Monopolize the little widow

Going to the city, the excited two children slept together and chattered non-stop all night. Duoduo had no choice but to tell them that if they didn’t go to bed early, they would have no energy the next day and couldn’t play anything, so they obediently asleep.

Since they can remember, they have never been out of Songjia Village, so why are they unhappy?

Before dawn, Song Bo got up early to go to the city, and there were two well-dressed children standing at the door, and he remembered that they were going to go together in his carriage today.Song Bo patted Xiao Ling'er's head and asked, "Has your second brother woke up?"

"Get up, he went for a run, he should be back by now."

After Song Bai washed up, Mrs. Cuiyun brought the prepared breakfast to the table, including steamed buns, deep-fried dough sticks and soybean milk.Xiao Ling'er likes to eat meat buns, so Mrs. Cuiyun made more meat buns.Song Bo has a lot of things to do today. After going to the Yamen to handle the wasteland transfer, he will go to a hot pot restaurant to explain some matters, and then go to the instant noodle factory to explain matters, and then go to the rice noodle factory to ship the goods. Today there will be three waves of people to pick up the goods.

"Brother, when I grow up, I will help you share the work." Xiao Ling'er said in a ghostly manner, and Rarity seconded that he also wanted to help the elder brother.

"I'm here to help too." Duoduo said seriously.

Song Bo smiled, and patted Rarity's head beside him: "Okay, okay, when you all grow up, come and help big brother."

The family went out and got into the carriage. For convenience, they bought a carriage themselves, so they no longer had to take Song Lang's carriage.The coachman is one of the two servants of the Song family, so the Song family is seriously short of servants to work.Along the way, the children were drowsy and woke up early, and finally they were no match for the sleepy bugs. Song Bo Song Bai smiled and hugged them one by one as they fell asleep.It was three hours away from going to the city, and they should have woken up when they got there.

Relying on his mother, Duoduo also closed his eyes.

"Brother, take a break, I'll call you when you arrive."

"it is good."

The sound of breathing is long.

The brilliance of the sun in the east is gradually spreading, and the surrounding area is gradually brightening. Today is another fine day.Neither hot nor cold, just right.Those who watched the weather went to work in the fields, and the Song family's carriage stopped at the entrance of the hot pot restaurant, and there were some people who looked like servants standing at the entrance.It should be for positioning.

"Elder Master, Second Master, you are here." Song Ming welcomed them in.

The half-pin hot pot in the entire Yezhou City is only their family. There are not many people in the morning, but at noon and dinner time, it is full of people, and those who come later can't get a seat, so they can only wait for the ones in front to finish eating.So when I saw a boy at the door waiting for them to open the shop, I reserved a seat in advance.It's not that Song Bo has never thought about expanding the store, but he is busy and has no time. He came this time to let Song Ming figure it out.In the past three years, he has seen the dedication of Song Ming's family in the store, discussed with Song Bai, and canceled their slave status so that their son can marry a wife.

I also bought a small yard not far from the hot pot restaurant for Song Ming's family to live in. After all, it is impossible to rely on only four of them in the restaurant, and it is a place to live when there are too many people.

Song Ming's family was grateful to Song Bo, and they worked harder. They knew all the big and small things in the store, and Song Bo didn't have to worry about it.

"How many people are there in the store now?" Song Bai asked.

"Go back to the second owner's house, plus the four in my family is sixteen people."

"Is there enough staff?"

On the second floor, there are a lot of customers every day. They all vacated the utility room on the second floor. There are three people who are responsible for the checkout. He and his wife have one who knows how to settle accounts. The two sons manage the first floor. One manages the second floor.There are six chefs in the kitchen, and the remaining five run back and forth to the pot.

"So, the staff is still far from enough."

"Yes."

Song Bo thought for a while: "You can recruit people yourself, recruit more."

"In a few days we will go to Fancheng to open a branch of the hotpot restaurant, and your two sons will go there to help us manage it." Song Bai plans to go to Fancheng to open two branches, also in the hotpot area. Song Lang said that they are Fancheng has opened three branches, and there are many people in Fancheng, so his family can try it.

When Song Ming heard Song Bai's words, he was overjoyed. His two sons will be the shopkeeper in the future, and he still worries about not being able to marry a wife. "Thank you two bosses for looking at my son."

"Oh, by the way, these are my two younger siblings. When you see them in the future, just call them the third young master and the fourth young lady."

"Yes." Wow, they look exactly the same, they are twins!He thought it was the son and daughter of the Dadong family.

Xiao Ling'er couldn't sit still, after a while, she yelled to go out, Song Bai put them down, "I can only stay in the store, I can't find you if I run far away, so I won't take you to play."

"Okay." Ling'er led Rarity and ran out of the house, followed by Duoduo, and the three began to explore the shop.

Three exquisite little dolls appeared in the clerk's sight, and there were two more identical, which caused a commotion. Song Xiu'er had never seen them before, so she thought they were from some other family, but she went up to ask and found out that they were the younger siblings of the owner's family.

"Sister, the kitchen is bigger than ours, what they are cooking smells delicious."

"I don't know, the second brother won't let us into the kitchen." The kitchen is dangerous.

"Oh."

The three children at the door of the kitchen watched, and the kind Song Lu brought them a bowl of cooked fish soup: "Drink and watch."

