Chen Xiao took the silver and went to Nanmen Street.

Under the "South Gate" archway, on both sides of the street, there are many vegetable sellers, meat sellers, and miscellaneous things, which is a roadside farmers' market.

Chen Xiao asked the price, the pork is cheap 80 wen a catty, and the expensive is more than 100 wen a catty, it depends on which part of the pork you want to buy.

As for the vegetables, more than half of them were unrecognizable to Chen Xiao, and they felt like wild vegetables picked on the side of the road, or roots dug out of the soil. But the price is also very cheap, a few or a dozen yuan.

When Chen Xiao saw that the chickens were sold, they were all about selling. The size is different, some ask for 300 Wen, and some ask 400 Wen. Looking at the weight of the chicken, it is roughly equivalent to a pound of 100 yuan.

In addition, there are also those who sell hemp rope, bamboo, and hoe handles......

Someone sold a kind of branch wrapped in white flocculent, Chen Xiao didn't know what it was, and after watching it for a long time, he heard that it was insect wax.

After looking around, Chen Xiao planned to buy some pork.

The white snake said that if you don't want to eat braised chicken, then eat braised pork.

Chen Xiao came to the meat stall and asked for ten catties of pork belly. She was about to pay the money when suddenly a familiar voice sounded behind her ears.

"Why do you buy so much jerky?"

Chen Xiao turned around, it was Fang Yu.

He was dressed in an azure robe, and his hair was smooth and tied up to the top of his head, tied up in a bun. This looks like a handsome scholar.

It's just that...... His slightly swollen right cheek looked like he had been slapped and swollen.

Seeing her staring at her face, Fang Yu touched half of her face and said:

"Toothache. It hurt so much that my face was swollen. ”

I don't know what I ate last night, but he didn't sleep well because of his toothache in the second half of the night. After getting up this morning, he found that Chen Xiao was not there and asked Aunt Shen. The eldest lady said that she had gone to Nanmen Street, so he came to find her.

Chen Xiaodao: "It just so happens that there are wild vegetables selling over there." Buy some cool wild vegetables, you eat more. ”

The stall owner looked for Chen Xiaoqian, Fang Yu saw the silver in her hand and asked:

"Where did you get the money?"

"Picked it up."

"Picked up?" It would be strange if he believed.

Chen Xiao smiled and didn't explain.

Fang Yu helped her carry the meat, and the two went to buy wild vegetables.

Chen Xiao was going to buy meat secretly and quietly bring it into the space, but he didn't expect to be bumped into by Fang Yu.

When she was seen, it was difficult for her to take it into the space, but there was so much meat...... After thinking about it, Chen Xiao decided to marinate it.

The two inquired and found the pharmacy, where grass fruit, star anise, cinnamon, licorice, angelica, cloves, etc., were sold in the pharmacy.

Fang Yu was puzzled and asked, "Is this for me to catch medicine?" ”

In fact, he knew about medicinal herbs, and knew that these herbs had nothing to do with his toothache, but he didn't know what he bought them for.

"You want more! Buy it back and cook it. ”

"Cooking?"

Chen Xiao bought other condiments along the way, and the two returned to Aunt Shen's house.

She borrowed the kitchen from Wenxiu, and then began to blanch and marinate the meat. Fang Yu helped her light the fire.

"It smells so good!"

Wenxiu walked into the kitchen and said:

"Miss Chen, how do you do this, can you teach me?"

"Yes."

Chen Xiao talked about the condiments and production methods required for braised pork.

Wenxiu deserves to cook a lot, and when he heard it, he understood most of it, and said:

"With this recipe, we can use another shop in our house."

Chen Xiao heard "utilization" and asked:

"What did that shop do before?"

"Open a restaurant. His family's business was not good, and he left when the rent expired. The pots and pans are still in there. ”

"How much does that shop rent a year?"

Chen Xiao likes to inquire about the market, because she doesn't know much about the society in this era.

"One hundred and eighty taels. In the back yard, they were also given two rooms, one for living and one for storage. ”

"Are you really going to open a store?" Chen Xiao asked.

If she really wants to open it, Chen Xiao can teach her more.

"Hehe," Wen Xiu smiled, "It's just talking." There are so many things at home that I can't get busy. ”

She has to be busy with cloth villages and inns, take care of her children, and serve her husband, and she has a lot of things.

Wenxiu's son smelled the fragrance and ran into the kitchen.

"Mother, what are you doing delicious food? I want to eat. ”

"It wasn't my mother who did it, Aunt Chen did it." Wenxiu touched his son's head.

Wenxiu's son's name is Bao'er, he is six years old this year, and he was introduced by Aunt Shen yesterday.

Bao'er smashed her mouth, looking salivating.

He knows that guests often borrow their kitchens to cook. Although the things were made in their pot, they were not theirs, and he could not eat them.

Chen Xiao said to Bao'er: "It's not cooked yet, wait a while, and I'll serve you a big bowl." ”

Wenxiu said to his son: "Did you hear it, I will give it to you when it is cooked, go back and learn calligraphy." ”

Hearing that it was okay to eat, Bao'er was happy and happily went back to the room to learn calligraphy.

Wenxiu sent her son away and went to do things herself.

Fang Yu sat on the edge of the stove hole, heard the conversation between Chen Xiao and Wenxiu just now, and said:

"Why don't we rent their shop?"

"What are you renting for?"

"Open a restaurant! The people take food as their day, and they will eat tomorrow after eating today. ”

Chen Xiao looked at him with the eyes of a fool:

"Do you know the restaurant environment here? Do you know the eating habits of the people here? Do you know the flow of people and spending power in the surrounding area? ”

Fang Yu was a little stunned by her series of questions, but ......, he said:

"The best restaurant here is Ruyi Building, a meal can cost as little as a few taels of silver, and as much as dozens of taels. The snake meat hot pot you made yesterday, Xiao Shi liked it very much; Today's marinated meat, Wenxiu and Bao'er both said that it is fragrant, indicating that they like this taste. ”

"There are not only Nanyue people here, but also Xiling people and Xia people. There are a lot of merchants here, and these people can afford to spend money. ”

Chen Xiao was dumbfounded. That's true.

Fang Yu said again: "Also, one hundred and eighty taels of rent, there is still a place to live in the back." The three of us live here for more than one or two silver a day, isn't it more cost-effective to rent a shop than a guest house? And you can also make money by opening a store. ”

Chen Xiao calculated. That's right! Well said and makes sense.

Fang Yu continued: "Chunhong will be our maid in the future, and if there is anything, just leave it to her. You don't have to do it yourself, you just have to give me some pointers. If the business is not good, she can be busy alone; If the business is good, hire someone else. ”

"Chunhong is our maid?"

"Yes, she said it when she was in the village in the mountains, and she will follow us in the future. She doesn't ask for anything else, she just needs to have a way to live. ”

"We?"

Chen Xiao wants to ask: When did it become "we"?

Fang Yu raised the golden bracelet on his wrist and shook it.

"We are partners!"

To be honest, Chen Xiao was really persuaded by him. If you don't rush anything else, you can pay more than one or two taels of silver a day to the inn, and you can still make money by renting a shop for one hundred and eighty taels a year.

However, I always feel that something is wrong.

Chen Xiao stood by the stove and pondered.

Fang Yu lowered his head and lit the fire, and silently thought in his heart: The guest house is better than renting a shop...... It's better to rent a shop than a guest house......
