Farming and slapping face through time travel

The bricks and tiles used in this courtyard are not like the red and green bricks and tiles of restaurants, but simple black tiles. The main house has two floors, and there is a pavilion on it, which is quite rare. It is probably used for admiring the stars and the moon. Yes, it would be great to eat mooncakes and eat melon seeds on it during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The courtyard is shaped like a door, and the backyard corresponds to the area of ​​the restaurant. Therefore, the courtyard is very wide. There is a huge flower bed in the center of the patio, and a huge saponin tree is planted in it. It’s June, and the flowering period of saponins is over, the ground is full of withered and withered flowers, the crown of the saponins trees has completely covered the entire yard, and some inconspicuous saponins have fallen on the crowns, and the fine sunlight is shining from the top of the head Come down, when the wind blows, the shadows of the trees on the ground are swaying, showing that the courtyard is unusually comfortable and peaceful. The last time Shen Jiyao came to visit, he just took a quick glance at the trees, and he didn't know what kind of tree it was. Come on, after looking at it carefully for a while this time, I feel more and more that this yard is really too desirable.

If he made money in the future, he would definitely buy it, Shen Jiyao couldn't help thinking to himself.

The people over there have been amazed since they entered the yard. They could no longer control their legs, and they all looked around in the yard. First, they looked at the well and the pulley in a corner of the yard. Xu Rong even happily stirred the pulley. Bringing a bucket of water up for a few people to drink, and when they were full, they went down to the tree to pick up withered flowers and smell them left and right. Wang Yueer looked at the saponins the size of a fingernail covering the tree and happily pointed it out to Wang Baoer, and Wang Baoer did the same. She was so happy that she looked at Shen Jiyao excitedly, and said, "Brother Shen, this saponin can be boiled in water to wash clothes in the future, so you don't have to spend money to buy it."

Seeing that they were so happy, Shen Jiyao was also in a very happy mood. He nodded with a smile and said, "Well, but I can't. Will you endure it?"

Wang Yue'er happily said: "Of course, it's easy, just leave it to me when the saponins are ripe, and I will wash your clothes for you in the future."

Shen Jiyao nodded noncommittally, he looked at the yard that he liked very much, his gentle face was full of smiles, Lan Qianjue stood beside him holding Xiaodoumi and watched for a while, Xiaodoumi looked at Xu who was jumping up and down Rong screamed, his clear eyes were full of excitement, and he couldn't stop jumping in Lan Qianjue's arms. Lan Qianjue raised his hand and patted Xiao Doumi, with a faint smile on his lips: "Is there such a thing?" It’s much better in summer when it’s covered by trees.”

"That's natural, 32 taels a month, it's not a loss." Shen Jiyao said with a smile: "Although the location is a bit remote, but we can advertise, let's go inside and have a look?"

Lan Qianjue hummed without asking what Shen Jiyao meant by advertising, and the two walked together to the main house directly opposite.

They also have their own rules. Although they wanted to see what the house looked like, they didn't rush to visit the house before Shen Jiyao went to see it. They just looked around in the courtyard excitedly. At this time Seeing that they were going to see the house, they followed them consciously.

Several people followed behind him noisily, eager to see what the room looked like. Shen Jiyao walked to the steps, and then thought of something, so he didn't rush to open the door to go in, but turned around and said to the few people : "In the future, I plan to hire a few more people, and the chef who holds the spoon will hire about seven or eight people. There are nine houses in this backyard. Except for the three rooms in our main house and an extra woodshed, there are still a few houses left. There are three rooms on each side of the bottom, that is, six rooms, counting by recruiting seven more people, plus five of you, that is 12 people, and it happens to be two people in one room, so now how many of you can choose which ones to give priority to? Let me live in a room by myself, and when the time comes, I will hire three more women, so that Yue'er will have companions."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yong laughed and said impatiently, "I'll share a room with you, Xu Rong."

Xu Rong put away his playful face, and said solemnly: "I don't share a room with you, I share a room with Wang Baoer, and you share a room with Goudan. They all have defects, and we just happen to take care of each other, otherwise they will be together. It’s inconvenient to do anything together, if you say so.”

