Chapter 3 Song Captou

As for cooking with fat, Chu Yunmeng believed that with the shrewdness of the shopkeepers at Yingdu Restaurant, they would be able to guess a thing or two quickly through spying. Although these would have an impact on her, they would never pose a fatal threat.

Because she had the upper hand.

When they notice the clues, it will not be easy to have the same taste as hers.

And she has further improved the cooking utensils, improved the cooking methods, and moved on.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunmeng felt relieved, pushed the trolley, and continued to the rice grain area.

In the rice grain area, she bought thirty catties of rice, thirty catties of soybeans, and thirty catties of black beans, mung beans, and red beans, for a total of eighteen silver cloth coins.

Looking at the few coins left, Chu Yunmeng felt a little anxious. There were so many things to prepare, but there was not much money left.

In order to reduce the burden, she temporarily stored the cart in Qian's shop that sold her rice grains. After asking for directions, she went straight to the shop that sold dry goods.

The dry goods store was not far from the rice and grain store, and Chu Yunmeng quickly found it.

Here she bought five kilograms each of peach kernels, chestnuts, and red dates, spending a total of six silver cloth coins.

After searching around again, I finally found a shop selling dried vegetables and found dried sunflower seeds.

When I asked about the price, it was so expensive that I could only buy two kilograms of dried sunflower seeds with one silver cloth coin.

Without exception, before leaving each store, Chu Yunmeng would announce to the store owners that "Yunmengju on Lihua Lane in the east of the city will open in two days." Each time, he received a smiling response from the other party.

Chu Yunmeng didn't care whether it was a polite smile, a sincere smile, or a perfunctory smile.

She believed that the seeds were planted today, and when someone mentions it to them again in the future, their curiosity will definitely drive them to Yunmengju to find out.

Carrying large and small bags, Chu Yunmeng slowly moved towards the rice and grain store where her trolley was stored.

The forty-two kilograms of goods were still a bit heavy for Chu Yunmeng's small body. What's more, her purse had just been emptied, and she couldn't walk briskly.

Put the newly purchased goods on the cart, which is already piled as high as a hill.

The nearly two hundred kilograms of goods, even with the help of a small cart, are still a bit difficult for Chu Yunmeng's body.

Before going out, Chu Yunmeng originally planned to leave some money to hire someone to help push the goods home, but who would have thought that the cost would still exceed the estimate. There was only one silver cloth coin left, but there were a lot of things to do, so he could only grit his teeth.

Hard on.

Then a strange scene suddenly appeared in Nanshi:

I saw a cart piled as high as a hill, automatically moving forward without anyone pushing it. It was trembling and hesitant, like a drunkard; from time to time it bumped into people next to it.

Those people looked surprised and sighed, "Maybe the cart has become a spirit", and hurriedly scurried aside when they were hit by the cart.

A good man never suffers immediate losses. Considering the weight of the goods above, being hit is no small matter.

And when they stepped aside, they immediately understood the truth——

This doesn't mean he has become a master at pushing the cart. The person pushing the cart is obviously as thin as a hemp pole, and his figure is blocked by the cargo as high as a mountain.

At this time, Chu Yunmeng was indeed as thin as a stick.

Like most Chu girls, she has a slender waist and not much flesh on her arms and legs. The only face that is still round and has a little baby fat is also hidden in the scarf at this time and cannot be seen.

Fortunately, after these people understood the truth, they all understood the numb Chu Yunmeng and did not care about her. Otherwise, she would have been beaten and scolded so many times along the way.

But in the end something happened.

It was still not bright at this time. The sun was hiding below the horizon, shy and unwilling to show its face; only the light on the horizon gradually changed from thick black to light blue.

In Nanshi, where businesses opened early and the lights were bright, Chu Yunmeng's sight was pretty good. Even if he occasionally bumped into someone, he was safe due to the quick reactions of both parties.

But when she left Nanshi, there was only dim skylight, and she couldn't see if there was anyone in front of her. She could only rely on her feelings and gritted her teeth to push the cart forward.

On a cold morning, not many people would be walking around. But the trucks carrying night fragrance and transporting vegetables to the market are indispensable.

Perhaps because he was too focused on how to balance the cart, Chu Yunmeng didn't even notice when he was about to collide with a Yexiang cart.

However, the big man pushing the night fragrance cart noticed it in time and quickly tilted the front of the cart to avoid a direct collision. Otherwise, all Chu Yunmeng's ingredients would be wasted, and all the money he spent would be wasted.

After the front of the Yexiang cart avoided it, the rear of the cart still had enough energy to inevitably impact Chu Yunmeng's cart.

The originally trembling cart was in danger under the impact of this residual force.

The goods as high as a hill were shaking and about to fall in all directions; even the trolley lost its strength in Chu Yunmeng's hands and was about to fall to the side.

At this moment, a pair of strong hands held the cart and the cargo bag above it, and the cart stabilized.

"I'll do it." A deep voice sounded like a man in his early twenties.

Chu Yunmeng breathed a sigh of relief, looked up, and saw a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes looking at him, his eyes full of sincerity.

She lowered her voice and thanked her softly, then pushed the cart back and put her hand on the ground to steady her weight, then let go of her hand and made a gesture of invitation.

"Where are they going to be transported to?" the young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes continued to ask.

"Lihua Lane in the east of the city." After saying that, Chu Yunmeng walked in front to guide him.

It is best not to say a word on the way, nor to talk too much, so as not to disturb the other person's breathing rhythm and increase the burden on the other person.

So Chu Yunmeng simply asked for the other person's name and identity and stopped talking.

After asking, I found out that the person she met was actually Mr. Song from the Chengyin Mansion. He met her because he was patrolling the surrounding area.

It seems that he is a good official with a warm heart and does practical things for the people. Chu Yunmeng nodded inwardly, and couldn't help but have a better impression of Song Captou.

Soon we arrived at the house where Chu Yunmeng lived.

After Chu Yunmeng called Song Captou to push the cart into the courtyard, he quickly called him into the hall to prepare tea.

Perhaps he had just finished physical work and was indeed thirsty and tired. Song Captou did not refuse, but Shi Shiran and Chu Yunmeng entered the living room.

After Chu Yunmeng boiled a pot of hot water, he immediately carried it into the hall and washed it with the boiling water that had been cooled down. When the water was warm, he poured a cup for Song Captou, who had just returned from the surrounding area.

.

"Drink a cup to warm your stomach. It's really cold today." Chu Yunmeng said as he handed it over.

"In such a cold weather, it's not easy for a girl to transport so much goods by herself." Song Captou did not answer the conversation, but opened up another topic.

Chu Yunmeng was shocked at first. She didn't expect that even though she tried to hide it, she still couldn't hide her identity from the other person's eyes. He could tell her identity as a woman at a glance.

"I have no choice but to make a living, no matter how cold it is, I have to go. Didn't Captain Song come to inspect early in the morning..." Chu Yunmeng seemed to not understand the underlying meaning and pretended to be helpless.

"Is the girl planning to open a restaurant?" Song Captou had just returned from the front hall, and with the pile of rice he had purchased, it was not difficult to guess this.

But he still had doubts: "But this restaurant is very different from the others. The decoration is completely different from other restaurants, and the seats are very few. Aren't you afraid of losing money?"

Chu Yunmeng smiled: "Restaurants pay attention to their own characteristics, just like everyone else, how can they run a business? As for whether it will make a loss or not, when the restaurant opens, Mr. Song will come to support him? I'll give you a minimum

Discount."
