The villains seem to be intimidated by me
Chapter 37
001.
After Shan Yucheng lowered his head and pecked Bai Moru's face, he smiled happily there with blushing cheeks.
Bai Moru looked down at the red envelope that Shan Yucheng forced into his hand, thought for a while and put it in his arms, and decided to keep it for him first.
The passenger boat the two were sitting on quickly left the pier and started paddling towards their town.It's just because the way back is against the current, so the speed is much slower than in the morning.
Under the setting sun, the river surface is different from the mist in the morning. The water in the canal at this moment is not as clear as in the morning, and it looks much more turbulent.
Looking at the spacious canal, the two had their own concerns, but they didn't know that when the two of them left in such a hurry, the Guangfu over there was blown up.
Today, Bai Moru was making snacks in the backyard of Guangfu, and he never left the small courtyard except when he went to check out, so he naturally didn't know about the birthday banquet in the front yard of Guangfu.
The Guang family is a respectable figure in this neighborhood, not only because their family has a big business, but also because the Guang family is hooked on the good family.
Shanjia's business is spread all over the world, and there are countless large and small branches and shops. The master of this Guangjia is the general manager of Shanjia's big business nearby.
But all business transactions in the nearby commercial firms have to go through his hands, and he also collects the accounts in a unified way, and then submits them one by one.
Now the birthday of the master of the Guang family is naturally a big event, so there are forty or fifty tables set up for the birthday banquet alone.
There were so many people coming, the Guangfu must be very busy, and the master of the Guang family was also very happy and busy greeting the guests.
Before noon, the yard was already full of guests. Because there were so many people coming, the housekeeper had to set up a table in advance for everyone to sit down, and then served some snacks to let everyone sit down. Avoid the embarrassment of dry sitting.
Unexpectedly, not long after the table was set up, the servant who was in charge of attracting guests rushed to him, saying that the guest asked if there were any desserts, and asked to serve some more.
When the butler heard this, he waved impatiently and told those people to go to the kitchen to look for them. He was in charge of the entire banquet today, and he was so busy now, how could he have time to care if there was any snacks?
The butler didn't take this matter to heart at first, and it wasn't until someone came to ask him the same thing soon that the butler felt a little strange.
But he only thought that there was something wrong in the backyard, which led to the shortage of snacks and snacks in the front yard. After he sent the servants around him to check the situation in the backyard, he plunged into welcoming the guests again.
He heard this matter mentioned again after the noon meal.
When the dinner was over, some people left, but some guests from far away would take a rest in Canton Mansion, so they could take this opportunity to communicate with other people.
After lunch, there were still snacks on the table, but not long after the table was cleared, someone asked about the snacks.
At this moment, the butler, who was busy with the banquet, thought of this matter again, and he hurriedly sent another person to the backyard to ask what was going on. After this questioning, he realized that there were only so many snacks, and there was no one who wanted more.
Their banquet dim sum this time was made by an outsourced master, because when they placed the order in advance, they ordered three kinds of dim sum according to the ordinary specifications, so the materials and some things prepared before were made according to the three kinds of dim sum. Fifty tables are being prepared.
No matter how much you want now, even if you have found all the materials, it will be too late to do it in terms of time.
The housekeeper had stayed in Guangfu for so many years, and it was the first time he encountered such a thing where a guest asked for dim sum, so he couldn't help being surprised, so he went to inquire about it.
After inquiring, I found out about the second young master of the Guang family. After learning that he told his wife that she had asked someone to invite him back, although he knew it, he felt even more headache.
There is no dessert, and the melon seeds and snacks on the table are basically untouched.
The matter quickly reached the ears of the master of the Guang family, and he couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard the news, after all, such things have rarely happened in so many years.
Knowing from the housekeeper that it is too late to increase the weight, the master of the Guang family had no choice but to ask people to appease everyone for the time being, only that there is more at night.
When the Guang family went to contact Bai Moru before, they ordered two meals at noon and evening, so Bai Moru really prepared for the evening, but the portion of the evening was about the same as at noon.
At a certain point, things go out at one end, and soon they are gone.
After the matter was finished, Bai Moru calculated the money and left, but the people in the Guangfu who were still at the banquet were still full of ideas. After inquiring with the housekeeper and servants, they gave up after knowing that the things were indeed gone.
This time the master of the Guang family was celebrating his birthday, and some people from the nearby business houses came, and the smarter ones secretly sent someone to find out where this thing came from.
Knowing the movements of the guests, the master of the Guang family was also very surprised. At the same time, he was more careful to let people suppress this matter, and don't let those people inquire about it for the time being.
After suppressing this matter, the master of the Guang family asked the housekeeper to ask him to find some snacks, and he wanted to try it too.
Because it was his birthday banquet, he was busy almost the entire birthday banquet, and he was so busy toasting and paying respects that he didn't even have a bite of the meal, let alone the dessert after the meal.
After hearing the words of the master of the Guang family, the butler couldn't laugh or cry, where would he find some snacks now?It's gone long ago, and only the second young master of Guang's family moved it to his yard. Who knows that if he went into the second young master's food, he would never come out again!
There are a lot of things to do here in Guangfu, and everyone is very busy, this little episode was quickly forgotten by everyone.
But after the banquet was over, everyone in this town knew one thing, that is, the dim sum served at the birthday banquet in Guangfu was extremely delicious.
The Guang family has a big business and is associated with the Shan family. Many people in the town speculated whether the dim sum came from the Shan family, or the master of the Guang family specially invited the master to come back to make it, but the Guang family kept it tightly covered. Few people got the real news.
And the few who have heard the news have already sent someone to inquire about another matter.
This small town has been lively for a long time because of the Guang family's banquet, and another small town next to it, Bai Moruna's store, is not quiet today.
Bai Moru knew that he would not be able to be in the store all day today, so he made early the night before making snacks that could be sold in the store today.Because he is not in the store, some snacks are not available for sale, so he makes more of these snacks.
Everything was going well until the middle of the afternoon when the seven or eight middle-aged men walked in the door unsteadily, and walked upstairs to the private room without saying a word.
Bai Moru was not in the shop, so he went up to serve on the fifth day of the lunar new year, but when the group of people who went upstairs heard that Bai Moru was not in the shop, today they only had some dim sum made yesterday.
The group of people immediately put down the teapot, turned around and went downstairs.
There were seven or eight people in a group, and all of them were well-dressed people. Such people were rare in the town, but now they went upstairs and came down immediately, which naturally aroused the curiosity of many people in the store.
It just so happened that Wang Du had a dark face, as if someone owed him money, and the customers who were in the store began to whisper.
Seeing this scene, Liu Ru, Bai Xueming, and Chu Wu were also embarrassed, so they had to watch the group of people go out with dark faces.
Finally, he sent people out the door with a smile, but before the few people who walked back reached the counter, Wang Du, who had a dark face outside the door, ran back again.
"You said the boss is not here, so when will he come back?" Wang Du asked.
Wang Du's voice is not low, and the guests downstairs can hear it.Coupled with the fact that his tone was a bit unfriendly, everyone immediately looked at him curiously.
"Master Bai, he won't be back until evening." Chu Wu stood up and said.
After hearing what he said, Wang Du seemed very annoyed, and muttered, "How can there be a shop like this, the chef doesn't sit in the shop, and let the customers run away!"
Seeing what Wang Du said, Liu Ru and Bai Xueming looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing whether to drive him away or let him go.
The few people waiting outside the door heard Wang Du's making things difficult, and two of them walked in, and Li Jiu was one of them.
He stepped forward and slapped Wang Du on the head, and cursed: "Don't play tricks here, you won't be here if you are not there. At worst, come back next time. Didn't you say before that people are not skilled? Now this is What to do."
That Wang Du was exposed by Li Jiu in this way, his old face blushed, and he couldn't help yelling, "I'm teaching them how to do business, and it's not good for them to do business like this. Besides, next time, when will I come next time? If I go back this time, I may not be able to come back until next month when I am free, so should I wait for a month?"
