To say that it's running out of water is an exaggeration.

In fact, it almost went into the water.

And it was deliberately set on fire.

The arsonist was a man named Liu Zi, who was supposed to be a guy hired by the restaurant, someone hired by Dong Shi's family.

It is said that last night, the six sons sneaked into the newly renovated restaurant, sneaking around, but they were caught by the guards staying behind in the backyard.

When he was discovered, Liu Zi was holding the fire folder in his hand, and there was a can of kerosene at his feet. What is there to explain this scene?Proper people get stolen goods.

So early this morning, the guard sent someone to inform Shi Dong's family, and then Cang Monan, who lives in the inner city, happened to be free, so he came to have a look. Then he found out about this, and went to Xianggui Street to inform Chen Nianguan.

When Chen Nianguan arrived at the backyard of the restaurant, Shi Cunqi also arrived.

Shi Cunqi's face turned dark when he learned that the people he had hired were trying to burn down his newly built restaurant.

Since he was assigned the responsibility of recruiting manpower, Shi Cunqi has always looked for reliable jobs, especially those who lost their jobs because of their own reasons.a handful.

This six sons met when he went to recruit a former buddy, Wang Wu.

I didn't intend to recruit him at first, but when Wang Wu came over later, he brought him along and asked him if he wanted someone else.

After inquiring, found out that Liu Zi had just been dismissed by Yueman Building, and the reason was that he said a good word to Shi Erye, which made the shopkeeper angry, so he was dismissed.

Shi Cunqi saw that he had worked in Yueman Building, had experience, and was introduced by Wang Wu. He thought it would be no problem, so he recruited people in, but he didn't expect that something like this would happen today.

All of them present had no holiday with Liu Zi, why did he choose to burn down the restaurant in the dark night of the winter solstice when there were few people?

There is only one answer.

Shi Cunqi didn't say anything, Chen Nianguan and Cang Monan both guessed it.

Yueman Building, Uncle Shi.

Just like cutting off their food supply before, Uncle Shi saw the restaurant being built this time, so he made a ruthless move and planned to destroy it?

After questioning Liu Zi, Liu Zi was tight-lipped, and only said that he couldn't see it, he didn't like this restaurant, and he wanted to burn it down, everyone had no choice but to report to the government directly.

"Shi Dong's family, you have to sift through those guys you invited back."

It was a false alarm, Cang Monan reminded Shi Cunqi like this, Shi Cunqi repeatedly said yes.

Because of his own reasons, the new restaurant opened by Mrs. Chen was targeted by her elder brother, and was blocked one after another, making Shi Cunqi feel guilty.I'm afraid you have to be careful.

To save my elder brother from using any tricks to sabotage the smooth opening of Mrs. Chen's new restaurant.

"However, it's okay this time. It's because Shi Dong's family hired more guards yesterday, otherwise this catastrophe will not pass." Chen Nianguan was talking, and the guard who captured the sixth son came over. Chen Nianguan looked at him at first glance.It looked a little familiar, and before she could ask, Si Ya on the side exclaimed in surprise: "Uncle Xu, it's you!"

Uncle Xu was obviously also very surprised to meet Si Ya again, and his face was wrinkled with a smile: "Yeah, I didn't expect to see Si Ya again, what a coincidence."

Not really.

I just met Yang Jishan in a sack before, and met him again after turning a corner. If it wasn't fate, how could meet again?

As a hero who saved the restaurant from disaster, Chen Nianguan naturally has to thank Uncle Xu very much.

How can thank you?Just right, didn't Yueman Building send a guy over to burn her restaurant?

Let's go to Yueman Building, firstly to have a good meeting with Uncle Shi, secondly, to treat Uncle Xu and others to have a good meal, and let Si Ya and Uncle Xu have a good chat about old times.

So, a group of people dragged the six sons to Yueman Building in a big way.

As soon as the big shopkeeper saw the six sons, he knew something was wrong?????, his face darkened, and then he immediately came out with a smile: "Oh, isn't this Mrs. Chen? And Erye Shi, you come tooLah, are you here to help our Yueman Building?"

