Chapter 143: The Begging Festival
Cheng Qing timidly came behind Xu Xiaoxiao, and she asked quietly, "Xiaoxiao, can I run an oil shop?" ”
Xu Xiaoxiao looked back after hearing the sound, and hurriedly said, "Yes, but the oil shop is more complicated to operate, and it will be very tiring in the future, are you sure you want to do it?" ”
Cheng Qing nodded firmly, "Sure, I want to pay off the debt as soon as possible." ”
Xu Xiaoxiao and Shopkeeper Huang glanced at each other, "Okay, but the oil shop is not so fast, and peanuts still need to be planted, and the peanuts are being awakened and processed after the peanut harvest." ”
Cheng Qing nodded ignorantly, although she didn't understand, she really believed in Xiaoxiao in her heart.
After the candidate for the oil shop was decided, Xu Xiaoxiao and Shopkeeper Huang came to Shopkeeper Zhao's tent with the manual.
Shopkeeper Zhao looked at the list on the manual and was worried, he was worried that he might be the one who opened the store like this, and there would not be many customers who bought it.
"I did the math, there are more than 100 people who have signed up, and you see, dozens of people are competing for the same melon and fruit shop."
Xu Xiaoxiao agreed with Zhao's shopkeeper's statement, she also discovered this thorny problem, and the only thing that can be solved now is bidding competition.
"It's better to do this, we set a starting price, the people who sign up compete, and opening a shop also requires strength and patience, and it is easy for people to give up easily without a threshold."
Shopkeeper Huang nodded in agreement, "That's right, I'm afraid that someone will close the shop for three days and two ends." ”
"How many are you needed?" Shopkeeper Zhao said.
Everyone began to rub their chins and think, the price is too high to scare people away, and the price is too low to make people feel too easy.
"It's better to start with twenty copper plates." Xu Xiaoxiao thought about it and still felt that twenty copper plates were safer.
"It's okay, twenty copper plates can be taken by ordinary families, and the price will go up, and then it depends on how everyone marks the price." Shopkeeper Zhao nodded again and again.
"And when are we going to set the date?" Shopkeeper Huang asked.
At this time, Zhao's shopkeeper's wife, Yu, opened the curtain and walked in, entered the back room and saw that the three of them were talking about things, she left with an embarrassed smile.
Xu Xiaoxiao hurriedly got up, "Sister-in-law, we're done talking, you can come in." ”
"It's okay, I just want to ask the master what to prepare for the Begging Festival in three days." Yu smiled, and then left.
Begging Festival?
Xu Xiaoxiao had a flash of inspiration, and thought of the days when it would not only allow applicants to bid, but also allow the promotion of Chang'an Street.
"Why don't we set the date for the Qiqiao Festival, hold a bidding event at the Yanji Tavern, and hold a food festival at the same time, so that the people who sign up can have confidence in our Chamber of Commerce through the event."
Shopkeeper Huang and Shopkeeper Zhao thought blankly, neither of them knew what kind of festival the food festival Xu Xiaoxiao was talking about.
"This food festival?" Shopkeeper Zhao couldn't help but ask.
Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and hurriedly explained, "This is not a festival, just a general term, it can be held on the same day every year, putting special food on the street, dressing up, and at the same time allowing Cheng Qing's troupe to perform on stage, mainly to increase the confidence of the people who sign up." ”
Shopkeeper Huang and Shopkeeper Zhao woke up like a dream, and gave Xu Xiaoxiao a thumbs up excitedly, "Pay attention to this." ”
"We have a lot of ingredients in Liujia Village, so let's let the people of the Xuanzhao Institute help together when the time comes." Xu Xiaodao.
She can also put the newly developed food of Liu Dahua and Li Daniang in front of the tavern to promote the opening of the business.
Just do it, Xu Xiaoxiao came to Liu Lizheng's tent after coming out of Zhao's shopkeeper's tent.
"Uncle Lizheng."
