Chapter 66: Door-to-door warning
The villagers congratulated and said sour words, and the old man said, "They are all villagers, go to Xu's pastry shop to buy snacks, and let Dashi weigh the scales more prosperous." ”
The ostentatious appearance made many people snort.
The fifth grandfather's donkey cart added a simple shed, which could block the wind, the Qin family put on the thickest clothes, Xu Lanting wore a hat, and wrapped it in a mattress with the wishing brothers and sisters.
Coming to the backyard of the shop, they entered the yard through the back door.
The small courtyard is small and has a well in it. Three main rooms, three left wings, and a brick wall on the right. Later, the family bought a little land outside the right wall and built three more wings.
The main room is two bedrooms and one hall, Xu Dashi and his wife live in one, and Xu Lanzhou lives in one. The wing room is the kitchen, the drying room, and the warehouse, and the drying room specially invited someone to make a large simmering oven, which is particularly cramped.
There are two shops in front, one large and one small, and a small one is rented for others to sell dry groceries.
Xu Dashi, who was wearing a silk robe, was busy inside and out.
Xu Lanyin said with a smile, "The shopkeeper Xu is a bit of a big boss." ”
It made everyone happy, and Gu's laughter was particularly loud.
Xu Lanyin rolled up her sleeves to help. Li led two elementary school apprentices to start making dim sum before dawn, plus yesterday and the day before yesterday, dozens of large wooden plates were piled up.
Twelve plates were placed on the counter, containing various snacks cut into small pieces, and toothpicks were placed next to them, which was a popular tasting in the past life.
There is also a big sign in front of the door, which reads, 6% off on the first day, 7% off on the second to 3rd days, and 9% off on the 4th to 8th days.
In order to publicize, Xu Lanyin asked Xu Lanzhou to write dozens of "advertising leaflets", which not only wrote the address of the shop, the names of several new products, but also wrote some advertising slogans from the previous life, which were posted in all corners of the county.
This belonged to the "psoriasis" that destroyed the image of the city in the previous life, and in this life it is not only not "psoriasis", but also a spectacle. Because only wanted criminals and major events in the imperial court will post notices everywhere.
Of course, Xu Lanyin didn't dare to make a taboo. Notices are generally posted on the city walls and eye-catching shops and homes, while the advertising leaflets of "Xujia Pastry" are posted on trees.
Many people looked around with great curiosity, and those who knew the words were even more proud, reading them to the illiterate people.
"Fill your mouth, sweetheart. The cake can talk, don't believe you bite it" and other advertising slogans made these ancient people laugh from time to time.
Therefore, there were some people outside the shop early this morning. Standing at the front were Hong Zhen, Hu and Sister Fang, who were wearing official uniforms, as well as the purchase of the second uncle's family of the Hu family, and the purchase of the tea shop opened by the Hu family in the county seat. The Hu family sent some dim sum made by the Xu family to the Hu family, and they all liked to eat it very much. They came here early in the morning, not only to cheer, but also to really want to buy.
Xu Dashi hurriedly came out and invited them to sit in the backyard and drink tea, Hong Zhen smiled, "Let Fang'er Niang go in and rest, Fang'er and I are here to make up the popularity of the shop." ”
Xu Lanyin also saw the ancient woman from a distance, she stood at the door of her teahouse and went here to watch, with a look of resentment. Xu Lan was angry with the mother and son because of the secret music.
Firecrackers went off and it officially opened.
The first customers to come in were, of course, Hong Zhen's father and daughter, followed by the people attracted by the advertisement and nearby residents. Because most of the dim sum is a new product that is not available in this era, the style is good-looking, and it sells very well.
Before noon, Steward Tang came in person with the purchase of the Min family.
Steward Tang also smiled and said, "My grandmother and eldest girl like to eat Miss Xu's dim sum the most, and they buy some of everything." Although the eldest girl went to the capital, the eldest grandmother is still at home. ”
After they bought the pastries, they were invited to the backyard. Hong Zhen's family, the Hu family, and the tea shop are also here, and the Xu family wants to invite them to dinner. Xu Lanyin gave the little squirrel to Sister Fang, and the little girl was so happy that she pulled the rope and didn't let go.
Gu and Qin have prepared some dishes at home, bring them here today, and buy a few more dishes at Yiju Restaurant.
Listening to Steward Tang, Mrs. Min took Miss Min to the capital a few days ago, and the old lady Min of Shangshu Mansion had a big birthday, and they went to celebrate their birthday.
Xu Lanyin served them tea, so she took a basket of snacks to Yiju Restaurant to buy vegetables.
There were three tables in the lobby of the restaurant, and the business was not good.
The shopkeeper is in his thirties, slightly chubby, ordinary-looking, with a kind face, and is standing behind the counter with an abacus.
Xu Lanyin went directly over and put the dim sum on the shopkeeper, and said with a smile, "My dim sum shop is open today, and I ask my uncle to take care of it." ”
The shopkeeper laughed, clenched his fists and said, "Congratulations on the opening of your shop and the rolling of money." Ouch, and brought me some snacks, thank you. ”
The two exchanged a few polite words, and Xu Lanyin ordered a few big dishes such as sauce elbow, rouge goose, Luohan shrimp, and guinea fowl.
Xiao Er helped bring the dishes to the Xu family's shop, and after the wine and food were full, Hong Zhen's family and the soup housekeeper and others said goodbye.
The dim sum tastes good, the advertisements are in place, the shop business is very good, and there is an endless stream of customers. Those idlers and gangsters who wanted to come to collect protection money or "borrow" money, seeing that this family not only had a good relationship with the military master who was an official, but even the soup steward of the county lord's family was familiar with them, so they didn't dare to come to make trouble and ask for money.
They didn't know Hong Zhen, but they knew the six-grade military attache uniform on his body. And Steward Tang's face is a golden signboard, and there are no people who want to mix in Nanping County who don't know him.
The next day, Xu Lanyin went to the dim sum shop again. She has to see how many repeat customers there are, listen to their feedback, and then make adjustments to how much she does for each sample.
At the end of the morning, when she was busy with Xu Dashi in the front shop, an elementary school apprentice came to her and said, "Sister Xu, there is a guest in the backyard, saying that he is looking for you." ”
Xu Lanyin went out to see that it was Xu Wangchen standing in the courtyard with a heavy face.
Xu Lanyin walked over and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing here?" Let's go, you're not welcome here, and we won't do your business. ”
Gu Wangchen snorted coldly, "Do you think I want to come?" I'm here to say two words, and I'll leave when I'm done. He made a look of helplessness and anger, and said, "What's the use of you chasing here? It's no longer possible for us, so let's just change places and open a shop. ”
Xu Lan laughed sarcastically and said, "Gu Wangchen, you think too highly of yourself." This shop has a good port, suitable for selling dim sum, my family rented a shop to do business, why did it become chasing you here? Why should I change places, you don't want to see me, you just change. ”
Gu Wangchen's face turned red from being frightened, and he said, "It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable." You have to do whatever you want here, it won't work in vain, and it's annoying. With that, he turned around and left.
Xu Lanyin said to his back, "I will do a lot of things with all my might, but definitely not you." But you really can't think of that little thing that you have worked so hard to think about. ”
