Chapter 139: Overlord's Meal

The villagers who came to celebrate their birthdays all around, as soon as they heard that they came to have a feast, and it would be affordable to buy paper money during the Midyear Festival, they all confirmed with Shen Luzhu: "It's really fake, the daughter-in-law of the Chu family, everyone who came here today can give it cheap?"

Shen Luzhu smiled at the aunt closest to her and replied, "Yes, auntie, from now until the end of the Midyear Festival, as long as you come to celebrate Grandpa's birthday, you can come to my shop to buy paper money, it can be cheap!"

An eldest lady sitting behind her patted Shen Luzhu's hand: "The daughter-in-law of the Chu family, how can you remember so many people, do you need to give us any certificate?"

"No need for auntie, just say it when you come!"

The eldest lady hesitated, and she didn't know if she was afraid that the little couple would not admit it or if she had any other concerns: "This is not good...... What if, when the time comes, there are people on the side, and you can't tell the difference?"

"I believe that the aunt in our village will not do this, if there is really us, we will have the right to accumulate blessings for grandpa, and every share sold is a blessing!"

What Shen Luzhu didn't say was that they didn't really plan to distinguish between them, whether the person who came to buy paper money gave Grandpa Chu a birthday today, it was just a reason for publicity.

When everyone heard this, they all praised Grandpa Chu: "Eh, the old man of the Chu family is really good at educating his children and grandchildren, look at how filial these two are filial piety!"

"That's, that's it! This is another lion dance and singing, and it is also a good deed and a blessing, I have never seen a grandchild who is more filial than them!"

"Old man of the Chu family, congratulations, with the filial piety of the children, I think this eighty birthday, ninety birthday, and even 100 birthday can be done in the future!"

Grandpa Chu is like living in a dream today, most of the people in the village have come to celebrate his birthday, not to mention, Chu Yixiao and his wife have really made a lot of effort today, these tricks of lion dance and singing, which is what he dared to think of when he celebrated his birthday with a rural crop, coupled with the flattery of the surrounding villagers, he was even more happy.

"Hahaha, where is it, if you really live to be 100 years old, you won't be an old monster!"

Grandpa Chu on the main seat was happy to himself, but the Wang family, who was still sitting on the side of the housemaster's genealogy, pulled his face down, sent the restaurant manager who came to check the number of people, and walked to Grandma Chu, who was sitting on the main seat with Grandpa Chu, and pulled her sleeve.

Grandma Chu was sitting next to Grandpa Chu listening to the play beautifully, and suddenly felt that someone was pulling her sleeves, and suddenly looked back again, it was actually Wang with an unhappy face, and her interest in watching the play was suddenly half ruined, and she frowned and asked, "You are not busy in the back, why are you running here to pull my clothes?"

"Auntie! What does this Shen mean?"

Wang was so emotional that he couldn't control his volume for a while, and now it was not only Grandma Chu, but all the elders and relatives sitting near the main table turned their heads to look at it.

Grandpa Chu was annoyed by Wang's complaint, and turned his head and said, "What are you yelling about, I didn't see the elders listening to the drama here!"

Wang had to swallow the anger in his heart for a while, and explained awkwardly: "Daddy, Auntie, I have something that I am a little uncertain about, and I want Auntie to go with me to have a look!"

Grandpa Chu said "um", glanced at his wife again, and then turned around and continued to listen to the play.

Grandma Chu reluctantly followed Wang's to the small alley connecting the front and back yards, and seeing that there was no one around, Wang said freely with confidence: "Auntie! Chu Yi's two meanings are a few things! Is it for Daddy's birthday or to solicit business for their shop!"

"You don't care if she solicits business or not! Just do your job, what does it have to do with you!"

As soon as Wang heard Grandma Chu's words, his eyes instantly widened: "Why can it have nothing to do with me, she recruited everyone to her side to buy paper money, so how can our family's paper money business be organized!"

Grandma Chu then remembered the paper money in her shop, and she was complaining for a while, when the Wang family also wanted to sell paper money, Grandma Chu raised her hands in favor, so to make money in business, why can't she do it, for this reason I also argued with Grandpa Chu a few words, that is silver, white silver!

But it didn't take a while to buy it, Grandma Chu regretted it, and I don't know how this Wang family did it, obviously other people's families can easily earn money, but it's good for her, even if she provokes a bunch of gossip, she can still ask her to sell and lose money, what a loser!

"What's the matter, I've long said that you can't do it, you don't make money by selling paper money at all, so you don't listen to it, if this person is really called over, what about the paper money you got recently, won't you have to lose your hands! I've finally earned some money lately!"

