Blissful Days After Widowhood Chapter 27: Start all over again


An Mingyue glared at Ning Xi angrily: "Wait for me!" With a flick of the whip, she turned and left angrily.

Meng Shuangshuang looked at the mess on the ground, wanting to cry without tears: "Ningxi, what can I do!" The guys in the restaurant also looked at each other in dismay. Now that the restaurant is afraid that it can't go on, they have to think about it as soon as possible. Just the way back.

Rong Daquan saw that Ning Xi had been standing there dumbfounded, not moving or speaking, afraid that she would not be able to take this blow, so he walked over and patted her on the shoulder, but he didn't know what to say, An Mingyue used to be I also often go to Quan Jufu. Although I know she has an unruly character, I really didn’t expect her to be so cruel. Totally ruined.

Unexpectedly, Ningxi smiled at him instead: "I'm so sorry, Brother Rong, I'm the one who got you involved. You could have been a good chef in Quanjufu."

"Cough, what are you talking about? You didn't force me to come here with a knife. Besides, I haven't gained anything in the past few days, haven't I learned a few dishes from you? "

"I'm afraid this restaurant won't be able to open for a while, what are your plans, Brother Rong?"

"Don't be ashamed, I can still have a good reputation in this capital. As long as I have cooking skills, I can't find work wherever I go? It's you, I'm going to cook What? What's the use of my honor, just say it."

Ning Xi said with a smile: "As you said, Brother Rong, if you have skills in your hands, you can't eat anything. Don't worry, I will definitely be able to make a comeback. Brother Rong, are you still willing to help me? "

"That's a must!"

"By the way, Big Brother Rong, do you know the origin of the woman who came to smash my place today?" Ning Xi originally thought that the Prince of Qi entered Shuangxi Tower every day, and others looked at Prince Qi's face, She shouldn't be picking quarrels and provoking trouble, but I didn't expect someone to kill me in just a few days, and listening to her tone, it seems that she has a close relationship with the Prince of Qi?

"This woman is called An Mingyue. Her grandfather assisted the emperor in founding the country and was the pro-appointed Duke An Guogong. Her father was General An who made great military achievements. Her brother is currently stationed in Mobei. You must also be awarded an official title." Rong Daquan explained An Mingyue's family background to Ning Xi in detail.

Ning Xi was taken aback: "So she has a lot of background!"

"It's not too small. The Duke of An Guo's mansion is highly valued by the emperor, and even King Qi should respect them a little bit, and this An Mingyue is very likely to be the future prince concubine of King Qi's mansion. If Princess Qi hadn't felt that An Mingyue was arrogant, I am afraid this marriage has been decided long ago. But regardless of whether the marriage is decided or not, this An Mingyue regards the Prince of Qi as his own. No matter who in the capital expresses his coveted intention to the prince, it is obvious or secret. It's good to be down."

"No, she's so good?"

As if afraid that Ningxi won't believe it, Rong Daquan continued: "A few days ago, Shizi just praised the girl Fengjiao from the Ruyi class who has a good singing voice and a beautiful figure, and the Ruyi class was given to An Mingyue by An Mingyue. The scene was smashed, and the girl Fengjiao was beaten up, pity that delicate and weak girl, who was beaten so badly that she couldn't get out of bed for three days."

"Then the head of the Ruyi class is just like that? Don't report to the official?" No wonder those strong men in black are so skilled in doing odd jobs, so they are used to it.

"What's the use of a newspaper officer? Could it be that Jing Zhaoyin still dares to offend Anguo Gong's mansion? At most, he would just use some servants as a pretense and pay for some soup and medicine, and now Miss Fengjiao is still lying on the hospital bed. , I don't know if I can still sing in the future."

"Then what do you mean, our restaurant was smashed in vain?"

Rong Daquan nodded: "Anyway, you should be prepared for this, and don't have too much hope for the government."

Ning Xi suddenly thought of something and said angrily, "Well, you son of the Prince of Qi, you dare to dig a trap and let me jump down!"

"Ah? What do you mean by that?"

"I just said how could he be so kind to help us, huh, knowing that she has had a close relationship with a woman, An Mingyue would not let that woman go, so she deliberately came to our Sungai Tower every day, The person who brought An Mingyue to make trouble, it's alright now, the money I earned from his family last time is gone, and the restaurant can't be opened, he should be satisfied!" Ning Xi said bitterly.

Rong Daquan carefully thought about Ningxi's inference, combined with the unreasonable selling of the restaurant to Ningxi at a low price by the fifth master and the prince of Qi, and the price was just right for Ningxi to take out all that he had. The money can be afforded, and I couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat: "I really didn't expect that the prince is like this..."

"Insidious and cunning, with a human face and a beast heart!" Before Rong Daquan could think of a suitable adjective, Meng Shuangshuang had already said it for him in a righteous indignation, "Just as the good wine and good food we had a few days ago were all eaten by dogs, in the future Don't let me see him again, otherwise I'll hit him every time."