"If you really want to eat, don't you still have some dim sum?" Old Xu who came in with Li Jiu pointed at the dim sum that Bai Moru had prepared in advance.
"Who wants to eat that pig food! It's not made by him, I won't eat it." Wang Du jumped without thinking.
Although the things are all made by the same person, those things that missed the best time to eat should not be displayed in his eyes.
At least that's how he is when he cooks, every dish will not take a breath longer or less time, otherwise he would rather feed it to the pig than serve it up for people to eat.
Wang Du made such a fuss, but the customers who were sitting in the downstairs store watching the excitement were amused. At first they thought that this group of people came to smash the stall, but they didn't expect that they were here to play tricks.
They know that Bai Moru, who sits in the shop, makes delicious food, and many people in the shop also come here for the name, but there is no one like Wang Du who wants to eat Bai Moru's freshly made food.
Now that Wang Du has made such a fuss, many people have become a little curious. Could this snack be any different?
Everyone here listened with pricked ears, but Wang Du over there was dragged out of the door by Li Jiu and Lao Xu, who didn't want him to embarrass himself here again.
This time they were invited by Li Jiu, and everyone happened to be in the vicinity, so they came here. Now that they had eaten, they turned around and went back to their respective tasks.
Especially Wang Du, because his family's business was affected by the flood, so he was even more busy. He has already booked tomorrow's boat ticket and will leave tomorrow morning.
Originally, everyone had made an appointment to come to the Baijia Dim Sum restaurant again today, and then they dispersed. Who knew that Bai Moru was not in the restaurant today.
Seeing that Wang Du was dragged away by his companion, the three people in the store couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief again.
But after this sigh of relief, Wang Du ran in again!
002.
Looking at Wang Du, who entered and exited three times, the three of them were a little speechless.
But what about Wang Du, after entering the house, he ran to the counter and asked, "You said he will come back at night, when will he come back at night?"
Liu Ru thought about it, and roughly estimated the time, "Probably after dinner."
Wang Du glanced back at the setting sun on the street, then flung his clothes and ran upstairs angrily, saying as he ran, "I've never seen a business like this, who actually asks customers to wait for the chef. collapse……"
The three people standing in front of the counter at the stairway looked at each other again, and were a little dumbfounded for a moment. What is this person thinking?
After Wang Du ran in, the people who had just left entered the door one after another not long after. They smiled at the three of them in embarrassment, and then went upstairs one by one.
Those seven or eight people went upstairs, but the matter was not over yet. Wang Du jumped up and scolded, "...others have always been waiting for me. This is the first time I have met someone who dared to let me wait. If he can't make dim sum that satisfies me today, I will smash this shop..."
Following the cursing, Old Xu came downstairs with some embarrassment, "Do you have any tea here?"
Seeing this, Bai Xueming hurriedly ran to the back to serve tea, "Yes, yes, wait a moment, I'll brew it and serve it to you."
Hearing this, Old Xu hurriedly ran down to catch up and said, "No need, just give me the tea and the kettle, and I'll make it myself."
That old Xu loves tea, but he doesn’t just love tea, as long as it is tea, he loves it, but he will only love the tea if it is brewed well. When he first entered the door, he had already drank the tea they served. Don't want to drink that stuff anymore.
"What time is it, why haven't you come back..." There was no silence for a moment, and there was another angry roar from upstairs.
Old Xu, who was making tea in the special tea room behind the counter, shook his hand holding the tea leaves, and he smiled awkwardly at the few people here.
As the sun set, the sky gradually darkened.
It took a long time for the passenger boat on the canal to row in the opposite direction before finally seeing this familiar pier. By the time Bai Moru and Shan Yucheng got off the pier, the sky had already completely darkened.
The wharf is busy at the moment, probably because two or three cargo ships have arrived, and many workers on the wharf are helping to unload and load the goods.
With the sound of footsteps coming and going here, Bai Moru and Shan Yucheng walked towards the town in the wharf with their empty things.
Not long after crossing the pier, Bai Moru saw a fish seller on the side of the road and bought a fish weighing two or three catties, then he picked up the fish and walked to the street with his things.
When the two arrived at the door of the store, it was already a long time later.
There was already a faint smell of food on the street at this moment, and there were fewer pedestrians, only a few restaurants in the distance were overcrowded.
After entering the door, the aroma of crispy pastries immediately overwhelmed the aroma of those meals.
There was no one in the store at the moment, Liu Ru and the other two were sitting by the side to rest, and when they saw the two people who entered the door, they stood up immediately.
"Why is it so late..." Liu Ru stepped forward.
"Master Bai, you are back. If you don't come back, this shop will have to be demolished!" Chu Wu hurriedly ran up to help Shan Yucheng pick up things, and couldn't help complaining while picking things up.
Bai Xueming took the things in Bai Moru's hands and carried them to the side. Seeing the fish in his hands, his eyes lit up and his Adam's apple couldn't help rolling.
Bai Moru was wondering what happened, when he heard the sound of tables and benches coming from the private room upstairs, and then the sound of a person going downstairs.
After a while, Wang Du, whose face was half green and half red, rushed to him.
"...I want to eat some snacks!" Wang Du rushed in front of Bai Moru, saw Bai Moru's slightly fair and tired face, and there was only this one curse word left on his lips.
Bai Moru looked at him suspiciously, then looked back at the other three people who had strange expressions on their faces, and probably guessed who the person who just said on the fifth day of the lunar new year was going to demolish his shop.
Bai Moru ignored Wang Du, turned around and said to Liu Ru: "Mother, I bought fish, you can go home and cook first, just leave it to me here."
Their shop opened on the street not far from home, and Liu Ru would cook the meals at home and bring them over to eat. There was also a kitchen in this shop, but Bai Moru never let anyone cook in it.
On weekdays, Liu Ru would also go home to cook at this time, because this time happened to be the most deserted time on the street. After eating, the street would be lively for a while, and then the businesses would close down.
Holding the fish, Liu Ru hesitated a bit, and looked back at his eldest son, who was tall and obviously capable of fighting, and then went home to cook.
After buying the fish from Bai Moru, Shan Yucheng, whose eyes had been swaying with the fish from side to side, swallowed as if nothing had happened.
While talking, three heads appeared in the tea room behind the counter.
Unable to stand Wang Du's noise, Li Jiu and Lao Wu, who ran down to drink tea with Lao Xu, both emerged from behind the counter. Lao Xu, who had occupied the tea room, saw Bai Moru, smiled at him, and then Only then said: "You can be regarded as coming back. If you don't come back, we will have to wait anxiously. We have waited here for half an afternoon on purpose."
Wang Du's face was a little smelly, and he hummed: "Who came here to wait for him on purpose, I was just passing by because I was bored."
Li Jiu felt the most uncomfortable when he heard his words, and wanted to choke him when he opened his mouth, but Bai Moru preempted him, "What do you want to eat?"
Bai Moru went to the counter, put down the rewards he had received from Guang's family before, rolled up his sleeves and came before Wang Du.
The visitor is a customer, since this person has been waiting here for him for so long for the dim sum, he will naturally show his face, but because he knew that he would not be in the store today, he did not prepare any ingredients in advance.
Bai Moru thought for a while, and it seemed that there were only those ingredients that he specially left behind for today, which he planned to make for Liu Ru, Bai Xueming and Shan Yucheng Chuwu to taste.
Hearing Bai Moru's words, and seeing Bai Moru rolled up his sleeves, Wang Du ordered a few other snacks in the shop that needed to be made fresh without thinking about it.
After placing the order, Wang Dushu followed Bai Moru towards the kitchen with a grimace. After the door was locked by Bai Moru, he was not discouraged. He walked half a circle around the kitchen and found the person who was used by Bai Moru. After the small window where the food was passed out, half of him went in, leaving only his butt hanging outside.
