Chapter 342: Introspection
[800β small Γ· said β.], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
After another three days, the day entered August, and Luoxia Town became increasingly lively because of the approaching Mid-Autumn Festival.
Jiang Han's two store opening plans have all been sorted out, and they have also been unanimously approved by Jiang and Liu's families.
But choosing one of the two, everyone coincidentally chose to open a dim sum shop.
The reason is also very simple.
There was a successful case of cake in the past, and Yun Niang, who was interested in the dim sum shop, specially made small biscuits and mille-feuille cakes for everyone to taste.
Jiang Han despised this very much, thinking that Yun Niang had learned badly, and used this despicable method to solicit votes.
However, Yun Niang only gave her a common saying, called "facts speak louder than words".
The dim sum recipes and craftsmanship are ready-made, but the cooking skills needed by the restaurant are still half-baked.
Jiang Hanxin said, even if you all choose the dim sum shop, the opinion of the gold owner is greater than the sky, it is a big deal that she tried to hint to Fu Siyu that opening a restaurant is more profitable than opening a dim sum shop.
This morning, when she went to the dock to sell steamed buns, she also asked Uncle Niu to take a look.
After reading it, Uncle Niu highly praised the exhaustiveness of her plan, and praised Jiang Han almost to float, but fortunately, her skin was not thick to the sky, although her face was full of irrepressible pride, but she still said modestly, "There are a lot of opinions from everyone."
Uncle Niu secretly laughed and said: "Since this is the case, then I have nothing to add, only one sentence, you have to remember, no matter what, don't be impatient, don't be rash, don't be black-hearted." β
Jiang Han said: "Uncle, choose one of the two, which plan do you choose?" β
Uncle Niu said, "Let's shop for dim sum." This doesn't need too much of a faΓ§ade, although there are several famous dim sum shops in the town, but the good dim sum sold by the family that week is not the cake you made, I see you have several dim sum names written on it, and a few are said to be not available in the town, and they will definitely be as popular as the cake. β
I didn't expect this uncle to have such an opinion.
Should she really open a dim sum shop?
But no matter how many dim sum they can put out, there are definitely no more people in the town who can buy dim sum to eat than there are people who enter the restaurant, as can be seen from the fact that the number of restaurants in Luoxia Town is far more than the dim sum shop.
I heard Uncle Niu say again: "Moreover, don't forget, today is the first day of the new year, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is about to begin, haven't you considered selling some moon cakes like selling zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival?" You should know how to make mooncakes, right? β
When Jiang Han heard this, his eyes slowly widened, and he said, "It's the first day of junior high today?" β
Uncle Niu shook his head and smiled: "What kind of life is your family, you don't even know that today is the first day of junior high school?" β
This can't be blamed for not knowing what night it is, there is really no wall calendar in ancient times, and there is no old Huang Lijiang family, these days she has been concentrating on writing plans, how can she have time to care about what day it is!
Jiang Han smiled awkwardly, and immediately said, "Thank you uncle for the reminder, otherwise I would really have to miss the Mid-Autumn Festival, a good day for doing business." β
"Okay, you go quickly, when the shop is found, just say if you want the uncle to help. If I go out, you can go to the house to find your aunt. β
Leaving from Uncle Niu, Jiang Han sold the remaining buns in three by five, and ran to Washi Street with an empty basket.
Seeing Fu Siyu's matter, she decided to move for the time being, and first discussed with Yun Niang about making moon cakes.
It's just that she returned to the stall, and before she could speak, Yun Niang pulled her and said mysteriously: "Have you heard?" β
"What did you hear?" Jiang Han looked at her inexplicably.
Yun Niang's face showed a little fear, and said, "Ah, is there no one on the dock?" β
"Biography? Preach what? Jiang Han suddenly gossiped, "Could it be that something big is happening somewhere?" β
"Something happened to Lilai Teahouse and Million Restaurant!"
Jiang Han was stunned: "What does this mean?" β
Yun Niang was a little trembling: "I also just heard from the guest, saying that since the day before yesterday, someone in the Million Restaurant talked and sang in the middle of the night, and then the Lilai Teahouse caught fire for some reason......"
"What? On fire? The teahouse burned down? Jiang Han exclaimed.
"It's not that exaggerated, it's just that the tables and chairs are burned black." Yun Niang couldn't help but glance at her, "It is said that last night, the shopkeeper Wang did not believe in evil and personally guarded the shop, but I saw it in the middle of the night...... Ghost fire, still ......" Speaking of this, Yun Niang shuddered, and was so scared that she couldn't speak.
"What else?" Jiang Han was so curious that his heart itched, and he hurriedly persuaded, "Don't be afraid, even if there is a ghost, you are looking for the king's shopkeeper, our house is far away from the teahouse!" β
When Yun Niang heard this, she was even more scared, looked at her twice, and said in a slurred manner: "Also, the shopkeeper Zeng spoke in his ear ......"
