CH.47 Making Money Is Imminent
Although the money bag was deflated, Qin Xiangxiang still gritted his teeth and spent a lot of money to buy a wheelbarrow.
If you open a foot shop, you will inevitably have to buy a lot of ingredients in the future, and your family is old and disabled, and it is always good to buy a car.
Qin Xiangxiang and Red Sleeves were pushing the cart and walking in the waterwheel alley, when the curtain of the foot shop she had visited before was lifted and the lady walked out of the shop.
The shopkeeper was holding a spatula and looked at Qin Xiangxiang with an unfriendly gaze. In the past few days, Qin Xiangxiang has been moving all kinds of things to the foot shop, and everyone can guess that this is the rhythm of opening a restaurant.
"Yo, what's the little lady's surname? This neighbor brought the waterwheel alley, and did not say a word, so that we could go and help. ”
The shopkeeper said loudly.
Qin Xiangxiang smiled slightly: "Sister-in-law has a heart." My sister's surname is Qin, and she moved to the waterwheel alley, and the family has enough manpower, so she won't bother her sister-in-law. ”
The shopkeeper chased after her: "Sister Qin, this is it, and you want to open a foot shop?" However, don't blame your sister-in-law for not reminding you, you are an unmarried little lady, and it is not easy to support a foot shop. ”
Qin Xiangxiang still smiled: "Then thank you sister-in-law for reminding me." ”
As she spoke, she walked away generously without pausing.
The shopkeeper snorted, glanced left and right, and flashed back into the store.
Her husband took a fly swatter and said, "What do you say you are doing so much?" As long as you have stayed in the waterwheel alley for a while, you can save yourself from cooking in the watermill alley, which is not comparable to other places. Not to mention whether she can support it, this poll tax alone discourages her. ”
That is, his family's foot shop is ancestral, and he doesn't know what to do to make a living in other places, although he is overcharged with poll tax, but with old customers, he can barely support it.
The shopkeeper said: "Don't you see, the little lady has never been married, she is dressed up in a fancy way, I don't know whether to open a foot shop or a brothel." Also, there is a little lady next to her, who is even better-looking. ”
The shopkeeper immediately jumped up: "Why didn't you tell me to show it?" ”
The shopkeeper was immediately annoyed, and took the pot and spoon to beat her husband: "I'll save it, you men don't have a good thing!" ”
Qin Xiangxiang didn't know that others were starting to make trouble for her. She said that there was a plaque, but when she came back, there was no ladder in the store, and the only two men in the family who could use it were old and dizzy, gray-haired, and maybe they would climb up and fall down.
She thought about it, and from the silk and green cloth that Zhong gave her to dowry, she cut a section of the red sleeves and made it into a flag. He also asked Tian Xiang to study ink and prepare to write his own signboard.
Since the eldest lady came back from elementary school, Tian Xiang has never heard of the eldest lady learning words. Seeing that Qin wanted to prepare for ink, Tian Xiang was a little anxious: "Big lady, why don't you let Sister Red-sleeved write it." ”
Red Sleeves was also a little apprehensive, this morning, the eldest lady sent food to Mu Langjun, and the small note written by herself, the handwriting was indeed unsightly.
Qin didn't think about it, he didn't look at the fragrance, he waved his ink, and wrote the words "Qin's restaurant" on the satin.
Redsleeves was taken aback. Tian Xiang was even more surprised. When did the eldest lady learn such calligraphy? It looks no worse than the master's.
Qin Xiangxiang put down his pen and said with a smile: "I have wanted to open a restaurant since I was a child, and I have practiced these four words for many years. ”
The second maid suddenly, so it was. If you practice these four characters every day, you will definitely not be worse than some calligraphers. But the eldest lady has wanted to open a restaurant since she was a child, and this ideal is too weird. The eldest lady can barely be among the ranks of noble girls, at least she should be planning how to marry a good man with a good family background and a promising future.
Qin thought about it and said, "Red sleeves, I'll bother you to write the menu." She had already prepared the menu and wrote it down on a piece of paper.
Red Sleeves took it and looked at it, and the words on the paper were written differently. She wondered in her heart, but didn't ask Qin to think about it.
In fact, in a foot shop like this, most of the people who come to eat are coolies, generally illiterate, and it doesn't matter if they can't write the menu.
