My live broadcast room communicates ancient and modern

Chapter 196 Kaiselu (two chapters in one)

At Xu Family Restaurant, there is a deliberate distance between the cashier counter and the dining tables inside to prevent guests from feeling uncomfortable while chatting.

There is also a bamboo screen erected between the two, which on the one hand prevents the cold wind from opening the door back and forth, and on the other hand prevents money from leaking through the door.

However, the movable bamboo screen was improved by Xu Laoer after Mrs. Xu suggested it.

There are several hooks on the screen of their house, which can hang a jade-grass outer garment and two pieces of clothing, so Mrs. Xu used it as a clothes hanger.

At this time, Mrs. Xu was sitting at the counter. There was a painting of Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, on the yellow mud wall behind her. The God of Wealth was holding the words "Five Ways to Promise Wealth".

While listening to the chatter inside, she was flipping through the small book in front of her to collect accounts.

Mrs. Xu heard the guests praising her, no wonder it was expensive, the fish was delicate and tender, the sauce was very fragrant, and she didn't know how to steam it.

Shopkeeper Zhang nodded in approval of his companion, the fish was really good.

Shopkeeper Zhang doesn't compare prices when buying something, and won't regret it after eating it. Since he chooses to let people make decisions about the dishes, he shouldn't be suspicious.

Not to mention spending money on food, he has been cooperating with others for many years, and when doing business, he often encounters situations where the long-term cooperation must be divided, and the long-term separation must be combined.

Years of experience have taught him that even if you are half-red-faced with someone, don't slander them after the show.Because maybe one day, we can work together again for the sake of profit.

As a human being, walking in the world is driven by interests, and there are no absolute enemies or friends.

So when he didn't hear Mrs. Xu introducing the fish, he heard that there were 11 people at the table and [-] people at the table. To be honest, he didn't take the banquet seriously.Just spend the money you spent unnecessarily, and you won’t regret it.

He is from the capital, has eaten and seen too many good things, and has spent many times more money than this table.It was said how delicious it was, but it turned out not to be delicious enough to entertain guests.

In the eyes of shopkeeper Zhang, some of the money was spent not for the food itself.

Like this time, what he thought more about was making a local friend, who knew a fifth-grade or above officer in the Zhenbei Army, and informed him of information in advance that would make it much more convenient for him.For these reasons, we must also recognize them.

After all, cats have their way, and mice have their way.

There are many local friends, and you may have unexpected gains one day.For example, helping you avoid disasters or helping you travel conveniently. As a businessman, less trouble is equivalent to saving a lot of money, which is definitely greater than the value of the meal.

Especially in the future, if nothing else happens, in order to save transportation costs for mutual markets, their semicolon may be opened here.This time he came with the mission given by his employer, mainly to explore the tone of the boss, inspect the local area, and then choose the semicolon position.

Shopkeeper Zhang is reasonable. He is the first merchant to come. Since he is the first one, there is goodwill between him and Erdaohe, so he will always be impressed.If you have one more friend and more roads, just use a few dozen taels as flowers to make friends with the Xu family.

But I didn't expect that this Erdao River is really extraordinary.All the items sold will definitely make your money well spent, and even the huts are built decently. Unlike other stores, they just deal with every corner if they are not fully prepared.

It's Erdaohe's turn. Like this fish, the Xu family talked about it for a long time, and they must tell you clearly that it is expensive. That means you have eaten the most expensive fish here.Do you understand what "the most expensive" means? Some fishermen may have caught this precious fish in their lifetime, and there are also fish that were once used as tribute.You eat the same food as the emperor of the previous dynasty, so you are awesome or not.

Therefore, shopkeeper Zhang didn't take the banquet money seriously at all, and after being explained by Mrs. Xu, he felt even more comfortable.

After all, it was better not to be taken advantage of. Erdaohe really wasn't fooling anyone.

I don’t know if it was a psychological effect, but shopkeeper Zhang felt that the braised fish in the pot was really fragrant.

Sitting on the stool on the hot bed, eating the fish made him sweat.

