Qin Long's fingers slid over the tabletop and put it in front of Chen Ping's eyes, but there was indeed no gray stain at all. However, it is really leisurely to wipe down the tables and chairs in an hour.

Although there is a skill in stir-frying, the taste is more appetizing than that of stewing, but after all, this shop is a little simpler, and there are not many diners.

"I don't see that there are many people in the store, there should be a village nearby, close to the post road, and the diners are so sparse on weekdays?" The candlelight the size of a peanut grain of rice was swinging, and one or two moths fluttering their wings around the candle flame, Chen Ping felt that he could eat in this shop and live for a short time, but he felt unbearable to settle here.

Moths, mosquitoes, the noise in the grass, the dull gray air, natural things, but if human beings can really enjoy nature, slash-and-burn farming will not become a forest of buildings, and the pace of civilization should also stagnate.

If you are used to eating greasy, occasionally have some green vegetables to neutralize it, which will meet people's appetite. But if you eat a vegetarian diet for a long time, you will eventually be malnourished.

The reason why so many people in later generations clamored for returning to nature was just that they ate too much greasy and looked for spices, and if they were really let into the deep mountains and old forests, most of them would run away crying and mourning with a big bag full of bodies.

Chen Ping is not a picky person, but this cannot be said to be unparticular, between the two extremes, after all, there is a middle choice.

In addition, Chen Ping is a person who puts himself in his shoes, and he has this feeling, thinking about how Qin Long, the shopkeeper standing on the side, in this shabby shop, endures mosquito bites and moths flutter in this shabby shop?

Judging from its ability to steal teachers in the customer inn, there are motivated and unwilling, the shop is simple, but the tables and chairs are wiped clean, facing the post road, and the roof is thatched, which is very rare, and it is diligent.

Motivated, indicating ambition.

Diligent and energetic.

Chen Ping had already eaten, but he just took a piece of braised pork, although he was not as good as Jiang Yuan, the chef in charge of the customer stack, he was a head better than a few assistant chefs.

I have the ability to do it myself.

What is lacking is only the east wind.

"Childe, you don't know anything." Qin solemnly sighed, his heart was full of helplessness, "I was looking at this shop near the post road, and there was a Qinlan post nearby, so I sold my family's land, and I borrowed more than one or two silver from relatives in the township, bought this house, bought some tables and chairs, took care of it up and down, and changed it into a store." ”

"There are many people in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are hundreds of people coming and going every day, but most of them are from nearby villages. Son, you are in a rich family, I am afraid that you don't know the difficulties of poor people such as me, even if you are hungry, you are reluctant to go into the store and spend two pennies to buy a steamed cake. When I went to work in the fields, I mostly ate early in the morning, or waited for the sun to be in the middle of the day, and the mother-in-law at home got it and took it to the field. ”

Chen Ping understood what Qin Long said, before the cold illness of this body, and even in the next few months, the situation and life at home were the same as Qin Long said. Even in later generations, the people living at the bottom of the society worked hard and worked for more than 30 degrees, but they were reluctant to buy even a bottle of mineral water for one dollar, and there were many people who fainted from heat stroke.

Chen Ping's expression of concern fell in Qin Long's eyes, Qin Long actually felt that he had found recognition, and he was indignant and helpless, just like the melting of ice and snow, Ju was a little warmer.

Even in the face of his own son, Qin Long didn't have so many words. But for Chen Ping, who had only been in the store for less than an hour, Qin Long only felt cordial.

"Most of the diners in the store are merchants who pass through the post road, and they have some assets at home. Although there is food and accommodation in Qinlan, it is smaller after all, and the food is not as good as the store in my house. Even the people in the court, who are not used to eating the food of the post, mostly come to my small shop. "Finding out the way of Qinlan's post, Qin Long opened such a shop in general, "In the past, it was quite good, and there was some money in one day, but there were few people coming and going to the post road these days, so it was deserted." No, it's approaching evening, and you're just a diner like you, Childe, otherwise I'd have to close early. ”

Facing Qinlan Chuanyi, relying on the business district economy, it is indeed possible to get some convenience and attract some diners. This Qin Long has some vision.

Liuhe County is now levied and conscripted, and half of the Chengding is missing, and the pedestrian flow of the post road in the past has decreased, and it is natural for the business committee in the shops to stop.

But this is not the main reason, it was just small talk, but Chen Ping had an idea: "This stir-fry technique is good, but since you can have it, you will definitely be able to learn it in Qinlan Chuanyi." Nowadays, there are few diners, which is somewhat related to forced labor, but even if after a while, Ding Fu has served his forced labor and the population of the county has increased, there will probably not be many more diners in your restaurant. ”

Why is that? Childe, you should be a person who has worshiped the master and learned the great truth, but is there a way to pass it on to the little old man? Qin Long said.

"Have you ever thought about doubling this store and building two floors? As long as it's better than that Qinlan Chuanyi, aren't all the people who come to and from the post road come to your store? Chen Ping said.

The little old man thought, but how could there be so much money. Even now, the money borrowed from the villagers has not been repaid. Qin Long sighed.

"It's not difficult to get money, I'm familiar with the person in charge of the store, if you want to expand the store, you really lack money, you can ask him to borrow it." Chen Pingdao added, "It's not profitable." ”

The inn connected to Jiangdu is now only two stores, and the speed of expansion is slower, and there are some omissions. According to Chen Ping's meaning, since the county order of Liuhe County has the advantage, it should bloom everywhere in the county, embedding one stronghold after another in the form of restaurants.

The stronghold is connected to the township, and Chen Ping can erode part of the power that was originally in the hands of the township chief, directly in his hands, and can directly contact the villagers through the stronghold.

The power of the people, Chen Ping knows better than anyone else, millet plus rifle, isn't it the best interpretation of the power of the people?

One stronghold after another, like a pile foundation, and finally converge into a piece, Liuhe County can really be regarded as Chen Ping's Jiangdong foundation.

The land of Jiangdu, facing the Yangtze River, has certain geographical advantages, but it is not large. Its substantive advantage is that Yang Guangxing's palace is here, and Yang Guang's dynasty, whether it is economic, or political, is not inferior to Luoyang, the eastern capital.

Three times in Jiangdu, Jiangdu is difficult, if Chen Ping still doesn't know how to make good use of it, he really can't stand his identity. The expansion to Jiangdu naturally cannot be delayed, and the level of the store cannot be low, so the expansion will be slower.

However, in Liuhe County, it is a good policy to lower the standard slightly, in line with the consumption level of the villagers, and to adapt measures to local conditions and learn to be flexible.

"I've learned someone else's craft, if I borrow money again, will I give it back?" Qin Long was somewhat embarrassed, he never expected that the son in front of him knew the master of the guest inn.

Stealing people's craftsmanship is not a glorious thing after all.

Shi Ren is cute at this point, Xu Youmao is so upright and bright, after all, there are a few who are not ashamed, Qin Long's embarrassed face fell in Chen Ping's eyes, Chen Ping did not break it, and said directly: "Of course, it is not just as simple as embezzling money, you may take a certain commission from it, and then there are vegetables and fish purchased in your store, which need to be specified in the customer stack." But in return, they'll probably help you fix your shop for free. ”

"Then this store is still a little old?" Qin Long was worried, stared at Chen Ping and asked nervously, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of more than a dozen figures galloping on the post road, his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly ran to the door, wanting to close the door, not forgetting to tell Chen Ping, "It's about to blow out the lights."
