0551 Tea Shed
While everyone was talking and laughing, a village woman came over with two bowls of vegetables. Looking at the village woman, she is just an ordinary village woman, but her body is very clean. It won't be unappetizing!
Moreover, these two plates of green vegetables are cold wild vegetables, which look emerald green and very attractive! There are also a few drops of sesame oil on it, which makes people even more appetizing! As for the other plate of fried vegetables, you can see the oil flowers flashing in the vegetable soup, which really surprised a few people!
Before they could speak, another young girl also brought over two more bowls of vegetables. Later, the village woman brought six bowls of rice, which were also filled with large bowls.
Shopkeeper Hu poked the rice with chopsticks and said in surprise, "This is really Jiangnan rice, and it's new rice!"
But at this time, the other few felt that they had no time to deal with him, so they had already picked up their chopsticks and started chewing! Seeing this, Shopkeeper Hu smiled and put a pair of chopsticks and vegetables in his mouth. Although the taste is just ordinary, it is not as delicious as the restaurant, but it also has a unique flavor! So I nodded and picked up my rice bowl and ate slowly.
Shopkeeper Hu didn't do much in the car along the way, and he had eaten snacks in the car, so he wasn't very hungry. He put down his chopsticks after eating a small half bowl of rice, and looked at the other few who felt that they were eating Zhengxiang, so he got up a little bored and went to the empty table next door, and stretched out his hand to greet the villager just now.
When the villagers saw someone greeting him, they hurriedly dropped the rag and walked quickly, and rubbed their hands on their clothes. Shopkeeper Hu asked directly, "What is the name of this shopkeeper?" Is this shop your own?"
Although this person is a villager, since he can open a tea stall on the side of the road, he must be a flexible person. When he saw the demeanor of the shopkeeper Hu, he knew that this was someone he couldn't afford to provoke, so he nodded directly and said, "The villain's surname is Zhang, don't mention the cheap name, so as not to pollute your ears!" As for the shopkeeper, it is even less counted, that is, when he was hoeing the land here, he set up a tea shed in exchange for two salt coins!"
Shopkeeper Hu shook his head and said, "You are dishonest! The delicate ingredients under your small shed, the meals can be cooked, you can't earn a lot of money, and it's easy to feed a few people!"
While he was talking, the shopkeeper Hu had already seen a sturdy young man and a little boy younger than the girl just now, each carrying a bundle of firewood and running directly to the back room, so he pointed directly to the two people and said, "Look, your family is making money around this small shop, and you say that you earn less!"
The villagers hurriedly explained, "That's not the case! Originally, the villain built a grass hut here for the convenience of watching the vegetable field, and saw that there were often passers-by begging for water to drink, so he set up four poles, built a grass shed to sell some tea, and couldn't collect a few pennies a day!"
Shopkeeper Hu said, "Then why do you think about expanding the store? Do you still have a field?"
The villagers also said with a confused face: "The villain doesn't know why, there are a lot of caravans coming and going from here this year, and some people complain that there are too many people at the post station in front of them, and they can't eat!" The little man had the courage to make some of his own meals and take them out, but he couldn't stop it! Only then did I invest some money to hire someone to build three new sheds, and then rebuilt the house to specialize in this business! As for the land, it has been retired!"
When the shopkeeper Hu heard this, he immediately felt a score, which shows that Tianjin's opening of the sea is a success, and a large number of businessmen have poured into Tianjin, which makes the post station on this road difficult to load, so that such a small villager can pick up the cheap in vain!
This made him a little annoyed! He's been in Shanxi for too long, and those old people in Shanxi haven't told him any news! Thinking of this, he reached out and pinched a small piece of broken silver in his purse and placed it on the table and said, "Shopkeeper, tell me the truth, how much money can you collect in a day? As long as you tell the truth, this piece of silver is yours!"
Asking someone about their income has been rude since ancient times, especially for timid villagers! However, he looked at the small piece of broken silver shining on the table and hesitated for a long time, but still said in a low voice: "At most, you can have more than two hundred wen a day, and when you are less, you can have an income of fifty or sixty wen!"
Shopkeeper Hu's eyes almost didn't bulge out when he heard this! What does this mean? This represents a month for this villager
It is very likely that the income will be around three taels of silver! That's a lot of money at the time!
However, he quickly pointed to his table and whispered, "How much does our table cost?"
The villager whispered, "The meal is only 30 wen, plus five cents of forage money, and the tea is delivered!"
Shopkeeper Hu was silent for a long time after listening, he knew that he probably underestimated the situation in Tianjin! You must know that this villager's tea shed is not too far from the post station, so the bulk of the business will definitely fall on the post station. And the big caravan will not choose such a small place to settle, only people like him and small caravans will stay here! Even so, his income can be so high, which shows that the flow of people in Tianjin is really impressive!
Thinking of this, he whispered to the villagers, "From today onwards, no matter who asks you how much money you make, you have to say that you only earn a hard-earned money, not how much you earn!" I really can't hide it, you have to cut it in half! And you must also find a way to come back with another piece of land, indicating that your tea shed is not profitable, do you understand?"
I can think of setting up a tea shed on the side of the road, and I know that the person who upgrades will definitely not be a fool, and I instantly understood the meaning of the shopkeeper! Then his expression immediately became frightened, and his face turned pale! However, he was still grateful for Shopkeeper Hu's reminder and asked him again and again! He didn't even dare to ask for the broken silver that the shopkeeper stuffed into him!
However, Shopkeeper Hu has a lot of money, how can he care about this bit of broken silver, or he is forced into his hand. The reminder of the shopkeeper Hu is not untargeted, but really kind to the villagers to wake up!
A place like this is easy to be targeted by those splashes, if someone estimates how much money he earns, at least someone will take away his livelihood, and if it is serious, he will be tortured where the money he earned before is hidden, and it is not impossible to lose his life!
When he finished eating and returned to the road, the shopkeeper Hu was in no mood to talk and laugh, but tried his best to urge him to hurry as soon as possible. He must see for himself what is going on here in Tianjin.
In the evening, he came to Tianjin City, but he didn't inquire about anything like the others, he felt that some things would only be truly understood if he saw them, and rumors should not be believed!
