Chapter 52 Hot Pot Rice (Catching Bugs)

The Zhou family's shop and the newly built factory building were completed smoothly.

Although the factory was built with green bricks and large tiled houses, it is completely different from the Zhou family's house. It is plain and unadorned, just an ordinary farm house.It is divided into four rooms in total, the middle two are used for working, one is used for processing ducks, and the other is used for making sausages.The two ends are for the workers to take a short break at noon, divided into two rooms for men and women.

The shop in the town was renamed Zhou's Cooked Food.Floor-to-ceiling windows are designed upstairs and downstairs, which is not very attractive in the town.When the two floor-to-ceiling windows are opened, the bright sunlight shines into the shop, making the whole shop bright and spacious.

Under the stairs on the first floor is a carp pond that is often seen in later generations of restaurants, with rockery, aquatic plants, and small snail golden carps.The gilded brush characters on the rockery are engraved with carp jumping over the dragon gate, implying beauty.

Considering that the shop is in the cooked food business, most people will buy it home and eat it at home. Occasionally, there are a few people who eat in the shop, and the first floor is completely enough for entertaining, so the second floor is converted into a bedroom for rest.Fearing that Shen Mo would be afraid of what happened before and dare not rest upstairs by himself, Zhou Jing took pains to decorate it.A long small flower bed was made at a small step width beside the French windows, in which bluegrass was planted, pink petals dotted among the emerald green leaves, and there were big red and gorgeous roses.

Although it is just such a small flower bed, it makes the whole second floor warm and dreamy.

Shen Mo and Shen Lin saw it, and not only was he not afraid, but he also tried to change his home into this.

All the chairs downstairs were ripped off and brought to the factory in the village for the workers to eat and work.

The shop was replaced with a hanging chair. This design is novel and unique, and has never appeared in the town.The hanging chair is wrapped with green fake leaves and bright red roses, wrapped in iron chains and hovering to the roof.

There is a white porcelain vase in the middle of the long table, and each vase is painted differently, such as mandarin ducks playing in the water, carp jumping over the dragon's gate, foolish men complaining about women, golden boys and jade girls.The flowers inserted are also different, there are peonies of national beauty, gorgeous roses, and lilies as pure as snow.

The counter is next to the fish pond, and there are golden toads holding money on it. Dozens of copper plates are strung together by red wires and flow into the small incense burner below.

Since the interior decoration can be clearly seen from the floor-to-ceiling windows, it has attracted the attention of many girls and daughter-in-laws before it opened.During the decoration, there were often little girls who stood in front of the window and forgot to look curiously, and ran away blushing when they were seen.If you are daring, ask when it will open, come to join us, and want to sit on the hanging chair.

In anticipation, Zhou Ji Cooked Food finally officially opened.The hot pot meals and shops of the two houses are combined, and they are all set up in the town.Knowing that people in the village were reluctant to part with money, Zhou Jing hired four cars in the town, all of which were full.

Wang Ren, Shen Lin, Cheng Yu, and Aunt Wang Ren followed the car separately to take care of the guests in the car.

The four of them carried a basket in their hands, which contained small snacks such as melon seeds, peanuts and candies.Those who get on the bus, regardless of the elderly and children, will grab a handful of sweet mouths.

Even though the business of Zhou's family and Aunt Shen's family stopped, Aunt Shen still came, mainly to ease the relationship.

Aunt Shen and Wang Dali looked at each other for a long while, and they didn't have the nerve to get in Wang Ren and Shen Lin's car, and took Cheng Yu's car.

Cheng Yu is Wang Ren's cousin, and he has been in sales for a while now, and the people who have trained him are quite tactful. Although he knows that the two of them are disgusted by his cousin, he doesn't show it on his face, and entertains him cheerfully.It's just that among the snacks for each person, there are only worthless melon seeds, and there is no piece of peanut and fructose.Aunt Shen's mother and son looked at the ones in other people's hands, and they didn't know what to think when they looked at the ones in their own hands. Anyway, no one said anything.

Wang Gui arrived early with his three sons, and congratulated Shen Lin in multiple voices.After Wang Gui apologized to Shen Mo last time, Shen Mo's heart softened and he didn't go into details, and the business between the two companies is still going on.However, in order to avoid the Zhou family's reaction, Aunt Wang was ordered not to follow, and she was also warned that she must never provoke anyone in the Zhou family, otherwise she would be driven to reflect on her natal family. Aunt Wang originally wanted to cry and make trouble. Seeing that her son and daughter-in-law didn't have any support for her, she gave up.

