Naturally, Baiyu couldn't understand what Xu Qinyu said, so she just raised her head and continued to look at Xu Qinyu expectantly, hoping that she could eat the prey on the ground. Bring it back for her to eat.

It was raised by her since childhood. In its eyes, this species, which looks different from itself, is also regarded as its mother, and it is the closest to it.

But one day, it was suddenly thrown back into the mountain, it was a little at a loss, at first it just wanted to go back to find them.

Later, I wondered if it was because I was too weak to hunt and was rejected, so I was thrown back into the mountain. Only cubs that were too weak to hunt were rejected by their mother. It started to learn to hunt. At the beginning, it could not catch anything. Sometimes it could only eat some insects on the trees. It was often hungry. Later, it would slowly catch some mice, and then the prey it got was getting bigger and bigger. Catch some pheasants.

In fact, it also sneaked back to the town before, and made a few mistakes before finally finding its way home.

But it can't catch big prey yet, so it's hard to come back.

When it can catch the pheasant proficiently, it will happily catch the prey and return home. Naturally, it will be very happy to see what it thinks is "Mother". Give the caught prey to the mother to eat.

But now that Mother is pointing at it, it doesn't understand what it means.

But in the past, when my mother seemed to be angry, she would point to it and shout, 'Xu Baiyu. '

Bai Yu flinched, a pair of red eyes revealed a little bit of grievance.

When Xu Qinyu saw it like this, the anger in his heart suddenly dissipated. Every time it looked like this, it was when Heiyu bullied it.

When he was bullied by black jade before, it would sneak up to her side and look at it with such an expression, although seeing the expression in the eyes of animals would make it nonsense, but she did see the grievance in Bai Yu's eyes.

Xu Qinyu found that although she was afraid of snakes, she didn't seem to be afraid of Baiyu.

She probably also figured it out at this moment. She thought it was good for him to release Baiyu. Of course, she was a little afraid that Baiyu would grow bigger and scare the people in the town. But in fact, her behavior was probably the same as throwing away a pet, or In Bai Yu's eyes, this is also the 'mother' abandoning the child, and the harm to Bai Yu is self-evident.

Thinking of this, Xu Qinyu knelt down and touched the snake's naked head.

Bai Yu straightened up and rubbed her palm.

Xu Qinyu smiled and said, "Forget it, since you want to stay here, I won't send you back to the mountain in the future."

In the future, unless Bai Yu wanted to leave and go back to the mountains, she would not force her.

In the worst case, earn more money and strive to live in a five-entry mansion as soon as possible, preferably a mansion with a large backyard garden. Let Baiyu stay in the mansion, and there is a garden for him to do activities. It is easy to scare others.

According to Baiyu's current growth rate, it will take at least one or two years to grow into a giant python of three or four meters. In one or two years, she should be able to buy a big house!

She also has to work hard to make money for Bai Yu.

Xu Qinyu finally pointed to the horrible pheasant on the ground, and told Baiyu that he didn't need it to hunt and come back to feed them.

Baiyu still didn't understand, at this moment Moyu suddenly ran in from the outside, and when he saw Baiyu, he let out a groan of joy, and rushed towards Baiyu, first put his two front legs on Baiyu's body, and then used his two Backed up and rode over, the whole leopard lay on Bai Yu's body, trying to reach out to hold it, but found that it was a little bit hard to hold.

Seeing Mo Yu riding on it, Bai Yu immediately rolled over and entangled Mo Yu with his body.

After the two quarreled like this for a while, Bai Yu let go of Mo Yu.

Mo Yu licked Bai Yu, probably the taste was not good, and it was not fluffy enough, so he stopped licking it, and suddenly smelled the game nearby, Mo Yu ran over to sniff the pheasant that Bai Yu spit out, and then showed a disgusted expression .

Bai Yu understood Mo Yu's disgust.

Bai Yu suddenly understood what Xu Qinyu meant, and gave Xu Qin a listless look.

Xu Qinyu laughed and didn't care about them anymore. In the past, he used a sack to pack the pheasants. It's not easy to throw this thing on the road. It's not too bad to be picked up by wild dogs and eat it, so I'm afraid it will be picked up on the road. After eating, after all, it was spit out from the belly of a snake, and it was also afraid that passers-by would eat it.

