My Gentleman Reborn
Chapter 63 Mrs. Lu
The preparations for the opening are not too much, but not too little.
Because He Yuzhou had prepared the menu signs before and hung them above the counter. These signs are the prices of scented tea and scented tea. The tables are all set up, and there is a menu on each table. The names and prices of fruit teas and snacks are on the menus.
A menu of fruit tea and snacks in a larger size was also nailed to the wall behind the counter.
In this way, guests who come in can look at the counter to order, or they can go to the table to look at the menu and order.
The price of scented tea is generally high, and there must not be many people who drink it in the early stage, so there is no need to put a menu on every table.
To sell scented tea, you need to prepare flowers first. Before that, He Yuzhou prepared several flower trays, and transplanted the fancy flowers into the flower trays. Some were placed on the counter, and some were placed in the spare room.
There are also tools for making tea on the counter. If a customer orders scented tea, He Yuzhou will directly brew it for the customer at the counter.
To make these preparations, all you have to do is prepare the things that will be sold on opening day.
Now that the weather is hot, many things cannot be prepared at night, so the next day, He Yuzhou woke up early.
Pound the papaya and mango into a paste, put it in a box and take it directly to the bamboo house, and bring the tea as well.
The hawthorn water and bamboo leaf tea were cooked first, so just move them over.
Some snacks are prepared at night, and some are made early in the morning.
After moving these over the next day, He Yuzhou will wait for the sky to open before officially opening.
This time, he invited Uncle Zhao's family, Aunt Guan's mother and son, Congdi brothers, Zheng Qi, old man Qian, and Jiang Qin who helped him make dishes, a total of ten people.
I also prepared a unique snack and scented tea for their table.
As for the other villagers who will come to watch the fun, He Yuzhou will give each of them a cup of hawthorn water and a steamed bun.
There are also some trial dim sum, which are placed on the counter, cut into small pieces, so that when someone comes in to order and does not know the taste of these dim sum, they can try them.
Since it was just the beginning, He Yuzhou didn't dare to do too much, fearing that it would be wasted if it couldn't be sold.
So I made the three pumpkin snacks that Qin Huan likes - pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin fried sticks, and pumpkin cakes.
An additional taro pie was added.
I made steamed buns, dry pancakes and some stewed meat. I also prepared a few catties of barbecue. These are the meat collected from Zheng Qi, which is wild rabbit meat from the mountain.
The marinade was made by He Yuzhou, and the meat was soaked in the marinade for nearly a night. When I got up in the morning, the meat was full of fragrance, and He Yuzhou didn't throw away the marinade. He put it in a container and prepared it for the next time. This marinade The longer the juice, the more fragrant it becomes.
Nuyi got up to roast the barbecue in the morning, sliced it and placed it on a plate in the spare room of the bamboo house. If anyone wanted it, it would be taken out. A plate was [-] renminbi, and cold ones were [-] renminbi.
The same goes for braised pork.
Three steamed buns.Cake five words.
As for the more distinctive pumpkin pies, taro pies, and hair cakes, they cost twenty cents a piece.
A plate of pumpkin fried sticks costs [-] cents.
Maodou, He Yuzhou made two kinds this time, one is the old man Qian's favorite last time, and a plate is two hundred yuan.
A kind of stewed with a shell that has a spicy flavor, calculated by the catty, five hundred Wen per catty.
He Yuzhou was a little excited and a little nervous about opening this time, after all, this was the teahouse he had always wanted.
The plaque of this bamboo house, which He Yuzhou made more casually, is called Hekou Tea House.
An hour before leaving Zhang, Nu Yi brought Qin Huan and He Yuzhou and opened the door of the teahouse. They invited Zhao Yishu and others in advance, and He Yuzhou hoped that they would be the first guests here.
They were all on time and came together, looking at He Yuzhou's bamboo house, they were a little surprised. Such a beautiful house was built in just a few days, and it was said that they didn't spend any money, so they were all amazed.
He Yuzhou welcomed them in with a smile, but only Zhao Yiyi came to Zhao Yi's family. Aunt Zhao was inconvenient and didn't go out. Xiao Qing helped Aunt Zhao to look after her. Things, He Yuzhou let Nu Yi put them into the room.
He took them into the teahouse by himself.
Everyone entered the house and looked around. This bamboo house is strange and elegant, with two large windows open, allowing plenty of light. The menu board hanging above the counter is very distinctive, with strange patterns on the side and beautiful carvings. What's more rare is The engraving was also copied with colored ink, so that the words engraved on it would not be unclear.
And there is a menu card on each table. This menu card is copied with ink, which is very distinctive.
Zhao Yi stroked the writing on the menu and smiled: "Is this writing from Xiaozhou?"
He Yuzhou replied: "Of course, but this carver is Uncle Jiang, and his carpentry is first-rate."
Jiang Qin is a middle-aged uncle, and his face is full of pride when he hears about it.
He Yuzhou smiled and called them to sit down, asking Nu Yi and Qin Huan to help them serve the snacks they had prepared in advance.
Everything is a dish, and nothing is left behind.
After serving the snacks, He Yuzhou pulled Nu Yi who was about to leave, and said to the people at the table: "It was Yuzhou who was negligent before. He never introduced the new members of my family to everyone, and made everyone worry about me."
"This is Nu Yi, a member of Qi Yan's son's family. Qi Yan went home for the time being. He left in a hurry but didn't have time to say goodbye to everyone. I apologize to everyone on his behalf, and it is also Yuzhou's personal apology. Let Aunt Guan, Uncle Yi, Brother Cong and everyone here worry about me from time to time, Yuzhou will not be there in the future."
I was taken aback, and looked at He Yuzhou in silence, as if I didn't expect him to say such a thing. Zhao Yiwen's eyes were even more complicated, but he was also sincerely happy.
"Xiaozhou has finally grown up too." He sighed.
This 17-year-old girl was penniless when she came here, she didn't like to communicate, and she chose to live in a remote and quiet place, and she didn't care much about the affairs of the village.
For things like building a house, building a well, etc., he would ask someone he knew well.
They have been supporting the girl since she entered the village, but they didn't pay much attention to it, and they helped everyone who could help.
Maybe it's because of the existence of helping him all the time, so if something happens in his house, I can't help worrying about him too much.
But she almost forgot that she is a family of her own, and she also wants to be a little private.
Zhao Yi sighed lightly, saying that she didn't introduce Nu Yi to them, that she didn't explain many things, but why didn't they not, didn't they go beyond the limit if they wanted to know everything about Xiaozhou so thoroughly?
Zhao Yi reflected, and at the same time looked at He Yuzhou with relief.
Now, this girl has really grown up, she will find someone to build a bamboo house by herself, she will make such a big table of snacks to thank them, and she will open such a teahouse to make money to support her family.
Although this is a bit stronger for a girl...
However, this may be the peculiarity of her, she refuses to admit defeat, she wants to stand on her own, instead of looking for someone to marry like most women.
Zhao Yi smiled lightly, and Aunt Guan laughed too, tears welling up in her eyes.
She looked at He Yuzhou and said, "Xiaozhou, you're really well now, my aunt is sincerely happy for you."
He Yuzhou looked at Aunt Guan tenderly, and gently shook her hand. This woman's hands were full of calluses. She had worked hard all her life but her kindness had not been erased. She was still willing to take money from her poor family. Some of them came to help him. If it weren't for Aunt Guan and Guan Dahai, he would never be where he is today.
He Yuzhou looked at Aunt Guan gratefully, touched her wrinkled face, wiped away the tears that flowed from her eyes, and said with a smile: "Ma'am, today is a big day, it's the opening day of my teahouse, don't you worry about it?" Weeping."
Aunt Guan smiled and wiped away her tears: "Yes, look at me."
"Xiaozhou." Congdi called He Yuzhou, and He Yuzhou looked at him.
Cong Di said with admiration, "You are grateful and smart."
"The name of this teahouse also uses the name of Hekou Village. The source of water was found by Mr. Qi Yanqi you brought back, and the method of diverting the water was also invented by you. I will remember your contribution to Hekou Village for the rest of my life. My heartfelt congratulations this time you."
