Lin Xia made ice with saltpeter, and now the use of the leisurely Accord at home is much more generous than before, which room is extremely cool, even the lobby of the leisurely Accord is full of air conditioning, many ordinary people who can't afford to buy ice cubes come to the lobby to sit and order a plate of snacks, listen to a little song, rub the coolness, and cool off.

There are also those who have run out of ice cubes at home and bought ice from Zhang Cai, the shopkeeper of the leisurely Accord, but Zhang Cai received Lin Xia's instructions and declined politely, in order not to attract attention, after all, no one knew about saltpeter to make ice in ancient times, and Lin Xia was the only one.

Towards the end of the month, Lei Xin, who was in charge of collecting the account books of Qinghou County and Jiangling County, rushed back, and before he had time to take a breath, Lei Xin directly handed the account book he was carrying in his arms to Lin Xia and asked her to review it.

Lin Xia flipped through the account book, and frowned slightly, "Why is the business of this string of incense so bad, and the daily revenue is only one or two silver?" ”

Next to him, Lei Biao was practicing calligraphy with a pen, and when he heard what Lin Xia said, he stopped writing and said: "Malatang, hot pot and barbecue are not suitable for summer eating, it's too hot." ”

Lei Xin hurriedly nodded and agreed, "This year's summer is particularly hot, so the business of this string of incense is a lot worse, and there is a tooth, saying that the lease of the string of incense is about to expire, and I asked if I want to continue renting." ”

"It's me who didn't think it through."

It stands to reason that this Malatang barbecue hot pot can be sold all year round, the reason is that there are air conditioners and refrigerators in modern summer, and the indoor environment is cold, so it doesn't hurt to eat something hot. But this ancient environment is different, the ice cubes in the ice cellar are not affordable for ordinary people, and there are no ice cubes in ordinary stores to ward off the heat, how can you eat hot pot spicy hot pot that makes people sweat profusely?

Lin Xia sighed slightly, "I won't rent it, firstly, the store of Chuanchuan incense is too small, and secondly, because of the weather, there are not many customers, and it is difficult for vegetables to be stored for a long time, so let's close the business first, and wait for me to find another opportunity to open it." ”

"Yes." Lei Xin responded, "By the way, madam, the water stored in Yalin is about to run out, although the string of incense is about to be closed, but the noodle workshop still needs to be used, Lei Li asked me to ask Mrs. what to do." ”

Before leaving, Lin Xia stored ten jars of pure spiritual water in Yalin Ju for the soup base of strings of incense and threads, and also saved a few jars in the noodle workshop, but fortunately, the fast food restaurant did not use pure spiritual water.

This was about to bottom, and Lin Xia suddenly realized that her success was also pure spiritual water, and her defeat was also pure spiritual water.

The Pure Spirit Bead has always been worn by Lin Xia, and she wants as much Pure Spirit Water as she wants, but she is now in Jimo City, and she can't provide water to the noodle workshop and the first line. Without the pure spirit water, the taste of the soup base and noodles is slightly changed, Lin Xia also knows that the craft of pho and rice noodles has been passed on, and several restaurants in Qinghou County have successfully cloned the rice noodles and rice noodles according to the gourd painting scoop, but the taste is a lot worse, so everyone also prefers to eat a thread, which is the reason for the thanks to the pure spirit water.

But now that she doesn't have the Purifying Spirit Water, everything may fall short.

Lei Xin saw that Lin Xia had been speaking out for a long time, and his face was still a little ugly, and he suddenly became nervous. He also knew that the water in the noodle workshop was specially sent by Lin Xia, although he didn't know what secrets were in the water, but without that water, the taste of the noodles and soup base was much worse.

I don't know when Lei Biao walked to Lin Xia's side, and said calmly: "Let the first-line lead the menu of fried noodles and fried pho, and I'll send someone to send water over here." ”

"Send it over? How to send? Lin Xia looked at Lei Biao with a puzzled expression.

"Dart." Lei Biao replied.

Lin Xia's eyes lit up, and he was secretly annoyed, how could he forget this ancient logistics and dart game?!

Lei Xin nodded hurriedly, "Yes, I will immediately repair a book and send it to Yalinju." After speaking, Lei Xin hurriedly retreated.

Lin Xia smiled with two shallow dimples on his face, hugged Lei Biao and said, "Thanks to my husband's method, otherwise I would have died of depression." However, can this dart game carry water? ”

"Give money, give everything." Lei Biao hugged Lin Xia's shoulders and said, "Do you remember the day we came to Jimo City and met a convoy?" ”

Lin Xia's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered that day, Lei Biao heard that there was an ambush on the hillside with his hidden skills, so they escaped by luck, but the convoy was a little miserable, with a slight death or injury.

"But-" Lin Xia's two eyebrows frowned slightly, "Then the Humen Dart Game doesn't have much fame, right?" ”

This ancient period was not very backward, and many merchants who transported goods or went out to visit relatives and tourists were worried about meeting bandits, so they would choose to take refuge in the dart board and escort them for a while with some money. Therefore, there are dart games in the larger state cities and government cities, but the scale is large and small, and the reputation is mixed.

There are more than a dozen dart games in Jimo City, and the Humen dart game is only at the middle level.

"We are in a hurry to send this water, if it is a big dart bureau, we have to talk about it a day in advance, and the price will be more expensive, the small dart bureau will ask for a price because we are in a hurry, so it is better to choose a familiar dart board."

