Chapter 41 The Stalker
"Okay..." Glenn inevitably gritted his teeth at an angle that the two of them couldn't see, and then laughed again, "Then I'll make cakes at home and deliver them." "Come on, you haven't seen the attitude yet.
" Come out? Pretending to be blind also counts, I don't like you to force yourself up, it's too pointless." Lin Huiru picked out her ears, and was quite satisfied with Xu Ziqiao's rhetoric.
This time Ge Lan had another chance to show off, she looked at Xu Ziqiao pitifully, "Does Brother Xu not like to eat what I make? Or Miss Xiaoru doesn't want me to give something to Brother Xu..." "Come on,
sir Pull it on me, and I will not accompany you." Lin Huiru lost all patience, turned around and left.
Xu Ziqiao was dumbfounded by Gu Lan, but his slightly distorted gentlemanly demeanor allowed him to continue to speak politely, and also gave Gu Lan a small spark of hope.
"No need, it's not good to eat too much cake. I have something to do in school, so I'll go back first." Xu Ziqiao looked deeply at Lin Huiru's leaving back, and turned around after speaking.
Ge Lan easily indulged in Xu Ziqiao's gentleness, and was happy for a long time because of this, before realizing that Xu Ziqiao rejected her, and stared at Lin Huiru's leaving direction before returning to her shop.
Lin Huiru felt a little sorry that he hadn't been able to buy anything to get home after being out for a long time, so he went to the market again with his sore legs and bought a lot of things.
When he got home, Xiao Hei was playing with Lin Qing's ball wrapped in straw, and Qi Hehua was picking vegetables beside him
. Putting down the work in his hand to help her carry it together, after seeing the few straw baskets she bought, Qi Hehua asked puzzled, "There are still two baskets at home, why did you buy so many?
" Maybe it will come in handy." Lin Huiru replied, in fact, she bought this item because she saw its exquisite workmanship and was not expensive, so she planned to exchange it for something.
As the night darkened, it was rare for Lin Huiru to enter the space again. It was still a familiar decoration. She put the handicrafts she bought on it, but she was extremely disappointed by what could appear.
A basket can only change a few hair ties or some knives and forks, which is completely useless to her.
She didn't want to do this kind of loss-making business, so she took the basket and slept all night in frustration, and went to the shop the next day with Xiao Hei in her arms.
How can I say that Xiao Hei is also an orthodox little Tibetan Mastiff, her domineering appearance has attracted a lot of attention along the way, and when she arrived at the shop, Zhao Xing was also a little speechless, "This dog is so majestic, where did it come from?"
" I just bought it from a dealer, how is the business these two days?" Lin Huiru turned her head and saw two new mistresses busy, and the store was still full and had to queue up.
"If we meet again, I'd like one too." Zhao Xing sighed, and then went to the back hall with Lin Huiru, "Business has been good these two days, and the net profit yesterday was five to six hundred yuan. Today, I have three taels of silver in half a day."
Lin Huiru is actually not very satisfied with this figure, she always feels that if she abandons a thousand-year-old civilization to start a business in this backward place, she must earn more silver.
"Okay, remember to promote the point card I made. Also, every day with five, for example, the fifth day of the fifth day of the lunar new year, people who come to our store to eat skewers can enjoy a 20% discount. Look for a brand later. Write it up and hang it up." Lin Huiru sorted out some common marketing methods in her mind, after all, people are still easily attracted by discounts, and this method is useful for both men and women.
Zhao Xing nodded. After all, the cost of these strings is not high. This kind of good-looking discount can attract people and not lose money. Lin Huiru's method has been praised in his heart for a long time. He admired this young owner even more.
"Also, distinguish the level of the card, and upgrade to our VIP customer after accumulative consumption of five taels of silver. Every meal will be 50% off, and an extra 50% will be refunded during holidays. Only when the discount is strong will people never forget it." Lin Huiru Zhao Xing was even more speechless when he said the discount method he had thought about again.
"Boss, you are too business-minded." Zhao Xing couldn't help but praise.
"What is this? It's just a trick. I'm still a little worried that customers will be lost when the weather is hot here." Lin Huiru stared blankly, propped her chin with one hand, and touched the well-behaved little black who looked like a decoration with the other. sad face.
It was only then that Zhao Xing realized that he had overlooked this point. When the weather was cold, he used to warm up his body, but when the weather was hot, he would feel hot just thinking about it.
"Actually, there is a way, but I don't know if it will work." Zhao Xing hesitated.
"Any way, just say it." Lin Huiru scratched her hair, and she suddenly felt a little annoyed why she didn't study other majors, otherwise making some inventions in ancient times would benefit both the people and herself.
Zhao Xing smiled sheepishly, "This may not be a good idea. Rich people have ice mirrors in summer. Putting ice cubes in them can keep the room cool and cool. But the price of ice cubes is extremely high. We are afraid that the gain outweighs the loss."
" How expensive can it be?" Lin Huiru raised her eyebrows and asked, she had forgotten that there was an ice mirror, but ice making in ancient times was complicated and cumbersome, so the price may not be satisfactory.
"Well, there is only one family in the county who sells it. I don't know the exact price, but I heard that the county magistrate's family used several taels of silver a day." Zhao Xing said with emotion.
Lin Huiru happened to take a sip of water and heard that she was almost choked to death. She has read ancient books about the approximate size of the county lord's mansion. It looks like a hundred or so people. The master should only have seven or eight rooms. Two silver coins, she definitely couldn't afford it.
"Hey, forget it, let's buy something else in summer." Lin Huiru sighed, wiped her mouth with her cuff and said helplessly.
There are so many modern delicacies, and there are Malatang products derived from hot pot. At worst, she will sell Malatang at that time.
Zhao Xing was a little puzzled, "But what can we sell then? Now we are relying on Chuan Chuan's reputation. The location of this place is really not good, I'm afraid it will not be satisfactory."
"Don't worry, everything will stay the same, and I will find my own way when the time comes." Lin Huiru is now the backbone of the place, and if she seems to have no energy and shows that the store will close soon, it may cause confusion.
Now Zhao Xing admires Lin Huiru very much. Of course, he is convinced by her words. He nodded and relieved, "My boss has such a bearing at such a young age. It is really admirable. I am not as good as someone standing here." You are really ashamed of yourself."
Chapter 42 Unique
"It's nothing, but I just thought of it earlier." Without boasting, Lin Huiru waved his hands and smiled shyly before continuing to touch Xiao Hei in his arms.
Through the wooden door, the voice of the waiter outside sounded, "Shopkeeper, two people have come and said they want to see the owner."
Hearing this, Lin Huiru raised his eyebrows slightly, and couldn't help but look forward to someone who would come to talk about joining, "Let people Come in."
When the door opened, there were two familiar faces who came in, one was Xu Ziqiao, and the other was Xu Ziqiao's good friend Li Ji who arranged for her in the noodle shop that day.
"Xiao Ru, did I disturb you?" Xu Ziqiao entered the door, nodded slightly to Zhao Xing, still holding something in his hand.
Li Jixin is a straightforward person. In the past two days, the name of Lin Huiru's hot pot skewers has shocked the whole town. In addition, Lin Huiru said something that day, so he admired this sister-in-law even more. "Hello sister-
in-law." Lin Huiru, who was called sister-in-law all her life, was embarrassed. She nodded, stood up and looked at Xu Ziqiao, "Come and see me now, don't you have to go to class?
" She nodded to Xu Ziqiao and took Xiaoer out together.
"Sir, I have something to do today. I finished class early. I brought you some food." Xu Ziqiao put the oiled paper bag on the table and said calmly.
Li Ji felt that Xu Ziqiao was boring and unpleasant, so he hurriedly added, "Brother Xu said that sister-in-law is a good cooker. This skewer is delicious, and I recommend it to everyone in the school. I want to try something new, sister-in-law. Don't you mind?" "
Of course I don't mind paying the money." Lin Huiru half-jokingly said, she noticed Xu Ziqiao's eyes stopping Li Ji and couldn't help feeling amused.
