Chapter 231: Lee Kee Grocery Store
Li Xin said with a smile: "Indeed, it is a rare thing to be able to return to my hometown to be an official. "Master Zhou's luck is really good, and he was able to return to Nanbai County to be the county magistrate. I don't know if it's really good luck, or when I was in the capital, I had already arrived at someone's door to have such good luck.
However, in any case, it doesn't have much to do with Li Xin.
"I'm very happy to be able to come back to my hometown, and I hope I can do something for the people in my hometown in the future!"
"I also believe that Lord Zhou will be a good official." Li Xin smiled slightly.
"I've been out for a while, and it's time to go back. Take it for me, Wenbo, and Wenhao, let them study hard, and if they come to the county seat, they can go to the county government to talk to me. If Miss Li has any trouble, she can also go to the county office to find me. Zhou Fuzi said and stood up. However, in the future, he can no longer be called Zhou Fuzi, he should be called Zhou County Ling, or his name, Zhou Mingxuan.
"I'll send it to the prefectural magistrate." Li Xin didn't do much to keep it, but sent Zhou Mingxuan out. Caixia had already wrapped some dim sum from Yipinzhai, and when she arrived at the door, Li Xin asked Caixia to hand over the dim sum to Zhou Mingxuan.
"I'm just here to sit, why am I embarrassed to accept Miss Li's gift." Zhou Mingxuan didn't reach out to take those snacks.
"It's not a gift, it's just some snacks made in my own shop, give it to adults to taste, and I hope adults don't dislike it. After all, the adult is Wenbo and Wenhao's husband! I thought the adults wouldn't see me. ”
"Miss Li has said everything about this, if I don't accept it, it will be bad. Then I'll thank Miss Li for her kindness and see you another day. Zhou Mingxuan finally took those snacks.
"If you have free time, you can come and sit, this place is fortunately quiet."
"Yipinzhai is really a good place, not to mention the quiet and elegant place, the food is also well done, if you have leisure, you will definitely come and sit more."
After sending Zhou Mingxuan away, Li Xin and Caixia returned to the house. Li Xin had to sigh, this world is really small, Zhou Mingxuan will come back to Nanbai County to be the county magistrate! It turns out that Master Zhou is really a Jinshi and the first, and he has become an official, if they know about Wenbo, they will definitely be very happy for him!
"It turns out that the young lady actually knows the new prefectural magistrate!" Caixia also sighed.
"This Lord Zhou used to be a master in the academy in Sanshi Town, and he taught Wen Bo and Wen Hao for a while. So I got to know each other, but I didn't expect that the new magistrate of Nanbai County would be him. ”
"It's rare to see such a young official, I think he should be a very talented person!" Although there are many officials in the world, there are still not many who became officials at a young age. After all, there are so many literati in the world, and it is not easy to stand out from thousands of people, and then step by step on the list and become a two-list jinshi.
There are so many people who read in the world, and there are still very few who can really be officials.
"Lord Zhou's journey can be regarded as smooth sailing! After winning Xiucai, although he staggered the time and failed to take the township test directly, he won the township test in one fell swoop. After that, he directly hit the Jinshi, and there are really not many people who are so smooth. Li Xin suddenly remembered the sentence "The spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day". Speaking of which, this Master Zhou is really proud.
There are really not many people who have smooth sailing in the imperial examination, after all, many times, luck also accounts for a large part of the way to success. Even the great poet Nalan Xingde did not have smooth sailing in the imperial examination.
Sometimes, though, it's not always smooth sailing. If there is always no way to bump in life, then, if you encounter a setback, I am afraid that you may fall and then collapse. And those who have been going through ups and downs will not have to be afraid of any difficulties and obstacles in the future.
After that, the Li Kee grocery store was quickly prepared, and within a few days, it opened.
On such a big day as the opening, Li Xin naturally passed early in the morning. She also asked the chef of Yipinzhai to make some dishes with vermicelli, and when the grocery store opened, she gave them to onlookers to taste for free. After all, no one has ever seen such a thing as vermicelli, let alone eaten it, so if you don't let you taste it first, how do you know if it's delicious or not.
And for those who come to buy vermicelli, Li Xin also asked people to explain to the guests how to eat vermicelli.
There is free food to taste, but it attracts many people. Ordinary people are greedy for small gains, which is also human nature. Cheap is such a thing, naturally not greedy for nothing.
