After playing all morning, Lu Xu took La Yue, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Man to Shanhuo Shop in the afternoon. The aunt in the shop helped take care of them and started frying the base ingredients for Mala Tang in the shop.
He collected spices from pharmacies and grocery stores throughout the county, and collected several kinds of chili peppers. The only pity was that he couldn't find butter.
Lu Xu had little experience in making base ingredients. He prepared five or six pieces of materials and was prepared to try again if he failed.
Considering that people in Guanyang don't eat much spicy food, Lu Xu also deliberately controlled the amount of chili peppers. He mainly used a fragrant and not too spicy variety. However, once fried, the spicy aroma will come from the Malatang restaurant in the back. Scattered around, Han Lu and Xiao Xia who were preparing the dishes, Lu Yong and Lu Zhou who were cleaning the tables, as well as passers-by and neighbors on the east street, started coughing wildly.
"Cough cough cough cough cough!"
"What does this taste like? It's so spicy!"
"It's Xiao Lu's shop, right? What are you doing?"
Lu Xu's store hasn't opened yet, but several groups of people have already come to see the excitement.
Everyone coughed and coughed and asked, "What are you doing?"
They only saw Lu Xu stirring something in the innermost cauldron. A pot of bone soup was simmering in the cauldron next to it, and it was steaming.
Lu Wen, the only one who is not afraid of spicy food, stood in front of the store, holding a stack of one-penny coupons in his hand, "Spicy hotpot! I don't know what it is. My brother said it's hot food, and it's delicious. I've never had it before." ! How do I know it’s delicious? Don’t you believe it? Come and try it tomorrow!” He whipped out a coupon and said, “It opens tomorrow, and one coupon can be worth a penny off. You must come and try it!”
The neighbors took the coupon and said, "It's only a penny?!"
Lu Wen: "One penny is money! If you want a big sum, go to the shop opened by Guanyang Alliance to buy something. If you buy enough 100 fen this month, you will get a 5-pen coupon. If you buy enough 150 fen, , send ten yuan coupons."
Everyone was stunned for a moment. This was the first time they heard about this kind of discount method. "Are you offering a discount or soliciting customers?"
Lu Wen: "No one will be delayed!"
Everyone was happy. As expected of Lu Xu's brother, someone teased him, "Then tell me what we should buy?"
Lu Wen: "Go to the mountain goods store to buy walnuts and chestnuts, hawthorn pears, dried vegetables and wild vegetables, the grocery store to buy eggs, duck eggs, grains and noodles, and the pier to buy fish. If not, you can buy some radishes and cabbage. You have to eat them in winter!"
Someone asked: "Does taking a boat count?"
Lu Wen was not sure.
Lu Xu yelled in the middle of his busy schedule, "Forget it!"
The spicy smell stuck in his throat, and he couldn't bear it.
He hasn't eaten spicy food for so long that he can no longer tolerate spicy food!
I heard that taking a boat is also considered, but someone has taken the idea.
Especially merchants who often take boats and farmers who go to the city to sell agricultural products at the morning market. Anyway, they have to ride every day and spend every day. If they can get a penny discount, they can resell it to others cheaply if they don't use it themselves!
As soon as they thought about it, they ran to find Tan Shitou how to buy 100 yuan for the ship.
Tan Shitou was also confused. They had always collected money on board the boat and had never sold tickets in advance.
He came to find Lu Xu, who lent him his precious seal, "Go and buy some paper and cut it into coupons. A piece of ten coins will be enough to cover the shipping fee."
Tan Shitou was happy.
Because their passenger ships are not as good as Chuan Gang, since the prices are the same, the business is not as good as Chuan Bang. Now, it’s better to grab customers in advance!
He took the chapter and ran away happily.
At first, he followed Lu Xu's example of writing ten essays on paper. Later, others thought he was too slow in writing and kept urging him to write. Tan Shitou stopped writing. Instead, he scribbled on the paper with a pen, cut the paper, and stamped it. Ten cents, this is so cool, much more fun than selling fish!
After Lu Xu, another person enjoyed the joy of "printing money". Tan Shitou, who was still self-taught, found someone to engrave ship tickets for him.
