After being turned into cannon fodder, I relied on involution to survive

Chapter 72 Zheng’s Restaurant
The three members of the Ji family gathered together and discussed each other for a long time, until the sun went down. Seeing that the curfew was about to begin in the capital, they had already tentatively agreed on the follow-up plan, and then they looked together as naturally as possible. Returned to his home.

But Yu Zizhen, who had disturbed the Ji family's muddy water, immediately returned to her previous child's figure and appearance after leaving the Ji family incense shop and returning to the private room of the teahouse.

After putting the uneaten snacks into the system warehouse, Yu Zizhen picked up the tea cup and poured himself two cups of tea. Then he walked slowly to the door of the private room, opened the door and said to the two guards guarding the door: "Let's go. , let’s go out and continue shopping.”

The two guards, who were originally wondering why she stayed there for so long, immediately and spontaneously figured out the reason why Yu Zizhen stayed here for so long after their eyes glanced at the empty snack plates on the table.

The two of them quickly glanced at Yu Zizhen's still flat belly, thinking that there was no trace of it, and the villain in their hearts couldn't help but call out "good guy".

After following Yu Zizhen to settle the bill and leave the teahouse, the two of them acted as human Christmas trees again.

As Yu Zizhen continued to purchase, their finally free hands were once again filled with all kinds of gadgets.

After walking and shopping like this, about half an hour later, Yu Zizhen finally arrived at her second destination of the trip - Zheng's restaurant at the end of this long street.

The restaurant is very small, and the tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks inside are also very old, but everywhere you look, whether it's the walls, floors, tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks, they have been tidied up and cleaned very clean.

Yu Zizhen found a table by the window and sat down, and then called to the two guards who were standing there, somewhat at a loss, "You guys should sit down too. Don't pay attention to unnecessary etiquette when you go out. Leave your things empty. On the bench, you can order whatever you want to eat."

The two guards looked at each other, and then sat down on the bench opposite Yu Zizhen.

They also carefully placed the messy gadgets that Yu Zizhen bought on the two benches facing Yu Zizhen.

Yu Zizhen waved to the restaurant owner who was in charge of greeting the customers, "Please bring me a roast chicken, a vinegar cabbage, and a bowl of clear noodles."

The two guards didn't dare to order, so they each ordered a bowl of noodles with pickled cabbage and shredded pork.

Yu Zizhen was not one to treat her subordinates harshly. Seeing this, she directly divided the roast chicken she ordered.

She asked the restaurant owner to leave a complete chicken wing for her alone, and asked the restaurant owner to put the rest on another plate and place it in front of the two guards.

The chef of the restaurant is the wife of the owner of the restaurant, the girl who is responsible for helping his wife is the couple's youngest daughter, and the person who is responsible for running the restaurant with the owner and collecting money is their second son.

The two originally had an eldest son, but unfortunately, after he was expropriated by the imperial court last year, there was no news about him.

It is worth mentioning that their eldest son was actually engaged to the girl next door when he was five or six years old.

After being selected for military service, the boy knew that there was little hope of returning safely, so he talked to his parents and offered to break off the engagement with his fiancée.To express their apology, the man's family took the initiative to say that they would not take back the bride price.

However, the woman's family disagreed.Their family usually makes a living by doing odd jobs, and their family is far less wealthy than their neighbor who runs a small business. They finally managed to get into such a good relationship by taking advantage of the convenient location. The girl's parents also hope that their daughter and son-in-law will be the head of the family in the future, and they can lend a hand. Naturally, the other children of his own family would not agree to just cancel the engagement.

A family of cobblers got together and finally came up with a "good idea" to let the second son of the man's family serve in the military instead of his brother.

But the problem is that the second son of the restaurant owner was only 12 years old at the time.

His eldest brother is five years older than him, and between them there is his eldest sister who is three years older than him and is about to get married.

Given the age difference, the restaurant owner's second son couldn't replace his brother even if he wanted to, not to mention that his brother was reluctant to let his underage brother serve in the military.

The restaurant owner rejected the proposal from his in-laws without even thinking about it. Even because the other party was interested in his younger son who was not yet an adult, the restaurant owner became more and more determined to break off the engagement with the family.

Now it's not that his son doesn't want to harm the other girl, it's that he doesn't want to get involved with this evil-minded family anymore.

One of the two families was determined to break off the engagement, and the other was determined not to agree. After the proposal to exchange candidates for military service was rejected, the woman's parents proposed that the second son of the restaurant owner marry their daughter instead of his brother.

The restaurant owner naturally disagreed, and the two families ended up in a stalemate.

The girl's parents knew that there was no hope of getting married, but they were unwilling to let the restaurant owner and his family go in vain. They secretly asked someone to find a better in-law for their daughter, and at the same time, they went to this house every day as if they were checking in at work. Restaurant entanglement.

Those who are open for business naturally cannot allow others to cause trouble in their shops every day. Restaurant owners have no choice but to do as they wish and use the vegetables, meat, and food in the store to calm troubles.

Fortunately, that family was also afraid of offending the restaurant owner and his family, who would completely break up with them when angry, so they didn't dare to go too far and just shamelessly used this place as a free food source every day.

Of course the restaurant owner's family was unhappy. They were not sheep in the woman's family's pen. Why did the other party keep catching their family shedding wool?

There was resentment in their hearts, and they naturally didn't look good when facing the woman's family who came on time every day to "get" the ingredients.

Then, they were resented by each other because of their "disdain for others".

In the plot of the original book, the woman's family, who was digging holes and trying their best to build relationships, wanted to marry off their daughter. When the restaurant owner's eldest son left the capital for about a year, they finally succeeded in hooking up with a city man in Jingzhao Mansion. Lieutenant's cousin.

This man with official relatives was the only "high-ranking" man in the matchmaker's hands who was willing to marry at a low price. Because he had a good family background and a strong family background, the woman's family didn't even inquire about his family situation, the cause of his wife's death, how much betrothal gift he gave, etc. , and immediately agreed to the marriage.

After that, the girl got married and was treated harshly by her mother-in-law and shunned by her stepson every day. Her mother-in-law's family was also quickly rejected by her mother-in-law's family because of what her mother-in-law called "short-sighted and unable to get on the stage." Relatives who are visiting.
