The Female Partner Thinks About It

Busy day.

The staff in the store swiftly swept the floor, wiped the tables and chairs, and took the leftovers to the back door and distributed them to the beggars in the city.

Yu Hanzhou and Master Ruan are reconciling accounts.

This day was ushered in, and there were a lot of guests. Although each table presented a signature dish, it still made a lot of profit.

"Just see what happens tomorrow." Master Ruan stroked his beard and smiled.

Yu Hanzhou smiled and said, "It must be good."

"Oh? You talk about it." Master Ruan said.

Yu Hanzhou said: "Our restaurant's dishes have unique tastes, and we invite the master chef to make them, which guests can't eat in other restaurants. Besides, our hospitality is warm and thoughtful, and the guests are happy once they have eaten. Will come again."

Master Ruan nodded, his eyes were quite relieved: "Yes, you are right."

After checking the account, Yu Hanzhou took out a handful of copper coins and sent fifty coins to each of the guys in the shop: "Today, a customer gave extra silver, and the silver ingots she left behind are enough to buy three tables of dishes. What's more, everyone is happy together."

The boys happily took it over: "Thank you, young nephew."

"That guest is very generous, a table full of dishes, she didn't move a chopstick, she even gave so many silver taels." The young man who served the woman in red earlier smacked his lips.

Yu Hanzhou said: "I'm about to talk about this, you listen carefully." When the little guys looked at it seriously, he said: "In the future, no matter if the withdrawn food is moved or not, it is not allowed to serve it to the guests!"

"Yes, young master." The boys answered in unison.

At this time, one person asked: "Then, what should I do? Wouldn't it be a waste to just leave it in the kitchen?"

"Put it in the back kitchen. After closing, we can eat it by ourselves." Yu Hanzhou said, "Or, whoever likes it, buy it back at half price, whether it's taking it home to eat or giving it away, whatever you want."

There are very few situations like the woman in red. There is no one who has too much money to spend, ordering a table of dishes, but not moving a single bite. That being the case, there is no need to worry, just keep it for yourself, and treat everyone occasionally.

The food at Zhiwei Lou is not cheap. If you are reluctant to eat it and want to buy it for a cheaper price, you can do whatever you want.

After Yu Hanzhou finished speaking, he looked at Master Ruan: "Uncle, can I arrange this properly?"

When everyone heard it, they all looked at Master Ruan. I thought to myself, Young Master Nephew is really used by the owner, looking at her momentum just now, it's like the Zhiwei Building was opened by her family.

"Okay." Master Ruan nodded.

After the accounts were settled, Master Ruan asked everyone to give a few words, then got up and took Yu Hanzhou home.

Mr. Ruan is a practical man, and he said that if you buy a house, you should buy a house. And luck is also good. I quickly bought a rather exquisite house. It was a businessman who was in urgent need of money and was in a hurry to sell. The price was not high, and the purchase was very cost-effective.

It's just a little smaller than the courtyard in Qing County, but it's more refined in terms of refinement. After buying the house, the servants cleaned up for a few days, and a few days before the opening of Zhiwei Building, the whole family moved in.

Yu Hanzhou also thought about whether the aunts could move in? If the concubines were all jealous and restless, Yu Hanzhou would definitely not let them move in and leave them in Qing County. But the concubines are very quiet, it does not affect the relationship between Master Ruan and Mrs. Ruan, and they are all very diligent, Yu Hanzhou didn't say anything, the family was neat, and they moved in a lot.

Mrs. Ruan had been waiting for a long time. When she saw someone coming back, she took Yu Hanzhou's hand first: "My son, are you tired from the day?"

Yu Hanzhou pouted and stomped his feet gently: "My legs are about to break."

The original owner was not a person who reported good news but not bad news, Yu Hanzhou followed the character design, hugged Mrs. Ruan and acted like a spoiled child: "Mother, it's so hard to do things!"

Madam Ruan was distressed and tearful: "My dear, I won't go tomorrow. Your father will take care of me, so I don't have to work hard."

Yu Hanzhou broke free from her arms and said, "No, I have to go."

The daughter has always been so stubborn, Mrs. Ruan had no choice but to ask the maids to bring the dishes quickly, and the family hurried to eat.

