Night had already fallen when Su Hang returned home. Seeing that his son was back, Old Man Su couldn't help but exclaimed: "Why did you come back so late?"

"I, I stopped by Yahang on the way back."

"Okay, your son is back, so don't scold him." Mrs. Su smiled and went to heat Suhang's meal with Aqiao.

A Qiao was busy in the kitchen with a big belly. He prepared three lotus seeds, some mung beans, rice, lilies and sugar cubes, and cooked a bowl of thick and sweet lotus seed, lily and mung bean porridge for Suhang.

Another plate of spicy lamb's blood, fried eggs with garlic moss, and stir-fried pork with lotus seeds were served to Suhang.

Su Hang had been running around all day, and now he could eat home-cooked food cooked by his wife, and drink this bowl of sweet and lung-moistening porridge. Su Hang felt refreshed, his heart felt soft, and he couldn't help but drink a little anxiously.

"Ms. sir, please slow down, it's all yours, no one is trying to steal it from you." A Qiao couldn't help but laugh or cry.

"It's delicious." Su Hang drank the porridge in a slurping manner. Seeing this, Ah Qiao felt sweet in her heart. She specially learned this from the scholar lady. Because the scholar used his brain too much, the scholar lady often cooked it for him.

After eating some warm meals, Aqiao thought that his husband was using his brain too much, so he made friends with the scholar lady, hoping to learn something from her.

"My lord, the scholar lady is such a nice person. She often shares some health tips with me. I'm thinking about giving her a bottle of the fragrance you made the next time I see her."

Su Hang raised his head, with a few grains of rice still on his mouth, and said vaguely, "It's up to you to decide this. You can give whatever you want. What belongs to your husband-in-law is also yours."

Aqiao took out a handkerchief to wipe Su Hang's mouth, touched the corner of Su Hang's mouth and pricked his hand. Seeing that there was a faint green beard around his mouth, he couldn't help but said angrily: "You haven't shaved your beard in a few days, haven't you?"

.”

"Shave it right away. I'll shave it tonight."

A Qiao sighed. My husband was so busy every day, getting up early and working late at night. He must be too busy. This made A Qiao very distressed.

Outsiders admired Su Hang's wealth and praised Su Hang's brains, but only Aqiao's children and parents would worry about whether Su Hang was too tired.

In the evening, Suhang prepared watermelon and muskmelon and sent them to the bedroom for Aqiao and Niu Niu to eat. Niu Niu held the watermelon and ate it.

"Niuniu, you can't eat this piece again, it will cause diarrhea." Aqiao put the watermelon away.

Niu Niu flattened her mouth and looked like she was about to cry. Su Hang hugged Niu Niu and kissed her, "Baby, don't cry. If you eat too much, you will have diarrhea. If you have diarrhea, you will have to drink bitter medicine. Do you want to drink it?"

"

"don't want."

Su Hang smiled, "Daddy will make marshmallows for you tomorrow, please stop crying, okay?"

When Niuniu heard this, although she didn't know what marshmallow was, she caught one of the key words "sugar", and she immediately drooled over it, looking at her father eagerly.

Su Hang held her in his arms and coaxed her gently. After a while, Niu Niu fell asleep. Su Hang gently put Niu Niu on the small bed.

For Niu Niu, Su Hang always felt distressed and guilty, feeling guilty that he was not present when Niu Niu was born.

I also feel guilty that I don’t have much time to spend with my daughter, but the child is really like an angel. Even though I have never taken care of her, when she sees me, she acts like a little puppy, crazy.

Wagging his tail, he rushed into his arms, carrying the trust of the whole world.

Suhang's heart really softened when he thought of this.

…

Boss Qin from Zuixian Restaurant was listening to the shopkeeper reporting to him the restaurant's sales last month. When he heard an unbelievable number, Boss Qin laughed heartily.

"Hey, what a pity. In Luling County now, even street vendors have chili peppers in their hands. This is really..." Boss Qin shook his head, with a look of pity on his face. If this chili pepper could be used by him in Zuixianlou

How wonderful it is to have a monopoly!

"Dad, this is all because of Luo Tianbao or Zhenfan's lax talk. One of them runs a grain store and the other runs an academy. Why are they trying to steal chili peppers from us?" Qin Jun now hates Luo Tianbao and Zhenfan very much. After all,

If they hadn't leaked the secret, Qin Jun and his father would have gone to the capital to open Zuixian Tower.

Now that the secret of chili peppers has been made public, the profit of Zuixianlou has been greatly reduced, because other restaurants have also bought chili peppers, and it is not just Zuixianlou that has them. The original customer base only consumes so much, good guys, now everyone

If the profits are divided equally, it is conceivable that the profits in each person's hands will naturally be less.

They say that killing someone's money is like killing their parents. How could Qin Jun not hate Luo Tianbao and Zhenfan!

Even though Qin Jun and Luo Tianbao were good friends before, after this experience, the boat of friendship was completely overturned.

It is said that the enemy of his enemy is his friend. Now that Qin Jun thought of Su Hang, he felt that Su Hang was very pleasing to his eyes. Besides, it was Luo Tianbao who always spoke ill of Su Hang in front of him. He had never had any contact with Su Hang.

How can one define the character of Su Hang with just one word?

Qin Jun's heart was turning over and over again, thinking that compared to Luo Tianbao, this Suhang was more worthy of dating.

