The story of Princess Lenggong's farming

Chapter 166
Only then did Zhong Gensheng come to his senses, and said: "...Tu Niu, you are really smart. Dad can't keep up with your ideas when he gets old..."

"Father, don't let outsiders come in this backyard from now on..." Shen Sisi smiled and said, "It's hard to guarantee that someone with a heart will guess it..."

"I know that no one else comes to the backyard except my family, except General Han and General Changsheng, but they don't need to worry, they have military posts, so they don't care about such a small thing..." Zhong Gensheng said with a smile.

"That's right, just don't let people like Tian Guihua come in..." Shen Sisi sighed: "Although there are two plague gods at home, they can be regarded as the gods of town houses, and even petty thieves don't dare to come in." Come in……"

Zhong Gensheng smiled and said: "What are you mumbling about? Be careful, the general heard it. What kind of plague god? I think General Han is very good..."

While walking back, Shen Sisi didn't answer, she just muttered to herself, whoever said they were not plague gods made her worried, but they were also gatekeepers, so it's good to keep the house safe for the time being.

At least now everyone in the village knows that there is a general living in their house, who dares to make trouble.

They were talking in the backyard, and Han Ji heard it clearly, and he also heard the method of making this egg, but he secretly laughed in his heart that this girl is so heartless, but the cost is so low, she has to sell it One is between twelve and twenty, which is also...

No wonder this girl can make a fortune, she can sell it at a high price with just a little effort, but this recipe is the most valuable.

Naturally, Han Ji couldn't be interested in this kind of thing, he was just a little curious about how delicious the legendary preserved egg is.

He slowly walked down from the back mountain, looking at the things in these wooden barrels, they were dirty, could they really be eaten? !
He frowned, and smiled wryly, laughing that he was worrying too much, which time this girl made food and didn't swallow the tongue he ate?Worried about what to do with this.Too much.

After thinking for a while, he went back into the forest to practice his arm strength.

Because the lotus leaves are flourishing recently, I meditated at noon and made lotus leaf glutinous rice to eat. The glutinous rice is sticky and has the fragrance of lotus leaves. It is really delicious.

It's a pity that the lotus leaves will be lost soon. Although this one can be dried and preserved, but Shen Sisi is concerned that there are not many lotus leaves just planted. He is afraid that the lotus leaves underneath will be destroyed, so he didn't get them. He only thought about growing the lotus roots next year. There are many lotus leaves, and when there are more lotus leaves, they are dried in the sun. It is also very fragrant to steam rice in winter.

In the afternoon, the family was slaughtering pigs, so shopkeeper He from Fumanlou brought two carriages over, and seven or eight people got out of the carriages. Looking at the big yard of Zhong's house, he sighed. Shopkeeper He said with a smile : "Two, please follow me..."

The two businessmen in fine clothes smiled and said, "Shopkeeper He, I'm sorry to trouble you..."

"Don't dare, don't dare, I happen to be free, and I also want to visit Zhong's house, but just by the way..." Shopkeeper He walked in, and said, "Is the native girl of Zhong's house here?!"

When Tu Niu saw someone coming, she smiled and said, "So it's Shopkeeper He, this is?!"

The two people in the back were still very surprised to see such a girl. Although they had heard shopkeeper He said that the head of the Zhong family was a girl who was only nine years old on the way, they were really surprised when they saw it, but they quickly stopped. Got up, just smiled and said: "We both came from the capital, we heard about the hot pot business in Tianxianglou, so we found out here, and came here just because of the name..."

"You two also want to open a hot pot restaurant?!" Shen Sisi saw shopkeeper He bringing someone over, looked it over, and actually knew it in his heart.

"Exactly..." The two replied with a smile.

Shen Sisi smiled and said: "Although the border town is not far from the capital, there are still many roads. Why do you work so hard to come here?!"

The two looked ashamed, and one said: "Speaking of it, we are actually brothers, and the latter are our servants. Originally, we opened four Fulai restaurants in the capital. The business is also good, and the family business is getting better and better. When I grow up, I don't know that joy begets sorrow, and suddenly a new restaurant pops up, the food business is very good, gradually the business is not as good as before, even the cook ran away, the cook is the root of the restaurant, for a while we brothers She was also frowning, helpless, and later a friend who was away from relatives came from the border town and heard that there was such a hot pot restaurant in the border town, so she rushed over here without hesitation, the little girl must..."

As they said that, both of them looked a little sad, thinking that they had been squeezed miserably, and they probably lost money every day, so they came with a glimmer of hope.

Another brother said: "I heard that the business model of this hotpot restaurant is different from other restaurants. It doesn't need a cook. The restaurant is maintained by the cook, but the cook is jumping around, so the business is naturally unstable, so this is why I drove away." Come here, thinking about opening this hot pot restaurant, you don’t need a skilled cook to open it, you just need to buy the base ingredients, is that right?!”

Shen Sisi smiled and said: "Of course, you two sit in the main room, let's talk slowly..."

Shopkeeper He smiled and brought gifts together and entered the main room together. Not only did Shopkeeper He buy presents, but the two of them were obviously very nervous, and brought a lot of gifts from the capital. , but the momentum is not weak, and the words are even more impressive, and I feel even more uneasy.

Shen Sisi also called Sibao, and Sibao took the account book on the side, his face was light, obviously he had the temperament of a scholar, he is well-raised and strong now, he is no longer the thin and dirty boy he used to be, He has a fair face and clear eyes, and he looks like a shrewd person.

The two of them were even more apprehensive.

