"It's good to be back! It's good to be back! Granny Cai hugged her daughter-in-law and cried.

Since the death of her only son, Dou E can be said to be Cai Po's only relative, plus Dou E can't bear to see herself tortured to death, even though Cai Po is affectionate, she was also moved by Dou E, and the two of them hugged their heads and cried.

"Granny Cai, this is sent from above, you have taken it!" Behind Dou E, two officials walked in with two large boxes and said with a smile on their faces.

"From above?" Cai Po's face was full of suspicion, and the official continued, "The Prime Minister is really the world's blue sky, and it only took three days to find out the truth of the case, and found that Zhang Donkey colluded with that Sailu doctor to wronged Dou Niangzi, and she was almost beheaded?" ”

"The Prime Minister Mingjing hung high, re-judged the case, and beheaded Zhang Donkey to the Autumn Queen, and at the same time copied all the property of the Zhang family and the Sai family. Among them, the land property was exchanged for gold and silver, and then it was packed into these two boxes as compensation and given to Miss Dou E! The official explained with a smile.

"Lord Qingtian! It's really a big man! When Cai Po heard this, she immediately shouted and knelt on the ground, kowtowing frantically to the yamen.

Dou E naturally knelt down and kowtowed together.

After the forehead was red and swollen, Cai Po and Dou E got up. Cai Po opened the box on the spot and found that there were actually no very valuable items in it, after all, Zhang Donkey's family and Sailuyi's family were all in shabby, and the boxes were basically filled with some ordinary things.

However, the gold and silver were put together, but there were as many as three hundred taels, which was the silver obtained by selling all the properties of these two families to the squires, and it was also the most valuable root of these two families, but at this time they were cheaper than Cai Po's family.

"Two officials, thank you for your escort, these are just tea money!" Cai Po is a sensible person, and immediately estimated three taels of silver from the silver and handed it over to the three officials who escorted him all the way.

"Thank you Po Cai for your love!" The three officials took the silver with a smile on their faces, and everyone was immediately happy, and then Dou E also saw the opportunity, gritted her teeth, and asked a question that she had been concerned about, "Three adults, dare to ask Zhang Engong, who saved my life, how is it now?" ”

When Cai Po heard this name, her face suddenly changed, and she pulled her daughter-in-law and whispered, "You little thing that doesn't want to die, ask what the person who was cut a thousand times is doing, don't miss the life of our family!" ”

"Might as well be!" When the three officials heard this, they shook their heads and said, "This Zhang Ying...... The criminal Zhang Fei is still staying in the prison with good food and drink, but the brothers who guard the prison have died hundreds of people one after another. Especially half a month ago, the entire good man who commanded thousands of households was gone, and the blood was flowing, I heard that it was the anti-thief of the Jingjiao who did it! ”

"But Zhang Yingying really understands the righteousness, and he has been staying in prison since he left with those thieves of Jingjiao, so people have to say a word of obedience!" The three officials sighed and said, "It's a pity, we heard from the family of the old man that this Zhang Fei is certain to die, and he must be executed by Ling Chi, pity such a heroic figure!" ”

"What!" When Dou E heard the word Ling Chi, her face changed greatly, and the whole person almost fainted directly, but it was only after a few officials supported her that there was no accident.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that Dou E woke up leisurely, and then she heard Cai Po say, "E'er, you broken thing, you finally picked up a life, don't talk about that man!" ”

"I know that man saved your life, and my miserable child died early, if you want to obey him, I don't care about my wife, as long as he can help my wife and son die in the future. But he has already suffered a thousand knives, and it is already a monstrous luck that you can come back safely, if you get into it again, won't our family be doomed, and no one will cut off your head to save people this time! ”

Cai Po chattered, Dou E listened with tears on her face, waiting for the dawn of the next day, Dou E said, "Mother-in-law, I understand what you mean, I won't think about him anymore, but I just want to send him off when he leaves, you can see it!" ”

"Good! Whatever you want! Whatever you want! Cai Po nodded happily, and then said, "Good daughter-in-law, mother-in-law and you discuss things, you must promise your mother-in-law." ”

"Mother-in-law, please speak, Hugh is going to torture his daughter-in-law."

