    The day when Chen Nianguan and others returned to Capital City was a sunny day.

    After asking Xu Da and Xu Er to bring the newly brewed sauce directly to the Chen Family Restaurant on Suchuan Road?????, Chen Nianguan and his wife brought Liu Shi, Xuan Xuan, and Uncle Liu's family back to the new house..

    Looking at the huge "Zhang's House" plaque hanging at the door, Uncle Liu, who arrived in Beijing for the first time, and a group of people walked in cautiously, bypassed the screen wall and entered the outer courtyard, and then entered the inner courtyard through Chuihuamo, watchingTidying up the elegant courtyard, I was so surprised that I couldn't speak for a while.

    Manager Qimu, who received the message in advance and knew that they would arrive in Beijing in the next few days, took care of everything early.

    After they left Beijing, they slowly found four handymen, a groom, a porter, two laundry ladies and three servants.

    According to Chen Nianguan's instructions, not only the mason and carpenter He were hired to renovate the kitchen, but also the wing room where Liu and others lived.

    The main house on the east side is all used by Chen Nianguan and his wife, Liu Shi, Xuan Xuan, Liu Ye, and Liu Yun live in the three main rooms on the west side, Uncle Liu’s family lives in one room in the west wing, and the west wing is given to each other.Liu Qing, Liu Feng and the others kept separate rooms, and the other handymen, grooms and others all lived in the inverted rooms.

    As for Qi Mu himself, he lived in a separate wing in the west outer courtyard.

    So all the people who came to Beijing were settled quickly. During dinner this day, except Liu He who lived in Pinger Village, Liu Qing and Liu Feng all came to the new house to meet their uncles, aunts, and aunts.With my cousin and little cousin.

    Especially Liu Yun, who saw his younger brother, hugged Liu Yan and kept kissing him.

    Not to mention the lively night of the two families, early the next morning, Chen Nianguan and his wife took Mrs. Liu, Uncle Liu and others to the Chen Family Restaurant!

    When Uncle Xu returned to Funing County to see Mrs. Liu, there was no Zhuangyuan Building. Later, Mrs. Liu heard her daughter tell about the origin of the Zhuangyuan Building. Now she witnessed it with her own eyes and was very excited when she saw the pen and ink that was said to be a reward from the current lord.

    My family, Wan Wan, has nothing to say, but I didn't expect this son-in-law to be so powerful. He even got the inscription written by the emperor himself. Even for this plaque, it should be able to attract many customers, right?

    Ask her daughter again, if it is true, Liu can't help boasting to her son-in-law in her heart.

    I really didn't expect that the son-in-law that Wan Wan took a fancy to at the beginning would have such a fortune now.

    Not only did he realize his husband's dream of becoming a Jinshi master in the scientific examination, but he also turned the joke about being the number one scholar into reality. Wan Wan will follow him in the future, so he won't be afraid of suffering.

    When everyone saw Shi Cunqi, entered the box arranged by the shopkeeper Shi Da, and had breakfast together, they couldn't hide their shock.

    There are so many dim sum served in this Chen's restaurant?

    "As long as the ingredients are available, there will be more." Chen Nianguan greeted everyone with a smile, you are welcome, just eat.

    "In the future, if Auntie and Uncle want to come to the restaurant for dinner, they can tell Shopkeeper Shi at any time, and it will be charged to my account."

    "Then how can I do it?" Uncle Liu waved his hands repeatedly.

    Isn't the niece opening this restaurant just to make money?Relying on his uncle's status to come to this restaurant for free, how can he have such face?

    But he still had to pay for it himself, because he also wanted to try the noisy and novel carts he saw when he entered the store just now, and he also wanted to help his niece by the way.

    The same goes for Mrs. Liu and Aunt Liu. As for Xuan Xuan and Liu Ye, they couldn't sit still in the private room and clamored to go to the lobby on the second floor to try it out. It wasn't until Mrs. Liu promised them to come back the next day that they temporarily gave up on this idea.

    After tasting the dim sum at Chen's Restaurant, Chen Nianguan led the crowd around the inner city, then left the inner city and went to Xianggui Street in the outer city.

    Mrs. Liu, Uncle Liu and the others already knew the name of this street from their correspondence, and knew that Chen Nianguan and Liu Qingchu rented here when they first arrived in Beijing.Second, let's take a look at Liu Qing's current situation.

    That Tao Bo knew that it was Dong Liu's family and Master Chen's seniors who came, and when he saw Chen Nianguan and others, he opened the door with a smile and welcomed them in.

