Zhan's servant hurried to Sheng Guo'er's pastry shop. It happened that Guo'er was not there, and Xu Shuxin was busy in the store. Since the new store had just opened, although it had gone through the coupon activity, as the activity became more popular, It subsided, and there weren't many customers coming, because Guo'er may have forgotten one thing, which is whether the new pastries are in line with the taste of the people here.
Therefore, Xu Shuxin plans to research some pastries that suit the tastes and eating habits of people here.
While Xu Shuxin was developing new pastries, the waiter ran over and said, "Shopkeeper Xu, the servants of the Fitai family have something urgent to do with Boss Sheng!"
Xu Shuxin said: "You go back and tell him that Boss Sheng is not in the store..."
Unexpectedly, before Xu Shuxin could finish speaking, the servants of the Futai family burst in hurriedly!
"Where's Boss Sheng?" The servant shouted anxiously: "Boss Sheng, help!"
Xu Shuxin said: "Boss Sheng is not here, what do you want to see her for?"
The servant said out of breath: "After my son ate some of Boss Sheng's compressed biscuits, his belly immediately became bloated. Now it's almost bursting. Please Boss Sheng, please hurry up and help!"
Xu Shuxin suddenly remembered that Sheng Guoer said that if someone eats too many compressed biscuits, use soda water to save them.
Now there happened to be soda water prepared by Sheng Guoer in the store. She hurriedly got a bottle and said: "Boss Sheng left this bottle of soda water. It is for life-saving use. Take me there quickly!"
Seeing that the young master was saved, the servant immediately became excited and dragged Xu Shuxin away!
There was the Zhan family's carriage outside. As soon as Xu Shuxin got on the carriage, the servant immediately whipped the horse, almost causing Xu Shuxin to fall in the carriage.
When they arrived at Master Futai's house, the servants hurriedly led Xu Shuxin to the courtyard, but they saw Meng Xingzhou supporting Zhan Yuzhao lying on the recliner. Zhan Yuzhao had a bulging belly and was sweating profusely.
Xu Shuxin hurriedly stepped forward and said, "This is the soda water left by Sheng Guo'er. Drink it and you will be fine!"
Meng Xingzhou said: "Then give it to him quickly!"
"Wait a minute, what is this, how can I use medicine!" Hao Langzhong said seriously, "Master, the efficacy of the medicine is unknown, so we cannot use medicine!"
Meng Xingzhou felt that the old man was really pedantic, so he simply took the soda water and gave it to Zhan Yuzhao.
Hao Langzhong was shocked and said angrily: "You, you dare to use medicine indiscriminately without asking about the properties of the medicine. If the young master has any shortcomings..."
Meng Xingzhou shouted: "Then I'll pay for his life!"
At this moment, Zhan Yuzhao suddenly let out a long burp, and then his stomach began to slowly deflate.
Not long after, Zhan Yuzhao finally returned to normal after burping.
Mr. Hao was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that Sheng Guoer was proficient in medicine. What kind of woman was she?
"Hurry up and help the young master go back to your room and rest!" Hao Langzhong said, "I'll prescribe some nourishing pills and you'll be fine in a few days!"
After finishing speaking, Hao Langzhong looked at Meng Xingzhou with a strange look, then cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Meng, if I have time, I would like to visit your lady in person and ask her how she cured my young master's illness! "
Meng Xingzhou returned the courtesy and said: "Mr. Hao, you are very polite. I would be honored if you could come to my residence in person."
Hao Langzhong twirled his beard and said: "In this case, I will wait for the young master to recover and find time to ask you two for advice!"
Meng Xingzhou smiled and said: "Mr., you are too polite. We and I still want to learn more from him!"
Hao Langzhong nodded, thinking that these two were really a virtuous couple who knew how to respect their teachers.
Over there, after Zhan Yuzhao recovered, he deeply realized the truth of biting off more than he could chew. Who would have thought that Sheng Guoer's compressed biscuits could really keep people from being hungry for two days.
Zhan Yuzhao really regretted why he ate so much. But this also proves from the side that the compressed biscuits produced by Shengguoer are indeed miraculous and can be used as military rations for the march!
"Please come in, the shopkeeper of Sheng Guoer!" Zhan Yuzhao said while lying on the recliner. At this moment, he has not recovered his strength, so he has no strength to speak.
The servant came to the courtyard and said to Xu Shuxin: "My young master, please ask shopkeeper Xu to come in."
Xu Shu thought to herself, what would Zhan Yuzhao do if he wanted to go in there by himself? But out of concern, Xu Shuxin followed the servant into the inner hall.
When Xu Shuxin, dressed in white, appeared in front of Zhan Yuzhao, Zhan Yuzhao seemed to have seen a fairy in a trance.
Xu Shuxin stepped forward and said, "Xu Shuxin has met Mr. Zhan."
Zhan Yuzhao stood up slightly and said, "Please sit down."
But as soon as he finished speaking, Zhan Yuzhao felt a little dizzy and passed out.
Xu Shuxin hurriedly stepped forward to check and found that Zhan Yuzhao had fainted just because of the dissipation of his strength. He was relieved a little. The servant looked very scared. Xu Shuxin said calmly: "It's okay, I was just too tired and fell asleep. You guys fell asleep." Take good care of him and drink some ginseng soup after he wakes up to nourish him. By the way, don’t eat any food during this period and eat more rice porridge!"
The servant cupped his hands and said, "I know, thank you so much, Shopkeeper Xu!"
When Xu Shuxin was studying cooking in Xingzhengyuan, she also learned about medicated diet, so she knew quite well what kind of meal to use for such a situation, so Sheng Guoer would give Xu Shuxin a look when she came out with the menu and ask her to help. Only after checking the menu will the menu be released.
