In addition to these, the two young men who were busy in the store were also dressed strangely. They were all wearing exactly the same clothes, blue narrow-sleeved muslin pants that were slightly darker than the sky blue outside, and on the chest and behind the clothes, there was also a patterned logo of Zhiwei Zhai, which was completely different from the guys in black and gray half-used clothes in other shops, and looked unusually clean and neat.

The decoration in this shop and the clothes of the guys, Luo Qian heard the report of the housekeeper Yu yesterday, and after returning from the Xuanping Waiting Mansion, he came to see it curiously. But the snacks on the shelf were only brought from the small courtyard in the south of the city today, and at first glance, he didn't even know any of them.

He showed a surprised expression on his face, which had never been very expressive, stretched out his hand and pointed to the dim sum in the hood, turned his head and asked Xia Jin: "These dim sums are all made by the people you taught those subordinates?" ”

Xia Jin nodded: "Yes." ”

In her previous life, when she learned that her parents had been killed, she went to a devil's training camp. After coming out of the training camp and taking revenge on the murderer and accomplice who killed her parents, she was not good. In order not to become a pervert, she found a chef school and studied pastry and tea art for half a year.

Food and tea are the best way to heal people's souls. Sitting in the sunlit garden, looking at the colorful and enticing sweets on the table, and taking a sip of your own tea, you will feel that the world is still beautiful. Half a year later, she walked out of that school, and her mind had become peaceful. Although she then fled, joined the mercenary group, and hid in the night. But every time she finishes a task, she has a chance to rest, and she likes to do it the most. It is to make yourself a beautiful and sweet snack, sit in the sun, and drink a cup of afternoon tea.

She looked at the snacks in the hood, and a faint sense of nostalgia and sadness welled up in her heart.

The past is gone. Sometimes standing on the street, looking at the crowd of people in ancient costumes on the street, the antique buildings, and the coming and going of either sedan chairs or carriages. She will feel like a dream in her past life. Although it was only a few months since I left that world, I suddenly looked back. But I feel that everything I have experienced in that life has become unreal.

Only at this time, looking at the West Point in front of her, which does not belong to this world, can she be sure. Everything that came to her mind in her dreams was real.

Luo Qian stood beside her, sensitively feeling the change in Xia Jin's mood. He turned his face and looked at Xia Jin quietly, as if trying to read her hidden thoughts from her face.

"Xia Gongzi, are you here?" A male voice came from the door, interrupting Xia Jin's remembrance and Luo Qian's gaze.

Both turned their faces to look at the door.

Before they could see the person clearly, Dong Fang pounced like a bird, and called out in surprise: "Brother." ”

Hear my sister's voice. Dong Yan was surprised and happy, took his sister's hand, and saw that her face was much whiter. also gained a little weight, obviously doing well, Dong Yan was happy, and had mixed tastes.

Although he had a lot to say to his sister and was anxious to know how his sister was doing, Dong Yan knew that this was not the time to speak. He let go of Dong Fang's hand, walked over and respectfully saluted Xia Jin: "Young Master Xia." Are you here? After speaking, he looked at Luo Qian again, and asked politely with a smile, "......Who is this?"

Xia Jin bowed his head slightly in satisfaction.

The reason why she wants to use the two brothers and sisters of the Dong family is precisely because of their temperament to treat people and things. This kind of calmness and self-cultivation that has been exposed to it since childhood is not something that those who buy it can learn in a year or two.

No, seeing Luo Qian, Dong Fang's attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, but polite and thoughtful, and there is also a bit of a handsome son in his temperament, which makes people feel good at first sight, and he will not regard him as an ordinary shopkeeper. With such a person Zhang Luo presiding, the grade of this small shop has improved a lot.

"This is Luo Gongzi." Xia Jin introduced.

She knew that Luo Qian didn't like others to say that he was the son of Luo Tuiguan's family, so she didn't mention this identity. And the merchant is not a good reputation, so Luo Qian's identity as another owner has never been mentioned.

Although Xia Jin's introduction was vague, Dong Yan was still respectful, and said: "In Xia Dong Yan, I have seen Luo Gongzi. ”

Luo Qian bowed slightly, stretched out his hand to support Dong Yan, and did not speak.

Seeing this, Xia Jin asked Dong Yan, "Are you ready?" ”

"Yes, it's all ready." Dong Yan replied respectfully.

"It's almost time, let's open."

"Yes." Dong Yan hurriedly took a guy out to set off firecrackers.

Hearing the "crackling" of firecrackers outside, Dong Yan loudly introduced the pastries of the store to the passers-by who gathered around, Xia Jin turned his head and said to Luo Qian: "Let's go, let's go to the small courtyard over there and taste the taste of these dim sum." ”

Luo Qian nodded, followed Xia Jin out, and when he walked to the door, he heard Dong Yan say loudly to the crowd of onlookers: "...... Three days of opening, all pastries in the store are 50% off. You can register your name and address when you buy, and those who have accumulated consumption of five taels of silver can get a bronze card for our store members, and you can get a nine-percent discount on future purchases; Those who spend more than 10 taels of silver will get a silver card, and they will receive a 20% discount on future purchases; Those who spend up to 20 taels of silver will receive a gold card, and they will receive a 7% discount on future purchases. ”

This kind of promotional method, which has been used indiscriminately in modern times, is very novel in ancient times, Luo Qian couldn't help but ask Xia Jin: "Who came up with this idea?" ”

"Oh, it's me. The small skills of carving insects are not enough to mention. Xia Jin was a little embarrassed.

