Chapter 82

The most angry thing was that Chen Ju also said, "the second sister-in-law won't remarry? She's dead now. Even if she wants to remarry after entering the city, we can't help her."

Old man Xiao, leaning on a shoulder pole, stood outside the earthen house in the second room and shouted at Li Hongmei, who was packing up in the house:

"An unclean thing will take my grandchildren away when my son dies. Do you think I'm an old man who died? I can't care about you, can you? I tell you, either you take me with you, or you beat me until you can't control you. If you don't say a word, you'll go into the city. It's beautiful!"

Li Hongmei in the room was so angry that she shed tears.

Ye Xiaoxian couldn't stop her. Li Hongmei ran out of the house, He was so angry that he burst into tears and sniveled: "father-in-law, it's just ye who rented a facade in the city to open a restaurant. How can I be unclean? How can I take your granddaughter away? How can I care about your life and death? Why should I beat you? If I beat you, doesn't that mean I will be punished by heaven?"

"Yes, I Li Hongmei used to serve people, but I understand the truth of being a man. You have seen how much work I have done for this family over the years. Your son has been ill for so many years. He doesn't take shit and pee every day? Since I married him, I haven't said a word to other men. Now it's hard to raise my child, and my son and daughter-in-law are promising , I'm going to do a favor in the county. What can I do? "

Lao Xiao didn't care what Li Hongmei said, but said, "if you don't hit me, take me to the county and let me live in the city. I also want to get up early every morning to eat pancakes and walk the birds."

"We go to the city to make a living. We are busy every day. Where do we have free time? Don't you make trouble by following in the past?" Li Hongmei reasoned with him.

"I'm your father-in-law. You should be filial to me. How can I make trouble? Frankly, you just don't want to care about me, don't you?"

"..." Li Hongmei was so angry that she couldn't speak.

Ye Xiaoxian finally couldn't listen.

She also came out of the house and then stood in front of Li Hongmei: "grandpa also wants to enter the county?"

"Yes, it depends on whether you want me to go." Xiao old man said.

Ye Xiaoxian smiled: "my mother has just said that we are busy working in the county, not raising dogs and walking birds. If Grandpa wants to work with us, he has to work. We open restaurants, running halls, cooks and burning fires. What does grandpa want to do?"

The old man Xiao angrily said, "I'm a good head of the family. I go to the city to enjoy happiness, not to do inferior work."

"Grandpa knows he is the owner of the house. What does the owner do? He leads the whole family to work hard to make our family rich. Since grandpa doesn't run the hall or burn a fire, Grandpa comes to sum up how to open the restaurant? What dishes to cook every day and how many small workers to recruit? How about paying the salary?"

With that, ye Xiaoxian said to Li Hongmei, "Mom, we don't have to take care of this restaurant. Let's leave it to Grandpa."

Li Hongmei wiped her tears, nodded her head and said, "well, if my father-in-law wants to go into the city, let's go together. I'm still happy."

At the thought of running the restaurant, old man Xiao felt guilty: "do you want me to lead you to open a restaurant?"

Li Hongmei reminded Lao Xiao: "opening a restaurant is not a stall. You rent three Liang silver a month. You have to pay for vegetables every day and fry vegetables. If you can manage it well, Dad, you'd better go. You'd better not lose even 500 yuan a month."

Old man Xiao is completely guilty.

Three Liang silver a month? And buy vegetables every day? What if you really lose?

He is so stingy and only values his immediate interests. How can he watch the silver lose in vain under his own eyes?

After thinking for a while, the old man Xiao finally let go: "well, in that case, I won't follow you, but your filial piety fee should be increased. In the past, 500 Wen a month will be added to 800 Wen a month."

Li Hongmei was so angry that she wanted to reason again, but she was delayed by Ye Xiaoxian.

Ye Xiaoxian said, "OK, 800 words is 800 words."

……

She packed up her things and pushed them out of the village with a cart. Li Hongmei was relieved.

Can relax, can not help but feel melancholy.

She has lived in that low earth house for more than 20 years and endured it for more than 20 years. Now she can finally live a comfortable life.

Although the next days are not necessarily easy, at least you don't have to look at people.

Of course, we have to look at the look of the guests who come to dinner, but it is rewarding after all. As long as we greet the guests, people will be willing to take out their wallets for dinner. This feeling is different.

"Xiaoxian, do you think our restaurant will be fine? We don't have to go back to this mud house in the future?" Li Hongmei asked Ye Xiaoxian.

Ye Xiaoxian pushed the car in the back. After listening to Li Hongmei's words, she couldn't help smiling: "it depends on whether my mother likes it or not. If my mother doesn't like it here, we can live anywhere. If my mother likes it, that's another matter."

"Of course I don't like it here!" Thinking of the old man Xiao, Li Hongmei felt sick.

