Breeding Mermaid Cubs

"There is a wine cabinet to be made in front of the front hall. There are no other special requirements, as long as it is decorated according to the usual restaurant."

The shop used to have a front desk for the cloth business, so there is no need to install new ones, but it is not easy to build a wine cabinet next to the wall. The wine cabinet must have a large load-bearing capacity for a large wine jar.

"It doesn't have to be, it's fine if it's usually heavy, and there won't be too many wines, it's mainly for decoration."

The master carpenter nodded: "That's easy."

"As long as it's upstairs, you need to pay more attention to it. Cloth and sundries used to be piled up."

"Your Majesty, just don't worry, our team has remodeled many shops in the city, and we will definitely do it properly for you." The old master said again: "I just don't know if you can rush the construction period. It will take more than a month to complete, after all, you have also customized some tables, chairs and benches."

"If you don't rush, just follow the normal schedule."

Wang Qing's family is clear, and speeding up the progress is another price.

After prepaying the decorator's money, Wang Qingye's pockets were completely empty. Fortunately, he only had to pay the deposit, otherwise he would not be able to pay back so much if he took it all at once, and now he just waited at the stall to earn some money.

In fact, the stalls make a lot of money, but this month's expenses are too high, and some supplies are insufficient. I can only hope that the new shops will open sooner.

In the first few days, he was afraid that the members of the construction team would be dishonest, so Wang Qingye supervised the work in the shop, and he could be the second in command when there was nothing to do.

After a few days, Mian Shu has already stepped on the land of the academy thoroughly. In the first two days, he was afraid of being late for entering the academy and would be punished. Zhou Zhu came to pick up things and set up a stall, so he followed him, and then went to the academy together. The master hasn't come yet, and he has to wait for a stick of incense in the academy before going to class.

Master Xu's lectures were really boring, his tone was long and drawn out, and he shook his head, which almost made people fall asleep, hindering the majesty of his master, he insisted on not falling asleep.

Now they are familiar with each other, and they will never go to the academy with Zhou Zhu in the morning, and they have to sleep until there is still a stick of incense before going to school, and then they are too lazy, Wang Qingye directly took the fish from the bathtub Pick it up and put on the clothes and send them directly.

He leaned on his elbows and looked at the bamboos outside the window. After winter, the leaves withered and turned yellow, and they were not as green as in summer.

"Trance again!"

With a slap, Mianshu shrank his head, stretched out his hand to cover the head hit by the book, and when he turned around, he didn't know when Master Xu was standing in front of him.

"Do you remember the "Children's Learning Qionglin" that I showed you yesterday?"

Mian Shu frowned, just watch it, and memorize it, the problem is that I didn't read it yesterday, and after school, I pestered Wang Qingye to take him to the cricket hall to watch the fighting crickets, and eat in the city at night. After a meal, I went back to bed and fell asleep. How could I have time to watch "Children Learning Qionglin".

"Of course I remember what the master told me."

"Really? It's not difficult for you, you can recite a passage yourself and I'll listen to it."

Mian Shu's pupils dilated, Mr. Xu must be too serious!If only I had glanced at it yesterday, I wouldn't be unable to recite a single word.

Master Xu looked at the young man who was smiling bitterly at him, shaking his beard, and said angrily, "Stretch out your hand."

Mian Shu had a bitter face: "I will definitely remember to memorize it today."

Master Xu drew out his ruler: "If you don't reach out, call your brother."

Mian Shu immediately stretched out her hand, and with a snap, all the students in the classroom shivered.

"Come to me to recite before school today, and you are not allowed to leave after you have recited it." Master Xu returned to the podium with a sad face, and said to all the students: "Everyone come to recite."

Ai Ai sat down during the stretching period, and a big red and swollen lump appeared on his white palm. He pursed his mouth, Master Xu was too strict.

After a while, someone rang the get out of class bell, Mr. Xu was asked to leave by the supervisor, and the classroom was full of complaints.There are twelve students in the teaching room, the youngest is six or seven years old, and the oldest is fourteen or fifteen years old. Most of them are children who are relatively well-to-do, the kind who spend their days at home.

Most of these students’ family requirements are not high, either they are supported by older brothers, or there are already scholars or scholars in the lintel, and they must be outstanding even if they don’t ask.

