Farming in time travel can be slapped in the face

Chapter 52 Making Money

It was still dark when they arrived in the town. Shen Jiyao ordered them to prepare all the ingredients. The glutinous rice was brought with water from home, and the soy milk was ground and brought. Shen Jiyao always felt that it was a bit laborious. He planned to After he made some achievements, he would find a shop in town to grind soy milk and deliver it to him, which would make it much easier.

After all the ingredients were prepared, it was daybreak.

Pedestrians began to appear on the street, and Shen Jiyao asked Xu Rong to post the red paper with the words "Happy Opening" outside, set up tables and chairs, and began to wait for customers to come.

Shen Jiyao was very willing to spend money to build this small shop. The small shop, which is nearly three feet long and two feet wide, is very comfortable after being tidied up. The rectangular size shop uses half of the space for the kitchen and uses simple screens. It was covered up, leaving only a passage in the middle for people to pass through. There were three fire pits on the stove behind the screen. There was also a wooden cabinet behind the stove to store pots and pans, and a chair on the other side. , Xiao Doumi was sleeping wrapped in a quilt in a basket specially made for him.

Several people were sitting in the four corners of the shop. On the stove behind the screen, a rice steamer as big as two people hugged each other was steaming on the pot to keep it warm. On the other fire pit was a pot filled with water. It is used to make noodles. The last fire pit is heating the cooked soy milk. There is also an iron pot filled with oil, chopping boards and other items on the cabinet behind. Although there are many things, they are not cluttered. They are all used by Shen Ji. Yao arranged it in an orderly manner and it is clear at a glance.

Seeing that there is gradually business outside, no one comes to their store until now. Even if someone comes to see them, they always poke their heads in and take a look before leaving. Several people can no longer sit still, with a trace of anxiety on their faces. , I wanted to speak several times but couldn't bear it. Lan Qianjue sat quietly on the side, with no wave on his face, as if he was not worried. Shen Jiyao sat face to face with him, feeling anxious but not showing it. When he came out, he was quite calm, but when he saw their worried faces, no matter how calm he was, his heart began to beat. He was very confident in the food, but he was a little worried about the price.

Is it because the price is too high that no one dares to come in to eat?

Thinking of this, Shen Jiyao couldn't help but look up at the sign hanging on the opposite side of the door. Glutinous rice costs 8 cents, potato and egg pancakes cost 8 cents, mixed noodles cost 10 cents, soy milk and fried dough sticks cost 6 cents. Fried rice is more expensive. What a weirdo. Rice costs 12 yuan, egg fried rice costs 10 yuan, and everything else is about the same price. Is this really expensive? The diners couldn't accept it, so they just looked at the price and left. Shen Jiyao couldn't help but began to think that maybe it was really about the price. After all, he also had to look at the price when buying things.

He couldn't help but frowned, and when he was thinking about whether to change the price, someone entered the store.

When Xu Rong and others saw someone coming, they all stood up to greet them, but they didn't know what to say or do. They had to stand aside with a look of bewilderment, which made them feel a little abrupt.

The person who came was a fat middle-aged man. The man was holding a sword and had a fierce aura. As soon as he entered the room, Shen Jiyao stood up and greeted him. The middle-aged man looked at the hanging vegetable sign and his voice He said honestly: "What you are selling are all rare things. I have never heard of them."

Shen Jiyao smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of them. You can try them first."

The man frowned and said: "That's right. It's expensive. If it's not delicious, I'm not wasting my money."

"I won't charge you if it's not delicious." Shen Jiyao said with a sincere face, "What do you think?"

The man looked away from the sign. Shen Jiyao was stunned for a few seconds, then raised his eyebrows and said: "You are so confident, I really have to give it a try."

Shen Jiyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and made a gesture of invitation. , said: "Please sit down, Xu Rong, serve tea, what kind of snacks would you like, sir? The top row is for breakfast, and they are all eaten now."

The man looked at it, and then said: "Just some soy milk and fried dough sticks, listen. " It sounds strange."

