In Xujia Restaurant, the cash register counter is deliberately separated from the dining table inside, so as not to make guests uncomfortable chatting.

A bamboo screen is also erected between the two, on the one hand, to prevent the cold air from opening the door back and forth, and on the other hand, to prevent leakage of money to the door.

However, the movable bamboo screen was improved by Xu Lao Er at the suggestion of Mrs. Xu.

There are a few hooks on the screen of their house, which can hang the indigo grass and two clothes, so that Mrs. Xu can use it as a hanger.

At this time, Mrs. Xu was sitting at the counter, and there was a painting of Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, on the yellow mud wall behind her.

While listening to the chatter, she flipped through the small notebook in front of her.

Mrs. Xu heard the guests boasting, no wonder the price is expensive, the meat of the fish is delicate and tender, and the sauce is stewed very fragrant, I don't know how to steam.

The shopkeeper nodded in recognition of his companion's words, the fish is really good.

The chapter shopkeeper belongs to the character of not comparing the price if you buy it, and you won't regret it if you eat it.

Not to mention spending money on food, he has cooperated with people for many years, and he often encounters situations where he must be divided for a long time and divided for a long time.

Years of experience have taught him that even if he is half-red-faced, he should not denigrate the character of the end. Because maybe one day we will cooperate again for the sake of profit.

People, walking in the rivers and lakes, are driven by interests, and there are no absolute enemies and friends.

So when he didn't hear Mrs. Xu introduce the situation of these fish, he heard that a table was eleven, two, or six, and to be honest, he didn't take this table seriously. If you spend your money in vain, you will spend it, and you don't plan to regret it.

He is a native of the capital, and he has eaten too many good things, and he has spent many times more silver than this table, saying how delicious it is, but it turns out that there is not much delicious food to entertain guests.

In the eyes of the shopkeeper Zhang, some of the money is not spent for the dish itself.

For example, this time, he thought more about making a local friend, and the other party knew the officers and generals above the fifth rank in the Zhenbei Army, and also informed him in advance of the news that made it much more convenient. For these, too, recognize.

After all, cats have a cat path, and rats have a mouse path.

There are many local friends, and maybe one day there will be unexpected harvests. For example, to help you avoid disasters, or to help you travel conveniently, as a businessman, you can save a lot of money with less trouble and less tossing, which is definitely greater than the value of food.

Especially in the future, if nothing else, in order to save transportation costs in the mutual market, their semicolon may be opened here. This time, he came with the task given by the owner, mainly to explore the tone above, and by the way, to investigate the local area, and then choose the semicolon position.

The shopkeeper can think about it, he is the first merchant to come, the first one, and there is mutual goodwill between him and Erdaohe, and he will always be impressed. One more friend and multiple roads, just use dozens of taels to make friends with the Xu family.

But I didn't expect that this Erdaohe is really unusual, all the things sold, absolutely let your money be spent clearly, and even the thatched houses are built very decently, unlike other shops, saying that the preparation is not complete, just deal with it.

It's the turn of Erdao River, like this fish, Xu Jiawa Wow La, I have to tell you clearly, expensive, that is the most expensive fish you have eaten here, the most expensive understand what it means, some fishermen may have fished this precious fish in their lives, and there are fish that used to be tribute. You eat the same as the emperor of the previous dynasty, isn't it awesome.

Therefore, Shopkeeper Zhang didn't take the banquet money seriously, but after being explained by Mrs. Xu like this, he felt more comfortable.

After all, it's still good not to be wronged, Erdaohe really didn't bluff people.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, and then the shopkeeper Zhang felt that the braised stewed fish in the pot was really fragrant.

Sitting on a stool on the hot kang, he sweated from eating the fish.

may have changed seats, Mrs. Xu heard someone inside Zhang Luo say:

"Come on, come on, you taste my pot, which is thicker and fatter than your pot, and when you pick it up with chopsticks, it's fish roe and fat fish oil."

"It's fragrant, even the tofu and vermicelli stewed in the pot with rice are delicious, but it's a little salty."

