Madam, go home and farm

Chapter 98

The two walked two streets, decided to eat a bowl of wontons at a roadside stall, and asked the boss along the way, where there is a shop for rent, and who is more reliable to find.

Ordered two bowls of wontons, and before they started eating, they heard familiar chatter and laughter. The two couldn't help but glanced at each other, and looked sideways. It was Xiaomei Hong and two girls they didn't know, followed by several At first glance, he looks like a son from a wealthy family.

Although the atmosphere here is open, there are only a few days when men and women are allowed to go shopping together. Now it's not the Lantern Festival or something. They all dare to walk on the street blatantly, and they are not afraid of being gossiped.

The two of Puhuang were sitting in the corner, and there were other tables sitting outside, so the chance of being seen was relatively small.Taking the spoon and handing it to Hong Hao'an, Pu Huang said in a low voice, "Little sister, why is she in the county?" I remember that Mrs. Wu took her back to her natal home.

"It's probably at the second aunt's house, and you forgot, the third brother and the third younger sibling are also in the county." Hong Hao'an felt that it was natural for Hong Xiaomei to appear, but he didn't expect her to be so courageous, following the young son travel.

"Forget it, it's none of our business." Anyway, it wasn't me who wiped Hong Xiaomei's butt, so I was worried about what to do.

After eating the wontons and paying the money, Puhuang casually asked the boss about the Yaman who was more trustworthy, and the boss was enthusiastic, "You asked the right person, almost every Yaman in this city comes here. I have eaten at a stall, and the most trustworthy one is Mrs. Liu from the west of the city. You can say whatever you want, and the price is the most affordable."

"Then thank you boss, your wontons are delicious, I will come again next time." Pu Huang said with a smile.

"Hahaha, yes, yes!" The boss was very happy, obviously, he was more happy to praise his wonton than the people who praised him.

At this moment, Xiaomei Hong's group had disappeared. Puhuang and Hong Hao'an were staying in the east of the city, and there was still a long way to the west of the city. When they arrived, they asked a few people before they found Mrs. Liu's house. It's in an alley.

"Do you want to rent a shop?" Mrs. Liu lowered her head and pondered, "I can tell you how big and where you want it."

"We rent a shop to sell food. It doesn't need to be too big. It's better to have two rooms in front and back. There's no special requirement for a location. It's not too far away." Pu Huang thought for a while and said, anyway, a few streets away Walking around is the same, as long as it is not too remote.

"I have two or three rooms to rent. If you are free, you can go and have a look." Mrs. Liu said, and went into the house and took out a bunch of keys, which jingled as they walked.

Mrs. Liu took the two of them to a street next to the wonton stall, but it was broad daylight, and there seemed to be not many people. There were more shops open on the street, and most of them were rouge, gouache, ready-made clothing and jewelry. The shop doors were all closed, but Pu Huang couldn't help but look at the big signboards not far away.

It turned out that she came to Huajie, there were brothels on both sides, and she didn't sell snacks, so she shook her head at Mrs. Liu, indicating that she was not satisfied with this place.

Mrs. Liu also seemed to think it was normal. After taking Puhuang and the others around the alley, they arrived at another street, where the two main restaurants in the county were.

"Whether it's day or night, it's very lively here, but correspondingly, the rental price of the shop is also high. I'll take you to have a look first." After speaking, Mrs. Liu took people to the end of the street, and the other The one that mainly sells daily necessities is different. The one here looks more upscale, and pawn shops, gold and silver shops are also here.

There are quite a few taverns at the end of the street, with people sitting in twos and threes, and the waiter's yelling keeps coming and going, and it seems that the business is doing well.

Mrs. Liu stopped next to a small tavern, took out the key and opened the door, and then removed a few door panels, everything in the house was clear at a glance.

This one was originally a tavern, and the shop is only smaller than the ones next to it, but it is really not cost-effective to use it as a lo-mei shop, and the space cannot be used well.

"That won't work, the shop is too big. Although we sell food, the customers take it away. Look, is there anything else?" Pu Huang shook his head, thinking that the shop is too big.

"The ones I want to rent are almost all this big. There are two small ones, but they are all for sale." Mrs. Liu didn't say much, if the young couple in front of them wanted to buy, they would mention it themselves.

"Then let's think about it. It's hard work for you. I'm sorry to let you have a cup of tea on this trip with us." Said, Hong Haoan handed over a dozen copper coins.

Mrs. Liu also readily followed up, "Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you too. If you know my home, you can look for me there."

"Thank you very much."

After bidding farewell to Mrs. Liu, Hong Haoan and Puhuang walked back and found that it was not as easy as they imagined to start a business. The two of them didn't feel discouraged, but felt that they were so far away and running around was tiring.

