Chapter 19: A Friend Visits
Fugui Restaurant, the three-story pavilion is decorated with golden splendor.
Chen Yuanwai would come here every afternoon, not because he didn't trust his brother-in-law, but because he had developed the habit of doing business for many years, and seeing was believing everything.
Although the meal has passed, there are still many diners sitting in the lobby, mainly ordinary people and vendors. At this time, the upstairs seemed to be very lively, and the group of scholars suddenly made a coax on it, and then there was a faint sound of a scholar chanting poetry against each other.
These scholars can toss and coax, but they are also excellent diners. From time to time, he will invite three or five confidants to drink together, drink proudly and frustratedly, and be generous and generous.
Chen Yuanwai studied in private school for a few years, and he also longed for poetry, but he only glanced up at the staircase and did not choose to go up to the second floor. It's not that I'm afraid of crushing my stairs, but I'm worried that the sun will go down the next trip.
The restaurant's ledger is a running account, and purchases and sales are recorded one by one. It's just that he has so much time to verify, so he only checks the purchase price of the ingredients, and then secretly checks the sales of the drinks.
If the wine is sold too much, the business is mostly good today, and if the wine is sold less, then it must not be satisfactory today, this is his trick to check the accounts, and he has never mentioned it to anyone.
After checking the ledger, he left with the help of the thin butler, but before getting into the sedan chair, he looked towards the street. happened to let him see Xiao Liu, who had just returned from closing the stall, and immediately asked what the restaurant had done.
He had already seen the pedantry and brainlessness of scholars, so he naturally didn't think that the young scholar could revitalize the restaurant, let alone that he could fight his old fox in the shopping mall.
It's just that because of his personality, he still asked cautiously: "Was there any movement over there just now?" ”
The thin housekeeper had already sent someone to stare at half of the restaurant, even if Chen Yuanwai didn't ask questions, he would tell him about it in a while, and now he told the whole story.
Hearing that the scholar used a very fresh method of "Guan Pu", which attracted many people to go, Chen Yuanwai shook his head disdainfully. The restaurant is talking about the word "eating", what's the use of just engaging in these vain heads, like now that the event is over, the result is that there are many people.
"Their meal isn't open, is it?" General Chen retracted his raised foot, and asked more questions with some anxiety.
"Nope! I've already said hello to the people in the East Market, as long as it's their purchase, no matter how big or small, it will be recorded! The skinny butler smiled flatteringly.
Chen Yuanwai nodded slightly, and then slowly got into the sedan chair. As long as their kitchen is stuck, even if they have the ability to reach the sky, they can only obediently close the door.
If this can make the scholar turn the tables, then it will really be a hell of a life, and he is willing to give his concubine Jin Lian to the other party.
Off-pounce?
Scholars really love to toss!
Let's toss! Wait for your silver to run out, see what you do to help Nie Yunzhu then!
Chen Yuanwai sat down in the sedan chair with difficulty, snorted coldly through his nose, and then slowly narrowed his goldfish eyes.
The four skinny palanquin men outside the sedan chair showed bitter faces, as if they were on the battlefield, and they lifted the sedan chair with a shout, and then the sedan chair sounded a rhythmic squeak.
Green Pine Inn.
This is the inn closest to the examination room, so it is very popular with the candidates, and almost all of the guests in the store are current candidates.
Although it was already afternoon, many scholars were still sitting in the lobby drinking and having fun, chatting about current affairs, scolding the current political malpractices, and expressing their pent-up ambitions and ideals.
A bearded young scholar walked in happily with a fat white goose, a strange combination that caught everyone's attention.
A fellow scholar watched him go out and brought back a big fat goose, and couldn't help but ask what was going on. The scholar was eager to find someone to talk to, so he told the whole story with high spirits.
"Get this big fat goose out of ten cents?"
The scholars sitting in the lobby didn't believe that he had exchanged ten yuan for the big white goose, but someone happened to come back from outside and helped confirm the incident.
"You only know about vulgar things like white geese, but you don't know that the pastries in the store are immortals, and there are fairies living in them." A personable boy shook his fan, and walked out with the appearance that everyone in the world was drunk and I was awake.
"I'm going to Qingyun Street to find out, who wants to go with me?"
An elderly scholar immediately made a decision, stopped his chopsticks and asked others.
At first, it was his table mates who responded, and then the other tables stood up. In the blink of an eye, the lobby of this inn was empty, and a group of students slaughtered half of the restaurant.
The dustpan is on fire!
