Yoshida Mii

Chapter 149
After a few people came in, they found an empty table and sat down, yelling at the boss to serve bean curd. Li Hongqin hurried over from the door and said with a smile, "Young masters, what do you want to eat? Our store has signature bean curd, soy milk eight-treasure porridge, and There are meat dumplings, steamed buns and fried sticks."

Li Hongqin didn't go to Song's house much, she didn't recognize Song Bai who was away all the year round, and Song Bai naturally didn't recognize her either.

Among them, the person who had eaten before ordered: "First, five bowls of bean curd, and then twenty buns!"

Li Hongqin smiled and said: "Okay, you guys wait a moment." After finishing speaking, she called Fufa's sister-in-law to bring twenty buns from the stove first, and she went to the big pot at the door to serve a few people. Douhua.

As soon as the tofu curds and steamed buns were served, several people started eating. It was the first time for Song Bai to come to this store. Seeing the crowds of customers in the store, he was speechless secretly, lamenting that the business of this store is really booming. How much!

At this moment, Dong Bao entered the room with the money box in his arms. A table of guests had finished eating, so he invited her to come in and pay the bill. Dong Bao made a mental calculation and smiled at the guests: "Uncle, your table is worth 27 coins."

Hearing the familiar voice, Song Bai raised his head and saw Dong Bao standing at the table behind him, and couldn't help shouting in surprise, "Dong Bao?!"

Dong Bao heard the sound and looked, and then saw Song Bai, "Third Uncle." Dong Bao called out not very enthusiastically.

Song Bai glanced at the money box Dongbao was holding in his hand, then looked up and looked around. This Baoji tofu store is not small, with bright and clean windows, and a constant flow of customers.In his eyes, his sister-in-law and niece are just setting up a stall on the street, selling unappetizing food. After hearing about it, his only thought is to lose face, for fear of bumping into each other on the street, and let his friends know that he has a stall He was ashamed of his sister-in-law and niece, but he never expected that they had already opened such a grand and prosperous shop!

"Here, is this the shop you opened?" Song Bai asked in disbelief.

Before Dong Bao could say anything, several men who came with Song Bai shouted one after another: "Song Bai, you are not mean enough!"

"That's right, you cry about being poor all day long, saying that you have no money, but your family has such a profitable shop, and my brothers will count you as rich!"

"Why don't you pretend you don't know! Song Bai, my brothers think highly of you, you can't let us down!"

"Hey, this is really flooding the Dragon King Temple, and I ate at my own family's house, so I can save money for the meal today!"

As soon as the last sentence came out, several people immediately echoed, "Yes, you need to pay for meals in your own restaurant? There is no such rule!"

Song Bai didn't want to lose face in front of his friends, so he took a look at Dong Bao, and immediately laughed loudly: "You can't ask for money from anyone, but you can't ask my brothers for money! Today, my younger brother is the host, and I invite my brothers to dinner !"

While talking, he winked at Dongbao.

However, even if he begged Dong Bao to waive the order, Song Bai's eyes were not pleading, but commanding from above, as if he was the boss.

Dong Bao couldn't help becoming furious, his fair face flushed red, what kind of bullshit is Song Bai doing, he's very good at taking the widow's niece's things as favors!

Mrs. Li heard the noise in the shop, so she hurried over, and after listening to a few words, she also guessed what happened, so she quickly grabbed Dong Bao who was about to lose her temper, and said in a low voice, "Forget it, it's only a few minutes." Ten dollars, don't quarrel with him."

Song Bai didn't do it properly, but my brother-in-law asked friends to eat a few bowls of bean curd for money, and it made everyone feel uncomfortable when they quarreled.

The few people were full, and under the compliments of everyone, Song Bai walked away arrogantly, without even saying hello to Dong Bao and Li Shi. Before leaving, Song Bai glanced at Dong Bao and Li with his hands behind his back. Shi, seems to be very satisfied that Dong Bao and Li Shi are so "knowledgeable" and saved his face, but Dong Bao is very angry.

"Mother, look what he looks like!" Dong Bao said angrily, "What time is it now, he is not studying in the academy, he came here to follow some...Look at those people, they don't look like serious people!" The ones with Bo, by the look of their clothes, are the gangsters of the town.

She can still accept tofu and bean sprouts for old man Song and Mrs. Huang. After all, they are the biological parents of Xiucai's father, and their filial piety is beyond heaven, but what is Song Bai!

Mrs. Li sighed, and said helplessly: "Bao'er, no matter how bad he is, he is also your third uncle, your father's brother!" After earning dozens of dollars, no one will be distressed.

Lotus, who was carrying a big wooden bucket to clean up the dishes, echoed: "Dongbao, your mother is right, he will be shameless, if we insist on asking him for it, quarrel with him, spread the word, and people will say that your third uncle is not good." Sensible, I have to say that Mrs. Xiucai, who is a sister-in-law, is so mean that she won't let my uncle eat a meal! Let him eat for free today, and we will take advantage of it. In the future, he will want to take advantage of it for nothing and lead others to eat for free. Drink, it makes no sense."

No matter how angry Dong Bao was, she could only grit her teeth and bear it. Everyone had already left, so she couldn't drive her to the academy to ask Song Bai for money.Besides, she doesn't live alone in this world, she is Song Dongning, a small village girl in Tagouji, and Song Bai is her third uncle, which is an inseparable blood relationship.

