Rebirth of Tang Dynasty as a dad

Du Shaoqing just wanted to complain that the monkey-player frightened his daughter, but he was even more embarrassed when he heard this, so he hurriedly hugged his daughter and apologized and left. On the way, he smiled wryly at Xuanxuan: "Girl, can we stop for a while? Selling clay figurines to others You told me to pinch Big Big Wolf, and you asked someone to make you a bald man for the kite seller, and now you want to grab the monkey with the monkey player, Daddy is taking you shopping today, we are not here to spoil the scene."

After speaking, he turned his head and looked at his daughter. The little girl looked at a loss as if she didn't understand. Du Shaoqing sighed and said, "Well, I'd better take you to make a new dress, this will be fine."

"Dad, didn't mother say that you can only wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year?" Xuanxuan asked innocently.

Du Shaoqing was tired of holding the child on his back, and replied with a smile: "That was before. From now on, you can wear new clothes every day. Today, Daddy will find someone to make you the most beautiful clothes in the world. After wearing them, you will be The most beautiful little princess in the whole world."

After hearing this, the little girl's eyes lit up little stars, "Really? Is it the same as Snow White?"

"Prettier than Snow White."

"Hee hee, Daddy is the best!" The daughter smiled and hugged Du Shaoqing's neck and kissed him.

But after coming to the tailor shop, Du Shaoqing was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that silk is so expensive in this world?Just a set of silk clothes for children needs a tael of silver?This is still the discounted price given by the shopkeeper without the manual cost.

Looking at the dry and rough clothes on his daughter, Du Shaoqing gritted his teeth, paid a deposit, drew a picture, and agreed to pick up the goods in half a month. Du Shaoqing walked out with the child on his back. He said firmly in his heart, it seems that he must find a way to make a lot of money.

After paying the deposit, Du Shaoqing had no money in his pocket, so he had to take the children to find the third uncle who had done a good job. The third uncle had already negotiated with the grain shop for long-term supply, but this year there was a drought in Hebei, and the price of grain fell again. Up.

Even those who went shopping with errands, it was getting dark, because it was not safe to take the children to walk at night, so the third uncle decided to stay here for one night before leaving for home tomorrow.

They didn't know that something happened at Yunlai Inn at home that night.

The next morning, when everyone came back, there was no steamed bun stand at the door, and the third aunt and Du Shaoming sat in the kitchen dejectedly without saying a word.

Yunlai Inn is a big mansion with two entrances. The front is the dining place in the lobby. After entering the lobby, the first entrance is the guest room area. There are five guest rooms on each side. Pass through this area and pass through a door, which is the second entrance. This is the shopkeeper's inner house, which is a private house.

When they came back, they happened to run into Boss Hu, a resident who was also going out to do some errands.

"Business Manager Du, there was a rat noise in your kitchen. It was very noisy last night. I was woken up when I was sleeping soundly. You have to take care of this, or you can transfer me to another room. Stay away from the kitchen."

"Ah? There is such a thing? All right, don't worry, it must be resolved." Du Shaoqing came to the kitchen while speaking, good guy, the place where you can see is a mess, how can this be a rat?This is clearly a burglar!

Seeing the three of them coming back, the third aunt said sadly: "Da Lang, we were attacked by thieves last night, and the noodles for steaming buns were stolen. Needless to say, it must be Huang Shengcai who did it. He just can't see that our business is doing well." ,This is how to do?"

"Brother, let's report to the officials." Du Shaoming said.

Before Du Shaoqing could speak, the third uncle had already spoken: "Without evidence, even if you report to the officials, you may not find anyone. Besides, why did Huang Shengcai dare to run amok in Luoxia Town? It's because his brother-in-law is a county official. Cheng, reporting to officials is useless at all."

"Then what should we do? How will we do business today without an interview?" The third aunt was in a hurry.

"It's okay, third aunt, it's just a bunch of old noodles, I'll just make another one." Du Shaoqing comforted.

The third uncle said worriedly: "What I am most worried about now is that if the face primer is stolen, then the other party can also make steamed buns. In this way, this business will be difficult to do."

Du Shaoqing smiled and said: "Don't worry, this is a secret recipe, there is no corresponding process, even if you get old noodles to make noodles, you can't make steamed buns, and it's useless for Huang Shengcai to steal it. I don't believe that he can come to me again to steal the recipe." Can't learn art?"

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, there was a shout from outside the inn lobby, and it could be heard from the tone that he was here to find fault, "Is shopkeeper Du here? Why didn't you open the stall today? Is this business not going to be done? "

"It's Huang Shengcai? Huh, let's go, I'll kill this guy with a knife!" The third uncle was furious, and turned around to get a kitchen knife.

Du Shaoqing hurriedly stopped him, "Let's go and see, you must not kill anyone, I don't know what kind of tricks this Huang is playing."

"Shopkeeper Huang? I don't know why you are here?" Everyone came to the front, and Du Shaoqing greeted them.

"It's nothing, I just heard that Du's steamed buns are not available today, so I came to have a look and let the customers around me know that my restaurant also has steamed buns. If you can't buy them here, you can go to my restaurant to have a look." .”

