Chapter 177 Borrowing

Shuijia Noodle Restaurant is a more famous tavern in Jingjiazhuang, I heard that it has been passed down for three generations, and the scale is also not small, occupying a whole courtyard.

The catering industry in the Ming Dynasty was actually quite developed. However, popular diets such as hot pot, skewers, and barbecue are not very popular. It's not that there are no restaurants at all, and there are a few restaurants that feature it. But the purpose is only to satisfy those customers who try it, and the grade of these restaurants is also relatively low.

Therefore, in some crossings, what made barbecue, hot pot, pig-killing dishes, etc., and those natives ate them with tears in their eyes? Anyway, when it's a story, don't take it seriously. In fact, what if you eat these at the time of a treat? Then hehe, the specific results can be made up in the brain.

At this time, the catering industry has developed to the extreme. The color, flavor and flavor are only second-rate, and the top dishes depend on the rarity of the ingredients and the complexity of cooking.

In a way, if you don't take into account the degree of luxury, the modern catering industry is actually not as developed as the Ming Dynasty. For example, in this era, there are high-class banquet dishes, which are just placed for the sake of looking good, reflecting the noble value of inviting guests, and the materials are expensive. What nine courses, eighteen courses, etc., the most typical is the one hundred and eight dishes when the emperor was dining. Even with this kind of social climate, these people can't be completely blamed for their waste. Of course, these dishes are also edible, and they all taste very good. However, people who can serve this kind of banquet will basically never use chopsticks.

However, Shuijia Noodle Restaurant belongs to the kind of more common, and its characteristics are all kinds of dishes with radish as the main ingredient. However, now, it will definitely not be a very simple boiled radish, such as radish shredded sea cucumber, radish boiled prawns, radish yellow croaker soup, etc., in fact, it has already been a primary and secondary reverse.

When Qin Bai came to the Shuijia Noodle Restaurant, Tie Sheng had already ordered the noodles. Glancing at Tie Sheng, and finding that there was tiredness in his eyes, Qin Bai smiled and sat down to pour himself wine. I thought I would be a big man, but it was not so easy to raise so many brothers.

Noticing Qin Bai's expression, Tie Sheng couldn't help laughing: "Bai Er, do you feel that I am becoming more and more imposing?" ”

picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said with a smile: "I didn't wear flowers today, bad review!" ”

"! I bought a few new silk flowers, when will I give you one? ”

"Hehe, thanks. On behalf of my daughter-in-law, I thank you! ”

"You don't understand this, do you? The silk flowers worn by men are different from those worn by women. Eh, do you really want to take that Ding girl? It's nothing to find a few women to have fun, but there are rumors outside that you have fallen into the gentle country, and you have lost the sharpness you had at the beginning. It's good to buy people's hearts with money, but don't hold your fists back? Don't forget, this is Jingjiazhuang! ”

"Huh."

Qin Bai understood that Tie Sheng was kind, but he didn't want Tie Sheng to know about many things. So I changed the subject: "What about the leopard?" ”

"Arrange for the brothers to start work. I'm throwing all the trouble at him. Tie Sheng smiled, "By the way, Bai Er, I really have something to do with you today." Can you lend me some, I can't arrange it here. ”

"Oh? So busy? Qin Bai was a little surprised.

"Hey! It's not that the martial arts hall has come forward to make peace for Junye, and the situation in the salt gang is not good. That's why I use our brave winners, but I want too much at once, and I'm a little bit less here. ”

Then Tie Sheng gave a brief introduction to the situation. It turned out that the situation of the Salt Gang was getting worse and worse, and Feng Sihai took the initiative to come forward and wanted to make peace with Huang Jun of the Salt Gang. On the rivers and lakes, such a situation is not uncommon, and there is a natural rejection of outsiders, especially in the face of the group of Yangzhou salt merchants.

However, it is impossible to make peace with oneself alone, and you need to properly brighten your muscles. Therefore, this time Feng Sihai dispatched, and took away a group of subordinates from the martial arts hall. But as a result, there are not many people. So he asked Yongsheng to draw out manpower, so it couldn't affect the business of Hefu, right?

Originally, according to the prior agreement, the personnel provided by Yongsheng should all be Tie Sheng's subordinates. However, the increase in business volume also made Tie Sheng overstretched.

Qin Baile was happy, he didn't expect such a chain reaction to occur. He smiled and asked, "Tiezi, how many people do you have now?" ”

"More than five hundred, right? I didn't count it carefully. ”

"More than five hundred is not enough?"

"You really don't know. There must be about 200 left here, right? Buying charcoal and watching the field all require manpower. I thought it would be enough, but I didn't expect it to happen. It's a favor for me, how's that? ”

"Then Feng Ye didn't give an explanation?" Qin Bai asked again. It is said that there are only 200 people a year, but now it is far more than that. You know, there is no benefit at all in fulfilling such obligations. Except for dry food, you don't need to bring your own, everything else needs to be solved by yourself.

"Uncle Shi gave it. Thirty percent of the freight belongs to us. ”

Qin Bai smiled and nodded, sure enough, there are people in the court who are good officials, and others may not have such cheap things at all. After thinking about it, Qin Bai nodded and agreed: "Then give you fifty people." It's an emergency between brothers. You keep the money yourself, and I will pay the salaries of these fifty people. ”

Qin Bai didn't look down on these petty profits at all. However, I can't just bury my head in hard work, I also need to accumulate experience in the rivers and lakes. And the Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall has been traveling south and north for so many years, and it must have a few brushes of its own, which are difficult for outsiders to learn. Since you have such an opportunity, you might as well go and learn a thing or two.

"Fifty? Too little, right? "Tie Sheng is not satisfied, he is indeed a little anxious at the moment.

"Fifty for you. Brother, I've given you all the old stuff. Qin Bai said with a smile. The reason why he was willing to give people was because of the experience points, but he didn't think about working hard for the He Mansion and the Zhenwei Martial Arts Pavilion. Therefore, the ones who choose are better in equestrian training, and they can escape in time when it is critical.

Tie Sheng's eyes lit up: "That dare is good!" Ha ha! What he thought was that those who could ride horses were generally strong in martial arts, and their combat effectiveness could at least be a top three, and Qin Bai was not perfunctory. If you recruit a hundred or so miscellaneous soldiers at random, led by those on horseback, it should be enough.

"I have a request, though. The fodder is yours. ”

"No problem, it's a trivial matter."

"And there is a centralized use, you can't separate them, at most they can be divided into two batches?"

"Don't worry, they're all my own brothers, and I can't bear it? Thank you! Shall we take a walk? ”

"Huh."

The two of them had a drink and chatted for a while, and Tie Sheng suddenly asked, "Bai Er, there is something else I want to ask you, it's not that empty land in the human market that wants to find someone to take over." You're not interested in taking it? If you have a lot of land, you will have more brothers, and it is on the edge of the East Second Square, can you give it to me? In the future, the East Second Square will all be left to you? ”
