In the end, Du Qingchen could only talk with Su Dong until midnight. After he digested his food, he let him drink half a bowl of medicine that was hot in the pot before coaxing him to sleep. I couldn't feel it, and I didn't have the strength to get up and digest again, so I could only lie down and sigh, "I will never eat so full again in the future! If I get sick, I won't even be able to drink the medicine."

Du Qingchen, who was laying the floor on the floor, put one arm behind his head, yawned secretly, but blinked, and said in a very energetic tone: "Yes! Don't eat so full at night, it's not good for the stomach. Full, half full is fine, no matter how delicious it is, you can’t eat too much.”

Su Dong sighed deeply, he was really tired, "But, I still want to eat the peanut butter you made, so I can't eat it anymore?"

Su Dong was still a little bit disappointed, since he married Du Qingchen, he had eaten a lot of delicious food, and suddenly there was something he wanted to avoid, so Su Dong was quite disappointed.

"I'll make better ones for you in the future. I'll grind sesame paste for you next time, and we'll eat hot pot again! By the way, you're not allergic to sesame seeds!"

"I've eaten sesame seeds before, it's fine." Su Dong said bitterly, doesn't he respond to every food, okay?Then how can he eat delicious food? !

The next day, Du Qingchen was so sleepy that he got up to open the shop, and told Su Dong to continue to rest and not to move around today before going out.

When Du Qingchen was leaving the house, Su Dong said, "Don't forget to tell Du Youcai, Hong..."

"Don't worry! It won't starve to death. I'll tell Du Youcai that if you don't have time to go, let him feed the pigs. He's not stupid. Looking at the buckets of leftovers, he will think Don’t worry about feeding the pigs.”

Su Dong sighed faintly, "Then you must be worried! After all, it has to grow up quickly to make braised pork."

Du Qingchen: ...

Du Qingchen was busy in the lobby. When he saw the guests from Sujia Village, he asked someone to tell Su's father and Su's mother that Su Dong was ill.

Before noon, both Su's father and Su's mother rushed over. As soon as they came in, they rushed straight to the bedroom, and saw Su Dong, whose face was swollen like he had gained a lot of weight, lying on the bed to catch up on sleep. After all, he ate too much last night, drank another bowl of medicine, and didn't sleep well at night. Now that he has eaten, he is sleepy again.

Su's mother thought that Su Dong had fainted, but when she looked at his face again, her face was swollen and red, and tears rolled down her heart in an instant, and she was about to turn around and blame Du Qingchen for not taking good care of Su Dong.

Du Qingchen had been prepared for a long time. He knew Su's mother quite well, so he decided to preemptively pull the two of them into the yard so as not to wake up Su Dong. , Su Dong feels uncomfortable after eating peanuts, why didn't you tell me about this? Don't you know?!"

Of course, Du Qingchen's purpose was not to question, but to explain.

When Su's father and Su's mother heard the words, they looked at each other in a daze at first, and soon, both of them suddenly realized.

"Wait a minute! Do you know that Su Dong can't eat peanuts?! But Su Dong said, your family never eats peanuts..." Seeing the expressions of the two, Du Qingchen felt that Su's father and Su's mother knew about this, and he was very puzzled. They knew, why didn't Su Dong know, and no one told him!

"It's because Dong'er can't eat peanuts, so my family has only eaten peanuts for more than ten years!" Su's mother patted her thigh and replied angrily, "Well, after a long time, I'm used to it. Forget about it!"

"But Su Dong himself doesn't seem to know..."

"Of course he doesn't know. It happened when he was a child, when he was four or five years old. How could he remember it so clearly? I remember that time he ate my appetizers, and he soon gained weight. I got a red rash, and it was quite serious." Su's father replied, "Since then, our family has never eaten peanuts again, who would have thought..."

"That's right! I actually forgot about it. Not only did I not tell Dong'er, but I also didn't tell you." Mother Su couldn't blame others herself. She originally wanted to blame Du Qingchen for not taking good care of her brother Dong. Now there is no reason, I can only admit it myself.

Su's father also sighed, and muttered: "I don't know where the problem of Jingui came from. For several generations in our family, we have never seen such a problem with him."

When Mother Su heard the words, she also sighed sadly, "Who said it wasn't! No one in our family has such problems, but our brother Dong is not like our children at all."

Du Qingchen was listening casually, but when he heard the words, he was startled, "What do you mean?"

"It's just that Brother Dong is the best-looking person of our two parents. He is better-looking than us! Brother Dong grew up in the best-looking place of our generations. He grows wherever he looks good. It's not like his parents anymore." Su's mother smiled complacently and said carelessly.

