Chapter 191 Matchmaking
When Liu faked her death and left Qizhou County, she discovered the scar on Daya's left cheek when she went to Yihongyuan in the next county to look for her.
Looking at the scar, she couldn't stop crying. It was all because of her being useless as a mother and failing to protect Daya, which caused her great injustice.
Daya reached out and wiped the tears from Liu's face, telling her not to cry, but her sensible behavior made Liu feel even more distressed.
She used silver to redeem Daya. Because Daya's face was disfigured and she was thin, she did mostly dirty and tiring work in Yihongyuan. Liu easily redeemed Daya, and the few of them eventually settled in Huizhou City.
Although she later received a letter from Miss Ji and learned about the tragic fate of the Liu family, that the family was driven out, all their money was cheated away, and they didn't even have a place to live, she still felt a little angry in her heart. If it weren't for the Liu family, how could Daya be like this?
But he didn't dare to go back easily, for fear of meeting that family again and being harassed by them.
I was thinking about giving Miss Ji a gift during the New Year, but I didn't expect to meet her on the streets of Huizhou City.
It can be said that without Miss Ji, there would be no scene of the three of them, mother and daughter, getting together today.
"Daya, this Miss Ji is our savior. What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and thank her." Liu explained the other party's identity to Daya.
After hearing this, Daya, who had wanted to hide, came out from behind Liu and looked at the group of people timidly, but she also knew how much Ji Zhisui had done for her.
Her mother had mentioned before that it was this Miss Ji who helped them escape from the Liu family and allowed her mother to redeem herself from the Yihong Courtyard.
Daya was about to kowtow when she was discovered by Ji Zhisui. She did not feel that she had done anything worthy of kowtow and stopped Daya, saying that she could not bear such a great gift.
Seeing this, Daya could only bow and express her gratitude.
Since Miss Ji came to Huizhou, Liu insisted on taking everyone there for a meal to show her hospitality.
Lin Dabiao looked at Miss Ji who was about to be seduced, but he did not forget the task his master had given him. He said repeatedly: "Miss Ji, my master is still waiting for you at the inn! Since we know each other, let's go to our inn for dinner."
Ji Zhisui naturally couldn't let Liu treat him to a meal. It wasn't easy for her to make money. After all, she had two children to raise, and the money she earned from the tofu stall was hard-earned.
Since Lin Dabiao said so, she brought Liu's mother, daughter and three others to the Fulai Inn and said, "No need to treat us, just eat and drink with us."
Liu couldn't refuse, so she could only bring her child and Ji Zhisui to Fulai Inn.
At dinner time, Shopkeeper Lin served a lot of fine wine and delicious dishes, some of which were recipes bought from Ji Zhisui.
When Liu saw such a rich and delicious meal on the table, she felt a little frightened and at a loss. She knew that she could eat all these because of Miss Ji.
Liu didn't move her chopsticks, and the other two children didn't dare to move either. Ji Zhisui noticed Liu's nervousness and whispered in her ear, "I've done Shopkeeper Lin a favor, and he wants to repay me. What will he think if you don't eat these? Besides, if you can't finish these, you'll just have to throw them away."
Liu was moved by these words and finally picked up her chopsticks.
At the dinner table, Shopkeeper Lin was particularly enthusiastic. Ji Zhisui pointed at a dish of tofu with egg and said, "Shopkeeper Lin, your tofu is not tender enough. The texture is not as good as I expected."
Shopkeeper Lin had a serious expression on his face, as if he was willing to listen attentively.
"I know a tofu stall that has good tofu."
"Please enlighten me, Miss Ji." Shopkeeper Lin had already guessed something by now. He was afraid that Miss Ji was trying to act as a matchmaker! But he was happy to give her a favor.
It's just a matter of a few plates of tofu. The business these young ladies of the same age bring to me is not worth mentioning at all.
Since Miss Ji wants him to do this favor, Manager Lin is naturally willing to do it.
"The tofu made by the girl next to me is very good. If Shopkeeper Lin needs it, he can go to her house and order it."
Ji Zhisui did not lie. She knew that Liu's tofu was good and they had given her a lot of it.
In addition, she saw that it was not easy for Liu to sell tofu alone, so she thought of introducing her to others. With the stable customer base of Fulai Inn, her family would not have to face so much hardship.
Liu was a little flattered. She didn't expect that the business would fall on her just during a meal. Although she was a little nervous inside, she didn't want to embarrass Miss Ji, so she appeared very calm.
All subsequent transactions between Manager Lin and Liu were concluded at this dinner table.
Afterwards, Ji Zhisui and others did not stay in Huizhou City for too long. They had already purchased everything and planned to return home.
However, the carriage that was carried back contained not only the purchased New Year's goods, but also a lot of things bought by Manager Lin and Mrs. Liu.
The 27th day of the 12th lunar month is the last day for the restaurant to open. It will probably have to wait until the 10th day of the first lunar month before it reopens. After a busy year, Ji Zhisui also plans to give himself a good vacation.
Many diners knew that this was the last day of the year, so the restaurant had more customers than ever and was packed. Everyone enjoyed the delicious food and had a hearty meal. They were reluctant to leave because they knew they wouldn't be able to eat the restaurant's delicious food for the next ten days or so.
As night fell, the customers in the restaurant finally left. Ji Zhisui stretched his arms, and this year's work came to an end.
The success of Baiwei Restaurant today is inseparable from the help of everyone.
As the boss, she naturally would not fail to express her gratitude. She gave red envelopes to everyone who helped in the restaurant, which could be regarded as a reward for their hard work.
Everyone was very happy to receive their wages in advance, but they didn't expect that Boss Ji would give them an extra reward.
Now, everyone was smiling happily, thinking about coming to work in this Baiwei Restaurant again next year.
Boss Ji is kind to everyone and never deducts wages. He even gives out hard work bonuses at the end of the year. Where can you find such a generous boss?
After the restaurant was tidied up, Ji Zhisui locked the main door, and the business for the year came to a temporary end.
After Ji Zhisui returned, he counted the money he had earned again. He no longer counted only copper coins like he did at the beginning, but now he counted silver notes and silver taels.
After counting carefully, they now have savings of several thousand taels.
Of course, this does not include Pei's shop and Pei Ersao's sausage shop. The bulk of the profits from these two shops are in the hands of the two of them.
Ji Zhisui did not hide anything and told the Pei family about his family savings.
Pei Ersao and Pei Shi looked at each other, ran to the room, took out the savings earned from the shop, and handed them all over to Ji Zhisui.
