Chapter 293 Asking about the restaurant
A word to wake up the dreamer.
Liu Da only listened to Shen Miaomiao's words and immediately exited the room.
Xu Chou was resting in the kitchen. When he heard Liu Dalai calling him, he quickly got up.
"Master Xu, my boss is looking for you." Liu Da also spoke politely to Xu Chou. At first, he thought he looked a bit scary, but now that we have been together for a long time, he realizes that he is an excellent person.
"My boss is looking for me?" Xu Chou didn't understand for a while. This boss was looking for him. Could it be that he had done something wrong?
"Hey, I just want to ask you about things in the village." After Liu Da said this, he pulled him out, and Xu Chou just followed him.
Because his walking posture is a bit weird, he usually stays in the kitchen except when going to the toilet, and doesn't like to go to crowded places.
Even though the people in Sanwei Curie are kind to him, they always like to sit in the corner by themselves.
Liu Da led the way to the door, knocked, and whispered: "Master, I'm here with Master Xu."
"Come in."
After opening the door, Liu Da did not go in again. Seeing Wang Sheng still inside, he waved to him and pulled him out of the house.
"My boss, what do you want from me?" Seeing that Nanzhi and Shen Miaomiao did not have cold faces, Xu Chou felt a little relieved.
"We want to ask you about something." Nanzhi poured a cup of tea for Xu Chou with a smile on his face.
Looking at the tea handed to him, Xu Chou was a little confused. After a long time, he said: "Master, if there is anything I can be used for, just ask."
"Uncle Xu, we want to ask if you are from Niuniu Village?"
"Yes. My hometown is from Niuniu Village, but people in the village don't know much about me. Also, they only knew about me when I went back before."
Xu Chou was a little depressed when he said this.
Ever since he was born, he has been called a freak by the villagers. His mother-in-law never let him out of the house when he was a child. Even if someone came to buy wine at home, he would be locked in the house by her mother-in-law.
Later, when he was older, he always wanted to sneak out. As a result, he ran out at night and was seen by the village dolls. They said that he was a monster and threw stones at him.
That time he hurt his head and even suffered a big wound on his leg.
After that, Aniang locked him up at home.
Until he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he was allowed to find work on his own.
After that, he went back to the village several times, but always in the dark to deliver some things to his mother-in-law.
Fortunately, my house is in the most remote place at the end of the village, so it has not been discovered by them for so many years.
Until a month ago, my grandma left. When he returned to the village, the villagers were discussing throwing her body into the river. If he hadn't brought the people he invited, they might not even be able to save his grandma's body. .
The more he thought about it, the sadder he became, the corners of Xu Chou's eyes had already turned red.
A good person like his mother-in-law has suffered for so many years.
There was some hesitation on Nanzhi's face. She could tell that Xu Chou's current condition was not good, and she was reluctant to reveal her scars.
"If you have anything you want to ask, boss, just ask me. Now I have looked away. I have to survive alone." Xu Chou spoke openly, and except for the redness of the corners of his eyes, he did not shed any tears.
"Do you know anyone selling liquor in your village?"
Xu Chou was slightly startled. The wine sellers in the village, besides his own, were the main ones at the entrance of the village.
It is because of him that the people in the village are somewhat disgusted with his family. Even if his wine is good, most outsiders come to buy it, and everyone in the village goes to Li Zheng's house.
Perhaps because he had tasted the sweetness, Li Zheng began to favor his family more and more. When he was younger, his mother-in-law would argue with them, but when she got older, she simply stopped selling wine.
I only left some of them stored in my cellar, and I would visit them from time to time.
"Yes, but I just don't know why my boss is asking for this." Xu Chou felt a little entangled in his heart.
Auntie said that the recipe for her Qianjin Liquor should not be passed on to others. She brought it to Yancheng from Kyoto. Even when someone in the village wanted to forcefully marry her, she took advantage of the recipe, and she tried her best to stop it. .
His boss treated him well, but he didn't know if he could trust them.
What if they came here just for this wine recipe from the beginning?
Xu Chou's face gradually became a little ugly.
He looks like this. He has seen too many things in the past twenty years outside.
As he was struggling in his mind, Nanzhi also told the truth.
"You are one of our own, and we are not hiding anything. The Xu family who has been selling wine to our restaurant is no longer willing to sell wine to us. They say that we are women and selling wine will bring bad luck to us. Now I let Liu Da and the others Going to Xu's house to buy wine would only last for another month, so it was not a long-term solution.
We have also inquired about other restaurants in Yancheng. They are either not as good as Xu's, or they are so good that we really can't afford them.
I heard Wang Sheng say that his father bought wine in Niuniu Village in the early years, so I thought of asking you. "
Nanzhi really had a headache because of this incident. He wanted to go to Niuniu Village just to try his luck. After all, weren't there many masters hiding in the village?
She's had bad luck so many times, she has to get better once, right?
Xu Chou didn't say much, just nodded in agreement.
Ask Nanzhi and the others to call him if they need to go, and he can lead the way.
After thanking him, Nanzhi let him go to rest first. Looking at Xu Chou's leaving figure, Shen Miaomiao sighed.
"Sister Nanzhi, can we really find her?"
"Don't worry, if we can't find it again, we will order the wine from the Li family. Although it is worse, but it is cheaper, there will always be people who are willing. As for the better wine, we will continue to order the wine from the Liu family, even if it is two taels. It’s a jar of silver, but if you sell it more expensively, you can still make a living.”
Nanzhi's fingers have been stirring, and they haven't stopped from the beginning to now.
She was also very worried. Most of the people who came to eat here were ordinary people. In the past, the wine sold by the Xu family was delicious and reasonably priced, so more and more people came here.
If I change the wine, I really don’t know if I will lose customers.
But she heard from her mother-in-law that Cui, the sesame seed seller, was also tinkering with some kebabs.
"Sister Nanzhi, isn't there a saying that there must be a road to the mountain? We might be able to buy some good wine here."
Shen Miaomiao saw that Nanzhi was very anxious now and quickly rubbed her shoulders to comfort her.
When the store closed at night, Nanzhi and Shen Miaomiao asked other local Yancheng clerks about the wine.
As a result, in addition to Niuniu Village, Lin Xiaoquan said that there are two wine sellers in Dawan Village next door to them. Although the taste is not as good as Xu's, it is not bad, and a bottle only costs 400 Wen.
After receiving this news, Nanzhi and Shen Miaomiao felt a little relieved. They just asked Lin Xiaoquan and Xu Chou to lead the way the next day. They would go and have a look together. If there was anything suitable, they would make a decision.