"Mianshu, are you okay? I don't know why Master is so angry today."

"I heard that Mr. Xu accepted a favorite student and didn't write the essay well. Isn't this a quick country test? Not only the students are anxious, but the master is also anxious."

"It's just that Mianshu has suffered."

Mian Shu sighed, his palms were numb and painful, he wanted to take a sip of Coke to relieve his grief, but found that the jar was empty, he widened his eyes, looked at the two classmates around him: "Ah! Who are you Steal my drink!"

Jiang Yu in the front raised his hand weakly: "I see you are drinking every day, so I am curious about what you are drinking. Don't be angry. I will bring you chestnut cake tomorrow."

Mian Shu let out a sigh of relief: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you."

"By the way, where did you buy this drink? It tastes so special. It's a bit like wine, and it's a bit like plum soup, but it doesn't taste like it."

"You drank too!"

Tian Yuchen, who knew he was leaking, quickly covered his mouth, and said with a smile, "I'll bring you osmanthus cake tomorrow."

Mian Shu shook her head helplessly, then shook her head proudly: "This is my own."

Jiang Yu said excitedly: "Really! Then can you bring me a bottle, and I can give you money."

"By the way, I don't know what your family does."

"Sell food."

Tian Yuchen asked: "Where is it? I have been to all the restaurants in the city, and the custodian said I must know."

"It's not a restaurant, it's at the market stall on Dadong Street."

"Pfft, I see that you dress up like a flower peacock every day. You say that you are a stall at home for a long time. I really don't know what to pretend."

The three of them turned their heads at the same time, and saw Pu Qing who was sitting behind flipping through a book and actually listening to someone's words, and sneered.

Jiang Yu said angrily: "You eavesdrop on what others are saying!"

"You guys are talking so loudly, you still need to eavesdrop." Pu Qing stood up and said, "Get out of the way, I'm going to find my master to endorse, I advise you to memorize the book quickly, so as not to upset the master when the time comes He was beaten on the palm again."

"you!"

Tian Yuchen hurriedly grabbed Jiangyu who was about to jump up, and looked at Mianshu.

"Don't bother with him, much ado about nothing."

Mian Shu kept in mind Wang Qingye's words that he was not allowed to cause trouble, and shrugged: "I don't want to talk to him, you all go back to your seats and read, school is over in half an hour, if you can't recite it later, the master won't let you go."

The other two sighed, returned to their seats bitterly, shook their heads and began to memorize the text. Mian Shu opened "Youth Learning Qiong Lin", it was not too long, it was much shorter than the gossip that they read at night, but This kind of book without any storyline is not good-looking, and he felt drowsy after just a few glances, and the voice of reciting in the classroom became louder and louder, and he fell asleep lying on the table while listening to it.

I was looking for my master to recite the Pu Qing book and came back without memorizing it. Master Xu was reprimanding two students who were preparing for the provincial examination. Shu openly dozed off on the table.

He snorted coldly. Among his classmates, he hated this person the most. He used his good appearance to attract everyone's kindness to him. Even his master once praised him as having a face like a crown of jade.

If the master saw him dozing off right now, he would definitely be even angrier, but how could he let the master know, just when he was bored, Master Xu came back shaking his beard.

Seeing the people in the classroom reciting the book seriously, Master Xu's face looked better, and Pu Qing hurriedly went to bear the brunt of it to show that he didn't memorize "Children's Learning Qionglin" smoothly, but luckily he memorized it all.

Master Xu twirled his beard: "That's right, you are the one who can put in the most hard work in the classroom. Go back and smooth it out."

"Yes, thank you for your teaching." Pu Qing's eyes moved: "Is Mianshu feeling unwell today?"

Master Xu followed his gaze and slapped the ruler angrily: "This kid! He was still alive and kicking just now, you can't teach a child! Go, go and call him over."

"Master, don't be angry, Xu Shi Mianshu is really not in good spirits today, I hope Master will not blame you."

"You go quickly."

"Yes, yes." Pu Qing turned around and was almost happy.

"Mianshu!" He slapped the person twice to wake him up, and looked coldly at the sleepy-eyed person: "Master asked you to recite the book."

Mian Shu was not very happy, but when she opened her eyes and saw the annoying face, she immediately woke up.

Impatiently said: "Got it, got it."

