"The store is not so busy now. Let's arrange for everyone to eat in batches."
"Let's go eat too." Shen Shuangshuang said.
Cheng Lei touched his belly.
"Yeah." He agreed.
As soon as we entered the store, the chef brought two mandarin duck pots.
Shen Shuangshuang, Cheng Lei, and the main management staff of the store sat at the same table.
Some waiters who took a break first sat at another table.
Everyone started eating hot pot.
Cheng Lei was hungry before, and now he was eating his favorite hot pot again, eating quickly.
After eating for a while, I felt my stomach felt better, and then I chatted with Shen Shuangshuang.
"Most of the guests who came today were satisfied with our dishes, and almost every table got a membership card."
"I'm afraid our income from membership cards alone will be over a hundred taels at noon." Cheng Lei said happily.
His sister is a genius. Judging from the situation today at noon, this hotpot restaurant can definitely make a lot of money.
Shen Shuangshuang raised the corners of his mouth.
"If you apply for a membership card, today's meal fee can be worth fifty cents before discount. It's such a bargain, it would be weird not to take it up."
"Yes. It's me, I can do it too." Cheng Lei said with a smile.
"There are more diners in the evening, and there must be people who apply for membership cards."
"Um."
"I have something to do this afternoon, so I won't stay in the store."
"After today's noon, everyone should know how to do things and cope. You should keep an eye on the store." Shen Shuangshuang said to Cheng Lei.
Cheng Lei paused.
"Okay." He responded.
He had made an agreement with his sister at the beginning, and she would provide the skills and he would provide the people.
Now that the store has opened, Sister's work is almost done, and it is his turn to take care of the hot pot restaurant.
Shen Shuangshuang encouraged Cheng Lei.
After finishing the meal, he left.
She had to go to Dahe Village to manage the rice seedlings and land.
Next year she will have Zhuangzi, and this year she will have to cultivate a batch of crops so that she can have seeds for next year.
When they arrived at Dahe Village, Shen Shuangshuang first went to the workshop, then picked up some farm tools and went to the fields.
Uncle Wu followed her previous instructions and found someone to fence her land.
Unless the fence is opened, it will be difficult for outsiders to see what is going on inside.
I heard from Uncle Wu that after the land was circled, many people came to him to inquire about the situation.
It has happened before that someone was curious enough to pick up the fence to check.
But after he told everyone that it contained melon and fruit seedlings grown by Dong Shen's family, everyone was no longer curious.
When they arrived at the field, Shen Shuangshuang first checked the condition of the seedlings.
Some seedlings that met the transplant conditions were transplanted.
She is prepared to do all the seedling raising, transplanting, weeding and fertilizing herself.
The seeds she used were all accumulated after the end of the world. This era, or before Shangyang Town, did not exist.
Each of these seeds is very precious and must be cared for carefully after growing into seedlings.
She has the power of wood. If she takes care of them, they will grow better. She wouldn't trust it if she left it to others.
Shen Shuangshuang was busy in the fields for a long time.
When I returned to the workshop after finishing my work, it was already past midnight.
At this time, there are still many workers in the workshop working overtime.
Shen Shuangshuang heard someone gossiping.
"I heard that Li Laoer wanted to marry his daughter-in-law to an old widower in Liangcun. It was said that the old widower paid six taels of silver as a bride price." A woman said.
"She's not marrying his daughter-in-law, she's clearly his girl!" Another woman answered.
"I know this."
"The widower originally settled on Li Lao'er's daughter, but Li Lao'er felt that his daughter was worth more than six taels, so he wanted to marry his daughter-in-law."
"But one is a young lady and the other is a widow. It's strange that the widower agrees. Now this matter is still being stirred up."
"Li Lao'er has collected the money and still won't return it. If the widower doesn't relent, I'm afraid Li Erya will have no choice but to get married."
"What a sin! Then Li Erya is only fifteen, right? How old is the old widower?" the woman asked curiously.
"I don't know the exact age, but I think he must be at least thirty."
"You're not committing any crime!"
"Don't say that Li Erya committed evil by marrying to her, I think Liu also committed evil by marrying to her."
"Although Mrs. Liu is a widow, she is still only seventeen or eighteen."
"By the way, what's Mr. Liu's attitude?"
"What's your attitude? Of course I don't agree."
"But her husband is dead and she has no children. Staying in the Li family is not a long-term solution. Her parents' family didn't say anything about taking her back?"
"Hey, Mrs. Liu doesn't have a good relationship with her natal family."
"I'm telling you quietly, but don't tell anyone else -
"She seemed to have eloped with the dead Li family man."
"At that time, before the two got married, Mrs. Liu went to live with Li's family. At that time, Mrs. Liu's mother-in-law even came to the house to make trouble."
"Although the two got married, there was no wedding banquet. I heard that Liu's mother-in-law's family sent the person to Li's house and then went back without even entering."
"What else is happening?!"
"Can I lie to you?! My family is very close to the Li family, and I saw it for real that day!"
"Tsk, what do you think about Mrs. Liu? Are you out of your mind?"
"It's strange that it doesn't work. I think the calculation has gone too far."
"I heard that she used to work as a maid for a wealthy family in the town. Later, she committed a crime and was kicked out by the owner."
"I guess I have taken a liking to the Dalang of the Li family, and I think Li Dalang will be prosperous in the future."
"It's a pity that the eldest son of the Li family died so quickly, and her dream was shattered."
"Tsk, you're asking for trouble! You don't even know who the Li family is before you jump in."
"No. When Mrs. Liu entered the Li family, Mrs. Zhang would hit and scold her. My family could hear Mrs. Zhang's scolding every day. I heard...the child in Mrs. Liu's belly was the one who was killed by Mrs. Zhang. It was rubbed off by Shu."
"You have no conscience! That Mrs. Zhang's mouth is not forgiving. Going crazy and dying is retribution..."
"Shh, stop talking..."
Shen Shuangshuang didn't hear any noise, so he continued walking inside.
The two women chatting became nervous when they saw her.
Seeing that Shen Shuangshuang didn't speak, he breathed a sigh of relief.
It's the fifth day of April, and it's ten days in the blink of an eye.
After the opening of Shen Ji Lao Hotpot, the business gradually stabilized.
Because of the unique way of eating hot pot and its delicious taste, Shen Ji Lao Hot Pot has a very good business.
Shen Shuangshuang went to Shen Ji Lao Hotpot less and less often, and Cheng Lei could basically handle it easily.
On this day, Shen Shuangshuang went to Dahe Village to do field work again.
Thinking that she had not been here for three days, Shen Shuangshuang asked Aunt Wang to inquire about the situation of the Li family.
After all, gossip is not always something that can be overheard.
As for her, Aunt Wang, she was the gossip in the village.
Even if she didn't go for a walk in the village, the news in the village could rarely be hidden from her.
"The biggest thing about the Li family is probably that Li Erya will marry the widower Wang of Liangcun."
"The widower Wang came to pick him up three days ago and dragged him away on an ox cart."
"Hey, that widower Wang is already thirty-five, a full twenty years older than Li Erya! That conscienceless Li Erya can really do it!" Aunt Wang couldn't help but curse.