"Sure, it's only natural to spend money on food. Brother Xu specially bought these for you, sister-in-law. You can talk slowly. I'm so hungry that I'm going to go out first." Li Ji blinked at Xu Ziqiao, turned around and left the room Door.
Lin Huiru opened the oil-paper package, and saw that there were all kinds of snacks inside. Beef jerky and duck in sauce don't look cheap.
After noticing the change in Lin Huiru's complexion, Xu Ziqiao couldn't help saying, "I thought you didn't like sweets, so I bought these, but it's not to your liking?" "No, I just think these will cost you a lot of money
. I'm still preparing for the test, so why bother?" Lin Huiru said, smelling the aroma, she couldn't help pinching a piece of beef jerky and putting it in her mouth, and she couldn't hold back the greedy little black.
Seeing her happy, Xu Ziqiao's heart eased, and she took a small piece of dried meat and gave it to Xiao Hei, "Just as long as you like it." "Why did you tell the
dog that, did you buy it for him?" Lin Huiru He deliberately opened his eyes wide and asked.
"No, I..." Before Xu Ziqiao finished explaining, Lin Huiru chuckled.
"Just kidding you." Lin Huiru licked her fingers and explained with a smile, "It's not that I don't like sweets, but I think some pastries use too much flour and sugar, which makes them a bit greasy. What? I still like crystal cakes and candied haws."
Xu Ziqiao nodded in a daze, "Okay,
I'll buy it for you next time." "Okay, just take care of yourself." Lin Huiru smiled, but it was also because of Xu Ziqiao The clumsy overtures made me happy.
Lin Huiru still ate a skewered meal with Xu Ziqiao and Li Ji. Seeing Li Ji's mouth full of dipping sauce, Lin Huiru was even more confident about the taste here.
"I have to say, sister-in-law, your craftsmanship is really good. I also want a point card. I must come here often." Li Ji spared time even if he was sweating from the hot pot. praised.
Xu Ziqiao was silently happy for Lin Huiru, and then passed a glass of water to Li Ji, "Eat slowly, there is no class in the afternoon, don't worry.
" Just work hard." After Li Ji finished speaking, he continued to gobble up.
In the evening, after Xu Ziqiao finished copying the book, she took control of the time to pick up Lin Huiru and went home together. They chatted and laughed from time to time on the way, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
When he got to the door of the house, Lin Huiru noticed someone sneaking around. Before he could react, Xiao Hei in his arms started howling, scaring the man away like a rabbit.
For some reason, Lin Huiru always found that figure very familiar.
The next moment, Xu Ziqiao guarded Lin Huiru tightly behind him, and after confirming that the man had left, he ordered, "Your shop is already famous far and wide, and someone will definitely think you are just a woman and have some bad ideas. Be careful, don't walk at night by yourself unless I accompany you."
Xu Ziqiao's words made sense, and Lin Huiru of course nodded in agreement, "I understand." But what worried her was that if someone really wanted to It would be very dangerous just to have Qi Hehua and Lin Qing there.
After returning home, Lin Huiru told Lin Qing and Qi Hehua what he had just seen to tell them to be more careful.
Hearing that Qi Hehua was full of worry, ""We are all very old, there is nothing to be afraid of. It's you, I'm just afraid that someone will be against you. "
The big tree attracts the wind, Lin Huiru never expected that someone would be jealous so soon, "Tomorrow I will buy a few more dogs to keep at home and guard the home, and you don't have to worry about me. "
"Well, if the night is dark, I will pick Xiaoru up. "Xu Ziqiao answered the words at the right time, which reassured the Lin family's parents a lot,
"It's good to have Ziqiao here, it's too unsafe for a little girl to be alone at home. "Qi Hehua still had a little worry on her face, and then she turned her attention to Lin Qing.
Lin Qing's face was gloomy, "Whoever dares to enter this house, dares to harm Xiaoru, I will never let him go!" "
"Okay, you're an old man, don't do anything tomorrow, go get a few dogs that can protect the courtyard." "Qi Hehua scolded Lin Qing, but her eyes were full of worry. After all, if Lin Qing was also hurt, it would be even more detrimental to the family. This kind of
thing is inevitable, Lin Huiru can think The solution is to raise two more dogs to watch the nursing home, but the familiar figure makes her very concerned, she always feels as if she has seen that figure from the back somewhere.
"Okay, I'll get a few dogs tomorrow, and Xiao Ru will take one with her when she goes out." Lin Qing felt helpless, and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed at her inability to protect her daughter.
Lin Huiru spent the whole night thinking carefully about when she saw that figure, which made her unable to sleep at night, and got up the next day with a pair of panda eyes.
Lin Qing, who attaches great importance to this matter, went to buy several hunting dogs in the mountains early in the morning. They are very ferocious and protect their masters, which are most suitable for protecting their family Xiaoru.
Hearing the barking of the dog, Lin Huiru got up and yawned and pushed open the door.
Chapter 43
Five dogs of different coat colors surrounded Lin Qing in the yard, and Lin Qing was smiling and dividing the bones left over from the soup one by one.
The five dogs were not big or small, but their muscles were very obvious. At first glance, they were different from ordinary housekeeping dogs. Coupled with the domineering nature of those dogs, Lin Huiru also became energetic.
"Father, why did you buy so many dogs?" Lin Huiru touched one casually, as if he had been well-trained and knew that it was a member of his family. The dog didn't move around and concentrated on gnawing on the bones.
Lin Qing rubbed his hands and smiled, "Woke you up? These are used for hunting, and they are a bit old, but it's still good to look after the house. I think there are too many, and I can protect you well. Anyway, it's more useful than an old man
like me." "What are you talking about?" Lin Huiru scowled at Lin Qing, squatted down and rubbed each dog one by one, each dog had a different design and color, and their fur was smooth and smooth. The condition is excellent.
"The white one is called Beibei, the yellow one is called Laicai, the black and white one is called Huzi, and the three-colored one is called... what are they called?" Lin Qing scratched his head for a long time and couldn't think of the remaining two dogs. What, and Lin Huiru's whole person is also fooled.
After a while, Lin Huiru let go of the dog and sneered, "If you train better, you can change their names, and I'll leave this job to you." "That's fine, then what do you want to call them?
" Lin Qing nodded, he had nothing to do anyway, as long as he could help Lin Huiru, he would be happy.
The corners of Lin Huiru's mouth twitched. Her naming skills were not as good as Lin Qing's. The number five circled in her mind for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she pointed at them one by one, "Beibei, Jingjing, Huanhuan, Yingying, Nini."
"Good name!" Lin Qing is now a daughter, and Lin Huiru clapped her hands and asked, "Why are you called these names?" "Easy to remember." Lin
Huiru With a perfunctory smile, she couldn't say that this was the only Fuwa's name she remembered.
Fortunately, these five dogs have good tempers. Xiao Hei's eyes lit up when he saw the same kind of dogs when he came for a stroll, and he came here after bouncing around.
At this time, Lin Huiru couldn't help but feel that the Tibetan mastiff is a Tibetan mastiff, and its domineering strength can't be overshadowed. The five dogs glared at Xiao Hei, and Xiao Hei was not timid, and took it from Lin Qing's hand when he strode over. Got a bone.
It seemed that Xiao Hei had no hostility, and the five dogs did not continue to be vigilant any longer under the same roof, and each ate his own.
When Lin Huiru and Lin Qing went out for a walk with their dogs, they were very imposing. Lin Qing held three with his left hand and two with his right. Lin Huiru was only responsible for holding Xiao Hei. This posture of going out attracted the attention of the masses.
After walking around for a while, Lin Qing's waist almost broke, and being led by five dogs for an afternoon was more tiring than his two or three days of farm work.
