Chapter 144
In the afternoon, Xiao Yue and the others checked out of the room and gave the inn's waiter some money, asking him to take her away...
In the afternoon, Xiao Yue and her friends checked out of the hotel and gave some money to the waiter of the inn, asking him to deliver their belongings to Yuanju Tower first.
The tall attics in Yuanju Building are private rooms. After they are cleaned up, they will be large enough for four people to stay in.
At that time, you can also find a kitchen in the building to eat, which is very convenient.
It was still early at this time, so Xiao Yue and his companions began to inquire about craftsmen with good reputation in the city, and stopped by the grocery store to buy some daily necessities.
But in the end, I bought a lot of things, but I couldn't find many craftsmen with a good reputation. The only one with both good craftsmanship and a good reputation was too far away.
Xiao Yue felt helpless, and as it was getting late, he decided to go back to Tidal Bay and make plans tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, when the group arrived at the place, they found that the plaque of "Yuanjulou" had been removed, and even all the unwanted things in the store had been moved away.
Such a fast speed...
Xiao Yue felt emotional and looked back at the edge of the beach before entering the store.
There were lanterns and lights everywhere, as well as stalls selling delicious food and special ornaments. There were quite a lot of people, but no one dared to come to this beach.
Xiao Yue recalled asking the Lord of Qingyun City in the morning: Does this beach belong to Yuanju Tower, so they charge an arbitrary fee?
At that time, Yang Ban looked embarrassed and quickly waved his hands to say no, and added that she could do whatever she wanted in the future.
There is no explanation for the charge, or it can no longer be explained.
Xiao Yue sighed inwardly. After all, they had indeed done such a thing and it had left a deep impression on the people.
Fortunately, starting from tomorrow someone will notice that the "Yuanjulou" plaque has disappeared, and naturally someone will come to inquire about the situation, and she will be able to take the opportunity to inform the people in the city that the beach is open.
It can also be regarded as giving Yueting self-help a preliminary publicity in advance.
night.
Xiao Yue sat at the desk, drawing the future layout of the store and the areas that needed major changes.
This is a big project because the Qingyun City branch includes subsequent categories such as breakfast, lunch, local snacks, iced drinks and hot pot.
Fortunately, the site is large enough for renovation and to accommodate customers all day long.
Xiao Yue felt that the more than one thousand taels of silver were well worth it.
The next morning.
Xiao Yue and Fu Xunzhou went out together to find the craftsman who lived on the other side of Qingyun City.
Fang Sanhong and Xu Qingwu stayed in the store to deal with passers-by who came to ask about the situation.
In addition, it would take several days to recruit help, so naturally there had to be someone to guard the huge building.
*
The sunlight went from being slightly warm to being hot. The carriage had traveled a long way and was almost out of the city.
Fortunately, Xiao Yue followed the instructions of the person he asked yesterday and successfully found the location of the craftsmen with an exceptionally large yard and a well-organized staff.
When the craftsmen heard the purpose of the visit and saw the price offered by Xiao Yue, they immediately agreed.
The leader's surname was Xin. She was a woman with beautiful muscular lines and dressed in tight clothes. She patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, I will make sure to follow the blueprint. I won't charge you if there is any deviation! But the project is huge, so you two should wait for me to get ready before we set off together!"
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Sister Xin."
Xiao Yue naturally agreed. Instead of sitting down to drink tea and rest, he strolled around here with Fu Xunzhou.
Then she discovered that even the plaque could be customized!
Xiao Yue's eyes lit up, and she told Sister Xin about this matter as soon as she arrived.
"That's great, I can give you a discount!" Sister Xin was even happier. After asking about the customization details and various requirements, she said word by word: "Yue, Ting, Zi, Zhu, wait, you just said your last name is Xiao?!"
Xiao Yue blinked and smiled slightly: "My last name is Xiao. I heard that Sister Xin's craftsmanship is superb, and I want to open a shop, so I came here."
Open a shop?
What shop?
Yueting self-service!
