Earn money to support your family in ancient times

"Guest officer, please come inside! What do you want to eat? We have everything here!" Zhao's restaurant has been full of customers these two days, and the guys are also very busy.

With a family, the guest waved to the waiter and said, "Bring up your eggplant, rouge goose breast, and fried quail. In addition, a few side dishes and a pot of sake will be served."

Today is his mother's birthday, so the whole family came out to have a good meal. The three dishes he ate at Mr. Zhao's birthday banquet last time were good. They sound delicious and his mother will definitely like them!

The man said loudly and authentically: "Okay! Please go upstairs!"

The guy took them to the box on the second floor and said with a smile, "Wait a moment, I'll serve you right away!"

"Boss, is the food here really delicious?" The old lady looked at her son suspiciously.

The man poured a cup of tea for his mother, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, it must be delicious! My son had it at Mr. Zhao's birthday banquet before! It's even better than the one in Baishanlou!"

The man's daughter-in-law calculated the bill, and said with some distress: "Such a table of dishes costs at least seven or eight taels of silver."

"It's worth it!" The man teased his son in his arms, and looked at his wife, "Let me tell you, this is all passed down from the noble families of the previous dynasty, and the emperors of the previous dynasty have tasted it! It's complicated to make. It should be more expensive.”

"Really?" The man's daughter-in-law wiped her son's saliva with a handkerchief, and then said, "I heard that the dishes in Baishanlou are also made by the imperial chef. You just said that the dishes here are better than those in Baishanlou. Have a good taste later."

"What is the imperial kitchen? Mostly Baishanlou said it to bluff people. It's not that you haven't eaten Baishanlou's dishes, so the taste is better than ordinary restaurants." For a small amount, a dish costs three or four taels of silver, which is much more expensive than the ones here!"

Just as he was talking, a waiter came up with dishes, spread them out on the table, and spoke nicely, introducing them in a babbling manner.

The man’s daughter-in-law waited for her mother-in-law with two chopsticks, and she also picked up a piece of rouge goose breast. The name sounds good and the color is also good-looking. The man also said that it was the favorite of the noble girl from the previous court. She was looking forward to this dish first. A little bit, imitating how much Miss Everyone behaves.

Once in the mouth, it is really fat but not greasy, without the slightest fishy smell, which makes people saliva.

"The taste is really better than that of the Baishan Building!" Her eyes lit up, and she praised the man. The son in her arms was drooling and clamoring for food, so she quickly stuffed a mouthful for him too.

"Father! Mother! Delicious! Delicious!" the son waved his chubby hand and babbled.

The old lady loved her grandson, and it was good to eat the eggplant in her mouth, and she also gave her grandson a chopstick: "My dear grandson, try this eggplant, it's delicious too!"

The son opened his mouth to eat, and two chubby hands held the bowl to eat with this bibimbap.

The man's daughter-in-law and the old lady were all overjoyed, and quickly scooped up two spoons for him. This kid never likes to eat, and he usually has to be chased and coaxed to eat. It's strange when he is so eager to eat!

The son ate with his head buried, and occasionally raised his head to ask his mother to pick a piece of goose breast for him. In the end, he ate until his belly rolled and he burped.

Seeing that her grandson was eating happily, the old lady was also happy. In addition, the food was really delicious. After hearing the introduction from the waiter, it was eaten by the nobles in the past.

The man's daughter-in-law didn't care about money any more, and she said to the man, "Your husband, you are right, this place is better than the one in Baishanlou! It's only seven or eight taels of silver, much cheaper than that in Baishanlou! Next time It's my mother's birthday, let's eat again!"

Although their family is considered well-off, they can't eat such extravagant noodles often, at most once or twice a year.

The man was considerate to his wife, and put the last fried quail into her bowl. While the old lady was coaxing her grandson, he leaned into her ear and whispered: "When it's your birthday, I will quietly buy it back for you to eat."

The daughter-in-law blushed, and the old lady caught her eye, touched her grandson's head, smiled and shook her head.

The business of Zhao's restaurant is getting better and better, but the business of Baishanlou is getting worse and worse. Many regular customers of Baishanlou have gone to Zhao's restaurant.

However, Mr. Sun couldn't say anything. He was doing business in a serious way and grabbed the business with good food, so it was reasonable no matter what.

He wanted to find out where the Zhao's restaurant got the recipe, but he couldn't find out. He wanted to repeat the trick and sent someone to the Zhao's restaurant to steal the recipe, but he didn't dare. After all, if the Zhao's caught him, the magistrate Nor will he defend him like last time.

Want to poach the cook, the cook has worked in Zhao's restaurant for more than ten years, and the salary paid by Zhao's restaurant is also high, and the cook himself didn't spend much time, so he couldn't dig it out.

So Mr. Sun could only vent his anger on the so-called imperial chef of Baishan Building, urging him to quickly research new dishes to attract customers back, but that "imperial chef" was only half a bucket of water, so how could he come up with new dishes? , Seeing Master Sun scolding all the time, he slapped the knife and said to Master Sun: "If you are not satisfied with me, I will leave now!"

This "royal cook" is not afraid of Mr. Sun dismissing him, there are rumors of his name in two nearby towns, at worst he will go to another town to find a job!

Master Sun's face was livid, and he choked on his chest. At least he didn't choke himself out, but he had no choice but to bear it.

