Chapter 1185

Coincidentally, the family Wu Xiaoju married was also at Hedu Wharf.

It was an old widower, in his forties, who had died of his wife, and ran a small blacksmith's shop.

It can be considered that Wu Xiaoju's life should not die.

Although the old widower was old and had two children, he was a good-natured man, and an honest man.

The matchmaker told about Wu Xiaoju's situation, and the Wu family didn't want any betrothal gifts, and his family's conditions were also poor, so they were just looking for a wife to live with, and there was nothing to choose.

That's it, the marriage is done.

But the more Wu Xiaoju thought about it, the more sad she became, and the more sad she became, the more she hated, but she didn't know who to hate, so she felt suffocated and depressed.

Pei Yan and his men happened to be going to the Hedu Wharf too. They walked quickly, leaving the sedan chair behind in a short while.

The business of Fang's restaurant is on track. It can't be said how hot it is, but it won't be deserted.

It's really going to be hot, and I'm afraid they won't be too busy.

After Bao Er came with Wang Hanqiu, Fang Shiyi began to hand over the work on the stove to them, and with the addition of Niu Dahai, he could handle it completely.

She often goes to the mountains, often in the morning, and by the time the sun rises, she has already returned with her prey on her back.

Because of the busy business, the three of them can no longer come back to run around.

Fang Shiyi asked them to sleep in the store, put together a few tables and put quilts on it.

It was quite cold, so Fang Shiyi bought a few old quilts from the pawnshop. Fortunately, they were young men with full firepower, and the weather was getting warmer, so they could make do with it.

Every time they saw the prey that Fang Shiyi carried back, the three of them were stunned.

It turned out that Fang Shiyi had transformed to another level before he knew it, and he was not at the same level as them at all.

Early this morning, two cargoes were unloaded on the wharf. The coolies worked all morning, and when the cargoes were unloaded, they all gathered in front of Fang Shiyi's shop and sat down.

In the past, they didn't dare to think about such a resting place, for fear of affecting other people's business, wouldn't they be disgusting?

At first they were embarrassed to gather at Fang Shiyi's side, but this little girl was very loyal and gave them a place to rest alone.

Just beside the original canopy, another place that can shelter from wind and rain was built, and a few tables were set up, the edges were covered with straw curtains, and when the two sides were combined, the space in front of her door was doubled in size.

Fang Shishi was not stingy with hot water, he didn't add tea leaves, it was just boiled water, warmed on the stove, they could pour water by themselves whenever they wanted to drink.

In the past, if they didn't spend money to buy them, they could only drink water from the river, and they couldn't even get well water.

Fang Shishi felt that it was not clean, everyone was poor and poor, and it was not a big deal to do a little effort.

But her small favors, in the eyes of the coolies, turned out to be great kindness.

And with these people sitting in the formation, even if some people are not convinced, they dare not speak up.

Bao Er poked his head and glanced at the people sitting outside, frowning so hard that a fly could be killed.

He ran back to the backyard and murmured dissatisfiedly in front of Fang Shiyi: "I really don't understand what you're trying to do, you haven't seen them go too far, and they still lie there to sleep. Those who pass by are far away, how will the business be done in the future?"

Fang Shiyi was playing with Rhubarb, and when he heard his complaint, his eyes didn't change, "They have a sense of proportion, and they are covered by Wang Pingsheng, so it won't affect our business. Besides, it's not time for dinner, we don't want to Selling tea, what are you in a hurry for?"

Bao Er sat down on the ground discouraged, "But I just don't understand, what are you trying to do, pity them? Or do you want to show mercy? Even if it rains, it's okay to give them shelter and drink water. Isn’t it enough? Why do you have to recruit people to the store, our place is not a shantang!”

Fang Shiyi looked up at him, his eyes flickered, and his tone suddenly sank a bit, "Bao Er, you can't forget your roots, and you too, don't forget how you got here in the first place. Don't always worry about these little things, children like us who have no roots and no leaves, no father and no mother, must have their own roots and leaves, otherwise how can they grow into big trees!"

Wang Hanqiu was holding a book, squatting under the eaves of the verandah, leaning his back against the wall, "Eleventh is right, those who mess around on the docks are the most moral, you don't understand this, and don't underestimate this Wang Pingsheng, he He has his own way, not a simple role!"

Niu Dahai also dragged a small stool over to listen to what they had to say. He listened more and interrupted less.

Bao Er scratched his head, a little irritable, "It's not that I haven't been in the rivers and lakes, I understand what you said, the dock belongs to the Cao Gang, but all transactions on the river have to be approved by the Cao Gang, and they have to pay protection fees Well, the Cao Gang took their money and naturally kept them safe, Wang Pingsheng must be a member of the Cao Gang, but at most he is a young man."

Fang Shixi was still unhurried, with a calm face, "Even if you are a small guy, you still have to open the door to the Cao Gang. You can leave this matter alone. We can't reach the government for the time being, but the roads on the rivers and lakes must be opened up." .”

"Hey! I heard that we are going to have a new county magistrate here. The previous one, whose term of office is up, has to be transferred. I don't know what kind of official the new one is." Bao Eryi said excitedly.

Niu Dahai snorted, "Since ancient times, official characters have two mouths. When they fill up these two mouths, they are willing to leave. There is nothing new, as long as we don't cause trouble."

Fang Shixi was silent, she knew very well in her heart that sometimes troubles are not found, but bumped into.

When it was almost noon, the shop was busy again.

Fang Qi arranged the little girl to play in the yard, and ran to the front to help.

Two large ships came this morning, and after a whole morning of unloading, Wang Pingsheng's tired clothes were drenched with sweat.

A person ran over, "Eleventh, our boss said that a friend came over today and asked you to prepare a big lunch, and prepare a pot of wine. I want the flower carvings made in your shop, do you hear me clearly?"

Fang Shishi came out of the store, "I heard that, tell Boss Wang that the rabbit meat is roasted at noon, and it will be kept for wine and dinner!"

The man opened his mouth and laughed, and his saliva was about to flow down, "That's kind, who doesn't know that your braised rabbit meat is a must."

When the man left, Bao Er looked at Fang Shiyi, "The guest invited by Boss Wang must be someone with a background. Eleven, in addition to rabbit meat, let's not cook a fish!"

Fang Shiyi squinted, looked at the pier in the distance, and shook his head, "Make rabbit meat hot pot, get more side dishes, the weather hasn't warmed up yet, the fish will be cold after a while, which is not good , at his table, I'll be in charge!"

If she read correctly, the carriage just now should belong to the Four Seas Escort Bureau, and a flag was planted in front of the carriage.
