Farmer's happy event

Chapter 61 Opening

On the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, the Lianzi family still went to their hometown to celebrate the festival.

The meat and vegetables for the Chinese New Year were almost exhausted. When he went to town on the [-]th day, Mrs. Yang asked Liu Jingren to buy two chickens, two fish, two pork dishes and some fresh vegetables.

Mrs. Yang took a piece of pork and a chicken to Mrs. Shen's house and had dinner there. Lianzi and Lizi each took a paper lantern and went to the street to play.

Yang steamed the lamp with sweet potato noodles, rolled cotton strips in the oil left over from Chinese New Year fried fish, and inserted them into the lamp.Liu Jingren made lanterns out of bamboo sticks and paper, put the lights in, and it became a unique lantern for the Lantern Festival.

Lizi couldn't wait to go out to play, and he took Lianzi and went out without taking a few bites of food.

After playing for a while, Lianzi remembered that he would go to the town to find Hu Yongcheng tomorrow, so he took Lizi, who was still reluctant to go home, and went back together.

Early the next morning, Lianzi and Liu Jingren drove the ox cart to the town.Lianzi deeply feels that her cows are now eating the food of cows and doing the work of horses.It seems that buying a horse is a must.

First went to shopkeeper Dong's restaurant, parked the ox cart in the backyard of his house, and then took a carriage with him to Jishang.

Every time Hu Yongcheng sets up his stall, he usually chooses the same place, which makes it easier for repeat customers to find.

Liu Jingren guided the coachman to the place where Hu Yongcheng used to sell vegetables, and sure enough he was still there, busy with work, complimenting a customer who came to buy vegetables.

"Uncle", Lianzi called out sweetly from afar.

Hu Yongcheng heard the shouts, looked up to see them, and greeted them with a smile.

"Why are you here again?" he asked.

Last time, Liu Jingren said that the family has been busy recently, so he didn't come to sell dim sum for now, why did he come again today?He didn't take a seat this time.

"We're not here to sell dim sum this time." Lianzi explained.

Hu Yongcheng smiled and said "Oh", "Come to the market."

"Not all of them." Lianzi said again.

Shopkeeper Dong also got off the carriage at this time, walked to Hu Yongcheng's booth, and reached out to pick up a small handful of green vegetables.

Really leeks.

What Lianzi said was true, he could indeed sell leeks in the winter.

"It's like this." Shopkeeper Dong stood up and said with a smile, "I have a restaurant that will open soon. I heard Miss Lianzi say that your food is very good, so come and have a look."

"Oh," Hu Yongcheng nodded when he heard the words, and said with a smile, "You can look around, there are still at home."

Since it was introduced by Lianzi, it must be for grocery shopping.The shopkeeper of the restaurant, you should buy a lot of them.

Shopkeeper Dong didn't talk about the purchase, but instead asked, "How many acres of vegetable land has your family planted?"

"It's only one and a half acres. My family has very little land, and I still have two acres left to grow crops." Hu Yongcheng said.

Shopkeeper Dong nodded and continued to ask, "What kind of vegetables did you grow?"

"There are all kinds of vegetables. In spring, there are water radishes and yellow sprouts. In summer, there are green onions, ginger, garlic, leeks, coriander, kidney beans, beans and eggplants. In autumn, there are winter melons. In winter, there are Chinese cabbage and radishes." He laughed. Although there are not many lands, the variety is still very rich.

Shopkeeper Dong was more concerned about the leeks. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he asked, "What about the leeks? In winter, there really shouldn't be leeks."

Hu Yongcheng grinned, revealing a row of teeth that were slightly yellowed by the dry smoke.

"These leeks are grown at home and cannot be eaten. It takes several days to cut them off." He said, pointing to a small bundle of leeks on the stand.

It doesn't matter if there is more or less, what matters is that he can grow it.If the quantity is small, you can sell it at a high price, as long as you have it.

Shopkeeper Dong thought for a while, and then said: "What I mean is that I want you to supply my restaurant for a long time. What do you think?"

Hu Yongcheng looked at shopkeeper Dong, then at Lianzi and Liu Jingren.

He heard it right, long-term supply, that is to say, he doesn't have to come out to set up a stall to sell vegetables in the future?
"That's right, Uncle, you don't need to go to the market to sell vegetables anymore, you can just deliver them to shopkeeper Dong's restaurant. It's not far away, it's near this market." Lianzi smiled at Hu Yongcheng and said.

After all, Hu Yongcheng is familiar with this business. After a moment of astonishment, he said to shopkeeper Dong: "Don't worry shopkeeper, I will definitely send you the freshest."

After finishing speaking, he asked again: "When do you want it?"

"Wait a few days, it will open on the 26th of this month, and you can just deliver it on the 24th." Shopkeeper Dong said.

"Oh, by the way," he asked again, "What kind of vegetables do you have over there now? Can you send some more leeks?"

Hu Yongcheng pointed to the vegetables on the shop and said, "That's it, radish, cabbage, spinach, shepherd's purse, and a little leek."

After he finished speaking, he thought for a while, and then said: "In another seven or eight days, the leeks can be harvested by seven or eight catties."