Du Qingchen was speechless, and didn't care about Su's mother's boast. He said, "Father and mother, I'm still busy in the lobby, so I won't accompany you for now. You can stay and have a meal! I will also accompany Brother Dong."

Su's father pondered for a moment, hesitating for a while, he couldn't let go of the seriously ill Su Dong, and he didn't want to leave Du Qingchen in trouble, after all, people still have to do business!How can there be time to receive them? !

"Father, I'm so busy here that I can't leave my body. You need to take care of Brother Dong when he wakes up. Besides, Brother Dong is sick, and it's the first time he's recuperating at my side. I'm afraid he wants to see you even more. .”

Mother Su glared, "What's the matter, you plan to get sick again!" She didn't like to hear what the first time was.

Du Qingchen suppressed a smile, "Yes, yes, yes, I was wrong, mother, stay here too! Don't leave, I'll ask someone to cook for you, stay for a meal and talk about it later."

Seeing this, Su's father and Su's mother did not shirk, and nodded and went into the bedroom to take care of Su Dong.

Du Qingchen asked someone to bring food to Su's father and Su's mother before he went to work.

In the afternoon, Su Dong recovered a lot. After digesting the peanuts he ate, he recovered naturally.The kitchen was so busy that there was no place to go, so Du Qingchen had to take the stove and boil medicine for Su Dong in a corner of the yard, and watched him drink it before letting him get out of bed.

"Father and mother, I'm fine. Look, I think I'm all healed!" Su Dong happily walked around the yard, except that his face was still a little swollen, but he looked much better.

"Then you should have a good rest. Why do you insist on going out for a walk? Wouldn't it be better to just lie down in the house?!" Mother Su blamed.

Of course not!He has been lying down for a whole day, but it is uncomfortable!Su Dong thought about it, and recalled the pain of taking medicine to death last night, and lying on the bed when he was dying, he thought it would be good to be able to stand up and move around.

Seeing that Su Dong was fine, Du Qingchen went to the lobby to get busy, leaving Su's family here to talk.

In the lobby, just as guests were coming, Shopkeeper Qiu walked in with his hands behind his back. Du Qingchen bumped into him head-on, his expression unchanged, and walked towards Shopkeeper Qiu, saying hello, "Shopkeeper Qiu, long time no see! How are you doing? "

Shopkeeper Qiu was the person Du Qingchen had previously sold hawthorn cake recipes to. He was also the uncle of the ninth concubine of the local county magistrate. His family was also considered a local squire. Of course, there was no way to compare it with someone like the Chen family. After all, The Chen family is dependent on the Kong family, while the Qiu family is only dependent on a small county magistrate.

"Oh, Boss Du, Gong Xi Fa Cai, Gong Xi Fa Cai! In fact, it didn't take long, but only a few months. Boss Du has done a lot of business these days!" Shopkeeper Qiu looked around, and the business here was indeed booming. It made shopkeeper Qiu a little greedy.

"Thanks to you, I just made a little money." Du Qingchen held shopkeeper Qiu's hand and chuckled, not giving way.

He is also in the restaurant business, so the shopkeeper Qiu would never come to eat, even if he came to eat, Du Qingchen would not dare to feed him!After all, those who come are not kind, and those who are kind don't come. Du Qingchen doesn't welcome anyone who blatantly steals a teacher to learn, or who comes to make trouble.

"This is no small money! Boss Du, you have a restaurant and a restaurant in just a short time. If this is all small money, then what kind of businessman has the nerve to say that he has made a lot of money?" Shopkeeper Qiu said with a smile.

"Shopkeeper Qiu is being polite, it's just good luck." Du Qingchen was very modest.

"Luck is also a matter of skill. You said this Chen family fell down so fast! In the blink of an eye, the entire Chen family was wiped out. Boss Du, you are also lucky. Did the Chen family take away your restaurant here?" How long has it been since the restaurant was converted into a restaurant, and the Chen family disappeared. You bought it cheaply, and the Chen family rebuilt the storefront for you for nothing! I heard that you haven’t made any money yet. Losing money."

Shopkeeper Qiu said, looked around again, and said with a smile: "Boss Du is still well-run. The same restaurant, in the hands of the Chen family, has been losing money, but in the hands of your Boss Du, it is making money every day. "

Du Qingchen lowered his head and chuckled, and raised his hand as an invitation gesture, "The shopkeeper Qiu seems to be looking for me for something! Why don't you sit in the private room? Shall I drink tea with you?"

