The Peasant Gourment Chef - Chapter 79

Zhang Lin came to help after two days of rest. Li Hehua asked her to rest for a few more days, but she didn’t want to. “The restaurant is busy. If I don’t come, you all have to be more busy. I’m fine. I don’t need to rest anymore.”

Seeing her insistence, Li Hehua did not persuade her any more, but only told her to rest if she felt uncomfortable.

“Hey, I see.” Zhang Lin shaves his hair a little embarrassedly, and slowly handed the burden to Li Hehua, “Lotus, I’m fine at home these days, I’ll do it for you and Shulin alone. I got a dress, your dress is made of the skirt I saw that everyone’s wife was wearing, I don’t know if you like it or not.”

Li Hehua was stunned.

Zhang Tieshan raised his mouth and patted Li Hehua on the back.

Li Hehua came back to his senses, hurriedly took the burden, and opened it in front of Zhang Lin’s face. The children’s clothes were made of muslin, and the style was the same as what Shulin was wearing now, and the dress for her was also The best muslin cloth, the style is really popular in the town now, the stitches are very fine, it looks like it took a lot of effort to do it.

Li Hehua couldn’t react a bit. He didn’t expect Zhang Lin’s to make such good clothes for her. Didn’t she dislike her? What happened?

But no matter what, Li Hehua sincerely thanked, “Thank you, I like it very much.”

Seeing that she accepted it, Zhang Lin looked like she still liked it, rubbed her hands embarrassedly, and said, “Then I’ll go to work.” After speaking, he got into the kitchen as if someone was chasing him.

Li Hehua looked at Zhang Tieshan, blinked, Zhang Tieshan smiled, and stroked her hair, “Mom thank you very much for Qingshan.”

So, Zhang Lin’s view of her has changed? Li Hehua didn’t know what to say for a while.

Zhang Tieshan smiled and kissed her on top of her hair.

Seeing that his mother had come back to help, Zhang Qingshan told Li Hehua and ran out after the busiest time at noon every day.

Li Hehua didn’t ask him why he ran out every day, and let him just go with a smile.

After a few days, Zhang Lin was dissatisfied at first, and twisted Zhang Qingshan’s ears and scolded, “You child, why are you half-hearted, you don’t see you every afternoon, where are you going to play? The restaurant is so busy, you don’t You know how to play if you help me! How can you be so ignorant!”

Zhang Qingshan was twisted and grinned, and hurriedly covered his ears, “Mother, I didn’t go to play, I went to work, you’re embarrassed!”

Zhang Lin didn’t believe him, “What business can you do! I’ll listen to you tell me!”

However, Zhang Qingshan hesitated to say, “Mother, I’m really going to do business, so don’t ask, I’m not going out to play anyway.”

Seeing him, Zhang Lin refused to talk, so she was so angry that she whipped him with a feather duster. She was really angry that her young son was ignorant and lost his apprenticeship job, and even asked his sister-in-law to pay dozens of taels to settle the matter. Twelve taels, some people can’t save so much money in their lifetime, and now it’s because he lost so much money in vain. The most important thing is that this money was earned by Li Hehua, and she took out so much without blinking an eye. Qian settled things for Qingshan, and when she thinks about this these days, she feels pain, gratitude and guilt, not to mention her feelings.

I wanted Zhang Qingshan to come to his sister-in-law to do more work and help out. Anyway, it was a treat. How could I know that this kid is so unprofessional, he only works for half a day and then runs away, how can people not get angry.

She had to wake him up properly.

Seeing that Zhang Qingshan was really going to be beaten, Li Hehua quickly called Shulin and whispered a few words in his ear.

After Shulin listened, his big eyes blinked a few times, and his eyes turned to Zhang Linshi and Zhang Qingshan.

Li Hehua patted his small shoulder, “Shulin, can you complete the task?”

