Early in the morning, Mao Xi followed Mu Zhiyuan to the horse shop to buy a horse. She chose a short yellow horse similar to Mr. Marlborough.

The master from the horse shop installed the carriage for him and gave him some oral instructions on how to raise it.

The moment she got the pony carriage, she excitedly drove it directly to the countryside. The speed was indeed much faster than the previous donkey cart.

Mao Xi saw a fisherman fishing in a boat by the river, so he went up to him and asked if he had any small carp for sale.

The fisherman was puzzled: "Little girl, these little carp are not delicious, they have no meat!"

Mao Xi planned to take these small fish back to the fields to raise grass fish, so he said to the fisherman: "Uncle, I only want small carp, which will taste delicious when grilled!"

The fisherman stopped asking questions. He found a dozen small carp from the bucket and sold them to Mao Xi at a cheap price.

Just when he was about to skewer the fish's mouth with a wicker, Ma Xi stopped him.

"Uncle, I want to keep these fish at home for a day and spit out the mud."

Then, she turned back to the carriage and took the opportunity to take out a large wooden barrel from the space.

The fisherman poured the fish into the bucket and filled it half with water.

At this time, another young fisherman came to the side, stopped the pole, and shouted to Ma Xi: "Sister, you want a small carp, right?"

Mao Xi nodded sharply at him.

"I was unlucky today. I cast two nets, and all I caught were small strips of carp. I sold them to you cheaply."

The big wooden barrel was filled with small carps in no time.

Mao Xi guessed that Xiaoqing should have gone to Xishuimen this morning to buy the fish and shrimp for the day. She looked at the two fishermen's fishing boats again, thinking about taking care of their business, so she bought the biggest fish in their buckets. All the fish were bought.

The old fisherman and the young fisherman looked like they were a family. When they saw that Ma Xi looked like a kitchen maid who came to buy something for a food shop, they asked tentatively: "Little girl, you are the kitchen maid of the restaurant in town, right?"

Ma Xi is small, only fifteen years old, and no one would think of her as a food shop owner.

She straightened her body and said with a small smile: "Old fisherman, I own a food shop in Lihua Town, and I am the shopkeeper of Liuxiang Snacks in Lihua Town!"

When the old fisherman saw that it was the shopkeeper of the food shop, he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "It turns out she is the shopkeeper's wife. She is young. There are really many talents in Lihua Town!"

Mao Xi turned around and thought, the fish here at the old fisherman's place were fresher and cheaper than those at Xishuimen.

So I discussed with him and asked him if he was willing to deliver directly to the food shop.

The young fisherman was very positive after hearing this. He felt that although his fishing skills were not as good as those of his old father, he could still be responsible for delivering goods.

The two parties verbally agreed in advance on the types and quantities of river fish and shrimps to be delivered daily.

Mao Xi paid a deposit of 200 Wen in advance to the young fisherman and said, "Brother Yu, I'll leave it to you for tomorrow's river fresh food. If you catch any clams, please bring them with you tomorrow morning. I'll find someone to draft a delivery agreement for you tomorrow." have a look."

Brother Yu was wearing a bamboo hat, and his tanned face showed a row of big white teeth when he smiled.

Mao Xi put the fish and shrimps he bought in the shop first, and then asked Luda to drive the carriage back to Liujia Village and release small carps in the fields. When the rice matures, they will become grass carps and can be used to make fish bream.

Shanhaidou is selling like hot cakes. Those who didn’t buy it yesterday are all scheduled to pick up food today.

Xiaoqing and Lou Laner were planting leek seedlings in Shanhaidou.

Mao Xi asked about yesterday's progress: "Have all the reservations made yesterday been taken care of?"

Xiao Qing nodded: "We have been here all morning. A few diners came to order food in the middle of the day, so it was a bit slow and there were some shortages of people."

Exquisite dishes are indeed labor-intensive, so Mao Xi immediately asked the scholar to write a recruitment notice, planning to hire two more helpers.

Lou Lan'er heard from diners this morning that the old Ruifeng Building site was being renovated recently and would probably open in a few days.

