Wang Dabeard snickered in his heart, and with a serious face on his face, he emphasized: "It was the big housekeeper Cen who sent someone to greet him, and I also sent someone to keep an eye on it."

When they went back, they went to the Lu family to say goodbye, and when they came, they first went to the Lu family and brought a lot of gifts, nothing more than fish and ducks, and even hundreds of catties of food, which looked like they were not valuable things, but the Lu family accepted them, and the housekeeper Cen also sent them out, and there would be no fake. ”

Sun Liang held his breath in his chest, unable to relieve it, and swallowed him very uncomfortable.

Things have come to this point, he can't help but regret it, when the Huang family gave 1,200 taels of silver, he should have paid for it, if he hadn't forced too much and only gave 500 taels, the Huang family would not have sold the wing house, and it lasted for half a year. Sun Liang didn't expect the Huang family kid to be so tough, and he promised to add it to eight hundred taels, but he didn't say it was successful, and now he finally let people snatch the fat from his mouth, which Sun Liang regretted it, such a good yard, just ran away.

This wharf in Huyang County used to be a river beach, and there would be river water flooding up at every turn in summer, or Lu Can took office, let people repair it into a wharf, and then stepped up the management of public security, only to become a good look, and the shops were earned, he was red-eyed, and wanted to invest in opening a store, only to find that the nearby housing prices had doubled, which was already five or six times that of previous years, and he couldn't get the silver in his hand, so he took a stinky move and let others pick up the benefits.

"Lao Sun, it's my brother who didn't make it clear to you, what business is done, this is going to open a restaurant, see if you can intervene in providing them with rice and noodles, I said it over there, leave a hole for you, and everyone will make money."

Sun Liang's face was a little pale, although he was dissatisfied, but it was much better than just now, and seeing that Wang Dabeard was still looking at him, he nodded: "I'll go around in a few days to see how much money they can leave me." ”

"Well, how about my brother ask them to apologize to you and eat her first?"

"That's it."

Wen Jin inquired about Wang Dabeard and Su Qun, and knew that Sun Liang had opened a winery, the price was a little expensive, but the quality was good, so she asked Sun Liang to offer wine, Sun Liang agreed, and did not trouble Wen Jin for the time being.

In the winter, before the mud reached the roof, it froze first, and there was no way to build a house, the wooden rafters were re-arranged, the reed curtains were laid on the roof, and Wen Jin asked people to put the tiles on it, and they were ready to open a store. When the house is officially built, it is necessary to wait for the spring flowers to bloom, and then put mud on the reeds, and after drying, use lime to build the tiles, and the house is officially completed.

But now, without affecting the use, Wen Jin opened the door on the outer wall, painted the wall with brick-gray slurry, and then asked people to re-paint the brick joints with white lime water to make an illusion of a new brick wall.

At this time, Shiwei Village sent a half-finished table and stool, and the carpenter here only needed to connect the mortise and tenon joints to use the table.

The pots and pans that Wen Jin bought were also prepared, and the restaurant was about to open, and on the edge of the dock, a big sign was erected, with a steaming bowl painted on it, with red oil floating in it, revealing large pieces of fatty meat, with a brief introduction on it, and arrows to guide the way.

Liu Sanjing led the people, in the rented house by the lake, according to Wen Jin's requirements, cleaned the purchased pigs and sent them to the restaurant, Baoshan and Pomegranate, both tied aprons and acted as chefs.

Wen Jin's restaurant focuses on steamed buns in fatty intestine broth. This is a famous snack that Wen Jin ate in Shaanxi in his previous life, called gourd head steamed bun. Break the pancake into pieces, add the boiling broth, pour it out, add it again until it is hot through, then add the blanched daylily, fungus, vermicelli, and marinated fat sausage, and then pour the broth, pour red oil or sesame oil to become, eat the soup fresh intestine fat, fragrant and hot, it is people's favorite in winter.

For people with a lot of money, Wen Jin prepared side dishes: pig's head meat, mouth strips, pig ears, pig lungs, pig hearts, pig belly, most of these are platters, and pork belly is also made into hot soup, in addition, there are stir-fried kidney flowers, yellow stewed pig's trotters, etc., Wen Jin has made the use of the pig offal that people have abandoned nowadays to the extreme.