Qi Hehua was helping Lin Qing's waist, while muttering, "You said you are an old bone, what are you doing, now your waist is flashing, and you can't help Xiaoru anymore, you are satisfied. ""
"I'm thinking of taking a few dogs to familiarize myself with the environment, so that I can take care of the nursing home in the future... Hey, be gentle, it hurts..." Lin Qing bared in pain as Qi Hehua put the plaster on it Grinning.
Seeing the appearance of the two, Lin Huiru couldn't help crying and laughing, "Father, you should take good care of it these few days. Let the dog stay at home first, and you will be afraid to go out to look after the children during the day." "Oh, I know
. Lin Qing sighed, a little annoyed that it was useless.
"Father-in-law, I heard that there is a plaster in the town that is very effective. I bought it for you to try." Xu Ziqiao also pushed the door in, and handed a pack of medicine-smelling things to Qi Hehua. ââQi Hehua took the things with a smile and thanked her again and again, "Xiao Xu, you have a heart
too. He was kind enough to not help, and even put himself in."
All right, I'll chop the firewood in the yard." Xu Ziqiao said with concern.
The Lin family tonight gave people an unprecedented sense of security because there were a few more dogs in the yard. It took Xiao Hei only one day to get acquainted with the five big dogs, and the five dogs looked extraordinarily warm squeezed into one den.
However, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. Lin Huiru had just fallen asleep, and before he played chess with Zhou Gong, he heard the rapid barking of dogs in the yard. The voices of the six dogs mixed together were extremely loud.
Lin Huiru hurriedly put on her clothes and opened the door. Before she could see the person bitten by the dog, she heard howling and cursing.
Lin Huiru was also very familiar with this voice, and Xu Ziqiao who heard the same sound was even more familiar. Lin Huiru stepped forward to pull the dog away, and saw Xu Qinghe whose clothes were gnawed.
"Hey, big brother is so elegant. He came to our house at night and didn't even say hello. Is it convenient to turn over the wall?" Lin Huiru's eyes were full of fierceness, thinking of what she saw that night She got angry at the figure exactly like Xu Qinghe, and raised her foot to give Xu Qinghe a hard look.
Xu Ziqiao who witnessed this action didn't say anything, but silently stood beside Lin Huiru and frowned and asked, "Brother, what are you doing?" "I...I..." Xu Qinghe didn't care
much No matter how irrational, he stammered for a long time without saying anything, and then he got up from the ground in embarrassment and accepted the scrutiny of the Lin family's parents.
Lin Huiru looked at the place where Xu Qinghe climbed down. There are low walls on both sides, one is storage, and the other is the kitchen. Xu Qinghe was bitten at the door of the kitchen again, most likely because he was beating something for attention.
And the money was kept very well by her, even Xu Qinghe was powerless, after guessing the meaning of Xu Qinghe's coming, Lin Huiru sneered, "Brother, are you curious about my strings, or do you want to steal something."
In both, Xu Qinghe could only relieve the embarrassment by patting his clothes, and then he said out of nothing, "I have something to ask Zi Qiao, but you didn't make any sound after you patted the door for a long time, so I came in over the wall to see if there was anything wrong. For your own good."
"Heh, the good one is good for us, but goodbye, we are not blessed to accept this kind of love, come to knock on the door at night, come to remind me?" Lin Huiru looked at Xu Qinghe's confident look and said Nausea, if she hadn't pulled the dog's leash, these five dogs would have jumped up and gnawed Xu Qinghe.
Bei Bei let out a low growl from his throat, causing Xu Qinghe to take a few steps back, "Zi Qiao! I'm your brother! What are you doing to me with so many dogs!?" Hearing that,
Xu Ziqiao was even more disappointed with this brother Zhiji, "Brother, we have already separated, I don't want anything, I just hope you don't come to disturb our life anymore."
Chapter 44 Close the Door and Let the Dogs Go
"What do you mean disturbing your life?" Xu Qinghe rolled up his sleeves and wanted to talk to Xu Ziqiao, but Lin Huiru deliberately loosened the dog leash to threaten him.
Xu Qinghe didn't have the guts to come over, but Shu Xiu, a strong family member, was about to hand over. He was annoyed by Liu Xiulan's nagging, and he heard that the series of businesses were going well, so he started to think about something wrong.
But Lin Huiru was not stupid, and he would not stick the formula on the kitchen wall stupidly. Xu Qinghe went to Lin's house in the middle of the night, which can be described as extremely stupid.
"At this time in the middle of the night, my elder brother broke through the wall without saying hello. How is it different from a thief stealing? Even relatives, the laws of our country will not tolerate it." Xu Ziqiao looked at Xu Qinghe with disappointment and disgust in his eyes, for a long time Xu Qinghe didn't treat him like this before, if Liu Xiulan hadn't been a hindrance, then Xu Qinghe was just an honest farmer, how could he have such a strong jealousy.
Xu Qinghe's face turned blue and red at what Xu Ziqiao said, and she was very embarrassed, and Qi Hehua also walked over with Lin Qing, "This is my daughter's house, it's really ugly to climb over the wall, if you don't leave , we are going to report to the police!"
"I'm here to find my brother, what's your business?!" Xu Qinghe's voice annoyed Lin Huiru, and as soon as she let go, the five dogs jumped on him, which was good again. There was a scream.
"Brother, I am neither the biological father nor the mother. I have given you a lot of money over the years. It is better to break this relationship. Your affairs have nothing to do with me. From now on, we will be strangers." Xu Ziqiao said with a blank face and opened the door He opened the gate of the courtyard and signaled Xu Qinghe to leave.
Now Xu Qinghe's clothes have been torn by dogs like rags, the cotton wool is turned out, and his face is dirty, which looks very funny.
"The kindness of nurturing, but you have to pay it off after you say it? I'm not an unreasonable person. I'm going to finish my training soon. Take out ten taels of silver! Otherwise, it will delay his studies. Be careful. God damn it!" Xu Qinghe still kept messing around with a sideways face, making Lin Huiru just want to let the dog bite him to death.
But she held back, and said sarcastically, "Oh, don't give birth if you can't afford it. If you give birth, you need someone else to help you raise it. Why don't you kowtow to recognize your parents?"
"This matter has nothing to do with you! Shut up when men talk!" Xu Qinghe glared at Lin Huiru. It was after marrying this woman that Xu Ziqiao didn't even listen to their words.
Lin Qing couldn't bear this attitude. He resisted the pain in his waist and pointed at Xu Qinghe, "This is my daughter's house! Do you really treat yourself like a thing? Xiaoru, let the dog bite him!"
The five dogs are all hounds that arouse ferociousness when they are angry. The way they pull the rope and grin their teeth is very frightening. Xu Qinghe is afraid for a while when he thinks of those pains. Splashed at Xu Ziqiao once, "Look if you are still a man! Being pushed away by a woman! What a waste! Quickly take out your money! Otherwise, it will be taken away by this woman's family!
" The combination of these things made Xu Ziqiao extremely disappointed in Xu Qinghe. Seeing Lin Huiru's sullen face, he was no longer modest, "Brother, if you don't leave, the only famous school in town is my teacher. If I say hello, even if you pay thirty taels of repairs, Zhuang Zhuang will not be able to go to school."
"You fucking threatened me with a child!? Are you still a human being?!" Xu Qinghe blushed and was out of breath. Yes, what a rascal.
After all, Lin Huiru couldn't bear it anymore, and let go of the rope again, "Why are you talking nonsense with this kind of rotten person?"
Seeing Xu Qinghe's unwillingness to give up after being chased out of the door by the dog, Lin Huiru stepped forward and raised his voice. , "The neighbors can hear about this tonight, and tomorrow I will go to the government to report to the government. Recently, if anything is lost in my house, it is you, Xu Qinghe, who did it! I don't want to go to jail or make your son unable to go to school Just don't bother us!"
Xu Qinghe had no time to fight the dog, and had no time to talk to Lin Huiru, so Lin Huiru called the dog back after speaking, and then closed the door with a bang.
She felt that the yard here needs to be strengthened.
