[Red House] Release a concubine and have children

The news that Zhougong Noodle House will soon launch more than a dozen kinds of noodles directly blows up all the guests present.

After they reacted, these guests couldn’t wait to open their mouths one by one, wanting to know what kinds of these dozen kinds of noodles were. For a while, there was a lot of noise in Zhou Gong’s noodle restaurant. Of course, they knew that this was a place for selling noodles. I know, I'm afraid I still think it's a vegetable market.

But this is a secret. It is already an exception for Fu Li to say more than a dozen numbers and tell everyone that there are all kinds of flavors. If there are more, she will naturally not say any more.

but……

"Although there is no way for everyone to eat new noodles for the time being, the original small noodles have added nearly ten kinds of newly researched saozi. Starting tomorrow, when you order noodles, you can order one according to your own taste. To some extent, this can barely be regarded as a new type of noodle, right? Please continue to support the business of the noodle shop.”

There are not many kinds of scorpion seeds launched this time, but new varieties have been added to each kind of scorpion seeds

Such as tomatoes, such as green peppers, such as colored peppers, such as...

In short, it will definitely make most guests feel novel and satisfied.

Fu Li originally thought about whether to add peanuts, but she simply gave up because of the news that many people in modern times who did not know that they were allergic to peanuts ended up eating peanuts by mistake because the allergic reaction was too intense and the rescue was ineffective. up.The new store is about to open, she better not let it have any surprises.

After saying this, Fu Li simply carried Brother Jin into the noodle shop.

The left-behind guests lined up in a long line, but their hearts were as curious as a cat's paw, and they wanted to know what was going on no matter what.

But even the insiders in the noodle shop can't use it as a gimmick before the noodles are launched to increase the topicality.

I believe that it won't be long before the news that Zhougong noodle shop will open a branch and the noodle shop owner will open a Chuan Chuanxiang shop will spread from the mouths of old customers.

The fact is exactly the same, and it didn't take long for the news to spread throughout the entire city of Bazhou.

Because of the hot pepper, small noodles, and tomato egg noodles, after the news came out, not all the people in Bazhou Fucheng, but at least everyone who had heard of Zhougong Noodle House, or heard of the new emergence of hot pepper for more than a year People who are new to things are very curious, and they all want to find out about the situation at Zhougong Noodle House.

When these guests come, they can't order nothing, can they?Otherwise, even if you want to ask someone for news, who will care about you?

Some people have money, so they line up directly to eat noodles at the noodle shop. While ordering, they can ask the waiters in the shop, and they can always get a few words of information they want; I was willing to throw out several copper coins in order to satisfy my little curiosity, so I simply changed teams and went directly to buy skewers that cost at least one penny and at most four pennies.

The cook is standing in front of the cooking pot, as long as you pay, he can answer any questions you ask

Originally, the most expensive items were fish balls and sliced ​​meat worth two pennies, but the sliced ​​meat would be cooked in less than three seconds after being scalded in a pot. There is no way to pay attention to every skewer in time.Later, Fu Li saw that the cook was overwhelmed with work because of the meat slices. After thinking about it, he simply asked someone to beat all the pork, mutton and other meats into meatballs. By the way, he pushed out the pissing beef balls that she had always liked in her previous life.

A string of four pennies is the pissing cow ball.

For a while, there were two long queues in front of the Zhougong noodle shop every day, one was naturally waiting to enter the shop to eat noodles, and the other came for the newly launched Chuan Chuan Xiang.

Because of this, even the business of Zhougong Noodle Restaurant, which had a decline in turnover, improved a bit. The profit, which had fallen to just over 400 taels, also soared that month.

This is no different from the money earned when Zhougong Noodle Restaurant first opened.

This is a surprise.

Zhou Gong stood upright the money he earned this month, and he was so happy from ear to ear, he felt much more energetic.

But that is what happened later. For now, the news has only just come out. Even if everyone is shocked by the news, it is impossible to put wings on the news and let it fly all over the city of Bazhou.

Fu Li entered the noodle shop and went to the backyard with Zhou Gong.

When she came here today, she really came to him for something: "Daddy Zhou, when I went to the branch of Zhougong Noodle Restaurant to inspect the decoration of the store yesterday, I saw a sneaky person outside the door."

Duke Zhou frowned suddenly: "Someone is sneaking around nearby? But someone you know?"