The restaurant not only focuses on steamed buns, but also has a hot dish, which is the old bowl of fish, the fish in Minghu City is cheap, and Wen Jin's selling price is naturally not expensive.

On this side of the wharf, there are a lot of people who sell rice, there are wontons, porridge, buns, noodles, etc., the best business in the past is a big stew, cabbage and radish stewed vermicelli, put two pieces of pork belly on it, and then pour a few drops of red oil, a bowl of vegetables Wuwen, a steamed bun and two Wen, the average man, a bowl of vegetables and two steamed buns, nine Wenqian.

Go to Wen Jin's side to eat, a bowl of steamed buns, twelve Wen, but it is much more fragrant than stewed vegetables, and the fat intestines, than the meat slices boiled in white water, if you add another penny, you can ask for a bowl of fish, plus two steamed buns, or add two pennies, a bowl of white rice, some people feel sorry for the money, and go to that house to eat stew, and later found that it is better to add more money, come to Wen Jin's side to eat it is worth it, because, Wen Jin's side of the oil and water is big, after eating it is not easy to be hungry, the next meal is less to eat, it is more economical to calculate.

Just opened for a few days, it is natural to give big discounts to attract customers, Wen Jin did not expect that not only attracted the people on the other side of the dock, but also attracted some old residents in the city.

Wen Jin's restaurant, it can be said that the opening was particularly hasty, and even the name was simply called "Qian Ji Hotel", but I didn't expect the business to be so hot, a few days later, it began to turn over, and the customers left and came, she had to temporarily hire someone to help, and at the same time sent someone to call the people of Shiwei Village, who could see the appearance.

There are so many people at the wharf who can afford to eat a dozen or so a meal every day, Wen Jin's business is good, and other food sellers have felt the crisis, the business of the stewed restaurant has plummeted, and the owner Li Youcai is in a hurry to eat the rice, Sun Liang saw this and felt that his opportunity had finally come.

In the past few years, Sun Liang's power has become bigger and bigger, and there are little minions running errands to collect protection money, so he came to Li Youcai's house and scared Li Youcai into a cold sweat: "Uncle Sun, I'll take the money for you, I'll take it for you, alas——, I haven't made any money this month, you also know that opening a restaurant here depends on winter, when it's hot, you can only save your capital and take care of your family's life, there is no surplus, but I, but I'm here, and I'm gone all of a sudden in the past few days......"

He was afraid that Sun Liang would be unhappy, and he chattered about his grievances, Sun Liang sat there with a golden knife, and did not speak, and waited for Li Youcai to nag enough, and then said without a smile: "Shopkeeper Li, you are also a capable person, why did you become deflated at this time?" ”

"I, what can I do, is it difficult for someone to force customers over?"

"Well, the more you talk, the more you come, isn't there good business over there? Stealing your customers? Since she's gotten away the customers she likes, why don't you be generous and send them away the ones they don't like? ”

Seeing Li Youcai's stupid appearance, Sun Liang snorted hatefully: "The more you talk about you, the more stupid you become, I used to think you were a little shrewd." Flicked his sleeves and walked away with the little minions.

Li Youcai pondered for two days and understood what Sun Liang meant, but he didn't dare to implement it, Sun Liang was anyone, he didn't dare to provoke Qian Wenjin, he had a few catties and taels, and he dared to pick up this tiger whisker?

Can stand on the docks, which one is not a human spirit? Just look at the guests who come and go in Qian Ji Hotel, you can understand that from the main book to the head catcher, there are also a number of officials, who have come over to hold their big feet, and it is clear that they have a backstage.

Li Youcai doesn't do bad things, and no one does it. In just two days, Wen Jin Restaurant came to eat three or four batches of white food, and after eating the hot rice, they sweated, and immediately there was a bad smell, obviously they were asking for food on the street, why did they suddenly have good clothes? Someone must be making trouble.

Wen Jin changed the restaurant to charge first, and then serve the food, to put an end to the provocation of those with bad intentions, and also sent someone to inquire outside.

It turned out that Sun Liang visited all the nearby rice sellers, and the one who opposed Wen Jin was a shop that sold wontons.