Wang Du was playing with treasures over there, and Lao Xu in the tea room here saw that there were no guests outside, so he also went outside with the stove.
Several people upstairs heard the commotion and went downstairs one after another. After a while, they followed that old Xu to find a table downstairs and sat around.
Shan Yucheng had already returned to the counter and started to make today's accounts.
All of a sudden, the shop was surrounded by tea smoke and the atmosphere was comfortable.
In another small town, in the middle of the street, in a shop with the best location, in a carpenter's shop.
On the mahogany table in the shop, there was a dinner of five dishes, one soup and a jug of sake, which made the faces of the three people in the room blush.
While drinking the sake in the glass, Qian Yanyan blushed and turned her head to talk to Liu Fang, "You specialize in funerals, what do you say about your sister? She really didn't get any money from the Bai family?"
When Qian Yanyan and Liu Fang went to inquire before, the people in the town said that the money was stolen by Lin Xuecui alone. They didn't believe it. They asked many people, and finally found out that the house was not bought by the Liu family. Believe it.
It's not long now, and Liu Ru actually opened a new store in the best part of the street, which immediately made the two of them suspicious again.
"You ask me, who do I ask? Didn't you also listen to it at the time? Didn't the boy say that they didn't buy the house?" Liu Fang drank more wine, and his tongue was already a little bit loud.
"Stop doing this with me, and I'll ask you, you really haven't contacted your sister?" Qian Yanyan asked unwillingly, "Lin Xuecui won 10,000+ this time, and 10,000+ money is a shame. With such a large amount, it is impossible for her, Liu Ru, to not get any of it."
Liu Fang's heart became sour after being criticized by Qian Yanyan. He raised his eyes to look at the carpenter's shop that he had been running for more than ten years, and his eyes turned red.
His shop has been open for more than ten years, and the craftsmanship passed down from his ancestors, but somehow the business is getting worse and worse. Fortunately, they bought this shop back then, otherwise the business is so dull now that they are afraid that I can't even pay the rent.
Seeing that Liu Fang hadn't spoken for a long time, Qian Yanyan raised her hand and patted him with chopsticks, "I'm talking to you, why are you in a daze."
"You silly woman, if I have a relationship with her, can I still keep it from you?" Liu Fang glared at Qian Yanyan angrily.
While speaking, Liu Fang thought about the shop where he had seen Liu Ru before, and then looked at his dilapidated carpenter's shop, and felt even more unhappy in an instant.
At this moment, the third person in the room put down his chopsticks.
It was a man who looked very similar to Liu Fang and Qian Yanyan. All three of them were thin and tall, with long pointed faces and no flesh.
He is about the same age as Bai Xueming, but because he looks a little thin and tall, he looks older.
He followed Liu Fang's surname, and took Qian Yanyan's surname as his name. In addition, his family was a carpenter, so he was called Liu Qianmu.
"Father and mother, do you two still say that these things are useful?" The man's voice was thin and thin, "Even if Liu Ru really got the money, I'm afraid he would spend almost all of it now. Figure out how much it will cost you.”
As soon as Liu Qianmu's words came out of his mouth, Qian Yanyan and Liu Fang felt extremely heartbroken.
"If you say that your sister Liu Ru is also an unconscious master, in my opinion, she must have made a lot of money in the Bai family after all these years." Qian Yanyan's sour voice was almost suffocating, "She wants to No money, did you dare to separate from the Bai family some time ago? And just turned around and bought a yard."
"Didn't the Shan family buy that yard?" Liu Fang asked.
"You are stupid, the yard that they bought can accommodate your family? Why don't you ask for a yard and come back? If there is such a good thing, the three of us, mother and son, don't have to live in this shabby shop." Qian Yanyan was completely out of the mood to eat, she flicked her chopsticks, turned her head and said to Liu Fang: "I don't care, you can talk to your sister tomorrow and ask her if she can lend us some money to use first. The clear soup with little water makes me almost throw up."
"By the way, dad, do you want to sell this shop? I'm still waiting to use money!" Liu Qianmu and his friends planned to start a small business some time ago, but he couldn't get it due to the situation at home. I paid that money, so I put my idea on this shop.
His father's carpenter's shop has been on this street for more than ten years, and now there is no business in a month, and he can't make much money.
Fortunately, because of the good location of this shop, many people have already bid to buy it.
"Okay, okay, you two are endless." Liu Fang also threw away his chopsticks. He was already impatient to talk to these two people. He went straight to the cash drawer behind the carpenter's shop and took the money, shaking it. Then he walked towards the door.
"You who specialize in funerals, where did you take the money in the middle of the night?" Qian Yanyan became anxious when she saw Liu Fang taking the money.
"I'll go to Lao Wang's place to have a look..."
Qian Yanyan watched Liu Fang go out, and cursed, "I just gamble every day, if I have the ability to win some money, I've never seen you pay back..."
Seeing the impatient expression on Liu Qianmu's face, he also got up and ran out the door, obviously not wanting to listen to Qian Yanyan's nagging.
The night breeze is slightly cool, not far from the corner of the street, in Guangfuzhong.
After the banquet was over, the head of the Canton Mansion was rummaging through something in the study, while turning his head to look at the second son, who was leaning against the door frame and leaning against the door frame.
"What you said is true?" Master Guang asked.
"Of course, I have set up a stall with him for more than half a month." The second young master of the Guang family was quite proud when he talked about this, "The Bai family, didn't it make a big fuss before, haven't you heard of it?" ?”
The Bai family is indeed a rich family in the town next door, but it is far behind their Guang family. That is the difference between a small family and the richest man in the area.
"Well, I know, that Bai Ruanfeng came to look for me some time ago." The master of the Guang family said casually: "It's you, can you learn from Bai Ruanfeng? If you don’t learn the family business, you have to learn from others to set up a stall, and the face of the Guang family will be completely lost by you alone.”
Being scolded by his father, the second young master of the Guang family was not angry, he just smiled and said with a playful smile: "Isn't there a big brother? I don't mind, as long as I can eat and drink until I die, I will be satisfied."
The old man of the Guang family glared at him, but he was already used to his son, "You said you know where his shop is? I'll see if I'm free tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and you can take me there then. "
"Oh..." The second young master of the Guang family elongated his tone, "What are you going to do?"
"If you can go, I can't go?" Grandpa Guang glared, "It will be Qixi Festival in a while. After Qixi Festival, Shanjia Commercial Bank will hold an annual meeting and reconcile accounts. There will be a big gathering."
In the past, their annual meeting was held in their own shop, and everyone came every year and knew each other, so there was nothing new and they were used to it.
But this year, the old man of the Guang family wanted to try another place, and by the way, he was a little distracted.
To be able to sit in his position in Shan's family is naturally impossible without real skills, and he does not lack the means of managing people.
"Oh..." The second son of the Guang family lost interest when he heard about this matter.
003.
It was late at night, and the aroma of food permeating the town gradually dissipated, and a breath of autumn came, and the streets were already a little cold.
After Liu Ru went home to cook, he wrapped the basket with thick cotton wool, put the food on it, and then walked towards the dim sum shop.
When encountering neighbors on the road, Liu Ru will take the initiative to stop and say hello to them, and occasionally she will chat with them, and she will say a few more words.
By the time she brought the things to the dim sum shop, there were gradually more pedestrians on the street, and it slowly became bustling again.
Liu Ru came in with the meal, and Bai Xueming hurried to pick it up and put it on the unoccupied table next to him.
On the other side, Bai Moru also came out from the kitchen.
He was holding the wooden plate in his hand, on which were placed ten exquisite small plates, two of which contained the fragrant hazelnut cake and the Cantonese-style horseshoe cake that looked cold and refreshing, and the other eight The other is the pink Shou Gan.
Putting the things on the table where Lao Xu made tea, Bai Moru put the hazelnut cake and the Cantonese-style water chestnut cake in the middle, and placed the other eight small plates containing longevity sweets in front of everyone one by one.
