Chapter 36: Opening

On the sixteenth day of the lunar month, although he was studying until the early hours of the morning last night, Xu Jin still got up early in the morning, because he was moving today, and Xu Jin was also preparing for a trial opening this afternoon. Now that he doesn't have much money in his hand, he has to rely on that small shop for a period of income for a period of time, so Xu Jin has to be cautious.

Everything is pre-planned, and if you don't prepare, you will be wasted, shopping malls are like battlefields, Xu Jin has never fought unprepared battles, so during the time when he was waiting for Old Man Yu to vacate the house, he had already found someone to renovate the storefront, replace it with new tables, stools and tableware, etc., as long as he moved his home this morning, he could open his shop in the afternoon.

The diligent little girl had already gotten up before dawn, and after cooking breakfast, she even bought haggis and radish and other ingredients, and was packing her luggage at this time.

"Xianggong, you studied until late at night last night, why did you get up so early, you fell ill again!" Xie Xiaowan took the clothes and put them on for Xu Jin.

Xu Jin said with a smile: "Xianggong is exercising every day now, and his body is much better than before, so he is so easy to get sick, and besides, he has to move today, how can he do it if he doesn't get up to help, he will be distressed if he is tired of my mother!" ”

Xie Xiaowan glanced at Xu Jin coquettishly, and a layer of red clouds appeared on her little face. During this time, the food is good, the little girl is obviously plump, the complexion is no longer the slightly black and yellow when I first saw it, and the cheeks on both sides are the girl's unique pink blush, which is more beautiful, and the eyes are big and bright.

Xu Jin couldn't help but reach out and pinch Xie Xiaowan's face, which was slippery, the latter glanced at Xianggong shyly, turned around and brought hot water to wash Xianggong's face.

Alas, O depravity!

Xu Jin finished washing under Xie Xiaowan's service, jogged in the small courtyard for half an hour as usual, and then read in the morning, as the so-called plan of the year lies in the spring, and the plan of the day lies in the morning, the morning is the best memory time, how can it be wasted.

After eating breakfast, Xu Jin found the landlord to clear the house, although he only lived for about ten days, the rent paid was definitely not refundable, but the deposit of 200 yuan was returned.

Fortunately, there are not many items at home, so I spent ten cents to hire a porter, and sent all the items to the house in the West Market by board car after a few round-trips.

This house is much larger than the original rental, more spacious and bright, the key is still your own house.

Xie Xiaowan was so excited that she ran in and out like a bird, since she sold the fields in Xujia Village and moved to the county seat, the little girl has actually been very worried in her heart, worried that she will not be able to stand in the county seat in the future, and there is no way back in the village.

And now that she has bought a house in the county seat, and there is a shop, life is full of hope, and the little girl is naturally happy, and happiness is written on her little face.

Xu Jin stood in the courtyard, smiling at Xie Xiaowan, who was tidying up her new home, her heart was full of warmth, and at the same time she was a little trance, after more than five hundred years of time and space, she had a home in the Ming Dynasty, and there was still her at home, I don't know how the family on the other side of time and space is doing now?

In fact, before Xu Jin crossed over, the old father in the family had left a few years ago, and he walked very peacefully, at the age of eighty and one, and his normal life was over, and a pair of children had already become married, and the family property left behind was enough for them to live a rich life for a lifetime, so Xu Jin had nothing to worry about for the family on the other side of time and space.

The sun was rising higher and higher, and the sun had dispelled the chill a little, and the light snow that had fallen yesterday had long since melted.

Xu Jin waved his fist at the rising sun in the sky, living in the present, he has someone to protect in this life, and he should work hard to live better.

……

Opposite the small shop is the branch of Hengfeng Che Ma Xing, I heard that the backstage energy is very large, almost monopolizing the transportation business of the entire Jiangxi territory, including freight and passenger transportation.

Recently, as the end of the year approaches, the business of the carriage and horse shops has become more prosperous, some people have returned to their hometowns by horse-drawn carriages, and agricultural products from the surrounding towns have been continuously transported to the city.

Yan Laofeng is an old coachman in the carriage and horse shop, today just from the nearby township pulled a large cart of winter cabbage back, after unloading the goods has been past noon, hungry he walked out of the car dealership, habitually to the opposite "Yu Ji noodle restaurant" line, ready to come to the bowl of hot broth egg noodles to ward off the cold.

However, when Yan Laofeng walked to the door and found that the door was locked, he woke up that Old Man Yu had already put the house out and moved to Jinjiang, Fujian, a neighboring province, to enjoy Qingfu.

Yan Lao shook his head abruptly, regretting that he would never be able to eat a bowl of broth and egg noodles for five cents in the future, and was about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly sniffed and said suspiciously: "What taste?" ”

At this time, bursts of tempting fragrance wafted over, and Yan Laofu, who was so hungry that his chest was close to his back, swallowed his saliva, carefully identified it, and found that the fragrance seemed to be wafting out of Yu Ji's noodle restaurant, and hurriedly walked to the door, put his nose to the crack in the door and inhaled it vigorously.

At this moment, a panel of the door of the store suddenly opened, and Xie Xiaowan was so frightened by the face that was reaching out to her that she screamed and stepped back.

Yan Laofu was also startled, and when he found that it was a little girl who opened the door, he laughed awkwardly and said, "Little girl, what is so fragrant in it?" ”

Xu Jin, who was holding a flag in the back and preparing to hang it on the storefront, lit up and realized that a customer had come to the door, opening the door to meet the customer, a good omen!

