pastoral wedding

Chapter 161 Business
Su Jin handed the jade plaque engraved with Chu character on it to the shopkeeper of the silk and satin village. The shopkeeper saw that he was from the owner's house, so he naturally entertained him warmly, serving tea and saying good things.Su Jin didn't like to hear these things, not to mention that she was not sent by her second brother-in-law to inspect, and it was useless for the shopkeeper to flatter her. After drinking the tea, she revealed her identity to him.The shopkeeper heard that she was the lady's sister, not only did she not lose her enthusiasm, but she also served her more attentively.This matter is not clear, no matter how powerful the people sent by the boss are, they are nothing more than servants. The girl in front of me is the wife of the boss and the master. Whoever is higher and who is lower is just a quick glance. Out.

Su Jin was too lazy to listen to him, so she directly told what happened to her. The shop was on the same street as the Chu family's silk and satin shop, so the shopkeeper knew about it, so naturally he also knew about the shop. Why was it seized by the government.He volunteered to go to the government again for Su Jin. The Chu family would send a lot of filial money to the government every year. It should be much better than asking Su Jin, a foreigner, and he went immediately. Let Su Jin wait for the news.

After waiting until it was dark, the shopkeeper came back. He was a little embarrassed to see Su Jin, "The county magistrate only said that at least 1000 taels of filial piety should be given. Look at this..."

"It's okay, I'll think about it again." Su Jin didn't force her, she had already tried her best, and she couldn't force him anymore, but it really hurt her heart to let her hand over the 1000 taels willingly.

"Hey, girl, think about it again, and come to me if you have anything to do. Anyway, I always stay here longer than you, and some things are more convenient."

This was the truth, Su Jin felt that the shopkeeper was quite pleasing to the eye, so she asked Liuli to reward him.

After leaving the silk and satin shop of the Chu family, Su Jin was a little worried, "Liuli, what do you think should I do? Why did I just like that shop, and now let me go to other places, and I feel that everything is not as good as this one. Well, alas, if I can’t buy this shop, I won’t stay in Yunsu City, I might as well go to Jianghuai City and Huahang City to have a look.”

Liuli didn't know how to comfort her anymore, she just thought how she didn't realize her girl was so stubborn before, she didn't want to back off at all.

Because she was in a bad mood, Su Jin took Liuli to find the nearest restaurant to eat. This restaurant seemed to be very large, as high as three or four floors, and it was very lively with people coming and going.Su Jin was simply rich and powerful, asked Xiao Er about the specialties here, ordered a table full of dishes, and forced Liuli to sit down at the table to eat together.

Liuli refused at first, but after thinking about it, she agreed. Liuli knew her temper, and if she insisted on holding on to the concept of master and servant, she would definitely be angry.

The two of them were eating happily around a table. Su Jin wanted to drink, but was persuaded by Liuli, "Girl, don't drink, and you can't drink. If you drink a little, you will get drunk. If you insist on drinking, wait a minute." When we go back, let’s buy it and drink it when we return to the inn.”

Su Jin pouted, but in the end she didn't insist anymore, she also understood that going out was no better than being at home, and if something happened to her when she was unconscious, how could Liuli take care of her by herself.

The two were eating, when they suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from downstairs, Su Jin and Liu Li looked at each other, "It's that guy Qi Yao." Su Jin was sitting under the window next to the stairs, although there was a screen to block it. , but you can still see the person coming up from one side of your head. The master and servant waited patiently for a while, and saw that it was indeed Qi Yao, and the two people behind him were the scholar and Hu Er. Qi Yao's clean dark blue brocade robe and clean black cloth boots made his clothes a bit unbearable. It's not that the material was bad, but that there were a few holes in the clothes, and his face was not clean, as if he had wiped his face. ash.

"Xiao Er, hurry up and bring some delicious food and a jug of good wine to Grandpa! Hurry up!"

The owner of such a carefree and obviously displeased voice must be Hu Er. Seeing the two of them sat down at the next table, Liuli wanted to say hello, but Su Jin stopped her and told her not to speak.

At this time, Hu Er lowered his voice and said to Qi Yao: "Master, those masked people are really powerful, and the scholar and I have suffered a dark loss. I still have a tight pain in my chest right now."

Qi Yao nodded, "I also met the same masked people, I'm afraid these people came with bad intentions, you must be careful in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sound from the next door, like someone screaming, the scholar rushed over and took the screen away, only to see Liuli covering her mouth, it seems that the one who screamed was her, and Beside her was sitting the old god Su Jin who was drinking soup calmly.

"Why are you here?" The scholar was surprised.

Su Jin didn't even turn her head, but said in a bad tone, "Why can't we be here? Could it be that your family owns this restaurant? No one else can come?"

The scholar knew that his young master had a special liking for Miss Su San, so he didn't dare to offend her, not to mention that she had a strong mouth. If he turned back and contradicted him, she might be able to speak for herself without the young master standing up for her. I was ashamed to meet people, so I quickly smiled, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I thought someone was deliberately eavesdropping on our conversation."