"Hey, didn't you get three hundred taels of compensation this time? If outsiders know about this money, we must not cause trouble, and we will not be able to wake up and return to Huangquan, and we don't even know who killed them! ”

"Even if you don't die, I don't know how many people will come to fight the autumn breeze, and they will all be authentic relatives when the time comes, and you can't refuse."

"So the old woman thinks, this silver is a disaster to stay at home, it is better to spend it directly, we two women are not able to plant fields, it is better to set up a shop, sell some tea, rice and noodles or something, so that you can not be cold and hungry, but also have the capital to settle down, and at the same time there is no cash to attract people's eyes."

"And the shop can be discounted at any time, and if you need money, you sell it, and the money will come back. And if you have this store, you will also have the capital, and in the future, you can also recruit a simple and honest man to run the family business and provide for my old age. ”

"But I only have one thing, that is, this future grandson must be included in my Cai family tree and continue the incense for my Cai family!" Cai Po's husband's surname is Cai, and she followed her husband's surname after she got married, and over time, no one knew what Cai Po's original surname was.

"Listen to your mother-in-law!" Dou E immediately agreed, and after hesitating for a while, he said, "Mother-in-law, when I came back from the government, I happened to see a restaurant to be sold out, with a ten-zhang façade, a three-story small building, and seven or eight wings inside, just in the archway of Zhuma Street, where people come and go on weekdays, and the boss sells eagerly, only 500 taels!" ”

"500 taels, so cheap!" Cai Po was happy to hear it, this is the state city of Chuzhou, itself is extremely prosperous, and Zhuma Street is the most prosperous street in Chuzhou, the street is the government and various commercial banks silver number, people come and go, if you can buy such a big restaurant in Zhuma Street, but only 500 taels of silver, it is really not good, after all, there is no thousand taels of silver on weekdays, it is impossible to buy how good a shop.

"Hurry up, let's go and see it today, my wife still has some coffin books, it's not difficult to get together 500 taels of silver!" Cai Po took Dou E to see the restaurant the next day, and it was indeed so.

Goodbye to the proprietor, the proprietor said that this was the industry of the Fuwei Dart Bureau in Fu Province next door, but the Fuwei Dart Bureau seemed to have encountered a catastrophe, and it was in urgent need of money to shrink the industry, so it could only sell the industry quickly, which was cheap, if it was in the past, less than a thousand taels of silver would never be sold.

Cai Po was even happier when she heard it, but she was also cautious, she went to the yamen to find someone to check the title deed documents, and spent money to ask the local government to be a guarantee, and finally bought this shop for 500 taels of snowflake silver, and the Cai family can be regarded as a person with an industry in Chuzhou City.

It's just that this restaurant was bought, and Cai Po couldn't help but hesitate a little, not knowing what to do for a living.

Originally, Cai Po thought that it was simple and safe to buy and sell tea, rice and grain.

However, this restaurant is so big, if it only sells tea and rice grain, it will be a bit of a waste of the shops along the street. The best result is naturally to continue to do restaurants.

But Cai Po and Dou E are just mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, if they are a restaurant, they must invite cooks, buddies, bartenders, etc., and they have to get a handful of people, not to mention the monthly salary, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not at ease living with so many outsiders.

It's best for Dou E to have an idea, she said, "Mother-in-law, the restaurant is definitely not good, we don't have the skills and ability, and the monthly capital is also very large, and the family will lose everything." ”

"But you can't do a small business, so it's better for us to make a noodle restaurant, just sell noodle soup, who doesn't know that your mother-in-law's first-hand noodle soup juice is a must in Chuzhou, and even the county magistrate was full of praise after eating it!"

"When the time comes, you will recruit a healthy woman to cook noodles and soup in the back kitchen, and make a good juice. The daughter-in-law and her father have learned the word, and they have also played abacus, entertaining guests in front, settling accounts, cleaning and wiping the table, and recruiting a small two-end tea to deliver water, only two outsiders are needed, and the store will be opened! ”

"Okay, that's it!" As soon as Cai Po heard the reason, she immediately clapped her hands and agreed.

After the decision is made, the rest will be easy to do, Dou E has experienced a lot of vigor and resoluteness after the disaster, but in just seven or eight days, this noodle restaurant has opened up and opened.

I also invited a Xiangshi, spent 20 yuan, and asked for a lucky signboard, called "Dragon and Phoenix Noodle Restaurant!" ”