Lin Haoran had thought that this kind of gambling merchandise sales would be sought after, but he never imagined that it would be so popular. When he and Xiaoliu carried the freshly baked dustpan out, it was already crowded outside.
This is simply a group of hungry wolves, and some people even fought in order to grab a piece of dustpan cooking, and blood was splashed on the spot. And the 300 dustpans were sold out in the blink of an eye, and some people held the "high school" sticks before they had time to claim the prize.
The scholar who won the "Xiucai" seemed very excited, scrambled into the restaurant, and even pushed Xiaoliu who accidentally blocked the way to the ground. The world is so strange, this restaurant that was originally avoided by the people of Shicheng has now become a holy place.
The jackpot was stuffed by Lin Haoran to a scholar indiscriminately, and there was really no chance for him to slowly add it back, in order to prevent his tricks from being tricked, he could only make this decision, who let him meet this group of crazy people.
Later, the income was counted, and today's operating income turned out to be 7,300 Wen. This is naturally not as much as a fraction of the Fugui Restaurant, but the profit is still considerable, after all, the cost is really not high.
Looking at such a lucrative benefit, Lin Haoran wanted to talk to Nie Yunzhu about dividends, and felt that he should at least take ninety percent of the profits. Just to maintain a perfect image in front of this woman, in the end, he still pretended to be a good person with tears in his eyes, saying that he would not take a penny.
It's just that the scene he expected didn't appear, and he didn't even have the most basic kiss reward, only a very heartwarming smile.
The women of this era are really introverted, if they are placed in their previous years, they will not be able to serve in a dragon!
But after cleaning up his mood, he still had a little excitement. What he learned in his previous life can be used in the Ming Dynasty, which proves that he still has a good future if he does business in the Ming Dynasty, and he seems to have the ability to lead the tiger girl to make a fortune together.
The blood of the remnant sun faded, and the twilight gradually soaked the old street with a tall locust tree.
After all, you still have to take into account Nie Yunzhu's reputation, especially after half of the restaurant behaves so high-profile, there will be more eyes staring at Nie Yunzhu. Therefore, in the afternoon, he asked someone to look for a place to live, and happened to find a room in a nearby inn.
The room is not big, but there are tables and chairs inside, and you can see a quiet courtyard when you open the window, and the environment is not bad. The house price is 200 wen a day, which is quite appropriate.
It's just that he moved in, and as a result, Xiao Er came to talk to him, saying that someone came to him. This made him feel very puzzled, he thought that something had fallen on Nie Yunzhu and someone sent it, but he saw another familiar face.
"Brother Lin, you made me look so hard!" Jiang Ronghua arched his hand, his eyes were full of complaints, like a deep resentful woman.
Lin Haoran was slightly stunned, and immediately remembered that he didn't give him the car money yesterday, but just listened to his tone, and looked at the expressions of the four people behind him, it didn't seem like a debt collector.
Before Lin Haoran could speak, a scholar with a big mole on his face seemed very familiar and agreed: "That's right! Where did the nerd go last night, couldn't he really sleep on the streets! ”
"Brother Zheng, you can bypass him! We all know that he has a wooden temperament and is not good at sociability, this topic ...... Stop there! Hehe......" A noble man dressed in silk and satin smiled at the other four as if he was helping Lin Haoran out of the siege.
Nima ...... Is this really Lao Tzu sleeping on the streets?
Lin Haoran complained slightly in his heart, but looking at the demeanor of these people, they were not much older than him, and it seemed that he had indeed known him before, which made him cautious.
In order not to make a fuss, he had to smile bitterly, assuming that he was the nerd who couldn't find a place to live, and then arched his hand at the crowd and invited them in.
Jiang Ronghua was a little surprised by his reaction, but he immediately seemed to understand that he was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
"Brother Lin, have you settled the insurance with someone?" As soon as the person entered the room, the young scholar with a mole on his face asked anxiously.
Lin Haoran originally wanted to shake his head, he was still worried about this matter just now, but seeing that the other scholars looked nervous on their faces, he said with a smile: "I just found it, and I plan to go to settle the insurance together tomorrow!" ”
Yes?
Hearing this, the other people were all panicked, and immediately looked at each other.
The noble boy calmed down first, and smiled at him heartily: "Brother Lin, who are you looking for to settle the insurance with?" As far as I know, there is no vacancy in our Qingshan Academy, but these five people also know that they know the bottom of the matter well, and if they settle the guarantee indiscriminately, it will hurt you for ten years. ”