After Mrs. Xu heard it, she remembered it in her heart and wanted to have less sauce next time

Material.

Let Si'er's brain also be active, the number of catties of fish is different, and it is also divided into stews of big fish and small fish, don't pour as much sauce as you want.

And there was another man inside, saying,

"What's this name? It is fried until it is golden and crispy, and when you bite into it, it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a sweet and sour taste." Look at the book

"I heard from the shopkeeper that it seems to be called a pot bun, that's what she called it. This piece of pork is also fried crispy and salty, and the starch here seems to be better than ours. Don't you think?"

Mrs. Xu didn't know if she had said it to her on purpose, but the voice of the guest inside raised slightly: "It's not a matter of powder, it's that the craftsmanship is really unusual." Just one table of dishes, we have four dishes that we have never seen. Can have this kind of craft, think about it...... It's a pity, this is definitely ancestral, and you should really go to the capital to open a restaurant. We know best in the capital, and all the rich people are there, and we are the most willing to eat."

Only then did Mrs. Xu know that this group of tea merchants who transported Maofeng tea and Taiping Houkui, as Hui merchants, did not set off from their hometown, but set off from the Beijing General Number to hire goods and hire darts bureaus.

No wonder there is a Huizhou accent in it, and there are many young men who speak official language. also said that Zhang's shopkeeper is from the capital.

Also, starting from the tea fields in Huizhou, it takes at least three months to transport, and it takes more than a month to arrive from the capital.

Moreover, I heard that this batch of tea was sold to foreign nobles.

Tea is also divided into grades, and they belong to the better ones.

There is also a batch of tea merchants with green brick tea who are not in place, which is the task given by the imperial court to the Jingzhou merchants, that is, the kind of tea that is pressed into bricks.

Like Zhang's shopkeeper and their tea, Mrs. Xu guessed that it might be three catties and two catties to change a horse? Alas, I don't know what my family can exchange for a horse.

Ever since her granddaughter saw the female general riding a horse, she has been thinking about it, don't think she can't see it.

Although she thinks that her granddaughter has a hard time going to the kang, what kind of horse to ride. But since the child has mentioned that he wants a BMW, whether he can ride it is one thing, and whether he can fulfill the child's dream is another matter.

The door opened, and Liu Laozhu came in with a jar of wine.

Mrs. Xu raised her chin at him and let him in, she was a little tired today, and she couldn't walk if she could.

Through the screen, Mrs. Xu heard Liu Laozhu fooling the guests: "If you say that you still include wine, then you must have it." Drink it, didn't you say that three cups of wine are thousands of miles of red dust, and a pot of tea for a thousand years? You can't just drink tea, what else do you need...... What's going on?" Shouted outside.

Mrs. Xu was speechless.

Liu Laozhu doesn't know when he added a new problem, and he loves to remember her quotations.

I still have a bad brain, so I can only remember half of it.

had to rush inside, leaned over with a smile and shouted:

"Tea is a fine tasting, a slow talk, and a bunch of tea drinking plans how to make a lot of money, so people call it a great cause.

Wine is a big talk, it is bold, after drinking too much, we look forward to it together, and then sigh and sigh the sadness that is not easy along the way.

The wind is surging, the rivers and lakes are happy, which one is not allowed to drink? Therefore, we are all laymen in the red dust.

Besides, today is the most relaxed time for you, the last journey, you don't dare to breathe a sigh of relief when you come, and you can't sleep well with a silver ticket on the return trip.

Today, at this very moment, the wine has also been delivered, drink!"

Liu Laozhu first admired it in his heart!

Is it true that the master can speak in the vernacular, and there will be no bottleneck period?

He also sighed with Guan Erbald outside just now, saying that in order to sell, they are thinking about words at dinner these days. has improved a lot, in the past, they would, a group of gentlemen smoke dry tobacco, mention the farmland for a long time, two girls two glasses of wine, chatting about the gentlemen scolding for half a night.

Of course, I also want to thank the days when I traveled all over the villages as a merchant, and my mouth was practiced at that time.

