Chapter 256 A sudden letter
Widow Gu was impatient. She thought that business was booming and was afraid that others would be jealous and do something bad in the kitchen.
So she picked up the broom by the door without saying a word and rushed in to beat the sneaky "villain".
The one who sneaked in was a half-grown child, only twelve or thirteen years old, how could he be a match for Widow Gu.
After being beaten like this, he was so scared that he ran away, the small pot in his hand fell, his lips were bleeding, and he cried and begged for mercy.
When Feng and others heard the noise and rushed over to inquire, they found out that the child was originally a waiter in a restaurant in the city.
Since I came here with my master to take a hot spring bath, I thought that the pickled crabs would be enough to attract customers, so I wanted to steal some soup from the stove, and study it slowly when I go back, so as to help improve the recent poor business of the restaurant.
Because the widow Gu was scolding and beating, the noise was too loud, and many customers came to watch the excitement.
Fortunately, Mrs. Feng was kind-hearted. Seeing that the waiter was just a child, she did not blame him, and helped him up and told him not to be afraid.
"It seems that you are also thinking about the master, and you are a loyal person, but you can't be so reckless in the future. Go wash your mouth quickly, and let Mrs. Gu serve you a bowl of sour plum soup to calm you down." Mrs. Feng patted his shoulder.
The child was shaking like sieve chaff, and blood was stained on his clothes. When he heard that he would not pursue the matter, he was relieved, wiped his tears and bowed.
Feng didn't want to embarrass him.
After all, the Jiang family was a business, and it was better to make friends than to haggle over small matters. If things could be resolved, there would be no need to start a war.
Otherwise, if they provoked an enemy, it would only cause trouble for the family.
Seeing Feng's generosity and kindness, the guests watching on the side kept nodding in admiration.
"The owner of Xianquanju is a good man. He let it go when he saw that it was a child. It's really rare."
"The waiter of this shop wanted to steal it, but the marinade soup base that people use to make money is a taboo in the eyes of businessmen. If it were another shop, even if he beat him half to death, he would still deserve it."
"That's not the case. That's why we say this family is kind and generous!"
"Let's go, let's go into the lobby and order two pots of tea. Let's not cause trouble for the boss here."
The guests kept praising him, thinking that they would definitely come back again when they have free time in the future.
After all, whoever comes out to eat and stay for a few days hopes that the host can be a kind person, so that they can live at ease.
It's not just these guests who are deeply moved.
Soon, the waiter's master heard the discussion and didn't care about drinking anymore, and hurried over to apologize.
"I'm Qin Bu Tong, doing some business in the city. This time, it's my people who have caused you trouble. It's all our fault." The middle-aged man in a brocade robe and a hairband kept bowing.
Feng didn't blame him. After a few words, she found out that this boss Qin was the owner of Qin Cai Ju, the number one restaurant in Yuncheng.
"It's just that the child made some trouble, but it didn't cause any loss to my family, so it's not a big deal." Feng smiled gently, her tone was very calm.
Qin Bu Tong was infected by Feng's attitude, and he didn't pretend to be polite anymore.
He just patted his chest and said that he would make friends no matter what, and asked the Jiang family to go to Qincaiju for dinner if they had time in the future, without paying any money.
As businessmen, it is good to have more friends and more ways.
Feng readily agreed, turned around, and asked Widow Gu to add two side dishes for Boss Qin's table.
Qin Bu Tong was also a generous person.
He originally planned to take a short break in Xianquanju, soak in the hot spring and stay overnight, but after this incident, he insisted on staying for another three or five days. He
even asked for a superior room for the waiter next to him. After a few days, he spent more than a hundred taels of silver in Xianquanju, which was generous and generous.
After he left, Feng and others looked at the account and realized that Boss Qin was using silver to compensate for that small matter.
But this matter was not serious. The Jiang family had no time to care about it. They just said that the business had been going on for so long that before they knew it, Xianquanju had already had a turnover of nearly ten thousand taels.
After deducting the purchase expenses, decoration expenses, and Yin'er's wages, the Jiang family had a net amount of six or seven thousand taels left in their pockets.
Feng was very happy. She took out the heavy money boxes at the bottom of the box and counted them. She felt so happy that her feet felt light and it felt like she was walking on cotton.
Seeing his mother happy, Xiao Nuobao happily went to please her, hugged Feng's neck and rubbed her, "Mom, you have to spend the money you earn, let's go out and have fun, let's go to the Lantern Festival, okay!"
After all, the Qiqiao Festival was just around the
corner, and the little girl had been looking forward to the Lantern Festival and Temple Fair promised by Mrs. Xiao. She didn't even have to count the days specifically, just looking at the sisters in the village who were waiting to get married, all busy making Qiaoguo, she knew the festival was coming.
Feng knew that she was busy these days, thanks to Li Qiqiao and Yin'er's hard work, and she wanted them to go with her to relax.
Then she pinched the girl's nose and smiled, "Okay, in two days it will be the Qiqiao Festival. Let's go to the city together that day. We won't go home unless we have fun!"
Little Nuobao immediately raised his hands and feet, laughing and shouting, "Then Nuobao wants a big lantern, take the lantern with you!"
Fengze and Xiao Lanyi had just returned from vacation. They smiled at each other and dragged Xiao Fengmiao to the yard. At the request of their sister, they found bamboo strips, rice paste, colored paper and flower cloth, and were about to make lanterns!
Soon, the yard was full of laughter, and they were all arguing about whose lantern Nuobao would not find ugly.
In the inner room, Feng was holding Little Nuobao, and she was also chatting and laughing with her two daughters-in-law, talking about the interesting stories of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.
However, at this moment, a tall and dark figure entered the village and suddenly knocked on the Jiang family's door.
Then, a letter from the capital was delivered to the house, breaking the originally joyful atmosphere...