He Yuzhou smiled: "Thank you Brother Cong, my teahouse is now open here, and I hope Brother Cong will take care of you."
"Of course." Cong Di smiled heartily.
"Okay, try them all, how about the dim sum in my teahouse?"
"Hey, little girl, I'm just waiting for you to say this. Old man, I've been looking at this edamame for a long time. I can't forget the last time I ate it." Old man Qian said, immediately picked up the chopsticks, and picked up a grain. The edamame was thrown into his mouth.
He Yuzhou chuckled: "If old man Qian likes it, he will pack some and bring some back later."
Old Uncle Qian smiled: "Of course, you must bring it with you, but you have to accept the money, otherwise the old man would not dare to take it. You are in business."
He Yuzhou responded with a light smile, "Okay."
Zhao Yi looked at He Yuzhou with a faint smile, raised his hand to touch his chin, and nodded.
This Xiaozhou has really changed a lot. To communicate with everyone in the past, it seems that it is beneficial to keep Qin Huan in Xiaozhou. At least he will work hard for Qin Huan. to change.
I should really bring my wife to see him. She always said that Xiaozhou was too lofty, and she would be surprised how approachable he is now.
Xiaoqing should also bring it, the taste of this snack is really good.
"I didn't prepare tea for everyone, because there are different types of tea and different tastes. I can't figure out your preferences. Look at the menu on the table and see what you like to drink. I will make it for you now."
"Oh?" It was Zhao Yishu who was first interested in tea. He already loved tea, and he was even more curious about He Yuzhou's tea.
He took the sign and looked at the varieties engraved on it, and said with some doubts: "Xiaozhou, isn't your specialty scented tea? Why haven't you seen any of them?"
He Yuzhou smiled and said: "Uncle Yi, that scented tea is very troublesome to make, so I set the price a little higher, so I didn't engrave it on this brand. Look at the counter, I hung it there. Uncle Yi, what do you want to drink?" ?”
Zhao Yi raised his head upon hearing this, glanced at the tea cards one by one, and finally ordered Ziyuan tea.
He had heard Lu Zhuoxi mention this tea before, so he was rather curious.
Aunt Guan glanced at the scented tea, a little startled by the price above, so she ordered the papaya black tea on the brand, and the papaya cup tea that Guan Dahai wanted.
Uncle Qian felt a little spicy eating edamame at this time, so he ordered mango tea that seemed to relieve the spiciness.
Everyone else wanted to drink the black tea with lemon that Zhao Yi had mentioned.
He Yuzhou made a note in his heart, and went into the house. The first thing he made was fruit tea, and the papaya was mashed, so it was relatively simple. Just pour it with black tea, because it was summer, and He Yuzhou's black tea was brewed in advance. Yes, drink at this time, the temperature is just right.
The tea in the papaya cup was about to boil, so Wei Wei waited a while before serving it to Guan Dahai.
Uncle Qian’s mango tea is also relatively simple. The mango water is boiled, just add black tea.
The lemon black tea needs to be pounded with lemons. After doing this, He Yuzhou took the time to slowly brew the aster tea that Zhao Yi wanted.
This tea made Uncle Zhao wait for a full moment.
But when he drank it into his mouth, he felt that waiting for this moment was not in vain.
Seeing that they are eating slowly, and the time is about the same.
Because Uncle Zhao and the others entered the door, many villagers had already surrounded the door, some of them knew each other and some of them didn't.
He Yuzhou went out to talk to them and officially opened the store.
Because a steamed bun and a bowl of hawthorn water are given away at the door, many villagers are willing to come in and have a look.
After tasting the hawthorn water here, I think it is good, and I will order some other products to try, so the business is not deserted all of a sudden.
But no one ordered more than [-] Wen. After all, everyone has just passed the drought and their money is limited. So, all of a sudden, taro pies, pumpkin pies, hair cakes, and hawthorn bamboo leaf tea are the best-selling foods. .
Around the time of Shen, the number of talents gradually decreased.
He Yuzhou breathed a sigh of relief, and turned around to see that Uncle Zhao was looking at him with a smile on his face.
Embarrassed, he walked over. Previously, he was worried that he would not be able to stop opening the door, so he invited Zhao Yi and others in advance. Moreover, He Yuzhou also had the idea of letting them in early to increase his popularity.
However, this time it seemed to be very successful. Although the items over one hundred coins were basically not sold, all the items below were sold out.
"It seems that the business here is good, and Xiaozhou will not worry about it in the future." Zhao Yi said with a smile, and the others nodded repeatedly.
He Yuzhou smiled: "It's also thanks to the people in this village and the people in the neighboring villages who are willing to show respect."
"However, Xiaozhou, it's you who opened the store today, so the villagers will come in and sit out of curiosity. I've been waiting for a long time...you."
He Yuzhou smiled and said, "It's nothing. I'm not doing business with people in the village. The most important thing is to do business with those who pass by here and need to rest for a while, so don't worry."
Zhao Yi breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that Xiaozhou has already made up his mind, well, we have been here for a long time, so we will go back first."
"Okay, I'll see you off." He Yuzhou smiled.
Everyone got up together, and He Yuzhou sent them to the door.
"Little girl, wrap me two catties of edamame, and another plate of another kind." Old Uncle Qian said after he left.
He Yuzhou responded, and Nu Yi hurriedly helped to pack the things that Old Man Qian wanted from inside. Old Man Qian looked at Nu Yi and said with a smile: "This guy is not bad, he moves very neatly."
As he spoke, he took out one or two hundred Wen from his pocket and handed it to He Yuzhou.
He Yuzhou was taken aback for a moment, and reached out to take it without refusing.
After seeing him off, He Yuzhou heaved a sigh of relief, and cleaned the bamboo house together with Nu Yi. He was too busy to pick up the guests before, but he didn't bother to clean it. Qin Huan also helped, and He Yuzhou smiled and touched him.
Nu Yi looked at the smiling He Yuzhou, and felt more and more that he was gentle and pleasant.
The master's vision is really good, he couldn't help thinking, but he also secretly reminded himself that this is the master's person.
"Xiaozhou, if you want to do business with people who pass by here, you still lack one thing."
He Yuzhou was taken aback, stopped his movements, looked at Nu Yi, and Nu Yi said, "You forgot the stable."
"Those who pass by here are all travelers, whether they are carriages, horses or ox carts. If they want to rest here, how can they not have this."
That's right, He Yuzhou patted his head in frustration: "Look at me, I forgot the most important thing."
What should we do now?He Yuzhou frowned.
Nu Yi looked at him, smiled with a blushing face and pursed her lips: "This is not difficult to make, I will add another one at the back, let's surround this piece of land, build a horse peng on the side, and have a yard You can build a shed, and if you pass by a caravan or something in the future, there will be a place to entertain you."
He Yuzhou was stunned: "Will caravans pass by this place?"
"Although there are fewer, there will be some. It is necessary to build a caravan. Usually, if there are many guests, you can entertain them in the yard."
"That's fine." He Yuzhou thought for a while and said, "Nui Yi is still thoughtful."
Nu Yi blushed slightly, and said softly: "Then I'll build a stable. They built a house before and there are still some bamboos left over, which just come in handy."
He Yuzhou responded, "Okay."
After Nu Yi left, Qin Huan and He Yuzhou were left to look after the store, and it was deserted all of a sudden.
He Yuzhou gave Qin Huan some pancakes to eat, and Qin Huan smiled sweetly at him. The more He Yuzhou looked at him, he found the child cute, so he couldn't help hugging him and kissing him a few times, and the kissed child giggled.
"Ma'am, watch the road carefully." A voice suddenly came from the door, and He Yuzhou raised his head. A middle-aged woman who still had a charm came in, wearing brocade cannons and hairpin flowers. He was brightly red, and behind him was a servant, who was dressed as a groom and carefully greeted the woman.
Seeing this, He Yuzhou put down the child and stood up: "Good afternoon, madam."
The woman glanced at He Yuzhou when she heard the words, and nodded politely to him: "Good afternoon."
He Yuzhou smiled: "Please sit down, do you need something to eat or drink?"
