Peasant woman's day

Chapter 65

When Hongmian came, it was so mighty, two big red signboards were held up to celebrate the opening, and a signboard made of red silk was sent over amidst the sound of gongs, drums and suona.Hong Mian smiled and congratulated Fu Rong: "I said, why did you ask me to give this signboard? It takes more than half of the city. Didn't the people on both sides see it? Your ostentation is almost as good as the county magistrate's." Patrol the streets."

After thanking Gu Qingchen for coming over, he took the signboard and went to hang it himself.The sound of firecrackers around was even louder.Yuanyuan hid in Lin's embrace, tightly covering her ears with her small hands.Hong Mian squeezed to Fu Rong's side, and whispered in her ear, "Brother-in-law looks more like a shopkeeper now. Are you going to be the proprietress?"

Fu Rong smiled slightly: "I don't know when my sister will find a boss to take over the house?"

Hong Mian lowered her eyes, but did not answer.

Furong didn't have time to ask questions.After the signboard was hung, people rushed in.

This shop Furong made people change the layout a bit.There are two rows of supermarket-like shelves on both sides, and each jar is custom-made. There are flowers, birds, insects, fish, etc., all arranged in different shapes, making people look more like artworks than food. .The place in front of the counter was opened up by Furong as a place for children to play, with small wooden horses, toys, and two rows of benches beside it for people to sit on.

The counter was not empty either. Furong specially placed several plates made of bamboo, with pastries for tasting on them, and bamboo sticks next to them for people to try.

When people buy things, they always ask about the quality. If they want to try it, most of the sellers are unwilling, let alone pastries.With Furong's move, Lin couldn't sit still at first, and pulled Furong aside: "Girl, there are so many people, how much do you want to eat?"

"Mother, don't worry, today is the first day, so I let everyone taste it like this. I will take care of myself later." Fu Rong comforted with a smile.

Lin was still a little worried, seeing that the plate was empty, said: "Then what should these people do if they just eat and don't buy?"

Fu Rong patted Lin's hand: "That only proves that the food is not delicious enough. If you don't buy it at such a low price, then there is no way out."

Hong Mian tasted it, and directly said to Fu Rong proudly, "Give me two catties."

"Buy less. This stuff won't taste good after a long time." Fu Rong opened the big bamboo basket covered with cloth, cut off one side with a knife, and put it on the weighing pan covered with a layer of gauze.Gu Qingchen weighed it for her, and said with a smile: "One catty two taels, one catty of money."

Fu Rong hung up a display board that she had made in due course: "Buy one catty, get two taels free, first come, first served, while supplies last."

A few more people came up and saw several bamboo baskets behind Furong, and asked about the taste and price.Fu Rong introduced to them her new platter cake, which has different flavors and is arranged in the shape of a flower and placed in a bamboo dish.A plate was originally priced at ten yuan, but the first day was [-] percent off, which was calculated at eight yuan.People around have bought at least one dish to try it out.Furong made many silk flowers and gave one to every child who bought horseshoe cake.Seeing this, the other children asked their parents to ask for it.The plates prepared by Furong and the others were declared exhausted within half an hour.

How many people just bought some with the mentality of giving it a try before trying it, which is regarded as a compliment from the folks in the village.After tasting it, they found that it was really different from the pastries they usually eat.Hawthorn and milk flavors are the fastest-selling, especially for children.Originally, I had to buy more, but Fu Rong persuaded everyone and ensured that what everyone bought every day was fresh.It will be open until the morning of the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, and this discount has been maintained all the time.

Originally, the leftover horseshoe cake was promised to be eaten by Yuanyuan, but unexpectedly it was sold out not long after it opened.Naturally, there are other pastries in the Furong store, and some people didn't buy the horseshoe cake, so they bought something else to go back and try it.

Just when everyone was crowded in the shop, a carriage stopped at the corner of the small street outside the door.

The butler outside leaned forward and asked the people in the car: "Master, this is it. The shop is at the innermost."

"Did you see someone?" The person in the car coughed twice, as if he was injured.

The steward replied respectfully: "Go back to Eldest Young Master, I see, it is Miss Furong from our family before."

The curtain of the car shook several times, but in the end Young Master Fan still didn't lift the curtain, but there were quite a few coughing sounds from inside.After a while, Young Master Fan continued to ask: "Then, how is their business?"

The butler replied: "Back to the young master, the door of the store is full of people now, it seems that we can't stand anymore." After the butler finished speaking, he tentatively asked, "Master, do you want to clear the scene first?"

"No, go back." The people in the car waited for a while before ordering.

The butler agreed, and greeted the coachman to drive away, and he himself got into the carriage behind him.When the car started, the car curtain was lifted by a corner, and then it was lowered again.

