Sister-in-law Zhao reluctantly agreed when she saw that she couldn't move, and Lin Mo smiled with satisfaction.

briefly talked to the two about the opening, and then said that they would come tomorrow morning and ask the two of them to buy shoes, utensils and ingredients together, and then go to the shop together, and then left.

After leaving, Lin Mo walked straight to the wine shop closest to Zhao En's house, "Did the shopkeeper just now have a woman holding a hairpin to exchange for wine?" ”。

The shopkeeper of the wine shop glanced at Lin Mo and said, "There is a woman who exchanged a wooden hairpin for a pot of wine. ”

"I'll redeem the hairpin, and there's a penny of silver, is it enough for the pot of wine?"

As he spoke, he took out a penny of silver and put it on the counter, "Enough, enough, this is a hairpin, you can put it away." The shopkeeper accepted the money with a smile and then took the hairpin to Lin Mo, who left after putting away the hairpin.

Lin Mo went home and told his grandfather about the idea of reopening the restaurant, and his grandfather just said well, I know, as long as you are happy.

From it, Lin Mo heard that his grandfather loved and trusted him, after all, that money was originally used by himself to marry his daughter-in-law, and now he took it out to open a restaurant that might not necessarily succeed. Lin Mo thought to himself that he must succeed and not let his grandfather worry.

The next morning, Lin Mo went to Zhao En's house to call the family of three, and then went to the craftsman to buy some steamers for steaming buns, and bought some rice noodles and seasonings.

Then I went to Liu Butcher's to buy some pork, I didn't plan to go to Liu Butcher's house, but when I thought that Liu Butcher was still saving money for Xin'er, going to his house to buy meat could be regarded as supporting his business.

Liu Butcher and his wife were very busy in the stall, and they were very surprised to see Lin Mo and his party, Lin Mo said that he came to buy five catties of pork, and Xin'er Niang directly cut five catties of fine pork to Lin Mo and confiscated Lin Mo's money, Lin Mo put down the money and said, come to buy meat every day in the future, and if you don't collect money today, you won't want to buy meat in the future.

Butcher Liu was surprised, why did Lin Mo become strange and still come to buy meat every day? Seeing Lin Mo's resolute attitude, Liu Butcher could only accept the money.

After a few people bought a bunch of condiments and utensils, Lin Mo and his party came to the shop, although Lin Mo had already cleaned it, but the outside still looked a little dilapidated, Lin Mo had no choice but to wait for the money earned in the future to repair it again, after all, the money was on the blade.

Zhao En looked at the past of the restaurant, and couldn't help but sigh: "I can't imagine that I will see the restaurant open again in this life." ”

Lin Mo led the three of them into the house, Lin Mo led them to the kitchen first, and said to Sister-in-law Zhao: "Brother Zhao, sister-in-law, I will teach you to make two new noodles now." ”

After speaking, Lin Mo opened a small package, which contained a small piece of alkali and a package of alum stone, which is generally used for medicine, so Lin Mo really bought it from Chen Cripple's pharmacy.

Alum stone is the raw material of alum commonly used in later generations, and is used as a food additive to make pastries softer and puffed.

Next, Lin Mo appropriately formulated an additive commonly used in later generations according to the ratio of "one alum, two alkalis and three salts".

Then mix the dough, add the prepared additives to it, put in two eggs, continue to mix the dough, add some flour appropriately, continue to beat the dough, and then the dough is smooth, and then let the dough stand for more than an hour.

During this period, several people rearranged the seats and benches upstairs and downstairs and cleaned the floor again. When the work was almost done, the noodles were also awake.

Lin Mo then cut the dough into strips, then poured vegetable oil into the pan, and when the oil boiled, he put the long strips of dough into the oil and fried them.

If others in the previous life knew that it was making fried fritters, but there is no such pasta in this era. Looking at the fragrant fritters, Zhao En swallowed his saliva, and Lin Mo beckoned the three of them to taste it quickly.