"This store just opened today, and everyone who comes in will be given a bowl of hawthorn water and a white flour steamed bun."
With that said, He Yuzhou put two steamed buns and two bowls of hawthorn water on the woman's table.
The woman was slightly taken aback, looked at the servant behind her, and handed him the steamed buns and hawthorn water.
The boy lowered his head movedly: "Thank you Ma'am, thank you."
The woman smiled and said, "Let's sit down and eat together, it's okay."
He Yuzhou couldn't help feeling fond of her. In this world, the concept of master and servant is very strong. Generally, masters would not let their servants sit at the same table. This woman is approachable, but she is different from other wealthy people. "
Silently looking at it, He Yuzhou picked up the menu on the table and handed it to the woman, "Madam, here are snacks and fruit tea from our store. What do you want? If these are not to your taste, there is scented tea over there."
The woman took a sip of the hawthorn water and wiped her lips with a handkerchief: "This water is sweet and sour, it quenches your thirst very much, but it's a bit weak, but there is still some thicker water?"
He Yuzhou was taken aback and said, "This is hawthorn water. If it is thicker, why don't you try some hawthorn black tea?"
"Tea?" The woman was stunned and said, "The taste of tea is a bit bitter. I want to drink sour plum soup. Can I have it here?"
He Yuzhou chuckled: "Ma'am, I misunderstood. This hawthorn tea is not bitter, and it tastes a bit like sour plum soup. Why don't you try it?"
Seeing that the woman was still thinking about it, He Yuzhou said: "If you are not satisfied after drinking it, I will not charge you any money."
Seeing that He Yuzhou was so determined, the woman couldn't help but look at him twice and said: "Then serve a pot and taste it."
"Okay, wait a moment." He Yuzhou's eyes flashed, and his face was a little happy. The hawthorn tea is [-] Wen for a bowl, and [-] Wen for a pot.
When the hawthorn tea was brought out, He Yuzhou kept an eye out for it, and specially sent a small cup of mango tea. If this lady likes to drink hawthorn tea, she must also like mango tea. It tastes sour and sweet. Moreover, mango tea It has more fragrance than hawthorn tea.
Sure enough, after the lady tasted it, she liked the aroma of the mango very much, so she ordered another pot.
The two of them didn't seem to be short of food, so I didn't see them ordering food, they only drank the two pots of tea, and they couldn't finish it in the end.
Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, He Yuzhou found two water bags, packed the remaining tea respectively and called to the woman, "Ma'am, there was a severe drought not long ago, a drop of water is hard to come by, so don't waste it." , this water bag doesn’t charge you any money, so take it.”
The woman smiled when she heard the words: "You are a bit interesting, but the water bag is too big, and there is not much water in it. It is all deflated, and it is troublesome to carry. I will buy two more pots, and you can fill them up for me." .”
He Yuzhou's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he replied, "Okay, just wait a moment."
As he spoke, he entered the inner room, and Qin Huan looked outside.
He Yuzhou helped to fill it up, looked at the remaining stewed meat, barbecue, edamame, and fried pumpkin sticks, his eyes flashed, an idea came to his mind, he wrapped some of each of these, and took them out together.
"Ma'am, my shop has just opened, and you came here. You are the first customer to come from afar. It is a predestined relationship with this shop. These are some of the food in this shop. I will give it to you. I hope you will appreciate it and try it. "
Although these far-flung customers may not come back to buy the products here, but if they taste it next time and pass by here, they are likely to come back. This teahouse in He Yuzhou will last for a long time, and it must build a good reputation for the future.
The woman looked at the few small bags that He Yuzhou had wrapped, smiled and said, "You really have a heart."
He Yuzhou smiled.
The woman and the servant went out with their things. At the end, she looked back at He Yuzhou and asked, "Although it's a bit abrupt to ask, can you tell me, are you a man or a woman?"
He Yuzhou's eyelids twitched, and he replied resolutely, "Man."
The woman was taken aback, and turned her head away: "That's a pity."
"..."
After the woman left, Qin Huan looked at He Yuzhou and blinked suspiciously: "Sister, why do you say you are a man?"
"Mother said that only men like Xiao Huan and Brother Yi are men, and sister is a woman?"
He Yuzhou's face darkened, and he sighed in his heart, but looking at the innocent Qin Huan, he had an idea in his heart.
He put Qin Huan on the ground, squatted down and looked directly at him, "Xiao Huan, can you call me brother?"
Qin Huan frowned: "Why?"
Because I am a man, He Yuzhou wanted to say that, but...he smiled wryly...how should he explain it to five-year-old Qin Huan?
Qin Huan looked at He Yuzhou for a while, tilted his head, and straightened his neck, but suddenly said: "I see, Brother Zhou."
He Yuzhou was taken aback, and looked at Qin Huan in surprise, Qin Huan smiled innocently, not knowing what he had decided.
He Yuzhou laughed, and patted his head, Qin Huan said: "Mother said that there are many things that people can't say and don't know how to say, and the expression like my brother just now means that there are some things that can't be said, so, Don’t force me at this time, just follow along.”
He Yuzhou looked at Qin Huan in surprise, and kissed his forehead. It seems that Widow Qin taught him very well.
After that, there was no more business, so He Yuzhou closed the door of the teahouse, and took the unsold items home to eat.
In the evening, I counted the taels of silver, most of them were old man Qian's one or two hundred cash, followed by the woman's four hundred cash, and after that were some small coins worth nearly five hundred cash.
At the end of the day, more than two or two.
It's better than expected, but it depends on the future business.
He Yuzhou put the money into a jar and stuffed it under the bed. This will be the family's savings for the future.
It took Nu Yi a few days to fix the stable. These days He Yuzhou and Qin Huan stayed in the teahouse, but the field didn’t take care of it. Nu Yi would visit the field when he was free in the teahouse. Take care of the potatoes, their bamboo house is built by the field, so the care is also simple.
In the past few days, several groups of passers-by came one after another. Because they were in a hurry, they didn't taste He Yuzhou's scented tea. At most, they ordered some fruit tea. After a good meal, they packed some dry food and left.
He Yuzhou still gave them something they hadn't tasted like last time.
What's more interesting is that villagers often come here to drink water to cool off, especially at noon.
They do farm work and are in the fields. Sometimes they are too lazy to go back at noon, so they will come to He Yuzhou to order a pot of water, a few steamed buns and pancakes. They can afford it. They eat and rest here. Go to work in the fields.
This saves the time to go home to cook and eat. For a while, He Yuzhou's place will not look too deserted since there are no passers-by.
The money earned every day is not much, but it is not too little.
During this period, He Yuzhou made tea eggs and sold them in teahouses.
Fifty cents each, twice as expensive as ordinary eggs, but some people will come to try something new.
On this day, he just opened the door of the teahouse and welcomed a regular customer——Uncle An.
He Yuzhou was taken aback, and Uncle An looked at him with a smile: "This time, Xiaozhou didn't invite the Lu family to open the shop."
He Yuzhou frowned. He had opened the shop for a few days. Uncle An must have known about the situation long ago, but he came only now and accused him of not inviting him. He Yuzhou didn't quite understand what he meant, so he didn't speak.
Uncle An said with a smile: "You girl, you haven't learned how to be a businessman. No matter how confused you are, it shouldn't be written on your face."
After speaking, he walked up to the bamboo house on his own, looked at the surrounding environment, sized up the situation inside, and nodded with a smile: "Not bad, not bad, very Xiaozhou style."
He Yuzhou sighed: "Uncle An, what are you doing here this time?"
Uncle An took out 50 taels from his pocket, and spread it out in front of He Yuzhou: "I want to rent out your shop in Xiaozhou, and let others go out for a while?"
He Yuzhou pushed the money back, told everyone to leave, told Qin Huan to go to Nu Yi, looked at Uncle An and said, "Okay, Uncle An, just tell me if you have anything to do?"
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with it." Uncle An smiled slyly.
Uncle An didn't want to say it, and He Yuzhou couldn't help it either. He thought for a while and asked, "... Lu... What's wrong with Young Master Lu?"
"It's fine, it's fine."