"Hey, okay." Shopkeeper Dong nodded and said, seven or eight catties is enough, not a lot.

Lianzi saw that the matter was almost finished, only the price remained.

Seeing that neither of them spoke, she said, "Then what is the price?"

"Oh, yes, yes." Shopkeeper Dong slapped his forehead, "Look at me, I just thought about the food, but I forgot the price." He said and looked at Hu Yongcheng, "Brother, tell me a price."

Hu Yongcheng looked at the vegetables on the ground and said, "Both cabbage and radish cost one cent per catty, spinach costs two cents, and leeks cost six cents."

He looked up at shopkeeper Dong again, "Since the shopkeeper wants it for a long time, let's get [-]% off everything."

If you buy in bulk, there must be a discount, and a [-]% discount is quite normal.So shopkeeper Dong nodded and smiled, "Okay, then you will get a [-]% discount on your retail price."

This time it's all right, and the problem of vegetables has been temporarily solved.It is not known how the restaurant will be after the opening. If it is good, then these suppliers will definitely look for again, even the waiters and chefs will have to be recruited again.

After the matter was negotiated, the two parties said the time and place of delivery again, and then they left separately.

Lianzi felt that Hu Yongcheng had some ideas in growing vegetables at the beginning, and if he cooperated with him, there might be unexpected gains.

Time passed quickly, and it was the 26th of the first month in a blink of an eye.

After leaving the market, a slightly crowded street appeared in front of us.On this street, there are many wine shops, and it is a lively and prosperous scene.

"Hey, look, what's over there?" A passer-by pointed to a colorful thing in front of the street and asked his companion beside him.

The companion took a look, but didn't recognize what it was.

An arched thing that looks like a bridge and is much higher than the bridge is wrapped with five-color colored paper and stands on the side of the road.The sun shone down, emitting a dazzling brilliance, which made people unable to bear to look away.

Look at the ground again, covered with red firecracker debris all over the ground.

"Which family is marrying a wife?" one of them wondered.

"I don't think so, how can there be such a thing as a daughter-in-law?" another followed.

What is this for?

"Let's go, let's take a look." The person who spoke first suggested.

"Okay, let's go in and have a look." Another echoed.

At the same time, on the other side of the street, a few young masters who were dressed in brocade clothes and held fans in the winter, met together.

"Hey, have you heard that a restaurant just opened today, which is very interesting." One of the young masters in a navy blue brocade robe said.

The other boy, who was wearing a sapphire blue cross-collar jacket, opened the fan in his hand with a snap, raised his chin and asked, "Have you been there?"

Just now the boy said with a smile: "No, I just heard that it is very interesting."

Suddenly, he knocked on the palm of his hand with the folding fan in his hand, and said to the questioning young master: "The door plaque of the restaurant was inscribed by your brother."

"Him? When will he inscribe on the door plaque?" The young man in the navy blue shirt showed a look of disdain on his face.

The young master who spoke first thought he didn't believe it, and emphasized again: "It's true, if you don't believe me, go and have a look, it's still hanging on the gate. Your brother's name, probably everyone in the entire Cangshan Town can recognize it now."

"What kind of restaurant is it?" said the third young master in a bright purple brocade robe.

The young master who conveyed the news first said: "I heard it's called 'Fujulai'. The name is so-so, but I heard it's really interesting."

"Oh, I heard about it again. What's the use of hearing about it?" The last young man in a bright red shirt tapped the first young man with the fan in his hand, "Let's go and have a look. Big deal, Grandpa." dinner."

Hehe, what I was waiting for was his words, this time I can go to have fun blatantly, and the few people hurriedly walked towards the Rainbow Gate not far away.

Lianzi sat next to the beauties on the second floor, watching the crowds coming and going in the hall below.

The private rooms on the second floor were all full, and every table below was also full of people, and there were still many people wandering outside the door, waiting to grab a seat.

Today's dishes are all provided for free, where is such a great thing.When firecrackers were set off at the door just now to celebrate the opening, shopkeeper Dong just mentioned this briefly, and didn't do too much publicity.

When the opening was announced, there were still waves of customers pouring in, and there was already no room to sit in the hall.And the invitations that shopkeeper Dong sent out in advance also received very good results.There are quite a few aristocrats, with a few close friends, come here for drinks and tea.

These people don't have much food to eat, but they order a lot of drinks.You must know that the most profitable restaurant is the wine.The profits from the drinks in these twelve private rooms alone can make up for more than half of the profits lost today because the dishes are not charged.

Moreover, the decoration design of these twelve private rooms firmly grasped their hearts. After returning home, they all told the people close to them about the uniqueness of this newly opened restaurant, and they only said that more people wanted to Come here to find out.

Although shopkeeper Dong greeted every guest with a smile, he was still worried.After all, the restaurant has been losing money for a long time, and it has spent a lot of money and effort to reopen this time. If it is smashed again, it will make people feel heartbroken.

Don't look at the crowds today, but once the dishes are no longer free, who knows if people will come?

Lianzi didn't worry as much as he did. Judging from today's situation, she knew that more than half of the success had been achieved.
