Traveling through famine years, peasant girls hold space in their hands to store food

Lu Qingqing bought a three-story shop on Qingshui Street at the suggestion of Uncle Ya Xingqi.

There is a two-story restaurant not far from this shop. The previous owner wanted to sell it after his son took it over, otherwise it would be really difficult to buy this restaurant.

Uncle Qi reminded Lu Qingqing that this was a rare opportunity and asked her not to miss it. The restaurant was located on the busiest street with a lot of people.

Lu Qingqing thought that it would be a good idea to open a seafood restaurant since it was so close to the seaside, so she made the decision.

Uncle Qi was so happy to see her that when she was looking for a cook, he called out the best cook in the dental shop.

This man has a weird temper, and he also has a sick wife. Anyone who wants to buy him must bring his wife with him and be responsible for treating her illness. It is also because of this condition that he has never been bought.

"I wonder if you can bring him here for me to take a look. I can write the art of Qihuang." The cook, who was not in a very high mood, was brought out and stood in the yard with his head lowered, saying nothing.

When he heard Lu Qingqing's words, he suddenly raised his head and began to look at it, but his unabashedly excited eyes were blocked by Ling Feng.

The man understood his inappropriate behavior and quickly knelt down and said to Lu Qingqing: "As long as the lady can cure my wife's disease, then I will sell myself to the lady as a cow or a horse."

"I don't need cattle or horses, but I happen to be short of a cook. You bring your wife first and I want to take a look." Lu Qingqing raised the corners of her lips.

The man looked towards Uncle Qi.

"What do you want me to do? Why don't you go quickly?" Uncle Qi said as if he hated iron.

Lu Qingqing pursed her lips and smiled and talked about it with Uncle Qi. He was very different from these people who sold themselves.

"Hey! They are all poor people. If you can help them, please help them."

Lu Qingqing had a new understanding of Uncle Qi, which really didn't match his rough appearance.

During the chat, the cook supported his wife and walked shakily towards the yard. When the two of them were about to kneel down towards Lu Qingqing, she called out softly and waved her hand for him to help the woman forward.

The man carefully supported his wife: "Be careful of the steps."

The two came to Lu Qingqing, and Lu Qingqing motioned to the woman to stretch out her hand. She didn't dislike it at all, and stretched out her hand to put it on the woman's wrist.

The people next to him looked at Lu Qingqing nervously. The cook and his wife looked at each other, and when they were about to speak anxiously, Biyun on the side reached out to stop him. She shook her head at him and told him to wait quietly.

The man did not dare to speak and could only wait for the result quietly.

Lu Qingqing retracted her hand, her slightly frowning eyebrows relaxed, and the man rubbed his hands and stared at her closely.

"I can cure this disease!"

Upon hearing this, the man turned to look at his wife happily, and saw that his wife's eyes were also full of surprise. The two of them knelt down in front of Lu Qingqing with a "pop".

"Please help me, Master!"

The man kowtowed to her sincerely, and Lu Qingqing motioned to Ling Feng to help him up.

"Well, if you guys break it, then I'm doing a loss-making business. I can cure it. It's not a difficult thing. As for you, I want to open a seafood restaurant in Qizhou City. I hope you can I can continue to be a cook.”

The man helped his wife to stand up, leaned over and said respectfully to Lu Qingqing, but only according to the master's orders.

When Lu Qingqing heard that the matter was settled, she turned around and began to settle the money with Uncle Qi beside her.

Uncle Qi was also kind, and in the end he lost fifty taels, and the man's wife didn't have the money to sell herself.

Finally, he told the man to help his master well. This master seemed to be a good person at first glance, and he had not missed it when he saw people.

After leaving the dental shop, Ling Feng first sent his master to a teahouse and met up with Ziyao and the others, while he went to the Yamen to sign the contract with the deed of betrayal and the deed.

Lu Qingqing met Ziyao as soon as they arrived at the teahouse.

"Master, everything has been taken care of. Later, the boy from the shop will help us deliver it outside the city gate."

Ziyao told her master that the prices in Qizhou City were much lower than those in the capital. The store Xie Kui took to find this time was really cheaper.

She also said that she took it upon herself to buy some cotton cloth, some cotton, and some finished quilts. She thought that the master would need cloth to make clothes for the people he bought.

"Well done, Ziyao is becoming more and more thoughtful now."

Lu Qingqing praised her appreciatively. This would save her a lot of trouble, otherwise she would have to make a trip later.

At this time, she looked at Xie Kui: "Master, I just bought a restaurant. Xie Kui, you can go with me later and have a look. From now on, you will be the manager of the restaurant."

Xie Kui didn't expect his master to trust him so much...

"Thank you for your appreciation, Master. I will do my best to look after this restaurant for you. I wonder if the chef needs to be recruited in advance?"

Lu Qingqing smiled slightly and said that the cook had been found and Ling Feng would know when he came back soon.

After finishing her words, Lu Qingqing took out two porcelain bottles from her arms:

"Xie Kui, this one is for you. After taking it, your injuries will be healed. This other one is for the cook's wife. These two people will be handed over to you from now on. After that, you can live with them." In the backyard of the restaurant."

After Lu Qingqing finished speaking, Xie Kui held the two porcelain bottles like treasures, his eyes full of gratitude, and answered his master in a deep voice.

She then asked Ziyao to take out two 500-tael silver notes and hand them to Xie Kui, asking him to find someone to renovate the restaurant. As for the drawings, she asked Ling Feng to send them over tomorrow.

As he was talking, Ling Feng came back and bought another ox cart according to his master's instructions. This ox belonged to a strong man, and it happened to be left in the village for plowing in the future. The ox cart was now filled with the cattle that the master had just bought. servant.

The driver was a man who was good at fisting and kicking, and he was quite talkative.

I used to work as a housekeeper for other people's homes, but later the master offended someone and ruined the family, so these servants were sold to Yaxing and moved to Qizhou City.

"Let's go then, let's go to the restaurant first."

Biyun followed the master and walked towards the outside of the teahouse. Lingfeng led the way towards the restaurant.

Just now, he and the person from Yaxing had found out the location of the restaurant, and soon the carriage drove to the door of the restaurant.

Ling Feng stopped the carriage, and the two maids Ziyao helped their master get out of the carriage. Xie Kui looked at the restaurant in front of him and sighed in his heart. The location is really good. It is not far from the dock. Such a person The traffic volume has also increased a lot.

Passing merchants will also be attracted.