"That's right, it's here to help your Yueman Building."

Chen Nianguan smiled and asked Xiao You to drag the six sons to the front of the big shopkeeper. The big shopkeeper had to take two steps back and still smiled: "Since you are here to help our Yueman Building, you are naturally welcome. Why don't we go to the second class?"Shall we talk in the elegant room?"

"No need, we'll eat in the lobby on the first floor, Si Ya, take Uncle Xu to find a place with a good view, and order first."

"Okay, boss." Si Ya smiled and led Uncle Xu and a few guards to find the desk.

"Miss Chen, then..."

"Stop talking nonsense, call my brother." Shi Cunqi glared at the shopkeeper and ordered.

"Oh, Second Master, it's almost New Year's Eve, and our boss is too busy with things. Today, I'm not here." The big shopkeeper shook his head, expressing his embarrassment.

"It's okay, since he's not here, I'll tell the shopkeeper directly, this guy who used to work in your Yueman Building, Liu Zi, was caught trying to set fire to the restaurant we just built, soI just want to talk to you Yueman Building, and I want to ask, is it because you fired these six sons because of his evil intentions?"

Chen Nianguan hula brought a group of people in, which alarmed the diners in the lobby. Although those customers didn't know Chen Nianguan, they knew Shi Cunqi.

The former second owner of Yueman Building, how could the regular customers of Yueman Building not know about it?

After the death of Mr. Shi, Shi Erdong's family was separated. Seeing him kill him at this time, he thought it was a good show, and many people gathered around.

After Si Ya went inside to find a case and sat down at the case table, the troublemaker came to ask to understand, and Si Ya had already told everything about today.

The guy who was fired by Yueman Building was hired by Erye's newly opened restaurant. Then, on the winter solstice, the guy wanted to set fire to the new restaurant, and then Erye found Yueman Building to find the uncle.

Hey, you are all understanding people, what else is there that you don't understand about this posture?

The second master opened a restaurant, but the uncle tried to target him, so the second master brought his buddies to the door to ask the teacher for punishment!

So, everyone became interested. At this time, they all looked at the big shopkeeper and saw what the big shopkeeper had to say.

"Hey, Mrs. Chen, you also know that these six sons made some mistakes and were fired by our Yueman Building. As for whether their intentions were right or not, we didn't know at that time." The big shopkeeper glanced at the six sons before pretending to apologizeLooking at Chen Nianguan, "As for the fact that he dared to set fire, it's also surprising, Mrs. Chen, there is nothing to lose, right?"

As long as the six sons don't open their mouths, Yueman Building won't be involved. See what's going on between Mrs. Chen and Master Shi?

"Okay, let's regard it as our luck to find out this disaster." Chen Nianguan knew that what he said was unfounded, and he came to Yueman Building this time, but he was also angry that Mr. Shi was such a villain, who kept stumbling behind his back, and came to warnOn his side, by the way, he showed it to the diners of Yueman Building, so he had a good idea.

"However, I'd like to trouble the shopkeeper to tell Dadong Shi that you walk a lot at night and you will always encounter evil spirits. If you still plan to trample on the riverside of our new restaurant, be careful of our Chen's restaurant."Cut off your wet feet."

The shopkeeper's eyelids twitched, and he responded with a smile: "Of course, of course, I will definitely tell our boss. Miss Chen, didn't you say you want to have a feast? Come, come, your table is here, sit down, I'll call the guys to greet you."

Chen Nianwan was angry, but in order to dissuade the shopkeeper, he ordered the six sons to be taken to Jingzhao Mansion, then went to sit at the table made by Siya, and ate a meal angrily.

When the diners around came to inquire about the new restaurant, he smiled, and then made a wave of publicity for his own restaurant on Suchuan Road. Seeing that the face of the big shopkeeper became ugly to the naked eye, he spit out the bad breath in his heart.

After seeing Chen Nianguan taking the table, the big shopkeeper sent someone to send a message to Uncle Shi who was at home.

"waste!"

