lying down

Ouyang couldn't help thinking of his excitement when he was rewarded with a hundred taels of silver for saving Xu Shiji's son, Hu'er. Looking at the Chinese characters drawn in ink on the account book now, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart—it turns out that bringing the ideas and knowledge of later generations into the restaurant can make such a profit!Of course, he didn't burn out his head. On the first day of opening today, everyone's appetite was whetted early. In addition, there are many distinguished guests today, so he can have such a terrifying harvest.According to common sense, if half of the water is removed, there will be no pressure at all about 300 taels a day.What is that concept?He can earn 9000 taels a month, and 8000 taels a year. With the current market where twenty coins can buy a bucket of rice, Ouyang can become a wealthy person in the Tang Dynasty within three years.

He was still a little unbelievable, but he felt that the needle drop could be heard in the hall at this moment, and the atmosphere was extremely strange, so he subconsciously raised his head to look at everyone.I saw that all men, women and children looked at him curiously, even Chu Tian, ​​who has always been known as "money is like dung", is no exception.

Hehe smirked twice, Ouyang took out the only two ingots of ten taels of silver from his arms and stuffed them into the hands of the old shopkeeper Wang Shiwen, saying "hard work", then took a deep breath to calm himself down, walked to the old lady and handed over the account books. He held it up and said: "Mother, this is today's details, please have a look." In fact, he didn't have to show the account book to the old lady, but everyone was there, he had to do this to show respect and love, of course there were some A little credit.

"My son, my mother is dim-sighted, how can I see this account book clearly. Since you are the owner, you should keep a good eye on yourself, so you don't have to look at it again with your mother. If you can, you can tell mother directly whether the restaurant is profitable or not. Earn? How much?" The old lady naturally knew Ouyang's intentions, and she would never take over the accounts to show her trust in her son in front of everyone.But in the end, I still couldn't help asking out the doubts in my heart, and it was considered asking out for everyone.

Ouyang closed the account book and took a look around everyone. The hall was full of close relatives and they didn't need to worry too much, so he said with a smile, "Mother, I earned 590 taels of silver today!"

"What!?" The old lady was shocked by his words, she stood up abruptly, as if she was 30 or [-] years younger.

The sound of "pure earn 590 taels" was like a thunderbolt, blowing up the entire hall.The most exaggerated one is not the guys like Wulang Qilang Geye and others, but the straightforward Yunniang.As soon as she heard the excitement, she suddenly got up, turned over the whole body in front of her, covered her mouth and stared at Ouyang's mouth, as if she wanted Ouyang to say it again.

"600 taels a day, 600 taels in [-] days, [-] taels in [-] days... [-] taels in [-] days, [-] days..." Goro wrung his fingers trying to calculate One year's income, but my mouth can't control it and I can't read it, showing signs of convulsions.Qilang, who was already blushing beside him, knocked his elbow on Wulang's weakness in a muffled voice, and only then did he stop his stupid behavior.

"Me, my son! Don't lie to your mother. If you earn a penny, you are earning money. If you earn a tael, you are earning money. It doesn't even matter if you lose money. The restaurant is newly opened, and none of our family has experienced it before, so don't be too concerned about gains and losses! "What everyone didn't expect was that the old lady Li Wang's face drooped, and she scolded Ouyang lightly with a little hesitation.

Ouyang was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that this single-day "record" was too bad for them, so the old lady reminded herself with these words.He shook his head with a wry smile, turned around and waved to Wang Shiwen, the shopkeeper who was still rubbing 20 taels of silver, and said, "Come and see."

Wang Shiwen walked up quickly, bowed his hands to salute everyone, turned to the old lady and said word by word: "Old lady, what the boss said is true. I made a net profit of 590 taels and 52 coins today! All the money has been put into the treasury. If you don't Don't worry, please ask the old lady to inspect it."

If it was said that everyone was still in doubt just now, but what the old and calm shopkeeper said at this moment cannot be refuted.

Ouyang only felt a "buzz" in his ears, and the whole hall was suddenly buzzing.Everyone was excited, even Qin Feng, who had always been cold-faced, was a little moved.

Looking at the red light and disbelieving eyes on everyone's faces, Ouyang thought to himself that if he didn't say anything else, he didn't know when the discussion would be over.

