"...Later, the prince finally found Cinderella, and the two lived a happy and happy life ever since." Sitting in front of the bed, Bai Tan finished the adapted version of the fairy tale softly, and finally asked with a smile: "Ah Xue likes you?" The story?"

Guan Muxue huddled under the apricot-yellow thin quilt, and said with a very flattering smile: "Of course I like it."

Bai Tan was full of energy, and his eyes became brighter when he heard the words: "Then let me tell you one more thing."

"No, don't bother Aunt Bai." Guan Muxue froze and yawned slowly.

"Okay then." Bai Tan put down the gauze curtain, lit the incense again, held the candle in one hand, looked back and said softly through the white fence: "Good night, Axue."

Guan Muxue also said: "Good night, aunt." Nowadays, when everyone separates in the evening and goes to bed, they are used to saying "rest early", but Bai Tan always says "good night", which is simple and clear, and slowly Dihexian Villa also followed suit.

When the sound of footsteps disappeared, Guan Muxue breathed a sigh of relief, and got up silently. For fear of being discovered by others, she didn't turn on the lamp, but opened the window lightly, taking advantage of the cold moonlight, and silently punched .

Since Guan Ye passed away, Guan Muxue practiced martial arts with Xun Xiangmo and others every morning, and studied literature with Master Yan in the afternoon. Sad in my heart, and because I have to keep my filial piety, I have to eat very light food for a month, and my face is inevitably a little haggard and sick.

Bai Tan was afraid that Guan Muxue would be too young to bear it, so he discussed with Master Yan and the others to lighten his burden. Unable to bear Fu Ni Bai Tan's good intentions, he nodded in agreement, but in private, he worked harder and more diligently than before, and often smeared and practiced at night.

This is also the reason why Guan Muxue's bags under her eyes have been swollen recently, and her eyes are filled with faint bloodshot eyes.But he didn't want to, so Bai Tan misunderstood him, thinking that he missed his parents and couldn't sleep at night, so Geshan Chawu would come over to tell bedtime stories.

When Bai Tan returned to the Yilan Courtyard where he lived as a guest, Xun Xiangmo was already waiting there, flipping through an account book in his hand. When he saw him coming, he asked, "Madam, have you gone to tell Mu Xue a story again?"

Bai Tan nodded, turned his back to Xun Xiangmo and put down the lamp, so he didn't notice the other party's suppressed smile, he sat behind the desk and said: "I checked the seventh book yesterday, and there are two left, let's start. "

The ancestors of the Guan family made their fortune through martial arts. They owned a lot of property in Gusu area. They owned a hundred hectares of fertile land, involving more than ten kinds of industries, such as silk shops, wine shops, study rooms, embroidery houses and pharmacies. It is unimaginable for ordinary people to be rich.Not to mention other things, just look at the elegant and exquisite golden retting floating nails, and you can know a thing or two about Hexian Villa, which is a collection of countless ingenious ideas.

It's a pity that it didn't manage well later, and it was gradually reduced to an empty shelf.

When Baitan took over, all the valuable things in Hexian Villa were almost pawned, and most of the fields were sold, leaving only a piece of Susukida at the foot of Cuiwei Mountain and near the mountainside with barren soil and rough terrain. The shops were also closed, and the remaining few It's just struggling to make ends meet, not only is it not beneficial to the distressed status quo of Hexian Villa, but even pays for it.

Bai Tan took Xun Xiangmo and stayed up all night for a few nights, carefully checked all the account books again, and compared to the previous time, he also thought hard to come up with a few countermeasures.

These days, Bai Tan went to inspect the shop during the day, conducted on-the-spot inspections, negotiated with shopkeepers, and wrote calculations at night, and he was equally busy.

Fortunately, hard work pays off.After being so busy, the effect is also very obvious. Among other things, at least Bai Tan now has a very clear understanding of the geographical location, personnel composition, customer groups and other information of each store.

Bai Tan wanted to come here out of selfishness. If he wanted to see the benefits quickly, the catering industry could help Hexian Villa overcome the difficulties in a short time. , I don't hesitate to give up some money in a year to satisfy my appetite.

Moreover, it was a time of peace and prosperity, when all nations came to court, and various ethnic groups exchanged and tolerated each other. Everyone was very accepting of new things, and many people even regretted that they would not be able to taste the local delicacies of the small vassal states.

Coincidentally, in the real world, because Bai Tan lives alone and wanders around, he often cooks by himself and memorizes a lot of recipes, which he can learn from.

He spent the whole night rummaging through his guts to sort out dozens of special dishes.

Early the next morning, Bai Tan entered the city accompanied by Lao Du.

Speaking of restaurants and restaurants, the Guan family now only has one of each, located in the east and west of the city, and the names are very perfunctory, called "Guan's restaurant" and "Guan's restaurant".Bai Tan's plan is to temporarily close all the other shops, raise some money, vigorously rectify these two, and wait until there is working capital, then redecorate the other shops and start from scratch.

The air in summer is always smoky, with a taste of drunkenness, even if it is only around [-] o'clock in the morning, the power of the sun should not be underestimated.

In the three-story wooden restaurant facing the street, the shopkeeper Hu, who is middle-aged and thin, is leaning behind the counter, fiddling with beads, his withered lips muttering words, and his short beard is raised from time to time. When he fell again, the look of sadness on his face became even more serious.

