Every year after winter comes, the farm work in the fields gradually becomes less and less.
Especially after the ground is frozen hard, there will be no farm work to do.
It is a rare break for farmers after a hard year.
This winter is not like last year, with severe disasters followed by severe winter.
Since the beginning of spring, many diligent farmers have been busy.
Those who had no hope at all, at the end of spring, because of Zhang Bao's reforms in Sanhe County, everyone was divided.
Those who hurried and hurried slowly finally planted various crops on the tail of the solar term.
After working hard for more than half a year, I finally showed my beauty during the autumn harvest.
This winter has made me feel more at ease.
The smoke of fireworks in the village gradually became thicker, and people visiting each other made the villages lively.
Compared to the excitement in the village.
The city of Sanhe County is becoming increasingly prosperous.
Since Zhang Bao took over the entire four county governments of Heyang County, he has increased the trade interaction between the four counties.
Due to its high mountains and dense forests, Sanhe County has a lot of game. It also attracts many buyers with its various kinds of animal skins and game.
With the arrival of outsiders, it will naturally drive business in restaurants, inns and other areas.
After winter.
Business at Yueyan Restaurant is particularly booming.
When the weather gets cooler in late autumn, Yueyan Restaurant sets up hot pot.
People queuing up to try it all crowded onto the street next door.
The rules of Yueyan Restaurant are first come, first served.
Fortunately, with Zhang Bao's prestige, the dignitaries in Sanhe County did not dare to be too presumptuous.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for ordinary people to try something new.
During this time.
Zhang Bao also came back several times.
Seeing such a booming business, I simply bought the clothing store next to Yueyan Restaurant that was about to close down at twice the price.
The area of Yueyan Restaurant was suddenly doubled.
Now in the entire restaurant, only Su Xiaoyue, Li Daniu's family, Sister Hu and Xiao Cui are here.
Zhang Bao still stayed in Shanqian County. After all, Shanqian County had just been captured and Zhang Bao was needed to take charge.
Su Xiaoyue originally wanted to take care of Zhang Bao in Shanqian County, but she fell ill for some unknown reason after winter. Zhang Bao couldn't bear her traveling back and forth, so he temporarily let her stay in Sanhe County.
Erile also followed him to Shanqian County, and originally wanted Sister-in-law Hu to follow him, but Sister-in-law Hu still felt that she was used to staying in Sanhe County, so she stayed.
Lao He worked as a fair-weather county magistrate in Hehe County.
Hu Dugu went out to track down the governor, but there was no news.
In the past, when we were short of food and clothing, we could still get together. Now that we are richer, we have many things to do, so it is rare to get together.
Early this morning, Yueyan Restaurant started to get busy.
Xiao Cui opened the door early and cleaned the floor at the door to be spotless. In almost a year, Xiao Cui has grown a lot taller, and her originally thin body is now rounder.
Before noon, many customers came in one after another.
Xiao Cui quickly led these people to sit inside.
It's strange to say.
Although the area of Yueyan Restaurant has doubled, Su Xiaoyue is still busy with Xiaocui and the three children of the Li family.
Both Su Xiaoyue and Xiaocui are very attentive and discerning.
They often give the guests what they need without waiting for them to ask.
Recently, Su Xiaoyue's health was not good, so she took over from Sister Hu at the counter and settled accounts.
In addition, we recruited several handy elder sisters from the county government to help.
Although everyone was busy, they were orderly.
It was approaching noon, and the entire Yueyan Restaurant was almost full of customers.
At this time.
A man who looked like a young gentleman came in with a tall man.
After hearing that there were no private rooms, I didn't mind and found a table in the corner of the hall and sat down.
Seeing this, Xiaocui walked over quickly.
He handed over a small jar of wine.
"Is this your first time here, both guests?"
"This is a little thought from our restaurant. We give every new customer at the table a jar of wine brewed by our restaurant."
"This is the rule left by our shopkeeper."
Xiao Cui said to the two of them with a smile.
"oh?"
"How do you know it's our first time here?"
"I think the business of your restaurant is pretty good. There are so many people coming and going, can you remember it?"