"Two noble surnames?!" Shen Sisi said lightly.

"Miangui's surname is Wang..." the leader sitting humanely said.

"Shopkeeper Wang, do you have four restaurants?!" Shen Sisi asked with a smile.

"Yes."

"They all want to be a hotpot restaurant?!" Shen Sisi said.

The two brothers nodded, and said again: "To tell you the truth, the chefs of the four restaurants have been poached at high prices. If we can't hire a chef, we will close down soon, but we really don't want to. After all, we have been in business for many years. Hey, so we I just want to be a hot pot restaurant, and I don’t want to be idled by the cook anymore..."

"Well, let's follow the rules. The contracts are all ready-made. You can read it and sign it. But I have a few points that I want to talk about..." Shen Sisi said with a smile.

The two said anxiously, "Please tell me."

"First, our cooking workshop has not been completed yet, and we can't supply so many base materials now, so it may not be available until the end of the year. Is this possible?!" Shen Sisi whispered.

The two brothers nodded and said cruelly: "We can wait, it's better than selling the restaurant cheap..."

"Second, my prices are all uniform prices, and this price cannot be changed. Although the price is high in the border towns, it is even cheaper in the capital city, but you have to think about it. Although the profit has become lower, there are more people. , the profit is still high, even more profitable than the border town, can the population of the border town compare with that of the capital?!"

Shen Sisi smiled and said: "You guys have to think clearly..."

"Okay." The two agreed through gritted teeth.

"Third, even if you have four restaurants, before opening, I hope you will redecorate according to my method, do a good job of publicity, and strive for a hit..." Shen Sisi smiled and said: "This is also a win-win thing, yours The business is good, and my seasoning is also selling well, making money..."

The two immediately nodded, "This is what it should be..."

"Okay." When it comes to this step, it is naturally settled. Since the shopkeeper Cheng left last time, Shen Sisi has made a detailed brochure of the hot pot restaurant's decoration details, operation methods, and publicity methods. Bao brought it together with the contract, and said with a smile: "...you take a closer look, the most important thing for a hot pot restaurant is to be fast, with more tables, more waiters, more clever responses, more efficiency, and more expensive sales. The delicious dishes, these are the key points, after careful reading, we will sign the contract..."

"Okay..." The two hurriedly picked it up and looked at it. The more they watched, the more pleasantly surprised they were. They had also seen this grand event in Tianxianglou in the border town and Fumanlou in the county town. Coupled with this detailed explanation, they understood immediately. I just felt my blood boiling, and said: "...we understand, we must do what the girl wants."

"Okay, if there is no objection, let's sign the contract. You are the only one in the capital, but if it is possible in the future, I also hope that you can expand the scale and open more stores. The capital is rich, and the price is not expensive. The surname can afford it, and the business is very good..." Shen Sisi said with a smile.

The two brothers immediately began to sign the contract happily. They didn't expect it to go so smoothly. The main thing is to admire this girl's careful thinking, basically everything that should be considered has been considered.

After signing the calligraphy, painting, deposit, and paying the deposit, Shen Sisi smiled and said: "Let's temporarily set the opening date on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Before that, you have to get everything done, decoration, tables, staff, pots, dishes... …Wait, don’t be in a hurry. When you arrive on the first day of the twelfth lunar month, our family will definitely supply the bottom material, and you will come to pull it.” Shen Sisi smiled and said: “The journey is long, I’m afraid you two will also send more people , suffer more..."

"We must come on time..." The two said happily, and agreed to pay a deposit of 1000 taels. Shen Sisi didn't care too much, and didn't look at the white money. I don't think this girl is extraordinary.

No wonder such a business can be done.

Shen Sisi smiled and said: "Besides the capital city, if there are other cities that want to join, I would like to see the introductions from the two shopkeepers. The more the better..."

"Definitely..." The two laughed.

Shen Sisi smiled, there is nothing wrong with border towns, as long as it opens in the capital, the news will spread faster, and the business of her hot pot franchise store and base ingredients is probably going to bloom steadily.

She smiled joyfully and said, "Let's go after you two have finished your meal. Shopkeeper He will also have a meal here. I still have business to discuss with you..."

"Okay..." Since shopkeeper He came, he was not in a hurry to go back. Now his business was in order and on the right track, so he didn't need to keep an eye on him all the time.

Now he is quite free, but the county is too small to open a family. He is worried about starting a family in another county, but he is also worried that people who are not familiar with the place will be bullied, afraid of trouble, so he can only give up.

Sibao put away the ledger and the contract, and handed it to Shen Sisi. Shen Sisi read the ledger and found that there was no discrepancy, so he handed it to him, and only put the contract and money into the space.

Dinner was naturally the same as yesterday's dishes, but even though it was summer, because shopkeeper Wang and the others came, she still made a hot pot, which contained stewed pork bones, some side dishes, and a pot of pickled fish, salted duck eggs, and lotus leaves. The chicken, as well as some home-cooked dishes, really look better than the dishes in the restaurant.

Han Ji also wore casual clothes, did not disclose his identity, and did not mind eating at the same table with these businessmen, but he was sitting at the head of the table, and no one dared to be presumptuous, coupled with his majestic aura, no one dared to talk to him .

It's just that the shopkeeper He's eyes lit up when he saw the salted duck eggs, lotus leaf chicken and lotus leaf rice. He tasted it and said, "This, is this a duck egg?! It's delicious, but the egg yolk, why is it so delicious? Oil, how do you make it?! And what is this leaf?!"