"It's so funny!" Su Jin put down the white porcelain spoon of Liyu Xilian in her hand, stretched out her tender little hand, picked up a piece of pastry, took a bite, swallowed it slowly, and said, "If you want to talk about big secrets, Just don't come to this kind of place, you dare to say anything without looking at the occasion, you really have no brains, your master has no brains, and you have no brains." She admitted that she deliberately made Liuli make a sound, otherwise if they It would be bad to say something else.

Qi Yao's face was embarrassed, well, he was careless,

"Mr. Qi, you two, if you don't mind, come and sit here." Liu Li smiled and got up to Zhang Luo, but just after she finished speaking, Su Jin slapped the back of her hand, "Am I the master or are you the master?"

Qi Yao and the others had already come to sit down, Xiao Er brought the food they ordered and went on in a hurry. Their restaurant business is good and there is no time to delay.None of the three of them could take a look at Su Jin's stinky face. They had been tired all day, and their stomachs were going to be starved. Now that they saw the sumptuous meal, they couldn't care less about talking, they just buried their heads in eating.

Qi Yao is not in a hurry, although he has not eaten a grain of rice for a day.He reached out and took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus powder cake, broke off a piece, put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and asked Liuli, "Who provoked your girl again?"

Liuli smiled and said: "Our girl took a fancy to a shop and wanted to buy it as a branch of the Ping An Post Office, but the shop was sealed up by the government before, and the local county magistrate asked us to take out the money to buy the shop. There is an extra 1000 taels of filial piety, the girl is reluctant, but she doesn't want to give up the shop, so she is very depressed." As soon as she finished speaking, Su Jin also stuffed a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus flour cake into her mouth, "Eat snacks!"

Qi Yao just looked at Su Jin, but Su Jin didn't look up at him, but just said, "I remember you don't like sweets, if you're hungry, eat first, and talk about anything that can't be done after eating."

This is a word of concern for himself, Qi Yao smiled lightly, his heart was naturally sweet, so he stopped asking, and ate steadily with the scholar and Hu Er, but it was not the same as their rude actions, he ate like a superficial touch , It looks as beautiful as a painting, but it is light but elegant.

Looking at him, Su Jin felt that she was almost a rough person, and Pian Niang asked her to learn to be a lady, which was really depressing.Thinking about it, he took a goose oil roll with pine flesh, took a sip and said: "Look at this restaurant is so big, but the food it cooks is average, not a bit worse than Uncle Mu's food." He took another pine meat roll. The meaty goose oil roll was placed on the plate in front of Qi Yao, "This one is not sweet, but it tastes good, try it."

Qi Yao naturally picked it up and put it in his mouth. The scholar was stunned when he saw it, and desperately recalled when he had eaten food from other people since he was a child. He didn't even move the dim sum, and now he ate the goose oil roll with loose flesh that Miss Su San still brought over so naturally, he was secretly surprised and happy for his young master at the same time.Ever since the Qi family was wiped out, the young master has rarely seen a smile, but after meeting the third girl from the Su family, he not only smiled, but often laughed too. If the master and wife knew about it, they would definitely feel at ease. , In the future, someone will take care of my young master, which is a good thing!I just hope that Miss Su San can treat the young master sincerely, otherwise if the young master is injured, the pain in her heart will definitely be several times more than others.

The scholar finished the meal while thinking about his own thoughts, and there was a lot of snacks left on the table, Su Jin asked Xiao Er to pack them for her to take home for supper.After leaving the door of the restaurant, Qi Yao asked Hu Er to send Su Jin's master and servant back first, while he took the scholar to another direction.On the way, Hu Er was provoked by Su Jin, and he told about the fact that he and the scholar were ambushed and injured, and apologized to Liuli, saying that he was afraid that he would stay here for a few days to recuperate, and that his injury was better. Those furry fists and kicks were seriously injured.

Naturally, Liuli would not be in a hurry with him for the past few days, but told him to heal his injuries as soon as possible.Here Su Jin remembered one thing she had been talking about while eating, that is, she wanted to open a restaurant in Yunsu City again.Su Ji's food is not much worse than the restaurant here in Yunsu City, and when she went out, she asked Xiao Er that people in Yunsu City are very particular about food, no matter the size of the store, as long as the food is delicious, there will be Quite a few people cheered, just like the Yueming Pavilion I went to today. I heard that the wine is very good, and they are all brewed by themselves. You can’t drink it anywhere else. Therefore, many people also come here to eat for this wine. Although the food here is average.

My own restaurant is still very distinctive. Needless to say, the food is good. There are pots in winter, barbecue in summer, desserts, fruit wine and scented tea. There may not be no competition in Yunsu City in the south. force.

Seeing Su Jin's devotion, Hu Er wanted to ask aloud, Liuli quickly stopped him, and shook his head silently at him.My daughter usually acts like this because she is thinking about business matters, and she must not be disturbed by others.She has always admired her girl, who can come up with such a business idea by using her brain, which is no worse than a man.

Su Jin didn't sleep much at night, she was planning how Suji should be opened in Yunsu City, Jianghuai City, and Huahang City. If the business is really good, any of these three places will be better than Suzaku. The city plus Qingshi Town earned even more money.

