Chapter 48 Ten Niangs
Summer is coming as promised, and of course the hot summer is more suitable for food stalls!

Meng Liangchen considered that the thinking of people in this dynasty could not catch up with the openness of modern people, so he didn't put the table on the street, and the law and order in the capital didn't allow it.

She hung a few rows of lanterns outside the restaurant, brightly lit, and arranged the lanterns into a "string" to attract customers. She opened the restaurant as usual during the day and turned on the night food stall mode at night.

The guy who grilled the skewers was at the gate of the restaurant, and the scented fireworks rushed all over the street. The street was full of fragrance, and the passers-by who came and went could not help but want to go over and get two skewers to take home to taste. taste.

The business of the restaurant is good, and the drinks are used up quickly. Among the proprietresses who serve drinks to "Judian Ke", there is a woman in her thirties who runs a small winery by herself, specializing in peach blossom brewing, and almost every once in a while. Come and deliver a drink to the restaurant.

I don't know why today, but I came a bit late, Xiaoer saw the carriage coming and hurried forward to unload the goods.

"Ten Niang, why is it so late today?"

Xiao Er was chatting with the proprietress while unloading the goods. Although Shi Niang is already in her 30s, she has a very good face and looks, and she doesn't look like a village woman. temperament.

"Some things at home have been delayed. I'm really sorry. I wonder if it has delayed the business of the restaurant?"

Ten Niang helped unload the goods, and apologized to Xiao Er apologetically.

Xiao Er smiled and shook his head: "No, it's just that your wine is selling very well. If you don't deliver it tonight, the last bottle will be ordered away by the guests."

Shi Niang and Xiao Er brought all the drinks in, stood at the door and hesitated for a while, then walked into the "Joint Eater" to find the shopkeeper.

"The treasurer."

The shopkeeper was reconciling the account, and when he saw Shi Niang approaching, he immediately put down the account book in his hand.

"Hey, ten ladies, have today's drinks been delivered?"

Ten Niang nodded, and with some embarrassment, she used her hand to pin the hair next to her ear.

"Shopkeeper, can you pay me this month's wine bill in advance?"

The shopkeeper was a little surprised and asked, "Isn't the settlement done on the 25th of every month? It's only the 18th today. What's the matter, is there something urgent for Ten Niangzi?"

Shi Niang nodded embarrassingly: "It's something at home, can the shopkeeper help me?"

The shopkeeper looked upstairs, and said: "I am willing, and the boss is also there, so I will go and ask you for instructions, just wait."

When Shi Niang heard that Meng Liangchen was there, she nodded immediately, and the shopkeeper left to find Meng Liangchen. Meng Liangchen was doing experiments with roses in the room, and she agreed immediately after hearing this.

Meng Liangchen was deeply impressed by this ten-mother, firstly, she made good wine and was capable, and secondly, she was beautiful, and she was so capable, she was an admirable woman.

But what Meng Liangchen was curious about was that she had never met Shi Niang's husband, and every time she came to deliver wine, Shi Niang came by herself, so he didn't know what was going on in her family.

Surprisingly, ten days later, Shi Niang came to deliver the wine and asked the shopkeeper for the bill again.

"It wasn't settled ten days ago, why do you have to settle the bill again so soon?"

The shopkeeper asked curiously, he didn't care about the money, but was just curious about why Shi Niang needed money so frequently, and they had become friends after doing business for a long time, and the shopkeeper was worried about what happened to Shi Niang.

Shi Niang and the shopkeeper have known each other since five years ago, and the shopkeeper knows a little about her family's situation. Shi Niang is not well married, and the man in the family is an alcoholic. Qian made trouble and was beaten and locked in a prison, but I heard that he has also come out recently.

On weekdays, his men don't do anything, they drink and gamble, and the whole family relies on Shi Niang's brewery for a living, and Shi Niang's men lose all the money in the family.

Now Shi Niang's man has owed gambling debts outside, and has been imprisoned again, leaving her with an old woman who is suffering from illness at home, and the already difficult life is even worse.

The shopkeeper asked speculatively: "Did someone from the gambling shop come to collect debts?"

Ten Niang's complexion was not good. When asked by the shopkeeper, a look of embarrassment flashed across her face, and she finally nodded embarrassingly.

"They've been pressing you hard for the past two days, and my mother's medicine is almost finished. I'm really helpless. Otherwise, I wouldn't come to you so frequently to pay the bill."

At this time, Meng Liangchen just came down from upstairs, heard the conversation between the two, and walked down to stand in front of the counter.

"Boss, give it to Ten Niang."

Seeing that it was Meng Liangchen, Shi Niang bowed slightly in embarrassment to say hello.

"Boss, I'm sorry, I..."

Meng Liangchen interrupted her and said: "It's okay, if you need it, you can come and pick it up anytime, and you can pay for the wine one time at a time."

Ten Niang nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Master."

Meng Liangchen looked at her pale face, and reminded: "Shi Niang, your complexion is not right, you should pay attention to rest, if you are too busy, don't come to deliver it by yourself next time, I will ask the waiter to fetch it, and the wine money will be settled by the way. "

When Shi Niang heard what Meng Liangchen said, she was even more grateful and didn't know what to do. Meng Liangchen ordered the assistant to send Shi Niang's car back. Looking at Shi Niang's stumbling back, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Seven days later, the wine in the restaurant was almost gone, and the man went to get wine from Shi Niang, and ran back after a short while, with his face still bruised.

"The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper!"

The shopkeeper was reconciling the account as usual behind the counter. Seeing the clerk running in in such a hurry, he raised his head and looked over in bewilderment.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" He fixed his eyes on the wound on the guy's face, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with your face?"

The clerk ran out of breath, and said angrily to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, quickly find some people to save Ten Niang!"

When the shopkeeper heard it, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly put down the abacus in his hand and asked, "What's wrong with Ten Niang?"

"I don't know where a group of people came from. When I was going to fetch wine, they were going to Shi Niang's house to ask for money. Shi Niang couldn't get that much money, so they started smashing and smashing the wine brewed in Shi Niang's wine shop. They smashed all the wine, even the ones I put on the car, I didn’t let them smash it, and beat me too!”

The expression on the cabinet's face changed drastically, but at this time, when it was almost noon, the guests entered the restaurant one after another, and it was impossible for him to spare so many people to help Shi Niang.

At this time, Meng Liangchen had just come from the general's mansion, and when he entered the door, he saw the shopkeeper talking to the guy who was beaten.

"what happened?"

Seeing Meng Liangchen coming, the shopkeeper seemed to have found the backbone: "Boss, Shi Niang's wine shop has been smashed, and she doesn't even have a man in charge at home, Shi Niang is afraid that she may be in trouble."

 Thank you uoos little angel for the monthly pass, okay?
