Chapter 32: Duck

On the second day of the restaurant’s opening, as expected by Shen Yanbei, more guests came to the door than yesterday. Many people listened to the guests who came to try the food yesterday, and deliberately took advantage of the last day of the special offer to try the breakfast food in this restaurant is really so delicious.
Shen Yanbei and Gu Changfeng did not sit in the private room upstairs this time, but chose a corner seat.
A pot of hot porridge, a few cages of dim sum, the two ate their breakfast slowly, listening to the chatter of the customers next to them.
"Hey, have you heard that?" The man in the front seat was full of gloat. "The eldest son of Li Yuanwai, Li Sheng, and his friend, the friend of the Wang family, hit a ghost last night!"
"Hit a ghost? Hit a female ghost?" The middle-aged man opposite him laughed teasingly. "Which woman who had bullied him before turned into a ghost came to him for revenge?"
"What are you talking about? Early in the morning!" The thin man with his mouth full of dissatisfaction next to the man said unsatisfiedly.
The old man who slowly drank the porridge answered, "It's not that you hit a female ghost, that 80% is because you have committed too many sins and have been punished."
"This makes sense!" The middle-aged man took it seriously, and stuffed a shrimp dumpling in his mouth with a very enjoyable expression.
"Hey, don't guess and listen to me!" The man who provoked the topic was not busy eating. He stretched out his chopsticks and put the last piece of steamed ribs in a bowl.
"Hurry up!" Shouzi glared at him, retracted his chopsticks, turned his head and clamped the meatballs.
"Last night, when Elder Huang, who was the watchman, was patrolling the street, he saw two people lying upright on the ground in the alley, but he was terrified! He courageously stepped forward to see that it was Li Sheng and Wang. Cheng! Reach out to your nose, hey, the two of you are still angry!" The man said in a cadence, his rich expressions and exaggerated gestures resembled an experienced storyteller.
The guests at the table looked over curiously, their ears erected.
"Brother Huang breathed a sigh of relief, smelling the heavy alcohol on the two of them, thinking that the two of them must have had a happy life in Hualou!" The man paused and continued, "Brother Huang is afraid of these two If someone lies in this deep alley and sleeps overnight, something will happen, so he kindly wakes them up. Guess what?"
The man spoke happily, and the place where he paused was very appetizing.
"What about the storyteller? Hurry up!" urged others.
Seeing everyone staring at him eagerly, the man said with satisfaction: "Then Li Sheng knelt on the ground while pulling Brother Huang's trousers, crying, crying, and howling: Good man forgive me! This shock made Brother Huang's clappers drop! "
"And that Wang Cheng woke up, yelled for help and hurriedly got up from the ground as if being chased by a dog, and ran away. As a result, his eyes were not good and he hit the wall with his head!" The man "hissed" and raised his eyebrows. "Dizzy again! "
The crowd laughed loudly. The man was very proud and glanced at everyone: "This is really embarrassing to Brother Huang, so he hurriedly called the two families to come over. Then Li Shenghou was very scared and said that someone was going to murder him. He was going to report to an official. When Wang Cheng woke up, he said to his family in horror that someone stood behind him to kill him, and he was also clamoring to report to an official."
"But this is strange!" The man gave a hammer and asked everyone, "I want to murder you and kill you, but you two are not alive and kicking?"
"Yes!"
"It must be a bad thing to do too much, there is a ghost in my heart!"
The man nodded with deep approval: "This member Li must have thought so in his heart. He immediately reprimanded the two of them not to mess around anymore, saying that their clothes were intact and there were no signs of injuries on their bodies. They must have been drunk and drunk. The two are not allowed to talk about this anymore."
"Li Sheng and Wang Cheng couldn't. They had to go back to each house. The Li Mansion invited a doctor over this morning, and the Wang family also asked him to find a doctor. Hey, the two of them fell ill together!"
"Deserve it!"
Good things do not go out, bad things spread thousands of miles. This county is not big, and there are only a few that have a reputation. What was going on in the house immediately spread to everyone, and in a blink of an eye it became people’s talk.
Shen Yanbei took a sip of tea and looked up at Gu Changfeng, who looked a little embarrassed on the opposite side, and chuckled lightly: "It seems that these two people have done bad things and committed public anger. You can be regarded as a sigh for everyone.
Gu Changfeng didn't speak, his face turned red.
"Deserve it!" Someone snorted suddenly. Shen Yan Beixun passed the prestige, and found that it was the round-faced boy who was speaking on the street yesterday. It was the round-faced boy standing in front of him.