As He Hua said, the first time he refused to give money, no one could do anything about him.

A new variety was added today. More than 100 steamed buns filled with tofu vermicelli were sold, and a lot of deep-fried dough sticks were also sold. When the students came to eat at noon, they saw that there were steamed buns and deep-fried dough sticks left, and ordered them one after another. Want to try something new.

Even Xiao Xu, Lord Yan took him to breakfast in the morning, ate a steamed bun stuffed with tofu vermicelli, and even ate two steamed buns stuffed with tofu vermicelli at noon, and asked to eat it. , coaxed him for a long time, coaxed him to drink a bowl of soy milk, and come to eat buns tomorrow.

A few people thought that the fritters and steamed stuffed buns would be left over, and Mrs. Li planned to distribute them to Qiuxia and the others, but they didn't expect to sell them all in the end.

Aunt Qiuxia saw Dashi at noon. Dashi didn't know that his mother had also come to help. He and Zhang Qian entered the shop and went to the backyard to wash their hands and prepared to help. At this time, he saw his mother in the kitchen.

"Mom, why are you here?" Da Shi asked in surprise.

Aunt Qiuxia smiled and said, "I'll help you Aunt Li, go eat quickly, as long as there is a mother here who is busy."

Dashi refused, and insisted on helping Aunt Qiuxia carry a large pot of vegetables to the shop to help serve them.

"If I do more, you and Aunt Li will be able to relax a bit!" Dashi said to Aunt Qiuxia.

Fufa's daughter-in-law saw what Song Bai did this morning, and saw Dashi's performance at noon. She couldn't help feeling emotional, pulled Qiuxia and whispered: "You gave birth to a good son! The old Song's next door to you Yao'er, it can't beat a finger of your Dashi!"

Aunt Qiuxia smiled modestly, she was so beautiful in her heart, she patted Fufa's daughter-in-law's hand, "Your two sons are also good-looking!" She felt more and more that it was a good thing to kill three birds with one stone. Shi and Dongbao earned money to subsidize the family, and they can see their beloved eldest son every day, how wonderful!
After finishing the work at noon, Da Shi and Zhang Qian went back to the academy after eating, and Dong Bao started the happiest time of the day - counting money!
A new variety has been added today, without counting, Dongbao knows that today's turnover is far greater than yesterday's. She, Li Shi, and Zhang Xiuyu are still following the old method of stringing a hundred coins into a string. There are four thousand nine hundred and eighty-six coins today.

"The business is getting better and better!" Zhang Xiuyu smiled happily.

Dong Bao said a little depressed: "If you add my third uncle's free table, it will be five thousand!"

"That's right! I'm still a scholar! How shameless!" Zhang Xiuyu said contemptuously. As a person of the same age, Zhang Xiuyu had the same thoughts as Dong Bao, and she couldn't rub the sand in her eyes. It's outrageous for people to come and eat and drink the widow's sister-in-law's stuff for nothing! "Master Yan is the biggest official in Yuanshui. He brings Xiao Xu to eat in the restaurant every day. Every time he pays him a penny, but he doesn't want to accept their money!"

Dong Bao glanced narrowly at Zhang Xiuyu, imitating Zhang Xiuyu's tone and said: "Master Liang is the most handsome official in Yuanshui, and he brings his colleagues to the store every day for dinner, and every time he gives a lot of money. If they don’t take their money, they still don’t want to!”

Zhang Xiuyu flushed with embarrassment, pinched Dongbao's face lightly, and cursed: "Stinky Dongbao! It's getting worse and worse!"

Because Aunt Qiuxia and the others came to help on the first day, in order to increase their enthusiasm for work, Dongbao decided to give them a day's wages today. He Hua and Fufa's daughter-in-law each received [-] Wen, and the two received a heavy [-] Wen. , I'm so happy that I don't know what to say.And because Guizhi came to help make tofu in the morning, he had an extra ten Wen, which was thirty Wen.

After Guizhi and the others finished collecting their wages and left, Dongbao gave money to Aunt Qiuxia, who was fifty Wen.

"This won't work." Aunt Qiuxia seriously pushed the money back to Dongbao, "I'm steaming buns and frying deep-fried dough sticks in the kitchen. I don't get tired of the work, so how can I get so much money? Spread the word, those three workers Why don't I have any complaints against you? I think I should just get the same money as them, twenty dollars is a lot!"

Dong Bao smiled and pushed the money back, "Not only this morning, but I have to ask my aunt to help me make tofu this afternoon."

Several members of Mrs. Li persuaded for a long time before Qiuxia agreed to accept the money. After returning home, she went to the vegetable garden at home to pick up the best vegetables, picked a basket full, and sent the whole son to Dongbao's home. .

The next day, the shop was still full, and many country people saw that there was no vacancy in the room, so they all squatted on the porch outside with their bowls to eat, which made Mrs. Li feel very sorry, and everyone gave more food. Half a spoonful of bean curd.

By mid-noon, there were finally fewer customers, but Dong Bao didn't expect that the few men who came to eat plain rice yesterday would come to the door carelessly at this moment.
