farm concubine

Chapter 56
Before noon, Li Rulin and his wife came back.

"Father, mother, are you back?" Lin Shuirou led the way into the courtyard gate, but his expression was very bad.Li Wanqing, who didn't even look at the question, went directly into the thatched shed, and Li Rulin, who came in later, looked better.

Looking at the swaying curtain, Li Wanqing asked Li Rulin puzzled: "Father, what happened to my mother?"

Didn't they go to visit relatives?She was fine when she went out in the morning. Could it be that her grandmother showed her face?Thinking of Mrs. Ma's attitude every time he came to their house, the more Li Wanqing thought about it, the more likely it was.

"Could it be grandma and the others..." Li Wanqing didn't say clearly what happened next, and it's hard to say, after all, as a junior, it's hard for her to criticize her elders.

"Ah—" Li Rulin sighed helplessly, then shook his head feebly.Without saying anything, he passed Li Wanqing and was inside the thatched shed.

Looking at the thatched shed door that was covered again, Li Wanqing stared at it for a long time, but in the end she just shrugged her shoulders with her hands spread out. She didn't know the grievances between Li Rulin and Ma Shi, and it was all between their adults. She is a little brat and it has nothing to do with making money.

Neither of Li Rulin and his wife mentioned what happened in Linjiazhuang, but from the expressions of the two of them, it could be clearly felt that it must be something unpleasant.

Li Wanqing felt that this was a matter of their previous generation, and it was not easy for her as a junior to ask behind the elders' buttocks. Li Muchen was still relatively young. After a morning's work, when he was growing up again, he was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and he only cared about eating, so he didn't care whether his parents were happy or not.

On the third morning when Li Rulin and his wife came back from visiting relatives, Ji Fang drove a carriage to pick up Li Wanqing to the city, saying that the hot pot restaurant was almost ready, and wanted to pick her up to see if there was anything else that needed to be prepared?
Hearing that Ji Fang said that he would take Li Wanqing into the city, Li Rulin immediately became nervous. Last time they went to the city, they offended a rich man. Today, Ji Fang is going to take Li Wanqing into the city. What if the prefect met him? manage?
"Does Shopkeeper Ji have to go to the city?"

"Well, because there are more people in the city, so the master opened the hot pot restaurant in the city."

"Didn't you say it opened next door to Huayuanju?" Li Wanqing was also puzzled. Before, Ouyang Yuanhao was talking about the shop next door to Huayuanju. Why did he go to the city again now?

"The master said that Lianhua Town is a small place, and there are not as many people in the city, so it was changed to the city again."

"Why?" Li Wanqing didn't really want to go to the city: "Where is your son?"

"Master has returned to Beijing." Ji Fang said with a smile.

"Back to Beijing?" Li Wanqing asked in surprise, this hotpot restaurant is like Mao Jing.

"Ah."

Li Wanqing was speechless, moving back and forth in the courtyard, there was enough time for a cup of tea, Ji Fang was not in a hurry, the master had already said before returning to Beijing, that if the hot pot restaurant opened in the city instead, Li Wanqing would feel uncomfortable and asked him to Be patient.

The fact that has already been done cannot be changed. In the end, Li Wanqing had to accept the fact that the hot pot restaurant opened in the city. Although it is far away from home, it is inconvenient, but Ouyang Yuanhao has already selected all the restaurants, and it is useless for her to object What's more, Ouyang Yuanhao is the biggest boss, her objection won't work in Ouyang Yuanhao's eyes.It's better to accept it calmly.

"Let's go." Although helpless, after accepting the facts, Li Wanqing calmed down a lot. Don't fight with anyone, and don't fight with Qian. Fighting with Qian is something an idiot would do.

"Qing'er, dad is going too, wait a moment, dad will tell your mother." Seeing Li Wanqing climbed into the carriage, Li Rulin hurriedly shouted, and before Li Wanqing could answer, he had already run into the thatched shed, and simply talked to his wife. Said: "Qing'er and I will go to the city to discuss things, and we won't come back for dinner at noon." Then he left in a hurry.

