I have a mall space system, raise the baby first and then fight

As she spoke, Shen Lianxin handed over a silver note worth 50 taels.

Zhang Gong quickly took it and smiled even more. "Oh, 30% of the deposit will be enough. This is really a lot."

Having said that, there was no intention of returning the hand. Shen Lianxin smiled and said, "I trust the people I employ. I trust Engineer Zhang. This house must be completed as soon as possible."

Engineer Zhang put the banknote into his pocket and patted his chest, "Two months, two months to finish the work. No ambiguity."

Shen Lianxin frowned, "1 month."

Engineer Zhang thought for a moment, "The fastest is one and a half months. Madam Shen, building a house is different from other things. We earn money with conscience. I have taken your money, but I have to guarantee the quality. If you rush the work, the quality will be hard to guarantee."

Shen Lianxin felt that Zhang Gong's words proved that he was a good person, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll do as you say. I'll pay the remaining money after the work is completed."

The house issue was finalized, and Shen Lianxin's big deal was finally put to rest.

She was in a good mood. Now she was making a lot of money and had a house and a car. Oh, no, she didn't have a car yet. Cars in this era were horse-drawn and ox-drawn carts. She couldn't ride a horse, so forget about the car.

It's good to live a comfortable life like this in old age. When her big house is built, she will return to Yunshan Village. Yunshan Village has a good environment, beautiful scenery, and simple folk customs, which is what Shen Lianxin likes.

When I returned to the restaurant, it was not dinner time, but there were only three or five tables of customers.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a familiar figure, it was Li Xinghe whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

There were 8 people at the table. Li Xinghe sat in the middle of it, looking reserved and frowning slightly.

A fat guy in blue clothes at the same table laughed and said, "Come on, everyone, don't be polite. Today I'm treating you. I don't need to tell you how famous Shen's BBQ is, right? Usually you can't eat here without making a reservation. Today we came early and reserved this table. Just order whatever you want. Don't be polite."

The lean black-clothed man had a pointed face and narrowed his small eyes. "Oh, our young master Zhou is still open-minded, generous and magnanimous. Among our classmates, you are the most generous."

"Yes, yes, yes, today I toast to you, and we won't leave until we are drunk. Have you heard? The owner of Shen's BBQ has a powerful background, and she is a sister of the prefect's wife!"

"Li Xinghe, why are you silent? Are you looking down on Master Zhou?"

"He's a poor scholar, and the reason he can continue his studies is because of the teacher's care. How can he look down on others? I'm afraid you haven't even eaten the meat barbecued by Shen's? Hahaha!"

Everyone burst into laughter. Li Xinghe looked unhappy and stood up to leave.

A man in dark blue brocade clothes beside him stopped him and said, "Xinghe, don't pay attention to it. Students are judged by their talents. It's hard for a person with money to get into a high position."

"Zhao Zhiting, why do you have to defend him everywhere? With his talent, he needs money to go to high school."

"Li Xinghe, if you join my family, I promise to fully support you in going to Beijing to take the exam. How about that?"

As they talked, the waiters started to serve the skewers one after another, and everyone stopped talking. "Come on, this barbecue tastes amazing. Eat, it's my treat, don't hesitate."

Everyone praised the dish again, the aroma of the meat wafted around, and they couldn't help but start eating the skewers.

Although the meat is delicious, scholars still need to remain elegant, use chopsticks to put the meat into the bowl, and then pick up the meat and eat it bite by bite with chopsticks.

While eating, he praised and even wrote a poem, "A restaurant opened in Yuncheng, Shen's barbecue is famous."

"Good! Good poem!"

The corners of Zhao Zhiting's mouth twitched. What the hell is going on? "Xinghe, sing a song."

Li Xinghe took a bite of the meat, paused, and said, "Invite friends to sit in the tavern, the aroma of meat will fill the whole city. Roast it, grill it, and the gentleman will have wine, so he can serve it with wine."

Zhao Zhiting's eyes lit up and he was the first to applaud, "Good, good poem, this is a good poem."

Several classmates praised him, and the thin man glared at them.

"What's so great about that? No matter how talented you are, you can't leave Yuncheng. At most, you'll be a poor scholar."

Li Xinghe rolled his eyes at him and ignored him, "A gentleman does not fight with a villain, and a villain does not enter a prestigious hall."

The thin man stood up and said, "Who are you calling a villain? You can't even afford a meal, yet you look down on me? If it weren't for Young Master Zhou's banquet today, you would never be able to eat such delicious food in your life."

Li Xinghe was not to be outdone, "The delicacies I have tasted are rare in this world, and they are more than just barbecue."

"You're bragging! You can't even eat, so what else can you eat? What? Even Li Xinghe, who is the most upright and noble, is bragging?"

"I'm not bragging, the cakes and pastries my sister brought me are the most delicious in the world, and there's also Coke!"

The two of them argued until their faces turned red. Shen Lianxin hurried over and smiled, "Xinghe?"

Seeing Shen Lianxin, Li Xinghe's eyes lit up! He quickly walked out from his seat, "Sister!"

Shen Lianxin patted his shoulder and said, "You brought your friends here without telling me. This table is mine."

Shen Lianxin waved her hand, and the waiter came over quickly, "Boss!"

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned. Is this the owner of Shen’s BBQ?

Li Xinghe was even more confused. The sister he recognized turned out to be the owner of Shen's BBQ.

"Give me 50 more skewers of beef and mutton for this table, and two more pitchers of beer. Xinghe is my brother, so whenever he brings his friends over, they can get free meals!"

When the waiter heard this, he bowed to Li Xinghe and quickly served him a few side dishes and meat skewers!

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. The thin man who had just called Li Xinghe a poor scholar looked embarrassed. He lowered his head and said nothing.

Shen Lianxin looked at everyone, and everyone stood up, "Boss Shen!"

"Thank you all for taking care of Xinghe during these years in the academy. If you want to eat skewers in the future, just let Xinghe bring you there. There is always a place. Everyone, eat and drink well. If there is not enough, just order more. It will all be on me."

Shen Lianxin was generous and everyone thanked her. Shen Lianxin patted Li Xinghe and said, "You greet your friends, I'll go to the backyard. Find me in the backyard after the meeting!"

After nodding, Shen Lianxin left.

"That's not nice of you, Li Xinghe. Your sister is actually the owner of Shen's BBQ. Why didn't you tell me about it?"

"That's right, you have such a rich sister, why are you pretending to be poor in front of us?"

"Are you afraid that we will eat you?"

Li Xinghe didn't react for a moment, "No, I, I..."

After a long time of asking me but no one came out, Zhao Zhiting rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, you don't know what Xinghe looks like? This must be a distant relative, we just recognized him!"

Li Xinghe nodded quickly, "Yes, the sister I just recognized!"

Everyone looked at them strangely, "Recognized? You are really good at recognizing someone, and you recognized such a rich sister!"

"Xinghe, ask your sister if she still needs a brother?"

Li Xinghe...

Li Xinghe picked up a skewer of meat and stuffed it into the other person's mouth, "Eat it quickly, eating won't stop your mouth!"

Everyone laughed. The atmosphere became more harmonious, and the people who had originally made fun of Li Xinghe changed their tone and turned from sarcasm to compliments.