He Yuzhou looked at Uncle An a few more times, and Uncle An said, "Uncle An is here this time, and he has something to ask Xiao Zhou."
Finally willing to speak, He Yuzhou stood up straight, and saw Uncle An take out a bag from behind and put it on the counter, He Yuzhou was puzzled, he had seen the bag on Uncle An's back, but he didn't understand what was inside, nor did he understand When he wanted to do something, he looked at him, waiting for him to speak.
Uncle An smiled and said, "Open it and have a look."
He Yuzhou frowned, and opened the bag slightly with hesitation, and suddenly there was a lake blue women's dress inside.
He quickly tied up his bundle, and frowned at Uncle An: "What's the meaning of this?"
"Xiaozhou, put it on." Uncle An said with a smile.
He Yuzhou felt like getting an electric shock, put his hands back into his sleeves, and took a step back: "Uncle An, what exactly are you going to do?"
"Madam wants to see you. I want you to dress up before she comes." Uncle An said.
He Yuzhou sneered: "Why should I dress up?"
Uncle An looked disapproving: "You are a woman, so you should dress up naturally, let alone meeting your wife."
lady?Lu Zhuoxi's mother?His...uncle...
He Yuzhou narrowed his eyes: "She comes whenever she comes, why should I dress up?"
As he said that, he said helplessly: "Uncle An, put away your clothes, I don't know how to wear them."
"You girl, why are you..." Uncle An's face fell, he sighed, and suddenly looked at He Yuzhou with a ruthless look and said, "It's not up to you!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand suddenly and touched He Yuzhou, and He Yuzhou couldn't move. This is...
"Uncle An, you..."
"Don't blame me, Xiaozhou, this is the young master's idea. He asked me to help you dress up, so that you can have a good impression in front of Madam."
"Master Lu?"
He Yuzhou lamented, "What are you guys doing?"
As he spoke, he gritted his teeth, saw Nu Yi in the field through the window from the corner of his eye, his eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth to call him, but Uncle An suddenly stretched out his finger again, and He Yuzhou couldn't open his mouth.
He Yuzhou frowned, and Uncle An laughed straight away: "It seems that the two skills I learned from Ah Zhuang are quite useful. When he comes back, he has to teach him more."
He Yuzhou frowned.
Uncle An smiled and let He Yuzhou sit on the stool: "Don't worry, Xiaozhou, I will only put this clothes on your outside and will not touch you. The young master just wants you to restore your female attire so that you can make a good impression in front of your wife." , no other attempt."
"Originally, Uncle An wanted to bring a few maids over to help you do some makeup, but the time was too late, so Uncle An could only do it. Fortunately, Uncle An also knows how to do this."
As he spoke, he smiled, untied He Yuzhou's hair, and used a hairpin to give him a simple lady's head. He took out rouge from his bosom, put some on him, and put the woman's hair on his chest with a hairpin. Outside, covering the men's clothing inside.
He Yuzhou pursed his lips and stared at Uncle An.
After Uncle An finished all this, there was a faint sound at the door, and several people came over. He Yuzhou rolled his eyes and saw that Nu Yi and Qin Huan were still in the field, if it wasn't the two of them, who was it?
Could it be... Lu Zhuoxi's mother, that lady?
He Yuzhou struggled, and Uncle An also said anxiously: "It's broken, Madam is here, so fast."
As he said that, he immediately put away all the burden cloth and rouge, released He Yuzhou's acupuncture point, and fled into the bamboo house.
As soon as He Yuzhou got his freedom, he went out and bumped into the woman who was about to come in.
"It's you?!" He Yuzhou was surprised. This woman still had a charming charm. She was the woman who drank hawthorn tea in the teahouse that day.
"It's me." The woman smiled and looked He Yuzhou up and down: "It's a beauty. At that time, you were dressed as a man, and you swore that you were a man. You were almost cheated by you."
"You little liar." The woman smiled lightly and nodded He Yuzhou's forehead. He Yuzhou couldn't tell the situation clearly, and blinked at the woman.
The woman walked into the teahouse with a smile, followed by four maidservants, holding all kinds of clothes and hairpin jewelry, all of which belonged to women.
He Yuzhou looked back at her suspiciously, and the woman smiled and said, "I've heard Xi'er say, Miss He, my Xi'er likes you, and my mother also thinks you are very good, how about you agree to Xi'er?" Come on."
"I promise him that you are the only one in this life."
"..." So what's going on?He Yuzhou looked confused, he swallowed his saliva, and took two steps back: "Madam, can we say something that I understand?"
"Don't pretend you don't know, Miss He, Xi'er has mentioned you to me over and over again, saying that I like you very much, but I have heard others mention you, and I always feel that you are frivolous and not suitable for Xi'er. I ran into you by chance once, you are a good girl, worthy of Xi'er, but Xi'er is weak and might wrong you."
"However, I believe you won't mind if you are considerate, right? Apart from being sick, Xi'er is excellent in every aspect. As a mother, I hope he can find a good girl."
"Do you understand me?"
He understands, but...does she know what to do next?
He Yuzhou was so stunned that he didn't know how to react, how should he explain it?
Looking at the dazed He Yuzhou, the woman sighed: "It seems that Xi'er is true in saying that you rejected him, so take your time, I believe the sincerity of our mother and son can impress you."
The woman smiled softly, raised her hand, and the four maids behind her took a step forward with things. The woman looked at these things and said, "This dress is for you. Qian, it's embroidered by the best female celebrities in the Lu family, you can try it quickly, and I'll see if it looks good."
As she spoke, she took the clothes and moved forward, gesturing towards He Yuzhou. He Yuzhou stepped back again and again, leaning his back against the wall. He closed his eyes and shouted, "Nui."
Nu Yiben was teasing Qin Huan in the field, when he heard He Yuzhou calling him with extraordinary hearing, his complexion changed, he hurriedly picked up the long sword next to him, turned around several times, and jumped into the teahouse through the window.
"Nui!" Seeing Nuyi, He Yuzhou felt a little more at ease. He passed the woman and several maids and came in front of Nuyi.
Nu Yi looked at He Yuzhou who was dressed as a woman, a little stunned, and then her face turned red.
He Yuzhou felt relieved, and said to the woman: "Madam Lu, I appreciate your kindness, but I don't accept it, and I'm not qualified to accept it. I've made it very clear to Young Master Lu. If you go back now, he will accept it." will understand."
"Xiaozhou." Mrs. Lu said: "I'll call you Xiaozhou. The one standing in front of you is not Xi'er, but me. I think you are pretty good. I hope you can agree to Xi'er's marriage proposal."
"..."
Nu Yi was stunned, stared, turned to look at He Yuzhou, He Yuzhou was depressed in every possible way: "I don't have such a relationship with Young Master Lu, and I don't have such a relationship."
Nu Yi was taken aback for a moment, and he understood a little, he stepped forward to block He Yuzhou.
Mrs. Lu glanced at Nu Yi, then looked at He Yuzhou behind him and said with a smile: "That's not too urgent, I gave you this dress, I gave it to you when I saw you were so happy, Xiaozhou? Do you not accept it either?"
He Yuzhou shook his head: "Madam Lu, please take this clothes back. Yuzhou is used to wearing his own clothes."
"This dress is yours once you put it on. Come on, try it on. You will like it as long as you put it on. The material is very comfortable."
As he spoke, he winked at the back, and the four maidservants rushed straight at He Yuzhou. He Yuzhou was startled, and hid behind Nu Yi, and Nu Yi bit the bullet and stood in front of He Yuzhou, and the four women In public contact, his face turned red, and he wanted to draw the sword with his hand on the hilt. He Yuzhou shouted: "Don't hurt them, they are innocent."
Nu Yi gritted her teeth, tightened her hand and retracted the sword, but this made the four maidservants even more daring, and kept rushing towards He Yuzhou.
Nu Yi stood in front of He Yuzhou, and was crowded by these four women. He backed up again and again, even taking He Yuzhou back.
Nu Yi was trembling all over, feeling uncomfortable when his body touched the woman's soft skin, but his complexion was inexplicably hot, he turned his head and shouted to He Yuzhou: "Xiaozhou, you go home first."
