Chapter 187: The Whole Place of Rest
Because I was in a hurry, there was no housewarming or anything like that.
Second Sister Zhang prepared three tables and more than a dozen benches in the hall on the first floor, which was a resting place for the villagers who came to the town to catch up. They are all like this, and the people who come down from the mountains and live in the town will provide a place for the villagers to rest on the day of the rush. The wealthier ones at home also steamed a large drawer of bubble cakes with hot water at any time, and freshly pickled pickles and hot sauces were served on the cutting board.
You don't have to pay anything to come here to stop and drink water, you can come and go at any time. It's easy to eat, save a little of the food you brought, and if you want to eat some soaking cake, put the food on a wooden shelf next to the board. As much as you want, even if it's a green onion.
The people here are quite simple, there are no really stingy people, even if there is really no extra vegetables at home, they will leave a bag of tender wild vegetables for the owner's family, or leave a small bottle of home-made hot sauce.
Second Sister Zhang's family doesn't care about these dishes and sauces, the customs must be observed, she did it herself, made things the day before the scene, and put them on the stove early the next morning, put them at the gate, and let the villagers take them.
Her family's steamed rice not only uses more glutinous rice, but also more sugar. There's also a layer of steamed buns and flower rolls, and even a pot of bone broth on a custom-made double-headed stove, with shredded kelp in it giving off a strong fragrance. Chopped green onions, salt and other seasonings are stacked on the board, so you can eat them yourself.
Everyone thought she wanted to do business, and she didn't dare to come for two days at first, but later found out that the second sister was simply giving everyone a place to eat, and then there were more and more people.
They rushed to the town on the 369th day of the lunar calendar, nine days a month. The food provided by the second sister in these nine days could not even come back, but it was unanimously praised by the villagers in the mountains. Taken by her, other families also try their best to provide better things to the villagers. But not everyone can do this, after all, Second Sister Zhang has other sources of income, and others are worse.
"At first I wanted to make buns for me, but then my mom scolded me and said that I was doing it by roasting other people on the fire. Later, I thought about it, I don't care what other people care, I don't take money, and other people are embarrassed to collect money, so if you go on like this, you have to bring down other people's families. So I thought, why don't I buy the wing of the old ancestral hall at the entrance of the town, and make it the guild hall on our mountain? Oops, anyway, whether it's or not, buy it and toss it there, repaint the wall and cover the roof, leave two rooms as a place to eat, and other rooms to play cards for the old people, and a big room in the innermost, Xiaoxin said to fiddle with it, and make it a place where the sisters and sisters-in-law with the baby can rest and feed. Sister Jia, do you think this is okay?"
Second Sister Zhang went to Sister Jia's house with fresh game to ask for support. She is not from the town, and if she wants to do this, she can't start from the mayor's side, and it is best for a small cadre like Sister Jia to help her.
"It's not easy for you to make some money, can you just toss it in?"
"Why can't it work? Xiaoxin said, here can let the clan elders be responsible for management, I and other wealthy families, give some sponsorship every year, and then make two propaganda boards on the edge of the dam, on the one hand to publicize the policy, on the other hand for advertising the people we sponsor, and there are places to post any notices or whatever. And as before, it doesn't cost you to soak in boiling water, but if you want to eat to fill your stomach, you have to give money, not much, about half of the store or a little more, no matter how cheaper than eating out. The money is collected to keep it running. ”
They were chatting on the balcony of Jia's house, and the hostess of the house next door was also picking vegetables on the balcony.
"That's a good idea, but if you're doing that, you'd better get a business license. Otherwise, it won't be easy to say when the time comes. Moreover, the commercial tax in our town is not heavy, and if something happens, the government will judge you, and it is easier to convince people that you are operating properly. In the future, even if you don't rush to the market, you can still open it. ”
The hostess next door is a tax collector, and she chatted with Second Sister Zhang with great interest. Sister Jia gave them an introduction, and she was busy cooking vegetables.
"Yes, Lao Jia, let's just have dinner together in the same room today, just chat, so that the family can also have two drinks. ”
They are all people who work in the same unit, and they are already familiar with each other, and it is not uncommon to eat together. The two families made seven or eight dishes, opened a bottle of wine, and the children went to eat with bowls, and the adults chatted enthusiastically.
The final result was to turn the small hall into the form of a reception station, and also made a minibus, saying that it was good to find some connections to get the line license and open for business. The bus runs the line of Zhangjia Village, detours, and makes a single cycle, which is enough to meet the traffic needs of the villagers in the mountains three times a day.
This also has the advantage of gradually gathering the villagers scattered in the mountains, whether it is to relocate them to the bottom of the mountain in the future, or to build a concentrated residential area in the middle of the mountain, it is more convenient than finding someone to run around the mountains now.
Second Sister Zhang turned her head and told the village chief about it, as for whether the village chief wanted to do it or not, she couldn't care. Anyway, she won't lose money if she buys it, and if the village doesn't do it, she will do it herself. The mountain specializes in game, and the mountain does general catering, and then sells a little mountain goods and the like, so you can do business even if you are not in a hurry.
The village chief thought more and more completely, accompanied by his son, he pulled the two old brothers from the next village and the village secretary to the town together, did not inform the second sister, a few old people walked around the old ancestral hall, and chatted with the old people under the old tree next to the ancestral hall wall for half an afternoon, and went to the second sister to sit for a few minutes before leaving.
"Erniu, let the village handle this matter, you can take the lead, you can sponsor things, and try to leave you out of the rest, it's not that the uncle doesn't miss you, this thing has really become a channel for money from several villages, if it is too deeply involved with you, it will not be good for you. If you don't understand, go back and ask your Abba. ”
The second sister frowned and listened to the village chief's words, didn't say anything, and sent a few old people away in an orderly manner.
When the man came back from work in the evening, she talked about it, and her man also felt that the old village chief was right, and it was best not to get too involved in his own family. Seeing that the second sister was still a little unwilling, her man pulled her down and talked to her little by little.
"There's definitely going to be money to be made in the future, that's undeniable, isn't it?"
The second sister nodded, if she didn't make money, she wouldn't have come up with this idea.