Lin Xia nodded lightly, listening to what Lei Biao said was quite pertinent, and followed him to the Humen Dart Bureau.

This is Lin Xia's first time entering the dart game, and he looked around curiously at the environment, this Humen dart game obviously has some history.

The paintings on the shadow wall have lost their color, and when you enter the small courtyard, the doorpost is also slightly dilapidated.

In the courtyard, a man in a brown uniform is directing the dart master to count the goods, and after the counting, the goods will be transported to the board car at the gate, and then the number of people will be counted to prepare the darts.

Seeing Lei Biao and Lin Xia, the man quickly ran up to greet them, invited them into the hall, and said with a smile: "I am the eldest young man of the Humen Dart Bureau, Li Yunyou." I wonder what business care you have? ”

"Transporting goods, twenty jars of water, and sending them to Qingxi Village." Lei Biao replied.

Li Yunyou frowned slightly, puzzled: "I don't know what your water is, why do you want to transport it for people and money?" ”

Lin Xia put down the free tea in disgust, thinking that this tea was really bad, and it was not as good as the lowest grade tea in her leisurely Accord. Hearing Li Yunyou's question, he looked impatient and said: "You don't care what kind of water it is, we will give you money to transport the goods!" ”

Seeing Lin Xia speak, a trace of unhappiness flashed in Li Yunyou's eyes, but his tone was still gentle: "The journey from Jimo City to Qingxi Village is only four or five days, although it is not far, but the road is bumpy, and it is inevitable that there will be water leakage, not to mention that the large tank loaded also has weight, I'm afraid——"

Lin Xia rolled his eyes, didn't this person just want to open a high price after laying so much foreshadowing?

Lei Biao naturally saw it, and said loudly: "How much?" ”

Li Yunyou's eyes lit up, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, and said: "Seeing the two faces, the first time I take care of them, I will give the two of them a discount, one or two pieces of silver, and guarantee that the two of them will be sent to Qingxi Village unscathed." ”

Lin Xia's eyebrows were raised, and he seemed to be smiling on his face, and said in disbelief: "A tael of silver? I have 20 jars of water, and you charge me 50 cents for a jar? ”

Although the daily income of the leisurely Accord is nearly two hundred taels of silver, Lei Biao and Lin Xia also have a small property, but Lin Xia can't bear to make people ruthless, who wants to be the wronged boss.

said bluntly: "Li Gongzi, do you see that we are easy to bully, or do you see how stupid we are?" ”

Li Yunyou didn't expect Lin Xia to speak so directly, and the impatience in his eyes became more and more obvious, "How can you be a woman who speaks such foul language?" ”

"Huh." Lin Xia rolled his eyes at him, with a look of disdain, and grabbed Lei Biao's sleeve and prepared to leave, "Gongzi Li, you really don't know how to do business." ”

"I'm not happy to take your job, huh." Li Yunyou said with a disdainful face.

Out of the hall, Lin Xia's little temper was still attacking, "What about cooking, where is it ripe, isn't it still stealing customers?" ”

At this time, Li Yunfei was coming back from outside, his forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat, and he saw a tall and mighty man suddenly appear in the courtyard, followed by a petite woman with an angry face, and immediately regained his memory.

hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Brother Lei? And sister-in-law, why is you so free to come to the dart game as a guest? ”

"Let's talk to you about business." Lei Biao replied calmly as usual.

Lin Xia was obviously not calm, and said angrily: "But it didn't work out, your dart game has a high threshold and a high price, we can't afford it." ”

Li Yunfei was stunned and a little embarrassed, and asked, "I don't know what kind of business Brother Lei cares about?" ”

Lin Xia looked at Li Yunfei for a long time with a very puzzled look, "Is the Humen Dart Bureau Li Yunyou in charge or you?" ”

I saw Li Yunfei smile awkwardly, "My father is in charge of the dart game, but my father has been in bad health in recent years, and he is going to pick one of our brothers to take over the dart game, so let us each take over a team, and whoever makes more money will be in charge." ”

It's really a simple and crude method...... Lin Xia complained secretly.

"I don't know what business Brother Lei cares about, I'll take the darts that my eldest brother doesn't take. Brother Lei is kind to me, and I will do my best to give Brother Lei this trip. ”

What Li Yunfei said was full of sincerity, and Lei Biao didn't talk nonsense, and said bluntly: "Today's dart, twenty jars of water, will be sent to Qingxi Village, and you will make a price." ”

Li Yunyou walked out of the hall and saw Li Yunfei and Lei Biao talking in the courtyard, and approached with a disdainful expression: "Little brother, don't you want to take the darts of those two?" Those two can't afford to pay a high price, so you might as well save some effort. ”

Li Yunfei glanced at Li Yunyou lightly, and then said enthusiastically to Lei Biao: "Brother Lei, you have saved my life, this life-saving grace should be reciprocated, this dart, junior brother, I will transport it to you for free." ”

"Free? You are really daring, this is still a month before the agreed period, and you still have twenty taels of silver to me, thanks to the fact that your team was copied by the bandits, and you lost a lot of mercy. Now, the Humen dart game has to belong to me. ”

After speaking, Li Yunyou let out a snorting laugh from his nostrils triumphantly, and left the courtyard with steps.
