The exquisite space of the ruffian concubine

Chapter 29 Can Lime Cook?
"I still don't need it." Meng Xiaoshu shook her head. She knew that this was the last thing that Mrs. Wang had left, "Uncle Zhao, you and the old lady will stay in the inn today. I won't take your money."

"Really?" Uncle Zhao was a little surprised, he clearly heard that the shopkeeper of the Lezhi Inn is a man of every detail, how could he become a magnanimous person after falling into Meng Xiaoshao's mouth?
Meng Xiaoshu nodded solemnly, and secretly laughed in his heart: Li Jincai thought he was someone who could not be offended when Duan Tai said that day, even if he brought three or five passers-by and lived here for ten and a half months, he would definitely not Dare to charge a penny.

Uncle Zhao didn't know whether it was true or not, and he still had no idea, so he quietly went downstairs to ask the shopkeeper on the pretext of having something to do.

Meng Xiaocoma shifted her gaze to Gu Zhiyuan, raised her eyebrows and said, "Didn't you agree to help Sister Zhang open a restaurant that day?"

"I have already greeted Duan Tai. There is a rice shop on the west street and a gold shop on the east street. They are about to change hands. I don't know which one to buy." Gu Zhiyuan smiled.In fact, even if Meng Xiaosu asked him to buy the whole street, he would be willing.

Mrs. Wang had seen countless people, and when she saw Gu Zhiyuan, she knew that he was a rich man. Hearing what he said, she felt more confident.Her wine-making skills were passed down from her ancestors, and no one in the village can match her skills. However, her family was poor and could not afford to open a wine shop, and she was too old to hire an old woman to make wine, so she was buried for a long time.

"Sister, are you familiar with this person?" Meng Wenqing glanced at Gu Zhiyuan and asked curiously.He has been eating very well in the past few days, his thin and pale face has gradually become more rosy, and his appearance is comparable to that of Gu Zhiyuan.Maybe it's because he was young, had a serious illness, and went through a lot of ups and downs. He looked a little timid, revealing a small family spirit.Unlike Gu Zhiyuan, his words and deeds are calm and magnanimous, making people feel very comfortable getting along with him.

Of course, except for Meng Xiaosu, she felt extremely uncomfortable when she saw this person: "I don't know him well, so you better not be too familiar with him."

Meng Wenqing suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and turned to look at Gu Zhiyuan, but he had a smile on his face, as if he was used to it.

My sister didn't seem to be like this before. Why has there been such a big change in the past few days?Meng Wenqing was secretly surprised.

"Miss Xiaosuo, why don't we choose a shop for Sister Zhang together today?" Gu Zhiyuan never took Meng Xiaosuo's slanderous words seriously. If one day, she suddenly changed her temper and stopped being cold to herself. On the contrary, he would not be able to adapt.After all, Meng Xiaocom never treats others like this, and he is a special case.In any case, it is always a good thing to be a special case, although he can't tell for a while what is so good about this matter.

"It's fine to go, do you have pork elbow?" Meng Xiaosuo swallowed.It stands to reason that the rumor that she told Li Goudan to release should have already taken effect.But today I squatted at the foot of Mengshan for most of the day, but I couldn't see any movement.As soon as he got back to the inn, he heard about Mrs. Wang again. He was anxious and focused on saving lives. It was sunset and he didn't even have a bite of dinner. He was so hungry that his chest was on his back.

"Miss hasn't eaten yet?" Gu Zhiyuan sized her up carefully, his eyebrows frowned slightly, "Your complexion is pale, it should be caused by the deficiency of qi and blood, why don't you go to Yaoyuelou to drink some black chicken soup, so that you can recuperate."

If this was said by another person, Meng Xiaosuo might be moved to the extreme, but after Gu Zhiyuan said it, she felt goosebumps all over her body for no reason.

"It just so happens that Mrs. Wang and Uncle Zhao didn't eat either. By the way, there is also my younger brother. Why don't we go to the invitation building together." She didn't want to eat alone with Gu Zhiyuan, the feeling was so weird just thinking about it.

Gu Zhiyuan nodded, unaware that he had become a victim in Meng Xiaocom's heart.

Aren't you rich?That book of thieves will make you poor, and you will hide once you see it.Someone thought to himself.

The five of them went to Yaoyue Building together. It was getting late, and there were very few people eating, most of the tables were empty.On the contrary, those who sell snacks and supper outside have a very prosperous business.

The shopkeeper of Yaoyuelou is a short, fat old man who always has a smile on his face. He has met Meng Xiaosuo and Gu Zhiyuan several times. Knowing that these two are distinguished guests, he naturally did not dare to neglect them. He was led into the private room.

"What would you like to eat? We have diced pheasant, roasted fish head, boiled white meat, mapo tofu, Dongpo elbow, watercress crucian carp..."

"Where's your menu here?" Meng Xiaosu interrupted him.

"Menu, what is a menu?" The shopkeeper was full of doubts.

After thinking about it, Meng Xiaocom suddenly understood—people in this day and age may not know what a menu is.Anyway, I don't know what year, what month, or who invented that thing, so I might as well use it for my own use.

"Why don't you write the names of the dishes one by one on the paper, and write the special dishes at the top, and when the guests come, pass them to him, and let them choose by themselves, so as not to waste a lot of time to introduce."

"That's a good idea!" The shopkeeper nodded, pondered for a while, and shook his head again, "But not every customer is literate. If you meet someone who is illiterate, it might be bad luck if you hand it over."

Meng Xiaocom also thinks about it. The reason why many things have not yet appeared and are not popular is because the time is not ripe and the world is not used to it. For example, this menu is like what she once thought of. Whichever family has an accident, it will be compensated according to the loss of that family.In fact, isn't this akin to insurance for future generations?
At that time, she was very excited and wanted to discuss with Gu Zhiyuan and spread the matter.Thinking about it later, it was very naive.Ordinary people sometimes have problems with food and clothing, so where can they find spare money for themselves?

The rich are those merchants and officials, but most of their money is not visible, and once something really happens, it is not easy to evaluate.For example, Duan Tai, who built a small private vault, if his treasury was stolen, would he tell the full extent of the loss, wouldn't it be tantamount to admitting that he is a corrupt official in disguise?
Therefore, they will probably not buy this "insurance".

When Meng Xiaosuo was in a daze, Gu Zhiyuan had already ordered four or five dishes casually, seeing that her eyebrows were still slightly frowning, thoughtful, he picked up a piece of radish skin with soy sauce and shook it on the tip of her nose with a smile.

Only then did Meng Xiaosuo come back to her senses, and slapped his hand holding the chopsticks hard: "A disciple!"

"Miss Comb, you haven't said what you want to eat?" Gu Zhiyuan wasn't angry, and with a calm expression, he put the piece of radish into his bowl.

Meng Xiaocomo thought for a while and said, "Steam the eggs with lime."

This dish is Aunt Shui's best, and she often eats it in the organization, but she has never tasted it after time travelling.Over time, I miss the familiar taste a little bit.

"Lime can be used for cooking?" The shopkeeper's face was a little confused, "Girl, girl, you are not joking with the old man, are you?"
