Chapter 27 The Second Shopkeeper
Time flies, time flies, and perhaps the most wonderful thing about life is that it has passed inadvertently. When you look back, it's already a different look, and you won't even be overwhelmed and won't give you a chance.
The big river ferry in Zheng County is still busy, in full swing, and full of vitality. The constant stream of tourists often returns, and the tourists who take the boat change one after another, the only constant being the few breakfast shops that remain by the ferry.
The only thing that has changed recently is Lao Litou's steamed bun shop. In the past, Lao Li Tou just did his duty, and the furnishings in the store and all kinds of food remained unchanged. Although past tourists are accustomed to these flavors, anything that is eaten too much will inevitably be tasteless.
The change has changed since the bun shop suddenly came, and a handsome little guy with a scar between his eyebrows and nose came. In fact, Lao Li Tou didn't think about changing before, and the guests repeatedly complained that he was anxious in his eyes. But on the one hand, I am too old to do anything, and on the other hand, I am afraid of doing too much and making too many mistakes. In the end, it was gone, and after so many years of stumbling, it also passed. In the future, I will leave this inheritance to my youngest daughter Li Hua, and it doesn't matter if she sells it or takes care of it with her son-in-law. A deceased person categorically can't control the affairs of the yang world.
It's April again, and it's the turn of spring and summer. On the edge of the big river ferry in Zheng County, there was a thunderclap.
"Crackling ......"
After the sound of firecrackers, the sound of congratulations came and went.
"Old Li Tou, yes. The dilapidated body is changed to a gold body, which is extraordinary?"
People who often go back and forth to the ferry and are familiar with Lao Li Tou can't help but ridicule.
Lao Li Tou, smiling from ear to ear, invited everyone to sit inside.
Lao Li waved his hand and did it with pride.
"My Lao Li is also generous today, today the whole audience is 50% off, all the past merchants and neighbors, please come in and sit. ”
Behind Lao Li Tou, the bun shop has disappeared. A brand-new restaurant appeared on the edge of the ferry, and a brilliant plaque was hung high at the door, with the old Li Tou Restaurant written on it. Under the sun, Ye Ye shines brightly, and the magnificence is incomparable.
The demolition and reconstruction of the bun shop completely depended on the suggestion of Emperor Han Qing. Lao Li Tou hesitated for a long time, and finally agreed to the matter with the encouragement of Emperor Han Qing.
After the matter was finalized, Lao Li Tou became the shopkeeper, and everything was handled by Emperor Han Qing. Lao Li, who has been busy for half his life, just make suggestions and take out his savings.
Emperor Han Qing didn't dare to slack off and did it himself. He personally went to the Left Bank to recruit skilled craftsmen, and the sketch was revised and discussed several times before it was unanimously approved.
Tearing down and rebuilding is not a one-time thing, and Emperor Han Qing is even busier. Everything must be done personally, and all the small details are spoken. The selection of materials and materials were all present in person, and the vendors were very busy.
Finally, it officially opened on the 14th day of the fourth lunar month.
The original intention is also very simple, since he came to the bun shop to help. In the early stage, he didn't say a word, did more and watched more, and in the later stage, he also put forward some targeted changes. Later, through observation, he made up his mind to advocate change.
As a densely populated place, the ferry port has the need for food and daily life, and on the other hand, it has not formed a certain scale. Most of them are in bulk and alone, learning from each other, but not innovating. Emperor Han Qing sniffed out the business opportunity from it, and tried his best to persuade Lao Li Tou to agree.
In the end, things went so smoothly.
Standing next to the ferry is a two-story inn-type restaurant, and the first floor is not only the old steamed buns, but also the addition of wine stir-fry to serve customers in need. There are more than a dozen rooms on the second floor, which are used for the accommodation of people who are tired of traveling. Once launched, it is clear which is more important and which is more important. It was unanimously welcomed by passing passengers, so a large group of people gathered early in today's opening, and they were not in a hurry to take a boat, so they came to gamble.
Other shops in the surrounding area, inquiring in every possible way in the early stage, have already learned about the ambitions of young people. It's just that when it opened, everything was unveiled, and it still shook their hearts. So compared to Lao Li's smile, they had a bitter face. People who have a strong sense of crisis have realized that their business will deteriorate in the future.
As soon as everyone heard Lao Litou's bold words, the congratulatory voice was even more exaggerated. Finally, under the leadership of Lao Li Tou, they sat down together.
A group of people rushed into a group of people outside the door of more than a dozen tables and chairs on the first floor, and after a while, they all sat down, but they were not enough to sit at all. Today, he just smiled and watched all this, and Emperor Han Qing, who was willing to play a supporting role, walked out in time at this time. The men moved the tables and chairs reserved in advance out of the warehouse, and placed some tables and chairs outside the door, so that all the tables and chairs were arranged.
After stabilizing the situation, Emperor Han Qing was ready to withdraw from the crowd as if nothing had happened. But before he could lift his feet, he was stopped.
"Where is the second shopkeeper, but I heard that Lao Li Tou can open this restaurant, and you have contributed a lot. Wait a few drinks?"
When Emperor Han Qing heard this, it turned out to be the person who teased Lao Li Tou just now. is a regular customer of the former bun shop, and he didn't dare to slack off, and claimed that it was.
"I'm not the second shopkeeper, and I've only made some modest efforts. Everything is a far-sighted and wise leadership of the shopkeeper Li. ”
"Wine must be drunk, everyone eats and drinks well today. ”
The person who spoke was not entangled, and seeing that Emperor Han Qing's words were not leaking, he was no longer bored.
However, he is not wrong about one thing, that is, Emperor Han Qing is already the second treasurer. Although he was humble, the person in the store did not know it.
I'm afraid that Lao Li Tou will recruit him as a son-in-law in the future! This is what most people think, and Emperor Han Qing just did what he could to repay Lao Li Tou's family for saving their lives. Although it may not always be in the mouth, it is always remembered in the heart and never forgotten.
Although the scale has expanded now, Emperor Han Qing is still doing the things of the second child in the store. But whether it is the back kitchen or other guys, who doesn't know that Lao Li Tou has already become the shopkeeper, and everything is left to this young man to take care of the affairs of the store.
Emperor Han Qing did not disappoint everyone, everything was done in a good way.
Time passed after he was full of wine and food, and finally Lao Li Tou kept his promise, and sure enough, all the consumption in the audience was 50% off. People are full of praise after they have eaten and drunk. Groups of three or five slowly left, leaving only a table of leftovers.
At night, when only Li Hua and Lao Li were left in the store. Emperor Han Qing personally went to the back kitchen to make a few side dishes, carrying a pot of his daughter's red wine. The three of them sat at the table, and he was honest with each other, today is my birthday—sixteen years old.
stopped Lao Li, who wanted to fry a few more dishes, and the three of them sat around the table, eating and drinking.
Later, Emperor Han Qing and Lao Li were drunk.
Lao Li Tou was sent upstairs to rest by Li Hua, and Emperor Han Qing leaned on a chair and looked up at the sky, his cry was suppressed, and he laughed loudly without making a sound.