    Before reaching the Chuihua Gate, heard the sound of reading aloud inside.

    Uncle Liu knew that the boys in the private school run by his nephew were studying, and his face was overjoyed. After entering the school, he looked at Liu Qing's appearance as a master from the window of the school, and he comforted him.

    Now Zeng Si father and son have left.

    Fan Shilang found a vacancy for a local county magistrate for Zeng Si, and asked him to go out to the grassroots and start from the bottom to accumulate merits, and then slowly seek promotion and transfer back to Beijing in the future. Master Zeng was worried and followed his sonWe took office together.

    So now Liu Qing lives in the main room on the east side, Shi Yanliang lives in the vacated side room, Liu Feng still lives in the original side room, but the main room on the west side is vacant.

    When Liu Qing was resting for the little ones, she came out to see her uncle, uncle and aunt, introduced the current situation of the people in the house, and invited them warmly: "I am not used to living in a new house with my uncle, come to XiangThe same goes for living on Guijie."

    Uncle Liu looked at his promising nephew and nodded with a smile.

    When Xuan Xuan and Liu Ye saw Xiao Erlang who came out of the private school, they were very envious.

    When they were in Funing County, the Liu family hired female teachers for the two of them. Later, when they came to Capital City, the female teachers naturally resigned. If they want to continue to read and write, they have to see if they canPlease come to Master.

    But, my cousin/cousin is a scholar, and now he is a teacher, can you let Brother Liu Qing teach them together?

    After the two little girls whispered to each other, Xuan Xuan went to talk to A Niang about this issue.

    Mrs. Liu was also thinking about finding a new wife for her youngest daughter. Hearing Xuan Xuan's mention, she was very satisfied at the moment.

    But no, Liu Qing is already a teacher, and a scholar, it is better to find another teacher than to ask Liu Qing to teach!

    So Liu immediately asked Liu Qing.

    Liu Qing is naturally willing to teach her younger sister, and now Liu Feng and Liu Yun are still his students. In addition to working in restaurants, Liu Yun usually has to complete the homework assigned by him, and also comes to Xianggui Street in her free timeattend lectures.

    Since Xuan Xuan and Liu Ye are going to study, they naturally cannot learn to read with that little boy who is less than seven years old.

    "The study in the main room to the west was originally used by my cousin-in-law and Zeng Si, and it is still the same now. If you want to come to Xianggui Street to read, then use that study as your class place."

    I heard that it was the study room where my brother-in-law used to study and work hard before taking the number one examination. Xuan Xuan and Liu Ye were very excited. Xuan Xuan even grabbed Liu's cuff and looked at Zhang Yulang and shouted excitedly: "Mother, I have studied in my brother-in-law.You can learn to read characters, and you will come back with a champion in the exam!"

    Everyone laughed immediately!

    I have to tell Xuan Xuan later that there is no precedent for girls in the Zhou Dynasty, but it is a good thing to be ambitious!

    After sitting in the courtyard for a while, seeing the setting sun, Chen Nianguan and Zhang Yulang led everyone back to the Chen's restaurant in the inner city, and returned to the house to rest after dinner.

    On the third day, he took Liu Yan to Ping'er Village outside Capital City.

    Liu He already knew that his uncle and uncle were coming to Capital City, but Ping'er Village was busy with affairs and couldn't get back to Beijing for a while. Seeing them coming now, he greeted them with smiles.

    First of all, after bringing the younger brother over, he handed over the work of the purchase point to the steward and the recruited assistant of the Shi family, and then took the uncle and his party to the house that the three brothers bought in Ping'er Village.

    Uncle Liu only heard in letters that they built a house for their family in a village not far from Capital City, but he still didn't quite believe it. Now, seeing the spacious and tidy house, he was pleasantly surprised.

    The house built in Pinger Village is bigger and more beautiful than the ancestral house in Liujia Village!

    "Just thinking about it, if the uncle's family and the fourth uncle's family are to come, plus the second aunt and the others, the land will be bigger, and the house will naturally be much more spacious." Liu He said with a smile.

    "As expected of a village not far from Capital City, it has beautiful mountains and rivers!" Uncle Liu observed all the way from entering the village.

    The scenery of this village is very good, and the water source is also abundant. It is a treasure land of geomantic omen suitable for settlement.

    "That's not right, uncle, we also bought a lot of land in the village, and now there are more than 100 mu."