After eating, Yu Hanzhou went back to his room, without delaying the communication between Master Ruan and Mrs. Ruan's husband and wife.

And Mrs. Ruan did have a lot to say to Mr. Ruan.

"Sister came over today and sat down, and brought up the marriage." When Mrs. Ruan said this, she did not regard Mrs. Xiao as a little sister-in-law, but regarded her as the man's elder, "Otherwise, what you can't get is everything. Okay? I've never seen her so tight before."

Asked Mrs. Ruan to say that if it was really urgent, the marriage would have been settled a long time ago. For so many years, I just took my daughter to live there and treated her like a relative. Who was she fooling? Don't you want to pick and choose, take a look, and ride a donkey to find a horse?

But Mrs. Ruan is the same. She also has a heart of riding a donkey to find a horse. She just has a tacit understanding with the Xiao family and does not say it clearly. Therefore, she doesn’t blame Mrs. Xiao.

Mr. Ruan said: "She has been like this since she was a child. What she gets is fine, but what she can't get is heartbroken. In the past, I can give her everything I can give her. But Zhouzhou is not good, Zhouzhou is my daughter. , she was thinking in vain."

Mrs. Ruan couldn't help laughing out loud, and then sighed: "Hongyuan is a good boy, we don't want him in Zhouzhou, what kind of person will we find in the future?"

Today, a matchmaker came to the door and said that the two families were willing to join the marriage. One was in extreme poverty and wanted to see a doctor for the old mother.

"It's a good thing to have filial piety." Master Ruan commented, "It's a good thing not to be favored, at least not to enter our house and post it back." After he finished speaking, he asked about the age of the two families, their appearance, and the opinions of their neighbors. , finally shook his head: "Let's take a look."

A man of average appearance, not too young, and his family is destitute. If he misses this village and has another store, Mr. Ruan is not in a hurry.

The couple got into bed. Madam Ruan saw the person beside the pillow frowning, so she half sat up and pinched his brows. Master Ruan enjoyed the gentleness of his wife for a while, and sighed, "Zhouzhou is suffering today, are you okay? See, she is standing at the door with a smiling face and welcoming guests, saying all her good things, and I feel sad when I look at it. My daughter, when did she end up making a smile for others? "

"But when I saw her smiling eyes, this child obviously didn't feel bitter, but just had fun. I couldn't say anything when I was full of words." Master Ruan was uncomfortably grabbing the clothes on his chest, "She ran up and down to entertain. Guest, I saw her hiding in a corner and rubbing her feet for a while, and I felt very uncomfortable at that time-"

Mrs. Ruan was also uncomfortable, lying on the shoulder of Mr. Ruan, her eyes were wet: "It's not that we don't support her, she marries us with dowry, and we will support her if she recruits. What does she suffer from this crime?"

Mrs. Ruan didn't understand very well, why did her daughter suddenly stop being squeamish? Turning to think of it, Yu Hanzhou fluttered into her arms and acted like a spoiled child when she entered the door, and felt that her daughter was not unloving, she just had this temper. I used to like Xiao Hongyuan, I didn't feel wronged when I did anything, and I was happy with my heart. Now that she has to recruit children and set up a door, she doesn't feel wronged, and she is happy to run errands.

"This child is stubborn." Mrs. Ruan felt distressed and relieved.

Master Ruan wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "It's good that she is happy."

After living for half a lifetime, Master Ruan has no other requirements, as long as his daughter is happy.

At this time, the Xiao family.

Mrs. Xiao was asking her son: "How is your uncle's business? Are you busy? Are there many guests?"

Xiao Hongyuan answered one by one: "Don't worry, mother, my uncle's restaurant is fine. The classmates I invited to go have said yes, and I will go again when I have a rest in the future."

Mrs. Xiao also knew that her brother was very good at business, so she was not very worried, and looked at her son again: "Have you seen your cousin?"

During the day, Mrs. Xiao went to Ruan's house. She wanted to show her love to her niece, but she didn't expect her to be at home. What Mrs. Ruan said at the time was that the restaurant opened today, and the children went to watch the fun. Mrs. Xiao didn't know about her niece disguised as a man, and she thought she was really going to play.

