The new year has passed, and the beginning of spring is coming soon, which means that the weather is gradually getting warmer. It is no longer getting colder every day, but warmer every day.
Although it is said that the weather will be warmer in spring, Zhong Ziqi still feels very cold, especially the temperature difference between morning and evening is particularly large, and he usually avoids this time period when he goes out.
Otherwise, Zhong Ziqi could be said to be the most leisurely one among all of them. He has been in full three months now, and he is no longer vomiting during pregnancy. His appetite has improved, and he will naturally feel better. In addition, the Zhong family and the Wang family will not come to find trouble. Zhao Zhengan is doing everything at home. There is no shortage of flowers to eat, not to mention how nourishing his daily life is, of course this is only in the eyes of others.
In Zhong Ziqi's eyes, he is really no different from a pig now. He eats and sleeps every day, and his bones are about to fall apart. It's really boring, there are no entertainment activities every day, I can only stay stupidly, I stay for a whole day, eat and sleep, and there is no Doudou to play...
It's fine if it's only ten and a half days, but there are still six or seven months left. If he is allowed to keep doing this, he will definitely be depressed.
Tun Zhong Ziqi protested to Zhao Zheng'an, saying that going out and walking more is good for the body and good for the baby.
Zhao Zhengan thinks about it too, it's not good to stay all the time, and a certain amount of exercise is still needed. It's just that their village is not big, and there are not many people they know well. They are all in the town, and there is no one who wants to go out to talk to.
There was no other way, Zhao Zhengan had no choice but to take Zhong Ziqi to the town. It's just that they don't want to always ride in Uncle Zhao's carriage, which is inconvenient, so the two of them discussed and decided to buy a carriage, which will be used in the future, and it makes no difference whether to buy it early or late.
So Zhao Zhengan came back in a carriage that day.
Zhong Ziqi was sewing Zhao Zhengan's unthreaded clothes in the room when she heard a faint sound. Da Hei and Xiao Hei also stood up and stared at the door covetously, barking twice.
Zhong Ziqi put down her clothes, put on her shoes, and walked out of the house. Just then there was a knock on the door. Zhong Ziqi asked warily, "Who?"
"Daughter-in-law, it's me." Zhao Zhengan replied outside the door.
The door of their house is usually locked backwards, especially when he is at home, to prevent unruly people from entering, and when Zhao Zhengan comes back, he only needs to knock on the door, and Zhong Ziqi will open it for him.
"Oh..." Zhong Ziqi hastily walked over and opened the door, and it was the carriage with carriage outside that caught his eyes.
A brown adult horse was standing there obediently, flicking its tail, looking at Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan with its big watery eyes.
Zhong Ziqi felt that she had turned cute: "Can I touch it?"
Zhao Zhengan hurriedly stopped him: "It doesn't know you yet, so be careful not to get hurt."
"Oh." Zhong Ziqi replied regretfully, then entered the carriage and looked up and down carefully, very satisfied.
"Not bad?" Zhao Zhengan asked with a smile, he had been choosing for a long time.
Zhong Ziqi nodded: "Very good." This way it will be convenient for them to go out wherever they want.
Although the yard of their house is spacious enough, a chicken coop and a dog coop also take up a large area. The cart can be put directly in the yard, but the horse is indeed a problem, so it can't just be tied in the yard. See It was too dirty.
After thinking about it, Zhao Zheng'an went to those dilapidated houses, found some boards, pieced them together, and built a simple stable. , their family has built a new house, and they will definitely build a stable again.
The next day, after the sun rose and the temperature was warm, Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi went to Qingshui Town. Now there is Wang Jicheng's guard in the compound, so there is no need to worry about any problems. The two of them became the hands-off shopkeeper.
Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi went straight to it and it was delicious. At this time, there are still quite a lot of delicious people. Those with sharp eyes noticed that Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi hadn't seen each other for a long time.
Everyone greeted one after another: "Boss Zhao is here."
"Boy Zhao and Brother Qi, are you here?"
"You two brats, don't come and see us old fellows" This is what the acquaintance said
"..."
There were a lot of people saying hello, Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi stood at the door with smiles on their faces and exchanged greetings one by one for a while.
Then went into the house.
"Why are you two here?" Amo Zhao asked out of her busy schedule.
"Ziqi was too bored at home, so I took him out for a walk to relieve boredom." Zhao Zhengan said.
Amo Zhao nodded: "It's time to exercise more, you take people too seriously."
"Ah Zhao, do you think so too? He won't let me do this every day, and won't let me do that every day. He eats and sleeps every day, and eats after sleeping. What's the difference between me and a pig?" Zhong Ziqi complained helplessly to Zhao Amo .
Zhao Zhengan was also very helpless, he was also worried about him.
Zhao Ama laughed: "You are also in the midst of blessings and don't know how to be blessed. I think when I was pregnant, I went to the fields to do farm work, planting seedlings and harvesting which one I didn't do. I was tired at that time, so I wanted to take a good rest. That's all. No time."
