Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 276
"Brother Zhao, why are you here?"

Zhao Ke turned his back to Shen Yuan, and turned his head when he heard Shen Yuan's shout.

Shen Yuan was taken aback when he saw his unshaven appearance. Is this still the suave young man from before? I thought I had admitted the wrong person.

"Miss Shen, I'm sorry." Zhao Ke apologized to Shen Yuan with guilt as soon as he saw her.

Seeing that he seemed to be in a low mood, Shen Yuan joked: "Don't~~ You didn't feel sorry for me when you went to the brothel, but I have a husband, Ah Xun~~'
Ji Xun, who was standing by the side, came over, hooked Shen Yuan's shoulder, and stared at Zhao Ke slightly with the corners of his lips.

"Master Ji, that's not what I meant." Zhao Ke hurriedly explained, "I'm very sorry for my second brother who asked Miss Shen to withdraw her shares from Zuixianlou. I'm really sorry."

"Nothing." Ji Xun said lightly.

Shen Yuan didn't know what to say, so he said silently: "Brother Zhao, it's been a long time since we saw each other, why have you lost so much weight? What happened at home?" The blow is the same.

"It's nothing, it's just that my biological mother died of illness." Zhao Ke shook his head slightly, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes. His biological mother died of illness, and his aunt and brother suppressed him everywhere, so he had almost no place in Zhao's residence.

Two days ago, he had an argument with Zhao Yuanwai, and at the instigation of his aunt, Zhao Yuanwai drove him out of the mansion, and Zhao Ke came directly to Wantian County.

I went to Shenjia Village first, and saw that Shen Yuan's house was closed and locked. The neighbors said that their family moved to the county.

After inquiring around in the county, she found out that she bought a brothel called Fengminglou on Wanhua Street and planned to turn it into a restaurant, so she came to find her.

It just so happened that the signboard of 'Fengming Tower' was picked up by Ji Xun during the day, Zhao Ke didn't find it and was about to leave, Shen Yuan saw him.

Hearing Zhao Ke say that his biological mother had passed away, Shen Yuan also felt a little sad. It must be because of this reason that Zhao Ke left Wantian County in a hurry and didn't even say hello.

"Brother Zhao is sad, Auntie Quanxia knows and doesn't want you to be decadent because of this." Shen Yu'an comforted, and a trace of sympathy could not help but float in his heart.

Zhao Mo is such an insidious and cunning person, even his own younger brother is probably included in his calculations. Look at Zhao Ke's sad and disappointed expression? It's like being abandoned by his family. It's different from the appearance when he first saw him in Zuixian Tower. If there are two people.

"Yeah, I'm fine, Miss Shen, don't worry about me." Zhao Ke hid the sadness in his eyes and smiled indifferently.

"It's fine." Shen Yu'an sighed inwardly, thinking of borrowing money, he said generously, "By the way, Brother Zhao, I wanted to ask you for help just now. Do you have 200 taels of silver on you? Let me borrow it first." a bit.'
"Yes." Zhao Ke answered very straightforwardly, and directly took out his wallet, "Is 200 taels enough? Is it enough?" The richest son of Lingzhou, no matter how poor he is, he still has some money.

Seeing Zhao Ke answering so quickly without any hesitation, Ji Xun was also taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but look deeply at him.

"Enough, I will pay you back within one month." Shen Yuan took the bank note from Zhao Ke.

"What are you talking about? This amount of money is not enough for me to express my respect for Miss Shen. By the way, your restaurant will open on the 21st, right? I will come then." After Zhao Ke finished speaking, he rushed to Ji Xun and Shen Yuan Nodded, turned and left.

Looking at Zhao Kexiu's skinny back, Shen Yuan shook his head helplessly, not knowing how to help him.

He Jixun took the 200 taels of silver and sold the other two brothels at the price of 90 taels of silver.After that, the two returned to the restaurant, washed and went to bed.

The next day, everyone got up early in the morning.

Ji Xun took five guys to buy tables and chairs, make signs and so on.

Shen Yuan had to take Ji Feng to Qinglin Academy to sign up today, and the matter of ordering dishes and recipes had to be postponed.

But you can first take the time to teach Brother Shen how to 'fry sugar color'.

Shen Yuan doesn't know about other places, but none of the chefs in the restaurants here in Wantian County can fry sugar.

Stir-fried sugar color' also requires skill. If the heat is not enough, the dish will be too sweet and affect the taste.

Even if the heat is too high, the color of the fried sugar will turn black, which will affect the color. Only when the heat is just right will the color be bright and increase the appetite of diners.

Shen Yuan first demonstrated and explained the main points. Brother Shen is a serious person, although the words are crooked, he memorized them.

After Shen Yuan left, he tried again and again.

Shen Yuan left other matters to Aunt Liu to arrange, and Aunt Liu was often more careful than Shen Yuan, and it was more reassuring to leave it to her than to do it by herself.

Ji Feng knew that he was going to see his husband in the academy today, so he got dressed early in the morning, picked out his favorite clothes, and put on a light green fox fur cape, like a noble young man.

When Shen Yuan came to him, he was talking to the little white rabbit he had worked so hard to raise in the gazebo, and told the mother rabbit and the babies that he was going to school, and he had no time to feed them himself in the future. They have to be obedient.

"Ah Feng, let's go." Shen Yuan yelled into the gazebo with a burden on his back, and Ji Feng ran out, holding Shen Yuan's hand, and the two walked out of the courtyard.

The little guy who was about to be imprisoned in the school kept asking Shen Yuan questions with a little anticipation and a little apprehension in his heart.

Where is the college, who is the dean? When will I go home? There are a lot of questions.

Hearing that he normally has to live in the college, and he can only go home when he is repairing Shen, the little guy felt sad for a while.

After Shen Yu'an stroked his little head and brainwashed it, the little guy's emotions were mobilized, and he chanted the little slogan of "study hard to take the number one prize, and give his sister-in-law an imperial order in the future", and cheered himself hard in his heart.

Shen Yuan took Ji Feng out of the backyard to Tai'an Street, planning to buy some gifts for Dean Yao here.

It happened that 'Wenbaoxuan' was on Tai'an Street, so Shen Yuan took Ji Feng's hand and walked in.

The chunky boss with a bright forehead was sitting at the counter and figuring out his abacus. He didn't look up when he heard a customer coming, and said hello, "Look around."

Shen Yuan didn't know what to think of it, but he knew that Wen Baoxuan's business could continue in this powder street, and there must be a reason for it, so he smiled and said: "Boss Liu, my younger brother is going to sign up for the academy today, please help me Pick some gifts."

Boss Liu raised his head when he felt the voice was familiar. After thinking about it for a while, he remembered Shen Yuan, and quickly smiled.

"Yo, Miss Shen, is that you?"

How can Boss Zhao not recognize the amazing performance of Shen Yuan and Ji Xun on the day of Lantern Guessing?
Then he came out from the counter and said courteously: "Which academy do you want to enter, young master?" He has been doing business on this street for so long, so he naturally knows enough about the preferences of the masters and deans of the private schools and colleges. ask.

"Qinglin Academy." Shen Yuan answered while admiring the calligraphy and paintings hanging in the store and the Four Treasures of the Study.

"If Miss Shen doesn't dislike it, how many can I pick for you?"

"Okay, I'm going to trouble Boss Liu." Shen Yuan smiled at him, and let him choose.

Soon, Boss Liu picked out a set of the Four Treasures of the Study, a painting and calligraphy, and several other exquisite gadgets.

The boss took the initiative to give Shen Yuan a reasonable price, Shen Yuan thanked him, paid the money and took the packaged gift to Qinglin Academy.