Xiao Hongyuan didn't think much, and said directly: "See you, my cousin is also very good." His eyes were bright and his face was smiling, isn't it good?

"You bastard!" Madam Xiao got angry, pointed at him and said, "What's wrong with your cousin, you're just not enlightened?"

Xiao Hongyuan was tired of this matter these days. He didn't want to contradict his mother, so he said, "Mother, the child remembers something, so I won't disturb my mother's rest." He bowed and quickly slipped away.

Mrs. Xiao was angry and helpless.

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed. The business of Zhiwei Lou has always been very prosperous, with a steady stream of customers coming. There are also regular customers from Qing County who said, "Yes! It's this flavor! How are the masters and apprentices doing the same thing? I'm not used to it."

Mr. Ruan heard this and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, I told you to come all the way to eat this. I invited this table today, you can eat well."

The guest was very happy and gave him a thumbs up: "Dongjia Renyi!"

Yu Hanzhou's position in the restaurant was also pinpointed, that is, the lobby manager. When you have nothing to do, greet guests at the door. When she was busy, she helped the little guy greet the guests. When there is a dispute, deal with it.

Master Ruan watched from the side. Although her daughter was young, her brain was still alive. Although she did not handle it properly sometimes, when people saw that she was young and had a smiling face, they would not care about her. Overall, it looks very capable.

"Tiger fathers have no dog daughters." Master Ruan thought so.

He not only has business in the capital, but also in Qing County, and he has opened several banks, not only in Qing County. Seeing that his daughter was very capable, he slowly let go of his worries and left for Beijing.

After he left for a few days, Yu Hanzhou was not afraid. She was not really fourteen years old, and her mind was already calm.

On this day, Yu Hanzhou had just led a few scholars upstairs, and when he was going downstairs, he heard a sound of inhalation coming from the door. Probe and take a look, oh, what a beauty!

The black hair is like a waterfall, draped directly behind his back, with a face that deceives Frost and Sai Xue, his eyebrows are long and narrow, his expression is cold and arrogant, and his beauty is extremely impactful. of.

When Yu Hanzhou saw her, a thought popped into his mind—this beauty was carefully carved out of beautiful jade by God, and the rest of the world simply pinched it with yellow clay.

She recognized at a glance that this was the woman in red who ordered a table of dishes last time, but didn't eat a single bite. However, she wore a long purple dress today, and the fabric used was still rare, smooth and bright, with complicated dark lines, gorgeous but not vulgar, which made her look noble and imposing.

"The distinguished guest is here again." Yu Hanzhou hurried downstairs and greeted him with a smile.

The woman was still leading a group of maids and maids. Seeing Yu Hanzhou, her eyes narrowed, and then she nodded slowly: "You lead the way."

"Yes." Yu Hanzhou replied with a smile, walking neatly ahead.

She led the woman to the private room on the second floor to sit down and asked with a smile, "What do you want to use today?"

"What?" the woman asked.

Yu Hanzhou reported the name of the dish again. Her voice is clear and long, very distinguishable, and even melodious. The woman in purple scrutinized her while listening to her sign up for the name of the dish.

This young man is wearing a green shirt today. The blue shirt last time made him look cheerful and enthusiastic. This time the green shirt makes him look lively and full of life.

The clothes Yu Hanzhou wore were all made for her by the aunts at home. The aunts felt that the young lady was young and liked bright colors, so they chose bright fabrics for her clothes. After Mrs. Ruan looked at it, she felt that her daughter was wearing it well, so she allowed it.

Yu Hanzhou is not particularly conscious about what she wears, as long as she doesn't reveal her stuff. Therefore, I didn't pay attention to the woman in purple. After reporting the name of the dish, she smiled and said, "What dish do you want to order?"

The woman in purple said, "What's your name?"

Yu Hanzhou was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "Ruanzhou."

"Who are you?" The purple-clothed woman asked again.

She has a very beautiful face, even a bit of a demonic look, and she has a slightly neutral voice. Because of this voice, her demonic aura seemed charming rather than charming, and no one could put the word "frivolous" on her head.

Yu Hanzhou was not a particularly casual person, but when she saw this woman, she couldn't help but want to see her. I want to see her eyebrows clearly, see her eyes clearly, take a good look at her, see how long her facial features are, how can they be so beautiful?

