Volume 1 Chapter 72 The Shop Opened
Old man Xu put down his chopsticks and said to his family, the shop will open tomorrow, and the people who have gone out to sell soy products in the village have promoted the good life of the shop in the past few days.
Many people heard that there was a discount on shopping on the opening day, and they all said that they would come back when the time came.
Xu Yongshan and others went to the shop in the town in the afternoon to prepare, and the soy products to be sold in the shop had already been prepared, so they waited for their family to go to the town early tomorrow morning, and it would open as soon as the auspicious time arrived.
Early the next morning, the Xu family packed up, and a carriage and an ox cart slowly drove towards the entrance of the village.
Xu Danian, Old Man Lin, Li's uncle Li Tong, Old Man Luo, and Chen Sihuai at the entrance of the village were already waiting on the ox cart, and Deng Da'an sat in front to catch the car.
"Why are you so early, didn't you let you come back when the time came?"
When the Xu family's shop opened, it must have invited people from the village to watch the ceremony, but unfortunately the store was too small, so they had to invite the in-laws of the two families, Xu Danian, as the village head, and two old men as representatives.
"It's better to go early and see if there's anything you need help with."
Xu Danian heard Old Man Xu's question and replied, how could they go to watch a ceremony and have a meal, as their closest families, this kind of happy event must be helped together.
"Let's go, it'll be dawn later.".
At the beginning of March, the weather was still a little cold, the Xu family got up early, and now the sky was not fully bright, after the old man Xu finished speaking, the few people who drove the car threw up the reins, and the three cars walked towards the town.
"Uncle Xu, Dad, you are here so early."
When everyone arrived at the door of the shop, it was just dawn, and two large pots were placed at the door of the store according to what Xu Yunjin said, and the charcoal fire was lit below, and the tofu was kept warm in hot water, so that they could start eating directly when they bought it.
"Nagayama, are you ready to use all the tofu you will use today?"
Old man Xu asked Xu Yongshan with a smile, Xu Danian looked at his son in new clothes and full of joy and was very relieved.
In the past, his son worked as a bookkeeper in the town, and outsiders looked at the scenery, but in fact, he was angry with the shopkeeper of the owner, and he never thought that one day his son would also become the shopkeeper, thanks to the eldest brother's family.
"It's done, make a hundred catties of water tofu according to the amount Ah Jin said, I started making it in the middle of the night last night, and there is still a pot to make it."
At the beginning of the workshop, the tofu sold was water tofu, Xu Yunjin felt that the soup was very troublesome, so he let the old tofu be sold far away, and the water tofu sold in the surrounding area was taken, the water tofu was more tender, if the shop was opened, it would definitely be better to water tofu.
A group of people followed Xu Yongshan to the backyard, Lin Hu and Li Dahua were cleaning the stone mill in the yard and the wooden barrel containing bean juice, and they stopped their work when they saw that several families were coming.
"Huzi, Dahua has worked hard for you, take a rest, and your aunt will help clean up after the shop opens."
On the morning of early spring, the foreheads of the two kept sweating, and Old Man Xu and the others looked at the yard There were still a lot of things that needed to be cleaned.
There are also a few half-person-high wooden barrels next to them, looking at them dozens of catties, Lin Hu and Li Dahua are cooperating with one person to stabilize the barrel, and the other person is using a bamboo brush to clean the residue inside.
Xu Yunjin explained to Lin and Li before the opening of the workshop that the workmanship can be slower, but the hygiene must be clean, so all the utensils must be cleaned every day, which is a big project.
"Uncle, it's not hard, this is much lighter than farming in the field, my brother-in-law has a lot of strength, so I'll start next to me, if you want to say that it's hard or the eldest sister and the two sisters-in-law are hard."
Li Dahua, like his father Li Tong, is a very honest and honest person, and at this moment he was sweating on his face, and after speaking, he squatted down to clean the barrel.
Old Man Xu couldn't help nodding, sure enough, the old saying is right, a good wife is prosperous, he married a good daughter-in-law and gave birth to two good sons.
The two daughters-in-law were all picked by the Zhang family, and Mr. Xu never interfered, whether it was the daughter-in-law's character or their mother's family, they had no choice.
Old Man Xu and the others couldn't stay idle, and after doing it in the yard for a while, they went to the front shop to see if there was anything needed
Preparatory.
Zhang took the others to the kitchen, preparing to put all today's tofu in a bucket and send it directly to the big pot in front of him later.
The time I was optimistic about earlier was the middle of the day, so when the time came, everyone went outside the shop.
The Zhang family took the Li family and the Lin family to stand in front of the cauldron, and Xu Yunnan was responsible for entertaining guests in the shop for a while.
Xu Yunjin was arranged to settle accounts and collect money with Xu Yunqing next to him, and the Zhang family didn't want Xu Yunmeng to show up outside.
Mainly because of the continuous replenishment of good things in Xu Yunjin's system, Xu Yunmeng, who is only thirteen years old this year, has begun to take on the graceful figure of a girl.
Today, there are many people talking, afraid that someone will bump into Xu Yunmeng, then it will be a happy thing and a bad thing.
But Xu Yunjin saw that Xu Yunmeng looked yearning for the position of the shopkeeper, so he came up with an idea to put a veil on Xu Yunmeng, and the two sisters were allowed to stand next to Xu Yunqing.
As soon as the time arrived, the firecrackers at the door of the Xujia bean shop rang out, and many people slowly surrounded them.
"Don't miss the guest officers passing by, you may have eaten fresh food made of tofu recently, today our Xu bean shop opened, in the future, everyone wants to eat fresh tofu, to buy soy products are convenient, in the future, I hope you will take care of the shop's business, today the shop opened, buy two catties of tofu and send half a catty, soy products are all full of ten catties to give one catty, guest officers are first come, first served."
After the firecrackers went off, there were more customers around, Xu Yongshan, as the shopkeeper, stood in the middle of the shop to speak, and after listening to Xu Yongshan's words, the people below applauded happily.
"Shopkeeper, you can be regarded as open, this kind of novel food, our old people and children love to eat it, before you walked the streets and alleys to sell, sometimes it is good, it may not be able to buy, in the future, it will be convenient for our family to buy."
Some of the people who have eaten tofu a few times are very happy, most of them live in the town are slightly wealthier, and they can make a few dishes by spending a few pennies to buy two catties of tofu, and many families have saved a lot of money to buy vegetables.
Yongning Town is so big, even if many people have never eaten soy products, people have been spreading it by word of mouth for more than half a month.
What's more, there are also those big restaurants that buy soy products back, and I don't know how many new dishes have come out after researching.
Seeing that Xu Yongshan stood aside a little after speaking, a large number of people crowded to the side of the cauldron to buy tofu, and some people went to the shop to buy other soy products.
Some people who live nearby and have experience in buying tofu before have brought their own small pots.
Xu Yongshan and a few people had considered this problem before, and the sellers who walked the streets and alleys were all sold by people to take out bowls and pack them.
Now that the shop is open, there are inevitably people who don't know or happen to come to the market without anything to bring with them, but they still prepared bowls for them today.
"Congratulations to the shopkeeper on his opening."
Xu Yongshan stood at the door to greet the guests, and after a while, a well-dressed man walked up to Xu Yongshan, and the two subordinates behind him were still holding gift boxes in their hands.
"Who is this guest?"