Pu Qing sneered: "I want to see if you can still be so proud when you can't recite it later."

Mian Shu cast a sideways glance, and walked slowly towards the podium, Jiang Yu and Tian Yuchen looked at each other worriedly.

"I asked you to recite the book, and you have written it down? You are still sleeping. Are you not paying attention to me? Or do you think the previous punishment was not enough!"

"No, no, I wrote it down before going to bed."

Master Xu snorted, "Okay, then you can recite it and let me listen to it."

"The beginning of chaos, the beginning of the universe......"

Mianshu took a breath and recited it smoothly without stopping. Master Xu looked around a few times, but he didn't see any entrainment, and his hands were also recited well. It didn't seem to be cheating at all. He felt a little puzzled, and said: " Recite the third line of the fourth paragraph again."

Mian Shuru recited it again.

Master Xu's face softened a lot, and he said patiently: "I remember well, go on down, don't doze off in the future, and read other books when you remember, study is the most important thing. You are talented, don't Laziness has ruined your talent, if you study hard, you might be able to enter the capital from high school like Huaizhi in the past, and become an official in the court."

He didn't want to be an official in high school, he just wanted to learn arithmetic and show Wang Qingye the shop's plan at home: "I see, thank you for your teaching."

Mian Shu slowly returned to his seat, Jiang Yu was dumbfounded: "The master is not angry, have you recited it?"

"Of course I recited it, otherwise the Master would not have ordered me to stand outside with the book as punishment."

Jiang Yu laughed out loud: "You are really there, you are a child prodigy! You only took a few glances, and Pu Qing's face turned green."

For the small ones, he never forgets them in his photograph, and said softly: "His face is still angry, it is green in the first place."

Pu Qing clenched his fists secretly, this brat actually memorized the book secretly to trick him!

As soon as the school bell rang, Mianshu packed her things and left the classroom on time. The envious students in the classroom who hadn't memorized "Children Learning Qionglin" eagerly watched.

"Whatever you look at, I will recite your words carefully, I am too lax with you on weekdays."

Mian Shu waved to Master: "Master Xu will see you tomorrow."

Listening to that crisp voice, Master Xu didn't raise his head, he just looked at the article in his hand, but he still replied: "Go back and remember to review your homework."

"Yes."

As soon as Mianshu left, a senior brother came into the teaching room to look for Mr. Xu to read the article. The township examination was approaching, and it was the busiest time.He saw that Qin Minglang was also behind him, his brows were full of sorrow, it seemed that he was trying to worry about his hometown.

"Qin Tongsheng."

Qin Minglang was about to enter the study room when a female envoy suddenly stopped him. School is over now, and ordinary students can leave if they don’t have the Master Study Abroad Hall, but candidates for the rural examination have to go to late school. Someone will come in and deliver the food.

"Why is the girl here?"

Qin Minglang saw that there were people all around him: "Let's talk here."

He walked to the bamboo forest in the garden, and Mian Shu also followed in a catty pace.

"Miss asked me to send this to Tongsheng. The country test is coming soon. You get up early and stay late. Don't get tired. It will not be worth the loss if it affects the test."

Qin Minglang gripped the book tightly: "Your lady is bothering you, don't bother in the future."

"How can it be troublesome, this pastry is made by the lady herself, and the food is also specially ordered from Yuehua Building."

Qin Minglang's heart moved: "Tell Miss for me, thank her for her kindness, you can keep the food box."

The female envoy was relieved when she heard this, and she had completed the task that the lady told her: "Okay, then I will come to pick up the food box tomorrow."

"Trouble girl."

Mian Shu frowned, there really is such a scholar, even if he eats two meals, he won't be afraid of breaking his belly.

He shook his head, left the academy alone, and saw a tall man standing on the side of the street waiting for him from a distance, he waved to him quickly, and ran over excitedly.

Wang Qingye took the bookbag from Yuzai's body, smoothed the boy's messy hair, and said, "Did you study well in the academy today?"

"I forgot to watch "Children's Qionglin" yesterday, and today my master couldn't memorize it." Mian Shu looked at Wang Qingye pitifully, and spread his palms: "I was beaten by my master."

Wang Qingye saw that there was a swelling on the palm of his hand, which was now a little reddish purple because of his white skin. He felt a little convulsed when he saw it, but he couldn't complain about his master, so he comforted and said softly: "I'll wipe you with medicinal wine when I go back. The swelling subsides quickly."

