The three of them walked out of the gate and went straight to the lively market. At that time, the market was also separated, and the people who lived and those who did business were not together, where was it like now, doing business downstairs, and living upstairs, two in one. However, in ancient times, it was also easy to manage.

Zhou Xiaocao had already gone out once, but that time he went straight to the Qinglou and did not pass through the street market where he was doing business. This time, when I came out to this street, I saw people coming and going, and the small vendors on the street were all doing their own tricks to solicit business, which was very interesting. Zhou Xiaocao watched it with relish, you look at this, it's lively, it's still the ancient costumes that everyone wears, how interesting it is.

was intoxicated by this wonderful environment, and a puff of black smoke drifted over, choking Zhou Xiaocao to cough. When I saw it, it was a bearded man at a barbecue stall, who was holding a fan and fanning the charcoal fire fiercely. Xu is the charcoal fire has just been extinguished, and now he is sprinkling some oil into it to make a fire, no wonder there is smoke wafting up.

Zhou Xiaocao walked over and said, "Hey, what did you do, the smoke is floating on my face!" ”

When the Hu man saw Zhou Xiaocao dressed magnificently, he knew that he was a rich and powerful person, so he hurriedly nodded and apologized: "That's really sorry, it's a small one who doesn't have long eyes, I didn't see you fighting here, uncle, it's a crime!" ”

As the saying goes, don't stretch out your hand and don't hit a smiling person, this Hu person can speak well, plus he is also a Hu person in his own family, Zhou Xiaocao has a trace of kindness for no reason. When I looked closely, I saw that this Hu man was doing a barbecue business, and the pieces of mutton were cut squarely, forked with a fork, and roasted on the charcoal fire, which was really fragrant, and I had an appetite when I looked at it.

Zhou Xiaocao asked, "How is your business?" ”

The Hu man scratched his head and said: "Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad, although our Cangzhou is not a small place, but after all, this barbecue is not something that most people can afford, so the daily business is like that." ”

Zhou Xiaocaoxin said that you have such a big piece of meat, where can ordinary people afford it. So he said: "Young master, I'll teach you a trick, keeping your business ten times better than now, do you say it's okay?" ”

Hu was very happy: "That's good, that's good!" Young master, you are a person with a way at first glance, and the method you teach must be good. ”

Zhou Xiaocao glanced at him and said, "Don't just slap the sycophants, you also have to charge tuition, young master, I can't teach you in vain." In this way, you give me ten taels of silver, and I will teach you how to make money every day. ”

Hu Ren hurriedly waved his hand: "How can that happen?" I can't earn ten taels of silver this month, so you need ten taels if you have an idea? ”

Zhou Xiaocao asked, "Then how much do you earn in a month?" ”

Hu Ren's eyes rolled, and he stretched out two fingers and said, "Two taels." ”

Zhou Xiaocao said: "Okay, I'll ask you for two taels of silver." I'm suing you, if you learn my method, you can earn ten taels a month, and you will only make money and not lose money. ”

Hu Ren was not fooled: "You teach me the way first, and then I'll give you money." ”

Zhou Xiaocao instructed Hu Ren to chop up large pieces of meat, and told him to get chopsticks. Hu Ren asked curiously, "What are you doing with chopsticks?" ”

Zhou Xiaocao said impatiently: "If you are told to go, you will go, where is so much nonsense!" I took the chopsticks and cut them into bamboo skewers, which I will use later. ”

So, under the single-handed operation of Zhou Xiaocao, the prototype of the later generation of kebabs came out. The Hu people took the skewer test, Zhou Xiaocao and Ginkgo Lu Xiaofeng were full first, and the Hu people also praised it for being much more delicious.

Zhou Xiaocao said: "You said, in this way, you chopped all the meat, cooked quickly, not easy to burn, and the same meat was sold for more money." This is a small amount, and those who can't afford it on weekdays also come to eat, do you say you make money? ”

Hu Ren smiled with joy, and said in a loud voice: "Make money, make money!" Young master, you are really a way to turn stones into gold. No, this is two taels of silver, you have taken it. ”

Zhou Xiaocao whistled, blushed his stomach, and left with the two subordinates, leaving the Hu man still giggling there. It wasn't until business came to the door that I came to my senses. However, since Zhou Xiaocao taught him the ability to grill lamb skewers in later generations, this Hu man's business has been booming, and he has also opened a chain store.