He Yuzhou's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he followed Nu Yi to the door.
Because He Yuzhou had prepared the menu signs before and hung them above the counter. These signs are the prices of scented tea and scented tea. The tables are all set up, and there is a menu on each table. The names and prices of fruit teas and snacks are on the menus.
A menu of fruit tea and snacks in a larger size was also nailed to the wall behind the counter.
In this way, guests who come in can look at the counter to order, or they can go to the table to look at the menu and order.
The price of scented tea is generally high, and there must not be many people who drink it in the early stage, so there is no need to put a menu on every table.
To sell scented tea, you need to prepare flowers first. Before that, He Yuzhou prepared several flower trays, and transplanted the fancy flowers into the flower trays. Some were placed on the counter, and some were placed in the spare room.
There are also tools for making tea on the counter. If a customer orders scented tea, He Yuzhou will directly brew it for the customer at the counter.
To make these preparations, all you have to do is prepare the things that will be sold on opening day.
Now that the weather is hot, many things cannot be prepared at night, so the next day, He Yuzhou woke up early.
Pound the papaya and mango into a paste, put it in a box and take it directly to the bamboo house, and bring the tea as well.
The hawthorn water and bamboo leaf tea were cooked first, so just move them over.
Some snacks are prepared at night, and some are made early in the morning.
After moving these over the next day, He Yuzhou will wait for the sky to open before officially opening.
This time, he invited Uncle Zhao's family, Aunt Guan's mother and son, Congdi brothers, Zheng Qi, old man Qian, and Jiang Qin who helped him make dishes, a total of ten people.
I also prepared a unique snack and scented tea for their table.
As for the other villagers who will come to watch the fun, He Yuzhou will give each of them a cup of hawthorn water and a steamed bun.
There are also some trial dim sum, which are placed on the counter, cut into small pieces, so that when someone comes in to order and does not know the taste of these dim sum, they can try them.
Since it was just the beginning, He Yuzhou didn't dare to do too much, fearing that it would be wasted if it couldn't be sold.
So I made the three pumpkin snacks that Qin Huan likes - pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin fried sticks, and pumpkin cakes.
An additional taro pie was added.
I made steamed buns, dry pancakes and some stewed meat. I also prepared a few catties of barbecue. These are the meat collected from Zheng Qi, which is wild rabbit meat from the mountain.
The marinade was made by He Yuzhou, and the meat was soaked in the marinade for nearly a night. When I got up in the morning, the meat was full of fragrance, and He Yuzhou didn't throw away the marinade. He put it in a container and prepared it for the next time. This marinade The longer the juice, the more fragrant it becomes.
Nuyi got up to roast the barbecue in the morning, sliced it and placed it on a plate in the spare room of the bamboo house. If anyone wanted it, it would be taken out. A plate was [-] renminbi, and cold ones were [-] renminbi.
The same goes for braised pork.
Three steamed buns.Cake five words.
As for the more distinctive pumpkin pies, taro pies, and hair cakes, they cost twenty cents a piece.
A plate of pumpkin fried sticks costs [-] cents.
Maodou, He Yuzhou made two kinds this time, one is the old man Qian's favorite last time, and a plate is two hundred yuan.
A kind of stewed with a shell that has a spicy flavor, calculated by the catty, five hundred Wen per catty.
He Yuzhou was a little excited and a little nervous about opening this time, after all, this was the teahouse he had always wanted.
The plaque of this bamboo house, which He Yuzhou made more casually, is called Hekou Tea House.
An hour before leaving Zhang, Nu Yi brought Qin Huan and He Yuzhou and opened the door of the teahouse. They invited Zhao Yishu and others in advance, and He Yuzhou hoped that they would be the first guests here.
They were all on time and came together, looking at He Yuzhou's bamboo house, they were a little surprised. Such a beautiful house was built in just a few days, and it was said that they didn't spend any money, so they were all amazed.
He Yuzhou welcomed them in with a smile, but only Zhao Yiyi came to Zhao Yi's family. Aunt Zhao was inconvenient and didn't go out. Xiao Qing helped Aunt Zhao to look after her. Things, He Yuzhou let Nu Yi put them into the room.
He took them into the teahouse by himself.
Everyone entered the house and looked around. This bamboo house is strange and elegant, with two large windows open, allowing plenty of light. The menu board hanging above the counter is very distinctive, with strange patterns on the side and beautiful carvings. What's more rare is The engraving was also copied with colored ink, so that the words engraved on it would not be unclear.
And there is a menu card on each table. This menu card is copied with ink, which is very distinctive.
Zhao Yi stroked the writing on the menu and smiled: "Is this writing from Xiaozhou?"
He Yuzhou replied: "Of course, but this carver is Uncle Jiang, and his carpentry is first-rate."
Jiang Qin is a middle-aged uncle, and his face is full of pride when he hears about it.
He Yuzhou smiled and called them to sit down, asking Nu Yi and Qin Huan to help them serve the snacks they had prepared in advance.
Everything is a dish, and nothing is left behind.
After serving the snacks, He Yuzhou pulled Nu Yi who was about to leave, and said to the people at the table: "It was Yuzhou who was negligent before. He never introduced the new members of my family to everyone, and made everyone worry about me."
"This is Nu Yi, a member of Qi Yan's son's family. Qi Yan went home for the time being. He left in a hurry but didn't have time to say goodbye to everyone. I apologize to everyone on his behalf, and it is also Yuzhou's personal apology. Let Aunt Guan, Uncle Yi, Brother Cong and everyone here worry about me from time to time, Yuzhou will not be there in the future."
I was taken aback, and looked at He Yuzhou in silence, as if I didn't expect him to say such a thing. Zhao Yiwen's eyes were even more complicated, but he was also sincerely happy.
"Xiaozhou has finally grown up too." He sighed.
This 17-year-old girl was penniless when she came here, she didn't like to communicate, and she chose to live in a remote and quiet place, and she didn't care much about the affairs of the village.
For things like building a house, building a well, etc., he would ask someone he knew well.
They have been supporting the girl since she entered the village, but they didn't pay much attention to it, and they helped everyone who could help.
Maybe it's because of the existence of helping him all the time, so if something happens in his house, I can't help worrying about him too much.
But she almost forgot that she is a family of her own, and she also wants to be a little private.
Zhao Yi sighed lightly, saying that she didn't introduce Nu Yi to them, that she didn't explain many things, but why didn't they not, didn't they go beyond the limit if they wanted to know everything about Xiaozhou so thoroughly?
Zhao Yi reflected, and at the same time looked at He Yuzhou with relief.
Now, this girl has really grown up, she will find someone to build a bamboo house by herself, she will make such a big table of snacks to thank them, and she will open such a teahouse to make money to support her family.
Although this is a bit stronger for a girl...
However, this may be the peculiarity of her, she refuses to admit defeat, she wants to stand on her own, instead of looking for someone to marry like most women.
Zhao Yi smiled lightly, and Aunt Guan laughed too, tears welling up in her eyes.
She looked at He Yuzhou and said, "Xiaozhou, you're really well now, my aunt is sincerely happy for you."
He Yuzhou looked at Aunt Guan tenderly, and gently shook her hand. This woman's hands were full of calluses. She had worked hard all her life but her kindness had not been erased. She was still willing to take money from her poor family. Some of them came to help him. If it weren't for Aunt Guan and Guan Dahai, he would never be where he is today.
He Yuzhou looked at Aunt Guan gratefully, touched her wrinkled face, wiped away the tears that flowed from her eyes, and said with a smile: "Ma'am, today is a big day, it's the opening day of my teahouse, don't you worry about it?" Weeping."
Aunt Guan smiled and wiped away her tears: "Yes, look at me."
"Xiaozhou." Congdi called He Yuzhou, and He Yuzhou looked at him.
Cong Di said with admiration, "You are grateful and smart."
"The name of this teahouse also uses the name of Hekou Village. The source of water was found by Mr. Qi Yanqi you brought back, and the method of diverting the water was also invented by you. I will remember your contribution to Hekou Village for the rest of my life. My heartfelt congratulations this time you."