Maybe she changed seats, but Mrs. Xu heard someone shouting inside:
"Come on, come on, try my pot of fish. It's thicker and fatter than your pot of fish. When you open it with chopsticks, you'll find fish roe and fatty fish oil."

"It's fragrant. Even the tofu and vermicelli stewed in the pot are delicious with rice, but it's a bit salty."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu took it to heart and decided to add less sauce next time.

Let Si'er be more alert. The weight of fish is different, and there are different stew methods for big fish and small fish. Don't give as much sauce as you need.

Someone inside said:

"What's the name of this? It's fried until it's golden and crispy. When you bite it, it's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a sweet and sour taste."

"I heard from the store that it seems to be called Guobao, that's what she called it. The fried pork belly is also crispy and salty. The starch here seems to be better than the one here. You can see that even the fried tofu skin is thick with gravy. It's full and smooth in your mouth. Do you feel like it?"

Mrs. Xu didn't know if she was telling her specifically, but the voice of the customer inside raised slightly: "It's not about the fans, it's about the craftsmanship that is really extraordinary. We only prepared one table of dishes, and there were four dishes that we had never seen before. If you can have this kind of craftsmanship, think about it... It's a pity. This is definitely passed down from the ancestors. You should really go to the capital to open a restaurant and try it. We know the most about it in the capital, where all the wealthy people are, and we are the most willing to eat it. "

Only then did Mrs. Xu know that the group of tea merchants transporting Maofeng tea and Taiping Houkui did not set out from their hometown as Huizhou merchants, but set out from the main office in the capital to hire an escort.

No wonder there are people with Huizhou accents and many young men speaking Mandarin.He also said that shopkeeper Zhang’s family was from the capital.

Also, it takes at least more than three months to transport from the Huizhou tea fields, and more than one month from the capital.

Moreover, I heard that this batch of tea was sold to overseas nobles.

Tea is also divided into grades, and they belong to the better ones.

There are still a group of green brick tea merchants who are not in place. It is the task given by the imperial court to Jingzhou merchants, which is to press tea leaves into bricks.

As for Shopkeeper Zhang’s good tea, Mrs. Xu guessed that it might cost three pounds or two pounds for a horse?Alas, I don’t know what my family can exchange for a horse.

Ever since my granddaughter saw the female general riding a horse, she has been thinking about her deeply. Don’t think she can’t tell.

Although she thought it would be difficult for her granddaughter to get on the kang, why would she ride a horse?But since the child has mentioned that he wants a BMW, whether he can ride one is one thing, and whether he can fulfill his dream is another matter.

The door opened and Liu Laozhu came in holding a jar of wine.

Mrs. Xu raised her chin at him to let him in. She was a little tired today and would not walk if she could.

Across the screen, Mrs. Xu heard Liu Laozhu fooling the guests: "I said it also included wine, so it must be there. Drink it, didn't it mean three cups of wine for Wan Zhang Hong Chen and a pot of tea for Qian Qiu Da Ye? You can't just drink it Tea, what else do you want... what is it?" he shouted outside.

Mrs. Xu was speechless.

Liu Laozhu didn't know when he started to have a new habit of remembering her quotes.

My brain is so weak that I can only remember half of it.

I had to rush inside, leaned forward with a smile and shouted:

"Tea is about savoring tea carefully, talking slowly, and drinking tea together to plan how to make a lot of money, so it is called Qianqiu Daye.

Drinking is like talking loudly and boldly. After drinking too much, we look forward to each other, and then sigh and sigh at the difficult sadness along the way.

The storm is surging and the rivers and lakes are happy, who can't drink?Therefore, we are inseparable from the mortal world. We are all common people in the mortal world.

Today is the most relaxed time for you. It's the last journey. You didn't dare to breathe easy when you brought the goods when you arrived. You can't even bring the banknotes with you when you return. You can't sleep well.

Today, at this moment, the wine is also delivered, drink! "

Liu Laozhu admired him in his heart at first!
If you can really speak plainly if you always call the shots, won’t there be a bottleneck period?
He and Guan Ertuo had just lamented outside, saying that in order to promote sales, they had been thinking about words during meals these days.They have improved a lot. In the past, the two of them could only smoke cigarettes with a bunch of men and have fun talking about farmland for a long time. Two women had two glasses of wine and talked about the men and cursed them for a long time.

