"this……"
"Just come here." Seeing her hesitation, Su Liuye pulled her and whispered, "Today Yue'er hurried over to find me. If something happens to you, what should she and Yun'er do?"
"..."
Mrs. Zhang's eyes turned red, thinking that her two daughters had been stepped on so hard that the backs of their hands were bruised, and her heart ached with pain.
Su Liuye continued, "I think the Wu family will not let you go easily. What they want is the money from you, and they won't give up until they get the money. You take two people with you alone." My daughter lives outside and everyone around her takes care of her, so it’s easy for something to happen.”
Zhang's eyes flickered, today's incident is the best lesson, "I understand, then don't bother Shopkeeper Su. I will pay your rent."
"also!"
Seeing that she finally agreed, Su Liuye breathed a sigh of relief.
After returning to the restaurant, Qin Lian went to find a doctor to check the wounds of Zhang Niangsan and her daughter, and tidied up one of the rooms so that they could stay here temporarily.
After settling the matter, Qin Lian asked her in a low voice, "A Liu, do you want Zhang Niang to come to our restaurant?"
"Smart! Lianlian, you still understand me!" Su Liuye blinked and did not hide her thoughts, "That's what I thought at the beginning, but Zhang Niang didn't agree to me, so I don't know now."
"The sugar water passed down by their ancestors from the Zhang family is very famous in Luoxi Town. The small stall opened by Zhang Niang also had many regular customers who often came to visit. However, Wu Ping came to cause trouble every now and then, which made it impossible for Zhang Niang's business to continue. If she is willing Come to the restaurant and help me, and we won't let Wu Ping mess around."
"I know what you're thinking!" Qin Lian clapped her hands, her eyes full of excitement, "Everyone in Luoxi Town likes to drink sugar water. If we can take down this sign, why worry about not making money?!"
"Right!"
The two talked enthusiastically, and after finishing their meal, they began to study the appropriate menu.
After working hard for several days, the menu was finalized and the recruitment of waiters began.
Taking advantage of the time, Su Liuye wrote a letter and asked someone to send it back to Liu Sheng, so that Liu Sheng could come to Luoxi Town in the next few days to prepare for opening a store.
Cyclamen in Qinghe Town has also begun to reopen early, selling limited quantities of pastries every day. The kitchen is handed over to Chun Rui and Xia Zhi, and the settlement of accounts is left to Ye Wenbin.
Liu Sheng took the initiative and advanced Ye Wenbin a few months' wages so that he could take Ye's mother to see a doctor. He also signed a three-year contract for him, so he was not afraid of him getting into trouble.
The most important thing is that the reputation of Cyclamen is now damaged, and it will not be able to return to its original glory if it reopens.
Liu Sheng wrote in his letter that Cyclamen now only has about ten guests a day, and the cakes he prepared cannot be sold out. In this case, it would be most appropriate to leave cyclamen under the care of Ye Wenbin, and Liu Sheng would also come to Luoxi Town to help.
"It's all that Yu Xiangqin's fault! If it weren't for her, how could Cyclamen's reputation be so bad!" After learning the content of Liu Sheng's reply, Qin Lian was so angry that she asked again, "By the way, A Liu, where is the Yamen?" Is there any news from the side? Have you caught that Yu Xiangqin?"
"Probably not."
Su Liuye folded the letter and frowned, "The letter didn't mention this matter. I went to the Yamen that day to find Mr. Xie. Mr. Xie also said that Yu Xiangqin was very cunning and Tieniushan Mountain was so big. I wanted to find him. She didn’t have it easy.”
"It's so abominable! Brother Chu and Captor Yan have been out for so long, and we don't know when they will come back."
"I don't know either..." Su Liuye lowered her eyes, "I have already asked Master Xie, but Master Xie doesn't know either."
"A Liu, do you think something happened to Brother Chu?" Qin Lian suddenly thought of something and asked nervously, "Do you still remember? There was an explosion in Luoxi Town before. When I went over to ask, Many neighbors nearby saw people from the Yamen going to Yu Xiangqin’s house in the middle of the night, maybe——”
"Will not!"
Su Liuye immediately interrupted her speculation, "If something happened, why didn't Mr. Xie tell me? Moreover, why did Chu Yan follow the Yamen people to Yu Xiangqin's house in the middle of the night?"
Although she said this, Su Liuye's hands were trembling. If she remembered correctly, the last time she saw Chu Yan was before the explosion in Yu Xiangqin's house. Until now, there has been no news about Chu Yan.
"A Liu, don't be like this, I was just talking casually!" Seeing Su Liuye's expression change, Qin Lian knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly changed the subject in a panic, "Look, isn't it the same with Yan Captou?" Did you go out with them? You will come back when they have news!"
Su Liuye knew that she was worried about him, so she forced a smile to tell Qin Lian not to worry.
After returning to the room, she still felt flustered.
But her only way was to go to the Yamen to find Xie Nanxiao. Xie Nanxiao refused to tell her, and she didn't know where to find Chu Yan.
and……
Her eyes darkened.
Since Xie Nanxiao can tell that Chu Yan and Yan Jinglan went out to investigate bandits, maybe it is true...
"Shopkeeper Su, are you there?"
Zhang Niang's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"I'm here, what's wrong?" Su Liuye hurried over to open the door, and at a glance she saw Mrs. Zhang standing outside with a tray and a bowl of hot soup at the door.
She smiled and said, "It's nothing. I happened to be making soup in the kitchen. I saw that there was still light in your room. I thought I brought you the soup before you fell asleep."
"Are you still making soup at this hour?"
They had already had dinner and would go to bed later.
"Yes, it's best to cook this sugar water one night in advance and put it on the stove to warm overnight. It will be just right to drink early tomorrow morning." Zhang Niang put the sugar water in and said with a smile, "You can drink it just after it's been cooked, but it will be lighter. , just in time to drink after a meal.”
"You actually have this little trick?'
Su Liuye heard it was novel, this was the first time she heard about it.
Zhang Niang smiled.
After recuperating in the restaurant for a few days, her complexion improved a lot. In the past few days, Zhang Niang did not go out to set up a stall because she was worried that the Wu family would cause trouble.
She looked at the menu on the table, and after a moment of silence, she asked softly, "Shopkeeper Su, I have something I want to talk to you about."
"What's going on? Please sit down quickly."
"You told me before that you wanted to cooperate with me. Does this matter still count?"
"Of course it counts!" Su Liuye suddenly became energetic, "Ms. Zhang, have you considered it clearly now?"
"Yes."
Mrs. Zhang nodded, "Shopkeeper Su, I still have some money on hand. I wonder if you can buy me the store next door?"
"you mean?"
There is also a small shop next to Laifuxuan, which is also included in the land deed. Mrs. Zhang once told her that this small shop was expanded by her parents before.
