Chapter 4: Chance Encounter in a Restaurant

After reading the book, the address of [Wanbenshen Station]: Avoid the pain of chasing books!

The two walked up the wooden stairs and went up to the second floor, and Li Dongsheng found that the quality of the stairs was good, and there was no creaking sound. There were fewer people on the second floor, only one table of guests, where the three people were sitting drinking wine and talking, Li Dongsheng glanced at it and found that it was three middle-aged people, and he didn't care. After walking for a long time, the two of them were also a little tired, so they found a table by the window and sat down. Da Niu knew that the young master was not too familiar with the family in the past few days, so he whispered to tell the young master that the shopkeeper was called Wu Peng, and the second child was called Wu Dong, who was the nephew of the shopkeeper, and had been following the master for a long time.

The little second man named Wu Dong saw that it was better, and when he saw that the young master had done it, he immediately poured a glass of water for the young master, and asked the young master what he wanted to eat. Li Dongsheng didn't know what to eat in his restaurant, so he asked the shopkeeper Wu Peng: "What are the specialties in the building?" Wu Peng said: "What is a special dish?" Li Dongsheng was dizzy at the time, thinking that he didn't even know what a special dish was and opened a restaurant. After thinking about it again, there should not be the word specialty at this time, so I said: "It means specialty dishes." Wu Dong immediately interjected and said: "Young master, our family's specialty dishes are mutton soup, boiled mutton, lamb chops, vegetarian dishes such as weed, purslane, etc. Li Dongsheng wanted to eat this at home, but he couldn't change his taste when he came out, so he still ate this mutton. How nostalgic I used to eat what I wanted to eat, what the eight major cuisines, what Western food, thinking about it and feeling sad again, said, "Let's have a mutton soup and a few soup cakes." In the past few days, he also learned that soup cakes are the staple food of the Tang Dynasty, which is equivalent to the current steamed buns, buns, and noodles. Da Niu and Wu Peng were originally standing next to them. Li Dongsheng also asked them to sit down, drank a sip of water, and asked the shopkeeper how the restaurant business was, how much turnover a day could be, how much rent, how much labor, how much vegetable money, how much profit, etc., Wu Peng asked sweating profusely, and he didn't know what the young master's new words meant, and under Li Dongsheng's question and explanation, Li Dongsheng also knew that this restaurant was his own house, and it was also mortgaged by people who owed money to his family, There are only 3 chefs, shopkeepers, and juniors in the store, and they haven't changed, but they still use the original. It's not good to run now, and it's barely a loss.

The two of them said so. Da Niu only listened and didn't speak, looking at the young master with admiration, feeling that the young master felt like a different person after dropping his head, and he was no longer as naughty as before, like a leather monkey, and now he became stable and low-key, but he seemed to understand everything, that is, sometimes he was depressed when he was alone, and he looked like he had something on his mind. As he was talking, Wu Dong brought the dishes up, Li Dongsheng asked the shopkeeper to eat with Da Niu, Wu Peng excused himself, Da Niu unceremoniously picked up the soup cake and ate it with mutton soup. The two of them were also hungry when they went shopping, and after burying their heads in eating, they just wanted to ask the waiter to get a napkin, but when they found that Xiao Er was not there, they shook their heads, took a handkerchief out of their cuffs, put their mouths on it, and stuffed it back in. Thinking of putting this thing on the cuffs, Li Dongsheng wanted to complain again, why put it on the cuffs, it was not easy to put it, and it was not convenient to take it. He came to this era, anyway, there are all kinds of unaccustomed, but if you let any modern person go to ancient times, the biggest difficulty is the various unaccustomed to life.

After the two of them were full, they were just about to stand up and leave, when they heard a voice "This little friend, polite." Li Dongsheng turned his head and saw a middle-aged man walking towards him, making a salute as he walked, Li Dongsheng didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied with a salute and asked, "What advice does this elder have?" The middle-aged man said: "Under the surname Wang, from Taiyuan, I accidentally listened to the little brother talking with the shopkeeper just now, I felt a little curious, and I wanted to ask for advice." Li Dongsheng heard this, looked at the person opposite seriously, and saw that he was wearing a blue robe, with a square scarf on his head, feeling very simple, his eyes were not big, but he was very energetic, his chin was bearded, and he was very neatly combed, and his eyes swept down again, and he found that there was a piece of mutton fat jade on the belt, which was white and delicate, and it was estimated to be worth a lot. hurriedly said: "Mr. Wang has something to say, but the kid has nothing to say." The middle-aged man invited Li Dongsheng to their table, and introduced two other people, one surnamed Cui and the other surnamed Lu, who came from Taiyuan and was about to return to Chang'an.

Li Dongsheng is also indispensable, he introduced himself first, "Under Li Dongsheng, a local." He asked the shopkeeper about some of the simplest common sense of doing business in the 21st century, so he explained to these three people what is cost, what is profit, what is net profit, what is ping efficiency, and how to improve and the essence of doing business is to make profits. The three middle-aged people suddenly realized, and in the end, all three of them got up and saluted Li Dongsheng, and praised: "We have also been doing business for many years, and only today do we have an understanding of the essence of business, thank you Little Brother Li for your teaching." ”

Li Dongsheng hurriedly got up and returned the salute. said: "I'm just a person who has nothing to do, and I don't dare to laugh and be generous." Then he said goodbye to the three of them and went downstairs with Da Niu to go home. After such a delay, it was already close to dusk, and the sunset was shining in the small town, and the shadows of the two people were dragged for a long time on the road.

Back home, Uncle Qi had made more than 10 toothbrushes after a busy day today, Li Dongsheng looked at it, and was also very satisfied, so he took a few back to the inner courtyard and ran to his mother. As soon as he saw him coming, he hurriedly put down the embroidery in his hand, stood up and said, "Xiaobao, where have you been today, don't you ask for leave to say that you are not in good health, don't run around if you are not in good health." Li Dongsheng said: "Mother, don't worry, my body is already well, and today I will go out for a walk." You see, I made something to brush my teeth and gave it to my mother. Li Lin was moved to tears, his son raised so big, he had never reached out to ask for money, and today he actually made something for herself, she choked up and said: "Xiaobao, you can use it yourself, my mother has everything here, you have this heart, and my mother is very happy." Li Dongsheng also felt Li Lin's deep maternal love for him, that kind of selfless care, and hurriedly said: "The child knows, this is to brush his teeth in the morning and evening, which is especially easy to use." Mother try it first. Li Lin had no choice but to be entangled by Li Dongsheng, so he asked the maid to draw water, also sticky toothpaste, and then put it in his mouth to brush, and after rinsing his mouth, Li Dongsheng instructed his mother to spit out the toothpaste. Li Lin felt a refreshing breath after using it, and couldn't help but praise: "My son is really smart." ”