Many of the people who have tasted it will buy vermicelli. Vermicelli is a delicious and inexpensive thing, and it can be regarded as inexpensive. The price is not expensive, it is within the range of everyone's acceptance, and everyone will naturally buy some and go back to try it.
On the first day of opening, the income in the store was very good, and Li Xin was relieved, thinking that business would continue to be good. Yueting also took a bowl of spicy hot and ate it very happily, that little look, it was really cute. The weather is hot, and there is little appetite for eating a lot of things, but this kind of thing is still attractive, sour and spicy, and it is really refreshing to eat a bowl.
In the evening, there is no business in the grocery store, and if you want to buy vegetables, you naturally have to buy them early, who will come out to buy them in the evening. And there is a point in the county town, and the vegetable seller will not sell it all day long. If you go to the market, you may sell it all day, but on weekdays, you only catch the morning market early in the morning.
As the name suggests, the morning market is a gathering in the morning, and the time is generally not too long.
Therefore, everyone is actually used to it, and they rush to the market early in the morning, and they usually buy whatever food they buy early. After all, the vegetables are sold in the market, and none of them are sold in shops. There are only some dried vegetables, such as dried mushrooms and dried fungus, which may be available in grocery stores.
However, everyone is also used to buying groceries in the morning, and after the morning market, business will not be very good. Today, the reason why Lee Kee Grocery Store has always had business during the day is because there have always been dishes made of vermicelli as gifts, and everyone will come to try them.
However, by the end of the evening, there was really no business left. By this time. Most of the other shops are closed. It's a restaurant or something, but there are still people having dinner, so it's open. There were no guests, so Li Xin closed the door and took Lu Feng and others to Yipinzhai to eat.
The people in Yipinzhai naturally ate in Yipinzhai. And the people at the grocery store, Li Xin also asked them to go to Yipinzhai to eat. It's not that there is no kitchen here, but if you open the fire, it will be a bit troublesome after all. It's better to go to Yipinzhai to eat, it's ready anyway.
Moreover, the places are not far apart, and it doesn't take too much time to walk.
"I didn't expect that the business would be so good as soon as the shop opened!" On the way to Yipinzhai, Li Wenxiu sighed happily. Although the grocery store is not hers, she is also very happy to see that the business in the shop is good. Business is good, busy and thoughtful, if business is not good, people who are idle all day long panic, it is not good at all.
"Yes! Business is really good today, and if it can continue like this, it will be really good. Lu Feng also smiled. Lu Feng was originally a person who liked to laugh, always with a sincere smile on his face, and it was easy to give people a good impression. Li Xin felt that Lu Feng was really born to be a shopkeeper, and he was always smiling, which made people feel that the spring breeze was blowing in their faces.
If the shopkeeper has a straight face all day long, it will really affect the mood of the guests.
"In the future, it will not be easy to be so good every day. However, a good start can always make people see hope, and I believe that business will get better and better in the future. Li Xin smiled shallowly, although it was not as grand as the opening day of Yipinzhai, but it was also very good.
Mainly, today is just a small grocery store opening, so she didn't build momentum in advance. This time, she didn't invite any rich and noble families, even the Zheng family, she didn't invite.
However, Li Xin sent some vermicelli and rapeseed oil to the Zheng family and gave them to the Zheng family to taste.
"If the eldest brother and the second brother saw that the opening was so lively today, they would be happy to come, but they have to go to school, so they can't come and see it." Tsukika smiled gently. Today, because Wenbo and Wen Hao didn't come, she was still a little disappointed.
"In the future, there will be a lot of shops in our house, and they will not be there every time they open. The two of them are now studying hard is the right thing, and today's scene, they just haven't seen it, and we can tell them about it! Wouldn't that be nice. "The grocery store opened, and Li Xin didn't plan to let Wenbo and them come.
There are classes in the academy, and it is not easy for them to skip class, besides, although this road is not very far, it is more tiring to go back and forth, so don't let them toss. The last time Yipinzhai opened, the two of them were tired from a good toss. It's not a big deal, and there will be more and more shops in the future, so you can't always let them watch the opening.
"Actually, although there are many shops in our house, I have never been able to sell anything in the shop! Today, it's really interesting. Ling Feifei smiled and grabbed Li Xin's arm.
"There are so many people in your family, where is your turn to sell things! That is to say, there are still few shops in our house, so we sell them ourselves. If there are more shops in the future, it will naturally be impossible to take care of them all. Li Xin rubbed Ling Feifei's head. R1152
