Blissful Days After Widowhood Chapter 31: The house is full of gold and jade
Walking to the door of Ningxi's house, the servant told An Mingyue: "Miss, this is the place." And the strong aroma came from this house, and An Mingyue swallowed it involuntarily. With saliva, he ordered: "Smash the door."
This guy has seen the tragic situation after the gang of black-clothed men were beaten by a cane for a hundred times last time. How dare they make a fool of themselves? They stepped forward and politely knocked on the door.
Meng Shuangshuang came out to open the door. When she saw An Mingyue, she immediately changed her face and said vigilantly, "What are you doing here?"
An Mingyue rolled her eyes at her: "Don't you have eyes to see? Here comes the money."
Meng Shuangshuang snorted and turned around to let them in: "For the sake of money, I don't care about you."
An Mingyue stood carelessly in the yard, looked up slantingly at the roof in front, and said, "Hey, who, it's me who smashed your restaurant last time, I'll pay you two thousand taels of silver. ."
Ning Xi just thought it was funny, but thinking about her, an eldest lady who has never bowed her head in front of people, it would be a good thing to be willing to apologize, so she didn't care about her attitude and replied directly, "Okay. , keep the money, you can go."
An Mingyue turned her head and wanted to leave, but the aroma made her unable to take a step: "Miss I'm hungry, what are you cooking in the kitchen, I bought it."
Ning Xi said: "Miss An, what I cook in the kitchen is a famous dish - gold and jade, and the ingredients are not cheap!" Meng Shuangshuang laughed when she heard that, the radish and beef brisket was so cooked Golden yellow, coupled with snow-white door nail meat patties, isn't it full of gold and jade?
"Stop talking nonsense, just talk about how much it costs." An Mingyue said impatiently.
"One hundred and two servings." Ning Xi spoke unceremoniously.
"What? Why don't you go grab it?" An Mingyue said angrily.
"Then Miss An, please come back, I didn't intend to sell this dish when I made it." Ning Xi reached out to see off the guests.
An Mingyue stomped her foot and went out of her way: "I just want to eat your dish, but I don't have that much money now. If you have any other conditions, feel free to put it up." Said, it's really not a big number. In the past, she often went to Quanjufu for dinner. Those hundred and eighty-two dishes were not ordered as much as she wanted, but now her father wants to rectify her. First of all, the pocket money is this one. I broke it first, and now she and the maid by her side don't add up to more than 12 taels of silver.
Ning Xi actually doesn't want to be too stiff with her. If this little evil star is in a hurry, if she opens a new restaurant and makes trouble again, it will be annoying, so she uses this step to go down: "Well, Miss An, please take a seat first."
Turn her head and whisper to Meng Shuangshuang to put some radish brisket and door nail meat patties out. Meng Shuangshuang is not happy: "Ningxi, why do you want to give it to her!"
Ningxi patted her head: "Shuangshuang, listen to me, ah!"
When the thing came up, An Mingyue couldn't help but lift up her chopsticks. First, she ate a piece of braised radish: "Well, not bad, it's really tasty." Then I took a piece of beef brisket, and I just felt that the taste was smooth and delicious. It is both muscular and not toothless, and the taste is even more fragrant, "It's so delicious, what kind of meat is this!"
Ning Xi replied, "Beef."
"What, can you eat this thing?" In Miss An's mind, beef, a vulgar food, is eaten by those burly men who work hard. Although it is not delicious, it is very full. !
Meng Shuangshuang gestured to take the plate away: "Miss An is a noble person, so she naturally despises these lowly things, I think I should take it away!"
An Mingyue hurriedly reached out to stop her: "No, I still want to eat it!" After eating a whole bowl of radish brisket, and several doornail meat patties, he sighed and put down his chopsticks: " I didn't expect you to have such skills, it's a pity not to open a restaurant."
Ningxi is angry, if it weren't for you, my restaurant would be doing well!
"Ms. An, if I tell you that I have nothing to do with Prince Qi, he will definitely not come to our restaurant because he likes me, but because he likes our restaurant's food, do you believe it? "
In the past, An Mingyue would never believe it. What is the status of the Prince of Qi? She would be attracted by some local delicacies, but after having eaten Ningxi's meal, she already believed it a little, the dishes made by this person are indeed delicious!
"What you said is true? You have nothing to do with it?"
Ning Xi raised his right hand to his ear: "I swear, I really have nothing to do with Prince Qi." After saying this, Ning Xi suddenly thought that if others knew that Prince Qi was not his backer , wouldn't there be no scruples at all when there was trouble in the future? It's not every time I can meet such a fair and just good official as Lord Huang, so I thought about it and added, "Actually, the real backer behind me is the fifth master."
