Transmigrated into Substitute Bride 'Fu Lang'

"Huh? Why are there so many orders?"

When Chen Xing heard what Qiu Jiu said, he thought he had heard it wrong. If he was not mistaken, didn't their store just open, where did the order come from?

Seeing that Chen Xing had been standing there, Qiu Jiu thought that he hadn't heard what he said clearly, so he handed over a few sheets in his hand, looked at him and said, "Little boss, now is not the time to be in a daze, we We have to start cooking."

Chen Xing looked at the list handed in front of him, looked at the dishes on it, and suddenly came back to his senses, and found that what Qiu Jiu said was true, so he came to his senses all of a sudden, and asked a little excitedly: "Where are the dishes that come from here?" How many guests?"

Qiu Jiu was obviously very clear. Hearing Chen Xing's question, he immediately said: "It seems that people have heard that our restaurant was framed because the food was so good that it stole other people's business. Those who haven't eaten are not bad. Lord, you came here immediately after hearing that we were reopening. There will be people coming in one after another, and it will definitely be busier later.”

While Qiu Jiu was explaining to Chen Xing, Qiu Wu, who was also serving in the hall, came in with a few more sheets.

It was only then that Chen Xing believed what Qiu Jiu said, and immediately laughed, and said energetically, "Everyone, we're starting work!"

"Okay!" Others in the kitchen responded one after another, and the whole kitchen became bustling with enthusiasm.

The store had just opened, and the customers who came in were still ordering. Gu Lang at the front desk looked at the customers who came in one after another at the door, and there was a bit of boredom in his shallow eyes.

It wasn't until several familiar scholars walked in that Gu Lang's eyes showed some interest.

"Boss, I heard that your house has reopened, and we came here specially to cheer you on. This time, you have suffered an unreasonable disaster." It was Fu An, who hadn't seen him for a long time, who spoke first. students, the most conspicuous one is Shen He.

Ever since he learned that the little boss had a good match last time, Shen He felt uncomfortable, and he made such a big scandal here later, and he didn't come to the door for a while.This time, I heard that their store had suffered an unreasonable disaster, so when Fu An said that he would come to support the scene, he struggled for a while and followed.

At this moment, looking at the man sitting behind the counter, Shen He still had a bit of complicated look in his eyes, although he didn't think this man was not good enough for the little boss, but he always felt a little bit uncomfortable.Just when he was thinking like this, he saw the man glanced at him lightly. There was not much emotion in his eyes, but it made him tremble.

Gu Lang has always had a good memory, so he naturally remembered who these people were, especially the man behind Fu An who had a peep at Chen Xing, but he didn't pay much attention to these scholars who hadn't graduated from the academy.

After Gu Lang glanced lightly at the man who was still trying to provoke him, he withdrew his gaze, looked at the cheerful kid in front of him, showed a gentle smile, and said softly:

"Thank you for coming. This time we reopened, our restaurant decided to give each table of guests an extra bottle of fruit wine and a plate of our secret dishes, and you are old customers of Chen Xing. I advocated it on my own." Give you two more bottles."

"It's a good relationship!" Fu An couldn't wait to hear the secret dishes. The ordinary dishes in this small restaurant are already delicious, and the secret dishes may be delicious. "Let's go, let's Hurry up and order!"

Shen He looked at the gentle and polite man in front of him, as if the eyes that shocked him just now were just an illusion.But before he could figure out whether the feeling just now was his illusion, he was pulled in by the over-excited Fu An.On the way to the box in the backyard, he glanced back, and saw the man standing there still smiling as gently and politely as before, but when he looked over from him, he could see a bit of coldness.He shook off the goosebumps that came up for unknown reasons, and followed Fu An and the others in.

After Fu An and his group left, two more acquaintances came in, and those two were Liao Hui and his sister.

Although Liao Hui had made troubles in their restaurant, but because he bravely stood up to testify for them last time, the people in the store had a much better sense of him, so when they came in, Qiu Jiu in the store would He went out with a smile on his face, and invited people in after handing out the signs.

Liao Hui looked at Qiu Jiu who came out to entertain him, and then looked at the more lively scene than he had imagined. Whether it was the people walking into the store, or the people buying wine and jelly at the entrance of the store, they were all so lively.

Liao Hui and the others originally came here with the idea that no one would come to eat, and they came to attack people's heads, but they didn't expect that they didn't need it at all, and a bit of surprise appeared on their faces immediately, "The business of your shop..."

