Chapter 202 Meeting Again (1)
Half a month after the opening of the Yang Family Restaurant, the business gradually stabilized.

According to Li Zhu's previous idea, a corner was set up at the entrance of the store and a counter was dedicated to selling braised pork.

Hot pot is divided into red soup and clear soup. The prices of the two soup bases are different, and the dishes are charged separately.The dishes in the store include mutton, as well as various vegetables, mushrooms, black fungus, bean curd vermicelli, etc.

Li Zhu originally thought that since he had hot pot, he would no longer sell Malatang, but those regular customers came up to give their opinions.They said that skewers can be eaten frequently, but hot pot can’t be afforded. Li Zhu thought so, so she discussed with Aunt Li and ordered a bigger pot to sell skewers. The price is the same as before, two skewers for one penny , two strings of meat and vegetables, in order to avoid confusion, the sticks of meat and vegetables are marked with red paint.

The three kinds of business are done together, and they drive each other.There are constant guests every day.Aunt Li and the others are so busy that they never touch the ground.Yang Mo still has to study and can't come every day, Yang Laoshi is too busy alone.Aunt Li discussed whether to hire a mistress.

They are busy, but every night when accounts are settled, everyone is happy.In the past, when Aunt Li sold braised pork, she would go out early and return late every day. When business was good, she would only earn seven or eight taels a month. But now she was doing well, earning a net income of one tael a day.You can earn back half a year's rent in one month.And it doesn't need to be exposed to the wind and sun like when setting up a stall. If the time is too late, you can simply live in the store. It is also convenient for Yang Mo to study, and you don't have to go back to the village to live.

In a few days, there are also candidates for the buddy.The young man’s name is Zhang Hu. He is 15 years old this year. He has a flat head and a straight face. He looks very smart. He used to work in this shop. Because the boss closed the shop, he went home. As soon as he heard that the Yang family restaurant was recruiting , come immediately.Aunt Li looked at him for a while, asked a few questions, felt quite satisfied, and stayed.Xiaoer's treatment is similar to that of other families, with food and housing, four hundred Wen per month.

As soon as Zhang Hu came, Li Zhu felt much more relaxed.The young man has a bright eye, is articulate and not cunning.Everyone in the Yang family liked him very much.

Li Zhu has been living a very leisurely life recently.But Xiaobai and Rhubarb felt very bad. The master hadn't let them go to the city for a long time. They stayed at home every day, and they were almost moldy.

Li Zhu really didn't dare to let them come, one is that the Hu family's matter has not been completely settled, and the other is that the two of them are too attractive, if they are spotted by someone, they will cause trouble.

One month after the restaurant opened, Li Zhu heard about Hu Rong.

A group of thieves broke into the Hu family at night, and more than a dozen people in the Hu family were killed.The government has issued a sea arrest document to arrest this thief.

Hu Rong is dead.Shouldn't her business be over?

A stone in Li Zhu's heart was finally let go.

Li Zhu was thinking about this, when Aunt Li shouted loudly: "A Zhu, hurry up and buy a bottle of vinegar."

"Hey." Li Zhu responded, and ran out of the restaurant with the change.

Li Zhu was walking quickly when he suddenly heard a clear and pleasant child voice asking from behind him, "Sister, where is your dog?"

"Ah? Dog?" Li Zhumeng turned his head.

When she saw the child in front of her, she couldn't help being surprised.This child was about eight or nine years old, wearing clean and tidy green clothes, with a very handsome face, and a look that did not match his age flashed in a pair of deep and cold eyes.The boy pursed his lips and stared at Li Zhu.

Li Zhu recognized this child as the lead boy she had rescued at Hu's house.

Li Zhu had already made up his mind that when he saw these children, he would pretend not to know them.