"Xiao Ru, what happened tonight..." Xu Ziqiao followed Lin Huiru's footsteps to the front of her room with a face full of guilt. Speaking of which, Lin Huiru spent a lot of money to rent this place, and his ineffective elder brother dared to show off his might. It's really embarrassing.
Lin Huiru was tired from the noise, and her throat also hurt, so she waved her hands and said impatiently, "It has nothing to do with you, and I don't care about it. I'll find someone to add a piece to the fence tomorrow and go to sleep." "
Sorry , but I will do what I say tonight." Xu Ziqiao showed a firm look, and of course he was referring to leaving Zhuang Zhuang with nothing to learn.
For that family, Lin Huiru can only describe it as the best. The child is already crooked, and she can't imagine the meaning of spending fifteen or two bunches of repairs before going to school.
"Whatever you want, I'm sleepy, go to sleep." Lin Huiru didn't take this matter to heart, went back to the house, closed the door, turned off the light, went to bed, and fell asleep in a daze.
The next day, Lin Huiru did what he said, and hired workers to directly increase the slope of the wall by one meter, and covered it with porcelain fragments to prevent theft.
Although the courtyard wall is not so beautiful in this way, the safety factor has been improved a lot. Only then did Lin Huiru feel relieved and went out.
Although she didn't sleep well last night, she had a dream of eating and drinking in modern times. She has been in ancient times for so long, and she has nothing to miss, but she wants to drink milk tea.
Thinking of brown sugar pearls and delicious pudding, Lin Huiru couldn't hold back her foodie spirit.
That's why she couldn't wait to go to the market to buy milk and black tea, as well as brown sugar and tapioca flour. After making sure that she had bought everything, she hummed a little song and was greeted by six dogs and went home.
As soon as she came back, she went straight to the kitchen. Qi Hehua and Lin Qing didn't want to disturb her, but quietly watched Lin Huiru busy.
Lin Huiru first poured milk into the pot, then poured a handful of black tea to boil, then added water with brown sugar and tapioca starch and made balls the size of a little finger and put them aside.
This ancient milk is all pure milk. After tasting it several times, she only felt the fishy smell. After frowning, she had a new idea.
She boiled a pot of caramel and reduced the proportion of pure milk, which gave a little taste of milk tea. Then she boiled the brown sugar balls, put the pearls in it, and paired the brown sugar balls with the ones she made by herself. The caramel milk tea narrowed her satisfied eyes.
Perhaps it was because the eyes of the Lin family's parents were too hot, and Lin Huiru coughed violently after discovering that they were peeping.
Chapter 45 Pearl Milk Tea
"Xiao Ru, are you okay?" Seeing this, Qi Hehua quickly walked over to give Lin Huiru a go, with worry written all over his face.
Lin Huiru waved his hands again and again, coughed for a while, blushed and recovered, frowned slightly and said coquettishly, "If you want to see it, come in and watch it openly. People can scare people to death." "It's not that we don't want to
disturb What about you, such a fragrant thing, Xiaoru, what are you doing?" Qi Hehua looked at the bowl of experimental milk tea curiously, the previous skewers were the first delicious taste she had come into contact with, and so was the fragrance of this milk tea.
"This is a new thing I have researched, called pearl milk tea." Lin Huiru went to get Lin Qing in, and put a bowl of milk tea on the table one by one for them to taste.
Out of curiosity, Qi Hehua scooped up the brown sugar balls and milk tea with a spoon and eagerly drank them, and was completely overwhelmed by the sweet and silky taste of the milk tea.
"This is really delicious." Qi Hehua said with emotion, and then held the bowl and drank it to the bottom in one gulp.
Most women like sweeter things, Qi Hehua likes it closely, Lin Qing doesn't like it that much, but drinking less is also the taste that amazes him, "We Xiaoru are smart, and we can always make such delicious things Come."
This compliment made Lin Huiru cock her tail, and she even laughed out of her dimples with joy, "Yes, this is what I have thought about for a long time. Hot pot is only suitable for eating when the weather is cold, but this one is not good. It's the same, you can drink hot when the weather is cold, and cold when it's hot."
ââQi Hehua filled another bowl, drank it all at once, and then continued to praise Lin Huiru with a smile on her face, "Little Ru can have this It's really great to have such an economic mind. If it depends on the two of us, Xiao Ru might still be suffering. Hey..." "Okay, I'm
living a good life now. Don't talk nonsense all the time, and you won't be afraid of offending Xiao Ru." If you are not happy." Lin Qing actually felt deeply in the past few days, he told Qi Hehua not to make a fuss, but in fact he was very happy because of it.
"Oh, it's just a cup of pearl milk tea. How can there be so many things? I plan to develop a few more flavors and sell them at the door of the hot pot restaurant." If it is not rebuilt, a small concierge will be added to sell milk tea.
"Okay, okay, is there anything we can help you with? You don't have to mention it, we old couple don't want to hold you back." Qi Hehua drank a little more contentedly, looking at Lin Huiru's eyes full of emotion.
Hearing that Lin Huiru nodded, she had long regarded Lin Qing and Qi Hehua as her biological parents, so she would naturally speak up when encountering something, "Actually, there is no big thing for you to do, I just need you to taste what I made for me. The taste of milk tea."
"This taste is already the best thing I've ever drunk, what else do you want?" Qi Hehua asked in surprise.
Lin Huiru smiled modestly, "In this business, there are many tricks to be popular. Although the taste is good, it does not prevent me from doing other things. I just think that if more people taste this taste, it will be closer to the public." Taste."
After this set of rhetoric, Qi Hehua half-understood Lin Huiru, but she supported Lin Huiru, "Okay, just do it, and the mothers who make it will drink it." "
Then when the time comes Thank you for your hard work." Lin Huiru nodded with a smile, and couldn't help feeling that this was not an easy job, she didn't have a recipe, and the portion could only be adjusted bit by bit, and she probably had to drink milk tea for the next few days.
Fortunately, these are all pure cow's milk, without any modern additives. If you drink too much, it will just cause you to get stuck or get fatter.
Lin Huiru is a person who will take action when she has an idea. She went out again and added a lot of things, and then treated the kitchen as a laboratory, placing more than a dozen cups on the table, and adjusted them bit by bit. taste.
This tasting was from morning to night, and during this period, it could be said that she couldn't even eat. Qi Hehua, who likes to drink at first, also turned green when she smelled the milk tea.
As the evening approached, Xu Ziqiao, a new guinea pig, came back slowly. Seeing the listless looks of the three, Xu Ziqiao also noticed the fragrance of the garden, and couldn't help being a little puzzled, "You two, what's the matter?"
"It's just in time for you to come back. Come and help me taste this." Lin Huiru hiccupped, dragged Xu Ziqiao to the kitchen, and handed Xu Ziqiao the milk tea she had just made but couldn't drink.
The aroma of the milk tea came over my face, and Lin Huiru handed it over, so Xu Ziqiao drank it without hesitation. The sweetness and the taste of milk swayed in his mouth, causing Xu Ziqiao to show a hint of surprise on his face.
Seeing the change in his expression, Lin Huiru hurriedly asked, "How is it? Is it delicious?
" What?" After the words fell, Xu Ziqiao noticed that the room was full of cups and some things he hadn't seen before.
Lin Huiru also tasted a little bit herself, and after a flash of joy, she picked up the note and wrote down the ratio, "That's natural, come on, help me taste this again." Xu Ziqiao found that there was
a small piece of paper under the cup . The note said caramel red bean milk tea. Although he didn't understand what it meant, this cup had a slightly bitter taste, which went very well with the sweet red beans. "This one is also good." Lin Huiru moved once again
. After writing down the ratio, Xu Ziqiao couldn't help but wondered when she saw that she was just recording and not drinking, "Why don't you drink?"
Lin Huiru hiccupped when she asked this question, and her face turned pale. She pointed at the Lin family couple who were still in a daze outside, and said awkwardly, "We've been drinking here for a whole day, and we've hardly even eaten, and we're about to vomit.
