Chapter 218: The Shopkeeper
The latest chapter of "The Peasant Landlord's Wife"...
Chapter 218
As soon as she mentioned this Hui Niang, she shouted, "Go, why don't you go." ”
If the moon cakes are sold well in Baoyuezhai in the future, it will be good for Zhenbaozhai to regret and die, who will let them look down on people so much.
He even dared to look down on people.
Fan Ming nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go." ”
But I couldn't help muttering in my heart, I hope this Bao Yue Zhai is different from this treasure Zhai.
After Hui Niang finished speaking, the group went to Baoyuezhai in a hurry, Baoyuezhai is not far from Zhenbaozhai, just opposite Zhenbaozhai, and it only takes a few minutes to walk.
When I arrived at Baoyuezhai, I saw the three big characters of Baoyuezhai written on the door plaque.
It looks very atmospheric, not lost to today's Zhenbao Zhai, depending on the situation, the original Baoyue Zhai was in Yunzhou City, and it must have been the number one, but for what reason it was squeezed out by Zhenbao Zhai, and now it has become like this.
Different from Baoyuezhai, there are people coming and going in Zhenbaozhai, and there are countless carriages parked in front of the door, but Baoyuezhai is very sparsely populated, and it takes a long time to see three or five people come to the door.
Two shops, open opposite each other, there will definitely be a good and a bad, either the owner of Zhenbao Zhai is anxious to do business, or there is a bigger backer, so as to be so famous in Yunzhou City.
Hui Niang guessed vigorously in her heart, because of the kind of thing that happened just now, Hui Niang is still a little worried in her heart, she shouldn't be kicked out this time, right?
Looking at Fan Ming behind her, Fan Ming looked at her with encouraging eyes, Hui Niang's heart was crossed, and Fan Ming was pulled in, and Fan Lei followed behind with Miao Miao in his arms.
The furnishings in Baoyue Zhai are not worse than those of Zhenbao Zhai, not as high-end and luxurious as Zhenbao Zhai, but there is a unique charm, which makes people feel very comfortable at a glance.
On both sides of the cabinet are a variety of pastries, mainly. The people here do not have the small house in the treasure house, so the dog's eyes are low, and there is no distinction between high and low, as long as the guests come, they will come up very warmly to entertain.
Fan Lei inevitably had something to say, Hui Niang looked at it with a look, and Fan Lei had no choice but to swallow the words into his stomach.
Hui Niang gave Fan Lei a look that counted you as acquaintance.
Fan Lei's face immediately turned a little sneering, it seems that his mouth is hurting others?
"This little brother, is your shopkeeper here?" Hui Niang smiled and asked the little guy who greeted them.
"Here, may I ask a few of you. What's the matter with my shopkeeper? The little guy asked politely.
Hui Niang took out a piece of moon cake from the basket she was carrying and introduced: "Naturally, there are pastries sold to you." ”
Xiaowu is also a knowledgeable person, and when he saw the moon cake in Hui Niang's hand. It doesn't look like an ordinary product, and his head immediately clicks and dots like a chicken pecking rice.
"Okay, a few guests, wait a minute, I'll go and call our shopkeeper." The little guy said politely.
"Okay, then we'll be waiting for you here." Hui Niang was also relieved. Fortunately, this person is also polite, if they are not polite, it is estimated that they will have to find a new place to sell.
After talking to another little guy, he immediately ran to find his shopkeeper.
There was no seat here, and the other guy didn't dare to walk away at will, so he had to talk to Hui Niang. Let them see for themselves, wait for the shopkeeper to come, and then return to their posts.
That's what it looks like. Attitude, admit it really, even if there are no guests at this time, still wipe the table with a handkerchief.
Hui Niang looked at the furnishings while waiting, and said. The furnishings here are no different from the usual pastry shops, but there is something that other people want. Put them in front of you one by one, and you can see it at a glance.
Miao Miao looked at the dazzling pastries, saliva flowed all over the ground, looked at Hui Niang with a blank eye, Hui Niang comforted her a few words, and when she was done with her business, she would buy it for her, Miao Miao immediately nodded excitedly.
In Zhenbao Zhai, the little guy who turned Hui Niang and Fan Ming away just now is complaining to their shopkeeper with more fuel and vinegar.
"Shopkeeper, don't you know, the couple is dressed normally, they look poor, they buy our pastries here, and they still want to squeeze into our treasure house, we have them here that they can come in, I naturally want to drive them away, lest they lose their manners and collide with the distinguished guests.
Who knows that the couple is very rampant, they can't drive away and don't say anything, the man still wants to do something with me, and the woman still makes a lot of nonsense and says, there will always be times when we regret it, do you say they don't know what to do? ”
The little guy looks like a charmer, waiting for their shopkeeper's praise, see what I'm doing right, right?
The shopkeeper snorted and said impatiently: "Okay, drive it away, and drive it away, don't report this kind of thing to me in the future." ”
As everyone knows, this is the most wrong thing for the shopkeeper Liu, he didn't ask, why didn't he think about it from a different angle, if the dignitary deliberately came to tempt, it would be rude to treat the guests like this, right?
Sure enough, when Shopkeeper Liu heard that his rival had made a comeback, but because of the couple, it was already late, and he regretted it in his heart, he knew that he should let the little guy repay him well, and he would not lose this opportunity to make a lot of money.
