Teach my brother-in-law

Chapter 22.Ho Kee

When more and more civilian husbands have been recruited, the construction of the guard has already begun.

The tea shop jointly owned by Baihe and Lu'er is about to open.

Iron pots and copper pots are simmering on two or three small stoves, steaming hotly. Charcoal is burned in the small stoves. The boiling water from these pots is used to make good tea, and it is also provided to rich people. for drink.

There are also two large teapots in the kitchen, and this water is used to make a large bowl of tea.

It’s not meant to be divided into grades, but there are only a few small stoves and small pots, and the cost is relatively high, which is suitable for on-site brewing.A large teapot can produce several large teapots at a time, and the cost is low, relatively speaking, the cost is also low.

Regarding the charges, Baihe and Lu'er discussed for a long time. In the end, there was no charge for the big teapot, and it was free to drink and there was no charge for refilling the water.Originally, Lu'er said that it was still the same as before, a pot of tea cost a penny, so although she didn't make much money, she could keep it from losing money, but she was successfully persuaded by Bai He to take it for free.

In addition to tea, the shop also provides warm steamed buns. There are thick noodles for a penny and thin noodles for a penny each; A bowl of wax gourd and bone stick soup costs a penny; even better ones, such as braised chicken feet, five pennies a piece, three in a plate; local sorghum wine is two pennies a dime, and knives brought from Fucheng are five pennies A dime, those canned and bottled are counted separately.

The old lady left by the previous owner was surnamed Wang, and Bai He and the others called her Wang Ma. This Wang Ma seemed inconspicuous, but she made steamed buns and steamed buns very well, and the unique skill of ramen was only in the temporary shop. Does not sell ramen.

Wang Ma works diligently, with quick hands and feet. The steamed buns she makes are soft and delicate, and the steamed buns are fragrant and sweet.I have done it a few times before the official opening, and Bai He and Lu'er have tasted it, and based on this Bai He, she promised that her wages will increase a lot, from the original one renminbi to one and a half renminbi.One day before the opening, Wang Ma brought her daughter Hua'er over to help with the work, Bai He saw that Hua'er was also a hardworking person, so she left her to help Wang Ma, with a monthly fee of [-] Wen.In this way, the two mothers and daughters can get more than two taels of silver a month, and three taels of silver a year. In addition to eating in the shop during the day, the family expenses are much less, and they can be regarded as a family on the road to a well-off life. .

It's just that the head of Wang Ma's family passed away the year before last, leaving only Hua'er to depend on each other.This Hua'er is a sensible person. Apart from helping Wang Ma with chores in the kitchen, she is also busy tidying up inside and out. Although she is younger, only 12 years old, her agility is enough to annoy her. He likes it.

The day before the opening, Lin Zicai invited Li Zheng, the teacher from the school in the town, and several classmates and friends who walked around with Lin Zicai, and also went to the town to talk to his second uncle about the matter, as for whether to come or not, it was up to him .In fact, it is not necessary to make such a big move to open a small shop, but Lin Zi insisted on doing so, and this is more or less trying to earn some face for the Lin family through this matter.

If the head of the family wants to do this, let him do it. Anyway, everything will go according to plan tomorrow.

In the evening, Bai He went to Aunt Wang's house and asked Lu'er if the matter was all right.

Lu'er said everything was fine.

When I got home, I took out the cut red paper, called Lin Zicai over, and wrote one by one according to what Bai He said, and finally Lin Ziqian joined in. The handwriting is very beautiful, which is incomparable to Baihe.

Also cut out a two-inch square note, this is the free roll, Lin Zi wrote words such as free items, time limit, etc. on it, and stamped a seal, this seal belongs to Lin Zi, hidden like a treasure Then, being found by Bai He, this could be regarded as a counterfeit sign.

Lin Zi didn't understand Bai He's methods, but out of the idea of ​​supporting him, he followed what he wrote. He was busy until the early hours of the morning and slept for more than an hour.Yinshi was woken up by Bai He, and after washing up, the whole family was taken to the shop by Bai He.

In the shop, Wang Ma and Hua'er had already started a fire and were busy making buns and steamed buns.Lin Zizhong was busy with the final cleaning. This kid hadn't seen him for a few days, and he was already doing things in order.

After Lu'er came over, Bai He started to arrange work. Lin Ziqian, fourth child, and fifth child took the red paper written last night to the town and posted it at the intersection. Paste trot all the way to go.Lin Zizhong continued to bury his head in his work, Bai He felt a little sorry for this little uncle, but now he is the only one among the brothers who can help.