She naturally didn't get up early the next morning, and she didn't know Liu Li got up.She slept until almost noon before waking up, yawned and sat up, seeing that Liuli was not there, she was not in a hurry, got up and dressed herself, then opened the door and asked Xiao Er to bring warm water for washing her face.She didn't come back until she finished tidying up Liuli. Seeing that she was already sitting there eating, she hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, "Liuli should be damned, she didn't wash up in time, please punish her."

Su Jin didn't personally help her up as usual, but said indifferently: "Let's talk about what you are doing?" Although she is a kind and generous master, she can't see the maid who is like a sister by her side every day Kneeling down to herself is usually not a big deal and she doesn't bother to take care of it, but if they don't even know their identities and do something out of the norm, she is not easy to talk about.

Liuli knew that she was angry, so she kowtowed again in a hurry, "Er brother Hu next door came to me just now, saying that he had invited a doctor to look at the scholar's wound, and he wanted to go out with Mr. Qi, please let me take care of one or two, I will look at the girl I didn't wake up, so I passed by first."

Su Jin nodded, still ate calmly, took a few more mouthfuls and put down the chopsticks, before saying: "You did nothing wrong, you should help Mr. Qi and the others, but shouldn't you first recognize your own job? No matter what, you are my servant girl. Even if you have business to do when you go out, shouldn’t you tell me? Don’t say you are my servant girl, even if we are sisters, if we go out together, should you also tell me when you go out? Say it? Do you know that I almost thought that something happened to you just now, but fortunately Xiaoer came to deliver warm water and said that he saw you in the next room." He helped Liu Li up, "Qi It's not that you don't know the situation of Young Master and the others, before those masked people figure out your true identity, you should not appear with Young Master Qi and them outside again."

The girl didn't make things difficult on purpose, she was sincerely doing it for her own good.Liuli bit her lower lip and kowtowed to Su Jin before standing up, "Miss Xie, Liuli remembers."

"Okay, why don't you cry if it's not early in the morning? Hurry up and eat, it's getting late, after dinner, you can accompany me to the Chu family's silk and satin shop." Su Jin smiled and patted the A chair for Liuli to sit down and eat.

The master and the servant rushed out after dinner. In Su Jin's own words, it is really late now, and the sun is almost rising above the head.They walked in a hurry, but they were called back by Hu Er before they left the inn.As soon as he returned to the room, Qi Yao came in, and stuffed the piece of paper he was holding into Su Jin's hand, "Come to me if you have such embarrassing things in the future."

Su Jin opened the piece of paper in surprise and saw that it was the deed of the house, the deed of the shop opposite Fuguizhai. She couldn't help being shocked, "How did you get it?"

Qi Yao just said: "Treat the body with the way of others."

Su Jin laughed. She understood that Qi Yao was no longer the bandit leader back then. He had been in the barracks all these years, and with his ability, he should have had a half-job. Otherwise, he wouldn't have served General Lu directly. "This trick is very good. I didn't expect it before. It's such a 'returning the body in the same way'. The dog official wanted to shake off his official prestige and earn some black-hearted money, but you are better than him. It's a pleasure to be suppressed by a senior official, he will definitely be pissed off by you, haha..."

Seeing her smiling so happily made everyone in the room laugh too, which is a good thing!

At noon, the ground was steaming hot in the sun, and smoke started to rise from the heart of the baked person. The surname of the shopkeeper of the Chu family's silk and satin village was Chen. Every day at noon, he would go to the small yard behind the shop to rest for a while and sleep. .It's the same today. He was sleeping soundly, but he was called up by the buddy, and he felt unhappy, "Are you tired of work, kid? I don't know that I am sleeping soundly! Tell me, what's the matter? If there is nothing serious, I will I will assign you to carry labor on the pier!"

Such a hot day to carry work?The guy suddenly had a bitter face.Su Jin walked in, shaking the folding fan in her hand, "Shopkeeper Chen is so angry? Would you like some ice water to quench the fire?"

Seeing that it was her, shopkeeper Chen hurriedly put on a smiling face, "No, no, it's Miss Su who is here, please sit down." After speaking, he glared at the guy, "What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and make tea! "

The guy was about to leave in a hurry, Su Jin stopped him and said, "I want cold tea! Go."

Shopkeeper Chen looked at the sweat on her forehead, hurriedly brought the ice basin closer, and asked with a smile, "Miss Su is still busy today?"

"Nonsense! It's nothing, I'm here to chat with you!" To be honest, Su Jin was so hot that he was about to pass out. The summer in the south is really not easy. It's not a little bit hotter than Suzaku City, but he still has to wear tight clothes The real jacket and skirt, what a pain!

"I've already bought that shop, and I want you to help me. I'll take a few guys over there in the afternoon to clean it up, and then I'll send out the news, saying that I want to hire someone who is strong and honest. There are ten guys to do it, and the most important thing is to hire a cook." After speaking, he cast a sidelong glance at Shopkeeper Chen, "Don't worry, I will tell my second brother-in-law about these things, and you won't do it in vain."

Shopkeeper Chen didn't just want this sentence, he was relieved when he heard the words, and hurriedly assured Su Jin that he would get things done.
