Earn money to support your family in ancient times

Zhang Heng is a student of Bailu Academy. Apart from reading, his only hobby is food. Today happened to be their half-month holiday. He was looking for food on the street. He happened to see the opening of Tangji Restaurant. He heard that he didn’t eat it. After that, he raised his leg and rushed in.

His family runs a bookstore, and he is the only child in the family, with a lot of money.

He took all the skewers in the restaurant and sweated profusely. He drank two pots of sour plum soup by himself. He wanted to buy another pot to bring back, but in the end all the sour plum soup was sold out.

"Zhang Heng, what's the smell on you? Why is it so fragrant!" Zhang Heng passed by his roommate, who looked at him and shrugged his nose, "It still smells spicy!"

"Keep your voice down!" Zhang Heng rushed over to cover his mouth, "If Master hears it, you'll have to scold me again!"

The master has always expected a lot from Zhang Heng, wishing that he would study hard every day, and he hates the fact that he has nothing to wander around looking for food. Every time he is caught, he must be scolded and named by ear.

"Master hasn't come back yet!" The roommate opened his hand in disgust, and sniffed his clothes again, "Why did you go to eat so delicious!"

"Is it so obvious?" Zhang Heng raised his sleeve and smelled it himself.

The roommate rolled his eyes, and said in a bad mood: "Why don't you wait for the master to come and go to the master?"

"Forget it," Zhang Heng fanned his sleeves vigorously, and sat down next to his roommate, "Let me tell you, I went to a newly opened restaurant today, and their family sells a food called Chuan Chuan Xiang, which has a spicy flavor. Then you can choose what you want to eat, and you can choose your own dishes, there is also sour plum soup, sour and sweet, eating skewers until you sweat and drink a big mouthful, it's so refreshing!"

The roommate also knew about Zhang Heng's hobby. Seeing his exaggeration, he looked at him suspiciously: "Is it really so delicious?"

"Of course!" Zhang Heng raised his chin, "Why don't we go there next time? You'll know after eating!"

There are four people in Zhang Heng's dormitory, and they will go out to get together every once in a while, and they will also eat, drink, chat and bond with each other.

Seeing his praise, the roommate nodded and said, "Sure, let's discuss it when they come back, and next time we will go to the restaurant you mentioned!"

The restaurant sent away the last table of guests, Tang Yuan and the others finished cleaning, closed the door, and a few people sat down, and made a pot of string incense for themselves, and ate and talked together.

"Brother Tang! The skewers we prepared today are basically sold out!" Su Nuo took a bite of the white radish, and said vaguely, "I did the math, we made almost two taels today!"

Da Zhuang also excitedly said: "The sour plum soup is also sold out, brother Tang, you should prepare more tomorrow, many customers want nothing in the end, and some customers want to take it away!"

Tang Yuan did some calculations. He spent nearly five taels of silver on decoration and buying some pots and pans, and about five hundred cash on vegetables and meat. Based on today's turnover, he will soon recover the cost .

However, it just opened today, so the business is very hot. After a few days, the novelty will wear off, and the business will not be so good, but with the smell of skewers, the business will not be too bad, so there is no need to worry too much.

Tang Yuan rubbed his wrist: "I see, I will make more sour plum soup, but I think we should invite two more people."

"It's okay Saner!" Huzi ate his mouth full of fat and wiped his mouth, "We are not tired! We don't need to spend that money!"

Da Zhuang also nodded again and again: "Yes, Brother Tang, the few of us are enough!"

"You're not tired, I'm tired!" Tang Yuan squeezed his arms. He had been busy in the kitchen all day. Some customers wanted to order staple food, so he temporarily added fried rice with eggs. There were quite a few people who ordered fried rice. He had to come alone, and he was so tired that he could barely lift his arms, "Okay, it's settled, I'll hire two more people, one will follow me into the kitchen, and the other will be busy cleaning up the dishes!" Today they wash the dishes It took a long time to brush the chopsticks.

Tang Yuan said that he was tired, so it was difficult for others to say anything, Hu Zi said: "Then I will post a notice at the door tomorrow?"

"Okay, let's do it this way," Tang Yuan nodded in agreement, and then began to summarize the shortcomings of the few people, "Brother Huzi, you are a bit messy with Da Zhuang today, you can just carry the pot back and forth tomorrow, and greet the guests Hand it over to Da Zhuang and Nuo Geer, try to be as fast as possible when you settle the bill, otherwise the guests will get impatient if you wait for a long time."

Several people listened carefully and kept it in their hearts.

After a few people had finished eating and packed up, Tang Yuan told Hu Zi to remember to get the goods he had ordered from several shops in advance tomorrow morning, and then he took Su Nuo and Da Zhuang back to the village.

When they returned to the village, it was already half dark, and the moonlight was sparse today. To avoid accidents, Tang Yuan drove slowly.

A few people walked halfway, and saw a bullock cart approaching quickly on the opposite side.

Tang Yuan hurriedly avoided, and when the ox cart approached, he found that it turned out to be a person from their village.

"It seems to be Uncle Zhang, is the one sitting on it Uncle Hu?" Su Nuo saw the person on the bullock cart, turned his head to Da Zhuang and said, "Is the one lying on the bullock cart Mo Geer?"

Da Zhuang thought about it for a while, opened his eyes wide and said, "Really, it's Brother Hu Mo!"

