Chapter 50 51: Kimchi (2)

Standing beside the old man with a smile on his face, he raised his head and said, "Grandpa, can the price be cheaper?"

Hearing the words, the old man pulling the cart shook his head hastily: "No, no, you can't make a lot of spare money by pulling the cart on weekdays." The old man is old, and there are not many people in his family. The old lady went early, but the grandchildren were lively and lovely.

The income is not much, although it is just enough to control the food and drink, but it is not rich, and the boys can't eat meat a few times a year, and the old man feels distressed.

The family has an ox cart, which was brought from the countryside when they came to the city. They are usually idle, and the old man can't sit still at home, so he just comes out to pull light goods for others, earning a couple of spare money.

However, there is really not much work, and naturally there is not much money.

But Lin Xiang said: "Well, if you can make it cheaper, we will let you come to our restaurant's food and dishes in the future—"

Lin Xiang had this trouble before.

It is very troublesome for Ah Fu and Han Cui to go out to buy vegetables in restaurants, and you can't buy a lot at one time. If you go to the side of the market to find a cart to pull the goods, the price is extremely expensive.Most of the people pulling the carts are young and strong guys, and they are also extremely winking at people.

The old man's asking price is not high, three copper coins for one shipment.

The distance from the market to their restaurant is not close, it takes about half an hour to walk, and it is not easy to carry a lot of vegetables in your hand.

Lin Xiang could tell that the old man was an honest person, and Ah Fu and Hancui had good eyesight.

Sure enough, hearing what Lin Xiang said, the old man's eyes lit up, and the expression on his face softened a little.

the end.The old man complied with Lin Xiang's request.

Naturally, Lin Xiang didn't dare to make more guarantees for the extra big talk, because after all, she is not the owner of this restaurant, but Lin Xiang said: "Three times a week, our restaurant must buy food, and there are a lot of things to buy at that time. , if you can’t pull it back, I will definitely go to you.”

Although Hancui and Ah Fu would go shopping in the morning, most of the things they sold were things that needed to be used in time. If they really bought a lot, they would have to wait until the time of the market.

three times!

Hearing this, the old man couldn't help swallowing.

I can't help but start counting how much money I can make in my heart!

In the end, the old man was naturally full of smiles.

"If it's a heavy item, the price will be calculated separately, if it's a light item, it's worth a trip!" Lin Xiang finalized.

Ah Fu and Han Cui looked at the interaction between Lin Xiang and the old man with some doubts while unloading things from the old man's ox cart.

"Success!" Finally, the old man agreed!

Lin Xiang smiled, took out two copper coins from his pocket and handed them to the old man.

Two copper coins, not too much, not too little, if the price of a trip is cheap, it will inevitably make people feel that they have suffered a disadvantage, but... three times a week, for an old man who can't find a job, he can get six coins a week It's really not easy to make money.

In the market on weekdays, the carts are all young and strong young men, how can anyone look for an old man like him?
After calculating, his son's salary is only about 20 Wen a month, and he can earn more than [-] Wen for a few trips. With such a calculation, how can there be any disapproval?

After all the things were moved, the old man left with a smile on his face.

Lin Xiang felt that he had made a profit, so he said this to Feng Ming when he turned around.

Feng Ming frowned first.

Seeing this, Lin Xiang was nervous at first, thinking that Feng Ming disagreed with her decision to do so privately, and couldn't help being a little scared, because the minimum monthly payment of 24 Wen was not paid by her.

However, before she had time to worry, Feng Ming stretched his brows and said, "Originally, I also thought about this matter. The restaurant opens early on weekdays, and when Ah Fu and Han Cui go, they will be alone." Shichen, sometimes guests come but can't eat, it's really annoying."

This kind of situation has happened in the past, that is, after Ah Fu and Han Cuicai came back from shopping, there are often a few customers who can't wait to leave to go to work.

Such a situation made Feng Ming very annoyed, but after much deliberation, the best way was to hire an ox cart.

Most of the people who pull the carts ask for a lot of money. From the market to the restaurant, they actually open Siwen in one trip!
Feng Ming was naturally reluctant to part with it. After such a calculation, nearly sixty Wen silver coins slipped away in a month——

"Just do it."

The price of the bullock cart that Lin Xiang was looking for was halved, but Feng Ming could still pay for a mere [-] Wen. Besides, if the vegetables were bought earlier in the morning, there would probably be more customers.

Lin Xiang wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

……

Ah Fu and Han Cui pulled a large number of dishes and jars into the kitchen.

Lin Xiang first directed the two to divide the things, and then took advantage of the early morning, because A Fu and Han Cui came back early after ordering the ox cart, they started to process the pickles.

"The hot water needs to be boiled, and it must be allowed to cool down!" Lin Xiang frowned, and hurriedly stopped Hancui who was about to put cabbage into the boiling hot water.

Han Cui stuck out her tongue, and quickly withdrew her busy hand.

"Ah Fu, be careful when adding salt. If you put too much salt, the kimchi won't be sour." Lin Xiang moved to Ah Fu's side and said carefully.

I saw Ah Fu turned his palm to the side, reduced the amount of salt on the spoon, and then added it to the clear water in the crock——

After the cabbage and radish were quickly washed and cut by Lin Xiang and Ah Fu, they were drained as much as possible.

So busy here, Lin Xiang is already a big man with a full head.

She stood up, wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead with her hand, and said with a smile: "You two don't work too hard. It's been a morning and I haven't eaten anything. The door is about to open. Eat something first, otherwise I won't be able to bear it for a while."

As soon as Lin Xiang finished speaking, Ah Fu and Han Cui began to feel hungry in their stomachs.

Busily stopped what they were doing, Han Cui and Ah Fu stood up, and went to the side to wash their hands.

Lin Xiang added cabbage and shredded radish to the hot oil pan——

"Zizi la la" stir-fry, the whole kitchen was immediately filled with smoke.

I squeezed a little minced pork, added it to the oil pan, waved the spoon——

In an instant, the smell of pork and vegetables wafted out.

On one side there were long-cooked thick noodles, Lin Xiang grabbed a few handfuls and threw them into the frying pan——

"Crackling——" the erupting oil star sprayed out, and the fragrance was everywhere.

Onion, garlic, sauce --

The spoon was flipped back and forth a few times, but it only took a moment, and the fried noodles with crystal oil, fragrance and light brown came out of the pan——
