The two of them were sitting face to face. Shen Jiyao's eyes fell on Xiao Doumi who was being held and amused by Lan Qianjue. Seeing that the light yellow clothes he was wearing were dirty again, he felt a little headache. This little boy Ever since I could hold my hands and eat with my mouth, my clothes have always gotten dirty very quickly. If I didn't pay attention, I would put everything on my clothes, drool, etc., and I would quickly soil a small piece of clothing that I just put on. , I just put on this one before going out, and it has only been half a day in town.

Although the weather is nice now, I am not too tired to wash a few clothes, but the speed of washing cannot keep up with the speed of changing, which is a bit embarrassing. Moreover, Xiaodou Mi also has a little habit of always pulling clothes and biting them. As long as she turns around, she won't see her. , he grabbed his own clothes and put them in his mouth. In this weather, he was wearing loose clothes. Not only would his belly be exposed and he would catch a cold easily, but he might also get sick from eating bacteria on the clothes.

He stared at Xiao Doumi's clothes for a long time, and while he was worried, the next moment he suddenly got inspiration and said: "Qianjue, after dinner, let's go to the cloth shop and choose a piece of cloth for Xiao Dou Mi." Make a bib out of rice so that the front won't get dirty when he drools when eating. You can just wash the bib later."

Lan Qianjue had never heard of bibs before, so he put his hands under Xiao Doumi's armpits. He leaned on his body and stood on his legs, playing around while saying: "What is that?"

"Well, how to say it." Shen Jiyao thought about how to describe it for a while, and finally thought of it after a few breaths. A very apt metaphor, he said with a smile: "It's similar to the use of diapers. When it's dirty, just take off the bib and wash it. This way, you don't have to undress him all the time to wash. Do you think it's a lot more convenient?"

Lan Qianjue said briefly . After thinking about it, I realized that this is indeed the case. There are often children in the village who get their clothes dirty when playing. It doesn't matter in hot weather, but if it is cold weather, a pile of children's dirty clothes will have to be washed every two days. For this reason, Brother Zhou often complains to Lan Qianjue. After all, he washes the dirty clothes in winter. If Shen Jiyao can make bibs according to the method he said, it will be much easier to take care of children in winter. , the weather is so cold and there is no need to always wash clothes.

Thinking of this, Lan Qianjue looked at Shen Jiyao with admiration in his eyes. I really didn't know how he could come up with so many weird things, so he smiled and said: "It is indeed convenient. If it is practical, it can also give others some advice." Second, this way we don't have to go to the river every now and then to wash the children's clothes in the middle of winter.

"If you want to teach me, just leave it to a few acquaintances. Others don't want to teach me and want to wear it themselves." Buy." Shen Jiyao was suddenly stunned when he said this. He couldn't help but think of the business opportunity he had thought of before. If the restaurant does well and the business develops smoothly, he can continue to develop in another industry. An industry naturally refers to clothing, children's things, women's clothing and underwear, men's boxers and vests, etc. Once these are made, as long as someone feels comfortable wearing them, they will not have to worry about selling them. .

But one thing is more important. People in ancient times were quite conservative in their thinking, so clothes must be generous and distinctive. Simple, neat, and well-dressed are the most important factors. But if Shen Jiyao really wants to These factors would not trouble him as a modern person to develop in the field of clothing. Shen Jiyao secretly retained this idea, just waiting for the opportunity in the future to try to develop in this area.

Of course, there are many other industries, and Shen Jiyao also plans to try them. In fact, he is most interested in food. He actually wants to sell skewers and barbecues, but he has not yet inspected the night markets in the town. , his ambition is not just to develop in this small town, he wants to go to the county, where every corner is more lively than the town, but the challenges will be greater, so now he must complete the restaurant before he is qualified to think about it. others.

Nowadays, Shen Jiyao doesn't think about anything secretly. Instead, he likes to talk to Lan Qianjue, so he told Lan Qianjue about his previous plan. Lan Qianjue naturally has no objections and unconditional support. Shen Jiyao, but Lan Qianjue's thoughts are the same as his. They all need to do business in the town first, and then consider other things. The foundation must be laid step by step, so that other problems that have not been considered will not arise.

