farm house son-in-law

Chapter 68 68. The New Store Opens

"Why did I fall asleep?" When Lu Chen opened his eyes, he found that it was already dawn outside.

When he got up to go out, he found that the donkey cart outside was not there, so he called Yuanfeng to ask, it turned out that He Tongxin got up early to deliver the ingredients for making croquettes to He Roumei.

Lu Chen washed his face, and when he entered the room, he found Yuan Feng was cooking while standing up.

"Is it done well?" Lu Chen went in and pointed a few times, Yuan Feng's hands were steady and his mind was clear, and soon he looked decent.

"Are you at home by yourself or come with me to look at the house?" Lu Chen tidied up and asked.

Yuanfeng wanted to be at home, so Lu Chen told him to sweep the yard, and walked to He's house by himself.

The house has already been built to the roof, although Lu Chen doesn't need to do it, he still has to watch carefully.

As for He Tongxin, he went straight to the fields after coming out of He Roumei's house.This year their family was unlucky, the corn fell down.Fortunately, I have money in my hand, so I can hire someone to do it, but I can't just watch it.

After the corn was transported home, it could only be piled up for the time being, and He Tongxin would clean it up when he came back. He was so busy that it was almost dark.

When it gets dark, I have to go to He Roumei's house to see how the fried meatballs are doing.

Sure enough, as Lu Chen expected, Xu Zhengrong was born as a young master, and when he cooks, he only thinks about how to make meatballs delicious.After all, He Roumei was a little bit reluctant to do it, and the taste of her hands was always worse at the beginning.

Lu Chen was not in a hurry, but He Tongxin was in a hurry. After talking about it twice, He Roumei was willing to give up the materials.

"Is it cloudy again?" Lu Chen gave He Tongxin an injection in the room, and watched the sky outside become cloudy.

"Oh no, the corn at home!" He Tongxin slapped his leg, and hurriedly asked Lu Chen to pull out the needle, and drove the donkey cart to pick up the corn.

Naturally, Lu Chen would not let him go alone, and jumped into the car.

When I got home, I saw that Father He and He Rouxiang were already cleaning up.

The wind blew slowly, and the movements of the hands quickened.

Recently, because of the autumn harvest, the work of building houses has almost stopped.

After working with He Tongxin for a long time, Lu Chen couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to take a breath. Sitting there, he watched He Tongxin work tirelessly, and his hands and feet were particularly agile.

"Can you do it?" Father He poured tea for Lu Chen, and said with a little pride.

Lu Chen looked at He Tongxin and smiled.

"It's starting to fall." When he was almost busy, He Tongxin sat on the ground tiredly, looked up at the rain falling from the sky, with a tired and comfortable expression on his face.

Lu Chen walked over and pushed He Tongxin.Two men were sitting huddled under the eaves, with neat yards of corn behind them, and three tall and deep new houses that had basically been built in front of them.

Lu Chen stretched out his hand to touch the cocoon in He Tongxin's palm, and He Tongxin rubbed his hands in embarrassment.

Lu Chen tilted his head and kissed He Tongxin's cheek.

He Tongxin covered his face and smiled.

"Go back to the room, it's going to be a big game." He Laopa who was in the room shouted.

When Lu Chen and He Tongxin stood up and were about to enter the room, they heard someone calling at the door,

"Second brother-in-law, why are you here?" He Tongxin opened the door and was startled when he saw the person coming.

"Hey, your second sister said that she made a pot of frying and it tastes good. Let me serve it for you to taste while it's hot." Wang Tao said and handed over the large bowl wrapped in several layers in his arms.

"What are you in such a hurry for?" Lu Chen walked over, stood at the gate of the courtyard, took one and tasted it.

"Delicious!" He Tongxin had worked for a long time, and he was hungry at the same time, and the food was delicious.

"How is it? Your second sister is crying behind my back because she couldn't make it happen." Wang Tao looked at Lu Chen nervously and asked.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "With this kind of craftsmanship, it is guaranteed to be successful. Let the second sister not worry, she is the chef."

As soon as Lu Chen said this, Wang Tao opened his mouth wide in shock, and let out a sigh of relief following his weak legs.

Among other things, he has eaten this meatball a lot at home, and he really thinks it is delicious.If He Roumei really did it in Lu Chen's shop, it would be a great thing for his family.

"Who's here?" Father He from the room shouted to the outside.

"Second brother-in-law is here, said a few words and left." He Tongxin didn't want to tell Father He about the meatball shop too early, so he replied vaguely.

When the rain stopped, Lu Chen and He Tongxin went back.

