Chapter 58: make a decision

  Chapter 58 Finalized

Chu Nanzhi took Dabao to the market to buy celery, lotus seeds, red beans, red dates, longan and dry lean pork strips for apprenticeship. He also bought some pork and vegetables and went back to make a big meal for everyone. meals.

  I was busy in the kitchen for a while, washed the spare ribs, stewed a pot of lotus root and corn ribs soup, and then fried a few dishes that the two elders hadn't tasted a few days ago:

  Three delicacies of the ground, dry-stir-fried potatoes, fried noodles with lean meat, fried beans with pork belly, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes hand-picked by Chang Lao.

  Waiting for the food to arrive on the table, Chu Nanzhi introduced her new dishes to everyone one by one.

  The elders and the quadruplets looked at a table of new tricks, and they were so hungry.

  This time, Mr. Nie and Mr. Chang didn't grab food, they tasted delicious food harmoniously, and they were all full of praise.

  Nie Lao drank a few glasses of wine, and began to make a bold proposal:

"The most prestigious restaurant in Luyan Port is the one opened by Qi's family. The dishes there are very popular among rich and powerful families, but I have already gotten tired of eating them a few years ago. The dishes you have studied, Nan Zhi, are very novel. , if you can also go to the county to open a restaurant, according to the old man, you will be able to share the same share with the Qi family, and maybe you will be the number one."

   "Old Nie's words are wrong."

  Old Chang quickly rejected his proposal, and said with a serious face:

   "My apprentice is so smart, wouldn't it be overkill to let her run a restaurant?"

   After finishing speaking, he quickly waved his hand to Chu Nanzhi: "Student, don't listen to what this old man says."

  Xiao Sibao always remembered that A Niang mentioned the matter of opening a restaurant in the county a few days ago, so he hurriedly expressed his opinion at this time:

   "Grandpa Chang, can my aunt teach my grandma and two aunts to open a restaurant in the county?"

  When the two elders heard this, they looked at each other and seemed embarrassed.

   Now that things are up to now, Chu Nanzhi doesn't intend to deceive the two elders, so she answered truthfully:

"To be honest with the two teachers, it is true that as Sibao said, the students had thought about this, and the second elder had a general understanding of my natal family's affairs. In recent years, my son-in-law and Han's Erlang have almost ruined the family. Foundation, the students are grateful for the hard work of their mothers and are trying to make a living for their family."

   "Well, it's not bad for you to have such filial piety."

  After listening to Chang Lao, he finally agreed.

  Just mentioning the matter of the Chu family, several people couldn't help but frowned.

  Mr. Nie looked regretful, and smiled wryly, "It's a pity that Erlang Han was indeed a very talented person in this county, ah."

   At this point, he paused in pain, unable to bear to continue, his deep eyes slowly turned to Lin Jinxiao who was picking up vegetables:

   "Fortunately, Dalang has a noble character and has never been bewitched by others. This makes the old man very gratified."

  After being praised by his mentor, Lin Jinxiao put down his chopsticks in fear, and replied respectfully and politely:

   "Thanks to the cultivation of the two mentors, the students never dare to destroy their future and live up to the teachings of the mentors."

  After hearing this, the two old men raised their glasses and drank it down in relief.

  Looking at the lonely and desolate figure opposite, Chu Nanzhi vaguely remembered that Qi Mochen had tried to win over Lin Jinxiao back then, but it's a pity that this person is a man who doesn't care about anything, and only has business affairs and a few children in his eyes.

  If this guy becomes as decadent and depraved as Han Erlang and Liu Shuyang, those four little guys may have lost their way of life long ago.

   Closer to home, now that Mr. Nie mentioned the matter of opening a restaurant, Chu Nanzhi simply expressed all the thoughts in his heart at this time:

"The student thought that if he could really open a restaurant in the county, he would set up a spacious elegant room in the restaurant for the two elders to teach the four little treasures, so that if the students researched any new dishes, they could honor the two in time. teacher."

   "Well, Nan Zhi, your proposal is very good."

  Old Nie had a friendly face and nodded in agreement.

