Chapter 86 Journey to the West

This place in the south of the Yangtze River lives near the water, and there are many river shrimp and crabs.

It is extremely delicious when cooked into dishes, and it can also be minced to make shrimp slippery and fish slippery.

In addition to traditional hot pot such as spicy tomato, fish head hot pot and fish hot pot are also good choices.

Ma Lan looked at the menu carefully and changed all the prices on it.

Stir-fried dishes are better, and the price of some hot pot skewers is three or four times higher than the original price.

She hesitated for a long time before opening her mouth: "I'm afraid it won't be sold."

Shen Congwen also felt that such a price was inappropriate, and he didn't directly say that he planned to settle the account to let Ma Lan understand.

Ma Lan was not in a hurry, and let him crackle and start his abacus.

After a while, Shen Congwen put down his calculations, raised his head and his eyes were full of disbelief: "It's less than five hundred coins."

Malan nodded. Except for meat, other things are not very expensive.

A catty of potatoes costs two cents, and the selling price has to take into account the manpower, material resources, time and money she put into it.

This price can be slightly earned on the basis of guaranteeing no loss.

As for the self-service hot pot, it costs 120 yuan per person, half for boys under the age of six, and unlimited eating.

If you don’t want to order a la carte, eating this buffet hot pot is also a good choice.

When the new store opened, in addition to regular food tasting activities every day, Malan also added vouchers and points business.

Anyone who has eaten her hot pot will receive a coupon, which is the amount of his consumption this time.

Replace it with one percent, which can be deducted from the dishes you order next time.

Seeing that everyone was confused, Ma Lan opened his mouth to explain, for example, if he spends [-] Wen this time, he will get [-] points.

When he comes next time, as long as he is willing, he can get the [-] points accumulated last time.

Points cannot be redeemed or cleared, and can be used permanently.

Shen Congwen's eyes were full of admiration and shock, he was surprised how could someone be so good at doing business.

It seems that every link has been calculated, and it has been concluded after a long time.

Can't help but ask: "What does Brother Ma's family do?"

"It's also for business."

Ma Lan chuckled, although she said she was a scholar, a farmer, a businessman, she didn't feel any shame.

The family did not steal or rob, and relied on their own ability to earn money for food.

She doesn't feel ashamed, and she's proud of it.

It was the first time for Fan Congwen to see a person's love and obsession with money.

Everyone loves money very much, and the richer people are, the more they pretend not to love money.

Brother Ma Lan is different, he loves money as well as money.

He suddenly felt that such a man would be able to accomplish a lot in the imperial examination if he didn't do business.

He thought so, and asked, "Brother Ma, why didn't you take the imperial examination?"

The status of merchants is lowly, and only by entering the imperial examination can they be honored.

Malan was also stunned.

That's right, why didn't she take the imperial examination, because she wasn't strong enough?

She thought about it because of the discrimination against girls in this world.

I would like women to wash and cook at home, but I don't believe that women can be good cooks.

I like women who are poetic and bookish, and I don't believe that women have the same abilities as men.

Thinking about it, Ma Lan suddenly began to miss the world where women could study and be officials.

Can't help grinning, just like the warm sun in winter: "I can't pass the imperial examination."

What she said was the truth, but Shen Congwen felt it was unpleasant.

It's a pity that he is a proud son of heaven and the future pillar of the country because of his family.

While speaking, Li Caixia had already brought paper, ink, brush, inkstone and brand.

The brand is not big, about the size of a palm, made of bamboo.

Ma Lan knew at a glance that she was going to start writing the menu again on this.

"It's also interesting to make these bamboo slices into letters and make menus."

Guests who come can see the menu when they open the letter, which is convenient for modification and reuse.

Li Caixia's eyes lit up, and she immediately went to the backyard with the letter in her arms.

She has always liked these and is willing to study them.

Seeing her happy, Ma Lan felt happy too.

With a group of people who really like this restaurant, why not grow the business.

Ma Lan looked at the busy people and joined them with a smile.

She was clumsy, and was pushed out by others in a short while.

"Sit in front of the table and read the storybook."

Shen Congwen stuffed a book into Malan's hand, and there were seven big characters written on the blue cover.

The Merry Widow, the Pretty Prince.

Ma Lan blushed slightly, isn't this her own book?

When I was not married, I always felt bored. I learned to read and write without showing off. I always felt sorry for my day-to-day study.

I wrote this storybook on a whim, and it sold a lot of money instead.

"Do people like reading storybooks very much now?"

"Everyone likes to read a good story."

Shen Congwen didn't lift his head, and the abacus in his hand was flipping.

The unit price in the store has changed, so he naturally has to calculate the cost again.

He has shares in this store, so he has to manage it well, maybe he can watch this to redeem his ancestral property.

nice story.

Malan frowned deeply. What story is more attractive than the four great classics.

Thinking of this, I sat at the table, picked up a pen and paper, and wrote the three characters of Journey to the West.

Pangu opened up the world, and there are four continents in the world, namely Xiniu Hezhou, Dongsheng Shenzhou, Nanzhan Buzhou, Beiju Luzhou...

She was engrossed in thinking and writing, and without knowing it, she wrote about the Monkey King in Water Curtain Cave.

She always likes to speak out the things written silently.

She speaks slowly and writes even slower.

At first, only Qin Da and Zi Yan sat beside and listened, but gradually Shen Congwen became more.

Then, everyone in the room stopped working and gathered around the table to listen to Ma Lan's writing and talking.

The story soon arrives at Wukong's apprenticeship to the Three Star Cave of the Oblique Moon, where he learned somersaulting clouds and 500 transformations in 72 years.

Everyone listened with gusto, but Qin Da suddenly noticed that it was getting dark outside.

She wanted to continue listening to the story, but was afraid of being punished if she went back, so she was hesitating. Ma Lan raised her head.

She wrote all afternoon, her hands were sore and her neck was sore. Just as she wanted to rest, she saw a few pairs of eyes staring at her.

In addition to admiration, there is more obsession and fanaticism in his eyes.

Ma Lan was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"Does your monkey story have a name?"

Shen Congwen's eyes were filled with amazement. It was the first time he had heard such a touching story after studying for more than ten years.

There are ups and downs and twists and turns are even more exciting.

He wanted to finish listening to the story, but Malan didn't want to write it.

she is tired...

Shen Congwen didn't think Ma Lan was tired, but thought from the bottom of his heart that Ma Lan couldn't continue writing.

Inspiration doesn't exist all the time, and it's normal if it doesn't go on.

He was just disappointed, and he didn't know when he could hear such a good story again.

Ma Lan didn't think about it at all, and piled up the papers: "Put it here first, and I'll continue writing tomorrow."

Since everyone likes storybooks, why can't she write them.

There were so many good stories in her era, and if they were written, they would definitely sell well.

She can earn a lot of money by laying out good information, and with enough money, she can open an academy.

A school where both men and women can study.
