Time in the blink of an eye to the second day of the seventh month, early in the morning on the left and right doors of Shihui Street were covered with red cloths, on which were borrowed from the face of his uncle to ask Lord Cao Zhizhou to mention some of the two plaques, the content is naturally the three words of Shihui Street and the year, month and sunset.

Aunt Wu, Fourth Brother Zhang, Granny Long, Wang Er, Li Siniang and Gu Sanniang, who were invited to enter Shihui Street, also quit their own livelihoods, and all the guys who made food came to Shihui Street.

However, after these days of preparation, the old man finally refuted the idea of the scalper, and recruited six good families and two couples to work as domestic helpers through the Chinese, and the thirteen children were used as child laborers. The old man has such an idea, in fact, it is also right, first of all, the work of ramen is occasionally done, if you want Erniang to pull all day long, and pull one, two hundred bowls, but it will make the old man feel distressed, and the Huangjiadian can not only sell ramen, mutton soup must be boiled, mutton and haggis must be cut whole, and the side dishes with wine must also be handled. Therefore, among the newly recruited helpers, two stout men in their twenties were used as masters specializing in ramen, a couple came to cut and whole, and Erniang stared at the mutton soup side dishes, after all, the secret recipe of mutton soup is the foundation of the old Huang family.

As for the novelty food sold in the six shops in Shihui Street, there are the remaining four domestic servants and a husband and wife to support them, and the children are also small servants who do chores and welcome customers.

But when it came, it encountered a new problem, that is, how to account for the shops in Shihui Street.

The six families invited by this old man promised not to charge any fees for the first three months, and after March, if the livelihood in this food street can be done, they will collect some money every month, and the amount depends on how the six families make a living, and such conditions cannot be said to be bad.

It's just that the six families have a pimple in their hearts, that is, each family wants to meet the accounts on their own, and they don't want the old Huang family to come to the general account. According to the meaning of the old man, this food street is part of the Huang family store, whether the diners are ordering and eating in the Huang family store, or walking into the food street to sit and eat, although it should be the Huang family shop to account together, of course, the revenue of each store will be listed in the account, and it will not make each family suffer a loss.

But in fact, in addition to selling things for profit, stores in this era also have another important source of income, that is, rewards!

(PS: If you want to think it's good to read this book, don't forget to give a reward!) ）

Although there is no reward, in fact, it is the tip given by the diners, if the diners come to the Huangjiadian to ask for some meat dishes and soil roast to eat, he will throw a piece or two of the heavy broken silver as soon as he is happy, pick his teeth and say that he doesn't need to look for it, and the money will be earned.

Therefore, of course, the old man who knows the way of the door wants to grasp the right to the account and doesn't want to let go, but for the six families, although the lowest food they sell is only three or five Wen, and the high is only three or fifty Wen, they can't stand the Song people at this time who are sensible, and those who can eat on the street like to give up the extra change as a reward, so this is also a lot of money invisibly.

Fighting back and forth, in the end, Yao Erniang slapped the board, the account is still each family's own meeting, if the guest orders a few foods, he will meet the general ledger in that house, and he can't hurt everyone's harmony for this little profit.

Although the old Huang family is the old man in charge, but sometimes Yao Erniang's board is also counted, not to mention that just two days ago, Yao Erniang finally bought the two pieces of land planned by the scalpers before, east to the alley of Wumen Lane, west to the alley of the end of the street of Cai Street, as long as these twelve small food streets can be done, once Huangzhou really opens the tea and no longer closes the curfew at night, then the big food street and tile planned by the scalper must be opened, this is Dali City.

Since there are only two big fairs in Huangzhou on the third and eighteenth days of January, it is only after noon on this day, and the merchants and farmers from all over the country and eight miles to catch the market will flock to Huangzhou. After all, Huangzhou City is too small, there is only one main street in the north and south, if you wait until tomorrow when the market opens, there will be empty stalls.

And the entire snack street, including the chimney of the old Huang family's shop, also lit up fireworks under the old man's singing, in the words of the scalper, the trial operation of this Laoshizi began!

After a while, the steaming aroma of steamed pancakes and vegetables, the smell of fried meatloaf, fried fruit and fried fish, as well as the special aroma of raw meatballs in mushroom and chicken soup, fire-baked crispy buns and meat, and marinated meat barbecue spread in Huangzhou City along the river breeze from north to south in summer.

When Yao Erniang opened the lid of the stuffy pot, it seemed that God was attracted by the fragrance, and suddenly a whirlwind swayed upwards between the stoves of the old shop, and several old country men who were walking in from the south gate snorted and said: "Alas! This taste, could it be that the ancestral mutton soup of the old Huang family has been reopened? ”

Someone replied, "I'm afraid so!" A few days ago, I heard that Huang Laoqi redeemed the ancestral shop, so hurry up and eat a bowl of Lao Huang's mutton soup and noodles first. ”

When I got closer, I found that it was Mr. Huang who was wearing a new dress to greet customers in front of the door, with an old black face smiling like a flower, and he was busy inviting people to the store.

However, some people pointed to the sign covered with a red cloth on the top of the store and asked: "Strange, Huang Laoqi, you have opened the pot even if it is open, why is this door plaque still covered with red silk?" ”

Huang Lao Qian hurriedly smiled and explained: "Forgive me! Excuse me! Today is not an opening, but a soft opening. That is, try to make a pot of mutton soup for everyone to taste today, if they all say yes, tomorrow I will have the courage to open. ”

Someone immediately laughed: "What if you can't say it well? ”

The old man was not angry, and said with a smile: "I lifted the pot, and then made another pot for the big guy to taste, if it's not good, I invited everyone, how about smashing my signboard?" ”

Everyone laughed together, and someone said, "Okay! The old Huang family's mutton soup noodles Our old people in Huangzhou can be said to be from snacks to big, and now just smelling the taste knows that they will never be able to smash the signboard, Huang Laoqi first gave our family two bowls of noodles! ”

The old man replied loudly: "Okay! Two bowls of noodles in a large bowl! But I want to tell you that now in the future, my family will not sell noodles, but make a new food, and I will let you try it today! ”

After speaking, the old man walked to the edge of the store, pulled a thin rope, and then saw a sign flag planted on the side of the store door hanging down, with four words written on it "Huangzhou Ramen", the onlookers saw it, they were surprised, and someone immediately asked what kind of ramen this ramen was.
