Chapter 209 Magistrate Lin

After stringing together more than forty copper coins, there were also pieces of silver. After all, there were at least six taels.

"Keep accounts, keep accounts!" Shen Nuanning waved her hand.

Mr. Hu settles the accounts of the roast duck restaurant, not only the roast duck restaurant, but also the roast duck workshop, so he is also very busy.

While it was still dark, everyone hurried home, leaving Shen Dalang and his wife to live in the backyard of the roast duck shop and guard the shop.

There are two large iron charcoal grills in the kitchen. Shen Nuanning lied to them that they were made by a blacksmith, but she actually took them out from the space. The role of the ovens is indispensable for making the roast duck taste better.

Everyone in the Shen family knows that they must keep the secret recipe for making roast duck, and they must also keep the roast duck stove.

-

At this time, the county magistrate had returned to Houya, looking for his wife and soft daughter.

"Daddy, you smell so good." The daughter ran over and hugged her father's thigh.

"Daddy brought delicious food to Jiang Jiang. Would you like to eat it?"

Lin Zisen picked up his daughter and raised the roast duck in his hand.

"Why is the food so delicious?" Mrs. Lin was very upset. Her biological daughter immediately forgot about being a mother as soon as she saw her father.

Little white-eyed wolf.

Magistrate Lin opened the parchment paper, revealing the roast duck and sauce.

"Daddy, I want to eat it." Jiang Jiang swallowed. It looked delicious.

Mrs. Lin was a little touched. This little girl was very picky about food. She would only take one bite of anything and would never eat it again if it didn't taste good.

The couple quickly put a piece of meat into the little girl's mouth.

Jiang Jiang asked for more, and the couple fed her more vigorously until her daughter's belly was round.

"Have you met the woman that the prince likes?" Mrs. Lin asked curiously.

Magistrate Lin nodded calmly.

When Mrs. Lin saw this, she pinched County Magistrate Lin hard, "If you keep pretending to me, you will owe me!"

She puts it aside to show off outside, but she still wants to pretend at home, so beautiful!

"Stop! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

He frowned awkwardly, grimaced, and said obediently, "That girl looks quite smart and polite, but her status..."

How could a peasant girl be worthy of a prince who was beneath him?

Mrs. Lin snorted, "You are worrying too much. Even if your status does not deserve it, your cousin insists on liking him. He is the prince, can you control it? Besides, do you think the prince has ever liked any other girl before? I saw him like this She seems to belong to someone, maybe it’s this girl.”

The county magistrate was very distressed. He knew how difficult it was to know that his cousin liked a woman, but he just couldn't bear it.

His status is too low.

Then I saw Mrs. Lin whispering, "The prince is a person who does big things. I don't know what will happen in the future. The world is going to be in chaos. It is not impossible for the aristocratic families to reshuffle the cards."

Magistrate Lin was slowly persuaded by his wife.

He should be busy with his own business. Refugees are constantly pouring into the area under his jurisdiction, and now they are just appetizers. He has to start arranging their settlement.

-

The store has been open for a few days, and because of the county magistrate's stunt on the first day, it has been very prosperous, and no one has caused trouble.

After three days, the business slowed down a bit and entered a stable period.

The Shen family at home are very busy.

The workshop had to kill many ducks every day, so the problem of water collection was a headache. Shen Nuanning suggested digging a well to facilitate water collection.

There was a fairly small stream flowing down not far away, which proved that a well could be dug, so the Shen family hired villagers to dig a well near the workshop.

In addition, the people who killed the ducks and gave them away were also selected, including building workshops, digging wells, and delivering goods. The eldest daughter-in-law in the village hired a total of more than 20 people.

Old Shen was not happy. He felt that there were too many people, and if there were too many people, they would become lazy, so the family had spent a lot of money in vain.

Shen Nuanning smiled and said, "Dad, I want to give you a gift."

She showed Old Shen the deed of the newly purchased store, but Old Shen was illiterate and couldn't read it. "What's written on it?" He only recognized Shen Shou, his name.