Shulin nodded, made the OK gesture with his right hand that Li Hehua had taught him, turned his body and ran towards Zhang Lin’s side, ran to the front, hugged Zhang Lin’s leg, raised his head and whispered. Shouting angrily: “Grandma—”

Shulin seldom spoke, and the most he said was calling his mother. He called Zhang Lin’s name only a handful of times, and it is conceivable how effective this call is now.

Zhang Lin was hugged by the legs of her beloved grandson, and called grandma by that tender little voice. Rarely, her heart melted because of her grandson’s stickiness. The grandson threw the feather duster all at once, and when he bent over and picked up Shulin, it hurts, “Oh, grandma’s good Shulin, what do you call grandma?”

Shulin blinked, thought for a moment, then pointed at the sugar-fried chestnuts on the table, “Eat.”

Zhang Lin understood in seconds, “Does Shulin want to eat chestnuts? Grandma will peel it for you now.” Then he hugged Shulin and went to sit on the table to eat chestnuts, forgetting that she was waiting to be beaten behind her. ‘s little son.

Zhang Qingshan was let go like this, and his mind was still a little dazed.

Darling, it’s the first time he’s seen his mother so angry, but Shulin’s call will be fine right away, this little guy really works.

Zhang Qingshan rubbed his still aching ears and thanked Li Hehua, “Sister-in-law, thank you, otherwise I’ll be beaten.”

Li Hehua shook his head and pointed at Shulin who was obediently eating chestnuts, “Go and thank Shulin, he saved you.”

Zhang Qingshan grinned and nodded, “Yes, our book forest is the most useful.”

Zhang Tieshan looked at Shulin obediently sitting in Zhang Lin’s arms with a smile in his eyes, but he was very serious when he spoke to Zhang Qingshan, “Your sister-in-law said that you are going to work, I don’t care about you, but you are also a big boy. , you have to know what you should do and what you shouldn’t do.”

Zhang Qingshan nodded, scratched his head again, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but he was afraid of being scolded by his elder brother and mother.

Li Hehua saw Zhang Qingshan’s reluctance to say anything and smiled, “Have you found something you like? It’s okay, just say it, okay, we will definitely support you.”

Probably because Li Hehua’s voice was too gentle, Zhang Qingshan gradually became less anxious. Thinking of what she said to him some time ago, he instantly gathered up his courage and said, “Sister-in-law, I seem to have indeed found something I like.”

Li Hehua’s smile is full of relief and happiness, “Really? This is a good thing, can you tell us about it?”

Zhang Qingshan nodded, “Sister-in-law, I want to open a grocery store.”

“Huh? Grocery store?” Li Hehua didn’t expect Zhang Qingshan to be interested in this, but it’s a good idea.

Zhang Qingshan had the excitement of discovering what he wanted to do, and asked Li Hehua: “Sister-in-law, I really want to open a grocery store, do you think this is good?”

Li Hehua didn’t rush to express his position, but asked, “Why did you think of doing this?”

Zhang Qingshan scratched his head and said with a smile: “This is a reminder that Boss Wang came to me a few days ago. When I chatted with them, I talked about a lot of things that they went all over the place to receive goods at low prices and then sell them at high prices. , I think this is very interesting. The boss Wang said that if they are acquaintances, they can sell it at a low price and let others make another one, which is equivalent to buying from him. He said that they have all kinds of things, and I suddenly thought The grocery store came to mind.”

So this is ah. Li Hehua nodded, “So what are you doing running out every day these days?”

Zhang Qingshan said this with a little smugness and high spirits, “I went to the town for a few days and found that there is only one grocery store in our town, but there are very few things in it, not everything is sold, It mainly sells some needles, threads and brains. I also chatted with the boss. The boss said that it is difficult to buy goods and can only get so many things. I thought, if I also open a shop with very complete things, then Business must be good, sister-in-law, what do you think?”

Isn’t this a modern supermarket?

Li Hehua is a little impressed with Zhang Qingshan now, this kid, with a business acumen, can actually think of using the gang of merchants surnamed Wang to bring goods to open a grocery store, and also thought of going to see the market conditions and market competitiveness first. No way!