Of course, I also want to thank those days when I traveled to various villages to work as a salesman. It was during that time that I developed my sharp tongue.

Liu Laozhu smiled and said: "Did you hear that? That's right, if you don't feel confident drinking when the goods are placed here, then there will be no time to feel confident. Drink, look at the wine we have here, it's not little green wine." Anyway, you guys I can't drink much, the alcohol level is very high, and I feel confused after two drinks.

When Shopkeeper Zhang saw the cool white wine, he felt prickly in his heart, and whispered to Liu Laozhu: "It is indeed the most relaxing today, and the logic is the same, but we can't drink it, right? We need medicine."

"Don't listen to the doctor, don't miss this meal, try it."

Liu Laozhu bought it to promote the drink and bought it to warm up on the way. One sip can make you blush from your neck to your face.

Shopkeeper Zhang also loves to drink, otherwise why would he pick up the wine glass with just a word of advice.

He also felt that Aunt Xu persuaded him deeply, and he did not dare to drink even after bringing back the banknotes on the last trip.

So in a short time, I went from tasting it to not drinking it, then drinking it, and then I drank more.

With the roaring voices in the hotel, this group of people fell into the world of mortals.

Mrs. Xu also heard a lot of gossip from a group of people in the capital.

It was said that Jin Shang was already 68 years old, and a new 16-year-old concubine was promoted to the concubine. Before the caravan was about to set off, they saw Jin Shang Qingdao with their own eyes, accompanying their new favorite concubine back to her parents' home. The concubine's carriage was made of jade. It was said that it cost more than 20 taels.

Because of this, the caravan unloaded its goods again and was all stuck there, leaving it two days late.

It doesn't matter if the shops in the capital leave late if they have goods. The city gates are closed for several days, but those blocked outside can't get in or get out, which inexplicably costs a lot more.

Fortunately, in this mutual trade, the prince took the actual situation into account, knowing that the journey was too long and the transportation was too expensive. The Minister of Household Affairs also argued for tax exemption for all participating firms, so that the owner could make money.

Otherwise, this trip, minus all the expenses and wages, would be in vain.There is no way. The status of merchants is low. If anything happens to the dynasty, they will first sacrifice the major business houses and bank accounts. The superiors don't care whether you have profits or not. They think that the whole world is not the king's land. It is your obligation.Even though he won the tax exemption, he heard that the prince offended Jin Shang and was sent to guard the imperial mausoleum.

Mrs. Xu frowned when she heard this.What kind of emperor is this? He has hundreds of thousands of silver to give his concubine a ride, but has no money to help the people fight disasters.

The door opened again, and Yu Qiniang and her daughter-in-law Xiaoyunduan's sticky bean buns came in.

Shopkeeper Zhang was laughing while drinking, and he leaned over to call to Mrs. Xu who was sitting at the counter: "Auntie, why are there still more? I can't eat anymore."

"It's not much. It's also unique to our family. The fried sticky bean buns are fried for you. They are sticky and delicious. They are dipped in sugar and are soft and oily."

When Yu Qinniang came out, Mrs. Xu said again: "Put on a pot of frozen pears. I think they are almost done drinking. They will eat later." Then she asked: "Where is Tian Xin?"

"I went to the bathhouse to deliver medicine, and I heard that there were more than 20 boxes sold there. A young man stopped her. I saw the third child was about to go over and ask what he was doing, when we heard Tian Xin say to the young man, It’s no longer for sale. I don’t know why it’s gone, it seems like everything is gone.”

Yu Qinniang smiled and wiped her hands with her apron and asked, "Mom, have we never earned Tian Xin again?"

"How can I win against her?"

After Mrs. Xu collected the accounts, she could only earn four and a half taels for one table, excluding all costs. A total of six tables totaled 27 taels.The bathroom was even more busy, and she and the Liu family only had 14 taels for each family.The remaining money left to give the boiler a bath was to buy firewood and cakes, and to give her granddaughter two taels of toiletries.

