above the point of the knife

Chapter 72

Yurong is so close that she can be broken with a flick of a finger.

Not at this time.

When will you stay?

Without hesitation, Zhou Sen put on those two rosy and soft lips, and all the pain in his chest disappeared in a short while.

Bai Yulan was also stunned, she didn't expect Zhou Sen to be so bold, and took this opportunity to kiss her forcefully, and was about to make a move.

At this time, Zhou Sen was already intoxicated, he put his arms around her waist, and kissed her desperately.

Now that everything has been done, how can there be no halfway?
In his life, he had never kissed a girl like this before, and he finally had the opportunity to do something that he had never dared to do before.

On the other hand, Ah Xiang stared at the two in astonishment, what's going on?
"release?"

"Not loose!"

"Are you loose?" Bai Yulan's cheeks were as red as Huo Shaoxia's. She had never been kissed forcibly in her life.

No, the old horse doesn't have...

"You promise not to chase me away or beat me up, so I will let go." Zhou Sen felt a dull pain in his chest at this moment, but he still held Bai Yulan tightly. It would be nice to hug her soft body for a while longer. a treat.

This is real pain and joy.

"Okay, I promise you." Bai Yulan was ashamed and anxious, why did she get involved with such a rascal?

"keep your word?"

"When did I, Bai Yulan, stop talking?"

"Okay, I believe you." Zhou Sen let go slowly, and the two separated.

"Ah Xiang, beat this apprentice to me, and he is not allowed to step into the Ningxiang Pavilion!" Bai Yulan snatched the brass heater from Zhou Sen's hand, her pretty face turned cold, and she ordered to Axiang .

"what?"

"I knew you would regret it." Zhou Sen stroked his chest and said, "Hey, only women and villains are hard to raise!"

"Sister Lan, you haven't thought about tea or food these two days. Brother Sen finally came, why do you still drive people away?" A Xiangshen assisted.

Bai Yulan's cold face quickly lost its hold.

Zhou Sen laughed "hehe", she was really pretending, this woman is just "duplicate", just now she just couldn't keep her face, but in fact, if I don't have you in my heart, how can I let you hug me for so long?

"Ashanti!"

"Oh, my chest hurts so much..." Zhou Sen screamed. Although he was wearing a lot of thick clothes, Bai Yulan's slap just now really hurt.

Why is this woman's hands so strong? She really deserves to be brought up practicing martial arts since she was a child. If she married her back home, wouldn't her husband be weak in the future?
Bai Yulan had already entered the room angrily, Ah Xiang came to help Zhou Sen, and carefully asked him where the pain was, and whether he wanted to see a doctor?
Zhou Sen grinned: "It's okay, let's go to the kitchen, Brother Sen told you to cook chicken."

"What chicken?"

"Do you want to eat beggar's chicken or spicy pot chicken?"

"Beggar's chicken, I heard that this is a famous dish, Brother Sen, can you cook it?" Ah Xiang's eyes lit up when he heard about the cooking.

"Okay, I'll see if I have any materials at home. If not, at this hour, if I go to the vegetable market to buy them, there is still time." Zhou Sen nodded.

After checking the items stored in the kitchen and the vegetable cellar, the two went directly to the North Market outside Daowai (it should be called Fujiadian at this time).

At this time, there are not many people buying vegetables, but most of the shops are still open, and the dishes are slightly less.

There are very few fresh vegetables. They are basically dried and frozen products. There are live fish, but they are relatively expensive.

In fact, it is not necessary, this live fish is taken from the water, and it will be frozen in a short time, so it is better to buy frozen fish directly.

"Brother Sen, I want to eat fish?"

"Okay, buy it!"

"Brother Sen, I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs."

"Are there no ribs at home?" Zhou Sen asked.

"It's gone."

"Okay, let's buy less today, it's too much, in case you can't carry it in a while." Zhou Sen nodded.

After a while, Zhou Sen and Ah Xiang picked out the things they wanted to buy, one chicken, two fish, three catties of pork ribs, mushrooms, vermicelli, louvers, etc., especially those necessary for making beggar chicken Lotus leaf, I bought this after asking several stores, it was really not easy.

Come back fully loaded.

Back at the Ningxiang Restaurant, the two of them started to get busy in the kitchen. Tonight, what Zhou Sen was going to do was sweet and sour pork ribs, beggar's chicken and West Lake vinegar fish, and the other one was stewed dried shredded rice. The child likes sweets, so he made a glutinous rice dumpling.

"Be careful, I'll come..." The beggar chicken was ready, and it was taken out of the stove. Zhou Sen told Ah Xiang to go away and come over by himself.

"Just put it there, it won't be cold for a while, and the temperature is just right when you eat it."

"Sister Lan, it's time to eat." Ah Xiang called out, and Bai Yulan was studying some design drafts of teahouses and restaurants brought by Zhou Sen under the lamp.

She had never heard of many things, but Zhou Sen was different from her after all. What he didn't know didn't mean that others didn't know.

Only the details can see the real skill.

According to Zhou Sen's design plan, if these two stores are really opened in the future, they should be able to make money.

But there is a lot of investment, and there are many things to do. This week, Zhou Sen is definitely going to be the shopkeeper, and she is destined to do these things.

Fortunately, there are more than a dozen sisters in Ningxiang Hall who are willing to accompany her. Most of these people are old and unwilling to make troubles, and they are grateful and willing to advance and retreat with her.

These people can be regarded as the team for her comeback.

