Chapter 17: Temple Fair (1)

"Three owners, this is the restaurant's account book today, today's restaurant has a total income of 35 yuan and 650 yuan, according to the instructions of the big owner, the odds will be rewarded to the top three guys who work hardest, and then remove 15 materials and labor costs, and a total of 20 dollars are made today, please check the owner. ”

As he spoke, the shopkeeper handed Wang Tieniu a money bag.

"No need, Uncle Wang, I don't have to worry about you. Tie Niu took the money bag, took out two pieces from it and handed it to the shopkeeper Wang, "This is Uncle Wang, your dividend today, take it." ”

"Thank you, the owner, it is really a blessing for my old king to follow you in this life!" said the shopkeeper Wang.

"Uncle Wang, you are polite, our brothers are all babies who have not grown up, if it weren't for Uncle Wang, you would not have been bullied to death in this restaurant. Wang Tieniu tried hard to learn from Xu Chen's appearance and said.

"Who dares to bully you!" The shopkeeper Wang slandered, this shopkeeper Wang was the original shopkeeper of this restaurant, and when Xu Chen took over this restaurant, he really didn't have a manager who could take charge of himself, so he had to leave him behind. Later, I found out that the shopkeeper really had some ability, but he didn't play it under the original owner. When the shopkeeper saw that several of his proprietors were actually teenagers who had not yet grown hair, his mind suddenly became lively, thinking that he would show his hands first and shock this group of little children who didn't know anything.

But after the opening, as soon as Xu Chen's various promotional methods came out, plus the "new bookkeeping method" passed to Tie Niu, the income and expenditure were clearly displayed on a few account books, even a layman could see it clearly, and the careful thinking of the shopkeeper Wang gradually disappeared. As soon as the rewards and punishments promulgated by Xu Chen came out, the shopkeeper Wang followed Xu Chen with all his heart.

"Big brother, today's restaurant is only 20 percent profitable, excluding the bonus of 10% for each of Shopkeeper Wang and Chef Luo, we only have 16 percent. Wang Tieniu came to a table by the window and said.

There were Xu Chen, Lu Hao and others sitting around the table, Xu Chen really couldn't stand kneeling, so he asked a carpenter to make a few sets of chairs, of course, the carpenter is also Xu Chen's person now, for new things that can make money, Xu Chen must grasp it in his own hands.

This is a small attic on the top floor of the restaurant, Xu Chen changed it when he was decorating, and it was used as a place for several brothers to discuss things, of course, the meal was also solved here, after all, Xu Chen's newly bought yard was full of more than a dozen teenagers, and no one cooked, so he could only come to the restaurant to eat with the guys.

This small attic is not big, only ten square meters, a few boxes, a desk and a round dining table, there is not much space left, the entrance of the attic is located in the backyard of the restaurant on the wall of a zigzag staircase, and the restaurant part of the departure. In addition to this road, Xu Chen also secretly built a ropeway to lead directly to the outside of the restaurant, which only the five brothers and Lu Ying knew.

Since coming to this strange world, Xu Chen has always retained a trace of caution, which can also be said to be the fear of strangeness, so that no matter what he does, he has a way back.

"Sixteen is too little! It's 'just that'! The price of rice in our Yuzhang City is only more than 20 wen a bucket, how much can you buy?" Xu Chen really couldn't stand Tie Niu's miser look.

"But on the day we opened, the profit was nearly 100 yuan!" Tie Niu looked unwilling.

"The novelty has passed, and it is inevitable that it will be dull, and if our restaurant is really making money every day, can we hold it with our current strength?"

"Oh......"

"Don't worry, Chef Luo's new dishes are almost ready, and when they are launched, they will be popular again. ”

"Really?" Wang Tie's bull's eyes glowed with gold.

Xu Chen simply turned his head, "Zhu Da, has there been anything special recently?"

"Back to my son, all the news that the brothers have inquired about in the past few days is here. As he spoke, he handed Xu Chen a stack of papers.

This Zhu Da is that clever hand, as soon as Du Rong's case was over, Wu Xian Ling released him, Xu Chen found that this Zhu Da In addition to the thief skills, the light body kung fu is also good, but think about it, if a thief is not sharp, he can't mix it now.

In addition to these, this Zhu Da also has a good vision, his brain turns quickly, Xu Chen asked him to integrate the original Sun Batian's forces, they are all city fox society rats, nothing else, these things to find out the news are still good, Xu Chen allocated some funds to him every month, let him go to find out about the news in Yuzhang City, sort out everything in detail, and report it every few days.

In order to meet the turmoil in the near future, Xu Chen did not forget to train several brothers around him while accumulating strength. Wang Tieniu likes these businessmen, Xu Chen let him be in charge of the accounts of the restaurant and the fish market, Lao Zhou Zhou Kang is responsible for the daily training of the dozen teenagers, and Lu Hao is responsible for planning with Xu Chen, as for Shi Lei is still too young, Xu Chen only asked him to eat more and exercise, it is important to grow up well, and it is not in vain to waste his natural divine power.

"Well done, very detailed, let's go downstairs to eat!" Xu Chen said warmly.