Ten coins, twenty coins, fifty coins, one hundred coins, he also asked to have the logo of their Guanyang Alliance engraved on it.
There was only one seal engraving shop in the county, so I was speechless when I saw him coming with a flag and trying to engrave such a complicated picture on such a small seal. Finally, I discussed with Tan Shitou and finally let him use a slightly larger square stone seal. .
In several of their shops, there were also "posters" painted by Yan Junqi. It was a large piece of paper. The painting was very beautiful, but it was without water or boat, so it was called a "poster". They didn't understand what this meant. Lu Xu had to do this. Call it, then call it that way.
The customers who came into the shop to make purchases were quite surprised to see him.
I have seen people painting gods, landscapes, flowers, birds, insects, and fish, and people, but I have never seen people painting bowls, pancakes, or dough sticks.
"What are these grids?"
"Our second shopkeeper said it was Malatang."
"What?"
"I don't know either, he said, it's numb, spicy, and hot!"
"..."
What is that? Can it be eaten? !
Everyone who got the coupons had this question.
Since the food produced by Lu Xu is always delicious, some people decided to support it and give it a try. If not, you can still buy some fried dough sticks.
Lu Wen also took to the streets to promote a handful of freshly made hot fried dough sticks for sale tomorrow, which are more delicious than those usually bought at the morning market, attracting a lot of attention.
You have to buy things anyway, and many people have collected a hundred or a hundred and fifty cents to prepare for exchanging fried dough sticks at Lu Xu's snack shop tomorrow.
They started shouting and building momentum, but the pressure was on Xiaoxia.
She has never made it herself, and she doesn’t know if you can make fried dough sticks.
Lu Xu didn't care, "If it doesn't work well, sell something else first, and then we'll talk about it later!"
Before finishing work, Lu Xu went to the storage room to change his clothes, and took a bunch of coupons to give to the wine shop, bookstore, and grocery store where he bought kelp. Although they also opened a grocery store, they were basically all agricultural products, and There was not much conflict in that time-honored grocery store. Lu Xu often went to buy silk thread, kelp, etc., so the two families still got along well.
The shopkeeper of the wine shop was backed by the Luo family, so it was difficult to join their alliance. Lu Xu went to give out coupons, but asked Lu Xu to leave a stack of one cent for him to give to the drinkers.
Lu Xu brought Qiu Hu to order wine. After lobbying, he felt that this boy wanted to be prosperous. He didn't even ask for any money, so he gave it to Lu Xu and the Qiu family on credit. Sure enough, it had only been a while since he had already become his big customer. . Although most of what they want is cheap wine with little profit, they still want a lot from the small shops they open in villages and towns.
Seeing Lu Xu, the shopkeeper couldn't help but want to praise his good taste.
Shopkeeper: "I will bring someone to support you tomorrow, don't worry!"
Lu Xu: "I'll save a seat for you!"
The shopkeeper sent him out and saw that he had become the second boss in Guanyang and everyone knew him. He was still the same as when he first came to Guanyang to sell snails, walking with wind and hopping around, which made him laugh.
"It's great to be young!"
Young Lu Xu hurriedly gave Ma Ruoqi coupons before dark, and ran to the Yamen to give them to Luo Shen. Unexpectedly, he was kicked out by Luo Shen. Lu Xu was not embarrassed at all, and gave them to other officers one by one, and to the There were especially many civil servants writing documents to him, "Welcome! Come all of you!"
After giving away the coupons, he ran to the mountain goods store to pick up his younger brothers and sisters. He had already been eating and drinking at the store for a while.
Lu Xu ordered a lot of fruits from mountain goods, especially the ones that were not in good quality and had no serious problems. He wanted them all.
His beverage shop mainly sells mung bean soup, red bean soup, red bean glutinous rice soup, fruit sweet water, hawthorn juice, pear juice, green tea, black tea, fruit tea, ginger tea, ** tea, plum tea, and you can mix and match. Make it cold now and hot later.
Lu Xu was extremely regretful that there was no milk, otherwise he would have been able to make milk tea.
Auntie especially likes the twelfth lunar month, especially when the twelfth lunar month raises her head and reads the words on the wall with a milky voice. Such a tiny little girl can actually read!
