Chapter 23: Lucky Stars
While talking, Shopkeeper Yu shouted that his eldest son in the running hall had arranged a simple meal, and despite Wu's resignation, he invited a few people to sit down, and chatted while eating. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"I don't know what Uncle Yu is going to do to sell this tong?" Li Lanhua organized the language: "People don't know that our Laifu Restaurant has this delicious new dish." ”
"Yes," the shopkeeper sighed: "Our situation, you have also seen it, Lan girl, it's difficult." ”
"The girl once heard a merchant say that when many restaurants in Kyoto come up with new dishes, they will bring them to the street and let everyone eat a few bites for free." Orchid held back for a long time, trying to imagine what a ten-year-old baby would look like when she spoke. "Do you know what that means?"
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up: "Wonderful! It's Kyoto! There are many talents, this method is good! As long as the neighbors have tasted our big tongs, they don't have to worry about them not coming to the door!"
"Lan girl, you are really our lucky little lucky star!" Aunt Yu also smiled and agreed.
"By the way, uncle, you are knowledgeable, give us a nice name for this big tong." Orchid wants to be called spicy crayfish, but I'm afraid that bringing the dragon character will violate some taboo in the Liao Dynasty.
"Nice name?" The shopkeeper groaned: "Big tongs, big tongs, big money," and slapped the table: "It's called Fuxing tongs!" How? ”
"Sounds good!" Erlang looked like he was bowing his head and eating violently, but in fact, he had been eavesdropping silently, and at this time, he couldn't control it, and suddenly shouted excitedly, scratching his head: "Blessed and rich!" That's nice! ”
"Haha, I think it's a good name too! It's catchy and auspicious. Aunt Yu also said with a smile.
After deciding on the name, Orchid racked her brains and pretended to be a ten-year-old child, took a few people's thoughts around the key points, explained the precautions, and handed over various explicit hints, and the two people of the shopkeeper finally finalized the plan under the guidance of Orchid.
Laifu Restaurant takes the route of the common people, and has been doing neighborhood business for more than 40 years, and the neighbors in the town generally eat two meals, and some wealthy families also eat three meals. Therefore, after the next day, there is a large flow of people, and business is usually the best.
So a few people decided for the time being: Shen Shi set up a big pot under the signboard at the gate of Laifu Restaurant, picked up the large condiments in the lobster marinade and threw it away, and then opened the pot to heat up the lobster, and the corn tortillas were also attached to the side of the pot. The eldest son of the Yu family, that is, Yu Zhida, the second brother of the running hall in the store, looked at the pot, and the second son Yu Zhiyuan was responsible for shouting.
As for marketing, the preliminary plan is: for those who dine in the hall, one lobster will be given for two taels of wine, and two lobsters and two corn tortillas will be given for half a catty of wine. If you don't drink or consume, one person will give two lobsters to taste at the entrance of the store. While supplies last, and only give away, not sell. As for how to shout orchids, I can't care so much.
After agreeing on the details, the time will be exhausted, and it is agreed that the shrimp will be sent over before noon tomorrow, and the orchids will pick up the basket and prepare to leave. Aunt Yu couldn't help but say that she stuffed a bunch of money and a basket of bayberry to the Wu family, and was so shocked that the Wu family waved her hand again and again.
"Sister-in-law, you take it!" Aunt Yu forced the money into the Wu family's back basket: "Don't be too little, wait for this lucky star tong to be sold, and the day of counting the money will be later!" ”
Orchid thought that if she had money, she could make up some ingredients, so she tugged at Wu's sleeve, "Mother, let's hurry up and buy some ingredients, the lotus should be in a hurry, we have to hurry up and grab the tongs, don't delay Aunt Yu's business." ”
Wu only felt justified after hearing this, and quickly thanked Aunt Yu and took the two children out of the door.
"Mother, how much did Aunt Yu give us?" After walking a long way, Orchid looked at her mother's nervous appearance all the way, and couldn't help but ask, she really wanted to know how much this hanging money was worth in modern times.
"One hanging!" Jiro looked at the orchid with disdain.
"Shh Wu waved his hand at Chong Erlang in a panic: "Don't talk nonsense, this person has a lot of eyes." ”
Erlang was immediately silenced, embarrassed to look at the orchid that was rolling his eyes at him and scratching his head.
"Mother, I haven't seen so many coppers, when I went out, I promised to buy a head rope for my little sister, and I also wanted to buy some medicinal materials. I don't know if it's enough? Orchid whispered to Wu.
"Enough, enough." Wu cautiously looked at no one around, so he took out dozens of big coins from the back basket and put them in his purse, put the rest back into the back basket and covered the mattress and lid, and said in a low voice, "It's enough, this hanging money is enough for us to chew for two or three months when we are not separated." ”
Orchid thought about it carefully, let alone three months, according to her feelings, Grandma Picky should be able to use it for a year, because Orchid really doesn't have the slightest memory of grandma spending money. I never saw my grandmother buy meat, the grain and vegetables were all from my own family, and I and Lotus also dug up some wild vegetables from time to time. Where you may spend money, you can buy some fatty meat, buy some vinegar and sesame oil, and occasionally add some hops, and compare the old Li family's household with the whole society, which is really incomparable. . .
Forget it, go buy something yourself and know the price.
