Chapter 189: A Side Story, Doing some Business

After sending Huangfu Rou and others away, the killing of the hawk demon came to an end.

Shen Qing watched Zheng Yuanqiu ask Chang Sui to pick up the demon's body with a pained expression on his face, and did not stay in the Weiwu Si Yamen office for long.

He said goodbye to Zheng Yuanqiu, changed his value tag, and walked slowly towards the small house he bought in Yongzhou.

There are still many demons around Yongzhou, but from Shen Qing's observation, most of them are secretly hiding in the dark, occasionally eating a few people, and have not yet come to the point of openly confronting the county government.

After all, behind the county seat stood the Great Zhou Dynasty, and all the masters there were countless.

Those demons who are enlightened can understand the horror of it just by asking around a little bit.

Monsters such as the harpy who are tired of living and high-profile cannibals are actually not common.

In the next period of time, if Huang Tianjiao didn't cause trouble, it was foreseeable that it would be a peaceful and relaxing life.

It's getting late.

Shen Qing led the horse and wandered to the door of his house, and happened to see Shen Xiaoshan rushing home carrying a sack.

"Brother! You're back." Shen Xiaoshan greeted Shen Qing at the side and greeted him loudly.

While greeting, he put down the full sack and carried it to the door with one hand.

Shen Qing looked him up and down and said, "Has your cultivation improved recently?"

"Brother, you eat so well here every day, how can you not make progress?" Shen Xiaoshan said with a smile: "My strength is not small now. I can even carry this bag of soybeans with one hand."

"It seems you still have some talent for martial arts."

"Hey, I don't have any talent. It's just practice. Brother, please stop complimenting me."

"What I said is the truth, not to compliment you. If you practice hard, you will be successful."

Shen Qing patted his shoulder and opened the door.

Shen Xiaoshan took the reins from Shen Qing's hand with great discernment, and walked into the house with Shen Qing holding a sack of beans in his other hand.

There is an Eight Immortals table in the small courtyard. The eldest sister Shen Fang is wearing an apron and is carrying plates of hot dishes. When she sees Shen Qing, a joyful look flashes across her face: "Qingzi is back. Brother Xiao has just made the meal. It's just the right time." No need to wait, eat while it’s hot.”

Shen Qing also took off the long knife hanging on his waist, took off the black official uniform of Wei Wusi, put it on the cabinet at the door, walked to the table, stretched his neck and took a closer look: "So many dishes?"

"Brother Xiao came back early today. He didn't have anything to do, so he started to do more. I don't know if it suits your taste." The eldest sister Shen Fang explained simply.

"Of course Chef Xiao's skills are incredible. He could afford to open a restaurant." Shen Qingsong loosened his wrist and said, "It's getting late. Let's call my uncle and aunt to come over for dinner."

"I'll call them."

After a while, uncle Shen Er, aunt Wang and others came out of the kitchen.

As usual, Shen Qing let them sit in the first seat and he sat in the second seat.

The remaining Shen Xiaoshan, Xiao Zhi, Tian Xiaohu and the eldest sister were unwilling to attend the banquet.

Even though Shen Qing repeatedly emphasized that he didn't care about this, these people still abide by the rules here, and Shen Qing no longer forced them.

I have to say that Xiao Zhi's cooking skills are very good, and the food on this table is no worse than in a restaurant.

Shen Qing had a great time eating this meal.

He even took a pot of wine and drank with his uncle Shen Er.

If there were no monsters in this world and those messy troubles, Shen Qing couldn't help but feel that his life would actually be quite comfortable.

After drinking for three rounds, Shen Qing noticed that his uncle Shen Er was hesitant to speak several times, and couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, do you have something to say to me? We are all a family, there is no need to hide it. ”

Uncle Shen Er let out a long sigh and said, "It's not a big deal. It's just that our family depends on you for food and clothing both inside and outside. I always feel a little uncomfortable."

"Hahaha, I thought it was something." Shen Qing stepped forward with a smile, filled a glass of wine and said, "When we were in Hongshan Village, my family relied on my uncle for support. Now I don't have a father. Mom, it’s the right thing to raise an uncle and aunt now.”

Although he doesn't have much silver in his hand now, he still has three pieces of dog demon skin, an eagle demon pill and some eagle feathers.

There are also other scattered things. If you want to exchange money, you can always exchange some. In addition, the salary of his official position must also be distributed.

In general, it is enough to barely cope with life as a family.

Uncle Shen Er glanced at Shen Qing with a look of relief on his face, but he still shook his head and said: "This is different. At that time, our two siblings were still young. If they didn't rely on others, they would have died in the deep mountains and old forests. Now that we have arms and legs, we always feel uncomfortable sitting like this every day.”

"Don't blame uncle for nagging. We have so many people and the expenses are not a small amount. With so many mouths, we really can't rely on you to support us all the time."

Shen Qing picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

He gradually understood what Shen Er meant.

This situation is just like the rural parents who were brought to live in the city by their children in the previous life. They are in a boring state where the environment is not suitable for them.

The best way is to find something for them to do.

Of course, what Uncle Shen Er said made sense. It was not an option for everyone to rely on him to support them.

Now that the family has a big business, the expenses are not a small amount.

If he wants to continue to make progress in cultivation, the cost will be even greater.

Shen Qing couldn't help but look at Xiao Zhi, who was standing not far away, and suddenly had an idea in his mind.

He called Xiao Zhi and asked, "Brother Xiao, I will teach you a few dishes. Do you think we can open a restaurant?"

"Junior Brother Shen, can you cook?"

"No, but I know how to cook some dishes." Shen Qing put down his wine glass and said, "I'll write it down for you to see. If it works, you can all help me. I can collect some information at that time, which will be good for my work in the Weiwu Division. It's better than you guys being busy like headless flies now."

Xiao Zhi didn't agree immediately, nor did he refuse: "Let me see what the dishes you are talking about look like. This place is not like Taiping County. There are many varieties of restaurants, and the taste must be good to make them."

"I'll write it down for you to see in the evening." Shen Qing nodded and said.

At night.

Shen Qing carried the oil lamp, combined with the local customs and habits here, recalled carefully, wrote a few classic dishes from his previous life, and handed them to Xiao Zhi the next day.

Xiao Zhi didn't hesitate and made them in a few seconds.

Xiao Zhi tasted it and found that the taste was absolutely delicious. All the dishes were new to him.

You should know that he had to beg his grandfather and grandmother to learn a dish, and he spent a lot of effort to learn it.

To Shen Qing, these skills were inherited from other people, but he dared to show them off as if they were free.

For a moment, he was shocked.

"How is it?" Shen Qing asked.

"The steamed pork with rice flour, roast duck, nine-turn large intestine, sweet and sour carp, and boiled pork slices given by my junior brother." Xiao Zhi said confidently: "These dishes are enough to support a restaurant."

Shen Qing clapped his hands and said: "That's good. Let Xiaohu pick a good place these days and try a small one first. Anyway, we are free."

"Okay, I will watch it with Xiaohu when the time comes."

"You two decide, and tell me when the time comes. But we have limited funds and can't open a big one."

"We know the importance."

Shen Qing nodded and didn't go into details on this issue.

After all, this kind of business is just a minor one, so just leave it to Xiaohu and the others.