In fact, La Yue doesn’t know much about fruits. She mainly knows how to read and read pictures, so it’s not difficult for her. On the way back, she even talked to Lu Xu, “La Yue has learned persimmons, chestnuts, and walnuts!”
Lu Xu was naturally full of praise.
Twelfth Moon was praised so much that her pigtails turned up, so she ran home and muttered to Yuan Manniang, "Twelfth Moon ate candy figures, flower cakes, persimmons, pears, and walnuts! My brother even bought bamboo dragonflies and clay rabbits for Twelfth Moon!"
Yuan Manniang asked her: "Is the county fun?"
La Yue nodded vigorously, "It's fun!"
In the twelfth lunar month, she showed all her treasures to Yuan Manniang, "Mom, why don't you embroider fruits?"
Yuan Manniang was startled, "Fruit?"
Twelfth Moon: "Yeah! The fruit is beautiful!"
Yuan Manniang has embroidered many flowers and plants, including fruits, but she has not tried embroidering only fruits. She thought for a while and asked Twelve Moon, "What fruit does Twelfth Moon want?"
"Peach! Apple! Persimmon!" I want something sweet!
Yuan Manniang turned her head and stared at her more and more colorful threads, casually matching colors, not very confident, "Mom, try it?"
December: "Yeah!"
Autumn harvest and autumn planting, the weather is fine, and Luxu opens.
Early in the morning, the empty boat docked at Lujiacun and picked up Lu Xu for the opening.
After all, the third aunt was worried about Xiaoxia being alone and had already started harvesting the late rice, so she still came to help Lu Xu. Xiaoxia, Hanlu, the third grandma’s youngest son and daughter-in-law also started working together.
Lu Yong slept in the store room for a night and got up in the middle of the night to add firewood. Looking at the pot of bone soup, Lu Xu poured the milky white and thick bone soup together with the stir-fried and cooled ingredients in a jar. Put a clean square copper pot into it and light a fire underneath.
The noodles made at home were brought out, and the third aunt and Xiaoxia skillfully began to make fried dough sticks. Han Lu and the aunt made bread and leek boxes, and Lu Xu started to bake pancakes.
After a while, the man delivering soy milk and tofu arrived. This was the tofu shop that Lu Xu found from the Guanyang Alliance.
The Tofu Fang who rented Lu Yong's house was too temperamental. Lu Yong could tolerate it, but Lu Xu couldn't.
He used to make some cold dishes in the past, but now that the shop is open, he uses a lot of it. Lu Xu doesn't want to look for ancestors with bad tempers.
He asked around in the Guanyang Alliance, and within a day someone introduced him to a tofu shop in the village north of Guanyang. This tofu shop has been making tofu for several generations, and the craftsmanship and taste are unparalleled. The old couple are honest and friendly, and they have three friends. She has a daughter but no son, so she doesn’t have much confidence in the village. Although she is next to Guanyang County, she has never thought about developing in the county.
If Lu Xu wanted a large quantity, he had to give money first. His attitude was very good. If he wanted tofu, he would make tofu, and if he wanted tofu, he would make tofu. Lu Xu also ordered slate tofu, tofu skin, and soy milk, and his son-in-law from the same village as the tofu shop pulled the cart. Deliver goods to Lu Xu in the county.
Lu Xu asked Lu Yong to pick up the goods, "From now on, you will be responsible for purchasing the goods."
Lu Yong was startled and pointed at himself: "Me?!"
Lu Xu: "It's the closest to your home. Who are you if it's not you?"
Lu Yong looked at Lu Xu blankly.
No matter how stupid he is, he knows that no matter what shop purchases goods, it is a big deal, and he is the boss's most trusted person. He and Lu Xu are not related, but Lu Xu actually trusts him so much.
On a cold autumn morning, Lu Yong felt his whole body burning up. Lu Wen passed by, glanced at him, and said coolly: "Don't be too excited. If you didn't live close by, I would definitely be responsible for the purchase!"
Lu Yong smiled naively.
Lu Xu called to them both: "Why are you so stunned? Come on, I'll teach you how to make tofu poutine!"