Shi Cunshan heard that the six sons who had sneaked in were caught out, and they were also taken to Yueman Building by Da Lala. This clearly tells everyone that the accident in the new restaurant has something to do with his Yueman Building?

Although, it is true that he has something to do with him, but how can he fail in doing things and be exposed?

Seeing a small steamer in his hand, Shi Cunshan fell hard to the ground, stretched out his feet and stomped it to pieces.

"Grandfather?"

Ever since Shi Cunshan knew that his second brother was preparing for a new restaurant, he has been on guard, and even sent someone to watch every move on Suchuan Road.

He naturally knew that after he cut off their supply source, Shi Cunqi took advantage of the 100-acre fertile land that he had allocated to him, as well as the movement of Ping'er Village, Shi Cunshan had noticed.

He's a clever guy, he made his own supply source if he didn't have a source of supply, if he had known today, he wouldn't have given Shi Cunqi the fields near Ping'er Village in the first place.

The restaurant on Suchuan Road has been rebuilt. I heard that they bought the shop next door. What kind of building do they want to build? Seeing that his second brother is about to make a comeback, Shi Cunshan was so hard-hearted that he ordered the six sons who got in as a clerk to burn down the new restaurant..

Destroy the restaurant and see if Shi Cunqi can open the restaurant.

In the end, the restaurant didn't burn down, but the real culprit was dragged to Yueman Building and beaten in the face.

The hatred in Shi Cunshan's heart.

"Go, go to the official office and show me Liu Zi, don't let him say anything he shouldn't say!"

"Master, don't worry, the sixth son received such a large amount of money, if you say it, he let go of it long before sending it to the official office."

Shi Cunshan heaved a sigh of relief, lowered his head, and saw the bamboo steamer that had been crushed by himself.

Since he sent people to watch Shi Cunqi, he would also send people to watch Mrs. Chen. Before Master Cang met that Uncle Mao on Xianggui Street, they were talking about how Mrs. Chen cooked the stove for roasting ducks.I heard it.

Shi Cunshan scoffed, who would believe such an absurd method of building stoves?

This small steamer was also sent by the guy who was sent to watch Xianggui Road. After investigation, Mrs. Chen sent someone to find a bamboo craftsman and made hundreds of this small steamer.

Judging by the posture, I am afraid that this steamer is also one of the cooking utensils in their restaurant.

How is that used?

The man stole two more than the bamboo craftsman and brought them back. After studying them for a long time, he speculated that they were used to steam small snacks.

Therefore, Shi Cunqi dared to open a restaurant and relied on it because of Mrs. Chen, a cooking utensil he had never seen before?

The roast duck oven is the same, and the method of making rice noodles is also the same, all of which use unique cooking utensils.

After bought the hor fun recipe before, if didn't know how to make the steamer and the nest, would never have thought of using such cooking utensils anyway.

It seems that Mrs. Chen really has a lot of skills.

Shi Cunshan finds it tricky, after all, cooking utensils that have never been seen before means new food that has never been seen before.

If Shi Cunqi really used the new restaurant to gain a firm foothold in Capital City, where would he put the face of Yueman Building that expelled him?

Shi Cunshan's eyes were dim.

Let Shi Cunqi succeed, wouldn't it prove that his elder brother is not as good as his second brother?Where is his face?

No, absolutely cannot let this restaurant open smoothly.

Besides, in Yueman Building, Shi Cunqi was thanking Uncle Xu.

Uncle Xu is one of the four guards that Shi Cunqi went to the Escort temporarily to hire when he saw that the restaurant and shop were empty yesterday, but isn’t Uncle Xu a member of the Escort in Si Ya’s hometown county?How can you stay in the escort agency of Capital City?

After careful questioning, found out that Uncle Xu took a trip to the capital city for the escort, and the time he arrived in the capital city was the day when he met them a while ago, and Houhai Road was closed due to the weather, so he had to go back in a heavy snow dayIt took more than two months to go back by land, so gave up plan to go back years ago, and instead found an escort agency to place orders and do some odd jobs.

No, it just happened to take Shi Cunqi's job.