Jiang Han was silent for a moment, and then said hesitantly: "He, he can't be asleep and dreaming, right?" β
"That's what's even more scary...... It is said that he woke up from rolling down the stairs...... Then, when I opened my eyes, I saw the ghost fire......"
Jiang Han was speechless.
If Yun Niang said that the shopkeeper Wang was sleepwalking, then how to explain that people did not sleepwalk decades ago, but suddenly contracted the problem of sleepwalking when they kept vigil in the store?
Jiang Han pursed her lips, while Yun Niang stared at her with a pair of big eyes, hesitated for a moment, and whispered the worry in her heart: "Sister, you say, then, that Zeng shopkeeper, will he find our house?" After all, his death is ......"
Even if Yun Niang didn't say what she said later, Jiang Han guessed what it meant.
She hurriedly waved her hand to comfort: "Don't be afraid, he hasn't been to our house, and even if he wants to find me, he doesn't know the way." β
It's okay not to say this, but when I say Yun Niang, I'm even more scared.
Her face turned pale, and she hurriedly said: "I think I will go back, let's ask my aunt to go to the Eight Immortals Nunnery, invite a few masters to do it, and give the shopkeeper a little more time." I have heard that the more such wicked people are, the heavier their resentment, and they always want to take revenge and are unwilling to be reincarnated. β
"......" Jiang Han bit his lip, looked at Yun Niang helplessly and with some uncertainty, and nodded after a while, "It's okay." Alas, in fact, aside from the fact that he is an inhuman crutch, he did not feel sorry for me, but he took the initiative to help me when I was in trouble. Whether the haunting is true or not, I'm still happy to give him a little more time. β
Yun Niang bowed slightly, her face was a little complicated: "I have seen him, and I still can't imagine that such a person from Si Swenwen would be a black-hearted crutch......"
"I can't think of it! But the evidence was in front of him, and the dark room led to his study...... There must have been someone else behind him that day...... Alas, don't talk about it, the deceased is gone, and when I go home, I'll go to Aunt Liu. β
β¦β¦
Aunt Liu was very pleased with Jiang Han's request.
She felt that this showed that the child finally had a bodhisattva in his heart.
Last time, I led her and Yun Niang to the Eight Immortals Nunnery, and this girl was obviously not taken seriously by Jiao'er Lang.
Aunt Liu immediately agreed, and went to the Eight Immortals Nunnery the next day.
She felt that what Zeng Qi was overdoing was secondary, and the key was to let Shitai give Jiang Han bad luck.
Now that she's going to open a shop, she can't just pop up something to ruin everything.
The matter of excess was handed over to Aunt Liu to contact, and the next thing was the moon cake.
Although there are many kinds of modern moon cakes, Jiang Han has only bought them and never made them.
Fortunately, Yun Niang learned a few hands from her mother, and after talking about the haunting, the two of them took advantage of their free time to buy the materials.
There were less than fifteen days left, there were too many things, they still had to experiment, and they had to move a little faster.
The two of them worked all afternoon, and even the milk tea was stopped, and they were busy until the evening before the first pot was baked.
At dinner, the mooncakes were put on the table.
Father Jiang and Xiao An, plus Duoduo Dog, who was so anxious that they barked aggrievedly under the dinner table, only gave two words "general" after tasting it.
This didn't hit the sisters, they did this kind of experiment a lot, and even the things that Jiang Han had a recipe in his hands before almost didn't succeed at one time, not to mention this moon cake, she only knew how to eat it, and Yun Niang was just a half-hanger who had only done it two or three times.
After eating, drinking tea and chatting, Xiao An suddenly mentioned that Wang Xiaoli was originally going to follow him home, saying that the shopkeeper Wang was thrown down the stairs by a ghost, and the little fat man was so scared that he didn't dare to go back to his house.
At this point, Daddy Jiang knew about the haunting.
So, the next day, Jiang Han, at the request of Jiang's father, went to Wang's house with the mooncakes that were rated as average the day before.
The shopkeeper Wang was indeed sick in bed, but the injury was secondary, only to the waist, and there were some skin injuries, the most important thing was to be scared.
Wang didn't have a good face when he saw Jiang Han, but he didn't want to blast her out of the door.
The shopkeeper Wang, who had a sick face, didn't expect Jiang Han to come to see him, so some of the resentment against her in his heart dissipated a lot.
He smiled reluctantly, motioned for the maid to help him sit up, and then asked, "You know everything?" β
Jiang Han snorted.
