a tavern

I stopped shopping in the market, and finally boarded the carriage for the return journey "without any risk". Unfortunately, the space in the carriage was too small, and there were five large jars of wine, which just enough to squeeze Wen Cheng and Wen Yi, and I still had to lose two. People are thinner, or they really can't fit.

It's all right now, it's difficult to even turn around, the distance between the two is only three or four fists.However, the high-spirited and ambitious Wen Cheng was still babbling about her "big plans and great careers". After drinking some wine, she was agitated and spitting stars flew all over the place.

Wen Yi doesn't want to hurt her self-confidence, but also doesn't want to be hit by a "dart".

"When I saw Zuiying Tower today, I knew there were mountains beyond the mountains and people beyond the people. Looking at it now, Baiyue Tower is really nothing! In the future, our Fugui Restaurant will not only be the first restaurant in Jiuxing Town, but also Yiling The first one in the city, it’s several times better than that Zuiying Building!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, raised his index finger, and gestured for "one".

Baiyuelou is the best restaurant in Jiuxing Town, and somehow it provoked her.

"Yes, yes, Fugui Restaurant is better!" Wen Yi held her hand, afraid of accidentally waving her, and echoed.Well, no matter how many scenes she saw, her elder sister was still a humble person.Wen Yi smiled at the corner of his mouth and shook his head, but even so, it can't be said that he has no ambitions, it can't be said to be a bad thing, maybe, being ordinary is a blessing!

"A Yi, let's work hard together! Okay?" Wen Cheng held Wen Yi's hand tightly with both hands, staring at Wen Yi with indescribable deep friendship: "Take us Better days! Better than anyone else! Just the two of us!"

Simple and unpretentious is the most touching. For some reason, looking at Wen Cheng's sincere eyes, Wen Yi's eye sockets are a little hot. In such a huge world, with tens of thousands of people, how difficult it is to find someone who is willing to live a good life with you, Wen Yi I don't know, but she knew that at this moment, she was really moved by Wen Cheng, and Wen Yi choked up a little: "I am willing!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words finished, Wen Cheng shook his head, leaned against the wine tank and closed his eyes, falling asleep!It really makes people itch with hatred, Wen Yi is full of enthusiasm, it's a chicken-and-duck talk!

An angry Wen Yi pinched her face, of course, he didn't hit her hard.Needless to say, the skin is smooth and feels good, Wen Yi nodded, calmed down her dissatisfaction, and gently rubbed her two fingers...

The wine tank is a hard object, it will be bad if it hits the head!Wen Yi moved slowly, turned her body slightly, and let Wen Cheng's head rest on her shoulder.Fortunately, Wen Cheng was drunk and just sleeping soundly. If he got drunk and made a fuss, he would make a big head and two big heads.

Dangling, swaying to Jiuxing Town, the sky is already dark, and the days are short in winter.Wen Cheng fell asleep all the way, and almost woke up.After unloading the wine, settled the bill with the driver, and moved the wine into the store, the last light disappeared into the sky, and today's work was finally done!

When I got home, I was exhausted, and no one remembered buying a copper stove or a silver stove, and no one even mentioned it.As for the almost forced marriage today, Wen Cheng intentionally avoided it, and when Wen Yi mentioned it, she found an excuse to avoid it.

The two casually ate some dinner, washed up, slept together, and fell asleep peacefully. The posture of being familiar with the road is like a habit that has been done thousands of times...

As usual, Wen Yi wakes up gently in the faint morning light, who knows, when she opens her eyes, she sees Wen Cheng, who is smiling and lying on his side with his arms on his pillow, looking at her.what the hell?Could it be that the wine has not sobered up yet?Wen Yi regained clarity in an instant.

"A Yi, are you awake?" Wen Cheng greeted.

Wen Yi nodded angrily, isn't this a question knowingly? !

"After thinking about it, if I go to sleep in the study without a stove in this world of ice and snow, I will definitely not be able to do it." Obviously, no one can do it, so just buy a stove?Obviously it has been discussed before.

Wen Yi listened patiently to her old story, and seemed to have come up with some new trick: "The purchase of a copper stove and the charcoal fire for the whole winter are probably not a small expense. You know, after the new year, I plan to Expanding the restaurant..." The more he said, the lower his voice was, and he lowered his head slowly, as if he had done something wrong.

"Then you still want to rely on me?!" Wen Yi raised her eyebrows, with a playful look on her face, fortunately someone couldn't see her, and her voice was calm: Who told her to look like she was wronged, in fact, she wanted to live Why not?Wen Yi just couldn't help but want to blame her a few words, since she is recognized as a family member, why should she be so alien?

"What is Lai? You were so polite and kind before me." Wen Cheng was wronged when he heard this, and complained: "You are not treating me well now!"

which?Isn't it just that before revealing her identity, because of "her" male status, she pays more attention to treating each other with courtesy.

Regardless of whether he agrees or not, Wen Cheng made up his mind, according to Wen Yi, "Lai" is here!Just need to find some other excuse.In fact, although buying a stove and adding some charcoal cost some money, it was definitely beyond Wencheng's ability to afford it.

After these two nights, Wen Cheng really didn't want to go back to the bleak winter alone. He wanted someone to accompany him. It was the heart that had been lonely for a long time and had been looking forward to it.Warm, fragrant, and harmonious. Before going to bed, we chatted a few words about homework and new knowledge, which made her happy.In the fragile winter day, it is even more hopeful.

"I promise, I will go back to the study to sleep as soon as spring begins!" Wen Cheng raised his head, serious and firm, but found Wen Yi's slightly curved pupils, a smile on the corner of his lips, nodding his head lightly, no need to say more.She was also taken aback when she saw it, and smiled at each other...