On the way to the capital, Li Rulin was still worried that he would meet the rich man from last time.

"Father, with Big Brother Ji here this time, we probably won't meet. Besides, your daughter and I are not very beautiful, maybe people have forgotten about it long ago, let's not scare ourselves." Li Wanqing comforted Li Rulin.

"But..." Li Rulin had just opened his mouth when Li Wanqing cut him off.

"Father, in your eyes, your daughter may be a great beauty, but in the eyes of others, I may not be." When Li Wanqing said that she was a great beauty, Li Wanqing didn't blush and her heart skipped a beat.

In fact, Li Rulin's thoughts were really taken into account by Li Wanqing. In his eyes, his daughter is indeed a rare beauty, because Li Wanqing looks so much like Lin Shuirou, and in his eyes, his daughter-in-law is The most beautiful woman in this world.

"Father, don't worry. Let's come back after seeing the store. If we don't go shopping, we won't be able to meet him. Maybe I'm standing in front of that dude now, and no one will recognize me." Li Wanqing blinked playfully. .

After being teased by Li Wanqing, Li Rulin felt a lot more relaxed, and said with a smile, "Okay, Dad, don't worry about that."

After comforting her father, Li Wanqing raised the curtain and asked Ji Fang who was sitting beside the groom: "Brother Ji, how many charcoal-burning stoves have you prepared?"

"Young master said to prepare [-] first, and then add more when the business is good."

Thirty, that is to say, thirty seats can be opened at the same time?Well, not bad.

"Brother Ji, I've already thought about the recipes and pot bases in the store. I'll tell you later. You can write them down and see how to set the price."

"it is good."

While talking and joking, the carriage entered Guizhou City. It was the time of day, and when there were many people, the carriage moved slowly on the road.

When Li Rulin and his daughter got out of the car, they realized that the hot pot restaurant was opposite the Jinxiu Zhai they entered last time, and the Jinxiu Zhai was full of guests at this time.

Ji Fang led Li Wanqing's father and daughter into the hot pot restaurant. The hot pot restaurant is a small two-story building. Once you enter the door, there is a counter on the left hand side. After passing the counter, you will go directly to the stairs on the second floor, and the lobby is on the right hand side. There were twenty small round tables one meter square with a small round hole in the middle. These tables were all made according to Li Wanqing's instructions.

On the second floor, there are ten neat and elegant private rooms. Each private room is also equipped with the same small round table as in the lobby, but the private room is also planted with bonsai such as evergreens.

After seeing the storefront, several people came to the kitchen again, looked at the prepared dishes, and saw that they were all prepared according to her requirements, Li Wanqing didn't say anything else, Li Rulin didn't know anything about hot pot restaurants, and just stayed with her.

"Brother Ji, did Mr. Ouyang say when it will open?" Li Wanqing asked the opening time of the hotpot restaurant when she came out of the kitchen.

"It's hard to say, the dishes of this hot pot restaurant haven't come out yet, and after they come out, I have to give the chef time to practice." Ji Fang shook his head.

"Hehe, the most important thing in a hot pot restaurant is the bottom of the pot. As long as the bottom of the pot is good, you can talk about anything." Li Wanqing smiled lightly: "Brother Ji Fang, if there is a study here, I will tell you the recipe and the bottom of the pot first."

Finally hearing what he wanted to hear, Ji Fang couldn't help being happy, and immediately brought Li Wanqing and his daughter to the counter, and took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the drawer of the counter.

"By the way, Brother Ji, have you chosen the name of the hot pot restaurant?" Li Wanqing asked suddenly.

"Master has already thought about it. The Jinxiu Zhai on the opposite side is also the property of the master. The master said it is called Jinxiu Hot Pot Restaurant."

Li Wanqing went to Jinxiu Zhai once. Although she didn't eat there, she had seen the menu and knew that it was a high-end restaurant, a place where rich people come and go. The name doesn't fit.

"Brother Ji, can you change the name of this store?"
