Chapter 118 What is this shop for?

Leeks have already been harvested. As the weather continues to get colder, as soon as the twelfth lunar month enters, the original price of 100 Wen per catty will become 150 Wen per catty. As the New Year approaches, it will become more and more expensive.

Those people who came to buy vegetables kept complaining, and shopkeeper Niu took the trouble to explain.

"Things are rare and expensive. It's good if you can eat this now. If you buy it again on the 28th or 9th of the twelfth lunar month, it will cost you a tael of silver a catty. At that time, you still have to grab it. If you don't grab it, you won't be able to eat it during the New Year." Take a bite."

Complaints are complaints, but if you want to eat this, you will buy a catty no matter how much it costs.

The main thing is that you have money in your hands, and if you don’t have money, you won’t buy it if you want to eat.

Qiao Mai saw that the five women who managed five acres of land were not only diligent in taking care of the vegetables, but also cared about the poultry house, so he immediately rewarded five of them with two taels of silver each.

Once others hear that they are more active in their work, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon, if they do a good job, the boss will reward them more when they are happy.

Although they are under the contract of death, who would think that the money is too much? If the boss is happy one day, they might let them go.

The brothers and sisters of the Liu family are very peaceful here. Liu Ye is doing well in the embroidery shop, doing whatever she asks, and practicing embroidery with rags when she is free.

It has only been more than half a month since I came here, and I can tie nets and embroider some simple handkerchiefs.

Liu Hai was also very diligent in Jingtai Restaurant, because he had worked in the town before, and he rarely winked, and he did the work without the shopkeeper's orders.

Shopkeeper Tong felt that he was a good person, and he was also a relative of Mrs. Qiao, so he gave him a salary of 200 wen a month.

This is not the main thing. What makes him happy is the four recipes he bought for two hundred taels of silver. The response is very good. Many customers order these four dishes as soon as they come in, which makes his business a lot better.

Liu Yeming said that shopkeeper Lu was in charge of food and housing. In fact, she lived in Jixiangyuan like Xiuhong and Xiuyu.

The three meals are very good. Although it is her cousin's house, she never walks around. Except Xiuhong Xiuyu took her to the back to look at the vegetables in the greenhouse and the poultry houses, otherwise she would not leave the house. .

Only now does she know how hardworking and hardworking this cousin is to make money.

She secretly made up her mind that she must learn the craft well, and learn from her cousin to earn more money.

Mayor Qian likes to go to Qiaoji snack shop when he has nothing to do, and it takes half a day to sit there.

Because here, he always eats good food.

Let’s take the sauerkraut stuffed dumplings made in the kitchen last time. He was lucky enough to eat it once.

So I asked my cook to buy it every now and then, and wrapped it for myself at home, and I often bought kimchi and spicy cabbage and drank it with porridge.

Then I went to the snack shop to find delicious food when it was free. No, the greenhouse in the backyard has food.

He caught up with the first batch of fresh vegetables, paid the money immediately, and also grabbed half of the basket, and let the guards deliver it to the house quickly.

How does it feel to be able to eat cucumbers, eggplants, water spinach, etc. in winter? Excited like flying into the sky!

The fact that Qiaoji Snack Shop in Tianshui Town released new dishes flew into the surrounding cities, counties and towns like wings.

In order to be able to eat fresh vegetables in winter, the steward of the rich family got orders from the master and came here in a carriage.

Those who bought it went away happily, and those who couldn’t buy it paid money to book in advance, and they couldn’t book more. Every household has a limit.

Shopkeeper Niu looked at the orders and giggled, "Master is right, this mouthful of fresh vegetables has brought all the other goods in the store. When they come, they will not only buy fresh vegetables, but also buy some of them when they see these delicious ones. , to please the master."

Mate 1, "Isn't that right, the five-spice eggs I've cooked for the past few days are empty every day. If it doesn't work, I'll cook more from tomorrow."