The one who came with him to serve as a guard for the restaurant was also the companion of their escort team.

"That's good, Mr. Xu, why don't you stop being a dart, and work for Chen Dong's family like us?" Si Ya warmly invited, "Chen Dong's family is doing well, and there are delicious and fun things to do with her., the wages are still high.”

Uncle Xu laughed hahaha.

Chen Nianguan was praised, and without any embarrassment, he smiled at Uncle Xu.

So many guards didn't find out that the six sons were doing bad things, but Uncle Xu was alert and found out. If such a capable escort, if she can really work for herself, she will be welcomed by no one!

It just depends on what Uncle Xu thinks.

Uncle Xu said to think about it.

After returning to Xianggui Street, Chen Nianguan especially inquired about Uncle Xu.

Knowing that Uncle Xu is an old bachelor, he traveled all over the world since he was a child, then met some strange people, learned some kung fu, and then chose to walk the darts because he can go all over the place.

"Then you still let him be my guard?"

"Uncle Xu is getting old, and his legs are not as sharp as before. The elder master and the second master both told Uncle Xu to let him be responsible for staying in the escort agency to train manpower, but Uncle Xu refused." Si Ya said, "It must be the elderThe master and the second master are too embarrassing to deduct money from Mr. Xu, so Mr. Xu refuses. The elder master and the second master are so stingy..."

Si Yababa talked about the stinginess of the elder master and the second master in the escort agency, and then said to Chen Nianguan, "Mr.Retirement, but there is no Capital City, okay, it just so happens that the owner of your restaurant is an important person, isn't it just right to find Uncle Xu?"

Come on, it turned out that Si Ya was looking for a nursing home for Uncle Xu.

"You found Uncle Xu, then the two apprentices of Uncle Xu must have come to work for you!"

"Uncle Xu still has apprentices?"

"Yes, I saw it, they are all there!"

It turned out to be two of the four guards!Now Chen Nianguan understood.

It's not bad to be able to drag two with one, but Brother Xiao You is also able to drag one with one?????!

But it doesn't matter what Si Ya said, and what Chen Nianguan said doesn't count. Only Uncle Xu has the final say. If Uncle Xu doesn't speak, Chen Nianguan won't force it.

Si Ya was not discouraged, anyway, Uncle Xu and his party planned to stay in Capital City before the New Year's Eve, and now she followed Master Chen to the store, seeing people every day, asking every day, and one day she would get the result.

After more than ten days of hard work, the original shop was demolished, the foundation was laid, and even the first floor was half built.

Seeing that the day is coming to the 24th of the new year, all the households in Capital City are on vacation, shopping, and are busy preparing for the New Year's Eve. Chen Nianguan called all the craftsmen and announced that they will take a rest and wait until the sixth day after the New Year's Eve.Come back to work again.

Afterwards, two beasts were called to settle wages for everyone, and bonuses were paid according to performance, so that everyone would have a good year and be motivated to do work for Master Chen after the year.

Everyone was very happy when they got the coins. After thanking Master Chen one by one, they happily went home to prepare for the New Year's Eve.

However, Carpenter He and his two apprentices stayed behind, as did the two beasts, a group of masons left behind with a lot of money, and some homeless idlers.

He Carpenter and the two beasts are staying at Xianggui Street anyway, and there is nothing to do. Qimu is in charge of preparing the New Year's ceremony, and Liu Yun and so many cooks are preparing the New Year's food, so they will also be idle uncles when they go back., So chose to continue working until the 28th year.

As for those idle guys, if they continue to work, they can still earn money, food and housing, so they are naturally willing to work, so the rest of the small team just put their heads down and worked hard.

After a while, the two beasts came to complain to Chen Nianguan. It was cold and the ground was freezing, and digging the ice cellar was labor-intensive.

Now that there are fewer people, the progress will slow down.

How about doing it some other time?

Certainly not, Chen Nianguan also hopes that the ice cellar will be built before the dog days, otherwise, when the ground is not frozen and then excavated, the ice has melted, and you still need to dig wool?

