Chapter 43 Big business at the end of the year

After the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, it is really the bottom of the year. Everyone is busy sweeping the dust, making spring banners, changing peach charms, and preparing Tusu wine, five spiced dishes, glue teeth, etc. An appetizer for ancestor worship. On the 27th or 8th day of the twelfth lunar month, the shop has finished sweeping the dust, hung up new peach talismans, and sent out the reward money, so it is ready to close, and it will only open after the fifth day of the new year.

Shen Shaoguang stood at the door and said goodbye to the vegetable sellers and meat sellers: "The Chinese New Year is coming, and your family will be blessed with longevity and good health."

The vegetable and meat sellers also crossed their hands and saluted, smiling and wishing: "Little lady is blessed with longevity and good health", "The wine shop business is booming".

The meat and vegetables delivered this time, as long as they can pass, will be left in the restaurant, and the vegetable and meat sellers will also be exempted from the odds. Shen Shaoguang even gave them the newly-made flower cakes in the store to take home. The little children have sweet mouths, which is the politeness and human touch of the little people in the market.

Once again agreed on the delivery date after the year, Shen Shaoguang watched them leave.

Shenji Restaurant also opened on the last day of the year. Yu San brought Achang to move vegetables and chop meat. It should be sized well, and it should be frozen outside and kept for Chinese New Year and after the New Year. .

A Yuan was on the side, waiting to make a handmade banner and write a peach talisman for Shen Shaoguang.

This flag is not a spring flag with gold ornaments on its head, but a flag hung in the yard on the first day of the new year. It is made of blue cloth, which means welcoming spring. Shen Shaoguang's needlework skills are average, but he can make do with a streamer.

As for writing peach characters, it is even better.

"Take away the peach talisman from Qiu's family in Tofufang?" Shen Shaoguang asked A Yuan while sewing.

"Take it. I took it this morning, and I also gave a box of spiced dried bean curd as a thank you."

Shen Shaoguang said with a smile, "I went back and fried it with bacon for a drink."

Knowing that Shen Shaoguang wrote the pretense and food sign in the store himself, there are neighbors and small shops who often come and go to ask for writing peach symbols. Be patient, one is that many readers dislike writing this vulgarity. Flat-headed people and small businessmen can't read the font or the quality of the characters, but the lady Shen is good at talking...

Shen Shaoguang felt that the lottery booth he had been pondering could increase the service of writing peach characters and painting door gods, and there was also the bonus of magic sticks. The business must be good.

Yu San passed by here, glanced at Chunfan with thick needles and large threads under Shen Shaoguang, and smiled.

A Yuan glared at him, "What are you laughing at? You still can't sew!"

Shen Shaoguang nodded vigorously, and Ah Yuan refuted it well! Should be adding chicken thighs at noon today.

With a slight smile on his face, Yu San took the iron hook and went to the yard to freeze the meat.

The bell on the door rang, and Shen Shaoguang wondered, was there a customer coming to drink at this time? Could it be that he is here to ask for a peach symbol again?

The felt door curtain was lifted, and a girl came in, wearing a Hu attire and riding a horse, holding a horse whip in her hand, followed by a maid guard, Shen Shaoguang was stunned, this really did not come to ask for a peach talisman.

Shen Shaoguang put down the needle and thread and stood up to welcome the guest: "Girl, please sit inside."

The female customer looked at Shen Shaoguang, glanced at the store again, and handed the whip to the maid, "This is it."

One of the two guards behind her saluted and walked out.

Shen Shaoguang brought out the red dates and wolfberry drink on a tray, and said with a smile: "Lady, please drink a drink to warm up."

The maid next to the female guest took the tray and glanced at the drink inside suspiciously, which was placed on the food table in front of the host.

The female guest was not particular, she took a sip and raised her eyebrows, "Well, it tastes good!"

Shen Shaoguang smiled and thanked. In fact, this drink was not so sweet at first. Knowing this one's taste, he added honey to it later.

Shen Shaoguang presented the menu and wondered why this New Year's Eve came to the small restaurant - the princess also wanted to privately visit the people's sentiments? Just like the deputy mayor who is keen on happiness surveys, he can be rated as one of the top ten people who moved the Tang Dynasty.

Thinking of the vice mayor, Shen Shaoguang suddenly remembered that Pang Erniang and Qin Wuniang were coming, and then he couldn't help but diverge, could it be, could it be that this is also Lin Shaoyin's peach blossom?

"I heard that this hotpot came from a wine shop in Chongxianfang. Could it be your restaurant?" Princess Fuhui pointed at the menu and asked.

Shen Shaoguang smiled and said, "It's really a small shop. Would you like a pot to try, girl?"

Princess Fuhui was a little interested, "Okay! Let's serve one of each kind. Look at the meat and vegetables."

Shen Shaoguang smiled apologetically, "There are seven or eight kinds of pots in the shop, and they all come up. The fog in this room is so dazzling that it may stain the clothes of the distinguished guests, which is probably indecent. Mo Ruo will come with a milk soup first? Something that can be washed. A lot, and the taste is good." Although people who open a store are not afraid of potbellied men, it is always bad to spoil things. Outside the imperial city has its own rules outside the imperial city.

Shen Shaoguang's excuse was really good, thinking of his fleshy... Princess Fuhui nodded, "Alright, let's do as you said."

Shen Shaoguang stepped back with a smile, and there was no young lady willing to soak up the rich hot pot flavor. In her previous life, she watched the news, and some girls wore raincoats to eat pot to keep out the hot pot gas.

