Chapter 20: That Thing Tastes Good

In order to protect Chen Xu's safety, Li Er not only arranged civilian guards near Chen Xu's house, but also had special people to protect him when he traveled.

Since he recognized Chen Xu, Chen Xu has been his own person, and in Li Er's heart, Chen Xu's status is very special, how can he not protect it?

However, the protector beside Chen Xu did not show up, but immediately contacted the Xishi Fang official after the accident, and the guards here came to arrest him in person.

Qin San immediately reacted, this young man's background was not simple.

After all, he has been in the West Market for many years, and he has been doing business here since the Great Sui, so he didn't know that these guards came strangely, and it wasn't because of this person in his hands.

The group of people looked at Chen Xu, and Chen Xu waved his hand: "Forget it, just teach a lesson." ”

Then he threw an ingot of ten taels of gold at Qin San's feet and left directly.

This group of guards beat Qin San's people violently, and then dispersed again, and the commotion was not small, and some well-intentioned people around naturally remembered Chen Xu, and secretly said that this person should not be provoked.

Qin San was holding the gold on the ground at this time, not to mention the pain of being beaten, this was a trivial matter, but he knew that he had missed a big man from now on, and he couldn't help crying without tears.

Chen Xu changed his teeth to look a little more honest, and there was a group of people around this middle-aged man who were helping out, both accomplices and thugs.

However, compared to that Qin San, this group of people looked much kinder, and they had a good attitude towards the people under them.

Chen Xu asked them to choose four men and four women for themselves, two of which were required to be physically strong and able to work, and the other two men and two women were required to have smart heads and be able to speak, and Chen Xu had different requirements for their division of labor.

Let's not talk about the work, the smart and talkative ones are used to solicit business, serve food and usher in the like.

Eight people in one breath can not only rescue them from the sea of suffering, but also completely solve the problem of insufficient manpower in Chen Xu's restaurant, and then the second floor can be opened and used.

After bringing them back to the restaurant, Zhang Gen and Alun naturally taught them to work, and Chen Xu went to the blacksmith shop to make some ironware.

These include iron pots, iron bed frames, shelves, iron cabinets, etc., as well as shoe racks, tongs, etc.

In short, Chen Xu is at least not bad for money now, these iron things are prepared, and they can be used in the restaurant, but the restaurant was too simple before, and there was nothing.

This is a large order, and the total number of zeros and zeros adds up to dozens of items, and it takes more than a few hundred catties of iron.

Due to the proximity of the blacksmith shop, the blacksmith Wang, who was in his forties, knew Chen Xu's identity and also knew that the business of Chen Xu's restaurant was booming, so he immediately patted his chest and agreed, he would call all the wives and children in the family to help, as well as a few apprentices.

Close the door and work well for the shopkeeper Chen, these days are busy, it is estimated that the money earned is worth a year's hard work, and the shopkeeper Chen is generous.

"Work hard, I'll look for you from time to time in the future, it's very hot now, and the temperature in the blacksmith shop is also very high, I'll have someone bring you a few bottles of drinks to relieve your fever."

Chen Xu patted Blacksmith Wang's stiff shoulder and left in his compliment.

"Master, drink, what kind of drink, mung bean soup or syrup?" After the other party left, one of the apprentices of the blacksmith Wang hurriedly asked.

Blacksmith Wang said excitedly: "Fart's mung bean soup, you will know when the time comes, that thing is delicious, sell a jar of money in the restaurant, I can't imagine that my blacksmith Wang can also enjoy this blessing!" ”

"A few of you cheer me up, you can't make any mistakes, you can build as much as you can, don't be afraid of wasting iron!"

Chen Xu's favor immediately had an immediate effect.

Although Xinghuafang is relatively close to the imperial city, it is not the Northeast Fuguifang after all, and the street seems to be prosperous, but there are some abandoned or temporarily unused shops and houses.

At this time, the population of Chang'an City had not completely increased due to the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and there were currently less than 500,000, which was normal.

Chen Xu thought about acquiring several houses and stores around, but the restaurant was still too small, and it was estimated that the location would not be enough if he tossed it a little.

Zhang Genzheng is working with a few guys, the two capable female guys are very sensible, consciously tidying up the kitchen and everyone's living room, and Alun is teaching the two sensitive little girls some etiquette things.

At this time, the weather was also hot, Chen Xu took out the fruit beer that had been frozen in ice overnight and put it on the counter.

The guests waiting in the restaurant immediately cheered and hurriedly asked Chen Xu to send this thing to them.

The sky was too hot, and the ancients had neither air conditioning nor fans, so they relied on hiding in the shade to resist, which was simply miserable.

There are also some wealthy businessmen and people with weapons who rushed here today, they are anxious to travel, but they really don't want to be exposed.

After hearing about the fruit beer, I waited here, wanting to see the power of this thing, and when the time came, I drank it while walking, so that I could relieve the heat without delaying things.

However, when they drank it, the terrifying coldness swept over their bodies, and they couldn't speak with their mouths open, that they realized how amazing this thing really was.

It's much more magical and effective than the legends of the neighbors, this can go down, no, maybe only a few sips, standing under the sun they are not afraid!

How much less sin you have to suffer, it's worth the money!

After all, ice cubes are scarce in this season, and the big guys can't use them, they have money and nowhere to get them.

"Everyone, starting from today, our Chen Xujia will start to introduce a new cooking series, stir-frying, the price is not expensive, and I hope you will pass on more news to let more people know about Chen Xu's family."

Chen Xu saw that everyone looked enjoying it, and took the opportunity to advertise, and everyone received Chen Xu's favor at this time, so they naturally agreed without words: "It's easy to say." ”

After cleaning the second floor, Zhang Gen and the others began to arrange new tables, chairs and benches, Chen Xu was thinking about the soap production line at this time, and sat on the bed and wanted to take off his shoes.

Because I didn't concentrate enough, I didn't take it off.

"Damn, I need slippers! What the hell is this situation, you have to wear such thick shoes to walk around in your own house on a hot day, not to mention the stinky feet covered, and it is inconvenient to walk and put on and take off. ”’

Chen Xu complained that every night he washed his feet was a touching smell, what can he do, he still wears such thick shoes on the hottest day, and his feet are smelly no matter how fragrant they are.

"Ding, a strong desire of the host has been detected, and a temporary mission is now issued."

"Improve the night lighting of Chen Xu's house, you can get slippers."

"Officially operating the night market, and to the satisfaction of 1,000 people, you can get a slipper production line."

Lighting conditions, night market ???

Chen Xu was a little confused, and quickly thought about what this meant, the temporary task came in time, as long as he completed it, he would have slippers to wear.