" Looking at the half pot of milk and black tea, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, but seeing Lin Huiru's slightly begging expression, he refused reluctantly. Numb.
"Don't give it to me. I'll bring Li Ji back tomorrow. Let's eat something...salty tonight." Xu Ziqiao covered her lips and hiccupped, and the three of them agreed wholeheartedly.
At the same time, Li Ji, who was worrying about the soup and lack of water at home, sneezed several times, but it scared the people at the dinner table.
After eating delicious meals, the four of them saved their lives. The shelf life of fresh milk is not long, so Lin Huiru could only feed the unfinished milk to the family dog. Now even the Lin family dog All have a fear of milk.
The next day, Xu Ziqiao brought back Li Ji, who didn't know why, as he said. When Li Ji was still happily greeting Lin's parents, Lin Huiru had already asked Buddha for his blessing in his heart.
Chapter 46 The Rat
The nightmarish afternoon started here. When it got dark, Li Ji's stomach was already stretched like a ball. Seeing him slumped aside like a corpse, Xu Ziqiao sighed and came to Lin Huiru's side, "How?"
"There are only eight flavors." Lin Huiru thought about the long list of drinks in the modern milk tea shop, and then looked at her pitiful piece of paper and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
The corners of Xu Ziqiao's lips moved slightly, with a helpless look in his eyes, this Li Ji is still a person, "Eight is already a lot, and now there is no one to try, why not do this first?" "No, who said that no one can
try ." Lin Huiru shook his head, and a few figures suddenly appeared in his mind.
The one who suffered this time was her hot pot skewers shop assistant. Just like the previous ones, everyone was in high spirits and joy at first, but after tasting it for a period of time, they all looked down on life and death.
Tasting too many things will numb the sense of taste. Lin Huiru was afraid of scaring people away, so he didn't push any further. He sighed and temporarily set twelve flavors.
"Shopkeeper Zhao, come with me." Lin Huiru walked around to the backyard with the prepared menu and poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip.
A bad premonition flashed through Zhao Xing's heart, but he followed up bravely. After closing the door, he asked anxiously, "Master...you are looking for me, what can I do?" "Nothing, I just want to expand the store
. "Lin Huiru picked up a pen and sketched on the paper to design the facade, Zhao Xing was relieved to see this.
Lin Huiru, the test subject in this circle, is afraid that he will vomit when he sees a cow in the past few days.
"How do you want to change?" Zhao Xing asked with a hiccup.
"It's almost like this..." Lin Huiru pushed the modern and common milk tea facade on the paper to Zhao Xing and explained, "Make this a cabinet, the space should be enough to put the table for the materials at the back, and the windows here should be able to move. ..."
After Lin Huiru explained, Zhao Xing half understood, "However, you and the craftsman have to explain it clearly."
Hearing this, Lin Huiru couldn't help being dumbfounded. After talking with her for a long time, she waved her hand helplessly, "Okay, then go and hire a craftsman for me." "Now?"
Zhao Xing asked.
"Let's wait a while." Lin Huiru held her chin and fell into deep thought again. There are no paper cups in this era, so it would be very troublesome for her to make them, and in such a small place, the profit may not be much. .
But if she only opened the front door, the customers had no place to sit, which put her in a dilemma.
"Shopkeeper, my boss, a gorgeously dressed businessman has come outside and wants to meet my boss." The voice of Xiao Er sounded through the door.
Lin Huiru's eyes lit up when she heard the words "gorgeously dressed" and "businessman". She was worried that no one would come here, "Prepare the tea and invite someone to come in.
" With the appearance of a nouveau riche, with many servants behind her like bodyguards, it seemed a bit crowded when she entered her office.
"I don't know what this boss wants from me?" Lin Huiru asked the man pouring a pot of tea with a smile on his face.
The man in Chinese clothes looked forty or fifty years old, with a thick black beard and shrewdness in his triangular eyes. He stroked his beard, took a sip of tea, and said unhurriedly, "My name is Zheng Duoan, yes A cloth merchant in the next county passed by here and heard that the skewers here are passed on by word of mouth, so he came to take a fresh picture and felt that the skewers are worthy of the name, really convenient and delicious." "That's natural, the boss came from afar, but it's hard
work It's gone." Lin Huiru listened patiently to her compliments, and refilled another cup of tea.
"It's not hard, it's not hard. I mainly want to ask you, girl, is it not easy to support this shop at a young age?" Zheng Duoan is worthy of his age, and his whole body reveals a taste of sophistication.
Lin Huiru is not used to dealing with this kind of old fritters. She was afraid that she would be fooled by others, so she smiled dryly and said bluntly, "Boss, just speak up if you have anything to say. About the shop, can we talk?"
"Oh? Then this girl intends to sell shops and cooks?" Zheng Duoan raised his eyebrows, and there was joy in his eyes.
"That's not true." Lin Huiru didn't dare to make the pause too long, and after drooling, she said slowly, "Boss, you have a good eye, I am the only one in the world, but if you spend a lot of money to open here A long way from you, there are also cooks who have to leave their homes with you, which is so troublesome."
Zheng Duo'an looked puzzled, for businessmen, there is nothing that money can't solve, but Lin Huiru's statement He was a little confused, "Girl, what do you mean?"
"I sell technology! I sell licenses! I sell formulas!" Lin Huiru said proudly.
Zheng Duoan didn't often hear these words, so he couldn't help asking, "What does this technology and authorization mean?" "
Hey, this so-called technology and authorization, I will explain it to you slowly." Moisturizing his throat, he explained, "This technology and formula are not separated. They are all for teaching you how to make this skewer. This is an authorization..." "If I have
a formula and sell it to ordinary businessmen and wealthy businessmen at the same price, then Rich merchants can make more money because of their abundance of resources, but ordinary merchants will lose money, am I right? What's more, I am the only one in the world, so the price is naturally not low, let alone buying it out. "Lin Huiru pretends to be esoteric.
Zheng Duoan's curiosity was aroused, and then he said, "Yes, yes." "
So I asked the price according to your business scope, and drew up a contract to protect our respective rights and interests." Lin Huiru had prepared several times in advance. She put the contract in front of Zheng Duo'an, and pushed the map with Jia Fugui's name over it, "This is the map of the region authorization that I will record, and I absolutely guarantee that no one will infringe on your interests.
" The insurance measures are all very good, and Zheng Duoan, who has been in the mall for many years, also feels that this is quite reliable, and he is a little excited, "Then, what is the cost?" "It's simple, where do you want to authorize?
" Lin Huiru couldn't hold back her excitement when she thought about another huge sum of money coming into the account today.
"I'm in Linan County next door, how much money?" Zheng Duo'an asked.
This Linan is about the same size as Weishui, so Lin Huiru blurted out, "Four hundred taels, Weishui is about the same size as Linan, and Boss Jia who bought Weishui's authorization earlier also spent four hundred taels.
" It was too high, he thought about it for a while and was about to sign the contract, but the attendant beside him lowered his head and whispered a few words, Zheng Duoan's face changed slightly, and even frowned, looking A flicker of doubt.
Chapter 47 After Sales Service
Lin Huiru couldn't figure out what the two of them said, but she had countless eyes and wanted to show that follower. Her good business always gave her the feeling that it was half done.
"Does this boss have any concerns?" In order to be able to do business, Lin Huiru had to laugh and asked again.
"I signed and paid the money for you, so you won't lie to me?" Zheng Duo'an listened to the attendant's remarks, and the suspicion on his face was self-evident, and he even frowned faintly, as if he was in the same position as Lin Huiru. Talking is like being tricked.
Hearing that Lin Huiru couldn't help being a little funny, she understood that she was persecuted at such an age, "No, it's even more impossible for me to cheat you after this contract is signed, not to mention that I am a weak woman, and this shop is here. You can come to me for any questions, okay?"
"What if you are with the Weishui government?" Zheng Duoan questioned again.