Finally, I took clean bamboo chopsticks and put them next to the small plate.
There is no one in the store now, and it seems extraordinarily quiet.
The deserted street, the dimly flickering candle lamps, the quiet and warm interior of the store, on the small wooden table, each of the eight undecorated white porcelain plates has a pink powder that is pleasing to the eye. Tender dim sum.
The pink dim sum and the simple and generous dishes are combined, although they are not as rich as those famous chefs, but they are extraordinarily lively like Xiaojiabiyu.
In the middle of the simple table, there are small snacks that implement Bai Moru's usual style, two plates less than the size of a palm.
One is filled with several pieces of hazelnut crisps with a yellow color and a strong aroma, and the other is filled with a few pieces of translucent Cantonese-style water chestnut cakes that are half brown and half milky white.
Although the two things are not as flattering as the Shougan's appearance, one is fragrant and the other is cool, just looking at it makes people salivate.
Wang Du, who couldn't wait, immediately moved the stool and sat down after Bai Moru put down the things. He picked up the chopsticks and straightened them. After swallowing while looking at the things on the table, he still moved first. The pink Shougan in front of her.
As soon as he took a sip, he couldn't help snorting softly with the lightly sweet soft and cottony taste. The tip of his tongue lightly slid across the stuff in his mouth, and the sweet taste immediately invaded his mouth and nose.
"This thing..." Old Xu put down his tea. He wanted to describe this thing as delicious, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't come up with a reason. "It seems that the nose can smell the sweetness."
Old Xu was a tea-loving person, and the one he praised the most was also tea, but now he was asked to praise what he had always regarded as an accompaniment to tea, but he still seemed to be praising tea after talking for a long time.
It's just that no one is talking about him now, and everyone is moving their chopsticks.
Bai Moru put away the wooden tray, and said softly, "Take your own tea."
Bai Moru went back to the kitchen, and after a while, he put the wooden plate and came to the other side of the room, where everyone had already prepared meals, and they just waited for him to arrive.
Several people here have seen what happened at Wang Du's side just now. Seeing that those few people bowed their heads and muttered without saying a word, everyone couldn't help but look at Bai Moru.
Whatever delicious food Bai Moru made in the past, he must give them a taste first.
This time, Bai Moru went out to do an outsourcing business, and the ingredients were all provided by the Guang family. They couldn't eat the snacks they made, so Bai Moru told the Guang family to save a portion of the ingredients.
Everyone also looked at Bai Moru cooking for them to taste at night, but Wang Du came unexpectedly.
Now that everyone looked at the people who were eating deliciously over there, their faces inevitably became a little strange, especially on the fifth day of the lunar new year, the disgust on their faces was already shining brightly.
"I've saved the ingredients, and I'll make them for you to try later when the door is closed." Bai Moru sat down.
After hearing Bai Moru's gentle words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and also turned their gaze away from Ling Chi's gaze.
When everyone was seated, Liu Ru took a bowl of rice and handed it over one by one.
When the rice was passed to Bai Moru's hands, the pointy rice was pressed again and again, until it bulged up like a hill.
This has become Liu Ru's habit, every time.
"Ru'er bought fish today, so I cooked white rice and had more." Liu Ru smiled happily.
Because Shan Yucheng lived in their house, the food in their house has improved slightly, but they still eat lightly.
Although fish and the like are not like before, you can't meet them once a month, but today is still a rare day.
The fish was bought by Bai Moru just now. Liu Ru added some sour radish and pickled peppers, and some green vegetables. Naturally, her cooking skills are not as good as those of the chefs in restaurants and restaurants, and more of the taste of farm food.
In addition to fish, Liu Ru also fried a few dishes, one sweet potato, one green vegetable, one tiger skin green pepper and one dry stir-fried green beans, and added a simple tofu flower broth.
There were five of them, five dishes, one soup, and fish. After a busy day watching, Bai Xueming couldn't help swallowing.
"What are you looking at? Eat as soon as you want." Liu Ru was very happy.Now that the days are getting better and better, the eldest son Bai Xueming is getting married again, the younger son's health has improved a lot, and the store has also opened, how can she not be happy?
"Hey!" Bai Xueming got the words, and was the first to grab a chopstick of fish belly, and then ate it with rice.
Seeing that he was eating well, the rest of the people couldn't bear it anymore, and quickly stretched out their chopsticks.
Bai Moru moved slowly, he was lowering his head to plan the hilly rice in the bowl, if he didn't make a hole in the rice, there would be no place to put his fish back.
He was lowering his head and working hard, and Shan Yucheng, who was swallowing his saliva, also stretched out his hand after the fifth day of the lunar new year, and he quickly selected the half of the fish head that was half floating in the basin.
Eat fish, there is one thing that many people like very much, that thing is the fish head, the fish head has no meat, but the taste of this pot of fish meat is all in the fish head.
People who know how to eat fish heads are infatuated with it. People who don’t know how to eat fish heads, those who like to eat, never persuade them.
This fish only has one head, and it’s only so quick to cut in half. I persuade you, so what should I eat?
While swallowing, Shan Yucheng clamped the fish head upwards. The fish head was coming out of the water, but Shan Yucheng stopped because he saw Liu Ru who was smiling at him.
At that moment, Shan Yucheng hesitated and struggled a little on his delicate and profound face like sculpture, but after a while, he still gritted his teeth and stood up slightly and put the fish head into Liu Ru's bowl, "Auntie, you eat."
Liu Ru was flattered and thanked and praised him for a while.
After talking with Liu Ru, Shan Yucheng looked at the basin again.
Bai Xueming didn't seem to have much interest in fish heads, he picked up a few pieces of meat from other places, while on the fifth day of the day, he was so hot that he devoured it and was exhaling with his mouth open.
Shan Yucheng glanced quietly at the crowd with a blank expression, alienated and indifferent, and stretched his chopsticks towards the last half of the fish head in the basin, picked up the fish head firmly and was about to sit down and enjoy it.
Turning around, Shan Yucheng saw Bai Moru who was staring at the fish hair in his chopsticks.
Coincidentally, Bai Moru also likes this thing.
Bai Moru saw that Shan Yucheng had pinched the last piece of fish head, and after digging for a long time to dig a hole in the rice in the bowl, he stared at the fish head eagerly, not willing to look away for a long time.
Seeing Shan Yucheng looking at him, Bai Moru cracked his mouth and smiled at him, then puffed out his cheeks and lowered his head aggrievedly to plan the rice.
He was swearing that he would never let Liu Ru serve rice again, but suddenly there was half a fish head in the bowl, Bai Moru looked up, and Shan Yucheng, the owner of the chopsticks, was looking at him and the fish head in his bowl eagerly.
Seeing him looking at him, Shan Yucheng grinned at him tenderly, then glanced at the fish head eagerly, and then looked away.
Withdrawing his gaze, Shan Yucheng licked the soup on the chopsticks, feeling as if he had eaten two fish heads, and his heart was full and warm.
At this moment, Bai Xueming had already eaten more than half of the bowl of rice, and was staring at the sour radish in the pot.
On the fifth day of the lunar new year, I probably couldn't eat spicy food, so I grinned at the hot pepper with tiger skin.
Just as everyone was busy, a sour sentence came from the side, "Not enough seasoning, sour radish cut too big, too much pickled pepper, and the fish is too old..."
That Wang Du looked at the crowd leisurely, and when he saw the crowd turning back to look at him, he pulled up a stool and sat down beside Bai Moru, and asked courteously: "...I just heard you said that there are still some snacks left. Material, how about I treat you to fish and you treat me to snacks?"
"fish?"
"Boiled fish, sweet and sour fish, braised fish, fish with pickled cabbage, fish head with chopped pepper... But I can't make anything you want!" Wang Du stretched out his fingers and counted, his face was full of pride Look, "Don't talk about this, even if it's a feast of fish! As long as you—"
"No."