  Chang Lao repeatedly stroked his beard full of thoughts, half-closed his eyes, and said a little uneasy:

"The Qi family is not an aristocratic family, but it has been entrenched in Luyan Port for many years, and it has long been entrenched. You are a woman after all, and Dalang is not flexible at the moment. If you compete with him, you may suffer a loss. "

"Don't worry, teacher. Didn't the teacher say on the way back just now that students are people who are good at intrigue, and business is all about fair competition. Luyan Port is not the world of his Qi family. Such a big county can't do it. A small business depends on the face of his Qi family, besides, if I really can't compete, why don't I still have two teachers."

  Chu Nanzhi smiled evilly.

  Her temperament has always been like this, she can only decide whether she wants to do everything, but she never dares to say it.

  And she doesn't have feudal thinking, she looks down on business people, if she can live a better life, why should she think of herself as noble.

  After listening to her words, Mr. Nie took a deep look at Chang Yanjue who was in deep thought, and without hesitation, he immediately replied firmly:

"Nan Zhi, you don't have to worry about it, as long as you do what you want to do boldly, and support you with all your strength as a teacher, if his Qi family dares to play any tricks, even if it means risking your life as a teacher, you must entangle with him to the end. "

   Seeing this, Mr. Chang had no choice but to acquiesce.

  After finishing their meal, they sat until evening, when Chu Nanzhi led the quadruplets to the ceremony of apprenticeship and saw off the two elders, and the courtyard became quiet again.

  Thinking about what happened in the county today, she was still a little uneasy, and decided to return to her natal home one day in advance and tomorrow.

  After bathing the quadruplets, in front of Lin Jinxiao, she discussed with him: "I'll get up early tomorrow and go to the village to hire two people to take you back to my mother's house."

   "Listen to your arrangement."

  Lin Jinxiao replied indifferently.

  During the afternoon meal, after hearing the conversations of several people, he roughly guessed in his heart that something might happen to the woman when she went to the county today, so he wisely refrained from contradicting her at this time.

  When the quadruplets heard that they could go to grandma's house tomorrow, they started to jump up and down again.

  Little Four Treasures Lin Ruijia immediately took the cakes she had saved and handed them to Chu Nanzhi, and said solemnly: "Mother, I left these red bean cakes and sesame cakes for my aunt's natal brother."

  Chu Nanzhi saw a piece of red bean cake and sesame cake distributed to each of the little guys today, more than half of the four treasures were left, and she couldn't help but feel moved.

  The little guy is not willing to eat it himself, and he still wants to leave it to Chu Nanzhu's children. It is really not in vain to let their grandma and aunt love him.

  Chu Nanzhi stroked Xiao Sibao's head, and said in a personal voice: "You save these to eat on the road tomorrow when you are hungry, and I saved a lot for my aunt's little brother."

  Little Sibao listened, and then he was willing to put away his snacks.

  Back to her natal family this time, Chu Nanzhi didn't intend to leave too much money for Liu Yun, but only planned to buy more things for the Chu family.

   That is, Anlin Village is not close to Tongan Village, and it takes more than half an hour to walk.

  So, apart from the cakes for the child and the clothes I bought today, plus a few rare and old ginseng plants sent by the old doctor in the county, they were prepared in advance, and she wanted to wait until she arrived in Tong'an Village to buy the rest.

   After packing up everything, before going to bed, Chu Nanzhi had just placed the second treasure, the third treasure, and the fourth treasure, when Lin Jinxiao led the big treasure and appeared at the door of the hut.

  The father and son looked at each other in blank dismay, hesitating to speak, as if unable to speak.

  Seeing that he brought Dabao over, Chu Nanzhi guessed his thoughts, looked at the narrow space on the bed, and asked a little embarrassedly: "Do you want Dabao to sleep here too?"

   "Well, Dabao is used to sleeping with his younger siblings, so he can't bear them."

  Lin Jinxiao did not tell the truth about his conflict with Dabao.

  He patted the top of Dabao's head, and leaned against the door: "Take a few little treasures to sleep in the back room, and I will sleep here in the future."

  The three lying babies immediately got up from the bed when they heard this, and came over happily and pulled Chu Nanzhi to the back room.

  Looking at such a scene, Lin Jinxiao suddenly thought of the time when he was surrounded by four little guys in the past, he couldn't help shaking his head resentfully, and entered the cabin alone with a lonely expression.