And judging by Bai Yu's appearance, he probably wouldn't swallow the prey he vomited out, and when Brother Cheng came over to hunt for eels outside the town, he should throw the pheasant outside the town and bury it.

Just as he was thinking, Brother Cheng came with Brother Gong.

The two brothers were not frightened when they saw the white jade in the yard, but rather excited.

"Sister-in-law four, there's a white snake!" As she spoke, she wanted to catch it.

Xu Qinyu said: "This is a white snake that was raised years ago. It is called Baiyu. After the next year, I thought it would grow bigger and bigger. I was afraid of scaring others, so I put it back in the forest. I didn't expect it to come back again after a month and a half. I found it and brought me back the prey." She pointed to the bag beside her.

Wen Shuncheng came over and looked at the things in the bag, showing an indescribable expression.

But he couldn't help but said, "This snake is quite spiritual."

When have you ever seen a snake that feeds back on its owner?

Xu Qinyu couldn't help but nodded.

Snakes are cold-blooded animals and will not get close to humans, let alone their masters.

Baiyu is indeed different from other snakes, so Xu Qinyu also knows that if it is adopted by him, it will not attack people at will in the future.

When Xu Qinyu asked Brother Cheng and Brother Gong to go out of town, he took the contents of the bag out and dug a hole to bury them.

When the two left, they took the pheasant away.

After a while, the family members also woke up one after another, Wen Shi, sister Ning and their two children were also surprised to hear that Bai Yu had returned.

Sister Ning said, "The beasts brought back by the fourth brother seem to be very smart. They are different from ordinary wild beasts, and they are well kept. Since they have human nature, they will not attack people at will."

Xu Qinyu nodded.

Only Mrs. Gui had never seen Baiyu before, so she was startled and a little afraid of snakes, but she knew that Baiyu had human nature, so she had nothing to be afraid of.

Xu Qinyu marinated the fat intestines and began to cook the morning food.

When the morning food was about to be ready, Brother Cheng and Brother Gong came back with a basket of rice field eels. Today's rice field eels are quite fat.

Looking at the plump eel, Xu Qinyu thought that he hadn't eaten eel for more than half a month, so he asked Brother Cheng to keep the eel and eat it at night when he was bored. The eel is earthy, the bones are crispy and the meat is tender.

Brother Cheng and Brother Gong are also a bit greedy for eel, and haven't eaten it for a long time. The eel made by the fourth sister-in-law is so delicious that they never forget it.

Brother Cheng poured the eel into the wooden basin next to it and raised it. Xu Qinyu went over to take a look and found several snails. He asked in surprise, "Isn't this a snail?"

Because no one has ever eaten it, and the original body has no dishes about snails in her memory, so she doesn't know if there is such a thing here.

Brother Cheng said: "Is Sisao talking about snails?"

Can this thing be eaten? After all, as long as the fourth sister-in-law opened her mouth, it must be edible.

Xu Qinyu nodded, "Well, even snails can be eaten, and there are quite a few ways to make them. In the future, Brother Cheng is free, you can go to the pond and ditches to find some, and I will make them for you to eat."

Escargot can be braised in oil, stir-fried, spicy, chicken and stone olive soup, fried snail meat with leeks, snail meat with toothpicks, and snail is one of the main recipes for snail noodles.

Those who love snail powder love it to death, and those who don't like it stay away.

Xu Qinyu is the kind who likes to eat everything, she likes snail powder, durian, stinky tofu, even coriander and Houttuynia cordata.

She is not picky about food, and all the ingredients are delicious in her eyes.

In short, there are at least dozens of ways to eat any food in her mind.

Brother Cheng responded immediately.

After eating the morning meal, Cheng Ge'er sent the braised fat intestines to Tian Butcher, and Xu Qinyu went to Mrs. Yao with the deed. The two agreed to meet at the shop to sign the deed at the beginning of the year.

After arriving at the restaurant, Yao shi was already waiting at the shop. After seeing Xu Qinyu, he took the contract and read it carefully.

She didn't think the above documents were excessive, but felt superfluous. How could Mrs. Xu worry about her random rent increase? She thought about whether the rent would be reduced by a few taels if the shop could not be rented out again.