Wen Jin sneered angrily, that wonton shop is the most pitiful, often eats it, and he hasn't seen Rou Xing'er yet, his family also sells steamed buns, one bite down, I didn't eat it until I got stuck, the second bite, I bit it, they didn't have any repeat customers at all, they could only coax the first blind touch, why do they have an opinion on Wen Jin?

Wen Jin's side, business is getting better and better, but Li Youcai is even more distressed, his family's business is gone, how can he live this day, at this moment, the guy reported that the shopkeeper of Qian Ji Restaurant came to visit.

"Money is in the restaurant?" Li Youcai asked him to run the hall.

"Hmm!"

Seeing the affirmative nod of his subordinates, Li Youcai's face changed from distressed to bitter gourd, and finally, he gritted his teeth: "If she wants to buy my shop, I, I'll fight with her." ”

Wen Jin heard that although Li Youcai was a little scheming, he was not bad and timid, so he came to the door.

Li Youcai saw that a few people behind Wen Jin were obviously practicing the family, and his speech was not so neat: "It's not me, I don't." ”

"What didn't you do?" Shi Qiwang asked.

Li Youcai knew that he had slipped out, he hated himself very much, why was he so out of shape in front of a young man, and the other party was not a bully street ruffian like Sun Liang.

Although Wen Jin stood there quietly, his eyes were cold, and he was under pressure that was not angry but threatening.

Li Youcai couldn't help but defend: "Sun Liang found me and asked me to make a stumbling block for you, I didn't do it, then Sun Liang is not a good person, and you have a good business, that is your ability, I admit to losing the bet, I didn't do anything to be sorry for people......"

"Then, Li Dongjia, I'm not so easy to fool, if you really do what you said, be a man and do things with your conscience, I will definitely not let your business go on so lightly."

Li Youcai's eyelids suddenly raised, he glanced at Wen Jin in surprise, and then drooped down again: "Your food is delicious and not expensive, no one will give up on your side, come to me, unless I reduce the price, but radish and cabbage, tofu and meat, they are all bought with real and practical money, and I also have a cost." ”

"I see, I'm thinking about how I can help you." Wen Jin first gave Li Youcai a bait, and before leaving, Shi Qiwang tempted again: "If anyone wants to cheat our boss behind his back, first ask me if this fist agrees, Li Shopkeeper, you are a good person, not necessarily all good people, if you are willing to help our owner, our owner will naturally return back." ”

Li Youcai agreed again and again.

Sun Liang saw that the Qian family restaurant had been changed to pay the money first and eat later, and his troublemaking plan failed, so he was so angry that he scolded Wen Jin at home.

One plan failed, another plan was born, Sun Liang wanted people to set fire to Wen Jin's side, but there were people patrolling the streets at night at the wharf, and Chai He had to hide in nearby people's homes, Sun Liang wanted to come and go, next door to the Qian Hotel, it was a grocery store, which was Li Youcai's industry, he was selling food here at first, and when the business was good, he bought a big store, and opened a small shop here for his wife to take care of.

Sun Liang came to the door and promised not to let Li Youcai have a loss.

But how dare Li Youcai take such a risk? Sun Liang is anyone, if he can believe it, the old sow will go up the tree.

But Sun Liang didn't come to discuss with him, but to inform him, and after he finished speaking, he let people look at Li Youcai.

Li Youcai's face is strong and calm, but his heart is like a fire, fortunately, his wife doesn't understand why he bought so much firewood, so he sent his younger son to question, Sun Liang gave the guy who knew about it a look, and asked him to find a way to tell his son.

After listening to her son's words, Li Youcai's wife was so frightened that her face turned pale, who dared to set fire to the neighbor's house, didn't she feel uncomfortable for herself? She didn't dare to go to the man to confront her, so after thinking about it, she asked her son to call the person next door.

Sun Dongping thought that this side was in the way of something next door, and the people of this era paid the most attention to harmony and neighborhood, and when he heard the children of the Li family calling him over, he walked very seriously.

The news he got shocked him and hurriedly reported it to Wen Jin.

That night, there was no moonlight, it was dark and I couldn't see my five fingers, Sun Liang's several dog legs piled up the firewood at the door of the hotel, and poured fire oil, just took out the fire medium and lit it, I heard someone shouting: "It's not good, it's water!" ”

A large crowd rushed out of the hotel, half to put out the fire, half to pounce and knock a few villains to the ground.