It seems that Fifth Master Jun's background is bigger than that of the Prince of Qi. I'll use his name first, as long as he can scare people, no one should have the courage to ask Fifth Master Jun. !
"Oh, so it is." An Mingyue also heard about the fifth prince's support for Ningxi, so she was convinced of her words, but she was still a little worried, "Prince Qi is suave and suave. If you appear in front of you, there is no guarantee that you will not be tempted."
Ning Xi hurriedly said: "No way, although in Miss An's mind, Prince Qi is the best, but not everyone thinks that way, in fact, I already have a sweetheart. ."
An Mingyue thinks about it, is the person better than Prince Qi...
"You like... five..."
"That's right!" Ning Xi went out of his way, "I just like Fifth Master Jun, so I will never be tempted by Prince Qi, so Miss An can rest assured."
"That's it!" An Mingyue looked at Ning Xi with sympathy, "But with his identity, a person like you, let alone marrying him, it might not be easy to even enter the house as a concubine. Yes!"
Ning Xi also sighed: "Hey, this man's heart, it's not up to you to do what you want, in fact, I don't have any wishful thinking, as long as I can see him occasionally and know that he is fine , I am satisfied."
When An Mingyue landed, she felt a sense of pity for each other. In fact, everyone is a hard-working woman who is infatuated with a person but can't get a response: "I misunderstood you before, I'm really sorry, don't worry, you can open the door in the future. The restaurant, I am covered by An Mingyue, who dares to make trouble with you, I will be the first to let him go!"
Ning Xi thought, as long as your aunt doesn't come to cause trouble, I'll be thankful, and I still have to say politely: "That's great, with Miss An's words, my heart is much more at ease. "
"If I have nothing to do, I'll leave first, and I'll join you when your restaurant opens." An Mingyue beckoned and left with her gang of servants.
After Ningxi and the others were full, they packed up and set up a stall at the night market.
This night's business was also very good. Those who didn't eat Taiping Yan the day before naturally rushed over early, for fear that they wouldn't be able to get in again tonight, and those who had eaten couldn't give up the taste, and wanted to eat it again. No one thinks that the price of a bowl of ten cents is too expensive. Even if it is twice as expensive, it is worth it.
When I arrived at Ningxi's stall, I learned that there were two more delicacies. Everyone was even more happy, and they took out their money one after another. Once they had eaten, they were reluctant to leave. Ning Xi also limited each person to only buy one, and the people in front of them could not wait to eat until the end of the day.
It wasn't until everything on the stall was sold out, and not even a drop of soup was left, that Ning Xi clasped his fists and said to everyone, "Ning Xi and her sister went to the capital to seek a living, it all depends on your support, Ning Xi is here. Thank you so much, but unfortunately there is a feast in the world, tonight is the last time our sisters will set up stalls here."
Ning Xi didn't finish his words, and he started to make a fuss: "No, why don't you set up a stall when it's good?" These people have just become addicted to eating, and it's gone. Too boring, right? "What's the matter? Girl, did you encounter any difficulties? Tell everyone!" "Could it be that you have a better place?"
Ning Xi patiently waited for everyone's emotions to calm down and the chatter had subsided before he said: "Our sisters open a restaurant on Zhengyang Street, the name is Shuangxi Restaurant, and I would like to invite everyone to join us at that time. Ah!"
It turns out that there is still something to eat, so everyone can rest assured. Although the food in the restaurant will definitely be much more expensive than this night market, but after tasting Ningxi's craftsmanship, everyone knows that even if you save money for a few months It's worth eating a meal, it's a good cooking skill that you can show off to your grandson in the future! So everyone said that if Ning Xi could do it with confidence, everyone would definitely support her.
Ningxi went to Rong Daquan the next day and discussed with him about the renovation of the restaurant. Rong Daquan had just found a job as a chef in another big restaurant. Today, it was originally planned to be the first day of work. In those days, as soon as I heard that Ning Xi was going to reopen the restaurant, he immediately quit the new job, patted his chest and said to Ning Xi, "Your elder brother, I will follow you from now on."
Ningxi is new to Ningxi. Looking for craftsmen, they still have to go to the top of the field. Ningxi said that now they have money on hand, and repairing restaurants should not be cheap. The most important craftsman's skills are better. Lou is going to take the tall route this time.
Rong Daquan didn't spend much effort, just found one or two, and someone came to the door on their own initiative. It was actually introduced by the fifth prince. When he heard the price offered by the other party, he was even more overjoyed, and hurriedly took the man to see Ning Xi.
