Chapter 16: Hope

"Hot lamb steamed bun - bowl! After eating, I still want to eat a meat sandwich bun - a portion! Guest, please use it slowly! ”

A young and long voice sounded in the hall, and the guests who came in to eat found that the restaurant seemed to have changed a lot. The speed of serving the soup www.biquge.info is also much faster, and the sound of the subdued voice seems to be particularly appetizing.

The young man in charge, Lang Jun, was still like that, sitting at the door and smiling at the guests, but he didn't have to entertain the guests in person when he was as busy as before.

"Lang Jun! You can expand your restaurant a little bit and buy more people. That way, we won't have to wait in line so hard in the future, and you can earn more money. A guest who had been eating for several days said to Li Hao with a smile.

"The family doesn't have enough money, and there is no way to get it upstairs now, so I can only wait a little longer." After hearing this, Li Hao replied with a smile that he had thought about expanding the second floor, but it was not used to sell mutton steamed buns.

This profit is too small, and it is hard, and after a long time, others will definitely follow. It's too wasteful to use a two-story restaurant to do this, and it's not cost-effective.

"This ghost weather, it changes when it is said, and it is snowing! It's so comfortable to drink a bowl of delicious hot soup in this weather, and this mutton soup is delicious. "The business of the restaurant is getting better and better as the sky is getting brighter.

Li Hao heard the conversation of the guests who came in and realized that it was snowing outside! After hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, as if he had been poked at a certain point in his heart, and remembered something about himself.

Li Hao was born in the south, where there is only a little snow in winter all year round, which cannot be compared with the snow in the north. And the place he is in now is in the north, I didn't expect it to start snowing so early!

Winter is here, and it seems that the time to eat hot pot has also arrived! I used to come here once or twice when I was at home. Hot pot was not an uncommon thing in ancient times, according to archaeological discoveries, in fact, there was such a thing as hot pot in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Hot pot, known as "antique soup" in ancient times, is named after the sound of "coodong" made when food is put into boiling water, it is an original Chinese delicacy with a long history and a long history. In later generations, it was even more innovative, and enjoyed a global reputation.

Tang Dynasty Bai Juyi's poem "Ask Liu Nineteen": "Green ants make new wine, red clay small stove." If you want snow in the evening, can you drink a glass of nothing? It is said that it is a matter of asking old friends to drink and eat hot pot together.

Lao Bai told his friends very elegantly and subtly that there was wine at home, and the stove for hot pot was ready. Seeing that it is going to snow in the evening, can you come over for a drink?

Maybe you can change it to a more forced statement, that is, friends, I have wine here, do you have a story? Eating hot pot and drinking wine together, and listening to stories, it's a great thing in life.

This is the author's nonsense, as for whether this is what he meant, this has to be asked. However, when I was a child, I saw that those ancient poems were translated and said to be drinking together on the fire, which was fake at first glance, and there was no atmosphere at all.

It's just that the hot pot at this time, both the ingredients and the bottom materials are a lot worse. Naturally, it is not as delicious as that of later generations, and its impact is not as great as that of later generations. Li Hao only needs to improve this thing, and this will be another income.

Isn't this snowy weather the best time to drink and eat hot pot? With hot pot, it seems that sake brewing has to be put on the agenda. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the system of private brewing was not strictly controlled, which was different from the prohibition of private brewing in the Great Song Dynasty.

That's why those poets in the Tang Dynasty are so hilarious, either raising a glass alone to invite the bright moon, or a glow-in-the-dark glass of grape wine, or a warm green ant new brew with friends, you can drink a glass of nothing, and persuade you to have a glass of wine.

Li Hao wants to make wine, but unfortunately he can't! He was only interested in food, and his study of wine was not so deep. And if you want to make wine, it will definitely not work here in Xishi, you have to choose another place, and Li Hao's strength is not enough!

That thing needs money, food, and rights. As for the popularity of liquor in later generations in ancient times, this cannot be verified. So many time-traveling novels say that it is good, and it is good to think that liquor was very good in ancient times.

While thinking about this, while collecting the money, a morning passed quickly. Lunch was made by Aunt Zhong and stir-fried vegetables. Although Aunt Zhong's craftsmanship is not very good, the fried food is still delicious for others.

Except for Li Hao, his mouth is more picky. Aunt Zhong's craftsmanship can only be regarded as worthy of the mouth, and compared with her own craftsmanship and deliciousness, it is still a distance away.

After the meal, Li Hao took stock of the store's income, and he got himself a simple device for stringing copper coins. How many copper coins can be strung each time, and after the string is finished, tie it with a string and throw it in the frame, and count the number of strings directly when counting.

This is much more convenient than counting copper coins one by one from the basket, but no matter how convenient it is, he has to count, and he really misses the days when he used paper money and used the computer cash register system. It's a pity that in this era, there is not one!

Today's income is about the same as yesterday, with no increase or decrease. In fact, it should be the addition of some new guests. Some of the regular customers didn't come out because of the snow, and there were a lot fewer customers on the street than before.

After counting the day's income, Li Hao began to arrange the affairs of several other people. Da Lang took the two teenagers to go shopping, and by the way, he instructed the two teenagers. The two girls stayed behind to help Aunt Zhong and clean up the store.

Li Hao and Uncle Zhong took a man and a woman back to Chang'an City, and Erlang was alone there, and they were not at ease after a long time. As for the beating, Uncle Zhong said that that kind of scene is nothing, just a play between children.

Because of the snow, there are a lot fewer pedestrians on the road. The four of them felt a little cold sitting on the carriage, and shrank back and headed towards Chang'an City.

"Lang Jun, are you back?" Before entering the mansion, Erlang rushed over and looked at the two of them with an anxious face, as if something had happened in the mansion.

This guy has been standing at the door in thick clothes and watching, and when he saw a carriage coming towards him, he immediately guessed that this should be his own Langjun and his father coming together.

"Did something happen?" Li Hao looked at Erlang's appearance and asked curiously, although Erlang's personality is a little more lively, he is still an honest child. The slightest thing is estimated to make him panic.

In the morning, several women from the Wu family came over to thank Lang Jun for helping them and brought a little gift. And then...... Then ......" The latter words Jiro seemed to feel embarrassed, and kept stammering and didn't know what to say.

"Let's talk about it first." Uncle Zhong on the side saw Erlang like this, and he almost beat his own child. was grabbed by Li Hao, and then took the two teenagers in together.

The coachman has to wait here for a while, and then Uncle Li Hao and Uncle Zhong will go back there. It hadn't completely stabilized over there, and the two of them couldn't leave.

"What the hell is going on?" Uncle Zhong also seemed to know that something was wrong at this time, and only asked his son after entering the room.

"Lang Jun's family came just now!"