The two sat and waited for a long time, until Shen Jiyao was so hungry that he couldn't stand it anymore. It took more than two quarters of an hour before the store started serving food.

Shen Jiyao watched eagerly as the waiter served the food. The so-called Penglai seabass was actually steamed seabass, the beggar's chicken was wrapped in lotus leaves and then wrapped in mud and grilled, and the pork liver with dogwood was actually another disguised form. The Kung Pao Pork Liver is made from Cornus officinalis fruit, and the fried pork liver is a bit white. The other two snacks are braised pork slices and stir-fried beans. As for the soup, according to the waiter, this It's Lubian Decoction, which is not only nourishing but also aphrodisiac.

Shen Jiyao was pouring milk for Xiao Doumi. When he heard this, he paused and twitched the corner of his mouth. He said, "Deer whip, that's so rare. How much does it cost for one portion?"

"It's not expensive. Look how you look like this." I can't afford it." The waiter smiled and said, "This is your first time, so I'll only charge you three taels of silver."

Shen Jiyao frowned and said, "The weather is so sultry. Why are you giving me an aphrodisiac soup? I'm afraid of getting tired after eating it, and the price is too high. I can't eat this soup. Charge me three taels. Your restaurant is too dark. I don't want it. You take it away. "Okay."

The waiter looked troubled and said, "Sir, please don't embarrass me. I'm just a waiter. Didn't you just tell me which soup you want? The big brother in charge will arrange it for you." If you want to buy such a soup, how about I give you a little less, two or five hundred yuan?"

Shen Jiyao was a little displeased, but he actually sold deer chirping to them. She could eat it. Shen Jiyao was quite curious about what people had said before about the effects of soaking tiger penis and bull penis in medicinal wine. But now, she suddenly cooked a deer penis soup for him and brought it to him. Shen Jiyao couldn't help it for a while. Accept it. Besides, Lan Qianjue is already very good at that. No matter how long it lasts, he still doesn't want it.

"Sir, why don't you try it first? What if it tastes to your liking?" Seeing that Shen Jiyao really didn't want it, the waiter couldn't help feeling a little regretful, and then said with a pleading look on his face: "If you go back, the shopkeeper will be angry." Yes, in fact, I ordered this soup for you without permission. I also saw that the two of you are very close to each other, so I wanted to add some fun to you. Who knows that you don't like this deer penis? Although I think it's a bit disgusting, but It is indeed a great tonic. Just do it. I don't want to be scolded in vain. How about you try it first? If it tastes good, can you accept it?"

Shen Jiyao looked at the waiter with a pitiful look on his face. He looked quite helpless, although he still felt the deer chirping in his heart, and he didn't know how true or false the waiter's words were. Now it was only strange that he didn't ask for any soup. It would be unreasonable to go back, so he looked towards Lan Qianjue said, "How about you try it?"

"Put it down." Lan Qianjue said, scooped two spoons of soup into a bowl, took a sip, and said, "But it's too expensive, so tell your shopkeeper Tell me, I only pay two taels of silver for this bowl of soup."

The waiter immediately beamed when he saw this. He didn't care about the price. Anyway, the shopkeeper of Lubian had told him that he could pay for anything less than two taels of silver, so he left with a lot of thanks. .

Shen Jiyao's throat tightened when he looked at the deer whip in the enamel bowl. He asked with some disgust: "How does it taste? Does it taste good?"

Lan Qianjue picked up the wine bottle on the side and poured himself a glass. Drinking wine, he said lightly: "It's okay, except for the fishy smell, it's no different from ordinary soup."

Shen Jiyao nodded and said: "Then drink more." He said, taking the red bean rice from Lan Qianjue. She took it in her arms and let him sit on her lap to lean against it. She used chopsticks to pry open the dry mud on the outer layer of the beggar's chicken and peeled it off, revealing the dried and yellowed lotus leaves inside. There was a fresh smell. The fragrance hit my face immediately.

