Chapter 555
Xue Zhen also made a sudden difference, and took a look.

The portrait is of a child in slit pants with dull eyes and a big slug.

There is a simple and honest look of ignorance between the eyebrows.

Xue Zhen looked at the portrait and looked at the little master: "This... really looks silly at first glance, but Miss Ning is paying attention."

"Think about it, is this portrait useful?" Ah Jiu reminded him.

"Then how long are you going to lie to?" Xue Zhen put it in his arms, this portrait can really play a soothing role.

"Whatever, it's better than you always hiding." Ah Jiu waited for Xue Zhen's words with a stick in his arms.

"Well, that's good." Xue Zhen stood up and said goodbye.

"Hey..." Ah Jiu sighed, being a royal woman is the envy of many women in the world, but who would know that accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger, neither can be as successful as the Meng family, but also can't be useless, it is really difficult.

Thinking of this, Ah Jiu felt that he was the luckiest person in the world.

In the early morning, Cai Lihua happily knocked on the door:
"Girl, hurry up, go for a walk on the street with mother, mother has a bold idea."

"What idea!" Ah Jiu was dragged out of the General's Mansion by Cai Lihua before she finished speaking.

Meng Shaode was already waiting at the door with his own horse, and Ah Jiu was pushed into the carriage by his mother, and he greeted happily:

"Shaode, let's go to West Street."

"What are you doing, mother?" Ah Jiu looked puzzled when she saw her happily picking up a basket of gold.

"You'll know when you get there." Cai Lihua bought it off.

Ah Jiu opened the sedan chair curtain and looked out. She had never been stationed in the General's Mansion. To be honest, Menghua City was very big, and she hadn't been to West Street to take a good look.

In addition, when Ah Jiu left the next time, Ma Xing Street on East Street was also very deserted, not to mention West Street. In the era of scarcity of supplies, West Street's main tea restaurant was even more desolate.

Looking outside at this moment, there are many out-of-towners coming and going, and some are looking around the house with their burdens on their backs.

Regardless of whether they are settled in or renting a storefront to do business, according to Mrs. Xue's intention, the rent will be exempted for three months. In this way, after three months, no matter if it is a farmer or a merchant, it can be directly registered and put under the collective management of the household registration.

"Look, girl!" Cai Lihua pointed to a two-story stilted building on West Street, where the plaque with the words "Delicious Restaurant" hung crookedly on the porch.

"Your mother, I plan to open a restaurant." Cai Lihua pulled Ah Jiu out of the carriage as soon as she said this.

"Opening a restaurant? Mom, although the storefront doesn't cost money, all the utensils do."

Ah Jiu was pulled in, and took a look at the broken tables and chairs scattered all over the floor: "Don't you have to buy all these things?"

"If you have money, you don't need money." Cai Lihua mysteriously walked up the wooden stairs covered with cobwebs to the second floor, as happy as a bird fleeing.

Meng Shaode coughed twice and followed in with his hands behind his back:
"Your mother, I thought about it and laughed all night last night, so that your father and I would have to be pinched if we didn't laugh along."

Ah Jiu cast a consoling look: "Then you can't let mother make such a big decision suddenly. Opening a snack shop can still be discussed, but isn't it too scary to open such a big restaurant all at once?"

Meng Shaode rubbed his arms and waved his hands: "No, it's not that you don't know that your mother loves money. A while ago, many merchants came. Didn't some people go to the military grain depot to buy food in exchange for supplies? All the money went to your mother. pocket."

When Ah Jiu heard this, her face turned green:
"Ah? Those are military rations, so they won't be sold out by mother, what about the rations of the frontline soldiers?"

Meng Shaode sniffed and said with aggrieved and helpless expression: "It's still enough for our family to eat until the Chinese New Year."

Ah Jiu seemed to be hit by five thunders, muttering in his heart-why didn't Ma Peng tell me?It is recorded in the ledger that it was sold to the common people.

But again, it doesn't matter who received the money, and there is no way to directly mark who sold it.

"Come up and have a look, the environment here is quite good." Cai Lihua on the second floor waved her arms.

The father and daughter went up to the second floor helplessly.

Cai Lihua instantly turned on the machine gun mode: "Jiu'er, look, the row of seats by the window here can directly see half of Menghua City, the antique market on the left, and that... Yanming Lake, although there is no water now , if it rains heavily in the future, it will naturally be an excellent scenery."

Ah Jiu didn't want to disturb her mother's interest at the moment, so she stretched her head to look in the direction her mother pointed:

"Mother, the private seats on the second floor are really good, but don't you have to go to other cities to buy the utensils needed for these restaurants? What's more, mother, you can't do it alone, do you still need to hire a few cooks? "

Cai Lihua has already planned everything: "These mothers have done the calculations and inquired about it. If it doesn't work, your father and I will go to the capital city and get everything ready."

Ah Jiu's eyes froze on Hualan Lane for an instant, and there was a figure that was very familiar to him.

Behind her hands, her legs are as thin as straw. She is obviously an old woman, but she is walking in a figure of eight steps, walking out steps that her relatives do not recognize.
