Chapter 46: Preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival
More than 10 days have passed in a blink of an eye, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is about to arrive.
In the evening of this day, He Yan returned to the backyard from the teahouse, and the widow Zhang Xiuying, who lived in the east house of the backyard, was cooking in the shed in the yard.
Seeing He Yan coming back, he smiled enthusiastically and said, "Brother Wang, I have made a lot of cakes and porridge today, so you can eat them at my place." ”
He Yan also smiled when he heard this: "Okay, then I'm not welcome." ”
"What's so polite." When Zhang Xiuying heard this, she immediately happily brought a bowl of porridge to He Yan.
He Yan looked at this widow, a very amiable woman, soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, much younger here than in the TV series, she looks like a 24 or 5-year-old woman.
After these days of contact, I feel quite comfortable getting along, especially her walking, sitting and lying, calm and moderate, although anxious but not chaotic, it looks very comfortable.
It's that her life is not very good, her parents died early, she took her younger brother to live at the age of ten, and she depended on her younger brother Zhang Chunhe, and finally her younger brother died, she was also taken by Ma Wuye, and under the coaxing of Liu Mazi, she was tricked into Ma's house and sold to foreigners.
After the foreigners inspected the goods at night, she ran out of Ma's house the next morning and died in Shichahai.
He Yan remembered that she was a perfect girl, and she could be motionless when foreigners inspected the goods, completely like a dead person, so the foreigners were very dissatisfied and didn't buy her.
With her endurance and tenacity, He Yan had to admire her.
At this time, after Zhang Xiuying put the porridge in front of He Yan, she picked up a piece of cake, put onions, put the vegetables, rolled up her hands and handed it to He Yan and smiled: "Brother Wang, how about you taste it." ”
"Okay." Saying that, He Yan took it, then took a bite and nodded and smiled: "Yes, it tastes good." ”
Zhang Xiuying smiled happily when she heard this: "Big brother likes to eat." ”
While eating the cake, He Yan asked: "The day after tomorrow is the August Festival, and Chunhe should also come back from the holiday." ”
Zhang Xiuying said: "I should be able to come back tomorrow." ”
Then the two of them chatted casually while eating.
After a while, Li San came to the backyard to ask He Yan what he wanted to eat at night, and as soon as he arrived in the backyard and saw that He Yan had already eaten here, he smiled slightly, and he turned around and went back to the front.
After a while, He Yan finished eating at Zhang Xiuying's place, went back to the house to smoke a cigarette, and after drinking tea, he went to the teahouse in front.
At this time, there were few people in the teahouse, and after the guests were gone, it was time to close.
Li San saw He Yan coming to the front, and when he saw He Yan walking to him, he smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, that Zhang Xiuying is very good." ”
"Do you want me to help you talk about going?"
He Yan knew that he was worried about his own affairs, and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, I'll talk about it later." ”
"I have something to tell you."
Li San asked, "What's the matter?" ”
He Yan said: "Isn't it the Mid-Autumn Festival the day after tomorrow, when you go to buy vegetables tomorrow, first go to the opposite Dazheng Zhai to order some moon cakes with jujube paste stuffing and five-kernel filling." ”
"When you buy vegetables the day after tomorrow, buy another 10 meat, two elbows, and two jars of wine."
Li Sanyi's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Ten catties of meat, two elbows, shopkeeper, what are you going to do?" ”
He Yan smiled: "What else can I do, celebrate the festival, the meat is bought back and let Master Ming make it at night, let's have a good meal, a drink, and have a good holiday." ”
"Why, you don't want to?"
Li San smiled happily and said, "Of course I'm willing, but I don't need so much meat." ”
He Yan said: "Since you eat it, you can eat it well, and it's not my style that picks at the rope." ”
Li San looked at He Yan and said, "The shopkeeper, the one who picks the rope, is your style." ”
He Yan looked at Li San with a smile: "......"
"Can't you change your style?"
Li San smiled: "Okay, okay, change well, change well." ”
He Yan said: "After closing the board, you go and ask the guys, what dishes you want to eat, let them decide, and you can discuss it yourself." ”
Li San nodded and said, "I'll leave this matter to me, don't worry." ”
"I'm out for a walk." After speaking, He Yan walked out.
Li San smiled and said, "You go, you go." ”
He Yan came out of the teahouse, called a carriage on the street, and according to the distance to be done, he first went to the Hengli Money Village in the East Fourth Archway, and when he arrived, he deposited 600 taels of silver and opened 6 silver tickets of 100 taels.
After coming out of Qianzhuang, He Yan went to Rui Fuxiang in Dashilar, this Wang Lifa didn't even have a decent and decent clothes, so he had to make a few clothes.
After arriving in Ruifuxiang, He Yan selected materials, measured the size, and made a total of three sets of cotton shirts, a cotton robe for spring and autumn, a yarn robe for summer, a yarn horse coat, a satin horse jacket, two yarn pants, a satin cotton jacket, and a cotton trousers.
Originally, He Yan only wanted to make a few shirts, as well as autumn and winter clothes, but he was doing it, and he saw that all three seasons were done, and it was not bad for summer, so he did it together.
In fact, this is not much, mainly in the store, I still have to wear Wang Lifa's original clothes, which are too good and inappropriate.
Opening a teahouse is not like opening an antique shop, no matter how good you dress, there is no problem.
Like He Yan in my life and in the fragrance of May acacia flowers, it is normal to wear sable in winter, sable hats, and tribute silk clothes.
When you open a teahouse here, you can't wear it like this, and you can only wear it when you usually go out, so you can wear it the same, only the shirt and pants are worn inside, and you can wear something good.
Especially in the summer, it is still cool to wear a single yarn of pants.
In the end, He Yan ordered the clothes, didn't let them send them home, and came to pick them up in a few days, and the people in the store saw these clothes, so in their eyes, they didn't pick the door, this was already a loser.
After coming out of Ruifuxiang, after the two business things were done, He Yan went to Tsinghua Pool to take a bath.
First soak, then rub, then shave, shave, shave, your own feet do not need to be repaired, and you are exempt.
When this bath was over, He Yan didn't like to go to the kiln, so he didn't go to the Bada Hutong, went home directly, and then went to sleep.
In the blink of an eye, the next day came.
When He Yan got up this morning, as soon as the guys saw He Yan, they all had irrepressible smiles on their faces, and they were really happy to call the shopkeeper.
This was all caused by the fact that Li San told them about having dinner during the Mid-Autumn Festival last night when He Yan was taking a bath.
Although He Yan has given them a higher treatment in these days, and let them eat meat from time to time, although it is not much, it is still several grades stronger than eating a vegetable bun made of vegetables eaten by insects.
It's not that He Yan feels sorry for the meat, nor is it reluctant, no matter what world He Yan is in, he treats his subordinates and subordinates very well, at least better than other people of the same type.
But He Yan is not stupid, he gave enough meat pipes today and can eat as much as he wants, if the business is bad tomorrow, once the food is bad, the guys are likely to be dissatisfied.
Especially the business of opening a teahouse, it is not only Wang Lifa's disaster-ridden teahouse, but also the entire industry will not be able to do it in the future, and the largest and best teahouse in Beijing will have to close down in the future.
If I remember correctly, one of the two best teahouses in the whole capital, one of which lost money and couldn't do it, changed the teahouse into a restaurant, and the other simply closed down completely, and the store was later rented by others enough to open a Western restaurant.
It's the best like now, usually I have a little oil and water in my stomach, but it's not much.
It's the New Year's holiday, and as soon as I come out like this, the guys are immediately very happy, isn't it good, everyone is happy.