Shen Jiyao sniffed a few times, quickly peeled off the lotus leaves, used the prepared dagger to cut the oily chicken, put one leg into Lan Qianjue's bowl, and put the other chicken leg into his own bowl.

The beggar's chicken fat is not greasy and tastes good, but Shen Jiyao always feels that there are some seasonings missing. It would be more delicious if there was some chili water for dipping. If Shen Jiyao was asked to cook this dish, he would not just wrap it. A chicken is rubbed with salt and then grilled. Instead, something is stuffed into the belly of the chicken, such as fungi or mushrooms, and some seasonings such as onions, ginger, and garlic are added in. The chicken made in this way is delicious. It won't be too simple. If you get tired of eating chicken, you can also eat the ingredients in the chicken's belly. After all, if you want to eat the whole chicken like this, you will inevitably feel tired.

Shen Jiyao took a few bites of the chicken and then put it down, turning to the pork liver. The color of the pork liver was not very pleasing, the garlic leaves were too fried, and the dogwood fruit was not ground into flour for frying, so It didn't look very good, so Shen Jiyao took a piece and ate it in his mouth. The pork liver was a little too fried, and the pork liver had not been blended with corn starch, so the pork liver lacked a glutinous feeling, but The salty taste is very good and there is no big problem, but if it is fried for Shen Jiyao, the palace fried pork liver will be much more delicious than the current stir-frying method.

After eating the pork liver, he continued to eat seabass. I have to say that the fish was very well cooked, very fresh and tasty. Shen Jiyao ate by himself, and from time to time he would pick out a piece of fish meat for Lan Qianjue to drink with him. , Xiao Doumi, who had been ignored, screamed at this time. Shen Jiyao picked up Xiao Doumi and said funnyly: "You want some too?"

"Ahhh." Xiao Doumi shouted excitedly.

Shen Jiyao held him in his arms with one hand, picked up a small piece of white and tender fish meat, put it in a bowl and flattened it with chopsticks, carefully picked out the thorns, and then fed the meat to Xiao Doumi.

Xiaodou Mi swallowed it a few times, and screamed again, indicating that she wanted more.

Shen Jiyao smiled helplessly. He felt that Xiao Doumi was not as smart as a child now, so he had to serve him first, but he didn't dare to feed him too much. Before he was one year old, he still mainly fed on goat's milk.

A family of three had a meal at a restaurant, and they all paid five taels of silver when paying the bill. It made Shen Jiyao feel bad. It was really not cost-effective. I won't say that the taste was not good. The key is that one bowl was eaten for nothing. The Lubian Soup was enough to make him feel a little clogged in his heart, but Shen Jiyao thought about it and soon put the matter behind him.

Shen Jiyao planned to go to another restaurant tomorrow. This time he must order the restaurant's special dishes first. He couldn't be fooled by the names of the dishes. Shen Jiyao couldn't help but feel a little funny when he thought about the Penglai seabass. The name was so cute. He was fascinated. After the two of them left the restaurant, they took Xiao Doumi to the cloth shop to pull cloth. Shen Jiyao bought a square piece of sapphire blue fabric. The color was not only beautiful, but also stain-resistant, and he made a bib for Xiao Doumi. Couldn't be more appropriate.

After returning to the inn, Lan Qianjue took Xiao Doumi to play on the bed, while Shen Jiyao was holding a piece of cloth and thinking about how to cut it to make a bib.

There are many types of bibs for children. The most common one is a bib similar to clothing. It was worn by every child in my hometown. The style is almost the same as a cardigan. In fact, it is worn from the front to the back, and the back is also worn. There are many kinds of clothes, which have the same function as the buttons on cardigans. Another kind is directly made into the shape of a small bellyband, and the last one is to cut a small piece of cloth and press it directly into the clothes around the neck, but that kind It can only be used for babies who can't run or jump yet. It's obviously not of use to Xiaodoumi, because he's too smart.

