064 Liu's Restaurant
[Ran^Text^Library] Chen Houji had never looked at these carefully. γRan Library (7764)γ
He originally thought that Shen Rouning asked to stop here, enjoying the scenery of the mighty river and thousands of sails entering the port, but he didn't expect Shen Rouning to ask the carriage to continue to drive, almost going deep into the dock.
Such a busy cargo terminal, full of all kinds of body odors, garbage everywhere, sewage cross-flowing, can never be fresh and clean.
Chen Houji couldn't help frowning.
This kind of place, where a pampered girl's house should come.
Why does his little cousin always act unexpectedly?
But fortunately, without waiting for him to persuade him, Shen Rouning had already opened her mouth to let the carriage turn, no longer going deep like the dock, but driving towards the rows of warehouses on the side.
On the side of the warehouse, it is still the coolie man who pulls the cart or pushes the wheelbarrow or even simply carries the wheelbarrow on his shoulder, coming and going, busy and busy. The March sun wasn't too warm, but sweat was already on their dark faces.
The swarthy sweat was wrapped in all kinds of dust, and it was thrown to the ground with a click, leaving heavy stains one after another.
Shen Rouning did not get out of the car.
After driving for a while, she saw a large apricot yellow flag with the words "Liu's Canteen" written on it, and a bowl of pointed white rice and a pair of chopsticks were drawn. In this way, even the illiterate can be just a restaurant.
Shen Rouning asked the coachman to find a remote place in front of the restaurant and stopped.
"Here?" Chen Houji couldn't help but look out and asked.
"Xiyan's canteen opened by her family, I just remembered it, and by the way, I came over to see how the business is doing." Shen Rouning raised the curtain of the car a little and said to Chen Houji: "Don't worry, cousin, if we don't go down, let's just watch outside for a while." β
Chen Houji seemed a little depressed. He saw Shen Rouning just stop and prepare to take a look, thought about it, and instructed the coachman: "Lao He, you go in and have a look." By the way, I ordered myself something to eat, and I tried more for my cousin. β
The coachman answered, got out of the car, and walked to the Liu family's canteen.
It was almost noon.
Breakfast is served in the morning at Liu's Canteen. Most of them are steamed buns with some radish soup and white porridge and the like, until they are sold out. If it is not sold out, it can be sold again at noon, and it will not be wasted. At noon, there are many large pots of dishes, and there are pickles to eat. There are fried small green vegetables, more of which are the pots of fat stews - fat stewed vermicelli, fat stewed potatoes, fat stewed radishes, etc., the taste is good, and you can see the oil star, the rice is hungry, the price is not expensive, and it is the most popular.
Even more expensive are the slightly more elaborate dishes. It's all made in a cauldron and then divided into plates, and no matter how expensive it is, it's limited. The staple food is soapy rice, or stale rice, which is not as good as the rice used in other restaurants, but it is by no means moldy and spoiled, and it will never be eaten without bad people. In the evening, I still mainly stew rice, but I also make some noodles to sell.
When you do physical work, you never have a full stomach.
This Liu family dining hall has a low threshold, and it is not comfortable with simple but sturdy long tables and benches. But such an environment happens to be the most comfortable place for these low-level laborers who are always dirty. Especially in winter, where there are doors, windows, and hot meals, it is much better than outside.
Come in and sit when you're not alive. When we talk, we smell the smell of food, and the money in our pockets can afford it...... If you have two meals a day, why do you have to solve one meal here?
For example, at this time, although the meal has not really arrived, the people in and out of the Liu family's canteen have been in a constant stream. Look at it from afar. Inside, the lobby is also filled with most of the seats.
"So, cousin......" Chen Houji sat in the carriage and watched for a while, and couldn't help but ask Shen Rouning: "What kind of canteen is this, it's your industry, right?" β
If it weren't for his own, how could he come over to take a look.
Moreover, it is very common for the family of the personal maid to come forward to run the shop industry, which is even more common in large households. But it seems that the Liu family's canteen has also been operating here for a few years, where is Shen Rouning at that time? It's a little bigger!
Chen Houji couldn't believe it, but he had to admit that most of the facts were like this, and then he thought about his uncle and aunt's family, and thought about Shen Rouning's age, and he didn't know what to think.
Shen Rou Ning smiled and did not answer Chen Houji's words.
She noticed that at this moment, a man who was dressed more brightly and looked like the head of the steward walked into the dining hall. After a few words, the man stepped out again, followed by a dozen or so cheerful coolies.
This...... Could it be that Liu's canteen has become a place to recruit and find work?
On second thought, there's nothing that can't be done.
There are always so many people gathered in the canteen, and if there is something to employ someone temporarily, of course they will come here to shout and find someone. Those who are looking for a job and come here to guard are much better than trying their luck outside.
The Liu family canteen can have this scale, and it has not been persecuted by anyone, it seems that Xiyan's father is really capable of means. Shen Rouning felt that after going back, she should pay Uncle Liu.
After a while, Lao He, who was driving the car, came out of the canteen and got into the car, and Shen Rouning said, "Let's go." Cousin, if you want to ask, leave here for a while. β
Chen Houji said gloomily: "I have nothing to ask. β
What to ask, what's the point.
Anyway, it's just that this little cousin is strange and enduring. On the other hand, compared to him, who is a cousin, is simply useless, and he can't straighten his waist in front of her.
"But I need to know." Shen Rouning glanced at Chen Houji and said very seriously.
"......" Chen Houji was speechless again.
Lao He went in, so he said it in detail.
"I didn't expect that in such a humble place, so many people come in and out, the environment inside is actually quite good, at least it is very clean, and there is no black smoke and miasma. Moreover, the rice in the half-sea bowl is paired with a large spoonful of meat slices and vermicelli, which is full of oil and water and full of flavor, so I only charge five cents......"
"Can you eat sliced meat and rice for five cents?" Chen Houji was stunned and disbelieving: "Then what else do they have to earn?" Really won't lose? "If you can operate so prosperously, of course, it will not be a loss. But the question is, how can you make money selling it so cheaply?
"That, second young master, the meat slices are actually very small, and the small ones counted them, and they gave two slices. But there is a lot of vegetable oil and water stewed with meat, and there is enough salt, so the taste is very strong. Lao He was obviously very satisfied with the price of the dishes inside, and said: "Only with oil and salt can we increase our strength." But in the poor family, how many can eat a little oil and water, and are willing to put enough salt and spicy seeds to taste? β
(Two more votes, ask for genuine reading!) It doesn't cost a few bucks, really. The starting point is in the female frequency serial~~Don't find the wrong place~~) (To be continued.) )
