hairpin family

Chapter 14
Qin Zhao lives a very regular life. He practices calligraphy with Yunrui at night, and learns marksmanship and swordsmanship with Yunrui in the morning.After breakfast, Yun Rui went out to practice spear and sword.Then until before lunch, the whole time is used to practice and learn to write.

After lunch and taking a nap for half an hour, Ah Tie and the others would come to pick her up and go out to play. They said it was for playing, but in fact they went to the back mountain to teach Ah Tie and Zhu Balang what she had learned recently.

Occasionally, I would go up the mountain and follow them to pick some wild fruits and vegetables. When I was lucky, I could pick up some wild eggs, or catch some fish and shrimp in the river. How happy my life was.

However, the weather in early spring is still cold, so it is impossible to go fishing in the river. After practicing the sword and teaching a few children how to read, the rest of the time can only be run up the mountain.Qin Zhao really wanted to take a look into the deep mountains, but Ah Tie was an opinionated person. The children were all young. Qin Zhao mentioned it a few times, but he refused to take them into the mountains anyway, and he just turned around halfway down the mountain. Just turn.

Qin Zhao made dumplings for Zhu Balang to take back, but I don’t know if Zhu Balang’s father would like them. Anyway, she is here, and she has never seen such food. Even if David has these, she uses them The oil is deep-fried with wild chives, the tofu has been blanched, and the bitterness of the white cabbage has been removed by her. Because the restaurant shop is in a market town where merchants gather, most of the customers are from the Central Plains. How can you not like the exquisite food here?
Qin Zhao believes that although Bajie looks silly, in fact, this kid is full of ideas, and his father is a shrewd person, so he may not understand this truth and see some business opportunities from it. If Bajie's father is interested If their family's shop in Huangmaji can open a restaurant, she will be able to help Ah Tie and Heizi's family.

In the future, it may be possible to redeem Heizi from the family that sold it, but that may not be the case.

Not necessarily, even if the idea of ​​this restaurant fails, Qin Zhao secretly made up his mind that she must find a way to redeem Heizi back.

In fact, even if she begs Yunrui and A Cai now, she can bring Heizi back home.

However, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.Even if she finds a way to redeem Heizi now, so what?Watch Heizi sell himself again?If the problem of livelihood cannot be solved, everything is in vain.

After several months of getting along, Heizi is such a lovely and loving child. Qin Zhao has never been a nosy person, but she can't do it if she ignores Heizi and Ah Tie.

Because he didn't sleep well at night, Qin Zhao got up early the next day. After washing up, he followed Yun Rui to learn a few moves of swordsmanship, and then showed Yun Rui what he learned before. Cai's breakfast was also prepared, the family had breakfast, Yun Rui went out by himself, Qin Zhao took the wooden sword and went to the courtyard, intending to practice for a while, but Zhu Balang opened the door with a smile on his face. Caimen, entered the courtyard.

"Didn't you say that you are going to town with your father today?" Qin Zhao put away his sword, and asked Zhu Balang to sit on the stone bench, smiling.

Seeing Zhu Balang's beaming eyebrows, she knew that what she said yesterday had something to do with it.

Sure enough, Zhu Balang laughed: "Sister Azhao, it's a good luck for you, my father said that the food you sent yesterday is very good. If you open a restaurant to buy it, the business will definitely be good, but only these two Three things are not enough. Our shop is big, and we can't make much money by selling only these two or three things. So let me ask, can Aunt A Cai still make some delicious food?"

"Of course there is food, but it depends on whether your father wants to open a snack shop or a restaurant. Not only my mother, but I can also come up with good dishes. Let's not talk about these, I just want to Let me ask you, you didn't mention the conditions I mentioned yesterday, and daddy didn't ask why I was so enthusiastic about your shop?"

"My father asked, otherwise, what would I do to find Sister Yunzhao so early in the morning? Because of this, my father didn't even go to the market today, and just waited at home for me to answer back. Ah Cai Aunt, do you really know how to eat other foods, even the dishes in big restaurants?"

"Why did I lie to you? Your family wants to open a restaurant, and I will keep my mother's ability to cook decent dishes, which are no worse than other restaurants."

"Then what kind of conditions does Sister Yunzhao want? My father said that if you want to sell recipes, as long as the price is right, you can do it."

"Look at what you said, Bajie, we are not only friends, but we can barely be regarded as mentors and apprentices. Besides, my family is now in the village, but I have inherited a lot from your family. If I can eat and cook for a few, I will accept your family money? That's what I thought..."