"No," Fu Li Dian looked at Brother Jin in his arms, and after teasing him so that his brows and eyes turned into crescents, he smiled and said, "It's a stranger. The key is that he looks rich in his clothes, not like They are ordinary people, not to mention local ruffians. I think they are very similar to servants of some status in those rich families."

The favored maids of the Rongguo Mansion also wear gold and silver, and their attire is no worse than that of the daughters and wives of ordinary wealthy families. However, due to their status, no matter how good the style and color of the clothes are, many fabrics cannot be used on the upper body.

The person who was wandering around the branch was not wearing clothes that ordinary people could afford, but the fabric was ordinary, so Fu Li had such a guess.

There were quite a few people like this at the beginning of the opening of Zhou Gong Noodle Restaurant. They were all servants sent by competitors in the same industry to inquire about the situation. They would not do anything to Fu Li or Zhou Gong Noodle Restaurant because of this. Will not take it to heart.But when Fu Li just passed by, she walked past him and was stopped by him as a passerby to inquire about the branch store. She was very surprised to find that the accent of the man was not that of a local in Bazhou.

It's obviously a bit of tough Bazhou dialect, but it's made limp by his accent. It's not a local at first glance, and it has the taste of Wu Nong's soft language from Jiangnan.

If her guess is true, Jiangnan Liba

The state capital is also too far away. It is impossible for Fu Li's original guess to be sent by a competitor to inquire about the situation!

Fu Li subconsciously thought of Qian Da.

After all, in her impression, the original owner had never been to Jiangnan, and after she transmigrated, the only contact with Jiangnan was Qian Da.

But soon, Fu Li realized something was wrong.

Because Qian Da only sent a letter back to Bazhou not long ago, and it was clearly mentioned that he had just hooked up with the fourth prince not long ago. Still just a kid.Although he is a young guy who cannot be easily pushed out to be cannon fodder to die, but he is only special in this way, it is impossible to make enemies with others, let alone be thought of as sending people from thousands of miles to find out where he is. The situation in Bazhou Prefecture, and it was quite accurate to find Zhougong Noodle Restaurant.

Since it is impossible for that person to come here for money, who is he here for?

Fu Li was stunned for a long time before he thought of the enemy that Duke Zhou mentioned earlier.

Isn't the Xue family rooted in Jinling in the south of the Yangtze River?

Fu Li raised her heart at that moment, and when she had fooled the man, she hurried home with Brother Jin in her arms.

It's just that Brother Jin may have been in contact with that person for too long, so he developed an allergic reaction to the spices on that person

In the south of the Yangtze River, no matter the literati or the daughters of the boudoir, they all have a special liking for spices, and even the servants around them like to smoke with spices that their masters don't want.

Because of this, Fu Li hugged Brother Jin before returning home, and Brother Jin had a fever.

Fu Li thought that the man was just here to investigate the situation, and he couldn't easily do anything to the noodle shop, so he put all his attention on Brother Jin.The strange thing is that after carrying Jin Geer into the space this time, not only did the heat on Jin Geer's body not start to drop, but it started to rise rapidly with the temperature that could be felt in the palm of his hand, which almost scared Fu Li out of his wits.

Without hesitation for a moment, she quickly hugged Brother Jin and left the space.What's even more strange is that the temperature that had been rising slowly dropped after Brother Jin just left the space.

Fu Li had no choice but to invite a doctor to check, and only then did he know that Brother Jin had an allergic reaction to spices.

She didn't dare to let Jin Geer enter the space again, so she could only take care of her for most of the night in undressed clothes. It was not until the middle of the night that Jin Geer's body temperature returned to normal.Fu Li endured exhaustion again until dawn, and after confirming that brother Jin's condition did not relapse, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

When the mother and son woke up again, Duke Zhou and his wife had already arrived at the noodle shop.

Fu Li was thinking about what he discovered yesterday, and wanted to remind Duke Zhou, so he got up quickly and packed up before going out.

Because he had just been ill, Brother Jin was clingier than usual, and Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Tian also left home, so Fu Li could only bring him to the noodle shop.

Fortunately, Brother Jing seemed to be really allergic to the spices on that man's body. Countless pedestrians passed by on the road, and they didn't show any discomfort.

A flash of light flashed quickly in Fu Li's mind, but because he had been focusing on the identity of that person, he didn't have time to catch that light.But it's okay, I don't think it's a big deal.

After hearing Fu Li's speculation, Duke Zhou became gloomy.