And now that she is in Capital City, she can't find a rich businessman from Li to provide her with fairy powder!

"But now everyone in Capital City is on vacation, so we can't find anyone."

And most of these idle guys who stayed behind were built for buildings.

Chen Nianwan felt helpless after thinking about it, while Si Ya was eager to try, "Master, we have great strength, how about I come?"

That's right, Si Ya has great strength, so if she were to dig it, it might be twice the result with half the effort!

"Also, Uncle Xu and his two apprentices can also do this job."

Not only Uncle Xu and his two apprentices can do this job, but also the guards invited by the Escort Bureau can do this job!

Anyway, they also live in the guard restaurant in the backyard, the two next door, very convenient!

So Chen Nianguan paid a lot of money to hire Uncle Xu and other escorts to build the ice cellar, five taels of silver per person, until the second and eighth of the new year, and continued to start work on the third day of the new year, and ten taels of silver per person until the twelfth year of the new year, soEveryone agreed.

Because they were originally not foreigners, or they were young men who cook alone and feed the whole family. It would be good if they could earn more money.

In this way, under the command of the two beasts, it was a joy to work, Si Ya was even stronger, one person could support three people, and as a result, the construction of the ice cellar was progressing rapidly.

When he saw the perfect structure of the underground ice cellar, Uncle Xu was amazed. He touched the wall of the cellar that had been built ahead, looked at the stable roof of the cellar, and asked the two stewards, "Who designed this ice cellar?"of?"

"Our boss!" The two beasts replied.

Si Ya also nodded, and told Uncle Xu about building a similar ice cellar in Fucheng, and by the way, said Mr. Chen's many great achievements, after which Uncle Xu fell silent.

Can't tell, that little lady has such a great ability.

Uncle Xu's two apprentices listened to Si Ya talk about all kinds of delicacies made by Mr. Chen, and they had dinner together again and again, and they were so envious that their eyes were red with envy.

Why is Si Ya so lucky?For a boss with such a good craftsmanship!

Master didn't mean to find a place to live a stable life, I think it would be good to follow this Master Chen.

Or, to persuade the master, let's stay in Capital City?

The two apprentices made eye contact, and decided to talk more about the benefits of staying in Capital City to their masters in the future!

After entering the winter solstice, the construction work at the other end of Pinger Village basically stopped.

When Liu He came back to Xianggui Street, he went to inspect the chicken farm and duck shed every now and then, and spent the rest of the time helping his sister make jerky in sauce.

That's right, Chen's Jerky Sauce is about to come out again!

Since Chen Nianguan gave Liu Yun the title of chef, and entrusted her with the responsibility of managing the family's food and training reserve cooks, Liu Yun has put in extra effort.

Not long after he came to Capital City, Liu Yun made a batch of preserved meat by himself.

After all, he is a culinary expert that Chen Nianguan is optimistic about, and he only needs to teach it once. As for the jerky in sauce, do you need to talk about it?

When my cousin made oyster sauce for the first time, she was there to help. It was she who taught the aunt and fourth aunt in Liujia Village how to make oyster sauce.

What's more, they don't need to boil oyster sauce now, some cousins brought some, and some Liu He brought some, so for Liu Yun, making sauced pork jerky is even more soggy!

So after entering December, Liu Yun took the reserve cooks to make jerky with sauce.

Jerky with sauce that can be sold in Funing County and Prefecture City, there is no reason why it cannot be sold in Capital City!

Coupled with the abundance of money and manpower today, Lu Yun led six reserve cooks, and once they did it, there would be a large number of them.

Well, the time is up now, the sauce jerky has been made, where can sell it?

Liu Yun went to her dear cousin to find a solution.

Chen Nianguan clapped his hands, yes, the Chinese New Year is such a good business opportunity to make money, how can we let it go?

During the annual household sweeps, both Funing County and Prefecture City can make her earn a hundred taels of money to become a little rich woman. There are so many rich people in Capital City, how can they let them go?

So, Chen Nianguan went to find Cang Monan.

