Chapter 178 What would happen if I agreed at that time?
"Miss, don't we still have to prepare things for tomorrow's departure?" It was obvious that Liu was doing this to delay the young lady, Hongling thought angrily.
"It's okay, Yang Biao will handle it. I don't need to prepare it." When Xia Weiwei thought of Yang Biao, she couldn't suppress the smile.
She liked Yang Biao from the bottom of her heart. Every time she saw him, she felt that this man seemed to have a mysterious power, like a breeze blowing through her heart.
"Oh, that's good." Hongling breathed a sigh of relief. Her son-in-law is now a juren. She didn't know why the master and others still didn't like him and didn't allow him to visit.
"Weiwei," Liu went to the inner room, her butt just touched the chair, and she walked out immediately. She didn't want to wait here all the time.
"Mother, do you have an urgent matter?" Xia Weiwei knew what was going on. She put down the account book, placed the abacus, and then walked out of the counter.
"Well, it's already noon. You should accompany your mother to have lunch." Liu looked at the clepsydra and then pulled her out.
"Mom, do you want to eat seafood?" Xia Weiwei remembered the seafood restaurant opened by Yang Biao on Dongzhi Street and prepared to take Liu to try it.
Yang Biao told her that opening a restaurant requires not only understanding the four seasons, but also understanding the tastes of diners, and studying the balance between sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty. In the process of frying, deep-frying, boiling and stir-frying, the "degree" is even more important. One point more will make the food overcooked, and one point less will make it raw.
"My mother is not picky about food, anything is fine with her." As long as she can eat with her daughter, she is willing to eat anything.
"Then I'll take my mother to a place to try it." You are not picky about food, I am embarrassed to say anything to you, Xia Weiwei complained in her heart.
"Okay, then mother will go with her daughter to try the taste." Liu got on the carriage first, then sat on it, waved to her, indicating that she should ride in the same carriage with her.
Xia Weiwei sighed inwardly. Her mother was almost sixty years old, but she was still like a child.
"Shuiqian, have you done any promotion in this restaurant?" Yang Bowen pointed at the plaque on the door that read "Shixian Restaurant" and asked Yang Shuiqian who was walking over.
"I went to their house, but they said that the wine they sell is brewed by the owner himself, and there is no need to buy wine separately." Yang Shuiqian shook his head helplessly. Are all the owners of restaurants in this city so stingy? The wine they sell is brewed by buying the recipe themselves.
"You said that my great-grandfather had proposed that the village open its own restaurant. What would have happened if we had agreed at that time?" He had strongly opposed it at the beginning, but now Yang Bowen regrets it.
"Three taels of wine in the restaurant are more expensive than a jar of our wine. If there was a restaurant in the village, we wouldn't have to promote it everywhere. We could just stay at home and not be tired and make more money." Yang Xiaoniu was a little discouraged. They had been here for more than half a month to promote the business, and business in the capital was not easy.
"Don't just think about those things that don't exist. Now that the weather is getting cooler, our liquor sales are also increasing." There is no point in talking about the past. Now that we are in the capital, we should promote it more and strive to make the village's liquor have a place here.
"Shui Qian, look over there, isn't that Biao Ge'er's wife?" When Yang Bowen was about to turn around and leave, he saw Xia Weiwei and her daughter getting out of the car at the restaurant door and going in to eat.
"Yeah, it really is her." Because the sunlight was dazzling against her eyes, Yang Shuiqian squinted and looked at her for a while, and confirmed that the person he saw was Yang Biao's wife.
"Brother Biao's wife is so beautiful," Yang Xiaoniu exclaimed. This childhood friend's wife is either from the county town or the provincial capital. The temperament and beauty she exudes are different from those young wives in the village.
"Hey, which of his two wives do you think is the wife and which is the concubine?" Although Yang Xiaoniu was not well educated, he knew the laws of the Shang Dynasty that a man could only marry one wife.
"Needless to say, Qin Xiaoran, who was married first, must be the legal wife." Yang Bajin said with a matter-of-fact expression.
"I don't think so. How could a girl from the provincial capital be willing to be someone's concubine?" Yang Shuiqian touched his nose. Xia Weiwei's words and actions clearly showed that she was a daughter of an official. Even if Yang Biao was beautiful and talented, it was impossible for her to be someone's concubine.
"Let's go to Lutu Road to meet up with Keyou and the others and have a meal." This matter has nothing to do with them. Filling their stomachs is more important.
"I'm warning you, you are not allowed to sell alcohol here in the future." When Yang Shuiqian and his companions arrived at Lutu Road, they saw that Yang Keyu and six others had been knocked to the ground by a group of thugs.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Yang Bowen was furious. Is the public security in the capital city so bad? How dare they beat people in the street?
"Are you here to sell alcohol too?" After kicking Yang Keyu and others who were lying on the ground a few more times, the group of thugs came towards Yang Shuiqian and others.
"That's right, we also sell wine." Yang Shuiqian signaled his companions to grab weapons from the donkey cart. Those who dared to attack people from Yangjia Village must not be let off easily.
"Then I'll teach you a lesson first." The group of thugs rushed forward and punched Yang Shuiqian directly.
"Beat you bastards to death," Yang Bowen quickly picked up a stick and ran over, swinging it back, and not forgetting to hand over a stick, "Shui Qian, take it, beat him!"
"Okay, don't hit them just on the head, beat the rest of the body hard to let them know that the people in our Yangjia Village are not so easy to bully." Yang Shuiqian loudly warned everyone not to cause any casualties.
Yang Bowen didn't care about it anymore, but he still remembered not to hit anyone on the head. After all, he came to the city to make money, not to stay in the detention room here.
"Master, when I was buying things just now, I saw people from Yangjia Village on Rutu Road."
Ji Lang had been to Yangjia Village. When Yang Biao beat Yang Zian, it was still in the morning. Most of the young men in the village were at home. They rushed to watch the fun after hearing the news. Therefore, Ji Lang was familiar with Yang Keyu and the others.
"People from Yangjia Village come to Fucheng to sell wine?" The villagers came to Fucheng to promote wine later than he expected. He had just started by clearing out five square meters of land in Fucheng's cloth shop to sell wine, but he knew that the water in the land was very muddy.
"I noticed that their donkey carts were filled with wine jars, so that should be it." Ji Lang only saw people from a distance and did not go up to greet them.
"Have you bought everything you need to go to Beijing?" As for the promotion of the village in the capital, it affected the cheese of the local wineries. He was also a wine seller, so it was not easy for him to come in person. It's better to take care of his own business first, Yang Biao turned around and asked him.
"I have purchased the items according to the list given by the master. All the items have been placed on three newly bought carriages. We can set off early tomorrow morning." Ji Lang was clear about the priorities of the matters.
"Well, now that we have prepared everything, let's go to the government office to ask for help." He had to be quicker, because he knew the gangsters on Ratetu Road too well, and they would not show mercy.
"Sir Cao, I have a group of friends from the village who come to Guangping Prefecture to sell wine. I hope you can take care of them." Yang Biao went directly to the government office and found Cao Qiaoyi to seek help from the City Patrol.