"Brother, sister-in-law, why are you here?"

The two looked back, only to see a person coming out from the opposite side of the shop they were looking at just now. It was Hong Haocheng. He was wearing an apron around his waist and a towel on his shoulders. He was sweating profusely in this cold weather. of.

"Third brother, why are you here? Didn't you do well in the restaurant?" Hong Hao'an felt strange. Although Hong Haocheng made a fuss about the separation at that time because he wanted to buy a shop, it was not so fast.

"Brother and sister-in-law, this is my shop, why don't you come in and have a seat." Hong Haocheng's smile was a little bright, and nothing could be seen on the surface, but for some reason, Pu Huang felt a little superior inside.

They didn't have much contact with the third and third couple, why did they suddenly become enthusiastic after the separation, and there was a problem, "No need, third brother, there are guests, you go and do your work, your elder brother and I should go back too."

"That's okay. Brother and sister-in-law can come to me if they have any difficulties. Although I don't have much ability, I still have a couple of meals." This is a bit exaggerated.

Hong Haoan's expression was a little stiff, he nodded and left without saying anything.

On the way back, Hong Haoan was still sleepy, and Puhuang was a little speechless, "Why, after being hit by your third brother?"

"No, I was thinking, the third brother really bought that shop? It would cost a lot of money."

"What do you want to do so much? Maybe his father-in-law will help. Anyway, we don't rely on him. We must stay away from him when we choose a shop in the future." Pu Huang said angrily.

"Miss, are you angry?" Hong Hao'an felt uneasy, he was afraid that Pu Huang would get angry recently, and he was a little worried about gains and losses.

"Have you been out of your mind recently, and you keep asking me if I'm angry?" Pu Huang gave Hong Hao'an a supercilious look, "I just see that the third brother is upset, and what he said, it seems like we have nothing to eat of."

Hong Hao'an was a little confused, he didn't know how to answer, who told his family members to be so superb.

"It's because I thought too much, lady, I won't do it again in the future." Hong Hao said innocently.

Puhuang gave him a supercilious look, and didn't want to say more about this matter, "By the way, you have made a lot of seasoning powder recently, you made some sauce, like stewed duck, the taste is good, but always It’s dry, you adjust the sauce, mix it, and it tastes better.”

"Hey, why didn't I think of it? No wonder I always feel that the stewed rabbit meat is a little dry. It turns out that's the case. I'll fiddle with it when I get back." Hong Haoan's eyes lit up, why didn't he think of this.

"The dried fish this time was very successful. I guess I should start making large batches. You should also get the ratio right as soon as possible. Make more fish. If you buy more fish, you will get a discount." Pu Huang thought of the autumn harvest, I have to prepare money to buy rice. New rice is always delicious. Generally, old rice is sold in shops, and the taste is sometimes not so right.

"Don't worry, lady, I bought a lot of raw materials this time." Hong Haoan assured.

After returning home, not long after the meal, Uncle Hong came to the door, along with Liu Orion, which surprised Pu Huang, but after hearing their intentions, she also understood that the reason was that wild boars also Down the mountain, a lot of fields were ruined. In the past, Liu Orion led people to drive them away. This year, Puhuang is also famous for his strength. In addition, the wild boar she carried back before was also included in the list.

"It's okay to let me go, but if I catch a wild boar, who will it be?" Pu Huang curled her lips. Of course, it is easy for her to let her catch a wild boar now, but such a thing that benefits one person is always It will make people jealous, it is best to set the rules first.

Uncle Hong also thought about it. If only one head of Puhuang is hit, it is easy to handle. If there are several, I am afraid that someone will gossip. There will always be such people who don’t like others. Keep, if there is more than one, the first one will be killed and distributed to the whole village.”

Pu Huang looked at Liu Orion, wanting to see what he had to say.

Liu Orion used to catch wild boars by digging traps and so on, and the distribution was almost according to what the Hong family said. He nodded at Puhuang, "I will count wild boars separately from Hao'an's wife. Hand over."

Puhuang doesn't know how rampant these wild boars are, but they need to organize people to expel them, there should be a lot, maybe it's a herd of wild boars, it seems that they need to plan well.

In the afternoon, Hong Haoan stayed at home to make the recipe for dried fish, while Puhuang followed Liu Orion and other young and strong boys to scout the fields first.Unlike others, Puhuang is not familiar with the distribution of these fields at all, so she needs to spend more time.

When Liu Orion set up traps, he would also tell Puhuang some things, such as where the wild boars most often come from, how they escape from people's pursuit, and how to protect themselves from being hurt by wild boars, etc., just like It's like a master teaching an apprentice.

Puhuang didn't quite understand Liu Orion's intentions, this was his experience of eating, why did he tell himself?