After Shan Yucheng lowered his head and pecked Bai Moru's face, he smiled happily there with blushing cheeks.
Bai Moru looked down at the red envelope that Shan Yucheng forced into his hand, thought for a while and put it in his arms, and decided to keep it for him first.
The passenger boat the two were sitting on quickly left the pier and started paddling towards their town.It's just because the way back is against the current, so the speed is much slower than in the morning.
Under the setting sun, the river surface is different from the mist in the morning. The water in the canal at this moment is not as clear as in the morning, and it looks much more turbulent.
Looking at the spacious canal, the two had their own concerns, but they didn't know that when the two of them left in such a hurry, the Guangfu over there was blown up.
Today, Bai Moru was making snacks in the backyard of Guangfu, and he never left the small courtyard except when he went to check out, so he naturally didn't know about the birthday banquet in the front yard of Guangfu.
The Guang family is a respectable figure in this neighborhood, not only because their family has a big business, but also because the Guang family is hooked on the good family.
Shanjia's business is spread all over the world, and there are countless large and small branches and shops. The master of this Guangjia is the general manager of Shanjia's big business nearby.
But all business transactions in the nearby commercial firms have to go through his hands, and he also collects the accounts in a unified way, and then submits them one by one.
Now the birthday of the master of the Guang family is naturally a big event, so there are forty or fifty tables set up for the birthday banquet alone.
There were so many people coming, the Guangfu must be very busy, and the master of the Guang family was also very happy and busy greeting the guests.
Before noon, the yard was already full of guests. Because there were so many people coming, the housekeeper had to set up a table in advance for everyone to sit down, and then served some snacks to let everyone sit down. Avoid the embarrassment of dry sitting.
Unexpectedly, not long after the table was set up, the servant who was in charge of attracting guests rushed to him, saying that the guest asked if there were any desserts, and asked to serve some more.
When the butler heard this, he waved impatiently and told those people to go to the kitchen to look for them. He was in charge of the entire banquet today, and he was so busy now, how could he have time to care if there was any snacks?
The butler didn't take this matter to heart at first, and it wasn't until someone came to ask him the same thing soon that the butler felt a little strange.
But he only thought that there was something wrong in the backyard, which led to the shortage of snacks and snacks in the front yard. After he sent the servants around him to check the situation in the backyard, he plunged into welcoming the guests again.
He heard this matter mentioned again after the noon meal.
When the dinner was over, some people left, but some guests from far away would take a rest in Canton Mansion, so they could take this opportunity to communicate with other people.
After lunch, there were still snacks on the table, but not long after the table was cleared, someone asked about the snacks.
At this moment, the butler, who was busy with the banquet, thought of this matter again, and he hurriedly sent another person to the backyard to ask what was going on. After this questioning, he realized that there were only so many snacks, and there was no one who wanted more.
Their banquet dim sum this time was made by an outsourced master, because when they placed the order in advance, they ordered three kinds of dim sum according to the ordinary specifications, so the materials and some things prepared before were made according to the three kinds of dim sum. Fifty tables are being prepared.
No matter how much you want now, even if you have found all the materials, it will be too late to do it in terms of time.
The housekeeper had stayed in Guangfu for so many years, and it was the first time he encountered such a thing where a guest asked for dim sum, so he couldn't help being surprised, so he went to inquire about it.
After inquiring, I found out about the second young master of the Guang family. After learning that he told his wife that she had asked someone to invite him back, although he knew it, he felt even more headache.
There is no dessert, and the melon seeds and snacks on the table are basically untouched.
The matter quickly reached the ears of the master of the Guang family, and he couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard the news, after all, such things have rarely happened in so many years.
Knowing from the housekeeper that it is too late to increase the weight, the master of the Guang family had no choice but to ask people to appease everyone for the time being, only that there is more at night.
When the Guang family went to contact Bai Moru before, they ordered two meals at noon and evening, so Bai Moru really prepared for the evening, but the portion of the evening was about the same as at noon.
At a certain point, things go out at one end, and soon they are gone.
After the matter was finished, Bai Moru calculated the money and left, but the people in the Guangfu who were still at the banquet were still full of ideas. After inquiring with the housekeeper and servants, they gave up after knowing that the things were indeed gone.
This time the master of the Guang family was celebrating his birthday, and some people from the nearby business houses came, and the smarter ones secretly sent someone to find out where this thing came from.
Knowing the movements of the guests, the master of the Guang family was also very surprised. At the same time, he was more careful to let people suppress this matter, and don't let those people inquire about it for the time being.
After suppressing this matter, the master of the Guang family asked the housekeeper to ask him to find some snacks, and he wanted to try it too.
Because it was his birthday banquet, he was busy almost the entire birthday banquet, and he was so busy toasting and paying respects that he didn't even have a bite of the meal, let alone the dessert after the meal.
After hearing the words of the master of the Guang family, the butler couldn't laugh or cry, where would he find some snacks now?It's gone long ago, and only the second young master of Guang's family moved it to his yard. Who knows that if he went into the second young master's food, he would never come out again!
There are a lot of things to do here in Guangfu, and everyone is very busy, this little episode was quickly forgotten by everyone.
But after the banquet was over, everyone in this town knew one thing, that is, the dim sum served at the birthday banquet in Guangfu was extremely delicious.
The Guang family has a big business and is associated with the Shan family. Many people in the town speculated whether the dim sum came from the Shan family, or the master of the Guang family specially invited the master to come back to make it, but the Guang family kept it tightly covered. Few people got the real news.
And the few who have heard the news have already sent someone to inquire about another matter.
This small town has been lively for a long time because of the Guang family's banquet, and another small town next to it, Bai Moruna's store, is not quiet today.
Bai Moru knew that he would not be able to be in the store all day today, so he made early the night before making snacks that could be sold in the store today.Because he is not in the store, some snacks are not available for sale, so he makes more of these snacks.
Everything was going well until the middle of the afternoon when the seven or eight middle-aged men walked in the door unsteadily, and walked upstairs to the private room without saying a word.
Bai Moru was not in the shop, so he went up to serve on the fifth day of the lunar new year, but when the group of people who went upstairs heard that Bai Moru was not in the shop, today they only had some dim sum made yesterday.
The group of people immediately put down the teapot, turned around and went downstairs.
There were seven or eight people in a group, and all of them were well-dressed people. Such people were rare in the town, but now they went upstairs and came down immediately, which naturally aroused the curiosity of many people in the store.
It just so happened that Wang Du had a dark face, as if someone owed him money, and the customers who were in the store began to whisper.
Seeing this scene, Liu Ru, Bai Xueming, and Chu Wu were also embarrassed, so they had to watch the group of people go out with dark faces.
Finally, he sent people out the door with a smile, but before the few people who walked back reached the counter, Wang Du, who had a dark face outside the door, ran back again.
"You said the boss is not here, so when will he come back?" Wang Du asked.
Wang Du's voice is not low, and the guests downstairs can hear it.Coupled with the fact that his tone was a bit unfriendly, everyone immediately looked at him curiously.
"Master Bai, he won't be back until evening." Chu Wu stood up and said.
After hearing what he said, Wang Du seemed very annoyed, and muttered, "How can there be a shop like this, the chef doesn't sit in the shop, and let the customers run away!"
Seeing what Wang Du said, Liu Ru and Bai Xueming looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing whether to drive him away or let him go.
The few people waiting outside the door heard Wang Du's making things difficult, and two of them walked in, and Li Jiu was one of them.
He stepped forward and slapped Wang Du on the head, and cursed: "Don't play tricks here, you won't be here if you are not there. At worst, come back next time. Didn't you say before that people are not skilled? Now this is What to do."
That Wang Du was exposed by Li Jiu in this way, his old face blushed, and he couldn't help yelling, "I'm teaching them how to do business, and it's not good for them to do business like this. Besides, next time, when will I come next time? If I go back this time, I may not be able to come back until next month when I am free, so should I wait for a month?"
