Reborn I want to be a giant

Chapter 41

Wu Liang and the others were cut off at Shuimen Street on Lunar New Year's Day, and the news spread throughout Jinling City that night.But Wu Ying also saved face for Wu Ziqi and Da Fang, claiming to the public that Wu Liang suffered this because he bullied others and acted fiercely against his master.

In addition, he didn't talk too much, such as killing chickens to scare monkeys, killing relatives with righteousness, this kind of ethos that the Wu family can't grow in a few hundred years, he doesn't need to help the Wu family to talk nonsense.

"Is Wu Ying not good with the Wu family?" During the execution, she saw the young man's expression more joyful than that of the victim.

"Wu Ying is the heir of the second family, and he is reliable in his work. He is almost the one who settles any public grievances in the Wu family. He also has a reputation as a scholar, but he has no intention of taking the imperial examination. Now he is focused on doing business. He is the owner of Hongzehang." Wu Ying checked him. Easy, it was even easier for him to check Wu Ying.

It turned out that he was also a poor child, and Cheng Fu felt a little sympathy for Wu Ying.

"I'm going back to Beijing early tomorrow morning."

Xu Ye probably didn't notice that he looked very much like a little daughter-in-law, and felt wronged.

When he mentioned this, Cheng Fu realized that it was already night, everyone had dinner, and the sound of firecrackers from all directions reminded her that the first day of the new year was about to pass.

Xu Ye is too tall for her, she always looks up when she sees him now, "Xu Liu, do you really want to be an official?"

The young man knelt down and held her little hand, "Being an official also has its advantages." I used to think that I didn't pursue it, so I just muddled along.

Cheng Fu wanted to say something, but the feeling of hunger became clearer and clearer, so let's fill up the Wu Zang Temple first.

Jiujiu and Baiju have to take care of the injured, and Cheng Fu cooks the belated dinner on the first day of the new year.She wanted to go to Xiaoliu of Xu's family, but the problem was that he didn't know how to do it either.So she, who has very ordinary cooking skills, made scrambled eggs, braised chicken, pork belly with lotus root slices, stewed bacon with bamboo shoots, and ordered [-] vegetarian dumplings.

"Bai Ju, go to the cellar and bring out the jar of the oldest plum wine."

"Okay." Yesterday's New Year's Eve dinner, Miss and Mr. Xu didn't drink, why did I think of drinking today.

Looking at the simple dishes on the table, Xu Ye was unexpectedly happy.The little girl frowned to see how he was concentrating on eating, and always felt that something was wrong.I know my own cooking skills, which is really homely.Those few days in Weng Qimin's Zhuangzi were already at the limit of her level, and at that time there was a cook to help.

"Thank you for the face." Cheng Fu took a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth. He still thought it was nothing special, but it was not bad at all.

Xu Ye was struggling in his heart whether to say "anything you cook is delicious".But I'm also worried that the other party will classify me with other ordinary people, and it's annoying to think about it.Since getting to know this little girl, his troubles have become more and more, and the troubles have become more and more strange.

"My mother left early, so I haven't eaten such a meal for many years." There are no complicated cooking techniques, no expensive ingredients, just simple home-cooked dishes.The whole family sat down and chatted about some things.

Cheng Fu could understand his feelings very well, so he said: "Then learn it after you return to Beijing, and make it for me in the future."

"..." Wait, what's wrong?

"My brother and I have never eaten a meal made by my biological mother."

Xu Ye paused with his chopsticks, "Do you blame her?"

Cheng Fu drank the plum wine in the glass in one gulp, coughed a few times due to choking, a faint blush appeared on his cheeks.

"...She gave the dowry to us brothers and sisters when we left. Although we didn't keep it in the end, she did her best to give 2000 taels afterward. It can be counted that the smooth opening of the tavern is also due to her strength. "Cheng Fu has made up his mind, and when Jinling has sufficient funds, he will return the money to Chen Mengling at the interest rate of the underground bank.

As a bystander, Xu Ye didn't think that Chen Mengling had done anything good to their brothers and sisters. Even if He Li kept the dowry in the end, it was nothing more than a guilty conscience.Besides, those things were taken back by the Chen family before the little brothers and sisters warmed them up.

"What she's doing now may bring you brothers and sisters into trouble in the future." It's one thing to get rid of the clan, it's the same thing to be separated, and blood relationship can't change the fact.

Cheng Fu drank another cup, chuckled, "Now it's the Chen family who blames our brothers and sisters for bringing them into trouble." These days, people should have been pointing out that they just gave birth and didn't raise them, and indulged this pair of beast brothers and sisters to harm others.

Seeing the young man's eyes full of melancholy and his mood worse than hers, Cheng Fu's heart warmed slightly, "I don't have much time to think about other than settling down. Anyway, there will come a day when what needs to be done will be done. By then..."

