In this way, she was still worried about her daughter's dowry. The dowry she brought was small. After she got married, she found that the girl had no dowry. Life was really difficult. The whole family had to live on the salary of the master. The master was afraid of the courage.
If you accept the gift, you will be given a copy of ginseng and someone will catch you and hurt your feet.
"Madam, the master is here!" Ms. Liao's mother suddenly ran in to announce. Ms. Liao panicked and hurriedly prepared to put away all the jewelry on the table. Unexpectedly, Wang Tongzhi stopped the girl who announced the news and raised the curtain himself.
Came in.
As soon as he came in, he saw Ms. Liao packing her things and said, "You are accepting gifts from others." Of course Wang Tongzhi knew the situation at home. How could his family afford such a small half box of jewelry? Not to mention that box of pearls.
Seeing that she couldn't hide it, Mrs. Liao simply spread it out and said, "It's from the family I'm visiting today!"
The servants in the inner courtyard stood outside the door holding their breath, because the master and his wife in the inner room actually started to quarrel, and the quarrel was very fierce. Finally, Wang Tongzhi came out of the room and walked away.
As Wang Tongzhi walked away, he was very angry. Only women and villains are hard to raise! How is that money so good? If the prefect can be promoted this time, then he will be the best candidate for this position. If someone finds out that he accepted it
Wouldn't bribery be a failure?
But the thought of Liao's fussing and crying hurt his heart a little. Didn't he want to live a good life? Wang Tongzhi wiped his face, that's fine! I hope Gu Chengyu didn't make any excessive demands, otherwise don't blame him for turning against him when the time comes!
Gu Chengyu had just settled the matter in the restaurant, but he didn't expect that someone over there was already plotting against his second sister. To be precise, they were plotting against him.
Huang Ming took Gu Wanhua to find Goutou. Huang Ming had seen Goutou in Fucheng before, so of course he knew where he was.
"Come on, come on, let's buy it! Hey? What about you? Do you want to buy the big one or the small one?"
Gu Wanhua followed Huang Ming to a gambling house. As soon as he entered the house, he heard shouts inside!
Huang Ming walked through the gambling house. There were too many people. Gu Wanhua could only wait by the door. He looked at the chaotic scene inside and felt a little scared! He had never been to such a place before.
"Kutou!" Huang Ming finally saw Dogou in a corner, and he was pushing Pai Gow at this time. The casino was too noisy, so he shouted twice, but Dogou didn't hear him, so he could only push the dog's head.
"Huh? It's Huang Ming? What are you doing here? What? You want to come and have fun too?" Goutou turned around and saw that it was Huang Ming, and was a little surprised. As the only person in their village, Huang Ming wished he had long eyes.
In heaven, when did you ever pay attention to him?
Huang Ming frowned when he saw Goutou talking frivolously and frivolously. If nothing happened, would he come to see this ignorant guy?
Huang Ming put on a smile and said, "I have something to do with you, please come out!"
Goutou couldn't believe it when he saw that Huang Ming actually smiled at him for the first time.
The dog head threw Pai Gow away and then said: "I won't play anymore, I'll come back later!"
Huang Ming pulled the dog's head to the other corner, looked over at Gu Wanhua, and hurriedly made a gesture to comfort him.
"Isn't your shop owner a loan shark? I have a business, will you do it?" Huang Ming said straight to the point.
"Who? You?" The dog glanced up and down at Huang Ming, with a somewhat disdainful tone. They were all from the same village. He didn't know what Huang Ming's family was like? Could he have valuable items as collateral?
"It's not me! I brought a classmate with me. He is in urgent need of money and wants to borrow two hundred taels. As long as this business is completed, you will also benefit, right?" Huang Ming was a little impatient. He looked down upon others.
"That's OK! Take me to see it!" Goutou also wants to make this business, and he can make some money.
Gu Wanhua stood aside, watching Huang Ming and the dog-headed man muttering and not knowing what to say, and suddenly felt a little regretful in his heart. Two hundred taels of silver, if his father knew about it, wouldn't he be beaten to death?
"You want to borrow money?" Goutou looked at Gu Wanhua and found that the clothes were not bad, but not very good, but he was rich, so there was no need to borrow money from them.
"Yes! I want to borrow two hundred taels!" At this point, Gu Wanhua couldn't back down even if he wanted to, so he simply stopped hesitating.
"What's your mortgage?" Dogou patted the dust on his body and asked, shaking his legs.
"I have no money and no mortgage! But don't worry, I will definitely pay it back after a while. Even if I can't pay it back, my brother-in-law will pay it back for me." Gu Wanhua explained quickly.
"Damn it, you're kidding me! You still want to borrow money without a mortgage? Pay it back to your brother-in-law? Your brother-in-law is not from your family? You don't have any money, but he does? You think I'm a fool!"
Goutou thought it was really a deal, but who knew he was being fooled.
"Hey? Where did you start talking about this? How can I fool you! Since I have found you, I will naturally find a way to pay back the money." Huang Ming pulled the dog head aside again and whispered for a while. The dog head looked back at Gu Wanhua,
Then he reluctantly nodded.
At this time, Gu Chengyu was teaching the cooks how to cook in the restaurant. He listed recipes, which were not available in the Dayan Dynasty, and the cooks he bought had never cooked them. Some of them were even not cooks before, so Gu Chengyu had to teach them step by step.
The restaurant's kitchen does not need to be rearranged. Gu Chengyu has already asked people to rearrange the lobby and the private rooms upstairs. It looks completely new. The waiters, cooks and accounting rooms are already there, waiting for the opening.
In the past two days, I have been handing out flyers in the streets and alleys. Gu Chengyu had drawn the style of the flyers and asked someone to copy it. The opening day was chosen eight days later.
He chose a quick learner among the chefs as the master chef. From then on, the master chef went to Gu Chengyu to learn cooking, and then came back and handed it over to the chefs in the restaurant, so that Gu Chengyu didn't have to stay in the kitchen all the time.
Gu Chengyu will not stay in Fucheng and wait for the restaurant to open. He will leave the matters here to Shopkeeper Niu and Yu Banzi, and let Yu Banzi stay in Fucheng for a month and wait for the restaurant to stabilize before going back.
"How many people did you buy this time?" Gu Chengyu always felt that there were few people available, and he was always constrained in doing things.
"Sir! We've bought quite a few people. We've bought more than fifty this time! This is in Fucheng, otherwise we wouldn't be able to buy so many people in the county town!" Yu Pengzi's persistence in buying people from Gu Chengyu also made him proud.
I'm deeply helpless, but the stall the master has is big and it does require a lot of people.
"By the way, I have arranged one of the accounting offices in the restaurant, and the other one is free! Sir, think about how you can arrange it. Oh! There are several women and two embroiderers here, and the young master should be able to use them.
?" Yu Pengzi handed a stack of deeds of sale to Gu Chengyu.
In fact, when he bought the embroiderer, he was hesitant. His master didn't open an embroidery shop, so how could he use the embroiderer? But the master told him to buy it as long as it was skilled and honest.