"Okay, wait a minute." Shen Jiyao said and entered the kitchen. Lan Qianjue followed him in. Shen Jiyao was about to take the pot when he saw him coming. He smiled at him, as if he was glad that someone had finally come. Lan Qianjue felt distressed for some reason. He raised his hand and touched Shen Jiyao's head, helped him take down the pot used to cook noodles, and put the soybean oil in it. After putting the iron pot on the stand, he squatted down to add firewood and make a fire.

Shen Jiyao turned around to cut the noodles, shaped the fried dough sticks and put them aside to wait for the oil to heat up. He then went to get a bowl, put some cane sugar in it to make soy milk and put it in the bowl. Shen Jiyao was quite willing to make things, so the noodles and soybeans It's not expensive either. It only costs two yuan in total. Keeping them well fed and full is the key to repeat business.

After making the soy milk, the oil on the fire was also hot. Firewood was convenient and it heated up in a few times. He lifted the fried dough sticks into the pan and fried them. The high-heat oil fried the noodles until they swelled. Shen Jiyao skillfully Flip and fry for a while, then take it out, drain the oil, cut it into pieces, put them on a plate and take them out.

Shen Jiyao placed the plate in front of the man and said, "Try it. You can eat the soy milk with the fried dough sticks. You can also soak the fried dough sticks in the soy milk. The taste is not bad."

The man nodded and looked at it with a curious expression. After sniffing the golden fried dough sticks, he reached out and picked up a pair of bamboo chopsticks inserted in the chopstick cage and started eating.

Seven people in the room stared at the man, fearing that he would suddenly say something bad.

The man followed Shen Jiyao's instructions and just took two bites. He immediately opened his eyes and nodded appreciatively. After eating for a few times, he said: "It's really delicious!"

After hearing this, everyone finally felt relieved.

The man finished eating in a few seconds. He raised his hand and wiped his mouth, and said boldly: "It's great! No wonder the little brother is so confident. The cooking is really delicious. It seems that I have to try several other items in your store, otherwise It would be a pity to miss such a delicious food. Let's try it again. "

Shen Jiyao said, "Okay, wait."

Xu Rong felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this. He muttered to Zhang Yong with confidence: "Try everything. If you insist on saying it's not delicious, then I won't give you money."

The man has been practicing martial arts all year round, so he naturally heard what he said, and he wasn't annoyed at all. He took out a piece of silver from his pocket and put it on the table, saying: "The food I just ate tastes good, so I won't default on it. The money is right here. If you are worried, you can keep it until I finish it." It's not too late to settle the accounts. "

Xu Rong was not polite. With the money in hand, he could eat as much as he wanted. So he went up and grabbed the money with a playful smile. Seeing that the man was not annoyed, he felt relieved. .

After a while, the noodles were ready, and the man's reaction was the same as everyone else's. After eating all the food in the bowl, he sighed and said with satisfaction: "Make a portion of each of the other two items.

Shen Jiyao was very excited and said with a smile: "Okay, just wait." Lan

Qianjue stayed in the kitchen all the time. He listened clearly to the conversation outside and saw Shen Jiyao's happy face. They were very happy to come in. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and then they were busy getting two other things to eat.

There were no other diners in the shop except the man, and the five of them couldn't find anything to do. Wang Baoer couldn't sit still, so he wiped the tables and chairs over and over honestly. Several people also sat uneasily, wanting to go in and help in the kitchen. There were no less than so many people, and when we were helpless, another man and woman entered the store.

Xu Rong simply risked his life and hurriedly greeted him, smiling and saying: "Two guests, let's see what you want to eat. The shop just opened today, and the snacks are something you have never tasted before. The taste is guaranteed to be good, why don't you sit down and try it?" Taste?" Xu Rong was so nervous that he was trembling slightly, afraid of letting the two of them run away.

Several other people stood aside nervously and watched, clenching their fists for fear that someone would leave.

The woman whispered a few words to the man, and then said softly: "It's too expensive. If it doesn't taste good, wouldn't it be a loss?"