"You don't even call me."

Wang Qingye smiled helplessly, and blew on his palm in a decent manner: "It's all right."

Mian Shu suddenly became happy, and took Wang Qingye's hand and jumped up and down: "It's still early today, let's go to sea."

Wang Qingye frowned: "Are you feeling unwell?"

Mian Shu shook her head: "I'm not uncomfortable, I have something to give you."

Wang Qingye laughed and said, "You want to send me fish?"

Mian Shu glared at him, and ran to the front alone.

Wang Qingye didn't expect to go out to sea to catch any fish at this time, so he just took it back to the sea with the cubs for a while. The cubs just had feet, and they had feet before they reached adulthood. , and runs outside every day, and only turns back to his tail at night when he sleeps. After all, he is still worried about any side effects, and being able to go back to the sea occasionally is an extra layer of security.

"Well, let me tell Zhou Zhu to buy some meat. When the time comes, it's nothing to fish for. Bring it back and cook it together. In the evening, I will ask Uncle Zhang to have supper together."

"it is good."

After confessing to Zhou Zhu, the two went to the beach together.

The fishermen by the sea took a deep breath when they saw the young man who hadn't appeared at the seaside for some days.

"I'll go, this kid is here again."

On the contrary, some people also greeted Wang Qingye: "Your Majesty, why are you going to sea so late today?"

"How's Uncle Zou's harvest today?"

"It's better than the previous days. The sea is calm now, and I can more or less wake up."

Wang Qingye pushed the boat into the sea, and jumped onto the boat with Mianshu in his arms: "I'm taking the children out to see the sea, you are busy."

The fisherman waved to him.

It’s almost the fishing moratorium in the Muhai Sea. These days, the fishermen are trying their best to earn more money for the New Year. Besides, after Mianshu stopped making trouble in the sea, the sea has returned to calm, and fishing is easier than before. Very lively.

Mian Shu stood on the bow of the boat: "Go to the rock."

Wang Qingye shook the boat: "I can only go there, there is no one there."

With the current headwind, rowing is a bit strenuous, Mian Shu saw that there were only two oars in the boat, and he couldn't help Wang Qingye, so he said, "Why don't I jump down and push the boat for you, it will be quick."

"Need not."

As soon as Wang Qingye finished speaking, there was only a thud, and immediately the boat moved forward as quickly as if it were running a motor.

He retracted the oars and went to the back of the stern: "It's hard for you to push."

Mian Shu wagged her tail: "It doesn't take any effort at all, I just pushed the water and the boat sailed."

Wang Qingye laughed, it was really like Yuzai said, and he arrived at the edge of the reef in a short while.

Mian Shu grabbed the rail of the boat: "Give me a sack."

"Do you want to catch fish one by one? Just play in the sea for a while. I put the ground cage down, and I can catch as many as I can."

"Just give it to me."

Wang Qingye had no choice but to turn around and found him a small bag, Mianshu took it and plunged into the water, a string of cold water splashed across a beautiful arc, and disappeared immediately.

The reef is only a small piece of rock on the sea surface, but it gets bigger and bigger as it goes down. Mianshu lived under this reef every day when he was in the sea before. He collected a lot of pearls from nearby and put them in the In a hole under the reef, it was originally said to be given to Wang Qingye, but I forgot it when I was happy to follow someone back.

If Pu Qing hadn't joked that their family was just a small stall owner today, he would have forgotten about the pearls. Although he doesn't know how much the pearls are worth, he should be able to exchange some. By then, Wang Qingye will have a lot of money Now, you don’t have to work so hard to go out early and return late.

He grabbed the pearls and put them into the sack. After all, the Damu Sea was not like the Mermaid Palace in the deep sea. The pearls were few and small. He searched the whole sea but didn't collect many.

Wang Qingye fished at the bow of the boat for a long time but did not see any small fish coming up. He wondered if he had gone to catch the fish farther away. He took out the bell from his waist and shook it. It really worked. Mianshu jumped out of the water.

Mian Shu held the rail of the boat with one hand, raised the heavy small bag in his hand, raised his clean chin, and smiled with eyes crooked: "Quick! It's for you, take it!"

