The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 134 Good News

The two were chatting and laughing while they were busy, when Lu Er Er suddenly opened the half-open cellar door and greeted, "Xiaomi, Uncle Chen is here, I want to talk to you."

"Hey, here we come. Why is Uncle Chen here? It's such a cold day, and it's not time to settle the vegetable payment?"

Xiaomi was puzzled. Previously, the villagers suddenly got money from selling vegetables, and they were almost crazy with joy. They were looking forward to the return of vegetable money from the city every day.After a long time, when there was a bottom in the money box, I felt some trouble, so I settled with the city every three days.

Sometimes a few knives were sent back, and sometimes it was the steward of the Chen family who came to pick up the food and help carry it.

Just finished the settlement yesterday, and shopkeeper Chen came to the door again today, obviously there is something to discuss.

Xiaomi washed his hands in a hurry, left Chu Chu to look at the cellar, and then went back to his yard.

It's rare that Father Lu went out for a walk today, and he wasn't buried in his pile of books.Talking with shopkeeper Chen at this moment, the two old relatives talked about their children who went to the south to build a workshop.

Xiaomi poured himself a cup of hot tea and drank it. Seeing that the old brothers were talking happily, he interjected and asked, "Did uncle know that I will be stewing braised pork later, and that's why he came up the mountain?"

Shopkeeper Chen laughed loudly and didn't respond. Finally, he took an envelope from his sleeve and asked mysteriously, "Guess what I sent?"

Xiaomi rolled her eyes and asked pleasantly, "Is there a letter from Kyoto?"

After finishing speaking, she was about to go forward to take the envelope, but unfortunately shopkeeper Chen blocked it with one hand.

Xiaomi scolded and stomped her feet, "Uncle, why are you so fussy with me, a little girl? Just now, my niece was rude. I will cook a pot of braised pork in a while, and then heat up a pot of good wine for uncle, and have a few drinks with my father, okay?" ?”

"It's almost there!"

Shopkeeper Chen likes to tease Xiaomi the most. Now that his daughter is away from home, she treats Xiaomi like her daughter even more, so she let go of her when she sees her like this.

Xiaomi hurriedly opened the letter, read the ten lines at a glance, and held a thick stack of bank notes, almost jumping up for joy, "They said that there was gold everywhere in the capital, so they were right. This restaurant has only opened a few days ago. Oh my god, I actually earned so much money. But I, Brother Chen, is still very good. I can gain a firm foothold in Kyoto. I don’t know how much I can thank you for your hard work. When we get together during the Chinese New Year, I will definitely toast Brother Chen with a glass of wine.”

There is no father in the world who doesn't like his son being praised.What's more, it has always been the pride of shopkeeper Chen that his son went out alone to break into the world.Hearing what Xiaomi said now, he was even more delighted from ear to ear.

"Oh, don't be polite to my family. It's because your cooking method is novel. Even the nobles in Kyoto can't stop being tired of eating meat all day long. The hot pot is novel and delicious, how can the business not be good?"

Xiaomi held up the banknote in his hand, and said with a smile, "Brother Chen is just in time. These days, I thought it would be uneconomical to only sell vegetables to restaurants. It would be better to open a hot pot restaurant too. If I don't want Brother Chen, I will send my capital here , Uncle Chen will help me find a good shop in the next few days, and let’s taste what it’s like to make money every day. Brother Chen from the province will come back to show off with us during the Chinese New Year, and let’s compete with him.”

"Okay, ambitious."

Shopkeeper Chen has been in business since he was a child, and earning money has become a hobby. Hearing what Xiaomi said, he couldn't sit still.

"Yesterday I really heard that a restaurant is going to sell cash. Their business was mediocre at first, but now everyone buys green vegetables from our mountains. They can't afford them, and the business is even worse. Why don't I go talk about it and start a hot pot?" The store is just right."

"Oh, uncle, don't be in a hurry, wait for me to stew braised pork, and you will have a drink with my father before you leave."

Xiaomi stayed, and called Aunt Jiang to help prepare the pork belly, and hurried to cook.Shopkeeper Chen couldn't wait, he waved his hands and said, "Braised pork can be eaten anytime, but good shops can't wait. I'll go back right away. When the hot pot sells well, let's have a celebration wine."

"Okay, then I'll ask my second brother to take you back."

Seeing that he couldn't keep anyone, Xiaomi called Lu's second son to wear a coat to drive shopkeeper Chen back.It must be difficult to walk on the road because there has just been a light layer of snow.The driver of Lu's family is a boy, young, if a wheel breaks on the road, it will be troublesome.

Shopkeeper Chen didn't reject Xiaomi's arrangement either. Elderly people like the younger generation to be caring and filial.

Laoxiongling Eighteen Households is a family, and Xiaomi didn't deliberately hide it, so at night, almost every household knew that the restaurant in Kyoto had made a lot of money, and Xiaomi was going to open a restaurant selling hot pot in Fucheng.

As a result, the young people who were left at home by their parents before became more thoughtful and came to the door to inquire.

Xiaomi had been thinking about manpower while stewing braised pork. If the new restaurant were to be replaced, it would definitely not be able to use all the original staff of the restaurant.There may be many reasons for losing money in business, but personnel is definitely the place where problems gather.

If they all stay, firstly, they are afraid that these slaves will bully the master, and secondly, they are afraid that bad habits will continue and bring hidden dangers to business.