"Yes, Childe. Zhu bowed and retreated.

"Big brother, what's wrong?" A trace of doubt between Xu Chen's eyebrows did not escape Lu Hao's eyes.

"Oh, it's okay, there seems to be something unusual in the city, but it doesn't matter much to us. Saying that, Xu Chen beckoned everyone to eat.

……

"Brother Chen, there is a temple fair in the Fuxian Temple in the city tonight, let's go and have a look, shall we?" Lu Ying said as he stared at Xu Chen with big eyes watery.

"Cat for a while? Well, there must be many... It's delicious!" Shi Lei immediately raised his head when he heard the temple fair, and his mouth kept chewing.

"Stinky stone! I didn't ask you again!" Lu Ying turned her head and her face sank, and then she thought that she couldn't let "Brother Chen" see her appearance, so she immediately turned her head, and she looked sweet again, staring at Xu Chen with her eyes firmly on her.

Xu Chen swallowed the food in his mouth uncomfortably, "Okay" and avoided those eyes with difficulty.

"yes, I can go to the fair. After all, it is a child's nature, and after receiving an affirmative answer, Lu Ying immediately became elated, and then immediately sat up like a lady. The funny appearance made Xu Chen couldn't help but snicker.

"What about all of you?" Xu Chen asked Lu Hao and Zhou Kang, directly ignoring the stone that was also excited.

"Go. Zhou Kang was as concise as ever.

"I'll go too, otherwise Yingying will have to go crazy. Lu Hao's mind as a brother is still the same.

"How can anyone have it?" Lu Ying squirmed, as if she was unhappy that her brother said that she was so unladylike.

"Big brother, I'm not going, I haven't finished reading today's accounts. Iron Bull said.

"Cut, third brother, you are too boring, you know to read the account book every day. Shi Lei's mouth never stopped.

"Okay then," Xu Chen didn't want to dampen Tie Niu's enthusiasm, "What gift do you want, we'll bring it for you when you get back." ”

"I know, I know what the third brother wants! The third brother wants an abacus, a big abacus, preferably the kind with ten beads, so that he doesn't have enough to complain. "The foodie stone has reappeared.

Tie Niu smiled meaningfully, "Yingying, come, these two dollars will buy you something to eat." ”

"Wow, the third brother is really generous today," Shi Lei called out the ghost, and also stretched out his fleshy little hand.

Wang Tieniu immediately distributed the consistent money alone, but Shi Lei was missing.

"Third brother, what about mine?" the stone finally realized something, and looked resentful.

"Here in Yingying, you don't have to be tired, and the money is always good, but it's not light. Tie Niu said seriously.

"Third brother, third brother, I was wrong, can't I do it......"

……

This is the top floor of a restaurant on Nanpu Street in front of the Fuxian Temple, the room is luxuriously decorated but not tacky, the Persian carpet-covered floor is slowly emitting green smoke, and the room is filled with a thick fragrance.

A young man in the wind of Yushu stood by the window, his deep eyes staring at the endless flow of people on the street outside the window.

"Childe," an old servant in a green shirt stood respectfully behind the young man.

"Are you ready?" said the young man, in a deep voice.

"Please rest assured, everything is ready. ”

……

"Brother Chen, look at it, that lamp is so beautiful. Lu Ying pulled Xu Chen all the way forward and trotted forward.

Lu Hao had no choice but to lead everyone to follow behind.

"It's very beautiful," today's Nanpu Street, the lights are bright, bright as day, and all kinds of colored lights can be seen everywhere, illuminating Nanpu Street as if it were heaven and earth.

In Xu Chen's opinion, this scale is estimated to be nothing more than the Shangyuan Festival, of course, he has not seen the grand occasion of the Shangyuan Festival. It's just that today's lights seem to have a bit of a single theme.

For example, the one Lu Ying pointed to, there is a rectangular white lamp in the middle, and there are human-shaped lamps with the appearance of a man and a woman on both sides. And the surrounding lights are either magpies or milky ways, the most exaggerated is the lamp placed in front of a tall building in front of it, a layer of light veil shades a circular pool, in which seven women are faintly seen bathing, and outside a man dressed as a man is hiding behind a bluestone on the side to peep.

When I got closer, I realized that the building was actually a brothel.

"Second brother, what day is it today?" Xu Chen became more and more confused the more he looked, and turned his head to Lu Hao, who had caught up, and asked.

"On the seventh day of the seventh month, the Begging Festival. This time it was Lu Hao's turn to be confused.

"Oh, no wonder. Xu Chen thought about it, he had been in this world for almost two months, he was rescued by the abbot in May, and he "cultivated" in the Huangcheng Temple for nearly a month, and then this qiē that happened immediately afterwards made Xu Chen, an outsider, feel for the first time, it turned out that this qiē really happened, and he really came to a strange world, and began to integrate into this world and become a part of this world.

In just a moment, Xu Chen accepted some questions that he had been avoiding before, and also figured out some things that he had to face, and from this moment on, Xu Chen really began to integrate into this prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Xu Chen, who let go of his worries, looked at Lu Ying who was bouncing in front of him, and shook his head helplessly.

"No wonder you have to pull me out. ”
