Chapter 60

Ji Fang directly sent the father and daughter to the door of the house, and discussed with Li Wanqing to set the date of opening on November [-], that is, ten days later, and then he would send a carriage to pick her up.

On the same day, Li Rulin told Lin Shuirou about the shopkeeper Wang's intention to get married, and also said that Li Wanqing had a two-part bonus from the hot pot restaurant, so when asking Li Wanqing to propose a marriage, be careful, and then make a decision.

Lin Shuirou agreed, and Li Rulin said that he wanted to bring Linjiazhuang to make money, and asked Lin Shuirou whether to go directly to Mrs. Ma, or to take the village chief to the village head of Linjiazhuang?

Lin Shuirou asked Li Rulin to take Li Changcai directly to the village head of Linjiazhuang to discuss it. Since it belongs to the whole village, sooner or later it will be Ma's turn.

The next day, Li Rulin and Li Wanqing first went to Li Changcai's house and said that they would supply chicken and other ingredients to Yipinguo in the city.

After discussing about Xiaoqing Village, Li Rulin said that his village might not be enough, and wanted to collect the Linjiazhuang as well, so that the village chief of Linjiazhuang would buy it first, register it, and then send it to their village. Li Rulin Father and daughter sent Yipinguo.

"But the Lin Family Village is ten miles away from our village, are they willing to send it here?" Li Changcai asked worriedly.

Li Wanqing laughed loudly: "Grandpa the village chief, if you have money to earn, let alone a ten-mile city, I will give it away even if it is a hundred miles."

As long as there is money to be made, she doesn't believe that no one from Linjiazhuang will send it over.

"Young girl Qing is right. If they don't want to earn this money, let's find another village." Li Changcai also laughed.

Several people discussed that after lunch, they drove the ox cart to Linjiazhuang, and discussed with the village head of Linjiazhuang.

Li Rulin and Li Changcai drove the ox cart to Linjiazhuang, and they didn't come back until it was dark.

"Is everything settled?" Lin Shuirou asked during dinner at night.

Their new house has been built, and they are now plastering the walls and floors. After smoothing the walls and floors and drying them, they can live in them.

Because the decoration workers were busy with the hot pot restaurant at home, they only paid more wages, and did not include fire food, so Lin Shuirou was much more relaxed. He only needed to prepare the lo mei and distribute it to the villagers who came to buy. .

"It's all settled, it's just that your mother doesn't want to." Thinking of Mrs. Ma's disturbance during the day, Li Rulin felt a headache.

"Don't pay attention to her, as long as the village chief agrees." Lin Shuirou is very clear about the virtues of her own mother.

"En." Li Rulin responded softly.

Hearing that Mrs. Ma was making a fuss again, Li Wanqing's eyes flickered, she didn't say anything, she just lowered her head to eat.

The next morning, Mrs. Ma came over with Lin Dalang and Mrs. Ma. Lin Dalang and Mrs. Ma came to buy goods and returned, and Mrs. Ma came to Xingshi to ask the teacher.

"You white-eyed wolf, thanks to the fact that I have raised you for more than ten years, I only think of outsiders." As soon as he entered the door, he scolded Lin Shuirou who was busy loading goods for the villagers who came to buy goods.

Lin Shuirou only raised her eyelids and continued to work.

"Grandma, I asked my father to do this method, why are you scolding my mother?" Li Wanqing crossed her arms and said amusedly.

"You, you little white-eyed wolf." Madam Ma turned to point at Li Wanqing and cursed.

"Grandma, I haven't had a sip of water from the Lin family since I was born. How can you call me a white-eyed wolf? Besides, my mother was born to you. If you call me a white-eyed wolf, you are scolding my mother." , you called my mother a white-eyed wolf, aren't you also scolding yourself?" Li Wanqing seemed to be making tongue twisters, making Ma Shi dizzy, but she understood the last sentence, and she was scolded by her granddaughter.

"You, how did your mother teach you?"

"How my mother taught me, don't worry about grandma, at least my mother didn't teach me to be a shrew."

As soon as Li Wanqing finished speaking, the people who came to buy the goods covered their mouths and laughed.

Seeing Mrs. Ma being treated like a monkey, Lin Dalang tugged at the corner of Mrs. Ma's clothes: "Mother, please don't say a few words."