Xu Ronggang was about to assure them that the taste was absolutely delicious, but the man sitting over there, waiting for the meal, said "It tastes absolutely delicious. I had the same idea as you two just now. I have already eaten two of the four breakfast items. They are indeed delicious, and I guarantee they are things you have never eaten before."

The two of them glanced at the man. , seeing that there were indeed several bowls placed in front of him, he sat down with the mentality of giving it a try.

Xu Rong hurriedly stepped forward to pour tea for the two of them, and asked diligently: "What do you two want to eat?"

The woman looked up at the menu again, and then said, "Then order the most expensive one to try. Two bowls of mixed noodles, this name is really strange." The woman couldn't help but murmured the last sentence.

Xu Rong was so happy that he didn't expect that he had made a business worth twenty yuan! It was working. He smiled happily and said: "Okay! You two will have tea for a while. I'll be here soon." After saying that, he ran out of the kitchen and said to Shen Jiyao happily: "Shen Jiyao Brother, I want two bowls of noodles."

Shen Jiyao was making pancakes. He handed the newly made glutinous rice to Xu Rong and said, "Okay, help me bring the glutinous rice to the guests."

"Okay. Xu Rong took the glutinous rice, happily put it in front of the man and said, "The glutinous rice is ready, sir. Please use it."

The man sniffed it out of habit, and then started to eat. Just like before, he had a satisfied expression on his face.

The two people at the next table couldn't help but swallowed when they saw how deliciously he was eating, and they looked forward to it more and more.

After a while, Shen Jiyao's voice came from behind the screen: "Xu Rong, come and bring the cake."

Xu Rong hurriedly responded, ran over and took out the cake and placed it in front of the man, which inevitably put the cake aside. The two people's eyes were attracted, and the woman asked Xu Rong: "What is this called? Why does it look so strange?"

Xu Rong said hurriedly: "This is called potato egg pancake, and it is filled with lettuce and dogwood sauce. It is delicious. " Yes."

The woman nodded clearly and said to the man opposite her: "Shall we try two of them too?"

The man hesitated and said, "Let's try it first and see if it tastes good."

"Okay. "

The man here has finished eating the glutinous rice and started to eat the tightly wrapped egg pancake with chopsticks.

After a while, Shen Jiyao came out with two bowls of noodles.

He put the bowl in front of the two of them and said with a smile: "The noodles for you two are ready, please use it soon."

The woman raised her head and glanced at Shen Jiyao, and was shocked when she found out that he was a brother. After the shock, Her face gradually became ugly, she frowned, feeling very unlucky, and said unhappily: "Why is it made by a famous man? If I had known earlier, I would not have eaten it. It is really unlucky."

The man opposite her said to her. Shen Jiyao smiled apologetically and said helplessly: "Heroes don't ask where they come from. Look how good this dish looks. Eat it quickly."

Shen Jiyao was not annoyed by what the woman said. He said slowly After using it, he went to the kitchen.

Lan Qianjue pulled the wooden board in front of the fire hole to block the entrance to prevent the firewood from burning out too quickly. He stood up and leaned on the stove, looked at Shen Jiyao with a smile and said, "How are you feeling?"

Shen Jiyao stood there . Opposite him, he leaned lightly against the cabinet, curled his lips in pleasure, and said, "Although there are only two businesses, the response has been good. I am happy. Doing my own business feels like a pleasure. I always want to be busier."

Lan Qianjue looked at him fondly and smiled, and said: "Leave the affairs of the fields to me in the future. As long as there is nothing in the fields, I will come and work with you. If there is a busy farming season, any of them can do whatever they want." It's okay to call two people to help you, and leave Xiaodou Mi to me. You can do your thing in peace."

Shen Jiyao nodded and said, "That's okay, don't work too hard."

"It's okay, I am. "Properly."

Shen Jiyao hummed, and just as he was about to speak, the sound of gongs and drums came closer from far away. The two looked at each other, and Lan Qianjue said, "I'll look at Doumi, don't worry. He woke up."

