Chapter 164

Ding Wei's eyes changed, and finally sighed softly, raised her hand and drank the tea in one gulp, and finally responded to her second brother with a smile, "It's also my luck, I catch up with such an opportunity, when my second brother comes to buy a shop, maybe the price will be lower at that time." It just went up a few times."

Ding Lao Er didn't notice the strangeness of the girl, so he smiled and said, "That's the reason, you girl, among other things, have been lucky since you were a child. I remember once you made trouble with my mother to make you a new coat, mother If you don’t agree, you won’t be able to climb up the tree, and then your legs will go numb and you’ll fall down. You’re fine, but you hit me so badly that I almost vomited blood.”

Speaking of the embarrassing things about the girl when she was a child, Ding Lao Er laughed heartily, which made An Geer, who was sitting in his arms, wonder if he understood, and also giggled happily with his uncle...

Not to mention that the convoy left the city gate and drifted away, but that the grim-faced owner of the dental shop wanted to hit the wall. He originally thought that when the price of the shop fell to the lowest, he went bankrupt and bought a few shops.

Unexpectedly, due to bad luck, a nobleman fell out of thin air, and he bought all his shops at a low price.Even if he lost a large sum of money, he didn't even dare to say a word.This is really dumb eating Coptis chinensis, I can't tell the pain.

But what he didn't expect was that just after returning to the backyard, before he had a sip of tea, a middle-aged man with a very ordinary appearance came looking for him. He raised his hand with a bag of silver, "This is to make up for your loss just now, remember?" Keep your mouth shut!"

The owner of the dental shop was so frightened that he almost couldn't hold the silver bag, so he quickly responded in a daze, "Ah, yes, yes..."

The man didn't say much, turned around and went out over the wall.The sudden coming and going was like a cold winter wind, and the owner of the tooth shop was finally relieved. He shook the silver bag in his hand vigorously, and jumped three feet high with joy!

"Ah, I made it, I really made it!"

There are six 50 taels of silver ladles in this silver bag, 300 taels!It is enough to compensate for all his losses today, and there is even a surplus.The ecstasy of finding it again made him want to scream, but instead he covered his mouth.

No matter how stupid he is, he can still guess that there is something wrong with today's transaction.But no matter what's wrong with it, it's none of his business.Why not take advantage of the good weather and quickly find a good shop to order two good dishes, drink a pot of good wine, and take away to celebrate...

Besides, in the camp of the Rebel Army, dinner time is always the busiest.Today, because her second brother came here, Ding Wei didn't care about hurting her leg, and cooked a total of ten dishes by herself.Not to mention her signature braised pork stewed in a large casserole, sweet and sour pork ribs, boiled fish, and even dishes that require a lot of effort such as roast beef with potatoes are not missing.

After waiting for the fragrance to float out of the tent, not long after, the two old enemies, Mr. Wei and Uncle Yun, walked in together. I don't know whether it was a coincidence or a special appointment. Fang Xin and Chu Qixi also arrived, and Gong Zhiming brought Yuchi regretted that he was the last to sit down.

The largest round table was soon filled with crowds.Ding Lao Er saw with his own eyes the two old men rushing to coax his nephew, and saw the girl talking to everyone with a smile, no matter how old or young she was getting close to her, he was finally completely relieved.

The meal was extremely lively, Ding Laoer drank half a jar of spirits, and finally was helped by the eldest child to go back to sleep.

Waking up early the next morning, Ding Wei specially made millet porridge, thinking of warming up the spleen and stomach of her drunk second brother.In the end, when Yun Ying, who was going to invite someone, came back, he looked a little hesitant, "Miss, the second master left before dawn. He left a message for the eldest son, asking you not to worry about your family, just take care of Brother An... "

"What! Second brother..." Ding Wei's eyes turned red in an instant, and she was about to run out of the tent when she raised her leg, but her injured leg was too much of a burden, so she raised her hand and wanted to beat her, just when Gong Zhiming opened the curtain and came in. He hugged her and said distressedly, "What is this for?"

"Second brother is gone, my second brother is gone, and I didn't even say a few words!" Ding Wei lay in his arms, clutching the shirt on his chest, tears streaming down his face.Even though her elder brother had some ties to the family because of his sister-in-law, she was once annoyed, but he was still her relative.He ran thousands of miles just to see if she was okay.Do everything, just for her not to be despised by outsiders...

"Hey, I can't bear it, I haven't brought anything for my parents, I haven't..."

Gong Zhiming raised his arms and hugged her to sit on the chair, gently wiped her tears, and persuaded in a low voice, "When I get to the capital and settle down, I will bring the whole family to accompany you."

Ding Wei choked with sobs and shook her head, "No, I'll talk about this after I think about it."

"Okay, as you like."

Gong Zhiming turned his head and gave Yunying a wink, and Yunying quickly turned around and left.

Soon, Mrs. Cheng wrapped it in a thin quilt and An Geer sent it over.The fat boy had just woken up and changed places before he could wash up. Now that his parents were there, he was very happy. He stretched out his hand to circle his father's neck and smeared his face with saliva.