Shen Jiyao thought about it for a long time, and finally made a cardigan bib and a bib that was pressed directly into the collar. His son had to be more handsome, so he used the cardigan bib to make a little country bumpkin at home, and then went outside to wear it. Shen Jiyao couldn't help but smile when he thought about this.

Now Shen Jiyao's needlework has made some progress. Making a few simple bibs is not a problem, but it takes a long time. He sat from noon to evening, sewing and cutting, and then made Xiaodou Mi's bib. After making it, the bib of the cardigan turned out to be decent.

Xiaodou Mi was very happy to put on the bib. She laughed so much that her mouth watered and she was very excited.

The three of them stayed in the town for several days, until Shen Jiyao felt that he had eaten at all the restaurants and inns in the town, so he set off back to the village.

The five of them had been taking care of the vegetables and poultry in the yard in order for the past few days, and were looking forward to the return of the two of them. Today, they finally got the two of them back.

Wang Yue'er happily brought tea and water to the two of them, and then said: "Brother Shen, Brother Su came to see you a few days ago. When he saw that you were not there, he went back again."

Shen Jiyao took a sip of tea and talked with Lan Qian Jue looked at each other and said, "Did he say anything about me?"

Wang Yue'er said, "He left without saying anything."

Shen Jiyao smiled and said, "Okay, I understand. You have worked hard these days. Yes."

Wang Yue'er nodded and then went out.

Shen Jiyao put down the bowl and said to Lan Qianjue: "Do you think we should find someone to form a joint venture to run a restaurant?"

Lan Qianjue: "A joint venture?"

"It means two families running a restaurant together." Shen Jiyao said: "That's it. First, we take less risks, but the money we earn will also be reduced by half, and the other half will be distributed to the partners. If we can really make money, we can bring Su Ye and the others to make money together. After all, we can be where we are today. With their help, the most important thing is that I want Zhang Tianwen to mobilize the whole village to plant my vegetables. After all, we are the only family growing vegetables now. If our vegetables sell well in the future, our dynasty does not have these vegetables. , if someone wants to make a fuss about this matter, I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain at that time, so as long as our vegetables start to be spread in every village and everyone in the village grows them, even if someone deliberately comes to make trouble, they won't be able to cause trouble, you Let's talk."

Lan Qianjue raised his hand to take off the hand that Xiao Doumi slapped on his face. He thought for a moment and then said: "Yes, yes, but what I'm worried about is that it involves money, and I won't be able to make money in the future. Forget it, on the contrary, it will affect the relationship between the two of us. The brothers will settle the accounts. If there is a dispute, it is not the main thing, but the fear that our friendship with them will be affected. If that happens, the gain will outweigh the loss.

" Ji Yao suddenly realized something and said with some regret; "That's true, but we can ask them first. In case they are interested, if they want to do it, we will analyze the power of it to them first. If he wants to be a shareholder, just do it. If he doesn't want to, forget it. I can just talk to him about growing vegetables. Then I'll see what Su Ye wants from me. I haven't seen him for a long time after he got married and came to Baoshan Village. ."

Lan Qianjue said: "I will go with you."

Shen Jiyao nodded: "Okay."

The next day, the two of them went to Baoshan Village with Xiao Doumi in their arms.

When we arrived at Zhang Tianwen's house, Zhang Tianwen was cooking in the kitchen, and the old man was standing aside and pointing, looking at him cooking with a serious face. The two of them were extremely serious, and from time to time they would argue with each other over whether to cook more or less. , they didn't even know they were coming. Shen Jiyao stood outside the kitchen and watched for a while. When he saw the two of them almost yelling over how to cook a dish

, he said quite funny: "Brother Zhang, Uncle Zhang, why are you quarreling over how to cook a dish?"

They were stunned for a moment, and then turned away together. Zhang Tianwen yelled, smiled at the two of them, and said, "Why are you here? Go sit in the room first, and I'll cook."

