Chapter Sixty-Seven: The First Guest

In three days, this stinky pit that was originally full of garbage was turned into a tea shop with two shacks, one large and one small.

The muddy path that was difficult to walk on had also been built into a five-pace-wide dirt road, and the four-and-a-half-year-old children in the winter were still dragging stone grinders back and forth.

In front of the shed was an open and flat ground, and a few little babies were bending over the ground with snot and carrying bamboo baskets, and whenever they saw stones the size of chickens, they would dig them out and put them in the bamboo baskets next to them, and then carry them to the well behind the shed.

This well is called the "fool's well" is Liu Dasha shovel after shovel dug out, although only digging a thin layer to let the blocked spring flow out of the water again, but Liu Dasha thinks that it is the new well he dug out, the big guys know that his head shell is not bright, so they don't care about him in general, listen to him show off a lot, I don't know who secretly engraved his nickname on it, and then the name of this well was spread.

Four windows were opened on the three walls to supplement the light, and an additional three-step wide doorway was opened in the wall facing the bazaar for entry and exit.

As soon as I entered the shed, the first thing I saw was a large wooden counter with some messy things on it, and there was a reclining chair behind the cabinet, so that you could lie down and rest for a while when you were not busy, and collect money and keep accounts here.

There is a small corridor from the cabinet to the door, and there are four pillars on the left and right sides of the corridor, and this shed is supported by these eight pillars.

There is a square wooden table between every two columns, and four long wooden benches, so that the place where the guests drink tea is complete, and there are a total of twelve tables on the east and west sides, which are full.

There is a small door on the left and right of the middle cabinet, they lead to a place that is the back kitchen, saying that a kitchen is actually a small shed, a stove and a bellows account for one-third, and the other third puts four small tandoors, which are used to burn large iron kettles, and the last few empty spaces are put some messy things, and this small shed also has a small back door.

Open the door to see, there are two large water tanks on the left, the water in this tank is used to fight the fire, after all, it is an all-wood structure, and it is necessary to keep burning the fire, it is easy to walk the water and have to prevent it, and on the right is a large pile of dry firewood, which is covered with straw to prevent the snow from wetting the firewood.

If you need to wash something, take it to the well, there are two large bluestone slabs, I don't know where they picked them up, anyway, it is very suitable to be placed here, it is particularly convenient to wash and wash on it, there is a small pool of one foot long and wide in front of the bluestone slab, behind it is a dirty puddle, and it is easy to freeze and slip when splashing water all over the ground in winter.

In front of the tea shed, there is a pole and a long pole, on which a triangular cloth flag is carried and the three big characters of "tea shop" are written.

At present, the shop can only provide large bowls of tea to drink, and the tea is only the loose tea that is often sold on the market, and it is not expensive for two cents per person, you can stay as long as you want, and you can also bring your own tea if you feel that the tea is unpalatable.

After all, the shed was newly built, and there was still some dampness inside, and the dog lit four stoves in it, and the bright flame steamed hot, and the dog lit the fire twice after the fire was smoked.

This time a large handful of incense was put in the stove, and the smoke was all over the house, and when the incense was finished, the dog kept two stoves, and put the cloth curtain at the door, and the shed and the outside were obviously two temperatures.

The four windows are covered with rough white paper, so the light will be slightly yellow when it comes through, and you will feel a little sleepy after staying for a long time.

This tea shed dog plans to arrange four people to guard, one is responsible for collecting money and keeping accounts is the so-called "shopkeeper", one is responsible for boiling water in the kitchen, and the remaining two are responsible for ushering in the delivery, serving tea and pouring water.

Whether it's the shopkeeper or the little guy, the salaries of these four people are all the same, all of them are zero! Those who dare to ask for wages are blasted out and continue to be beggars, and a group of people almost vomit blood from the dog after three meals a day, wages? The dogs themselves don't have any.

Seeing that more than 20 people in front of him raised their hands and wanted to come to work in the tea shed, the dog's head was dazed.

After arguing and arguing, no one was selected, and the dog had to mess around.

"Those who can write and keep accounts come out!"

A crowd shook their heads.

"I can write a few words!"

Three people walked out.

The dog said to him, "How many words?" ”

The first one said that he would only write his own name.

The dog said, "Go back!" ”

The second said that she would write about forty or fifty, and the dog nodded and asked him to stay, and the third was a girl, and she said that she had recognized most of the thousand-word texts, but she could only write about two hundred words.

The dog asked the name, she said that her name is Liu Hong, she is thirteen years old this year, her parents and family are dead, she followed her brother out to beg for food, her brother was frostbitten in winter, and he had no money to treat it, and he died after half a month.

The dog nodded, this group of beggars, including himself, were all "products" of the military disaster in the autumn!

It's good to know how to read, the dog ordered her to be the shopkeeper, the second person to do the running hall, the kitchen needs a stronger male baby, the dog chose this group of people, the tallest half-grown child, the small name is Big Stone.

There was still one running hall, and the dog asked this group of people to "hammer paper, scissors" who won and who was responsible, and there was a burst of shouting, and a boy with big teeth won the victory.