"Brother, are you planning to eat?" Xu Jin greeted him with a smile, and the person in front of him was wearing a shabby cotton jacket, his face was full of weather, and his hands were full of calluses.

Yan Laofeng looked at the store and found that the tables and stools were all new and clean, he was really a little unaccustomed to it, so he asked with a smile: "Little boss, what are you selling here, do you have noodles?" ”

"Yes, sit down inside for a while, and I'll get it for you right away, Xiaowan, pour a bowl of water for my brother!"

Soliciting guests is just a piece of cake for Xu Jin, and it is very slippery!

Yan Laofeng hesitated for a moment, but still walked into the store and picked a table next to him to sit down, but he muttered secretly in his heart, this new little boss is so young, can he make it delicious? But it smells so good, it shouldn't be bad!

Xu Jin hung a small flag with spiced haggis written on it under a lantern outside the store.

Seeing Xu Jin walking back, Yan Laofu couldn't help but ask, "Little brother, what is stewed in your pot, so fragrant?" ”

Xu Jin smiled and lifted the lid of the pot, and a pot of steaming spiced haggis was revealed, and the aroma became stronger in an instant.

Yan Laofu walked to the pot and took a look, and said in amazement: "Radish can also be cooked so fragrantly?" ”

Xu Jin smiled: "It's not as simple as a radish, this is my Xu family's unique secret five-spiced haggis, do you want to pay for a bowl?" ”

Yan Laofu swallowed his saliva vigorously, nodded and said, "Then bring me a bowl, wait...... How much is a bowl! ”

"It's not expensive, ten cents a bowl!" Xu Jin smiled.

Yan Laofu couldn't help but roll his eyes, ten cents a bowl is not expensive? How many catties of radishes can I buy for ten cents, when I am stupid!

Yan Laofu waved his hand, returned to his seat and sat down, Xu Jin didn't care, and the lid of the pot was not covered, just open like that, letting the fragrance come out.

"Hey, ten cents, no matter how fragrant Lao Tzu is, I won't eat it!" Yan Laofeng snorted coldly in his heart, but he swallowed his saliva uncontrollably, and his stomach growled.

"Little girl, how long will it take?" Yan Lao Fu urged unhappily.

"It's going to be right away!" Xie Xiaowan was the first time she was a boss lady, and she was obviously a little cramped and in a hurry.

Xu Jin walked to the stove and said warmly: "Don't worry, take your time, just do it as usual!" ”

Xie Xiaowan smiled sweetly and nodded: "Xianggong, I can do it!" ”

Xu Jin originally only planned to sell spiced haggis, but considering that this shop used to sell noodles, if it was hastily broken, he was afraid that he would lose many regular customers, so he continued to sell noodles at the same time, but he was afraid that Xiao Wan would not be able to do it alone.

The noodles were all made in the morning, and the mutton soup was also ready-made, so it didn't take long for a bowl of hot noodles to be prepared and served in front of Yan Laofu.

Yan Laofu glanced at the portion, and finally nodded with satisfaction: "The amount is enough, but I don't know how it tastes!" ”

Xu Jin confidently watched Yan Lao wilt and move his chopsticks, the soup was a mutton broth that had been boiled for several hours, adding chives and eggs, as long as the noodles were not boiled, the taste would definitely not be unpalatable.

Sure enough, Yan Laofu was obviously very satisfied with the taste, and ate a large bowl of noodles in a few bites, not even the soup left, wiped his mouth, and said, "Another bowl!" ”

Xu Jin secretly gave Xie Xiaowan a thumbs up, and the little girl's eyes suddenly smiled into crescent moon buds, and she sighed sweetly: "Wait, uncle, it'll be fine right away!" ”

Next, a few more diners entered the store, all of them ordered noodles to eat, as for the five-spice beef offal to ask the price, I heard that it cost ten cents a bowl, and they all shook their heads and waved their hands.

Xu Jin was a little depressed, but no one cared about the main products, but it was no wonder, the people who came here to eat were all low-level people, and they would earn forty or fifty yuan a day, and if you let him spend ten yuan to eat a bowl of radish, he would definitely not do it.

"Xianggong, or we'll sell noodles in the future!"

The little girl did five orders of business in a row, earning twenty-five yuan, and while kneading the dough, she smiled like a flower, which was really an easy to satisfy girl.

Xu Jin is naturally not satisfied with this, a bowl of noodles sells for five yuan, the net profit is less than a penny, and it takes more than one penny to sell two hundred bowls a day, which is too cost-effective, not to mention that it may not be able to sell two hundred bowls a day, there are no ready-made dry noodles to sell in ancient times, they are all made by themselves and flour, which is extremely time-consuming.

Therefore, Xu Jin estimated that it would be good to be able to sell 100 bowls a day, but at the end of the day, he was tired of becoming a dog, and the profit was not enough for 100 yuan.

"Brother Xu, I didn't say hello in advance when I opened today, it's too boring!"

Xu Jin was busy greeting guests, and when he looked up, he saw the Fei family brothers standing outside the door of the store with a smile, followed by two small servants, Dabao and the little maid who drove the carriage that day.

Xu Jin hurriedly and enthusiastically greeted them into the store.

"Quick, bring each of us a bowl of spiced haggis, and drool when we smell this fragrance!" Fei Mao Zhong sat down and said.
