The melon-eating system, everyone listens to my voice

Are you here to see the steward?

Lin Ping was very surprised that no one would come to see him at this time.

Shen Zhao and Shen Wenxia walked slowly to the restaurant lobby.

Shen Wenxia was still puzzled as to why there was no customer at all.

Lin Ping was pleasantly surprised to find out that they were his wife’s two nieces.

long time no see.

Lin Ping spoke first.

"Zhao Zhao, Xia Xia, are you here to visit your aunt?

Shen Zhao responded and nodded.

"Uncle-in-law, we are here to look for you, but we thought we would come to the restaurant to see you first."

Lin Ping smiled bitterly.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

"Uncle-in-law, why is there no one at the restaurant?"

Lin Ping just thought the little girl was curious, so he pointed casually.

"Do you see that restaurant across the street?"

Shen Zhao nodded. At this moment, people were still coming in and out of the restaurant opposite. Shen Zhao also saw many horse-drawn carriages parked there, which formed a sharp contrast with the delicious restaurant.

Uncle Lin Ping smiled bitterly and said,

"It's this delicious restaurant that opened three months ago. It introduced many novel set meals and many desserts and breads, which took away our business. Alas, it's also because our restaurant is not as good as them and can't retain customers."

Shen Zhao was thoughtful.

78% off on cakes and bread.

Isn't this a common marketing method in modern times? Could it be that someone has also traveled to this world?

Shen Zhao decided to find out later.

But I'm not asking about people, I'm asking about delicious food.

After a lot of effort, she came across a modern restaurant and said she would go there to try the food no matter what.

Not for anything else, just missing that bite of food.

Shen Zhao nodded. She already knew why the Delicious Restaurant's business was so bad.

The reason I asked this was just to lay the groundwork for what I was going to do next.

The Delicious Restaurant in the original book lost a large number of customers because of the delicious restaurant opposite. Finally, the restaurant could not continue to operate and closed down.

Lin Ping, the chief steward, naturally came to the end of his career.

Lin Ping lost his monthly income, which meant that the entire Lin family had no income, and they could not survive in the county town at all.

Lin Ping's mother became even more mean and started to find fault with Shen Xiaogu Shen Congxian.

Lin Ping became addicted to gambling and drinking.

But one good thing about Lin Ping is that he won't hit Shen Xiaogu when he's drunk.

On the contrary, although he spent money on drinking, every time he drank he would just find a corner and cry.

Gambling is indeed bad. However, Lin Ping always carries sandbags every time.

Half of the money was given to Shen Congxian to support the household, and the other half was used for gambling.

Once he lost 20 taels of silver in a gambling. He would rather break his fingers than obey the gambling house and sell Shen Congxian to a brothel.

It can be said that Lin Ping made mistakes as a husband, but his situation can still be saved.

In the original book, Shen Congxian did not divorce Lin Ping, although she was criticized by Lin Ping's mother every day.

However, Shen Congxian knew how to embroider and she made a living by doing it every day.

But the second half of Shen Congxian's life was not satisfactory.

Shen Zhao naturally had to start from the source of the Lin family's decline, the Delicious Restaurant.

She spent 20 points to buy a cookbook in the Chigua system’s mall.

When you decide to go find Shen Xiaogu, give it to Shen Xiaogu.

Shen Zhao believed that with Shen Congxian's intelligence, he would be able to make good use of this cookbook.

With this cookbook, Shen Congxian has greater autonomy in the Lin family.

Even the Lin family can open a restaurant of their own, and Shen Congxian will not fall to the same situation as in the original book.

Lin Ping asked Shen Zhao and Shen Wenxia to ask about houses in the county town.

Shen Zhao drove the carriage along the designated route and arrived at the Lin family.

Aunt Shen Congxian was naturally very excited when she saw her two favorite nieces.

When she heard Shen Zhao say that he wanted to go find his biological parents, her eyes were filled with tears again.

But when she saw the recipe Shen Zhao gave her, she hugged Shen Zhao tightly and kept thanking him.

Shen Congxian was crying and laughing, and invited Shen Wenxia and Shen Zhao to have a sumptuous lunch at Lin's house.

Although Lin's mother was not satisfied with her daughter-in-law, she was willing to become a good relative because she gave birth to two sons for the Lin family, and Shen Zhao and Shen Congxia brought most of the things in the carriage when they came today.

Mother Lin was smiling happily, and she greeted the guests with a smile and a gentle expression.

Shen Zhao and Shen Congxian reminisced about the past and reconciled their aunt-nephew relationship.

Shen Zhao took Shen Wenxia to the county town and raided the place, and even sold a ginseng.

Shen Wenxia was very confused. When did Sister Zhaozhao dig up ginseng again?

Why do I feel like she has been at home these days? I have been sticking with her all day long, so how come another ginseng appeared?

Shen Wenxia didn’t understand, but it didn’t matter.

All she had to do was to follow Shen Zhao's orders without thinking.

This ginseng of Shen Zhao was older and fuller than the previous one, and he sold it for 1500 taels of silver.

Afterwards, Shen Zhao took Shen Wenxia to that restaurant again for food and wine. They packed a table full of signature dishes, two cakes and 10 loaves of bread.

Shen Wenxia stared at these delicacies she had never seen before with amazement, and her mouth was watering.

"Sister Zhao Zhao, these all look delicious. No wonder the business is so good."

Shen Zhao nodded and said, "You will be able to eat more delicious food in the future. The cookbook I gave to Shen Congxian includes a wide variety of delicacies."

Shen Zhao and Shen Wenxia drove the carriage back to Shenjia Village.