Zhang Yongyi thought it was true, so naturally he had no objection, so he simply said: "Okay, then I will share with Goudan, little stammer, and I will take care of you from now on."

Zhang Goudan said disapprovingly: "You, you, you, you are the one who stutters."

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw this, this dog egg is simply a living treasure, as long as he opens his mouth, even if what he said is not funny, but as long as he hears his tone of voice, it is enough to make people laugh, even though a group of people often Taking a dog egg for fun, but the relationship between the seven of them is very good, not like the master and the slave, but like a family of brothers and sisters, the rare thing is that the five of them are not proud of being favored, they can distinguish between master and servant, But never use this relationship to restrain yourself, but respect each other, treat others wholeheartedly, others will naturally feel your goodness, just like Shen Jiyao and Lan Qianjue treat several people equally and with heart, they are very grateful, so I still With the most sincere feelings in general.

Shen Jiyao was naturally very satisfied to see them helping each other like this. This Xu Rong is really not ordinary sensible, he is responsible and has insight.

"Go and choose a room that you like." After Lan Qianjue finished speaking, he pushed the door into the room with Xiaodoumi in his arms, and Shen Jiyao quickly followed after seeing this.

After entering the house, Shen Jiyao was dumbfounded. Although the house is not very big, it is quite satisfactory. There is a main hall for receiving guests. There are a row of chairs and a square coffee table on the left and right sides of the hall. Zhang Taishi chair, and the left and right sides of the hall are separated by screens and bead curtains to form two rooms. Shen Jiyao bypasses the screen and lifts the bead curtain on the left to enter the room. Inside is a study room with complete tables and chairs, bookcases and utensils. There are also, but there are no books.

There is no door in the room, only a hanging window facing the courtyard, and the light in the study also relies on this window. Shen Jiyao went up to touch the solid wood desk with a surprised expression, and couldn't help sighing: "I don't know how this building is. What kind of person is the original owner of the restaurant, who understands the mood of life so well, not to mention the magnificent repair of the house, and the various furnishings inside are also very generous and decent. Even if such a restaurant does not do business, living in this backyard This kind of enjoyment, I don’t know why the owner wants to rent out this building, wouldn’t it be better to keep it for yourself.”

"Perhaps it's not in the town anymore, and seeing that the furnishings in this house are so generous, I'm afraid they don't care about such a small amount of money, so they handed over this building to the supervisor and asked them to rent this restaurant for them." Lan Qianjue He was holding Xiao Doumi around a screen in the study, wanting to see what was behind it, he turned to the back to take a look, and was a little surprised, it turned out that there was a solid wooden imperial concubine couch.

Seeing him go to the screen, Shen Jiyao followed him and said, "How do you know that the owner of this house was handed over to the supervisor instead of being sold to the supervisor?"

As he spoke, he walked around the screen and saw this imperial concubine's couch, he was instantly stunned, the main house was so humane that even Xiaoxie's couch was prepared.

Lan Qianjue had regained his composure. He patted Xiaodoumi who couldn't help writhing his buttocks, and said, "If you sell it to the supervisor, do you think these good things in the house can still be kept?"

Shen Jiyao thought about it again, and he couldn't help but said worriedly: "Then if the owner comes back, it will be bad if he wants us to move out. Do we have to go to the supervisory office to draw up a deed, and we can just talk to them?" Set a deadline, so that if someone comes to drive us away, they can demand liquidated damages from the supervisor.”

"Probably not." Lan Qianjue said: "Since the owner rented out the house, I'm afraid he won't come back in a short time, and I asked the supervisor before, and he said that the restaurant was only rented once, and he didn't do it for half a year. Well, depending on the situation, the owner has not been away for a long time, and it is estimated that he will not come back in a year or a half, so there is no need to worry."

Shen Jiyao finally felt relieved. The two looked at the study for a while, and then went to visit the inner room on the right. This inner room is more comfortable. The solid wood bed is very strong and wide, and there is a bed rail on the inside. This bed is wide enough to sleep in the future. You don't have to worry about crushing Xiaodoumi when you turn over.