What surprised Wang Ren and Shen Lin the most was that Wang Fulu, Hao Yulan and his two sons, daughter-in-law and grandchildren all came.

The second floor was used as a bedroom, and a door was designed, which was locked immediately, and no one could get in.There are only tables on the first floor.

It's not that I look down on the villagers, but I'm really afraid of their novelty. Children and old women are all crowded on a hanging chair. If the hanging chair can't bear the weight and falls, it will be a bad day on this happy day.Therefore, only three tables were set up on the first floor to entertain the policemen in the yamen. Their status and status could not be eaten outside in the open air.

Fifteen tables were set up outside, with 13 people per table. Not only were the seats full, some even had to add stools. The entire long street occupied the doorways of several houses. Zhou Jing greeted them in advance and gave them gifts.

People from the village arrived first, the seats were full, there was no banquet, and they were waiting for the arresters to take a lunch break in the yamen.

At first, the villagers didn't know who they were waiting for, and thought Zhou Jing was bluffing.

Wang Fen was sitting at the table farthest from the store, and her daughter Zhang Ju was sitting beside her. Zhang Ju didn't shout at the moment that she didn't know Zhou Jing to avoid suspicion.Sitting next to her were Aunt Shen and Wang Dali, and next to her were Wang Baichuan and his grandma Shen Wen.This table is full of uninvited guests.

There are two fruit plates on each table, one with melon seeds and peanuts and the other with candy and pastries.Candies are the most expensive. Wang Fen went up and grabbed a lot of candies, and the fruit plate immediately bottomed out.

Cock bang bang bang bang one bite, finished eating, bang bang bang, want to go get it again, seeing that the candy box is really empty, curling his lips.

"It's really picky. It's still developed. Who can eat such a few yuan?" Wang Fen has a lot of them. People in the village have to be rich to buy them during the New Year. My family is reluctant to eat them. Keep it for entertaining guests. "The banquet is still open, what are you pretending to do, it seems like you can wait for a big shot, who doesn't know who, they all come from the same village."

As soon as Wang Fen finished speaking, he saw a mighty group of government servants in official uniforms rushing towards here on the street.

Everyone in the village is afraid of the people in the yamen, even the one who works in the yamen thinks they are capable. At this moment, like a mouse seeing a cat, they all lower their eyebrows and don't dare to move.

"You guys are here, come in quickly, I'll wait for your dinner."

Yang Butou didn't come empty-handed, he carried two chickens in his hand, it wasn't a big gift, what was important was his attitude.

"Cousin, all the brothers are here, and there are quite a few of them."

"Okay, okay, thank you brothers for your support, come in quickly, let's start the banquet now."

Zhou Jing led a few people to sit in the room, and the kitchen began to serve food one after another. The drinks at this table were different from other tables, they were all expensive. First, a bowl was poured for one person, and Zhou Jing accompanied him to toast. a cup.

"Brothers, I will do business in the town in the future, please take care of me." Zhou Jing said, feeling bored.

"Okay, have a good time!" Yang Butou smiled and said, "My brother is so happy, you can't be stingy, give me a big gulp to drink now, if you don't get drunk, you won't go home."

"That's enough, I'm late?" Zhou Jing looked back and saw that it was Butcher Wu, who brought a whole pig, followed by two long-term business partners of Zhou Jing. Empty, with everything in hand.

Zhou Jing stood up and said with a smile, "It's not too late, it's not too late, just in time, please come in."

Yang Butou also stood up, and said familiarly: "Who I thought it was, it turned out to be Brother Wu, why, Brother Wu and my cousin also know each other."

Seeing that the three of them knew each other, Zhou Jing arranged them at Yang Butou's table and added a few stools.

Butcher Wu said: "Not only do we know each other, we are also business partners. However, I just found out that Brother Zhou is actually your cousin. You are good, and there is such a capable cousin as Brother Zhou."

Butcher Wu was able to expand his business to such a large extent that he almost occupied the entire town. No one dared to underestimate his connections.If small merchants have to act according to the faces of their yamen servants, or if big households like Wu Butcher want them to walk around, they will never dare to go up and ask for trouble.

Now that Butcher Wu has such a high opinion of Zhou Jing, a shop actually invited him to open and even brought him a gift. Butcher Yang dared not underestimate Zhou Jing at all.

