Chapter 41
So the next day, the three of them set out early in the morning.
They first went to Li's house and sent over the velvet flower materials they had accumulated, and then picked some materials at their silk and satin shop.
It's been almost a year since Fu Qingshan passed away. After one year, their family's filial piety no longer needs to be as strict as it is now. For example, they can wear brighter clothes. Although bright red and purple are still not allowed to be worn, Fu Rong can wear light pink, light yellow, etc.
Instead of being like now, everything except gray is blue.
Because I bought a lot, I didn’t take it away right away, but planned to pick it up when I went back. As for the lunch invitation from the Li family, they also declined because the family planned to have lunch at Fugui Restaurant.
On the way to Fugui Restaurant, he also passed by a medical clinic. Fu Wenyu immediately took his family in and asked the doctor to check their pulse. Fortunately, the whole family was healthy.
In Fugui Restaurant, as soon as Fu Wenyu sat down, he asked them to bring the signature vegetarian dishes, "By the way, can your vegetarian dishes be made into mutton flavor?"
The waiter groaned, obviously not expecting the customer to ask such a question.
Fu Wenyu reminded, "It's what you have published in Liuzhou tabloids before. 'Sheep's hoof bamboo shoots', 'Wine-steamed sheep', 'Five-flavored apricot cheese sheep', etc., can they be made into these flavors?"
Ever since he saw these names in the tabloids, he had always wanted to try what they tasted like and whether they were as delicious as the descriptions.
The waiter said: "Sir, there are thirty or forty ways to prepare mutton in the world. Our Fugui Restaurant knows 12 of them, including deep-frying, stir-frying, stewing, and boiling honey and jelly, but the one you mentioned is vegetarian. The meat doesn’t taste like mutton. ”
Ordinary people would not ask for such a commission!
Fu Wenyu was disappointed, "That's it..."
He also thought that vegetarian meat could be made into mutton, beef, and chicken flavors like modern times. To be honest, he still wants to eat meat, especially now that he has not eaten meat for nearly a year.
However, eating meat is not necessary. Considering that he has replaced the original owner's life, it is also necessary to help him observe filial piety. The original owner truly respected his father and was deeply saddened by his death for countless days and nights. And besides Fu Qingshan, there is also the original owner.
Keeping filial piety to them, father and son, is a kind of comfort to my heart. When he was burning paper money during the Chinese New Year this year, he silently recited the name and birthday of the original owner in his mind, hoping that if reincarnation really happened, he would be able to receive the paper money.
But Mrs. Zhou misunderstood. After the waiter left, she whispered: "Wen Yu, if you want to eat meat, we will buy some when you go home later. Your father loves you two the most, even if he knows I won’t blame you.”
She would not order it in public because she was worried about being seen.
Fu Wenyu shook his head, "Mom, I'm just asking casually. Because I read in the book that a good vegetarian cook can make tofu and mushrooms taste like meat, so I was a little curious. As for eating meat, during the period of mourning, I will not I know how to eat, and I’m still thinking about getting a merit degree in the future. Although dad won’t blame me, I can’t leave anyone’s mouth, otherwise it will be a crime in a few decades.”
Then he turned to look at Fu Rong, "Sister, do you want to eat mutton?"
"If you want to eat, we will pack a portion and take it home later, and give half to grandfather." When others asked about it, they would say that it was all for Fu Dashi. Fu Dashi did not need to keep filial piety to his son.
Fu Rong shook her head, "I miss dad too." The implication was that she also wanted to honor her father and not eat meat.
Fu Wenyu touched her head and added two more delicious dishes.
While eating and drinking, several young men sat down at the table next to them.
One person asked out of curiosity: "Hey, why don't you see Brother You?"
Then another voice that was somewhat familiar to Fu Wenyu said: "Don't ask, Brother You is worried, how can he have time to drink outside?"
But after saying this, others became even more curious, so they asked one after another: "Brother You, has something happened? Brother Li, don't hide it. We are all friends for many years. If Brother You needs help, we will I can also help."
"Yes, yes, that's the truth."
"Tell me about it."
"What happened? Maybe he is sick. I know a doctor with good medical skills in Jiangzhou. Send someone to ask for him now. He will arrive tomorrow night."
"No, no," the 'Brother Li' whom Fu Wenyu had met at the teahouse sighed and said, "That's all, you don't know about it today, but you will hear about it in a few days."
"Something happened at Brother You's house!"
Everyone exclaimed, "Something happened at home, what happened?"
"No, I went to Youjia's antique shop yesterday to buy something. The shopkeeper and the guys were all there. It didn't look like there was something wrong with the business."
