He was betrayed at the beginning, from a cake seller to a wealthy person

The eating habits of people in the Dali Dynasty are divided into two types, one is to eat three meals, and the other is to eat two meals.

Wealthier families and people who have to go to work and school in the morning usually eat three meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner, otherwise they will go hungry in the morning; families who don't have to work hard and have relatively tight family income usually eat two meals, one at around midnight. , one meal around Shen time in the afternoon, that is, one meal at ninety o'clock in the morning and one meal at three or four o'clock in the afternoon. Therefore, Lu Ji has been doing business intermittently this morning. Except for the morning rush hour, he also comes to eat alone from time to time at other times, and does not stop until almost noon.

Lu Ji currently does not offer lunch items, and will only sell snacks from now on. Cake or something.

But the clerk needs to eat. There was nothing left from the breakfast prepared, only three steamed buns were left, which was not enough to eat. But because Lu Yan was afraid that she wouldn't be able to sell enough steamed buns and wontons, she prepared an extra pot of meat fillings, and now she decided to just make pies.

Add water and oil to the flour and knead the dough. Knead the dough for a quarter of an hour until smooth. Divide the dough into several fist-sized pieces, brush with oil and leave for an hour. Roll out the rested small dough, wrap a ball of prepared meat filling inside, and wrap it inside like a bun. Place the dough filled with meat filling on the cutting board and press it out, then use a rolling pin to roll it out. Because oil is added to the dough, the dough is very malleable and will not break when rolled from the size of a bun to the size of a plate.

After rolling it out, it is cooked directly on the pancake pan. Lu Yan does not cut it after it is out of the pan, but just serves it directly, so anyone can eat it how they want.

The crust of the pie is very thin, the outer layer is crispy, the inner layer is soaked in gravy and becomes soft, and the pure meat filling is fresh, salty and delicious. Lu Sheng and Lu Yan have not been short of meat in the past few months. Huang Hui also eats meat at home, so it is only as good as it is delicious. They eat without raising their heads during the spring equinox and winter solstice. What kind of family can allow their servants to eat meat like this every day?

The afternoon was not going to be too busy until the application time. Lu Sheng decided to go to the county school first to complete the enrollment process and hand in Shu Xiu.

The county school is very close to Lu Ji's Restaurant, and it can be reached in less than a minute's walk. The concierge was so angry that he ushered Lu Sheng in. He heard that he was here to handle admissions and exchange studies, and pointed him to a location: "The first building you see when you go in, on the first floor, follow the corridor to the room at the end, just go in. .”

Lu Sheng nodded his thanks and walked inside. Following the location pointed out by the concierge, Lu Sheng quickly found the room with the closed door.

Lu Sheng knocked on the door, and soon the door was opened from inside. To Lu Sheng's surprise, the person who opened the door was not an elderly teacher, but a scholar who looked about the same age as himself.

Before Lu Sheng could ask, the scholar spoke clearly: "Are you the new student who won the ranking this year? Are you here to practice?"

Lu Sheng nodded, and the scholar nodded too, then turned around and led Lu Sheng into the room.

There was a table in the middle of the room. On the table were a pen and inkstone and a stack of booklets. The scholar sat down behind the table, took out a booklet and began to write down: "What's your name? Where are you from? What's your rank in the child examination?"

"Lu Sheng, from Kaiyuan Town, the eighth child." Lu Sheng took out five taels of silver and handed it over while telling his information.

The scholar reached number eight and raised his eyebrows: "Okay, you did well in the exam at such a young age!"

After the scholar finished writing the notes, he put away the money and gave a pile of books to Lu Sheng: "These are the books that I will teach you every day. I will lend them to you for free. You will have to pay them back when you leave the county school, so cherish some of them." Don’t break it.”

Lu Sheng hurriedly put the book into his arms, and the scholar led Lu Sheng out: "I am your senior brother, and my name is Zhang Chang (chang, three times). The county school officially starts classes at Chen hour (7 o'clock) every day, and at Mao hour Morning reading starts after six quarters (6:6). Most of the classmates will come one after another at four quarters ([-]:[-]). Just keep an eye on the time. You students are all in Room Bing[-], right here The third floor of this building.”

Zhang Chang led Lu Sheng out and said as he walked: "Let me show you our county school. This building is where we usually listen to lectures, and the one ahead is the canteen. Students in our county school have three meals a day It’s free, and you can come to the canteen to eat at Mao hour, noon hour, and You hour (6 to 7 o’clock, 11 to 13 o’clock, 17 to 19 o’clock) every day.”

"In the back is our martial arts arena and Cuju arena, and then there is the horse farm. We have lessons in horse riding and archery."

"The teachers in our county school are very busy, and they basically don't care about chores. We have set up a club, and the members take turns to come on duty and deal with these things."

The two walked around the county school, and Zhang Chang stopped: "Okay, that's about it. You go back, and remember to come on time tomorrow."

Lu Sheng saluted Zhang Chang: "I'm sorry to trouble you, Senior Brother Zhang, today. I'm really grateful."

Lu Sheng returned to the store with a stack of books in his arms. There was no use for him to go home at this time. Everyone was in the store right now and there was no one at home.

At Shen time, people began to come to eat one after another. Chuan Chuan is as popular as ever. Many diners who enjoyed their morning meal wandered in to see what the evening meal had to offer, and they couldn't walk after seeing it.

I saw that the weird lattice pot was filled with thick white bone soup, which was steaming. There were more than a dozen kinds of skewers soaked in it, some of which I had never seen before. The vegetarian skewers are all common vegetables, but the meat skewers include fish tofu, braised pork sausage, and sweet and spicy sausages. I have never tried them, so I have to try them out!

Lu Yan's morning meal prices were such that everything was a penny more expensive than in town. It didn't show much during the morning meal, but when it came to the evening meal, it suddenly became apparent.

The price of Lu Yan's skewers has changed very strangely. Vegetarian skewers cost [-] cents and one skewer costs three cents, and meat skewers cost three cents and one skewer costs five cents and two skewers. Such a price change has led to many people adding more meat and vegetables in order to round up the order. Lu Sheng once again admired her in his heart and wrote down her marketing plan again.

As expected, many diners had eaten the sausages and came to ask Lu Yan whether the sausages were sold alone. Lu Yan thought about it and refused. It was easy to do in the winter, so she dried it immediately. Now the weather is getting hotter and hotter. In this weather, Lu Yan would not dare to dry raw meat in the yard for ten days.

It was not until Xu that the guests gradually disappeared. At four o'clock in the morning, Lu Yan closed the door.

Lu Sheng flipped the abacus beads in his hand. After finishing the day's accounts, he raised his head and smiled at Lu Yan: "A total of 3413 articles were sold today."

"More than three taels of silver?" Lu Yan asked in shock.

Lu Sheng hummed: "This is the total number of sales, plus the cost. But I can still make a profit. Today is the first day of opening, and there may not be as many people as today."

"It doesn't matter. Even if the traffic is only half of today's, the monthly profit will still be thirty taels." Lu Yan said, "It's better than I imagined."

Lu Sheng felt that his knowledge of money gradually improved after Lu Yan came here, and he was not so surprised now that he had thirty taels a month.

I even think Lu Yan can be even more powerful.
