Suppliers from both worlds have dominated the world since Datang!

Zhuang Zhou has prepared a lot of invitations for the opening ceremony tomorrow.

These are all prepared to be handed over to Wang Zhigui, who will write them himself, and invite his business friends to come and support them.

Especially in this era of etiquette, this kind of face-saving work still needs to be done.

Zhuang Zhou handed all the invitations to Wang Zhigui.

After all, he was in Chang'an City. Apart from Wang Zhigui, he had no friends in business.

"Brother Chu, where did you get these invitations?"

Looking at the invitation that Zhuang Zhou took out, Wang Zhigui was already stunned.

Each of these invitations is so exquisitely made.

It’s full of ceremony!

Especially this invitation also contains a greeting card.

Just write your name and the content is already there.

The most important thing is that these words are so beautifully written.

Of course these words are all printed by the printer.

Zhuang Zhou didn't explain much, handed the invitation to Wang Zhigui, and left.

Zhuang Zhou had no intention of returning to modern times tonight.

Instead, I plan to stay here for one night.

Back at the grocery store, Ma San was leading people to wait for Zhuang Zhou to have dinner!

It turned out that Ma San specially called the girl here, except that she had to work in the shop during the day.

I have to cook for everyone on weekdays.

Now the three main rooms in the backyard have been cleared out.

Zhuang Zhou lived in the east wing, Ma San lived in the north room, and Ma Xiaoling lived in the west wing.

As for the fat tiger and the thin monkey, they packed up the penthouse and squeezed into one room.

The remaining room was used as a warehouse.

sunset.

Backyard stone table.

Three home-cooked side dishes have been put on the table.

This Ma Xiaoling is really capable.

"Mr. Zhuang, you are back. Let's eat now!"

When Ma San saw Zhuang Zhou coming in, he quickly stood up to greet him.

Fat Tiger and Skinny Monkey also stood aside respectfully:

"Hello, Mr. Zhuang!"

This scene made Zhuang Zhou look like a wealthy landlord.

"Don't be so nervous, all of you!"

Zhuang Zhou smiled, came forward and greeted everyone to sit down:

"What are you eating tonight?"

"Scrambled eggs with cucumber, boiled radish with green vegetables, dried pickles, and a boiled fish."

Zhuang Zhou looked at the dishes on the table and smashed them.

All vegetarian.

Especially this vegetable and radish, there was actually a big pot full of it.

"Aren't there any meat dishes?"

Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but ask.

"Yes! Isn't that just scrambled eggs?"

Ma San looked at the scrambled eggs on the table and couldn't help but swallow his saliva:

"Knowing that Mr. Zhuang will come back for dinner tonight, Ling'er specially added fish!"

Zhuang Zhou said oh, but didn't think it was anything.

"The fish is ready! You can wash your hands and eat!"

Ling'er carefully carried a basin of boiled fish and placed it on the stone table.

Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but poke his head in to take a look.

Nima!

It's really boiled fish.

There is no seasoning whatsoever.

Looking at the green vegetables and radishes, they also have clear soup and little water.

There is no oil star.

The soup is so clear that you can even raise fish.

Zhuang Zhou looked at the three men and then at Ma Xiaoling:

"Is this what you eat every day?"

Fat Tiger nodded naively and said:

"Ah! It's delicious!"

Zhuang Zhou rolled his eyes:

"Don't you all eat meat?"

Among the few people, Ma San was the first to react.

Very embarrassed and said:

"Mr. Zhuang, we don't have any extra money. We only eat meat once during the holidays. This is the only thing we can treat you to tonight."

Only then did Zhuang Zhou remember.

Yes!

Someone else invited him to dinner tonight!

What the hell!

Suddenly, my heart surged, and a surge of sadness came up.

Do your own employees live like this?

Then my boss is too incompetent!

"How much does pork cost per pound here in Chang'an?"

Ma San, Fat Tiger, and Skinny Monkey all shook their heads when they heard this and looked at Ma Xiaoling.

Ma Xiaoling thought for a while and said:

"At the beginning of last month, it seemed to be seventeen copper coins per pound."

17 copper coins?

Calculated at 4.5 yuan per copper coin.

It’s almost 76.5 yuan per pound.

In fact, this is no wonder.

In this era, no one has anything to eat.

Not to mention raising pigs.

Therefore, there is very little pork on the market, so it is naturally expensive.

