Chapter Seventy-Seven: Children Can Do Their Part

Honghe Tower is located in the middle of the main street of Qingyuan County, sitting west and facing east, with a two-story civil structure. The wooden doors and windows railings, the carvings are all atmospheric, and the eaves of the two floors are very tall and exquisite. There is a verandah on the side of the street on the ground floor, and lanterns are hung under the porch, and the purple and red lacquer color looks very substantial. There is also a corridor railing on the side of the second floor facing the street, and from a distance, it seems that there are also carved patterns on the railing.

As a county, it is not easy to have such a magnificent restaurant.

Ye Xinyan looked at Honghe Tower for a moment, then lowered his head and asked Qi Jia: "This is Honghe Tower, let's go in to see the shopkeeper, are you afraid?" ”

Qi Jia shook his head and said, "Don't be afraid." ”

The little guy is really not afraid, since he came to his grandfather's house, he found that when he was with his grandfather, sister and grandmother, no matter what the situation, the three of them would take care of him, and there was nothing that could hurt him. With these relatives holding his hand, the things that can make him scared are far away from him.

Ye Xinyan nodded approvingly: "Yes, our Qijia is a boy, don't be afraid." ”

Two people, one big and one small, holding hands, entered the Honghe Tower, which had not yet started to do business.

As soon as you enter the gate of Honghe Tower, you will see a large hall with tables and chairs neatly placed inside. The tables and chairs here are incomparable to the Qijia stalls, and the tables are thick and atmospheric when they look at the color of the wood, and there are simple decorations on the table top and all around. The matching chair is also carved with a high back, which is very magnificent.

A few guys were scattered in all corners, in the already tidy hall, each doing their own wiping and cleaning work.

At the rear of the hall, on either side are two staircases with elaborate balustrades that lead directly to the second floor.

It's not the time to eat, the Honghe Tower is very clean, and the guys in the hall look very well-behaved, all of them bow their heads to do things, don't talk and laugh, and clean and wipe with their hearts.

A junior who was closer to the door saw the two of them, stopped what he was doing, and came up to him and asked, "Are the two guest officers here for dinner?" It's a little early, we haven't opened yet, so why don't you come back in a while? ”

Talking like this is probably the professional requirement of Xiao Er of Honghe Tower, and Xiao Er obviously doesn't think that these two people in coarse cloth clothes are ...... Brother and sister? It seems that the age gap is a bit big. Mother? The age gap is a bit small. …… In short, the two of them don't look like they can afford to eat in Honghe Tower.

Ye Xinyan hurriedly smiled and said, "Little second brother, we don't eat, we are here to find your shopkeeper, and we have a business to discuss with your shopkeeper." ”

Xiao Er's eyes swept over the large mass of unknown objects that Ye Xinyan was carrying, and then looked at a small toy basket in the hand of the three-year-old child, and made an embarrassed expression, "This sister-in-law, don't make fun of me, our Honghelou is the premier restaurant in Qingyuan County, and it doesn't do business with ordinary small traders." You'd better go and ask somebody. ”

Xiao Er's words are suspected of watching people in the crack of the door, but for Xiao Er, who runs the hall in the largest restaurant in the county, it is already very polite for people to deal with the remarks of two poor women and children.

As an ordinary peasant family, Ye Xinyan naturally didn't have such a glass heart, and when she heard Xiao Er say this, she didn't blush and be embarrassed, and was about to say something more, but she heard her younger brother speak: "Big brother, my family makes delicious food." My grandfather said that it is a delicacy that does not exist in this world, and you don't have it at home. Why don't you try it, big brother? ”

Ye Xinyan was surprised by Qi Jia's performance, but she didn't expect her younger brother to have such eloquence. Since the childish and innocent little pot friend had already said this, Ye Xinyan stopped talking and looked at Xiao Er with a smile.

Children have always been more popular than adults, especially Qi Jia now, with neat clothes, a pair of big black eyes on her clean little face, a face full of sincerity and seriousness, and she is very cute.

Xiao Er's face was embarrassed, you don't have the delicacy in the world, where do we dare to taste it?

After a long time, Xiao Er said: "This sister-in-law, and this little young master, our restaurant really doesn't do business with ordinary small households. Sister-in-law, don't be embarrassed, go to another small restaurant and ask. ”

Ye Xinyan said with a smile: "This thing of mine is really not good to go to other houses, except for the guests of your house, the guests of other small restaurants are afraid that they can't afford to eat my snack." ”

Can't afford other diners? Xiao Er was stunned when he heard this, and said hesitantly: "Then ......, sister-in-law, what you said is true?" If it's true, I'll tell my shopkeeper about it? ”

Ye Xinyan nodded solemnly, "It really can't be true." This food in my house is really not affordable for ordinary guests. ”

Xiao Er was still hesitating, and a person walked out from the back of the hall, in his thirties, of medium stature, dressed in a long gown and a turban, dressed as a businessman.

As soon as Xiao Er saw the visitor, he was immediately relieved, hurriedly caught up, and said: "Shopkeeper, there is a young woman from our restaurant, that's the two, they said that they want to do business with our restaurant, and there is a delicious snack that is not available in the world......"

Xiao Er can't say it anymore, this is what the three-year-old child said, it seems a bit exaggerated?

The shopkeeper of Honghelou was surnamed He, and the shopkeeper He looked at the two people standing in the hall, one big and one small, and saw that the young woman was carrying a tightly wrapped object in her hand, although she was poorly dressed, her demeanor was calm, and she did not have the slightest cowardice and anxiety. The other child held her hand, and there was no fear between her expressions, and she was very safe.

Shopkeeper He nodded secretly, these two don't look like Mengfu.

Ye Xinyan saw that the little second person called him the shopkeeper, and knew that this was the main master, so he took a step forward and said shallowly: "You are the shopkeeper of Honghe Tower, right?" The little woman has a snack here, I want you to see if it can catch your eyes. Seeing that the shopkeeper did not express disgust, she said tentatively, "If you look okay, the little lady wants to sell some of them here and give you a sufficient share of the restaurant." Why don't you take a look at things first? ”

"Oh?" Shopkeeper He felt a little surprised. We can see the Honghe Tower, so we have to sell some on behalf of us, instead of supplying all of the Honghe Tower, which is not small.

Not to be outdone, Qi Jia said: "Uncle, the food made by my family is very good, you can eat some." ”

Said that the shopkeeper He smiled dumbly, this pair is interesting, is it appropriate to sell things like this? But the effect is really good.

Ye Xinyan also smiled, she looked around, and when she saw that there were no guests, she put the wooden barrel wrapped in her hand on a nearby table, and tried to ask, "Shopkeeper, why don't we just look in the hall?" Is it convenient here? ”

Shopkeeper He hesitated slightly, since he had already talked about this, even the children had spoken, and it was nothing to see. If you don't look at it, just send it away, and you won't lose anything. Since you want to see it, let's go to the back hall to see it, if it's really a lot of things, it's good to have more mystery.

"Then let's see in the back hall."

Qi Jia looked at Ye Xinyan, with a question on his face, not knowing whether he should follow this strange uncle.

Ye Xinyan smiled at him, "Let's go in and show Uncle our delicious food, and my sister will lead you." ”

Is it possible to sell it and make money? A smile appeared on Qi Jia's little face, and he happily followed Ye Xinyan inside.