"That's right, mother, it's very good that my sister can let us come to buy goods and sell them back." On the surface, Mrs. Ma was trying to persuade Mrs. Ma, but in fact, she was adding fuel to the fire. They were all relatives, but let them pay for the purchase.

Hearing this, Mrs. Ma became even more angry, and saw that he was about to curse again.

"Grandma, if your family doesn't want to do business today, just let it go, there are still people waiting." Li Wanqing didn't want to play tricks with Mrs. Ma any more, and just drove them away.

"Do it, do it, do it, girl, fill it up for us." Mrs. Ma hurriedly put the two wooden barrels she picked in front of the cauldron.

Lin Shuirou quickly filled their two wooden barrels, and Li Wanqing collected the money: "Grandma, it's getting late, if you keep moaning at my house, my uncle might not have to do business today."

Both Lin Dalang and Xiao Ma could hear Li Wanqing's implication. If they let Ma continue to make trouble like this today, they would never want to do this lo-mei business again in the future.

Although the profit of lo mei is not big, but two barrels are sold every day, and after deducting the capital, there is still a profit of [-] yuan, which is [-] yuan a month. They don't want to lose this business.

The couple worked together to persuade Mrs. Ma to go away. After returning that day, Li Wanqing has not seen Mrs. Ma. No matter how Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin tried to persuade her, as long as Mrs. Ma did not come to find trouble, she would be happy and relaxed.

In the blink of an eye, the opening day of Yipinguo arrived, and the day when Li Wanqing's family joined the team was also set for the sixth day of the next month.

The day before the opening of Yipinguo, Li Wanqing told Ji Fang when delivering the goods to the city that the four of them drove the cattle into the city by themselves, so they didn't bother him to pick them up.

On November [-]th, it was sunny and sunny, and the auspicious day was suitable for the market to open. Li Wanqing's family arrived at Yipinguo just after the hour.

Ji Fang and a middle-aged man in his 40s, with a medium build and a pair of small eyes shining brightly greeted them at the door.

"Miss Li, this is Shopkeeper Cai, the shopkeeper of Yipin Guo." Ji Fang introduced them.

"Treasurer Cai." Li Wanqing nodded and said, since she was the shopkeeper Cai, she didn't need to salute him.

"Miss Li is so polite." Shopkeeper Cai cupped his hands. Ji Fang had already told him about Li Wanqing's identity, so he didn't dare to be negligent. .”

"Father, mother, let's go in first." It's not time to eat, and the shop is still very quiet, Li Wanqing helped Lin Shuirou who was at a loss, walked in, Li Rulin and his son followed behind.

Go to the box on the second floor and sit down: "Brother Ji, are you done with the publicity?" A few days before the opening, she went to Huayuanju to find Ji Fang and asked him to write a leaflet, and then asked someone to print and distribute it. Many ordinary people were illiterate, so they found more than a dozen beggars and gave each of them ten Wen to promote Yipinguo.

"It's all publicized." Ji Fang nodded.

Li Wanqing was looking forward to the opening. Lin Shuirou, Li Rulin, and Li Muchen didn't know what Li Wanqing was talking about, but as long as the hot pot restaurant can open today, it would be better than anything else.

In the anticipation of several people, there was the sound of firecrackers for the opening downstairs. When the people turned around, the shopkeeper Cai stood up and spoke: "Fellow folks, Yipinguo is opening today, and you can eat enough for fifty yuan in the lobby. Ten meat buns are given away for free, and those who spend more than one tael in the private room will get a chicken for free, everyone is welcome to come and taste it." This is the first time everyone heard that there are some to eat and some to give away, and many people came in, The waiters waiting in the store all came forward to explain with exquisite menu cards.

It's for some food and some gifts, and the consumption is not high. It didn't take long for the lobby to be full of people, and after a while the private rooms were also full.

When I saw the white smoke continuously rising from the small pot on the table, and the smell of meat wafted out, and the side dishes and seasoning dishes were placed on the table, I was amazed.

Those who tasted it for the first time were all amazed at the deliciousness, especially the thinly sliced ​​meat that could be eaten after being boiled in a small pot.

Looking at the hot scene below, Li Wanqing smiled from ear to ear.