He Yuzhou smiled: "Thank you Brother Cong, my teahouse is now open here, and I hope Brother Cong will take care of you."
"Of course." Cong Di smiled heartily.
"Okay, try them all, how about the dim sum in my teahouse?"
"Hey, little girl, I'm just waiting for you to say this. Old man, I've been looking at this edamame for a long time. I can't forget the last time I ate it." Old man Qian said, immediately picked up the chopsticks, and picked up a grain. The edamame was thrown into his mouth.
He Yuzhou chuckled: "If old man Qian likes it, he will pack some and bring some back later."
Old Uncle Qian smiled: "Of course, you must bring it with you, but you have to accept the money, otherwise the old man would not dare to take it. You are in business."
He Yuzhou responded with a light smile, "Okay."
Zhao Yi looked at He Yuzhou with a faint smile, raised his hand to touch his chin, and nodded.
This Xiaozhou has really changed a lot. To communicate with everyone in the past, it seems that it is beneficial to keep Qin Huan in Xiaozhou. At least he will work hard for Qin Huan. to change.
I should really bring my wife to see him. She always said that Xiaozhou was too lofty, and she would be surprised how approachable he is now.
Xiaoqing should also bring it, the taste of this snack is really good.
"I didn't prepare tea for everyone, because there are different types of tea and different tastes. I can't figure out your preferences. Look at the menu on the table and see what you like to drink. I will make it for you now."
"Oh?" It was Zhao Yishu who was first interested in tea. He already loved tea, and he was even more curious about He Yuzhou's tea.
He took the sign and looked at the varieties engraved on it, and said with some doubts: "Xiaozhou, isn't your specialty scented tea? Why haven't you seen any of them?"
He Yuzhou smiled and said: "Uncle Yi, that scented tea is very troublesome to make, so I set the price a little higher, so I didn't engrave it on this brand. Look at the counter, I hung it there. Uncle Yi, what do you want to drink?" ?”
Zhao Yi raised his head upon hearing this, glanced at the tea cards one by one, and finally ordered Ziyuan tea.
He had heard Lu Zhuoxi mention this tea before, so he was rather curious.
Aunt Guan glanced at the scented tea, a little startled by the price above, so she ordered the papaya black tea on the brand, and the papaya cup tea that Guan Dahai wanted.
Uncle Qian felt a little spicy eating edamame at this time, so he ordered mango tea that seemed to relieve the spiciness.
Everyone else wanted to drink the black tea with lemon that Zhao Yi had mentioned.
He Yuzhou made a note in his heart, and went into the house. The first thing he made was fruit tea, and the papaya was mashed, so it was relatively simple. Just pour it with black tea, because it was summer, and He Yuzhou's black tea was brewed in advance. Yes, drink at this time, the temperature is just right.
The tea in the papaya cup was about to boil, so Wei Wei waited a while before serving it to Guan Dahai.
Uncle Qian’s mango tea is also relatively simple. The mango water is boiled, just add black tea.
The lemon black tea needs to be pounded with lemons. After doing this, He Yuzhou took the time to slowly brew the aster tea that Zhao Yi wanted.
This tea made Uncle Zhao wait for a full moment.
But when he drank it into his mouth, he felt that waiting for this moment was not in vain.
Seeing that they are eating slowly, and the time is about the same.
Because Uncle Zhao and the others entered the door, many villagers had already surrounded the door, some of them knew each other and some of them didn't.
He Yuzhou went out to talk to them and officially opened the store.
Because a steamed bun and a bowl of hawthorn water are given away at the door, many villagers are willing to come in and have a look.
After tasting the hawthorn water here, I think it is good, and I will order some other products to try, so the business is not deserted all of a sudden.
But no one ordered more than [-] Wen. After all, everyone has just passed the drought and their money is limited. So, all of a sudden, taro pies, pumpkin pies, hair cakes, and hawthorn bamboo leaf tea are the best-selling foods. .
Around the time of Shen, the number of talents gradually decreased.
He Yuzhou breathed a sigh of relief, and turned around to see that Uncle Zhao was looking at him with a smile on his face.
Embarrassed, he walked over. Previously, he was worried that he would not be able to stop opening the door, so he invited Zhao Yi and others in advance. Moreover, He Yuzhou also had the idea of letting them in early to increase his popularity.
However, this time it seemed to be very successful. Although the items over one hundred coins were basically not sold, all the items below were sold out.
"It seems that the business here is good, and Xiaozhou will not worry about it in the future." Zhao Yi said with a smile, and the others nodded repeatedly.
He Yuzhou smiled: "It's also thanks to the people in this village and the people in the neighboring villages who are willing to show respect."
"However, Xiaozhou, it's you who opened the store today, so the villagers will come in and sit out of curiosity. I've been waiting for a long time...you."
He Yuzhou smiled and said, "It's nothing. I'm not doing business with people in the village. The most important thing is to do business with those who pass by here and need to rest for a while, so don't worry."
Zhao Yi breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that Xiaozhou has already made up his mind, well, we have been here for a long time, so we will go back first."
"Okay, I'll see you off." He Yuzhou smiled.
Everyone got up together, and He Yuzhou sent them to the door.
"Little girl, wrap me two catties of edamame, and another plate of another kind." Old Uncle Qian said after he left.
He Yuzhou responded, and Nu Yi hurriedly helped to pack the things that Old Man Qian wanted from inside. Old Man Qian looked at Nu Yi and said with a smile: "This guy is not bad, he moves very neatly."
As he spoke, he took out one or two hundred Wen from his pocket and handed it to He Yuzhou.
He Yuzhou was taken aback for a moment, and reached out to take it without refusing.
After seeing him off, He Yuzhou heaved a sigh of relief, and cleaned the bamboo house together with Nu Yi. He was too busy to pick up the guests before, but he didn't bother to clean it. Qin Huan also helped, and He Yuzhou smiled and touched him.
Nu Yi looked at the smiling He Yuzhou, and felt more and more that he was gentle and pleasant.
The master's vision is really good, he couldn't help thinking, but he also secretly reminded himself that this is the master's person.
"Xiaozhou, if you want to do business with people who pass by here, you still lack one thing."
He Yuzhou was taken aback, stopped his movements, looked at Nu Yi, and Nu Yi said, "You forgot the stable."
"Those who pass by here are all travelers, whether they are carriages, horses or ox carts. If they want to rest here, how can they not have this."
That's right, He Yuzhou patted his head in frustration: "Look at me, I forgot the most important thing."
What should we do now?He Yuzhou frowned.
Nu Yi looked at him, smiled with a blushing face and pursed her lips: "This is not difficult to make, I will add another one at the back, let's surround this piece of land, build a horse peng on the side, and have a yard You can build a shed, and if you pass by a caravan or something in the future, there will be a place to entertain you."
He Yuzhou was stunned: "Will caravans pass by this place?"
"Although there are fewer, there will be some. It is necessary to build a caravan. Usually, if there are many guests, you can entertain them in the yard."
"That's fine." He Yuzhou thought for a while and said, "Nui Yi is still thoughtful."
Nu Yi blushed slightly, and said softly: "Then I'll build a stable. They built a house before and there are still some bamboos left over, which just come in handy."
He Yuzhou responded, "Okay."
After Nu Yi left, Qin Huan and He Yuzhou were left to look after the store, and it was deserted all of a sudden.
He Yuzhou gave Qin Huan some pancakes to eat, and Qin Huan smiled sweetly at him. The more He Yuzhou looked at him, he found the child cute, so he couldn't help hugging him and kissing him a few times, and the kissed child giggled.
"Ma'am, watch the road carefully." A voice suddenly came from the door, and He Yuzhou raised his head. A middle-aged woman who still had a charm came in, wearing brocade cannons and hairpin flowers. He was brightly red, and behind him was a servant, who was dressed as a groom and carefully greeted the woman.
Seeing this, He Yuzhou put down the child and stood up: "Good afternoon, madam."
The woman glanced at He Yuzhou when she heard the words, and nodded politely to him: "Good afternoon."
He Yuzhou smiled: "Please sit down, do you need something to eat or drink?"
"This store just opened today, and everyone who comes in will be given a bowl of hawthorn water and a white flour steamed bun."
