Chapter 158 Recognition
Although many people envy them to open a shop to earn money, but think about it carefully, the whole family earns hard money from hard work, and they get up in the middle of the night to grind beans, and they have no time to relax all day. Compared with these hard work, the money they earn It is not conspicuous, otherwise their shop and craftsmanship would have been missed by those who do not practice the law.

Although it's hard work now, at least they can feel at ease. If it's really a profiteering industry that makes people envious and salivate, then they don't know what is waiting for them.

Whenever he thinks of these things, Dong Bao is extremely looking forward to Dashi or Zhang Qian's success in the examination as soon as possible. Even if he has the title of scholar, he can deter those who have grown a few gallbladders.

"Master Wang, my mother and I are the only ones in our family who depend on each other. We don't want to make a fortune, but we just want to make a living." Dong Bao smiled, "Making tofu is hard work, earning some hard money. Anzhou is a big place. I'm afraid we mother and daughter have worked hard for a month, but in the end it's not enough to pay the rent of the shop."

Wang Cong smiled and nodded, but he didn't answer Dong Bao's words. The rental fee of the Anzhou shop is not low, but it will never be like Dong Bao said that the money he earns is not enough to pay the rent.

"If Young Master Wang likes to eat our tofu, I'll cut two catties for Young Master Wang and take it home later, but don't ride too fast on the road, otherwise the tofu will fall apart." Dong Bao laughed.

When Dong Bao sent the two of them out of the shop, it happened that the students came in to eat in twos and threes after school, so Zhou Pingshan and Master Wang Wu met directly opposite each other.

"It's you?" Zhou Pingshan couldn't help frowning.

Wang Wu just put his hands behind his back and gave him a haughty look, without even saying a word, he went straight out.

Zhou Pingshan looked at Wang Wu's back, his face was reddish, he clenched his hands into fists in his sleeves and stretched them out again. After a while, he sat down after being greeted by his classmates.

Lin Shi and Zhang Qian, who were helping to do the cooking, were not so curious after hearing what Zhang Xiuyu had said about the two princes, and because they knew Wang Cong.

After Zhou Pingshan finished his meal, he purposely stayed a few steps behind the crowd, and whispered to Dong Bao, "Why did he come to your shop?"

Dong Bao smiled and said, "The Prince Wang who came with him wanted to buy my family's tofu. As for the Fifth Prince Wang, he came here with Master Wang Cong."

"Did he say anything unpleasant to you?" Zhou Pingshan asked nervously.

Dong Bao shook his head, "It's nothing, he doesn't recognize me, and it took me a long time to realize it was him."

"That's good." Zhou Pingshan heaved a sigh of relief, his face was still slightly flushed, he glanced at Da Shi standing next to Dong Bao, said goodbye to Dong Bao with a smile, and went back to the academy.

Dashi smiled and asked, "Why is he so nervous about that little prince?"

Dong Bao laughed and said: "I don't know too well, anyway, the two of them seem to be somewhat related, and they are very difficult to deal with. Hey, I almost forgot, let's go to Anzhou on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Mr. Wang Cong said to send a car to pick us up." etc. There was no one in the store, so she told a few people how she was fired by the fifth prince.

"Hey!" Zhang Xiuyu snorted contemptuously, "Looking at the handsome young man, why is he such a person!" Zhang Xiuyu is a decent country girl, almost instinctively, she hates "Auntie", "Tong In the eyes of orthodox farmers, whoever accepts the aunt is going down the wrong path.

Dashi had other ideas, his eyes narrowed a bit, no wonder that boy Zhou Pingshan peeked at Dongbao's blushing, so there was such a nonsense.

Zhang Qian was an honest person, and immediately said: "It's a good thing to be kicked back, it's better to be at home than to be in a place like them!" Being a servant girl is not a good way out.

Several people were chattering, but Wang Cong and Wang Wu had already left Yuanshui Town and walked a long way.

Because Wang Cong immediately put a few catties of tofu, the two of them didn't dare to gallop like they did when they came here, but let the horse trot.

"Fifth Brother, why did that Miss Song offend you?" Wang Cong asked at this moment.

Wang Wu snorted through his nostrils, looked at the road in front of him without squinting, and only said: "I am doing it for your own good, and I am afraid that you will be cheated and count the money."

"How come?" Wang Cong smiled awkwardly, saying that the fifth young master of his family had the worst temper and was the hardest to serve, and he really deserved his reputation.

Wang Wu sneered, and turned his head to look at Wang Cong, "A few months ago, she came to my house to be a rough servant girl. How come she can cook so many dishes after a few months? Since she can cook Why didn't you just sell vegetable recipes and work as a maid to make money?"

Wang Cong was taken aback, and immediately asked, "Are you sure? You have so many maids, so it might not be a bad idea!" It wasn't that he didn't believe in Wang Wu, but that girl Song was only ten years old, but she didn't behave in any way. It's like being a rough servant girl.

