Chapter 12: Chinese New Year

On the day of Laba, Yan Xiaowu asked the restaurant to boil Laba porridge, and Zhang Zuben asked people to give Laba porridge to poor families and beggars for free on the street.

As a result, the Bafang Hotel has won another reputation.

A guest from Yangbai Prefecture said casually, "If only this Bafang Hotel were opened in Yangbai Prefecture, I wouldn't have to go so far." ”

This sentence was heard by the young man and told Zhang Zuben, who also thought about this problem. If the Bafang Hotel is opened in Yangbai Prefecture, it will not only make more money, but also take care of Yan Xiaowu, which is definitely a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

But he was a little reluctant to be here. The Bafang Hotel here has just improved, and if he leaves, the guys here will be unemployed again.

"Well, we can open a chain store. Happo Hotel can open a branch. Yan Xiaowu said to Zhang Zuben.

Then Yan Xiaowu roughly told Zhang Zuben what the chain store was and what was going on with the branch.

Zhang Zuben was very happy after hearing this, but he immediately made another difficulty. What about this manpower, cook, or something?

Yan Xiaowu thought for a while, "Why don't you wait for the end of the New Year, let's have a recruitment, and then the whole training?" ”

On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, after the Bafang Hotel opened at noon, it was temporarily closed.

Zhang Zuben gave red envelopes to the chefs and guys of the restaurant, and everyone pinched the thick red envelopes, smiling happily, and recognized Zhang Zuben as the owner in their hearts.

In the evening, Zhang Zuben sat at a table with Yan Xiaowu and Gao Sen, and lights were lit all around, Zhang Zuben personally arranged a table of dishes, and there was a hot pot in the middle of the table, and wine was poured on it.

Because it was Chinese New Year's Eve, the servants were busy all day, and breakfast and lunch were all cushioned and improvised to deal with. Now looking at the table of dishes and hot pot, as well as wine, I suddenly have an appetite.

"Eat, this is the venison that Gao Sen brought, I pickled it and dried it. This wine is the osmanthus wine made last year, buried in the original porridge shop, and now I remembered it and dug it up. ”

"It's so fragrant" Yan Xiaowu smelled the fragrance of osmanthus wine, and couldn't help but think of the back garden of the palace in the past, there were a lot of flowers, and the queen mother liked flowers the most, and sometimes she took care of the flowers and plants herself.

Gao Sen drank a little osmanthus wine and changed to white soju. When they were excited, they touched a drink and dried it up.

Gao Sen suddenly stood up and said loudly, "Next spring, Xiao Wu will go to Wenguang Academy, and he will go to the official career in the future." Zuben, you can open a branch and make money! As long as it gets in the way of Xiao Wu's career, I will kill him! If it hinders the ancestral capital to make money, kill and kill! Come! Let's do it! ”

Zhang Zuben may have drunk high, raise a cup, kill! Dry!

Yan Xiaowu saw this atmosphere, so he had no choice but to raise his glass and drink.

Oh my God, this wine is dry and confused, but how does it feel so abnormal! He went up again and killed people.

Yan Xiaowu now has his own bed, so he doesn't have to listen to Gao Sen and Zhang Zuben's snoring.

The next morning, Yan Xiaowu got up, and Zhang Zuben had already prepared the red envelope.

Takamori slept a little longer. When he woke up, he saw Yan Xiaowu grinning at him by the bed, "Happy New Year!" What about my red envelope? ”

Gao Sen reached under the pillow and touched it, found a red envelope, and also found a dart.

Yan Xiaowu looked at the darts and said excitedly, "Darts? Sent me? ”

Gao Sen nodded, Yan Xiaowu happily "snorted", took the red envelope and darts, and ran out to play.

At this time, several trees in the backyard of the hotel were damaged, and Yan Xiaowu was pierced a lot.

I was playing hard when the sky was snowing, and it was snowing!

As the saying goes, the first dumpling is the first two noodles, the first three are going home, the fourth day is scrambled eggs, the fifth day is pinched on the villain's mouth, and the seventh day is to eat longevity noodles.

Back in the house, Zhang Zuben had already served steaming dumplings.

After eating the dumplings, Gao Sen planned to go back to the house and lie down. Yan Xiaowu took out a deck of playing cards that he had made with thin pieces of wood before, "Let's play cards, right?" Lose the painted mustache! ”

Gao Sen then understood what Yan Xiaowu used to use a knife to smash wood chips for.

Yan Xiaowu talked about how to play poker, in fact, this is still taught by An Fanghua. Gao Sen and Zhang Zuben learned it quickly and played very energetically.

was playing, and I heard a knock outside the door, "Is Brother Gao there?" ”

In front of the Happo Hotel is the hotel, and there are several rooms in the backyard, and when you enter through the back door, it looks like a small single courtyard. I have to say that the functionality of the Juxiang Building that Hu Dongjia was renovated back then was still good. Convenient to have a place to stay when you are not coming home.

Anyway, Zhang Zuben's original porridge shop has been sold out, and the men are now living in the backyard of the hotel, and there is nothing inconvenient for each other. I also save renting a house.

Listening to the voice of the person who knocked on the door, it was Liu Yunying, a girl from Liu Linfeng's family at the Liu family noodle restaurant not far from the Bafang Hotel.

Recently, for some reason, I often come to Takamori every now and then. Every time, I either bring some bacon, or I take an insoles. In short, I didn't come empty-handed.

"I'll see what's delicious!" Yan Xiaowu got up and was about to run out.

Gao Sen's eyes were quick, he grabbed him, and made a "shhh "Don't make a sound, pretend no one."

Yan Xiaowu didn't care, he shouted loudly, Brother Sen said, put things at the door, you can go.

Gao Sen was so angry that he kicked Yan Xiaowu with a look. Yan Xiaowu jumped to open the door.

Yan Xiaowu led Liu Yunying into the house, and Zhang Zuben had already put away the cards. Liu Yunying saw the "beard" on Gao Sen's face, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief, and was about to step forward to wipe it: "This is the New Year, why is the ink still on the face?" ”

At a second look, the other two also had their faces.

"We're drawing and playing." Yan Xiaowu said.

Zhang Zuben took Yan Xiaowu out to wash his face, and Gao Sen was also going out, but Zhang Zuben said, "When people come to you, you will accompany them." ”

Gao Sen didn't listen, with a black face, he threw down a sentence, "I want to accompany you." And he went out. Only Liu Yunying stood there awkwardly, looking at Zhang Zuben aggrievedly.

Zhang Zuben hurriedly went to wash his face, and when he came back and saw that Liu Yunying hadn't left, he said embarrassedly, "That kid is like this, don't take it to heart." ”

Liu Yunying is 16 years old, and she is a symbol girl on this street. Takamori is tall and handsome, and lives with the owner of the hotel and his brother. Presumably, there is still a lot of gold. As soon as they came here, Liu Yunying noticed Gao Sen.

It is said that women chase men's compartment yarns. Liu Yunying rushed to chase Gao Sen like this, so obviously, Gao Sen was stunned to reject people thousands of miles away.

Zhang Zuben also said that Gao Sen, who is almost twenty years old, can consider getting married and living a stable life. But Gao Sen came up and asked, "You're almost thirty, aren't you also married?" ”

It's not that Zhang Zu didn't want to get married, but his mother was sick and delayed.