At first, there were doubts about Zhou Jing's identity, and the servants who guessed whether he was Catcher Yang's cousin, now they all believed it completely.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the whole shop was pushed to a climax, those who knew each other or not, those who had met before, were all called Cousin Zhou Jing, and they seemed to be really related to Zhou Jing with their affectionate appearance.

Outside the house, everyone in the village was dumbfounded.

Wang Fen said in a daze, "Zhou Jing is a little bastard, how did he know these big men?"

No one could answer them, but let them see more bluntly the distance between Zhou Jing and them. The impoverished Zhou family in the past was no longer there.

At the intersection, a gorgeously decorated carriage was put down, and the servant who drove the carriage asked: "Sir, they are clearly robbing our family's business again. Since there are Zhouji sausages in the market, how many fewer customers have we had? Then It was fine when his family had a stall, but now that they have bought a shop, isn't it clear that they want to compete with our family for business?"

An old male voice came from the car, "So what, you didn't see Catcher Yang personally bring the entire yamen to help him out, this is a very clear way to tell people in this town not to bully Zhou Jing I heard that the reason why Catcher Yang is willing to do so is because he has cousins ​​with Zhou Jing, and with such cousins ​​around, no one dares to do anything to Zhou Jing, even the magistrate must give some face."

"Can……"

"It's nothing to worry about. You think that Zhou Ji is jealous, but you are afraid that Catcher Yang can't do anything. No matter what, it's better to be an official than to be in charge. It's enough to be targeted by their yamen servants. Let's wait and see. Zhou This shop is not a good shop, it used to be a ghost shop, no one can say whether it will be haunted in the future."

Hao Yulan and Zhou Jing's mother, Mrs. Wang, have close relatives. Although they are far away, they are close relatives.

Sighing, Hao Yulan said, "I don't know if Cousin Wang would regret seeing Zhou Jing like this?"

No one knows whether Mrs. Wang will regret it, but the sister-in-law of the Wang family has stopped, and she dare not think about anything else in her heart.

The Zhou family served a total of [-] dishes, including six meat dishes, four vegetarian dishes and two cold dishes.

The meat dishes are: Roasted Chicken, Grilled Knuckle, Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetables, Spicy Shredded Pork, Sliced ​​Pork Section, Rib Stewed Potatoes.

The vegetarian dishes are: stir-fried lotus root slices, mapo tofu, fried lettuce lettuce, fried shiitake mushrooms, and fried three silks.

The two cold dishes are: home-cooked cold dishes and a combination of fried peanuts and sausage slices.The sausage is from his own family, and Zhou Jing also wanted to recommend his own sausage.

There is really nothing to say about this dish, it is a hard dish, and many people will tsk their mouths when they see it.

"Oh, I've eaten it, broom star, I didn't know to wait for you, old lady! You wolf-hearted wolf cub..." A sharp female voice came, and everyone turned their heads to see Mrs. Wang approaching from a distance.She didn't come alone, but with her family. The whole family, old and young, came.No matter how old or young they were, even those in their arms carried a small basket.

In the end, a few members of the Shen family followed. They didn't take the basket, but judging by the expressions on their faces, they regretted it.

No one would think that there would be something in that basket, and Mrs. Wang could still bring presents.Don't talk about Mrs. Wang, it's just people from the village who come to eat, except for a few who are shameless.

It's not that the family of Nagrag doesn't know that with the current financial resources of the Zhou family, there is absolutely no need for his family's mended and washed rags that turn white.But if you don't take it, you are afraid of being laughed at by others, and if you take other things, you really don't want to come here.

For the sake of her relatives, Hao Yulan tried to persuade Mrs. Wang, but Wang Fulu pressed her down as soon as she moved.

Wang Fulu glanced into the room, and whispered: "Don't go, there are so many officials sitting inside, they can't make any waves, and whoever gets caught will be unlucky."

Sure enough, Yang Butou's face changed, he sank instantly, and asked: "Who is that woman outside, your parents?"

Zhou Jing shook his head indifferently and said, "No. Catcher Yang should know that my surname is Zhou, and the surname outside is Wang and Shen. What does it have to do with me!"

With Zhou Jing's words, there is no need for Yang Butou to order, but his subordinates said: "Boss, you eat, there are many such troublesome people, and the small ones can be solved."

The little policeman stepped out with his head held high and his chest held high, and he said contemptuously, "Where is the daring thug who dares to play wild with our first cousins? Want to taste what it's like to be in prison, don't you?"

When she suddenly looked up and saw an official scolding her, Mrs. Wang was startled and couldn't help shrinking back.