There are as many wardrobes as clothes racks in the house. There are also hanging windows in the inner room. A table and chairs are placed under the window. The table is covered with a beautiful tablecloth and a tea set is placed on it. Shen Jiyao may be the only one who watches TV. Besides, the nicest house I've seen in this world.

Even though Lan Qianjue was not surprised, he was quite excited at this moment, but not as excited as Shen Jiyao. He touched here and looked there from time to time, and then set up the hanging window to look into the yard. Rong also happened to lift up the hanging window, and when he saw Shen Jiyao, he immediately smiled cheerfully as a greeting.

Shen Jiyao asked, "How is your house?"

"Very good." Xu Rong said, "Have everything."

When Shen Jiyao heard the words, he and Lan Qianjue went to their room to have a look.

There are also ready-made utensils in these few rooms, beds, tables and chairs, and the furnishings in the six rooms are similar. It seems that this is indeed a place where servants are specially placed.

The few people were extremely satisfied with the yard. After reading it, they left the backyard contentedly, told the painter, and went back to the village when they saw that the weather was getting late.

In the early morning of the second day, Shen Jiyao handed Xiaodoumi to Wang Yueer, and he went to the county with Lan Qianjue to buy some more servants. As for the master spoon master, Shen Jiyao really didn't know where to find it for a while, so he planned to go there From time to time, try to hire a cook by putting up a fast sign on the street. If it really doesn't work, go to the supervisory market and ask where you can find someone.

The two went to the county together to buy three women. They were about sixteen or seventeen years old. They were all sallow, thin and thin, and looked timid, but they looked obedient and obedient. Shen Jiyao had already arranged their work. , Just wash dishes and vegetables in the backyard. In addition, they bought two simple-looking teenagers, took them to the yamen to draw up a deed of sale, and then brought them back to the village.

Opening a restaurant not only requires spending money everywhere, but it is also extremely busy. The two of them had to find a cook after buying the clerk. For this reason, the two had to run outside under the sun every day for the past few days. It was so hot that they were sweating when they moved, and the few people they just bought were handed over to Wang Yueer and others to take care of them. Even Xiaodoumi was brought home only when they came home, and they were so busy spinning like a spinning top.

However, they ran all over the county and town, but they still couldn't find a cook.

For this reason, Shen Jiyao felt very strange. It is fine if you can't find a cook in a small town, but why can't you find a cook in such a large county town? In desperation, the two had to go to the supervisory hall, and now they are in charge The supervisor is Zhang Chengde, a tall man with a beard. He said: "It's hard to find such a cook. If anyone has this skill, they will choose to open their own shop. Besides, these cooks are actually taught by the master. Apprentices, apprentices teach apprentices, and after the church, they directly take over the position of the master or are recommended by the master to work in other restaurants. This is almost always the case. The restaurants are welcoming guests in the east, Jubaozhai in the west, and Sifangke in the south. They are still hiring cooks. Even if there are, they are all robbed by these restaurants. You don’t know Ah, the battle between these few families is very fierce, and there will often be an insider who secretly learns how to cook, so this cook is only willing to hand over his skills to someone he trusts, not everyone can do it. What I learned is that there are so few cooks."

Shen Jiyao nodded in a daze, because he still has these specialties in his heart, so in this way, if he wants to find two cooks, he can only cultivate them by himself?

Shen Jiyao thoughtfully said goodbye to the prison market and left the prison hall. He stood outside the hall and said to Lan Qianjue: "Otherwise, let's buy two more people and sign a death contract, and then I will teach them how to deal with it." Even if you can't learn how to stir-fry, it's good to help me knead the noodles, fry the chicken and cut up some dishes, what do you think?"

"Now I can't find a cook, so that's the only way to go." Lan Qianjue looked a little disappointed, he stood face to face with Shen Jiyao, then reached out to hold Shen Jiyao's hand, and said, "I'm just afraid that you will be overwhelmed if you are too tired." Physically, a small shop that has been open for half a year is enough to suffer, and now you have to cook by yourself, if there are many customers, how can you bear it."