Qiu Jiu naturally understood what he meant. After they opened the door, they were quite surprised to see this scene, but at this moment, they smiled modestly when they heard what he said, "We didn't expect this scene, thanks to everyone. I like our restaurant. Today, for the guests who come to the store, we specially prepared gifts for each table of guests, a plate of special dishes, and a bottle of fruit wine."

"Oh? There are special dishes, so I must try them out." Liao Hui didn't say anything more after hearing that, and walked inside with his sister.

Just when everyone in the small restaurant was busy, a thirty-year-old man was sitting at the tea stand on the corner opposite the small restaurant. This person was Mr. Chen.

Although Mr. Chen felt that the dessert and wine were profitable, he still didn't do it right away in order to make sure. Instead, after thinking about it, he decided to come over and have a look first. If these two things are really profitable as he imagined, He began to think of a way again.

So, after hearing that the restaurant was reopened today, Mr. Chen brought his servants over to see how his business was going.When he saw the scene of people coming and going, and the expensive desserts and fruit wine being bought in a continuous stream, the thoughts in his heart became more and more active. After he saw that those items were sold out, his active thoughts The waiter in the store reached its peak after announcing that it would not sell it.

"Master, do you still need tea?" The owner of the tea shop looked at Mr. Chen sitting there and saw that the teacup in front of him was empty, so he couldn't help asking.

Master Chen was awakened by his voice, looked down at the empty teacup in front of him, and asked him to refill it for him.After he filled himself with tea, he asked as if unintentionally: "The desserts in the restaurant opposite are so good, why don't you sell them after selling so little?"

The owner of the tea shop laughed when he heard what he said, and explained to him, "Master, don't you know something? I heard that everything in their shop is made by their little boss." , because they have to control the taste of desserts, so they can’t make much every day, so if they don’t sell much, they will be sold out. But even so, they make a lot of money every day. I heard that his husband I only need to collect money every day, and I don’t have to do anything else. It’s really lucky to marry such a powerful husband!”

Hearing his envious tone, Master Chen subconsciously answered, "Why doesn't he invite more people to do it?"

The owner of the tea shop immediately laughed when he heard him ask, "If they do more, they will definitely earn more. Who knows what they think. If I, no matter if I hire someone or do it myself, I will definitely earn more. I will do a lot, and earn as much as I can.”

Master Chen didn't speak, but nodded secretly, agreeing with his statement very much. At the same time, he watched the people coming and going not far away, the restaurants full of rich people coming in and out, and gradually appeared in his eyes. A somewhat greedy look.

At this moment, a servant who was dressed similarly to Master Chen walked over, stood still in front of Master Chen, and said in a low voice, "Master, I found out."

"Oh?" Master Chen looked at the servant, pointed to the chair beside him, and motioned him to sit down and talk.

The servant first thanked Mr. Chen, then sat down and told what he had found out, "All the food in their shop is made by their little boss, and even the popular The welcome dessert and fruit wine also come out of the hands of the little boss. And their big boss, who is also the husband of the little boss, is only responsible for collecting money at the front desk, and doesn't seem to care much about other things."

"Then can you be sure who the big boss and the little boss are?" Because he was worried that he would be recognized and affect the follow-up plan, Master Chen couldn't go there by himself.But he still wanted to be sure, so he asked directly.

The servant thought for a while, and immediately said: "The little boss is busy in the back kitchen, and the little one didn't see it. But the big boss, I'm sure it's the poor scholar from the Gu family, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that."

Hearing what the servant said, Master Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and apart from greed, there was also a little doubt in his eyes staring at the restaurant.From this point of view, the reason why the small restaurant was able to open and grow so big was because of his concubine who was not liked by him. Don't show it.

The more Mr. Chen thought about it, the deeper his frown became, and finally there was a fierce look in his eyes.His concubine obviously has such great abilities, and he was not outstanding before, but now he is promising after leaving the Chen family. It is clearly because of his clumsiness that he does not want to hand over those abilities to the Chen family.

Thinking of the benefits they would get if Chen Xing's skills were handed over to the Chen family, and looking at the cheap outsiders at this time, Master Chen's face became even more ugly, and he stared at the distance not far away because he was full and stopped picking up customers. The eyes of the small restaurant became more and more unkind.

"Let's go, let's go back!" He had to make a long-term plan.Since Chen Xing was raised by their Chen family, there is no reason why the things he knows are cheaper than others.