    "More than one hundred acres?" Uncle Liu was shocked.

    "My cousin also bought it, but it's all wasteland, and I have to hire workers to open up every acre, and I have to raise the land."

    They are all farmers. Uncle Liu and Liu He chatted about the fields, and the conversation became hotter and hotter. After dinner, Liu He took Uncle Liu and the others to visit the real estate in Ping'er Village and the restaurant dedicated to the Chen family.Supply chicken farm and duck farm.

    Finally, he introduced his private business in Pinger Village: firewood and charcoal.

    "Originally, I hired someone to sell only dry firewood, but then I thought, hey, this is selling dry firewood anyway, and if you burn some charcoal and sell it when the autumn is cool, it will be a living, so I planned to build a furnace.The kiln is specially used for burning charcoal." Liu He said with a smile, touching his head in embarrassment, and then looked at Chen Nianguan: "My cousin also said that our idea is good, and said that when the other side of the restaurant is free, come back and help me seeLook, how do you burn your good charcoal, and when winter comes, you can make a big living."

    "Okay, okay." Uncle Liu looked at Liu He, then at Chen Nianguan, smiling all over his face, looking at the piles of wooden trunks in the yard, and looking at the mountain from a distance, "The trees on the mountain can allLet us cut it?"

    "Yeah, we asked the village chief, this Yanzi Mountain, and that Paoma Mountain are both the private property of a Capital City lord, but that lord has a good heart, let's say, we are not limited to go to the mountain to collect firewood and log..”

    Uncle Liu nodded and sighed, "It's the master in Capital City after all, he's so charitable and generous!"

    Liu Xiaofeng, the master of Capital City, was listening on the sidelines, with his arms crossed, and the corners of his mouth curled up happily.

    No, Mr. Liu is generous to his family!

    After walking around the front and back of Pinger Village, Uncle Liu became happier the more he looked at it. He stayed in Pinger Village at night and slept happily. When he left after breakfast the next day, he still reluctantly said:"Xiaohe, there is so much work, are you busy?"?????

    "Hey, sometimes I'm too busy. Uncle, especially when the wasteland is opened up, I'm not familiar with how to raise it." Liu He heard Uncle Liu's nostalgia, scratched his head and said, "Uncle, what are you going to do here?"Enough playing in Capital City, why don't you come to Ping'er Village and help me?"

    "Hey!" Uncle Liu laughed all of a sudden, and said modestly, "I'll take a look when I go back to Capital City, and I'll think about it when I'm free that day."

    "Okay, uncle, take your time to think about it, we welcome you at any time in Ping'er Village."

    As Liu He said, he handed Liu Yan who was in his arms to Aunt Liu: "Auntie, Xiao Yan will trouble you."

    "Why are you being polite? Don't worry, I will definitely help you raise Xiao Yan'er to a white and fat place."

    Back to Capital City from Pinger Village in a carriage, when Uncle Liu talked about Pinger Village, he couldn't help but laugh.

    Previously, I heard that the three nephews had their own jobs. After all, I heard that it was not as real as what I saw with my own eyes. Now that I see it, my heart is naturally much more at ease.

    It turns out that our Liu family has also built a house so close to Capital City.

    The nephews can be regarded as the first batch of the Liu family to establish a firm foothold in Capital City. Maybe two of the Liu family have taken root like this. Will they become Capital City people in the future?

    This is amazing.

    When you go back to Liujia Village and say it, don't you want to envy others?

    Uncle Liu, with the blood of a farmer, couldn't help feeling a rush of impulse when he saw the fields Liu He introduced to him. He didn't live in the house in the inner city for a few days, so he simply moved to Ping'er Village.up.

    Liu He was in charge of so many jobs, Uncle Liu felt that it would be good if he went to take care of the fields and crops for him!

    He can't help with anything else, but he is familiar with farming.

    Besides, there are houses and houses in Ping'er Village, and living with Liu He is just a good companion!

    Knowing that Uncle Liu can't be idle, everyone let him go, but advised him not to work too hard, so as not to tire himself out, and every time, remember to go back to Capital City to visit them.

    Anyway, Pinger Village is not as far from Capital City as Liujia Village is to Funing County.

    Uncle Liu nodded in agreement, and happily moved to Pinger Village with his aunt and Liu Yan.

    On the second day after Uncle Liu's family moved out, Chen Nianguan took A Niang, Xuan Xuan and Liu Ye to the Grand Buddhist Temple to see the savior.