Shen Jiyao said with a smile: "It depends on the situation. If someone helps me, I will only be responsible for seasoning and cooking. It's not too tiring, and after a long time, they can almost see the simple dishes. When frying those dishes Naturally, I don’t need it, and I will only be responsible for the difficult ones.”

Lan Qianjue thought for a while, and said, "How about I help you, I've already seen a few of the dishes you cooked, if you really want to learn, it's not too difficult."

Shen Jiyao's eyes lit up, and he just wanted to say yes, but then he considered a lot of problems, so he had to say: "If you cook for me, who will take care of the front, and no one will charge you."

Lan Qianjue said: "Let Yue'er collect the money. Didn't she also collect the money from the small shop before? I'm afraid I can't compare to her in collecting money. Let me help you."

Shen Jiyao thought about it carefully. Although collecting cash is a big deal, Wang Yue'er has been with them for so long. She is indeed a good girl. She doesn't hide a coin and is very trustworthy, so she said, "Alright, then I'll teach you how to cook. Anyway, the fat and water don’t flow into the field of outsiders. If I teach outsiders, I guess I will hide it and refuse to pay it all. In this case, let’s buy two more laborers, one of them will replace you, and the other will replace Xu Rong. Yes, I plan to teach him how to cook, what do you think?"

Lan Qianjue agreed: "Xu Rong is really good, so let's teach him."

After the two discussed it, they went directly to the county to buy two young men, so that the matter of the clerk and the cook would be settled, and Shen Jiyao felt relieved.

The next step is the things needed to buy a restaurant. They first made a plaque. The name of the restaurant was still thought up by Shen Jiyao. It is very eye-catching. As soon as the plaque was hung up, the momentum of the restaurant went up a few more levels in an instant, causing people on the street to look at the signboard and say that the tone of the shopkeeper is not so small. Before Shen Jiyao went to promote his restaurant , has been famous for a while, and this matter has become an interesting talk after dinner.

The next step is to buy other things, pots and pans are not lacking in these restaurants, just buy some spoons and chopsticks, bamboo sieves for serving dishes, dipping plates and other things, of course, the most important thing is casserole and brazier , These two things are indispensable, I will need them when making hot pot in the future. When it comes to making hot pot, Shen Jiyao is a little bit worried again. If you want to cook hot pot, you can’t use firewood like in the stove, so you still have to use charcoal, but the charcoal you make yourself is more There are some problems more or less, the smoke is very large.

Shen Jiyao had been secretly worrying about this matter for a long time, but he didn't want to solve it by talking about it unintentionally.

The two went to a pottery shop together to buy a casserole. This casserole was called a pottery pot by the locals. As the name suggests, it was made of pottery. Shen Jiyao told Lan Qianjue about it while choosing the pottery pot. The shopkeeper who was choosing pottery pots for them said: "This charcoal is for sale. It is in the west of the city. The shop is next to a bird seller. You can go to his house to buy. His charcoal is very good. Burn it." Not only does it not smoke, but it is also very resistant to burning, all of which are made of high-quality wood, but the price is not cheap, five yuan a catty."

Shen Jiyao cheered up instantly, and said: "Five yuan is really not cheap, but a catty of charcoal is quite a lot, as long as it is sold, thank you, shopkeeper, I want fifteen clay pots of this style, can you help me?" I'll do it well, I'll pay you one tael of silver as a deposit first, you write a note to me, and when it's done, you can send it to Liuxian Restaurant in the north of Zhenbei for me, and I'll pay you the rest of the money, you See if it works?" Shen Jiyao said as he picked up a gray-black pottery pot and showed it to the shopkeeper, signaling that he wanted this kind of pottery pot.

"Liuxian Tower?" The shopkeeper read it in a low voice, and felt that the name sounded familiar. After thinking for a while, he was surprised and said, "It's the newly opened Liuxian Tower in the north of Zhenbei? Oh, aren't you the shopkeeper? Really It’s better to be famous than to meet, I never thought that my brother would have such ambition at such a young age, I admire him.”