"Please be quiet, everyone, and listen to me!" Even though Ouyang yelled loudly with a smile, it was already more than ten breaths past when he calmed down.

"The boy is a straight person, and he has always said one thing and another. He made a lot of money today, which is something that even I didn't expect. It is impossible to make such a profit every day, but the boy wants to earn two or three hundred a day. Two silvers are still acceptable. I said before that the kid who entered this business is not for one person. Mother, two sisters-in-law and seven brothers all have shares, which means that today there are you in this small 300 taels I’m still saying, it’s better to have fun alone than to have fun together! But this is just the beginning, it’s just a restaurant, I’m not talented, so let’s look forward to the day when it will open all over the Tang Dynasty!” Ouyang has the potential to stir up the atmosphere , It can be said that it is heart-warming to fill everyone's hearts with joy.

Before everyone could react from the excitement, they saw Ouyang walking towards Yunniang quickly, handing a slender copper key and account book in his underwear to Yunniang: "Sister, I'm afraid I won't have much free time once I join the army. As we agreed before, this restaurant will take your troubles!"

Yunniang hadn't sat down since she got up just now, listening to Ouyang's heartwarming words, tears were already rolling in her eyes. "I'm afraid..."

"Don't be afraid, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, sister, let's practice. From now on, you won't be in charge of one or two restaurants!" Ouyang smiled and took Yunniang's hand, and stuffed two things into it.

There are those who sigh with emotion, those who sigh, and those who are jealous.Ouyang secretly thought that people's hearts are unpredictable, so it is necessary to clarify some words, and said with a smile: "The relatives and friends here, except for the nephew or niece in the belly of Mrs. Xiang, are the youngest in my generation. Forgive me for saying something rash, we should all be Work together to get rich and honor together. If someone has a wrong mind, don't blame me, a junior, for finding him unlucky, haha."

Hearing these words, everyone's hearts shivered again. Now that Ouyang is a general, and he is only over nineteen years old, his career as an official is definitely bright.If someone really had a wrong mind, with Ouyang's personality, it might not be as simple as looking for bad luck.The vast majority of people started from the grassroots and suffered more or less. They have heard some stories about suffering but not happiness. people.As for the future, that is not a question that can be considered in the early stage of entrepreneurship.

Ouyang watched everyone nodded slightly and grinned.

There are more than thousands of people laughing, at this time Xu Shiji who returned to the city mansion is chuckling with his beard.It's just that the person standing in front of him didn't have Ouyang's family, but only one person - Changsun Linling.

Today, the eldest grandson pretended to be Xu Shiji's relative, dressed as a man and put on a peerless human skin mask, deceiving everyone who had seen her.Her trip to Panlong Restaurant today also went through ideological struggle.Due to the one-year appointment with Ouyang, she didn't want to go there, but there was always a voice in her heart that wanted her to go and see it with her own eyes. After all, this was the first time that her sweetheart had emerged in the city.This trip did not disappoint her. Although she was pretending to be the guard of Ou Dudu, she squeezed into the crowd to watch from the beginning. She had never seen the ribbon-cutting and unveiling, and she was both happy and sour when they all entered the building after the governor came.The person who loves Xixi seems to have infinite means, not to mention the military experts, but also has many new ideas for the merchants. Even after the governor Xu Shiji was paid homage by all the officials and celebrities and Ouyang himself, she was recruited by Xu Shiji. The first-order dishes in the independent private room, the dazzling array of dishes with all the colors, flavors and flavors almost rolled her tongue into her stomach.The sad thing is that Di Xue can drive to congratulate in a fair and aboveboard manner, but she can only hide her face and pretend to be a bodyguard. She is both a woman and has the same love. Why is the situation as different as heaven and earth?

Xu Shiji smiled and looked at the eldest Sun Linling who was standing there in a daze, but his heart was a little touched.The reason why he agreed to let her go was to create an opportunity for the two of them, but this niece even put on a human skin mask, which made it clear that he didn't want Ouyang to see her true face, so he had no choice but to give up. "Idiot..." Xu Shiji murmured softly, his eyes filled with love.

"Girl, didn't you pester me to go to death before? How come it's like losing your soul?"