Hu Mo is a brother of the same age as Su Nuo in the village, and he usually plays well with Su Nuo. Now that Su Nuo saw him lying on the bullock cart, and the bullock cart was still driving to the town so fast, he knew that something must happen to him. He said anxiously to Tang Yuan: "Brother Tang, you go back first, I'll go and have a look!"

How could it be possible for Tang Yuan to let Su Nuo and his brother stay outside at night, and firmly refused: "No, it will be dark soon, I can't let you stay outside alone."

Seeing that he looked very anxious again, he comforted him: "Don't worry, wasn't there a middle-aged man sitting in the car just now? That should be his family. Since his family is with you, there is no use for you to go there." .”

"If you're really worried about him, go see him tomorrow."

Su Nuo saw the bullock cart going far away, and he couldn't catch up. He raised his eyebrows, bit his lip and said, "That middle-aged man is Brother Mo's father, but... Huber can't speak, I'm afraid In case Brother Mo can't speak now, it will delay him."

"You mean...his father is dumb?" Tang Yuan asked softly, seeing Su Nuo's worried face, he said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, his father can't speak, isn't the driver Zhang Bo? Now, the Brother Mo you mentioned may not be seriously injured and can speak by himself."

He paused, and said again: "Or should I turn around and go back now?"

"No need, Brother Tang!" Su Nuo quickly shook his head, "You are right, no matter how bad it is, there is still Uncle Zhang."

If he went to the town now, he might not be able to return to the village until midnight. Brother Tang is already very tired today, and the shop cannot be without him for a moment. He can't be so selfish.

Tang Yuan didn't know Hu Mo well. Hearing that Su Nuo had given up his mind, he rushed back to the village with a whip.

As soon as Su Nuo got home, he hurriedly asked Su's mother, "Mother, is brother Mo sick? I just saw him lying on the bullock cart and heading to town."

"Sit down and have a rest," Su Mu pulled Su Nuo to sit down, and sighed, "Today, Brother Mo was chopping firewood on the mountain, and he accidentally fell, and just happened to be caught in the trap set by the hunter. When Dad carried him down, half of his clothes were dirty, so I begged Uncle Zhang to take Brother Mo to the town to find a doctor."

The situation in Humo's family is even worse than Su Nuo's. His father is dumb, his mother is weak, has eye problems, and sees things blurred. He also has an older brother who carries bags at the pier and doesn't usually go home.

There is not much land in the family, and it is barely enough to fill his stomach after one year. His elder brother has to go to the fields with his father to find work every day, and also take care of his mother, which is more tiring than Su Nuo used to be.

"Mother, you go to Brother Mo's house tomorrow to give some money, I'm afraid his family has no money to treat his injuries." Su Nuo took out most of the money he earned these days, "I don't know if this is enough."

Mother Su opened her mouth, but she didn't stop her. She also knew the situation of Hu Mo's family, so she definitely wouldn't be able to pay much money. She also watched Hu Mo grow up. She always greeted him politely, and she couldn't bear to see the child become disabled, besides, it was Nuoge'er's own money, so he could give it to him if he wanted.

"Okay, I'll send it to his mother tomorrow." Mother Su nodded and agreed.

He also made hot water for Su Nuo to wash. Su Nuo was also very tired today, his eyelids were clotted with sleepiness, and he fell asleep after a while.

It was still dark the next day, so Tang Yuan drove to the store. They had to prepare the ingredients in advance.

Huzi has already brought back the ordered goods. Tang Yuan had already made the sour plum soup before going back yesterday, and now he just needs to stir up some base ingredients.

Huzi, Da Zhuang, and Su Nuo all sat on the side to make skewers, while Tang Yuan was frying the base ingredients, and got everything ready before lunch.

"Hurry up and eat, the guests will come later." Tang Yuan cooked three dishes, bought another drawer of big steamed buns and steamed buns, first put one in Su Nuo's bowl, "Eat quickly."

Da Zhuang and Hu Zi agreed, and then began to eat.

Su Nuo, on the other hand, gnawed on the steamed stuffed bun absently, with worry on his brows.

Tang Yuan watched, and when Da Zhuang and Hu Zi finished eating and cleaned up the table, he quietly pulled Su Nuo aside, and said in a low voice, "Still worried about your friend? Why don't you go and see him, about collecting money I'll let Brother Huzi bear it first."

"How can this be done? The store will be too busy!" Su Nuo rejected Tang Yuan's proposal, with a look of hesitation on his face again, as if he had made up his mind, he said, "Brother Tang, you said yesterday that you would recruit Man, can you think about Brother Mo's mother and his father?"

He was afraid that Tang Yuan would dislike Hu's father and Hu's mother, so he hurriedly said: "Although his father can't speak, he used to beat people in the back kitchen of the restaurant in the town, and he was quick to do things. Although his mother is in poor health, she can wash It’s okay to do things like bowls!”

Su Nuo also felt that his proposal was a little too much, he didn't dare to look at Tang Yuan after he finished speaking, and kept wringing his fingers while bowing his head.

There was a chuckle in his ear, he raised his head in a daze, and then his forehead was tapped.

"I haven't said anything yet, you just lower your head and don't dare to look at me? Am I that scary?" There was a little red between the white and smooth forehead in front of him, Tang Yuan couldn't help but raised his hand and rubbed it lightly, "The matter of recruiting, If they want to come, come and show me, and if the conditions are met, they can stay."

Anyway, there is nothing wrong with recruiting people as long as they meet the requirements, and he believes in Nuo Geer, and believes that he will definitely not deliberately deceive him for others.

The author has something to say: Tang Yuan: Brother Nuo only favors me.