"Second Sister's skill is really good." Lu Chen's expression also relaxed a lot.

"Then are we going to open the store as soon as we are ready?" He Tongxin was not looking forward to the opening of the store.

"Well, let Xu Zhengrong choose a good day." Lu Chen nodded in agreement.

After waiting for a day, Xu Zhengrong got the news and said it was a good day, and it turned out to be three days later.

"So urgent? Can it be arranged?" He Tongxin said worriedly.

"No way, Xu Zhengrong is even busier. I heard that he has collected most of his family property and is going to the capital." Lu Chen can understand this.

But the good thing is that everything in their store is ready. Everyone sat in the store the day before, moved all the ingredients in, and even fried it first.

"How is it?" He Roumei was so nervous in the back kitchen that she dared not come out.

"Delicious, delicious!" Several people sat down and ate, but it was Compal who came from Xu Zhengrong's side.

Renbao ate a lot in a row, and packed some to take home.

Just as they packed up and were about to go back, a few people stood outside looking in, and when they saw someone came out, they asked curiously, "May I ask, what do you sell in this store? It smells so good."

Several people froze for a moment, before Lu Chen said with a smile, "The croquettes are served with fruit juice and side dishes. Come and see them tomorrow, and you can eat them for free."

When Lu Chen said this, those people laughed, and they just said, anyway, they don't need money.

"You really don't want money?" He Tongxin became nervous first.

"Limited, let each of them taste a few." Lu Chen smiled, and the people behind looked at Lu Chen's confident look, and somehow gained confidence in their hearts.

"What? Your store is going to open tomorrow?!" Father He was packing corn at home, and he was shocked when he heard this.

"That's right, dad! My second sister and I have been busy in the store for a long time!" He Rouxiang went to the store, and she spoke with a smile all over her face.

"Is it going to happen?" Although Father He was worried, he couldn't stop the smile on his face.

"Look at what you said, I'm still counting on you to open the door tomorrow." Lu Chen said with a smile.

"Oh, then you guys have to give me a red envelope." Father He said, and everyone laughed together.

Lu Chen and He Tongxin stood in the yard for a while and then left. After all, there were still many things to be busy.

When they got home and entered the house, they saw Yuan Feng frowning and putting Ming'er's new robe on himself.

"Looks good!" He Tongxin looked at Yuan Feng's red robe and black boots, which complemented his cool and handsome face.

"Why do you want me to wear this!" Yuan Feng said with some displeasure.

"Don't you want to earn money? This is the job. Tomorrow, you can just stand at the door and be a living sign." Lu Chen smiled, and stuffed the finished promotional board into Yuan Feng's hands. On the board, besides writing "Meatball Shop" In addition to the new opening, there is also a portrait of a child eating meatballs.

"Hmph!" Yuan Feng felt angry when he thought about it, but he didn't stop.

"What about me? What am I going to do tomorrow?" He Tongxin anxiously asked Lu Chen to assign him some work.

"In the beginning, you went out with me to distribute orders on the street, and when you came back, you served people meatballs and cleaned up the dishes." Lu Chen smiled and rubbed He Tongxin's head.

"Okay! I will work hard!" He Tongxin looked at Lu Chen with bright eyes and said.

"Small sample, aren't you afraid that there won't be many people coming when it opens tomorrow?" Lu Chen teased He Tongxin.

"Hey, no, at least there will be fewer people when you don't eat money." Unexpectedly, He Tongxin also teased Lu Chen.

"Okay you!" Lu Chen yelled to beat He Tongxin.

He Tongxin dodged for a few times, and just as Lu Chen caught him, He Tongxin pushed Lu Chen against the wall with all his strength, and their noses almost touched.

"Cough." Lu Chen coughed first, and He Tongxin turned away with a hot face, and went outside.

Lu Chen smiled and stepped forward to chase after him.

"Don't come, don't you still have to write a list?" He Tongxin said out of fear that he would mess around.

"Let that boy Yuanfeng write, and he has to send some to Xu Zhengrong. If he can't, let him be lazy and not work for nothing." Lu Chen pushed He Tongxin to the corner.

He Tongxin blinked at Lu Chen, looked at the sky unbearably and said, "It won't rain tomorrow."

"Don't be crowed." Lu Chen squeezed He Tongxin.

He Tongxin smiled and looked at Lu Chen and said, "We will definitely be able to open up tomorrow!"

"Kiss Cai Ling." Lu Chen leaned over as he spoke.

"Cluck, cluck, cluck!" Just as it happened, suddenly the chicken next to him slowly walked over, leaving an egg in the grass nest beside it, which made He Tongxin and Lu Chen feel embarrassed for a while.