In the afternoon, Shen Zhao went out for a trip. This time, he refused to allow Shen Wenxia to follow him because Shen Zhao was going to do something bad. He couldn't bring Shen Wenxia, ​​a little burden, with him.

Shen Wenxia had no choice but to let Shen Zhao go, knowing that he would come back in the afternoon.

She had to let go, Zhaozhao's sister's punches still hurt a lot. Shen Wenxia cried loudly after being hit by three punches.

Shen Zhao came to Wujia Village, disguised himself as an old lady, and asked Wu Chengcai's disciple from the Wu family.

He kept staring at Wu Chengcai's yard. There were people in Wu's house, so he couldn't break Wu Chengcai's legs openly.

Shen Zhao had no choice but to lurk slowly and see whether Wu Chengcai would go out. If not, he would have to come back and watch him tomorrow.

But Shen Zhao was lucky, because Wu Chengcai went out.

Although his friends often invite him out for drinks, Wu Chengcai has been shutting himself in to study poetry and books recently.

Wu Chengcai was so depressed that he finally couldn't resist the temptation and agreed to go out with those bad friends.

Shen Zhao thought to himself, this is better, it’s even better when you’re drunk.

Shen Zhao followed quietly and watched Wu Chengcai arrive in the town, go to the big restaurant in the town with his friends, have a meal, drink wine, and go to the brothel to find girls.

He is about to take an exam, but he still goes to a brothel to find girls before the exam. It would be amazing if he can pass the exam.

Shen Zhao didn't pay attention to the brothel. She was silently counting sheep, one, two, three.

Finally, after counting 100 for 100 times, Wu Chengcai said goodbye to his friends and prepared to go to the carriage shop to rent a carriage to return to Wujia Village.

It was at this moment that Shen Zhao saw Wu Chengcai turn into an alley.

Shen Zhao also followed in, and a sack fell from the sky, covering Wu Chengcai's face and entire body.

Wu Chengcai asked in panic,

"Who? Do you know who I am?"

Shen Zhao ignored him and kept punching him.

Shen Zhao stopped only when he felt his face wrinkled like a pig's head.

Shen Zhao also took out a fire poker and hit Wu Chengcai's legs twice lightly.

"Ahhh!"

Wu Chengcai's screams could be heard from far away.

Shen Zhao guessed that someone else was coming, so he stomped on him twice, and finally left in a cool manner.

Afterwards, Shen Zhao heard from others that Wu Chengcai's leg was broken and he would need three months of rest to heal.

At that time, the imperial examination was about to begin.

I heard that Wu Chengcai was shouting to call the police to catch the thief, but unfortunately there was no evidence.

Shen Zhao was calm, it would be strange if there was evidence.

Without evidence, what can you use to report to the police?

Shen Zhao had a wonderful night.

She woke up the next day feeling refreshed and announced to the Shen family that she would drive a carriage to Qingfeng Village today.

The Shen family objected, but to no avail.

Shen Wenxia wanted to follow, but it was impossible.

Shen Wenjiang wanted to follow, but it was impossible.

Shen Zhao was the last one driving the carriage.

Shen Wenzhao went to the town first. She told the gatekeeper of Qingfeng Academy in the town that she wanted to discuss something with Shen Wenhu.

When Shen Wenhu came out, Shen Zhao said to him,

"Second brother, when you are in the dormitory, you must pay attention to a man named Sun Zhixue. Believe me, don't listen to what he says at any time, don't get involved with him, and don't go anywhere with him. Do you understand?"

Shen Zhao seriously warned Shen Wenhu, although Shen Wenhu didn't understand what was going on.

But everything Shen Zhao said was right, and gradually it all came true.

Shen Wenhu nodded gently.

Shen Zhao smiled and took out a bag of meat jerky and handed it to Shen Wenhu.

"Here, second brother. Eat this to fill your stomach when you are hungry."

Shen Wenhu saw the carriage behind Shen Zhao and thought that Shen Zhao was riding the carriage to the town to find him, so he didn't think much about it.

In fact, Shen Zhao was so bold as to want to go to Qingfeng Village. If Shen Wenhu knew about this, he would definitely give him a hammer.

But at this moment, Shen Wenhu just had the image of a gentle brother. He told Shen Zhao to be careful when driving and not to drive sideways.

Shen Zhao nodded obediently, acting like a good sister.

Goodbye, second brother!

Goodbye Zhao Zhao!

The two siblings said goodbye reluctantly outside Qingfeng Academy.

Shen Zhao sat in the front seat of the carriage, his expression changed immediately, his aura was released, and his whole person seemed to have changed.

Serious, sharp, and ruthless in driving.

After half a day, we arrived at the foot of Qingfeng Village.

Shen Zhao knew that passers-by were most likely to be robbed by Qingfeng Village, especially the wealthy businessmen who came and went.

The philosophy of robbery in Qingfeng Village: rob the rich and help the poor.

The wealthy businessmen coming and going from Qingfeng Village were even more rude, but no one was killed. However, they demanded a large sum of silver.

Therefore, wealthy merchants coming and going, unless they had to take this road, would prepare 1000 taels of silver as a toll in advance.

Shen Zhao dressed herself up to look like a middle-aged businessman with a lot of money and a big belly. She even bought a pillow to represent the middle-aged businessman's big belly.

"Hey, stop! I planted this tree and built this road. If you want to pass through, you have to hand over one thousand taels of silver."

Nearly 100 people lined up in order.

The leader wore a silver mask and looked cold and ruthless.

Shen Zhao could feel his restrained aura, and knew he was a tough guy.

Shen Zhao refused to pay the 1,200 taels of silver no matter how he was threatened.