This sentence awakened the elder Sun Linling from her contemplation, and she gave Xu Shiji a coquettish look, sat down in the study Hu Deng and said, "Uncle Xu, if you used such words to coax me a few times before, maybe it would work." , but now it is a cliché, can't you use another way to coax me?"

Xu Shiji laughed out loud. Since Changsun Linling could speak like this, he would not be entangled in emotional matters and lose his judgment, so he was a little relieved.

"You can't say that. Uncle Wei has always stood by your side from the beginning to the end. He has always waved the flag for you. There is hard work without credit. You hurt my old heart by saying that!"

"Tch, save yourself, from a gentry to a pawn, until you unify the water and soil, your skin is probably thicker than the city wall, and your heart, even a battering hammer can't break it! It even hurt your body Old heart..." After all, Xu Shiji's words had some effect, and Changsun Linling laughed "giggling", with a lot of naughty words in his words.When she was young, she had a lot of contact with Xu Shiji, she was her uncle and nephew, and her relationship was strong. Now she was appointed by the court to take charge of some secret affairs in Jinyang, and she spent a lot of time in contact with the governor, and her relationship has deepened a bit.Therefore, she has always been straightforward with Xu Shiji, saying some witty words is harmless, but it adds to the happy atmosphere.

Xu Shiji smiled and sat down, not wanting to say anything more.If I say a few more words, I don't know how many sharp words will be exchanged for this niece.He took a sip from the teacup, swallowed bitterly, and said helplessly: "It is easy to go from extravagance to frugality, but difficult to go from frugality to extravagance. The ancients did not deceive me, but today I sat in that kid's restaurant for more than an hour. After coming back, the tea was hard to swallow. Girl, you..."

Before Xu Shiji finished speaking, Chang Sun Linling got up with a soft "hum" and took out a palm-sized exquisite porcelain vase from his arms. There were two words "fire burning" cast on the porcelain vase, which is one of the few in Panlong Restaurant today One of the best special offerings - only the number of palms can offer this wine, and Xu Shiji had three bottles on the table.One of the bottles was unpacked and drunk, and the remaining two bottles were put away by Chang Sun Linling under the pretext of "thinking about people when they see things".Changsun Linling already knew that the governor was good at wine, and he knew from the half-talk he had just said that his wine worm was moving again, and that it was his idea to get these two bottles of top-quality wine.

"Just this one bottle, and you should drink it sparingly. You have also heard from him that this wine has been made in less than ten bottles, but it is a product of hundreds of thousands of refinements. If you drink it all up, don't hit me again. What an idea!" Chang Sun Linling lightly placed a bottle of top-quality "Huoshao" on the low table in front of the governor, and was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something, and turned around to fetch a set of wine warming utensils on the table beside her.

"No need, girl, it's not like you haven't tasted it. This wine is sweet in the mouth and fragrant afterwards, but it really burns the internal organs like a fire when it enters the stomach. After warming the wine, it loses its flavor."

As soon as Xu Shiji tried to dissuade her, Eldest Sun Linling couldn't help nodding her head in agreement after thinking about how she tasted it, so she just took a small porcelain cup and filled it up for Xu Shiji.

As if Xu Shiji was really reluctant to drink, the first cup was actually a slow drink, and after tasting enough, he would make a "sizzling" sound from time to time.He glanced at Sun Linling, who was slightly sleepy, and said with a wry smile: "I had conflicts in my heart when I agreed to Ouyang to go to Yunzhong that day. You must know that Ouyang boy brought me a sense of surprise that I have never had in many years. Me and him After meeting by chance, I learned about Ouyang Shiqi from Ge Ye, and I have paid attention to him since then. Up to Pansong Mountain to suppress the bandits, and then to the case hand-picked by the emperor, he has completed it extremely well. Later in the army, he was like a fish in the ocean, and there were so many things that surprised me. He is only nineteen this year, and it is foreseeable that he must be the most elite member of my army in the future of the Tang Dynasty. But Knowing that the emperor was trapped in the small city in the clouds, he had no choice but to agree to the action of him and his special brigade entering the city to rescue the siege. To be honest, I didn't even have any confidence at first. I only hoped that he would retreat and save everything Life has been sharpened and useful, but I didn’t expect him to hit the vital point with a single knife as usual, and he solved the siege in the cloud in a day. I shouldn’t tell you, he is already in the heart of the emperor!”