With that said, He Yuzhou put two steamed buns and two bowls of hawthorn water on the woman's table.
The woman was slightly taken aback, looked at the servant behind her, and handed him the steamed buns and hawthorn water.
The boy lowered his head movedly: "Thank you Ma'am, thank you."
The woman smiled and said, "Let's sit down and eat together, it's okay."
He Yuzhou couldn't help feeling fond of her. In this world, the concept of master and servant is very strong. Generally, masters would not let their servants sit at the same table. This woman is approachable, but she is different from other wealthy people. "
Silently looking at it, He Yuzhou picked up the menu on the table and handed it to the woman, "Madam, here are snacks and fruit tea from our store. What do you want? If these are not to your taste, there is scented tea over there."
The woman took a sip of the hawthorn water and wiped her lips with a handkerchief: "This water is sweet and sour, it quenches your thirst very much, but it's a bit weak, but there is still some thicker water?"
He Yuzhou was taken aback and said, "This is hawthorn water. If it is thicker, why don't you try some hawthorn black tea?"
"Tea?" The woman was stunned and said, "The taste of tea is a bit bitter. I want to drink sour plum soup. Can I have it here?"
He Yuzhou chuckled: "Ma'am, I misunderstood. This hawthorn tea is not bitter, and it tastes a bit like sour plum soup. Why don't you try it?"
Seeing that the woman was still thinking about it, He Yuzhou said: "If you are not satisfied after drinking it, I will not charge you any money."
Seeing that He Yuzhou was so determined, the woman couldn't help but look at him twice and said: "Then serve a pot and taste it."
"Okay, wait a moment." He Yuzhou's eyes flashed, and his face was a little happy. The hawthorn tea is [-] Wen for a bowl, and [-] Wen for a pot.
When the hawthorn tea was brought out, He Yuzhou kept an eye out for it, and specially sent a small cup of mango tea. If this lady likes to drink hawthorn tea, she must also like mango tea. It tastes sour and sweet. Moreover, mango tea It has more fragrance than hawthorn tea.
Sure enough, after the lady tasted it, she liked the aroma of the mango very much, so she ordered another pot.
The two of them didn't seem to be short of food, so I didn't see them ordering food, they only drank the two pots of tea, and they couldn't finish it in the end.
Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, He Yuzhou found two water bags, packed the remaining tea respectively and called to the woman, "Ma'am, there was a severe drought not long ago, a drop of water is hard to come by, so don't waste it." , this water bag doesn’t charge you any money, so take it.”
The woman smiled when she heard the words: "You are a bit interesting, but the water bag is too big, and there is not much water in it. It is all deflated, and it is troublesome to carry. I will buy two more pots, and you can fill them up for me." .”
He Yuzhou's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he replied, "Okay, just wait a moment."
As he spoke, he entered the inner room, and Qin Huan looked outside.
He Yuzhou helped to fill it up, looked at the remaining stewed meat, barbecue, edamame, and fried pumpkin sticks, his eyes flashed, an idea came to his mind, he wrapped some of each of these, and took them out together.
"Ma'am, my shop has just opened, and you came here. You are the first customer to come from afar. It is a predestined relationship with this shop. These are some of the food in this shop. I will give it to you. I hope you will appreciate it and try it. "
Although these far-flung customers may not come back to buy the products here, but if they taste it next time and pass by here, they are likely to come back. This teahouse in He Yuzhou will last for a long time, and it must build a good reputation for the future.
The woman looked at the few small bags that He Yuzhou had wrapped, smiled and said, "You really have a heart."
He Yuzhou smiled.
The woman and the servant went out with their things. At the end, she looked back at He Yuzhou and asked, "Although it's a bit abrupt to ask, can you tell me, are you a man or a woman?"
He Yuzhou's eyelids twitched, and he replied resolutely, "Man."
The woman was taken aback, and turned her head away: "That's a pity."
"..."
After the woman left, Qin Huan looked at He Yuzhou and blinked suspiciously: "Sister, why do you say you are a man?"
"Mother said that only men like Xiao Huan and Brother Yi are men, and sister is a woman?"
He Yuzhou's face darkened, and he sighed in his heart, but looking at the innocent Qin Huan, he had an idea in his heart.
He put Qin Huan on the ground, squatted down and looked directly at him, "Xiao Huan, can you call me brother?"
Qin Huan frowned: "Why?"
Because I am a man, He Yuzhou wanted to say that, but...he smiled wryly...how should he explain it to five-year-old Qin Huan?
Qin Huan looked at He Yuzhou for a while, tilted his head, and straightened his neck, but suddenly said: "I see, Brother Zhou."
He Yuzhou was taken aback, and looked at Qin Huan in surprise, Qin Huan smiled innocently, not knowing what he had decided.
He Yuzhou laughed, and patted his head, Qin Huan said: "Mother said that there are many things that people can't say and don't know how to say, and the expression like my brother just now means that there are some things that can't be said, so, Don’t force me at this time, just follow along.”
He Yuzhou looked at Qin Huan in surprise, and kissed his forehead. It seems that Widow Qin taught him very well.
After that, there was no more business, so He Yuzhou closed the door of the teahouse, and took the unsold items home to eat.
In the evening, I counted the taels of silver, most of them were old man Qian's one or two hundred cash, followed by the woman's four hundred cash, and after that were some small coins worth nearly five hundred cash.
At the end of the day, more than two or two.
It's better than expected, but it depends on the future business.
He Yuzhou put the money into a jar and stuffed it under the bed. This will be the family's savings for the future.
It took Nu Yi a few days to fix the stable. These days He Yuzhou and Qin Huan stayed in the teahouse, but the field didn’t take care of it. Nu Yi would visit the field when he was free in the teahouse. Take care of the potatoes, their bamboo house is built by the field, so the care is also simple.
In the past few days, several groups of passers-by came one after another. Because they were in a hurry, they didn't taste He Yuzhou's scented tea. At most, they ordered some fruit tea. After a good meal, they packed some dry food and left.
He Yuzhou still gave them something they hadn't tasted like last time.
What's more interesting is that villagers often come here to drink water to cool off, especially at noon.
They do farm work and are in the fields. Sometimes they are too lazy to go back at noon, so they will come to He Yuzhou to order a pot of water, a few steamed buns and pancakes. They can afford it. They eat and rest here. Go to work in the fields.
This saves the time to go home to cook and eat. For a while, He Yuzhou's place will not look too deserted since there are no passers-by.
The money earned every day is not much, but it is not too little.
During this period, He Yuzhou made tea eggs and sold them in teahouses.
Fifty cents each, twice as expensive as ordinary eggs, but some people will come to try something new.
On this day, he just opened the door of the teahouse and welcomed a regular customer——Uncle An.
He Yuzhou was taken aback, and Uncle An looked at him with a smile: "This time, Xiaozhou didn't invite the Lu family to open the shop."
He Yuzhou frowned. He had opened the shop for a few days. Uncle An must have known about the situation long ago, but he came only now and accused him of not inviting him. He Yuzhou didn't quite understand what he meant, so he didn't speak.
Uncle An said with a smile: "You girl, you haven't learned how to be a businessman. No matter how confused you are, it shouldn't be written on your face."
After speaking, he walked up to the bamboo house on his own, looked at the surrounding environment, sized up the situation inside, and nodded with a smile: "Not bad, not bad, very Xiaozhou style."
He Yuzhou sighed: "Uncle An, what are you doing here this time?"
Uncle An took out 50 taels from his pocket, and spread it out in front of He Yuzhou: "I want to rent out your shop in Xiaozhou, and let others go out for a while?"
He Yuzhou pushed the money back, told everyone to leave, told Qin Huan to go to Nu Yi, looked at Uncle An and said, "Okay, Uncle An, just tell me if you have anything to do?"
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with it." Uncle An smiled slyly.
Uncle An didn't want to say it, and He Yuzhou couldn't help it either. He thought for a while and asked, "... Lu... What's wrong with Young Master Lu?"
"It's fine, it's fine."
He Yuzhou looked at Uncle An a few more times, and Uncle An said, "Uncle An is here this time, and he has something to ask Xiao Zhou."