Liu Laozhu smiled, "Did you hear that? That's right, if the goods are placed here and you don't feel at ease to drink, then there is no time to worry, drink, look at our wine here, it's not a little green wine."

Anyway, you can't drink much, the degree is very high, and you will be confused after two glasses.

The chapter shopkeeper saw the clear

The cool liquor, scratching in his heart, whispered to Liu Laozhu: "It is indeed the most relaxed today, and the reason is also the same, but we can't drink it, right?" I'm drugged."

"Don't listen to Lang Zhong, it's not bad for this meal, taste it."

Liu Laozhu is a salesman, he buys it back, warms up his body on the way, and one bite can make you blush from your neck to your face.

Shopkeeper Zhang is also a drinker, otherwise how could he just persuade him to pick up the wine glass.

He also felt that Aunt Xu persuaded him every word, and he didn't dare to drink it when he brought back the silver ticket on the last trip.

So after a while, it changed from tasting to not drinking, not drinking, and drinking, and drinking more.

There was a loud conversation in the restaurant, and the gang fell into the red dust.

Mrs. Xu also heard a lot of gossip from the mouths of a group of people in Beijing.

Said that today is sixty-eight, and a new favorite sixteen-year-old rose to the concubine position, before the caravan was about to leave, they saw with their own eyes that the new favorite concubine went back to her mother's house, and the concubine's frame was made of jade, saying that it cost more than 200,000 taels.

Because of this, the caravan unloaded again, and it was all blocked there, and it was two days late.

It doesn't matter if the business in the capital has goods and leaves late, the city gate is closed for a few days, and the people who are blocked outside can't get in and out, and there are a lot of expenses inexplicably.

Fortunately, in this mutual market, the prince set out from the actual situation, knowing that the distance was too far and the transportation was too expensive, and the Lord of the Ministry of Household also fought to exempt all the participating businesses from taxes, so that the proprietor could make money.

Otherwise, this trip will be in vain without all the expenses and wages. There is no way, Shinong industry and commerce, the status of merchants is low, if something happens to the dynasty, the major business names and ticket numbers will be sacrificed first, whether you have profits or not, you think that the whole world is not the king's land, it should be your obligation. Even if he fought for tax exemption, he heard that the prince offended Imajo and was sent to guard the imperial mausoleum.

Mrs. Xu frowned when she heard this. What kind of emperor is this, hundreds of thousands of silver for the concubine to ride, and there is no money for the people to fight the disaster.

The door opened again, and Yu Qinniang and her daughter-in-law Xiaoyun came in with sticky bean buns on the table.

Shopkeeper Zhang laughed, and deliberately leaned over and called Mrs. Xu who was sitting at the counter: "Auntie, why is there still one? I can't eat it."

"Not much, it's also unique to our family, the sticky bean buns fried for you are sticky and delicious, dipped in sugar, soft and oily."

When Yu Qinniang came out, Mrs. Xu told again, "Slow down a pot of frozen pears, I see that they have almost drunk it, and they will eat it in a while." Then he asked, "Where is Tian Xin?"

"I went to the bathhouse to deliver medicine, and I heard that there were more than 20 boxes sold inside. There was a little brother who intercepted her, and I saw that the third brother was just about to go over and ask what he was doing, and we heard Tian Xin say to the little brother, there is no sale, and I don't know what it is, it seems that there is nothing."

Yu Qinniang smiled and wiped her hands with her apron and asked, "Mother, haven't we earned Tian Xin again?"

"I can beat her, alas."

Mrs. Xu finished closing the account, and one table would earn four and a half taels after removing all the costs, and a total of six tables would be enough to choke twenty-seven taels. On the bathroom side, she was even more busy, she and the Liu family were divided, and the family was only divided into fourteen taels. The rest has to be paid for the boiler rubbing and massage, and she also has to give her granddaughter two taels of toiletries.

Coupled with the fact that the inventory house is rented out for three taels, and the mules are fed for one tael, her family can live in a chase shop for one hundred and twenty people tonight, ten cents per person, and one tael of silver.

