Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 245 The Fire Is Burning

Shopkeeper Li has been in Zuixianlou for more than half a month, and he has personally seen how the restaurant is revitalized step by step. It can be said that it all depends on the three main dishes and two side dishes provided by Miss Shen, but the new boss seems to be Kick Miss Shen out of the restaurant.

This is really unfair!
Shopkeeper Li tried to explain: "The recipes for these three dishes were provided by Ms. Shen. Of course, the most important thing is that the water used to cook these three dishes is all from the spring water sent by Ms. Shen.
Zhao Mo directly interrupted: "How much is the formula worth? Just buy it out." He said in his heart that the formula has now been in his hands, and the money for the buyout is saved!
Twist the corner of his mouth, and then speak.

"What else? Spring water? Heh~~ Where is there no spring water? This country girl is young and has a lot of crooked ideas, and the water can be sold for money!"
"Zhao Ke's brain, huh~~ What kind of business is it! It's ridiculous!"

The shopkeeper has nothing to say, he is just hired by the Zhao family, how can he have the right to question it?
But he felt that if he broke up with Miss Shen, the future business of the restaurant might be uncertain!
After mocking Zhao Ke for a few words, Zhao Mo looked at Shopkeeper Li: "Then the shareholding contract signed by the country girl and Zhao Ke is in your hands?"

"Yes, boss."

"Go, bring the account book and the contract." Zhao Mo ordered.

Shopkeeper Li said yes, and went downstairs to bring up the account book and contract and hand them over to Zhao Mo.

Zhao Mo first picked up the account book and looked through it. Seeing that last month's profit was 160 taels, 80 taels were distributed to Shen Yu'an, and the small characters beside it said Shen Yu'an was rewarded with a carriage. Zhao Mo couldn't help but sneered again.

Zhao Ke is not only stupid, but also crazy, giving all the money he earned to a country girl, what a prodigal!
This matter must be reported to my father, let alone this restaurant, Zhao Ke will never be allowed to participate in any business in the future, and he will be directly disqualified from doing business.

After looking at the account books, Zhao Mo picked up the contract and glanced at it casually.

"Shenjia Village, Shen Yuan, I will go to her tomorrow and tell her not to send spicy cabbage and water to the restaurant. This contract is also an invalid contract and cannot be counted."

Shopkeeper Li always felt a little unkind. If there were no new dishes provided by Ms. Shen, the restaurant would have closed down a long time ago. Now that the business is good, they will be kicked out. It is really...
It really is a word, no evil, no business!
Shopkeeper Li thought about it, but he mustered up his courage and said, "Boss, do you want to talk to Mr. Zhao Ke about this matter?"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Mo interrupted coldly: "Does Shopkeeper Li not want to stay here anymore?"

Shopkeeper Li shrank his neck in fright, "Forgive me for talking too much, I'll go down and get busy." After speaking, he bowed his body and backed out.

That night, the owner of Zuixianlou was replaced by Zhao Mo, the second son of the Zhao family.

Zhao Mo was much more tactful than Zhao Ke. He went up to offer a toast to every table of guests who visited the restaurant, introduced his identity, and quickly took the restaurant firmly under his control.

The business of the restaurant was much better than he had imagined. It was busy until the end of Haishi, and he at least toasted hundreds of tables of wine. Although he only took a sip, he was still drunk.

The entourage had already tidied up Zhao Ke's room, and even replaced all the furniture with mahogany furniture that fit the identity of the son-in-law. Brought over from Lingzhou City, you can tell from this posture that it is impossible for this restaurant to be handed over to Zhao Ke again.

It was time for Zhao Mo to go to bed after washing up.

It was also the time when Zishi passed. In Shenjia Village, tens of miles away from the county seat, a dark shadow came out from the house of Mrs. Wang in the northwest. With a pot of kerosene in his hand, he went straight to the peach blossom forest in the north under the moonlight. Next to Shen Yu'an's house.

