This is a separate volume. "Warring States Policy" is very thick. The printed version is a whole volume. It is very expensive. Some scholars can't afford it, so they will buy separate volumes that have been copied by others. Each volume costs about 100 to 200 liters.
No wait, students like Zhou Lixue will get pen, ink and paper from here and go back to copy. They can earn about 20 yuan per volume. If they make few mistakes, they can also earn some money for pen, ink and paper.
They didn't earn a lot, but they were studying "Warring States Policy" during this period. Being able to copy such a book would not only help me memorize it, but also earn some pocket money. This was a very happy thing.
But the prerequisite is that I haven't seen my sister-in-law and the others bargaining with the boss about the cost and sales of a book.
Including Bai Shuping, the three of them were a little upset, so upset that they didn't want to talk, so they received the new paper and left.
Scholars who come to bookstores to copy books, except for story books, other bookstores do not provide templates, so if they want to copy "Warring States Policy", they must have a book of their own.
Fortunately, although this book is expensive, the Zhou family can still afford it. They now have three books in total.
Man Bao felt that they were walking too fast, and quickly shouted: "What are you doing walking so fast? It's getting dark, and we are about to go home together, let's go together."
Zhou Lixue refused, "We are not going home, we are going to a restaurant."
"What are you doing at a restaurant?"
Zhou Lixue said: "Let's go to dinner. We want to eat the food cooked by Uncle Liu."
Zhou Ligu said: "Yes, Uncle Six's cooking skills are very good now. We love to eat the food cooked by Uncle Six."
Man Bao looked at them with suspicion and said simply: "Okay, let's go and have a look with you. It just so happens that we haven't tasted Sixth Brother's craftsmanship for a long time."
Bai Shuping turned to look at them.
Zhou Lixue and Zhou Ligu also fell silent, and after a while they said, "Sister-in-law, why don't you go home? Don't you have to go to the Yamen tomorrow?"
Bai Shan glanced at them and said, "Don't you have to go to school tomorrow?"
So they went to the restaurant together.
It was the busiest time in the restaurant, and the people in the store were so busy that they almost hit the back of their heads. Zhou Liwei glanced at them and immediately said: "Why are you here? Hurry up and change your coat and come to help. There are two tables over there."
When you're done eating, go clear the dishes, there are still customers waiting outside..."
After saying that, he saw Zhou Man and Bai Shanbai Erlang. He was slightly stunned and hurriedly greeted them, "Sister-in-law, why are you here?"
Man Bao looked up and down and exclaimed: "Is the business of our restaurant so good?"
Zhou Liwei was a little proud, "That's natural, sister-in-law, you can sit upstairs. There is a private room that has been vacant. Sit there."
"No need," Man Bao waved his hand, "I'll give you a hand. You can go ahead and don't worry about us."
But in fact, there were not many that could be used by Zhou Man and Bai Shan, so the three of them stood at the counter to help calculate and settle the accounts.
Fortunately, the restaurant only added dishes and the original meal prices did not change, so the three of them just looked back and forth twice to get their orders right.
Occasionally, Zhou Liwei comes over again. He knows which table is which and will not admit mistakes, so the checkout goes smoothly.
The sun was setting and the sky was getting dark outside. Many people had finished their meals and went out to visit the night market. There were also many people paying their bills and leaving the restaurant, and most of them were gone in an instant.
Only then did Zhou Dalang and Xiao Qian, who had been helping in the kitchen, come out.
When Man Bao saw that Feng was here, he opened his mouth in shock, "Second sister-in-law, why are you here too?"
Feng said: "Let me help."
Man Bao was shocked, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at the guests who were still eating. Are they okay? No, will their restaurant be okay in the future?
Both Bai Shan and Bai Erlang couldn't help but change their expressions.
Looking at their faces, Xiao Qian knew that they had misunderstood, and said quickly: "Your sixth brother and the chef are in the kitchen, but your second sister-in-law is not in charge of the cooking."
And there is her. If there are not enough people in the kitchen, she can take over.
Man Bao breathed a sigh of relief.
Feng said angrily: "I just wash vegetables and dishes. I don't have a spoon. Why are you running out here when you're not at home?"
Man Bao said confidently: "We were going to the bookstore, and the three of them came over together when we met Li Xue."
As soon as they heard that they were going to the bookstore, Feng and others didn't ask any more questions. Even if they asked about the scholars, they didn't understand.
Zhou Liwei came down from upstairs and said: "There are three tables upstairs and two tables downstairs. There are not many people. Mom, you and your uncle and aunt should go back and leave the rest to me."
Feng didn't have any objections, nor did Zhou Dalang and Xiao Qian, but Zhou Lang and He, who were still helping clean things in the kitchen, were reluctant to leave.
Man Bao was very curious, "Third brother, why do you like staying in restaurants so much now?"
Mr. He smiled at his sister-in-law and said nothing, then Zhou Lang said: "Liu Lang found his wife here in the restaurant, and Li Wei's marriage has some reason to do with the restaurant."
However, they know few people in the capital and it is difficult to communicate with outsiders. The best channel is restaurants, so they like to stay in restaurants recently.
Obviously, Zhou Dalang also had this idea.
When Man Bao heard this, he was speechless for a long time.
After a pause, she was about to ask a question when she saw Zhou Lang perked up and lowered his voice and said to her: "Look, Man Bao, he's here."
Who is coming?
Man Bao turned around and saw a young lady carrying a basket coming in from the door of the store. She glanced around and saw Zhou Liwei, her eyes slightly curved and she immediately rushed towards him.
Zhou Liwei turned around and went upstairs. Zhou Lixue went up to meet him and asked with a smile: "Sister Jing, do you still want to buy steamed pork with rice noodles?"
The young lady watched Zhou Liwei disappear up the stairs, then she looked away and nodded to Zhou Lixue: "Yes, please help me get two bowls of steamed rice noodles, I want to take away."
She handed the basket to Zhou Lixue, who took it, secretly glanced at Zhou Ligu and Bai Shuping, and then took the basket to the kitchen to pack the meat.
Zhou Lang felt regretful, "This guy Li Gu is not clever at all, he won't even go up to greet people."
Man Bao was stunned, swallowed his saliva and asked: "Third brother, do you have a crush on this little lady?"
Zhou Lang sighed and said: "What's the use of my fancy? It mainly depends on Li Gu. It's strange that when this young lady came yesterday, Li Gu greeted her. Why did she change to Li Xue to greet her today?"
Man Bao: "... Third brother, this is a restaurant, it doesn't matter who you talk to."
Zhou Lang nodded, "I know, but don't you think the expressions of these boys are not right? I think they just like young ladies, but I'm sorry. I don't know if this young lady can like these guys in our family."
Boy."
If you don't like his son, you can also like his nephew.
Man Bao looked at the expressions of several people carefully and thought to himself: Maybe he really has taken a fancy to your nephew, but this nephew is not that nephew.