There is really only one grocery store in this town, and more stores sell specialty items, which are easy to buy. Like a grocery store, most people don’t have so many purchase channels at all, and there are so many items. One to buy goods, people do not have so much energy.

But if you can get a lot of categories of goods at once, then opening a grocery store will definitely not be bad, because people can buy all their own things directly in one store, and don’t have to go to each store to buy it, very good It is convenient and hassle-free, just like modern people like to go to the supermarket to stock up.

Li Hehua felt that this idea was very good, so she smiled and patted Zhang Qingshan on the shoulder, and said, “I think your idea is very good. If you do it well, you can definitely make money!”

With Li Hehua’s approval, Zhang Qingshan’s heart suddenly flew up, his eyes were bright, and he couldn’t help but look at Zhang Tieshan again, hoping to hear Zhang Tieshan’s thoughts.

Zhang Tieshan was expressionless and did not speak, but he felt that Li Hehua was lightly poking his back. Knowing that she was asking him to express his position, he opened his mouth and said to Zhang Qingshan: “Then you think about it, it’s still a good idea to open a shop. Where does the money for the purchases come from?”

Uh… In a word, like a basin of cold water falling from the sky, it directly extinguished Zhang Qingshan’s enthusiasm and brought him back to reality in an instant.

He just thought that it was a good idea to open a grocery store, but he forgot to think about the capital. Even if he didn’t know how much it was, it wouldn’t work if he didn’t have a few dozen taels. He doesn’t even have a tael of silver on him now. , where did the dozens of taels come from, he is simply a pig’s brain!

Zhang Qingshan felt that he was a bit embarrassed, and ran to the backyard with a wilted head, “I’m going to the yard to chop wood for my sister-in-law.”

Li Hehua looked at the child who was still full of confidence and hope just now, and his brows wrinkled, and he twisted hard behind Zhang Tieshan, “You, what are you doing, pouring cold water!”

Zhang Tieshan was screwed, and he followed her without changing his face, and said: “I just told the truth, no matter what you do, you must have capital. He only thinks about beautiful things, but he doesn’t even consider the most basic capital issues, and he has no money. , what did he do?”

Li Hehua knows that he must consider the cost of everything he does. Zhang Tieshan is also right, but children have finally found hope and goals in life. They should support and encourage them. How can anyone come up like him and pour cold water.

“He is a child now, where does the money come from? But if he really makes progress, we should support him a lot. He has no money. As a brother, you can help your brother.”

Zhang Tieshan looked into Li Hehua’s eyes, reached out and held her hand, “I can help him, but I can’t help him, I’m just doing work for you now, how can I have so much money to open a shop for him? Go up the mountain to fight a tiger.”

Li Hehua’s face changed, and he immediately covered his mouth, “You are not allowed to think about this! You are not allowed to go hunting in the mountains in the future!” Now that he is firmly in her heart, she will never allow him to lie on the deathbed again. In bed, she can’t stand this.

Zhang Tieshan took her hand down and held it in his palm and kissed it, “I won’t go, and I won’t go in the future, don’t be afraid.”

Li Hehua pursed his lips, “You know what I mean, I have money.”

Zhang Tieshan sighed, and simply pulled Li Hehua into the room, held her on his lap and sat face to face, “I know you want to give him this money, but why? You earned the money hard, not Damn it, you have already spent a lot of money for him, even my own brother has no obligation to open a shop for him, you don’t owe him any more, I don’t want him to know to reach out to you if there is anything , I am with you to make you happy, not to make money for my family, do you understand?”

Li Hehua nodded, wrapped his arms around his neck, and put his head in the socket of his neck, “I know, but Qingshan is still small, if he can find a future livelihood now, it will be crucial for his life. The idea of ​​a grocery store is very good, do we just watch him help in the restaurant and waste time? Obviously I have money, so I can help him. “

Li Hehua kissed Zhang Tieshan on the cheek and successfully appeased him, and then said: “I don’t want to give him money for nothing, I’m not a good person, I want to lend him, and I have to pay it back later, at most Just allow him to pay it back slowly, do you think it’s alright?”