Sister Xin was so excited that her face turned red. She couldn't speak well and stammered: "You, me, Yue Ting Zi Zi... finally came to save my stomach!"
Later, on the way to Tidal Bay, Xiao Yue learned that Sister Xin had been to Yueting Buffet in Liuyun City before and had an unforgettable meal.
Now I have finally waited for it!
Throughout the craftsmen's location, Sister Xin praised the delicious food as heavenly and unrivaled, making everyone salivate with envy.
Almost a quarter of an hour after they left, the news spread.
Xiao Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and she had a good impression of this cheerful Sister Xin: "It seems that I really came too late, but it will take about a month before the store opens..."
"What's the big deal? I can wait!" Sister Xin clenched her fists and said, "I will take my people to have three meals a day at Yueting buffet!"
Xiao Yue chuckled and stopped hiding: "I mean, I'm hiring people to help, but I'm providing food. I'll be responsible for tonight's dinner!"
"Madam Xiao, you..." Sister Xin's eyes widened: "You really are my long-lost half-sister!"
Xiao Yue's stomach almost hurt from laughing.
——
At the same time, Liuyun City.
Yueting Self-service Home-style Restaurant had just passed its busiest time. Su Xiaoxiao finished preparing the extra dishes and came to the door to chat with Lu Ran.
After chatting for a while, Su Xiaoxiao leaned against the table and sighed.
"It's only been a few days, why do I feel like Sister Xiao and the others have been gone for half a month?"
Lu Ran chuckled.
"And Xiao Lian." Su Xiaoxiao said helplessly: "Why are you so busy these days? I made her favorite dish but she said she didn't have time to come. Did you see anything?"
Lu Ran shook his head: "The last time Xiao Lian came over, I asked indirectly, maybe it was because Mr. Wang was sick, and Wang's father and mother asked her to go to the temple to burn incense and pray for blessings."
Su Xiaoxiao curled her lips: "How shameless!"
"but……"
Just as Lu Ran was about to say something, a group of people who had finished their meal came out of the store, talking about the person they were talking about the last second -
"That girl is really a sinner. I saw her go home this morning. Her parents said they were taking her to the temple to burn incense. Little did they know they were going to sell her off for good luck!"
"What? Why didn't you remind me?"
"How can I explain this? I heard that the man who wants to marry Xiao Lian is rich and powerful..."
The man's voice gradually became weaker, and as soon as he stepped out of the store, he was stopped by two voices at the same time.
"etc!"
"You mean Xiao Lian?"
The man was startled, turned around and saw that it was Lu Ran and Su Xiaoxiao, and replied with a smile: "Yes, yes, it's the little girl selling sugar water opposite you..."
Later, he seemed to remember that he had a good relationship with the women and defended himself.
But Su Xiaoxiao and Lu Ran turned a deaf ear to it and looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.
Before leaving, Xiao Yue reminded them that Xiao Lian was acting strange recently and asked them to pay more attention to the Wang family... Unexpectedly, something really happened!
Lu Ran came back to his senses, and saw Sun Wen coming over from the corner of his eye, and made a prompt decision: "Xiao Xiao, take care of the store, A Wen, follow me!"
"Ah? What's wrong?"
…
In a shabby little house in the north of the city, the sound of loud gongs and drums rang out in the originally quiet alley.
The neighbors all came out to check, but they only saw a group of people tying a struggling girl into a sedan chair.
"Let me go!"
"I have someone I love, I won't marry!"
The girl in a wedding dress shouted, trying not to cry but unable to hold back the sobbing voice.
But no one paid any attention.
Because around the girl, there was a group of people who seemed to be responsible for carrying the sedan chair, but in fact they were all thugs.
As the neighbors were pointing and talking, Wang's father in the crowd looked impatient. He rushed over and covered the girl's mouth and nose with a handkerchief.
After a few breaths, the girl stopped struggling, fell down softly, and was carried into the sedan chair.
The suona sounded again and the sedan chair slowly moved away.
