If she remembered correctly, the Wu family was not kind to Zhang, and they would either beat or scold her. If Zhang follows them back, there will definitely be no good end.
Su Liuye sighed and asked Shi Feng to find the Yamen.
Now that Liu Zhiliang and others are imprisoned, there will no longer be that kind of cover-up situation.
As for how Zhang would deal with it, it was her business, and she had no right to interfere.
"I really can't understand why the Zhang family still refuses to make peace and wants to save Wu Ping!" Qin Lian was indignant.
"Okay, Lianlian, let's stop worrying about these matters and let the workers work quickly. We should complete the repairs of the restaurant as soon as possible. There are still many things waiting for us to do."
"good!"
Speaking of this matter, Qin Lian was very motivated and immediately went over to get busy.
Su Liuye was not idle either, supervising the repair work in the hall.
This store has been idle for a long time, so although it is in pretty good shape, the repair work will take a few days to complete.
Su Liuye took advantage of this time to rearrange the menu.
Although Qinghe Town and Luoxi Town are not far apart, their tastes are very different. She visited most of the restaurants in Luoxi Town in the past few days and found that almost every restaurant had sugar water. People in the town seemed to like drinking sugar water.
"Of course! Shopkeeper Su is from out of town, so I don't know."
When the old man in charge of the repair heard her question, he wiped his sweat and said with a smile, "Our town depends on Lingjiang for food. In the past, people didn't have time to eat after getting off the boat. All the people at the pier were selling sugar water."
"Life is getting better now, but all the old boatmen like the taste. They feel uncomfortable if they don't drink a bowl of sugar water for a day!"
"Since there is such a reason?" Su Liuye was surprised.
"That's right." The old master took a sip of water and added, "The best-selling sugar water in town used to be Zhang's sugar water. Unfortunately, there was an accident on the ship that year, and both Father Zhang and his wife were involved in an accident on the ship. It’s such a pity that I only have one daughter left.”
"Uncle seems to know a lot of things." Su Liuye said unexpectedly.
"Of course I do."
The old chef laughed, "I used to be a regular customer of Lai Fuxuan. The sugar water here has a lot of ingredients, such a big bowl!" The old chef made a gesture and smacked his mouth as he recalled the past. Taste, "Drinking a bowl of hot sugar water is more satisfying than eating a meal. If it hadn't been for the accident that year, Laifuxuan would not be like this."
"The shopkeeper remembers the Wu family, right? They're the ones who came over to make trouble that day."
"Of course I remember."
Speaking of the Wu family, Su Liuye frowned subconsciously.
She asked Shi Feng to go to the Yamen to report to the officials that day. Although the officials sent people to take care of it, because Mrs. Zhang was the daughter-in-law of the Wu family, they only sent a few people to look at it and then left it alone.
She hasn't seen Mrs. Zhang in the past few days and doesn't know how she is doing now.
The old master put down the bowl of water in his hand and sighed sadly, "Actually, it was not Wu Ping who got engaged to Zhang Niang, but Wu Shuisheng, another son of the Wu family."
Su Liuye's eyes flickered and she sat next to him and listened.
The old master came to Laifuxuan after many years and was filled with emotion. Seeing that Su Liuye was willing to listen to him, he naturally couldn't hold back what he was saying.
"Wu Shuisheng is actually not the son of the Wu family. He is a child that Father Wu picked up on the dock. He doesn't know whose family he belongs to, so he named him Shuisheng. Oh, this Wu Shuisheng is also a poor person. Wu Ping’s mother has always disliked Wu Shuisheng, and every time Mr. Wu goes out on the ship, Wu Ping’s mother won’t even give him food.”
"But Shuisheng is a very smart kid. If Wu Ping's mother doesn't give him food, he goes out to help with some work and earns money to support himself. Because of his temperament, Father Zhang likes him very much and often lets him He came to Fuxuan to work as an errand boy, and he and Zhang Niang were childhood sweethearts, and they both had a very good relationship."
"When the water grows bigger, Father Zhang will marry Niang Zhang to him. Oh, how wonderful it will be then." The old master sighed.
"In this case, why did Zhang Niang marry Wu Ping in the end?"
Hearing this, Su Liuye became even more confused.
The old master said, "Hey, it makes people sad to talk about it. Back then, Father Zhang and his wife had an accident. Mother Zhang had been observing mourning for three years, and Wu Shuisheng had been taking care of her. The Wu family thought she was killing their father. My mother said that she would be willing to let her in if I paid more dowry, but actually, she just fell in love with Laifuxuan."
"But Father Wu didn't want to, so he left the store to Zhang Niang. But not long after they got married, Father Wu and Wu Shuisheng also encountered big waves on the water. Hey... you tell me, how can a woman go through these things? Is it still okay? Wu Ping’s mother forced Zhang Niang to remarry Wu Ping, saying that the Wu family was good to her and willing to take her in."
"How shameless!"
"That's right!" the old master also scolded, "To put it bluntly, it's this store that I'm trying to figure out! What a pity, these are the affairs of the Wu family, and outsiders can't take care of them. There's nothing you can do about it if you go to the Yamen. It's only Zhang Niang's fault. It's a bad fate, if Wu Shuisheng was still here, things wouldn't be like this."
Having said this, the old master got up and continued to work.
Su Liuye could only sigh.
Zhang is unwilling to reconcile, so outsiders really can't interfere.
After several days of renovation, the restaurant had a new look and the plaque was replaced with cyclamen.
Seeing all this, Su Liuye was in a good mood, and now only the menu was missing to reopen the business.
but……
Looking at the candy stall outside, Su Liuye felt sad.
After several days of observation, she once again deeply realized that if Luoxi Town is to run the store to its full potential, the classic dish of sugar water is indispensable.
She had tasted a lot of sugar water in the past few days, but she still felt that Zhang Niang's craftsmanship was the best. After hearing about Zhang Niang and Wu Shuisheng, she even wanted Zhang Niang to come over and help her.
Back then, Lai Fuxuan was the best sweet shop in Luoxi Town. Zhang Niang was the only daughter of Mr. Zhang, so she would definitely get the authentic craftsmanship. If Zhang Niang could come to her shop, it would be even more powerful.
"Oh, Shi Feng, don't try again, the sugar water you made is really bad!"
As soon as she returned to the store, Su Liuye heard Qin Lian's complaints. When she looked around, she saw several bowls of sugar water on the table. Shi Feng stood beside him with a sad look on his face, "Am I really not good at cooking?" ? I see that those outside are all made of these materials."
"No, no, no! You really don't want to try again!" Qin Lian looked disgusted, "The taste of your cooking is almost the same as the ones outside, no, no, no, the ones outside are much better than yours - A Liu, are you back? Hurry up Please advise Shi Feng, he has already boiled several pots of sugar water, and he still has a lot of kitchen skills!"
Su Liuye went over and took a look. The sugar water on the table was basically the kind that could be found everywhere in Luoxi Town, but Shi Feng had no experience in this area, and the ones he cooked didn't look very good.