Liu Li was eating, and when he saw Xu Xiaoxiao walking in, he hurriedly asked Aunt Li to serve the meal, "It's just right, it's time to eat, come and try the new dishes made by your sister-in-law." ”
Xu Xiaoxiao smelled the fragrance as soon as she walked into the tent, she came to the table and looked at the familiar dishes, remembering the menu she gave to Aunt Li some time ago, "Sister-in-law, have you learned?" ”
Aunt Li blushed and came to Xu Xiaoxiao with rice embarrassedly, "Yes, quickly, you can taste it, whether it is delicious or not, you must give pertinent advice, don't be embarrassed." ”
"Okay, I'll try." Xu Xiaoxiao took the rice, picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth.
The braised pork is soft and glutinous and sweet, fat and thin, without a greasy taste, and it melts instantly when you put it in your mouth, and the thick sauce wraps the fatty meat.
"It's delicious." She excitedly gave a thumbs up to Aunt Li.
Aunt Li buried her head in eating shyly, and there was a small laugh from the bowl.
Liu Lizheng ate a piece of braised pork and agreed with Xu Xiaoxiao's statement, and nodded again and again, "It's true that cooking skills have improved, and it's much better than before." ”
"By the way, Uncle Li Zheng, I want to set up food on Chang'an Street on the Qiqiao Festival, and I need help from the people in our village when the time comes, what do you think?" Xu Xiaoxiao said it together while eating.
Liu Lizheng stopped the chopsticks in his hand and asked puzzledly, "Why do you want to put food?" ”
"The main thing is to drive the economy of Xin'an City, so that the surrounding towns will also come to consume, and when the time comes, the villagers can also sell the good food and make a little money." Xu Xiaoxiao said as he chewed on rice.
When Liu Lizheng heard that he could make money, he hurriedly agreed, "No problem, I support you with this, but the villagers' cooking skills are difficult to be elegant." ”
"It's not Aunt Li here, let her gather the villagers to attend classes tomorrow, and then we will pick fresh fruits and vegetables."
"That's right, my brain, sure enough, young people have ideas." Liu Li was clapping his thighs excitedly.
After Xu Xiaoxiao simply finished eating, she left Liu Lizheng's tent, and she came back to her camp.
Liu Dahua was preparing tomorrow's breakfast in the back kitchen, Liu Qiaoer came out of the back kitchen with a yawn, and when she saw Xu Xiaoxiao, she flattened her mouth dissatisfied.
"I haven't seen you all day, where have you gone?"
Xu Xiaoxiao hooked Liu Qiaoer's neck, "There is a chance to make money, do you want to do it?" ”
Liu Qiaoer's eyes were full of gold, and she nodded again and again, "Don't say it earlier, what kind of good project did you do?" ”
"Where's Grandma Liu?" Xu Xiaoxiao smiled mysteriously and stretched her neck to look for Liu Dahua.
Liu Qiao'er glared at her boringly, and then tilted her neck and shouted at the back kitchen, "Mother, Xiaoxiao is looking for you." ”
Liu Dahua walked out of the tent after hearing the shout, she wiped her wet hands, and saw Xu Xiaoxiao hurriedly retreat with an impatient expression.
"You ate? Hungry or not? ”
Xu Xiaoxiao shook his head and said, "Let's go, let's go back." ”
In the tent, Liu Qiaoer pinched her fingers and counted, the more she calculated, the more energetic she became, and she shook Xu Xiaoxiao's arm excitedly.
"Oh my God, isn't it going to make a fortune even if you do a three-body problem?"
Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded her forehead, "Someone has to come, everything is unknown." ”
"That's right, but most people will come when they hear that they can watch a play for free, no matter how far away, right?" Liu Qiao'er said thoughtfully.
Xu Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment, and always felt that it was not appropriate to promote it only in drama, and it was necessary to add more programs that attracted the surrounding people to come and consume.
