LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 43 Xiao Jing’s Troubles
Xiao Jing sat at the table in the main room with a gloomy face. He did not expect that his arrival would bring trouble to Yuan Chuyi and make people gossip about her behind her back. He just wants to have more contact with her and know more about her!
He looked at Lou Xingyun sitting opposite him and couldn't help but sigh, "We have caused her a lot of trouble by living here. Let's go back tomorrow!"
Lou Xingyun chuckled, "You must be overthinking it, it's just a child's words! You don't have to take it seriously!"
Xiao Jing sighed, "It's not just the children, I heard many villagers talking about her behind her back today, calling her something... broken shoes!"
Fang Yuanyan also entered the room and sat down below, "What do you want to do?"
Xiao Jing kicked Fang Wufang, "If I know what to do, can I still sit here and sulk?" He looked at the two of them, "After the child in her belly is born, I'm afraid she will be criticized from behind. Yes! What if these people call them wild children? Those are the children of my dignified King An!"
Lou Xingyun chuckled, "Then I'm afraid it can only be solved if Master De marries Mrs. Yuan!"
Xiao Jing rolled his eyes at him, "If I were to suddenly marry a woman back home, I would feel awkward looking at her! Besides, how are we going to get married? If you have any way to get the best of both worlds, think of one!"
"If it doesn't work, just wait until she gives birth to the child and take the child back to Prince An's Mansion to raise him!" Fang Wuyan said.
Lou Xingyun also kicked Fang Wuyan, "You are so cruel! Are you going to kill Mrs. Yuan? She gave birth to that child! How can you bear to separate the child from its mother!"
Xiao Jing and Fang Wuyan suddenly became quiet. You looked at me, I looked at you.
Lou Xingyun thought for a while, "Why don't we make it clear to Mrs. Yuan and see what she means!"
Xiao Jing looked towards the kitchen, "I've known her for so long, and based on my observation and understanding of her, if she knew I was the one who gave her to her... I'm afraid she wouldn't want to see me again in the future!"
"No way, Mrs. Yuan is such a nice person!" Fang Wuyan felt that Yuan Chuyi's personality was very gentle and approachable.
Xiao Jing sighed, "She is a woman who is soft on the outside but strong on the inside!"
Lou Xingyun raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Jing inscrutably. When did his father want to get to know a woman? Something's wrong!
The three people were worrying, and a strange and appetizing fragrance came. The three of them sniffed, stood up, and looked for the scent. As soon as they left the room, they saw Yuan Chuyi coming out with a soup pot and setting it on the already prepared dining table.
"Master Xiao, dinner is ready!" Yuan Chu greeted the three of them with a smile as soon as he saw them standing by the door, and then shouted to the village chief who was busy watching the roasted whole lamb, "Uncle, dinner is ready! Don't you guys?" You’re busy, come and sit down!”
"What kind of soup are you making? I'm getting hungry just from the smell! Get me a bowl!" Xiao Jing, who was still full of melancholy just now, smelled the fragrance and seemed to have forgotten all the troubles he had just had!
Lou Xingyun looked at the man Baba ran to the table and asked Yuan Niang to serve him soup, and silently rolled his eyes at him! Who said just now that he felt awkward in front of her? Why didn't he feel awkward in front of the food?
In the end, he came to the conclusion that his father was a foodie!
As expected, Xiao Jing took the soup bowl handed over by Yuan Chu Yi and started drinking while greeting the village chief and others to sit down. He couldn't help but look at Yuan Chu Yi and praised, "It's delicious! What kind of soup is this?" ?What’s your name?”
At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, while serving soup for others, he replied, "The stew of pork belly and pheasant is commonly called pig belly chicken. A more elegant name is called Phoenix Reincarnation!"
"What a good craftsmanship! Much better than the craftsmanship of the cooks in my house!" Xiao Jing said, looking at Yuan Chuyi, "How about you open a restaurant, I will pay for it, and you will take care of it. Any losses will be mine, and the profits will be mine." How about we split it 50-50?"
Yuan Chuyi was very surprised, and the village chief and others were also surprised. They all looked at Yuan Chu Yi with disbelief on their faces. Just a bowl of soup made Mr. Xiao invest money to open a shop? Is this soup really that delicious?
Seeing Xiao Jing eating with gusto, the village chief and others also picked up their bowls and started drinking at his greeting.
After eating a bowl of soup, their whole bodies were warmed up and their appetites were stimulated. They all couldn't help but praise, "This soup is delicious, and the pork belly and chicken are also delicious! I'm afraid this is what people often call delicious food." !”
"Ms. Yuan, if you open a restaurant and use this dish as your signature dish, your business will definitely be booming!" the village chief laughed.
"Yeah, and there's that barbecue. Even if you don't open a restaurant, you can still make money just selling barbecue!"
Yuan Chuyi pursed his lips and smiled elegantly, "Thank you for your affirmation. When my restaurant really opens in the future, everyone must support me more!"
Yuan Chuyi had long had the idea of opening a restaurant, but her restaurant was not to be opened in the city, but at the entrance of their village. She originally thought about building an inn there to provide food and accommodation for guests, so she bought all the land at the entrance of the village.
However, opening an inn is a big investment. It can't be built with a few hundred taels of silver. It will cost at least a thousand taels of silver! So she bought the land first, circled the plot, and opened an inn in the future when she had enough money.
Although Xiao Jing's proposal made her excited, she didn't want to rely on his investment to start her own business. Just like what he said last night, if everything had to do with him, if he really committed a crime in the future, she would have nothing! She also had younger siblings and two children to support, so she had to prepare a way out for them!
Although Yuan Chuyi was not very excited about cooperating with Xiao Jing to open a restaurant, Xiao Jing's proposal had already shocked the village chief and others. He saw the value and potential of Yuan Chuyi from Xiao Jing's proposal. He made up his mind that if Yuan Chuyi did something in the future, he would follow him.
After the village chief figured it out, he was in a good mood. He looked at Xiao Jing as if he were seeing a financial sponsor, so he led the villagers to toast Xiao Jing. Xiao Jing would not refuse a drink, and he would fight with them till the end. He was like a man who could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. When the village chief and the others were drunk, he was still awake, leisurely eating the roasted whole roasted on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty. sheep.
The excitement of the Yuan family attracted many people from the village. Not only the children, but also the adults were attracted by the smell of barbecue. Fortunately, there were a lot of barbecues, and everyone who came could eat a few skewers. It was not until the hour of the day that people saw that it was already dark, and then they dispersed one after another.
After tonight's gathering, Yuan Chuyi saw the people she hired. Not only were the fifteen families familiar with each other, but they were also familiar with the villagers. Some of the families were of marriageable age, and some were even getting married. intention.
Seeing that the hired workers could integrate into the village, Yuan Chuyi felt that tonight's barbecue feast was really worth it. After the villagers dispersed, she thanked Xiao Jing who was still sitting in the yard watching the moon. Xiao Jing looked at her and said, "I have something to tell you."