Like the two foot shops she went to before, maybe even the store itself can't recognize all those words.
The red-sleeved block writing was excellent, Tian Xiang gave her a hand, and Qin Xiangxiang sat aside.
Red Sleeves was writing intently, and Tian Xiang quietly shook her hand: "Sister, look." ”
Red Sleeves looked over and saw that her eldest lady was closing her eyes, her brain was dozing off little by little. The eldest lady had already looked malnourished, and her face seemed to have lost a lot of weight in the past few days, although her face was smeared with powder and lipstick, she still couldn't hide the black and haggard under her eyes.
Red Sleeves put his fingers on his lips, asking Tian Xiang not to make Qin think about it.
The two of them quietly continued to write the menu, and Qin Xiangxiang continued to doze off on the side.
"Big lady, big lady! Siping has a high fever! Before Mrs. Wang showed up, her voice arrived in a panic.
Qin Xiangxiang woke up suddenly, and was a little dazed the moment he opened his eyes.
Mrs. Wang had already arrived in front of her, with a panicked face.
Red Sleeves reprimanded: "Mother Wang, what are you doing, didn't the medical worker already instruct you last night, if you have a high fever, just grab the medicine according to the prescription." ”
Mrs. Wang's expression was sneering: "Isn't the old woman here to find the eldest lady to pay for the medicine?" ”
Qin Xiangxiang handed the money bag to Red Sleeves: "In the future, just look for Red Sleeves." ”
The money bag was deflated, but Mrs. Wang still looked at the red sleeves with envy. It's no wonder that she gave all the money to Qin Xiangxiang in order to save Siping. Now for the sake of money, I have to bow to the red sleeves. She didn't forget that Madame hated the pair of beauties in the master's study so much that she couldn't eat and couldn't sleep at night.
The red sleeves generously opened the money bag, and there was only a silver ticket of ten yuan and a string of copper plates of about fifty yuan left.
Red Sleeves gave fifty wen to Mrs. Wang, and said, "These fifty wen should be enough." ”
Mrs. Wang carried the string of money and left without speaking.
After leaving the foot shop, Mrs. Wang went straight to the medical hall. There is no medical hall in the waterwheel alley, and if you want to go to the medical center, you have to cross the bridge.
As soon as Mrs. Wang got on the bridge, she ran into an acquaintance.
This acquaintance is an inferior matchmaker, named Chen Po, who is also a serious matchmaker, and also does it if he can't be on the table. Last time, Mrs. Wang hooked up with Wu Jiayi, and wanted to marry Qin Xiangxiang to the Ma family, which was the thread she pulled.
Chen Po pulled Mrs. Wang and didn't let go: "Sister Wang, the marriage of your eldest lady is now settled?" ”
Mrs. Wang's heart moved.
The eldest lady is whimsical and wants to open a restaurant, but she disdains. What follows her to have broth to eat, this sentence is not too cold! She has followed her wife all these years, and she has eaten a lot of good things. Maybe the big lady hasn't eaten it yet.
Making money is imminent.
Qin Xiangxiang sat for a while, asked Tian Xiang to take care of Siping, and he and Red Sleeves began to roll up their sleeves and work.
As soon as it opened, the stall couldn't be too big, so the Qin family restaurant made flat food first. Not to mention anything else, even she is very satisfied with the flat food she makes.
Flat food is a food that is suitable for both breakfast and dinner.
The Qin family's restaurant is going to sell some of the flat food tonight.
Qin Xiangxiang was cutting all kinds of Ding in full swing, and Uncle Hai stretched out his head and came in: "Big lady, there is a Lang Jun who wants to see you." ”
"What do you want to see? I reluctantly came to see her! Liao Haohai's voice sounded outside.
This guest is really quite arrogant.
Qin Xiangxiang put down the knife and greeted him out: "Liao Pingshi." ”
Liao Haohai frowned, looking at Qin with great dissatisfaction, "How did you get driven to this kind of ...... Where is the place coming? What happened to the Qin family? How come even the house has been mortgaged? If it's Wanwan...... The second lady came back, how can she get used to it? ”
Qin wanted to take a look at the cleaned foot shop, although it was a little old, it was very good.
"What does Liao mean that the sister will be back soon?"