The three of them each took a fritter and began to eat it, Zhao Heng asked while eating, "Uncle Lin, what is this, so delicious?"

Lin Mo heard Zhao Heng call his uncle very strange, but he was helpless, after all, he was inferior in seniority, and said

"This is called fried dough sticks, it is my whim, Brother Zhao and sister-in-law Zhao, when making this thing, you must pay attention to the dough technique I just taught and the mixing ratio of condiments."

The two nodded hurriedly after hearing this, Sister-in-law Zhao was a little moved, although this is just a pasta, but Lin Mo is willing to give himself the unique recipe, which shows that he really trusts the husband and wife.

The next thing is to make steamed buns, this Zhao En is very skilled, so he doesn't need Lin Mo to teach him by hand, and after a while, a basket of hot pork-stuffed buns will come out.

Lin Mo tasted one and found it very delicious, better than the original restaurants in the town, and when he asked, he learned a new method from the master in the restaurant when he was in Yangzhou.

In this way, today's main purpose has been achieved, Lin Mo looked at the few people who were a little busy but still in good spirits, and some looked forward to the scene after the opening.

Suddenly, Lin Mo remembered something, took out a wooden hairpin from his pocket and handed it to Sister-in-law Zhao, which was the one that was inserted in Sister-in-law Zhao's head yesterday.

Sister-in-law Zhao was a little surprised, and her eyes were a little moist. Lin Mo hurriedly said: "In the future, everyone is a family, this hairpin is what I saw on the roadside stall, I bought it when it looks more suitable for Sister-in-law Zhao, I forgot to bring a gift when I went to dinner yesterday, this is a meeting gift for Sister-in-law Zhao, sister-in-law Zhao, don't dislike it." ”

"How can you dislike it, Xiao Mo, you have a heart, sister-in-law thank you."

After Sister-in-law Zhao finished speaking, she gave Lin Mo a blessing, and Zhao En also bowed her hand to Lin Mo to express her gratitude.

Seeing that the two of them were so grateful to themselves, Lin Mo was a little embarrassed.

The rest was handed over to the two, and Zhao Heng had some Lin Mo gave him a set of "Five Classics Definitive Version", which was also the basic content of the imperial examination, Lin Mo asked Zhao Heng to study hard and study for fame in the future.

To be honest, Lin Mo himself can only understand a rough idea, after all, the characters he uses now are traditional Chinese characters or words from more than a thousand years ago, and he is semi-literate here.

However, what surprised Lin Mo was that Sister-in-law Zhao was literate, and Zhao Heng had always been Sister-in-law Zhao's teaching.

In this era, there are not many literate people, and they are basically students who are either rich or expensive, or who want to gain fame. So Sister-in-law Zhao now has another job, which is to be a bookkeeper and keep accounts.

Originally, Lin Mo didn't plan to be really troublesome, after all, there was no big expenditure except for buying ingredients and wages, but Sister-in-law Zhao insisted on keeping accounts, but Lin Mo didn't plan to keep accounts by himself, after all, he was still half illiterate and couldn't read a few big characters.

So I will hand it over to Zhao's sister-in-law to remember, and when Zhao Heng is older in the future, let Zhao Heng be the bookkeeper.

Lin Mo took Zhao En to cut some grass outside the town, and went to buy some chaff, Zhao En was very surprised, Lin Mo didn't raise livestock and wanted these things for nothing.

Lin Mo explained: "Don't forget that the coachmen at the entrance of the town need this, and you can provide them with some free forage. With these things, those people can be attracted to come, and when they come, other mechanics will naturally come. It doesn't take long, but it's a big attraction for the drivers. ”

Zhao En nodded when he heard this, he understood what Lin Mo meant, that is, he used these things to tie those coachmen here, and the mechanics who rode the car would naturally follow.