He was silent for a long time, and then he asked: "You tell me about that person's appearance, accent, and questions. Maybe it's not someone sent by that person?"

Because he was worried that his wife would be hurt, Zhou Gong kept the hatred in his heart all these years, and he didn't dare to say anything, let alone go to the government to report the case, because he needed to pass by the government office for other things, in order to avoid misunderstanding, he would go out of his way detour.Over the years, the closest he was to the official post was when the magistrate brought two fellow magistrates to Zhou Gong's noodle restaurant to eat noodles, but even that time, he never appealed to the grievances buried in his heart.

He is so peaceful, so the Xue family is still not at ease?

Fu Li couldn't bear it, but he still repeated all the questions that the man asked him. Listen, they were all asking for news about Duke Zhou.

Zhou Gong was so angry that he trembled all over, and he almost didn't turn over directly.

Fortunately, Fu Li found out that something was wrong in time, and quickly reached out to catch him, thus avoiding the fate of Zhou Gong falling down.

After such a scare, Duke Zhou also calmed down slowly: "It should be the Xue family... No, it must be the Xue family! Besides the Xue family, it is impossible for anyone else to care about me so much, want to know my recent situation so much, or even inquire about me. How is my relationship with the government?"

But why?

The spy left by the Xue family has been lurking around Duke Zhou, and the Duke Zhou noodle restaurant has been open for more than a year. If he really cares about the public noodle restaurant, why didn't the Xue family come over to inquire before?

Or, the news of Zhou Gong's noodle restaurant's booming business has only spread to Jiangnan not long ago?

But the most important thing right now is to quickly catch that person and ask him why he came here.

Fu Li and Zhou Gong had nothing to do with this matter, they could only find a way to get Qian Er to find Qian Da's former subordinates, and ask them to help find out the address of that person and the purpose of coming here this time.

Unexpectedly, the money was spent, but after those people found out that the person had some relationship with the government, they were unwilling to continue the investigation, let alone kidnap the person to ask the reason for coming to the Bazhou government this time.

Fu Li and others were at a loss as to what to do.

Unexpectedly, the Fang family father and son came to visit Mrs. Tian at this time. After hearing about this, they looked at Fu Li in surprise: "Ms. Fu can ask Mrs. Wei for help, just to investigate the purpose of a foreigner who has an evil heart suddenly coming to the Bazhou government Well, Mr. Wei will not refuse. He is an acquaintance of our Bazhou government, and he is in charge of the safety of the Bazhou government. If you know about this, maybe you don’t need to ask him for help, he will lead someone to arrest that person The investigation was clear."

Fu Li was a little hesitant, because of Wei Yan's feelings for her, she was very unwilling to have anything to do with him.

But this matter endangered the safety of Zhou Gong and his wife, she hesitated for a moment

I made a note of this method.

The next day, she came to the door with a gift.

When Wei Yan heard that Fu Li was looking for him, he almost couldn't wait to come out to pick him up himself.

Although there was no expression on his face, Fu Li, who was looking at him, could see some mild joy in his eyes.

Fu Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Long time no see, is Master Wei still okay?"

Wei Yan paused, and it took a while before he said, "Well, Mrs. Fu, please come in." After speaking, he glanced at the gift in Fu Li's hand, and reached out to receive it.

The present was meant to be given to Wei Yan, so she let go of it without any hesitation.

After entering the mansion, Wei Yan took Fu Li to the backyard directly, worried that Fu Li might misunderstand, he also explained: "I should have taken you to the study to discuss the matter, but you and I are lonely, so as not to affect Mrs. Fu Because of the reputation, I arranged the guest place to the garden pavilion, which is spacious and has no cover, and there are servants watching around, so there will be no gossip."

After hearing this, Fu Li felt very grateful for Wei Yan's thoughtful behavior. Thinking of the conversation before, she couldn't help but sigh.

Wei Yan didn't know why Fu Li sighed, his eyes darkened, and he said: "I have already learned about Mrs. Fu's intentions from Fang's father and son, and I sent people to investigate the sneaky person who was wandering around Zhou Gong's noodle shop yesterday. Then you can get definite news, so don't be too anxious, Mrs. Fu."

Fu Li was stunned, and looked at Wei Yan in disbelief: "Have you sent people to investigate?"

Wei Yan nodded: "If something is wrong with him, I will definitely have him arrested and interrogated strictly, and he will not be allowed to do anything that endangers the noodle shop or even the people in the noodle shop."