    This time, Chen Nianguan learned how to behave, and first asked Liu Feng to go to the Grand Buddhist Temple to make an appointment with Master Ming Hai to meet and listen to the Buddha's verses, so when he took his mother all the way to Master Ming Hai's Buddhist temple, he met Master Ming Hai smoothly.

    Mrs. Liu wanted to thank Master Ming Hai for a long time.

    If Master Ming Hai hadn't rescued her back then, I was afraid that my daughter would have disappeared in the morning.

    Reluctantly, at that time, the livelihood was difficult, and she even had to temporarily leave her eldest daughter in the temple to recover from her injuries. After she settled down, Master Ming Hai was no longer in Dafeng Temple.

    The daughter who was taught by him is getting better and better, leading her and her natal family to live a better life day by day.

    Even now, can settle in Capital City, thanks to Master Ming Hai!

    So Mrs. Liu was very devout when she met Master Ming Hai.

    I still think about it, now that the family is considered wealthy, and have a little money to spare, so for the life-saving grace of Master Ming Hai, it is also possible to add some sesame oil money to the Grand Buddhist Temple on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year.

    Anyway, since knowing that it was Master Ming Hai who saved her daughter, the Liu family has been full of respect for the gods and Buddhas. Chen Nianguan didn’t know it in Capital City. Liu’s family in Funing County also began to visit the temple to worship the Buddha.Daughter, the second is to pray for the safety of her and Zhang Yulang who are far away in Capital City.

    Master Ming Hai met Liu Shi and had a good impression of her.

    This is Mrs. Chen's mother. Without this Liu family, there would be no Mrs. Chen.

    Without Mrs. Chen, he would not be able to taste so many delicacies made by Mrs. Chen, and there would be no Chen's restaurant in Capital City where he could satisfy his cravings from time to time.

    What a pity for him who loves food!

    Therefore, Master Ming Hai and Mrs. Liu had a friendly attitude towards each other, and quickly completed a harmonious conversation between the master and the pilgrims. After hearing that Mrs. Liu would often come to the Grand Buddhist Temple to offer incense in the future, Master Ming Hai smiled and twirled his beard to expressWelcome, and personally sent a string of consecrated Buddhist beads to Liu Shi.

    Mrs. Liu accepted it respectfully.

    Afterwards, Chen Nianguan took Mrs. Liu for another stroll around the Grand Buddhist Temple, and then went back happily.

    "Auntie, how is Capital City?" Chen Nianguan asked with a smile while holding Liu's arm.

    "Okay, it's good to have Wan Wan here." Liu Shi also laughed.

    "So, Aniang doesn't regret coming to Capital City?"

    Liu shook her head lightly, "I don't regret it."

    In the past, didn't want to come to Capital City because was afraid that the unfamiliar place would make life difficult, and was afraid of becoming a burden to daughter and son-in-law.

    Now that her daughter owns such a large restaurant in Capital City, and her son-in-law is still an official in Capital City, both have a bright future. As a mother, she is naturally not afraid to make trouble for them.

    "Wan Wan, tell me, what kind of work can Auntie do?" Liu asked.

    Seeing that the business of the restaurant is in full swing, she and Wan Wan have been selling fish curds one by one since the very beginning, and now seeing her daughter make such a big food business, she wants to participate in it too.

    Anyway, have come to Capital City, so it is good to help daughter!

    "Ma'am, what else do you want to do?"

    Chen Nianguan originally planned that Mrs. Liu would stay in the house to enjoy the happiness, and she was not idle. Xuan Xuan and Liu Ye were going to Xianggui Street to go to school, and they had to be picked up every day. It would be good to ask Mrs. Liu to take care of them.

    And in the embroidery room, Mrs. Liu can also be asked to be the steward, handling miscellaneous things like money and silver.

    Chen Nianguan told Mrs. Liu what he said, and Mrs. Liu shook her head: "The embroidering room is done well even if Auntie is not here? It is enough to have Qimu at home. In addition, I sent Xuan Xuan and Liu YeIt doesn’t take much effort to go to Xianggui Street, Auntie still has a lot of free time, Wan Wan, just help Auntie think about it, what else can Auntie do?”

    Not long after my eldest brother came to Capital City, he found a job. Since moving to Pinger Village, Liu has even visited them.

    The elder brother was busy with the farm work in the field, and he did it happily. She was envious when she saw it.