Lin Zicai was in charge of receiving the people waiting in Lizheng, and now he was sitting outside with a pot of tea, and the morning breeze was blowing very comfortably.

Lu'er helps Wang Ma in the kitchen, and Hua'er does what she can.

Mo'er followed Bai He, jumping here and there.

After the steamed buns and steamed buns are completely steamed, several steaming drawers are pulled out and placed at the door. A stove is burned underneath, and a pot is placed on the stove, with hot water burning inside. The steaming drawers are placed on top, and all the other small stoves Both the kettle above and the large kettle in the stove were boiling hot water.

As soon as the sky was bright, I brewed several large pots of tea with red dates, wolfberry, etc. in it. This is free to drink, and there are several small teapots and a large stack of bowls next to it.

He took out the firecrackers again, and wiped all the tables and chairs again, so he was relieved.

When it was almost Mao, Lizheng and others rushed over. At this time, the shop was full of people. This was also caused by the red paper that Lin Ziqian and others had posted before, which read "New shop opened, free tea, free delivery One steamed bun”, although some people don’t care about this steamed bun, but they can’t stop people from thinking that if everyone else is gone, if you don’t go here, you can’t get it cheaply; in addition, some people are poor and have free tea and steamed buns. If you don’t go, you are an idiot Egg.

As a result, the advertising effect that Bai He wanted was basically achieved, the shop was surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside, and someone spread the word to ten, ten to hundreds, and the street was full of people.

Guessing that the steamed buns were not enough, Bai He called Hua'er over again, and asked her to discuss with Wang Ma to make more, so that if she is tired today, she will be rewarded.Hua'er asked how much to make, and Bai He replied that three hundred more would be enough.

When the time came, Lin Zicai invited Li Zheng, Mr. Xuetang and others stood in front of the gate, first Lin Zi said a few words of thanks and care, and then Li Zheng also said a few words.In the end, Mr. Xuetang gave a speech. He is very knowledgeable. He talked for half an hour from the talk about food for the people to the last wish for a prosperous business. Just at the auspicious time, he wrote "Dutch" on the cover he had prepared a long time ago. Remember" two words, and put a payment next to it.

"He Ji" is the name of the store. Yesterday, Bai He and Lu'er discussed the name of the store, and finally decided to use the word "He Ji", which does not mean that the products sold are because of the future "He Ji" "It doesn't have to be just tea.

After the husband arrived, Lin Caizi also told him the name.Mr.'s handwriting is very beautiful, simple and generous, written with spirit, and elegant.

At the same time, the firecrackers rang, and the gongs and lions team invited by Lu'er also performed, and the street became lively like a market.After performing on the street for a while, he went to several nearby villages as Lu'er said. Undoubtedly, Bai He advertised on the lion dance team again.

Li Zheng was invited, and the teacher, Lin Ziqian and several classmates entered the only private seat, and took out a set of unused tea sets. The copper pot on the small stove beside the table was sizzling, and the water was boiling. Take the tea leaves, wash the cups, wash the cups with the first tea, and then pour the water into the cups.

The tea leaves are good, the color of the brewed tea soup is bright and full of fragrance, Lizheng and others can't wait for a long time, the gentleman is more dignified, but he is also confused by Lin Zicai's tea making process.He liked the tea set and tea making method introduced by "He Ji" very much, and asked if he could learn this method, and then entrusted Lin Zicai to buy such a tea set.

Lin Zicai promised one by one, and the husband was happy, and the private room was full of smiles.

The situation outside is even hotter. Some people still don’t quite believe that there will be free tea and free steamed buns. Later, some people come in and sit down, thinking that it will not be free and will not cost a few dollars. In the end, drinking tea and eating steamed buns is really a penny. don't want.In this way, there will be more people, coming and going, and someone will fill up a vacant seat immediately.

Rich people like to join in the fun and come in to sit, but they want to distinguish themselves from other people, so they order some snacks, and after spending a few pennies, they suddenly feel that their status is different. I'm sorry to eat and drink for nothing, and I also spent some money to buy some food.

When it was almost noon, there was still a large group of people who did not disperse, but the steamed buns in the kitchen could not be made so quickly. The free coupons designed last night came in handy. One per person, but the time was marked on the coupons , come in batches, so that you can avoid a bunch of people surrounding the shop when you get it.

Not long after Lizheng and his husband left, the lion dance team came back, ate some steamed buns, drank tea and took a rest in the shop.