Even if shopkeeper Qiu just came to study and visit, Du Qingchen didn't plan to show him more, it would be better to go to a room to chat.

Shopkeeper Qiu saw Du Qingchen's careful thinking, and didn't care about it. He nodded with a chuckle, and headed towards the direction Du Qingchen pointed out. In the restaurant, Xiao Er saw him, and hurriedly found a secluded room for the two of them, and returned to him. When tea was served, he also felt good. He didn't dare to serve the scented tea that Du Qingchen made, but ordinary tea.

Du Qingchen accompanied him with a few polite words, drank a few sips of tea, and then got to the point, "If you don't have anything to do, go to the Three Treasures Hall. Is the shopkeeper Qiu here this time?"

"Oh, it's not a big deal, but I heard that Boss Du's restaurant has a lot of novel recipes, so..."

"Shopkeeper Qiu, this recipe is impossible to sell. As you know, I only attract customers by relying on these novel dishes." Du Qingchen directly refused, not even giving him a chance to speak, so as not to make the other party think Possibly, entangled.

Shopkeeper Qiu paused and smiled lightly. He didn't have much hope at first, but thought that if Du Qingchen was willing to sell, he didn't need to continue talking. Shopkeeper Qiu turned around and said, "Actually, I came here this time to Doing business in partnership with Boss Du."

"Oh? How do you say it?" Du Qingchen listened attentively.

"Boss Du has ideas and recipes. My Qiu family has accumulated money and stores for decades. You and I work together. You send your cook to cook in my restaurant. I sell the site and earn money." , you and I split the bill fifty-five, how about it?"

Du Qingchen was stunned for a moment, did the Qiu family think he was a fool?Although he suddenly heard that this matter is good for him, he only needs to send the apprentice cook he trained there, and for a monthly salary, he can earn half of the income of the restaurant next door, but this meal is cooked on someone else's site , I’m afraid they will all be learned in two or three days. The dishes he cooks are very simple home-cooked dishes, which are very easy to learn, and there are no special knife skills. Otherwise, would Du Youcai and Du Fugui be able to become teachers so easily!

Du Qingchen shook his head calmly and refused, "Shopkeeper Qiu, how dare I take advantage of you so much! I only hired one cook to cook, and took half of your restaurant's profit, then I'm going too far, no, no, no! This is too right I can't live with you anymore, I can't promise."

Outside, Su Junxia came to the Du's Restaurant again. It stands to reason that Su Junxia's business has just started, so he should be very busy. However, his family has Tao's servants to help with the affairs, and Su Junxia can't intervene at all because he can't read a single word. So, in fact, he is quite free.

"Where's Boss Du?" As soon as Su Junxia came in, he didn't see Du Qingchen who was supposed to be at the counter, so he grabbed Xiao Er and asked.

After Xiaoer answered, Su Junxia scratched his head, "Shopkeeper Qiu? The shopkeeper Qiu in the town? Why is he here? Doesn't his family own a restaurant? Could it be that he still comes here to eat?!"

The more Su Junxia thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Although he was not very smart, he could still find out such an obvious problem, so he asked the room where the junior Du Qingchen was, and strode away.

Su Junxia didn't knock on the door either, since he was a gangster in the street anyway, and even though his reputation was better now, others didn't think he should be such an elegant and polite person, so Su Junxia opened the door directly, and said with a smile: "Boss Du! I'm here to eat again, why, you are not doing business outside, what are you doing hiding in the house?"

Hearing this, Du Qingchen quickly stood up, heaving a sigh of relief, he could finally stop this meaningless conversation, the shopkeeper Ren Qiu was eloquent, he would definitely not agree, such entanglement is meaningless at all, but Qiu The shopkeeper still didn't give up, and even mentioned his niece who was the county magistrate's concubine, trying to suppress him.

"Boss Su." Du Qingchen smiled and cupped his hands.

Su Junxia nodded, smiled, turned to Shopkeeper Qiu, and asked doubtfully, "Isn't Shopkeeper Qiu's house also a restaurant? Why? You still come to eat at someone else's restaurant?"

Du Qingchen smiled, "The shopkeeper Qiu came to discuss business with me, not to eat."

"The restaurant and the restaurant...do you have any business to discuss! Are you able to sell vegetables to Boss Du, or are you going to help Boss Du attract customers?" Su Junxia crossed his chest and said loudly.