Zhang Tieshan kept his face calm and did not speak.

Li Hehua didn’t urge him, and sat quietly in his arms, playing with the placket of his clothes.

For a long time, Zhang Tieshan lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, “Okay, lend it to him, but I will pay it back together with the last twenty-five taels of silver, and I have to make a note. If you recognize someone, I’ll break his leg, and then I’ll pay you back the money, so you won’t be able to spend it in vain.”

Li Hehua nodded with a smile, she knew that he would never let her suffer, and it was because of this that he lived in her heart from outside her heart.

Zhang Tieshan looked at her bright smile and sighed again, “You…” Only after they were together did he realize how soft she was at heart, and she was always wholeheartedly good to the people around her. It is to give the greatest help to others, whether it is for Shulin, or him, or his mother and Qingshan, and everyone in the restaurant.

Zhang Tieshan let Zhang Qingshan dry for a few days. When Zhang Qingshan had almost given up the idea of ​​opening a grocery store, he called him and Zhang Lin together, took out a bag of silver and a note and put it in front of Zhang Qingshan.

“I don’t have so much money on me. Your sister-in-law can’t bear you to give up, so she plans to lend you money to open a grocery store, but the money is lent to you, not given to you in vain. Set up a document and press it if you agree. Handprints, I will pay you back to your sister-in-law in the future.”

Zhang Qingshan was dumbfounded and could not accept the surprise that his dream had risen from the bottom of the valley.

Zhang Lin was even more dumbfounded. He didn’t understand what kind of grocery store. When he figured it out, he was happy and worried. He was worried that Zhang Qingshan would waste so much money if he didn’t do it well, and he was happy that his younger son had an idea. , can think of making money.

“Qingshan, this is not a small amount. You can’t be trusted. What if it doesn’t work, so much money.”

Zhang Qingshan nodded firmly, “Mother, you believe me this time, it is absolutely possible, I have already inquired about it, I have the source of the goods, and I have asked the price, so I can make money. Besides, my mother and sister-in-law also feel very good, saying It can be done.” Zhang Qingshan believed in Li Hehua very much.

It’s rare to see the younger son look so excited and confident. Zhang Linshi wanted to support his son, and after hearing Li Hehua’s support, he even thought that this could be done, but he was worried about the money issue. It would be dozens of taels. Losing it is fatal.

Seeing his mother’s conflicted appearance, Zhang Tieshan said: “Mother, let him try it, a man can’t dare to do anything in his life, even to fight, what kind of a man is he, if he really doesn’t have the ability to pay it back in the end? , let him work for his sister-in-law for the rest of his life.”

Zhang Qingshan nodded vigorously, “Brother, don’t worry, I will definitely pay back my sister-in-law’s money. Even if I fail, I can go to the pier to carry the bag and pay back my sister-in-law’s money. If I don’t pay it back, brother, kill me.”

Zhang Lin looked at the white silver on the table, her eyes were red, she reached out to wipe her eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: “Qingshan, you must remember your sister-in-law, she treats you better than her own brother, do you know that knowledge?”

Zhang Qingshan nodded, “I know, mother, eldest brother, I will treat my sister-in-law as my own sister in the future, and treat her very well.”

Zhang Tieshan patted Zhang Qingshan on the shoulder.

Mrs Zhang Lin rubbed her eyes and looked at Zhang Tieshan, “Tieshan, my mother didn’t treat her as a family before, it was my mother’s mistake, my mother will definitely treat her as a family in the future, no, as a daughter.” How many are there now? Can a daughter-in-law do this well? This is already better than my own daughter.

Zhang Tieshan raised the corner of his mouth, and the stone in his heart disappeared completely.
