Hearing this, Su Yan frowned subconsciously, put down the bowl and said, "I'm going to the academy to take a look. Sister Cui, help me light up the fire. I'll make some honey water and bring it over."
"Madam, please finish your breakfast first. The master will be worried later." Cuilan turned to Zhang Xiu and asked Zhang Xiu to call for a bowl of noodles.
When the master went out today, he told his wife to have dinner.
Although the master didn't say anything harsh, she knew that he was blaming them for not taking good care of his wife.
Knowing that Qin An was coughing, Su Yan had no intention of eating. She took a few bites and then went to the academy with hot water. When they arrived at the academy, their break time had passed, so she stood at the door and waited for three to four quarters of an hour.
The weather has been getting warmer and warmer recently, and the sun is keeping us warm.
When Qin An heard someone say that his wife was here, he immediately put down his brush and ran out, saying in a low voice: "Why are you here?"
Su Yan didn't say anything for the first time. She raised her hand to touch his forehead. She felt relieved when his temperature was normal and asked, "Are you coughing?"
As soon as he heard this, Qin An knew that Sister Cui had probably said something to Zhang Xiu, and reassured her, "I haven't coughed anymore. I coughed after getting cold water in the morning."
"Wash in hot water later."
Su Yan didn't dare to delay him any longer, so she handed him the hot water in her arms and warned: "When the water gets cold, just be patient and come back to drink it."
She was worried and asked again: "You really don't have a cough anymore?"
Qin An bent down slightly and said seriously: "I really don't cough anymore."
Then he took out a tael of silver from his pocket and put it into her hand, and said: "The scribe has been paid now, take it and eat it with what you like."
"You've lost weight." As he spoke, his eyes fell on her pointed chin, and he felt a little complicated.
Even if he copies books, he can't relieve his wife's fatigue.
Su Yan put down the money and followed his words: "Okay, I'll tell you later how many kilograms of ribs I will weigh and stew at home."
She saw other scholars looking this way and whispered, "You go in, I'm leaving."
After watching the woman walk away, Qin An retracted his gaze and walked into the academy. When he met the eyes of others, he paused.
Soon he said in a low voice: "Don't have any ideas about my wife."
Recently, many scholars always come to the door to see Su Yan. Although they look down on their daughter-in-law as a widow, they can't control their eyes.
Here, Su Yan went to Manxiangji to see how the business was going. There were only a few tables of people here, but it was much better than the previous few days, when no one came to eat at this time.
The shopkeeper saw her coming and said politely: "My dear lady, you are here. My boss is in the kitchen right now. He has something to ask you for."
Su Yan turned her head and looked at the sky outside, shook her head and said, "I just stopped by to take a look. I have to go home to cook later. Let's talk when we have time in the afternoon."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mr. Ren came out of the kitchen. Seeing her expression of respect, he said politely: "My dear lady, you have worked hard these days."
"You pay me. I deserve the hard work. When will the money be paid?" Su Yan did not try to get close to him. In business, money is the most reliable thing.
Master Ren naturally understood what she meant and was not angry. After all, she was somewhat capable and it was best not to offend her.
"That's enough for a moment. I have something else I want to tell you in detail. Do you think it will be convenient for you?" Mr. Ren gestured to her to talk to the attic.
"The food at home hasn't been cooked yet, so let's go after noon." Su Yan didn't want to be so busy that she couldn't take care of herself. She was busy to make her home better, not worse.
Qin An said she had lost weight, but he wasn't any better.
The two of them are much more tired now than they were in town. If it hadn't been for that incident, their family would be better off than anyone else.
But the matter has already happened, and she will not blame others, and the couple will face it together.
Thinking of this, she softened her eyebrows and said, "I'm leaving first, I have to go to the market."
Master Ren quickly said: "I've always wanted to treat your family to dinner. It's better to choose a different date. Let's eat in the shop today. It's just a few steps away from the academy. I'll have someone go and invite you to be my husband later. How about that?"
Before she could speak, she added, "I'll give you the money right now."
Su Yan didn't shirk it anymore. If she shirks it any more, she would be looking down on others, "Then it will trouble my boss."
Then the two of them went up to the attic and paid a total of seven hundred taels of silver for a few dishes and the improved dishes. For convenience, all they gave was silver notes.
After Su Yan folded it and put it in the money bag, Mr. Ren hesitated for a moment and said directly: "Have you ever thought about opening a restaurant with someone as a partner? My family wanted to open a haggis soup shop before, but we couldn't find a suitable one.
cook."
There is no haggis soup shop in the county. There are many people who like to eat it, but if it is not cooked well, it will easily smell fishy. There was a shop that opened for two or three months and then closed.
Without a trace of hesitation, the woman nodded and said, "Okay, I'll teach the cook how to make it, and we'll split it 50-50."
Without her, the Ren family would not dare to open a haggis soup shop. It sounds like she is taking advantage of the 50-50, but in fact the Ren family is enjoying the benefits and just spending some money.
Mr. Ren has been doing business for so many years, so he naturally knows these truths, so he did not refute, on the contrary, he appreciated them.
How many women do things so simply?
If she were not already married, even if she was a widow, he would let his son marry her.
"Since you are so straightforward, I will simply agree. What other requests do you have?"
"Nothing, just haggis. Is it good to buy?"
"There is a family raising sheep over there in Shennan. I'll ask someone over tomorrow to ask."
"As long as the haggis is sold, the owner will definitely not sell it. You can buy the sheep and then divide the mutton meat among several restaurants."
Hearing this, Master Ren was troubled, "You want me to ask other shops? I'm afraid they won't take over."
"You can't stop doing a profitable business, so just say I sell mutton recipes. Every shop is different, so there won't be any conflict, and it won't have any impact on you."
Hearing what she said, Mr. Ren was shocked. He didn't expect that she would target every owner of a restaurant. How dare a woman have such courage?
"The little lady is really a good hand in business."
In this way, Su Yan will earn the most.
But there is no way to be jealous, this is something only she can do.
"I'm going to discuss it with them. You can have lunch here. I've asked the cook to prepare it. I'll ask the helper to call at home." Regarding his own business, Master Ren naturally couldn't sit down.
Su Yan nodded, "Okay."
Not long after, Zhang Xiu came over and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Mrs. Zhen, "I'll go back and call Sister Cui and the others."
Qin An had warned him many times before that as long as it was not him and Su Yan, no one could take the child out.
Not long after she left, Qin An followed the helper in. After the helper left, he said in a low voice: "Did they force you?"
"No, I'm their cash cow now, so I'm very polite."
Su Yan waited for him to sit down, then reached out to touch his forehead. Still normal, she asked again: "Have you finished drinking the hot water?"
"Drink it." Qin An's big hand gently rubbed her hand back and forth without saying anything, but both of them felt warm in their hearts.
Sometimes, there is no need to say any nice words, two people can feel each other's joy when they are together.
