Chapter 97
Meng Renfu frowned, and asked in a low voice, "What does that little lady think?"

"Girl Yun is a good girl. She has never had any unreasonable thoughts about our son. The purpose of coming to our house twice is pure. The first time I came here was to do business, and the second time I came to play with Qingqing. Qing She taught Qing's needlework! It looks like she doesn't know that Mr. Sanlang is interested in her." Lu Shi sighed.Trouble is trouble here!The little lady is innocent, and it is not easy for her to say anything to others.

Her son is bored in the academy all day long, and she doesn't know if he goes out for a walk on weekdays.What if he went to eat wontons in other people's shops every day and Qiao Yun was tempted by the talk?
Will she still be able to beat mandarin ducks by then?Wouldn't that make his son divorced from him!
"Huh!" Meng Renfu's anger still persisted, "The little lady in the merchant's house also endures hardships and stands hard work, relying on her ability to make a living. If you don't study all day
How can an incompetent beast be worthy of it, and he doesn't even look at the difference between himself and others! "

Meng Shaoqing was stunned, feeling that the sweet and sour pork ribs in her mouth were no longer tasty.

very scary!Why is Dad suddenly so angry?
She asked cautiously: "Then, can I go and play with Sister Ayun tomorrow?"

"Of course." Meng Renfu saw that he had frightened the precious girl, and immediately put on a loving smile, "Then Miss Qiao is a good one, you can hang out with her more."

Only then did Meng Shaoqing heave a sigh of relief, and continued to eat the ribs seriously.

Lu Shi pouted in his heart.

Whether this son is good or bad, she gave birth to it herself.She is just such a son, so she can't help being indulgent on weekdays. Fortunately, there is a father who can restrain and discipline her, so that her son will not be spoiled.

Thinking of this, she put another piece of ribs on Meng Shaoqing's plate, looked at Meng Renfu and asked, "Husband calm down. Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. I invited some wives to play cards in a teahouse. I heard that it happened to be their men." My son also wants to go to the theater together, will you go with me?"

"Go! Of course I have to go with my wife." It just so happens that I can get closer to the gentry.His useless elder brother has already returned to his hometown, and he will get money from these big dogs if he wants to do anything in the future, and he will never pay for it himself again.

"Success, then let's go to Qiao's house to pick up Sister Yun tomorrow..." Shi Lu chattered about his new Yun Xuemei.

……

The streets of Quwo County are filled with the smell of vegetables, whether it is a big restaurant or a small restaurant, the smell of meat is everywhere.

Wild boars are not as fat and fat as domestic black soil pigs, but lean meat with a chewy texture. Even the scattered fat meat has a unique fragrance, which is incomparable to domestic pigs.

In Quwo County and the villages under its rule, common people eat meat mostly to keep fat in their intestines, and wild pork is not very attractive to them.However, the rich and noble families who usually eat too much chicken, duck and fish meat are different. People who eat too much fatty food on weekdays like this one.What's more, doctors say that eating wild pork can cure yang hyperactivity (the ancient saying of high blood pressure), which makes the rich people who are afflicted with affluence even more excited.

Qiao Yun's small shop will definitely not be visited by wealthy people, but the business has been good these few days.

Clean and cheap eateries are very popular among hunters.

Now that the curfew is late, hunters from all walks of life are rich after a hard day's work, and they all like to find a few drinks in those small wine shops.

The taverns opened along the main street have long been overcrowded. A tavern like Qiao Yun's in a small alley, even if it is not far from the entrance of the alley, is not easy to attract people's attention.

In order to grab business, Qiao Yun made a red-lacquered lantern stand from her own game, placed three rows of lanterns, covered it with pieces of cloth that slightly shaded the light, and cut out a huge "wine" character in the middle, like this Come on, the light of the lantern can only shine through the cut hole, and the character "wine" is so bright that it can be seen from a long distance.

Mrs. Sai next door complimented her on this method.

But in this way, Qiao Yun had to scoop up wine for the diners at the front and also go to the back kitchen, so it was really impossible to do both.

She dare not let Yun Xuemei come out to help entertain the guests!

Fortunately, she had anticipated this situation a long time ago, and changed the hard and soft decoration of her shop in advance, and arranged her shop like an izakaya.

The bar takes up half of the store, and behind the bar is a small temporary kitchen with a brick and stone stove, two stove holes, an iron plate on one side and a steamer on the other.In addition, there are two charcoal stoves, one covered with barbed wire as a grill, and the other boils some stock from morning to night.Qiao Yun replaced the floor pavement behind the bar with bluestone slabs, so that it is not easy for water to escape.

In addition to a row of benches surrounding the bar, there are several tables and chairs placed under the window, all of which can seat three or four people.

She has added a few new recipes, all of which are good dishes for drinking.Iron plate tofu, white water meat, grilled sea bass with scallion sauce, and various grilled items, such as chicken legs, chicken wings, chicken skin, grilled lamb, grilled pork belly, grilled eggplant, etc.

In restaurants and restaurants, wine is an indispensable thing.

Qiao Yun sells two types of wine, one is Fenqing. At that time, there was no mature technology for distilling alcohol, and now Fenqing is still a kind of rice wine.The other is water wine with a lower alcohol content and a slightly sweeter taste. Qiao Yun prepares cheap turbid wine, which is popular among literati at this time. It's this dirty wine.

The hunters from other places are not very fond of fish, and they all prefer pork and mutton.Qiao Yun is not expensive, mutton costs three cents a bunch, and pork belly costs two cents a bunch.The shop is small, and it is difficult to stretch your arms. After roasting the meat, Qiao Yun rolls the meat from the top to the plate, so as not to poke her mouth.

Although the curfew was at twelve o'clock in the evening, the hunters who had been busy all day during the day rested early.It's only ten o'clock in the evening, and the store has become deserted.

Qiao Yun cleaned the tables and chairs, packed the dishes, and sat back behind the counter.She took out the dustpan where she put the money from under the counter, and piles of coins jingled and rattled, which was very pleasant to hear.

"This group of people can really eat, don't they eat at night?"

Just as he was about to write down all the money and string it up in his free time, another person came in at the door.

Qiao Yun hurriedly put the account book aside, reflexively said: "Guest officer, please."

After saying this, she looked at the late-night visitor intently, and she couldn't help but be surprised.

This man was wearing a round collar gown with a sash around his waist, which was different from the copper and iron sash on Tang Bantou's body. The sash on this man's waist was silver, which meant that he was at least a seventh-rank official!
Isn't there only one county magistrate in a county town with a seventh-rank official!Why is he here?

Qiao Yun murmured in her heart, but still pointed to the bar: "Is there one for you? Please sit down as you please."

Meng Renfu sat on the edge of the bar.This position is just right to see the stove at the back, and the chef can watch the large-scale symphony of color and fragrance in the first time while cooking.

Meng Renfu came to visit the store late at night, because he wanted to have some supper.The second is to see who the little lady who "fascinated her son" in his wife's mouth is.

Now seeing Qiao Yun, he was even more puzzled.

Such a child who hasn't grown up yet, there is no conclusion on whether he is beautiful or ugly. He is not as good-looking as his precious girl right now. Will his son look at her?Are you kidding me?
