That day, after Si Sheng and others left the Li family's shop, Li Liangjia's sister-in-law Zhang, not caring that Wan Xiaoguang was still there, immediately said that she could not use the kitchen and asked Li Liangjia to rent out the kitchen together with the shop.

Li Liangjia disagreed, so Mrs. Zhang made a fuss with him and said she would never step into the kitchen again. Ms. Zhang kept her promise and from then on she never went into the kitchen again. Even the meal that day was cooked on the porch with a small charcoal stove.

.

Not only that, Mrs. Zhang also cried in front of Wan Xiaoguang, saying that if Li Liangjia persisted in not renting out the kitchen and shop together, she would go back to her parents' home and never come back.

Mrs. Zhang's parents have passed away. There are only two brothers in her natal family. The two brothers are quarreling over the separation of the family. If the widowed Mrs. Zhang returns to her natal family, how can her two brothers tolerate her?

Never had a good life.

Li Liangjia was so troubled by Mrs. Zhang that she had no choice but to reluctantly agree to her request.

It happened that the Wan family contracted the work of building the wall here, so he followed Wan Xiaoguang to work, hoping to find an opportunity to ask Si Sheng about renting a shop.

Si Sheng asked: "You have been here these two days. What will happen to the shop? Is it closed for business?"

Li Liangjia was a little embarrassed, and Wan Xiaoguang said: "Her sister-in-law said that if the shop is not rented out, she will stop making sesame cakes."

It turns out that Zhang's went on strike, and without the sesame cakes, the shop couldn't open.

Li Liangjia confirmed with Si Sheng again: "Ye Xiucai, the other day you said that you all use women to make snacks in your kitchen, is that true?"

Li Liangjia was still thinking about Mr. Zhang, and Si Sheng affirmed: "Yes, all the people working in our kitchen are women."

Si Sheng and Li Liangjia stood behind the sugar workshop and talked for another half-quarter of an hour. Finally, the matter of renting the shop was basically settled. They agreed to wait for the wall to be completed and go to Li's shop to sign the contract three days later.

The matter of the sugar workshop and the renting of the snack shop came to light, and Si Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

But he can't completely relax yet. There is still a lot of work to be done in preparation for opening the shop and starting the sugar workshop: manpower arrangements, material procurement and preparation, skills training, etc. all need to be implemented one by one.

Si Sheng finally arranged everything and wanted to talk to Suxue about something. Suddenly, he heard the noise of children coming from behind the Ye family camp.

Suxue must be there, Si Sheng quickened his pace.

After turning around the thatched house, I saw a group of children playing behind the sugar workshop. Some of them were jumping and shouting "Yummy", and some were playing and chasing each other, as if they were fighting for something.

Si Sheng's hand unconsciously touched his forehead. During this period, he was only busy with making money and had no time to teach them. These children were playing crazy.

Yong'an saw Si Sheng first, ran to him quickly and said, "Dad, try it, these are biscuits baked by my sister and brother."

Seeing this, Xiaoni and others also gathered around, raised their arms and shouted: "Uncle Fourth, the biscuits are delicious, I'll give you mine too."

Si Sheng took a small biscuit the size of a copper coin and put it into his mouth. He nodded with satisfaction and asked Suxue and Wang Zeran who were walking behind him: "Is this baked in an oven?"

Suxue smiled and said: "Well, I baked it successfully in one go, but there is no milk, so the taste is not strong enough."

Si Sheng said happily: "There is no milk, but it tastes good. It can be considered a new product." He added: "Milk is too scarce in this era, so don't expect to use it to make snacks."

Si Sheng asked Yong An and Xiao Ni to play nearby, and said to Suxue and Wang Zeran: "You two, don't just play, think about the decoration and layout of the dim sum shop, draw some renderings, and let everyone take a look at it."

Give me your opinion."

The three of them exchanged general ideas about the decoration. Si Sheng stood up and said, "I'm thinking that after signing the contract, the shop will be given a maximum of ten days to decorate, and it will open in ten days. Don't make it too complicated for the two of you."

After Si Sheng finished speaking, he ignored Suxue's wailing and walked away. He had to talk to Lu Youqing.

Lu Youqing has been busy these days. After seeing Hong Yaxin off in the morning, he did not go to work in the fields.

At this moment, he was sitting in front of the thatched house, staring at Lu Wang with a straight face.

The basin filled with water stood obediently opposite him.

"You're flat, the water has spilled out, and you've lost all your energy just now? Where did your fighting spirit go?"

Seeing Si Sheng approaching, Lu Wang called out for help: "Cousin uncle."

When Lu Youqing heard this, he quickly stood up and said with a smile: "My sister-in-law is here, come and sit down."

Si Sheng pointed at Lu Wang and asked Lu Youqing, "Is he practicing?"

Lu Zaiqing turned around and shouted to Lu Wang: "What are you looking at? Go and stand facing the horse pen."

Lu Wang sighed in grievance at Si Sheng, carefully held up the basin, walked slowly a few feet away, and indeed stood facing the two horses.

Lu Youqing then said to Si Sheng: "The brat is so angry that he has learned two tricks and used them to deal with women and children. If he is not allowed to reflect on it, he will not realize his mistakes."

Is Lu Wang being punished for the fight he had with the villagers a few days ago? Lu Youqing was not at home when this happened. He has time to settle old scores today.

However, Lu Wang's performance in this matter was still remarkable. Si Sheng wanted to praise him a few words, but Lu Youqing was educating his children, so he couldn't say much.

Si Sheng sat opposite Lu Youqing and said, "Cousin Lu, I came here to discuss the children's studies with you."

When Lu Youqing heard this, he asked with great interest: "Oh? What does my sister-in-law want to say?"

Si Sheng said with some shame: "In the past, when we were fleeing from the desert, we held literacy classes and gathered the children to teach them. Under such difficult conditions, the adults in each family were able to make time for the children and let them

Reading and literacy.

Now that we have settled down and the conditions are gradually getting better, I don’t have time to teach them, so I let the children play around in this wonderful time.”

Si Sheng glanced at Lu Wang and continued: "It's a trivial matter for them to go out to fight, but it's a big deal for them to delay their future. Especially since there are some good young people here, like Wang Xiaozi, Niu Heng, and Lu Wang.

If they are trained well, they will be very successful in the future, whether they take the imperial examination or do other things. If they are just left alone, they will be wasted, and it will be a shame to delay the children."

Lu Youqing sat up straight and looked at Si Sheng intently, "If my sister-in-law has any ideas, just tell me."

Seeing Lu Youqing's serious look, Si Sheng said frankly: "I originally wanted to send them out to study, but I went to the village and asked around. There is only a private school in Yanbei Village nearby, and there is only one old scholar there who teaches some basic skills.
