Reborn Farmhouse's Small Restaurant [Wears Book]

Chapter 35

Tao Xiude immediately called the servant who was left behind to inquire.

"I don't know! The slaves really didn't slack off. The slaves have been guarding the door. There are still things in the house for returning home to worship ancestors, as well as gifts for each family. The slaves dare not be lazy! I have never left! I know why this thing is in the house." The servant kneeling on the ground with his forehead pressed to the ground quickly explained.

Tao Xiude did not pursue this, but said, "Who else has come in?"

"The second in the store, he came to change the tea and tidy up the house, but he comes every day at this time!"

Tao Xiu De rubbed his brows, "Called up and asked, maybe he saw something."

"Yes." The

little Er stooped into the room nervously, and bowed to Tao Xiude as soon as he came in, "This is Young Master , do you have anything to do with me?"

"Have you ever entered my house? Have you seen this?" Tao Xiude poked at the white paper and jade pendant that were still on the table, staring at Xiao Er.

Xiao Er looked blank at first, and then seemed to suddenly remember something, and quickly said: "I have seen it. When Xiao Er came to change tea today, I saw it, and it was on your table."

"You can see something strange. Do you know who put this thing in?"

"I don't know!" Little Er waved his hands again and again with a look of panic, "Little, little is just here to change the water, I thought it was yours, but I didn't dare to move it."

Tao Xiude stood up, walked to the windowsill and pushed it, the windowsill was open, that is to say, if it was a martial arts master, it was indeed possible to come in from here without using Through the hallway, it was normal for his servants not to notice in that case.

"Sir, this is the third floor. If you want to sneak into this room through the corridor and place the jade pendant, you must go down from the roof and come in through the window. This person's light skills are not low. It is daytime again, and people come and go on the street. Go, no one found him sneaking in from the top of the building, I'm afraid he is a top expert." The servant standing beside Tao Xiude cupped his hands.

"You said, is there such a master in this small county?" Tao Xiude frowned.

"Sir, the matter of the Chen family is not only in this county, but the whole body is affected by a single hair, the Chen family is actually related to the overall situation of Han County, not to mention the master, it is this jade pendant, I am afraid that it is not ordinary people can get it at will. It's just that I don't know which force inserted in, and the water in this small county is getting more and more muddy."

"Yeah! But the faction that put the jade pendant is obviously also the enemy of the Chen family. Although the purpose is the same for the time being, But this kind of existence that hides its head and shows its tail must be tricky! It is still necessary to find out, so that we can feel at ease." Tao Xiude said, his expression faintly solemn.

"Yes!"

Xiao Er bowed his head and lowered his head for a long time, and finally waited until Tao Xiude waved his hand at will, and then thanked Dade for leaving.

...

how does it feel to get rich overnight? Du Qingchen fell into contemplation with more than one hundred taels of silver notes, and still has a faint sense of unreality. It has been a hard year for a whole year, it is better to sell a recipe! However, selling a son is not a long-term solution. Besides, there are not so many things that he can sell for money in his mind. It is more reliable to work hard to get rich.

Du Qingchen stuffed the banknotes into his clothes. One of the 10 taels of banknotes had already been exchanged for silver, and he was going to take it back to build a house. If you have money, you must live in a good house! When you become a pro, cover it immediately! A well had to be dug in the yard, so that Su Dong would not have to go out to fetch water from the well in the village in the future, which was too far.

right! We also need to cover the toilet and bathroom. If you have money, you must cover the necessary facilities! The yard should be expanded as well. The pepper seeds have already been obtained, but there are not many things. He dare not plant them outside. It is safer to plant them in his own yard.

Anyway, rich! Daughter-in-law can follow him when he gets married!

Du Qingchen gave a rare grin.

After giving the guys a paid vacation, Du Qingchen packed up and returned to Dujia Village.

Du Qingchen has lived in the town for a long time, and he has almost never returned home in the past month. When he went back suddenly, he almost couldn't recognize his home.

"Yo, Brother Qingchen is back and is about to marry a husband, congratulations!" Du Qingchen's family came and went, and when a villager saw Du Qingchen's return, he immediately stepped forward to congratulate him, and Du Qingchen responded with hands.

Father Du was busy commanding, but he didn't see Du Qingchen coming back at all, two wooden houses have been built in the courtyard, just opposite the original firewood house and firewood house, around the main house and the side house, "Father. ." Du Qingchen smiled and walked over to say hello.

"Oh, you're back, I thought I would have to find someone to call you there tomorrow! No matter how important the store is, it doesn't matter how important it is to get married! Hurry up, go to your house and have a look, the groom's clothes are all for you. I'm ready, I can't wait for you to come back! Go and try it out to see if it suits you, and if it doesn't suit you, let your aunt change it for you."