When Mr. Chen left, he took one last look at the thriving restaurant, his eyes full of determination.

In the garden of the Chen Mansion.

"Mother, I don't want it, I don't want it." Chen Ling'er took her mother's hand, completely ignoring the dignified image she maintained on weekdays, like a three-year-old naughty boy between throwing and rolling.

Mrs. Chen looked at her with helplessness in her eyes, but still patted her head, and coaxed softly: "Ling'er, we are doing this for your own good, so what's wrong with Mr. Zhao, you marry him and do it." If you become his regular wife, you will have a good life."

"I don't..." Chen Ling'er took Mrs. Chen's hand, she couldn't understand how the mother who let her go when she was spitting and rolling last time regretted letting her marry that scoundrel again,

"Mother, don't you love me the most? I really don't want to marry Zhao Er. Not only is he ugly, but he also has no brain at all. He couldn't hear the young master of Zhao's family who was with him last time satirizing him. Mother, how can I marry such a man! Isn't this ruining my life?"

Mrs. Chen's head felt dizzy when she heard Chen Ling'er's crying. It's not that she didn't love her daughter, and she also felt that what her daughter said was reasonable, but she couldn't ignore the Chen family.If the Chen family can marry the Zhao family, then they will naturally get some benefits, and her status as the wife of the Chen family will naturally rise accordingly.

Thinking of the benefits the Chen family can get, and thinking about what Master Chen said to her last time, Mrs. Chen's heart gradually hardened, her eyes when she looked at Chen Linger gradually became firmer, and her tone became a little bit harder, " Ling'er, it's not because mother doesn't love you, it's just that mother can't decide on this matter."

Chen Ling'er did not expect that she would hear these words from her mother's mouth, she raised her head and looked at her in disbelief, her red and swollen eyes were full of disbelief, "Mother, you What does it mean?"

The disbelief in Chen Linger's eyes made Mrs. Chen feel a little uncomfortable, but she still kept a straight face, looked at her and insisted: "Your father has decided to marry the Zhao family, if you say now that you don't agree, he will definitely not Yes."

Chen Linger's eyes widened. She never expected that she would hear such words from her mother. She thought that with her parents' favor, she would not marry when needed like other young ladies.Her lips were trembling, and she looked at her mother and asked, "Mother, don't you think about my future?"

Mrs. Chen heard her daughter questioning herself, and gradually felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. They had already considered her so thoroughly, and she was still here to blame them for not thinking about her future. It's a little colder,

"Ling'er, the Zhao family is now the number one family in this county. Whoever doesn't give him some noodles, if you marry into their family, they will naturally treat you badly. If you don't marry, some noble girls from other families want to marry you." To marry in. Just born in a family like ours, you should understand the importance of marrying and choosing a husband, and that this is not something you can do willfully. If you insist on not marrying, then your father will not be able to pass your test. And it's hard to say what kind of person you can marry next time."

Hearing this, Chen Ling'er looked at her mother's expressionless face, and gradually realized that compared to the prosperity of their Chen family, what she thinks as a daughter is completely unimportant, what is important is that her marriage can give the Chen family Just bring benefits.She bit her lower lip and stared at her mother for a long time without saying a word.

Mrs. Chen looked at her stubborn daughter and her pretty face, but her heart softened a little after all. She gently stroked Chen Linger's face and said softly: "Linger, I am your mother. I won't harm you. Marriage is not based on looks, as long as he can treat you well in the future and make you live comfortably in the Zhao family, that's not enough. "

Chen Ling'er pursed her lips and did not speak.

Seeing Chen Linger's appearance, Mrs. Chen didn't continue talking, but told her to think carefully and left.

After Mrs. Chen left, Chen Ling'er sat down on the stone bench with her head down, wondering what she was thinking.After she thought for a while, she seemed to have thought of something suddenly, stood up from the stone bench again, then turned around and ran towards Master Chen's study.

Chen Ling'er felt that she couldn't accept her fate like this. She had to ask her father, who had always advertised that she loved her, if there was no other way to help the Chen family.

The maid who was following Chen Linger saw the lady lift up her skirt and run away, and immediately ran after her, shouting as she chased, "Miss, miss, what are you doing! Where are you going! Miss, You wait for me!"

Chen Ling'er ran to her father's favorite courtyard in one breath, looked at the study not far away, her aggrieved expression just now turned into hesitation.She just ran here with one breath, but she was about to go in soon, and she didn't know what to say.