This time Lin Huiru almost vomited blood. She smiled wryly and asked back, "If I can get in touch with the government, do I still need to open a business in this kind of place? And our partnership is just to cheat you of four hundred taels of silver? I want If you really have the ability, why don't you just charge you with a bail of one thousand taels? Huh?" Seeing
Zheng Duoan's suddenly enlightened look, Lin Huiru couldn't help but slapped his forehead, and he was very angry.
"Hey, I'm sorry, this person is afraid of liars because of his age." Zheng Duoan signed the contract with an embarrassed smile, and then handed Lin Huiru four hundred taels of silver.
Since Lin Huiru is not very good at recognizing money, after finding Zhao Xing to identify it, Zheng Duoan and his close attendant went to the kitchen to teach them hand in hand.
During this period, Zheng Duoan was really not as scheming as she thought, and the problems came one after another, and they emerged endlessly, with no lower limit.
Seeing her put four beef stick bones in a big pot, Zheng Duoan asked, "Why put four? Four is not auspicious." "...Well, you
can also put five, as long as you don't feel Loss." Lin Huiru explained.
Zheng Duoan asked again after a while, "Why don't you put pepper and aniseed ingredients to enhance the fragrance?"
Lin Huiru replied, "This is a clear soup. I'll teach you how to make spicy soup later, so I'll use prickly ash and aniseed ingredients."
Zheng Duoan agreed, and after a while Ansheng asked, "Can this pot of soup be used? How long?"
"...see how much you can buckle." Lin Huiru resisted the urge to put the ladle on the head.
Not long after, Zheng Duoan came again, "With so many chili peppers, will it make your stomach feel uncomfortable? And the oil, is it too much?
" You can control the amount to distinguish between slightly spicy, medium spicy and spicy." Lin Huiru has already gritted her teeth.
It was Lin Huiru's biggest concession for these two people to be able to talk happily about hot pot and go out. She felt that her temper seemed to have improved a lot because of the money.
One afternoon, she was dry mouthed. Zhao Xing saw her look of lovelessness, quickly handed her a glass of water, and said with emotion, "Boss, it's not easy for you." Lin Huiru drank fiercely
. After finishing the glass of water, Youyou shifted her gaze to Zhao Xing, "I will draw up a confidentiality agreement in a few days, and I will hand over the formula to you, you come." Zhao Xing, who was still a little sympathetic, was suddenly dumbfounded, and even a little dumbfounded
. Said, "Boss, I'm old and my memory is bad, so I should leave this job to someone else." "
No, I will trust you here, but if you leak the recipe, I will do it." Lin Huiru put the ugly words first, After Xu Ziqiao took her back to the Lin family, he drew up a non-disclosure agreement overnight for the cook and Zhao Xing to sign.
With the constant stream of visitors now, Lin Huiru will no longer ask the Lin family's parents to help. It would be a sin to be tired.
This day was the most tiring day for Lin Huiru. There was nothing else but tiredness in her heart.
The temperature is getting warmer day by day. Lin Huiru sat in the yard and fed the dogs leftover chicken and beef bones from the soup one by one.
"What's the matter? Are you in a bad mood today?" Xu Ziqiao helped Qi Hehua wash the dishes, and brought two oranges for Lin Huiru.
Lin Huiru took the orange back to his senses, took a knife and cut the orange in half horizontally, "It's nothing, I just met a troublesome boss." "You can tell me what's bothering you.
" Xu Ziqiao pushed a dog to move the nest, took a small stool and sat next to Lin Huiru, looking at her curiously.
"That's not true. I just feel that there is too much difference between people. It's a bit silly for a boss to learn the formula today. It's just explaining that I'm tired all afternoon." Lin Huiru peeled off the orange peel completely After eating half a mouthful, I found needles, thread and candles.
Xu Ziqiao smiled when she heard the words, "It's true that business is difficult. You are already very good. If you can, you can ask others to help you.
" Carved the orange into a funny face, lit a candle and fixed it inside, then fixed the orange, held it in front of Xu Ziqiao and shook it, "Look, the orange lamp." The orange lamp flickered because of Lin Huiru's
actions After a few times, looking at that funny face, Xu Ziqiao smiled even more, and felt that Lin Huiru was the weirdest woman he had ever seen, although he hadn't seen many women.
"Not bad." Xu Ziqiao looked at the scribbled knife skills, but couldn't say any words of praise, and only choked out these two words.
Lin Huiru breathed a sigh of relief admiring her masterpiece, as if she had knocked over a five-flavored bottle in her heart, thinking that it has been more than half a month since she came to this strange place and time and space, except for the things she made now that are full of modern style , she was almost infected by the surrounding atmosphere and completely became an ancient person.
"It's getting late, the night is humid, you might as well go to bed early." Xu Ziqiao couldn't read her mind, and was afraid of offending Lin Huiru, so she had to say with concern.
"Well, you too." Lin Huiru was in a flustered mood, and she touched six dog heads one by one before returning to the room.
If she were in modern times, she would be preparing for exams at the beginning of school. She has good grades, but she is not self-motivated. After graduation, she will be caught up in the busy job hunting and work like thousands of students. I didn't tell her about such things, but when I think about it, I feel that it must be an ordinary life.
She prides herself on being different, but she doesn't want to disappear in the crowd, so she took advantage of her vacation time to go out and enrich herself, but she didn't expect...
All this happened so suddenly, but looking back, she couldn't help but feel that, Perhaps it was more suitable for her in ancient times, at least she had a way to make a fortune, earning 800 taels of silver in just half a month, maybe she could visit the foot of the imperial city in the future.
Chapter 48
Lin Huiru fell into a deep sleep dreaming of getting rich, and it was a new day, she yawned and walked to the shop, today Zhao Xing made an appointment for her to come to the door, and prepared for her to make the front of the shop .
There are only so many things in ancient times. At first, she would be curious to explore here and there, but after a long time, she didn't bother to join in the fun.
Suddenly, there was a burst of noise. I don't know what was surrounded by people. Lin Huiru wanted to go around, but stopped after hearing a burst of crying.
That was an extremely delicate female voice. She bullied women in broad daylight, and she couldn't just sit idly by.
"Hey, excuse me..." Lin Huiru stepped into the innermost part of the crowd, and then saw that this place was actually a butcher shop. The owner of this shop was vicious and stingy, so she broke off cooperation. thoughts.
Today's matter is also from this shop, among the crowd, sitting not far in front of her is a young girl with tattered clothes, sitting on the ground crying fiercely.
"Hands and feet are not clean at such a young age! I don't know what father and mother raised such a child! It's unlucky to encounter such a thing when we open the door early in the morning!" Pointing the knife at the little girl, "Little bitch! This meat is just out of the oven! Hurry up and pay me money!"
Lin Huiru's ears were ringing from the butcher's voice, and she couldn't help rolling her eyes inwardly. With such a dress, I also know that this girl can't afford to pay for such meat.
"Are you all right?" Lin Huiru couldn't bear to hear the girl cry, and after noticing that the girl's hands were a little torn, she took out a handkerchief from her body and went up to wrap her hands around her and asked softly.
Although the little girl was crying and twitching, she was able to spare time to say intermittently, "Thank you, I... I'm fine..." She got up from the ground with Lin Huiru's support, her pair of watery eyes The eyes are swollen like bells.
"I...I really didn't steal your meat! Don't wrong me...and I don't have any money..." The little girl clasped Lin Huiru's veil tightly and explained through gritted teeth.
At this time, Lin Huiru's keen ears heard a lot of comments, "Isn't this girl the one from the widow Tiancun's family? I just looked at this dress just now." "Yes, I have seen it too
. The walls of the house are already desolate, and the walls are leaking air. It's pitiful to look at. How can I have money to buy meat." "
I heard that the widow is so sick that she can't get out of bed now. Tsk tsk, the family has no money and wants to eat meat. What can I do?"