Does Miss Xu really think that she can make a lot of money by opening a restaurant, to the point of making people jealous?

This little lady Xu is quite confident in her cooking skills.

But she is also a sincere person. Even if Mrs. Xu opened a restaurant and made a lot of money, she would not be jealous and raise the rent. Everyone has their own fortune, and she would never think about making money in a crooked way.

The conditions on the deed were not excessive, Yao shi readily pressed his fingerprints.

Xu Qinyu also pressed his handprint on it.

The deed is made in duplicate, and both of them press their fingerprints. In this way, this deed has legal effect, and there is no need to go to the yamen to stamp it. In the future, any party who regrets violating the deed can go to the yamen with the deed in hand. Sue, one sue is accurate.

These days, the law may not be as comprehensive and reasonable as in modern society, but the punishment will be much heavier, and most people are reluctant to go to the yamen.

Both of them put away the deed, Yao Shi smiled and said, "In the future, Miss Xu can find me if she has anything to help."

Xu Qinyu nodded and paid Yao Shi the rent of fifty taels.

Yao Shi wrote the receipt, the two pressed their fingerprints, Xu Qinyu accepted the receipt, and he was relieved.

Although it is not the first time to open a store, the tension and joy in my heart are self-evident.

Yao shi left after handing the key to Xu Qinyu.

Xu Qinyu hasn't left yet. She has to see how many things the restaurant needs to buy, and the tables, chairs, and benches in the living room have to be re-made by a carpenter. The counter is very old, and she is also going to re-build the kitchen utensils in the back kitchen. have to figure it out.

Xu Qinyu stayed in the restaurant, lying over the counter writing what to buy.

There is also the style of drawing tables, chairs, benches and counters. At that time, a carpenter will be required to come to the restaurant to make the counter.

Xu Qinyu wrote and drew attentively.

The female shopkeeper of the rouge gouache next door already knew that the little lady who came to ask her two days ago had rented the shop next door. Just couldn't help shaking his head and left.

Xu Qinyu has been writing and painting for more than an hour. Seeing that she is going to go back to make fish, she collects her things and takes them back to Guihua Lane with no end in sight.

Brother Cheng still can't cook fish by himself.

Xu Qinyu plans to try to get Cheng Geer to learn and master both fish balls, braised fish and fish head stewed tofu this month.

Because the decoration of the restaurant, the purchase of things, and the list of food are all very labor-intensive, I am afraid it will take more than a month for the restaurant to officially open.

As for the name of the restaurant, Xu Qinyu intends to use the name of her private restaurant in modern times.

Xu Kee Restaurant.

Even if it is made into a big restaurant in the future, this Xuji restaurant can still be used.

After returning, Xu Qinyu made fish, and Brother Cheng also helped.

After selling the fish and eating the evening meal, Xu Qinyu lit the oil lamp and continued her writing and painting.

With the tables, chairs and benches she designed, the three-fronted shop could hold nine tables.

Two large tables, a round table for eight or nine people, six long tables for four, and a square table for two in the corner.

As for the counter, because it needs to be re-installed, she also designed it. The counter is U-shaped, and the back can be made into a cabinet. Some drinks can be placed on the cabinet. The counter does not need to be too big or too spacious. The whole is much smaller, which can make the living room look more spacious.

The name of the restaurant is Xu Ji Restaurant, and Xu Qinyu has also asked her family's opinions unanimously, and they all say that the atmosphere is nice.

So the name of the restaurant was decided.

When he was busy until Hai, Xu Qinyu fell asleep.

For the next two days, she concentrated on writing and drawing.

After everything is drawn, it is to find a carpenter to work.

When making a cart before, the sister-in-law of the Xia family introduced a carpenter to Xu Qinyu, surnamed Gao, who was a good carpenter, so Xu Qinyu continued to find him.

These tables, chairs, benches, and counters, Tall Carpenter told her, would take about a month.

Xu Qinyu nodded, "One month is enough time, it just so happens that I have to buy other things."

The floor of the restaurant is covered with blue bricks, so there is no need to replace them. The blue bricks are fine, but the windows and doors are a little worn out, so the carpenter Gao will help repair and repaint them.