If Baishanlou lost even this "royal chef", the remaining business would be taken away.

Master Sun was anxious and angry, and he was not too young. He fell ill within two days. The doctor said that he should take a good rest, and he didn't know when he would recover.

Hearing the news, Tang Yuan let out a breath, and the smile on his face became brighter.

But he was happy for a while and passed away. He was busy persuading Su's father to go to Bailu Academy.

Originally, both Su's mother and Su Nuo were in favor of this matter, but Su's father refused no matter what.

"Why are you so stubborn! It's been so many years! If you had gone to the academy to pay homage to your husband, you might have passed the exam!" Su's mother was so angry that her eyes were red, "Now Xiaoyuan will ask you, Why don't you go!"

Father Su was silent for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Yuan also said that there is an exam to enter the academy. I am so old, and people will laugh when they find out."

Mother Su's face turned red with anger, and she said loudly, "Who would make a joke! Where did so many young talents come from! Even in their seventies and eighties, everyone would be happy to be admitted! No one from a good academy would pick this one!"

"Besides, I didn't see that you would pay attention to this before!"

Seeing that his mother was very angry, Su Nuo quickly helped to stroke his chest, and persuaded Su's father, "Father, just listen to mother."

Father Su kept silent and just shook his head.

Tang Yuan looked at it for a while, then said, "Uncle Su, are you worried about Shu Xiu?"

For academies like Bailu Academy, at least 20 taels a year is required for repairs, which is not counted as the usual gift for the husband during the holidays.

Mother Su was stunned when she heard the words, but seeing her husband's body stiffen, she knew that Tang Yuan's guess was right.

She suppressed her anger, sat down beside Su's father, and looked at Su's father: "If you are really worried about this, you can put your heart down."

"Nuo Ge'er and I have saved some money these days, Shu Xiu is enough."

Su Nuo also echoed: "Yes, Dad, just go and try."

Su's father looked at Su's mother and Su Nuo, and sighed: "Shu Xiu can afford it, but after paying for Shu Xiu, our family will have no savings at all. If I don't win this time, when the time comes What should I do?"

Father Su didn't say anything, and it was also what he was most worried about, which was Su Nuo's dowry.

If all the money is used to pay for Xiu, it's okay if he is in the middle of the next year, but if he doesn't win, I'm afraid he won't be able to afford a slightly generous dowry by then.

Su's mother stopped talking, and Su's father patted her hand.

Tang Yuan thought about it for a few turns before he figured it out. He stepped forward to Su's father and Su's mother and said, "If uncle and aunt are worried, how about I lend you this bundle of repairs?"

Father Su exclaimed, "No!"

"Why not? Do you still want to be polite to me?" Tang Yuan cupped his hands towards Su's father, "This money is not given to you for free, it was lent to you, and you will pay it back later."

Su Nuo pursed his lips, wanting to say something to Tang Yuan, but Tang Yuan shook his head lightly, Su Nuo swallowed the words again, only moved a few steps towards Tang Yuan, and gently hooked his fingers.

Mother Su hesitated for a while, and finally gritted her teeth and agreed. She said to Tang Yuan in embarrassment and gratitude: "Good boy, thank you very much."

Several people talked about it, and finally convinced Su's father.

After Su's father agreed, he studied harder than before, and the lights at night were turned off an hour later than usual.

Su Nuo was persuaded here, and Tang Yuan took Su Nuo to look at the house there.

Young Master Zhao gave the news very quickly this time, and it is said that it is also thanks to Mrs. Zhao.

The older Mrs. Zhao is, the more picky she is about food. Thanks to the three dishes given by Tang Yuan, Mrs. Zhao rarely had a comfortable meal. When she heard that Tang Yuan was going to buy a house, she asked her best friend. One of the news that came was the house of a friend of Mrs. Zhao's boudoir.

Young master Zhao took Tang Yuan and Su Nuo to look at the house, the first place was a two-entry house, the location was neither bad nor bad, but the house was old, if you want to live in it, you need to do a major repair, the seller asked for 120 taels.

The second house is also a two-entry house, the location is acceptable, but the house next door used to be a criminal official's house, and now no one lives there. .

And the third place is the house of Mrs. Zhao's friend in her boudoir. The location is better than the second place, but although it is also a second-entry house, the place is not as big as the first two places, and the asking price is 150 taels.

Young Master Zhao: "How is it? I've shown you all three places. Have you taken your fancy?"

Tang Yuan thought for a long time, whispered to Su Nuo for a while, and then said: "I want the third house."

The third house looks like it is probably new. The flowers and plants inside are well taken care of. It seems that someone often takes care of it. The location is also good and it is not far from the shop. Although the place is smaller than the other two places, it is only in comparison. As far as he is concerned, even if he and Nuo Ge'er have two children in the future, together with Su's father and Su's mother, they will all be able to live there.

"Hahahaha, your vision is really good, and I think this is good too!" Young Master Zhao patted Tang Yuan on the shoulder, "This is the house that my wife's friend used to give her as a wedding gift, and everything inside is good, my wife That friend said, if you are a straightforward person, the contents inside will be sent along with the house!"

Tang Yuan and Su Nuo's eyes lit up, and they immediately said: "Then make a decision!"

Although 150 taels is more expensive, but with the furniture inside, it is very cost-effective!