When Pei Fei came in, he saw Princess Fuhui sitting in front of the food table, a copper hot pot was steaming hot, and there were two other food tables next to them filled with meat and vegetables. Meat, Shen Ji's little lady was simmering wine.

Pei Fei smiled bitterly in her heart, and went up to greet her. Because the princess was wearing a small dress, she was only called "Liu Niang" - Princess Fuhui Xingliu.

"As soon as I guessed, I knew that Pei Lang came to Lin Shaoyin in Chongxian Square again, so he came to wait." Princess Fuhui smiled and said, and pointed to the seat opposite her for Pei Fei to sit.

Shen Shaoguang had never seen this peach-eyed romantic Pei Lang show such a helpless look.

Pei Fei sat down beside the food table opposite Princess Fuhui, and Shen Shaoguang thoughtfully put a pot for him.

"I tasted this meatball is good, and the owner's little lady also gave Pei Lang a copy!"

Shen Shaoguang really gave Pei Fei a copy.

"This tofu is fine, why are there so many holes?"

"This is frozen tofu." Shen Shaoguang replied.

"This one is full of soup and tastes good."

Shen Shaoguang also served Pei Fei a plate.

"This meatball is actually two layers..."

"What is this, crunchy, chewy..."

Shen Shaoguang added vegetables to Pei Fei in the same way. After a while, Pei Fei couldn't let go of the food table in front of him, and also placed two other food tables next to him for rinsing.

Seeing the eldest princess eating comfortably and the busy owner Shen, Pei Fei broke the jar and ate it with chopsticks.

Shen Shaoguang praised secretly, that's right, if you stretch out your head with a knife, and shrink your head with a knife, eat it first.

It's a pity that Pei Fei didn't take two bites, so the princess stopped her chopsticks, wiped her mouth with the silk handkerchief handed by her maid, and waved to Shen Shaoguang again. Shen Shaoguang hurried forward with A Yuan, took down the food table with the pot, set up another table, put a glass of drink, and then with a wink, hid in the kitchen and pretended that it didn't exist.

"Pei Lang wants to understand what I mean, I wonder if he is willing?"

Pei Fei felt bitter in his heart and bitter in his mouth. As he was pondering the words, Princess Fuhui continued to speak, "If you want, you will, if you don't want to, you won't. Why do you hide from it and act like a little girl?"

Pei Fei blushed, stood up and saluted, said solemnly, "I don't want to."

The eldest princess raised her eyebrows to look at him, her eyes swept across Pei Fei's handsome face, shoulders, waist, and long legs, and sighed faintly, "That's it..."

Pei Fei didn't expect Princess Fuhui to be "just" so easily, and was a little stunned.

Princess Fuhui stood up, and Shen Shaoguang hurriedly came out of the kitchen to see him off.

"Are you willing to be a cook at the Princess Chang's residence? You don't need to change your slave status. If you want to leave, just say it."

Shen Shaoguang hurriedly saluted: "Thanks to the honor of the nobles, but the people of the countryside are used to freedom, and I am afraid that they will not be able to serve the nobles." The nonsense was very sincere.

The eldest princess looked at Shen Shaoguang and sighed again, "It's okay, it's just that it's rare to have such a heart with me." She actually took off a pair of inlaid gold armbands on her wrist and handed it to Shen Shaoguang.

Shen Shaoguang took it with both hands: "The gift from the noble is too precious."

Princess Fuhui smiled and said, "The right to be the food." She walked out with her hands behind her back.

Standing at the door, looking at the back of the horse riding away, Shen Shaoguang touched the gemstones inlaid on the armband in his sleeve, and was filled with emotion: At first, he thought that Li Bai's exchange of "five-flowered horses and a thousand golden furs" for wine was just an artistic exaggeration. Maybe it's true... The eldest princess is so majestic, so heroic, so likable!

Shen Shaoguang turned his head sideways, facing the pair of peach blossom eyes. Pei Fei smiled a little relieved and a little helpless.

Shen Shaoguang also smiled back at him, and then asked solemnly, "Langjun go in and eat?"

Pei Fei felt that this little lady Shen's serious look was exactly the same as Lin Yan, and she hated it.

Pei Fei turned his head and left. Although Shen Shaoguang didn't know him well, he was sure that he wasn't really angry, and walked back to the store with a smile.

On the last day of this year, Shen Shaoguang thought it was a good sign to get the biggest deal!

Speaking of which, was really surprised to see Princess Fuhui today. Although this princess was not from Jinshang's same mother, she was quite respectable in the palace, and the concubine she chose at the beginning was not bad, but unfortunately she was seriously injured during the expedition against Tubo, but it was more than a dead man.

After a few years, the eldest princess took good care of her concubine, but she did not delay in finding a young man she liked.

It is said that the empress dowager and saints in the palace persuaded her, and the eldest princess said, "The concubine is loyal to the country, and I will naturally try my best to take good care of him." As for the young man, "But I can't lose myself..."

The eldest princess is still doing her own way, and the queen mother and the emperor will not persuade them.

Thinking about Mrs. Chu that day, and thinking about Mrs. Li Liu today, thinking about the attitudes and practices of the two about love and marriage, Shen Shaoguang felt something different.

Hey, what are you thinking about? New Years, New Years! After sending off a few diners at noon, the store was cleaned up, Shen Shaoguang greeted Yu San'ayuan to close the door, and we had an annual holiday!