The restaurant is located at the core of Zhuque Street, which is very convenient. The long street goes east and the residents at the end are either rich or expensive. There are also antique shops and fragrant powder pavilions around. As far as the eye can see, there are rows of them neatly lined up, and there are people walking in front of the door. Ruzhi, the traffic is busy, and there is a lot of smoke and fire in the market, but there are not many people going to this Guan's restaurant.

Shopkeeper Hu squinted his slender eyes like bamboo strips, watching one after another "money bags" pass by in front of him with hatred, and inadvertently saw Boss Lin who was standing at the door of the pastry shop to welcome customers. An old face with a smile as bright as a chrysanthemum, wrinkled and wrinkled, is simply indecent.

"Hmph." Shopkeeper Hu smiled coldly.

The shop clerk was sleeping with her cheeks upright at first, when she heard this sound, she pulled herself together and stretched, and was about to say something when she saw a young girl in plain clothes with a white gauze covering her face sharply. Not slow, walked over like a leisurely stroll.

Although he couldn't see his face clearly, he could vaguely see that the other party was of flesh and blood, with hair like clouds, and skin as white as snow. The waiter in the shop had an inexplicable intuition that the woman in plain clothes must be in the prime of life, and eight out of ten she is a stunning beauty.

In fact, not only the waiter in the shop guessed this way, but everyone in the street was more or less amazed and whispered about this person's background.

It should be known that the real peerless beauty not only has a gorgeous face, but also her words and deeds are all seductive.

The shop clerk went home to visit relatives a few days ago, and just turned back yesterday, so Bai Tan had never seen him before, so he just nodded politely, came to the counter, and said with a smile: "Master Hu, I told you the other day. How are you thinking about it?"

There was no one in the store, and shopkeeper Hu was worried that Bai Tan was the "new widow", so he wanted to avoid suspicion, and he didn't lead him to the private room. A trivial matter, let alone three or two days, if the business is closed suddenly, even the income of these current guests will be gone. Besides, our store has not been renovated before. As for the result, you have already done it. You see, it's pretty impressive."

Bai Tan had already made a plan, so he just took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, "Master Hu, let's take a look at this first."

Shopkeeper Hu was a little disapproving, took it casually, glanced at it hastily, and his face changed drastically.The paper recorded in detail how to change the layout of the store, how many things needed to be purchased, the approximate cost of money, and an estimated date when all the repairs would be completed.

Not only that, but the names and functions of the various places are carefully marked in small print next to the sketch, which is quite innovative if you think about it seriously.

Of course, this fire alone is obviously not enough. Bai Tan asked Uncle Du to present the recipe, and watched as shopkeeper Hu flipped it, his narrow and long eyes sparkling.

Bai Tan coughed lightly, and suddenly said: "Take this Buddha jumping over the wall as an example, the required side dishes are abalone, sea cucumber, fish lip, yak hide glue, king oyster mushroom, tendon, flower mushroom, cuttlefish, scallop, quail egg, etc. 58 species, among them, fungi average [-] cents a catty, green vegetables cost a penny per catty..."

He calculated one by one, and said leisurely: "...so, if we sell one hundred copies a day, the net profit will be 57 taels."

These profits are worth more than half a month's income of the Guanjia restaurant. Although the shopkeeper Hu heard his heart pounding, he didn't believe it easily. That's right, I was a little startled, but then I realized that Bai Tan had prepared this in advance, and the frenzy on his face subsided a bit.

Bai Tan observed the words and expressions, and guessed Shopkeeper Hu's concerns, so he simply found a stool, Shi Shiran sat down, and calculated all the dishes clearly one by one.

His tone is relaxed, and his voice is as clear as rain in the sky, which has a strange and soothing effect.

Shopkeeper Hu is also a good mental arithmetic expert. Seeing that Bai Tan was quick and flexible in his speech, without any mistakes or omissions, at the beginning, he kept some short and long thoughts and didn't bother with the abacus. Looking up, the eyes roll round occasionally.

After about eight dishes, the shopkeeper Hu felt overwhelmed and lacked strength, he followed the silent recitation in a panic, his eyes rolled more and more anxiously, after ten dishes, he was completely defeated, and since then he has been convinced by Bai Tan.

Bai Tan took a sip of tea and let out a long sigh of satisfaction, knowing that Shopkeeper Hu could be used for himself in the future.

At that moment, Bai Tan had a long talk with shopkeeper Hu, and settled all matters.Shopkeeper Hu originally thought that Bai Tan was just an ignorant woman, presumably because of her beauty, she was able to climb to Guanye, and her husband's body was not cold, and he came out to show his face, it was really unseemly, and he looked down on "her", now he changed his contempt , saluting respectfully, it can be regarded as recognizing the boss from the bottom of my heart.

In the afternoon, Bai Tan went to the Guan Family Restaurant in the west of the city again, and after a lot of trouble, he managed to subdue Shopkeeper Wen.

Afterwards, the Guan Family Restaurant and Guan Family Restaurant closed their doors to thank guests together, and only a few craftsmen came in and out every day, while the vagrants and little beggars who had been favored by the Guan Family wrote and sang songs one after another, saying that it was Hexian Villa. In the hands of Mrs. Xue, there is an incomparable and precious cookbook, in which there are countless delicacies and delicious nectar, even if the gods in the sky smell it, they will inevitably get drunk in this Gusu city.
