Chapter 196: Visitors
Tian Deer and Tian Lu are very different from before. This is something that some villagers still find incredible.
Since the two brothers worked at Lin Qingqing, they didn't bully the rest of the village anymore. In the beginning, every time they saw them on the road, the people of the village would run around in fear, but the two of them were still carrying boxes of goods as if they didn't see anything.
Slowly, although the people in the village were still a little scared, they were relieved to know that they would not do bad things.
However, the fear that the two Tian brothers brought to Jiangle Village in the past was not fake. When you see them on the road, you will still avoid walking. But for Lin Qingqing, everyone is still more grateful.
It's just that how do you explain to a child, 'Why don't the big bad people do bad things?' At that time, Lin Qingqing, the key figure, was often depicted as a blue-faced and fanged evil ghost or a god and Buddha with three heads and six arms. After all, in their eyes, it seems that only these two things can make Tian Deer and Tian Lu change their ways.
But later, as Tian Zhang and Tian Lu became more and more in the store, they became more responsible for maintaining order and communication.
More contact has made the villagers no longer afraid of the two, and quite a bit, the villagers will often ask them for help when there are many tasks that require someone to town.
And the two brothers also slowly integrated into Jiangle Village. Now, when people think of Tian Zhang and Tian Lu, they are no longer the two bad guys who bully men and women, but two good people who are tall and cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
Of course, when Lin Qingqing chatted with the villagers, he always refuted their completely unfounded claim that 'the outside is cold and the inside is hot'. In any case, the status of the two brothers in the village is getting higher and higher, even higher than that of the village chief, who is not very in charge.
"This is the tofu shop? How is it a store that a big man sees? A couple of thugs, who looked half-drunk, staggered into the store.
One of the thugs reached out and touched the girl who worked in the store. "Ah——!h She screamed.
"Tell your 'tofu Shih' to come out, saying that Young Master Ben wants to see her." A crooked-mouthed man at the head said.
"Tofu Shih Tzu doesn't have it, but do you want to try it with your fist?" Tian Deer suddenly appeared in front of them.
The close-up comparison made the gangsters appear low and thin.
Tian Zhang picked them up one by one, like catching chickens, and threw them outside the tofu shop.
The men fell all over the mud and ran away in disgrace, leaving behind the cruel words "remember me".
Tian Zhang smiled. Lately, his work has reminded him more and more of his old days in Hutu. Could it be that he was promoted to store manager, but he wants to do such a thing?
Lin Qingqing didn't know what trouble his name of 'Tofu Shih Tzu' had caused his new store manager. She is even deliberately using her name to promote the new store, so the new store manager's recent work is probably some unskilled people.
Lin Qingqing looked at the thriving tofu shop and felt that he seemed to be a little too self-conscious. Originally, she really thought that the profits from opening a tofu shop could not support her daily expenses. But the accounts of the past three days were slapping her in the face.
What she didn't expect was that it was the villagers of Jiangle Village who supported this store.
Because the villagers of Jiangle Village have a tradition of making tofu themselves, there is no need to buy it from her. What's more, the tofu she sells is not cheap, and the price is not advantageous.
Later, Lin Qingqing himself began to figure out the reason.
It's actually a very simple question. In the past, Jiangle Village was just a poor mountain village, and a small village of fifty people naturally couldn't make much money.
But now, those who farm the fields have income because of her acquisition plan, and others can also make money making mung bean cakes. To put it simply, they have the money to accept a higher unit price, but a better quality product.
Of course, the villagers of Jiangle Village alone are not enough to make this store profitable. The ones who really make it profitable are the rich people who love food.
Most of them are from the town, and there is a distance from here, but the legend of 'Tofu Shih Tzu' has spread in the town, and people also know that there is a very delicious tofu shop in the remote village of Jiangle.
These people from the town can be seen to be different from the people around them by their clothing. In the neighborhood, the peasants did not have much money to buy clothes made of brocade silk, and those wealthy merchants did so out of the commercial habit of 'slamming the door'.
Therefore, when these visitors from the town appeared in Jiangle Village in colorful clothes, the people of Jiangle Village did not know how to receive them.
However, they don't know, Lin Qingqing knows. After all, she used to be dressed 'flamboyant' - in the words of the old couple of the Qi family.
Lin Qingqing spent a lot of money to buy the store on the upper floor of the tofu shop.
In this era, because of the high cost of multi-storey buildings, the second floor is generally more expensive than the first floor, and it is more than a little more expensive. And the reason why Lin Qingqing spent so much money to buy the second floor was to entertain these visitors from the town.
The second floor was originally a teahouse, which was very similar to the restaurant that Lin Qingqing was going to renovate, so when Lin Qingqing bought it, he bought some tables, chairs, and tea stools. As a price, Lin Qingqing looked at his recent bills and considered whether he was going to eat soil to reduce his financial burden.
Lin Qingqing transformed the second floor into a restaurant, and hired a familiar chef to specialize in some tofu-related dishes. Anyway, they're here for the tofu.
In the recipe, it is basically simple dishes such as mapo tofu, clear water tofu, and tofu with shallots. The others are just some ordinary products in Jiangle Village. For example, fresh bamboo shoots, chestnuts and mung bean cakes.
"What's the matter with this tofu, what I eat in the capital is not as smooth as half of this tofu?" A man in a long shirt said as he looked at the clear water tofu in the bowl.
"What's more, you smell this fragrance, it's so mellow, I'm afraid this tofu will be sent for cooking as soon as it's made."
……
"Sure enough, these people who have seen more of the world are different, and the details in this tofu have been tasted." Lin Qingqing said.
"I didn't expect that the difference between the village and the town is so big, it seems that I have been sitting in a well and watching the sky for the first half of my life." A tall and thin man sitting next to Lin Qingqing said.
"Have you decided? I'm afraid nothing good will come of you here. Lin Qingqing persuaded.
"Miss Lin, don't persuade me again, I have made up my mind." The man said, like a martyr in the book who resolutely went to his death.
