When Li Mofu woke up early in the morning, it was drizzling outside the window. A little cool breeze drifted in through the window. Li Mofu yawned and sat up to look at the cat bed at the foot of the bed. The two cats were still in the bed. They huddled together and opened their eyes to see that Li Mofu did not come out to play. Maybe they also like to sleep on rainy days.
So Li Mofu lay down again and continued to sleep. He certainly couldn't neglect himself in such good weather.
Of course, not everyone can enjoy the tranquility and peace of a rainy morning like Li Mofu. Meanwhile, Lu Mingyun, already dressed and sitting in the hall, was preparing for dinner. Seeing Li Mofu still not showing up, he asked, "Is Li Mofu up yet?"
Mo Zhu nodded, "Mr. Li is still sleeping, young master, please eat first, you still have to go on duty soon."
Lu Mingyun's already troubled mood became even worse, not because Li Mofu slept in, but because he had to go on duty without seeing Li Mofu.
...I suddenly didn't want to go on duty anymore. Anyway, no one would say anything to him if I missed a day.
However, despite thinking so, Lu Mingyun still did not "skip class", but obediently got on the carriage with an umbrella and went to the county government office.
This scene was very similar to the modern workers who went to work like oxen and horses. If Li Mofu was there, he would definitely laugh out loud, but unfortunately he had already gone to see Zhou Gong and could not gloat over his misfortune.
Li Mofu slept until 4:15 pm. The rain had stopped by then and the yard was wet. Two naughty kittens left their plum blossom prints on the steps and then played under the eaves.
Li Mofu guessed that the two cats had just woken up and were too excited to run down the yard. When they stepped on the water, they realized something was wrong and ran back under the eaves.
"Really." Li Mofu said as he tried to hug the nearest orange cat. The orange cat jumped twice, arched its body and jumped sideways towards Li Mofu twice, as if it wanted to play with Li Mofu.
Li Mofu first pretended to say "I don't want to play with you", then suddenly pounced to grab the orange cat, which scared the orange cat so much that it ran away and hid behind the house at the corner, then peeked at Li Mofu.
The cat squatted there in a daze, looking at them. Li Mofu took the opportunity to pick up the silly cat, then turned around and walked towards the hall without paying any attention to the orange cat. After a few steps, the orange cat caught up with him and pounced on him to hug his legs. The pads of its paws felt cold.
"Let's go, let's go eat. The weather is nice today, I have to go to the store to take a look. Do you want to go with me?" Li Mofu said to himself, "Okay, then I'll take you with me!"
The orange cat only heard the two words "eat", and it had a deep impression of these two words, so it responded to Li Mofu with a "ah".
After breakfast, Li Mofu put the two cats in a backpack and went out with Guozi and Mo Yi.
He hasn't been to the store for a few days. Although business has been bad these days, he has to go and see how much money he has earned, right?
There were not many people in the store because it had just rained. Jixiang was sweeping the floor, Yueyue was wiping the table, and Lao Tan was nowhere to be seen, so he must be in the kitchen, while the shopkeeper was using an abacus behind the counter.
Li Mofu didn't know how to use an abacus. In his time, people were used to using calculators, and even if he had learned it as a child, he had forgotten it.
"Master, are you here?" The shopkeeper greeted him politely with a smile. "Master, please take a seat. Yueyue, bring me a pot of tea!"
Yueyue responded and went to the kitchen.
"How are you doing recently?" Li Mofu asked as he sat down.
"Business has been slow recently, so I've reduced my purchases," said the shopkeeper.
Li Mofu understood, "That's normal. Just do your thing. Let me check the account book."
"it is good."
So Li Mofu began to mutter and calculate. In addition to the money he paid for buying the store and the wine, he also left one hundred taels of silver for the store's expenses.
Their shop mainly sells some dishes, tea and wine. There is no vocal service, no expensive snacks, and no erotic transactions, so it can be said that it is just a small business, and one hundred taels of silver is definitely enough.
After deducting the cost of food and labor, he still made a profit. After all, even the bowls and pots in this restaurant were made with Lu Mingyun's money.
But this is still a long way from earning back the money I spent on buying the store.
Just as Li Mo was leaning over the counter with a sad face, a customer came into the store. Yueyue and Jixiang went forward to greet him.
The person who came in was a regular customer, Lin Murong, the third son of the Lin family, and the little boy he brought with him. Li Mofu looked up and was stunned when he saw him. He thought that Lin San would never come to their restaurant to eat again.
After all, Lu Mingyun had brought so many people to someone's house to search for things, and even made Mrs. Lin sick with anger.
They had originally rented the Lin family's yard and had accepted the favor, but when they came to search, they didn't give them any face at all. The Lin family might not dare to drive them out due to their power, but they certainly didn't want to eat in his restaurant again.
Li Mofu looked at Lin San and was a little confused. Could it be that his dishes were so attractive to Lin San?
"Mr. Li," Lin San suddenly smiled and looked at Li Mofu and said, "Would you be so kind as to have a meal with me?"
Li Mofu looked at Mo Yi. Mo Yi nodded before he stood up and said, "Let's go to the private room upstairs?"
"Anything is OK."
Arriving at the private room, Mo Yi and Guo Zi did not leave. Lin Murong did not let the child leave either. She just smiled and said, "Because my grandmother was ill, I was unable to come and thank Lord Lu. Now that my grandmother has recovered, I thought I would visit Lord Lu today. I didn't expect Lord Lu to be away from the county government office, so I decided to come and see Master Li first."
Li Mo was embarrassed, "He's not in the county government office?"
"Yes, I heard that he went to the countryside." Lin Murong said.
Li Mofu scratched his face and said in disbelief, "You really should thank him. I thought you would hold a grudge against him."
Lin Murong was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not one of those people who don't understand reason. This matter involves two murders, and it involves the evil practice of bloodletting to make medicine... Grandmother is also confused. She actually wanted to keep it secret for my sake."
"...Is your grandmother really okay?" Li Mofu asked.
"It's okay. She got sick because she was angry and panicked. She will be fine after a few days of rest." Lin Murong said.