When Shen Jiyao was bored, Xu Rong came over and shouted happily: "Brother Shen, the two guests want to order two soy milk and fried dough sticks."

"I know," Shen Jiyao responded. Pull out the wooden frame to fry the fried dough sticks.

The sound of gongs and drums gradually came outside, and stopped outside the door along with a burst of noisy voices.

Shen Jiyao frowned, picked up the fried dough sticks and cut them into sections. Just when he wanted Xu Rong to go and see what was going on, the sound of gongs and drums stopped.

At this time, Su Ye's voice sounded outside, and he asked: "Is Ji Yao inside?"

"Inside."

Shen Jiyao heard that it was Su Ye, so he stuck his head out and looked at Su Ye, who was wearing a light green cotton-padded jacket. Shouting: "I'm here, Xu Rong is here to bring them soy milk."

Xu Rong came over and brought them soy milk and fried dough sticks. Zhang Yong also followed. Shen Jiyao walked out of the kitchen and asked Su Ye to sit at the table next to the screen. , said: "You are here, you haven't eaten yet. Whatever you want to eat, I will get it for you."

Before Su Ye could speak, a group of people came in, looking around and looking for a place to sit down. Bian Xurong and others were stunned for a moment, then they realized what they were doing and hurriedly went to pour tea for the guests to greet them. Shen Jiyao was obviously stunned. He stood up and said, "Are you all here to eat?

" A relatively well-built man said, "Some people say that the food you make here is delicious. Let's try it and see what we have."

Shen Jiyao frowned. Although he didn't know who was helping him, He was just confused for a moment and then stopped worrying. Instead, he pointed to the menu with a smile and said, "It's all on the menu. Take a look at what you want to eat."

"Hey, the price is not low." The man As he spoke, he looked around and saw that the man and woman had just finished drinking the soy milk, so he said: "What are they eating? Give me a taste."

"Okay, wait a moment." Shen Jiyao Then he said to Xu Rong and others: "Greeting good guests, ask them what they want to eat. If you can't remember, just use the method I taught you to remember. You must remember the table number."

Xu Rong and others took the time to say: "Remember."

Shen Jiyao nodded, turned around and said to Su Ye: "I'll work for a while, you sit down, I'll find you when I'm done."

Su Ye nodded and said: "Where's Xiaodou Mi, bring it No, I'll help you take care of him."

"Here." Lan Qianjue walked out of the kitchen at the right time and said, "He just woke up. I have to work with Ji Yao for a while. Brother Su is here."

Su Ye was naturally eager to take care of him, so he happily went to take care of Xiao Doumi.

Here, Shen Jiyao and Lan Qianjue rushed into the kitchen to work. There were noisy voices and the sound of ordering breakfast outside. After a while, Xu Rong ran into the kitchen with the money he had collected from the man before and said: "Brother Shen, change. This belongs to the brother who ordered one."

Shen Jiyao took the money and looked at it. He took out the prepared silver and handed it to Xu Rong before continuing to work.

After a few breaths, I heard the man say with great satisfaction: "The food is indeed delicious. I will come back tomorrow."

"Come on, sir. Go slowly."

Shen Jiyao was frying fried dough sticks and could not help but raise the corners of his lips slightly when he heard the sound. Laughed.

At this time, Xu Rong came into the kitchen with a stack of notes and said: "Brother Shen, this is what they ordered. They are all written according to your instructions. These copper plates belong to the two people just now, a total of thirty-two coins." Count the money, am I right?"

Shen Jiyao took the copper plate and put it in the wooden box on the cabinet behind him without looking at it, and said: "Yes, help me put this soy milk with it. Bring the fried dough sticks to the big brother at table three."

Xu Rong responded and took the soy milk fried dough sticks out. At this time, someone in the room said: "Don't worry, try it. I guarantee it's delicious. If it doesn't taste good, I'll treat you to it!" But everyone is a real person, so you can't play tricks on an honest person like me, haha, the food they make is absolutely delicious, everyone will definitely like it."