The second guy said, "The roasted seeds and nuts are sold very quickly. In the past, they were fried every three days, but now they are almost every day. I saw that in a few days, we will have to fry every day. Otherwise, they will come to buy at the end of the year, and the supply will not be enough." , stock up more."

Dude three, "This month is a bumper month."

Business Manager Niu glanced at them, "Work hard, the master won't treat us badly, don't talk so uselessly all day long."

"Hey Hey."

Anyway, everything is easy to sell during the New Year, and all businessmen point to making more money during the New Year, so that they can have a good New Year.

On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Qiao Mai equipped the Dongzao, wrapped it tightly, and went to Fucheng to "buy goods".

It's not the Chinese New Year soon, she wants to get a batch of fruits to sell in the store, so she goes to the county town to see Xin'er's store.

Entering the city, she didn't go directly to Xin'er, but wandered around the streets of the city.

The snack recipes she gave Xin'er are all sought after by people in the modern era of gourmet food, let alone here.

If such a snack appears in the city, it will definitely be passed on from one to another.

Sure enough, after wandering around for a while, she saw a shop with many people crowded outside, and she drove the carriage to the side of the shop.

Get out of the cart and tie the horse to a horse post on one side.

asked a woman waiting to enter, "What is this shop for? What are you doing around here?"

"Aren't you from the county?" The woman was very enthusiastic.

"Well, I'm here to do something in the city today."

"Let me tell you, this is a newly opened snack shop in our county. It sells a kind of snack. It's really spicy and delicious. I want to eat a second bowl. I come here every day to eat a bowl. It's cold. It’s delicious when it’s hot.”

Qiao Mai knew as soon as he heard it that this shop must have stopped running.

At the door and smelling the smell wafting from inside, she was sure.

So she also joined the queue, and after waiting for almost half an hour, she and the woman were able to enter.

The woman was also enthusiastic and took her to occupy a newly vacated table. The waiter rushed up to collect the bowls and wiped the table clean.

"Two large bowls of Liangpi, put more chili oil."

"Good class, one bowl is 20 Wen, and the second bowl is 40 Wen. Who will pay for the two? We pay first and then eat."

The woman was not annoyed, and readily paid her share. Qiao Mai smiled, and also took out 20 Wen to pay.

The man took the money and left, the woman pouted at Qiao Mai, "Twenty cents a bowl is really not cheap,"

Qiao Mai responded, "It's okay. They rent a shop and hire a man. The food must be made of good rice and noodles. With the oil, it doesn't make much money together. The main thing is to eat delicious food. "

"That's right, let me tell you, this shop is owned by the Feng family, and I don't know where they bought the prescriptions from. This business, even though it's small, is really booming. There are so many people from morning to night. , I calculated for his family, this day will eat thousands of bowls."

"So much?"

"Yes, one bowl is twenty Wen, ten bowls are two hundred Wen, one hundred bowls are two taels, one thousand bowls are twenty taels of silver, and one month is six hundred taels. Sometimes they sell more than these, many The big family sent people over to buy it, but they didn’t eat it here, and I heard that the price will increase.”

"How do you know this belongs to the Feng family?"

"Master and Mrs. Feng's family come here every now and then, not to mention, and eat a bowl here from time to time, which shows that his family's food is clean. If it's not clean, can you eat by yourself? Besides, didn't you read the sign just now? It says Feng's family Snack shop."

Qiao Mai's face became more and more unsightly. When she handed Fangzi to shopkeeper Lu, she said that Fangzi was for Xin'er, not for the Feng family. After a while, she became the Feng family's up.

When the Liangpi was served, the woman couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and start eating.

Qiao Mai stirred the cold noodle, and began to eat every bite. She and the woman wanted cold ones.

It's very hot in the house, so there's no need to fry it, the cold noodle will taste better when it's cold.

Eating a familiar taste reminded her of the earth, and she really missed it.

Just as she was thinking about a burst of laughter coming from outside the house, she looked over coldly, and it turned out that it was the mistress of the Feng family who brought the girl.

As soon as they came in, the staff arranged a place for them, and first gave Liangpi to their master and servant.