In front of the dilapidated gate, Mr. Wang burst into tears and stared at the group of people walking away.
"Good, good! Our beloved grandson is finally saved. Master Lin will never break his promise to us!"
As he spoke, he pounded his crutch on the ground, and the king's father and mother hurriedly supported him.
"Of course. Who is Master Lin? The fact that he likes Xiao Lian is a blessing that girl earned in her previous life!"
"I wonder if Ah Wei has lost weight. I have to go buy some pork ribs and squab to make soup..."
The accusations from the neighbors around became louder and louder, and suddenly some rotten eggs and vegetable leaves were thrown over.
Wang's father was hit on the head and turned back with his eyes wide open, but he saw two familiar women walking towards him from the other side of the alley. He trembled for some reason.
"Dad, Dad, go back quickly!"
Wang's father suddenly remembered that this was the man who had given him a shoulder throw in the clinic before.
How can this be found!
They hid it very well!
But the three Wang family members were not as active as Sun Wen. She had heard Lu Ran tell the whole story on the way. Seeing this, she rushed forward angrily, kicked open the gate that had just been closed and not locked yet, and grabbed Wang's father by the collar.
"Where's Xiao Lian?!"
Father Wang shuddered and tried to break free, but he felt pain in his knees and fell to his knees screaming in pain.
How could the Queen Mother, who was standing by, bear it no longer and rushed over to strangle Sun Wen.
Lu Ran's brows were stern, but he kicked out anyway.
The couple was no match for them. Mr. Wang was so scared that he dropped his crutches and fell to his knees with weak legs.
"You, what are you doing! Xiao Lian has already gotten into the sedan chair. She wanted to marry into the Lin family of her own accord. You are going too far!"
"You're going too far?" Sun Wen glared at him. "If I hadn't seen that you're an old man, I would have broken your other leg as well! You won't be able to walk for the rest of your life!"
Lu Ran said coldly: "Xiao Lian will never agree, you better explain it clearly, otherwise..."
"ah!"
Wang's father was kicked again. This time he fell to the ground and couldn't stand up. He immediately begged for mercy.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!!"
The intermittent voice of Wang's father echoed in this small alley.
It turned out that ever since Zhihuaijie Wang Wei was taken away by the government, he had not been released because he disobeyed discipline and almost burned down the government office again.
The three members of the Wang family were so worried that they cried and begged for help all day long. They had no time to take care of Xiao Lian.
——But the turning point of things happened to Xiao Lian.
A playboy named Master Lin became interested in Xiao Lian after visiting her dessert shop many times and wanted to marry her.
In addition, he thought of his father who was in declining health, so he decided to have some good luck.
However, Master Lin believed that marriage must be agreed upon by both parents to ward off bad luck, so he came to the door.
But the three members of the Wang family heard from somewhere that the Lin family was wealthy and powerful and had connections with the government, so they immediately said that Xiao Lian did not want a dowry, but only wanted Master Lin to save their Awei.
Master Lin agreed.
The three members of the Wang family went on to say that Xiao Lian had been having a little trouble with her family recently, so they would give them a few days and then ask Master Lin to come to their house in a sedan chair to pick her up. They would then persuade Xiao Lian to change into her wedding dress and get into the sedan chair.
Just like that, the matter was settled.
As for those few days, it was naturally that Old Man Wang pretended to be sick to make Xiao Lian go home, and asked her to burn incense and pray for blessings, so as to relax her vigilance...
Sun Wen's knuckles turned white. She took a deep breath and asked, "How did you get Xiao Lian to get on the sedan?"
"I, I bought some Ecstasy Powder and poured it on the handkerchief..." Wang's father was trembling, and before he could finish his words, he was kicked over by Sun Wen.
This time it was more than one kick, and Sun Wen was crying while kicking.
"brute!!"
Lu Ran looked around at the people who were talking and stopped her: "The wedding procession hasn't gone far yet, let's catch up."
"As for the three of you...if you want to be reunited with your grandson so much, I will grant your wish."
