"Which one don't you choose? Why? Gu Huai'an was puzzled, "That one looks more magnificent than other restaurants, I just glanced at it a few times, and there are not as many customers in other restaurants as it is." ”

"In that case, then we don't have to try, they won't accept it."

"Why?"

"Since that restaurant is the leader in this street, it must have a very high vision, just look at its appearance, the owner of the restaurant must like people who are very luxurious, we sell dried fungus, things that can be seen everywhere in the mountains, not a valuable thing, it is estimated that they can't look down on it."

Gu Huaian was quickly persuaded: "What you said also makes some sense. ”

"So let's go here!" Gu Changning pointed with his big hand and pointed to the restaurant near the end of the street, Chen Ji Restaurant.

"Why is that?"

"No, it's more pleasing to the eye!" Gu Changning said confidently.

Looks more pleasing to the eye?

Gu Huai'an raised his eyes to look at the gray appearance of the restaurant, and then looked at the coldness of the few customers inside, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

When did my sister's taste become crooked?

Gu Changning, who didn't know that his brother had secretly tasted crooked, swaggered into the restaurant, and said to the shopkeeper who was making an abacus at the counter: "Shopkeeper, can you collect dried fungus here?" ”

"Dried fungus?" The shopkeeper was a little stunned at first, but after hearing the content of the words, he shook his head and waved his hand, "Little brother, you are in the wrong place, we don't accept dry goods here." ”

"Don't take dry goods?" Gu Changning frowned, but nodded to the shopkeeper without saying anything, said "I'm sorry", and simply turned around and walked out.

There are restaurants in Donghuang Town, but this is the most lively street closest to the wharf, and when it comes to the meal, it is crowded with people who come to eat, and Gu Changning also decided to try it with this in mind.

Try to return, she is not arrogant enough to think that people will definitely collect the fungus, so she left decisively and prepared to go to the next one.

Anyway, she tried it one by one, and there were more than a dozen restaurants in Donghuang Town, and she tried until she was willing to accept the restaurant.

If there is no one willing to accept it until she has traveled to all the restaurants in Donghuang Town, it is a big deal to change the town when the time comes, and she will not die if she does not reach the Yellow River.

Gu Changning quickly made a decision at this moment, but before she could walk out of the restaurant, a young man's voice came from behind.

"Wait, little brother."

Gu Changning was still immersed in his thoughts and continued to walk outside the restaurant, the owner of the voice repeated it loudly when he saw this, Gu Changning heard it, and then turned around in some surprise and looked at the other party.

It was a young man who didn't look much older than her, wearing a moon-white satin robe, a jade jade pendant with a fuzi scroll cloud pattern hanging from his waist, his hair was tied up high by a water-green hairband, his facial features were delicate, his eyes were clear, and he had the clean and quiet temperament of a young man, which made people feel very comfortable to look at, and at the same time made Gu Changning realize that this was a young master from a big family.

"Are you calling me?"

"That's right." Chen Jinshu nodded.

He didn't expect such a coincidence to be able to meet this little boy again in the restaurant he opened, it was really fate.

It's been two months since he last saw her selling raspberries in Xingshui Town, and he has long forgotten the scene he saw at that time, but now that he sees her again, Chen Jinshu has an interest in taking a look at the things in the back basket.

When Chen Jinshu spoke, the shopkeeper who was still staying at the counter hurriedly got up and walked out of the counter to greet him, with a respectful attitude, Gu Changning couldn't help but guess in his heart when he saw this, is this the young owner of Chen Ji in front of him?

Soon, Chen Jinshu verified her idea.

"I just heard in the corridor on the second floor that you want to sell dried fungus? Can you show me? Chen Jinshu said in a clear voice.

Gu Changning was stunned, subconsciously glanced back at her brother who was waiting for her by the door, quickly turned around, and said to Chen Jinshu: "Of course you can." ”

"Young master, this dried fungus ......" The shopkeeper stood aside and frowned, leaned close to him and whispered, as if to remind him.

But before he could finish speaking, Chen Jinshu interrupted him.

"It's okay, I'll just take a look."

"This ...... All right. The shopkeeper hesitated, and for a moment, he still stood aside without saying anything.

The young owner should know the market of fungus, right? You won't rush to the doctor, will you?

The restaurant's recent business is not very good, and it is related to the Wangxian Tower in front.

In fact, not only Chen Kee Restaurant was affected, but the business of this nearby restaurant was robbed by Wangxian Building.

The reason is very simple, just because the owner of Wangxian Tower didn't know where to invite a group of exotic dancers to perform on the balcony of the restaurant at night, which attracted all the guests, and the business was naturally bleak.

Of course, he has no opinion on the way to add new dishes to retain guests, but this fungus can be seen everywhere in the mountains, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a wild vegetable, and it is impossible to retain guests with such a thing.

Not to mention that the fungus usually only appears as a side dish in a dish, just to add some flavor and color to that dish, and very few people will order a plate of vegetarian fried fungus to eat.