She reminded Mao Xi that some new dishes must be served, otherwise the customer flow will be attracted to the new store once it opens.

At present, Shanhai Dou is selling like hot cakes, and the children are singing it very well, so Shuang Xi decided to make it even more popular and launch a Dou Cai series.

Including: mountain and sea bag, vegetable bag, bamboo shoot bag, mushroom bag, fish bag and shrimp bag.

These bags are not only sold alone, but can also be added to noodles.

Vegetarian dishes are priced at 12 yuan for three dishes, and meat dishes are priced at 20 yuan for three dishes.

Xiao Qing took out a basket of bracken and said to Mao Xi: "Aunt Chen brought a lot of bracken early in the morning. I made two large pots of Shanhaidou stuffing and mixed another pot of bracken. There are so many left. what to do?"

Mao Xi took the basket and went to the kitchen alone.

<100 servings of bracken are full> Obtain 20 Wen.

<Reminder: Bracken is slightly poisonous! Don’t eat too much, please control it! >

Mao Xi quickly asked Xiao Qing: "Is the bracken cooked today?"

"I followed what you taught me yesterday. I made the fillings after they were boiled, and steamed them before selling them."

"From now on, the bracken in Shanhaidou will be replaced by mushrooms. Today, each person will only sell one portion. The cold bracken will not be sold for now. We will make two meals and eat it ourselves."

Xiaoqing was puzzled. She had often eaten this bracken before: "Ah Shu, is there something wrong with this bracken?"

Mao Xi dispelled Xiaoqing's concerns and said, "It's hard to digest wild vegetables if you eat too much. You can't eat them often. I'm worried that diners will have problems after eating them."

The next day, Zhe Mei came to visit and she brought a food box to prepare Ma Xi's new Doucai series.

She hadn't seen Zhemei in some days, so Mao Xi asked Xiao Qing to prepare the vegetables. She invited Zhemei to the cubicle and asked, "Sister Zhemei, have you not come to buy fruits from me for several days?"

Zhemei sighed softly and said, "Sima Yuan has frequently brought me to meet his friends recently. Every time he goes out, he goes back and forth for two days. It's very boring."

Mao Xi felt that Sima Yuan's ability to bring Zhe Mei to meet his friends showed that he still cared about her, so he comforted her: "Master Sima may be paving the way for marrying you by bringing you to meet his friends."

"Maybe, it's just that those people are either the second generation of wealthy businessmen or the children of officials. They are all a bunch of arty people. I feel like following Sima Yuan is like a decoration."

"That shouldn't be the case. Mr. Sima can talk freely about poetry and poetry with you, so how can his friends be mediocre."

When Zhemei recalled the way Sima Yuan's friends looked at her at the dinner party, she shuddered unconsciously.

Xiaoqing came to the cubicle and reminded Mao Xi that someone was looking for her: "Miss Zhemei's food box has been packed. Shopkeeper, a fisherman came to see you and said he came to see the agreement."

Zhemei stood up, took the food box, and said goodbye to Shu Xi: "Miss Shu, if you have something else to do, I won't interrupt you. I'll take my leave."

Mao Xi hurriedly invited Brother Yu in, took out the draft delivery agreement, and said: "Brother Yu, this is the draft agreement. You can take it back to study it first. If there are no problems, you can sign it."

Brother Yu took the agreement and scanned it over, and said: "Shop Manager Shu Xi, I don't know much about literacy. I'll go back and study it first. When I come to sign the contract, can I ask my fellow countryman to be the [writer]?"

"No problem, you can go back and see if it needs to be changed. Recently, the demand for river fresh food has been high, and it will be hard work for Brother Yu and Grandpa Yu."

Yu Xiaochuan walked to the door and carefully stuffed the draft agreement into his pocket. He even changed into clean clothes today and sighed inwardly: "The price this shopkeeper gave is higher than the fishmonger in Xishuimen. It's true! Just now!" The lady who left first smells so good."

He turned around and went to the market, intending to buy some rouge powder for his sister and mother.
