Chapter 710： Returning like an arrow

Chapter 710 Returning like an arrow

Jiaren and his brothers did not shy away and looked over openly.

Originally, it was a bit rude to be like this, but since the incident of "selling one's body to bury their father", Lu Zong and Jia Xu have relied on the Li family.

Eating, living, traveling, and spending almost all time with their brothers.

On the way back to the city, they did rough work together, smelled the smell of fish, blew the cold wind, wiped their noses together, and squatted on the deck to eat dry food. Lu Zong and Jia Xu did not complain about hardship.

The two of them are also well-read and knowledgeable in conversation, and they don't have the squeamishness and arrogance of young men from aristocratic families.

Slowly, they became familiar and harmonious with each other, no less than brothers, but much closer than friends.

At this moment, it was obvious that Lu Zong's people had sent the news, and they were also curious.

As a result, Lu Zong took the letter from the servant, read it roughly, and handed it to Jiaren.

“Jiaren, look at the news from Kyoto. There was a little trouble in your family, but it’s over now, so there’s no need to worry.”

Jiaren was startled. After reading ten lines at a glance, he frowned and told everyone, "Wait a moment, I will go and talk to the uncle."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Brother Li and Brother Mao became more and more curious. After reading it, they jumped up in anger.

Brother Cat yelled, "You are so bold and bold. What kind of **** Chen family actually bullied us in front of our house!"

Brother Li also sneered, "To be able to bury Fu Niu'er so angry that she must have been very dangerous at that time."

Jia Xu was confused when he heard it, but no one could explain it to him, so he could only grab the letter and read it again.

He actually smiled and said: "My brother is usually a straightforward person, but I don't think he would have such courage this time and take the nurse to Suijintan to help?

"It seems that joining the army is not a bad thing. He has a lot of potential!"

At this time, Jiaren and Li Zhensheng had already walked over.

Li Zhensheng read the letter carefully, and Tong Jiaren said: "If you are concerned, you can take the land route from here, and you can get home one day earlier than the water route.

“It’s just that we have to pay attention to safety on the road and tell the Marquis when we get home. We have to borrow the pier of the military camp this time. Otherwise, I’m afraid the fleet won’t be able to dock during the Chinese New Year.”

"Yes, uncle, we will definitely bring the message." Jiaren responded.

Brother Li and Brother Cat also nodded, looking a little excited.

Although they were traveling to study and gain experience, they did not have the chance to travel alone most of the time. They did not want to be home soon and still have to travel alone.

Lu Zong and Jia Xu must go together!

With five people like this, plus five servants, even if they ride together, they still need five horses.

Jiaren was just planning to leave the dock and go to the county town to find some **** agencies and rent some horses. The steward who delivered the message had already brought the horses.

Brother Cat happily put his hand on Lu Zong's arm and repeatedly promised countless delicious food.

Lu Zong couldn’t stop laughing. He was worried that Brother Cat was young and had poor riding skills, so he tied Brother Cat to his waist.

Hurrying like this, with him blocking the wind, Brother Cat can still be lazy and take a nap.

The group of people was soon on the road, braving the light snow that started to fall at an unknown time, and rushing home with a fiery heart!

There was a night of wind and snow, and the white cotton-padded jacket on Broken Gold Beach became thicker again.

Having been bored at home for a few days, I missed my mother a little bit, so I chose to take a car and go for a walk in the city at three o'clock in the morning, the warmest time of the day.

In the white clouds, business is still booming.

Perhaps it’s because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so there are a lot of people moving between houses, and the supply of snacks and Baiyun cakes in the shop simply exceeds the demand.

Shopkeeper Peng is in the front hall, as busy as a diligent bee.

But he didn't feel tired at all, and his smile stretched from the corner of his mouth to his ears.

Seeing his boss coming, he hurriedly welcomed him to the backyard and couldn't wait to report.

"Boss, business has been very good these days. I did a simple calculation and found that my income in these days has doubled from before!" Naturally, I was happy with the good news.

This is a real profit, making money every day.

She signaled Shuiling to put down the box he had brought, and said with a smile: "Invite the master chef in charge of snacks to come over and talk. It's the Chinese New Year, and we have to add two new products to the shop."

"Seriously?" Shopkeeper Peng was extremely happy. "There have been customers asking about this in the past few days. Today, the boss sent new products. It's great!"

Having said that, he went to call the master himself. Chen Xi, who was a little free at the moment, also came over to enjoy the fun.

Actually, Jiayin didn’t think of anything too outlandish to eat, just fried chicken, popcorn, and baked sweet potatoes.

Chicken popcorn is made of chicken cut into pieces, marinated with seasonings, rolled in batter, and fried in oil.

Except for the more complicated marinade recipe, the rest is very simple.

Roasted sweet potatoes are even more common.

It’s just that sweet potatoes are produced in Yunzhou and are cheap. No caravan is willing to transport them...

Jiayin likes to eat roasted sweet potatoes. Since Lao Hei and others brought sweet potatoes back, they have planted several acres of land in the space. Now they have a good harvest, and they have packed a hundred bags.

She would not be able to finish the meal even if she took her family with her.

Simply take it to the shop and exchange it for money.

Shopkeeper Peng and Chen Xi are both optimistic about chicken popcorn and don’t have high expectations for sweet potato.

After all, sweet potatoes are a cheap commodity, and farmers are not willing to eat more unless they are extremely hungry.

Unexpectedly, the sweet potato was roasted, peeled, put on a white porcelain plate, and took a bite of the red-gold flesh with a small silver spoon. It was so unexpectedly sweet!

The two looked at each other and immediately decided to sell it in the shop.

At the beginning, each guest in the private room can receive one for free.

After customers get used to it and like it, we can then set the price and sell it...

Jiayin couldn't help but eat half of it, and then while he was flipping through the account books, shopkeeper Peng came up to chat again.

“Boss, the business at the branch is getting worse and worse. Recently, the goods received are not even half as much as before!

“Guests said that they all lost their appetite because of the rancid Baiyun cake sold in the branch. So they would rather walk a few more steps and come to us to buy freshly baked cakes than go to the branch!”

Jiayin nodded and told: "So for those who sell food, the most important thing is reputation. We must strictly manage it in our shop.

“No matter how careful you are about quality and hygiene, you can’t be too careful. After all, it’s what comes at the entrance!”

“Don’t worry, boss, I talk in everyone’s ears every day, and I’m sure I won’t be wrong.” Shopkeeper Peng quickly assured.

Following the good news, I started to draw cakes.

“The end of the year is coming soon, our shop is special and we can only take one day off every 30 days.

“On the first day of the Lunar New Year, we pay New Year greetings, and on the second day of the Lunar New Year, we go to our parents’ homes. From the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it is the peak season, and everyone has to continue working.

“Let’s do this. In addition to giving red envelopes and New Year gifts at the end of the year, we will give everyone double wages in the first month. Starting from February, everyone will take turns to take vacations to do things.

"Of course, if someone has something to do at home, he must take a vacation during the New Year, and don't try to stop him. Be considerate of each other and understand each other."

Shopkeeper Peng was happy to hear this and quickly accepted the offer for everyone.

“Don’t worry, boss, there won’t be any emergencies like burning a house on fire, requiring us to go back and deal with it.

“Everyone has a New Year’s Eve dinner during the holiday, and will come to work on the first day of the Lunar New Year. There will be no problem in keeping it!”
