043 A lifetime is a poor life
Sure enough, when the fragrance of food wafted out of Furong Building, whether sitting in the restaurant or sitting outside the restaurant, people couldn't help but sniff, and the guests in the restaurant could also proudly want the wine and food to be served soon, but the guests outside the restaurant were anxious to scratch their livers.
Stir-fried dishes were served on the table, and the fragrance wafted from the inside of the restaurant to the outside, and finally, the impatient guests decided to eat the price of the restaurant out of the roadside stall today.
Called the guy, ordered more than a dozen dishes in one breath according to the recipe, and finally vented the resentment that others were eating and watching me.
If there is one, there will be two, and if there is two, there will be three...... A series of exquisite and fragrant drooling dishes were served to the table, and the guests at other tables couldn't help it.
What face? What street stalls? It's cool when you eat it!
One by one the delicious food was served on the table, and the shopkeeper He pulled the abacus with a smile, although it was only the first day of opening, the first batch of guests was more than the guests in the previous days, and now the price of this dish has more than doubled, how refreshing the money is.
When Qu Hongze came to Furong Building with a group of friends, what he saw was a crowd of guests in front of Furong Gate. Even if I thought that the business of Furong Building would be good, I didn't expect it to be so good.
These people sitting under the shed outside the restaurant, eating and drinking, and shouting are really those famous squires and rich people in Jicheng? If it weren't for the fact that they were all dressed quite richly, wouldn't this behavior be completely different from that of the ordinary people in the market?
Or is it that once people change their environment, even their mentality changes?
Qu Hongze shook his head and walked into Furong Building with square steps, anyway, he disdained to be in the company of this group of people who disregarded their identity.
As soon as he saw the arrival of the young master, the shopkeeper He personally greeted him, "The young master is here, and I hope you will forgive me!" ”
What I thought in my heart was: Young Master Cousin, when I see the owner later, I will be beaten or scolded, but don't blame the little one, it's all the prince's meaning.
Thinking of leaving after He Louyuan was full of wine and food that day, the owner gritted his teeth and shouted the word 'Qu Hongze', and the shopkeeper He felt that it was a question whether the young master could leave Furong Building this time.
Qu Hongze waved his hand, "It's okay, the restaurant business is good, you are busy with your going, call a guy to greet me." ”
Shopkeeper He called a clever guy from the good and asked him to greet the young master, but the guy looked around in the Furong Building, upstairs and downstairs, and said to Qu Hongze with an embarrassed face: "Young Master Watch, you see that this business is really good, and there will be no vacancy in the building for a while, if you don't dislike it......"
Glancing at Furong Building, Qu Hongze's eyes twitched, "Are you asking my son to eat outside?" ”
The guy shrank his neck, the young master was angry, he couldn't afford to provoke him, and he was about to explain, if the young master really didn't want to eat outside, he could actually wait for a while.
A voice like a heavenly voice made him breathe a sigh of relief, "Is the young master here?" ”
Hearing that it was Ling Xiaorou's voice, Qu Hongze looked over in surprise, and didn't notice that Ling Xiaorou's title was angry, "Sister Rou'er, I brought a friend to cheer you on, but you guy said that there is no place, you can't let us eat out too, right?" ”
Ling Xiaorou glanced at the people he brought, there were six in total, all of them were young and talented, but fortunately they were not those friends who came to Bamboo Village.
Seeing that Ling Xiaorou looked at them, she called 'Miss Ling' very regularly, and Ling Xiaorou also nodded.
Only then did he lower his voice and ask Qu Hongze: "I only ask you, do you still recognize He Louyuan?" ”
The corners of Qu Hongze's eyes twitched, why did he ask about his cousin? Since his cousin didn't want Ling Xiaorou to know that he was King Ningyuan, Qu Hongze didn't dare to reveal it casually.
I wanted to say that I didn't recognize it when I didn't know it for unknown reasons, but it turned out that it was useless to quibble.
Under Ling Xiaorou's gaze that didn't want to deny, Qu Hongze could only nod spinelessly.
Ling Xiaorou's eyes narrowed with a smile suddenly, like a little fox, "It's good to recognize it, He Lou came to the restaurant a few days ago to eat a table of banquets, let it be recorded on your head, you won't repay the debt, right?" ”
Qu Hongze wanted to say that he wanted to pay the bill, but he didn't have the guts, so he could only nod aggrievedly, "Okay, count it on my head." ”
Ling Xiaorou stretched out her hand, and the shopkeeper He handed over an abacus, Ling Xiaorou crackled at the abacus, pointed to the beads on it and said to Qu Hongze: "A total of nine hundred and eighty-three taels of silver, since it is a friend of the second brother, I will count it as a friendship price, and you will give seven hundred taels." ”
Qu Hongze's legs were weak, and he almost sat on the ground, "Why are there so many?" Sister Rou'er, you can't lie to your brother. ”
Ling Xiaorou raised her eyebrows unhappily, "Look at what you said, you are my brother-in-law, I can't lie to anyone, do you give the silver now, or deduct it from the rent of the restaurant?" ”
Qu Hongze didn't give up and leaned over to Ling Xiaorou, "Good sister, is it a miscalculation?" Or you can do the math again. ”
Ling Xiaorou glanced at him, and asked him to bring the menu of the table of dishes that he ordered in the distance of He Lou that day, and pointed to the things on it one by one to count them to Qu Hongze.
Count a piece of Qu Hongze's face black, and when Ling Xiaorou finishes calculating, Qu Hongze's face is darker than ink, Ling Xiaorou really didn't count him more than a tael of silver, if you look at these things that your cousin eats, you can really put them in the restaurant and sell them as vegetables, I'm afraid that I can't beat it for a thousand taels of silver, and all the things that Sister Rou'er gives are the price of ingredients.