Less than fifty taels of silver, the initial investment of the family to open a store, the bedding and the bathhouse wipe the body and a lot of money, the capital has not yet returned.

It takes another batch of businesses to start turning over.

When the two were talking, Xu Tianxin, who was very good at making money and had no pressure, finally came back.

"Milk, are you going to ask me to stay up late tonight with you, or will you come early tomorrow to help?"

Mrs. Xu waved her hand to her daughter-in-law to let her go out to freeze the pears, and when she heard this, she grabbed her granddaughter's little hand and said, "It depends on whether you want to eat barbecue tonight or want to eat fritters tomorrow morning."

If you want to eat barbecue tonight, then stay up late here with her, just when the meat has melted, and grill some pork belly for her granddaughter. If you come to eat fritters tomorrow morning, go back to sleep.

Xu Tianxin smiled and said, "I'd better go home, I just settled all the wages at home, milk,

If they don't add food, you should come back early."

"Wait a while, let your third uncle drive back with you, and let him go to Xishan Town tomorrow to pick up the porcelain bottle, is there no bottle to load?"

"Can you be busy tomorrow? Let's ask someone to deliver a letter to Xishan Town."

"He can earn a few big sons by frying chestnuts, and some of the people in the family are workers, and we can't earn you. Slow delivery of letters."

Mrs. Xu came to the door and specially told Mrs. Xu: "Go to bed early tonight, and go out again tomorrow." You go out alone, and there is no fourth child to follow. Our family is already piercing, don't show your wealth."

Xu Youcang looked puzzled: "...... Mother, you should tell me not to sin when you go out, no matter how poor you are, are you saying the opposite?"

"You stinky boy!"

"Mother, when are you going back?"

"In another hour and a half, I will be with your second sister-in-law, you will fill the table with your aunt, and they will go back with the second bald man, leaving your second brother and the fourth brother to be here for the night."

At the same time, the masters in the bathhouse also knew that Xu Tianxin, who made a lot of money, was off work.

No, while the masters were cleaning up the bathroom and preparing to welcome the third wave of bathing guests, they discussed, "I'm afraid I'll have to earn another fifty or sixty taels, right? Alas, don't compare yourself with that girl, Guan Er's bald man has a good relationship with her, and she has made no less money today. We can't do it, even if we dig out more than 50 pieces of ancestral graves and go to the Xu family to work together, we won't be able to earn it."

"It's not a question of earning it now. I came to work in the bath, and I earned money to eat enough, but now I don't make much money, and I don't have time to eat, so it doesn't matter......

In the middle of the night, Mrs. Xu was so tired that she forgot to turn off the live broadcast, and she felt that her granddaughter suddenly sat up when she had just arrived home and lay down for more than half an hour.

Rubbing his eyes, he said, "Milk, it looks like another wave of guests."

Sure enough, after a while, Liu Laozhu rushed to the plow to knock on the door.

What the hell, I can't live anymore.

Guan Erbald also hurriedly came over with his clothes on, and asked Xu Tianxin medicine that he was going to the bathhouse to sell medicine. In the middle of the night, there is a designated cold that can't stand it and wants to take a bath.

Xu Tianxin heard that it is a pen inkstone business from Luzhou, with a pen to prosper, with a pen to cast the soul, Laizhou brush, calligraphy and painting masters, Qilu pen inkstone.

She waved her hand: "Grandpa Guan, it's okay for the two of us tonight, sleep well." There are no bottles or cans anyway."

Why?

Because of the east, west, north, south, and middle, the good stomach is in Luzhou. The vegetable province has a good mouthful of good food, and there are few hemorrhoids, and it is said that the beans bless the people of that province.

As a modern proctologist, he has written a song for the national hemorrhoid ranking.

When Xu Tianxin lay down again, he always felt that something was negligent.

What's going on?

Yes, it's very dry overseas, and she can also sell goods abroad, selling the ancient version of Kaiserlu.
