Chapter 245 Trial Operation
Xie Shuangbai was very busy, not only with the renovation of the kindergarten, but also with Mu Ning's shop.
The time has finally come, the 23rd of this month, an auspicious day.
It is auspicious for marriage and opening business.
Today is the 21st day of the lunar calendar, and the shop will open in two days. Mu Ning is busy with the trial operation in the shop.
Although their shop has not officially opened yet, many residents and merchants in the surrounding area already know that a delicious food shop has opened here.
Ask them why they know this shop is delicious.
It's not hard to guess from the aroma of meat wafting in every day.
Jiang Feng and Yu Di have been looking for work these past two days. Only after he lost his status as a young marquis did he realize how difficult it was to find a job.
Small shops don’t hire people, and big shops don’t dare to hire people unless they are introduced by acquaintances.
Those who dare to use them are either black merchants or mean-spirited shop owners.
After he and Yudi were enslaved by the mean shopkeeper for two days.
He really didn't want to be bullied anymore, so he forced the store owner to pay him today.
He looked at the 10 cents in his hand and felt very disappointed.
I worked so hard and only earned 10 cents. When I get rich, I will definitely overthrow this shady shop!
Yudi looked at Jiang Feng in a daze, and he couldn't help sniffing.
The rich aroma of meat in the air made him swallow his saliva.
"Master, I see quite a few people gathered around this shop. Shall we go take a look?"
Jiang Feng's stomach growled, and he smelled the aroma of meat, and said, "Let's go and eat noodles. At worst, the jade pendant will crush me. I won't be angry with you anymore!"
Yudi also fainted from hunger, nodded and followed him, deciding to eat first and then decide whether to use the jade pendant to suppress it.
"Master, it smells so good!"
"Yes, I drool every day because of this fragrance." said a man.
Yudi asked, "Brother, what does he sell?"
The big man said with a smug look on his face, "You've asked the right person. I've been checking for two days and he sells beef noodles and mutton soup."
Yudi was puzzled: "Beef noodles! Isn't it forbidden to kill cattle in our Great Yin Dynasty?"
"They certainly wouldn't dare to kill cattle, but there are still many dead cattle. Besides, we are not far from the barbarians."
Raindrop: "You mean they trade with the barbarians?"
"Little brother, you look like you're from the outer city. The border has been under construction lately. Doesn't this mean they're opening up to trade?"
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Brother, you know it clearly."
"Hey! A relative at home who was building a road at the border told me secretly," he looked at Jiang Feng nervously and said, "You can't tell anyone else!"
Jiang Feng was speechless. "Brother, you just blabbed this to two strangers. I guess the whole Fencheng would know about it before King Liang issues a notice."
The big man saw that it was almost time so he stopped chatting with them and waited happily to buy noodles.
Jiang Feng’s order arrived soon, but only the soup base was left.
"This customer is sold out today. Our store will open the day after tomorrow. Please come back then."
Jiang Feng didn't leave, looking at the soup base in the pot: "Isn't this still available? I've been waiting in line for a long time, please sell it to me!"
The shopkeeper said this during the waiter training.
The leftover soup residue cannot be sold to customers and will be taken away by beggars at night.
He was in a dilemma when the shopkeeper saw the commotion and asked, "What's going on?"
Waiter: "Boss, we're out of soup. We only have the soup base left."
Shopkeeper Li said politely, "Sir, the soup base doesn't taste good. Please come back the next day!"
Jiang Feng: "Boss, I don't mind. Look, my brother and I have been standing in the cold wind for so long, he is so hungry that he can't even stand."
After saying that, he looked at Yudi, who understood what he meant and immediately pretended to faint.
Shopkeeper Li saw that although the man in front of him was dressed casually, he looked like a rich young man and guessed that he had been in trouble.
He said, "Since this is the case, we are also doing a trial run, so I will give you the soup base for free."
Shopkeeper Li thought that since it was just a beggar's gift, and these two people didn't mind, he might as well give it to them.
Jiang Feng was happy.
The shopkeeper gave the order, and the waiter naturally did as he was told.
A large bowl filled with broth.
Jiang Feng saw a man selling pancakes nearby and bought two pancakes for 4 cents.
The waiter taught them how to eat.
First break the steamed bun into small pieces and then put it into the mutton soup.
After taking a bite, Jiang Feng felt like he was alive.
Jiang Feng used the remaining 6 coins to buy 3 pancakes.
He and Yudi shared the whole bowl of mutton soup.
The two of them didn't say a word during the process.
The raindrops are so fragrant that I want to lick my lips. The sheep in the north are surprisingly not smelly.
Yudi: "Master, this mutton soup is so delicious, it's completely different from what we eat in the capital!"
Jiang Feng recalled the mutton soup he had just had: "The barbarian grasslands are rich, and the sheep are naturally fat."
Yudi looked at the waiter enviously and said, "If only we could work here, we'd definitely have good food!"
Jiang Feng also thought it was feasible. The store was doing so well that it must need more people. It looked like the owner was not a black-hearted person. It would be great if I could work as a waiter here!
Yudi didn't expect Jiang Feng to actually ask.
Shopkeeper Li looked at Jiang Feng in front of him and declined with a smile:
"Sir, please don't make fun of me. You don't look like a waiter at all. I advise you to go home!"
Jiang Feng was speechless. Why did these shopkeepers say the same thing?
He was really worried when he thought that the two of them would have no place to sleep at night.
It turns out that survival is so difficult for the lower-class people!
Rong Chi has been a little depressed since he knew that Xie Shuangbai wanted him to go to school.
"Chi'er, why do you look so listless?"
Rong Chi frowned, ran to Xie Shuangbai and asked pitifully, "Little Daddy, can I not go to school?"
Xie Shuangbai shook his head.
Rong Chi burst into tears instantly.
Xie Shuangbai was amazed at how quickly he changed his expression.
"Why are you crying like a tearful person?"
"Little Daddy, I don't want Master Zhang. I don't want Master Zhang!"
Rong Chi cried heartbrokenly, as if the sky had fallen.
Xie Shuangbai hugged him and coaxed him: "If you don't want Master Zhang, would you like to go to school? Little Daddy will find many other children for you to go with."
Rong Chi's eyes widened when he heard this.
"Really?"
Xie Shuangbai wiped his tears: "Do you still remember brother Manman and sister Tiantian?"
"Remember, they also have to study with me?"
"Chi'er doesn't like it?"
Rong Chi leaned in his arms, "You don't like your sister. Your sister wants to steal my little daddy!"
Xie Shuangbai smiled and pinched his little face: "How could my little daddy be snatched away? As a brother, you should be magnanimous and protect your sister!"
Rong Chi stretched out his hand: "Then little daddy promised Chi'er that when sister Chi comes, she won't be snatched away, and he has to make a pinky promise with me."
Xie Shuangbai held up his pinky finger: "Pin it down and we'll stay the same for a hundred years."
The warm thumb pressed on Rongchi's small thumb.
Rong Chi breathed a sigh of relief as if he had completed the contract.
Xie Shuangbai has already sent the letter. I don’t know if Uncle Wang and the others will come after receiving it.
He also reserved a spot for Zhao Ge's son Zhao Houcai.
The letter has also been sent to Brother Zhao.
The letter was sent to General Jiang who was stationed in Xiaoshi Village.
"Sir, there is a letter for you, sent from the palace."