The rest of the people dispersed, and told them to go back to the small courtyard of Ba's house to eat cooking cakes, so he turned around and led the four people to get acquainted.

The tea soup shop has been to my father before, and the place is much more magnificent than my own broken shed, with a glimpse of celebrity calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and the men sitting at the table are all wearing big turbans, opening and closing their mouths.

It's much simpler here, tell Liu Hongzi that you can write it wrong, but you can't collect the money wrong, as long as you order tea, one person will charge two pennies, and then make a note in the book.

Tell the big stone in the back kitchen that when you burn the fire, you should pay attention not to ignite the shed, just burn a stove if there are fewer people, and burn more if there are more people!

The two people who run the hall should pay attention, and those who serve tea and water must be careful not to burn the guests in a panic, and do not trip themselves in a hurry, a word must be "slow"!

In the last sentence, this tea stall will be handed over to four people, and if there is anything to help each other, if they can't do it, he will call four more people to replace them.

The guys in the house should be optimistic about not being stolen, and if someone comes to make trouble, they will report the name of Zhao Zhutou.

Seeing that several people nodded their heads, the dog was afraid that they would make a mistake, so he regarded himself as a guest and asked a few people to demonstrate it.

A few babies were in a mess for a while, and the water was boiled after a good fire, and the person who collected the money told her that six people drank eight bowls of tea and didn't know how to calculate it, and the people who ran the hall made all kinds of mistakes, either pouring more water or less water, which was always inappropriate, but fortunately I remembered that I said that I wanted to be slow, and I never burned myself.

It took them more than ten times to practice in one breath before they had a basic appearance, but the two people who ran the hall still had the most problems, especially the link of putting the tea, which was always wrong, and in the end there was no way, the dog put out dozens of bowls, and he first pinched a small handful to make a comparison, and then let them take turns to put the tea in the bowl, and after the bowl was finished, he put away the tea and put it again, and the two people who were tired for an hour were sweating, so they gave up.

If you don't want to make mistakes, you can only keep practicing, and no matter how difficult things are, practicing it a thousand and eight hundred times is not a problem.

All morning, staring at the four of them non-stop practicing, if something went wrong, they would correct it on the spot, anyway, it hasn't opened yet, and the idle ones are also idle.

At noon, a few of the remaining Dasha dogs ran over and asked the four of them to make another demonstration, and the morning was not wasted, and the flow of water was good.

The dog praised a few words and was about to leave, when he saw the curtain of the door lifted from the outside, and a man wearing a leather hat walked in with a large bag on his back.

The six tables on the east side were in charge of Da Banya, and when he saw that a guest was sitting over, he hurriedly walked over and asked, "Guest officer, do you want to drink tea?" ”

The man took off his fur hat and carefully put it on the table, before he said to Da Banya: "Yes, come in and rest when you are tired, what price do you have here?" ”

Da Panya hurriedly replied: "Two pennies for one person, only a big bowl of loose tea, no matter the time, drink until it closes!" ”

The man asked, "Is there only loose tea?" ”

Da Banya nodded and said, "The stall has just opened, and there are only large bowls of loose tea at present." ”

The man said: "Okay, I'm tired of leaving, I just finished eating and just took a break, and I have to buy some things in the afternoon!" ”

Da Banya said that he turned back to the cabinet after a while, took a large porcelain bowl and pinched a small handful of tea leaves and threw it in, poured the hot water into the big iron kettle crookedly, the water stopped at seven minutes, and gently moved to the wooden tray, and the two hands picked up the tray and walked over, and when they came to the man, they shouted "Tea is coming, the guest officer beware" and put the tray on the table.

Placing the tea in front of the guests with a piece of linen cloth and then said, "Please drink slowly, if you need to add water, call the small one!" ”

After speaking, I saw that the man nodded, and Da Banya walked back with the tray.

The dog who watched this scene nodded again and again, and when he arrived, he praised him for a while, and the big plate tooth blushed before stopping.

Since this one, five or six waves of guests have come one after another, more than half of the east hall and west hall have been seated, and there are more than a dozen people counting the heads.

"Guest officer, we have just opened here, we really only have tea to drink and no snacks to eat, if you are hungry, the kid can help buy some outside!"

"What? Tea doesn't taste good? Sir! As long as the big bowl of tea with two copper plates can only taste like this, if you are not used to drinking it, you can go to the market to buy some tea, hot water you can use as you like! ”

"What time does it close, this aunt? The shop has just opened today, and it has not officially opened yet, so it will close early this afternoon, probably at the end of the application period! ”

There are more people, there are more things, and I am busy with a sentence of asking a sentence and a sentence of west, and it is also the first time that I am not very skilled in business, some have gone and some have come, and I have forgotten the time when I am busy, and when the thief with a rumbling stomach is loud, I suddenly remembered that I haven't eaten lunch yet.

Seeing that the customers at the table in the store were still safe, the dog said hello to them, walked through the street alone, and casually found a stall and asked for a bowl of hot noodle soup.

After snoring and eating a large bowl of sea, this body seemed to come back to life, and gasped heavily!
