Chapter 294: Responding to Changes with the Same Sense
After sending Mu Qiu to Yujun Pavilion, Song Yuntang and Tu Shi went to the tavern.
Because business was booming yesterday, Fang Tianci thought today wouldn't be much different, so he asked everyone to prepare more ingredients.
The third cousin who was called over yesterday also came to the shop today.
After all, he is four years older than Song Changbai, and he is more cautious than him in doing things.
After such observation, Song Yuntang discovered another good seedling.
Seeing the booming business at Huajianzui, the Feicuixuan next door might have become anxious, so it immediately lowered the price of the roast duck by three hundred wen today.
Although some people went, many people were extremely disgusted by their behavior of changing their orders every day.
Especially those scholars who are always aloof.
And yesterday many people were attracted by the food at Huajianzui, and for a moment they had no time to consider the roast duck at Feicuixuan next door.
What Song Yuntang didn't expect was.
After Chef Zhang left, the apprentice who had betrayed him did not inherit his entire legacy.
On that day, many customers left after tasting the food he cooked, saying that they would never come again.
The current shopkeeper of Feicuixuan became anxious and quickly sent someone to invite Chef Zhang back. However, Chef Zhang had already given up the house he rented in the town and planned to go back to his hometown for two days before going to the county town with Shopkeeper Miao. Naturally, he would not agree to go back to Feicuixuan.
Feicuixuan suffered the consequences of its own actions and its business plummeted, and it is now worse than when Manager Miao was around.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the shopkeeper went to the county town in person and spent a lot of money to hire a chef, which slightly eased the current situation.
But because of what he did, the business in the shop is not as good as before he came.
…
In three or four days, Xu Wencheng and his colleagues had collected all the evidence of the Huang family's crimes.
Over the years, more than sixty families have been persecuted by the Huang family.
The remaining more than 40 companies were willing to cooperate with them and sign a joint letter.
Song Yuntang took the joint letter, agreed on a time with the people from the more than 40 families, and went to the county town.
Xu Qingye didn't know she was coming.
Now, except for lunch and dinner, I spend the rest of my time studying in Tang Mansion.
When I got home at noon that day, I saw smoke coming from the backyard and thought there was a fire in the kitchen.
I carried the bucket to the backyard and found a familiar figure standing in the kitchen.
"Tang'er?"
Song Yuntang turned his head and saw the girl with bright eyes and white teeth, smiling sweetly.
"I told Aunt Wu that she doesn't need to deliver food to our house today. I bought some vegetables on the way back. You take a rest first, it will be ready soon."
Xu Qingye did not go to rest. He put down the bucket and hurried into the kitchen to help.
Song Yuntang pushed him out.
"We have to go to Tang Mansion this afternoon, so don't get stained with fumes."
Xu Qingye held her hand and led her back into the kitchen.
"No problem."
Looking at the two people holding hands, Song Yuntang couldn't help but think, Xu Qingye should still care about her a little in his heart, right?
For lunch, I made braised pork, pickled cabbage and scrambled eggs with leeks.
As soon as the food was served, Xu Qingye picked up two pieces of braised pork for her.
"Have you explained everything about the town?"
"It won't be a problem in the short term, and the county town is not too far from the town. I've asked Brother Mazi to get me another carriage when he's free, and then I'll buy a mule, so I can go back and take a look when I'm free."
As she spoke, she picked up one of the pieces of braised pork and put it into her mouth.
Sweet and delicious.
While eating, I couldn't help but squint my eyes.
Seeing this, Xu Qingye couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips and picked up another piece for her.
"If you like it, eat more."
Song Yuntang also picked up a piece for him.
"You can eat too." She said with a smile, "I built five pig pens on my farm some time ago and bought twenty piglets to raise. After the New Year, if we want to eat pork, we can ask people to bring it over from the farm."
Not only that, after making an appointment with the owner of the grain and oil shop that day, she spent another two hundred taels of silver in one go and bought two hundred shi of brown rice, fifty shi of white rice, thirty shi of glutinous rice, and forty shi of white flour.
Excluding what had been consumed during this period, the farm had already stored more than 1,200 dan of grain. The two warehouses could no longer hold any more grain than the beds for Tu Shi, Song Jinsheng, and Xu Liangping.
Before she came, she asked the people on the farm to build a few more houses so that they could provide accommodation for everyone when they were busy.
Xu Ayou, the son of Aunt Qian from Lushan Village who had given her two mountain pears, and Fang Miao were arranged by her to work in the tavern.
As for Xu Guixi and Xiaohua, Fang Miao first took a month's salary from them, spending 200 coins a month, and hired a village woman to take care of them until Xu Guixi's leg healed and she could take care of herself.
Although the wages were not high, the work was not heavy and she could earn some income to supplement the family expenses. The old women in the village were also happy about it. They all said that Xu Guixi would become rich by marrying Song Yuntang.
Xu Guixi's leg injury has recovered well. Not only has his sensation fully recovered, but he can now walk slowly with the help of crutches.
Xu Ayou and Fang Miao were arranged to go to the tavern, and with Song Zhiye who went there a few days ago, the tavern is now fully busy.
When the business over there slows down a bit, we can transfer a few experienced people to the county town to help.
After they finished their meal, Xu Qingye collected the dishes and washed them before her.
Song Yuntang was free, so he went to the room.
The bedding on the bed must have just been washed, and you can still smell a faint scent of soapberries.
She took out the notebook hidden under the quilt, lay down on the lounge chair in the yard, and read it with great interest.
Xu Qingye cleaned up the kitchen and stood in the main hall looking towards the yard. He saw the girl smiling with an obsessed look on her face and shook his head helplessly.
He was a little confused.
This kind of storybook doesn't have much content, what's so good about it?
But since she liked it, he wouldn't say much.
"Tang'er, I have to go to Tang Mansion in the afternoon. What are your plans for the afternoon?"
When he saw the exciting part, Song Yuntang couldn't bear to take his eyes off the notebook in his hand.
"I have to go to the government office later."
Xu Qingye was puzzled, "What are you going to do at the government office?"
"I have something to do." She smiled and looked in the direction of Xu Qingye. "Don't worry, go to Tang Mansion. I know everyone in the government office now."
Xu Qingye nodded.
"Okay, then be careful when you go out. If you encounter any problems, you can come to Tang Mansion to find me."
Song Yuntang hummed and turned to look at him.
"By the way, have the Lin family come to see you?"
Xu Qingye was unsure. "I heard from Aunt Wu that someone came to see me when I was on vacation in Lushan Village. I wonder if it was a member of the Lin family."
"That's probably it." Song Yuntang turned back and continued to stare at the notebook in his hand. "We should remain unchanged in the face of all changes. Let's see what they want to do next. I don't think this matter will be so easy to get over."
"Lin Jingyao seems to be in the county recently. Be careful when you go out. If you run into him, stay away from him. It's better to be safe than sorry." Xu Qingye thought for a while, "It would be great if I could find someone to follow you."
