On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

"Yes, grandma, second aunt and my mother will be the chefs of the restaurant from now on." Xiao Xiao also took the opportunity to talk about wages and benefits: "From now on, don't have a fire at home, just eat in the restaurant."

"We still don't know how much the restaurant can earn. I'll give you two taels of silver for a month."

"If business is good, I will give you red envelopes at the end of the year."

Wu's eyes lit up with excitement: "Two taels of silver? Really?"

Mrs. Xiao also took a breath. This was related to the thickness of her coffin. How could she not care?

She was embarrassed to ask. Now the granddaughters provide food and accommodation, as well as monthly payments. She seemed a little embarrassed.

But who doesn’t love silver?

Especially at their age, they have no money in their pockets and feel panicky.

Xiao Xiao smiled: "Of course it is true, this is also what the eldest sister and the second sister meant."

Anyway, she can't stay in the shop all the time, so let her grandmother and second aunt work in the kitchen, my mother collects the cash, and the three sisters take turns helping.

As for making pancakes, my grandfather, the Lin sisters, my eldest brother and their three sisters can also help, so they are busy for the time being.

When my father and second uncle come back, they are also two working-age men, and the family will be much more relaxed.

Xiao Xiu also responded with a smile: "Yes, we are a family."

Wu giggled: "Hey, don't let the rich water flow to outsiders!"

I didn’t forget to ask Xiao Lian: “Second girl, are you right?”

Xiao Lian just wanted to scold you: I'm so mean to you!

Xiao Lian was so distressed that she almost bled. She only regretted that she was confused at that time and only then agreed to her sister's words.

But now that the eldest sister and the younger sister have compromised, what else can she do?

She could only squeeze out one word: "Yes!"

Xiao Sanlang, who was cleaning the table on tiptoe, waited and waited, but before they could talk about him, he couldn't help but speak: "I can also work, help serve food, wash dishes, sweep the floor and wipe the table. I How much moon silver is there?”

"I have to find you a private school with a better reputation." Seeing his aggrieved look, Xiao Xiao smiled and coaxed him: "As long as you study hard, my sister will give you pocket money, and she will take you when the school has holidays during the holidays. Go out and play.”

Both the Wu family and the Xiao family agreed with Xiao Xiao's words: "You must study hard."

Mrs. Liu cleaned the back counter, looked at the red paper on the wall and asked, "Do you still want to keep these price lists?"

The dishes written on the red paper are all home-cooked dishes. Braised pork and braised fish are considered big dishes.

"Tear them all up." Xiao Xiao had already thought about it: "We will just sell a few Yuzhang specialties."

When it comes to delicious food, Wu is very quick: "Steamed pork with rice flour, fish with distiller's grains, and fried pork with chili."

What she reported was what she liked to eat.

She was very happy when she thought about opening a restaurant and no longer having to worry about running out of meat.

Mrs. Xiao is not far behind: "Three cups of chicken, clay pot simmering soup, and smoked meat."

Liu added: "Fried noodles are also good."

After saying that, he became worried again: “But maybe we don’t have the coarse flour for sale here?”

Mrs. Xiao also reacted: "Yes, there are all cured meats here, and there is no smoked meat."

Xiao Xiao added: "Let's sell some braised meat, shall we? The pig's head braised by my grandmother is a good dish to go with wine, and it's cheaper than meat."

"I've seen this street too, and there are only two that sell cooked food. We sell pig head meat, so the business shouldn't be bad."

The most important thing is the overbearing aroma of braised food, which will definitely attract many people. Madam Xiao agreed: "That's okay, pig trotters and pig tails can also be braised, and they all taste good."

Xiao Xiao thought to herself: What would be more delicious would be braised large intestine.

Unfortunately, it was too troublesome to clean, so I had to wait until later.

Xiao Dalang came back happily and wanted to tell his family the good news that his second brother was accepted by the academy, but he heard another good news that his family had bought a small restaurant.

After he was happy, he scratched his head again: "The second brother will stay in the academy. I will come back to cover him with clothes and send five or two bunches of repairs to the academy."

"There are two days off in half a month, so you can go home."

Wu took a breath: "Why is it so expensive? In the past, you two brothers only had four taels of silver? Don't they think of us as fat sheep?"

Xiao Dalang quickly explained: "Mom, five taels of silver includes two sets of clothes, as well as a pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

Wu was still not happy: "Isn't this an opportunity to make money? It's not like we have no clothes."

Old Man Xiao took a deep breath: "We still have two taels of silver."

Then he glanced at Mrs. Xiao next to him: "Go and take it out to the second son's house."

Mrs. Liu also spoke: "Then I will also pay a tael of silver."

Xiao Xiao also understood that now that someone in the family is studying, it is a big deal for the family, and they really have to help each other, otherwise they may not be able to get this bunch of cultivation.

Of course, if Erlang really becomes successful in the future, they will also benefit from it.

The rewards are high, but there are also high risks. If he becomes a corrupt official in the future, three generations may be affected.

Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, father and mother, thank you sister-in-law. I really don't have much money now."

"When Erlang becomes successful in the future, I will definitely be filial to you."

The shop was a small restaurant before. They cleaned it and set off a few firecrackers near noon the next day, which was considered open for business.

People nowadays have too little entertainment, so they are very curious. When they heard the sound of firecrackers, a few middle-aged men passing by walked in: "Hey, Lao He's shop has changed people so quickly?"

"Yes, sir, please come in." Xiao Dalang first delivered fresh dishes to his own restaurant early in the morning, then delivered dishes to other restaurants, and then hurriedly came to the store to greet the guests: "We are from Yuzhang. People, the steamed pork is fat but not greasy, the pork head meat is fragrant, and it goes well with both wine and rice. You are the first distinguished guest to come in, and you will get a free portion of salted peanuts and sweet and sour pork loin."

They were moved after hearing this, and after looking at the price posted on the wall, they ordered a portion of steamed pork with vermicelli. With the two included dishes, it was a good deal for two people.

Guests came in one after another from outside. Xiao Dalang, Sanlang and Xiao Xiao, who were wearing shorts, were busy greeting the guests, announcing and serving dishes, and they were busy.

Ms. Liu was behind the counter collecting money and changing the money.

Old Man Xiao was lighting three pots in the small kitchen at the back, while Madam Xiao and Mrs. Wu used all their skills to cook.

They also understand that if they want to retain customers, the taste cannot be bad.

Xiao Xiu, Xiao Lian, and the Lin sisters helped wash and chop vegetables.

The small restaurant is busy at noon.

By the end of noon and the beginning of the afternoon, there were no more customers in the shop, and the family finally had lunch.

Xiao Lian was only thinking about the profit, and absentmindedly picked up the rice: "Mom, how much money did you receive?"

"It's definitely not a small difference." Mrs. Wu smiled from ear to ear: "Have you sold most of the pig's head and two pig's trotters?"

After saying that, he felt heartbroken again: "What a pity, that pot of sweet and sour pork tenderloin that was given away for free, is it all meat? If I sell it, how can I get an extra penny?"
