Seeing Lin Xiaoman coming back, Fourth Grandma smiled and waved to her, "Xiao Man, are you thirsty? Fourth Grandma will give you some sour plum soup."

Lin Xiaoman walked over and took the sour plum soup from her fourth grandma. She drank it in one gulp and felt completely refreshed, as if all the fatigue of the morning had been washed away.

Fourth Grandma gave her another bowl, "Slow down, no one will compete with you."

Lin Xiaoman smiled, "Fourth Grandma, this sour plum soup sells very well."

When the fourth grandma heard this, she immediately smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed, "Yeah, I didn't expect it to sell so well. I sold two big cans in such a short time. Fortunately, I just built a new stove, and I'm in front of it."

Wait, Su Yatou is helping me cook in the back, otherwise I would be really worried about being busy all by myself. I also want to buy a few more jars tomorrow, otherwise I might not be able to serve them if they cool too slowly."

Su Yatou is an aunt who comes to help wash the vegetables. Her family is related to the fourth grandma's family, and the fourth grandma always calls her by the name she used before she got married.

She is notoriously quick, otherwise Lin Daqiang would not have chosen her to help. If she does a good job, the first batch of people who come to help can be reused in the future.

"Hmm, Grandma Four can just figure it out."

After drinking the sour plum soup, I walked to the table with the young master and the book boy, "May I ask your last name, young master? I would also like to thank you both for your help yesterday."

When Lu Jin heard the voice, he raised his head slightly unhappily. When he saw clearly that the person coming was Lin Xiaoman, the unhappiness in his eyes quickly faded away, and there was even a faint smile. In his opinion, he could make such delicious food.

A woman must be the most kind-hearted woman in the world.

Seeing that the young master was not displeased, the bookboy stood up and smiled at Lin Xiaoman, "My young master's surname is Lu. I am the young master's book boy. Just call me Qingshu. The young shopkeeper just called me Qingshu. Yesterday's action was a matter of duty, so there is no need to be polite, young shopkeeper."<

/p>

It's their job? Lin Xiaoman doesn't think it's their master's job for scoundrels to molest women in the street. They can't be related to the money, right?

He took out five taels of official silver from his body and put it on the table, and said with a smile: "This is the silver taels that the young master left yesterday. I will not receive any reward for no merit, so please take it back."

Lu Jin glanced sideways at the official silver she placed on the table, but had no intention of taking it back. She just said calmly: "Yesterday Qingshu took action and delayed the little shopkeeper's business. The money is compensation."

Lin Xiaoman shook his head, "This is not the fault of the young master at all. Qingshu helped me a lot. How can I have the nerve to accept the young master's money? If the young master is used to my hot pot chicken, how can I return it in a few days?"

More delicacies will be introduced, and you just need to come here a few more times."

After saying that, Lin Xiaoman turned around and left, leaving Lu Jin with a thoughtful look on his face.

Qingshu sat down and said to Lu Jin: "Master, this girl is not greedy. No wonder she can make the food so delicious. This visit to Qingping County is not all bad."

Lu Jin's face turned cold when she thought that their master and servant had been punished and banished when they came here. But then she lowered her head and saw the delicacies on the table, and her expression became more happy. She said that there would be more delicacies, and if she could eat them every day

With such delicacies, there is nothing wrong with letting him stay in such a bitter and cold place for the rest of his life.

Lin Xiaoman walked to Lin Erlai who was collecting money at the door and asked: "Uncle Erlai, are you tired?"

Lin Erlai had a smile on his face, without any trace of the previous sorrow. He shook his head when Lin Xiaoman asked, "I'm not tired. What's the point of just collecting money? Xiaoman, uncle told you, today's business is

It’s great, after removing the cost of buying new things, there is still a lot left.”

Lin Xiaoman also felt happy when he heard this, "Second Uncle, I rented a yard in the city, and you and Fourth Grandma will live here from now on."

Lin Erlai frowned slightly, "This...how can we let Xiaoman stay in the hospital? Should I let my uncle pay for it?"

Lin Xiaoman shook his head, "Uncle, I rented this yard not only for you and Grandma Four, but also for Erhu and I to live there when we come to the city and cannot go back. In the future, when there are more people in the store, we will also need to find a place to live.

, you and Fourth Grandma will help me guard it, and I won’t have any worries.”

Lin Erlai was heartbroken after hearing this, and even wanted to help Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu guard the stall.

Lin Daqiang didn't leave at this time. He was helping in the backyard. He heard Lin Mao say that Lin Xiaoman was back and came out of the store with a smile. It was the first time in so many years that Lin Xiaoman saw him smiling so heartily. It showed that he knew about the business of this shop.

Good, the clan will be richer in the future, and the burden on his shoulders will be much lighter.

"Xiaoman, you're back. In addition to eating at our place this morning, you also bought a lot to eat back. Just now, I asked someone to buy twenty chickens and some vegetables. If this continues, we will have to pay five per day.

It only takes ten chickens to prepare. It’s a pity that there are few edible vegetables in the fields now. If it is before the autumn harvest, the ingredients will be more abundant."

"Well, I didn't expect the business to be so good." Lin Xiaoman calculated that it should be about the same, and they couldn't make more in their store.

Originally, she wanted to talk to Lin Daqiang about making spicy boiled skewers, but at this time she was at a loss for words.

Not to mention whether they have enough manpower, given the size of their store, they cannot handle such a large flow of customers.

Lin Daqiang pointed to a closed shop not far away, "Xiao Man, I just went to check it out. That shop is also for rent. Do you want to rent the shop over? Pick a few people to come over and help.

If the two stores are run together, you don’t have to worry about the store being too small to entertain so many customers.”

Lin Xiaoman thinks Lin Daqiang's idea is good. The weather will get colder and colder in the near future, and even spicy hot pot is not suitable for eating outside in the heavy snow.

At that time, the store can only accommodate a dozen tables, which is definitely not enough. If we can open another store, we can receive many more customers in a day.

So he said: "Uncle Daqiang, I have an idea. Do you think it can work?"

"Say!" Lin Daqiang calmed down a little and wanted to hear Lin Xiaoman's thoughts. After all, this store is hers, and the ingredients for the hot pot chicken are also hers. If she feels that she cannot open too many stores at once, he will

Listen to her opinion.

After all, he didn't know how much peppers Lin Xiaoman and his brother still had for making hot pot base. If they only had enough for one store, what would he sell the store over there?

Lin Xiaoman said: "Erhu and I were thinking about making a kind of boiled skewers, which is to use bamboo skewers to skewer vegetables or meat into skewers, put them in a pot, cook them and sell them. Such boiled skewers are easy to eat and can be sold in the store.

There is no need to put stools in the store, just taller narrow tables placed around it, so people who eat skewers can buy and take them away, or they can put them on the long table and eat standing up. One shop can serve customers at the same time

Hundreds of people. And this kind of skewers, vegetables are sold for one penny or two skewers, and meats are sold for one penny or two cents per skewer. Most people are willing to spend a few pennies to try the taste, but Erhu and I can't make it.
