After breakfast the next day, Wang Yulan followed Song Tuanyuan into the back room, took out some broken silver and placed it in front of Song Tuanyuan.
"What is this for?" Song Tuanyuan asked.
"Mom, since we have separated, we have to provide for the household expenses. Xiaoxiao's father's shop hasn't made much money recently, so don't dislike it. When we make money, we will double the amount!" Wang Yulan said.
Song Tuanyuan looked at the money. They were all scraps, not even a tael in total. Thinking that Song Fugui had gone bankrupt before and didn't even have the money to pay Xiaoxiao's money, and now he was supporting the shop for only a few days, I'm afraid it was
There was no money either. This money might be Wang Yulan's private money.
Song Tuanyuan looked at Wang Yulan and asked: "Yesterday, the second brother's family gave me money, did you see it?"
Wang Yulan was a little panicked and a little embarrassed: "Mom, I didn't mean to peek. I took my little girl out to greet you, and I happened to see... I was afraid of embarrassment, so I didn't go out at that time..."
"It's okay, we are all a family, don't keep things in your heart!" Song Tuanyuan said with a smile, "The second child is an official, and Miaomiao is the eldest lady of the Protector's Palace. Their lives are different from us, naturally.
Our Song family also spends different amounts of money on the second child, so you and the eldest brother don’t have to worry about it. What you do is small.
If you have extra money in this business and are willing to honor me, just give it to me. If you don’t have any, I won’t blame you and won’t take it to heart! Oh, by the way, didn’t you say before that you wanted to do something by yourself?
I know a dish called Malatang. It’s easy and convenient to make and tastes pretty good. You can try it!”
Wang Yulan was stunned: "Mom, I still have to take care of my little girl, and there is such a big family... Besides, I am not a business person..."
"Little Nannan, you can let the two nuns look at you. Those two nuns are from the palace. They are not easy to read and write. They also understand the rules of the big family. Little Nannan is being taught by them. Don't worry.
!As for doing business, it’s just a little bit of food. As long as it’s delicious and hygienic, you don’t have to worry about not having any customers!”
Song Tuanyuan still hopes that Wang Yulan can have her own life instead of always living around children and men.
"Mom, is this really possible?" Wang Yulan's mind was full of things. She had something to do and made some money. She didn't have to ask her man for it, and she wouldn't have random thoughts.
Song Tuanyuan nodded: "You can open a small shop next to Fugui's grocery store. It doesn't need to be big, just six tables. I'll teach you how to do it!"
Wang Yulan responded quickly.
Just do it, Wang Yulan immediately entrusted the little girl to the two nuns. The two nuns had been idle for so long and finally had something to do. They didn't dare to say anything, so they had to take it over.
Wang Yulan bowed to Aunt Gong and Aunt Ren again and again: "Thank you for your hard work, I'm still young and not sensible. Please be patient with her. If there's anyone who needs a lesson, I'll teach her a lesson!"
Song Tuanyuan knew that Wang Yulan was worried about the child, so he stepped forward and said to the two nuns: "You said before that rules are the most important thing. To you, my little girl should be regarded as a little lady, right?"
Aunt Gong saluted Song Tuanyuan: "Don't worry, County Master, we will teach and take care of the young lady!"
With tears in Wang Yulan's eyes, she saluted the two nuns again.
The two nuns quickly returned the gift.
Wang Yulan felt relieved and followed Song Tuanyuan out.
Song Tuanyuan had already said hello to the shop there before. Because it used to be a small wonton shop, he could use it directly. The tables and chairs were all ready-made.
Malatang is also very simple. Just blanch the dishes in a butter pan and add sesame juice and various seasonings.
On the first day today, Song Tuanyuan helped Wang Yulan in the store and prepared everything, but no one came to the store.
Wang Yulan was in a hurry when she saw two people sitting at the table outside the door. One of them was wearing green clothes and had a slender figure. Looking at it, she felt that there was such a good-looking person in the world. He was just so quiet. Sitting there on the ground, the agile and unruly wind stopped for him; the pure and clear clouds stopped for him... The sun was blocked behind him, and the backlight blurred his face.
Wang Yulan was stunned for a while and then realized that it was Ji Changan!
Wang Yulan quickly went to call Song Tuanyuan.
Song Tuanyuan walked out and saw Ji Changan and Shen Lin sitting at the table, looking at Song Tuanyuan with smiles.
Song Tuanyuan quickly stepped forward and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I was passing by and found a small shop opened here. I haven't tried this spicy hotpot before, so I came to try it!" Ji Changan said with a smile, "I didn't expect that it was opened by you!"
Song Tuanyuan said: "This is opened by my eldest daughter-in-law. It just opened today. If you are a table of guests, you will get a 50% discount!"
Ji Changan smiled: "Okay!"
Song Tuanyuan looked at the room and said, "Then I will help you decide!"
Ji Changan nodded.
Song Tuanyuan asked Wang Yulan to order two portions of spicy hotpot, various vegetables, meatballs, beef and mutton, etc., and arranged some for Ji Changan and Shen Lin.
When two large bowls of fragrant food were served, the aroma immediately overflowed.
Ji Changan smelled the sesame juice, sesame seeds, red oil, and various other dishes, which really whetted his appetite.
It's October, the weather is a bit cold, a bowl of spicy hot soup is steaming, the aroma spreads all over the street, and with the two handsome men, the advertising effect is natural, and it attracts a lot of people in a short time.
"What kind of food is this? It looks good!" Someone couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Song Tuanyuan gave Wang Yulan a wink, and Wang Yulan hurriedly stepped forward to solicit business, "This is called Malatang. It's a new way to eat it. Everyone, come in and try it?"
"Is it expensive?" someone asked again.
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive. You can choose the dishes here. If you can't make up your mind and don't want to choose, we also have set meals!" Wang Yulan quickly showed everyone the pieces of paper that Song Tuanyuan had just written, "This is three meat and four vegetarian dishes." It’s eighteen copper coins. If you add a meat dish, it’s three copper coins, and a vegetarian dish is two copper coins…”
Wang Yulan was a little shy at first, but as more and more people came to ask questions, she quickly stepped forward to introduce them, forgetting her shyness.
At first, everyone felt that the price of this spicy hotpot was a bit high, but some of them couldn't stand the temptation. They ordered a few less dishes and spent more than a dozen copper coins to try it. After one taste, they couldn't stop.
The more people ate, the stronger the aroma wafted out, and soon all six tables inside and outside the store were filled with people.
Wang Yulan was so happy that she opened her mouth from ear to ear and quickly helped Song Tuanyuan and held it out.
Malatang has one advantage over hot pot. You don't have to wait for it when you serve it. It's simple and clear. So in one noon, Song Tuanyuan and Wang Yulan made more than a dozen businesses.