Zhong Ziqi was preached, but just laughed.
Seeing that there were too many people in the store, Zhao Zhengan went over to help.
After a while, Zhao Ning was free, and ran over to talk to Zhong Ziqi: "Ziqi, have you bought your carriage?" They all heard Zhao Zhengan say that they wanted to buy a carriage.
"I bought it, he is the one who rushed here today."
Zhao Ning said enviously, "Spend a lot of money, right?"
"Fortunately, dozens of taels." They still could afford the money.
Zhao Ning shook his head in shock, a few dozen taels is still a little, their family has worked so hard for so long, at best they can have these.
"What's the matter, do you like it? Ask Brother Lei to buy one for you too." Zhong Ziqi winked and said.
Zhao Ning involuntarily glanced at Huang Jinlei, who was still busy, and shook his head: "Forget it, it's too expensive, who like your family will not blink an eye when you take out dozens of taels." Zhong Ziqi joked with a smile: "This Start saving money before you get through the door.”
"What are you talking about!" Zhao Ning glared at him.
"By the way, Ziqi, have you heard that the Changshun restaurant in our town, the one that bullied us, is about to close."
Zhao Ning gloated and said that Changshun really bullied them too hard, especially Zhao Zhengan. If Zhao Zhengan hadn't died, Zhong Ziqi might have been a widow by now. No matter in which era, there are many gossips in front of widows, and it is sad.
"Oh? Isn't it open? Why is it closed?"
Zhong Ziqi remembered how rampant Changshun was. Although she knew that it would be a matter of time before they went bankrupt, she was curious about why they suddenly went bankrupt.
Zhao Ning pouted: "I heard people who came to eat say that this Changshun Restaurant has been very difficult since it was pressured by Jinhua Restaurant. The county magistrate behind them ordered their Chang family to settle down. Especially After hurting Zhao Zhengan of your family, the county magistrate became even more furious. The aunt and wife of the Chang family were left out and fell out of favor. The county magistrate carried him into another room not long after. Although his appearance is not as good as this brother from the Chang family, he is worse than the gentle and pleasant county master who likes him."
"Also, since you started doing business in the town, you have taken away a lot of diners, especially since we opened the store, and there are more people. Jinhua is not affected because Jinhua's consumption is originally provided for some rich people, and people The chef of Jinhua Restaurant is much better than Changshun’s. I heard that the cook of Changshun Restaurant has dirty hands and feet. Because of this reason, he was kicked out by many restaurants. There is really nothing outstanding about this craftsmanship, and Changshun started to snatch the formula not to be reconciled to the cold business."
Zhong Ziqi shook her head in disapproval, so what if she snatched it, the craftsmanship is not good, and even if she snatched it, she couldn't make this kind of taste, but these delicious recipes were buried.
Zhao Ning took a sip of water and continued: "This Changshun Restaurant is not like Jinhua Restaurant where most of the rich people go. They don't have skills, so they usually go to ordinary people. They always want to compete with Jinhua. Really. I don’t know the sky and the earth, since we are quite delicious, those diners have basically come to us, especially after you started to supply twisted fried dough sticks to the restaurant, whichever restaurant has it, the diners will naturally go there. We don’t have any in Changshun Supply, and no one went there. I heard that there are only three or two people a day, which is very deserted. After a long time, they will not be able to maintain their expenses. They were extravagant and offended many people, now that Brother Chang has fallen out of favor, and without the support of the magistrate, those offended by them have started to come to find fault with them, and naturally this restaurant will not be able to continue."
Zhong Ziqi summed up after listening and said: "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. It's not that the time has not come for not reporting. Look, now is the time for retribution. Therefore, it is said that one cannot do too much, and this is the end."
Zhao Ning also nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
Zhong Ziqi stayed in the store all morning and then went home with Zhao Zhengan. On the way back, Zhong Ziqi told Zhao Zhengan about Changshun.
Zhao Zheng'an sighed: "It's really admirable to be a human being to such an extent. I wish I could offend the whole world."
"Who doesn't say it? They say that many friends have many paths. Their family is good, and many enemies make a good meal."
Zhong Ziqi sat in the carriage and shook her head, reached out her hand to touch the bulge on her stomach, thinking in her heart that their future children must be educated well, if they are like that, then it would be better not to raise them, and cause harm to others.
After returning home, Zhao Zhengan got into the kitchen to cook after resting for a while, while Zhong Ziqi sat on the kang, thinking.
He was thinking about adding some food to sell. They don't have time to retail in the courtyard, but they can be made. As long as the finished product is made, it will be sold through major restaurants.
He is not afraid that those restaurants will not sell them. It is the first time he has seen every food in this world. As long as you take the samples back and taste them, unless you are a stupid person, anyone with a brain will agree.
How could they miss the opportunity to make money
It's just that he has to think carefully about what to sell.
