Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After their uncle and nephew brothers recognized their marriage, a group of neighbors asked Lao Jia, "I don't want to be a disciple now. Do I still have a meal?"

    "Yes, of course!" Lao Jia looked at Zhao Hao and saw Zhao Hao holding his brother's hand affectionately. He smiled at everyone and said, "Today we are reunited as brothers, and we should celebrate it!"

    "Did you hear that?" Old Master Jia smiled at everyone and said, "Let's all go to Wang Fugui's house for a banquet."

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    Wang Fugui runs the only restaurant in Caijia Lane, and Zhao Hao¡¯s family used to order their meals from him.

    Zhao Hao booked the entire restaurant and invited all the neighbors in Caijia Lane to have a drink.  There were only eight or nine square tables in the small restaurant, but Wang Fugui went to borrow a dozen tables and set them up on the street, so that all the neighbors could sit down.

    The food and wine were served in a stream, and there were ten big bowls on each table, each filled with pork head meat, stewed chicken, braised carp, salted duck, tripe, lungs, liver, intestines, etc., not to mention  It¡¯s valuable, but the advantage is that it¡¯s large in quantity and cheap.  As for the taste, it's only slightly better than Fangde's breakfast.

    ¡°But for the people of Caijiaxiang, being able to have a meal at Wang Fugui¡¯s restaurant is already a great enjoyment.

    When Mr. Zhao, his son and Lao Jia were invited to each receive a glass of wine, the neighbors couldn't wait to eat and drink.  After a while, the table and floor were covered with chicken bones, duck wings, and fish bones

    While holding half of the pig's head and chewing it, Fan Datong said to Wang Fugui who came to toast: "What kind of braised pig's head do you have? Is it for human consumption?"

    Wang Fugui cursed secretly, you are the only one who enjoys the meal.  But seeing him sitting at the same table as Zhao Shouzheng and his son, naturally he didn't dare to offend him, so he had to smile awkwardly, finish the toast and run away.

    "People say that when you put down your chopsticks to curse your mother when you pick up the bowl to eat," Zhao Shouzheng rolled his eyes at Fan Datong and said, "You haven't even put down your bowl yet, and you're already scolding your mother."

    "Anyway, your restaurant will be your mortal enemy once it opens, why are you afraid of offending him?" Fan Datong grabbed a handful of peanuts and stuffed them into his mouth, chewing them in an inconspicuous manner.

    When several restaurant shareholders heard this, they looked at each other disapprovingly and smiled.  According to the storybook, he is just a rich man, but he is nothing more than a local chicken and a dog, and he sells Seoul by inserting stickers.  They won't take it seriously at all

    Zhao Hao couldn¡¯t care less about meeting Fan Datong today. He held Zhao Jin¡¯s hand. The older brother on the left has suffered a lot these years. The older brother on the right will have nothing to worry about if he has me in the future.  When the neighbors saw this scene, they couldn't even praise him. Mr. Zhao was so affectionate and righteous at such a young age!

    Can Zhao Hao not hurry up and give Zhao Jin the ecstasy soup?

    After a good apprenticeship, he became a brother. He was still worried that Zhao Jin couldn't handle it. What if he proposed to withdraw his shares?  Not to mention the problem of burning cold stoves, this "extremely delicious" restaurant alone, without the protection of the imperial censor who is about to resurrect, in Nanjing, a city full of powerful people, can't keep it open even if it is opened!

    Fortunately, Zhao Jin seems to value this ancestral relationship more than him. Sometimes he toasts to his uncle, and sometimes clinks glasses with his younger brother, chatting and laughing, as if he is a fish in water, as if he is ten years younger.

    "Brother, I see that your residence is very dilapidated," Zhao Hao asked tentatively, "Why don't you move in with my father and son so that you can take care of it more easily."

    "I'm afraid this is inconvenient." Zhao Jin is quite contradictory. He has lived alone for many years. On the one hand, he longs for family affection, and on the other hand, he naturally wants someone to take care of him.  But after all, I just met a relative and will live in someone else¡¯s house soon, which is not justified in my face.

