Chapter 043: Business is booming

Half a month later, Li Kui came to the county seat of Yishui County again.

Different from the last time, this time Baizhang Village finally has a place to settle down in Yishui County - Dalang Roasted Goods Shop!

The shop is not large, but the business is surprisingly good, and you can sell a large bag of freshly baked sugar-fried chestnuts for ten kaiping (a type of money), the intoxicating caramel flavor, the sweeter texture when the water is squeezed dry, and the soft and glutinous chestnut flavor with hard but just the right benefits, which makes people want to stop. Of course, it can't be called fried chestnuts with sugar, it can only be said to be Dalang chestnuts.

The recipe for stir-fried chestnuts in sugar is so simple that just saying a name can reveal all the recipes.

When Li Kui entered the store, he saw that his seventh uncle Li Hong was also helping, and Li Dalang was not as depressed as a lost dog at all, and the panic and uneasiness in his eyes disappeared.

On the contrary, there is a weirdness and confidence that makes people say no.

"Second child, I hit someone!"

Li Dalang chattered and pulled Li Kui into the backyard, entered the courtyard, and excitedly invited Li Kui to give credit when there was no one around.

Li Kui looked dazed, this ...... Li Dalang doesn't seem to be quite right, he is excited as if he is in love, is it possible?

"Who did you hit?"

"Wang Fu's two fox friends and dogs, I beat them all." Da Lang gestured with the soles of his shoes to pump people, and his pride was overflowing.

Li Dalang has a kind of nervousness and excitement after doing something big for the first time in his life, which is of great benefit to restoring self-confidence, but this thing doesn't think that he has won all his dignity by smoking someone, right? I don't know, I think he killed people in the street. No, Li Kui had to talk to him and said, "You blocked them in the county town and then pumped them?" ”

Li Dalang's big face of joy immediately collapsed, and he said in frustration: "How is it possible, it's when the fifth and seventh uncles are here...... That day, I happened to meet Wang Fu and his two fox friends Dog came out of the county town drinking, this dog thing dared to humiliate me, brother, you also know that I don't know like scoundrels on weekdays......"

What he said is very much in line with Li Dalang's style of doing things. raised his moral connotation, and at the same time covered up his cowardly attributes.

"It just so happened that Uncle Seven was there, and he helped restrain the two of them, and then asked me to smoke them. How dare I! I was almost beaten by Uncle Seven, but I couldn't hide from it, so I slapped their faces with the soles of my shoes. I didn't expect that it would be so comfortable to pump people, it's been half a month, and I think the gangsters in the city are afraid of me now, and they don't dare to make trouble after opening the store! ”

Li Kui covered his face, he really wanted to remind Li Dalang that blind confidence would kill people. Today's Li Dalang is full of self-confidence, and there is a kind of stupidity that blindly thinks that he can walk the rivers and lakes and win the title of hero.

The gangsters didn't dare to come to make trouble, first, this house was originally for the inspection of Han Dahu, and the inspection was the nemesis of the gangsters, so they didn't dare to provoke Han Dahu.

Secondly, Li Hong and others are in the store, who dares to make trouble?

These two often walk swaggering in the streets and alleys of the county town with knives on their shoulders, and no one cares about them anyway. As soon as I heard that it was the people of Baizhang Village, even the people in the yamen began to be afraid, where would they touch this moldy head? Since the two brothers, Li Kui and Li Quan, tortured the tigers to death with their bare hands, carrying the murderous name of Baizhang Village in Yishui County has reached the point where passers-by are well known.

Li Kui didn't want to continue to dwell on this issue, his original plan was to sit on Wang Fu's culpability, stealing, committing suicide cattle, selling beef privately, and a series of crimes, and then waiting for the county government to sentence Wang Fu for his guilt.

According to the urine nature of the law of the Great Song Dynasty, officials are the most unsightly scoundrels who corrupt the local prestige, and Wang Fu will most likely be distributed.

Whatever place you are, after three or five years of being a prisoner, isn't it normal that you can't come back?

Li Kui thinks it's normal!

He and Seventh Uncle Li Lin are similar in some values, or the people of Baizhang Village, except for Li Dalang, are all a urine. Murder is a crime, but if you are away from home, there is a little accident on the road...... This is God doesn't want to keep him!

Well, Li Kui feels that he is not a good person, and he doesn't want to be a villain, if someone bullies him, he is not afraid of things.

Li Kui didn't bother about this matter anymore, anyway, Wang Fu was just a small person, and it was not worth it to file a lawsuit for this person, so he asked casually: "How is the business in the store?" ”

"Great!" Speaking of business, Li Dalang immediately radiated again: "Brother, you don't know, this chestnut tastes much better than boiling and steaming." At first, I was worried that if business was not good, how would the famine be filled. When it opened on the first day, none of the onlookers came forward to buy it, and they were still worried. ”

So my brother came up with the idea of trying it for free, but I could only lose money first, and if I had to make money in the future, I could come back. I didn't expect the effect to be surprisingly good, and at least more than half of the people who ate it bought some back. The next day, my brother saw a lot of children who had tasted the taste, thinking that they didn't have ten cents, didn't they even have a penny? ”

"There are more than 30 small chestnuts in a pound, and I want to make more money is a penny, so I sell three chestnuts for a penny...... Then I thought of a wine shop for my brother, and chestnuts with wine are also a good choice. I'm going to try it out at the tavern on a certain day. But now the business in the county has reached its peak, and I want to discuss with my brother to open a store in other counties. Nowadays, the profit in the store is at least as much as the same in one day, and in just one month, you can prepare another store. ”

Li Kui didn't want everyone Li Dalang, but he still couldn't help but say: "Have you thought about it, chestnuts are ripe in winter and can only be sold for three or four months?" ”

"Ahh How can this be, hateful! What should I do? Li Dalang returned to the panic again, this is not Li Kui deliberately bullying him, but he is used to hitting Li Dalang, don't ask why, even he can't say clearly.

Li Kui is a little unable to see through, this Li Dalang is a little timid, but he is quite talented in business, how can this product be mixed up to be a dealer for others, and he can't even fill his belly?

If you really want this spirit, why would you go earlier?

Is there a lack of capital?

Or is it because of the lack of secret recipes?

Li Kui thinks it's not, it should be a change. From a hired tenant to a businessman, although he is a small businessman, what has happened to Li Dalang is a earth-shaking change from head to toe. He became more confident and even began to think about how to expand production. This is definitely not something that can be taught, and he can only helplessly attribute it to the fact that this is the business gene in the bones of the Great Song Dynasty.

The next day, he was ready, this was the day he went to the county government to accept the county order Zhou Yuan to take the school examination.

Even if he memorized all the articles that Zhou Yuan asked him to do, he couldn't help but be a little worried. Before going out, Li Dalang wanted to follow Li Kui to the county office, but was sent away by Li Kui.

Wouldn't it be a shame if the topic was too difficult, or if there was no intention of taking him as an apprentice?

Can he break the invincible golden body in front of Li Dalang's cowardice?

"The tiger skin was sent by the inspection master the day before yesterday, and it was in the package."

"Brother, don't you really need to bring gifts from your apprentice such as gizzard meat and jujubes?"

……

Li Kui ignored Li Dalang, waved his hand and walked in the direction of the county office.