In addition, you have to buy kitchen utensils. There are all kinds of iron pots in the kitchen utensils.

She went to the iron shop to order a few iron pans of different sizes, as well as iron plates and pans, all of which were ordered.

After paying the rent, she still had one hundred and ninety-seven taels of silver on her body.

Tables, chairs, benches, counters, and windows and doors cost about thirty taels of silver to repair.

Although the tables, chairs and benches she wanted were not made of more expensive wood, they were more expensive because they had to be painted.

The painted tabletop is not easy to penetrate the grease of the food, otherwise the tabletop will be greasy no matter how you wipe it.

In this era, painting is not like the paints prepared in modern times. They are all natural and have no pollution. They also need to do the foundation, matte leather, and various tedious processes, so the painting process is quite expensive.

Thirty-two carpenters.

Iron pans also need about twenty taels.

In this way, it took a year of rent for the shop, and there were more than 140 taels left on him.

Even the various bowls and plates were custom-made by her from the porcelain kiln, and the patterns were also drawn by her.

Of course, it is impossible to expect colored porcelain, which is ridiculously expensive, just ordinary white porcelain, which will cost about ten taels of silver.

All that's left is to buy ingredients when it's about to open.

Anyway, the money is enough.

Of course, to open a restaurant, you have to find a second child who runs the hall. Two is almost enough. The second child not only runs the hall, but also washes the dishes and dishes.

The shopkeeper's word is to settle accounts. On weekdays, Xu Qinyu must be in charge of the back kitchen, not caring for the front desk.

But hiring a special shopkeeper is a bit of a waste. There are Mrs. Wen and Ning Jie'er at home. If they make bags on weekdays, they don't do it every day. Ask Wen Shi and Ning Jie'er, if they don't want to be shopkeepers, they will only recruit people.

When returning in the afternoon, Xu Qinyu asked Wen Shi and Ning Jie'er.

Wen said that she could go to the restaurant every day to help settle accounts, and Ning Jie'er could just stay at home and make bags.

After all, Ning Jie'er also thought of the styles of these bags on weekdays, and her hands were more clever.

So it's better for Ning Jie'er to continue making bags in the future. She went to her daughter-in-law's restaurant to help, because she was worried that someone outside would bully her daughter-in-law and she could help.

Wen's willing to go to the restaurant to help, Xu Qinyu is naturally relieved.

The only thing left is to find some runners, and she plans to recruit women between the ages of twenty-five and forty.

Since both the person in charge and the cashier are women, all the people who run the hall can recruit women, and recruit some pungent women. Of course, younger girls can't do it.

It's definitely impossible for her to be the only cook. You have to hire another chef. She can teach dishes that the chef doesn't know.

After all, if Brother Cheng wants to start cooking, it will take two years.

Brother Gong doesn't like to cook. He is clumsy to help Brother Cheng kill fish on weekdays. He has no talent as a cook.

Brother Gong is also about ten years old, but in Xu Qinyu's eyes, he is still a child.

Therefore, the second child who ran the hall did not plan to let Brother Gong come. Of course, Brother Gong was fine on weekdays, so he would definitely stay in the restaurant and hang out with his brother.

Xu Qinyu wrote a notice to recruit people and posted it at the gate of the yard, so that diners who come to buy fish on weekdays can see it.

Most of the diners are people from the nearby alleys, and many people in the family are still alive.

The salary Xu Qinyu gave was eight hundred cents a month.

This salary is already high, but it needs to wash dishes and dishes, so Xu Qinyu plans to hire three people temporarily, and the requirements are also clearly written on it. Women between the ages of 25 and 40, the requirements Physically strong, pungent personality, can bear hardships and stand hard work.

She recruited Paotang to give 800 cents of money, and she also gave out red envelopes on weekdays and festivals, and these were also written on the top.

Just earning 800 cents a month is enough to attract people. Even a man in the family may not be able to earn 800 cents every month.

So when the women in the nearby alleys knew about it, they all scrambled to get this job.

Xu Qinyu was not in a hurry. In the end, only three people were recruited. There was still a month left. She specially wrote down the names, ages, and addresses of the women who signed up.

She plans to look at her character or inquire with the people nearby. Even if she recruits ordinary people, she hopes that the people she recruits will not be the best, but must be practical and capable.

