The four of them played in the kitchen for a while, looked at the snow outside, and then couldn't hold it anymore and ran into the snow to have a snowball fight.

Xie Xuan and Yang Cuicui are together, Chen Yeer and Zhou Xiaoxiao are together, the four little girls are chasing me on the street, and they fall from time to time, and they don't cry out of pain, but they can't breathe when they laugh.

The neighbors on the street were sweeping the snow at the door with brooms, and Xie Wang's family also dragged the brooms to sweep the snow in the yard and in front of the door, looking up from time to time to see the four little girls playing, with a smile in their eyes.

Xie Xuan was able to play with her friends, she was relieved in her heart, Xie Xuan has been enlightened since she got her ropes, she talks and acts like an adult, although she is well-behaved and sensible, she has lost some innocence, which makes people feel strange in their hearts.

When he was playing, he saw Xie Pingtian driving the car from a distance, and came back with Zhicheng Zhiyuan and the Lin family, Xie Xuan felt strange in his heart, stood in the snow and asked loudly: "Uncle, why are you back again?" ”

As soon as they heard Xie Xuan's question, Zhiyuan and Zhicheng couldn't close their mouths with a smile, and immediately stood up and said with a smile: "When we arrived at the school, Mr. said that the snow was too big, so we would have a two-day vacation!" As they spoke, the two jumped down and ran towards Xie Xuan.

"Holiday? That's what you wanted! Xie Xuan couldn't help but quip.

Zhicheng smiled and didn't mind, "When we arrived at the school, many students didn't go, that is, we were studious, so we rushed over, and Mr. praised us!" ”

was talking, but saw a snowball flying, Zhicheng couldn't dodge, and hit him in the neck, and couldn't help but feel a thrill.

The three of them looked over, but it was Yang Cuicui laughing not far away, and Chen Yeer and Zhou Xiaoxiao were also happy next to them.

"Well, I've never lost a snowball fight!" Zhicheng suddenly became energetic, and he didn't care about the cold, so he immediately squatted down and threw two snowballs and chased after Yang Cuicui.

Now it was lively, four girls and two boys immediately had a snowball fight in the snow, not far away a few children heard the laughter here, and ran out of the house to join them, for a while, snowballs flew around, and they couldn't tell who was the enemy and who was the friend.

Xie Wang took a broom and swept the snow while happily watching a bunch of little guys play wildly. I saw Xie Pingtian unload the car, lead the horse in and feed the forage, and was about to take the broom in Xie Wang's hand, "Mother, I'll sweep it!" ”

After a while, they saw Han Hongcai riding a big green horse running over, and Xie Wang and Xie Pingtian saw it and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Hongcai, what's wrong with the cold weather? Hurry up and get warm and have a cup of hot tea! Xie Wang hurriedly greeted.

Xie Pingtian also dropped the broom and stepped forward to help Han Hongcai hold the reins, "That's it, Brother Hongcai hurriedly went into the house to rest, let's drink two cups together at noon!" ”

Han Hongcai hurriedly excused himself: "No, no, I'm here, I want to tell you that the shop in the county town has been found, let's go and have a look together if we have time today?" ”

"Oops, so fast!" Xie Wang said in surprise, and hurriedly pushed Xie Pingtian: "Hurry up and go to the field to call your father back!" ”

When Xie Qingshan and Xie Pingtian hurried back, several people took Xie Xuan to the county seat to see the shop.

When I arrived at the place, it was really a good location, just at the intersection of Stinky Water Lane and Jinhu Street, near the two residential areas of Changshouli and Jiyangli, with a large flow of people, and a few shops away from Ankang Pavilion.

The shop is also considered to be spacious, with four or five tables and a back kitchen.

Xie Qingshan, father and son, and Xie Xuan fell in love with this place at a glance, and nodded secretly in their hearts, but they didn't show anything in front of the landlord.

Under Han Zhengye's negotiation, the Xie family rented this façade at a price of six taels of silver for one Chinese New Year's Eve.

"Tomorrow will open!"

After signing the deed, Xie Qingshan paid the silver, thinking about the rent of three taels of silver per month, if he didn't start the business quickly and earn it back, he would lose money.

Xie Xuan thought about it, everything in the shop is seen, in addition to the big jar of braised meat, chicken, pork, seasonings, etc., there is no shortage of anything, that is, the tofu skin and dried tofu in the aunt's tofu workshop can be marinated and sold, so that there is one more variety in the house, and the aunt's family also has more inputs.

As soon as he told Xie Qingshan about this, Xie Qingshan also nodded again and again, and asked Xie Pingtian to hurry up and go to Wangjiazhuang to inform Qiu Niang's son-in-law.

"Don't you ask someone to make a plaque on the door?" Xie Xuan asked with a smile.

"A small business, not a big hotel, what kind of plaque to do? Go home and let your grandma pull a piece of cloth and make a flag overnight! Xie Qingshan said.

A few people hurried to buy braised meat jars and all kinds of spices, and went to the butcher shop to buy 30 chickens and dozens of catties of pork.

After going back, the Xie family really marinated chicken and pork overnight, and also marinated some eggs, bean curd and so on, the taste is no worse than braised pork and braised chicken, and it also adds some choices for customers.

In the middle of the morning of the next day, in the sound of a thousand firecrackers in a row, the Xie family's lo-mei spread was opened.

Except for Xie Ping'an, he still had to see that the ground house didn't come, Xie Zhiyuan and Xie Zhicheng didn't come to school, and the rest of the Xie family came. Han Zhengye's father and son also helped the Xie family to stand on the platform of the braised meat shop, and with their broad connections, they brought a lot of business to the Xie family.

Because the Xie family's lo-mei tastes good, and there is also a discount for opening a big reward, buy two catties and get half a catty, and buy braised chicken and send tofu skin and dried tofu, which attracts many people who love to be cheap.

But when they really tasted it, they found that they were afraid that they would have to take the initiative to send silver to the Xie family's shop often and actively in the future.

Speaking of "opening a big reward", Xie Xuan really spent a lot of words with Xie Qingshan for this, Xie Qingshan felt that the rent was already expensive, and he bought two catties of lo-mei and gave half a catty, and the braised chicken also gave tofu skin and dried tofu, isn't this to lose money?

Xie Xuan also told him about the concept of drainage, and only asked: "Grandpa, do you say that the taste of our braised meat is better than that of others?" ”

"That's naturally the most fragrant in our house, I've never tasted such a good lo-mei in my life!"

"What about our price compared to others?"

"It's more than a dozen dollars more expensive than others, but our spices are expensive! How many spices do they use? Let's use more than a dozen of them! ”

"So, there is cheap braised meat to sell, why should people buy our expensive ones? We opened our business with discounts and gifts, just to attract others to buy our braised meat, and after finding that our taste is much better than others, will they still buy those braised pork with poor taste because of only a dozen dollars? ”

Only then did Xie Qingshan agree with Yuanyuan's "opening reward".

"Huh—that's a real smell!"

"It's not the same as other people's lo-mei, this newly opened shop doesn't know how to marinate, why is it so delicious?"

"Didn't you hear from the shopkeeper? With more than a dozen spices secretly made, can the taste be bad? The spices alone have to be worth a lot of money! ”

…………

Lin weighed meat for the guests, Xie Wang collected the money, and although the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were busy drinking saliva, they cooperated tacitly, and there was no rush at all for the newly opened shop.

Just as Xie Xuan was squinting with a smile as he watched the people coming and going, he saw a rather luxurious carriage parked outside, and a young man got out of the carriage.
