Chapter 49 Braised Lamb with BBQ
Zhu Youlang looked at the people who were named Hu and the surname Huang. He looked at the people at the scene and thought to himself: "How similar is the current situation of public opinion today? Shameless literati have the right to speak, as if their words represent the highest moral standard, while the people can only watch silently and be judged. Of course, in addition to Sun Laosan, the idle man, Sun Laosan came forward because he had a relationship with the person surnamed Hu and understood what Hu did. He did not understand any truth. I am afraid he would look down on women in his heart for opening a shop. From this point of view, it is very necessary to establish a propaganda tool to guide public opinion, but it should also be seen that solving ideological problems is a long way to go and it cannot be achieved overnight."
Zhu Youlang looked at the plaque hanging above the store door, and saw that the five words "Lala Tailor Shop" were written vigorously and vigorously, with a rigorous layout, which was not the work of an ordinary literati. He thought to himself: "It seems that the owner is a very courageous woman. The person who wrote the plaque for her is also a master's calligraphy, but it seems that he is not a simple person. Then he needs to be aware of it."
Thinking of this, Zhu Youlang stepped into the store.
When I entered the store, I saw three or five customers, including men and women, all of whom were strolling around and watching the fun, but they didn't make clothes.
Just think about it, even if the owner has the cutting and sewing skills of the Seven Fairies, few people dare to do her business in full view.
The owner of the shop was combed with a bun. He was a young woman in her twenties. She was pretty, but tall, with bright eyes. She followed the shop with a smile and greeted her. There was also a teenage girl next to her.
It seems that there are only two women in this store, the boss and the guy.
"Young Master, are you making clothes?" When the shop owner saw Zhu Youlang, Dai Yihua and Bai Gui entered the shop, his eyes lit up and he hurried forward to say hello.
"Yes, make clothes." Zhu Youlang replied.
"Oh, did you do it yourself or do it for this lady?" The owner asked hurriedly.
"Uh, that's it for me brother." Zhu Youlang pointed at Bai Xing.
"That's great, young master, I'll tell you, the store opened today, and this is your first business. Thank you very much." The female owner said happily, and then greeted the little girl: "Xiaofeng, come, measure the size of this big brother."
"No need to thank you. If my skills are good, my brother will get married in June and all the clothes will be made by you." Zhu Youlang saw that this woman spoke happily, unlike Xiaoyu, who felt good about her and was determined to take care of her business, so he said generously.
"Oh, that's great. The shop is also complimented with the groom's joy." The female shop owner was even more happy when she heard this.
After discussing business, it was hard to talk about the topic. Zhu Youlang then gave Ah Hua a wink, signaling her to come forward to ask questions, and touch her background.
Ah Hua Bingxue was smart and immediately understood what Zhu Youlang meant. She smiled and went up to talk, "Sister-in-law, you are so beautiful."
"Hahaha?..., this lady is really good at speaking. Miss, you are really handsome. Compared to you, I have become old bark."
When Zhu Youlang heard this, he couldn't help but look at Dai Yihua with admiration: "This little girl is OK. She knows what women like to hear the most, and knows how to quickly get closer to strangers. It's good. I don't know how her father gave birth to such two good daughters."
"Sister-in-law is so modest. Alas, sister-in-law, have you done business before?"
"No. I just make clothes for my family, and sometimes I also make some needles and threads to sell, but I have never opened a store."
"Then, sister-in-law, aren't you afraid of others saying it? Look at the people outside talking about it."
"The mouth grows on others, and you can say whatever you like. If my sister-in-law cares about this, she can still show up in public? They just joke that women shouldn't open a shop? My sister-in-law doesn't believe it anymore. Why are women worse than men? Men are so capable, will they have children? Can they be skilled in needlework? My sister-in-law is just not convinced, so she just opens a shop and is angry with the big men!"
"Sister-in-law, that's it, but we women have to be careful when they show up in public. What if they meet a prodigal son, what should we do if they are a gangster?"
"Tsk, Miss, sister-in-law, you're worried. Look, where is this place?"
“Where?”
"Guangzhou City, the emperor! Who dares to do anything randomly? The Public Security Bureau has now arrested a lot of those little bastards. The market is very calm and safe. Besides, the sister-in-law, who is a little slick, doesn't bother with him. If she dares to touch her, would she see? I will kill him with a scissor." The female shop owner raised a pair of scissors in her hand and said viciously.
"Hahaha, sister-in-law, I feel so happy to hear you speak. I am worthy of being a strange woman!" Zhu Youlang saw the woman so fierce, and a familiar style appeared in front of him, making him feel as if he had returned to his later generations, and immediately felt very happy.
"Thank you, my son for your compliment!" The female shop owner thanked her.
"Sister-in-law, you are the only two of you in the store, can you be too busy? Where is your elder brother?" Zhu Youlang asked.
"My master is a scholar. He is good at writing and painting, and he can't do physical work." The female shop owner replied.
Zhu Youlang was stunned. She called her husband the "master". She obviously had fame and fortune. She had fame and no official position. She should be a Juren. Is the life of a Juren so difficult? Let his wife show up in public and earn money to support her family?
"Sister-in-law, there is a man at home, why are you still coming out to make money?" Ah Hua also felt incredible, so she asked.
"I'm used to it, I earn money to support my family. When I was in my hometown, I took Xiaofeng's family alone and planted forty acres of land, using the harvest from the land to support my master. Miss, I tell you that I am a good farmer, and the food I get in the field is no less than others..." The female shop owner replied.
Hearing this, Zhu Youlang's heart moved, probably already understood the identity of this woman.
"Sister-in-law, your hometown is from Kunshan?"
"Yes, yes, that's from Kunshan."
...
On the way back to the palace, Zhu Youlang said to Ahua: "Ahua, aren't you going to open a restaurant? Then let's open it, I agree."
"Ah? Really? Brother, you are so good." As soon as Ah Hua heard this, she almost jumped up happily.
"Ahua, don't be too happy too early. I'll ask you, what restaurant do you want to open?"
"Brother, I haven't figured it out yet. What restaurant do you think you're going to open?"
"Open a mutton restaurant. The main dish is braised lamb, and it's fine with some stir-fry dishes. In addition, you can also serve as mutton barbecue."
"Mutton Restaurant? Can it work?"
"Don't worry, you can do it. You will come to the palace tomorrow. I will let the imperial chef make it for you to taste it."
