The splendid countryside of the princess

Chapter 25

Early in the morning, they borrowed the ox cart from the village chief's house, and the family staggered to the county seat. Aunt Lu and Aunt Li, who made tofu, stayed at home, and the third uncle who took care of the house on the foundation.The county town was too far away, and the ox cart was too slow. Tang Dai, who was shaking like crazy, made up her mind to buy a donkey cart to go back after the tofu shop opened today.

The uncle in the tofu workshop has already taken Tang Fatty and his wife to clean up, and the pots and pans needed for making tofu are also ready.The decoration in the small store is simple, but it looks neat and generous.

Tofu, the bean sprouts shelf is placed against the wall, with white and tender tofu, golden dried tofu, and emerald green bean sprouts, which are really beautiful.

A long low table and a row of small lockable drawers were placed near the store door.You can also buy tofu on the table, and the small drawer can hold silver and ledgers.

Tang Dai has already taught my aunt the simple way of keeping accounts. In modern accounting, it is only a running account, not complicated double-entry bookkeeping. My aunt, who already knows a few words, can learn it after a few days of learning. up.

The reputation of Tofu Bean Sprouts has already spread, so Tang Dai is not planning to hold a grand event.I bought some colorful flowers and ribbons and pulled them up in the store. I also bought a pair of red lanterns with Double Happiness on them and hung them on both sides of the store door. up.

The auspicious time is approaching, and there are already crowds of people in front of the store, all of them are old customers of the restaurant in the county seat. After receiving Tang Dai's notice, from today onwards, they don't have to go to Tangjia Village to pull tofu by themselves. They all come to the tofu shop. This is much more convenient!Suddenly there was a commotion in the crowd, and a luxurious carriage drove towards the tofu shop.

The carriage approached and stopped, only to hear the sound of breathing and whispering in the crowd, the faces of the little women and girls blushed with excitement, and some of them blushed with embarrassment.

Tang Dai is arranging for the opening of the store. The division of labor between everyone must be clear, who will settle the accounts, who will collect the money, who will move the tofu and so on.Why did you suddenly feel strange?Looking back to the outside of the store, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, and cursed evildoer!Looking at the look of the young daughter-in-law and the big girl outside the store, she couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth.

Ouyang Qing, who was dressed in red, lazily stretched out his hand to support the car door and stood up. His long white hands shone like white jade in the sunlight.On his cool and noble face, there was boundless grace, a pair of peach blossom eyes against the rouge mole, squinting his winking eyes like a thread to avoid the sunlight that shot at him, he raised his feet towards the tofu shop, the black jade pendant on his waist followed His steps moved lightly in the wind.

"Dai Dai, I'm here to preside over the opening today, how about helping you uncover the plaque?" Ouyang Qing, who was yelling at Tang Dai, suddenly changed his painting style and fell off the altar.No one invited, so I rushed to help a small tofu shop open and unveil the plaque?Everyone's gossiping eyes instantly shot at Tang Dai.

The person who can make Ouyang the shopkeeper of the No. [-] restaurant in the county drive the car and lift the curtain, and look at the aura all over his body, not something that people in the county can have. Everyone guesses that this young man is either rich or expensive!I heard that the owner of Changqing Restaurant has a mysterious identity, could it be this young man?I don't know what is the relationship between the little girl from the owner of this little tofu shop and this noble man?Everyone became curious about Tang Dai.People who bowed their heads and dared not speak loudly talked more vigorously.

Looking at Ouyang Qing, who looked at her expectantly, and at her own family, who looked at him with persuasive expressions, Tang Dai just nodded speechlessly.Well, I admit that this face of yours is more useful than this plaque. I guess it will be a sensation today.He hurriedly asked the shopkeeper Ouyang, who was carrying big bags and small bags, to come in after Ouyang Qing.

He introduced Ouyang Qing to his family, saying that he was the owner of Changqing Restaurant.Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li invited the two of them to sit and drink tea in a small reception room converted from a room in the back with some stiff hands and feet.After setting up snacks and refilling tea, I still can't react, this owner is too handsome!

"Dai Dai, this pile of things is a gift from me for your opening. This one is... from my cousin. I wish you a smooth opening and a prosperous business!" Ouyang Qing introduced the pile of things.