Wang Wu didn't answer, and directly clamped the horse's belly, rode the horse and ran quickly, leaving Wang Cong far behind.In fact, he didn't remember the appearance of the maid who was dismissed by him in a moment of irritability. In his impression, the little girl was very shameless, trembling with fright, she didn't even dare to lift her head.

Still later, a poor servant girl recklessly broke into the courtyard where the masters lived. He remembered the blue coarse cloth clothes, and thought that the servant girl he sent out last time was still at home, so he was furious and called out The steward came to give a lecture, only to find out that the maid who was kicked out was called Song Dongning, she had been kicked out a long time ago, and she was not the same person.

On the way here today, he heard Wang Cong said that he was looking for a ten-year-old girl named Song Dongning, so he became suspicious, and when he went out and saw Zhou Pingshan, he was completely sure of his guess.

The boiled fish that he likes to eat is actually made by a rough envoy who was kicked out by him.

However, no matter how he targeted or provoked unreasonably, Song Dongning always had a smile on his face, as if in her eyes, he was just an unreasonable naughty boy, so don't take it to heart, which made him even more angry .

Hearing that Dong Bao was going to Anzhou on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Mrs. Li was happy but also worried for Dong Bao.When she was sleeping at night, Mrs. Li asked Dongbao, "Bao'er, what kind of dishes are you going to cook for Mr. Wang? Do you...have any good dishes to sell to others?"

Dong Bao thought for a while, and said with a smile: "I've been thinking about a few dishes these days, and when the time comes, I'll see what ingredients they have over there, and I'll make them whatever suits me."

Seeing that she was confident in what she said, Mrs. Li couldn't say anything more, so she put her arms around her and persuaded: "It's okay if it doesn't work, don't think too much about hurting your body. If it weren't for you, our family wouldn't be able to live such a good life." , you are my mother's lucky star... You have earned us a shop, relying on this shop, our mothers can eat and drink without worrying about it, and the extra money is nothing." She naturally believed in her daughter's craftsmanship. He puts a lot of thought into cooking, but the prince is a nobleman, and the dishes that the country people think are good may not be taken seriously by others.

Dong Bao leaned into Li's arms and smiled, nodded and said: "I know, don't force yourself."

A gentleman loves money and obtains it in the right way. If there is such an opportunity to earn hidden money, she will try her best to seize it.Although the family now has food, drink and income, Mrs. Li still works very hard every day. All their property is just this shop, which is still far from her goal of being a landlord.

The next step is to save money. She wants to buy land and build a manor of her own. This is not an easy task. Dong Bao decides to spend five or even ten years to realize her dream.

In the Song family, since Song Bai left last time, the Song family has returned to its original life, because Uncle Song’s violent rebellion, saying, "If parents are determined to sell the land, I will take a sickle to the field and cut their necks. Let's see who dares to buy it! Tell everyone to see it, you are biased, and you want to force your children and grandchildren to death!"

In addition, old man Song also did not agree to sell the land, so Huang had no choice but to withdraw this idea for the time being.

In the past few days, apart from Second Aunt Song making a fuss a few times because she thought the food was too bad, there was no other disturbance.

Miss Huang was concerned about her beloved youngest son, and said to old man Song several times, "I shouldn't have agreed to let him buy shares and do business that day! San'er is studying at a critical time. If you get distracted, all the hard work ahead will be in vain. Hey, I was also temporarily obsessed with ghosts, and the boss will suffer from this..."

Seeing that Mrs. Huang was still going on and on, old man Song raised the cigarette in his hand and said, "He only has the money on him. If he loses, he can relax and study."

Old man Song believes that Song Bai is no longer focused on studying at this stage, and he stumbled in the business field, so he knows that doing business is not an easy task, and even if he has no money, there are white noodles he sent over, and Mrs. Li opened a restaurant in the town, so he couldn't go hungry.

Mrs. Huang spat and said bitterly, "Isn't he your own son? Why are you so cruel!" Before she could swear a few more words, she heard someone shouting outside: "Is this Song Bai's house? ?”

"Yes!" Mrs. Huang hurriedly responded, patted the lapel of her clothes and went out. When she went out, she saw seven or eight young men standing in the yard, all of whom seemed to be foolish and not like good people.

"What are you looking for with my son?" Seeing this posture, Huang felt a little timid psychologically. Her fierceness could only be exerted on people who were weaker than her, such as Li Shi.

At this moment, old man Song also came out, standing behind Huang, and Song Yu originally wanted to come out, but was held back by Second Aunt Song.

The leading man was wearing a cotton shirt, with his arms open, shaking a thin piece of paper in his hand, and smiled maliciously, "Old lady, Song Bai owes us money, and we can't pay it back when it's due, do you think so?" Did you pay him back?"

Mrs. Huang became dizzy, and old man Song hurriedly said, "My son eats and spends money in the academy, why would he borrow your money?"

"Hey, old man!" said the man, "I don't know about this. When your son asked us to borrow usury money, he only said that it was for trading and stock investment, and he would pay it back in seven days. Now that he hasn't come out, you can take it for him. Pay it back!"

Hearing the word usury, Mrs. Huang fainted directly.