"Got it, I'm not coming back!" Du Qingchen smiled, He was pushed into one of the new houses by Father Du. Inside, the wooden floor is a lot higher than the ground. It is moisture-proof and waterproof. Whether it is used as a firewood house or a study in the future, it is very suitable.

The wooden house was warmed by the sun, and when the window was opened, the sunlight could pour in, and it shone on the floor with some wooden fragrance. Du Qingchen stepped on it, secretly thinking that he could lay a blanket in the future. It must be very comfortable to sit here in the winter leisurely, and lie down and take a nap in the sun.

The house was already furnished, and Du Qingchen's broken cabinets were also moved in. I thought that all his belongings were also in it. Du Qingchen opened his eyes and saw that all his shabby clothes were inside, but there weren't many of them. Aside from the ones he took to the town for a change, there were only two worn-out cotton jackets and a few bunts worn for farm work in the closet.

Du Qingchen closed the cabinet and turned his eyes to the bed. The wooden bed was new, it looked like it was made of leftover wood from the house. The bed was also covered with a new quilt, bright red, very festive.

Is he going to live in a new house tonight? Du Qingchen ticked the corner of his mouth, okay! It's okay to sleep first, Du Qingchen walked over, and finally saw what Father Du said about the groom's clothes, the bright red long gown, um... It's a bit different from what he imagined, but it's okay.

Du Qingchen changed his clothes and went out to show Du's father. Du Qingchen, who was wearing a groom's suit, attracted the attention of the busy villagers in the yard.

"Oh, look at our eldest brother, he's beautiful, just like the person in the painting. When you get married, go out and let your in-laws take a look. You are so handsome, but you can't make your in-laws smile? !" The aunt who was washing vegetables in the yard and preparing for the wedding banquet looked up and laughed and laughed.

Du Qingchen seemed embarrassed to lower his head, walked to Father Du, turned around, and asked expectantly, "Does it fit?"

Father Du smiled and nodded, "It fits, it fits! Your auntie The clothes I made for you really fit!"

"Of course, this was made for my brother Qingchen, how can I not care?"

Du Qingchen turned his head and smiled. Only then did he know who made the new clothes, so he said, "Thank you, Auntie."

"You're polite, aren't you?" The woman was very happy when she heard this.

At night, after the busy villagers had all left, Du Qingchen told Father Du and Du Rulin that he had earned more than a hundred taels by selling his son.

Because the small restaurant was temporarily closed, Du Rulin also came back after school, but the road was a little farther. He used to run a lot, but it was nothing.

Father Du and Du Rulin looked at the silver note that Du Qingchen took out in shock. They were young and old. No matter how old they lived, this was the first time they had seen a real silver note. Use the silver ticket!

Father Du took the silver note handed over by Du Qingchen and groped for a long time, and was silent for a long time.

"Father? What's the matter?" Du Qingchen was afraid that Father Du would have any drastic changes in his mind. If there is another overexcited, sudden illness or something, it would be bad.

"Nothing." Father Du handed the silver note to Du Qingchen, with tears in his eyes, "You take it!"

"Father, aren't you all in charge of the family's money?" Du Qingchen smiled, but he didn't think about it. He must take care of money or something. Anyway, when he wants to spend money, Father Du never refuses, and it is the same in anyone's hands.

"No, I'll leave it to you in the future, you're better than me, better than me!" Father Du raised his hand and patted Du Qingchen's shoulder, pressing down with some force, "I gave birth to a good son!"

"Father. "Du Qingchen is helpless, "Isn't it just a little money! Look at you, what are you feeling!"

"Little money?!" Father Du glared.

Du Qingchen then regained some of the feelings he once had, and chuckled lightly, "Look, this is not very good, what were you doing just now, one or two, I thought you were unhappy, it's time to co-author with you. I can't accept it! Then you have to accept it well. In the future, I will make a lot of money! Not only will I open a restaurant in the town, but I will also open it to the county seat and the provincial capital. In the future, I will be a jinshi in Rulin Examination. Drive to the capital! A lot of money, this one hundred taels of silver will make you speechless, what will happen in the future? Dad, I will give you a box of gold in the future, what will you do when the time comes?"

Du Qingchen smiled . joking, soothing the atmosphere.

Father Du raised his hand and patted Du Qingchen on the shoulder, "People who are about to get married, don't be more solemn! You are joking like a child all day long, and you even drive to the provincial capital. You can take good care of the shops in the town. Yes!"

Du Qingchen nodded with a smile.

Du Rulin looked at Du Qingchen and said, "Brother, on Mr. Tao's side, if you use your recipe, how will you do business in the future? It will affect you?"