"If you really want to eat, don't you still have some dim sum?" Old Xu who came in with Li Jiu pointed at the dim sum that Bai Moru had prepared in advance.
"Who wants to eat that pig food! It's not made by him, I won't eat it." Wang Du jumped without thinking.
Although the things are all made by the same person, those things that missed the best time to eat should not be displayed in his eyes.
At least that's how he is when he cooks, every dish will not take a breath longer or less time, otherwise he would rather feed it to the pig than serve it up for people to eat.
Wang Du made such a fuss, but the customers who were sitting in the downstairs store watching the excitement were amused. At first they thought that this group of people came to smash the stall, but they didn't expect that they were here to play tricks.
They know that Bai Moru, who sits in the shop, makes delicious food, and many people in the shop also come here for the name, but there is no one like Wang Du who wants to eat Bai Moru's freshly made food.
Now that Wang Du has made such a fuss, many people have become a little curious. Could this snack be any different?
Everyone here listened with pricked ears, but Wang Du over there was dragged out of the door by Li Jiu and Lao Xu, who didn't want him to embarrass himself here again.
This time they were invited by Li Jiu, and everyone happened to be in the vicinity, so they came here. Now that they had eaten, they turned around and went back to their respective tasks.
Especially Wang Du, because his family's business was affected by the flood, so he was even more busy. He has already booked tomorrow's boat ticket and will leave tomorrow morning.
Originally, everyone had made an appointment to come to the Baijia Dim Sum restaurant again today, and then they dispersed. Who knew that Bai Moru was not in the restaurant today.
Seeing that Wang Du was dragged away by his companion, the three people in the store couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief again.
But after this sigh of relief, Wang Du ran in again!
002.
Looking at Wang Du, who entered and exited three times, the three of them were a little speechless.
But what about Wang Du, after entering the house, he ran to the counter and asked, "You said he will come back at night, when will he come back at night?"
Liu Ru thought about it, and roughly estimated the time, "Probably after dinner."
Wang Du glanced back at the setting sun on the street, then flung his clothes and ran upstairs angrily, saying as he ran, "I've never seen a business like this, who actually asks customers to wait for the chef. collapse……"
The three people standing in front of the counter at the stairway looked at each other again, and were a little dumbfounded for a moment. What is this person thinking?
After Wang Du ran in, the people who had just left entered the door one after another not long after. They smiled at the three of them in embarrassment, and then went upstairs one by one.
Those seven or eight people went upstairs, but the matter was not over yet. Wang Du jumped up and scolded, "...others have always been waiting for me. This is the first time I have met someone who dared to let me wait. If he can't make dim sum that satisfies me today, I will smash this shop..."
Following the cursing, Old Xu came downstairs with some embarrassment, "Do you have any tea here?"
Seeing this, Bai Xueming hurriedly ran to the back to serve tea, "Yes, yes, wait a moment, I'll brew it and serve it to you."
Hearing this, Old Xu hurriedly ran down to catch up and said, "No need, just give me the tea and the kettle, and I'll make it myself."
That old Xu loves tea, but he doesn’t just love tea, as long as it is tea, he loves it, but he will only love the tea if it is brewed well. When he first entered the door, he had already drank the tea they served. Don't want to drink that stuff anymore.
"What time is it, why haven't you come back..." There was no silence for a moment, and there was another angry roar from upstairs.
Old Xu, who was making tea in the special tea room behind the counter, shook his hand holding the tea leaves, and he smiled awkwardly at the few people here.
As the sun set, the sky gradually darkened.
It took a long time for the passenger boat on the canal to row in the opposite direction before finally seeing this familiar pier. By the time Bai Moru and Shan Yucheng got off the pier, the sky had already completely darkened.
The wharf is busy at the moment, probably because two or three cargo ships have arrived, and many workers on the wharf are helping to unload and load the goods.
With the sound of footsteps coming and going here, Bai Moru and Shan Yucheng walked towards the town in the wharf with their empty things.
Not long after crossing the pier, Bai Moru saw a fish seller on the side of the road and bought a fish weighing two or three catties, then he picked up the fish and walked to the street with his things.
When the two arrived at the door of the store, it was already a long time later.
There was already a faint smell of food on the street at this moment, and there were fewer pedestrians, only a few restaurants in the distance were overcrowded.
After entering the door, the aroma of crispy pastries immediately overwhelmed the aroma of those meals.
There was no one in the store at the moment, Liu Ru and the other two were sitting by the side to rest, and when they saw the two people who entered the door, they stood up immediately.
"Why is it so late..." Liu Ru stepped forward.
"Master Bai, you are back. If you don't come back, this shop will have to be demolished!" Chu Wu hurriedly ran up to help Shan Yucheng pick up things, and couldn't help complaining while picking things up.
Bai Xueming took the things in Bai Moru's hands and carried them to the side. Seeing the fish in his hands, his eyes lit up and his Adam's apple couldn't help rolling.
Bai Moru was wondering what happened, when he heard the sound of tables and benches coming from the private room upstairs, and then the sound of a person going downstairs.
After a while, Wang Du, whose face was half green and half red, rushed to him.
"...I want to eat some snacks!" Wang Du rushed in front of Bai Moru, saw Bai Moru's slightly fair and tired face, and there was only this one curse word left on his lips.
Bai Moru looked at him suspiciously, then looked back at the other three people who had strange expressions on their faces, and probably guessed who the person who just said on the fifth day of the lunar new year was going to demolish his shop.
Bai Moru ignored Wang Du, turned around and said to Liu Ru: "Mother, I bought fish, you can go home and cook first, just leave it to me here."
Their shop opened on the street not far from home, and Liu Ru would cook the meals at home and bring them over to eat. There was also a kitchen in this shop, but Bai Moru never let anyone cook in it.
On weekdays, Liu Ru would also go home to cook at this time, because this time happened to be the most deserted time on the street. After eating, the street would be lively for a while, and then the businesses would close down.
Holding the fish, Liu Ru hesitated a bit, and looked back at his eldest son, who was tall and obviously capable of fighting, and then went home to cook.
After buying the fish from Bai Moru, Shan Yucheng, whose eyes had been swaying with the fish from side to side, swallowed as if nothing had happened.
While talking, three heads appeared in the tea room behind the counter.
Unable to stand Wang Du's noise, Li Jiu and Lao Wu, who ran down to drink tea with Lao Xu, both emerged from behind the counter. Lao Xu, who had occupied the tea room, saw Bai Moru, smiled at him, and then Only then said: "You can be regarded as coming back. If you don't come back, we will have to wait anxiously. We have waited here for half an afternoon on purpose."
Wang Du's face was a little smelly, and he hummed: "Who came here to wait for him on purpose, I was just passing by because I was bored."
Li Jiu felt the most uncomfortable when he heard his words, and wanted to choke him when he opened his mouth, but Bai Moru preempted him, "What do you want to eat?"
Bai Moru went to the counter, put down the rewards he had received from Guang's family before, rolled up his sleeves and came before Wang Du.
The visitor is a customer, since this person has been waiting here for him for so long for the dim sum, he will naturally show his face, but because he knew that he would not be in the store today, he did not prepare any ingredients in advance.
Bai Moru thought for a while, and it seemed that there were only those ingredients that he specially left behind for today, which he planned to make for Liu Ru, Bai Xueming and Shan Yucheng Chuwu to taste.
Hearing Bai Moru's words, and seeing Bai Moru rolled up his sleeves, Wang Du ordered a few other snacks in the shop that needed to be made fresh without thinking about it.
After placing the order, Wang Dushu followed Bai Moru towards the kitchen with a grimace. After the door was locked by Bai Moru, he was not discouraged. He walked half a circle around the kitchen and found the person who was used by Bai Moru. After the small window where the food was passed out, half of him went in, leaving only his butt hanging outside.