These days, it is not uncommon for restaurants and teahouses to use women's running halls and women's tea doctors, but if they are all used, then there are not many.

Teahouses need pastry chefs, restaurants need chefs, these are hard to find, and she doesn't plan to recruit locally in Bingcheng.

You can go to surrounding cities, even Xinjing and Fengtian.

Anyway, for a while, these two stores will not be able to open.

These all need money. In the past, she had to spend it tighter. Now at least she doesn't have to worry about money.

What does a teahouse rely on to attract customers? In addition to service, it must also have the characteristics to retain customers, such as resident artists, those who talk about cross talk, those who tell stories, and those who sing big drums.

If there is a famous artist who is willing to sign a contract to rent out the venue, then the business will be considered stable. Generally, famous artists basically have fixed cooperation venues. If they want to poach someone, they have to spend a lot of money, and they have to take the risk of offending others...

This is also one of the reasons why Bai Yulan easily made up her mind to transform in the past.

It is not something that can be decided by patting your head.

It's better to cultivate by yourself, or raise your own little character, but the effect is too slow. If you have no other choice, you can only find some entertainers.

This thought was all about the matter, and Ah Xiang called three times before she heard it.

"Sister Lan, the dishes are ready, let's eat." Ah Xiang said as she brought in the last big muddy egg.

"what is this?"

"Beggar Chicken, brother Sen made it." Ah Xiang said with a smile.

"He still does this?" Bai Yulan asked in surprise.

"Brother Sen knows a lot. This must be delicious. Sister Lan, you must eat more later." Ah Xiang said.

Zhou Sen washed his hands, wiped his face and came in from the outside: "Ah Xiang, why didn't you take out the beggar chicken?"

"Brother Sen, I'm waiting for you to knock it open yourself."

"Hehe, don't be so troublesome." Zhou Sen chuckled, took the specially prepared wooden stick from Axiang's hand, tapped it lightly, and the mud wrapped in the lotus leaves fell off one after another.

"It smells so good!" A fragrance of lotus leaves came out immediately, and even Bai Yulan couldn't help showing curiosity.

Untie the lotus leaf to reveal a whole chicken inside. The aroma of the chicken mixed with the fragrance of the lotus leaf immediately stimulates the taste buds to secrete body fluid, and an urge to eat arises spontaneously.

"Come on, Yulan, eat a chicken leg!" Zhou Sen reached out and tore off a chicken leg and put it in Bai Yulan's bowl.

"Axiang, you have one too." He gave the other drumstick to Axiang.

Bai Yulan's expression was slightly different, but she didn't say anything. She took a bite of the chicken leg with her chopsticks, it was tender and tender, and it was really delicious.

Then there were sweet and sour pork ribs and West Lake vinegar fish. Bai Yulan had eaten them before, but the two dishes she cooked in front of her were indeed much better than she had imagined.

Three people, four dishes and one soup, and it went on like this.

After eating and drinking enough, and tidying up the dishes, Ah Xiang rushed to do it. She ate the most, and if she didn't move around a bit to digest food, she probably wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

"Have you read my design and re-planning?" Zhou Sen asked, he didn't just come here because of something.

"The planning is good, but the investment is not small, and it is quite difficult to implement it." Bai Yulan stretched out her hand and rubbed her temples.

"Let me help you attract some firepower. If there is no movement on your side, Su Wenqing and Qin Laoqi are probably worried. They must find a way to continue to put pressure on you, and then find someone to monitor you, or even bribe you The people around you will bury nails for you." Zhou Sen said, "People like them have always been used to dominating me, and they will not give up until they achieve their goals."

"How do you attract firepower?"

"I registered a company, and you sign a lease agreement with me to lease a part of Ningxiang Hall to my company, and I will open a tea shop." Zhou Sen said.

"Couldn't you be planning on my Ningxiang Pavilion?"

"What idea do I have for you? Mine is not yours. It's just left-handed and right-handed. If you want, Senji, you are the proprietress. You can sign the agreement yourself. You can write it however you want." Zhou Sen chuckled.

When Bai Yulan heard this, a blush suddenly appeared on her cheeks.

"This is a cover, to cover up what we really want to do, understand, otherwise, if the two of them find out and make trouble for you, it's hard to say whether the tea garden and restaurant can be opened." Zhou Sen said, "Furthermore Say, you have more than a dozen people like this, you must find something for them to do, find someone to teach them how to cook, learn to make pastries, and manage, kill two birds with one stone."

"Can this work?"

"Yes, you just have to trust me, I won't lose money on what I make." Zhou Sen chuckled, "When I get home, I'll study the recipes and make sure to make money."

"Are you not doing your job right now?" Bai Yulan asked.

"To be honest, being a policeman is boring. I want to quit the job, but wearing this clothes, I can't help myself. I can't help it." Zhou Sen said.

"You don't want to do it anymore, is there someone forcing you to do it?" Bai Yulan asked in surprise.

Zhou Sen sighed and said, "Forget it, you don't understand even after talking about it."

"How do you know I don't understand if you don't tell me?" Bai Yulan asked with beautiful eyes.

"It's not so easy to refuse to work for the Japanese. They won't respect your wishes. If you don't do it, you will be in disaster." Zhou Sen sighed, "Besides, with this body, you can have more skin." Even if Qin Laoqi and Su Wenqing want to attack me, they have to weigh it."

When Zhou Sen left, he carried in his bosom a small bottle of medicinal wine that Bai Yulan had secretly stuffed, which was said to have been passed down from her family.

Sure enough, it still hurts.