"It's nothing special, it's just that his hands and feet are not smooth, this boss is a ruthless person, last time a little beggar picked up a piece of meat that fell on the ground, but give him a good meal."
Surrounded Lin Huiru was very uncomfortable listening to the comments. This is what she is extremely disgusted with in the countryside. From ten miles to eight villages, any family can gossip vigorously.
Although a poor person must have something to hate, but the little girl's figure and aggrieved appearance in front of her made her unable to doubt. She was about to listen to some more useful information when the butcher opened his voice and slapped her again. Shocking.
"You didn't steal it?! Little slut, you've been looking at it all morning! There's no one else but you!"
It's a little slut's mouth, even if others are not used to it, they don't want to cause trouble, after all This boss is very fierce, he does not want to ask for trouble.
"That's right, the widow is almost gone for a few days. If she wants to taste the fish, she can only steal the meat from her own daughter. Those little ones are still so young..." "Stop talking,
the widow's husband is dead. I can give birth to a few more children, maybe they have that kind of disease, this little one is in front of the bed all day, maybe also contracted that kind of disease, let's stay away..." As soon as these words came out, everyone backed
away After a few steps, Lin Huiru was the only one who was close to the little girl. Hearing that she might be ill, the butcher also took a few steps back, still cursing, "Stay away from me! If you sell your little ones, you have to pay for the meat! If you don't pay, I will burn your shabby place to give your mother a ride! Bah! It's bad luck!"
Lin Huiru paid attention to the appearance of the little girl. There was no erythema or scratch on her body. Except for being a little thinner, she didn't look like there was anything wrong with her. She was really a bunch of ignorant people.
But this move shocked the little girl, and she was crying so hard that she couldn't speak.
Lin Huiru had experienced verbal violence thoroughly, and looked at the butcher shop owner coldly and asked, "How much is the piece of meat that fell off?" "What's the matter? I still want to be brave.
" He didn't want to stay in virtue, but then he thought that if Lin Huiru could pay the money, it would save him a lot of trouble, so he stretched out two fingers, "I can sell this big piece of meat for two hundred coins at least! "
A person who can talk about selling children to pay back the money is such a good person. Lin Hui took out the money bag, counted out two hundred coins, and simply threw it to the boss. On the ground, she didn't understand, "Speak no virtue, be careful to close the door."
Lin Huiru ignored the butcher shop owner's cursing, and led the little girl out of the crowd.
In front of the promenade and waterside pavilion, the girl cried for a long time before she opened her swollen eyes and thanked Lin Huiru, "Thank you... thank you sister, but I... really don't have any money to pay you back now. When I can work, I will definitely pay you back." Send the money to the door."
"No, what they said about your family's situation...is it true?" Lin Huiru was a little careful just listening to those people's harsh words, and she was still a half-grown child. He suffered all of this.
The little girl vigilantly thought that Lin Huiru would be worried about her mother's illness, so she hurriedly explained, "No, my mother is sick, but it's just a cold.
" She was skeptical, she just wanted to hear the truth, so as to help this child who was a little far away from her.
"Yes, it's just a cold...Because I couldn't get the medicine, my mother had a high fever, so it might be serious...but it's definitely not that kind..." The little girl hurriedly waved her hands and explained.
Lin Huiru nodded, "I see, I still have some money. You can take it to see your mother. I heard that you have younger brothers and sisters, right? If you lose your mother, life must be very difficult, right?"
" No, no, no... I can't accept this, I will work myself to earn enough for my mother's medical expenses, just now, sister, you have already paid me the meat money, and I can't let you spend any more." The little girl was very sensible, and kept She evaded, but there was a hint of sadness between her brows, how could she save enough.
Chapter 49
Lin Huiru also knew very well that when the little girl earned enough money, her mother might not have the energy to live until then.
"Take it, tell me your name. When you have some money, come to the newly opened hotpot Chuan Chuan to ask me to pay back the money." Lin Huiru forced the money bag into the little girl's arms. Originally, I didn't like to bring too much money with me when I went out, and I only had more than a hundred cash in it, so it should be enough to see a doctor.
"I...my name is Cuiyu...thank you sister, thank you sister!" Cuiyu stammered her name, her eyes once again filled with tears.
Lin Huiru rubbed her hair, "Okay, don't cry, you won't be able to open your eyes if you cry again, what should you do if you lose money along the way?
" Tightening the purse, he quickly waved his hand, "No, I will definitely keep it safe, and I will definitely pay you back, but it may take a while..." "It's okay, as long as
my shop is here, you can come to me at any time " Lin Huiru patted her on the shoulder, thinking that the patient should not delay, and urged, "Go back quickly, your mother and younger brother are still waiting, if you have anything, you can come to Hotpot Chuanchuan to find me. "
Well! Sister, wait! I will definitely come back and pay back the money!" Cuiyu nodded vigorously, and then ran away with the money bag in her pocket.
Lin Huiru looked at her back and sighed, turned around and dismissed the matter. She went to the hot pot skewer shop and explained to the invited craftsmen what she wanted. Nothing happened, she was in a daze from dawn to dark.
When she came to the store the next day, Zhao Xing came to her in a daze and lowered his voice, saying someone was looking for her.
Curious, Lin Huiru followed him to the backyard, and saw five or six children, only one of whom she knew, and that was Cuiyu.
Cuiyu's eyes were still so swollen, and she was still clutching the money bag tightly in her hand. Seeing the children in front of her with their heads down and their eyes red, Lin Huiru almost knew what happened.
"My condolences." Lin Huiru didn't take the purse, but held Cuiyu in her arms and gently patted her head.
"Yesterday I went back late...the doctor couldn't do anything about it." Cuiyu said with a choked voice, then wiped away her tears, not daring to let them fall on Lin Huiru, "But this is good, mother won't have to work hard to raise us."
Seeing how sensible this child is, Lin Huiru couldn't help but feel a sore nose, "Your mother will be very pleased in heaven if you are so sensible." "My mother has been slandered all her life. Actually,
my brothers and sisters are The beggar she brought back from outside, mother, she actually made herself sick because of working day and night, and now she will definitely go to heaven." Cuiyu comforted herself in this way, and some children behind her also let out a sigh A soft sob.
"Well, I will. Kind people will be either rich or noble in their next life, so what are you going to do in the future?" Lin Huiru asked Cuiyu, patting Cuiyu's back lightly.
Cuiyu took a step back when she heard the words, and knelt down to Lin Huiru, "Sister, I know I shouldn't bother you anymore, but I want a job to take care of them, even if it's washing dishes, we can do it for a month. Just sixty renminbi is enough."
Seeing Cuiyu knelt down, the others behind him also knelt down together, "Sister, we don't have much to eat, and one steamed bun is enough for two of us." "Sister, there is no other place
. Let us work, please."
"Sister, we must be obedient and repay you well in the future."
Seeing this scene, Lin Huiru couldn't keep her composure, and stepped forward with a sigh Helped Cuiyu up, "Don't be like this, I will find a way, your grades are too young, so it's fine to work." "
Boss, I and the others are also sorry, I just happen to have no children at home, so I can help bring a few "An aunt who works here is also a widow, and has no children, and there is no one in the family. When she came to the back kitchen to deliver things, her nose was sour when she saw this scene, and she also came to plead.
Lin Huiru looked back at Aunt Zou in surprise, "Aunt Zou, you don't have to do this, and I have no intention of driving them away."
"Kowtow to my sister to thank her, she is willing to give us work!" Cuiyu reacted very quickly this time, and the children in the back kowtowed to Lin Huiru in unison, and said unevenly, "Thank you, sister."
This scene made Lin Huiru helpless, she looked around for a week, and finally made up her mind, "Okay, you all get up first, and we will discuss what we want you to do later.
" Be kind, and you will definitely be a noble person who will become rich and powerful in the future." Aunt Zou was also happy for these children, and came up to express her gratitude.
