Chapter 389 Four people talking
Sanweiju was forced to close for two more days, but since Shen Wenchen revealed Nanzhi's identity, the Lin family's new shop has never been open.
"Brother Lin, why didn't you tell me earlier that the city lord was your son-in-law?" The speaker was Master Zheng, who was also a carpenter.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
Father Lin saw Carpenter Zheng about to take action with the tools, so he quickly stopped him.
"We are all carpenters. I see that you have been busy for a few days. I have brought my apprentice here. It will be easier to open the business if we can get it done earlier." Master Zheng was stopped and couldn't move, so he could only explain after some explanation. I asked a few apprentices to be smarter.
This brother Lin is the one who really hides his secrets and does big things quietly!
This cheerful guy let his daughter take down the city lord?
Thinking that the little girl who asked him to work was the future wife of the city lord, Master Zheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Fortunately, fortunately, I didn't say anything stupid at that time.
"Brother Zheng, no, no, no, it will delay your business for a while." Father Lin knew that he was afraid of what he would say to his son-in-law, but seeing the sweat on his forehead, he suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.
This Master Zheng is also very funny. He is already a very old man, how can he really be as stingy as he thinks?
"Where is the business now? It's just a matter of helping." Master Zheng waved his hand, and when he saw that he still refused to let him go, he simply turned around and opened the door.
"Master, what should we do?" Mother Lin looked at Master Zheng and several young men cleaning, carving and installing doors in her shop, and she felt at a loss for a moment.
They just open a food shop and make it so fancy. How can people dare to come over to eat?
Is it too late to think that yours is a black shop?
"Forget it, let's go tell the boss and tell her to go back and rest. She won't be here for the next few days."
Mother Lin was stunned and realized that he wanted Carpenter Zheng to lead his apprentice to help in the shop. Then she nodded and went to find the eldest daughter-in-law.
"Mom." Chen Qiulan was drinking tea and stood up quickly when she saw her mother-in-law coming over.
"Qiulan, you will go home soon and have a good rest. Take this tael of silver and buy two chickens to stew and eat with your siblings."
Mother Lin took out a tael of silver from her arms and handed it over.
Chen Qiulan looked at the silver with a confused look on her face and shook her head repeatedly.
"Mom, you don't need this, I have money myself." She has saved dozens of taels of silver in the past two years.
"Mom gave this to you. Your brother and sister have one in their stomachs right now. We are all busy, so it's up to you to take care of it." Mother Lin put the money into her hand and refused to let her pass it over again. return.
The second child's pregnancy was a little unstable, causing her to have vomiting and diarrhea all day long, and she couldn't even sleep peacefully.
She looked very distressed.
For the past two days, I have left a few children at home and used the money to buy food outside.
But where can I make homemade chicken soup from the ones I buy outside?
She knew that the chicken soup sold in some stores was half a pot of water!
"Hey." Chen Qiulan didn't refuse anymore, she just took the money and went to the market.
Although the restaurant is not open, the guys still want to eat, and those who order will have food delivered to the shop.
When Lin Xiaoquan walked in with his lunch box, he saw several big men working shirtless in the room. When they heard the sound of his entry, they all turned their heads to look over.
"Is Xiaoquan here?" Lin Yicheng stopped what he was doing when he saw Lin Xiaoquan and hurried over to pick up the food box.
"Brother Lin, this is..." Lin Xiaoquan was dumbfounded at the scene in front of him, and it took him a long time to ask this question.
"It's Carpenter Zheng's apprentice who came here to help. By the way, Xiaoquan, I have to trouble you to go back to the restaurant and ask Master Xu to cook some more vegetables. There is no need for rice. I will go next door to buy some later."
After Lin Yicheng finished speaking, he gave him three more copper coins.
"Hey, okay, okay." Lin Xiaoquan swallowed, turned around and ran away without taking the coin.
"Brother Lin, who is that kid?" Carpenter Zheng's apprentice asked curiously as he watched Lin Xiaoquan run away in a hurry.
"It's the guy from Sanweiju. He's brought some food, but it's probably not big enough. I'll ask him to bring some more."
"Oh." The man nodded and then continued to work.
There wasn't anything that needed to be purchased in the shop, and Mother Lin didn't think it was troublesome, so she just bought the tables, chairs, and benches. It was rare for her son and husband to be busy with work, so she didn't let them do it.
At this time, Carpenter Zheng brought his apprentice over and found that there was nothing that needed to be done, so he simply went back and brought some wood over and started making tables, chairs and benches on the spot.
The four people in the city lord's mansion sat around the stone table, and no one spoke.
"Miaomiao."
"Sister Nanzhi."
The two of them suddenly spoke in unison, causing each other to be startled, and then burst into laughter.
"Sister Nanzhi, I am going back to Kyoto with Twelve." Shen Miaomiao was a little embarrassed and felt a little sorry in her heart.
Back then, Sister Nanzhi was able to open a restaurant by herself, but she gave her a hand. Now, she has to leave in just three months, which is really irresponsible.
"That's also a good thing." Nanzhi didn't think there was anything wrong with Shen Miaomiao's choice. He asked her to manage Sanweiju together because he wanted her to have an income so that she wouldn't have to feel twelve inches shorter.
Now that the lover is finally married, what can she say?
Moreover, Miaomiao had been a shopkeeper herself, so she definitely knew the importance of a career for a woman.
"I just feel a little sorry for your cultivation." Shen Miaomiao's eyes were red. If Sister Nanzhi had not dragged her along, maybe she would still be a little girl who could only embroider handkerchiefs at home.
She also told her parents last night that they were willing to go to Kyoto with her.
It may also be because of their brother's incident that they want to leave this sad place.
My mother said that women in Kyoto must learn to run a household, so that when they get married, they can manage their husband's family in an orderly manner.
He won't be ridiculed by others.
If she was just a girl who could only embroider purse handkerchiefs at home, even if she really went to Kyoto and married Twelve, she would only make a joke.
But now that she has managed a restaurant, she understands some things.
At least the journey ahead won't be so difficult for her.
"There's no such thing as cultivation. When you go to Kyoto, you have to make good plans. If you want to do business, just take over the shop and buy two trustworthy people to take care of it. Kyoto is not as good as Yancheng, and the wives of officials are not Suitable for publicity.”
Nanzhi hates the word publicity, but this is indeed the world.
"Okay." Shen Miaomiao's eyes were watery and she just nodded slightly.
"Sister, I have nothing to give you. Here are the recipes for those ice drinks. Take them. If you get to Kyoto, open an ice drink shop and build good relationships with other official wives."
Nanzhi put the rice paper in Shen Miaomiao's hand, and the two girls looked at each other with tears in their eyes.
"Nan Nan, Twelve and the others are not leaving right now, don't get excited." Shen Wenchen was a little helpless and was about to cry when he looked at Nanzhi, so he only wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
Twelve watched his eldest brother imitate his actions, which made Shen Miaomiao blush with embarrassment.