Over there, Ginkgo Biloba smiled so much that her waist bent: "Young master, you are so bad, where is someone who eats other people's things, and asks people to give you money, ouch... I'm laughing to death......"

Zhou Xiaocao said triumphantly: "That's, who am I, young master!" Lu Xiaofeng, what do you think? ”

Lu Xiaofeng was licking his oil-stained paws, and said when he heard the words, "I think it's delicious." ”

Zhou Xiaocao kicked Lu Xiaofeng's buttocks: "You foodie, you know how to eat!" ”

Lu Xiaofeng shouted and said, "Young master, I'm still injured there, don't kick there!" ”

Ginkgo said: "I didn't expect you to be so good at business, young master, if you can help the young grandmother take care of the business together, then the young grandmother will be much easier." ”

As soon as Zhou Xiaocao heard this, he immediately became arrogant: "That's it, don't look at who your young master is!" Slowly teach a Hu person to barbecue, that is, how to govern this market in the instructor's office, I also have a way! ”

Ginkgo looked at Zhou Xiaocao with admiration, and her eyes lit up: "Wow, the young master is so powerful!" ”

Zhou Xiaocao remembered the picture of this little girl warming her bed last night, and couldn't help but feel her heart move, the paw was a little dishonest, and she reached out to take the ginkgo biloba into her arms. He had heard that all the girls in the room could have sex, and they were basically forbidden by the owner.

Before Zhou Xiaocao's hand touched the ginkgo biloba, who was looking at the young master with a look of adoration, a voice sounded behind him: "Young man, your tone is not small, can you even take care of the affairs of the government?" ”

When the three of them looked back, they saw a middle-aged man in a long robe standing behind him, followed by a big man.

Zhou Xiaocao was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and he didn't ask who this middle-aged man was, so he said: "This gentleman, since you asked, then I will tell you." What about this street, the first is to standardize the operation, to unify the business area, each stall can not exceed a certain width, the road to the customer; The second is that the government issues a business license, and it must be inspected from time to time, and the business qualification will be banned if it is not qualified; Third, it is necessary to organize urban management ......"

Zhou Xiaocao shook out the set of plans for governing market norms in later generations, and the middle-aged man nodded and shook his head for a while.

In the end, what Xiaocao said this week was foaming at the mouth, and Lu Xiaofeng and Ginkgo Biloba could hear it in a fog, that is, this middle-aged person could still understand one-third. Finally, he said: "Young people have a lot of ideas, what is your name, do you have any fame?" ”

Zhou Xiaocao said: "Fame... Not for the time being, but now it's working hard, well, it's trying! In the next is the surname Zhou Xiaocao, Feng Zigui Feng is my father-in-law. ”

The big man who followed the middle-aged man laughed out loud: "It turned out to be Young Master Zhou from Boss Feng's family, haha." ”

The middle-aged man said, "Don't be rude! ”

He said to Zhou Xiaocao again: "My surname is Xie, young man, if we have a fate in the future, we will meet again." Don't leave it at that. ”

"Bye-bye!"

Zhou Xiaocao led the two entourages away, and here Master Xie said to the big man behind him: "Where is the girl Qiu Yan?" ”

The big man bowed down and replied, "Back to my lord, the young lady took the maid to a tailor's shop called Zhiyifang. Rest assured, my lord, the lowly position is already being watched by others. ”

"Well, you're doing a good job." Master Xie nodded and said.

On the other side, Zhou Xiaocao took the two of them around for a while and asked, "Which tailor in this Cangzhou Mansion is the most famous?" ”

Yin Xing'er said: "Back to the young master, if you want to count the best handiwork, then you have to talk about Zhiyifang." Almost all of my grandmother's clothes were custom-made there. ”

Zhou Xiaocao waved his hand: "Let's go, then let's go to this Zhiyi Fang!" ”
