He was betrayed at the beginning, from a cake seller to a wealthy person

Lu Sheng returned home with his twelve taels of silver and two pieces of good news. He was admitted as a child student and could go directly to the county school. The whole family was very happy.

But when it came to going to the county with the whole family, Mr. Lu and Mrs. Xu hesitated.

Lu Yan was shocked: "Mom and dad, what's going on with you? Don't you want to follow?"

Boss Lu and Mrs. Xu looked at each other. Mrs. Xu sighed: "I definitely want to go with you. My mother is very happy that our brother Sheng is so good. But this is home after all, so we can't just leave."

"Mom, Brother Sheng is just a child student now, and we are just moving from the village to the county. We haven't even moved out of Yaoshan County. When Brother Sheng becomes a Jinshi and goes to the capital to become an official, can we not follow him? Is he going?" Lu Yan was persuasive: "Besides, it's not like we don't want this home anymore. Home is still home. We'll still have to come back when Brother Sheng retires and returns to his hometown or we make enough money outside."

Mrs. Xu thought in her mind and said nothing more.

Boss Lu knocked on the table: "I am thinking about another thing. It will be time to harvest the wheat soon. Who will collect the grain when your mother and I leave? Who will pay the grain tax when the grain tax official comes?"

Lu Yan and Lu Sheng looked at each other. Lu Yan completely forgot about this incident, and then she remembered that this was indeed a problem.

Finally, the Lu family finally made a plan. Lu Sheng and Lu Yan first went to the county to find a house to live in. When it was time to open a shop, it was time to study. By the time the two of them had harvested the grain and paid the grain tax, it happened to be August. At that time, Lu Sheng had also finished the college examination, and no matter what the result was, he would definitely come back and tell them the result. If you win the prize, a banquet will be held in the village and the whole family will go away together. If you don't win, the whole family will go together.

Just as he was talking, Yinzi suddenly ran in, whining sadly. Yinzi has grown into a big dog, with black and shiny fur. He stands more than one meter tall and rubs Lu Sheng's legs like a baby, almost knocking Lu Sheng over.

Lu Yan felt a little guilty, oh my god, I forgot to discuss who the money went with.

"Take money with you when you leave." Boss Lu said, "You two and a half-year-old kids, stop being bullied."

Lu Sheng touched the big dog's head: "Okay."

After resting for a few days, Lu Sheng and Lu Yan took the big dog and the donkey cart to the county seat. The two of them originally planned to find an inn to stay first, and then slowly look for a house in a tooth shop. However, it turned out that there were many guests in the inn who were afraid of dogs, so the two of them voluntarily left without asking, so they decided not to disturb other people's business.

The two of them went directly to Yahang, which had a backyard. After asking for permission, they tied the donkey and dog in the backyard. The Yaman is still the same Yaman when he first looked at the shop. He decided on the shop before settling on the place to live.

Forty taels of silver were gone in the blink of an eye, and Lu Yan was heartbroken. The Pianaga man still sighed: "In fact, it is more cost-effective to buy it."

Lu Yan waved her hands weakly. After working from dawn to dusk for several months, plus the fifty taels of silver given by the Song family, she only had a total of more than one hundred taels in hand. In addition to renting a shop and renting an apartment, how could she get the money to buy a house?

There are more choices of places to live, and they are cheaper. Yaren knew the conditions of the two of them, so he directly eliminated the particularly good ones and the particularly bad ones, and only showed the two of them two houses. Both houses have an entrance courtyard, four rooms, and both have wells. The biggest difference is the location. One is closer to the vegetable market and farther from the shops. There are many small businesses in the neighborhood, earning fifteen taels of silver a year. The other is closer to the county school, which means it is closer to the shops, has a clean environment and is surrounded by residents. There are many scholars in the country, and they earn twenty-five taels of silver a year.

Lu Yan couldn't help but sigh: No matter in which era, housing in school districts was expensive! Then she chose a room in the school district without hesitation.

As soon as the deed was signed, the tooth man gave the key. Lu Yan and Lu Sheng took the donkey and followed the dog and moved in directly.

The new house has four rooms, and each room is equipped with a Kang. Finally, Lu Sheng and Lu Yan no longer have to squeeze into one room because of the cold. The two of them finally tidied up and went to the shop together.

The shop only has one shop fronting the street, and it connects to a small courtyard at the back. The small courtyard is just a courtyard without a house. Lu Yan decided to build a rainproof shed in the backyard so that she could store the ingredients without being exposed to the rain or the sun. Build an oven again. If you want to sell cakes, you can't do it without an oven. Lu Yan spent a tael of silver and found two craftsmen, and it was all done in a day and a half.

Lu Yan looked at the street-facing shop with only ten square meters and fell into deep thought. This was somewhat different from what she had originally thought. After all the cooking, there wasn't much room left for eating.

Lu Yan thought about it all afternoon, and at night she lit a lamp and boiled oil to draw a simple diagram. She took it and went to find a craftsman the next day. Only after the craftsmen finished the work after five or six days of hard work did Lu Sheng know what kind of layout Lu Yan wanted.

Enter the shop through the main door, and on the left hand side of the entrance is the counter, where the accounts are settled. In the innermost part of the house, next to the courtyard, Lu Yan separated a kitchen with a stove and chimney. All the vacant walls in the house were suspended with half-meter-wide wooden boards used as tables. There were several high stools placed under the wooden boards. There was not a single square table commonly used in restaurants in the whole house. They were all mounted on the wall, with enough space between them. There are more than a dozen seats and there is room in the middle for people to move around.

The plaque was still written by Lu Sheng, with the two characters "Lu Ji" written by dragons and phoenixes. Lu Sheng also asked Lu Sheng to write the menu. Lu Yan thought about it and only wrote two items for morning food and snacks. The skewers for evening food do not need a menu. The others will be put into trial operation first and then slowly added.

The county town is a completely unfamiliar place. How can we quickly open up the market? Lu Yan decided to use her old method and try it out.

She hired five children, gave them ten cents a day, and took care of two meals. A group of children competed for the job. Children run around every day carrying a wooden box with coupons and tastings wrapped in oil paper bags, shouting about it while walking down the street.

"Lu Ji Food Shop is about to open. Try out the new products. It's free to try them!"

"Two penny coupons, first come first served!"

"You don't have to pay for it, just eat it. If you're not satisfied, just turn around and leave!"

"Lu Ji's new food, don't charge a penny, come and try it!"

The love of taking advantage is an impulse engraved in human beings' bones. When they hear that they don't want money, they have to stop the children and ask what's going on.

The child introduced it fluently: "Lu Ji's new product, which one do you want to try? This is a stew that you have never eaten before; these are sausages, some sweet and some spicy; these are the fish balls hand-made by the boss; This is the most popular cake, sweet and soft... Which one do you want to try? You can try them all."

Good guy, why don’t you try them all?

This is a big deal. People who don’t have a lot of money are thinking about the meatless but meaty stew; people who have a lot of money have already fallen into the spicy and sweet sausages; people who like seafood think about that every day. Sweet and delicious fish balls; girls and children will never forget the sweet and soft cake.

Lu Ji hasn't opened yet, and a group of people are already waiting eagerly for its opening with two cents worth of coupons in their hands.