The shop Xiaoer apologized: "I'm really sorry, the guest officer, the private room on the second floor is full, and there is no room downstairs. You two have to wait a bit."
Su Qingze looked around and unexpectedly met Shen Yanbei's gaze. Shen Yanbei smiled politely, the young man was slightly surprised, his eyes fell on Gu Changfeng's body, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Shen Yanbei: "..."
Su Qingze walked over quickly, his fleshy round face was full of smiles: "Brother, we meet again!"
Gu Changfeng was also a little surprised, and nodded to him. Su Qingze smiled brightly: "Can I put together a table?"
When Ming An saw his situation, he knew that his old problems had committed again, and hurriedly persuaded: "This is not so good, Master, let's pack the snacks back and eat!"
Su Qingze ignored him. He only looked at Gu Changfeng. Gu Changfeng and Shen Yanbei looked at each other. Shen Yanbei smiled and said, "We've already eaten, you just sit down."
After speaking, they both got up and gave up their positions. Xiao Er hurriedly cleared the table.
Su Qingze was a little disappointed, and looked at Gu Changfeng eagerly. Ming An was afraid that he would ask questions again, and quickly thanked both Shen Yanbei.
Shen Yanbei smiled slightly and pulled Gu Changfeng out. The scorching sight of Gu Changfeng didn't disappear until he walked out of the lobby.
"Why does he want to be like me?" Gu Changfeng couldn't understand Su Qingze's thoughts.
"It looks good!" Shen Yanbei stared at him and smiled. People rely on clothes, horses and saddles, and Gu Changfeng wears a tailored indigo gown with a bee arms and waist. It is tall and mighty, handsome!
Gu Changfeng's ears were hot, but he said softly. Shen Yanbei was stunned. Although a man would still be shy, his eyes were calm, and he obviously no longer cared about his body as usual.
Shen Yanbei was secretly overjoyed and smiled more comfortably.
On the third day of the restaurant’s opening, the passenger flow was significantly smaller. The guys breathed a sigh of relief and cheered up to greet the guests. The shopkeeper had told them early that the customers who come to the door today are probably the ones who will come frequently in the future, so you must not neglect. It is a decent thing to be the guys of the Tongfu restaurant now, and the owner is generous, they also hope to do it for a long time, so they work hard when they work.
A few days later, the restaurant business gradually got on the right track, and Shen Yanbei settled the accounts, excluding the principal and labor, he made about two to three hundred taels of silver in a month.
Consumption in small counties is not high, and this income is already very good.
With a stable income, Shen Yanbei breathed a sigh of relief, handed the restaurant to the shopkeeper and returned to Shenjiacun with Gu Changfeng.
"Master, you are back!" Zhou Yu said in surprise when he saw the two returning home.
Since becoming Shen Yanbei's book boy, Zhou Yu took the initiative to change his name to Shen Yanbei. Suddenly he was divided into classes, and Shen Yanbei was not used to it. But everyone looked like a matter of course, and he was not good at expressing his opinions.
"Thanks for your hard work." It has been several days since I went out, and Zhou Yu is looking after everything at home.
Zhou Yu scratched his head: "No hard work, no hard work." Whether he is Gu Changfeng’s apprentice or Shen Yanbei’s book boy, he takes care of them for granted, and even a half-old kid like him does it. There is no money-making work, most of which are just helping the family, but he is different, because Shen Yanbei gave him monthly money!
There is no need to pay tuition and there are subsidies for learning arts, which he can't even imagine!
"Did you practice your basic skills well these few days?" Gu Changfeng asked.
Zhou Yu hurriedly replied: "Some masters, I insist on taking an hour's horse step every day!"
Gu Changfeng nodded, and Shen Yanbei smiled and said, "Well, since we are all back, let the children go to the party." He said that he took the snacks he brought back from the restaurant to Zhou Yu: "Take it back to Yu Please try it, you can come back tomorrow."
"Thank you, son!" Zhou Yu took the snack, his eyes astringent. Yu Po is getting older, her health is getting worse, her teeth and appetite are not good. But the dim sum that he brought home from Shen Yanbei last time, Yu Po liked it very much, and said that he was filial and always left the delicious ones to her.
"Go." Shen Yanbei patted him on the shoulder.
When the teenager left, Shen Yanbei hugged humanity and said: "I'm finally home, I'm still comfortable at home!" At least the bed at home is big and wide enough for the two big men to roll over!
