"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Ling'er sighed, "Brother Baili, your fifth uncle is not easy to get along with."
"Huh? Yeah." Baili wiped the sweat from his forehead, convinced.
"But it doesn't really matter. I'm afraid it will be bad if your father-in-law is not easy to get along with in the future." It turned out that Ling'er came here to take pleasure in his misfortune.
"Ling'er, what did you talk about after we left the night before yesterday?" Baili was actually quite curious, because he felt that the fifth uncle seemed to be a different person after he came back.
He didn't say anything to Li Tanhua, and he didn't say anything to Ouyang Cui. Master Li Xuanming didn't dare to ask, so he could only ask Ling'er.
It's really strange why Ling'er can stay?
"Why are you interrogating me? Do you want me to kneel down in your lobby and tell you?" Ling'er said with a smile.
"If you don't want to say anything, forget it. Why don't you try to squeeze me out?" Baili said angrily.
"It's not that I don't want to say it, it's that I can't say it, but this matter has nothing to do with you and Sister Jianjia, so you can rest assured." Ling'er said.
"What am I worried about..." Baili was relieved now, "It's time for you to go back, right? It will snow in two days and the road will be difficult to walk on."
"Then you don't want to have a drink anymore?" Ling'er asked.
"What kind of wine are you doing?" Baili was stunned.
"Wedding wine, if you get married to Sister Jianjia in the next two days, then I will drink your wedding wine before leaving." Ling'er said.
"You are talking nonsense, what's the matter?" Baili blushed.
"But having said that, Brother Baili, I made a bet with Kunlun. The stakes are so big, one hundred taels of gold! I placed the bet on you. If you cause me to lose, you have to pay for the gold! "Ling'er said.
"What bet?" Baili was surprised. What does your bet with Tie Kunlun have to do with me?
"I bet you and Sister Jianjia will get married first, or my god-sister and Li Tanhua will get married first!" Ling'er said with a smile.
"You!" Baili was speechless.
Ling'er couldn't wait to attend Baili's wedding, but she attended the opening ceremony of Su Jianjia Wonton Shop.
It was said to be an opening ceremony. In fact, Qiu Changqing and Su Jianjia's father and daughter treated everyone to a meal of fish-filled wontons. The big carp in Xuanming Lake was fat and delicious, and its taste was not inferior to the sea fish in Shunfeng City, and it had a unique flavor.
"I, Li Hanwen, have never eaten wontons stuffed with fish meat in my life. I have always been worried about the thorns. It's not bad after eating it for a long time. Is this really made of fish meat?" Li Hanwen ate it sweetly and sighed in admiration.
"Master Li, you don't know. This stuffing is made from the belly part of the big carp, which doesn't have any thorns." Su Jianjia explained, "It's easier to use sea fish, but it doesn't taste the same." The fish in the lake are so delicious.”
"What about the remaining fish and meat? Shouldn't we throw away all the fish?" Sister-in-law Chen felt that it was too extravagant.
"How is that possible? The fish head is used to make soup, and the other parts are chopped into small pieces to make smoked fish, marinated fish, or directly wrapped in some flour and fried to eat. I don't have time to do it today. I will do it tomorrow. I'll give it to my sister-in-law to try. If it's good, we'll also sell these in our shop from now on," Su Jianjia said.
"Then the relationship is good." Sister-in-law Chen said, "Sister, your shop will definitely become popular in the future. I think you and your daughter will be too busy. Why don't you help me too? Although I am rough and rough, I can't light the fire and wash the dishes. I can still do it, just give me a few cents a month and it will be fine."
"How can this be done?" Su Jianjia said with a smile, "Sister-in-law Chen, you are a serious inspection lady, how can you do this job?"
"What a bastard, madam!" Sister-in-law Chen said, "I am your brother Chen's servant! I am worse than a servant. Being a servant gives me some reward during the holidays. I have nothing this year, so I can't complain at all. Who asked other men to make money to support the family? I can't fart loudly. Now that I am making money, the voices at home are louder."
"Hahaha, boss, Sister-in-law Chen is telling you this. Sister-in-law Chen not only takes care of Mr. Chen Ping, but also takes care of our meals. There are people in the yamen who welcome and deliver people. Sister-in-law Chen helps in the kitchen, but she has never paid her a penny in salary over the years!" Wu Haishan said with a smile.
"Ah ha! After all, you are the one who makes the abacus, Haishan, you know what I mean!" Sister-in-law Chen was happy, "I have told him so many times, but he just didn't dare to tell us, if it was the case before , we don’t compete with this, but don’t we have money now? You Wu Haishan collects money every day... Oh, why are you kicking me? "
"Kick you? I'm still waiting to beat you!" Chen Ping said angrily, "Even eating wontons can't stop your stupid mouth!"
"Sister-in-law Chen is right. This is not your responsibility. All these years of hard work cannot be in vain. Haishan, you can also give some money to Mrs. Chen as a supplement. From now on, you will also pay your salary every month. I'll deduct it from my salary," Baili said.
"How can this happen!" Chen Ping's face turned red.
"My brothers are settling the accounts, so why can't I do it? Can I, the county magistrate, continue to have free rice? Besides, I can't cook, and eating out is expensive, so I can't hire someone from outside, right? So if it's fine, If we want to settle the accounts, it would be more cost-effective to trouble Mrs. Chen." Baili said with a smile.
"How is it enough to hire one person? Just to serve tea and pour water, wash and tidy up the house, there are not three or two people? Do shopping, light the fire and boil water, wash basins and dishes, wash vegetables and rice, these are not enough Do you need one or two people? Now I take care of everything, but I only charge you a share of the money, boss. Isn’t this a good deal?"
Sister-in-law Chen readily agreed and made sense.
"Hahaha, why do you have to tell Mrs. Chen about this little scheme of mine?" Baili laughed.
"I have such a temper. I say whatever I think in my mind. Boss, you think the same thing is true, right? This is a good thing, but Chen Ping is also stubborn and can't figure it out. ! I have to use my own tricks and insinuations." Mrs. Chen was extremely proud.
"Sister-in-law Chen is really clever." Ling'er praised.
"I don't dare to take it for granted that it's a miraculous calculation. But sometimes I guess things, so I'm pretty good at it." Sister-in-law Chen said.
Everyone laughed together, and even Qiu Changqing, who was worried, couldn't help but smile.
After eating and drinking, everyone dispersed. Qiu Changqing left Ling'er and Baili to drink tea. The tea was green brick tea, bitter and astringent, but it quenched greasiness and thirst.
"Fifth uncle, aren't you and Jian Jia leaving now?" Baili felt uneasy when he saw Qiu Changqing's dark face.
"Are you trying to drive us away?" Qiu Changqing frowned.
"That's good, that's good." Baili breathed a sigh of relief.
"Take this." Qiu Changqing took out the Xuanming Sword Book from his arms and handed it to Baili.
"What is this?" Baili was stunned.
"Kneel down and accept." Qiu Changqing said calmly.
"Yes!" Baili was startled and hurriedly knelt down and took the sword manual with both hands. He thought to himself, "What are you going to do? Fifth uncle?"
Why does it feel like some kind of solemn ceremony...