This voice belongs to Zhang Tianwen.

After hearing this, someone said: "As long as the food is delicious, money is a trivial matter."

At this time, someone echoed: "Yes, yes, money is a trivial matter. I followed your gongs and drums from the north gate to this east gate, isn't it? To try this unheard-of food you mentioned, please don't fool us, otherwise I will have to settle the score with you."

Zhang Tianwen smiled and promised again and again: "Don't worry."

"It's delicious!" The man who had eaten soy milk and fried dough sticks said: "It's really good!"

This finally made everyone feel at ease, and they all looked forward to the food they ordered.

Shen Jiyao, who was busy in the kitchen, finally knew what was going on. Zhang Tianwen must have walked around the town beating gongs and drums to bring these people. Shen Jiyao couldn't help but be touched, feeling that he could make friends with them. These good friends are worth it. It's a pity that I didn't tell Brother Zhou and the others about opening the store today. When things stabilize in the future, I must invite them to have a good meal.

The two of them cooperated very well in the kitchen. Su Ye looked at them over there and couldn't help but feel a little envious, and then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he had thought of something happy.

Shen Jiyao made the food according to the numbers drawn on the note. This was the method he taught several people. The order of several dishes was one, two, three and four. They couldn't write, so Shen Jiyao taught them a simple number of words. , but it came in handy. After Shen Jiyao prepared the food on the note one by one, Xiao Doumi, who didn't cry much, was already crying from hunger. Shen Jiyao hurriedly heated milk for him without stopping. Drink. After everything is done, a few people can come to the kitchen.

The shop was packed with people, with ten tables in total. There was really no one left at the table. Zhang Tianwen and the two brothers he brought with him, Wang Wen and Wang Wu, were busy for a while. After everyone had something to eat, they were free. .

Shen Jiyao gratefully handed over to several people and said: "Thank you, Brother Zhang, Brother Wu and Brother Wen."

"Nothing, nothing." Wang Wu smiled and said: "Seeing that your business is good, we are also happy."

Zhang Tianwen agreed . Shen Jiyao nodded and said, "What else do we need to be polite about?"

Shen Jiyao smiled to express his gratitude.

At this time, Lan Qianjue came out of the kitchen, carrying three bowls of soy milk in his long slender hands, walked up to a few people standing in the corner, and said: "Brother Zhang, you two brothers, thank you for your hard work, drink some soy milk."

Zhang. Tian Wen smiled, raised his hand unceremoniously, took a bowl of soy milk, and said: "You are still polite to me, why is this so hard? We are just here to make a meal of Brother Shen. By the way, Just bring a few people here to eat. The delicious food you make attracts so many people."

Shen Jiyao on the side was in a very good mood. Hearing this, he said: "Okay, when there is space, I will get it for you. "Then we're not welcome. "

Zhang Tianwen smiled boldly, then looked around and said, "Where's Su Ye? Where are they?"

"I'm here" Su Ye picked up Xiao Doumi. The kitchen man came out and smiled at Zhang Tianwen.

Zhang Tianwen looked at Su Ye with a gentle face, and teased Xiao Doumi casually. Then he looked at the shop full of people and sighed, seeing the diners eating so happily, even though this shop has nothing to do with Zhang Tianwen and the others, looking at the two People are very happy when their business is so prosperous.

Perhaps taking advantage of the large number of people, several more groups of people came later. Shen Jiyao first arranged for a few people and prepared food for them to eat, and then went to greet other diners.

Everyone at Zhang Tianwen's table was praising Shen Jiyao's food while eating, making those diners who hadn't eaten yet look salivating. It was really interesting.

At noon, after all the breakfast they prepared was sold out, there was still a steady stream of diners coming to eat. Shen Jiyao continued to sell fried rice. A large wooden bucket of rice was steamed first and poured into the cold rice, fried rice. The ingredients are also prepared in cloth bags. Just open them and pour them into bowls to use for cooking. Gradually, the firewood is used up and the bowls are washed again. Finally, the day has been messy and busy. People gradually disperse and things They were all sold out, and the street began to become quiet.