Seeing that the thing in a small bag didn't look like seafood, Wang Qingye asked suspiciously, "What is this?"

"Of course it's a good thing."

Mianshu cocked her tail and flipped onto the boat: "Open it quickly."

Wang Qingye opened the sack suspiciously, with a frown, the seafood turned into pearls!

He didn't expect that Mianshu brought him here to pick up the pearls. The round and big white pearls are shiny, the big ones are as big as a thumb, and the smallest ones are the size of a little finger. The most rare thing is these pearls Good condition, the bead surface is not polished and is very smooth.

"The pearls in this sea are not in good condition. Someday I will go back to the deep sea and bring you better pearls."

Afraid that Wang Qingye would not like it, Mian Shu tilted her head to see his reaction, and quickly added another sentence.

"Is the pearl in the deep sea a night pearl? It's not good in appearance?"

"In this way, I just crushed it and put it on the tail. There are pearls the size of eggs in the deep sea. They are big, white and smooth. It's a pity that I didn't bring them with me when I came out."

Wang Qingye looked at a sack of pearls, which weighed at least ten kilograms, and his expression was more or less complicated. At the beginning, taking Mianshu back was just a word to tease him, but he didn't expect it to make him think that he liked pearls very much. Remember.

"What's the matter, don't you like it? Didn't you say you like pearls before?"

Wang Qingye stroked the shiny white beads with his fingertips, and said with a faint smile, "No, I like it very much, but I don't know how much time you have spent collecting these pearls."

Mian Shu was happy when Wang Qingye said he liked it: "It won't take long, and as long as you like it, it doesn't matter if you spend more time."

Wang Qingye couldn't help but felt his heart soften, and touched his cheek dripping with water, his cub was really not in vain.

Mian Shu rubbed against Wang Qingye's palm: "Are these pearls worth anything?"

"Naturally it is valuable."

"Then let's sell it quickly."

Wang Qingye laughed: "It's not stolen, so why sell it in such a hurry?"

"With a little more money, our restaurant can open earlier, and then I can go there and make plans."

"Have you learned how to plan from Mr. Xu?"

.........

The two returned to the shore near nightfall. They came out late, and there were not many seafood, but they gained a lot.

Wang Qingye returned home with miscellaneous fish and seafood in a basket. At that moment, Zhou Zhu had already lit a lantern in the yard, and he could see that his yard was very bright from afar.

Mian Shu ran ahead and entered the yard. There was already a lot of food prepared inside. There was also barbecue sold at the stall before. Zhou Zhu knew how to make a mess, so everything was prepared and he was waiting for Wang Qingye and Mian Shu to come back.

"Mianshu went to the house to get some wine and drinks from our family. I used to call Yan'er and Uncle Wu."

The mutton skewers are sizzling with oil on the grill, sprinkled with a little pepper and cumin, and the fragrance can be smelled half the street. Today, I made a barbecue at home. The food is very rich. Several people lean on the chairs, Eating barbecue and drinking beer, so happy.

"What kind of wine is this? How does it taste so different? It's slightly bitter, but refreshing. Unlike other wines, you need to sip slowly. The more you sip, the more comfortable you are."

A mouthful of mutton and a mouthful of beer, I can't stop.

Wang Qingye didn't explain where the wine came from, and said: "If I open a small restaurant and use this wine as a sign, Wu Bo thinks there will be business?"

"If that's the case, then the business must be gone!"

"Uncle Wu is the most eloquent and obedient."

Zhang Wu waved his hand: "It is absolutely sincere. When you really sell this wine, I will be a regular customer. It is good wine, not intoxicating, has the taste of wine, and is refreshing!"

Mian Shu brought a plate of roasted oysters with vermicelli and garlic to Wang Qingye: "Brother Zhou Zhu just roasted it, eat it while it's hot."

Wang Qingye kept one, and it is better for single men to eat less at night: "Keep it for Brother Zhou Zhu, he likes it."

Zhang Wu laughed meaningfully.

"Zhou Zhu, your craftsmanship is getting better and better."

"It's not that Mr. Lang taught me well."

Wang Qingye smiled, and touched a wine bottle with Zhang Wu. Although his opinion is not enough for reference, with Zhang Wu's words, Wang Qingye still has more confidence in the opening of the restaurant.

The author has something to say: Mian Shu: As long as you like it, how about spending more time?