Shopkeeper Wang smiled bitterly: "Alas, it is estimated that Zeng Qiji hates me for ruining his good deeds, and does not want me to run his shop." β
Jiang Han was noncommittal, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Then now, what about your cooperation with Master Li?" β
The shopkeeper Wang sighed and sighed: "What else can I do?" It's a blow-up. No matter how much money I make, I can't fight the ghost alone! β
The Wang family on the side, hearing this, glanced at Jiang Han, and said: "Hmph, who can't fight ghosts, from the concubine's point of view, this guy has to blame for these bad lucks, he is embarrassed to come to see you, if she hadn't provoked the young master of the Huang family, would it ruin our elegant room?" If the elegant room is not destroyed, will the dark room be exposed? β
Before Jiang Han could speak, the shopkeeper Wang grabbed ahead of her and scolded: "Okay, this is simply a ...... of right and wrong" Although he reprimanded him for not saying anything harsh, the Wang family was just about to change, and the shopkeeper Wang softened his voice and persuaded, "Madam, hurry up, I have something serious to say to the little brother of the Jiang family, and I have to ask her to help me do something." β
The Wang family was annoyed, his eyes were fixed on Jiang Han, but the words of warning said to the shopkeeper Wang: "Hmph, it's okay to say things, but it's better not to be soft-hearted for a while, and hold this kid again." As he spoke, he glanced at Jiang Han sharply, and then brushed his sleeves away.
After she left, Jiang Han spoke: "Shopkeeper, do you need me to help you do anything?" β
"The matter of the Million Restaurant is completely yellow...... "Shopkeeper Wang laughed, "Originally, there was no result, so Master Li insisted on paying the rent, and the share should not be less than forty or five...... I didn't expect something to happen that night, but now it seems that fortunately I didn't talk about it, otherwise, I didn't pick up a treasure, but stepped on shit. β
When Jiang Han heard this, he didn't echo the words of the shopkeeper Wang, but a thought flashed in his mind.
She forcibly suppressed the excitement in her heart, and listened carefully to the shopkeeper Wang's continued explanation: "You came here today, our shop has been closed for nearly ten days, you must quickly renovate and reopen, otherwise you will miss the Mid-Autumn Festival." β
It's simple, just notify the renovation staff and the project will be restarted.
"Also, did you come up with the show you said last time? I still say the same thing to the shopkeeper, and I will use it when I open. β
This is a bit of a dilemma.
Now that the shopkeeper Wang is lying in bed, she has to do the whole process if she comes up with the show, and now she has to be busy with moon cakes, so how can she have the energy to do this.
"Why can't you do that? Or do you want to put forward any conditions? The king's shopkeeper looked at her and saw that she was about to speak, and he thought that he had guessed correctly.
He shook his head and said in his heart, this kid is like this, what other illusions can he have about her?
So he said: "Okay, you have done this well, and at the end of the year, the shopkeeper will give you two dividends." β
Jiang Han couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Knowing that she could leave at any time in a month, and saying that by the end of the year, if it weren't for seeing him injured in bed and not wanting to hit him again, she really couldn't help but spread things out.
But she didn't say anything, but the shopkeeper Wang, who had been staring at her, guessed it.
He said, "I know, you want to leave as soon as the March period comes." However, I don't think your father can get out of bed yet, your stall has already stabilized, if you stay at the stall all day and watch, it is actually a waste of time, it is better to stay in the teahouse. As long as you can work until the end of the year, the shopkeeper and I will be the talker, and the two dividends will not be less than you. β
Speaking of this, Jiang Han felt that no matter how busy he was with the other party, it would be a little immoral.
She cleared her throat and said as tactfully as possible: "Shopkeeper, in fact, Miss Fu is not looking for me to be a staff officer, she wants to rent a million-dollar restaurant just to cooperate with me." So, I'm sorry, and although I'm grateful to you, I have to leave when the March season comes. β
There was no disbelief on the face of the shopkeeper, and he was also shocked, let alone angry.
He looked at Jiang Han calmly, and after a while, he pulled the corners of his lips and said, "This is a good thing, I congratulate you on the shopkeeper, I didn't expect your kid to be lucky so soon." β
Seeing him like this, Jiang Han felt a little inexplicable guilt in his heart.
She thanked her softly, and said, "Thank you for taking care of the shopkeeper in the past few months." β
"You're welcome." Shopkeeper Wang laughed at himself, "I know, you have always felt that I am not good enough for you and Brother Song, and I don't force your gratitude, as for whether I am good or not, you will understand when you start to manage your own shop." β
Things spread out, but Jiang Han, who came out of the Wang family, was not as relaxed as expected, but a little heavy.
However, she walked all the way home and didn't understand why, but finally decided that no matter whether the shopkeeper Wang was good or bad for herself, when no one wanted her at the beginning, he took him in, so she rushed to this friendship, and she should also try her best to help him take care of the rectification of the teahouse, and then try her best to help him think of a simple and effective program.
