Parents are busy farming

Ye Zifen discussed it with the shopkeeper and went to the private room.

"I'm so sorry. The jade bracelet that was broken just now was ordered in advance by the fifth lady of the Ye family. The fifth lady said that she will not care about this matter and will not hold the man responsible."

The shopkeeper put the refreshments on the table and explained to the county magistrate's wife with a smile.

Although the county magistrate's wife didn't think highly of Ye Zifen, she also knew that this was the best way to deal with it. She also had to take into account the prestige of her master.

So she nodded in agreement with how the matter was handled, and the girl standing next to her pouted and was unhappy. He wanted to say something else, but the county magistrate's wife stopped him with her hand.

This matter did not reach the ears of the county magistrate immediately, but it would be a matter of time, after all, the people from the Yamen were already dispatched.

Seeing that the matter had been settled, Zi Zifen took out ten taels of silver and handed it to the shopkeeper, then took the boy back to his shop.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw that Zhang Gaoyi had taken off the sheepskin and put the blood in a basin on the side.

Ye Zifen quickly rolled up her sleeves, washed her hands, and started working together.

The young man wanted to help, but was stopped by Ye Zifen, who gave him 20 cents to see a doctor.

"Go to the doctor first and ask him to prescribe some medicine for you. Our store will open tomorrow. You can go home and rest for a day and come back tomorrow. As long as it does not affect the opening."

Ye Zifen said to the young man while busy with the work in hand.

The young man took the money and froze on the spot, not knowing how to react.

"Is such a stupid person suitable to be a waiter? What's your name?" Zhang Gaoyi asked.

"The younger one's name is Wang Sheng!" The boy nodded and bowed in response.

Ye Zifen glanced at Zhang Gaoyi angrily.

"Stop teasing him. He probably hasn't come back to his senses after being beaten! That Wang Sheng should go quickly! Come here early tomorrow morning."

"Hey...hey hey!" Wang Sheng quickly agreed.

Seeing him leave, Zhang Gaoyi said again: "You are older than us, why don't you look very smart! You have lost the ten taels of silver you gave me."

"Forget it, just think of it as doing one good deed every day! Besides, we have to invite people anyway!" Ye Zifen said.

This is a food shop and does not require any technical skills.

As long as the person is diligent and clean, it's fine. At most, it's just a bowl or something, which is different from a jewelry shop.

The two men finished disassembling the mutton while talking.

"Have you made mutton soup?" Zhang Gaoyi asked.

The wild goats they caught this time were much larger than the last time.

"Yeah! Go buy some firewood in the afternoon and stew it first. It will be just right when we open tomorrow morning." Ye Zifen said.

"Okay! I'm going to my brother-in-law's house in the afternoon. Now I'll get you some firewood. You can do the rest yourself!" Zhang Gaoyi said.

"Okay! You help me get firewood, and I'll buy seasonings and flour."

The two soldiers divided into two groups and took money to prepare things.

Zhang Gaoyi put down two large bundles of firewood and left, while Ye Zifen took a kitchen knife to separate the meat and bones, and processed the internal organs.

The sun is already setting in the west, and it seems that we will spend the night in the shop tonight.

Go to the city gate to find Old Man Liu and ask him to bring a message home.

Then he went back to the shop and continued working.

As night fell, the crew bosses on the ship were trying to take a rest, but bursts of fragrance came from the ship, making it difficult for them to fall asleep.

"Whose family is this? They make such delicious food at night. It makes me hungry." A crew member muttered.

"Let's get off the boat tomorrow and have a look. Just smelling the aroma makes me think it's delicious. If the smell can reach the boat, it must be a shop on the pier." Another person said.

When the rooster crows, the two large pots of mutton soup are finally ready. It is the time when the soup tastes best.

Ye Zifen took out the dough that she made yesterday afternoon, kneaded it, made it into individual balls, and put it in the oven.

As the steamed buns come out of the oven one by one, the rich smell of mutton soup is mixed with the aroma of wheat.

It was getting brighter, and Wang Sheng came over and knocked on the door of the shop.

Ye Zifen opened the door and let him in.

There are still some bruises on his face, which can't be seen without looking carefully.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Ye Zifei driving a donkey cart over.

"How are you preparing? Are we late?" Ye Yefei jumped out of the car.

"Sheng Wang, go put the donkey cart at the parking lot of the pier." Ye Zifen called out to Mr. Wang who had just entered the door and gave him two copper coins.

"I'm making steamed buns! We'll open the door later to welcome guests." Ye Ta asked her sister to go in.

"Has the price been set? How to sell it?" Ye Zifei asked.

"A bowl of mutton soup costs ten cents, and a steamed bun costs one cent." Ye Zifen replied.

"Yeah! Can we still make a profit at this price?"

When Zhi Fei asked this, Zhi Fen looked at her one more time and said, "You really seem to be deaf to what's going on outside the window!"

There was a bit of ridicule in his tone, and then he explained: "Ten coins, a day's income for a strong worker at the dock. Do you think it's expensive?"

"We must have made some money, but mutton is not very cheap." She couldn't bear the sadness of the third sister, so she softened her tone.

‘It seems like it’s right to ask my sister to come to the store to help, otherwise my sister will be cheated and have to give people money! ’ Ye Zifen thought.

Soon the three masters and apprentices came in. Ye Ziwei was holding a firecracker in her hand. There were already pedestrians coming in, and some stretched their necks to smell the fragrance.

"Are we not late?" Zhang Gaoyi asked.

"No, just in time, go set off the firecrackers and take off the red silk on the plaque!" Ye Zifen said to Wang Sheng.

The red silk was peeled off, and the four cursive characters "Hui Wei Yang Soup" came into people's eyes, and then the sound of firecrackers attracted people around to watch the excitement.

"Our mutton soup restaurant is opening today, everything is half price!" Ye Zifen shouted loudly.

Before he finished speaking, someone heard someone say: "Aren't these the two people who carried the wild goat into the city yesterday? Mutton soup? Wild goat's mutton soup? Let's go and have a taste!"

Wild goats have a very good reputation. Ye Zifen quickly explained, "It's true that these are wild goats today, but in the future, domestic goats will still be the main ones."

When people heard that it was only available today and it was half price, they rushed in and squeezed in. However, a small restaurant only has four tables and eight long benches. It can seat up to sixteen people.

There were many people waiting outside, and some even wanted to squeeze in.

When she was serving mutton soup and steamed buns to the guests, she frowned at this scene.

Then she had to shamelessly discuss with several surrounding shops to let customers come to their home to eat, and she found someone to come back and collect the bowls.

Then I saw Wang Sheng carrying a tray with mutton soup and baked buns walking between several small restaurants.

When the crew members on the ship arrived smelling the aroma, several nearby restaurants were already full and there were no seats at all.

"Can we stand at the door and eat?" a crew member asked standing at the door.

Because he saw people stuffing mutton and haggis into their mouths with big mouthfuls, and saw the mutton soup glistening with oil. He was really greedy!

"Brothers, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect that there would be so many people when the restaurant just opened. Do you really mind eating outside?" Zifen asked after wiping her hands on her apron a few times.

"We are all rough guys, so I don't mind, but can you hurry up? We were tortured by this smell last night."

Ye Zifen laughed after hearing what the elder brother said.

"Well, I have wronged you today. You are eating outside, so I will give you a steamed bun for free!" Zi Zifen also knows that giving away something can better retain customers.