"I'm a little too excited." Lu Chen glanced at He Tongxin, and wiped his face with his hand.

He Tongxin also sighed lightly and said, "Well, thinking about tomorrow, I feel like I won't be able to sleep."

He Tongxin said that he couldn't sleep, but he was the only one who slept soundly.

"Get up, Boss He!" Lu Chen called He Tongxin when it was still dark.

"Ah? Why are you here?" When He Tongxin sat up, he found that many people were already standing in their room.

"Your mother is not feeling well, she is resting at home, and asked me to bring a congratulatory gift." Father He smiled and took out the red envelope.

This time, Lu Chen accepted it with a smile, and He Roumei and He Rouxiang who were beside him also came in new clothes, with nervous joy on their faces.

"Let's go." Lu Chen waited for He Tongxin to pack up, then drove the donkey cart and ox cart to the town with his things.

When they arrived, they saw someone standing in front of the store.

"Brother Xu!" Seeing that Xu Zhengrong was there with Renbao, Lu Chen shouted with a smile.

"Oh, Yuanfeng, you are so beautifully dressed!" No one else dared to say it, only Renbao yelled when he saw Yuanfeng get off the car.

Yuan Feng glanced at him, gave him a list expressionlessly, and stood behind Lu Chen.

"You asked me to write it, and I wrote it too." Xu Zhengrong reluctantly handed the list he had written for half a night to Lu Chen.

"Thank you, Boss Xu." Lu Chen yelled with a smile, and Xu Zhengrong also laughed.

The He family had only heard about Xu Zhengrong but had never seen him before. Now that they saw Xu Zhengrong dressed with such a demeanor, they secretly sighed inwardly that the Ji family almost made a big mistake and wanted to intervene in the marriage of such a person.

"Go in." Lu Chen beckoned people to go in, and Xu Zhengrong entered the shop, looking at the clean and friendly shop, only the couplets he wrote were hung on the two pillars.

"Okay, it's really good." Xu Zhengrong touched the table, turned his head to see He Rouxiang standing at the counter, and shook the abacus in his hand handsomely.

In the kitchen over there, the sound of He Roumei tidying up and scrubbing the kitchen utensils was also heard.

"Brush!" Lu Chen found three red cloth aprons from a box on one side, with the words "delicious meatballs" written wildly on them.

"What are you doing?" Xu Zhengrong walked over curiously.

"Put on the order and go, what are you going to do here? Let Renbao come?" Lu Chen said with a glance and saw Renbao stuffing something into Yuanfeng's hand.

Xu Zhengrong thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll do it!"

He Tongxin was stunned for a moment, Xu Zhengrong looked at him and said, "Anyway, I am also one of the owners of this store, and I still need to make some effort when it opens."

The smile in He Tongxin's eyes spread, and he stretched out his hand to pat Xu Zhengrong.

Xu Zhengrong glanced at him, and he also knew that with the change of status, He Tongxin was hiding from him, but today he clearly felt that he and He Tongxin had returned to the feeling of being friends again.

"Let's go!" Lu Chen went out with a large roll of firecrackers, and stuck them on both sides of the door.

"Tongxin, come and shout!" Lu Chen raised his chin and said to He Tongxin.

He Tongxin was startled, he didn't expect to have this job, but his mood had already reached here, he actually opened his mouth and shouted, "Yummy meatball shop is open!"

The rising sun had just risen to cover the street, and He Tongxin's voice was so clear and loud that the listeners were shocked.

"Light!" Lu Chen shouted, and he and Xu Zhengrong held incense and lit the firecrackers.

Amidst the sound of crackling firecrackers, Yuanfeng pushed Renbao away and officially started to work.

Because they didn't say hello in advance, people on both sides ran out to watch in surprise.

"Hey, isn't this Lu Chen! Why did you suddenly open a shop here?" A passer-by shouted in surprise.

"Uncle Li, business is booming. Come to my shop and treat you to croquettes~" Lu Chen smiled and handed the order to Uncle Li who sells cakes.

Uncle Li glanced at the list, and said with a smile, "You still have a lot of ideas! But you have a big shot? You don't need money to eat."

Lu Chen responded with a grin, and when he saw someone, he went over to issue the order.

"My dear young master, you are killing me, what kind of work is this! Why are you doing it yourself!" Ren Bao turned his head and saw his young master Xu Zhengrong wearing an apron on the street Sending out the bill, it hastily passed by.