Heizi thought to himself, Sister Azhao, you only have something to say that sounds better than the fairy music that day, have you ever seen anyone suffer from you?Who is it to take advantage of?

It's just that he also murmured a few words in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out of his mouth, otherwise he would definitely have a good meal.

Qin Zhao didn't know that the fat boy was slandering him, and while lowering his voice, he dragged Zhu Balang out of the courtyard: "Let's talk outside, I haven't told my mother about my plan, so that she won't hear the nagging. But Don't worry, as long as I am willing to do things, my mother will definitely not object, even if she is unwilling, she has to listen to me in the end."

Heizi thought to himself, is there anyone in this world who loves children more than Aunt A Cai and Uncle Yun?Even he wished he was the child of Aunt A Cai and Uncle Yun.

"My conditions are also very simple. If your family opens a restaurant, you have to hire Hei Ziniang and Ah Tie's mother to help in your restaurant. The wages should not be too low, and you have to give them two days a week. Auntie can go home and take a look at the house. It also saves them from being outside and worrying about the family."

"On this condition?"

"On this condition." Qin Zhao nodded.

Zhu Balang felt that Qin Zhao's condition was not a condition at all, and Auntie Heizi's eighteenth aunt was fine, but Auntie's thirteenth aunt had been in poor health, and she was determined not to be able to go to his restaurant, so he He said bluntly, "What do I want from being a younger sister? On this condition, don't talk about my father, I can accept you first. Come on, I'll go home and tell my father."

After Zhu Balang finished speaking, he raised his legs and was about to run, but was stopped by Qin Zhao: "How many times have I told you, be calm! Be calm! Don't rush away, I haven't finished talking yet."

"Oh, Sister Ah Zhao, you can finish what you have to say at once, so as not to worry me. But if you can answer, I will definitely persuade my father to agree. I still don't understand what you mean? You just want to help Heizi It’s just with Ah Tie’s family. We are originally clansmen in the same village. If we can help, can we not help? If you don’t tell me, our father can ignore it?”

Qin Zhao was amused, the child looked as heartless as himself, but he was also careful.In fact, whether it is the patriarch's family or the sixth house of Zhu's family, Qin Zhao knows all about it, but her principle has always been to say one thing, one thing is one thing, two things are two things, explain clearly and set rules That's good, dear brother, let's settle the accounts clearly, so as to avoid wrangling in the future and making everyone unhappy.

"Your father is very kind, who in our village doesn't know about it?" Qin Zhao smiled, "Actually, what I said below is nothing more than empty talk, but even though I am talking in vain, you have to explain it clearly to your father. Whether your family will open a restaurant or restaurant in the future, the ingredients used, especially mountain products, must be purchased from our Zhujiazhuang first, and the price cannot be lower than the market price."

"Why is it so difficult? In the past, our grocery store often sold things from people in our village."

"It's best like this, but even if it's like this, remember to tell your father what I said."

"Come on, sister Azhao, how can I forget what you told me? I'll go back and talk to my father right now."

When Zhu Balang's chubby figure disappeared at a rare speed of flying, Ah Cai also finished washing his clothes and was about to hang them to hang. Seeing Qin Zhao leaning on the wood gate in a daze, he said, "Ah Zhao, what are you thinking so much?" What about ecstasy? Why don’t you practice swords anymore?”

Qin Zhao was actually worrying about how to explain that he knew how to cook.Although she made preparations in advance, during the past few months, from time to time, she used the child's greed as an excuse to pester A Cai to improve her cooking skills, but you must know that she is only five years old, although she is quite good at talking among children. A little respect, but in front of adults, she is just a little girl of a few years old.Can you fool Zhu Balang, and can you fool Zhu Balang's father?

Others may not know her details, but how could A Cai and Yun Rui not know?How can she tell A Cai and Yun Rui that she cooks food that is completely different from the dishes of this era?
For the dumpling and steamed stuffed bun matter, she can still push it to Li Sanniang in Lijiazhuang. After all, no one will ask for proof of such a trivial matter, but if you want to open a restaurant, you need at least dozens of dishes that you can get away with. What will happen then? explain?
However, what she said was that A Cai knows how to cook. It is impossible for A Cai to cook for the Zhu family. At that time, someone from Zhu Balang's family will come to learn the art, and the shop will not be able to open for a while, so let's find a way slowly .

After Qin Zhao entered the hospital, he reached out to help A Cai dry his clothes, but A Cai pushed him away: "How can I let A Zhao do these tasks? Go and practice your sword."