After being cheated once last time, Wang actually had the idea of not selling paper money, but she was obviously calculated by someone to lose the money, plus the family always said that she couldn't do it, and the silver that the small couple could easily earn, how could she make a mess, and she couldn't swallow this evil breath in her heart, so she kept holding on, thinking of various ways, and also sold the paper money, not to mention that it has finally begun to show signs of turning losses into profits recently. How can you give up at this time!

"I told the Shen family to calculate, let those black-hearted people get pitted! Otherwise, it is not necessarily who earns and who loses! Auntie, don't talk about it, it's impossible for me to stop buying and selling paper money, don't you know that I've started to make money recently!"

Grandma Chu glanced at the Wang family, she may look at Chu Ren's face and turn a blind eye to the Wang family, but when it comes to silver, it is impossible to let the Wang family mess around like this: "If it weren't for the fact that I have earned money recently, you and your father would still be able to ask you to sell it!" What the hell are you calling me for?"

"Auntie and Daddy, wait a minute, and tell the villagers, our shop is also cheap, they are not fifty or five less, one hundred and twenty less, we are also less, whether we come to celebrate Daddy's birthday or not, we are all less!"

"Can this be done?" Grandma Chu was hesitating, when she saw another figure coming from the front yard, and when she looked at it, it was actually Chu Ren.

"Grandma, Grandma, what are you talking about, why is it so long?"

Chu Ren, who was also sitting near the main table, heard what the Wang family said in the front yard, and saw that the two of them had not returned after leaving the table, and they were afraid that the Wang family would cause some trouble on this occasion today, so they hurriedly got up and came to look for it.

"Your aunt said, tell me to talk to your grandfather and the big guys in a while, our shop is also cheap, save people from going to Shen's side to buy paper money, and there will be no one in our shop!"

Chu Ren hurriedly stopped after hearing this: "No, if you fall behind, you will fall, if you follow Shen Shi on this occasion today, it will be useless except for making people see jokes!"

Seeing that the eldest son stopped him, the Wang family was still a little unwilling: "If you don't say something, then how will our family's business be organized?"

Chu Ren continued to stop: "In the future, Ah Niang can adjust it to the same price as her cousin, but you must not talk about this matter behind Shen at Grandpa's birthday banquet now, Ah Niang, you are confused!"

What Chu Ren said is not successful, Wang can't understand, but the eldest son said so, even if Wang is unwilling, he will not go out of his way to sing the opposite, but he sighed secretly in his heart, the eldest son is good at everything, but he doesn't know anything about doing business, she was planning to take advantage of this midyear festival to make a lot of money for him, so she finally found a way and got a lot of paper money to go home, but now it's good, everyone has run out, and she is afraid that she won't be able to earn silver on the Midyear Festival!

After the two scenes were sung, the troupe closed the stall, the wine and food in the backyard were all prepared, and all kinds of dishes were served to the table one after another.

Wang followed and greeted for a while, and when she saw that the people invited from the backyard were serving the dishes very easily, she also sat down, and the smell of meat made her drool!

Before he had eaten two bites, the steward of the restaurant brought a little second from the backyard and stood beside Wang, originally wanting to ask her to borrow a step to speak, but I don't know if Wang was eating happily and didn't want to leave the table, or didn't understand the steward's intentions at all, so he shouted directly: "

You don't work in the backyard, what are you doing in the front yard?"

The steward was very dissatisfied with the hostess who was docking with him today, and since he came in the morning, he has been picking on the thorns and not speaking, and he is always arrogant when he speaks, and he turns them around one by one, and he doesn't want to talk to her anymore, so he also said directly: "Today's banquet is a total of eight taels of silver, and your family has already given a deposit of 500 wen before, and you can settle the rest of the hostess's family now."

With a "bang", the chicken leg that Wang had just picked up smashed into the bowl: "What do you say?"

Seeing Wang's performance like this, the housekeeper thought that she was trying to repay the debt, so he instantly straightened his face, raised his tone and said again: "The money for the banquet is still seven or five hundred wen, and the hostess's family will tie it up!"

Wang suddenly stood up from his chair: "So many! Why should I ask for silver? I didn't!"

Seeing this, the steward rolled up his sleeves, and walked straight to the opposite side of the Wang family with Xiao Er behind him and asked: "Eh, I really opened my eyes today, I have seen the overlord meal in the restaurant, and the first time I saw someone who invited someone to the house to hold a banquet and could not pay the bill, Xiao Er, go to the backyard to say hello, don't put the rest of the dishes on board, stop the work in hand, and let me come to the front yard, so that the big guys can see and understand, what does the owner of this old man want to eat the overlord meal for his own birthday banquet!"