The old man laughed when he saw the two of them. No matter how much Zhang Tianwen was cooking, he came out and said helplessly: "I asked him to put less salt, but he just didn't listen. You guys are laughing. Come on out." Come and sit inside, oh, my little Dou Mi'er is here again, come on, let grandpa hold her."

Shen Jiyao handed over the little Dou Mi'er and went into the house with the old man.

Seeing Shen Jiyao looking around, the old man said: "You are looking for Ye'er, he is resting in the back room. You are here just in time. You might as well go and talk to him."

Shen Jiyao nodded, he was familiar with the family . Go to the back room to find Su Ye.

He pushed the door open and went in. Su Ye was lying on the bed. When he saw him coming, he sat up and said with a smile: "You are here."

"Are you not feeling well? Why are you lying on the bed?" Shen Jiyao suddenly became worried. , walked a few steps to the bed, sat down and looked at his face carefully.

"It's okay." Su Ye felt a little embarrassed when Shen Jiyao looked at him. He smiled shyly and said, "Brother Zhang and dad are too nervous and have to let me lie down to feel at ease."

Shen Jiyao touched him . He said nonchalantly: "Why are they nervous?"

Su Ye did not speak, but looked at his abdomen with a gentle look on his face and touched it, raising the corners of his mouth with a happy smile.

When Shen Jiyao saw this, he was confused for a moment and then understood. He smiled in surprise and said, "Could it be that you have a baby?"

Su Ye nodded and said, "I just found out not long ago. By the way, where were you a few days ago? I I went to see you and wanted to tell you about this, but you weren't at home."

"We went to town," Shen Jiyao said, "By the way, give the fetus more snacks in the first few months, and don't eat randomly. Don't eat the meat, keep it well."

Su Ye nodded, and when he was about to say something more, the door was pushed open, and the person who came was Zhang Tianwen. He greeted Shen Jiyao and walked over to take Su Ye. He helped him up and said: "Ye'er, let me help you. Ji Yao, let's go and eat. I've done everything." Su Ye was a little awkward because of his cautious appearance, but it was difficult to say anything, so he could only follow it. He stood up with strength, and Zhang Tianwen knelt down to put on his shoes.

Shen Jiyao smiled sincerely when he saw this scene. He did not be polite to Zhang Tianwen, but nodded happily, stood up, opened the automatically closing wooden door for the two of them, and let them go out first before following behind him. Got out.

The old man cared a lot about Su Ye at the dinner table. He would occasionally give him food when there was no more food in the bowl. He seemed to be very satisfied and fond of Su Ye.

Shen Jiyao felt very warm when he saw the two father and son taking a pregnant husband seriously, and couldn't help but smile.

After the meal, several people sat in the courtyard to enjoy the cool air. Zhang Tianwen and Lan Qianjue played chess there, while Shen Jiyao and Su Ye sat aside and watched. Lan Qianjue flew the cannon to eat the pawn and picked up the chess pieces. Put it aside and said: "In addition to visiting Brother Su today, I also want to discuss something with Brother Tianwen."

"Eat my pawn." Zhang Tianwen frowned and looked at it, then walked away and said: "Let's You're welcome, if you have anything to say, let's discuss it together."

Lan Qianjue said, "Ji Yao plans to open a restaurant. I would like to ask if you are interested. If so, we will open a restaurant together."

"Open a restaurant?" Zhang Tianwen raised his eyebrows, quite surprised, and said: "Opened recently? I'm afraid I won't be able to get away. Ye'er is pregnant now, and I have to take care of him at all times. If you don't have enough money, , I can lend it to you for a while. As for the partnership, we will consider other things after the child is born."

Lan Qianjue naturally understood his mood and said: "Okay, I won't force you, but still. I have one thing to trouble you with. We have some rare vegetable species. You can ask the villagers if they are willing to grow them. We will rent their land and hire them to grow vegetables for me. The price is good, do you think it is feasible? "

Zhang Tianwen paused, looked up at Lan Qianjue, and said, "This may be a bit difficult. After all, everyone relies on the fields to grow food, but it is not impossible. As long as the price you give is reasonable, they will agree." Maybe I will help you ask the villagers in a few days."

