Chapter 241 Why don’t you give me a sister?
After Mr. Xie finished eating, he also praised it highly: "It's really good, it's more comfortable than the food at home. It's so comfortable to eat a bowl of this in the middle of winter."
He also ordered sausages and meatballs, and started chatting with Mr. Zhu, "It's a pity there's no wine. Another pot of wine would be perfect."
Master Zhu ordered Liao Baojia rudely: "Young man, bring me a pot of wine. I'll pay you for running errands."
Liao Baojia took out his own wine from under the pot. It was given to him by Shen Nanzhi. He drank a sip when he was tired to warm his body and relieve fatigue. It was very comfortable.
"If you don't mind, drink this. It's warm under the stove. It's free."
Mr. Xie said, "Is this the wine that Miss Shen brewed herself? We must try it. Boy, follow Miss Shen and work hard. A world of wealth is waiting for you."
"I think so too."
Liao Baojia poured a bowl of wine for each of them. They drank it slowly and continued to work. They also moved the guests around them away to make it easier for them to talk.
Master Zhu was very surprised and asked, "What is the relationship between this boy and Miss Shen?"
"Miss Shen is kind-hearted. She helped him. If I'm right, this spicy hot pot was also Miss Shen's idea."
Mr. Zhu had naturally heard of Shen Nanzhi, "Why doesn't she do it herself? Why not let an outsider take advantage of it?"
Mr. Xie took a sip of the wine, which was richer, spicier and stronger than the one he brewed at home. He turned around and discussed with Miss Shen about cooperating in selling wine.
Without Jiang Chen deceiving his son, his relationship with Miss Shen would be more relaxed, and there would be hope for cooperation.
Fortunately, Jiang Chen left. He was such a jinx that anyone who came into contact with him would be in trouble.
"Miss Shen is busy with her big business and doesn't care about this little money. Have you heard that Mr. Yuan is going back to the village to open a school?
Miss Shen is planning to build a commercial street, and her ambition is very ambitious. If you have some spare money, buy a few more shops. With the support of the academy, your business will definitely be bigger."
Mr. Zhu said, "I have heard a little about this matter, but I haven't heard about the store. Can you tell me in detail?"
Mr. Xie was overwhelmed by Shen Nanzhi's words. He had bought the shop, but now that he was asked to talk about it, he had almost forgotten it. "I'll make an appointment with Miss Shen later. You can talk to her. I don't really understand it either. Anyway, it's a good thing."
Old Xie really failed at the critical moment. How could he forget this?
The two of them ate and drank well, and spent no more than a hundred coins, which was much cheaper than in a restaurant.
When I came out and touched my stomach, the cold wind didn't seem so cold to me, and my whole body was warm. We all thought at the same time that we should come here often to eat here in the future.
They also saw several familiar gentlemen coming to try the food, bowing to each other, and then going home.
Mr. Zhu was still thinking about Shen Nanzhi. Was that store really that good? Old Xie, the stingy guy, had already spent money to buy it, so he couldn't fall behind.
When he entered the room, he saw that his wife's rosy face was dark and angry, so he immediately asked, "Who made the wife angry?"
"Isn't she your good daughter? Are you trying to piss me off to death? She actually fell in love with a small vendor. Tell me, what's wrong with her?
It's not as good as the Jin family. After all, they are attracted to a poor scholar with a good reputation, so they can show it off."
Mr. Zhu always doted on his daughter, and subconsciously defended her: "That Jiang Xiucai is a eunuch, so he is better than him in any way, right? Don't talk about him, it's unlucky!"
Now Jiang Chen is just an unlucky guy, even mentioning him spoils the fun.
Mrs. Zhu said, "Let's not talk about him, let's talk about your daughter. I can't control her anymore. Come on, please."
"Let the young lady come over here. Is that boy trying to seduce our daughter? He is just a small vendor. I will break his legs."
Zhu Xiaomei just came in and heard it, and immediately said nervously: "No, Dad, he didn't seduce me, I fell in love with him.
He doesn't know anything yet, shouldn't I discuss this with you two elders first? If you two elders are really not satisfied, I will immediately get rid of him."
Mrs. Zhu didn't believe it: "Really? You are so sensible? Jin Xuan'er made Mrs. Jin sick, and I went to visit her. She was so pitiful. What a sin!"
Zhu Xiaomei said coquettishly: "She regretted it, didn't she? I won't do anything wrong, I will definitely be obedient, please listen to me, let's talk it over."
"alright."
Mrs. Zhu felt better. In fact, parents are more sad when they have different opinions on their daughter's marriage. They think that they have raised them in vain if she disobeys their parents for a man, which deepens the conflict.
Now that Zhu Xiaomei has chosen them, the two elders are now more rational.
Zhu Xiaomei repeated the reasons she had given Shen Nanzhi, and the two elders were actually somewhat interested. Master Zhu asked, "What does that young man do? What's his name? Father, please ask around first."
"The guy who sells spicy hotpot is called Liao Baojia. I'll treat you guys to spicy hotpot tomorrow. It's delicious."
"What? That young man, Dad just met him, he is really good."
Mrs. Zhu stepped on his foot. Even if it was a good idea, she couldn't agree to it so quickly, right?
What if it's fake?
"Have you seen it? Oh, no, this taste... did you eat it alone?"
Master Zhu felt guilty. His daughter shouldn't have the surname Zhu, but Gou. His nose was too sharp, so he smiled and said, "Seeing so many people, I'll just go over and have a bite. Hiccup..."
Mr. Zhu burped, and Mrs. Zhu also got angry: "You eat alone without me, you're going to die, come on, let's go eat now, why wait until tomorrow?"
Mr. Zhu quickly advised: "When I came, they had already sold out, otherwise I would definitely bring it to you. Am I the kind of person who eats alone?"
"You are!"
It's rare that the mother and daughter agree that they are serious about food.
Finally, Mr. Zhu promised to treat them ten times, and only then were they satisfied.
"Dad, do you sell milk tea? I want some."
"What milk tea? Hey, daughter, you still say that dad eats alone? You have delicious food, but you don't show filial piety to dad, right?"
Zhu Xiaomei quickly explained: "I just drank it at Sister Nanzhi's house. It hasn't been sold to the public yet. It's not that I don't miss you."
Master Zhu said, "Tomorrow you should send a note to Miss Shen. Dad has something to tell her. Do you have a good relationship with her?"
"Of course, Sister Nanzhi is the kindest, most generous, and most beautiful sister. Why didn't you give me such a good sister?"
Mrs. Zhu was so angry that she laughed: "You gave birth to a sister? Why don't you go to heaven!"
This daughter has such a simple and lively personality. She is worried about who she marries. It's worrying.
Maybe this boy named Liao is a good choice. He has no relatives, is all alone, but is capable. After he gets married, he won't have to take care of his parents-in-law, and the couple will be able to live a good life.
At worst, they could prepare more dowry for her, and they could open a shop. With their skills, they would never starve to death.