Although shopkeeper Qiu didn't know the inside story of the Chen family's downfall, he still knew some external news. For example, Su Junxia is no longer what he used to be, and he has joined the Tao family. Keepers.Seeing Su Junxia protecting Du Qingchen so much, shopkeeper Qiu was secretly startled. He was not afraid of offending Su Junxia, ​​but he was afraid of the people behind Su Junxia, ​​just like he was afraid of the Chen family back then.

Shopkeeper Qiu stood up and smiled at Su Junxia and cupped his hands. He didn't care about Su Junxia's bad attitude towards him, and said, "So it's Boss Su, this...Boss Su and Boss Du..."

"This is my good brother!" Su Junxia patted Du Qingchen's shoulder vigorously, "Haven't you heard? I took Boss Du with me when I went down the secret path. That must be a good brother!"

Du Qingchen shook when he was photographed, but still nodded with a smile, "Yes, friend, good friend."

"That's it! I thought Boss Du didn't have a good relationship with Boss Su because of the previous fight. Look at me! Are you treating a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart?!" Shopkeeper Qiu laughed, but what was he thinking? What, only he himself knows.

"It's just that we don't know each other." Du Qingchen chuckled, and raised his hand to lift Su Junxia's hand on his shoulder. Su Junxia even hung half of his body weight on him, hooking his shoulders to his back.

Shopkeeper Qiu chatted for a few more words, never mentioned the matter of cooperation, and left. Even Du Qingchen politely invited him to dinner, but he didn't stay.

After seeing off the uninvited guest, Du Qingchen turned around and asked, "I heard that you've been busy with business recently. You've been buying shops, and you still need to manage staff. Why do you still have time to come to my place for dinner?" Du Qingchen chuckled.

Su Junxia scratched his head, "It's not like you don't know, I don't know a single word, so even if I want to help, I can't help! I can only watch the other people busy in the dark, and I have a heart to say, how about I help solicit Dude, people are still worried about arranging manpower or something!"

Du Qingchen paused for a moment, "It's your property anyway, and it's attached to the Tao family. You have to hand over a few percent of the profit every year, but you don't care at all. It's not too good, in case there are any problems in the future... ..."

"That's right!" Su Junxia sighed, "Luo Qing also said the same thing, at least I have to intervene to know what happened!"

"Then what are your plans?" Du Qingchen asked.

"I don't know a word, even if I want to read the account book, I can't understand it, so I plan to study, but..." Su Junxia continued to scratch his head, obviously very conflicted, "Sixth son also entered school recently, in your restaurant In the private school across the street, I’m already my age. If I have to take Shuxiu to class, I’ll be in the same class as the six sons. The main reason is that I’m not suitable for him to enter the school! Master Liu won’t accept me! "

"Master Liu has always said that there is no discrimination in teaching, and it's rare that there are people he doesn't accept!" Du Qingchen raised his eyebrows.

"That's right! Mr. Liu said he was afraid that I would scare other students, and he also disliked me, saying that I would fight. If I do anything to children in the private school, Boss Du, you know! I don't like fighting at all! More I won’t care about children anymore, all my arrogance in the past was just pretending!”

"So..." Du Qingchen asked.

"Can you help me talk to Master Liu, aren't you on good terms?" Su Junxia chuckled. "You help me be a guarantor!"

Du Qingchen thought for a while, then nodded, "Okay, then I'll tell Master Liu to help you be the guarantor." He still knows Su Junxia very well, and he believes that Su Junxia may not study well, but he will never be here. There was trouble in the private school, so he was willing to help, after all, Su Junxia also helped him out just now, didn't he.

Su Junxia was quite happy when he heard that, he raised his hand and slapped Du Qingchen on the shoulder again, "Thank you brother!"

"Be more gentle. From now on, you will be able to read and write!" Du Qingchen endured it, but his shoulder still hurts. This man's hand is too strong!

Su Dong and Su's mother happened to be strolling here. Su Dong saw someone coming and called out, "Boss Su."

Hearing this, Su Junxia looked back at Su Dong with a smile.

"Oh, Su Dong!" After finishing speaking, he glanced at Su Dong, turned his head and gave Du Qingchen a thumbs up in surprise, "Boss Du's food is good! I haven't seen Su Dong for a few days. This is a circle of fat, hey, this face is rosy, and the food in the restaurant is good! It’s not bad, not bad.”

Du Qingchen: No!He is allergic so his face is swollen.

Mother Su has already raised her hand and patted Su Dong on the shoulder, and glared, "This is your elder, what is his name, Boss Su, uncle!"

Su Dong looked at Su Junxia, ​​and called out in a low voice, "Seventh Uncle."

"Hey!" Su Junxia continued cheerfully.

Du Qingchen: ...
