They come in big boxes and small boxes, and they are all gifts on the outside. They are not very valuable, but the few brocade horses on display are quite eye-catching, and the others are just some snacks.
Song Yi knew that Xie Xiuwen was a scholar. If it weren't for the fact that he was short of money, he would definitely not be able to come up with the idea of selling his son, so he prepared two hundred taels of silver notes and presented it to him.
Song Yi is so skilled!
Even though Xie Xiuwen repeatedly stated that he was selling money to a friend, how could he not see it?
At this moment, the two hundred taels of silver notes were really delivered to Xie Xiuwen's heart.
Scholars, how can anyone complain about having too much money?
The two exchanged some polite words, and Xie Xiuwen simply talked about the Liu family's opening of a restaurant in the county. In this way, it could be considered as an extra layer of protection for the Liu family.
"Brother Xie, don't worry. My dear, call me uncle, and I will definitely protect her and the Liu family restaurant."
In this way, Xie Xiuwen can finally feel relieved.
When Song Yi left, he hugged Xie Rongzhao specially and even kissed her on the little cheek.
"My dear, if you have a chance to play with me at home in the future, your aunt likes you very much. Otherwise, you might as well become our goddaughter."
Xie Xiuwen quickly stopped him and said, "Come here, dear, don't let him fool you!"
Song Yi laughed loudly when he heard this and said that Xie Xiuwen was petty.
Xie Xiuwen did not dare to relax at all!
What a joke!
They had just rejected the Fang family, saying that their children were weak and had various problems. Now if they really got married to the Song family, I am afraid that the Fang family would react and not let them off lightly.
When Xie Xiuwen went to Fucheng Academy for more than ten days, he specially arranged for one of his classmates to come home to report the letter, and also brought a handwritten letter from him.
Grandpa Xie didn't think much about it, and it was clearly written in the letter. Even if someone from the Song family happened to go to Fucheng, he was hitching a ride, and there were people at the private school who took his place, so he might as well just leave. .
Xie Xiuwen dared to do this, and naturally everything was taken care of. Since everyone else had left, no matter how much the old lady made a fuss, it could not affect him from studying.
I have to say that Xie Xiuwen was really prescient this time.
The very next day after he left, Mr. Xie told his old wife that he was going to study. Naturally, the result was that she was extremely dissatisfied.
Naturally, Mr. Xie pays more attention to his appearance. Besides, if his son really succeeds, it will be the glory of the Xie family.
Unexpectedly, the old wife was so stubborn that she would stop Xie Xiuwen from studying at any cost. She even rubbed Liu Ruolan on the bed, hoping to force Xie Xiuwen to bow his head.
The old lady's fighting ability is naturally not weak. It's not easy for Mr. Xie to ask too many questions about this matter in the inner house, but he still repeatedly told his old wife not to make too much trouble.
Now the Liu family is better off than theirs, so don't ruin the harmony between the two families because of trivial matters.
If the old lady could listen, she would not be a biased old lady.
When it comes to the future, no matter how biased Grandpa Xie is, he will always support his second son. Grandma Xie was angry about this for a few days, secretly thinking about how to stop her second son from taking the scientific examination.
Before Grandma Xie could come up with a perfect plan, news came that Xie Xiuwen had followed the Song family's carriage to Fucheng.
Grandpa Xie didn't think anything was wrong and just left. It was just that he couldn't come back in person. He would be back in a while anyway.
Grandma Xie couldn't bear it anymore. She always felt that her second son didn't take the old couple seriously and dared to leave without even asking for permission. It was simply unfilial!
Of course, even if she scolded her like this at home, no one would take her side if she really went out to speak out.
Xie Xiuwen left, and the Liu family restaurant opened successfully a few days later.
On the opening day, Liu Ruolan went out of her way to take a leave of absence from her father-in-law, and took Guabao with her on the Liu family's mule cart.
When Grandma Xie found out, she lost her temper again.
Grandpa Xie thinks this is a good thing.
Although the Liu family has two talented people, their family background is average.
If the business of this restaurant is good and the money is rich in the future, it may be able to help Xie Xiuwen.
To put it bluntly, I just want my in-laws to help me more with money in the future, so that the pressure on the Xie family can be reduced.
Liu's restaurant is open, offering a 20% discount on the first day, and they even sent bowls of hot and sour noodles to several nearby shops, just to build a good relationship.
Sure enough, there were a lot of people coming to eat at noon, mainly because it was a novelty. After all, most people didn't know what this hot and sour rice noodles were.
Some big men came over and saw that the bowl of hot and sour noodles was not too big, so they simply went to the next door to buy two steamed buns and ate them. In the end, they were sweating profusely and left with satisfaction.
Others seemed to be from slightly better families, so they went to other shops to buy cooked food, and also bought meatloaf, and paired it with a bowl of hot and sour noodles. It was a satisfying meal.
After such busy work, it was directly at the end of the Shen period.
Nowadays, ordinary people eat two meals a day. Generally, they have morning meal at Chen time, and lunch at Shen time. After eating this meal, they will not eat the third meal.
Of course, some wealthy people eat three times a day, so lunch will be at noon and dinner at You hour.
This directly caused the restaurant to be busy from the beginning of noon to the end of Shen time. During these three hours, everyone was naturally very tired.
(Equivalent to working from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.)
Liu Ruolan has also been helping to soak and cook the noodles, and she is never idle.
The hot and sour noodles use sweet potato flour, but this is made by the Liu family themselves. It is smoother and more elastic in the mouth.
Liu Ruolan and her sister-in-law have always been helping in the kitchen. The rules for women in the Da Zhi Dynasty were not so strict, but there were men in the family, so the women worked in the kitchen to avoid trouble.
Xie Rongzhao and several cousins also started to help. What they could do was limited. At most, they helped collect the dishes or pick some vegetable leaves.
After almost a day of busy work, the whole family can finally have something warm to eat at the table.
Several young men from the Liu family ate hot and sour noodles, which made everyone feel comfortable and gave them a thumbs up.
After finishing the meal and cleaning up, Uncle Liu Er was ready to set up a car and take everyone back.
The store has to keep people. Since Boss Liu is working in the county government, he might as well stay here with his wife. Liu Laosan and Erlang will also stay, and Liu Laoer needs to go back early the next morning. The county transported some ingredients back and brought his wife with him.
This arrangement is just to get used to it first. After everyone becomes proficient in doing things in the future, we can then make plans.
As soon as Liu Ruolan and Xie Rongzhao walked in, before they could say hello, someone threw a cup at their feet.
Snapped!
"Do you, mother and daughter, know you are coming back? Are you afraid that you are playing wild outside and don't want to enter my Xie family again?"