"Huh?" Xu Ye frowned and looked at her suspiciously after waiting for a long time before the other party could continue.

"Hey, at that time, I will find a mountain to be the king, and then I will tie up my beloved man to be the husband of the village. Treat him like this every day, and have two children..." Thinking about it makes me very happy.

"Pfft—" Xu Ye spat out the wine, and hurriedly grabbed the handkerchief next to him to tidy up.

Cheng Fu put his hands on his cheeks, "What do you think?"

Xu Ye blushed hard, and he didn't know whether it was because of drinking or choking, "Very well, you will get what you want."

In the early morning of the second day of junior high school, Xu Ye couldn't delay any longer and had to set off to return to Beijing.Cheng Fu sent him to the intersection of Shuimen Street, wondering why this man had dark circles under his eyes, did he not sleep well last night?

Xu Ye's mind was full of their conversation last night, and his whole body felt uncomfortable.The little girl's pure and innocent face looks like a witch now.

"Be careful in everything."

Cheng Fu could see that he had a lot to say, but in fact he didn't, "Xu Liu, I hope you can live your life as you want, and don't force yourself because of anyone."

Xu Ye was slightly surprised, as if something was flowing in his eyes, but he muttered, "Eat salty radish and don't worry, how can you see that I am reluctant?"

"Let's go, let's go." Knowing that he had listened, Cheng Fu felt relieved, put something in his hand and took two steps back.

Xu Ye rode on the horse and walked forward slowly, looking back from time to time, he could always see the little girl standing where she was and did not leave.In the end, he gritted his teeth, no longer hesitated, flicked his whip, and the horse ran quickly towards the city gate.

On the day Gao Sheng arrived in Jinling, Cheng Han finally came back.Knowing that the family was smashed on the New Year's Eve, the little brother was very angry.For Wu Ziqi's account, although the Wu family sent a few servants to settle it.But he can't get through here easily.If Xu Ye hadn't been there that day, his sister didn't know what would have happened.

Under Dr. Shen's treatment, those with lesser injuries were able to go to the ground, and Wen Xiang also started working.Endo still had to sit on the bed because of a broken bone.When Zhaohui and Baiju were not busy, they would go back to the room to talk with him and relieve him of boredom.

"Manshang" was officially completed on the 27th of the first month, and the rest is painting and interior decoration, as well as follow-up matters such as safety acceptance.Gao Sheng already had experience in this area, so Cheng Fu devoted all his attention to the promotion and marketing in the first two months.

The biggest problem at present is the reputation of Shuimen Street in the past. Everyone thinks it is unlucky and doesn't like to associate with it.To change the image here cannot be achieved overnight, the most suitable method at the moment is to advertise.As long as two out of ten people can be attracted to try, it will be considered a success.

She bought most of the residential land facing Shuimen Street on the opposite bank, so how to use it is up to her, and the government has nothing to do with it.In addition, she also negotiated annual contracts for the lease of the outer wall facing the street with a few other households.The hesitation now lies in whether to hang billboards or directly draw pictures on the wall.

After Cheng Han went home to live, Zhaohui started to do more errands for Cheng Fu, "Miss, the North Gate Casino, Dongfeng Escort, Cheng'an Escort, and Caiyun Zhai all agreed to rent the outer walls to us. The tracing wall at Caishikou in the east of the city belongs to In Jingzhuang next door, you can rent a space as long as you pay at the door. I have written down the price."

Cheng Fu took the crumpled note from him, put it aside, and handed the paper he just wrote from the desk to the other party, "You can ask someone to go to the outer city to cut bamboo and make a thousand sets of bamboo. Chopsticks, engrave the sentence above on the chopsticks."

Zhaohui quickly glanced at the content on the paper, and he had to say that his master had been very meticulous. Apart from drawing the general shape of the chopsticks, there were fifteen sentences written on it.For fear that he would not understand, I specially marked one chopstick to engrave the words, and the other chopstick to engrave the address of "Man Shang", and make a pair like this.

"Chopping bamboo is easy, but making chopsticks and lettering takes some effort."

"As soon as possible." There is no need for detailed carving, she thought it would not take too long.

After Zhaohui went out, Cheng Fu sat at the desk and looked at the price of the advertising space. Except for the more expensive people-finding wall, the others are quite cheap.Probably they have never advertised to anyone, so they don't know how profitable this area is.Considering that the price will increase once she tastes the sweetness, she decided to sign annual contracts with these merchants.As for the tracing wall at Caishikou in the east of the city, let's rent it for three months first.

"What are you drawing?" Cheng Han came in with a book in his hands, and when he saw his sister, he was immersed in drawing again.

"Gold chopsticks and silver chopsticks." Vulgar is a bit vulgar, but businessmen are full of copper stink, she likes her vulgar aesthetic very much.