Ding Wei didn't want to shed tears in front of her son, so she asked Angelica to ask for a wet cloth, wiped her hands and face, and found that Gong Zhiming's chest was wet from her crying. , she hurriedly opened the box to find the sapphire blue robe she had made a few days ago and put it on for him.

After this busy work, it also dilutes the sadness of parting relatives.After the meal, Gong Zhiming went to the big tent to get busy, leaving Ding Wei to recruit a few sister-in-laws from the Detachment of Women to start discussing how to tidy up the three shops and what items they needed to buy.

After the discussion was settled, the Women's Army brought money and kitchen utensils, and ten remnant soldiers who voluntarily stayed in the shop to work, led by Yunying and rushed into the city together.

Although Ding Wei wanted to go with her very much, speaking of it, this was her first real estate. After all, the pasta shop and woodware shop in the previous family belonged to her two elder brothers.

But even if she didn't marry into Gongzhi's family and no one stopped her from showing her face, she still had to be a little self-conscious.What's more, I had already seen it in person yesterday, so it would be good if I knew it well.

People in Qiongzhou City, these two days have added a new topic after dinner.The street corner restaurant and the two small shops opposite were just bought by an unknown nobleman the day before yesterday. Today, many women flocked in, more than 100 of them, and they wiped the three shops shiny inside and out almost in the blink of an eye.A few strong men who were missing arms or legs also went in and out, moving things, chopping materials and carrying water, and they were very busy.

Before noon, green smoke rose from the chimneys of the three shops.In the evening, one of the small shops unexpectedly wafted a sweet smell, causing some naughty boys to go to the door of the backyard to have a look. dessert.

Then, without waiting for everyone to figure out why this snack is so sweet.Another small shop put a small wooden barrel in front of the door, filled with some milk-white food, whenever a child or passer-by passed by, they would pick a piece with a wooden spoon and put it in a small bowl for people to taste.Although those who tasted it almost trembled from the cold, they still couldn't help asking, "What is this, it melts in the mouth, sweeter than honey?"

After those naughty boys ate it once, they even huddled around in front of other people's shops and refused to leave.

Immediately, the dim sum shop also set up a small table in front of the door as if they were joining in the fun, and a man with a broken arm hawked loudly, "Cakes worth ten cents apiece are free today. I just tasted them for nothing. Pass by." , don't miss it!"

The passers-by who had just eaten the sorbet heard the words, rushed over again, and quickly divided up all the snacks in the small square plate.In the end, everyone bit their snacks and couldn't move anymore.

"Where did this skill come from? It's really delicious."

"Yes, this white cheese is probably my son's favorite. This cake is also soft. My mother's teeth are about to fall out, and she frowns when she eats. This dessert will definitely please her old man."

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and it was heard that the wealthy people in the roadside teahouses were full of regrets, and finally ordered the servants or long-term attendants to squat in front of the two shops, and be sure to grab a portion and come back to taste it.

As a result, the shopkeepers in those two shops were like roundworms in everyone's belly. After a while, someone brought dim sum and ice cream to the teahouse.

Dim sum was also sold in the teahouse, but it was very annoyed to see people come to grab business.

However, the female shopkeeper who made people feel straightforward at the first sight asked him to say a few words in a secluded place, and gave him [-]% of the moistening hands, and everyone was happy.

After all, you don't need your own capital and manpower, and you can earn money if you help sell it, and you don't need to sell it yourself. This is a good deal.

As a result, the guests at almost every table ate the delicacies that tempted them for a whole day.

In the end, needless to say, everyone clamored to ask when it would open.The female shopkeeper smiled and said, "It will open tomorrow, and all snacks and ice products will be discounted by [-]%. Of course, the manpower is limited, and the products are naturally limited. Those who want to try something new, please come as soon as possible."

After all, she just bowed and left, which caused a lot of discussion among the people.Some praised the delicious dim sum and ice products, some were curious about why a woman was the shopkeeper, and some made sarcastic remarks, in short, there were all kinds of things.But without exception, those who have no shortage of money at home, or those who pretend to be parents and children in their hearts, want to buy some to go home tomorrow...

When Ding Wei heard the news of the opening of the dim sum and ice cream shop, it was already the evening of the opening day, and sister-in-law Liu, the shopkeeper of the dim sum shop, almost trotted all the way back to deliver the account books, with a smile on her face.

"Boss, the business of the shop is really good. We are so busy today that all the pastries we baked are sold out!"

Ding Wei wanted to say that it was a bit too hasty to open the business, but she had already left everything to them before, and it would be unkind to pick faults at this time, so she swallowed her words back, and looked through the account books with a smile. , startled her too.

"There are so many? If it is like this every day, you will really get rich in the future!"

Not counting the income of the ice shop, the dim sum shop sold more than 100 taels, and after deducting the cost, there was still a profit of 80 taels.

Sister-in-law Liu squinted her eyes in joy, and said happily, "Everyone is not going to sleep tonight, bake more cakes, and we can sell more cakes tomorrow than today."

Ding Wei shook her head, motioned her to sit down and have a cup of tea, and then said, "Tomorrow not only can't sell more, but even sell [-]% less."
