When Han Chuan left, the rain fell lightly, Han Chuan and Xiao Shuang'er put away the umbrella and walked out along the root of the sedan chair alley.

After a while, Xiao Shuang'er bumped Han Chuan's elbow, "Shopkeeper, look..."

Han Chuan looked at Xiao Shuang'er's eyes.

A woman with a large turban wrapped around her head jumped out of the side door of the "Qu Mansion" and buried her head all the way to Broad Street.

Han Chuan smiled.

Also.

Seeing is believing, hearing is false.

Qu Niangzi seems to be a person with ideas, how can she trust the one-sided words of strangers who only have one side? It must be verified.

Seeing that Qu Niangzi has a charter and does not blindly follow it, Han Chuan was not angry because she didn't believe in herself, but she was relieved - it's good to be assertive and brainy, and it's good that she was abducted by the old cucumber with her head covered.

Han Chuan took the little pair to walk back slowly, at the base of the city wall, there was a woman carrying a basket of buckets to set up a stall to sell, take a closer look, two large buckets filled with water and a dozen or so beautiful carp.

The carp is so fresh that it jumps in the water, and its tail splashes in the water.

Ho!

This is rare!

In winter, the weather is cold, and it is difficult to find fresh fish in Beijing.

Han Chuan urged Boss Jia several times, but Boss Jia sent it two tails and two tails, crying with a sad face, saying that Han Chuan forced him to die.

"Do you look at how much I look like a fish?! Check it out! Or I'll take off my clothes and go down to the river to catch you!" ”

Seeing that Boss Jia was fat, Han Chuan wanted to nod - anyway, he was fat, and he couldn't sink into the river, so he used waste and floated on the water just to catch fish.

Now seeing a basket of fresh fish, Han Chuan was a little moved, and asked with a smile, "It's cold, it's not easy to catch fish, and there are very few live fish to sell in the market, either dead fish, or half-dead fish." Yours is alive here. ”

The woman looked up, her face was red, and her fingers were red and swollen, and she looked like she had chilblains, dry and swollen in some places, and her whole hand was full of holes.

The woman smiled, "You know the goods!" Those who are afraid of the cold will use nets to catch fish, except for the dying fish this day, who will drill into the nets? We took a small stool, soaked our hands and feet in the water, and caught the net by hand, so that the fish were fresh and there was no injury on the body! ”

It's so cold... Also immersed in ice water to catch fish...

Han Chuan asked the price, wrapped the fish in a circle with 200 wen, the two girls couldn't lift it, Han Chuan stayed in place, and Xiao Shuang'er went back to Dongtangzi Hutong to pull the donkey cart.

Han Chuan had a match and no match, and talked to the woman.

The woman took care of the fish basket neatly with her hands and feet, and carried the copper plate hanging in her arms that had not yet been hot, "... Look at your young age, but you never thought you were a big customer! In addition to fish, there are hares and pheasants in the forest of our village, and there are snails, field chickens and loaches in the river at the door. ”

That's okay.

There is a specialization in the art industry, and Boss Jia is in the six-animal business, and it is a bit out of scope to insult others with these small things.

Han Chuan said with a smile, "That's okay, if you have these good things in the future, just go directly to No. 233 Dongtangzi Hutong to find the shopkeeper He, and give you the price on the market, and don't take advantage of you." ”

The woman was overjoyed and bowed in thanks.

After a while, Xiao Shuang'er led the little girl over.

The woman helped to carry the water basket onto the cart quickly, and the frostbite on her hand was a little painful when it was stained with water, and the woman "hissed" softly.

Han Chuan took out a shell oil from his bosom and handed it to the woman, "... Sister-in-law, this thing relieves itching and swelling, you remember to rub it. ”

Without waiting for the woman to react, Han Chuan got on the board car, and the little girl "pedaled" towards Dongtangzi Hutong.

Xiao Shuang'er leaned on Han Chuan with a smile, "You have a good heart, I was caught by you, and so is Lati." Mama Zhong was also in trouble when she met you. Brother Cui is also blessed by you, otherwise his aunt's habits will not be good in the future. ”

Looking back at the "Qu Mansion" that was gradually moving away, Xiao Shuang'er sighed, "... I only hope that when Qu Niangzi meets you, she can also turn evil into good fortune - at least get rid of the green painted cucumber as soon as possible. ”

Han Chuan pursed her lips.

Let's hope.

This kind of family matter, you have to know what Qu Niangzi knows.

Otherwise, no matter how eager others are, they feel pity again, and they will all work in vain.

Han Chuan was a little worried at this end, but Qu Niangzi frowned tightly and pursed her lips, listening to the mother-in-law wrapped in a headscarf report in the hall.

“... Fortunately, the mother-in-law is a rough sweeper in the inner courtyard, and she doesn't go to the master for a long time, and the uncle just sees the slave and doesn't know it..."The mother-in-law lowered her head and presented the food box, "The slave listened to Mrs. You, ordered half a roast duck, and ordered a few famous dishes handed down from our Xianju and a few new dishes added to the menu... The slave can't recognize the words, and he can still call casually in the front, but he can only hold the menu and compare with the running hall in the back..."

Qu Niangzi's personal girl presented the food box.

Qu Niangzi directly sandwiched a piece of duck meat into the mouth.

The face is very bad.

The shopkeeper did not deceive.

Looking at the other dishes in the food box, Qu Niangzi's face was as dull as if she had eaten a fly.

"Are there many customers in the store?" Qu Niangzi asked softly.

The woman nodded, "It's a lot, it's a lot, they are all sitting in the hall, there are four or five dishes at a table, and it looks like business is very good." ”

Qu Niangzi asked again, "What about the price?" How much did this half duck charge? ”

"Three hundred and thirty wen," the mother-in-law replied, "This box of vegetables is just over five hundred wen." ”

Five hundred texts...

It's half a penny.

Normally, this half duck would be sold for half a penny...

Qu Niangzi instantly understood what Chen Sibai wanted to do.

Reduce fees, reduce the quality of ingredients and dishes, broaden the scope of diners, and increase the number of customers in Liuxianju...

In short, it's self-depreciation!

In order to make money and lower the price, for a century-old store, there is only a dead end!

The gaze is too shallow... It's too shallow...

Qu Niangzi put her hands on her abdomen, raised her head and took a few deep breaths, and her mind flew quickly.

How long has his father been sick, and how long has Chen Sibai been at the helm.

For such a long time, no one in the restaurant told her what Chen Sibai had done, and no one told her what happened in the restaurant! What does this mean? It shows that Chen Sibai holds the restaurant firmly!

The old people who were originally used were either squeezed to the margins, or completely abandoned, and the team was replaced by Chen Sibai's manpower!

Chen Sibai is slowly eroding the immortal residence...

When her father was seriously ill and she was pregnant with Liujia, she eroded and stayed in Xianju!

Qu Niangzi's fists were clenched tightly, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a room full of low-browled maids.

The people in the inner courtyard do not need to go to the restaurant.

But...

Mother-in-law in the inner courtyard... Most of them are related to the steward in the restaurant...

Qu Niangzi's brows furrowed, and she turned her head and smiled with the mother-in-law behind her, "Mrs. Ma, I remember that you are in charge of the account books in the restaurant?" ”

Qu Niangzi smiled very gently, "Your granddaughter, I like it, but have you ever promised to be married?" ”