    "Since A Niang said so..." Chen Nianguan thought for a while, and suddenly thought that the weather is getting hotter, and his ice shop is about to open., I have to find someone to take it with me.

    Originally, she planned to transfer a small banker in the restaurant. If A Niang has to work, then it should be okay to help out at the ice shop.

    The business of the ice shop is only three or four months, and the work is leisurely, so there is no need to worry about exhausting my mother.

    Mrs. Liu has never worked in an ice shop before. The year before last, her daughter opened an ice shop in Prefecture City, and she never got involved. When Chen Nianguan asked her to work as a shopkeeper in the ice shop in Zhuangyuan Building, she immediately agreed.The next day, after sending Xuan Xuan and Liu Ye to Xianggui Street, they went to Zhuangyuan Building.

    It was late at this time.

    In order to create the best dining environment, ice cubes have been used in the restaurants. Naturally, the ingredients in the back kitchen also need to be stored at low temperature with ice. The large amount of ice stored in winter is now just in handy.

    When Mrs. Liu came to the first floor of Zhuangyuan Building, she saw Chen Nianguan, Xiao You and the two beasts hanging up the colorful banners of the ice shop, with three big characters on it: "Zhuangyuanbing".

    Isn’t the ice sold in Zhuangyuanlou the Zhuangyuan ice?

    Capital City dares to openly say that the ice it sells is the champion ice, but Chen Nianguan is the only one.

    Moreover, ice is used in Capital City, or in other words, the people who consume the most ice in Capital City are the customers of Chen’s Restaurant, and there is such a nice gimmick as Zhuangyuan ice. I am not afraid that there will be no customers who buy ice at the ice shop.Instead, he was worried that the 6,000 pieces of ice in the ice cellar would not be enough. After the stock was sold out, even his own restaurant might not have enough.

    The two beasts were told by Chen Nianguan that his aunt would come to the ice shop to help, and taught them how to manage the shop and keep accounts, and they all treated Liu respectfully.

    Mrs. Liu has experience in making food, but it is the first time to make an ice shop. She also humbly asked the two beasts how they made a living in Prefecture City, and the two beasts knew everything.

    Seeing that the three of them got along well, Chen Nianguan was relieved, so he went back to Chen's restaurant.

    During the period when Chen Nianguan left Beijing, the female stewardesses in the lobby on the second floor and the large box on the third floor took over the coordinating work and did a great job, and then Fang helped to buy four female waiters for the restaurant.Worried that he would not be there, and the girls in the restaurant would not be able to greet him.

    uh-huh!

    Chen Nianguan looked at the restaurant he built with his own hands, and the little pride in his heart rushed out like bubbles one by one.

    That being the case, can she consider staying in the house every day to lie down with salted fish and collect the money from shopkeeper Shi Da every month?

    Chen Nianguan feels happy when he thinks about the leisure time in the future.

    It's time, it's my turn to enjoy the happiness.

    "Master Chen?"

    Chen Nianguan heard a familiar yet unfamiliar voice, looked up, heh, look, who did she see?

    It turned out to be Li Yuquan, a rich businessman.

    No, Li Yuquan, an old acquaintance and also a partner, poked his head out from the private seat and smiled at her!

    "Master Li, have you come to Capital City too?"

    Chen Nianguan walked over, only to find that Li Yuquan occupied a private seat by himself.

    "Hey, I've been in Capital City for a while!" Li Yuquan looked at Chen Nianguan with a smile, "Oh, it's not easy to see Mrs. Zhuangyuan Lang!"

    It turned out that after Li Yuquan came to Capital City, he had heard about the wonderful stories of the Chen Family Restaurant. After enjoying the service in the Chen Family Restaurant himself, he asked Shi Cunqi to see Master Chen.

    Unfortunately, Chen Nianguan happened to be back in Funing County at that time, so didn't see him.

    After that, Li Yuquan came to Chen's Restaurant from time to time, firstly because he liked the food provided by Chen's Restaurant, and secondly because he was waiting to see Chen Nianguan.

    "Master Chen, do you still remember what I said when I started the Chenjia Pho shop?"

    Chen????? Nian Wan thought for a while, and realized that he really didn't remember what Li Yuquan said, so he shook his head.

    "I said, Master Chen's cooking skills are so good, I want to partner with you to open a restaurant."

    It seems that rich businessman Li once said so.

    Chen Nianguan laughed, but his own restaurant has already opened.

    "So, Master Chen, are you interested in opening another restaurant with me?"