"The owner is my uncle." She tried her best to restrain her gaze not to be offensive, and lowered her head after a glance.

The woman in purple is used to seeing all kinds of undisguised hot eyes from others. You Qi was walking on the street, and people who didn't know her identity would always stare at her directly, as if they could take advantage of one glance. But the young man in front of him was very restrained. He was obviously tempted by lust, but he was able to restrain himself from being abrupt and let the woman in purple give him a high look.

She was in a much better mood, and her tone could be heard lightly: "Give me some."

Yu Hanzhou was stunned for a moment. Taking advantage of the opportunity of being stunned, he raised his eyes again to look at the face: "Ah?"

"What do you order, what do I eat." The woman in purple said.

Yu Hanzhou felt that this beauty was a bit strange. The last time I was talking about taking advantage of it, but in fact I was doing something that was disadvantageous - I ordered a table of dishes, didn't move a single bite, and even left three tables of money.

This time, she actually asked her to help order the dishes?

"Okay." Yu Hanzhou did not refuse, as long as the guests' requests were not excessive, she could satisfy them, "How many dishes would you like?"

"Six Paths."

"What's the taboo?"

"Don't eat eggs."

Yu Hanzhou asked a few more questions, then ordered six dishes, two signature dishes, four home-style dishes, four hot and two cold, three meat and three vegetarian dishes, plus a soup.

The servants next to this woman would definitely not be able to eat them. She ordered six dishes by herself, and she couldn't finish them all. Yu Hanzhou didn't think it was a waste, anyway, he could give to the beggars if he couldn't finish his meal, and he thought it was this great beauty who did a good deed every day.

"What do you think?" Yu Hanzhou asked after ordering.

The woman in purple nodded: "Yes."

Yu Hanzhou was about to go out to shout for food, when the woman in purple said again, "Have you read books?" Yu Hanzhou was stunned for a while before answering, "I haven't read much, and only know a few words."

The original owner liked Xiao Hongyuan. In order to talk to Xiao Hongyuan, she read a lot of poems. Naturally, I can also recognize some words.

"Well, let's go out." The woman in purple got her answer and told her to leave without saying anything.

After Yu Hanzhou went out, she felt quite surprised, but she quickly got rid of the strangeness and asked the little guy to go to the kitchen to order food.

"Master, my aunt is coming to the house, and my wife told you to go back." A little maid from the house ran out and found Yu Hanzhou and said.

Seeing that Mrs. Ruan called her, Yu Hanzhou told the building and went home.

In the private room on the second floor, the six dishes and one soup of the beauty in purple came up quickly after Yu Hanzhou's special order.

She picked up the chopsticks to try the dish, and she felt appetizing when she heard the name of the dish sung in chorus by the boy. But a figure passed by, and then the silver needles went in and out of each dish, and the face of the beauty in purple became cold.

She put down her chopsticks and looked at Mammy's actions mockingly.

Mammy finished the inspection, and saw that the master didn't lose his temper and left, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Master, it's ready to use."

The beauty in purple sneered: "How can it be used? It's not finished yet."

Mammy was stunned, looked at the dishes, and thought that she was not old and confused, and she had clearly tested it?

She looked at her companions, and before she had time to accept the hint, she heard the beauty in purple say: "You have tested the duck legs, but the duck breast has not been tested! This one, you only tested the balls, and the winter melon has not been tested! This one... How about just poking it? What if they were poisoned unevenly, and you only detected the places that were not poisoned?"

Mammy's face turned gray, knowing that the master was not satisfied again, she opened her mouth to say something, and suddenly heard a "crunch", the beauty in purple pushed the table and stood up, with a cold face, and strode out.

Everyone had to rush to keep up, and hurriedly took out a piece of silver and put it on the table.

After going downstairs, the beauty in purple did not see Yu Hanzhou in the lobby, and frowned slightly: "Where's Ruanzhou?"

"Our young nephew went to his house, do you have anything to do with him?" said the little guy, "I'm going to call him back?"

The beauty in purple heard that Yu Hanzhou was not there, and left.

The author has something to say:

Ergengjun: I announce that I will clock in on time today!