Xiumu's children came over to look at it, and Shen Xiaosi said, "It's a deed for the resale of a shop. Grandpa, you have a shop."

Old Shen's eyes widened, "Si'er, what did you say?"

The mistress shouted loudly from the side, "My sister-in-law will give you a shop!"

"Little bastard, why are you so loud?!" Old Shen was shocked by the yelling, but he finally came to his senses.

The mistress muttered, "It's not grandpa, can't you hear me?"

Mrs. Liu on the side couldn't help laughing.

Old Shen didn't care about him and looked at the old girl in a panic, "Girl, why did you suddenly give me your shop? Where did you get the money?"

Shen Nuanning hugged her father's arm and said with a smile, "I had some private money, but it's all spent now. Dad, this shop will be yours from now on. You can do whatever you want with it."

Old Shen was confused. He didn't know what he was going to use it for. He had never done business before. "The roast duck business is so good, let's sell roast duck too."

He thought to himself, and his hands were like fire, very hot, "I'm already half buried in the ground, why are you giving it to me? You can keep it for yourself, as a dowry."

Shen Nuanning didn't care. As long as she was here, her parents could live for at least twenty or thirty years. Why would they be buried half-body, they would still live well.

"I can earn it by myself in the future, dad, just keep it."

Mrs. Liu glanced at him and said, "Keep it as long as my daughter asks you to."

The brothers glanced at their mother and pulled Shen Nuanning aside, "Little sister, did you tell mother that you sent the shop to dad?"

They were a little worried that their mother would be angry and jealous, after all, they were sending their father to them instead of their mother.

Shen Nuanning nodded, "I told you."

She originally wanted to give it to both of them, but her mother didn't want it. What she said was for her father was given to her mother, and the husband and wife became one.

After thinking about it, it was really like this. My father was sometimes clumsy and not very smart at ordinary times. My mother made the decision on all the big and small things in the family. Whether it was in her name or not was not that important.

The brothers breathed a sigh of relief.

-

At night, the old couple lay on the same bed, and Old Shen tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

Mrs. Liu closed her eyes and said, "Do you have lice on your body?"

He said with a slight cry, "I really didn't expect that my daughter is so sensible."

His daughter bought him a shop, just for him.

I still remember when he was just born, he was like a kitten, wrinkled and very weak. He just felt distressed and pitiful. He fed him shit and pee, and the feelings in his heart became deeper and deeper. Now he has grown into a big girl. To give him such a surprise.

Sure enough, only the old girl is the best.

He hid the title deed so no one could find it.

The corners of Liu's mouth curved, but the words in her mouth were merciless, "Hurry up and go to bed, you are already a grandpa. If you can't get up tomorrow, I will see if you are embarrassed."

The duck house was still built, and another 2,000 duck eggs were purchased. There were still 100 adult ducks to be slaughtered. People bought adult ducks every day.

Several eldest wives in the village met Cuihua on their way home after cooking.

One person smiled and said, "Cuihua, have you finished your roast duck?"

Another person said, "If the roast duck is not done, the dried pork must be done."

This is really the biggest joke in the village recently. The Cuihua family is jealous of the money earned by Old Shen's family, so they first go to Old Shen's family to sneak around, hoping to get a recipe and sell it themselves.

Of course, Old Shen's family kept their mouths tightly shut and did not say a word. Several villagers passed by and heard it, and the news spread in the village. In addition, another villager said that she had also been targeted by Cuihua. It was not safe. To reveal it, she signed a confidentiality agreement.

Stealing someone's prescription was a serious matter that could ruin someone's livelihood. People in the village looked down upon her behavior and regarded it as a joke.

Cuihua was not discouraged, and felt that she was not bad either. First she made dried meat by herself, and then roasted duck. Unfortunately, she had neither a pot nor an oven, nor any condiments, so it was very unpalatable.

Seeing the people in the village laughing at her, Cuihua was so angry that she didn't expect that even making food would be so difficult. She made it like this even though the old Shen family made it so delicious.