The young man asked Xiaocui.
"Um!"
"Xiao Cui can remember, but Xiao Cui knows everyone who has been to our place once!"
Xiaocui said a little shyly.
"oh?"
"Then you are really awesome!"
"If you weren't a girl, with your abilities, I would have taken you away."
"Here, here is this for you. We are really here because of its reputation. If you have a pot of some kind, please give us some."
As the young man spoke, he handed over a gold ingot.
Xiao Cui was startled.
"No, no, our prices at Yueyan Restaurant are fair and honest. You gave me too much."
Xiao Cui quickly declined.
"Okay, girl, don't refuse, we are hungry, please serve us some food and wine quickly!"
The strong man next to him seemed impatient and urged Xiao Cui.
Xiaocui had no choice but to take the gold ingot and walk towards the kitchen.
After a while, a table full of meat and vegetables was laid out for the two of them.
Just now while waiting for the food.
They have learned how to eat by looking at what is happening on the table next to them.
As soon as the meat and vegetables were served, the two of them couldn't wait to cook them.
Xiaocui hesitated for a moment, then took the gold ingot and went to the backyard to find Su Xiaoyue.
When Su Xiaoyue saw it, it turned out to be such a big piece of gold.
Also a little surprised.
Such a big piece of gold is enough for a monthly subscription, let alone a meal.
"Come on, take me to see it!"
Su Xiaoyue stood up from the bed and came to the front hall.
After thinking about it, he called Xiaocui and brought over another plate of game, and then he came to the table.
"You two gentlemen are very polite. This is the first time for these two gentlemen to come to our Yueyan Restaurant. How do you like it?"
"If there is any lack of hospitality, please forgive me."
Su Xiaoyue said to the two of them with a smile.
The young man put down his chopsticks without feeling satisfied.
"I didn't expect that there is such a beautiful woman here. I must be the proprietress of Yueyan Restaurant, right?"
"Master Zhang Baozhang's wife?"
The young man wiped the corners of his mouth with fine silk and said to Su Xiaoyue.
"Do you know my husband?"
When Su Xiaoyue heard this, she asked in surprise.
"That's right. I came here today because I wanted to catch up with Mr. Zhang. I wonder if Mr. Zhang is here?"
The young man smiled.
"Oh, my husband just left a few days ago. I heard that he will go to Yunzhong County for a while first."
"If you are looking for my husband, you can go to Yunzhong County to find him."
Su Xiaoyue said to the two of them.
"oh?"
"That's such a coincidence. I also heard that he was in Sanhe, so I came here all the way. I didn't expect it to be such an unlucky coincidence, but I happened to be planning to go to Yunzhong County."
"Madam, do you know where I can find Mr. Zhang in Yunzhong County?"
"I have something I want to discuss with Mr. Zhang."
The young man said to Su Xiaoyue.
From time to time, he glanced at the meat in the pot with his eyes. While he was talking, almost all the meat that went into the pot was taken out by the guy in front of him.
"Ping'an Inn in Yunzhong County, you can just go there and look for it."
Su Xiaoyue said with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Bao had an old friend. Judging from the appearance and conversation of the man in front of him, he must be a child of a wealthy family.
Recently, after Xianggong's rise in power, many people have come to seek refuge with him.
It would be best if I could help my husband.
After the two people had eaten and drank enough, they got up and left.
When leaving.
He happened to pass by Huang Chenzhi who walked in.
Huang Chenzhi felt that this person was somewhat familiar and couldn't help but be startled.
"Uncle Huang, are you here?"
"Those rich squires have been waiting for a while. They are in the private room on the second floor."
Xiaocui stepped forward quickly and said.
"ah?"
"Oh well!"
Huang Chenzhi came back to his senses when Xiaocui asked him this question.
Walk towards the private room on the second floor.
As a result, just halfway through, he stopped.
My back was instantly soaked.
He suddenly realized who the person he passed by when he went out just now was...
Think of this.
Huang Chenzhi couldn't help but feel his legs weaken, and he fell down on the stairs.