The business of Fugui Restaurant is as usual... But after seeing the style of "Zuiyinglou", Wen Cheng does have an idea to make Fugui Restaurant a higher level, not just talking nonsense after drinking.Even a sparrow has a dream of soaring into the sky, let alone a human being?Without pursuit, even if you have exhausted your vigor and vitality.

It is not Wencheng and the others who can afford the grandeur and magnificence of the restaurant. The renovation and expansion can only be done on paper for the time being. The Fugui Restaurant is only such a big place. place.

Wen Cheng pondered that this way didn't seem to work, so he had to find another way to make the business of Fugui Restaurant flourish.

Or else, planting flowers intentionally but not blooming, but unintentionally planting willows and willows to make shade, just when Wen Cheng was about to give up this way, things took a turn for the better.

God rewards hard work, and those who are willing to work hard sometimes have good luck.No, sleepy, someone sent a pillow.On the right side of Fugui Restaurant is a tailor shop. The owners, Mr. and Mrs. Wang, have been in business for decades. Seeing that they are too old to work or manage the shop.

There is a son in the Wang family, but he did not inherit his father's career. He devoted himself to reading sage books, and after all, if he is good at learning, he will become an official.Now he is indeed squeezed into the first-class ranks. Although he is only a ninth rank, he is a junior magistrate. At least he has got rid of the low-level hat of "scholar, farmer, businessman and businessman". It is not an exaggeration to say that his ancestors are glorious.

Besides, the son of the Wang family has read the books of sages and sages for nothing. Thinking that his parents are old and wants to take the two old people to the city to live up to their old age, he wants to push this tailor shop out. He is eager to sell, and the price has dropped a lot.

Therefore, two days ago, there was an extra notice at the entrance of Wang's tailor shop: The shop is urgently given up.

For Wencheng, this was indeed a good thing that he couldn't find even with a lantern, except for one difficulty: there was still a shortage of silver to sell the Wang's tailor shop, and the price was 1000 taels, which was really not expensive to be honest.But Wencheng's property on hand is only about 700 taels, which is a little bit short.

I heard that there are still a few people who are interested in this store. The location is good and the price is cheap. I don't blame others for being tempted.It's just that most people want to wait and see for a while. There are a lot of places to spend money at the end of the year. Most of them are sold at a lower price than usual. Waiting to sell may be more affordable.Therefore, there are quite a few people who are not greedy enough.

In the past few days, Wen Cheng has been in a hurry, getting angry more than a little bit.For others, taking advantage of it is an advantage.For Wencheng, it was the right time and place, a great opportunity sent by God, and it was very important for the development of Fugui Restaurant.The expansion of a restaurant is not just a matter of talking about it. In addition to strong financial resources, opportunities are also essential.

The restaurant wants to expand, unless it is to change the location, how can there be a place to come? !When doing business, you need to focus on foundation, feng shui, and wealth luck. It is not easy to find a suitable place for your business. How can you just change it? As far as businesses are concerned, they will generally not move their "nest" unless there are unexpected circumstances, such as this time .

In the study room without a stove, under the dim candlelight, Wen Cheng was lying on the table, scratching the abacus, writing and drawing, counting the pile of money and deeds spread on the table, shaking his head from time to time.During the day, Wen Cheng took the time to go back to the pawn shop, pawned a few things at home that could be sold for a little money, and reassessed the total.Looking at it like this, I'm afraid it still won't work.

Wen Yi felt a little distressed when he was here in the cold, and he brought a cup of hot tea over and put it on the table: "Ah Cheng, it's not enough, let's make another plan. Now, even if we count more After many times, the money will not come out, let's go back to the room first!"

It's a bit strange to say, a few days ago, Wen Yi changed the name of Wen Cheng again, unless he occasionally called "Brother Cheng" to deceive people's eyes and ears, usually, just like Wen Cheng called Wen Yi "A Yi", just called She "A Cheng" said that she didn't know her age, she didn't want to be taken advantage of, and she didn't change her words.

Of course, Wen Cheng expressed his position on this matter and refused to admit it. She really didn't want the excuse of "using the big to bully the small" to disappear all at once.He firmly insisted that "I am your sister", and he liked to shout or not.

"I remembered!" Wen Cheng suddenly slapped his head, stood up, flipped through the books on the table, his tone could not hide his excitement: "At the beginning of last year, I lent the owner of the Shengfeng rice shop on Qianjie—Boss Zhou 100 The taels are used to turn over the business and expire at the end of this year. I will find out the IOU and ask to see if he can return it to me earlier.” Adding 100 taels and interest, the difference should be close.

If it's not in the book on the table, it's on the shelf.Wen Chengzai thought about it carefully, guessed it was one of the two rows of books above, and started rummaging through it.Wen Yi caught a glimpse of five rows on the bookshelf, and each row was filled to the brim. One person flipped through the books one by one, and didn't know when he would be able to find them.It's getting late, if it continues, it will definitely affect my rest, and I have to get up early to open the shop tomorrow, so I also come to help.

But what she didn't know was that the IOUs were probably in the upper two rows.She squatted down, and started to turn over from the bottom layer, turning over and over.Suddenly, I didn't know what I touched, and with a crisp sound of "Kang Dang", something fell from the bookshelf to the ground.It was probably hidden behind the book, and Wen Yi accidentally knocked it off while looking for something.

"This is... a sword?" Wen Yi picked up the dropped object, approached the candle, vaguely recognized it, and asked casually, without answering.Then he turned around, only to see Wen Cheng's dumbfounded expression...
