Chapter XXXIII Preparations
Xiao Mo's heart is really big, and he left behind the possible and life-threatening things in a blink of an eye.
At this time, Xiao Mo was lying in a small wooden barrel and comfortably soaked in a hot bath. Xiao Mo's body in this life is indeed very poor, he sweated all over the morning, and he was frightened by Old Man Han, it is not okay not to take a hot bath, in case of a cold and fever or something, it is also quite a troublesome thing at this time.
Xiao Mowei closed his eyes, enjoying the feeling of floating brought by the buoyancy of hot water. In this era, there were no thermal insulation items such as hot water kettles, and hot water could not be stored for a long time. All this hot water is boiled by Xiaoya's hard work. Xiao Mo thought of this caring girl whose hair was a little yellow because of malnutrition, and he felt both warm and a little sour in his heart.
Xiao Mo closed his eyes and soaked in the cool, but he didn't notice that Uncle Han came in, this room was originally extremely simple, just such a single room. Xiao Moke didn't have his own room. Xiaoya now also knows that her young master doesn't like others to serve and bathe, so she doesn't come in at this time. Therefore, Xiao Mo was in a state of complete relaxation when he took a bath.
"I say you're a great boy to enjoy! What's the big deal about sweating a little in the summer? Is this a bubble? Look at your virtue, floating in the water like a thin toad. If you are so unvigilant, if I have bad intentions towards you, uncle, can you still live? “
The sudden sound in his ears startled Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo shouted; "Holy!" hurriedly covered his key parts. Turned back to Uncle Han and said angrily: "I said Uncle Han! Can we walk a little bit? You're so old, why do you still like to spy on other people's baths? If you want to peep, don't peep at me! Why is it a problem for me to enjoy life in my own home? Who can have ill intentions against me, poor boy? In my opinion, your Uncle Han wishes I couldn't live! “
Uncle Han smiled disdainfully: "Just you little cub, I can slap you with a slap on the old man." The hair has not grown, what is there to see? You kid's lazy temperament still needs to be sharpened. “
Xiao Mo really wanted to say to Old Man Han, this is my home, you are trespassing on a private house, I don't sue you, I am already very worthy of you. But it's useless to say it, I don't see that this old man is no different from being in his own home. There is also a little girl who looks like she can't wait for Uncle Han to teach the young master more. Xiao Mo felt that in addition to wasting some saliva, the most he could get was a slap.
Too lazy to pay attention to this irritable old man, Xiao Mo continued to soak in his bath, love to take a look, anyway, they are all the same men.
Uncle Han didn't speak, he randomly picked a few of the complicated spices that Xiao Mo bought in the medicinal herb store and threw them into the wooden barrel, then clapped his hands and left.
I don't know if this old man really knows these precious spices. Just threw it into the water with such a big hand.
However, Xiao Mo didn't mean to stop it, he snorted lightly, his face didn't care, he liked to throw it casually, young master, I was worried about running out of soap.
After taking a bath, it was close to noon, Xiao Mo was wearing a green shirt, his long hair was tied up casually with a belt, and he was walking around the yard, looking like a handsome man. It's not that Xiao Mo wants to look like this, it's really that the ragged linen clothes are washed, so I can't help but wear them, I seem to have only such clothes except for the linen clothes. As for this hair, it is so wet and long, it is really troublesome not to tie it up.
Xiaoya has already prepared lunch, which is according to Xiao Mo's eating habits, three meals a day. At this time, it was common to eat two meals a day, and Xiao Mo was hungry before. After having money, he directly changed his habit of opposing hunger.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and most of the remaining meat was cured with the ingredients brought from the Wang family, and a few chickens were kept in captivity.
Xiaoya's cooking skills are becoming more and more exquisite, and she is already able to skillfully use spices and spices. As for Xiao Mo himself, he is becoming more and more accustomed to being served, although Xiao Mo knows that this is a bad habit, but knowing and reality are really two different things.
In Xiaoya's opinion, her young master is a real literati and should be served. And even if Xiao Mo wants to do his own laundry and cooking, it is impossible, in this era, this is an act that is almost against the whole world. Of course, to say that Xiao Mo doesn't like to be served, it is also a lie, people's inertia has never been lost.