Lan Qianjue bowed his hands and said, "Then thank you Brother Tianwen first."

"Why are you so polite to me?" Zhang Tianwen laughed. Said: "I haven't thanked you for setting up a bridge between me and Ye'er. I'll take care of this little thing. Don't worry."

Lan Qianjue smiled and said: "We don't need to be polite."

Zhang Tianwen looked at it . Looking at Lan Qianjue, the two immediately looked at each other and laughed.

They stayed here until evening, and were left to eat supper before going back.

Although it has not yet been decided whether Zhang Tianwen can help them grow vegetables, Shen Jiyao has already planned to find a shop first. Then he will make dishes with ingredients first, and after the vegetables are grown, he will make new dishes to promote them. , so that if you integrate it bit by bit, it may not attract too much attention.

Shen Jiyao doesn't do business these days, but has been drafting his menu.

As he flipped through the recipe, he analyzed whether there were any ingredients. If there were any, he copied down the name of the dish.

The chili peppers they picked at the beginning have been dried in the sun, and they are waiting to buy stone bowls to brew the glutinous rice cake chili peppers. With the glutinous rice cake chili peppers, they can cook any dish, and the first one is the Kung Pao type dishes, such as Kung Pao Chicken. , Kung Pao Pork, Kidney Pork Liver, and Twice-cooked Pork.

As for the dishes that need to be stir-fried with sour peppers, such as fish-flavored shredded pork, pickled pepper meat slices, etc., they can be replaced with another kind of dogwood fruit. This kind of dogwood fruit has a sour taste. Shen Jiyao has tried it and it is not as sour. The chili peppers are bad, but when the chili peppers mature, he still wants to make his own sour chili peppers.

Stir-fried vegetables are simple. Stir-fried, dry, stir-fried, sweet and sour will do. Shen Jiyao doesn't pay attention to these things anyway. As long as there are vegetables to stir-fry, he can make them delicious.

There are so many recipes for poultry and fish. Shen Jiyao has copied almost all the menus he can, just waiting to show off his skills when the time comes.

Of course, he has also launched many special hot pots and hometown specialties, dry pot, which is one of the ones he is most confident about. He also wants to go to the town to see if there are any Tremella and lotus seeds, and he can still make money by selling them. Shen Jiyao has almost thought of everything that can make money, and now he is just waiting to find a store.

A few days later, the two of them came to the town again. They went around the whole town but couldn't find a shop that could be used as a restaurant. They originally wanted to choose a better shop to rent, but they couldn't find it at all. , they had no choice but to go to the Supervisory Hall to ask the Supervisor. Fortunately, the two of them found a room for them, so they took them to see it.

The restaurant mentioned by the supervisor is located in the north of the town. It has two floors. The shop is very spacious and looks quite impressive from the outside. The most important thing is that there is a courtyard behind the restaurant with a large tree planted in it. There are trees and a well, which is always full of water. There are nine rooms in the yard, so there is no problem for people to live in them. This is in line with Shen Jiyao's wishes.

There is no need to find a new place to live, and there is no need to spend money to buy water every day, which is a huge savings.

No one has rented this restaurant for a long time. They all think that the feng shui is too bad and it is far away from the downtown area, so they are unwilling to rent it. On the other hand, the rent of this restaurant is a few taels less than restaurants in other places. It only costs only a month. Thirty-two taels of silver.

Shen Jiyao looked at the room Lan Qianjue asked him about, and Lan Qianjue said: "Okay, although it is a little far away from the downtown area, we are also well-known in the town, so we don't need to worry about the source of customers, otherwise we can just stay here "Then this one

." Shen Jiyao actually likes this restaurant. It is not only wide but also beautifully built. They don't need to renovate it at all. They can just clean it and replace it with a few tables, chairs and furnishings. Now, after listening to Lan Qianjue's analysis, he no longer hesitated.

Several people went back to the prison and market hall to sign a bond, paid the money and returned to the village with a contract.
