Chapter 318
When the soldiers who had to drive around turned to the most lively West Market, it was not yet noon, and it was the time when restaurants and restaurants were bustling. Almost every house was full of guests, and occasionally small restaurants on the street also sat Many drinkers drink a bowl of corn wine with a stack of peanuts or broad beans.

Maybe there is no summer exposure, and the freshness of autumn makes men, women and children willing to come out for a walk. There are many people on the street, and there are vendors politely selling trinkets or needles and threads. The voice of shouting is long, like a folk song. As tactful.Occasionally, the nobleman in the car would hear it interestingly, even if he didn't like the needles and threads in the peddler's hands, he would throw a few copper coins or a silver bean, which made the peddler smile, and his voice naturally rose by three points.

Ding Wei picked up the curtain in the carriage and looked out. Feeling bored, she asked the coachman to find a corner to stop the carriage, and then walked slowly with Angelica and Tangerine.

She was only pretty in appearance, nothing eye-catching, because she only wore a green silk shirt with an ivory muslin skirt when she went out, only a begonia hairpin on her hair, and a pair of The twisted silk silver bracelet looks like a woman from a wealthy and small family.

Danggui and Jugeng behind are both from dark guards, and they understand the usefulness of keeping a low profile. Both of them have cautious faces, and they are attentive to the left and right. Anyone who sees them will say that they are two good girls.

The three masters and servants heard shouting, bargaining, guys greeting guests, and even quarreling. Seeing the bustling market and tourists, they couldn't help smiling.This is what the world should look like, messy and vibrant.

Ding Wei walked around with great interest, and occasionally bought something small if she saw her fancy. Angelica paid for it, and orange stems helped to carry it. When she got to the door of Dingguo Hot Pot Restaurant, she had saved a lot.

Ding Wei stood outside the door and looked around, and saw that most of the diners were seated inside, all of them were sweating profusely from eating, and some even took off their outer shirts, but all of them were smiling, obviously eating well satisfy.

In the corner of the lobby, there are two young men who are taking a hammer to chip away a large block of ice, and finally divide it into basins and place them in the four corners of the room.Huge palm-leaf fans were hung in the corners of the room, and those who had no work took them to fan the air-conditioning on the ice into the room.

Perhaps the two peddlers were a little hot from walking, so they sat by the gate to steal some heat, and couldn't help talking in a low voice.

"Brother, this hot pot shop is really generous, where did you find so many ice cubes?"

Another peddler knew very well that he was living nearby, so he proudly explained to his companion, "It's only a few pieces of ice, so you think it's a novelty. It was so hot that you almost sweated when you moved. The shopkeeper of this shop insisted on erecting a piece of ice cube the size of a table in the middle of the lobby, whoever walks through the door should give a thumbs up!"

"It's too troublesome to take out such a big ice cube from the river in winter and store it in the ice cellar, and then lift it out again!"

"You don't know this. This hot pot restaurant is decorated with the word Ding's in front of it. The restaurant, barbecue shop, dim sum shop, and ice shop are all owned by the same family. You said that the ice shop sells food every day. How much ice is used, this hot pot restaurant is just a drop in the bucket..."

The two talked lively, and Ding Wei's master and servant also listened with great interest.At this time, the little guy in the shop also looked over, and trotted over to say hello, "Madam, would you like to come in and try our Ding's old soup hot pot? The ingredients are fresh and the taste is authentic, you will be satisfied!"

Ding Wei smiled and waved her hands. The boy was not disappointed. He saluted and exchanged greetings with the two peddlers. Perhaps he knew one of them. After a few words of greeting, he ran to the house and brought out a bowl of ice cubes. .After the two peddlers thanked each other, they squeezed a piece and put it in their mouths. An old man and a young girl who were at the stall nearby also came over and shared a piece.

When the ice cubes in the bowl were exhausted, everyone laughed and dispersed.

Satisfied, Ding Wei turned around and walked to the barbecue shop not far away. Danggui was steady, even if she was puzzled, she never opened her mouth, but Jugeng walked up to the master and whispered, "Master, why don't you go in and have a look?"

Ding Wei shook her head and replied with a smile, "Since the young man can entertain these 'neighbors' carefully, it is obvious that the shopkeeper must be generous and comfortable on weekdays. The previous accounts are fine, so there is nothing to worry about."

"So that's the case!" Jugeng begged with a smile, "Master, nothing else, you must go in and have a look at the ice cream shop, okay?"

Ding Wei didn't wait to speak, but Dang Gui smiled and exposed her small thoughts, "If you want to eat ice cream, you can just talk to the master directly, and you actually beat around the bush?"

Jugen pouted, and retorted, "I'm also afraid that the master will go too hot!"

Ding Wei stopped the two girls from bickering, and said directly, "Go to our restaurant for dinner first, then go to the ice shop to have a bowl of ice cream, and finally go to see the second uncle's wood shop before going back to the palace."

"Okay, thank you master." Jugeng responded happily, and finally made a face at Danggui, which made her roll her eyes.

