I am Fugui

Chapter 39 The Merry Wang Wenchang

Xu Fugui was very happy to get a new lo-mei stall, but he still didn't forget to say: "Jiazhen, you usually have a lot of heart, you have a big belly, so don't be careless."

Jiazhen nodded helplessly, "Understood, this is not the first time having a baby, so you don't have to worry about me."

"I don't worry about you, do I worry about other women?"

Jiazhen snorted, and looked at him resentfully, "Didn't you just like to worry about other women before?"

Xu Fugui laughed twice, unwilling to say more on this topic, he was a bastard before.

Together with Laishun, they put the lo-mei on the stall. Compared with before, this stall looks more formal, and it is also cleaner and hygienic, and the customer's perception will be better.

"Jiazhen, these are the dried shiitake mushrooms that Uncle Sun gave us. I marinated some and brought them here for you and Fengxia to try."

Jiazhen took it, opened it and took a look, "I'll take it back and eat it with my dad."

There was no business in the early morning, so Xu Fugui put the canvas that had just been torn off on the floor, sat down, patted his back, and motioned her to sit here.

Jiazhen rolled her beautiful eyes, "You don't have to be ashamed, I don't want to dip into a pig cage."

As she said that, she opened the door of the cabinet under the stall, and there was actually a vacuum inside, and there were two wooden benches. Jiazhen took out one, and slowly sat down while supporting her waist.

At this moment, she realized that Fugui and Laishun were wearing straw sandals, and pursed her lips, "Fugui, come to the house after closing the stall tomorrow."

Xu Fugui's eyes lit up, "My father-in-law asked me to go?"

Jiazhen covered her mouth and let out a snort, "What are you thinking? Why would my father invite you to the house? I want you to get the cloth shoes. Look, your feet are purple from the cold."

Xu Fugui looked down, and said nonchalantly: "Mother made cloth shoes for me, but how dare you wear them on those muddy roads, they will be worn out after one trip. Straw sandals are better, and I don't feel sorry for spoiling them."

"No, it's useless to wear more clothes if your feet are not warm."

"Others don't dress like this." Xu Fugui muttered.

Jiazhen had no choice but to point out his pale finger on his forehead, "Why are you so hardworking now? Are you lucky or not?"

Xu Fugui smiled happily, "Of course I am Fugui, the one who can endure hardship."

"Then you still have to come and get it tomorrow. I also made some for my parents. It's stuffed with cotton and it's very hot."

With that said, Jiazhen took off the white scarf around her neck, and made a gesture to put it on for him, "If you wear this little, you won't be afraid of catching a cold. Even Fengxia knows how to wear more."

Xu Fugui didn't answer, changed the subject, and asked curiously: "My father-in-law can let you come out to see me casually?"

Fengxia interrupted, "Of course grandpa is not happy, but he can't say anything about my mother, and he can't control us."

Xu Fugui was silent, then sighed, "Jiazhen, you should be nicer to Dad, he has worried a lot about us."

"Father must know about the things you gave me. We can't lie to ourselves."

"Hmph, I still need you to tell me. Of course I know how to be filial to my father, but it's you. Just don't be angry with him anymore."

"I don't want to. I still want to respect him more, but unfortunately I don't have the ability now."

The old man is much more powerful than him. Not only does he control most of the rice grain in the county, he is also the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce in Yunxi County.

Jiazhen smiled and asked if the sweet potatoes and potatoes at home were ripe.

Xu Fugui nodded, "It's almost done. I'm planning to dig in the next two days. Mother also made some salted cabbage in the jar. She said you like to eat this. By the way, there are also salted duck eggs."

"Salted duck eggs, Fengxia likes salted duck eggs the most!" Fengxia said happily.

Jiazhen wanted to say something, but suddenly a customer came, Xu Fugui quickly got up from the ground, and put on a smile to sell.

This customer made a start, and the business has gradually improved, but the naked eye can see that it is not as busy as before.

"Jiazhen, take Fengxia back first, it's really cold, don't blow it." Xu Fugui took the time to say.

Jiazhen nodded, and the servants hurriedly brought a rickshaw for her, and she took Fengxia away.

"Fugui, business is booming."

Near noon, Wang Wenchang suddenly appeared outside Wang's Restaurant. Despite the cold weather, he was still holding a folding fan in his hand, with a cynical smile on his mouth. The dark circles on his face were obvious, and his eyes were a little depressed. He looked like he hadn't woken up.

Xu Fugui smiled inexplicably, and cupped his hands, "Young Master Wang has another night of spring dinner, which is simply enviable."

Wang Wenchang licked his lips, as if reminiscing about last night, opened the folding fan and shook his head and said, "Fugui, listen to me carefully, the new batch of women in the brothel."

Wang Wenchang didn't treat him as an outsider, and told about the beauty of the women in the brothel yesterday, which made Xu Fugui and Laishun's mouth dry.

After Wang Wenchang finished speaking, he closed his eyes, "Excellent, it is simply excellent. Tomorrow night, I have to try it to experience different fun."

Lai Shun said bluntly, "Why don't you go tonight?"

Wang Wenchang helped his waist, "There is something important tonight, and a woman's career is not important."

Laishun nodded suddenly.

Wang Wenchang handed the folding fan to the servants beside him, and approached the lo-mei stall to look at it, "Fugui, your stall has also changed, it's not bad, Xu Ji lo-mei, and it will become a time-honored brand in the future, without pig ears?"

Xu Fugui shook his head, "Nope, pig ears are the best sellers, and they are sold out first."

Wang Wenchang shook his head regretfully, and asked his servants to take out a pair of pig kidneys and a pair of sheep kidneys, "Help me take them back and marinate them, let's see how they taste when marinated."

Xu Fugui took it, patted his chest and said no problem.

Wang Wenchang picked up a stewed egg and ate it, nodded, picked up another stewed duck egg, waved his hand and entered the restaurant.

"Master, this young master of the Wang family is quite interesting." Lai Shun said.

"It's really interesting."

After selling the lo-mei for seven or eight dollars, the two packed up the few remaining lo-mei and carried the stall to the back kitchen of Wang's Restaurant together.

Xu Fugui carefully stacked the canvas that was torn off just now, and prepared to take it away together.

This canvas is not cheap, and it is waterproof, he is not willing to make it cheaper for others.

Not in a hurry to leave the county seat, he bought everything the family needed one by one according to Xu's mother's instructions last night, and then went to buy a lot of cotton.

Once it is spent, all the money earned today is spent again.

Lai Shun looked very distressed, but Xu Fugui felt that it was quite good. Silver dollars are spent when they are earned. Of course it is good to save them, but it is more important to improve the living standard of the family.

After buying something, the two walked out of the county again with big bags and small bags, so they had to go back to have a meal and dig out the sweet potatoes in the field.