Lin Huiru was a little embarrassed by the praise, so she smiled helplessly, "Don't say that, but there is indeed a shortage of people here. I think it's a good thing to be left and right. In the future, Aunt Zou, you will come to the front and help in the kitchen, and they will help you." Just do some dishwashing work, and I can only pay according to one person's wages."
Lin Huiru has 200 Wen a month here, and the children's expenses are not big, and the 200 Wen is enough.
"Girl, thank you, my boss. Our salary here is two hundred Wen a month." Aunt Zou happily pulled La Cuiyu's arm.
Cuiyu opened her mouth in surprise when she heard the words, and hurriedly bowed to Lin Huiru again, "Thank you sister, no, thank you boss!
" This storage room is empty, I'm afraid I can't live in it."
"It's okay, my dead husband left me a fairly spacious house, enough for a few of them to live in, and it's not far from here. The little one can still stay at home, but I have been lonely for several years, and I also want to have a lively home." Aunt Zou looked at Cuiyu lovingly, patted her on the back and said.
Lin Huiru nodded. She didn't know about Aunt Zou's situation, and she was a little surprised when she heard it, "Okay, then I'll trouble you, and we will provide a meal for lunch and evening." "Hey! It's okay
! My boss is kind!" Aunt Zou smiled, and then she remembered what she was doing here, flustered and hurriedly said goodbye, "I'm still busy ahead, I'll go back first, girl, you must be obedient."
"Thank you, auntie." Cuiyu's eyes were full of gratitude, and Lin Huiru was afraid that the girl would kneel down again if she didn't pay attention.
Lin Huiru remembered the situation of the family before, and asked just to be on the safe side, "Is there anyone here who is not feeling well? Of course? If you are sick, you can't delay it. You have to be cured before you can work well. "
Chapter 50
Hearing this, Cuiyu shook her head, "No, don't worry, my master, they are definitely not sick, and mother is also afraid of infecting us, so don't let us get too close." "Okay, but just to be on the safe side, I'll ask the doctor to show
you " Lin Huiru said softly, after all, she is in the catering industry, so it's better to be on the safe side.
After finishing the matter on Cuiyu's side, Lin Huiru went to Porcelain Workshop to order some cups specially used for serving milk tea, and planned to try it in the hot pot skewer shop first.
After a day of busy work, she was exhausted physically and mentally, so she returned home and told the story, and as expected, Qi Hehua, who became a mother, was worried, "Hey, it's all hard work, that one I have also heard about Widow Tian. Her former husband used to drink heavily and gamble. He liked to linger in those dirty places. Widow Tian's question really irritates me to death."
"Mother, how much do you know about them?" Lin Huiru asked after sending a chopstick to his mouth after seeing the sensible children suffer the most. .
Qi Hehua thought for a while, "I heard that man always asked Widow Tian for money, and if he didn't want to, he would beat him. The child named Cuiyu was almost sold by him, and the widow redeemed him with the dowry at the bottom of the box. What a crime."
"After that man died, Widow Tian began to take in other people's children to raise them, and those people in the village were beasts with bad mouths, and they spread the word. I'm not afraid of being punished by heaven." Qi Hehua also growled angrily as she spoke, her brows furrowed tightly.
These things made Lin Huiru angry, but it's a pity that a broken mouth will never be sentenced to punishment.
The next day, Ge Lan and Lin Yaoyao got together, and Lin Yaoyao happened to be there that day about Cuiyu. These two people who didn't like Lin Huiru got together, but they talked about some topics.
"You said that Lin Huiru raised those children, but is it true?" Ge Lan asked gossipingly while eating her own sugar cake.
Lin Yaoyao nodded emphatically. She also ate the cake that Ge Lan handed over, and she was very sure of the fact that she saw Cuiyu taking the child into the hot pot, "Of course, I saw it with my own eyes. If it's fake, I'll swallow a thousand needles!"
"I'll definitely believe you, she adopts those dirty children, who would dare to go to the hot pot to eat?" A trace of evil thoughts arose in Ge Lan's heart, In order to hit Lin Huiru, she has already resorted to all means.
For Lin Huiru's hot pot skewers, which are popular every day, the Lin family is of course envious and jealous, especially when Lin Dashan heard about this, he was patriarchal, and he said lightly to Lin Yaoyao when he had nothing to do, but it made her angry no.
"If the big guys know about this, let's see who dares to go to her shop!" Lin Yaoyao was blunt and thoughtless, and when he said this, it was exactly what Gu Lan wanted.
Ge Lan smiled, and secretly said that she succeeded, "Sure, she has such a good business, she will definitely want to come to us to show off, especially I heard that your father always mentions this matter, she is just a bastard, how can you Compared with you, Yao Yao, and this matter is sorry to everyone, we must make this matter public, so as to save them from being harmed by this bitch Lin Huiru." "Who was harmed by who?" A male voice said abruptly,
Ge Lan shuddered at the sound.
Ge Lan and Lin Yaoyao turned their heads in a hurry, and saw Xu Ziqiao standing aside with a gloomy expression, and even frowned, "What are you talking about?"
This sound rekindled hope in Ge Lan's heart, since Xu Ziqiao If you ask again, it means that he didn't hear what they said clearly.
But Xu Ziqiao was not a fool, Ge Lan glanced at Lin Yaoyao who was beside him with a pale face, and thought of a plan.
She pushed Lin Yaoyao, and whispered in her ear, "Hurry up, brother Xu and I have a better relationship. If you explain it, I shouldn't blame you. Otherwise, it will be hard for you if it spreads to your family."
Lin Yaoyao panicked when she heard the complaint. Seeing Ge Lan's serious appearance, she felt grateful and nodded heavily, "Thank you!"
After watching Lin Yaoyao run away in a panic, Ge Lan put a triumphant smile on her lips where Xu Ziqiao couldn't see, and when she turned back, she already had a trace of grievance on her face, "Brother Xu, don't blame me. Lin Yaoyao, the matter of the Lin family has still had a great impact on Yaoyao, and I am trying to persuade her not to listen to the wind and the rain, so please don't blame her."
Xu Ziqiao is indeed new here, although for Ge He heard Lan's words with some doubts, but he really heard Gu Lan say the word "slut".
Xu Ziqiao moved a little further away from Ge Lan calmly, "Well, that's good, I also know about Xiaoru taking in those children, but she hired a doctor, and those children are fine, besides, they were adopted by an aunt , this matter has nothing to do with the store."
Although Gu Lan was very jealous that Xu Ziqiao excused Lin Huiru so much, she still nodded in a pretended sensible way, "Well, I believe that shaking her is not bad, it's just the same. Worry about other people, after all, many people know about Auntie Tian..."
"Don't always try to get to know someone you don't know well through other people's mouths." Xu Ziqiao frowned. suspect.
It was only then that Ge Lan realized that his character design had collapsed, and he cleared his throat quickly, with a look of panic on his face, "Hmm! I will definitely not be like this in the future, I just feel that Aunt Tian is very pitiful, and so are those children. ...In comparison, we are all so happy."
"Well, it's good that you have such a kind heart." Xu Ziqiao perfunctorily responded, he was in a hurry to go to school, and felt that he heard Lin Huiru's name before he listened.
"Yeah, I've always been kind. Brother Xu, where are you going? Are you going to school? I'll go with you." Ge Lan wished to be with Xu Ziqiao every day, and she didn't want to miss this chance to get along. .
Lin Huiru's face suddenly appeared in Xu Ziqiao's mind, as well as the words that men and women could not kiss each other, so she shook her head and refused, "No, I will be there soon. Your shop is very busy. You still Stay home and help, your parents will be very pleased."
After talking about Xu Ziqiao, she left without looking back. Gu Lan was a little disappointed, but also a little entangled in Lin Huiru's willingness to raise a child other than her own. She didn't want to let go of this opportunity to tarnish Lin Huiru's reputation, but She also didn't want to make Xu Ziqiao angry because of this. After all, Xu Ziqiao knew about this matter. After thinking about it, she was very troubled.
