Chapter 30 Opening a Store (1)
Early the next morning, the three people came to the restaurant with a cart, Yang Zhao had been waiting early, he got the new house key from the tavern yesterday, and moved in that night, and now seeing the arrival of the three people, Yang Zhao couldn't help but be overjoyed, stretched out his warm hand and held Li Qing's hand tightly and smiled: "From now on, our brothers will share weal and woe, and if you have a bite to eat, you are indispensable." He pondered all night, although this Li Qing is righteous and makes friends with his heart, he is still too immature and does not understand the sinister world, but he can make good use of it.
"Be his buddy, joke! Can ten yuan send me Yang Zhao? ”
Li Qing also sneered in his heart: "It's really not easy to deal with, I only want to turn against the guest on the first day."
However, if Yang Zhao is really a little daughter-in-law with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, then he is not Yang Guozhong, because he was prepared, he also smiled: "How is it?" Are you satisfied with your accommodation? I wanted you to see the store, but the restaurant didn't let people live, as long as you found another place to live, come! Help us move things down first, and I'll arrange your work later! ”
Xiaoyu saw that Yang Zhao's smile was a little hypocritical, so she whispered to the curtain: "I really don't know what the son thinks, the three of us are doing a good job, why are we recruiting someone again, we are not good people at first glance." ”
"Don't talk nonsense! Childe has the idea of a child, "I said so, but the curtain was really a little dissatisfied in my heart, when Li Qing told her the night before that she wanted this Yang Zhao to join the gang, she was a little unhappy in her heart, although he saved Childe, but as long as he gave some money to thank him, why let him join in, he was kind when he saw this person that day, but see you again today, he has completely changed a person, Xiaoyu is right, there is some hypocrisy, and the tone of his voice is not the respect of the guy for the shopkeeper, but there is a little more condescending attitude.
Taking advantage of Yang Zhao's opportunity to move things into the store, the curtain came to Li Qing's side and asked quietly, "What is Gongzi going to let him do?" ”
"Wash the dishes!" Li Qing picked up a box of popsicles, struggled to hold back three words, roared, carried the popsicle on his shoulder, winked at the curtain, and strode into the store.
"Brother Li, what is this?" Yang Zhao accidentally removed the lid of the porcelain jar and was staring at the slush inside.
"That's my leading Oiran, slush, I'll give my eldest brother a bowl later." Li Qing put down the popsicle, took out a pair of buckets, handed them to Yang Zhao and said, "Go and fetch two buckets of water first, and then ask the store to borrow a jar, and then wash those porcelain bowls later, your job today is to carry water and wash dishes." ”
"Wash the dishes with water!" Yang Zhao opened his mouth wide in shock, his jaw almost fell, and let him do the work of miscellaneous labor, how could this be, "Brother Li, you, you are not mistaken!" ”
"What? Does Brother Yang already have another high level? Li Qing's face was cold, and he looked at him with a smile.
"Not really!"
"Then what else is there to say, take it! Do as I tell you, otherwise" Li Qing sneered and said, "Then I have to ask you to leave!" ”
Yang Zhao looked at Li Qing blankly for a long time, he didn't expect that Li Qing would be able to say such a ruthless word, "That's it!" People are under the eaves, put up with him first, and then talk about it when they find an opportunity later. Yang Zhao was secretly ruthless.
A smile immediately appeared on his face: "Look at what my brother said, this kind of physical work naturally can't let the two of them go, I'll go!" I'll go! He smiled and took the bucket and the pole and went to the backyard to look for a well.
gave Yang Zhao a dismount, the shop was officially opened, Li Qing began to get busy, first put the temporary signboard, the wooden frame of the 'Xiao Li Ji Ice Drink Shop' on the road, so that pedestrians can see it, and then hung the price list high at the door, and the top of the price list is their trump card ice products: slush, 12 wen per bowl, down is a variety of popsicles 2 wen, and finally ice water, a bowl of one penny.
Because the oven for making cones has not yet been done, Li Qing bought hundreds of small porcelain bowls at the price of a penny, of course, the wool is out of the sheep, and the cost will naturally be spread into the price of slush. Xiao Li Ji's three words, but he himself wore a blue cardigan, the breasted is a foot long, to show the identity of the shopkeeper, even Yang Zhao, who was sitting in the middle of the dishwashing, also wore a green tight-fitting Hu suit, a white vest, a green high hat, and the back and hat also have the words 'Xiao Li Ji', fortunately, there was no green hat at that time, so Yang Zhao put on this free green hat, but he was also comfortable and not ashamed.
