Antique food: The general dotes on his lucky wife

Not only were the villagers surprised, but the Chen family themselves were also surprised!

After the villagers left one after another and closed the door, other members of the Chen family quickly asked Chen Xi.

"Xiao Xi, are we going to open a hotpot restaurant?"

Chen Xi smiled and said: "I have this idea! General Lin and General Huo are distinguished people at first glance. They must have seen many good things, but they still praise our hot pot full of praise, which shows that our hot pot does have a good reputation." Where there are people, opening a store will definitely attract many customers!”

Hearing what she said, everyone couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"Yes, I have inquired in the past few days that Fumanlou's antique beef soup costs ten taels per table! I believe that whether it is our spicy hot pot or tomato hotpot, they will be more delicious than Fumanlou's antique soup. ! If we open a shop, even if we sell ten tables a day, it will be 100 taels of silver!"

"My dear, I can't even think about making 100 taels of silver a day!"

"What's unimaginable? Now our bun shop can earn two to thirty taels of silver a day. The hot pot made by Xiaoxi is so delicious, it must sell better than the buns!"

"Hey, now that you say it, I'm quite looking forward to it. So when are we going to open a hotpot restaurant?"

Chen Xi said: "Don't worry, if you want to open a hot pot restaurant, you have to find someone to customize the pot and table for hot pot. In addition, you also have to find a suitable store location, solve the supply problem of ingredients, etc. It is more complicated than selling steamed buns." It’s much more complicated! Originally I was worried about what to do, but now that the eldest and second brothers are back, I wonder if the eldest and second brothers are willing to put more effort into running a hot pot restaurant? "

The faces of the two families in the first and second bedrooms suddenly showed surprise!

"Xiao Xi, you want to make the hot pot restaurant

Let them run it? "

Chen Xi nodded: "That's my plan! My parents have to stay at home to collect ingredients, and I'm not suitable for public appearances. Xiao Qi is still young, so I plan to let him continue studying. And the eldest brother and the second brother must have been familiar with the hot pot bottom in the past few days. I am very familiar with cooking the ingredients. When I have time, I will teach my eldest brother and my second brother how to make fish balls, shrimp balls, fish tofu, and other side dishes. Wait until you are familiar with these. Now, let’s start preparing the hot pot restaurant!”

Chen You and Chen Zhuo looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes, and then they assured Chen Xi.

"Xiao Xi, do as you say. Whatever you ask us to do, we will do it!"

"Yes, yes, I listen to Xiao Xi and Big Brother!"

The bun shop now has enough manpower. In the past few days, both families have been thinking about where the two brothers will go after the hot pot base is finished.

If we stay at Baozi Shop, it will appear that the manpower is somewhat redundant. Do they, the old guys, want to rest?

Unexpectedly, they heard this huge good news now. It turned out that Xiao Xi had already made arrangements for them. Now the second bedroom of the first house felt completely at ease, and the smile on his face could not be reduced no matter what.

Chen Xi has observed the working methods of Chen You and Chen Zhuo in the past two days. Chen You is steady and meticulous, while Chen Zhuo is clever and adaptable. The relationship between the two is also very close, so it is perfect for them to run the hot pot restaurant!

Everyone was enthusiastically discussing the future operation of the hot pot restaurant when they suddenly heard Chen Xi say something again.

"Oh, by the way, the day after tomorrow is the Beginning of Winter. I have an idea. Let's serve meat buns in our bun shop!"

As soon as this sentence came out, it immediately resonated with everyone!

"Oh Xiao Xi

, you don’t know how many people have come to ask our family whether there are any other fillings besides leek and egg filling for steamed buns recently? We've always wanted to tell you, but you've been so busy lately and we haven't had the chance to speak! "

"Yes, yes, everyone is looking forward to the meat buns, and the mutton and pork stuffings are the most popular ones!"

