Chapter 309: A New Hot Pot Restaurant

The two took the old man to visit the carriage made by themselves, "Uncle! When the order is sent away, we will make a different one for you. This kind of carriage, which can also be called an RV, is mainly used for long-distance travel and is not suitable for ordinary use. I'll also make you a lightweight and compact one, so that you and your aunt can use it when you go out to meet friends. ”

Shopkeeper Chen smiled and looked east and west, "Okay!" I will also give me two such cars, one for the eldest family and one for the second family. Uncle Yinzi will pay for it, don't give me anything for nothing, otherwise Uncle won't want it. ”

"No problem, I can make it for you after the New Year. The master has already taken people to do the main part of the car before, and I only need to go back with them to make the carriage more upscale and then deliver the car.

A car like the one I brought today can only be considered a semi-finished product. I also had to wrap it in raw cowhide and paint it in rainproof. The inner wall of the inner board has to be packed with compressed cotton and cooked cowhide, so that when the car is shaking, the body will not hurt when it occasionally hits the inner wall. There is also this seat, but also with compressed cotton and cooked cowhide packaging, a comfortable sitting, sitting a little longer will not be too tired and too painful, on the other hand, it can also play a certain role in preventing bumps, a car to sit down, at least the bones will not be bumpy. Then give a full set of rabbit fur mats, which will be even more high-end and generous. If it is handed over to others like this, at least it will not look like the money is worthless at a glance! ”

When Erya made this car, she had already thought about how to make the best tall outer packaging for this car. It's just that because of the urgency of time, the car to be advertised has no time to pack. can only be regarded as half-naked pulling out for a walk. Fortunately, I was lucky, and I pulled seven orders on a trip, and the income of 70,000 taels of silver went into my pocket.

Old Man Chen nodded. I very much agree with Erya's approach: "Tens of thousands of taels of silver for a car, people can easily ask you, it seems that it is a family with a bit of power and family background." You have to do better, if you make people unhappy and come to find trouble, you can take off a layer of your skin! ”

"That's it! I also saw that people had the ability to buy this car before I came to sell it, and I wouldn't waste my efforts in vain. Uncle! Let's not talk about that. Walk! Let's go to my family's new hot pot restaurant for a meal. We haven't even been to see it yet! ”

Old Man Chen shook his head and said, "I'm not going today!" That old guy might be here sometimes, so I'll wait here! You go to find Lao Zhang first, their embroidery workshop has been booming recently. Every time his host comes over for tea, he has to say, when you come back, I will invite you to have a good meal. Why don't you go over and have a look! I won't leave you to eat. ”

"Hey! Then we won't be polite to my uncle. That's it! ”

The two did not go directly to Hongxiu. It's the first to go to my own shop 'Children's Clothing World'.

"Yikes! The owner, the lady of the owner, you are back! There were no guests at noon, Zhu Jinling was sorting out the account books at the counter, and felt that the light at the door was suddenly blocked, so she subconsciously looked up. As soon as they saw Xiaohu and his wife, they greeted happily.

"Hmmm! We're back, why are you the only one here? Er Ya replied with a smile.

Zhu Jinling put down the account book in her hand, walked out of the counter, and was busy carrying a stool for the owner and his wife to sit on. While answering Erya: "They went to our hot pot restaurant to serve pots." Ay! That's right, the proprietor. Our family also has a hot pot restaurant here, you know? ”

"Yes! But I don't know the specific address, is it very close to here?! ”

"Yes, yes! Lady of the owner, you are so amazing! That's right. It was indeed very close, the largest one more than a dozen feet east of us. It used to be a wind and moon field, and last summer a foreigner died in it. Originally, he said that he was fine, but he didn't know what was going on, but after a year, the man's family suddenly came to the door. seems to be very capable, and even forced the principal to run away, and the government also sold the building to compensate the man's family.

We are not in favor of buying that building, but Boss Lin doesn't listen to anyone, he must buy it, but I heard that the price is very low, and it is quite cost-effective. Fortunately, business is booming now, otherwise it wouldn't be worth it no matter how cheap it is! ”

Erya and Xiaohu were very confused when they heard it, "Why have we never heard of this dead man?" ”

"Oops! If it hadn't been for the man's house looking for trouble, we wouldn't have heard about it! It was only when Boss Lin bought the building that we found out about it. Boss Lin is quite powerful, he can know about things here before us in that far away place. "I wish Jin Ling a small mouth, and what she said is called a smooth one.

Er Ya naturally knew Boss Lin's energy, so she was not surprised, and she didn't explain anything to Zhu Jinling. "How's business going? What's good to sell and what's bad? ”

Zhu Jinling exaggeratedly shouted: "How can our things be bad? Everything sells well. I'm busy every day, and if it weren't for the time to eat, there would be no one to greet you when you came. Our family's goods are always unable to keep up, and some customers come to chase after them almost every day.