Just when Chen Linger was standing there, hesitant to go in, the little maid who was chasing her had already caught up with her, looked at her and said helplessly: "Miss, no matter how fast you run, I can't even catch up with you gone."

The little girl's voice brought the hesitant Chen Linger back to her senses. She turned her head to look at the panting little girl behind her, her eyes turned cold, "You wait here for me, I'll go find my father."

"Miss, what do you want to do with the master?" The little maid heard her lady's order, her face was full of confusion, as if she didn't understand very well.

Chen Ling'er explained impatiently, looked at her irritablely, and threatened: "You are the miss, or I am the miss. You wait here and wait, and also, shut up obediently, if If you dare to ruin my business, I will cut off your tongue."

When the little maid heard her words, her eyes widened immediately, and then she covered her mouth, showing with actions that she would not make a sound.

Chen Ling'er looked at her terrified look, and was completely satisfied. She straightened her skirt, sorted out how to speak, and slowly walked towards the door of the study.

During Chen Linger's journey, she didn't meet any servants guarding her. Although it was a bit strange, she didn't take it seriously. Only when it was time for them to take turns, those lazy guys went down to hide.

So, when Chen Ling'er stood outside Master Chen's study, facing the closed door and wondering whether to knock, and heard her father's low and angry voice coming from inside, she was stunned for a moment, and didn't respond much come over.

"What you said is true?!"

"The young one didn't dare to lie to the master, the young one observed there for a day, and the young one dared to guarantee with his life that the daily income of that small restaurant was at least over ten taels."

This number doesn’t sound like a lot, but now two taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family’s food and clothing for a year, and that small restaurant only accepts [-] tables of guests a day, and even the desserts are rationed. there is none left.Adding all these together, the money is not small.

Chen Ling'er heard the conversation coming from inside, she didn't know what to think, she neither left nor knocked on the door to enter, instead she put her ear on it quietly, trying to hear the voice inside clearly.

"Then have you found out what their desserts and fruit wine are made of, and what's the price?"

"I don't know this little one, but I found out that the owner of that small restaurant would regularly buy a lot of pig skins and fish skins, but those things didn't appear on the menu of the restaurant, so I dare to deduce that the dessert The fish skin is needed to make it, but how to make it, the small ones can't find out."

After I don't know who said this sentence, there was no movement inside for a long time.

Chen Ling'er controlled the strength that would not push the door open, and tried her best to press her ears tightly, wanting to continue to hear what was going on.

"I see. In the past few days, you should keep an eye on that Chen's small restaurant, record how many customers they have come to every day, how long they have been open, and how many things they have bought, and then tell me. "

"Yes."

After finishing these two sentences, the two whispered a few other words, but the voice was so low that Chen Linger, who was at the door, couldn't hear what was said.

Until the strange male voice said goodbye and walked towards the door, Chen Ling'er ran away guiltily before him.

Until she ran back to her own yard and sat in the room, Chen Linger almost forgot what she was going to do with Chen's father just now, and only thought about the small restaurant they mentioned, why her father looked so Look nervous.

Just when Chen Linger was frowning and thinking, the little maid next to her cautiously approached her and asked softly, "Why are you troubled, miss?"

Chen Ling'er turned her head to look at her, suddenly thought of something, and said bluntly: "You slaves, don't you often go out of the house? Then, do you know there is a small restaurant in the Chen family?"

The little maid didn't respond to what the lady said, but nodded seriously, "I know! That small restaurant is the one that often buys jelly for the lady, of course the servant knows!"

Chen Ling'er frowned when she heard her say this, thinking of her father's attention to that store, she felt that there should be something else, so she continued to ask: "Is there anything special about that store?"

Hearing the lady's question, the little maid suddenly slapped her hands, and then excitedly said to Chen Linger: "By the way, miss, the accountant there is that poor scholar from the Gu family, and he looks really good-looking."

Chen Ling'er didn't expect to get such an answer, she was a little dazed, and the man's alienated eyebrows and handsome face soon appeared in front of her eyes.

Chen Xing felt that today's harvest was simply beyond their expectations. Originally, he thought that on the first day of reopening, it would be considered good if there were fifteen tables of guests, but he did not expect that not only the quota of thirty tables was full, but even appeared More came and they couldn't entertain the situation.Although it was hard work, his mood was extraordinarily excited!

So, Chen Xing stood in front of everyone and excitedly announced: "Everyone has worked hard today. At the end of the month, I will give everyone in the store a big red envelope!"