Seeing Qin Zhao standing still, A Cai asked with a smile, "What's the matter? Is it the Wanwanshun from yesterday and the steamed stuffed buns? Didn't I eat enough? I told Yun Lang in the morning, let's go to the fair in the next few days." Come back with some wheat noodles in the market, and then we’ll do it again.”

Qin Zhao's heart moved, and he pretended to be pitiful: "Mother, we always eat those dishes, so can't we change them?"

"Well," Ah Cai felt a little ashamed, "it's because I'm useless, and it's because I'm not good at cooking that I made Ah Zhao suffer all these punishments. Our family used to have a cook to prepare meals, and I know very little about it. What Ah Zhao wants to eat, just talk about it, if it’s really not possible, I’ll go to the village and ask, is there anyone who is good at cooking, I begged him to learn it slowly, how about making it for Ah Zhao to eat later?”

"No, no, no," Qin Zhao saw that A Cai was sad, and deeply regretted that he had said something wrong. Didn't this hurt A Cai's self-esteem? "Mother, I think cooking is also very interesting. Didn't mother say that even a lady from a family must be proficient in cooking? Although I am still young, I always have to learn when I can. It's not as good as when mother cooks in the future. How about I follow along? Maybe I can come up with a few unique dishes. I’m so smart, I’m sure I’ll be able to learn it soon.”

A Caiding loves to hear Qin Zhao brag, in her heart, Qin Zhao is undoubtedly the best girl in the world.Besides, the ideas that Qin Zhao often came up with in the past few months, I tried to cook according to her method, and the food was indeed much more delicious than before.

Sure enough, when A Cai heard this stinky fart, she agreed very much: "That's natural. Is there any girl who is smarter and more capable than us A Zhao? If A Zhao likes it, just follow me. Small, just look at it, and don’t need to touch it.”

"Thank you, mother. I knew that mother loves me the most. Whatever I like to do, mother will never stop me."

Seeing her happy, Ah Cai was also happy, so she urged her to practice sword and calligraphy by herself.

The diet in the north is mainly pasta, but because Qin Zhao likes rice, Yunrui often brings some rice back from outside, but the north does not produce rice, so this rice is very expensive in the north. Only Qin Zhao can eat some, and not every day.

A Cai dried her clothes, watched Qin Zhao practice sword for a while, and when Qin Zhao had finished practicing sword, took a rest, and went to practice calligraphy again, A Cai went to pound rice.

Qin Zhao just wrote a piece of paper here, and Zhu Balang ran over again.This made A Cai feel strange, looked at Zhu Balang and said with a smile: "Balang, why are you so diligent today?"

"Mother, I'll go out with Brother Balang for a while, and I'll be back in a while." Qin Zhao was afraid that the silly boy would slip up, and when Zhu Balang opened his mouth, Qin Zhao jumped up, covered his mouth, and pushed him out. pull.

"It's getting late, and I have to have lunch later. I'll pound the rice and start cooking. Don't run too far, come back earlier." Seeing the mysterious appearance of the two children, A Cai only thought of them Thinking of some naughty idea again, I just shook my head with a smile and exhorted, and then ignored it.

Qin Zhao pulled Zhu Balang out of the hospital, turned his head and said with a smile, "Mother, I'll be back in a while."

After leaving the hospital and walking for a while, Zhu Balang couldn't help but said: "My father agreed, saying that if Aunt A Cai is really willing to bring out the cooking methods, and the dishes are really good, our family will open a restaurant. There are many merchants at the Yellow Horse Market, and the business of the restaurant is very good. I was just about to ask Aunt Ah Cai, what are you doing with me? My father is still waiting..."

"You idiot, what's the rush? Although my mother can cook, she can't be a cook in your shop, and she might not agree to teach your family. You said that, in case my mother doesn't want to, Wouldn't it be difficult to turn around this matter? Didn't I tell you before, wait for me to convince my mother?"

"Well, since Aunt A Cai can't work as a cook in my shop, and you said that she hasn't agreed to teach my family, then what are you talking about opening a restaurant with me?" Zhu Balang asked anxiously.

"Just say that you are Bajie, if you don't try everything, how do you know if you can succeed? As long as you want to do anything, you have to try hard to be serious. Besides, I am not playing with you and your father. You just trust me, I have a way to get my mother to agree."

"Of course..."

"What's burning, it's still baking, little fat man, don't drag the text, I taught you that bit of ink. It won't work if you use it, I don't have it here! Let me ask you, now that we have realized it, do I have to lie? past you?"
