This is a separate volume. "Warring States Policy" is very thick, and the printed version is a whole volume. It is extremely expensive. Some scholars can't afford it, so they will buy the hand-copied volumes. A book is about 100 to 200 Wen Wait, students like Zhou Lixue will get pens, inks and papers from here and go back to copy. They can earn about 20 yuan for a volume. If there are few mistakes, they can still earn some money for pens, inks and papers.
They don’t earn a lot, but they are studying "Warring States Policy" during this period. It is very happy to be able to copy such a book not only for memorization, but also for pocket money.
But the premise is that I have never seen my sister-in-law and the boss bargaining about the cost and selling price of a book.
Including Bai Shuping, the three of them felt a little stuffy, so stuffy that they didn't want to talk, so they took a new piece of paper and left.
Scholars who come to the bookstore to copy books, except for the scripts, other bookstores do not provide templates, so they have to have a book of their own if they want to copy "Warring States Policy".
Fortunately, although this book is expensive, the Zhou family can still afford it now. There are three books in total in the family.
Man Bao felt that they were walking too fast, so he hurriedly shouted: "What are you doing so fast? It's getting dark, and we are going home together, let's go together."
Zhou Lixue refused, "We're not going home, we're going to a restaurant."
"What are you doing at a restaurant?"
Zhou Lixue said: "Let's go to eat, I want to eat the food made by Uncle Six."
Zhou Ligu said: "That's right, Sixth Uncle's cooking skills are very good now, we love to eat the food made by Sixth Uncle."
Man Bao looked at them suspiciously, and simply said: "Okay, we will go and have a look with you, it just so happens that it may be a long time since I have tasted Sixth Brother's craftsmanship."
Bai Shuping turned to look at them.
Zhou Lixue and Zhou Ligu also fell silent, and said after a long while: "Sister, why don't you go home, don't you still have to go to the government office tomorrow?"
Bai Shan glanced at them and said, "Aren't you going to school tomorrow?"
So they went to the restaurant together.
The restaurant was at its busiest time, and the people in the store were so busy that they were about to hit the back of their heads. Zhou Liwei glanced at them and immediately said: "Why are you here? Hurry up and change your coats and come over to help. There are two tables over there. It's time to eat, go and clear the dishes, there are still guests waiting outside... "
After speaking, he saw Zhou Man and Bai Shan Bai Erlang. He was slightly stunned, and hurried up to greet him, "Sister-in-law, why are you here?"
Man Bao looked up and down, exclaimed: "Is the business of our restaurant so good?"
Zhou Liwei was a little proud, "That's natural, sister, you can sit upstairs, there is a private room that has been vacant, you can sit there."
"No," Man Bao waved his hand, "I'll give you a helping hand, you go ahead and don't worry about us."
But Zhou Man, Bai Shan and the others didn't have much practical use, so the three of them stood at the counter to help with the calculation and checkout.
Fortunately, the restaurant only added more dishes, and the original food prices did not change, so the three of them could match the list just by looking back and forth twice.
Occasionally, Zhou Liwei wandered over again, he knew which table was which, and would not admit mistakes, so the checkout was smooth.
The sun was setting and the sky outside was getting darker. Many people went out to visit the night market after eating, and there were also quite a few people who checked out and left in the restaurant.
Zhou Dalang and Xiao Qian, who had been helping out in the back kitchen, came out now.
When Man Bao saw Feng's here, his mouth opened wide in shock, "Second sister-in-law, why are you here?"
Feng said: "I'll help."
Man Bao turned pale with shock, his eyes could not help sliding to those guests who were still eating, are they all right? No, will their restaurants still be good in the future
Both Bai Shan and Bai Erlang couldn't help changing their expressions.
Looking at their faces, Little Qian knew that they had misunderstood, and quickly said: "There is your sixth brother and the chef in the kitchen, and your second sister-in-law is not in charge."
And there's her, she can take over if there aren't enough people in the kitchen.
Man Bao let out a sigh of relief.
Feng said angrily: "I just wash the vegetables and dishes, and I don't have a spoon. What are you doing when you're not at home?"
Man Baoli said confidently: "We went to the bookstore, and when we met Lixue, the three of them came here together."
As soon as they heard that they were going to the bookstore, Mrs. Feng and the others stopped asking, and they didn't understand anything about scholars.
Zhou Liwei came down from upstairs and said: "There are three tables upstairs and two tables downstairs. There are not many people left. Mother, you and your uncles and aunts should go back, and I will do the rest."
Feng had no objections, neither did Zhou Dalang and Xiaoqian, but Zhou Zhoulang and He, who were still helping to clean up the kitchen, were reluctant to leave.
Man Bao was very curious, "Third brother, why do you like staying in restaurants so much now?"
He smiled at the sister-in-law and said nothing, Zhou Zhoulang said: "Liu Lang found his wife here in the restaurant, and Liwei got married because of the restaurant."
And they know few people in the capital, and it is difficult to get in touch with outsiders. The best channel is the restaurant, so they like to stay in the restaurant very much 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 Zhou Zhou Lang cheered up, lowered his voice and said to her, "Look, Man Bao, here we come."
Who's coming
Man Bao turned his head to look, and saw a little lady with a basket coming in from the door of the shop. She glanced at Zhou Liwei, rolled her eyes slightly, and immediately rushed towards him.
Zhou Liwei turned around and went upstairs, and Zhou Lixue went up to meet him, and asked with a smile, "Sister Jing still buys steamed pork?"
The little lady watched Zhou Liwei disappear on the stairs, then she looked away and nodded at Zhou Lixue: "Yes, please help me get two bowls of steamed pork. I want to take it away."
She handed the basket to Zhou Lixue, Zhou Lixue took it, secretly gave Zhou Ligu and Bai Shuping a look, and then carried the basket to the kitchen to load the meat.
Zhou Zhoulang was full of regret, "Ligu is not smart at all, he doesn't know how to greet people."
Man Bao was dumbfounded, swallowed and asked, "Third brother, have you taken a fancy to this little lady?"
Zhou Zhoulang sighed and said: "What's the use of my fancy, the main thing is Li Gu's fancy, it's strange, when this little lady came yesterday, Li Gu greeted her, why did Li Xue go to greet her today?"
Man Bao: "...Third brother, this is a restaurant, it doesn't matter whoever talks to it."
Zhou Zhou Lang nodded, "I know, but don't you think these boys look wrong? I think they just like the little lady, but I'm sorry. kid."
If you don't like his son, it's okay to look at his nephew.
Man Bao carefully looked at the expressions of several people, and thought to himself: It is really possible that he has taken a fancy to your nephew, but this nephew is not that nephew.