"Your cousin? We don't know each other, how could he send something?" Tang Dai was puzzled.

"Uh, it's my best friend, the one who has a very good relationship with him since he was a child. He travels abroad all the year round. He happened to be here during these times. I heard that my restaurant has received great help from you, and it's a cooperative relationship. Send him something to express his gratitude. And because I had something urgent to go back to the capital two days ago, I had to let me deliver it to you." Ouyang Qing explained.

"Then you have to thank your cousin on my behalf!" Tang Dai cleared her doubts. Seeing that the gifts were snacks and wine, which looked like ordinary congratulatory gifts, she didn't become suspicious, and asked Ouyang Qing to thank her instead.The corner of Ouyang Qing's mouth twitched as soon as he heard the words on behalf of her.

When the auspicious time came, the two of them left the reception room. Ouyang Qing glanced at the ladder under the plaque with disgust, and then at Tang Dai standing beside him. He stretched himself up, with black hair flying on his head, and lightly pulled the red silk cloth with his right hand, and the three characters "Tofu Fang" appeared in front of people's eyes.

Dressed in red, she was so gorgeous that everyone around her was stunned. After a while, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted "Okay!".

Thunderous applause, firecrackers blared, grand opening!After realizing it, Tang Dairen was already standing on the ground, she rolled her eyes at Ouyang Qing, and secretly cursed "Monster", she likes to show off, and she looks like a flirt!

Ouyang Qing looked at Tang Dai's expression, his face was overjoyed, and he touched his left hand, Dai Dai's body was still warm in his fingers!Looking at the people who rushed into the tofu shop, they bid farewell to Tang Dai, happily sang an unknown song, and returned to Changqing Restaurant.

Listening to the humming, the corners of Tang Dai's mouth twitched again!

The people who entered the store snatched up dried tofu and bean sprouts, fearing that they would not be able to buy them, so they all left with a full load.At noon, Tang Dai and the invited Tang Shouzi and his wife saw that there were only a few pieces of tofu and dried tofu that were accidentally broken, and everyone in the shop laughed. The bean sprouts were completely gone!
Tang Dai told her aunt to lock the door, and they all went to Changqing Restaurant, and invited everyone to dinner at noon.My aunt saw that everything was sold cleanly, and there was nothing to sell in the middle of the day, so she just came back to make tofu in the afternoon, and she didn't refuse.A group of people went to Changqing Restaurant for dinner, but Ouyang Qing didn't attend because he was afraid that Mrs. Li and the others would restrain them.

Tang Dai ordered more than a dozen dishes, among which were the signature dishes Dongpo Pork, Dongpo Knuckle, and the hot pot that was just released a few days ago.

Tang Feng and the Li family were sweating profusely after eating, and praised the delicious food, saying that the good-looking boss is really capable, but they didn't know that a capable person was sitting next to them!

After dinner, Mrs. Li drove Tang Hua in an ox cart, and Tang Jue went back to the village first.Tang Dai, Tang Feng stayed to buy a donkey cart.Mrs. Li was worried, and Tang Dai said she would let shopkeeper Ouyang follow her, so she left in peace.

Tang Dai asked Tang Feng to wait in the guest room downstairs, went to the study on the second floor, and asked Ouyang Qing about the hot pepper seeds. Ouyang Qing said that he had already arrived in the state, and he would arrive in Chang'an County in a few days.He also asked about the launch of the hot pot. Everything was just as Tang Dai expected, and it was very popular. More than half of the business in the county town went to Changqing Restaurant, which was very prosperous.

Seeing that nothing happened in the restaurant, Tang Dai greeted Ouyang Qing and took the shopkeeper Ouyang to buy a donkey cart.When we arrived at the livestock trading market, with the help of shopkeeper Ouyang to choose, he quickly took a fancy to a half-sized and strong donkey, and bought a wooden cart with a rainproof cover to cover it. It cost a total of 30 taels of silver .

After the donkey cart was bought, Tang Feng drove the donkey cart and took the shopkeeper Ouyang back to Changqing Restaurant, then turned around and went back to Tangjia Village!Sitting in the donkey cart, Tang Dai, who was thinking about spending the money rushing out, couldn't help sighing again, no matter what era it is, it is easy to spend money, but difficult to make money!
