"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Ling'er sighed, "Brother Baili, your fifth uncle is not easy to get along with."
"Huh? Hmm." Baili wiped the sweat from his forehead, convinced.
"But it doesn't really matter. I'm afraid it will be bad if your father-in-law is not easy to get along with in the future." It turned out that Ling'er came here to take pleasure in his misfortune.
"Ling'er, what did you talk about after we left the night before yesterday?" Baili was actually quite curious, because he felt that the fifth uncle seemed to be a different person after he came back.
When asked about Li Tanhua, he didn't say anything. When asked about Ouyang Cui, he didn't say anything. Grandmaster Li Xuanming didn't dare to ask, so he could only ask Ling'er.
It's really strange why Ling'er can stay?
"Why are you interrogating me? Do you want me to kneel down in your lobby and tell you?" Ling'er said with a smile.
"If you don't want to say anything, forget it. Why don't you try to push me?" Baili said angrily.
"It's not that I don't want to say it, it's that I can't say it, but this matter has nothing to do with you and Sister Jianjia, so you can rest assured." Ling'er said.
"What am I worried about..." Baili was relieved now, "It's time for you to go back, right? It's going to snow in two days and the road will be difficult to walk on."
"Then you don't want to have a drink anymore?" Ling'er asked.
"What kind of wine are you having?" Baili was stunned.
"Wedding wine, if you get married to Sister Jianjia in the next two days, then I will drink your wedding wine before leaving." Ling'er said.
"You're just talking nonsense, what's the big deal!" Baili blushed.
"But having said that, Brother Baili, I made a bet with Kunlun. The bet is so big, one hundred taels of gold! I placed the bet on you. If you cause me to lose, you have to pay for the gold!"
"Ling'er said.
"What bet?" Baili was surprised. What does your bet with Tie Kunlun have to do with me?
"I bet you and Sister Jianjia will get married first, or my god-sister and Li Tanhua will get married first!" Ling'er said with a smile.
"You!" Baili was speechless.
Ling'er couldn't wait to attend Baili's wedding, but she attended the opening ceremony of Su Jianjia Wonton Shop.
It was said to be an opening ceremony. In fact, father and daughter Qiu Changqing and Su Jianjia treated everyone to a meal of fish-filled wontons. The big carp in Xuanming Lake was fat and delicious, and its taste was not inferior to the sea fish in Shunfeng City, and it had a unique flavor.
"I, Li Hanwen, have never eaten wontons stuffed with fish meat in my life. I have always been worried about the thorns. It's not bad after eating it for a long time. Is it really made of fish meat?" Li Hanwen ate it sweetly and sighed in admiration.
"Master Li, you don't know. This stuffing is made from the belly parts of big carps, which don't have any thorns." Su Jianjia explained, "It's easier to use sea fish, but the taste is always the same."
The lake fish is so delicious.”
"What about the remaining fish and meat? Shouldn't we throw away all the fish?" Sister-in-law Chen felt that it was too extravagant.
"Then how could it be? The fish head is used to make soup, and the other parts are cut into small pieces to make smoked fish, minced fish, or directly wrapped in some flour and fried to eat. I don't have time to do it today. I will do it tomorrow.
I'll give it to my sister-in-law to try. If it's good, I'll also sell these in our shop from now on," Su Jianjia said.
"Then the relationship is good." Sister-in-law Chen said, "Sister, your shop will definitely become popular in the future. I think you and your daughter will definitely be too busy. Why don't I come to help? Although I am rough and rough, I can't light the fire and wash the dishes.
I can still do it, just give me a few cents a month and it will be fine."
"How can this be done?" Su Jianjia said with a smile, "Sister-in-law Chen, you are a serious inspection lady, how can you do this job?"
"What a bastard, madam!" Sister-in-law Chen said, "I am your brother Chen's servant! I am worse than a servant. Being a servant means you get some rewards during the holidays. I have nothing this whole year, and I can't complain at all.
Who asked other men to make money to support the family? I can't fart loudly. Now that I am making money, the voices at home are louder."
"Hahaha, boss, Mrs. Chen is telling you this. Mrs. Chen not only takes care of Mr. Chen Ping, but also takes care of our meals. There are people in the Yamen who welcome and deliver people.
Sister-in-law Chen helps in the kitchen, but she has never given her a penny in salary over the years!" Wu Haishan said with a smile.
"Ah ha! After all, you are the one who makes the abacus, Haishan, you know what I mean!" Sister-in-law Chen was happy, "I have told him so many times, but he just didn't dare to tell us, if it was the case before
, we don’t compete with this, but don’t we have money now? You Wu Haishan collects money every day... Oh, why are you kicking me?"
"Kick you? I'm still waiting to hit you!" Chen Ping said angrily, "Even eating wontons can't stop your stupid mouth!"
"Sister-in-law Chen is right. This is not your responsibility. All these years of hard work cannot be in vain. When you come back to Haishan, you can also give some money to Mrs. Chen as a supplement. From now on, you will also pay your salary every month.
I'll deduct it from my salary," Baili said.
"How could this happen!" Chen Ping's face turned red.
"My brothers are settling accounts, so what can't be done? Can I, the county magistrate, continue to have free rice? Besides, I can't cook, and eating out is expensive, so I can't hire someone from outside, right? So if it's fine,
If we want to settle the accounts, it would be more cost-effective to trouble Mrs. Chen." Baili said with a smile.
"How is it enough to hire one person? Just to serve tea and pour water, wash and tidy up the house, that's not enough for three or two people? Do shopping, light fires and boil water, wash basins and dishes, wash vegetables and rice, these are not enough
Do you need one or two people? Now I take care of everything, but I only charge you, boss, a share of the money. Isn’t this a good deal?"
Sister-in-law Chen readily agreed and made sense.
"Hahaha, why do you have to tell me, Mrs. Chen, about this little scheme of mine?" Baili laughed.
"I have such a temper. I say whatever I think in my mind. Boss, you think the same thing is true, right? This is a matter of two good things and one good thing, but Chen Ping is also very stubborn and can't figure it out.
! I have to use my own tricks and insinuations." Sister-in-law Chen was extremely proud.
"Sister-in-law Chen is really clever and clever." Ling'er praised.
"I don't dare to take it for granted that it's a miraculous calculation. But sometimes I guess things, so I'm pretty good at it." Sister-in-law Chen said.
Everyone laughed together, and even Qiu Changqing, who was worried, couldn't help but smile.
After eating and drinking, everyone dispersed. Qiu Changqing left Ling'er and Baili to drink tea. The tea was green brick tea, bitter and astringent, but it quenched greasiness and thirst.
"Fifth Senior Uncle, aren't you and Jian Jia leaving now?" Baili felt uneasy when he saw Qiu Changqing's dark face.
"Are you trying to drive us away?" Qiu Changqing frowned.
"That's good, that's good." Baili breathed a sigh of relief.
"Take this." Qiu Changqing took out the Xuanming Sword Manual from his arms and handed it to Baili.
"What is this?" Baili was stunned.
"Kneel down and accept." Qiu Changqing said calmly.
"Yes!" Baili was startled and hurriedly knelt down and took the sword manual with both hands. He thought to himself, what is this for? Fifth Master Uncle?
Why does it feel like some kind of solemn ceremony...