Finally willing to speak, He Yuzhou stood up straight, and saw Uncle An take out a bag from behind and put it on the counter, He Yuzhou was puzzled, he had seen the bag on Uncle An's back, but he didn't understand what was inside, nor did he understand When he wanted to do something, he looked at him, waiting for him to speak.
Uncle An smiled and said, "Open it and have a look."
He Yuzhou frowned, and opened the bag slightly with hesitation, and suddenly there was a lake blue women's dress inside.
He quickly tied up his bundle, and frowned at Uncle An: "What's the meaning of this?"
"Xiaozhou, put it on." Uncle An said with a smile.
He Yuzhou felt like getting an electric shock, put his hands back into his sleeves, and took a step back: "Uncle An, what exactly are you going to do?"
"Madam wants to see you. I want you to dress up before she comes." Uncle An said.
He Yuzhou sneered: "Why should I dress up?"
Uncle An looked disapproving: "You are a woman, so you should dress up naturally, let alone meeting your wife."
lady?Lu Zhuoxi's mother?His...uncle...
He Yuzhou narrowed his eyes: "She comes whenever she comes, why should I dress up?"
As he said that, he said helplessly: "Uncle An, put away your clothes, I don't know how to wear them."
"You girl, why are you..." Uncle An's face fell, he sighed, and suddenly looked at He Yuzhou with a ruthless look and said, "It's not up to you!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand suddenly and touched He Yuzhou, and He Yuzhou couldn't move. This is...
"Uncle An, you..."
"Don't blame me, Xiaozhou, this is the young master's idea. He asked me to help you dress up, so that you can have a good impression in front of Madam."
"Master Lu?"
He Yuzhou lamented, "What are you guys doing?"
As he spoke, he gritted his teeth, saw Nu Yi in the field through the window from the corner of his eye, his eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth to call him, but Uncle An suddenly stretched out his finger again, and He Yuzhou couldn't open his mouth.
He Yuzhou frowned, and Uncle An laughed straight away: "It seems that the two skills I learned from Ah Zhuang are quite useful. When he comes back, he has to teach him more."
He Yuzhou frowned.
Uncle An smiled and let He Yuzhou sit on the stool: "Don't worry, Xiaozhou, I will only put this clothes on your outside and will not touch you. The young master just wants you to restore your female attire so that you can make a good impression in front of your wife." , no other attempt."
"Originally, Uncle An wanted to bring a few maids over to help you do some makeup, but the time was too late, so Uncle An could only do it. Fortunately, Uncle An also knows how to do this."
As he spoke, he smiled, untied He Yuzhou's hair, and used a hairpin to give him a simple lady's head. He took out rouge from his bosom, put some on him, and put the woman's hair on his chest with a hairpin. Outside, covering the men's clothing inside.
He Yuzhou pursed his lips and stared at Uncle An.
After Uncle An finished all this, there was a faint sound at the door, and several people came over. He Yuzhou rolled his eyes and saw that Nu Yi and Qin Huan were still in the field, if it wasn't the two of them, who was it?
Could it be... Lu Zhuoxi's mother, that lady?
He Yuzhou struggled, and Uncle An also said anxiously: "It's broken, Madam is here, so fast."
As he said that, he immediately put away all the burden cloth and rouge, released He Yuzhou's acupuncture point, and fled into the bamboo house.
As soon as He Yuzhou got his freedom, he went out and bumped into the woman who was about to come in.
"It's you?!" He Yuzhou was surprised. This woman still had a charming charm. She was the woman who drank hawthorn tea in the teahouse that day.
"It's me." The woman smiled and looked He Yuzhou up and down: "It's a beauty. At that time, you were dressed as a man, and you swore that you were a man. You were almost cheated by you."
"You little liar." The woman smiled lightly and nodded He Yuzhou's forehead. He Yuzhou couldn't tell the situation clearly, and blinked at the woman.
The woman walked into the teahouse with a smile, followed by four maidservants, holding all kinds of clothes and hairpin jewelry, all of which belonged to women.
He Yuzhou looked back at her suspiciously, and the woman smiled and said, "I've heard Xi'er say, Miss He, my Xi'er likes you, and my mother also thinks you are very good, how about you agree to Xi'er?" Come on."
"I promise him that you are the only one in this life."
"..." So what's going on?He Yuzhou looked confused, he swallowed his saliva, and took two steps back: "Madam, can we say something that I understand?"
"Don't pretend you don't know, Miss He, Xi'er has mentioned you to me over and over again, saying that I like you very much, but I have heard others mention you, and I always feel that you are frivolous and not suitable for Xi'er. I ran into you by chance once, you are a good girl, worthy of Xi'er, but Xi'er is weak and might wrong you."
"However, I believe you won't mind if you are considerate, right? Apart from being sick, Xi'er is excellent in every aspect. As a mother, I hope he can find a good girl."
"Do you understand me?"
He understands, but...does she know what to do next?
He Yuzhou was so stunned that he didn't know how to react, how should he explain it?
Looking at the dazed He Yuzhou, the woman sighed: "It seems that Xi'er is true in saying that you rejected him, so take your time, I believe the sincerity of our mother and son can impress you."
The woman smiled softly, raised her hand, and the four maids behind her took a step forward with things. The woman looked at these things and said, "This dress is for you. Qian, it's embroidered by the best female celebrities in the Lu family, you can try it quickly, and I'll see if it looks good."
As she spoke, she took the clothes and moved forward, gesturing towards He Yuzhou. He Yuzhou stepped back again and again, leaning his back against the wall. He closed his eyes and shouted, "Nui."
Nu Yiben was teasing Qin Huan in the field, when he heard He Yuzhou calling him with extraordinary hearing, his complexion changed, he hurriedly picked up the long sword next to him, turned around several times, and jumped into the teahouse through the window.
"Nui!" Seeing Nuyi, He Yuzhou felt a little more at ease. He passed the woman and several maids and came in front of Nuyi.
Nu Yi looked at He Yuzhou who was dressed as a woman, a little stunned, and then her face turned red.
He Yuzhou felt relieved, and said to the woman: "Madam Lu, I appreciate your kindness, but I don't accept it, and I'm not qualified to accept it. I've made it very clear to Young Master Lu. If you go back now, he will accept it." will understand."
"Xiaozhou." Mrs. Lu said: "I'll call you Xiaozhou. The one standing in front of you is not Xi'er, but me. I think you are pretty good. I hope you can agree to Xi'er's marriage proposal."
"..."
Nu Yi was stunned, stared, turned to look at He Yuzhou, He Yuzhou was depressed in every possible way: "I don't have such a relationship with Young Master Lu, and I don't have such a relationship."
Nu Yi was taken aback for a moment, and he understood a little, he stepped forward to block He Yuzhou.
Mrs. Lu glanced at Nu Yi, then looked at He Yuzhou behind him and said with a smile: "That's not too urgent, I gave you this dress, I gave it to you when I saw you were so happy, Xiaozhou? Do you not accept it either?"
He Yuzhou shook his head: "Madam Lu, please take this clothes back. Yuzhou is used to wearing his own clothes."
"This dress is yours once you put it on. Come on, try it on. You will like it as long as you put it on. The material is very comfortable."
As he spoke, he winked at the back, and the four maidservants rushed straight at He Yuzhou. He Yuzhou was startled, and hid behind Nu Yi, and Nu Yi bit the bullet and stood in front of He Yuzhou, and the four women In public contact, his face turned red, and he wanted to draw the sword with his hand on the hilt. He Yuzhou shouted: "Don't hurt them, they are innocent."
Nu Yi gritted her teeth, tightened her hand and retracted the sword, but this made the four maidservants even more daring, and kept rushing towards He Yuzhou.
Nu Yi stood in front of He Yuzhou, and was crowded by these four women. He backed up again and again, even taking He Yuzhou back.
Nu Yi was trembling all over, feeling uncomfortable when his body touched the woman's soft skin, but his complexion was inexplicably hot, he turned his head and shouted to He Yuzhou: "Xiaozhou, you go home first."
He Yuzhou's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he followed Nu Yi to the door.