Zhang Tianwen and the others have already left, and Su Ye has also been taken away.

Shen Jiyao closed the store door, took out the small wooden box containing money from the kitchen and started counting money.

A few people sat in a corner consciously, and Shen Jiyao didn't care about them. Although he wasn't afraid of them looking, he couldn't ask them to come up and guard him.

He worked with Lan Qianjue and counted the copper plates in the wooden box. There were nearly three thousand copper plates! That works out to just over three taels!

Shen Jiyao looked at Lan Qianjue's eyes with an expression of disbelief on his face. His eyes were full of excitement that could not be concealed. He said: "Three taels and three hundred and sixty yuan, we can repair the shop and buy things in one morning." All the money was made back, and there was an extra one, two, or five hundred dollars. I actually made so much without knowing it!"

Lan Qianjue was also quite surprised by this harvest. If this is the case, I'm afraid it won't take long for them. He could save a lot of money. He liked the way Shen Jiyao was holding back his excitement when he saw it, so he smiled and said, "It's indeed quite profitable. It's all thanks to you."

Shen Jiyao . Ji Yao finally calmed down. He smiled happily at the people sitting in the corner and said: "Brothers, we sold more than three taels today!"

Several people nodded happily, obviously moved. I can't find the words to say.

Although they were very tired after working all day, washing a lot of dishes again and again, but as long as their boss could make money, it didn't matter if they were tired.

Shen Jiyao was immersed in the joy of making a huge profit of one or two silver in the morning and could not extricate himself for a long time. When he returned home, he still felt happy from time to time.

However, after it subsided, Shen Jiyao's arm began to hurt. His shoulders were so sore that he couldn't lift his hands. Shen Jiyao had to quietly twist it twice by himself, which did not worry Lan Qianjue. He told him that he was still gritting his teeth and preparing the ingredients for tomorrow. The group of people worked until late at night. After preparing all the ingredients, they went to bed one after another.

With the booming momentum on the first day, the second day became even more lively. They still sold out all the ingredients, and the money they sold was no less than the first day.

As soon as Jun Zailai Restaurant opened, almost all the business in the snack alley was taken away by his family. However, because of this, it was inevitable that his colleagues would be jealous and hateful, and it began to attract many unfriendly looks. Shen Jiyao was too lazy to do so. Regardless, he is still minding his own business.

After working without a clue for more than ten days, they finally figured out the trick. Now, no matter how busy they are, they are gradually doing things in an orderly and unhurried manner.

They have been doing this for more than a month, and their business has been very good for several months. Shen Jiyao was really struggling alone, so he asked Lan Qianjue to help him. Wang Baoer was responsible for lighting the fire, and the other four went to greet the guests. The team divides the work and cooperates, and greets the guests very efficiently no matter how busy they are.

Gradually, they have become somewhat famous in this town. Firstly, the food they make is special. Secondly, it is really delicious and there are many choices. Even if you come to eat in their store every day, you can taste something different. There are many tricks, and the attitude of several people towards the diners is very respectful. No matter how busy and chaotic they are, they never blush, so there are many repeat customers.

On the other hand, once there is work in the fields, they will stop their business in the town and go to the fields together, taking care of both ends. However, after a month of doing this, everyone is a little bit too much.

Walking back and forth on the road for more than ten miles, I had to carry soy milk and other supplies, which was really too much.

So after finishing his work one afternoon, Shen Jiyao went to the tofu seller to grind soy milk and deliver it to them every morning. This gradually reduced everyone's pressure.

Shen Jiyao made some rough calculations and found that in this month, they actually made a hundred taels of silver!

Of course, this is not pure profit, but is included in it together with the money spent on buying ingredients. But even so, the two people have changed from the original twelve taels to a hundred taels. It can be said that Lan Qianjue has never seen this before. After so many silver coins, a few people even more so. Everyone feels a sense of accomplishment that their hard work for so long has finally paid off.
