Chapter 37 Small Shop
"Big brother, does the wound still hurt?"
The night was quiet, Li Chun lay on the bed and asked in a low voice.
Li Po snorted twice, today he came back in embarrassment, and a room full of people asked for warmth, even if it was a little warm at the beginning, in the end, it was a little annoying.
"It's okay, hurry up and sleep on you."
"Big brother, are you going to kill again?"
In the dark, Li Po frowned, how awkward it sounded, and couldn't help but reprimand: "Killing people is a joke? You think we're going to die, don't you? ”
In the dark, Li Chun pursed his lips aggrievedly and muttered: "If the eldest brother goes out at night again, is it good to take Xiaochun with him, wait alone, afraid." ”
"Sleep with you, your eldest brother is not a fairy, he can slaughter all the people who offend him, some people will be killed, and some people will not be killed if you want to, okay, in two days, practice knives with me, this world is really not peaceful."
Li Chun nodded his head fiercely on the bed, full of excitement, thinking, after practicing the knife, if anyone dares to offend the eldest brother, he will quietly slaughter the person, so as not to bother the eldest brother, in this world, except for the eldest brother, who can't be killed?
In fact, when Li Po came back covered in scars, who could understand the anger in this child's heart? ……
The days finally calmed down, and the tax collector sent someone to send two pieces of money, which was quite kind.
But Li Po accepted the money, but he would never go to the city gate to deal with the tax collector again, and if he was too close to such a person, the benefits were not necessarily much, but it was really dangerous.
However, these two pieces of money solved his urgent need.
There was a small shop in the market, and a food banner was erected at the entrance of the big house.
Li Po took people and dug a very scientific ditch in the backyard, which was connected to the ditch in the market, so that it was no longer cold and desperately poured sewage out.
A few days later, the Shi brothers came over and were surprised to find that the merchant they had sold firewood that day had actually returned to Li Po, and the two brothers couldn't help but admire.
The arrival of the two brothers also made Li Po happy.
Chai He's matter fell on the two brothers, and by the way, the manpower problem here was solved.
After a few days, a few big men full of mountain and wild breath entered the city and came directly to the human market, not only carrying a lot of firewood, but also a few people could not leave.
Speaking of which, it's quite helpless, a room of people, not a few, but the manpower is just not enough, there is no way, a group of old and weak women and children, about to catch up with the good hall.
If it were someone else, it would have been eaten by an open mouth, and the restaurant didn't do that.
But Li Poxun's livelihood is really tricky, but he can feed them to the full, and he can also take care of those people who stay in the camp camp.
These big men are the thugs of the small shop, they don't have to do work, just watch the store, according to Li Po's thoughts, this place in the human market is really not good, no one is in town, sooner or later someone will come here to make trouble, it doesn't matter who you know, and whether the fuck is a murderous house......
Just like him, a homeless person who had nothing dared to bring people here to sell firewood, and he sold it, which is actually very revealing.
And the two yuan given by the tax official also made Li Po spend a lot of money.
The main hall of the big house has become the main body of the small shop, which actually looks similar to an inn.
Get some tables and chairs, and the big house will become a small shop.
The deed required to open a store has also been saved, which is not the ability of Baixun City, but also the blessing of the tax officer.
The big house is occupied for nothing, and you can actually do what you want to do, and you don't have to worry too much, and you don't even have to pay taxes.
Li Po is very well prepared, he doesn't know much about business, but he can't help it, he has seen and heard too much, when it comes to business, there are really few people who can talk about him in these years.
Three and a half big babies, a man and two women, after being taught by Li Po, became the runner of the small shop to welcome customers.
When it opened, it didn't toss, and quietly erected a food flag.
Well, the business was so-so at the beginning, and most of the things made went into the store's own mouth.
However, soon, when the two people who patrolled the market and several gatekeepers of the market began to frequent the small shop, and became more and more familiar with the young shopkeeper, the reputation of the small shop spread in the human market.
There were finally more customers, but not much, after all, Li Po never concealed that what was the main ingredient of the food in this small shop made many people shy away.
However, the income of the small shop is still rising day by day, and there are more customers who come back.
Time gradually came to the end of November of the sixth year of the Great Cause.
Here in Mayi, it has also entered the coldest time of the year.
At this time, Bao Tang finally entered the recipes of various merchants in the northern side of Mayi.
Because of this season, the food is very simple, and the treasure soup adds a lot of color to the recipes.
Many people have begun to get used to it, and when they get up in the morning, they go to make a bowl of steaming treasure soup, accompanied by the store's new dough cakes, and have a sweet breakfast.
Of course, the business of the small shop is getting better and better, not only because the haggis soup is very suitable for the taste of northerners, but also because word of mouth has spread.
It is also because the price of rice and noodles is gradually rising this winter.
In such an era, it is a very terrible thing for the price of rice noodles, which is the staple food of the people, to rise in winter.
Because the government generally deliberately calms down grain prices in winter, so as not to resent, and after the autumn harvest, no matter inside or outside the city, the people will face a long waiting period, waiting for the next autumn harvest to come.
If food prices rise in winter, what about spring? What about summer?
In fact, this is also the reason why the ability of the north to resist famine is much weaker than that of the south......
However, in the autumn of the sixth year of the Great Cause, there were no disasters or wars in Mayi, but the price of grain began to rise in the winter, and the impact on Mayi Lishu would be very far-reaching and huge.
Of course, Li Po didn't think too much, he was only pleased to see that the business of the small shop was getting better and better, and he was a little distressed that the newly launched dough cakes were sold, which was a bit uneconomical.
So, I didn't want to get some soup cakes later.
In fact, it is precisely because of the low price of haggis and the fact that it can make people eat a full meal that makes it so attractive to customers.
At this time, after the price of rice and noodles rose, the men living at the bottom of the market first felt the pressure.
Emperor Wen's large-scale grain storage system once made Emperor Wen Yang Jian proudly say that it can be used by people all over the world for ten years, that is to say, everyone can eat for ten years without doing anything.
It can be seen that in the last years of Emperor Wen, how abundant the big warehouse was.
However, in the year of the Great Cause, after only six years of work, the government was unable to stabilize grain prices.
Of course, this is not only because in the past six years, the emperor has tossed a lot and the treasury has gradually emptied, but also because no one dares to open a position easily.
