Sitting on the donkey cart of the four masters' family, he came to the county seat with the little four okra in April.

The tofu shop of the four grandfathers is also located near the market, not far from the noodle soup shop. I went to see it in April, and the business was booming, and there was still an hour before noon, and the tofu had been sold out, leaving only a small amount of tofu skin.

When Xiao Wu saw April, he was extremely enthusiastic, and repeatedly invited April to have dinner at his home at noon.

In April, he repeatedly excused himself, "I have to be busy opening a store, there are too many things and too many things." Another day, I'll come back another day. ”

In private, she also asked Xiao Wu if anyone who opened a store in the county town came to ask for trouble.

Xiao Wu secretly told her, "At the beginning, someone came to collect protection money, and they smashed the store without giving money. Later, I found a relationship with the yamen and sent money, so those ruffians and hooligans did not come to make trouble. ”

April knew in his heart that there were capable people in the four masters' families, and they could support the people in the yamen, but they still made a sum of money. It depends on the situation, but also regular filial piety.

She doesn't have so much money, and she doesn't have the way to the yamen, so it's right to find Lu's support.

With this consideration, after meeting with the two uncles, April specially advised. Small business, just keep your duty.

The two uncles are both old rivers and lakes, and they understand the truth.

I'm afraid that Cousin Xiang is young and vigorous, and the road is uneven, and he will cause trouble. The uncles told Cousin Xiang and preached repeatedly.

Cousin Xiang was impatient, and he secretly asked April, "Do I look so unreliable?" ”

Cousin Juan'er complained: "You forgot about the fight and injured people? It took a lot of money to settle things out. ”

Cousin Xiang was a little unconvinced, "I fought for a reason." ”

April said unhurriedly: "Cousin Xiang, we have opened a store in the county seat, I won't hide it from you, I am looking for the relationship of the Lu family." Lu said that he couldn't cause trouble. Otherwise, we don't want to take advantage of the Lu family.

You know the tofu shop of Yuan Siye's house, it's on the next street. They had to pay money to the yamen regularly to buy peace. The county town is not big, but the water is deep, and I don't want anything to happen to you. ”

Cousin Xiang scratched his head, "If others don't mess with me, I definitely won't provoke others." ”

"You stay in the kitchen and don't go anywhere." Cousin Juan'er is very tough, has learned the craft, and her temper has become two percent.

Cousin Xiang complained about her, "You are so fierce, beware that you can't get married." ”

Cousin Juan'er picked up the rolling pin and hit Cousin Xiang. My sister should beat my brother as soon as possible.

On the seventh day of the first month, it is advisable to open.

Xihe noodle soup shop opened.

The layout of the front store and the back yard, before dawn, everyone gets up to prepare. Even the little okra got up and was busy carrying firewood.

Turn on the heat and boil the bone broth.

April kneaded dough with Cousin Juan'er and Cousin Xiang.

Uncles and aunts were busy cleaning the storefront, setting up tables, chairs and benches, ready to welcome the first wave of customers.

The store is small, with only four tables and chairs. Four more were placed outside the door.

In April, he baked bread and sent it to his neighbors to make a good connection.

When the sky was slightly bright, a vendor who had carried a burden into the city to set up a stall passed by, smelled the rich smell of bone broth, and was hungry, so he decided to eat breakfast first and then go to the stall.

"Boss, how do you sell a bowl of noodles?"

"Ten dollars for a big bowl and eight dollars for a small bowl. Both have two slices of lamb. If you don't think the lamb is enough, you can add more. Add 15 cents for a separate serving of mutton. ”

"A big bowl. You still sell bread, huh? ”

"Baked bread has two flavors, salty and sweet, two pennies a piece. Do you want to come to one, it's full. ”

"Okay, let's have a sweet one."

"Okay, wait a minute." The second uncle greeted the guests and was familiar with it.

The large bowl of noodle soup is on the table, which is the craftsmanship of Juan'er's cousin.