Sure enough, my cousin's advantage is not so easy to take advantage of, it looks like my cousin gave him all the rent of the restaurant, but I can't stand my cousin's calculation, if I come to eat such a banquet every month, and then don't give money after eating, not to mention that he can't collect the rent of the restaurant, and he may not have to take it in?
He worked hard to run errands and grind his mouth, and in the end he earned a hundred taels of silver?
Seeing that Qu Hongze's face was not good, Ling Xiaorou comforted: "Second brother, don't worry, I have already ordered it to go down, if this person comes again, it will be difficult to cheat and drink in the name of the second brother, and he will not be given a bowl of water to drink." ”
"Don't, don't, what he eats next time he comes will be on my account." Qu Hongze's blackened face turned white all of a sudden, he didn't dare to imagine how miserable he would be when he was angry with his cousin, it was a big deal to go back and cry with his cousin, presumably the cousin who was in charge of the finances would not take advantage of his hundreds of taels of silver stingily, right?
Ling Xiaorou was surprised, "Is it really all on your account?" ”
"Uh-huh, even if the second brother is on the account." Qu Hongze nodded firmly, the more he thought about it, the more reasonable he became, he couldn't say that he could get some more benefits from his cousin, and his mood was brighter.
Ling Xiaorou sighed in her heart: It seems that this kid caused something outside, so that He Louyuan grabbed the handle, so he had to be restrained everywhere, but even if the Qu family is rich, they can't afford to lose so much, does she want to interfere?
The face was whole, "Since the second brother said so, I won't say much, this time the account will be deducted from the rent, and next time I can see the cash, otherwise the deduction will be deducted, the second brother can't deduct all the Furong Building to me, right?" ”
Qu Hongze's eyes lit up, if he could detain Furong Lou to Ling Xiaorou, he would be really happy.
Ling Xiaorou was so angry by his unpromising performance, and thought that if He Louyuan dared to come to the restaurant next time, he must teach him a good lesson, so that he would not dare to take Qu Hongze's handle again.
There is no place upstairs and downstairs, Qu Hongze said that he refused to go out to eat, Ling Xiaorou finally had to set a table in front of the kitchen in the front yard, although they were all eaten by skill, at least in the front yard, there was no need to be watched by passers-by, Qu Hongze finally reluctantly agreed.
Compared with Qu Hongze's difficult waiting, the few people who came with him were very good-tempered, and after thanking Ling Xiaorou, they waited with urgency for the miraculous food that had been spread in Jicheng in the past few days.
In particular, Chef Chai's barbecue used to be a limited amount of tasting, and they had the privilege of tasting a few bites, but that little bit of barbecue didn't serve anything except to hook out the gluttonous insects, but it made them miss it every day.
Li was in the backyard, and she couldn't sit still when she heard the noise in front of her, Ling Xiaorou hadn't said a word to her since yesterday, even if she wanted to show goodwill, she couldn't find a chance.
Think about your family now being under the fence, right? You can't be too stiff with Ling Xiaorou, yesterday's incident is really weird and hurtful, and it doesn't feel good to anyone else.
Ling Cheng was arranged by Ling Xiaorou to take care of people in Zhuangzi early in the morning, and Ling Xiaomin also followed, leaving her and Fang with two children at home, and they had the heart to find someone to talk to, but Fang was not a suitable person.
Stretching his neck and looking at it for a long time, he didn't see Ling Xiaorou enter the backyard, sighing for a long time, Fang Shi came over, "Mother, you said that we are all living on the eldest girl now, and you can't let the eldest girl feel that she has raised a group of wastes who only know how to eat and drink, right?" Why don't we go to the front and see if there's anything we can do to help? ”
"Okay!" Li's eyes lit up, she was not afraid of doing work, if she could use this method to make Ling Xiaorou's attitude towards her soothe, it would be a good way.
As soon as she thought of it, Li let the two children play in the backyard, she straightened her clothes, put her hair in a bun, and came to the front yard when she left the backyard.
A table of guests in the front yard is eating fragrantly, the guys coming in and out of the kitchen are busy, and the chefs are shouting loudly.
Li Shi looked at it for a long time, and she was restrained in what she wanted to do, and finally her eyes were on the high plates piled up in the big wooden basin under the kitchen window.
Moved a small horse and sat down, pulled up his sleeves high, and Li worked hard to brush the bowl.
Fang followed behind Li's, and when he saw that his mother-in-law didn't enter the kitchen, but instead brushed the dishes, he felt so contemptuous in his heart, obviously he was the wife of the house, and he had to do the work of a human being, this person would be poor all his life.
Fang's plan to trick Li to help in front of her also had her plan, she also saw that Ling Xiaorou was very capable of making food, at the beginning, just a few recipes could make the people of Zhucun earn a lot of money, if she stole a few recipes in the kitchen and handed them to Fang Hai, she was afraid that he would not have the ability to settle down?
It's just that Ling Xiaorou is already dissatisfied with her, if she comes to the front by herself, not to mention whether Ling Xiaorou will guard against him, it is not good for a daughter-in-law to mix with a group of male cooks.
However, it is different with the Li family, her mother-in-law is next to her, what else can she and the cooks gossip about?
It's just that she thought very well, but she didn't expect that Li's was really muddy and couldn't support the wall, so why did she do the work of brushing dishes? Let her be a daughter-in-law, how can she go into the kitchen alone and use help as an excuse to steal the fact of the teacher?