In addition to renting out the storage house for three taels and feeding the mules for one tael, her house can accommodate 120 people in Datongbu tonight, with each person receiving ten cents and one tael of silver.

Less than 50 taels of silver, the initial investment in opening a shop at home only cost a lot of money for quilts and bath towels, and the capital has not been repaid yet.

It takes another group of businesses to start turning over.

While the two were talking, Xu Tianxin, who was good at making money and had no pressure, came back.

"Nai, do you want me to stay up late with you tonight, or come early to help tomorrow?"

Mrs. Xu waved to her daughter-in-law and let her go out to freeze the pears. Hearing this, she grabbed her granddaughter's little hand and said, "It depends on whether you want to eat barbecue tonight or eat fried dough sticks tomorrow morning."

If you want to have barbecue tonight, then stay up late here with her, just in time for the meat to melt, and grill some pork belly for your granddaughter.If you come to eat fried dough sticks tomorrow morning, just go back to sleep.

Xu Tianxin chuckled and said: "I'd better go home, just in time to settle the family wages. Mom, if they don't add food, you should come back early."

"Wait a minute, ask your third uncle to drive back with you, and ask him to go to Xishan Town tomorrow to pick up the porcelain bottles. Are there no bottles left to load?"

"Can you guys be busy tomorrow? Let's ask someone to deliver the letter to Xishan Town."

"How much money can he make by roasting chestnuts? There are many workers at home, but we can't make money from you. It's slow to ask someone to deliver the letter."

Mrs. Xu came to the door and specifically told Mr. Xu: "Go to bed early tonight, we have to go out again tomorrow. You are going out alone without the fourth child following you. Our family is inherently eye-catching, so don't show off your wealth."

Xu Youcang looked puzzled: "...Mom, you should have told me not to commit crimes when I go out, no matter how poor I am. Are you going against what you said?"

"You stinky boy."

"Mom, when will you come back?"

"In another hour and a half, your second sister-in-law, your aunt, and Guan Erbaldy will go back, leaving your second brother and fourth brother here to watch the night."

At the same time, the old masters in the bathhouse also knew that Xu Tianxin, who made a lot of money, was off work.Get off work at that time.

Isn't that right? The master chefs were cleaning up the bathroom and preparing to welcome the third wave of bathing guests. They commented: "I'm afraid I have to earn another five or sixty taels, right? Alas, don't compare yourself to that girl. It's about the relationship between Er Baldy and her." Everything has taken off, and I’m making a lot of money today. We can’t do it. Even if we dug out more than 60 holes in our ancestor’s graves and went to work together in the Xu family, we still wouldn’t be able to make any money.”

"Now it's no longer a question of whether you can make enough money or not. I come here to take baths and work, and I make money so that I can eat enough. Now I don't make much money, and I don't have time to eat. Is this nonsense..."

In the middle of the night, Mrs. Xu was so tired that she forgot to turn off the live broadcast. She felt that as soon as she got home and lay down for more than half an hour, her granddaughter suddenly sat up.

Rubbing his eyes, he said, "Milk, it seems like another wave of guests have arrived."

Sure enough, after a while Liu Laozhu drove his sledge and knocked on the door.

What should I do? I can’t live any longer.

Guan Ertu also hurried over in his clothes and asked Xu Tianxin Medicine that he was going to the bathhouse to sell medicine.Arriving in the middle of the night, I decided to take a shower if I couldn't bear the cold.

Xu Tianxin heard that it was a brush and inkstone company from Luzhou. It built a business with brushes and cast souls with brushes. Laizhou calligraphy and painting experts, Qilu brush and inkstones.

She waved her hand: "Grandpa Guan, we have nothing to do tonight, sleep well. There are no bottles anyway."

Why?

Because the east, west, south, north, and middle are all in Luzhou.The province is rich in vegetables, so you can have a good butt and less hemorrhoids. It is said that bean sprouts bless the people in that province.

As a modern anorectal surgeon, he has compiled the national ranking of hemorrhoids.

When Xu Tianxin lay down again, he felt that something had been neglected.

what's coming?

Yes, it is very dry outside the country, so she can also sell goods outside the country, such as the ancient version of Kaiselu.