What? ? ?It really is you?The third uncle and the others were furious, and Huang Shengcai laughed loudly, "Is it because you stole it because you know how to make steamed buns? If so, I can also suspect that your Du family stole the secret recipe of my restaurant?"

There were many people watching around, and Du Shaoqing didn't want to start a lawsuit with the person opposite, "Shopkeeper Huang, do you really have steamed buns at home? If you can make steamed buns just by taking one of my dough, that's not a secret recipe. "

"Of course it's true. Didn't I come to invite customers from the town to buy from my house? How dare I show it without steamed buns?" Huang Shengcai was very proud. Many people around him had already guessed something, and many expressed their dissatisfaction with Huang. The steamed buns at home are very curious, and I am going to have a look.

Just at this time, a clerk from Shengcai Restaurant ran over quickly.

"Shopkeeper, it's not good, steamed buns, steamed buns are out of the pot!"

Um?This Shengcai restaurant really has steamed buns?The people around were very curious, Huang Shengcai scolded the waiter: "You bastard, you can't even announce the good news. Isn't it a good thing that the steamed buns are out of the pan? What's wrong with shouting?"

The man ran out of breath, "No, the shopkeeper's steamed buns, the steamed buns are bad, not the same as Du's."

You Huang Shengcai really want to kick this guy to death, why are you yelling at such things?Afraid the customers in town won't hear you? "Go, come back with me! A bunch of trash!"

Seeing the two retreat in despair, the people around burst into laughter. Is Huang Shengcai here to make a joke?Du Shaoqing heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Sure enough, if you don't know the specific steps, you can't make steamed buns. This Huang Shengcai is too impatient. If the steamed buns came to solicit business without raising the pot, it would be strange if they didn't get slapped in the face!

Just as Du Shaoqing expected, when Huang Shengcai handed the old noodles to the cook in the morning, he said that it was used to make steamed buns, and asked them to use this to study how to make steamed buns, but the cook was inexperienced and directly used the old noodles as ingredients Re-knead the dough and use it as a thick noodle cake. Put the dough one by one directly on the steamer and steam it. When you take it out, you can see that it is black and hard and full of honeycombs.

Huang Shengcai was furious, and the secret he hired someone to get for a tael of silver, was it just for naught?

"A bunch of trash, who can't even make a steamed bun to eat, what use is it for me to support you?"

"Shopkeeper, Mr. Tian from the town has come to visit you." A clerk came to report.

"Oh? Master Tian? Haha, here you come to send me a deal. Now I can get the Yunlai Inn. Come and meet me." After speaking, Huang Shengcai did not forget to turn around and scold the cook. Said: "Let me think carefully about how steamed buns are made. If you can't do it, I will fire you carefully."

Chapter 8 Misunderstandings

Quickly walked out of the back hall, and came to the front hall of the restaurant, Huang Shengcai greeted him with a smile: "Oh, Mr. Tian is here, Mr. Huang is not far away to welcome you, hurry up and invite you inside."

"Don't bother shopkeeper Huang, I just have a small matter, and I'll leave when I'm done." Master Tian declined, then stretched his hand into his bosom, took out an ingot of five taels of silver, and put it on the counter of the restaurant.

The smile on Huang Shengcai's face froze, and he had a bad feeling in his heart, "Here, Master Tian, ​​what is this?"

"I'm sorry, Shopkeeper Huang, this is your deposit of five taels of silver, and now I will return it in full. As for the house in Yunlai Inn, I have already sublet it to someone else, so I can't rent it to you. I hope it will be returned to you." You Haihan."

What? ? ?

"Master Tian, ​​how can you do this? Didn't we all agree? I have already paid you the deposit, and besides, Huang thinks you have no reason to refuse. I have given more than the Du family." Huang Shengcai was in a hurry.

Master Tian nodded: "Shopkeeper Huang is right. I agreed to you at first, but later the Du family returned the money and raised the rent with me, so I reluctantly rented it to the other party."

"That's impossible. The Du family is so poor that they are selling their sons and daughters. How can they have money to pay the rent? How much rent do they give you? I'll pay you twice as much."

Huang Shengcai shouted, but Master Tian's words made him dumbfounded, "The other party will give me ten taels of silver a year, unless you are willing to rent it for 20 taels a year."

Gritting his teeth, Huang Shengcai was finally not confused, 20 taels? I can buy an inn with 20 taels, isn't that a big mistake?

"If there is nothing else, the old man will leave."

"Man, see off the guest for me."

Huang Shengcai looked at Master Tian's back with resentment, and cursed in his heart, old guy, even you have become a fool?Seeing that the Du family is making money, you will run on me, right?Just wait, sooner or later I will clean up with you.

"Come on, drag the cook to the backyard for a beating, teach me a lesson, and go to the town to ask the thief Xiaosi to come again." Huang Shengcai ordered angrily.

But then I remembered something, stopped my subordinates again, stopped calling that thief Xiao Si, and wouldn't know how to use the secret noodle dough I stole, so what's the point of stealing it?

"It seems that I want to go out and meet this bookworm in person for a while. How come it's only been a few days, and it's suddenly become so popular?"
