Chapter 148: One Month Later
In just one month, the number of delicious franchisees has grown from one to twelve, distributed in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City. In order to prevent each other from stealing business, these twelve franchisees were strictly distinguished by Xia Shang, and the same store must not appear within three adjacent streets. Distribute it as evenly as possible in Chang'an City. The franchise fee has also risen from the initial five taels a month to the current eight taels a month, and at the same time, fifty taels of silver must be handed over before joining as the production fee of the cart.
Despite this, after seeing the booming business of the scholar cart on Suzaku Street, there are still many people who are willing to invest in a franchise.
It's a pity that these people are already late, and Xia Shang is not ready to continue to expand the cart.
The cart is just an emergency measure for Xia Shang when he has no money to develop a branch, and there can be too many carts, which will affect the business of the branch in the future. After a month of accumulation, Xia Shang's investment gradually returned, plus the franchise fees of twelve franchisees, and there were nearly three hundred taels of deposits in his pocket.
These three hundred taels are the net profit, excluding the cost of the cart and the expansion of the kitchen, which also includes the rent of one hundred taels for one year.
In order to expand the kitchen, Xia Shang had to find another house, and his current financial resources were not enough to buy a house, so he could only rent. I've thought about it for a long time and it's right next door, mainly because it's convenient. But the leader is the wicked woman, who formed a bond as early as Xia Shang moved in, and this time Xia Shang asked for help, and was slaughtered by the wicked woman.
Xia Shang is now a businessman, and he knows that more is better than less, and he doesn't have to worry about it, one hundred and one year is a little expensive, but for now, he can afford it.
Because the wicked woman is not authentic, Xia Shang did not tell her authentic, did not say that renting a house was used to renovate the kitchen, and I don't know when she will see the appearance of her house after being transformed, let alone what kind of mood she feels?
It took half a month to complete the big iron pot, large spatula, big stove, etc., and at the same time I found a few guys, one of whom was responsible for a task. Those who slaughter sheep specialize in slaughtering sheep, those who cut vegetables specialize in cutting vegetables, those who boil soup specialize in boiling soup, those who stir-fry vegetables specialize in stir-frying, and those who cook rice specialize in cooking rice.
The large kitchen is divided into many small rooms, and personal hygiene must be ensured when entering, and the working hours between the guys are staggered in an orderly manner, even if they stay in one kitchen, they can't see each other, let alone talk, and no one knows the whole process of making dishes.
This month is the most rapid development month of delicious food, and after a month, it looks like a dream before January.
Cuihua's house was built, the stove in the yard was gone, the backyard opened a small door to the neighbor's house, the dates on the jujube tree were gone, and there would be a lot of dead leaves in the yard every morning.
These are all changes in the eyes, and there are some subtle changes that are quietly happening, such as the relationship between Cuihua and the Fang family brothers is becoming more and more unclear, such as the vegetables in the space kitchen have begun to be suspected, the twenty or so breeding sheep have fifty-three sheep cubs, and the green snake is salivating over the stolen Ganoderma lucidum all day long. Of course, the Ganoderma lucidum has not grown yet, but it is only stored in the space kitchen for a while, and to feed the Ganoderma lucidum, the green snake said that it needs a very old rotten wood.
The development of delicious and delicious has begun to appear now, and Xia Shang needs to solve some potential problems in order to be stable.
For example, the relationship between Cuihua and the Fang brothers.
A few days ago, Xia Shang saw that the two brothers had a dispute because of Cuihua, although it was a small friction, but the possibility of intensifying the conflict could not be ruled out.
In addition, because some of the vegetables are mixed in from the space kitchen, some people realize that the vegetables that are delicious and the vegetables that they buy from the vegetable farmers every day are not enough. Although these people can't guess the existence of a space kitchen, they can't explain it after all. There are many more questions about the space kitchen, such as where does the pepper come from? I didn't see that there were chili peppers planted in the yard, but the peppers kept coming, how to explain it? It won't be long before lamb from the space kitchen is put on the table, which is another inexplicable thing.
Xia Shang thought about it for a long time, thinking about how to erase these problems. Finally, I had a plan, which was to find a small hillside outside Chang'an City, establish a farm of my own, and grow vegetables and raise pigs and sheep there.
Xia Shang once experimented that mixing the soil of the space kitchen with the outside soil can be fertile to the outside soil, and even has some ability to accelerate the growth of vegetables. Planting the outside soil like a space vegetable garden will quickly assimilate the soil.
Taking advantage of this, it will definitely take a little time to turn a barren mountain into a fertile golden grotto.
If there really is a farm, Cuihua can manage it on her behalf and separate her from the Fang family brothers, which is not a good thing.
……
The garden outside a small palace in the palace has been turned into a vegetable garden, and the unsightly potato seedlings are thriving, symbolizing vitality.
But Li Luo in the palace fainted again.
This is the third time since January that she has fainted.
The weak body is not as good as day by day, the emperor has found a lot of monks, and has used countless exorcism techniques to no avail, and the good girl is like a ball of ice that is melting bit by bit, and the tighter she hugs, the faster it melts.
This year, Li Shimin lost his queen, his son was seriously injured, and his daughter was about to disappear at this time.
All the imperial doctors have seen it, except for shaking their heads or shaking their heads, the only thing that dares to conclude is that "they will not live for five days", according to Li Shimin's mood, they may really order it to be cut directly.
There are so many things that have happened, and I don't have an impression of how the Mid-Autumn Festival was spent.
Li Shimin looked at Li Luo and felt ten years older.
"Luo'er, don't worry, no matter what, my father will definitely save you."
"Father, the son understands that there is not much time left."
Hearing a little girl say such a thing, Li Shimin felt that even if his heart was iron, he would be shattered, and when he opened his mouth for a while, he found that he couldn't make any sound.
Li Luo is very calm, she is not afraid, but she is not afraid of her body, she has been hiding a little worry since she was a child, knowing that her body is different from others. This kind of frightened life is very difficult, but now, when she knows that it is a foregone conclusion and she doesn't have to worry anymore, she finds that she doesn't seem to be so scared, but much more relaxed.
Now I just think about the things I want to do but haven't done, and put them all together to see which thing I want to do the most. And he used the rest of his days to get things done quickly.
There are many things I want to do, but there is only one thing I want to do the most.
"Father, my son has one last request."
"You say, my father will definitely agree."
"Erchen doesn't want to be a princess anymore, and now in the last days, he will be an ordinary person and live the most ordinary life."
“……”
"Father, can you promise your son? Erchen didn't want to die in the palace. ”
"Okay, I'm done!"