When the fish balls are sold out, Xu Qinyu's list of personnel will be similar, and there are thirty or forty women who have applied for the job in the past two days.

As soon as he called Brother Cheng to take down the stall at the door, Xu Qinyu saw Lin pursing her lips.

Lin was the daughter-in-law of Mrs. Luo, who had eaten Xu Qinyu braised fish before and said it was unpalatable and insisted on refunding her money. She lived at the tail of Guihua Lane.

That old lady not only wanted to eat it for nothing, but also wanted to steal Xu Qinyu's formula, and was finally put together by Xu Qinyu, not only did not learn it, but also lost some money.

After that, Mrs. Luo tried to make peace with her face, but was scared away by Xu Qinyu with a kitchen knife. After that, Mrs. Luo did not dare to come to Xu Qinyu to make trouble.

Of course, a few months later, Xu Qinyu never sold any more fish to Mrs. Luo's family.

Xu Qinyu glanced at Lin.

Only then did Mrs. Lin pluck up the courage to say, "Miss Xu, I also want to go to your restaurant to run a restaurant. I also ask Miss Xu to give me a chance."

"Sorry." Xu Qinyu rejected Lin's directly.

She couldn't give Lin's hope.

Why write down Lin's name now, and it won't work if you write it down later.

Because just doing this would make Mrs. Luo feel that she could take advantage of it, and she didn't want to cause such troubles for herself.

If Lin can reconcile, Xu Qinyu is willing to help her and let her work in the restaurant in the future, but if she can't even take the first step, she can't help her.

As long as she can take the first step, her future life will be completely different.

It is impossible to have a more bleak life than staying in the Luo family.

Sure enough, Lin's face turned pale when he heard these two words.

She pinched her palms and murmured: "I, I see, please trouble Mr. Xu."

Xu Qinyu sighed.

There are still a few days before the opening of Xu Ji Restaurant, Xu Qinyu has nothing else to do, and she is still at ease making a living with stewed sausage and fish.

The stewed fat sausages are sold very well at Tian’s sister-in-law’s stall. They queue up to buy them every day, and they will be gone when they are sold out. As for the fish, at that time, can provide more braised sausages to Tian's sister-in-law's booth.

The sister-in-law of the Xia family knew that her restaurant was going to be installed, so she lent her the pillar so that she could watch the workers in the restaurant every day.

So Xu Qinyu only went to the restaurant for a few days to see the progress.

The pillar is also very attentive in stalking.

Xu Qinyu took the time to marinate a lot of vegetables and even a jar of spicy cabbage.

The shelf life of spicy cabbage is short. After 15 days of fermentation, the restaurant has just opened. This spicy cabbage can be used as a free side dish before serving.

...

After Mrs. Lin returned from Mrs. Xu's house that day, she saw her mother-in-law looking at her expectantly, "How? Can you, little bastard, let you work in her restaurant?"

When Lin heard her calling Miss Xu to be a little bitch, she raised her head and said with a dull face, "Miss Xu is not a bitch, she is very powerful." She had never seen such a powerful little lady, she If only she could be as powerful as Miss Xu, not afraid of anyone, she could scare away such old rascals with a kitchen knife.

Mrs. Luo thought she had heard it wrong, she stared and said, "You, what did you just say?"

"I said, Miss Xu is not a slut, you are, you old rascal is really disgusting!"

Lin didn't know why, she had never had such courage, but at this moment, her mind was full of the figure of Miss Xu who took a kitchen knife and slashed at her mother-in-law's ear.

She was really forced to do nothing by Mrs. Luo.

On weekdays, she went out to help people starch and wash clothes, earning two hundred yuan a month, but her mother-in-law took it away.

In this way, Mrs. Luo still thought that their mother and daughter were eating and drinking for free at Luo's house, and often humiliated and beat them.

This time Mrs. Luo learned that Mrs. Xu was going to open a restaurant, so she scolded Mrs. Xu's eighteen generations of ancestors at home, and finally asked her to go to Mrs. Xu's house for some errands. She would not go there on weekdays, but she needed money too much, so went.

Because last night, she heard Mrs. Luo whispering to her husband Luo Dagen.
