Chapter 47

Next, how to do good deeds?
Stealing from the rich and helping the poor has been robbed several times.As for other methods, Meng Xiaocom really didn't think of them.Just when she was bored by this, she suddenly discovered a strange thing by accident.

Sister Zhang goes out to buy vegetables every day. It stands to reason that it only takes one stick of incense to go to the vegetable market, but it takes her two or three sticks of incense each time.

Normally, Meng Xiaocom would not pay attention to such things, but when her curiosity came up, she couldn't control it.She didn't want to follow behind quietly to find out, so she asked Sister Zhang casually during the meal.Unexpectedly, Sister Zhang blushed immediately and stared at her toes for a long time, but remained silent.

Uncle Huang also looked embarrassed, and picked up lettuce, which he didn't like most on weekdays, with three chopsticks in a row.

Now, not only Meng Xiaosuo, but even Mrs. Wang saw the clue, immediately called the two of them upstairs after the meal, closed the door and talked for a long time.

On the second day, Meng Xiaoshu got the good news from Mrs. Wang that Uncle Huang was going to marry Sister Zhang.

It turned out that Uncle Huang took over a carpentry job recently, and worked in the employer's yard during the day.Sister Zhang happened to pass by that family when she went shopping for vegetables. Every time she deliberately slowed down, looked at Uncle Huang a few more times, said a few homely words to him, or helped with chores.

It turned out that they had fallen in love with each other a long time ago, but others have not been aware of it.A lot of troubles happened recently, and finally there was a happy event. Naturally, Meng Xiaosuo was very happy, but Sister Zhang was full of sadness.

Meng Xiaoshu asked directly when she was free, and learned that Sister Zhang had a daughter named Li Qiaofang who studied embroidery in the embroidery village. She was 11 years old this year and she was very stubborn.When she heard that her mother was going to marry a man she didn't know, she immediately lowered her face and refused to agree to anything.

"This is your business, not hers. She is young, so don't take it to heart." Meng Xiaosuo comforted her.

Big Sister Zhang sighed: "But she is my daughter after all, and she feels sad, so naturally I can't be happy. And if she doesn't recognize Brother Huang as a stepfather in the future, Brother Huang's face will not be good-looking."

Meng Xiaosuo thought about it, so she asked about the location of the embroidery shop, and wanted to persuade Li Qiaofang.Gu Zhiyuan also wanted to go, but he should have been imprisoned at this moment, and his face was so eye-catching that almost everyone in the town had seen it, so he had no choice but to stop thinking about it.

Meng Xiaocom's advantage is that she has scars on her face, and she usually goes out with her face covered. Not many people in this town know her.

Just when she was about to go out, a person approached the door.

This person is the shopkeeper of Yaoyuelou. He has met Meng Xiaosuo several times before. Even though Meng Xiaosuo dressed up in disguise, he recognized him at a glance: "Aren't you..."

"I know, logically speaking, I should be in prison, but Governor Duan has a lot of people and released me. By the way, not many people know this news, so don't spread it." Meng Xiaosuo wrote in a letter .

The shopkeeper nodded, not thinking about robbing the prison, and asked her: "That day, you seemed to want to invite me to the Moon Tower for wine. I heard a long time ago that your acquaintance opened a restaurant here. The wine shop happened to pass by here, so let's take a look."

The shopkeeper is also the master of who he meets and what he says.Before Gu Zhiyuan's accident, he always called himself "little one" in front of Meng Xiaosuo, and respectfully called Meng Xiaosuo "Ms. Meng".This time, they said "I" and "you" one by one. Although the attitude is not so bad, it has changed a lot compared to before.

Meng Xiaoshu thought about it, and suddenly remembered that the bandit's den had been destroyed by Yun Feitian.And the person who served the wine to Yaoyuelou was able to cooperate for so long because of his relationship with the bandits.I heard from the shopkeeper a long time ago that the wine of that person is not very good.Now that the bandits have collapsed, Yaoyuelou should be looking for another wine merchant.

"Just drink some of our wine." Meng Xiaoshu greeted Mrs. Wang, and led the shopkeeper to taste the wine.

Mrs. Wang is best at Nurhong, and Sister Zhang is best at Zhuyeqing.These two wines have sold very well since they opened.

Up to now, the restaurant has not even hung up the signboard. The shopkeeper came this time just to try his luck and didn't hold much hope.After tasting the wine, he was overjoyed and full of praise, and immediately signed a contract to try to do business with the wine shop for a month. If nothing goes wrong, he might buy wine here in the future.

As soon as Sister Zhang heard about it, she was very happy, but Mrs. Wang was calm, and after negotiating the price, she signed the document.After the shopkeeper left, he discussed with Meng Xiaosuo, wanting to recruit some apprentices to make wine together.After all, Yaoyuelou needs a lot of wine every month, and Mrs. Wang and Sister Zhang can only provide a very small part. If the store is expanded and turned into a winery, the business will naturally be done Big.

However, every business has risks.

One must be very cautious in recruiting apprentices, one has to choose good character, hard-working hands and feet, and quick-witted minds. If someone is unkind, there is a high possibility of trouble.

Moreover, it is not easy to expand the storefront. The shops on this street are already full, so they can only go to another street to find a location. Relocation often easily leads to the loss of business.The repeat customers who finally got here are used to buying wine and drinking here. If they suddenly move to another street, some of them will most likely choose other nearby wine shops.

Meng Xiaocoma thought about it carefully, and temporarily suppressed this matter, wanting to settle Sister Zhang's marriage first.

Xiuzhuang is not far away from here, it can be reached in a short walk.Meng Xiaosuo had lunch, bought some pastries on the street, went to the embroidery village, and asked an embroidery lady in charge about Li Qiaofang.

It just so happened that Li Qiaofang went out to buy fabrics with her master, so Meng Xiaosuo waited here for a while, before seeing Li Qiaofang came back for a while, she walked around with nothing to do.Unexpectedly, after walking, I saw a horrible scene in the alley.

The alley is very old, and the surrounding houses are unknown, and they are all crumbling.A few barely-clothed children, who should have pouty cheeks, were all thin like bamboo poles, sitting on a few bluestone slabs in the alley, looking at the passers-by with eager eyes.

Deep in the alley, a wild dog trotted past with half a steamed bun in its mouth.A seven or eight-year-old child who was so thin that he couldn't distinguish between male and female, followed behind crying and chasing, with tears and snot running down his face, looking at the situation, he wanted to snatch the steamed bun from the wild dog's mouth back!
Competing with dogs?

Standing at the entrance of the alley, Meng Xiaosuo suddenly felt cold in his hands and feet.

In the last life, after being abandoned by her father, why didn't she live such an inhuman life?Later, she was picked up by Aunt Shui and brought home, so she was able to fill her stomach.

After being stunned for a moment, she took out the cake she brought to Li Qiaofang, and waved to the children sitting on the bluestone board.