Looking at the fire again, as soon as the two wet quilts were pressed, they were immediately extinguished, and the people from the hotel came out and carefully extinguished the embers, and even the firewood was moved in.

Sun Liang tossed a little, which was equivalent to sending Wen Jin a few hundred Wen of firewood, and also lost three people, but it didn't work, and he was in a lot of anger, and Wang Dabeard came.

"I heard that someone set fire to the door of the Qian family hotel last night?"

"Huh? Who is so bold? Sun Liang pretended not to know.

Wang Dabeard sneered: "It's someone who is so bold that he doesn't want to die, today the county magistrate has been promoted, and he has already beaten the three of them with 20 boards each, and they have been assigned to the army." ”

"Ascended this morning?" Sun Liang was very surprised, and he also sent someone to salvage it, thinking that he could solve the problem by spending some money.

"Don't look at who opened the restaurant? Hmph, the tiger plucked the feathers on his mouth, and the county magistrate was very angry. ”

No matter how mixed Sun Liang is, he can't see the light, what they are most afraid of is the government, and when they heard the words, they knew that it was Wang Dabeard who came to beat him, so they had to break their teeth and swallow blood, temporarily suppress their anger, and find other ways to find Wen Jin.

Li Youcai sighed at his parents, and Wen Jin sent someone to contact.

I didn't expect business to be so good, and now the people who eat often have to stand behind them to wait for seats, and there are also guests fighting for seats. Wen Jin wants to divert some of it, but where is there a place to use? Winter is coming over, this hot situation should be over, and she doesn't need to open a new store, she has already thought of Li Youcai's territory, the place of the stew restaurant is big enough, and it is relatively clean, just enough to use it.

Sun Dongping made this trip for Wen Jin, and the two saluted each other, so he asked respectfully: "May I ask Shopkeeper Li, your shop, twenty taels of silver a month, rent it or not?" It's still up to you to take care of things, but the kitchen has to be let out, and our owner said that she will rent it until the end of the year, and after the New Year, she will rebuild the house, and your stew will not be affected. ”

Li Youcai is very happy, his business, when it is good, is just this input.

"Shopkeeper Li, our owner said, what you give is not dead money, if you want more, you have to rely on your ability to earn, she gives you a commission, not enough twenty taels, make up enough twenty taels, if it is more, it will belong to you, I don't know what you think?"

And such a good thing? Li Youcai was overjoyed and asked carefully: "Did your owner say how to run it?" ”

"It's to rent your shop temporarily, run the hall and manage it outside, it's still your own people, but the kitchen is done by my people, and you will be given 10% a month."

When Li Youcai heard that Wen Jin's tone was so loud and that he was ready to earn two hundred taels of silver a month, he was immediately stunned, envious in his heart, and stared at him for a while without speaking.

"Shopkeeper Li?" Sun Dongping felt that it was done, so he reminded him in a low voice.

"Huh? OK, OK! Li Youcai is full of words.

This side was originally a hotel, just need to clean up a little, and then change the brand, the middle of the two stores is only 300 meters, the guests over there are waiting for seats and so on, as soon as they heard that it is this side of the division, they immediately came over.

In order to keep the taste consistent, there are new apprentices left here, Baoshan came to do it personally, and the old customers who came to eat didn't find any difference, and soon it was overcrowded.

Li Youcai has never seen such a good business, a dinner table can be turned over three times, and the evenings when there was no business before were full every day.

No wonder people have a big mouth, and they have the ability.

Li Youcai originally planned to steal the teacher, but he didn't expect the lobby outside to be so busy, so busy that his legs were stiff after a meal, so it was easy to sit down and rest for a while, and the guests for dinner came again, and there was no time to go to the kitchen at all.

He didn't have a chance to go to the kitchen, and Baoshan watched it firmly. Sun Liang was still thinking about how to make it bad, and when he saw Li Youcai and Qian Wenjin cooperating, he thought that the arson must have been leaked by Li Youcai, but he was closely watched by Wang Dabeard, and he couldn't do anything for the time being.

...