"This... isn't this Zhou Jing's shop." Mrs. Wang whispered, even those with poor hearing could not hear.

The little catcher snorted coldly: "So what? What does it have to do with you?"

Mrs. Wang said: "I am his mother..."

The little policeman reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense, brother Zhou's surname is Zhou, your family name is Wang, I am a three-year-old child and I know you are not her mother. Diao Fu, I think you want to be boarded, how dare you deceive me! "

Mrs. Wang was so frightened that she didn't dare to say anything, and she didn't dare to insist that Zhou Jing crawled out of her stomach, so she had to honor her words no matter what.And Wang Cheng and his sons dared not speak up.

Wang Ren saw that the heat was almost ready, so he came out to smooth things over and said, "My lord, it's all a misunderstanding. This is an aunt from our village with a loud voice, and she's not here to ask for trouble."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, I'm not a troublemaker. I'm He Sao... from the same village as Zhou Jing, and I'm here to have a wedding wine."

The little catcher hummed heavily, glared at her, turned around and entered the room.

Wang Ren led Mrs. Wang and the others to crowd on Wang Fen's table. A dozen or so people sat together, and they couldn't sit down at all. Two people even had to squeeze a stool.

Wang Fen said dissatisfied: "Our table is full, so you can't arrange people on other tables, just order like this, how can there be enough food for so many people."

Wang Ren laughed and said: "I don't care if there is enough to eat or not. I only know that the people sitting at this table are people that the boss didn't invite at all. I didn't take you with me at first, but it's just to see if people come. It’s just a shame to push them back. Besides, other people came to the banquet, but they all took things, even an egg and a handful of vegetables. That’s the meaning. But what about you? There’s not a single rag boss.”

The thin-skinned young daughter-in-law lowered her head in embarrassment, while the old shameless women rolled their eyes instead of feeling ashamed.

When Mrs. Wang and the others came, the banquet had already opened, and most of the food on the table had been gobbled up.There was still half a roast chicken left, and Wang Fen stretched out his hand to tear it up, but Mrs. Wang snatched it away.

"What are you doing? It's not your house, why don't you let them eat?"

Mrs. Wang stared, "Zhou Jing is my son, and what belongs to him belongs to my family."

Wang Fen clicked his tongue and said: "It's really shameless. I didn't hear that Zhou Jing told the official himself that his surname is Zhou and your surname is Wang. It has nothing to do with it."

"Ha, the left and right crawled out of my stomach, I really thought it could be broken just by talking about it."

"Don't tell me this, go talk to Zhou Jing and see if he listens to you."

There are so many officials here, and now that they know that the officials and Zhou Jing are brothers, and they have to bring something for a banquet, Mrs. Wang dare not quarrel with Zhou Jing.But he was not a vegetarian either, so he picked up the plate and stuffed the remaining half chicken into the small bamboo basket he brought.The other people on the table were taken aback by his actions, and didn't react for a while. When they did, several dishes on the table had already been stuffed into small bamboo baskets.

"Hey, what are you doing, no one has eaten yet."

"I don't care if you eat it or not. I still want to take it home to eat. I'll tell you to eat it all in a while. What else should I bring home!"

Such thick-skinnedness really made people speechless, and the noise between the two became louder and louder, attracting Wang Ren who was just outside to entertain the villagers.

Wang Ren glanced at the half-empty table and said, "Where's the plate? Did you eat the plate? Let me tell you that this meal was cooked by a chef my brother-in-law hired back from the restaurant. The plate was also borrowed from the restaurant. The deposit of two taels of silver, if you lose one of them, you will have to report to the officials, and it happens that the officials and gentlemen are eating with us today, so it is convenient to take them away."

Mrs. Wang took out the plate silently, and poured the vegetables directly into the small bamboo basket. The roast chicken was alright, but the rest, including oil and soup, leaked out of the bamboo basket and dripped everywhere.

After the banquet, the well-fed coachman sent people back to the village.Mrs. Wang and the whole family of the Shen family came later, and dozens of people didn't have a car, so they asked Wang Ren to arrange a car for him.

Wang Ren said directly: "There is definitely no car. If you can walk here by yourself, please walk back by yourself."

They didn't dare to quarrel with Zhou Jing directly now. They were afraid that Zhou Jing would say hello to the policemen and stuff them in for a few days of prison food.

There were too many people at their table, and they all ate sweet mouths and tongues. They were more hungry than before they came, and they walked back and forth again. They were half dead tired, so it's better not to go.
