Chapter Ninety-Five: Black Shop?
"What to do? Don't say it's grinding flour, it's better to buy it, it's not cost-effective! Wang said.
Wang Ya is deflated, sometimes, my mother is stubborn, and it makes people unable to resist!
However, the bean sprouts still have to be made, Wang Ya supported a pound of soybeans, and brought a wooden bucket, poured a lot of water into it, and then put the soybeans in, and after a while, a lot of bad beans floated up, Wang Ya scooped up these bad beans, and turned back to the chickens and ducks to eat.
Then he poured all the water out of the bucket, leaving only the right amount, and put the bucket in the kitchen, saying that all the places were not as warm as the kitchen.
Wang Ya went to get beans, and Wang put all the eggs that had been knocked into the soup of tea eggs and boiled them, and put them on another stove.
At this time, Zheng Rong came over and said, "Aunt Wang, there are people outside who want to stay, and besides, the porridge is all out of sale!" ”
"Ah, so fast?" Wang's Road.
Naturally, it's fast, porridge is actually suitable for eating in the morning, a bowl is not full at all, adults generally have to eat two bowls, individual meals are large, three bowls are about the same.
Wang got up and looked at the chicken soup he had boiled, and as soon as he opened the pot, the fragrant smell wafted out, and Wang said: "Okay, the chicken soup is ready, if someone comes, just say that there is chicken noodle soup!" ”
"Hey, that's good!" Zheng Rong said.
Wang Ya said: "Mother, have we done a good job of the price card?" ”
"It's done, but it's not hung up yet!" Wang's Road.
"Then hang it up, save it, we will have to quote money at that time, and people who don't know the way will think that our price is expensive!" Wang Ya said.
Wang answered, went to get the price card, and when someone came again, Zheng Si really reported the chicken noodle soup, and the hand-rolled noodles were ready. Chicken soup is also prescribed, Zheng Rong often only needs to scoop out two spoonfuls of chicken broth, pour it into the pot on a small stove, and then put the noodles in, add a little salt, sprinkle with chopped green onions and shredded cabbage, and add two small pieces of chicken to it, so that a bowl of chicken soup noodles is eight cents.
Fortunately, the price list has been hung up at this time, and the first customer who asked to eat chicken noodle soup is also literate, and he has a bottom about this price. However, when I ate a bowl of hot chicken noodle soup, I felt that it was worth it, and a chicken would cost twenty or thirty yuan. Not to mention that it is boiled so strongly, and the soup inside is fragrant and fragrant. There are also two pieces of chicken. The taste is good, and the noodles are also a fresh thing, which in the Yuelai Inn, a bowl of ordinary noodles costs ten cents, or vegetarian soup noodles, such a bowl. Not expensive, not expensive.
There were many guests who came to eat at noon, and Wang's chicken soup was enough for twenty or thirty people, and Wang thought at the time, if he couldn't finish it. I ate it at my own house, but who knew that it was almost gone, so Wang grabbed Wang Ya and asked, "Xiaoya, what kind of noodles shall we make?" ”
"Hmm, didn't our family order a chicken today? If there's anything to do now, it's really not good, or else, let's go to the village and buy one more! Kill it quickly, or kill our chickens? "Wang Ya doesn't have any good solutions.
It can only be like this, Wang killed another chicken in his own house, which is enough for the afternoon, however, the hot noodle soup is also sold out in the afternoon, Wang thought about it and said: "Otherwise, it will be closed like this today!" ”
The closure was not successful, just because someone was going to come to the accommodation, accommodation, thirty wen a day, no negotiation, this price is a bit expensive, but Zheng Si also explained to the guest: "Guest officer, you look at this price is very expensive, in fact, it is not expensive at all, because do you think that our store is very warm, this house is even warmer, at night, you sleep in it, it is definitely not cold at all, but it is expensive!" ”
In fact, this guest has no other choice, it is dark now, and he doesn't want to hurry anymore, the point is, even if he arrives, the city gate may have been closed!
"Alright then, arrange one for me, by the way, what do you have to eat here?"
"Huh!" Zheng Si made a difficulty, the chicken noodle soup was sold out, Wang Ya was in a hurry in the kitchen, and ran out after the most reluctance, and said: "Guest officer, because we are the first day of business, all the things we prepared have been sold, but we made dinner, if you don't dislike it, let's eat it together, at this price, a total of twenty Wen!" The guest officer can eat as much as you like, regardless of whether you eat well and are full! ”
When the guest heard this, he exclaimed, "What? Twenty Wen, you kill people? But there was no other way, and the guests could only comfort themselves: "I hope it's good!" "The guest regretted it a little, he knew that he should have rushed earlier, but no, he met a black shop.