After all, pigs are not like cattle or sheep, which can grow meat just by eating grass.

Pigs can’t.

Pigs are omnivores and will only get thinner if they just eat grass.

And listen to what Ma Xiaoling means.

It seems that the last time I ate meat was early last month.

These days are really hard!

"What about the fish? How many copper coins is a pound of fish?"

"Fish is quite cheap. The fish tonight is only two copper coins."

Ok!

It seems that this fish is much cheaper than pork.

But even so, Zhuang Zhou could see it.

They rarely get to eat fish.

If he hadn't stayed for dinner tonight, this fish probably wouldn't have been on the table.

"Mr. Zhuang, let's eat? I'm hungry!"

"Okay! Let's eat."

But soon Zhuang Zhou remembered something again:

"Wait...you haven't washed your hands yet!"

Who knows, I heard Fat Tiger laugh and say:

"Mr. Zhuang, my hands are not dirty!"

"My hands are not dirty either!"

The thin monkey said and stretched out his hand.

Zhuang Zhou wouldn't have listened to them, if it weren't for the space-time gate's built-in sterilization function.

I don’t know how many viruses I have brought with me!

Zhuang Zhou returned to the shop and brought back a piece of soap.

Then organize everyone to apply soap every time they wash their hands.

After washing their hands, everyone felt that there was a special fragrance on their hands.

It smells good.

Even Ma Xiaoling said that her hands had become smoother.

"Remember, wash your hands before every meal in the future."

After hearing what Mr. Zhuang said, they naturally agreed.

"Come on! Let's eat."

Tonight's meal may be the most vegetarian meal that Zhuang Zhouzhang has ever eaten in his old age.

But for Ma San and the others, this was already a sumptuous meal.

"Come on, Mr. Zhuang, do you want to try this fish?"

Zhuang Zhou ate fish that only tasted salt.

To be honest, this fish is really delicious.

But the taste is really dull.

It seems that I can bring some condiments next time I come here.

Seeing that the food was almost finished.

Even the pot full of vegetables and radishes was wiped out by Fat Tiger.

"Ma San, starting from tomorrow, use a sum of money as living expenses in the store."

Ma San was stunned for a moment: "Mr. Zhuang, how much living allowance is appropriate?"

Zhuang Zhou thought for a while and said: "Just based on the standard of ten cents per person per day, remember, every meal must have meat."

In fact, there is money in the store now.

But Ma San did not flee with the money, nor did he use it indiscriminately.

This is enough to show that this boy can still be entrusted with important tasks.

But who knows, when Zhuang Zhou said this, Ma San looked embarrassed:

"Mr. Zhuang, our grocery store has just opened and we haven't made any money yet. Isn't the standard of ten cents per person per day too high?"

The thin monkey listened and said:

"That's right, Mr. Zhuang, we are very satisfied just to have this job, but we don't dare to expect to eat meat every day."

Ma Xiaoling also said shyly at this time:

"Mr. Zhuang, if you are hungry for meat, you can go to a restaurant and don't worry about us."

Zhuang Zhou knew they were worried about spending money.

But Zhuang Zhou doesn’t care!

To be honest, coming to Chang'an City to spend copper coins is not for Zhuang Zhou.

It totally feels like spending game currency.

There is no feeling of spending copper coins as money at all.

"You all remember, now you are all employees of Zhuangji Grocery Store!"

"Work hard, and I'll make sure you eat meat every time from now on!"

Ma San slapped his chest suddenly and promised:

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhuang! We will go through fire and water, no matter what!"

Fat Tiger and Thin Monkey are also guaranteed to speak righteously.

Zhuang Zhou hummed and then said:

"In addition, Ling'er will have to work part-time as a cook in the future, and will receive an additional salary of one hundred cents per month."

Who knows, Zhuang Zhou just finished speaking.

Ma San then greeted:

"Ling'er, why don't you thank Mr. Zhuang quickly!"

Ma Xiaoling quickly knelt down and kowtowed:

"Thank you, Mr. Zhuang! Ling'er will definitely work hard for Mr. Zhuang from now on, and there will be no complaints!"

"..."

Zhuang Zhou was speechless!

He had no choice but to help Ling'er up and told him:

"You all remember, don't kneel to me in the future!"

"Also, don't say anything like being a cow or a horse for me, remember!"