Shen Jiyao was a little embarrassed. He only learned about the anecdote about Liuxian Tower in the past few days. He originally wanted to choose a high-end name, but now it became a name that reflects his "ambition". Shen Jiyao smiled, Then he said: "It's just a gimmick, not worth mentioning."

The store owner said indifferently: "Hey, what's the matter, the name of this restaurant is just to be exaggerated, there are really some people who like to go to the name of the restaurant, but I have to remind my little brother, those who go to the name of the restaurant You have to pay attention to the people who are here, maybe they are here to make trouble."

"Thank you for the store's reminder, I will remember." Shen Jiyao said: "Then I will trouble you, I need fifteen."

The shopkeeper took the pot and said, "Okay, I'll send it to you when I'm done."

Shen Jiyao hummed, waited for the shopkeeper to give him a note, then handed over the money and left.

After ordering the pottery pot, Shen Jiyao and Lan Qianjue went to the west of the city to order charcoal.

Because they wanted so much, the charcoal seller was also willing to give them a bargain, and finally negotiated for ten copper coins and three catties, and agreed to pick it up in two days.

The two of them had been busy for several days, and after buying these miscellaneous things, they returned to the village. They planned to bring a few people to the town to buy rice iron pots in two days, and then move all the pots and utensils in the snack alley. Come to the restaurant, and then hand over the store to the supervisor, it's almost done, just wait for the tables and chairs to be ready, the paint to be done, and the recipes to be prepared, then you can choose a date to open.

There were seven more people in the yard, and there was no place to live in an instant. They stayed in the yard during the day and stayed at Da Zhuang's house at night. As soon as the two returned to the yard, they felt that they couldn't get around.

Shen Jiyao bought seven people and didn't have time to communicate with them, so he finally had time today, so he gathered everyone in the courtyard to get to know each other.

Those three were real sisters, because there were too many sisters in the family, so they sold the biggest ones, leaving only a few younger ones, so their names are very simple, they are big sister, second sister, third sister, Wu surname, the sisters are timid and cowardly, and their looks are not iconic but pleasing to the eye.

The names of the four teenagers are not like these sisters, they are called Zhao Mao'er, Zhao Gouzi, Li Erquan and Li Erfu, they are also brothers.

Looking at this group of people, Shen Jiyao felt a little overwhelmed. Except for the women's names, his mind was full of cats and dogs, and he couldn't remember them at all. He originally wanted to choose a few for them to be easier to remember. Their names are like those of those women, the eldest brother, the second brother, the third brother and the fourth brother, but after thinking about it, the names were given by their parents, so changing their names on their own initiative may give them some ideas.

Shen Jiyao cleared his throat and said, "Since we are together, we are all a family. We are going to open a restaurant in the town soon. Yue'er, Xu Rong, when the time comes, you guys will spend some time teaching them how to serve customers." What to do when you come here, how to order food, as long as you follow me well, I will definitely not treat you badly, and when the restaurant makes money in the future, I will send you some monthly money every month, do you have any opinions?"

A group of people shook their heads without raising their heads.

Shen Jiyao nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Then it's settled like this. You guys should take a good rest these few days, and move to the town when the time comes."

Xu Rong said, "Brother Shen, when are we going to move to the town?"

Shen Jiyao said: "The paint has been painted, and the tables and chairs will probably take a few days to make. Tomorrow, let's move all the things in the snack alley to the restaurant, clean the restaurant, and wait for the tables and chairs to come. Choose a day and then we will be ready." Can open."

Xu Rong hummed, and then said: "Then what you said last time about Xuan, when are you going to do it?"

"Propaganda?" Shen Jiyao looked at Xu Rong, saw him nodding, and said, "You can go tomorrow when you are moving things, and you can buy a gong, drum and big cymbals to create momentum, and that's about it."

Xu Rong happily replied: "Okay, I will leave the drumming to me."

The newcomer Li Erfu whispered: "I know the big cymbal, let me do it."