'Crack! Crack! The red paper flowers bloomed wildly, flying in the air, spread to the ground, the blue and white gunpowder smoke shrouded the entire store door like a cloud, the sound of firecrackers was deafening, the curtain and Xiaoyu covered their ears and laughed on the counter, Li Qing sat in front of the money jar, and Yang Zhao jumped onto the street and shouted loudly, in the festive and lively, 'Xiao Li Ji Ice Drink Shop' officially opened.
Li Qing has been setting up a stall for two days, the ice drinks he sells are good and cheap, but there are some repeat customers, so it has not been sold yet, a few old customers who came to buy popsicles have looked around, only to find that they have opened a store, so they gathered at the door early, it is regarded as a cheer, the lively opening ceremony attracted a large number of onlookers, seeing the red and yellow clear popsicles were taken out, the heart was itchy and difficult to press, and also took out two pennies to buy a mouth in the mouth, so that the ice cool and cool through the bottom of the heart, it is really a high investment and high returns, this market is really good, the queue of people is enough to extend to more than ten zhang away, Less than an hour after it opened, the money jar in front of Li Qing had already been replaced.
"Childe, it seems that no one has come to buy slush!" The curtain wiped the sweat with the cuffs on the back of her hands, and she just took and handed the popsicle mechanically, and her hands and waist were a little sore.
"Maybe the price is too high, and no one wants to try it." Li Qing took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead for the curtain, the two looked at each other and smiled, but he didn't see it, and when Xiaoyu on the side lowered his head, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.
"Brother, why don't I go to the street and shout twice?" Yang Zhao's saliva face poked out from the inside, and it was full of ice, and the cool air was pleasant, and he didn't want to come out.
Li Qing knew his thoughts, and said angrily: "This water tank is about to bottom, you go and carry the water!" ”
"Childe, or just follow the method of selling popsicles for the first time." The curtain refers to giving away people to taste it for free, Li Qing understood what she meant, thought about it, and said with a smile: "It's okay, but it can't be given away for nothing." ”
..........
"What does Shopkeeper Li mean to send a hundred bowls of slush to my guests?" The shopkeeper of the drunken restaurant looked surprised, and some didn't believe his ears.
"Of course, it's a free gift, although we signed a contract, but after all, it has also caused a lot of trouble to your store, which is all a little bit of my heart, and when I first met, there were some misunderstandings with the shopkeeper, so this is also my apology." Li Qing's eyes are modest and his attitude is extremely sincere, but he has a wishful thinking in his heart, as long as he opens this opening, this dessert after dinner will become a routine sooner or later, so won't the drunken village building become his big customer?
"Huh! Shopkeeper Li is polite, I will accept your wishes. Li Qing's humble attitude made the shopkeeper have a good impression of him, and his face softened slightly: "I don't know what other difficulties in the shopkeeper Li need help from the shopkeeper?" ”
"There is no difficulty, your store has given a lot of convenience, but I want to make a long flag on the eaves of the counter, which can also be used to shade the sun, I wonder if the shopkeeper can agree?" Li Qing used his hand to compare the width of the one and added: "The widest is not more than one foot." ”
The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, and if he didn't agree, he would seem stingy, and finally reluctantly said: "That's good, it can't be more than a foot wide at most." ”
Li Qing was overjoyed, he had long wanted to design his store according to the style of the 'leisure station' in later generations, this banner was the finishing touch, the shopkeeper could promise to really make him overjoyed, he immediately got up and said: "In this way, I will send the slush immediately, but the ice is not easy to store, and it must be distributed to the guests as soon as possible." ”
The effect of free tasting is really fast, Li Qing sent the slush less than half an hour, and a huge rich man in Langzhong threw down five taels of silver, bought a jar of slush, the white silver made Li Qing dizzy, stood for a long time, quickly found a small wooden box, filled half a box of ice, carefully placed the slush jar in the middle, and covered it tightly with burlap, sealed the lid, and then put it into his carriage, respectfully watched the generous God of Wealth go away.