Wang Du was playing with treasures over there, and Lao Xu in the tea room here saw that there were no guests outside, so he also went outside with the stove.
Several people upstairs heard the commotion and went downstairs one after another. After a while, they followed that old Xu to find a table downstairs and sat around.
Shan Yucheng had already returned to the counter and started to make today's accounts.
All of a sudden, the shop was surrounded by tea smoke and the atmosphere was comfortable.
In another small town, in the middle of the street, in a shop with the best location, in a carpenter's shop.
On the mahogany table in the shop, there was a dinner of five dishes, one soup and a jug of sake, which made the faces of the three people in the room blush.
While drinking the sake in the glass, Qian Yanyan blushed and turned her head to talk to Liu Fang, "You specialize in funerals, what do you say about your sister? She really didn't get any money from the Bai family?"
When Qian Yanyan and Liu Fang went to inquire before, the people in the town said that the money was stolen by Lin Xuecui alone. They didn't believe it. They asked many people, and finally found out that the house was not bought by the Liu family. Believe it.
It's not long now, and Liu Ru actually opened a new store in the best part of the street, which immediately made the two of them suspicious again.
"You ask me, who do I ask? Didn't you also listen to it at the time? Didn't the boy say that they didn't buy the house?" Liu Fang drank more wine, and his tongue was already a little bit loud.
"Stop doing this with me, and I'll ask you, you really haven't contacted your sister?" Qian Yanyan asked unwillingly, "Lin Xuecui won 10,000+ this time, and 10,000+ money is a shame. With such a large amount, it is impossible for her, Liu Ru, to not get any of it."
Liu Fang's heart became sour after being criticized by Qian Yanyan. He raised his eyes to look at the carpenter's shop that he had been running for more than ten years, and his eyes turned red.
His shop has been open for more than ten years, and the craftsmanship passed down from his ancestors, but somehow the business is getting worse and worse. Fortunately, they bought this shop back then, otherwise the business is so dull now that they are afraid that I can't even pay the rent.
Seeing that Liu Fang hadn't spoken for a long time, Qian Yanyan raised her hand and patted him with chopsticks, "I'm talking to you, why are you in a daze."
"You silly woman, if I have a relationship with her, can I still keep it from you?" Liu Fang glared at Qian Yanyan angrily.
While speaking, Liu Fang thought about the shop where he had seen Liu Ru before, and then looked at his dilapidated carpenter's shop, and felt even more unhappy in an instant.
At this moment, the third person in the room put down his chopsticks.
It was a man who looked very similar to Liu Fang and Qian Yanyan. All three of them were thin and tall, with long pointed faces and no flesh.
He is about the same age as Bai Xueming, but because he looks a little thin and tall, he looks older.
He followed Liu Fang's surname, and took Qian Yanyan's surname as his name. In addition, his family was a carpenter, so he was called Liu Qianmu.
"Father and mother, do you two still say that these things are useful?" The man's voice was thin and thin, "Even if Liu Ru really got the money, I'm afraid he would spend almost all of it now. Figure out how much it will cost you.”
As soon as Liu Qianmu's words came out of his mouth, Qian Yanyan and Liu Fang felt extremely heartbroken.
"If you say that your sister Liu Ru is also an unconscious master, in my opinion, she must have made a lot of money in the Bai family after all these years." Qian Yanyan's sour voice was almost suffocating, "She wants to No money, did you dare to separate from the Bai family some time ago? And just turned around and bought a yard."
"Didn't the Shan family buy that yard?" Liu Fang asked.
"You are stupid, the yard that they bought can accommodate your family? Why don't you ask for a yard and come back? If there is such a good thing, the three of us, mother and son, don't have to live in this shabby shop." Qian Yanyan was completely out of the mood to eat, she flicked her chopsticks, turned her head and said to Liu Fang: "I don't care, you can talk to your sister tomorrow and ask her if she can lend us some money to use first. The clear soup with little water makes me almost throw up."
"By the way, dad, do you want to sell this shop? I'm still waiting to use money!" Liu Qianmu and his friends planned to start a small business some time ago, but he couldn't get it due to the situation at home. I paid that money, so I put my idea on this shop.
His father's carpenter's shop has been on this street for more than ten years, and now there is no business in a month, and he can't make much money.
Fortunately, because of the good location of this shop, many people have already bid to buy it.
"Okay, okay, you two are endless." Liu Fang also threw away his chopsticks. He was already impatient to talk to these two people. He went straight to the cash drawer behind the carpenter's shop and took the money, shaking it. Then he walked towards the door.
"You who specialize in funerals, where did you take the money in the middle of the night?" Qian Yanyan became anxious when she saw Liu Fang taking the money.
"I'll go to Lao Wang's place to have a look..."
Qian Yanyan watched Liu Fang go out, and cursed, "I just gamble every day, if I have the ability to win some money, I've never seen you pay back..."
Seeing the impatient expression on Liu Qianmu's face, he also got up and ran out the door, obviously not wanting to listen to Qian Yanyan's nagging.
The night breeze is slightly cool, not far from the corner of the street, in Guangfuzhong.
After the banquet was over, the head of the Canton Mansion was rummaging through something in the study, while turning his head to look at the second son, who was leaning against the door frame and leaning against the door frame.
"What you said is true?" Master Guang asked.
"Of course, I have set up a stall with him for more than half a month." The second young master of the Guang family was quite proud when he talked about this, "The Bai family, didn't it make a big fuss before, haven't you heard of it?" ?”
The Bai family is indeed a rich family in the town next door, but it is far behind their Guang family. That is the difference between a small family and the richest man in the area.
"Well, I know, that Bai Ruanfeng came to look for me some time ago." The master of the Guang family said casually: "It's you, can you learn from Bai Ruanfeng? If you don’t learn the family business, you have to learn from others to set up a stall, and the face of the Guang family will be completely lost by you alone.”
Being scolded by his father, the second young master of the Guang family was not angry, he just smiled and said with a playful smile: "Isn't there a big brother? I don't mind, as long as I can eat and drink until I die, I will be satisfied."
The old man of the Guang family glared at him, but he was already used to his son, "You said you know where his shop is? I'll see if I'm free tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and you can take me there then. "
"Oh..." The second young master of the Guang family elongated his tone, "What are you going to do?"
"If you can go, I can't go?" Grandpa Guang glared, "It will be Qixi Festival in a while. After Qixi Festival, Shanjia Commercial Bank will hold an annual meeting and reconcile accounts. There will be a big gathering."
In the past, their annual meeting was held in their own shop, and everyone came every year and knew each other, so there was nothing new and they were used to it.
But this year, the old man of the Guang family wanted to try another place, and by the way, he was a little distracted.
To be able to sit in his position in Shan's family is naturally impossible without real skills, and he does not lack the means of managing people.
"Oh..." The second son of the Guang family lost interest when he heard about this matter.
003.
It was late at night, and the aroma of food permeating the town gradually dissipated, and a breath of autumn came, and the streets were already a little cold.
After Liu Ru went home to cook, he wrapped the basket with thick cotton wool, put the food on it, and then walked towards the dim sum shop.
When encountering neighbors on the road, Liu Ru will take the initiative to stop and say hello to them, and occasionally she will chat with them, and she will say a few more words.
By the time she brought the things to the dim sum shop, there were gradually more pedestrians on the street, and it slowly became bustling again.
Liu Ru came in with the meal, and Bai Xueming hurried to pick it up and put it on the unoccupied table next to him.
On the other side, Bai Moru also came out from the kitchen.
He was holding the wooden plate in his hand, on which were placed ten exquisite small plates, two of which contained the fragrant hazelnut cake and the Cantonese-style horseshoe cake that looked cold and refreshing, and the other eight The other is the pink Shou Gan.
Putting the things on the table where Lao Xu made tea, Bai Moru put the hazelnut cake and the Cantonese-style water chestnut cake in the middle, and placed the other eight small plates containing longevity sweets in front of everyone one by one.