Gu Changfeng said in agreement. The county is indeed busier than the village, but this is his home.
After tidying up things a bit, the two went to the fields to take a look. I met people in the village on the road, and they all laughed and teased Shen Yanbei: Are you back? The playful eyes made Shen Yanbei a little confused, but he still responded with a smile.
Apart from Zhou Yu and Shen Laifu about opening a restaurant in the county seat, only the village chief knew about it. If they are not at home these few days, someone will come to ask, and they don't know how Zhou Yu told people.
The fields are thriving, and the crops are growing well. The seedlings have grown to a height of half a meter, and the small fry in the fields have grown a thick finger.
It was time to put down the ducklings, so Shen Yanbei asked to send the ducklings he ordered.
There are a lot of ducks to be stocked in the eight-mu paddy field, and the duck sellers picked up four big baskets and walked into Shenjia Village. The basket was full of quacky ducklings. The furry and cute appearance caused the children in the village to scream and laugh all the way to Shen Yanbei's house to watch the fun.
It was heard that this was a duck bought by Shen Yanbei, and many people came to watch.
"Shen Yan, why are you buying so many ducklings?" Aunt Li asked the doubts in her heart for everyone.
"Raise ducks." Shen Yanbei carefully inspected the ducks he sent over, and satisfied the payment. These little ducks are big and sturdy, and all of them are crying vigorously, which is pretty good.
"Raising ducks?" Aunt Li was taken aback, and she glanced at the yard of Shen Yanbei's family. "With so many ducks, where can your family keep it?"
Shen Yanbei smiled and said, "Don't let it go, let it go in the fields." With so many ducks in the backyard, a single duck can be killed by noise. Even if you don’t get noisy to death, you will be smoked to death by the smell!
Aunt Li's eyes widened, thinking she had heard it wrong, she couldn't help raising her voice: "Put it in the field? Put it in your home?"
Shen Yanbei nodded. What he is doing now is fish, rice and duck symbiosis ecological breeding. The paddy field of his house is at the very end, and he built some wooden sheds on the side. The ducks are kept in the paddy field during the day and stay in the shed at night.
Hearing that, Aunt Li had a weird expression, she looked at Shen Yanbei as if she was a fool: "You don't stock fish in your farm? If you put ducks in, can you not eat the fish?"
Raising fish in a paddy field is unheard of. Everyone is waiting to see Shen Yanbei's joke. Unexpectedly, this joke was not regarded as a joke, but he saw another joke that was even more funny!
Immediately a young man sneered and said, "Shen Xiucai, don't you remember that you put fish in your farm? Hahaha..."
Shen Yanbei smiled without saying a word. Before the results came out, it would be meaningless to say more.
"Shen Yan, you're a scholar who reads honestly. You have spoiled the land like this. Are you worthy of your parents? Why don't you rent the land out!" A voice said in a strange way.
Everyone saw that it was Shen Youcai. Shen Youcai looked at the little ducks and said unclearly, "This thing costs a few cents apiece. You bought so much and spent a lot of money? In case of accident, wouldn't all the money be lost?"
"Uncle Lao Youcai is worried." Shen Yanbei said with a smile, "I went to worship my parents on Ching Ming Festival and asked them what they meant. They told me to do it without worry. They watched me from the sky. Bless me."
Shen Youcai's face suddenly hard to look.
"Shen Yan, you have so many ducks, give two to your uncle?" The husband of Shen's second family looked at the fluffy ducklings with enthusiasm. The five ducklings that Shen Yanbei bought in the front now all have white hairs. It seems that they can be slaughtered and eaten in two months. This growth rate is much faster than raising chickens!
Aunt Li smiled and looked at him: "The little duck is six pennies apiece. It doesn't charge you for running errands for the sake of the same village, and it will be bought for you at the original price. Do you want one or two?"
These words reminded everyone of someone who asked Shen Yanbei for a pair of little chicken cubs and ducklings a few days ago, and the gaze looking at the second house of Shen's house couldn't help but be subtle.
Such a cute and pitiful woman can't ask for two ducks. Where is your old pair's confidence and Shen Xiu will send you?
The second son of Shen's family also remembered this, his old face flushed red, and he gave Aunt Li a fiercely.
Under the gazes of everyone gloating at a good show or questioning and concerned, Shen Yanbei waved his hand and drove the ducks into the field.
The ducklings who have just entered the water are swimming in the seedlings in a novel way, quacking happily, just like a fish in water.