Picking up people's teeth is not a glorious thing.

Luo Qian looked at her deeply and didn't say anything.

The two squeezed out of the crowd, but found that the carriage was also full of people, and even if they got into the carriage, they couldn't leave. The two had no choice but to wait. After Dong Yan finished speaking, the crowd of onlookers either went into the store to buy things, or dispersed and continued to busy themselves, so they were able to board the car.

At this time, Xia Jin found that Dong Fang was still following him, and hurriedly said, "You don't have to follow me, go to the store to help." When your brother is done, talk to him. You go to the courtyard with your brother before noon, and we'll go back together. ”

Dong Fang saw his brother, but he didn't have a chance to speak, and he regretted it in his heart. Hear Xia Jin's words. He was overjoyed, and he made a deep gesture and ran to the store.

Luo Qian looked at Dong Fang and glanced at Xia Jin again. He turned his head away, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Knock knock, knock knock......"

Suddenly, there was the sound of gongs and drums beating in the distance.

Luo Qian looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a group of children, dressed in the same clothes as the food in the store, holding flags in their hands, walking in a neat line to a nearby alley. also shouted together in his mouth, "Zhiweizhai is open", and what Dong Yan said just now.

"You came up with this idea too?" He asked.

Xia Jin nodded: "The new store opens." Always get some publicity. He added, "Give them a new set of clothes, and then give them ten cents, and these children will be in a team of five." It will walk through every alley in the city and promote it for three days. ”

Luo Qian looked at her deeply, turned around and got into his carriage.

After a while, two carriages stopped in front of the small courtyard in the south of the city.

Walking into the small courtyard, a strong aroma of food mixed with the nose came to the nose.

A few subordinates were moving food out of the kitchen in a hurry, and when they saw Xia Jin and Luo Qian coming in, they hurriedly put down the things in their hands and saluted them.

"Alright, you guys are busy." Xia Jin waved his hand. He called a child next to him, pointed to Leshui and said, "Pestle, you take this brother there." Bring a table to the courtyard, take a portion of each snack, and make a pot of tea. ”

"Yes." The pestle answered crisply, beckoned to Leshui, and led him to the house.

This is the son of the young couple, who has just turned six today. At a young age, you can help your parents do a lot of work. Xia Jin pitied him for his youth. I like him to be sensible, and I tell others that he can't help but eat dim s. Not only after half a month, but flesh grew on his originally thin cheeks, revealing cute baby fat.

Although Steward Yu is a housekeeper, he is also a subordinate, so he naturally didn't dare to stand, and he also went to help Leshui move the table and chairs. Yuan Mei'er, a twelve-year-old girl who was helping in the kitchen, was also instructed by her parents to bring snacks and tea.

In the store just now, the dim sum was covered by a gauze cover, and the time was in a hurry, Luo Qian didn't see what these dim sum looked like, only had an impression that none of these dim sum he had ever seen. It wasn't until he was brought to the table one by one that he found that these snacks were either wrapped in white and transparent paper, or packed in small cups and bowls made of bamboo, which looked very clean and exquisite.

"You told people to do this?" Luo Qian picked up a small bamboo bowl and asked Xia Jin.

"Well, yes." Xia Jin nodded.

She was also helpless. In this era, there are no plastic boxes, no cardboard cups, and her restaurant sells takeout, and the main customers are the ladies and ladies who live in the deep house, so she has to find another way.

Fortunately, in this era, the most valuable thing is bamboo and wood materials and labor. The mountains behind the bamboo are all there, and you can cut them directly if you want to. As for labor, people at this time are very hands-on, cutting some bamboo, doing some simple manual work, the elderly and children can do it. Directly tell the people nearby what kind of bamboo bowls and bamboo cups they want, they will go up the mountain to cut the bamboo, saw it and cut it, and send it to this yard, one penny, two or three days of work, and collect hundreds.

However, her dim sum shop takes the boutique route, and this kind of shoddy bamboo bowls and cups naturally cannot be used directly. She hired two master carvers to process the bamboo products into shapes, and then carved them with simple patterns, some with a lid. The effort and cost are not large, but the grade is immediately upgraded by several levels.

This thing is natural and environmentally friendly, and it also has a faint fragrance of bamboo, which is much stronger than those plastic products.

"These bamboo bowls and bamboo cups are only a cost of two pennies. And it can also be recycled. When the customers finish their snacks, they can send them to wash them and send them back, and we will return them a penny. When the time comes, clean and steam once, and you can use it again. Xia Jin explained.

She raised her hand and poured a cup of tea for Luo Qian, pushed the dim sum in front of him, and said, "I don't know what you like to eat, try everything." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to these snacks and introduced their tastes and characteristics one by one.

Luo Qian's gaze followed Xia Jin's introduction, moving on the dim sum. But his attention was on the slender hand in the afterglow. (To be continued)
