Chapter 202 Lost the Wine
While the moon is high.
The three of them left the shop, locking the door to the backyard before leaving.
This way no one would know they had been to the shop.
The night watchman saw a dark figure scurrying around on the street and thought he had seen a ghost. He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. His hand slipped out of fear and the gong fell to the ground.
The noise is particularly loud.
The three were also frightened. They hid in the dim alley, squatted down, and dared not move.
He was afraid of being caught by the night watchman and taken to the police as a thief.
The night watchman's hands were shaking and he wanted to run away, but when he remembered that the gong was still on the ground, he gritted his teeth and bent down. He couldn't lose this thing. It was more important than his life.
After picking up the gong.
The night watchman ran towards the city gate.
If you didn’t know, you would think there was a ghost chasing him.
After a long while, Bai Qianshan stretched his head out and leaned over carefully, only to find that the night watchman had disappeared.
He also ran home with his wife and children.
After arriving home, the three of them settled down.
Their breathing became louder and louder.
"Okay, go back to sleep." Bai Qianshan waved to his son and went back to the room to rest.
late at night.
Except for the night watchmen and the officers guarding the city gates, there was not a single person on the street.
This was the time when Jiang Fubao was sleeping most soundly.
She smacked her lips, hummed, and turned over, struggling like a newborn pig.
The chickens in the backyard were also lined up in a row, taking a nap in the chicken coop.
The tiny chicken head is buried in the big body.
The pointed beak is covered by thick feathers.
Looks kind of cute.
Sun Pingmei, who drank too much mung bean soup during the day, woke up because she had to pee. It was too hot in midsummer, and if she urinated in a urine bucket, the stench in the house would be so strong that she could not stand it. She could only half-close her eyes, grope her way out of the house, and pee in the toilet in the backyard.
The noise was not loud, but it made the sleeping rooster open his eyes and look over.
Seeing that they are family.
Just continue sleeping.
After peeing, Sun Pingmei felt refreshed all over. She continued to touch the wall with half-closed eyes, returned to the house, and fell into a deep sleep.
If she wasn't afraid of falling, she wouldn't even want to move her eyelids.
The night passed.
Dawn comes.
A golden ray of dawn quietly spread over the village. The villagers carried hoes and dung buckets and walked towards their own fields to start a new day of farming.
On the big tree at the entrance of the village, a few birds were singing happily.
The old cow, with its full stomach, pulled the Jiang family out of the village.
As soon as you arrive at the shop.
Jiang Fubao discovered that the seasoning in her jar was missing.
really.
Someone broke into the shop last night.
It is probably the Wan couple.
Jiang Fubao had a sly smile on his face.
She pretended nothing had happened and played alone in the yard.
"Oh no, mother! The wine is gone!"
Zhang Jinlan was kneading dough in the yard. When she heard her second son's voice, she ran to the kitchen without even washing her hands.
"The wine is gone? How come it's gone? Did you put it in the wrong place? Look for it carefully again."
Although I know my second son wouldn't be so careless.
But Zhang Jinlan still searched the kitchen thoroughly but still couldn't find the bottle of wine.
Could it be.
The shop was robbed?
Thinking of this, Zhang Jinlan was frightened and she hurriedly called out to her sons and daughters-in-law.
"Yamato, Shigin, Yingqiu... the rest of you, don't rush to open the shop and start working. Check the shop to see if anything is missing. The wine in the cupboard is gone. I'm afraid it must have been thieves."
I heard that the shop was robbed.
Their expressions also became much more serious.
Separate to check what's missing from the shop.
"Mother, what should we do? This wine belongs to the owner of the Rouge Shop, Yang. I thought it was sealed and I couldn't poison it, so I didn't take it with me. I heard that this wine is very expensive, a small bottle costs one or two taels of silver. Yang said he would come at noon today and asked us to help cool it down. He wants to drink it with barbecue. Now the wine is gone, where can we get it?"
Jiang Eryong's face was full of anxiety.
"Come, take my mother's purse and go to the wine shop to buy an identical bottle. Money is a small matter. We can't let Shopkeeper Yang go without wine. He often patronizes our shop. Don't offend old customers. It's not too late in the morning. After buying it, cool it down quickly."
The flour on Zhang Jinlan's hands had spread all over the kitchen.
She didn't care about touching the purse again.
Jiang Eryong took the purse and ran out to buy some wine.
Fortunately, my shop opens late.
You still have time.
Zhang Jinlan was in no mood to knead the dough anymore.
She paced back and forth in the yard.
"Mom, nothing was missing from the front of the shop, but the drawer was opened. I remember I didn't close it tightly yesterday, so there was a gap. I just checked and it was closed tightly. So the shop was indeed robbed. I'm afraid it was done by the Bai family."
Jiang Yahe lifted the curtain, walked over, and said while gritting his teeth.
"Mom, nothing is missing in the backyard."
"Mom, there are things missing in the room. The things under the bed are all there. It seems that they were not here when the immortals delivered the things. They must have come in the middle of the night. Fortunately, we took the seasonings and other things away yesterday, otherwise they would have stolen them all."
Others responded as well.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they realized that only one bottle of wine was lost.
"Strange, why did the Wan family steal the wine? Could it be that they can't afford it?"
Sun Pingmei was very confused.
"This wine is very expensive. As they say, a thief never leaves empty-handed. I guess he didn't steal anything, but he was unwilling to give up, so he wanted to take the wine away. Otherwise, our shop would be empty, what else could he take? Take those firewood home to burn in the stove?"
Jiang Siyin teased.
Jiang Fubao almost laughed out loud.
She discovered that her father had a sense of humor.
"Mom, they don't really want to do the same business as us, do they? No wonder they always come to the shop and pretend to want to help us. I think they just want to steal our food. We rent her shop, and she only gets two taels of rent a month. If she does business on her own, she can earn it back in half a day."
Zhu Yingqiu's head suddenly made a buzzing sound.
It dawned on her.
"Yingqiu is right. Anyone can choose between earning two taels a month and earning several taels a day. I think they are jealous of our prosperous business. Fortunately, they only lost the wine and one tael of silver.
However, even if they know what seasonings we use, it doesn’t matter. They can’t make money if they sell it at a high price, unless… they raise the price several times. But in that case, why would the guests spend more money to eat at their restaurant? Hum, what a bunch of idiots. "
Zhang Jinlan sneered.
The reason why her family's business is so profitable is all thanks to her granddaughter.
There are no seasonings sent by the immortals.
How can barbecue be sold so cheaply?
So what if the Wan couple stole it?
Spices are sold at prices as high as gold, so if barbecue doesn’t raise its prices, it will only make a loss.
And what is stolen will eventually run out.
Once you need it, buy it yourself.
Then you won’t make any money.
