Chapter 55

Yan Xiaosi was worried that the firewood would not be sold. When the shopkeeper asked, she hurriedly replied: "It is for sale, shopkeeper. Do you want to buy firewood?"

A middle-aged woman came out of a small restaurant, stood next to the shopkeeper, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Master, our business here is not good, we can't make much firewood, besides, there are still some in the firewood room." .”

Hearing what the middle-aged woman said, Yan Xiaosi understood that they were probably dressed in tatters and all of them were yellow and thin. Most of the shopkeepers of this restaurant thought they were pitiful, and that's why they wanted their firewood. .

Sure enough, the shopkeeper replied to the middle-aged woman, "Winter will come soon, and when winter comes, the price of firewood will rise again. It is a good thing to prepare more now."

The middle-aged woman did not object.

The shopkeeper asked Mrs. Zhong kindly, "Sister, how do you sell these firewood?"

Yan Xiaosi could see that the shopkeeper had good intentions, and Zhong Shi could also see it.

"If the shopkeeper wants it, he can give you [-] Wen for the five bundles of firewood."

Mrs. Zhong is a person who knows how to repay her kindness, and she did not hesitate to give the shopkeeper ten cents less due to the kindness of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper immediately ordered the woman beside him to go to the counter to get forty Wen, and handed it to Mrs. Zhong.

When Zhong received the forty Wen, he was very happy.

There are many woodcutters who sell firewood, but there are only a few people who buy firewood. Firewood is not easy to sell. If you can sell it for [-] yuan, it is better than taking five bundles of firewood back to Shaoyao Village intact.

After the shopkeeper called two fellows to come out and unload the firewood, Zhong was about to say a few words of thanks to the shopkeeper, and drove the ox cart away. Before she could speak, she saw Yan Xiaosi jumped off ox cart.

"Little Four, what are you going to do?"

Yan Xiaosi walked in front of the shopkeeper, and when she heard Zhong yelling, she turned her head and glanced at Zhong, "Mother, don't be nervous, I just have a few words to say to the shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper looked at Yan Xiaosi carefully, and felt that although this boy was sallow and thin, and a little short in stature, he was quite aura.

"Brother, what do you want to say?"

Yan Xiaosi took a look into the restaurant, at this time, it should be just right for breakfast, but there is not a single customer in this restaurant.

"Boss, your business here is not good."

For a moment, the shopkeeper's face changed, and his brows frowned.

Yan Xiaosi continued to say: "The location of your restaurant is not very good. There is Xiangmanlou not far behind, and there is a big restaurant not far in front. Your small restaurant is sandwiched in the middle. It's no wonder that the business is good." .”

The shopkeeper looked at Yan Xiaosi with bright eyes, with obvious appreciation.

This kid actually saw the problem at a glance, amazing.

"Brother, since you have seen the problem, there is a solution."

Yan Xiaosi pursed his lips into a smile, put his hands behind his back, and said in an inscrutable manner, "Of course I have, for the sake of the shopkeeper's kindness and helping us, I will show you the shopkeeper a clear way."

At this moment, the shopkeeper had already ignored Yan Xiaosi's age, but listened to Yan Xiaosi's words seriously.

Yan Xiaosi's tone changed, and he suddenly asked the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, is there a pier here in Daxing Town?"

The Yunluo River runs through the territory of Dachu, and it happens to flow through Xize County. There is indeed a wharf in Daxing Town, Xize County, and it is a very large wharf. There are often many cargo ships and passenger ships on the wharf, so the people on the wharf in Daxing Town Traffic is great.

The shopkeeper didn't understand why Yan Xiaosi suddenly mentioned the nearby pier. What does this have to do with his small restaurant?
"Daxing Town does have a pier, brother, why are you asking this?"

Not only the shopkeeper was puzzled, but also Zhong's mother and daughter, as well as the proprietress.

Zhong said to Yan Xiaosi: "Xiao Si, if you have any ideas, just tell the shopkeeper directly."

Yan Xiaosi smiled at Mrs. Zhong and said, "Mother, don't worry, I'll tell the shopkeeper what I think."

"Boss, your restaurant mainly sells steamed meat and stir-fried vegetables?"

She smelled the aroma of steamed meat again, and then asked the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper replied: "My small restaurant is naturally not as good as a big restaurant like Xiangmanlou. The cook is my wife. My wife is best at steamed meat. Besides, she can also fry a few simple home-cooked dishes. , sell these on weekdays.”

Steamed meat and home-cooked side dishes are not available on the table, they are only suitable for filling the stomachs of hungry people, and there are many people on the nearby pier, porters, sailors, there are always there, the consumption of this small restaurant is not high, it is suitable for people on the pier those people.

Yan Xiaosi thought about it for a while, and made a suggestion to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, since there is no business in the restaurant, you might as well take the cooked rice and vegetables to the pier for sale, and a big bowl of white rice goes with the dishes that go with it. , a bowl sells for five cents, morning, noon, and night, go to the pier to sell it once, what do you think of my idea?"

The shopkeeper is in business, so his mind is naturally flexible. When Yan Xiaosi said this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately felt that the idea Yan Xiaosi gave him was a good one.

Although a bowl of food only sells for five cents, there are many people on the pier and small profits but quick turnover, it is better than him guarding a restaurant that is not at all popular.

"Good suggestion, thank you brother for your advice."

Zhong's mother and daughter were all surprised that Yan Xiaosi could come up with such a good solution, and solved the plight of this small restaurant in a few words.

After giving advice to the shopkeeper of the small restaurant, Mrs. Zhong and Yan Xiaosi were about to leave, and before Yan Xiaosi returned to the ox cart, the shopkeeper said, "Brother, please stay."

Yan Xiaosi turned his head to look at the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, is there anything else?"

"There is still a little thing, please wait a moment, brother."

The shopkeeper answered Yan Xiaosi, and urged his daughter-in-law: "Lady, isn't the meat in the steamer just cooked, go in and get some and bring it to my little brother."

"Oh, I'm going right now."

The proprietress came to her senses and entered the restaurant with a smile on her face.

Zhong Shi wanted to refuse at first, but seeing Yan Xiaosi standing there motionless, she didn't say anything.

The smell of steamed meat wafted over, and Yan Xiaosi couldn't move her footsteps. With her frail body, she had no resistance to eating, but she gave the shopkeeper an idea to mix up a meal of meat. If she doesn't give advice to the shopkeeper today, maybe she won't be able to see this small restaurant when she comes to Daxing Town after a while.

The proprietress came out quickly, holding a greased paper bag in her hand.

Yan Xiaosi glanced at it, the oiled paper was bulging, and there was still grease on the paper.

This lady boss is really generous.
