Chapter 6 Entering the city for the first time
Huang Shengcai read that right. Everyone ordered wine and food with staple food when eating in restaurants. Now that they are ready, no one will eat staple food in restaurants, so naturally they are robbed of business.
Seeing the diners' steamed buns and wine and food delicious, Huang Shengcai was a little anxious. This is not possible. How can we get back the venue? It is impossible to prohibit diners from bringing their own things. In that case, there is no need to do business.
A flash of inspiration reminded him of Boss Hu's words, steamed buns and side dishes are awesome. What if there are steamed buns in his restaurant? Then wouldn't he be able to draw the same thing and sooner or later squeeze out the Du family's business? Just like an old fox, Huang Shengcai quickly came up with a bad idea.
After nightfall, Du Shaoqing endured his fatigue and told fairy tales to his daughter. There were not many children without mothers who could not cry or make a fuss, but his daughter Xuanxuan was extremely calm. The little girl liked to listen to stories and sleep. It used to be told by her mother, but now Du Shaoqing has to come. But who knew that Du Shaoqing said so wonderfully. The more she listened to the little girl, the more she became. Yesterday was Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, and today was Snow White.
"Dad, can my mother be Snow White? Was she taken away by seven dwarfs? Let's go and ask them." The little girl seemed to be sleepy at all, very energetic.
Puff! Du Shaoqing almost burst into laughter. This girl is too stubborn.
"No, your mother went back to her parents' home to find your grandparents, and she will be back soon. Dad will tell you the story of Pleasant Goat on the Qingqing Grassland that she didn't finish yesterday, okay?" Du Shaoqing quickly changed the topic.
"Okay, okay! Dad, come and be a big wolf. Mom is the red wolf holding a pan. I am the cute little Huihui. The third grandma is the old village chief, the third grandpa is the Feiyangyang, and the second uncle is..."
It's over, Du Shaoqing slapped his forehead, daughter, you didn't even understand the species and seniority, so you started to assign roles? The key is that you think I'm like playing a villain?
Until the moon was in the middle of the sky and Du Shaoqing was yawning all the time, the little girl could no longer bear to fall asleep in a daze with her lips bent. Du Shaoqing hugged her daughter and went over, and the last sentence she said was: "It's really not easy to take care of a child."
The next morning.
"Brother, our steamed bun shop is really profitable. It earns more money in one day than the income of your inn in the past two months." Du Shaoming excitedly found Du Shaoqing and said.
Du Shaoqing smiled and said, "This is all small money. We will make a lot of money in the future. Yesterday, the sales volume was too large, and the flour in our family was insufficient, so today I want to go to the city with my third uncle to purchase. You can stay at home to help my third aunt take good care of the business."
"No problem, the business mother in front is enough. I'd better take care of Xuanxuan from behind. She also likes to play with me."
"Today Xuanxuan also wants to go to the city with me, and I want to make her two new clothes."
"Ah? Such a young girl, what are you doing when you go to the city? How inconvenient you need to hold her along the way." Du Shaoming asked in confusion.
"Xuanxuan has never entered the city since she was a child. She took her to play, why don't you go there too? You will hold her along the way?" Du Shaoqing quipped.
...Du Shaoming shook his head repeatedly, forget it, he should take care of the business at home.
It was only thirty miles away, and Du Shaoqing and Uncle San walked for an hour and a half with their children. It was obvious that the mountain road was difficult to walk. "Uncle San, go and buy white flour to see if you can discuss long-term supply and let them deliver goods to your door. We can't come here every now and then. Our town is in the mountains, which is very inconvenient.
I took Xuanxuan to buy some clothes and look around."
After giving instructions, Du Shaoqing held his daughter and started shopping. To be honest, Du Shaoqing, a small county town in Zheng County, has been here, but that was when his ex took the exam. Du Shaoqing, who came later in life, had never visited such an ancient city. Although the city was not big, only three miles in radius, Du Shaoqing and his daughter were as novel as Liu Laolao entered the Grand View Garden.
Some people made clay, some sold snacks, and some sold wooden toys. In a short while, the bags brought by Du Shaoqing were almost filled.
There were a few juggling people on the street, one was playing monkeys and the other was a big stone on his chest. The little girl looked at her and occasionally applauded with the onlookers. Du Shaoqing asked curiously: "Daughter, do you understand what they are doing?"
"You can understand. One uncle is teaching the little monkey to play games, and the other two uncles bought two very large black-dough cakes. It is probably too big to break it, so they have to smash it with a big hammer."
Puff! Du Shaoqing couldn't help it. The joke of his daughter was more exciting than juggling. Not only did he laugh, but everyone who heard the cute voice in the field burst into laughter. Among them, the person who was swinging the hammer almost slipped his feet and swung the hammer. The person who was lying down with a stone slab was so scared that he hid away.
"Miss, your joke almost killed me. You can't talk nonsense in the future.
Brother, just watch the fun. Don’t interfere with our business. It’s almost dangerous!” The man got up from the ground and wanted to scold him, but when he saw such a cute little girl, he really couldn’t bear to scold her, so he had to remind Du Shaoqing.
Xuanxuan turned her head and asked Du Shaoqing in a low voice: "Dad, is the dough cake not broken? Is that uncle angry? Why don't they eat our steamed buns? The dough cake is not delicious."
Du Shaoqing explained with a smile: "No, no, uncle is tired of performing and can't handle the hammer." A group of people around him burst into laughter. The father and daughter are too weird, one is more daring to talk nonsense than the other.
"Dad, that little monkey is so cute. Let's take it home and let it play with me." As he said that, the little girl actually spread her legs and ran straight towards the monkey-playing man, not afraid of being scratched by the monkey. Du Shaoqing exclaimed in fear, and then strode forward to chase him.
But the place was not big, and the little girl stood in the front row again. She ran to the monkey-shocking man in a few steps. She grabbed the rope that tied the monkey, and laughed at the monkey, "Little monkey, go, go home with me."
"Brother, can we hold your daughter? We can't do business." The juggling people were embarrassed.
Du Shaoqing stepped forward and picked up his daughter and hurriedly apologized, but the little girl grabbed the rope tightly and refused to let go. It was useless to persuade anyone. When she saw her father not wanting a monkey, she even let out a wow and burst into tears on the spot.
At this time, Du Shaoqing was also at a loss. Although his daughter was born, he had no experience in raising children. Seeing the scene gradually losing control, the monkey man shouted at the monkey wisely, and then he saw the monkey roaring at Xuanxuan with a ferocious expression. He was so scared that the little girl threw away the rope in her hand and hid in her father's arms like a little rabbit.