This black shadow is Shen Yuan's evil uncle, Shen Zuorong. Shen Zuorong had stepped on it during the day and knew that there was a horse tethered in Shen Yuan's yard. He sneaked into the yard without making a sound. Pack poison.

A fool actually has a horse, how can he relieve his anger without poisoning it?
How did the horse know that the water was poisoned? It snorted and drank from the sink.

Shen Zuorong smiled darkly, tiptoed to the window and listened for a long time, saw the even breathing coming from inside and everyone fell asleep, so he poured kerosene on the wooden board little by little, and then blew on the torch in his hand He leaned against the wooden board poured with kerosene, and suddenly the house caught fire.

It has not rained for a long time and it is an old house for several years. In addition, the kerosene was poured and the wind was strong, and the house burned quickly.And Shen Zuorong left the yard the moment he lit the fire, and Sa Yazi ran to his house.

Yingxue residence.

At this time, Ding Xiaolian hadn't slept yet, and all the servants were not allowed to sleep. They were all wrapped in bedding and guarded inside and outside the house, and the whole yard was brightly lit.

She is afraid!
Ever since Ji Xun stopped coming to watch the night, she was terrified!
The most frightening thing is that Shen Wen's daughter-in-law deliberately came to Yingxueju to chat with her during the day. During the chat, she said that the house she lived in was a haunted house, and a murder case had occurred here.

Ding Xiaolian knew about this, and she bought it just because she knew about it. She used the reason of "a haunted house" to hire His Highness the Night King to keep watch for her, so that she could find a chance to get along with His Highness the Night King.

Who knew~~ who knew that His Royal Highness the Night King was so immune to women, such a good opportunity would not be able to coax him into bed!
Now that the Night King is not coming, how can she dare to sleep in such a haunted house?
Especially Shen Wen's daughter-in-law deliberately described Shen Xi's death to her vividly, and said that Shen Xi turned into a ghost, and her mother had seen it...

After hearing this, Ding Xiaolian wished he could escape from here immediately. It was like years in this haunted house.

However, the plan was about to be implemented, and she was really unwilling, so she could only suffer like this!
At this moment, the servants who accompanied her couldn't stand it anymore, they fell down on their stomachs, almost fell asleep.

Even Hong Luan at the side covered his head with a quilt and snored lying on the edge of the bed.

"Wake up, wake up for me." Ding Xiaolian had slept enough during the day, and now she didn't feel sleepy at all. Seeing that the surroundings were quiet and everyone was about to fall asleep, she felt terrified and called out loudly stand up.

Hongluan was awakened immediately, and hurriedly hugged Ding Xiaolian to comfort her.

"Miss, don't be afraid, there are people inside and outside the house, you can sleep peacefully."

"I can't sleep!" Ding Xiaolian held her head in pain, as soon as she closed her eyes, she seemed to see a female corpse in pink clothes and red shoes with protruding eyes dangling in front of her eyes, it was too terrifying!
"Didn't you say that the letter has been delivered? Go and see if there is any movement tonight." Ding Xiaolian ordered Hongluan, thinking that the wind is so strong tonight, it should be a good time to make a move.

"Okay, Miss, cover up the quilt so that you don't get cold, and this servant will look over here." Hong Luan tucked the corner of the quilt for Ding Xiaolian as she spoke, and left the room.

Standing in the courtyard and looking to the north for a while, it was pitch black and there was no fire, so I prepared to go back to the house.

Before turning around, the sky over there suddenly brightened, as if something was on fire, so he stood still and continued to stare.Something is indeed burning, and the fire is getting bigger and bigger, and it is the direction of Shen Yu'an's house.

Hongluan was overjoyed immediately, and hurried into the house to get close to Ding Xiaolian's ear: "Miss, it's done, the fire is burning."

"Really?" Ding Xiaolian sat up and put on clothes quickly.

When she got dressed and came to the courtyard, the north direction was already full of flames.

The corners of Ding Xiaolian's lips curled up with pride, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Shen Yuan, you dare to snatch my man. You deserve to be burned to death in the fire, hmph!"