    "What's the inconvenience?!" Zhao Shouzheng was praised today by his nephew, his elder, and all the neighbors. Hearing this, he belched wine and said, "We'll move here tomorrow. As a family, of course we can all come together."  It¡¯s finished!¡±

    As he spoke, he glared at Zhao Jin and said, "You don't listen to uncle anymore?"

    "Then my nephew will obey" Zhao Jinxin said, okay, let's get off the road.

    The banquet did not disperse until the sun set. Gao Wu and Fan Datong helped Zhao Shouzheng, who was drunk again, back to sleep.  Zhao Jin and Yu Jiachang's father and son went back to pack their luggage, and the others also went back to their homes.

    Old man Gao went to Wang Fugui to settle the account. The twenty or so banquets cost a total of ten taels of silver

    When he reported the debt to Zhao Hao, he felt a heartache.

    "Only ten taels of silver?" Zhao Hao was surprised.  "You served so many dishes and drank so much wine to spend so much money?"

    "Young master is really" Old Man Gao smiled bitterly and said: "In a shabby place like Caijiaxiang, five coins per table is already the limit."

    "What's the profit?" Zhao Hao curled his lips when he heard this and said, "Our taste is very delicious, so we'll tentatively settle on five taels of silver pertable.  "

    "Huh? Five taels?" Old Man Gao almost dropped his jaw in shock.  "How about eating gentian and phoenix marrow?"

    "This is what I have lost sight of. In a decent restaurant in Nancheng, you can't get anything good for only five taels of silver." Zhao Hao imitated Fan Datong's tone.  I felt a bit sad in my heart, but I have never seen it before

    "Uh, okay." Old Man Gao smiled bitterly again: "I can't imagine the life that rich people live."

    "You will be a rich man soon. You will experience it yourself then." Zhao Hao laughed and entered his courtyard.

    They saw Gao Wu standing there with a sad face.

    "What's wrong, my dad vomited?" Zhao Hao asked strangely.

    Gao Wu shook his head and held it in for a long time before saying in a low voice: "Master didn't throw up. We are just worried. Who will we live in the same house with when Mr. Zhao moves here?"

    "Nonsense, why do you still have to live in the same room?" Zhao Hao rolled his eyes and said, "Give him the east wing, and you can live in the west wing, right?"

    "This room can only accommodate a single bed." Before Gao Wu could speak, Zhao Hao heard a weak voice saying: "The big man and I can't squeeze apart"

    "Damn it, why did he forget you again?" Zhao Hao patted his head and said to Fang Wen who was standing behind Gao Wu: "You go ahead and sleep with me."

    Although the store needs to be renovated, there is still a backyard where people can live.  Gao Wu's original room was much better than this west wing room

    ??~~

    That night, Zhao Hao called Old Man Gao into his room, handed him two hundred taels of silver and said:

    "This is the money for the renovation of the restaurant. I know how to save money better than I do. Just use it as you see fit. If you don't have enough, don't tell me."

    "Don't worry, young master. I've been thinking over and over again these days, and I may not be able to spend the two hundred taels." Old Man Gao patted his chest and said, "If it's not enough, I'll give you some extra."

    He didn¡¯t know Zhao Hao¡¯s background, so he thought that the young master only had more than two hundred and fifty taels of silver. If he spent the decoration money, the remaining fifty taels would only be enough for daily expenses.  After the restaurant is renovated, we still have to buy cooking utensils, tableware, tables, chairs and benches, as well as various ingredients and firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are all indispensable. There is no place to spend money.

    "I put my heart back in my heart, I must ensure the quality of the decoration, don't just think about saving money." Zhao Hao said with confidence: "If I am really short of money, I will find a way to make a few hundred taels.  "

    A boy of fourteen or fifteen years old made making money as easy as eating and drinking.

    But Old Man Gao has no doubt that he has this ability.

    "Sure, if you say this, the old man will let go!"

    How did he know that Zhao Hao still had 500 taels left at the bottom of the box?