Du Qingchen looked back at Du Rulin in surprise. Father Du could only see in front of him. With the hundred taels of silver, he even had a son who was much stronger than him. He wanted to give up his stewardship sovereignty and give him peace of mind, but Du Rulin was not dazzled by the one hundred taels of silver, but thought about it. more long-term.

The little boy has grown up! They all know how to look ahead.

Du Qingchen was very relieved, feeling like a child in my family was just growing up, raised his hand and touched Du Rulin's head, "My brother is thinking about the long-term! I'm not afraid of this, not to mention that I have other recipes, I just don't have any. , I'm not afraid, who is in the restaurant business, and all the dishes are different from other restaurants? Of course, it will still be affected, but it's not a big problem! Don't worry."

Du Rulin nodded, "Actually, my brother was sure at the beginning . I didn't think about selling it, you want to keep it for yourself to make money in the future, I know you don't like this, Mr. Tao must have forced you."

Du Qingchen sighed: "Don't think like that! I really didn't want to sell it at first, but after seeing the one hundred taels of silver note, I really wanted to sell it! Besides, I really don't have enough money now. For the money, after a while, it may take a lot of money..."

"What?" Du Rulin asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing!" Du Qingchen patted Du Rulin on the shoulder, "You just need to go to school well, don't worry about the rest."

Du Rulin lowered his head, noncommittal, when will my brother understand that he also wants to help him and share his burdens heavy burden.

Du Qingchen told Father Du about what he wanted to add to the family. With one hundred taels of silver, Father Du didn't care about the money, and as soon as Du Qingchen said it, he agreed.

"Then dig a well first. It's simple. It's a matter of a day or two. It's just two days. Just in a few days, you'll get married. There are so many meals to do, and you can save someone to fetch water.

" Well, the green bricks have to be pre-ordered first, and we will build a house when we are married. I want to expand our yard. Dad, can we buy the open space around our house? I want to grow some peppers in our yard. "

Is it that Mr. Tao brought over and later bought those spices from Fangzi?"

"Yes, Dad, that stuff is definitely a good thing, and it will spread to our town sooner or later, so we can grab a head start." Father

Du pondered for a while, then nodded, "Okay!"

After deciding what to do, Father Du went out and invited people from the neighboring village to dig wells. The villagers who came to help were still busy. A few days later, when preparing for the wedding, when they saw that Du's father was about to dig a well, they all looked at him in amazement.

"This is amazing. There are three wells in our village. Who is still digging wells in their own yard! A well doesn't cost a few taels of silver! The Du family is really prosperous, how long has it been! I was poor before, so I borrowed it everywhere. Qian went to school for treatment."

"Stop talking! On the big happy day, what do you do when you bring up those past events? You should still think about building a good relationship with the third uncle's family, and see if the Qingchen brothers can take you when they do business in the future. It 's the man of the family."

Du Qingchen heard the villagers' discussion and pretended he didn't hear it. He instructed the well digger to pick a corner and start digging the well, and the yard became busier and busier for a while.

Tao Xiude had already sent people to Baigou to investigate, and sure enough, he found traces of the ground being turned over by Su Junxia who had sprinkled the gravel and hay under it.

"Dig!" Tao Xiude's servant started digging with the dagger he carried with him. Fortunately, this place had just been dug up, so it was very easy to dig. Soon, he pulled out the corpse. After the clothes on the other party's body, he also confirmed the other party's identity, buried the person back, and went back to report to Tao Xiude.

"So, Meng Wen's body is in Baigou. He has been missing for a year. He didn't expect to die in this backcountry." Tao Xiude pondered.

"Yes, son, there are stab wounds on the ribs. Meng Wen's own martial arts are good, I'm afraid he was killed by a master. Moreover, Meng Wen was on official business, but he appeared here, I'm afraid it was also to investigate the Chen family, the servants suspected, Meng Wen It was the Chen family."

"How do you see it?" Tao Xiude asked lightly, flipping the identity jade pendant in his fingers.

"Since it is a burial, it will definitely not be transported to Linxian or further away for burial. The risk of being discovered is too great, so Meng Wen must have died in this county, and in this county, the county chief Incompetent, timid and fearful, it is not worth Meng Wen's investigation, only the Chen family. Moreover, as far as the servants know, before Meng Wen disappeared, he was investigating a case of child abduction and trafficking in another province. Is it right about the Chen family hiding the child?"

The servant cupped his hands and said: "The servant suspects that Meng Wen's investigation has tracked down the Chen family, so he came here to continue the investigation, but was discovered by the Chen family. , but this matter was discovered by a third-party force, and the evidence was hidden, and when the son came, he handed the evidence to the son, and wanted to borrow the hand of the son to get rid of the Chen family!"

Tao Xiude heard the words and went back again. The initial doubts, "You said, who is this third-party force? If he is really so powerful, why didn't he do it himself? He had to wait a year and handed the evidence to me?!"