Seeing that Zhan Yuzhao was fine, Xu Shuxin left the soda water and went back with Meng Xingzhou.
On the way, Xu Shuxin didn't know what to say to Meng Xingzhou, but Meng Xingzhou spoke first: "The pastry shop has been very busy recently, especially the military ration business, which has made it too hard for you!"
Xu Shuxin shook her head and said, "It's not hard. With Sheng Guoer's steam engine, our work has become much easier. Guoer is really a strange person. Mr. Meng was right to choose her. If it were me, I would also choose such a woman as my wife."
Meng Xingzhou felt a little apologetic in his heart. It was a bit too much to treat Xu Shuxin's kindness so coldly, so Meng Xingzhou said: "Miss Xu, my attitude was relatively cold at first. Please forgive me, but Guo'er is indeed very attractive to me, and I have the same idea, so I also hope that you can find a husband who will grow old with you in the future!"
Xu Shuxin smiled and said: "I won't bother Mr. Meng to worry about this matter. Just let everything go!"
As the carriage was traveling on the road, Meng Xingzhou suddenly saw some boatmen, carriage drivers, etc. on the side of the road eating cold steamed buns, drinking cold water, and eating pickles. He couldn't help but said: "It seems that the clan system is really bad, and the common people have no vested interests." .”
Xu Shuxin said curiously: "Why does Mr. Meng have such an idea?"
Meng Xingzhou said: "Actually, when our dynasty was just established, it was a time when everything was waiting to be revitalized. However, the dynasty's meritorious deeds and old enclosures harmed the people and made the people miserable. Refugee uprisings occurred in many places. Although the dynasty suppressed them, this is Treating the symptoms but not the root cause! That’s why so many refugees and refugees are created.”
Looking at Meng Xingzhou's appearance, Xu Shuxin felt that Meng Xingzhou cared about the people and was a good official.
Meng Xingzhou said: "If there is a way to make the refugees and refugees well fed, I will have the confidence to write to the county magistrate and ask him to accept the refugees and refugees into the city!"
Xu Shuxin said: "But, how can we make them full? Is compressed biscuits enough?"
Meng Xingzhou said: "Of course not, these are for the imperial army. If you do them for refugees and refugees, it will inevitably lead to the impeachment of hundreds of officials in the court. After all, the clan system is very important now. Soldiers are much higher than refugees. The imperial court is I won’t agree to use compressed biscuits as food rations for refugees and refugees!”
Xu Shuxin couldn't think of a good way for a while.
When we got home, Sheng Guoer came back from taking inventory of the store.
"Hey, why are you two back together?" Sheng Guoer asked curiously.
After Meng Xingzhou explained the whole story clearly, Sheng Guoer nodded and said, "Since you drank soda water, nothing will happen."
Then, Meng Xingzhou talked about the eating conditions of homeless people and refugees on the street, as well as some of the so-called low-level workers in the so-called highly privileged jobs. Meng Xingzhou's face was very worried, and he said: "Guo'er, I intend to open a porridge restaurant to help refugees. "
Sheng Guoer pondered for a moment and said: "Although the idea is good, it is very difficult. We have competitors now. How you run the business is beyond their control. Everyone is just showing off their talents. But if you open a porridge restaurant, you will not only fight It’s the face of Mr. Futai and Mr. County Sheriff, and it slaps the face of our colleagues. This is tantamount to a clear attempt to win people’s hearts.”
Xu Shuxin also said: "Guo'er is right, and you also said that refugee uprisings are happening now. If the Holy One knows about it, will he blame you for your evil intentions in winning people's hearts? We won't be able to tell at that time!"
Xu Shuxin's kind reminder made even Sheng Guoer admire her foresight. At this moment, Sheng Guoer felt that she had made the right move with Xu Shuxin.
But it won't work if we don't save the refugees. If there are more refugees, trouble will occur. This is a hidden disaster for Sheng Guoer's shop, which has just started to open!
"If it weren't for the cruel exploitation by Wei Jinzhong and others, the people would not be like this!" Meng Xingzhou said with a hint of anger.
Sheng Guoer asked: "Ms. Sir, has Old Thief Wei replied to your letter?"
Meng Xingzhou said: "Zhan Yuzhao will report this matter, but I guess there will be results tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!"
Sheng Guoer asked Xu Shuxin again: "How many compressed biscuits have been made?"
Xu Shuxin said: "It should be enough to feed five thousand people!"
Sheng Guoer nodded and said, "Don't do it now, wait for the news!"
Xu Shuxin nodded. If there is no news, it will be in vain.
At this moment, Sheng Guoer suddenly had an idea. She said: "We will distribute the compressed biscuits for these five thousand people to the refugees and refugees, but it will not be for free. They need to give a penny. Those who have no money, Just work to pay off the debt!”
Meng Xingzhou asked: "Guo'er, what do you mean? Can't we give it to refugees?"
Sheng Guo'er said: "Until the court replies, this batch is not military rations. I want to show Old Thief Wei that I have fed the refugees, so what worries does he have!"
Meng Xingzhou muttered: "Madam is right, this old thief Wei is suspicious by nature, not to mention that you are my wife, of course he will be careful and may not even send you an order, but if you do this, you will undoubtedly give it to Mr. Wei." The thief has learned a lesson, that is, the refugees are all well, so what are you afraid of!"
Sheng Guoer looked at Meng Xingzhou with admiration, thinking that her husband was just a roundworm in her belly!
Seeing the affectionate eyes between the two of them, Xu Shu felt sweat dripping down his neck. He stood up and said, "You two, please study it yourself. I have to go back to the store to take care of you, so I'll take my leave first!"
Sheng Guoer looked at Xu Shuxin leaving and said, "It's time to find someone reliable for this girl!"