"Then we won't go back here." Ye Xiaoxian said, "the world is vast. There is always a place for us. If the restaurant doesn't open well, what if we go wandering around the world to sell jelly!"

"Good idea!" Li Hongmei immediately agreed.

She had long wanted to run away with her children, but she had no ability and strength. Now with Ye Xiaoxian, she thought it was really a blessing from heaven.

It's coming out.

But Xiao Baozhu was worried. She thought of Wang Xiucai. She didn't want to wander around, but wanted to be with Wang Xiucai.

Better marry him.

……

After they settled down, ye Xiaoxian hurried away.

First order the menu.

This area belongs to the south. People here have a variety of tastes, including light and hemp. There are many rivers and rich aquatic products here. Ye Xiaoxian decided to make a pickled fish as a signature dish.

Of course, there are also fried fish, fried fish and other dishes. She also went to the chicken stall in the market and asked others to leave chicken feet and wings to her, so that she could make chicken feet with pickled pepper.

There are still few local peppers. Ye Xiaoxian found many places to buy them.

In addition, she also matched desserts in the store, including honey lemon tea, rose sour plum soup, and of course, jelly. Desserts are given away, and each guest can drink a cup free of charge.

Snacks can't be less. I ordered pumpkin steamed bread, fried taro cake and soup dumplings. As long as I get up early to knead noodles, I'm not afraid I can't do it.

After the dishes were ordered, "Xiao family food" was officially opened.

The day before opening, ye Xiaoxian specially went to Liu's house and informed them to have dinner in her restaurant.

Both Liu Yuanwai and Liu Qianqian are greedy for the delicious food made by Ye Xiaoxian. Why don't they come.

Liu Qianqian's anorexia has been cured, and now it is almost a snack. The whole person has gained weight twice, and he has long returned to his previous plumpness.

It is said that ye Xiaoxian's restaurant has finally opened. She is very happy for ye Xiaoxian.

He even came in a carriage at home and sat down to Ye Xiaoxian's restaurant. He strolled outside for two times before entering the restaurant.

She just wants to make a big noise so that others can know that she is also a daughter here for dinner.

Sure enough, after Miss Liu walked around the restaurant, many people surrounded the restaurant. They were all talking about the origin of the "Xiao family food".

"Even Liu Yuanwai has come. It's not Liu Yuanwai's relatives who open the restaurant, is it?"

"I think so. Otherwise, why did member Liu bring his daughter?"

"Not necessarily. Isn't there a nephew of member Liu who also opened a restaurant in the west of the city? I haven't seen member Liu."

“……”

Ye Xiaoxian's restaurant has hired two long-term workers. One is ah Wu, who is smart and responsible for running the hall, and the other is ah Liu, who is honest. Ye Xiaoxian arranged for him to wash the dishes.

Ah Wu and ah Liu were both found from the gate of the city. There is a place similar to the labor market. People there can sign long-term workers or short-term workers. Occasionally, they can see some signs hanging "selling their bodies and burying their father".

Ah Wu and ah Liu are two brothers. They are both 17 or 18 years old. Their families are poor and their clothes are rotten. They look like little beggars. They can't find work after squatting at the gate of the city for five or six days.

But ye Xiaoxian fell in love with them at once. She felt that the two brothers were simple. As long as they were trained patiently, they would certainly be trained into loyal and capable guys.

Li Hongmei is responsible for greeting the guests. Xiao Baozhu helps Ye Xiaoxian and runs to the hall.

Ye Xiaoxian wants to pass on her craft to Xiao Baozhu.

But she didn't say it clearly, but looked at Xiao Baozhu's own understanding. If she could feel her mind, she would concentrate on learning cooking.

Outside the restaurant, Li Hongmei gave full play to her strengths: enthusiasm!

"Come on, the shop is newly opened. Today's dishes are 50% off, and there are extra desserts. Don't miss it when you pass by. It's not delicious and doesn't cost money."

"My guest, would you like to come in and have a taste? Today there are sauerkraut fish, braised tenderloin and chicken feet with pickled pepper."

"Come and have a look, everyone. Even member Liu boasts of delicious restaurants. If they are not delicious, they don't need money."

“……”

Then someone asked her, "isn't it? Come to dinner without money. Is it true or false?"

Ye Xiaoxian said, "my guest, don't you know when you go in? Today we will give you 50% off and free drinks."

Some people are eager to take advantage of small advantages.

It's not delicious anyway. No money.

But there are not many cheeky people after all. In addition, the dishes fried by Ye Xiaoxian are not delicious. They are also embarrassed not to give money.

Besides, Liu Yuanwai is still here. Don't you have any background in Qinghe County to cling to Liu Yuanwai? If you don't give money for dinner, aren't you afraid of being killed by member Liu?

Although these people were fooled in by Li Hongmei, after eating, they willingly went into the pit.