If the young owner just wants to take a look out of curiosity, then it's okay, it's okay to take a look, after all, there's nothing to lose by taking a look.

The shopkeeper thought.

As a result, he was slapped in the face by himself in the next second.

"You did it all yourself?" Chen Jinshu glanced at the dried fungus in the back basket that was packed in a sack and asked.

"Hmm."

"How are you going to sell it?"

"A pound of dried fungus can be soaked out of ten pounds of wet fungus, a pound of wet fungus and five Wen, I have a total of three pounds of dried fungus here, and a total of one dollar and five cents of silver." The price had already passed in Gu Changning's heart several times, so she said it without hesitation when she talked about it.

Chen Jinshu frowned slightly, and a trace of solemnity appeared on his delicate face.

Five cents a pound is not expensive, after all, when you come to the restaurant to eat, a dish of dishes starts at fifty yuan, but he also knows that the fungus dish is not more popular than other home-cooked dishes, and there are fewer people who order it, and as an ingredient, it is a bit too much to buy all three catties.

Chen Jinshu glanced at Gu Changning, who was sorting out the mouth of the bag, looked at the top of her head with her long hair tied up, remembered that he saw her selling raspberries in Xingshui Town two months ago, and felt that it was not easy for her to come out to sell this little thing at a young age, so he nodded and asked for it all.

In fact, it is not true to say that Chen Jinshu bought the fungus because he sympathized with her, probably because he listened to the confrontation between her and the woman who wanted to repay the debt, and he appreciated it very much, so he decided to help her.

When the family is very short of money, he does not regard the overcharged money as his own, but uses it to do good deeds and scatter it, so that he not only adheres to the principle of not sitting on the ground, but also appropriately lets the woman who loves to take advantage of him get a lesson, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, which makes him look at it a little differently.

"Young Master?" As soon as the shopkeeper finished appeasing himself over there, he saw Chen Jinshu coming down in the blink of an eye, his face was full of shock, "This fungus ......"

"Uncle Yan, I understand." Chen Jinshu gave him a look and said with a hint.

The shopkeeper Yan saw that his young master knew what to expect, and learned that he might have some other considerations and decided to accept this fungus, so he didn't say anything more.

Although Gu Changning kept his head down, trying to support/open the bag to show them the fungus of the sack clearly, his mind was all on the person in front of him, pricking up his little ears to listen carefully to the conversation between them, and waiting for them to give an answer.

Gu Changning was overjoyed when he heard Chen Jinshu say that he had bought them all, and his eyes lit up instantly, but after Yu Guang noticed that the shopkeeper's expression was a little wrong, he began to ponder in his heart.

Can't the fungus be sold here? Why is the shopkeeper hesitant?

Gu Changning felt that her previous thoughts were a little naïve, she also thought that the fungus could only be picked in summer and autumn, so it was relatively rare for restaurants.

Just like prey in the mountains, although pheasants and local chickens are both birds, the price of pheasants is two or three times higher than that of domestic chickens.

It turns out that the fungus is not it......

Gu Changning's thoughts were flickering, and the shopkeeper had already received the instructions of the young master, and said to her in a somewhat stiff tone: "Our young owner said that these dried fungus are all wanted, you come to the back kitchen with me, weigh two catties first and then give money." ”

"Okay." Gu Changning nodded, and then said to his brother who was waiting at the door, "Brother, wait for me in the lobby first, and I'll come out soon." ”

"Do you want me to go in with you?" Gu Huai'an had just taken two steps towards his sister when she persuaded him to ask with concern on his face.

"It's okay, no, I can handle it, brother, don't worry." Gu Changning smiled at him and said firmly.

Seeing that she insisted, Gu Huai'an could only stop and stand by the pillar with a little crampedness and wait.

Chen Jinshu saw Gu Changning and the shopkeeper Yan enter the backyard, he didn't follow, but walked to the counter, flipped through the purchase list and account book records, and thought carefully.

Although he is only ten years old, his mother is ready to let him slowly get in touch with the family industry.

This Chen Kee branch happened to be facing a decline in business, and Mrs. Chen felt that she could start here, so that she knew what to do if such a situation happened in the future, so she asked him to come over with Buyuan to check the situation.

Buying fungus was just an accident, and it was not within the scope of his original plan, so he didn't pay much attention to this matter, and after saying that he wanted everything, he left it to the shopkeeper Yan to deal with.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that it was precisely because of his unintentional move that he avoided a catastrophe in his family, which made him inevitably break out in a cold sweat when he thought about it in the days to come.

He went from a rich boy to a prisoner, just one step away.

……

Due to the recent bad business, the backyard kitchen is much more deserted, and the stove, which should be stuffy, has become a little cool because it has not been lit.

Gu Changning followed the shopkeeper Yan into the kitchen, and saw a few cooks who had nothing to do sitting with their men talking about homely things, only one of the eight stoves had a fire in it, and only one cook on the rectangular wooden table was cooking the ingredients.

Gu Changning just glanced at it casually, and when he saw when his face changed, he shouted at the cook, "Stop!" You can't cook that fugu like that! ”
