Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times
Chapter 253 Peeping
Du Wenxiu and Yue Niang checked the accounts of the previous few days. Many people ate on the first day and then called their friends to come on the next two days.
It seems that the taste of the dishes can all be tailored to your taste.
Moreover, Du Wenxiu also set up employee incentive awards, so that even if he earned money himself, he would let others have a taste of the benefits.
As a result, everyone from the shopkeeper to the waiter and the kitchen staff worked hard, hoping that the boss would make money so that they could also benefit from it.
These days, I was originally planning to make money just to protect my capital, but now after counting, I have actually made a small profit.
Du Wenxiu couldn't help but feel complacent. The new stir-fried dishes and even the stews he had prepared were all made with spices from the Western Regions, so the taste was very different.
As long as you lay a solid foundation at the beginning, you won't have to worry about doing badly in the future.
However, she also took precautions. She only taught Master Zou how to cook, and then he picked two or three other masters with reliable character to teach her. After signing the contract, she had nothing to worry about.
Stews are even simpler. Just wrap the spices in cloth and put them directly into the pot to stew.
Even if someone were determined to take them apart and learn how to make them, it would still take some effort just to find all the spices.
We also selected a special dish every day so that ordinary people can afford it.
"Keep hiring people, prepare more lunch boxes, and start the takeout business." Du Wenxiu was in high spirits, but Yue Niang looked sleepy.
"Just do as you say. I'm really sleepy."
Du Wenxiu looked at her, her eyelids drooping, her head nodding, as if she would fall asleep on the table the next moment.
Du Wenxiu pursed her lips and smiled, pushing her: "Go back and go to sleep, I am enough here, there is no need for you to come here every day."
Yue Niang uttered some random "mmm" sounds, then stood up and walked out.
Although she was supported by a maid, Du Wenxiu was still a little worried, so he followed her out the door and only stopped after sending her home.
When she came back, Du Wenxiu politely declined the car arranged by the Chi family's housekeeper, thinking of taking a walk back while thinking about how to arrange Erlang's affairs.
Why did Lu Fanghai go to the Emperor's residence when he was still Prince Ning? Has there been another change in the capital?
Has the struggle between the King of England and the Emperor reached a fever pitch?
The street was crowded with people. They just needed to turn a corner to reach their home. Du Wenxiu had something on his mind, so his pace inevitably slowed down.
From the corner of my eye, I saw someone leaning over a tree outside my yard, looking inside.
Du Wenxiu stopped and stood on the street corner looking at him for a while. After looking for a long time, he felt that he looked familiar.
Isn't this the ferocious-looking man who was lingering at the door of her house when she left?
As the saying goes, you're not afraid of thieves stealing, you're afraid of thieves thinking about it. Now, there's such a vicious thief thinking about my home, I'm afraid I can't sleep well at night.
This matter should be dealt with as soon as possible. Du Wenxiu went out alone today and did not bring anyone with him.
If I wanted to go home and call for help, I was afraid of alerting the enemy.
He has been staring at him for half a day without moving. Maybe he wants to find out more about his family's situation before leaving.
Not daring to delay any longer, Du Wenxiu turned around and walked quickly towards the county government office.
When he turned around not long after, he was followed by several yamen runners, and the leader was Wu Xiaoliu.
Wu Xiaoliu is now also the head of the police squad, in charge of more than ten people.
When Du Wenxiu went there, he didn't see Zhong Muqing at all. He just talked to Wu Xiaoliu and he brought his men with him.
When I got to the door of my house, I saw that the man was still squatting on the tree.
But he changed from standing on top with his head tilted to looking inside to lying on the tree branch to rest, and occasionally getting up to take a look.
Wu Xiaoliu waved his hand, and several nimble men rushed up. Two of them climbed up the tree and pulled the man down.
"Hey, why are you arresting me? What for? Let me go!" The man was a little panicked, but not to the point of being at a loss.
Wu Xiaoliu shouted sternly, "What's your purpose in spying on people's houses in broad daylight? Come back to the county office with me and report to the county magistrate, and have him thrown into jail."
"Why are you arresting me? This is my own home. My wife is still inside. Do you think my wife is breaking the law?"
The ten men were rampant, shouting as they struggled to break free from the grip of the yamen runners.
"Bullshit." Du Wenxiu came out and spat, cursing, "Where did this lecher come from? How dare you throw dirty water on my family."
He bowed to Wu Xiaoliu again and said:
"Brother Wu knows the situation of my family. I would like to ask Brother Wu to arrest this guy and put him in jail to prevent him from making up stories outside and ruining my family's reputation."
Wu Xiaoliu nodded, ordered his men to gag him, and locked him up in the government jail.
Du Wenxiu returned home and called Xu Ada to tell him about this matter.
He also gave him some silver and asked him to go to the government office to find Wu Xiaoliu and get to the bottom of the matter.
If necessary, I can even have more money, I just hope we can have peace in the future.
Du Wenxiu stared at Xu Ada until he was sweating all over, and then nodded in agreement.
Du Wenxiu returned to the backyard and saw Qi Sanniang walking around the yard holding Haisheng, but she looked a little absent-minded.
A Luo led Cheng Xiaomei and Yuan Xi to prepare the food, and Cheng Xiaomei took it to the front yard to deliver it to Erlang.
When Du Wenxiu saw this, he became concerned about Erlang's condition and followed her, asking about Erlang's condition along the way.
"Auntie A Luo rubbed him for a long time today, and mother also brought medicine. I boiled it for him to drink, and he felt much better."
Taking care of patients is a very tiring job. After just one day, Cheng Xiaomei already looked exhausted.
"If you feel tired, ask Qiuyue to help you." Du Wenxiu instructed.
Sister Cheng smiled and shook her head, looking at the guest house a few steps ahead, and said softly:
"I'm not tired. If I do more, Mom will be less tired. Sister Qiuyue can't do some of the things related to boiling medicine well."
Du Wenxiu sighed inwardly, what a wonderful child! It is said that a daughter is a mother's little cotton-padded jacket, and Cheng Suying's little cotton-padded jacket is really warm enough.
Erlang's fever had subsided a lot, and he was at least no longer confused. When he saw her coming, he struggled to remember to greet her.
Du Wenxiu hurriedly stopped him. A light was turned on in the dim bedroom. The flickering light made Erlang look even worse.
"Brother Erlang, take the medicine first and then have your meal." Cheng Xiaomei said in a cute voice and went forward to help him.
Du Wenxiu asked a few more questions about his health today. Erlang answered them one by one, took the medicine, and sat down to eat.
There were a lot of dishes prepared today, but my little sister picked out the light and oily ones and gave him two of them, along with some light porridge. Even though he had no appetite, he finished them all.
After dinner, Cheng Xiaomei helped him lie down on the bed: "Brother Erlang is still a patient, he needs to rest more."
After he lay down, the two left.
After returning to the house, Du Wenxiu told Lu Erniang about the suspicious behavior of the person who peeped outside the wall today, and Lu Erniang couldn't help but become nervous.
"That won't work. Maybe the other party has already set their sights on your home. We need to hide Erlang somewhere safe to ensure his safety."
Du Wenxiu was a little nervous: "Since they are targeting us, wouldn't it be easier to be discovered if we move away?"