That's a later story, so let's not mention it for the time being.
Just looking at it, Bao Yuezhai's little guy came over, followed by a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing ordinary fabrics, which was a cut off from Hui Niang's imagination, and was energetically coming in the direction of Hui Niang, but a pair of brows were tightly locked.
Hui Niang didn't say anything, smiled and looked at the little guy to introduce them, and the little guy said: "A few guests, this is our shopkeeper, surnamed Zhang." ”
"Hello shopkeeper." Hui Niang politely said hello.
Shopkeeper Zhang glanced at Hui Niang and his party, and pulled out a smile, "A few guests, if you have something to talk to me on the second floor, Xiaoliu, you can go upstairs with me to greet guests." ”
The little guy called Xiaoliu hurriedly answered.
When he arrived at the private room on the second floor, the shopkeeper Zhang invited Hui Niang to sit down, and he didn't make any bends with Hui Niang, and asked straight into the gun: "This ......"
Looking at Hui Niang, who was similar to her daughter, Shopkeeper Zhang didn't know what to call her.
Hui Niang introduced herself with a smile: "Shopkeeper, just call me Hui Niang, this is my father-in-law, surnamed Fan, a single name with an inscription, this is my father-in-law's younger brother, a single name with a Lei character, this is my daughter, called Miao Miao." ”
When the shopkeeper's eyes looked at Miao Miao, Miao Miao shouted very obediently: "Hello shopkeeper grandpa." ”
Shopkeeper Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "Well, Miao Miao is fine." ”
Fan Ming and Fan Lei also greeted Shopkeeper Zhang one after another.
As soon as Hui Niang saw this shopkeeper, she knew that he was a cheerful character, and without waiting for the shopkeeper to speak, she explained her intention, "Shopkeeper, this time we came, I recently studied a fresh food, no, is it almost the Mid-Autumn Festival?" I did it, and I want to sell it to you here, I don't know if you want to buy it. ”
"Fresh food?" Shopkeeper Zhang suddenly became a little interested, "Can you take it out and take a look?" ”
Shopkeeper Zhang had already noticed the basket that Hui Niang was carrying and the basket that Fan Ming was carrying.
As soon as she heard the shopkeeper say this, Hui Niang hurriedly took out a few moon cakes from the basket she was carrying with a cloth and put them on the table.
Shopkeeper Zhang looked at the yellow moon cake, found that there were also engraved words and patterns on it, and secretly felt that this pastry was made cleverly, and looked up and asked, "I don't know what the name of this pastry is?" ”
"Shopkeeper grandpa, I know, my mother named this moon cake, and it was eaten on the day of the fifteenth day while admiring the moon." Miao Miao said like a treasure.
and babbled with the shopkeeper Zhang about the story of Chang'e running to the moon.
Hui Niang saw Miao Miao's appearance of playing treasure, and didn't interrupt her, let her continue, she estimated that now the shopkeeper must be moved.
When the shopkeeper Zhang heard this, he was a little nervous in his heart, and said excitedly: "Hui Niang, how can this be sold?" I bought them all. ”
Shopkeeper Zhang was so excited that he forgot to taste this moon cake.
I knew that the shopkeeper was now spinning in his mind, thinking that if he had this moon cake, maybe it would be time for them to come back to life in Baoyuezhai.
The couple glanced at each other and knew that the shopkeeper was in his heart.
"Shopkeeper, what price do you want to buy?" Hui Niang didn't raise the price, to see if this shopkeeper was sincere.
Seeing that Hui Niang was tentative, the shopkeeper Zhang was not annoyed, and was thinking about what price was more appropriate in his mind.
Speaking of Hui Niang, she was also a little apprehensive at this time, she bought pastries, and the last time she bought a small bag of pastries, it cost seventy or eighty yuan, it can be seen how expensive this pastry is, but I don't know how much money the shopkeeper can pay to buy it.
Fan Lei thought that Hui Niang wanted the lion to open his mouth, who knew that the third sister-in-law would ask someone else to set the price, which was too unbelievable.
When the shopkeeper Zhang was thinking about the price, he couldn't help but take a bite of the moon cake, chew it slowly in his mouth, and his face showed a look of enjoyment.
Suddenly, the shopkeeper Zhang looked up and asked Hui Niang, "Hui Niang, are there any other fillings for this moon cake?" ”
Hui Niang nodded, "Yes, there are five or six flavors to choose from." "Indeed, when Hui Niang was adjusting the filling, she made several flavors.
What lotus paste, taro, almonds, and this flavor is also sour and sweet.
"Okay, then I'll take it, how many mooncakes have you brought now?"
"I don't count that." Hui Niang pointed to the back basket to show him, and the shopkeeper Zhang was very happy when he saw it, and asked Hui Niang to count it well, and then set the price.
There was nothing, and there was no place to put the moon cakes, so the shopkeeper asked Xiaoliu to take a special board for pastries, so that Hui Niang could count a few people.
The moon cakes I made yesterday and night were not much, and there were more than 100 moon cakes, and I was eaten by the shopkeeper just now.
Now there are only one hundred and five moon cakes left, and the shopkeeper Zhang is suddenly a little embarrassed.
In the end, the price set for the moon cake was 60 yuan a piece.