But it can't leave everyone alone, after all, no one is familiar with Xindui's shop.

In this way, the best thing to do is to keep the restaurant handpicked and fill up a part by yourself.

Xiaodao has opened a grocery store these days, after experience, he looks like a shopkeeper, and he is barely competent to take care of the restaurant. Of course, he needs more help from the shopkeeper Chen on weekdays. As for the waiter in the lobby and the back kitchen, he also needs his own staff take care of.

Calculated in this way, four or five people will always be sent to the new restaurant.

It happened that there were enough young people who came to check on the news. Seeing them laughing non-stop while looking at the braised pork on the table, Xiaomi asked Aunt Jiang to fetch a big pottery bowl, filled it with white rice, poured a few spoonfuls of braised pork on it, and invited them to serve Eat and talk.

In addition to planting crops this year, the young people have been repairing canals, building yards, guarding the mountain gate, and have been eating the Lu family's big pot of rice, but now they are used to it.

After eating and drinking enough, before wiping off the grease on the corners of her mouth, she looked eagerly at Xiaomi, for fear that she would not allow them to go to the new restaurant.

Every household has a family member, so Xiaomi can't do it better, so he said, "If the uncles in the family agree, the brothers will go to the city to help Brother Xiaodao open a restaurant."

Several young people cheered happily, threw away the pottery bowl and ran home in a hurry.

Everyone in the world has selfish intentions, and the older the elderly, the more they like to keep their children and grandchildren by their side.Previously, the village divided people to build workshops in the south, and went to Kyoto to grow vegetables and open restaurants.These families were reluctant to part with their sons and left their sons at home.

Seeing the fire in the restaurant in Kyoto now, and hearing that the workshop in the south was successfully opened, these families regretted it a little.

Jade can't be cut, how can a good young man grow into an indomitable man without going through wind and rain?
So, when the younger generations went home and talked about it, they immediately got the support of their parents.

They couldn't even wait for the next day, so they carried their packages and walked through the night that night, rushing into the city for the last quarter of an hour to go to Xiaodao.

The left wave and the right wave are divided out, and the village will inevitably become quieter.Naughty boys, usually tease cats and dogs, and get slapped on the buttocks by the old lady.Now my old lady can't wait for them to make some noise all day long.

Fortunately, there are still a few girls in the village. Every morning, they go to Lu's house to learn needlework and bookkeeping with Aunt Han, and occasionally talk about the rules and secrets of the rich family. Grow up quickly.

Shopkeeper Chen was born as a businessman, and Chen Xin often wrote letters to his father about the business in Kyoto, and almost all the restaurants in the prefecture city were sold in the same way as in Kyoto.

However, it opened in seven or eight days, which is different from the initial crowd in Kyoto.Nowadays, the green vegetables in Laoxiongling and the face of shopkeeper Chen are all precious things in Fucheng.

I heard shopkeeper Chen helped Lu's family open a restaurant, not to mention others, all the fellow shopkeepers came first to find out the truth.

Needless to say, after a meal, when they got out of the restaurant, everyone looked at each other and shook their heads and sighed.

This winter, I am afraid that their business will be greatly reduced.

People are more dead than people, and goods are thrown away.

In terms of intelligence, they are not as good as the Lu family, and in terms of food, they are not as novel and delicious, so they have to give in if they are not reconciled.

Fortunately, with the blessing of new dishes, no matter how bad the business is, it will be better than before. The most important thing is that hot pot is also a seasonal business. It is booming in winter, but it will plummet in spring.After all, no one likes to eat in a charcoal basin while sweating profusely in summer.

Thinking about it this way, everyone was psychologically balanced.

So, soon, the new restaurant became popular in the whole prefecture. Although it was a little less than the daily progress in Kyoto, it was definitely a good deal.

Today, all the greenhouses are served like eyeballs by villagers, young and old. The mushrooms in the cellar are taken care of by Liu Dashi, the workshop has stopped production, and the restaurant has shopkeeper Chen and a small knife.The naughty boys study with Father Lu, while the girls are taught by Aunt Han.

Instead, when Xiaomi was idle, the family often went to the village for a stroll, and when there was nothing to do in the village, they went home for a stroll.

When he was busy, Xiaomi thought about sleeping in for a few days, but now he feels uncomfortable again.

Of course, she didn't want to admit that she was alone.

Because of loneliness, I miss that person even more crazily, the person who has not heard from him since he left.

But a girl's family couldn't talk about the man, so she became more silent.

The hunters have always been careless, how could they understand the girl's mind so much, and saw that Xiaomi was getting weaker by the day, so they drove Uncle Bi to prescribe medicine for Xiaomi, which made Xiaomi dumbfounded.

In addition to Lu's father who spends all day in the pile of books in the Lu family, there is only Lu's second son who is nervous and can run horses. From time to time, he would go into the mountains and forests to harm the hibernating beasts with his master.Xiaomi doesn't have to worry about him being injured, or that he is cold and hungry.

And Qinghua Qingyu is young and ignorant, only Aunt Jiang and Aunt Han can guess one or two, but as two hired workers, it is not easy to persuade them.

As a result, Xiaomi lost weight as soon as he saw it...

On this day, the sky was dark very early, needless to say, another heavy snow was about to fall at night.

Xiaomi tidied up the kitchen, went back to the backyard, suddenly felt that something was wrong with her, so she stopped, thought for a while and asked in a low voice, "But is there someone?"