Before I knew it, it was already afternoon, Lin Mo asked a few people to rest and rest, and then open at about 7 o'clock in the evening, close at 9 o'clock in the evening, and open at 4 o'clock the next day, close at 6 o'clock, and work for four hours a day, that is, 8 hours.

Zhao En and his wife were very surprised, how could there be a restaurant open during this time period, it was one or two watches, and the people in the town had basically fallen asleep, how could there be anyone. But Lin Mo said that there was no need to worry about people, there was no way, and the two of them could only wait until the unit opened according to Lin Mo's request.

After Lin Mo finished explaining, he left, and now the restaurant is still short of a loud sign, Lin Mo thought about it for a long time and decided to change the restaurant to "Food for the Sky".

So Lin Mo asked Sister-in-law Zhao to help write a pair of characters, went to the town to find a carpenter who specialized in making plaques, and typed a pair of plaques. By 7 o'clock, Lin Mo had already hung the plaque upstairs. Later, a sign was erected at the door of the restaurant, with the words "Forage is free, while supplies last".

After opening in the evening, Lin Mo saw the sad faces of Zhao En and his wife, so he comforted them to relax, but the two looked at the sky outside the door that was completely dark, and then looked at the scattered pedestrians on the road were still very puzzled.

But after a while, some ox carts appeared on the road one after another, and the people on the carts also came down one after another. Lin Mo hurriedly beckoned everyone to come and eat hot food to warm up, and took out some fried dough sticks that had been prepared and cut into small pieces for everyone to taste for free, and then publicized the free forage, and sure enough, a group of coachmen came first. Immediately afterwards, the mechanics gradually gathered over, and the car went to get the forage, and the mechanics took the fritters on Lin Mo's plate and ate them.

After everyone ate it, they thought it was delicious, and the price was relatively fair, one penny, Lin Mo calculated, the cost of a fritter was about half a penny, and a penny had half a profit, which was already very high. In addition to fried dough sticks and steamed buns, there are also steamed buns and porridge to satisfy everyone's taste. Gradually, there were more and more people, and Lin Mo and the others hurriedly got busy.

And when it was evening, the crowd was dispersed. After Lin Mo and the others cleaned up, they calculated that they probably earned two taels of silver today, and after removing the cost, there was probably one or two left.

Lin Mo was quite satisfied with the income on the first day, let Zhao En's family eat and go back, and then gave Zhao En a key, so as not to open the door if he didn't come. Lin Mo asked a few people to go home to rest, and come back tomorrow morning, Zhao En and his wife were very strange but didn't say anything.

Lin Mo also packed up and went home, Lin Mo was carrying lanterns all the way, the cold wind was blowing, Lin Mo was a little scared, although he didn't do anything wrong, but walking on the road on the side was full of graves, of course he was scared in his heart.

When Lin Mo walked home quickly, he found that the candles in the house were still on, and his grandfather had not slept yet, and had been waiting for him.

After Lin Mo entered the door, grandpa asked if he had eaten, it turned out that grandpa had been waiting for him to eat, Lin Mo replied that he had eaten, and then took out a fritter wrapped in oiled paper from his waist and handed it to grandpa and said it was a new pastry.

Grandpa looked at this strange thing curiously, smelled the fragrance and tasted it, and found that it was really delicious.

So he quickly solved the fritters, and Lin Mo watched his grandfather finish the fritters.

Then he smiled and said, "Grandpa, we will live on this in the future." "Then I talked about today's opening.

Grandpa was very surprised when he heard this, looked at Lin Mo and said, "Xiaomo, you are a promising child, you can do whatever you want in the future, and grandpa will support you." ”

Lin Mo then took out 5 taels of silver from his arms and gave it to his grandfather, and he would give his grandfather money every month in the future, but his grandfather didn't want it, saying that he could still work and make money now, and it would not be too late for his grandfather to give it when he was old and couldn't move.

Lin Mo had no choice but to take it back, since grandpa was unwilling to ask for money, he would buy more things to honor his grandfather in the future.