"Okay, that's it."

The next day.

A group of people walked out of the village in a mighty manner, and the people in the village were baffled.

The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law stood in their yard and looked at the group of people going away, and said eccentrically: "Oh, what do you think they made a fortune to buy so many slaves, look at that shameless guy just now That proud look almost didn't float into the sky!"

The second sister-in-law kept shaking her son in her arms to coax him, and said: "I heard from Mrs. Wang that they have opened a restaurant now. Don't you think it's strange? Back then, they only opened a dilapidated food stall, but now they even open a restaurant. I'm afraid It’s because of some shady deeds that it won’t work, so let’s go and see if you want to.”

The sister-in-law looked jealous and said: "Okay, I really don't like seeing him like that. He really runs a restaurant. Let's wait for them to do business on the day they do business. I will see if the God of Wealth will go to his house."

The second sister-in-law said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, this method of yours is not good enough. If you interfere with the successful opening of the business, I'm afraid there will be no business in the future."

"Don't talk about me, don't you want to see if they get rich?"

"Of course I don't want to. I wish they were so poor that they could eat tree bark."

The sister-in-law said disapprovingly: "That's it, you go and take the child to Qianming, let's go and have a look together."

The second sister-in-law sighed, went back to the house and handed the child to Lan Qianming, then followed a group of people secretly with the elder sister-in-law and went to the town.

After Shen Jiyao bought gongs, drums and big cymbals for the two of them, he called everyone to move things to the small shop. Because a group of people went there early in the morning, they saw a scene that moved Shen Jiyao as soon as they arrived in the town. His snack bar In front of the door, twenty or thirty diners gathered, all talking about the fact that they had not seen the owner for a long time, and how much they missed the breakfast made by the owner.

Shen Jiyao walked over, and when everyone saw it, they greeted him one after another, and said, "Shopkeeper Shen, have you come back to open a shop? Where have you been these days? My wife often clamors to eat the cakes you made. Wait!" Compared to the enthusiasm of this group of diners, the shopkeepers in the snack alley saw Shen Jiyao, and they all looked bitter and hatred. They were really afraid that Shen Jiyao would come to compete with them for business again. After he left, the business Finally better.

Someone else said: "Since I ate your breakfast, I can't eat other people's home. You can open a shop quickly, but I'm so hungry."

A group of people chattered, Shen Jiyao was moved and helpless, he quickly raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said: "Thank you for your kindness, I will not open this small shop, and go to Zhenbei to open a restaurant, that is, these days Thing, if you don’t dislike it, don’t forget to try it when the shop opens.”

"How can you open a restaurant if you're so good, then can you still sell the breakfast you made before?"

Shen Jiyao said: "Sell, there will be other breakfasts at that time, and there will be various special stir-fried dishes at noon and evening. You can come and try them at that time."

"Well then, since that's the case, we'll wait for your restaurant to open!"

Shen Jiyao hurriedly said: "Thank you for your support, we will definitely live up to everyone's expectations."

A group of people chattered a lot, and then left.

Shen Jiyao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Unexpectedly, I also earned a group of loyal fans. Let's all move."

Except for Shen Jiyao, who was holding Xiaodoumi, who didn't move with him, the group of people more or less took something, Xu Rong and Li Erfu walked in front of the group empty-handed, beat drums and cymbals as they walked, and shouted: "Come again, sir!" Let’s change the location of the restaurant, it’s in Liuxian Building in the north of the town, everyone is welcome to take a look, there are all kinds of delicious food! I guarantee everyone’s satisfaction.”

Passers-by heard the yelling and realized that Liuxian Tower was opened by a well-known brother in this town, so they all followed behind a group of people to watch the fun.

The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law were also among them, and the two watched the scene just now, they were so jealous that this brother actually has such an ability to win people's hearts!

The sister-in-law gritted her teeth and said, "We must not let him be complacent any longer."

The second sister-in-law said with a smile: "Let's come on the day he opens, and have some fun for him."

"You think of a way."

"Okay, sister-in-law just wait and watch the show."
