Chapter 19 The county sells vermicelli
"You can sleep in the car for a while, go to the county and ask your father to buy you food, don't be hungry, he has silver." Qin instructed his daughter.
"I know, mother." Lin Muxiao waved at her.
Lin Muxiao has been sleeping on the ox cart, and he can't help but be really sleepy.
"Xiaoxiao, wake up, we're going to the county seat."
Lin Muxiao heard Lin Zetao's voice and slowly opened her eyes.
A confused look.
"Dad, it's here?" I sat up and rubbed my eyes.
"It's coming soon, you're in the car, and you're going to hand over the copper plate when you cross the city gate." Lin Zetao said.
"How much do you pay?" This entry into the city has to pay silver, that is, the toll, the same as the modern high-speed toll station.
"One penny per person."
"Oh." It's not expensive, you can afford it, but there are a lot of people who go into the city every day, which is also making money.
There is no way, the imperial court has to spend money to support officials.
Lin Zetao paid two pennies and pulled the ox cart in, and after entering, Lin Muxiao asked Lin Zetao to inquire about the situation of the restaurant in the county.
It took a while for Lin Zetao to come back.
"Xiaoxiao, I've inquired, the restaurant here is the largest in Heyi Tower, and I heard that there are branches in other counties, and there are all in the capital."
"Then we'll go there." Lin Muxiao nodded, and the two of them headed towards Heyi Tower as soon as they got an ox cart.
"Two guests to eat or stay at the hotel?" The young man at the door stood in front of the two.
"Little brother, we're here to buy vegetables, can you inform your shopkeeper." Lin Zetao said.
"Sell vegetables, then you go to the back door, there are people there to collect vegetables." The little brother pointed to the back.
"Little second brother, we have a new food to show the shopkeeper." Lin Muxiao took a step forward.
"New food? Then you wait! The little brother glanced at the two suspiciously, but went in to find someone.
Lin Zetao breathed a sigh of relief, for fear of being kicked out.
After a while, the trotting hall came over to let them in, and Lin Zetao asked Lin Muxiao to go in and guard the car by himself, because they also brought fifty catties of noodles in the car. When I went into the backyard, I saw two people in their thirties discussing something.
"The shopkeeper, Master Li, someone brought it." Trotter said to the two.
"Well, what new food are you selling?" When the shopkeeper saw that it was a girl, he didn't believe it.
"Our family made some noodles by ourselves, and we wanted to talk to the shopkeeper about business."
Lin Muxiao came in with a handful of vermicelli.
"What is this?" The shopkeeper and Master Li were very puzzled.
"The shopkeeper can let me make it for you first, and then you can eat it."
Lin Muxiao smiled faintly.
"That's okay, Master Li, you take it." The shopkeeper instructed the people around him.
"Yes, little girl, come with me." Master Li took Lin Muxiao to the kitchen.
"Girl, you use it first, I'll wait for you outside." Master Li wanted to go out as he spoke.
"Master Li is here, you look at my practice, I won't have to do it again later." Lin Muxiao didn't let Master Li out.
"Well, let's do it." Master Li hesitated for a moment and agreed.
It took half an hour for two bowls of hot and sour noodles to be ready.
Lin Muxiao waited for the two to taste, and looked at the expressions of the two to know that the business was done.
"Girl, tell me how to talk about this business!" The shopkeeper put down his chopsticks.
"Fifteen wen a catty, we can provide delivery, but according to the distance to add money, the county town will add five wen delivery money each time."
The county seat is not as good as the town, and the business in the county is done, so you have to go back to the town and rent a bullock cart or two, and the wool is out of the sheep, and the money has to be paid by them.
"Fifteen pounds is too expensive, ten wen." The shopkeeper is also a personal essence.
"No, you won't sell anything less." Lin Muxiao didn't back down at all.