Suhang entertained the men brought by the witch in the backyard of the restaurant. This time the witch sent Suhang more than thirty boxes of fish, more than thirty boxes of crabs, and several boxes of squid.

Su Hang welcomed everyone into the courtyard, where ice had already been prepared. He said that these boxes were stacked on top of the ice to keep them fresh.

"The witch is so kind. Everything she brought me looks good, hehe." Su Hang clapped his hands happily and said.

"How are your lords doing lately?" Suhang wanted to know what Takeda Shingen and the shrine maiden were doing in the territory recently.

"Returning to the counselor, our lords are thinking of you. The experience of visiting the gunpowder factory and armor factory that you brought back from Europe was given to our lords. The lords immediately began to refine our muskets and train our soldiers and armors.

, facing outside

When people came to bully us, we had the equipment to resist. Now our lord has swallowed up more than a dozen territories. The hairy crab I brought you today is a specialty of Shiotue County, which our lord just swallowed. As soon as I thought of you asking for it, I gave it to you immediately.

How many boxes have you prepared?"

"The witch woman is really nice. I'm so grateful to her. Let me give her a gift in return. As for the money, she should be in need now. I'll write a recipe for making wine and give it to her.

"Suhang said and entered the study.

After seeing off the witch's men, Suhang took a pot of hairy crabs to the kitchen.

"Dad, we can add more dishes. This time, my son will teach you how to make fried hairy crabs. You will follow me first and see how I make it?"

After hearing this, Old Man Su looked at the hairy crabs crawling in the basin. When he saw Su Hang grabbing them with his bare hands, Old Man Su couldn't help but said in fear: "Son, be careful!"

"Don't worry, I know it well." Su Hang grabbed the hairy crab's back and took out a horsehair brush to brush the dirt on the hairy crab's body carefully.

"Dad, cut some ginger, pepper, and green onions for me."

"Hey." Old Man Su knelt down and looked for it.

As soon as I was busy, the fried hairy crabs in Suhang were not yet cooked, and the scent of crabs was already floating in the air.

Finally, when the hairy crabs were ready, Mr. Su looked at the red hairy crabs in surprise. Su Hang gave him a pair of chopsticks and asked him to taste them first.

Old man Su grabbed a crab leg and ate it. The meat was soft and delicate, fresh and indifferent, giving people a sense of tranquility like living by the sea.

"It's delicious, son. Where did you buy this crab? I've never seen it before?"

"This is a crab from the East China Sea. It's normal if you don't see it."

Old man Su nodded and memorized this dish, and Suhang added a fried hairy crab variety to the menu.

The current menu in Suzhou and Hangzhou includes dishes: spicy fish, fish stewed with tofu, fried hairy crab, and drinks: bamboo leaf wine, lemonade, wine, and strawberry wine.

Suhang is going to add another grilled squid dish to the menu, but there is no need to rush, since most of his guests now come for drinks anyway.

The main reason is naturally because I have too few dishes and no staple food. It would be great if I could have delicious rice as a side dish.

It's not like Su Hang didn't think about getting some rice to sell, but his attitude of striving for perfection made him not want to make do with it.

Because he was interested in the Luo family's grain store and the Luo family's rice, but Luo Yuanwai and Luo Tianbao would definitely not sell the rice to him. He still knew this.

On the other hand, Yuan Luo was already in a state of distress because his old customer, Gu Zuixianlou, had canceled cooperation with him, quit the union, and was no longer under his protection.

This is enough to show that the status of his Luo family in Luling County has declined somewhat.

Because of Zuixianlou's departure, other restaurants smaller than Zuixianlou are also clamoring to withdraw from the union.

This gave Foreigner Luo a warning, and he lay in bed that night unable to get up.

Luo Yubao and his wife were waiting on Mr. Luo. Luo Tianbao did not dare to see his father, but he still believed that he was right. He only told his father, sister-in-law and eldest brother about the pepper.

"Yubao, go write a letter to Mr. Wang, write it truthfully, saying that our family may not be able to provide the money he needs in the future, and then go to the restaurants door to door to ask if anyone is willing to give us rice.

?”

"Hey." Luo Yubao lifted up his shirt and walked out.

"Come back!" Luo Yuanwai was suddenly very excited, and his old face turned red after coughing for a while. Luo Yubao stopped when he heard this and hurried back to the bedroom.

"Forget it, don't tell Wang Shilang. If Wang Shilang finds out about this, our family may be an abandoned son, so we can't say it, and we can't waste all our efforts." Luo Yuanwai grabbed a handful of hair and patted his head in worry:

"Don't say it now, you can't say it."

Suhang was quite surprised to learn that the rice from Luo Yuan's wife's house was being sold at a discount. He was accompanying Aqiao to see a doctor that day, and planned to go to the tooth shop in the afternoon to see if there were any clever little girls selling it.

"Don't miss it if you're passing by. This is tribute rice. The price now sold is exactly the same as that of japonica rice. Everyone hurry up and buy it. Don't miss this opportunity. If you lose it, you won't come back!" The boy from Luo Yuan's family was excited to sell goods.

, singing passionately.

The onlookers were all pointing and talking about what happened to the Luo family?

Two or three days later, Luo Yubao brought gifts to the alley where Su Hang lived, and held the door of Su Hang's house warmly.