Wang Ya naturally didn't kill people, the price shouted so high, because the dishes at night were sumptuous, after all, it was the first day of opening, and the family had extra money, so the night was particularly good, there were stewed pig's feet, braised pork, and also made sweet and sour tenderloin, shredded pork in Beijing sauce, potato stew, soup is pork rib soup, very hearty, rice, is white rice.
Wang Ya explained: "Guest officer, twenty yuan, it's really not expensive, if it weren't for you being the first to stay overnight, you wouldn't be able to get fifty yuan!" If you take a look at our dinner, you'll see that our prices aren't expensive. ”
In fact, the guests don't have to choose, Wang brought out the dishes, and the guests saw that they were really not expensive, so many meat dishes, this season, it is indeed very cost-effective.
Because the door was also closed, the family sat at the table in the lobby and ate together, Wang and Wang Ya sat together, Zheng Si and Zheng Rong sat together, Wang Sheng made a position by himself, and the guests sat on the other side.
After Wang Ya's guidance, these meals are used in later generations, especially some tips for making meat and cooking are used, and the things made are fragrant and flavorful, just take sweet and sour loin, which is really crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
This guest felt that his 20 cents were really worth it, and after eating this meal, he felt that all he had eaten before was pig food.
At night, Zheng Si reminded the guests: "At night, you must lock the doors and windows, although there is no danger in ordinary times, but you should also be careful, just in case!" ”
The guest said: "It's good, thank you!" By the way, do you have hot water here? ”
"Yes, do you want to wash or bathe, if you want to bathe, we need to add money here!" Zheng Sidao.
Although a well was dug in the yard, it also cost money to burn firewood! Now the Hakka family has more firewood, you can buy it from the people in the village, the Wang family and the three families in the village are the most difficult, several widows' families have set firewood, a bundle of high firewood, but it is only five cents, however, this can not be blamed for the low price they sell, in fact, firewood is at this price, like these widows' families, hands can not be lifted, shoulders can not carry, pick up some firewood out of the Lu to sell, increase some households, sometimes can not sell it!
With the Wang family's need for firewood at any time, their lives can be better, they can pick up two or three bundles of firewood every day, a bundle of five yuan, and they can earn ten or fifteen yuan, they are very satisfied.
Since the Wang family paved the earth dragon, plus all the places have been paved with kang, this requires a little more firewood, and at least a large bundle of firewood must be burned every day.
The guest said, "How much does it cost?" Forget it, I'll just wash my face! ”
"Actually, it's not expensive, mainly for bathing, it costs a lot of water and firewood, a big bucket, and it costs two cents." Zheng Sidao.
When the guest heard the two pennies, his eyes lit up, and he thought, so much money was spent just now, is this still missing, and immediately said: "Then let's burn a big bucket for me to bathe!" ”
"Well, then the guest waits, by the way, guest, please go this way, we have a special shower here, it is very convenient to wash, I don't know if the guests like to bathe or shower?" Zheng Si said again.
Guest Path; "What do you mean by a shower?"
"Guest officer, you will know the way when you come with me, and you must pack up your clothes!" Zheng Sidao.
These rooms are single rooms, where can guests take a bath, so, on the side of the kitchen, the one in the past is a special bathroom, as for Wang's own room, there are not many rooms, the area is the same, the designed room is naturally large, there is a small bathroom inside, and here, it is a public bathroom, which is divided into two parts, one side is the men's bathroom, the other is the women's bathroom.
The bathrooms are divided into small single rooms, each with a showerhead. It is made of bamboo and wood, and there are two large water tanks on it, as long as one side of the tank is filled with hot water, and the other side is filled with cold water, and there is a switch between the two pipes, so you can adjust how much hot water you want to use.
When the guest saw that this thing was quite novel, he said, "Then I'll use this shower!" ”
Zheng Si poured water on both sides, and then went down to explain the rules of use to the guest, and only then did he come out after seeing that he understood.
Outside the bathroom, there are several large wooden barrels, which are prepared for guests who want to bathe, and when the time comes, just put these large wooden barrels in a private room and pour hot water into them.
Needless to say, these designs were all thought up by Wang Ya, just to be more convenient, even if they are designed in the old mansion, they are like this.
Zheng Si waited outside for the guests to wash up, and then remembered that he forgot to tell the guests where the toilet was, who let himself forget, so Zheng Si could only wait outside.
Finally waiting for the guests to wash out, Zheng Si said: "Guest officer, I forgot to tell you just now, there is no night pot in our room here, if you want to go to the toilet, you have to come here!" ”
Zheng Si took the guests to the corner of the zigzag, where there is a spacious toilet, naturally it is divided into men's and women's toilets, and there are two rooms in each, when it is used up, pull the rope on it, and the water will rush down, which is very convenient and clean.