Beef is also a more commonly eaten meat nowadays, but beef is still relatively rarer than mutton and pork. Although chicken, duck and goose are also people's daily meat dishes, they are not as popular as mutton and pork, so people mainly eat mutton and pork.

"Okay, this time we will serve a steamed bun stuffed with pork and cabbage first. When I buy something tomorrow, we can steam it at home to taste it. Everyone can give us your opinions and suggestions!"

"Hey, what's your opinion? Xiaoxi, can the buns you make still taste bad?"

"Oh, we can have new buns tomorrow!"

After the second room and the first room left, the Chen family sat together, and Chen Sanhe and Guo asked Chen Xi.

"Are you going to let Xiaoqi go to school again?" The couple heard their daughter say this just now, and they have been thinking about it ever since.

Chen Qi also looked at his sister and said sensibly: "Sister, I don't study, I want to stay at home and help!"

Chen Xi touched the little guy's head: "Xiao Qi, some time ago it was because there was really not enough manpower at home and it was not time for school, so I asked you to help take care of the business at home. But in fact, I had already planned to let you continue studying. , even if the eldest and second brothers don’t come back, I plan to let you continue studying.”

Chen Sanhe and Guo looked at each other, Chen Sanhe shook his head and said: "But Xiaoxi,

Xiao Qi was kicked back by his teacher because he had a fight with someone in school. How could he go to school? "

Chen Qi twisted his neck: "Who asked Wang Dexing to scold my sister? He should be beaten!"

Wang Dexing and Wang Deshui knew they were members of the same family as soon as they heard it.

Chen Xi knew what was going on without searching her memory. She smiled and said, "I have no intention of letting Xiao Qi continue to go to Wang's private school."

"Where can we go if we don't go to the Wang Family Private School? Several villages near us now only have one school, the Wang Family Private School!"

"Go to Qingshui Academy!"

"what?!"

Mrs. Guo stood up excitedly, "Xiao Xi, that's Qingshui Academy, how can our family get in?"

Chen Qi also grabbed his sister's arm excitedly: "Sister, do you want me to go to Qingshui Academy and study with Brother Xingyuan?"

Chen Xi looked at the excited Chen Qi and smiled.

She knew he would be willing!

In the memory of the original owner, Chen Qi's studies were very good. People in the village said that the first scholar in Shanghe Village in the future might be Chen Qi!

But because the original owner had sores on his face, the Wang family intended to break off the engagement. In the school, Wang Dexing of the Wang family laughed at Chen Xi in front of Chen Qi. Chen Qi got into a fight with Wang Deshui in anger and was driven back by the teachers in the school.

Chen Xi saw Chen Qi reading secretly several times, but he never mentioned it in front of others.

Chen Xi felt pity for the little guy's sensibleness, so he secretly decided to let him go to a better place to study!

In Qingshui County, the best one is naturally Qingshui Academy.

Chen Xi nodded to Chen Qi: "Yes, sister wants you to go to Qingshui Academy. Then you study hard and surpass Wang Deshui!"

Chen Qi's eyes were shining: "Yeah!"

There are two ways to enter Qingshui Academy. The first is to have

Scholarship and fame!

Chen Qicai was only ten years old, not even a boy. Naturally, he couldn't use this channel. He could only use another channel, which was "school donation".

In the current dynasty, even official positions could be bought and sold through gold and silver, commonly known as "donating an official position." Naturally, a small school admission quota could also be obtained through gold and silver!

Therefore, Qingshui Academy not only has some truly talented scholars, but also some children of wealthy officials and gentry, all of whom entered the academy through donations.

Guo Xingyuan, cousin of Chen Xi's uncle, entered Qingshui Academy through donations. The lowest qualification was 100 taels a year. He was not able to enjoy the board and lodging of the academy and was only qualified to attend classes.

But even so, it was not something that the Chen family could imagine in the past.

But now it's different!

I believe that when Chen Qi enrolls in school in November, no matter what happens, the Chen family will be able to save enough money to enroll Chen Qi!
