Chapter 65: The Little Dumb is Back
When you go out and turn right, you will find cheap restaurants, so the Chase shop is the most popular, and it is full every night.
The second is the number of people, two hundred wen a night, the occupancy rate is not so high. Of the thirty rooms, only about twenty will move in, and basically they are all some particular past merchants, who refuse to crowd the shop with the husbands and sellers, and are willing to spend money to live in a better room.
Moreover, there is a stable in Jiangxuezhai, the management and service of the horses are in place, the quality of forage and bean feed is very good, and it does not charge more, but it is a cost price, which reassures these merchants a lot.
It's just that the catering of the inn is so-so, and there are some regrets.
There is only one customer staying in the local number room for more than a month - Yang Shen, a talented man, who left after living for more than half a month.
Qin Liu now knows his identity, but he is not so anxious to find Yang Shen, although he has a childhood friendship, but after all, time has changed.
She studied with Aunt Ma for several days in a row and provided a set of recipes that can be standardized: shabu-shabu + dumplings + beef noodles.
It is difficult to stir-fry, but she suggested that Aunt Ma only provide four things to choose from, and try to keep improving.
This may improve guest satisfaction and innovation.
Dumplings and beef noodles are prepared for those who are diligent and thrifty, stir-fried dishes are for slightly more discerning customers, and shabu-shabu is a high-profit point.
The meat-cutting process of shabu shabu could not find a suitable person for the time being, so it had to be topped by Aunt Ma herself.
On the side of the new restaurant, almost all of them are currently handed over to the bolt pillar. Aunt Ma promised him that if he did a good job, he would find a way to buy him a piece of land at the end of the year and let him build a house in the future.
The attraction of the land is not great, the attraction of building a house is still quite large, although the bolt pillar is small, but I also know that if there is a new house to marry a daughter-in-law, it will be easier.
He followed the Ma family to have enough food and clothing, but he also worked diligently.
Aunt Ma said that the junior and the fourth have always been very peaceful, and now in the new restaurant, one is responsible for the inner kitchen and the other is responsible for the outer hall, and they have a tacit understanding.
Qin Liu didn't know what the relationship between the third and the fourth little mute was, and she had to ask the little mute when she turned around.
Where did the little mute go?
Qin Liu was a little worried when he thought of this.
If it weren't for accompanying her, the little mute would not have been caught by the Ming army, so his whereabouts are unknown now.
Sister Ma Feng is now following Ma Yue as a helper, and the sanitation acceptance and room cleaning in the inn are all completed by her with the half-grown children.
Sister Ma Feng especially emphasized to the children that their hands and feet should be clean and not to steal customers' property.
The children were convinced of her, a spicy and beautiful girl.
After a busy few days, Qin Liu finally had some leisure.
To be honest, Jiang Xuezhai is a bit like the original Ma Li dumpling shop, which started with her, and the rest of the operation was handed over to the Ma family.
However, the proportion of profits distributed to the Ma family is less.
Qin Liu thought for a while, found Aunt Ma and said, "You are mainly responsible for the catering business in this inn, and the profit is all yours." ”
Aunt Ma was so excited that she burst into tears, but she hurriedly waved her hand: "I can't help it, I can't help it!" This place is yours, and the customers are also the inn's ......"
"But I didn't get involved in the actual work......
Qin Liu thought that in the shares of the inn, the little mute accounted for half, Ma Yue accounted for twenty percent, and he was only thirty percent, and it was not feasible to divide the shares to Aunt Ma.
That's why she considered taking out the catering business alone.
Aunt Ma hesitated for a long time, but still plucked up the courage to say: "Or, the benefits of this catering business are like dumpling shops, let's split them in half?" ”
Qin Liu was stunned, but still agreed.
If the catering business is done well, the profit is not lower than that of the inn.
As for how to do it well, Aunt Ma, who has limited knowledge, naturally has no good ideas, and she has to worry about it.
Aunt Ma was also relieved a lot. She felt that this widow of the Li family was a guiding light, saying what to say and what to do, and with her guidance, she was steady.
How much money is enough?
Now compared with the days when they had the last meal and no next meal two years ago, their Ma family has changed dramatically, she is very content, and she is not greedy.
As for Sister Ma Feng, Qin Liu didn't make any special arrangements for her. Their Ma family is a family, and it should be reasonably distributed by themselves.
After the days were free, Qin Liu put on the new clothes bought by Xuanfu.
This is a set of gauze dress, the top is a light green cross-sleeved shirt, white lining, exquisite workmanship, slightly slim. The lower body is a two-layer gauze skirt, which is a pink-green slightly puffy shape, and the belt is white with a few pearls.
This outfit is crisp and flowy, just right for a hot summer day.
On this morning, Qin Liu was putting on his freshly washed clothes on the clothesline in the yard in his new clothes, but he heard the children's cheers of surprise.
Qin Liu followed the prestige, and at the entrance to the backyard, there was a person who was covered in dirt and had unkempt hair.
The man's eyes were as sharp as a wolf's to look at her.
Qin Liu shouted in surprise like a child: "Little mute! You're back! ”
Qin Liu hurriedly stepped forward and dragged the little mute around to look up and down: "You're not injured, are you?" The shoes on this foot are worn out, and the toes are exposed. I just got you a new pair of shoes......"
The little mute let her pull, the original sharp eyes became gentle and calm, and the whole body seemed to suddenly lose its strength and became soft and lazy.
Seeing this, Qin Liu asked, "Have you eaten?" I'll cook dumplings for you? ”
The little mute nodded, pulled Da Lang with one hand, and pulled Erlang with the other hand to follow Qin Liu to the Swallow Tower in front.
Many of the tables and chairs in the Swallow Building have been moved to the new restaurant, and the hall is empty.
After breakfast, Qin Liu had already finished the noodles, adjusted the leek meat filling, and waited for the dumplings to be made at noon, and the little mute just caught up.
Qin Liu's hands and feet were nimble, adding firewood to boil water on one side, making dumplings by himself on the other side, and occasionally going to the kitchen door to see the little mute surrounded by two children.
The little mute was embarrassed, and it was obvious that he had suffered a lot.
Qin Liu felt slightly guilty.
The dumplings were cooked quickly, Qin Liu boiled two large plates, brought them out and put them on the table, and carefully adjusted a ginger vinegar dipping sauce.
The freshly cooked dumplings were a little hot, and the little mute was sweating profusely. Qin Liu took the big pu fan, and while fanning the little mute, he cooled the dumpling fan a few times.
After eating, Qin Liu didn't bother to wash the dishes, and asked the little mute to take a bath first, and she went to the hut where the little mute used to live to get his clothes.
The clothes were taken and placed in front of the shower room in the West House, and Qin Liu went to cool the boiling hot water with well water, intending to let the little mute drink to quench his thirst for a while.
was busy, and there was a shocking sound of slamming the door at the gate of the swallow tower.
Qin Liu asked the two children to find Li Laohan in the East House and go to the Swallow Building to answer the door by himself.
Looking out through the crack in the door, there was a fierce and vicious officer outside the door, followed by two officers with wooden sticks.
Qin Liu sighed in his heart.
But the people outside the door were already very impatient: "Open the door quickly, if you don't open it again, I'll kick the door!" ”
Qin Liu had to open the door.