Xu Zhengrong had never done this job before, although his face turned hot, but he felt novel and exciting in his heart, and it was really his own shop that was so happy when he saw someone accept the order.

"Go to the store and help greet the customers!" Xu Zhengrong drove Renbao to greet people in the store.

"Boom, boom, boom!" After Lu Chen sent out a lot of orders, he saw two teams of lion dancers coming from both ends of the street.

"This is..." He Tongxin looked at Lu Chen suspiciously when he saw that he was approaching the door of their store.

"It's not me, it must be Xu Zhengrong." When Lu Chen was speaking, he saw someone running to Xu Zhengrong's side, bowing and talking.

Xu Zhengrong now has the air of a young master, and he speaks with majesty. After saying a few words, he untied his apron and walked towards Lu Chen.

"What's the matter?" Lu Chen raised his eyebrows and asked.

"My distant cousin is looking for me, and I don't want her to come over." Xu Zhengrong sneered a little mockingly.

Lu Chen was puzzled for a moment, and then knew that the daughter of some county lord was looking for Xu Zhengrong.

"Then you go." Naturally, Lu Chen would not refuse to let him go.

"Cousin!" Unfortunately, just as Xu Zhengrong was about to leave, a carriage came over there, and a girl's voice shouted in the carriage.

It doesn't matter if she yells like this, what matters is that Lu Chen saw Zhang Chunming riding a horse beside the carriage.

Zhang Chunming saw a surprised sneer on Lu Chen's face.

Xu Zhengrong talked to the county lord's daughter, then turned around and called Renbao, got into the carriage and left.

Xu Zhengrong left, and the carriage of the county princess's daughter also left.

But Zhang Chunming didn't leave. He got off the horse, handed the horse to the boy, and walked towards the shop.

"What are you doing?" Lu Chen stretched out his hand to stop it.

"What? You don't open the door for business? I'm a customer." Zhang Chunming looked at Lu Chen with contempt, and he reached out to touch a small silver ingot of ten taels and said, "Isn't it just silver?"

"Sorry, there are rules in this store that dogs and Zhang Chunming are not allowed to enter!" Lu Chen crossed his arms and sneered.

"You!" Zhang Chunming's complexion suddenly became ruthless.

"What? You want to fight?" He Tongxin came out of the shop angrily.

"Okay, didn't you just open a small broken shop?" Zhang Chunming took two steps back and glanced at the sign, and said, "You really have the ability, and I even tricked Master Xu into writing an inscription for you."

"You are following the way of flattering the dog, and everyone thinks that is the case?" Lu Chen looked at Zhang Chunming with a sneer and said, "What are you? It's just a dog that someone is about to throw away. I thought I would get a little reward." Can you show off your power here?"

Lu Chen spoke harshly and brightly, and the people next to him looked at Zhang Chunming strangely.

"Shut your mouth! How dare you humiliate Master Juren! Do you want to be thrown into prison?" Zhang Chunming didn't expect him to reach such a position, and Lu Chen was still so unafraid of him.

"Okay, you, we don't want to see blood when we open our store today, so get out!" Lu Chen really didn't want to be in a bad mood because of Zhang Chunming.

Zhang Chunming took a step forward angrily and wanted to say something, but He Tongxin's hand flashed a cold light, and he shouted with a fierce look in his eyes, "If you don't want to die, get out! I will settle accounts with you in the future, you bitch!"

Zhang Chunming turned around to call out, but the boy over there was pulling the reins of the horse, looking like he was watching a show.

Who doesn't know, now that the daughter of the county lord has fallen in love with the young master of the Xu family again, if Zhang Chunming hadn't been able to say nice words to coax people, he would have been kicked away long ago.

"Okay, you guys wait, when I'm in high school is the time of your death!" Zhang Chunming said harsh words and got on his horse;

He sat on the horse and looked down at the two of Lu and Chen, feeling a little comfortable in his heart, and said with a smug smile, "I tell you, I have already found a famous teacher in Beijing, and I will go to Beijing in the next few days. Goodbye, I'm afraid you will have to kowtow to me and call you master."

"Ride the horse carefully, don't be surprised and fall to your death. At that time, there will be no matter whether you are in high school or not." Lu Chen said lightly, and He Tongxin's finger turned into a smooth stone, and it came out with a snap. It flew past Zhang Chunming's ear, and Zhang Chunming ran away in fright.

"You... you... troublemakers!" Zhang Chunming said and rode away quickly.

"You two! You are still gossiping there, come and help!" Old Man He in the Zhuantou shop shouted angrily.

"I'll go!" Lu Chen turned his head and found that the door of the store was already crowded into a ball!