Uncle Han gulped down the delicious food in front of him, and although he was sweating from the spicy head, he still shouted.
"This dish made by Xiaoya is really delicious, I have eaten this, old man, and it will be difficult to eat anything else! Old man, I wondered, where did you come from such a fairy fate like this lazy boy? “
"Picked it up! God looks at me pitifully, let me pick it up for nothing. “
"I think it's too, it's really cheap you kid! I heard Xiaoya say that your kid is going to open a restaurant? I think it works! With Xiaoya's craftsmanship, opening a restaurant is definitely a good thing to make money, but how are you preparing to open a restaurant? “
"Young master, I have always felt that as long as the money is enough, eating and waiting for death is the best way to live, there is really no need to open a restaurant to find it uncomfortable, and it may not be of much use to buy more money. But since I met you old man, I have found that no amount of money is enough for your old man! Do you know how much money you're going to have to eat in this meal? “
"Looking for a beating, boy? I asked you how you prepared it, old man, but I didn't ask you how much you spent on the food. Anyway, what you kid has right away is money, what's stingy? “
"Nothing to prepare! Don't say a word, I haven't written it yet! Do you think it's easy to open a restaurant? Not to mention anything else, can a chef handle it? Not to mention the hassle of manpower and location, where can I find so many waiters? “
"Isn't it enough to have money for manpower and site selection! You kid has money anyway! Still afraid of this? “
"! I don't have a copper right now! The poor can't even afford to wear a pair of underwear! Where is the money? These ingredients are all from Wangjiakeng. “
"What are panties a thing? How come I don't know, old man? “
"Of course you don't know! You definitely don't need to know! I don't want to see an old man hanging around my house every day in his pants every summer! “
Although Xiao Mo said so, Xiao Mo still seriously considered the matter of opening a restaurant. Although flour is a lucrative industry, it is not a long-term industry. Although the Wang family is big, it is impossible to monopolize this profiteering industry forever, and no matter how confidential the trade secrets are, there will be times when they are leaked. So this flour only has a short-term profit period at most.
Xiao Mo has always wondered why he is becoming more and more famous in Luodu, but he has not been hit by the Xiao family, it stands to reason that the master mother of the Xiao family, who he has never seen, will never let himself live so freely. This is completely inconsistent with the psychology of a normal person, since they are all driven out, why not do absolutely nothing.
But no matter what the reason is, whether it really won't happen, or the Xiao family's blow is not far off. Xiao Mo can't do without a sense of precaution.
Running a restaurant in Xiao Mo's hotel model is definitely a very considerable and stable source of money. High-end places must often come to high-class social figures, and making friends with these characters will also have a good protective effect on Xiao Mo's safety, even if it is much more convenient to listen to news.
Sometimes it's not about living how you want to live. In Dasui, with Xiao Mo's identity and Xiao Mo's character, there will definitely be no shortage of troubles, not to mention the Xiao family, it is a headache for Xiao Mo to offend any little magnate. After all, this is a hierarchical society, and once that time comes, Xiao Mo's talent name is not of much use.
If Xiao Mo wants to protect himself and Xiaoya, he must have a certain social status and power. But in the early years of the Great Sui Dynasty, there was no imperial examination system, and the Jiupin Zhongzheng system was the system for selecting talents at this time, which was not fair at all, only the family was a powerful and large family to meet the requirements of the system, Xiao Mo's current identity was not as good as a farmer, and it was tantamount to a dream to get an official position.
Unless Xiao Mo can make military achievements on the battlefield, he can also slowly move towards the path of power. But with Xiao Mo's physical fitness, it is a question of whether he can protect himself on the battlefield. Besides, Xiao Mo didn't dare to kill a chicken, and he didn't mention anything to kill the enemy.
Therefore, there are only two ways in front of Xiao Mo, one of which is to continue to eat and wait for death, maybe one day he will really burp inexplicably and disappear into the world. The other is to try to give full play to the advantages of being ahead of your time and create a relatively safe environment.
In this way, opening a restaurant is indeed a very good start.