"It's not about business," Brother Li said with a hard-to-speak expression, "You know Li Cha, right? He is Li Cha, Li Lei's younger brother, from the storybook "Legend of the Divine Eye"."
"I know, I'm the one who doesn't talk well."
"Well, according to what Mr. Fu wrote in the storybook, it seems like this is called 'Tea Talk'."
"Yes, yes, 'Tea Talk Tea Talk'!"
"Although I don't quite understand it, I always feel that this word is inexplicably appropriate."
"No, Mr. Fu is really insightful!" Brother Li patted the table excitedly, "When Li Cha first appeared, I didn't want to see him. I always felt that he was weird, and he was full of little family spirit, which was even more so. Go against Li Lei."
"But I didn't expect Mr. Fu to be so prescient."
"Brother You also has 'Li Cha' at home!"
"Besides, he talks over tea every day. As time goes by, Brother You will become just like Li Lei before, unpopular with Master You."
Others asked in surprise: "Who is it?"
Brother Li said in a deep voice: "It's his stepmother and cousin!"
"Brother You felt something was wrong when he saw Li Cha before. Then yesterday, when he saw the conversation between Li Lei and the old man, his expression suddenly changed. Without saying a word, he dropped the tabloid and rushed to the ground. He ran out. Worried that something might happen to him, I chased him, only to find that he had a quarrel with his stepmother and wanted to break off the engagement. "
"Oh, by the way, his family has arranged for him to be his stepmother's niece. The niece has been living in his house for two or three years under the pretext of accompanying his aunt. During these two or three years, the girl often used ' "Chayanchayu" is about running against Brother You's concubine sister."
"That cousin is also a 'Li Cha'!"
The men were startled, "It's another 'Li Cha'. Doesn't that mean there are two 'Li Cha's in Brother You's family? One of them is his future wife? What kind of luck does Brother You have?" "
"Brother You is so unlucky!"
"So what's going on now?"
"They're still arguing," Brother Li shook his head, "Brother You wants to break off the engagement, but Mr. You and his stepmother don't agree, so Brother You probably won't go out to drink for a long time, and if he does, he'll be drunk."
"Brother You is so pitiful..."
Fu Wenyu felt the same way. He really didn't expect that VVIP "Brother You" would have two "Li Cha" around him, one of whom was his fiancée.
No wonder there was something wrong with his expression that day. It was obvious that he had struggled internally for a long time during this period, and finally finally came to his senses through the conversation between Li Lei and the old man. Fortunately, he came to his senses, otherwise life would definitely be difficult in the future.
Zhou and Fu Rong also heard the conversation between those people. They had also read the storybook written by Fu Wenyu, and they were among the first readers.
So at this time, Fu Rong lowered her voice and said with bright eyes: "Brother, they are talking about the storybook you wrote, Li Lei and Li Cha."
"Yes, hurry up and eat."
Fu Wenyu gave her a piece of food with chopsticks and ignored the table next to her. The most important thing for him to do at this time is to stay silent and work more.
But in the end, he couldn't finish the meal properly.
Because halfway through the meal, a man ran in with an excited expression and loudly said to his companions: "What else are you eating?!"
"Have you ever heard of the story "Legend of the Divine Eye"? Now it has become a reality!"
"Get up and find the stone!"
"Wang Po, Wang Po from Chen County picked up a stone from the roadside. It was originally used to press the pickle jar at home, but now she cut it out. No, it smashed out a piece of jade, which was about the same size as her head. A big piece of jade!”
"It's exactly the same as Mr. Li's story in the storybook!"
The man was dancing and his face was red with excitement, "That piece of jade was sold for five hundred taels of silver, five hundred taels!!"
"Get rich, she got rich!!!"
"Everyone in Chen County has gone out to pick up stones now. Grab your things and follow me. Let's go pick up stones together!!!"
As soon as the words fell, all the guests who understood what he meant were stunned. Some even opened their mouths and could not recover for a long time. Not long after, the atmosphere in the entire Fugui Restaurant began to boil, just like pouring a large spoonful of water into a hot pot!
In the storybook of "Legend of the Divine Eye", Mr. Li bought a big stone from someone, and the storybook said that the person picked up the big stone on the roadside. In the end, a piece of jade half a man's height was cut out of the big stone. Someone offered fifteen thousand taels of silver, but Mr. Li didn't sell it.
In reality, Mrs. Wang of Chen County also picked up a stone from the roadside. No matter what she intended to use the stone for, it turned out that there was jade in the stone. It was as big as a human head and she sold it for five hundred taels of silver. !
In other words, Liuzhou tabloid's words were revealed in a way that no one expected.
It's true again.
