Chapter 108: Wanfu Tavern
As soon as the city gate was opened, the people who entered the city outside poured into the city like a tide, occupying the main road, and doing small business that could not be smaller.
A load of dry firewood, two lean chickens, a few pieces of coarse cloth, as long as it is a small gadget that can be made at home during the New Year, everyone will take it to the city to try their luck.
Cheng Yangyang hasn't entered the city for a long time, and the last time he entered the city, he took the prince's carriage and followed Chang Ning to the summer resort to be a cook.
On the first day of opening the city gate, Qian Dongnan of Wanfu Tavern went to Wangjia Village to ask for the resumption of the supply of meat and vegetables, but unfortunately, the fish and rape had been used for support during the New Year and were not provided to the tavern again.
When Qian Dongnan heard this, he couldn't, so he could only go back empty-handed.
Now that Cheng Yangyang has something in her hand, the first place she goes to is Wanfu Tavern.
Wanfu Tavern is in the middle of the main road, only one street away from the Yamen, is a collection of inns, restaurants, and wine shops in one of the taverns, which is the second most tavern in the town.
As for the number one tavern, it must be the flower building in the town, and Cheng Yangyang has not been in contact with the flower building, so I don't know what its business model is, but since it is ranked first, it must be not small.
"Liu Dong, you go to the intermediary first, oh no, you go to the store to find a shop first, it doesn't need to be too big, you can do business and live in people, if you have carrier pigeons, you can also buy two." ”
Cheng Yangyang gave Liu Dong twenty taels of silver, and the steward of the house recognized her, and the last time she went to find her sister, she was thrown out, she didn't want to go again, so they didn't want to say that she was deliberately looking for trouble.
"I'm familiar with the city, it's no problem to hand it over to me!" Liu Dong grew up in the city since he was a child, and he has run all over the big and small corners, and he is more confident in doing things in the city than in the countryside.
On the way here, Cheng Yangyang had already told him that he wanted to rent a shop in the city to specialize in food reservations, so he had to have someone who was familiar with Shimen Town, literate, and bookkeeping, and this person was basically Liu Dong.
If the shop is open, Liu Dong will have to live in the city, so the shop must have a house.
Liu Dong knew that he might be assigned to work in the shop, he was very happy, he had lived in Cheng's house for so long, he was still not used to it, he was uncomfortable, if he lived alone in the city, it might be much better.
Separated from Liu Dongbing, Cheng Yangyang entered the door of Wanfu Tavern alone, most of the guests drinking in the tavern were drinking, and there was a plate of peanuts on their table, and then there was a plate of sauced beef and the like, and there were very few tricks.
"Yo! the guest officer, please ......" The second child in the store saw her come in and greeted her warmly.
"Xiao Er, is Brother Qian here?" Cheng Yangyang didn't go in to sit, but only asked at the counter.
"The girl is looking for our shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper has gone out to buy groceries, and hasn't come back yet," Xiao Er replied.
"Brother Qian is your boss?" Hearing Xiao Er's words, Cheng Yangyang naturally thought that Qian Dongnan was the owner of Wanfu Tavern, and she always thought that he was just a dry buyer.
"No, the money shopkeeper is not our boss, our owner has someone else", Xiao Er glanced at Cheng Yangyang and looked at her slightly vigilantly, "Is the girl looking for our owner or our shopkeeper?"
It turns out that Qian Dongnan is just a store manager, "I'm looking for a money shopkeeper." ”
"That girl, you may have to wait for a while, it's almost lunchtime, and the shopkeeper is coming back", as soon as Xiao Er finished speaking, he saw Qian Dongnan coming in from the door, "The shopkeeper is back!"
Xiao Er put the rag on his shoulder, and ran to take the things that Qian Dongnan was carrying, "Shopkeeper, there is a girl looking for you inside."
"Every day, the food is getting harder and harder to buy", Qian Dongnan was not satisfied with the food today, he complained that the market was not good, and at the same time lowered his head and poured himself a bowl of water, and then looked around the store to see who was looking for him.
Seeing Cheng Yangyang standing in front of the counter looking at him with a smile, Qian Dongnan immediately changed his expression, and he walked towards Cheng Yangyang excitedly, "Miss Cheng, why are you!"
When she came, she must have something to buy!
"Money shopkeeper, long time no see", Cheng Yangyang joked, following Qian Dongnan's guidance, he sat down in an empty seat, and he poured her a bowl of tea.
"Brother Qian, how is the business in the store recently, the city gate is open, and the business is better than before, right?"
"What's the matter!" I had a headache when I mentioned this money, the city gate was opened, there were many people, but I couldn't buy vegetables, "I go out every day to grab things from those people in the city, I can't buy anything, what's the use of good business!"
Speaking of this, he had to complain to Cheng Yangyang, "You said that these people in the city, why do the people in their house go out so early every day, it's useless for me to get up early, I still can't rob them!"
"But you said that they are rich people, they come out to eat restaurants all day long, and they buy so many vegetables at home and feed the pigs!"
"Brother Qian, this has just experienced a famine, who of you has something that you don't keep for yourself, and the supply of materials in the market is in short supply, so there is no way to do it", Cheng Yangyang comforted him.
"I also know this, but I can't grab a little left!" Qian Dongnan is also helpless, for a tavern, there is no food tavern is equivalent to a decoration.
It's so tight, if it weren't for the help, who would want to go out every day, he also wanted to stand in front of the counter to collect the cash and check the accounts.
"Then I'm here today, it should be considered to be able to solve problems for Brother Qian", Cheng Yangyang took out the advertisement he had prepared, spread it on the table, and let Qian Dongnan see it first.
"This is what I can sell at home, Brother Qian, you see what you need, I will give you priority!"
"This is?" Qian Dongnan glanced at Cheng Yangyang, then at the paper on the table, and when he saw the content on the paper, he looked up in disbelief, "This is meat and vegetables!"
Wasn't he going to buy groceries from her a month ago? At that time, she clearly said that there was no more, but now she has it!
"Well, but the supply of vegetables is not much, it may take another two months to get more", she has already taken half of the vegetable plot to build a house, and the other half continues to grow vegetables.
In addition to the usual food at home, the rest that can be sold is only enough to supply the Wanfu Tavern, and if he wants it, then she will not post the vegetable advertisement.
"I want it!" Qian Dongnan didn't think about it, and placed an order directly.
"How much does Brother Qian consume every day, and how much does he need?" This was expected by her, just after the cold winter, vegetables were the most scarce, so he didn't want to blame.
"What, you still have fish?"
"There is no fish for the time being, but I have ducks, and they are wild ducks, and duck eggs", Cheng Yangyang lowered his head and thought for a while, "I know that you are not good at making duck meat here, I can also provide cooked food, roast duck!"