"Whatever you want to fight, you are so small, you are picked up and thrown out with one finger. Forget it, it's not someone we can afford, let's take a look at what's going on now How to deal with the aftermath!" Ning Xi rolled her eyes at her and said.

Meng Shuangshuang immediately slumped: "Yes, Ning Xi, what shall we do in the future!"

"What are you afraid of? When we first came to the capital, we didn't have anything, didn't we live well? Now there is still a house!" But it's even better than before!

Ning Xi called the guys together, cleared his throat and said, "Guys, I'm really sorry, this restaurant won't be able to open for a while, then you all go to the cashier Mr. Zhang to withdraw three One month's monthly silver, just treat it as the severance pay I give you, everyone will find a way to survive in the future, if my restaurant can still be opened in the future, whoever wants to come back can just come back."

The guys were all stunned. In such a situation, no one expected to get the severance money. Now they can't bear it anymore. If Ning Xi has anything else to do, just tell them to do it.

Ning Xi thought about it, and asked everyone to help clean up the messy garbage in the restaurant first, and the guys immediately started to work neatly.

Ningxi converted the 1,000 taels of silver note that Jun Shaofeng gave her into silver, and handed part of it to the accountant, Mr. Zhang, and asked him to settle all the raw material costs that he owed these days, guys. The severance pay was also distributed in full, and in the end, the three hundred taels of silver that Rong Daquan had invested in Shuangxi Tower was returned to him. Rong Daquan would not accept anything at first, but Ningxi said that if he did not accept it, then Don't expect to learn cooking from her in the future, Rong Daquan has to accept it reluctantly.

After all this was done, Ning Xi looked at the few scattered pieces of silver left in her hand, sighed and said, "Shuangshuang, your beautiful clothes will take some time to buy."

Meng Shuang's eyes were red, hugging Ning Xi and said: "Ning Xi, I don't want anything, as long as you are fine, even if you eat chaff, I am willing to follow you."

"Silly girl, how can I let you eat bran! Come on, tell me what you want to eat, and I'll make it for you."

Fortunately, the lease term of the originally rented house had not yet come, and the landlord had not had time to take it back, so Ning Xi and Meng Shuangshuang moved back to live before making plans.

"Shuangshuang, I have to work hard for you again. Shall we go to the night market to set up a stall?"

"But we already gave Zhou Chunli and Song Tianshun our luwei stall. Do you want to ask them to come back?" Meng Shuangshuang felt that this was a bit unreasonable, not to mention that Ningxi received money from others!

"Fool, can't we sell anything other than lo-mei?"

"Then what are you trying to sell?"

"You see that the weather is getting colder now, so it's time to sell something hot. It's better to have hot soup and hot water, so that people can drink it in a bowl, and the hands and feet will be warm."

"What the **** is that?"

"You'll know when the time comes." Ning Xi sold off, "Come and prepare with me first!"

Ningxi prepared the ingredients, and Meng Shuangshuang went to prepare the things for the booth. Fortunately, the rack was still there, and the stove and the cauldron were also ready-made. Ningxi asked Meng Shuangshuang to buy some more tableware and wash them. Clean them and keep them in a big pot. In addition, they also bring the square table they use to eat. Meng Shuangshuang clenched his fingers and thought about it. When guests come to eat, they must have tables and stools, right?

Ning Xi's face also showed an embarrassed look: "Yes, how can I eat without a table and stool."

"I have an idea! You wait, I'll go out!" Meng Shuangshuang said and jumped out.

Ning Xi shook her head with a smile. This girl looked older than herself, but she was actually a little girl all day long. Take the ingredients you just bought into the kitchen and start preparing.

First, take chicken and duck racks, large pork bones, as well as pork knuckles and pork belly to make a thick milk soup, then chop the fresh fish meat and the lean meat from the pork legs into a puree, shrimp Dried water chestnuts and water chestnuts are finely chopped, mixed together, add an appropriate amount of bone broth, egg liquid, Shaoxing wine and shrimp oil, and stir well with chopsticks.

As soon as this side was ready, Meng Shuangshuang jumped back over there: "Ningxi, I have already agreed with Brother Zeng next door, our guests borrow their stools to sit, and one guest gives them a penny. , do you think this will work?" The Zeng family next door also set up a stall at the night market. They sold noodles, duck blood soup and other food. A dozen or so, five or six members of their family were all busy helping out at the night market.

"Okay, you have a good idea!" Ning Xi praised, it's best to be able to use other people's resources, otherwise the two girls, even if they bought a table and stool, wouldn't be able to move around all day. go!

Meng Shuangshuang ran into the kitchen and saw the materials Ning Xi had prepared: "Are you making wontons or dumplings?"