If you want to do it carefully, the price is a bottomless pit. Now that she has limited financial resources, she can only order [-] pairs first.And this batch of chopsticks will not be engraved with the address of the tavern because they will be sent to acquaintances.One is engraved with the words she made up, and the other is engraved with the words "Youjian Tavern Jing" and "Manshang Jinling".Well, I still need my little brother to write the words.

Cheng Han suddenly felt that he was not going to be an official, so starting a business with his sister should be a happy thing. "Is there a share for me?" From the design, it looks very beautiful.

The little girl gave him a white look, "I will make better ones for my brother in the future." When I have money, I can make jadeite, gemstones, and rare wooden ones.

"Then I will remember." Cheng Han picked up his pen and wrote with a smile.

The bamboo chopsticks that Zhaohui arranged were not as fast as the gold chopsticks, and when Cheng Fu got the gold chopsticks, he was reluctant to give them away.Of course, in the end, a custom-made wooden box was matched, and the entrusted bodyguard bureau brought ten sets to the capital.

Capital
Xu Ze touched the golden chopsticks, then glanced at his dark-faced son, and couldn't hold back his smile anymore.Blame the little girl for sending him off, but not Xu Ye.

"Do you want it?" Xu Ze waved the box, "I won't give it to you."

Xu Ye turned away angrily.

Weng Qimin and Weng Fan got a pair each, and they were very happy.They were clamoring to go to Jinling to visit their little siblings.

Besides these few people, there was another person who also received this tacky gift from Cheng Fu, and that was Prince Zhao Yantao.He doesn't know who Cheng Fu is, but he occasionally goes to the most popular "Youjian Tavern" in the capital to have a drink, listen to strange stories, and relax.

He thought that he should be regarded as an ordinary drinker, and it was unreasonable that the owner of the tavern suddenly gave him such a gift, which was really abrupt.So he asked someone to look up "Cheng Fu", and to his surprise, it turned out to be Gu Changyan.

The people below told Zhao Yantao the truth about the experience of the Gu family brothers and sisters after that incident, and he knew that the younger brothers and sisters had already changed their names and left the capital, and went south to Jinling to start a new life.And the meaning expressed by this gift couldn't be more obvious, the little girl has not forgotten the kindness he once had.

"Gu once thought that people's hearts were similar..." It turns out that there are still some people who are different.

The golden chopsticks that have not been given away are stored in the secret vault of "Youjian Tavern", and will be arranged by Gao Sheng when he comes back later.

Jinling
Five days before the opening of "Manshang", large wooden boards with the same color tone were hung on the advertising spaces of the house and the rented ones, on which were engraved the appearance of the tavern and different advertising contents in a uniform font, such as "I have a story, and I also have wine— ——Manshang·Shuimen Street”, “Miss Yinyue, I want to treat you to a drink——Manshang·Shuimen Street”, “Red hairpin, beautiful cheeks, plum blossom wine in early spring — Manshang·Shuimen Street”, “Not Drunk If you don’t return home, don’t forget your wife, if you’re drunk, remember to pay the bill—Manshang·Shuimen Street”…

The content of the advertising space on the missing person wall is much simpler. There is a piece of paper posted directly, which says that as long as you visit in the first three days, you can get a pair of customized chopsticks. Food and drink.In the first ten days, there will be tastings of appetizers and flower brews at the door at a fixed time.Then at the very bottom is the name and address of the tavern.

After the advertisement came out, Dang even caused heated discussions, and many people came to Shuimen Street to see what "Manshang" looked like.I don’t know if I don’t see it, but I found that the building is unique and gorgeous. The open yard can park a lot of carriages and horses. The convenient place is divided into men and women, and the women’s convenient place is far away from the male’s convenient place. Keep it secret. The sex is very good, and there is an old woman guarding outside, offering straw paper and clean water for washing hands.

In the center of the inner hall on the first floor, there was a storyteller practicing, and the common people listened to several passages intermittently, and were reluctant to leave.What's more exciting is that after the lights are turned on at night, from a distance, the lights of "Manshang" are very domineering, eclipsing all the shops that work at night in that area.

Everyone has been exhausted for the past few days, but the official opening is about to begin, so we still can't relax.Cheng Fu is a good boss, although he can't give everyone a holiday, he has increased the benefits.Not to mention the good food, she specially invited a master from a well-known massage parlor in Jinling City to give everyone a massage to loosen the muscles and bones.

"I'm not going back to Beijing, I'm not going back, I want to bring my sister..." Gao Sheng snorted comfortably.

Zhaohui, who was lying next to him, didn't know that the other party's words were a joke, so he whispered: "If the senior executives don't go back, doesn't it matter in the capital?" Although Zhaohui has never been to the capital, he often hears them discussing "there is a tavern "How good the business is, even the prince is a frequent visitor.