Cousin Juan'er looked nervous and hid in the kitchen door to peek, just to see how the guests reacted.

What if it's not tasty......

April shook his head and smiled, not bothering to appease. This is the stage that must be passed.

The guests ate the cake in one bite, ate the noodle soup in one bite, and looked very satisfied.

The eldest uncle took the opportunity to step forward and ask, "Guest officer, how does it taste?" ”

"Not bad. Your noodle soup is delicious, and it is better than several other restaurants in the county. How haven't I seen it before. ”

"We are new and today is the first day of opening. The guest officer was our first guest. ”

"Hahaha...... What a coincidence. Boss, check out. ”

"Ten pennies for sincerity."

"Oh, no. A large bowl of noodles with a cake should be 12 cents. ”

"The guest officer is the first guest, and the cake is considered to be delivered."

"The owner was gracious. I wish you a prosperous business and a prosperous start. ”

"Thank you for your good words."

With the first guest, there is a second ......

Eight tables were served all morning, and the kitchen never stopped.

The two aunts were busy collecting and washing the dishes, and they were so busy that they couldn't straighten their waists.

Finally got through the busy morning rush hour, and everyone couldn't wait to calculate how much money they sold today.

In April, a figure was reported on the spot, "One hundred and twelve bowls of noodle soup were sold, twenty-one were sold for bread, and eleven servings of mutton." ”

"You don't talk about April. Let's count the money by ourselves and have fun. ”

In one morning, it was sold for more than a thousand dollars, and there was a profit of several hundred dollars after deducting the cost.

Rejoice!

So happy!

The fatigue of the morning, in front of a jar of money, all disappeared.

"There is still a wave of business at noon, and you can still make a lot of money. This trade is done. ”

"Well, it does."

"It's all April's work."

April hurriedly said: "I can't do this business alone." It's all the result of everyone's hard work. ”

"Don't be modest in April, most of the rent of the shop is paid by you, and the craft is also taught by you. Even the relationship between the Lu family and the Lu family depends on you. If you take 30% is too little, I think you should take at least 40% of the profit. ”

"When my uncle said this, did he force me to break up the gang? In the future, this store will mainly rely on the two aunts and Juan'er's sister Xiang's cousin. I take 30%, which already feels a bit too much. If I take 40%, I won't do this business. You can't be allowed to exert your strength and have no money to earn. ”

"Your aunt and mother are paid to help here, and Juan'er and Xiangzi are also paid. You take forty percent ......."

"Uncle, stop talking. I said that three achievements are three percent, and I will turn my face if I have more money. ”

April's attitude was resolute, and the eldest uncle could only stop the topic, thinking that he would replenish April elsewhere in the future.

The eldest uncle wants to do white things for others, and there is no way to stay in the county seat for a long time. A few days after opening, it was gone.

The second uncle felt that the county seat was good, so he quit his old job and greeted customers in the store. April is in charge, and he also gets a salary.

"The noodle soup shop is really not good without the second uncle watching. First, the second uncle needs to come forward. The second is that if something happens, the second uncle is well-informed and can hold up the scene. Third, Cousin Xiang also needs to be controlled, and the two uncles also need backbones. The second uncle is the shopkeeper of the noodle soup shop, and as the shopkeeper, of course, he has to get paid. ”

"Okay, it's all up to you. Do you really want to go back? How nice it is to stay in the county. You and Juan'er can squeeze in, and you can stay. ”

"It's getting cold, and I have to go back to work," April said. I still owe a deal on the Lu family's side, and I need to pay it off as soon as possible. ”

"Although you are young, you are more assertive than adults. Since you have decided to go back, I will not stop you. I'll ask Shoko to send you back. ”

"No need. The noodle soup shop is inseparable from Cousin Xiang. I agreed with the four masters and took their car back. Second uncle, rest assured, I will come to the noodle soup shop every month in the future. ”

"I wish you had stayed and not gone back."