Ay! By the way, the men's wool coat you made for Uncle Chen's family, there have already been nineteen people who have placed an order, and they are waiting for you to come back and make the delivery quickly! Can you keep it busy? ”

This incident was caused by Erya's mistake, the eldest uncle, Hongguo, and the second aunt all learned to make pants with Erya, and they were able to get started independently. As for Western-style tops and coats, they and the female workers in the leather clothing workshop will only use the samples that have been made to proof, cut and sew. As for the model of the wool coat, Er Ya forgot to make the sample before leaving it for the garment workshop. Without a model, the female workers in the garment workshop did not dare to start doing this work, and even the red fruit that had been cut with Erya for a period of time did not dare to make a rash move. Then the matter was delayed, and I waited for her to come back and make it herself.

However, as long as the second girl is cut, there is no problem when those people stitch it by hand. Erya nodded, "I just need to cut it out, I should be able to get busy!" Is it certain when the customer has to? ”

"That's not true, but they all mean the same thing, they have to get it before the New Year, and they must wear that coat to relatives and friends on New Year's Day."

"Oh! There is plenty of time, have you received the deposit? ”

"All of them have received a 30% deposit according to the regulations!"

"Hmmm! Yes! Erya saw that the two young men serving the hot pot came back, so she let them eat, and she and Xiaohu went to the nearby hot pot restaurant to eat first.

"Xiao Zhu, let's go over to eat first, and if you have anything else, go over and call me. We'll be there for a while, and we're not going to leave yet. ”

Zhu Jinling nodded hurriedly and replied, "Hey! Good to come! You and the host will go to dinner first. ”

The two brought the carriage to the hot pot restaurant again, firstly because the carriage parked in front of the shop was a bit of a block, and on the other hand, it was also to make the new carriage have a sense of presence in front of the guests of the hot pot restaurant.

This building looks much more magnificent than the restaurant in the county town on the outside. Maybe it's because of the repaint, it looks bright and clean, and it can attract people's attention. Xiao Er, who was guarding the door, enthusiastically took Xiaohu to turn the carriage around and rushed to the backyard, and Er Ya entered the hall directly from the gate.

Shopkeeper Liao was busy sweating profusely, and it was the rush hour for eating. Because hot pot restaurants are not like ordinary restaurants, they need to pass dishes from time to time, so there are not many small ones equipped with them. As a result, there is a serious shortage of manpower during peak hours. Liao's shopkeeper also has to help add soup, write a list, add a dish or something for customers from time to time. Erya saw Shopkeeper Liao walking around in the gap of the dining table, and wiped his sweat from time to time, so he shook his head funny.

She walked to the counter and saw that the young man in charge of the cashier was none other than her own raised child, Li Changyun.

Erya smiled and spoke to Li Changyun, who was tidying up the countertop: "Changyun! You're out doing things too? Oops, if you're not careful, you've all grown up all of a sudden! ”

Li Changyun hurriedly raised his head, saw that it was the lady of the owner's family, and asked happily: "Oops! Lady of the Owner, you're back! The shopkeeper said that you won't be home until the end of the year, why did you come back so early? Is it good to play? ”

"It was okay, it was all fun. We are also afraid of any accidents on the road, don't delay coming back for the New Year, just think about going home to catch up, who knows that it will be back early, but it makes you feel sorry. "Erya can understand their psychology, it is not easy for people in this era to go out for a walk, and most people will take this opportunity to have a good time, and they will not come back in advance. Er Ya only thought now that among them, there would definitely be many people who regretted coming back too early. However, Erya would rather have another trip than miss the New Year because of playing.

Shopkeeper Liao was finally able to return to the counter, and when he saw Erya, he greeted with a smile: "The lady of the owner is back!" Yesterday afternoon, when I heard from the chief butler that you were back, I thought that you would definitely come here today. ”

Just as Xiaohu put the horse and carriage from the backyard and came to the front hall, the shopkeeper Liao hurriedly greeted Xiaohu again, and then took the two to a private room specially designed for the owner and the owner's relatives and friends.

"The owner, the lady of the owner, you sit down for a while, and I will serve you the pot immediately. Oh, by the way, what kind of pot are you going to eat? ”

Xiaohu looked at his daughter-in-law and asked her daughter-in-law to order, and Erya directly asked for a sheep scorpion, as well as four vegetarian dishes and two baked cakes.

The decoration of this hot pot restaurant is much more reasonable and exquisite than that of the county store. For example, in the middle of the table they are sitting on, above them is a flared chimney, facing a pot with charcoal burning, and the smoke from the charcoal burn and the heat in the pot are sucked away with the chimney. Therefore, the breath in the room has always been very fresh, neither the choking smell of soot, nor the oily smell that is so strong and unique to hot pot.

The second is the window, which can be said to occupy half of the wall. It is a blue glass with a purple and red pattern, and there are a total of four small windows and doors, all of which are movable and can be opened and closed. In the middle of the four sashes is a large, thick log that bears the gravity of the window. The pillars are carved with vivid dragons ascending to the sky, and clouds of various colors seem to be fluttering in the wind. (To be continued......)

PS: I worked overtime for two hours at 0:00 today, and I thought I was going to break the shift today. Fortunately, I gritted my teeth and wrote today's chapter! It's just late, sorry!
