.
"It's cuter to bring this." Liu Yan'er brought a pair of small flowers in her hand to Le'er and nodded with satisfaction.
"How much?" Liu Yan'er asked the vendor.
"The girl really has a vision, five cents." The peddler said flatteringly.
After Liu Yan'er finished paying, she took Le'er and prepared to leave.
But suddenly a few people stopped in front of them, and Le'er didn't know what was going on, so she immediately hid behind Liu Yan'er.
"Who are you? Why are you holding us back? Liu Yan'er also looked at the few people around her in confusion, and carefully protected Le'er behind her.
"Little lady, what a real water spirit!" A voice came from behind Liu Yan'er.
"Big brother, this little girl is also good-looking, and she can sell it for a good price." A man with a thief's eyebrows said flatteringly in front of the person who had just spoken.
"What do you want to do?" Liu Yan'er looked at the person who was called the eldest brother, who was a fat and disgusting bald head.
And the people around them have already run away, and around Liu Yan'er in front of them is the famous head snake in Xianghe Town, the fat man who takes the lead is called Datou, and the thief on the side is called a mouse.
Usually look at who is unhappy, it is a punch and kick, when you meet a beautiful girl, then you will directly spoil others, no one dares to provoke these people, I heard that there are people behind this big head, so everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak.
There are also people who go to the yamen, and every time they are arrested, they are released within a few days, and then the family that reports to the official is unlucky.
After a long time, no one dared to provoke them, and when they saw them, they could only hide away.
"The sound is good, too!" The big head smiled lewdly, and the fat on his face trembled with his lewd expression.
"I tell you, you'd better get out of here now, and provoke Miss Ben, Miss Ben won't spare you." Liu Yan'er tried to raise her voice as much as possible, she was actually a little scared, she grew up with a baby since she was a child, where have you seen this posture.
"Le'er is afraid!" Le'er tightly grasped the hem of Liu Yan'er's skirt in her hand, and the tears in her big eyes kept rolling.
"Don't be afraid, Le'er is good, when there is a chance, Le'er will run, do you know?" Liu Yan'er suddenly regretted it a little, and took Le'er out to play, I was afraid that it would affect Le'er, but how did she know that in this blue sky, someone dared to do this.
"Don't even think about running away, the small ones are sold in the kiln, and the big ones are kept to serve our eldest brother!" The words that came out of the mouse's mouth made Liu Yan'er very angry.
But she is a weak woman, facing the five or six big men in front of her, there is no way at all, so she can only protect Le'er tighter.
"Tie them up, be careful not to hurt them, they won't sell for a good price if they are broken." The big head waved and ordered a few of his subordinates.
Seeing a few people coming towards Liu Yan'er and them, Liu Yan'er saw a gap, pushed Le'er out of the gap and said loudly, "Le'er, run!" ”
Le'er's big eyes were full of tears at this time, but she was very smart, she had to run back to her mother quickly, so that she could save her sister.
Le Er ran while crying, and her little short legs staggered but ran forward hard.
"What are you doing? Chase! You two tie this up first. The two people who commanded directly tied Liu Yan'er's little hands behind them, and the others chased in the direction of Le'er.
Le'er stumbled forward, crashing head-on into someone's arms, it was Xia Nansheng who came out to look for them.
Xia Nansheng had seen Le'er from afar, so he hurriedly ran over and picked up Le'er.
Le'er's little face was full of tears, and she felt that someone suddenly picked her up, and her little hands were still struggling.
"Le'er, I'm Uncle Nansheng, Le'er, tell Uncle Nansheng what's wrong." Xia Nansheng looked at the turbulent Le Er in his arms, didn't know what was going on, and gently comforted him.
Le'er opened her big eyes full of tears, saw Xia Nansheng's face in front of her, and immediately cried, crying and sobbing and saying, "Bad guy, woo bad guy caught Sister Woo!" ”
And the few people who were chasing Le'er had already caught up, and when they saw the little girl they were chasing crying in a man's arms, they thought it was nosy, so they said, "Boy, I advise you not to be nosy, you provoke our eldest brother, so that you can't eat and walk around." ”
"Huh?" Xia Nansheng put away his always gentle expression, and his voice was obviously a little colder, and he handed Le'er into the arms of the entourage behind him and said, "You send Le'er to Yunlai Restaurant first and hand it over to her mother." ”
"Yes!" An entourage replied, of course he knew that his young master was talking about Yang Xiaotao, and the young master had put a lot of thought into this star fruit's restaurant in the past few days.
"Put people down!" Seeing that someone was going to take the little girl away, the people who chased her immediately wanted to surround her.
Xia Nansheng stepped forward and stopped them.
Seeing the people walking away, Xia Nansheng said coldly, "Where is Liu Yan'er?" ”
Although I don't know who Liu Yan'er is that the man in front of me is talking about, if I just let go of the person in front of me, I will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.
"Rubbish! What about the little girl you chase? At this time, the big head had already rushed over with the tied Liu Yan'er, and when he saw his own people, he was actually standing here and talking with others, and he immediately became angry.
At this time, Liu Yan'er was stuffed with a cloth in her small mouth, and she saw Xia Nansheng, shaking her head vigorously, struggling with her arm that was grabbed.
"Big brother, this is the person who meddles in our way and stands in our way." A little minion saw that his eldest brother was angry, and immediately pointed to Xia Nansheng who was standing there and said.