It is undeniable that after hearing this, Fu Li's heart that had been raised high in his heart fell back to its original point in an instant

No matter how dissatisfied with Wei Yan's previous attitude towards taking concubines, within the scope of his duties, Wei Yan's ability is quite convincing.Since he has made such a promise, Fu Li is naturally willing to believe it.

but……

Fu Li paused. The only purpose of her coming today was to ask Wei Yan to pay attention to the possible dangers that the restaurant and Duke Zhou might encounter. Now that it has been resolved, it seems that there is no need for her to stay?

But if you say goodbye at this time, it will be a bad impression to throw away after using it...

Wei Yan resolved Fu Li's hesitation: "Even if Mrs. Fu doesn't come today, I will find an opportunity sooner or later, and invite Mrs. Fu to come to the house to talk about it."

Fu Li was stunned: "You need me for something?"

Wei Yan turned around, took a deep look at Fu Li, and quickly smiled, then turned his head and pointed to the Huxin Pavilion not far away: "Let's go there first, the Huxin Pavilion is cool, the scenery is not bad, and it's also a good place to go." The conversation between us will not be leaked."

Wei Yan said it so solemnly, Fu Li didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he obediently followed him to the Huxin Pavilion.

The two sat down, and after the servant girl brought tea and snacks, Wei Yan directly waved away all the servants.

"I have something very important to tell you." Wei Yan lowered his eyes and didn't look into Fu Li's eyes, "but before that, I want to ask Mrs. Fu what she thinks of the Fourth Prince?"

Fu Li was a little uncertain about the reason why Wei Yan asked this question, and she was very hesitant. After a while, she chose a very safe answer: "Master Wei is joking, I am an ordinary person at the bottom of society, and I have seen the biggest Your official is the magistrate, now you mention the fourth prince... I don't know the fourth prince's name, his temperament, what he has done, etc., let alone the fourth prince, even with the magistrate. But there was only one meeting, and you suddenly asked me how I feel about the fourth prince, it was really embarrassing for me. Besides, I am just a commoner, so I dare not talk about noble people."

After a moment of silence, Wei Yan suddenly broke into a smile: "You really are not the same as ordinary women."

This word...

Fu Li raised his eyebrows: "I don't know what Master Wei said, where did you start?"

Wei Yan shook his head and said with a smile: "I once told Mrs. Fu that I am Marquis Dingwei, and everyone in the capital knows that Marquis Dingwei has an inseparable relationship with the fourth prince. Mrs. Fu, do you understand me when I say this?"

Fu Li was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, but after regaining his senses, he felt that it was not so surprising

Wei Yan, a powerful figure of the younger generation, was originally a favorite of all parties. It would be really surprising if he didn't take refuge in a certain prince.Several princes have their own advantages and disadvantages, it is not so surprising that Wei Yan would choose the fourth prince to join him.

When Fu Li tried to exchange potatoes for a chance to save Wei Yan's life, she once had such a guess.But the possibility of this is so small that she didn't really take it to heart.

Wei Yan said again: "The potatoes that Li Qing got not long ago, I will personally escort them back to Beijing soon."

Fu Li blinked, and after he understood the meaning of Wei Yan's words, he rarely felt two points of embarrassment: "Master Wei knows, my deal with Master Li?"

Wei Yan sighed and nodded, "After I came to Bazhou Mansion, Li Qing has always reported to me in person."

Understood, Wei Yan is actually Li Qing's superior.

No wonder she said before that she would exchange potatoes for a chance to save Wei Yan's life. Li Qing has been trying very hard to persuade her to give up this chance. It turns out that the root cause is here.

After thinking it over clearly, when Fu Li raised his head again, there was only pure calm in his eyes: "I don't know if Mr. Wei suddenly told me such an important matter, what exactly is he going to do?"

"I just think that Mrs. Fu should have a good impression of the fourth prince, so I want to ask Mrs. Fu if she can provide some help to the fourth prince." Wei Yan did not pretend to be a fan, but chose to directly convey the wishes of the fourth prince to Fu "After the fourth prince learned that the existence of potatoes, as well as the peppers and beets were all made by Mrs. Fu, he admired Mrs. Fu very much. Heard that Mrs. Fu had a child, and once said that she wanted to bring it to the capital. Be a companion for Xiao Shizi."

The author has something to say: I am lucky today, I will call in the afternoon, there should be an update later, but it may not be sent out at nine o'clock, everyone, don't wait until nine o'clock, don't worry, be careful