Finally, I took clean bamboo chopsticks and put them next to the small plate.
There is no one in the store now, and it seems extraordinarily quiet.
The deserted street, the dimly flickering candle lamps, the quiet and warm interior of the store, on the small wooden table, each of the eight undecorated white porcelain plates has a pink powder that is pleasing to the eye. Tender dim sum.
The pink dim sum and the simple and generous dishes are combined, although they are not as rich as those famous chefs, but they are extraordinarily lively like Xiaojiabiyu.
In the middle of the simple table, there are small snacks that implement Bai Moru's usual style, two plates less than the size of a palm.
One is filled with several pieces of hazelnut crisps with a yellow color and a strong aroma, and the other is filled with a few pieces of translucent Cantonese-style water chestnut cakes that are half brown and half milky white.
Although the two things are not as flattering as the Shougan's appearance, one is fragrant and the other is cool, just looking at it makes people salivate.
Wang Du, who couldn't wait, immediately moved the stool and sat down after Bai Moru put down the things. He picked up the chopsticks and straightened them. After swallowing while looking at the things on the table, he still moved first. The pink Shougan in front of her.
As soon as he took a sip, he couldn't help snorting softly with the lightly sweet soft and cottony taste. The tip of his tongue lightly slid across the stuff in his mouth, and the sweet taste immediately invaded his mouth and nose.
"This thing..." Old Xu put down his tea. He wanted to describe this thing as delicious, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't come up with a reason. "It seems that the nose can smell the sweetness."
Old Xu was a tea-loving person, and the one he praised the most was also tea, but now he was asked to praise what he had always regarded as an accompaniment to tea, but he still seemed to be praising tea after talking for a long time.
It's just that no one is talking about him now, and everyone is moving their chopsticks.
Bai Moru put away the wooden tray, and said softly, "Take your own tea."
Bai Moru went back to the kitchen, and after a while, he put the wooden plate and came to the other side of the room, where everyone had already prepared meals, and they just waited for him to arrive.
Several people here have seen what happened at Wang Du's side just now. Seeing that those few people bowed their heads and muttered without saying a word, everyone couldn't help but look at Bai Moru.
Whatever delicious food Bai Moru made in the past, he must give them a taste first.
This time, Bai Moru went out to do an outsourcing business, and the ingredients were all provided by the Guang family. They couldn't eat the snacks they made, so Bai Moru told the Guang family to save a portion of the ingredients.
Everyone also looked at Bai Moru cooking for them to taste at night, but Wang Du came unexpectedly.
Now that everyone looked at the people who were eating deliciously over there, their faces inevitably became a little strange, especially on the fifth day of the lunar new year, the disgust on their faces was already shining brightly.
"I've saved the ingredients, and I'll make them for you to try later when the door is closed." Bai Moru sat down.
After hearing Bai Moru's gentle words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and also turned their gaze away from Ling Chi's gaze.
When everyone was seated, Liu Ru took a bowl of rice and handed it over one by one.
When the rice was passed to Bai Moru's hands, the pointy rice was pressed again and again, until it bulged up like a hill.
This has become Liu Ru's habit, every time.
"Ru'er bought fish today, so I cooked white rice and had more." Liu Ru smiled happily.
Because Shan Yucheng lived in their house, the food in their house has improved slightly, but they still eat lightly.
Although fish and the like are not like before, you can't meet them once a month, but today is still a rare day.
The fish was bought by Bai Moru just now. Liu Ru added some sour radish and pickled peppers, and some green vegetables. Naturally, her cooking skills are not as good as those of the chefs in restaurants and restaurants, and more of the taste of farm food.
In addition to fish, Liu Ru also fried a few dishes, one sweet potato, one green vegetable, one tiger skin green pepper and one dry stir-fried green beans, and added a simple tofu flower broth.
There were five of them, five dishes, one soup, and fish. After a busy day watching, Bai Xueming couldn't help swallowing.
"What are you looking at? Eat as soon as you want." Liu Ru was very happy.Now that the days are getting better and better, the eldest son Bai Xueming is getting married again, the younger son's health has improved a lot, and the store has also opened, how can she not be happy?
"Hey!" Bai Xueming got the words, and was the first to grab a chopstick of fish belly, and then ate it with rice.
Seeing that he was eating well, the rest of the people couldn't bear it anymore, and quickly stretched out their chopsticks.
Bai Moru moved slowly, he was lowering his head to plan the hilly rice in the bowl, if he didn't make a hole in the rice, there would be no place to put his fish back.
He was lowering his head and working hard, and Shan Yucheng, who was swallowing his saliva, also stretched out his hand after the fifth day of the lunar new year, and he quickly selected the half of the fish head that was half floating in the basin.
Eat fish, there is one thing that many people like very much, that thing is the fish head, the fish head has no meat, but the taste of this pot of fish meat is all in the fish head.
People who know how to eat fish heads are infatuated with it. People who don’t know how to eat fish heads, those who like to eat, never persuade them.
This fish only has one head, and it’s only so quick to cut in half. I persuade you, so what should I eat?
While swallowing, Shan Yucheng clamped the fish head upwards. The fish head was coming out of the water, but Shan Yucheng stopped because he saw Liu Ru who was smiling at him.
At that moment, Shan Yucheng hesitated and struggled a little on his delicate and profound face like sculpture, but after a while, he still gritted his teeth and stood up slightly and put the fish head into Liu Ru's bowl, "Auntie, you eat."
Liu Ru was flattered and thanked and praised him for a while.
After talking with Liu Ru, Shan Yucheng looked at the basin again.
Bai Xueming didn't seem to have much interest in fish heads, he picked up a few pieces of meat from other places, while on the fifth day of the day, he was so hot that he devoured it and was exhaling with his mouth open.
Shan Yucheng glanced quietly at the crowd with a blank expression, alienated and indifferent, and stretched his chopsticks towards the last half of the fish head in the basin, picked up the fish head firmly and was about to sit down and enjoy it.
Turning around, Shan Yucheng saw Bai Moru who was staring at the fish hair in his chopsticks.
Coincidentally, Bai Moru also likes this thing.
Bai Moru saw that Shan Yucheng had pinched the last piece of fish head, and after digging for a long time to dig a hole in the rice in the bowl, he stared at the fish head eagerly, not willing to look away for a long time.
Seeing Shan Yucheng looking at him, Bai Moru cracked his mouth and smiled at him, then puffed out his cheeks and lowered his head aggrievedly to plan the rice.
He was swearing that he would never let Liu Ru serve rice again, but suddenly there was half a fish head in the bowl, Bai Moru looked up, and Shan Yucheng, the owner of the chopsticks, was looking at him and the fish head in his bowl eagerly.
Seeing him looking at him, Shan Yucheng grinned at him tenderly, then glanced at the fish head eagerly, and then looked away.
Withdrawing his gaze, Shan Yucheng licked the soup on the chopsticks, feeling as if he had eaten two fish heads, and his heart was full and warm.
At this moment, Bai Xueming had already eaten more than half of the bowl of rice, and was staring at the sour radish in the pot.
On the fifth day of the lunar new year, I probably couldn't eat spicy food, so I grinned at the hot pepper with tiger skin.
Just as everyone was busy, a sour sentence came from the side, "Not enough seasoning, sour radish cut too big, too much pickled pepper, and the fish is too old..."
That Wang Du looked at the crowd leisurely, and when he saw the crowd turning back to look at him, he pulled up a stool and sat down beside Bai Moru, and asked courteously: "...I just heard you said that there are still some snacks left. Material, how about I treat you to fish and you treat me to snacks?"
"fish?"
"Boiled fish, sweet and sour fish, braised fish, fish with pickled cabbage, fish head with chopped pepper... But I can't make anything you want!" Wang Du stretched out his fingers and counted, his face was full of pride Look, "Don't talk about this, even if it's a feast of fish! As long as you—"
"No."