No one knew about this, Furong was busy collecting money for things.Thanks to Lin's and the others' help, they were not in a hurry.The shop closed shortly after the opening time.Fu Rong looked at the copper plates and scattered silver in the money box, and couldn't close her face with a smile.Seeing her appearance, Gu Qingchen scraped her nose with his hand: "Little money fan." The two changed their clothes and came out, Gu Qingchen smiled and said: "Everyone is tired today, I booked a table in Zuixiangju Dish, everyone, give us a face, it's a good luck for us to open the door!"

Both Gu Sanbo and Guo Sanshu have left, but the rest of the family have not yet left.Boss Gu insisted on going back, but Sanqiang Gu stayed behind.Fu Rong laughed and said that the house has been packed, please just stay, there will be a place to live.Mrs. Lin planned to come and visit for two days. Old Guotou had already been taken to Uncle Guo's house to stay for two days. He was worried about Furong's business and insisted Mrs. Lin stay for two more days.Therefore, the entire box is full of seats.

There was only one child, Yuanyuan, occupying a seat at the banquet, and Lin would not do it if she wanted to hug him on her lap.This child, with more people, became more obedient, sitting there upright, like a little adult.

Gu Qingchen is not good at drinking at all, so he filled a whole glass today. He stood up and greeted everyone with a smile: "Although I say I'm a family without saying thank you, but I'm so happy today. I must respect everyone for this glass of wine. If it wasn't for everyone The business in the store will not be so good today. Here, I will do it first!" After speaking, Gu Qingchen raised his neck and drank it down.

Everyone applauded.Lin said with a smile: "I'm glad I'm happy. I'll open the door to do business tomorrow. Just enjoy yourself. You don't have to drink so much alcohol to hurt your health. There are so many dishes that you can't see in the countryside. Everyone eats vegetables and eats them." vegetable."

Even so, Gu Qingchen still respected them one by one.When respecting Boss Gu, Gu Qingchen only knew that he was so happy, his tongue was so straight that he couldn't speak a word.Boss Gu hurriedly patted him on the back, and said, "My brother, don't talk too much. After finishing this glass of wine, we won't drink any more. Let's eat vegetables."

Boss Gu was the last one. After Gu Qingchen finished listening to his words, his nose suddenly twitched, and he seemed to have woken up from the wine. He just said a few words: "It would be better if parents were here." After finishing speaking, he said that After drinking the wine, he sat down and took the soup served by Fu Rong, and never touched the wine again.Boss Gu felt sore because of Gu Qingchen's words, but he immediately put that emotion behind him on such a happy day.

While drinking, the door of the box opened, and the shopkeeper walked in. It was the person who had come home to buy chili sauce last time.Gu Qingchen went up to meet him, and the shopkeeper bowed to Gu Qingchen: "Brother Gu opened a big business today, and I can't go to support you personally, so please don't blame me, Brother Gu. This is what I added to the big guy, everyone. Eat and drink as you like!" Saying this, the shopkeeper turned to one side, and the waiter behind him brought up all the dishes.

Braised lion's head in braised sauce, chicken in lotus leaf, duck stuffed with wine, etc. are all good things.Fu Rong hurriedly got up and thanked her.The shopkeeper greeted everyone again, and then said to Gu Qingchen: "Brother Gu, can you take a step to talk."

Not long after, Gu Qingchen came back with a flushed face.Everyone didn't ask him, and neither did Fu Rong.Seeing Gu Qingchen's happy face, he couldn't help but tell himself if he didn't ask him.

There are many people and strength, and the vegetables are eaten clean.Everyone went back satisfied.After settling everyone down, Fu Rong watched Gu Qingchen count the money in the money box.After doing some calculations, I actually made a net profit of more than two taels of silver.Gu Qingchen hugged Furong and kissed her several times, then pretended to be mysterious and said: "Daughter-in-law, guess what the shopkeeper wants from me?"

"I can't guess. Could it be that I didn't pay for the meal today?" Fu Rong blinked her eyes deliberately and said mischievously.

Gu Qingchen hugged her in his arms, leaned close to her ear and kissed lightly and densely: "He wants to sell some of our pastries in his restaurant!"

Although Fu Rong had already guessed it, it was only at this moment that she suddenly realized the expression.She pushed him and said with a smile, "then you agreed?"

Gu Qingchen pretended to smile deeply, played with her hand, and said softly: "Your husband, I am not an idiot. We didn't have access to the chili sauce before, and that thing is not like the horseshoe cake we are making now. It can be tasted directly Yes, and because Sister Hongmian is in it, it is inevitable to cooperate with him. However, we have our own shop now, why should we rely on him and give him some money for free?"