Do you have any shops that are temporarily unused during the winter season? Can you rent them to me for a short period of two or three days?

After finding out what Chen Nianguan was for, Cang Monan didn't have a suitable store, so he got in touch and introduced Miss Qian Liu from the rice grain store.

The rice grain shop of Ms. Qian Liu's family is also booming at the moment. After all, every family has to stock up on goods during the New Year's Eve. Fortunately, there is enough rations during the cat winter.

Ms. Qianliu was delighted to receive the down clothes made to order from Chen Nianguan, and she rented a small stall next to the rice store to Chen Nianguan.

Chen Nianguan It looks like the size will be good, and the location is also very good.

The rice and grain shop of the Qian family is located in a bustling commercial market, and there are many customers coming and going to purchase for the New Year's Eve, and there are a lot of customers, and all the stewards of big families come to prepare for the New Year's ceremony. There are unlimited business opportunities here.what!

So thanked Miss Qian Liu, paid the rent for six days, and asked Liu He and Liu Yun to bring someone over to tidy it up and prepare to sell it.

When the two siblings, Liu He Liu Yun, went to clean up the shop, Chen Nianguan went to his dear husband for help.

Even if it's a temporary store, it can't be without a trick, right?

The signboard of Chenjiajiang Jerky in Funing County also had to be rewritten, after all, this is the anti-counterfeiting label of Chenjia products!

"Husband?"

"My husband understands." Zhang Erlang understood as soon as he heard that Liu He and Liu Yun were going to sell jerky with sauce in Capital City.

Because never thought that would be able to do the job of selling jerky with sauce, so didn't prepare a seal, so before asked Carpenter He to engrave the seal, Zhang Erlang had to write some ink on the oil paper package.

Zhang Erlang readily accepted.

It has been a long time since he wrote the signboard of "Funing County Chenjia Sauce Jerky". Thinking about it, I really miss it.

At that time, I didn't have much money on me, and Wan Wan even said that she wrote a penny for every word!

At that time, I had no fame, but now I am a master of Juren, a word is worth more than a penny, right?

"Master Juren, how much do you think a word of yours is worth?" Chen Nianguan approached Zhang Erlang, looked up at him and asked.

Itchy skin, it's own husband, and have to bargain for a price for writing two words for wife?

Zhang Erlang understood the meaning in his wife's eyes, and pinched her chin with a smile, "Just, one word, one kiss?"

Chen Nianguan also couldn't help laughing, thought for a while, and nodded.

"Then you have to write carefully, and then calculate clearly!"

"That's natural. I've figured it out before I settle accounts with my wife every night."

"uh-huh!"

Chen Nianguan stood up, leaving Zhang Erlang alone to work in the study.

Zhang Erlang took the stack of oil paper bags with a smile and began to sharpen the ink before he began to write on them seriously. Seeing Zeng Si also walk in, and seeing that Zhang Erlang was not doing his job properly, tsk tsk, "YouDo you still have time for this?"

"What the lady told me must be done first."

Zeng Si looked at the Funing County Jerky Sauce written by Zhang Erlang with a brush, and remembered the time when he drove Zhang Erlang to Yanlai Lane to buy jerky sauce, and laughed uncontrollably, "Let me help you!"As he spoke, he reached for the oil paper bag.

Zhang Erlang quickly pressed on the oil paper bag with sharp eyes and hands.

"Zhang Er?"

"No, I can write the signboards for these oiled paper bags myself."

What are you kidding?

Wan Wan said that his pen and ink are the signature of the Chen family, so what's the point of writing to Zeng Si?

Besides, this word is worth a kiss from Wan Wan. He has written it four times, so he has lost a lot of kisses?

No no no, absolutely not.

Zeng Sibai glanced at Zhang Erlang, retracted his hand, then went to his desk, sat down, and picked up the scroll.

Want to help but still refuse to help?

Rare!

Then he raised his head and glanced at Zhang Erlang, who looked proud, clicked his tongue twice, and turned his body with the scroll in his hand. How happy he was to be exploited by his own wife?

Zeng Si said that he didn't see or see.