Xiao Ling'er held Song Lu's hand and took a sip of the fish soup, "It's delicious, big brother, what's this made of?"

"fish."

"But I can't taste fish."

"That's because a special method was used."

"Oh."

Song Bai and Song Bo went downstairs after negotiating, Song Bai went to find the two children, and Song Bo went to the Yamen.They didn't go home to eat at night, they planned to eat at the hot pot restaurant.Afterwards, Song Fu took Mrs. Cuiyun to the tooth shop, and Song Bai took the children to the street to have fun.

People are coming and going on the street, there are countless people hawking, and there are more and more businesses on both sides, with all kinds of things. The person hawking candied haws was blocked by Xiao Linger, who said that this mountain was opened by me, and this road was built by me. I want to pass by from now on, leaving candied haws behind, causing a group of laughter, saying whose child is so cute.

Song Bai estimated that she heard it from the story told by the village chief's grandfather, "The boss gave me three bunches of candied haws."

"okay."

Pay, get candied haws, and share a bunch with each person.

On the way, they also met elder brother Song Lang and his wife. Song Lang accompanied his wife out to buy jewelry today. His father's health is much better and he can walk on the ground. He doesn't need him to take care of him at the bedside. He spends time with his wife when he can spare time.Liu Daizhu wore a light yellow dress today, with makeup on her face, and a frown and a smile, she couldn't tell that she was a mother who already had a child. She was taken care of by her husband along the way, and some passing women couldn't help but envy,

The breeze is gentle and the sun is mild, which is very good.

Song Bai brought the three children into the bookstore, several floors were filled with books, small picture books, novel books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, everything was complete.This is the largest bookstore in Yezhou City, where the scholars of Yezhou City gather.Xiao Ling'er disappeared in a flash, Duoduo took Rui Rui by the hand, and the two little twins followed Song Bai closely for fear of getting lost.

"Boss, where are the pens, inks, papers and inkstones you sell?"

The shopkeeper patiently explained to him what the four floors are for. The first floor is for pens, inks, papers and inkstones. The second and third floors are for collection of books. There are all kinds of books. The fourth floor is for compartments. Some literati like to read books in the bookstore. , the fourth floor is not only quiet, but you can also see the lotus pond not far away. They like to go to the fourth floor.

Song Bai thanked him, and led Ruarui to walk inside. Paper, pen and ink are divided into low grade, medium grade, high grade, low grade paper feels rough, medium smooth, high grade white and smooth, and the price is different. Most literati He likes fine paper, so Song Bai buys medium ones.

"Do you want to buy a small picture book?"

Rarity was puzzled: "Brother, what is a small picture book?"

"My brother will take you to see it." Song Bai went up to the second floor, asked the person in charge of the second floor, and came to the west corner of the third floor. Little Linger at home, they are reading with a small picture book.After choosing an unsealed small picture book for Rarity and Duoduo, I went to the fourth floor to read it.

The upstairs was really clean, except for the occasional sound of flipping books.

"Look slowly, and ask me the words you don't understand."

"it is good."

The two small picture books he chose were about animals and flowers, both of which are children's enlightenment books. With pictures and words, they can understand them better.

"Brother, what kind of animal is this? Rarity has never seen it before." Rarity asked, pointing to the golden dragon on the picture.

"This is a dragon. It is a mythical beast. It is said that there are only dragons in the world of gods, but there are no dragons in reality. It is also a metaphor for His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, the real dragon emperor." Wait, why did the author put the dragon in the animal painting collection? superior?Don't mislead the kids, okay?

Afterwards, Rarity uncovered the four great beasts, all of which are phoenixes.

Song Bai is not calm anymore, if the higher-ups know about this painting collection, they will definitely drag the author out and behead him. Song Bai takes away the book in Ruarui's hand, so he can't show it to him, it's a mistake.If you draw animals, you should draw animals well. What do you do when you draw the four great beasts of dragon and phoenix? Have you ever seen them?

"You and Duoduo look at the flowers together, and my brother will sell you some albums and go home to read."

Xiao Ling'er was still squatting there watching.

"Little Linger, what are you looking at?"

"A little picture book of stories."

"Oh, what are you talking about?"

Xiao Ling'er thought for a while, and said: "It's a story about a fox repaying a kindness. The fox was injured, and a scholar saved the fox. Later, the fox turned into a beauty and fell in love with the scholar. But the ending was not good. Later, a Taoist priest told the scholar that the lady at home is The monster gave the scholar a talisman, and the scholar took the talisman home, and her wife died and turned into a fox."

"Why are you still holding the book after reading it?" Song Bai found the brush in Xiao Ling'er's hand.

"Those who can comment below, many people comment below."

"..." Song Bai took the book in her hand, Xiao Ling'er's comment was a bit...

——Does the fox have a shit, the scholar saved you, and you promised him with your body?You don't love yourself too much. How about your reserve? There are many ways to repay your kindness, okay?

——×, a talisman paper will kill you?Have you practiced for thousands of years?

——Are you blind? The scholar is a scumbag. He only married you because you are beautiful. If you become uglier, he will marry you?What about your IQ?

Song Bai was wrong, he shouldn't ignore Xiao Ling'er's education, she is growing in a crooked direction.