Ding's restaurant has a small facade. When looking for a place, Ding Wei ordered that her and Gong Zhiming's names not be called, and those big shops usually compete fiercely when they come out, and in the end they can only be aggrieved. In a small, remote building.Fortunately, the renovation of the small building is very delicate, and a few vines even climbed outside the pavement, adding another three points of wildness.

At this time, people were buzzing upstairs and downstairs, and three or five young men were wearing blue clothes, with white cloth scarves on their shoulders, and they were so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground.

Ding Wei walked directly through the lobby with Danggui and Jugen, opened the wooden door in the backyard and walked in. Only then did a young man find out and hurried to stop him. Jugen was two steps behind and said a few words to him.

The little guy didn't seem to believe it, but he followed to the back. Seeing the shopkeeper's lady approaching him in surprise, he was relieved, and when he looked carefully at the owner who finally showed his "true face of Lushan Mountain", he was rudely pushed away by Jugen gone.

Now the lady in charge of the restaurant is a sister-in-law of the Skylark Squad, surnamed Qu, who was originally on duty in Qianzhou.

Although Ding Wei's whereabouts were unknown, there has been no clarification, but because Ding Wei brought out the direct line, almost everyone in the Detachment of Women can guess.At this moment, seeing the master smilingly holding his hand and talking, Mrs. Qu was trembling with excitement.

Ding Wei couldn't explain what happened earlier, so she could only pat her on the shoulder and comfort her, "Don't worry, I'm fine. You have worked hard to earn gold and silver for me, and I haven't used up all the money. Are you willing to make trouble? Why don’t you hurry up and find some dishes for me, so that I can continue shopping after I’m full, it’s rare to come out once!”

"well!"

Mrs. Qu agreed and was about to go to the back kitchen, but she turned back in two steps, knelt down, hugged Ding Wei's thigh and began to cry.

"Girl, you are our backbone. Without you, we would not have a good life today. You must be safe and sound, and don't have any accidents!"

Ding Wei quickly helped her up, endured the soreness in her heart, and persuaded, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about it. Even if something happened to me, Brother An is now the prince, no one dares to bully you, don't worry Be bold and live well! Whenever there is a suitable good man, you can marry as you should, and I will give you the dowry money. No matter how hard you have suffered before, you will have to live so many good days to make up for it!"

"Girl, woo woo..."

Mrs. Qu cried even harder. The Detachment of Women's Army kept communicating in private, and it had been a long time since they had seen Ding Wei, all because she was worried about being abandoned by her master.In the midst of all kinds of hard work and embarrassment back then, they were fortunate to be rescued by their master, who protected their safety and painstakingly arranged their retreat.Everyone treats them as masters and reborn parents. They are not afraid of being busy and tired, but they are afraid of having no one to guide and rely on.

"Don't cry, it's all the shopkeeper. It's embarrassing to let the staff see it."

Ding Wei was funny, and Mrs. Qu also cried out the panic in her heart. She wiped her tears indiscriminately, turned her head and gave the two boys standing under the eaves a hard look, and then shouted, "Come here and kowtow, wait I invite you, master!"

The two boys were about thirteen or fourteen years old, and they were very smart. When Ma Liu came to him, he knelt down and kowtowed.

Ding Wei looked puzzled, but fortunately Mrs. Qu quickly explained, "These two boys also followed us to the manor. Later, we followed the girl into the barracks, and they have been raised in the manor. They learned a few words, but also It’s not material for studying. It just so happens that people are needed to open shops everywhere, so Sister-in-law Wang decided to bring out the older ones to help.”

Ding Wei nodded, she forgot to arrange the way out for those children, it is very good that Mrs. Wang is doing this now.

"If there are any of these children who are talented in reading, they must support them for a few more years, and the money will come from the shop. If there are those who want to learn crafts, they will also help find ways. After all, being a boy is not a long-term solution. We must provide for them. Plan more in the future."

Hearing this, before Mrs. Qu could say anything, the two boys kowtowed again in gratitude.One of them even plucked up the courage to say that he wanted to learn carpentry, because his father was a carpenter, but unfortunately he died during the drought.

Ding Lao Er's woodware shop has just opened, but there is a shortage of manpower, so Ding Wei agreed and asked him to go with him in a while.

The boy was so happy that he kowtowed to Mrs. Qu again, and then retreated.

Sister-in-law Qu was also happy for this kid, and she cooked a few dishes and brought them up. After Ding Wei's three masters and servants were full, she also came over with the boy who brought the package.

The boy had obviously cried, his eyes were a little red, but he was led out of the door by Mrs. Qu.Ding Wei waved her hand to signal Sister-in-law Qu not to show off, and finally went to the ice cream shop.

Even though it is autumn now, with the help of Qiuhu, the business of the shop is still booming.

The person who took care of the shop was a young girl. Ding Wei looked familiar, but she couldn't name her.In the end, the girl was straightforward and kind, invited Ding Wei to go to the back, knelt down on the ground before she sat down, and started chatting.