"This... "..." The servant didn't understand.

"There are experts in this force who can sneak into my room during the day, and there are wise men who can find out the secrets that the Chen family is trying to hide, and they are here!" Tao Xiude frowned slightly, but his eyes were a little bright.

"The son seems to have other doubts?" the servant asked.

"It's just a little bit of suspicion. He shouldn't be able to do such a thing. He's just a smart ordinary person. However, even a little bit of doubt is worth exploring, isn't it?" Tao Xiude chuckled.

The servant bowed his hands and bowed, "Please bring the servants with you. Although this county is small, there are a lot of undercurrents. Please cherish yourself and let the servants protect you."

"Of course I will bring you, otherwise, how would I know who has martial arts? By the way, prepare some gifts, we are going to have a wedding." Tao Xiude put the jade pendant in his arms, got up and smiled.

"Yes."

In Dujia Village, Du Qingchen was packing up the things he was going to bring for his marriage the next day. There was already a pig in the yard, and the cook was sharpening his knives. He was planning to divide it up for the banquet.

"Boss Du, I'm here for a wedding drink!" Tao Xiude walked in with a smile, "You can make me look good here! I asked a lot of people to find your home, oh! It's so lively!"

Tao Xiude took the lead, and the sound came before he entered the door. Du Qingchen had guessed that such a thing would happen, so he was not surprised. He just got up and looked at the door in a dazed way. When he saw someone coming in, he exclaimed, " Mr. Tao, why are you here? Come in!"

Tao Xiude was shocked by the fiery atmosphere as soon as he came in, and then was smothered by the bloody smell of oily smoke in the yard, but thinking of his own purpose, Tao Xiude's feet were still firmly on the ground of Du's courtyard, smiling at Du Qingchen.

Behind Tao Xiude, a sturdy servant who looked like Lianjiazi put on a humble attitude, and handed the gift box to Du Qingchen respectfully, "My son gave it to Mr., I wish Mr. and Mrs. to have a good relationship for a hundred years and give birth to a precious son early."

"You're too polite, it's my honor to come here, young master, where do you need these." Du Qingchen waved his hand embarrassedly.

Suddenly, a noble and precious young man appeared in the yard. For a while, the villagers slowed down, looked at them with curiosity, or hid shyly. The cook stopped cutting pork, and even found a piece of cloth for him. Covering it, I was afraid that I would be shocked by this young man who looked like a rich family.

Du Qingchen invited Tao Xiude into the house. The main room was still the old house of the Du family. The two they added were only bedrooms, so no guests could be invited. The furniture in the main room was also the old old table and chairs. Before I could buy a new one, it was the new bed in Du Qingchen's bedroom. Isn't it also made of wood left over from the house! There is no time for other furniture.

Tao Xiude did not expect the Du family to be so poor. This scene can even be said to be a poverty that Tao Xiude has never seen in his life. After all, he has never stepped into any farmer's house, but he has come in. Tao Xiude Xiude was secretly surprised and didn't say anything.

The servant quickly wiped the stool, but he felt that even if Tao Xiude was wiped, he would not sit on the stool. Sure enough, Tao Xiude would rather stand in a daze than sit down, but just looked back at the courtyard. , as if not seen.

Du Qingchen smiled embarrassedly, and quickly took some clean cloth from the cubicle to make clothes, and then said, "My family is poor, and the son is laughing."

"No, no!" Tao Xiude sat down, "It's my fault. However, it was really unexpected. I thought that with the brain of Boss Du, although he was not rich, he was already a rich household in the village."

"Master, how can it be so easy! I can do a small business. To be suppressed by the Chen family, even the ancestral property has been robbed, the life of ordinary people is not so simple." Du Qingchen sighed and poured tea for Tao Xiude, the shabby rough porcelain bowl Tao Xiude would definitely not be used. Yes, let alone just plain water in the teapot, but it's one thing if Tao Xiude doesn't drink it, and it's another thing if he doesn't pour water.

Tao Xiude pondered for a moment, "Is it so difficult?"

"Yeah! But it's not just in our town. I believe that there are bullies or strong clans in other places. It's not easy for anyone. Do you think I should be a rich household in the village? Actually, yes, my family is indeed a little richer than others. After all, a farmer who can provide for his children to go to a private school is already quite remarkable."

Tao Xiude turned behind him The servant looked puzzled, and the servant nodded slightly, "Sir is right, the children in the village, those who can go to school, are all from good families. The Du family is really good, maybe it's just because there are children who want to go to private schools and spend money Too much, so...it looks a little poorer."

Tao Xiude was shocked, the Du family looks like this, they can even be called a rich family! Are all the people in the world so poor? !
