daily struggle in ancient times

Although Wei Yun may be pregnant, but the peasants are not so expensive, and it is not uncommon for them to go to the field with a big belly. Aunt Huo came here like this when she was young, but she was not allowed to do heavy work.

Wei Yun also consciously reduced the production of some pastries, which made it more and more difficult to buy Wei's pastries in the past few days.

The pastries he makes are not inferior to those made by the dim sum shops in the city, but the price is much lower. In just a few days, people in the village are now happy to buy a pack of Wei's pastries. It's not particularly big either.Therefore, the pastries made by Wei Yun have not worried about selling these past few days, and there is a tendency that the supply is in short supply. Now a part of the supply is suddenly reduced, and naturally many people cannot buy it.

But Wei Yun only said that the materials at home are not enough, and the new ones have not been bought yet, so there is no other gossip.Although the Huo family invited the doctor that day, everyone said that Wei Xiaodi felt a little uncomfortable, and everyone knew that he was weak, and he had to see the doctor several times a year without doubting it.

Little did he know that the little guy really had nothing to do this time, he was just taking the blame for his elder brother.

Huo Cheng, who was far away in Qingyuan County, knew nothing about it.

Tong's Restaurant got some bacon from somewhere today, and Xiaoer sold it to anyone he saw. A plate of the simplest fried bacon with garlic sprouts cost [-] cents, which is about the same price as Nandi itself.Those Southerners who had just returned from the capital were panicking at this thought. Although they were skeptical about the craftsmanship of the Northlanders, they still ordered a few dishes that were not bad for money.

I didn't expect much from this dish at first, but when the dish was served, most of the people on the table were relieved. This bacon is thin, red, fat and transparent, with a salty and sweet taste, and a refreshing smoky taste.Lean meat is not firewood, fat meat is not greasy, it is better than many home-cooked ones, and it is rare in the Southland.

The person who ordered the food was just trying it out, but he didn't expect the quality of the bacon to be so beyond his expectation, so he couldn't help but said happily: "Trade shopkeeper, where did you get the bacon, there is not much, and there is too much." Sell ​​me some!"

In addition to buying food and running an inn, Tongjia Restaurant also sells some northern earthenware. If guests eat something from the store and want to take it home, the restaurant also sells it.The person who asked the question was a regular customer of the Tong's family. He had been sailing with the current owner since he was a teenager. After so many years, although he has become a manager, he still has a different feeling for the Tong's restaurant.Basically every time I come to Qingyuan County, I have to come here to eat a few meals.

Ordering bacon is just to show off to shopkeeper Tong, but I didn't expect this bacon to be delicious, not to mention better than my mother-in-law's, and it tastes as good as the one in Nandi's shop.It takes nearly a month to float on the water from Qingyuan County to home, and buying two catties can also be used for tooth-beating sacrifices on the road.

Hearing this, someone familiar with him asked, "Zhao Si, is this bacon so delicious?"

Zhao Si chuckled, shook his head and said, "I think it's done!"

The man asked again: "Then how did you do with your mother-in-law?"

Zhao Si was chewing the delicious bacon, gave the man a glance, and scolded with a smile: "You rascal, you want to talk to me again! This bacon is naturally not comparable to the craftsmanship of my family, but compared to Jinxiangyuan in the city Not bad at all!"

Everyone roared with laughter, but the person who asked the question was a little surprised. Others didn't know that he came out of the same place as Zhao Si, but it was very clear.The bacon from Jinxiangyuan is well-known in the local area, and many wealthy families will buy it. Zhao Si actually said that the bacon is not bad from Jinxiangyuan?

He quickly ordered one, and the people around saw him and ordered one without a second thought. They were not stupid, and a serving of bacon was not too expensive for them, so they also ordered one after another.

In just one stick of incense, five catties of bacon were sold out.

The shopkeeper Tong is so happy that he can't see his teeth. One catty of bacon can fry three or four dishes, and one dish can earn at least [-] Wen. Earning three or five taels, let alone other things, is simply a lucrative business.

Therefore, shopkeeper Tong answered Zhao Si's words, and went out to find Huo Cheng on the other side.

Shopkeeper Tong would be extremely grateful that Huo Cheng came to the Tong's restaurant, and he was so discerning that he didn't fool him, and even asked him for a place to stay, so that he could keep the business firmly in his hands.

When he came to the door, Huo Xiaoyong had already gone out to look at it many times, and kept talking about how he didn't know how the bacon was selling, why shopkeeper Tong didn't come to the door, and so on.

Huo Dayong was dizzy by his retweeting, and was annoyed by the reading. He couldn't help but said: "Don't retweet, it won't sell well even if you look at it a thousand times. Why don't you turn it around? If you're really idle, you're fine. Just tie a grasshopper for the copper lock to play with."

Tongsuo is their little grandson who lives in this house, the one who dislikes the ugly clay figurine he gave him.

Huo Xiaoyong scratched his head, feeling very anxious, but he couldn't get angry with his elder brother, so he went out to dig the soil in a dull mood.Didn't the little boy despise the ugliness he made, so he will make more for him!

Huo Dayong was also anxious, but he was not as restless as his brother, and besides, this business would not produce results immediately.

Huo Cheng and Gu Hongzhi were old gods, they didn't look nervous at all, and they still wanted to discuss where to buy and what to buy on the way back, and what to buy in the county so that they would be handy.

Just when Huo Dayong was about to be unable to sit still, Shopkeeper Tong finally arrived late. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Huo Xiaoyong squatting under the wall playing with mud. He didn't have the intention of saying hello, and asked straight to the point: "This little brother , where is Brother Huo Cheng?"

Huo Xiaoyong exhausted all his strength to make his voice sound less excited: "In the room, Dacheng, shopkeeper Tong is looking for you!"

Although he wondered why his face was so stiff, once he found out where Huo Cheng was, shopkeeper Tong didn't care about such small problems, and hurried into the house.

Several people in the room who came to the store with Huo Cheng last time were there. Shopkeeper Tong knew they were together, so he didn't avoid them. As soon as he entered the door, he laughed and said, "Brother Huo, I'm here to give you good news!"

Before Huo Cheng could speak, shopkeeper Tong sat down on his own, and started talking like a cannonball: "Today, I want to settle the bacon business with Brother Huo, so I will do it according to the conditions that Brother Huo said, as long as the business is done. One, you can only sell this bacon to my Tongjia restaurant, and you can’t sell it to another restaurant. I will buy the bacon recipe for 200 taels in five years, but you can only sell it to my family.”

Huo Cheng: "Okay, I guarantee that Qingyuan County will only supply your family's goods, and the prescription will only be given to Tong's restaurant, but if other people use some method to get this prescription out, I can't control it." This is his The result of the discussion with Gu Hongzhi just now.

Shopkeeper Tong glanced at him with a smirk, "Brother Huo is so scheming!" What's the use of providing for his family only in Qingyuan County, at least the whole state and county can only have him?There are also many people who love this area in the east and west. If it is only limited to Qingyuan County, it will be a waste of money!

As for the fact that this man beat him and asked the Tong family to cover up one or two things for him, he didn't care.Huo Cheng's thoughts show that he is not a stupid person, nor is he a greedy person. It is much easier to deal with such a person.

After thinking so much, it was just a moment.

Seeing that he seemed displeased, Gu Hongzhi hurriedly cupped his hands with a smile and said, "Shopkeeper Tong doesn't know anything. We are just ordinary people who are farmers and have limited knowledge. If there is something wrong, let's talk about it later." .Meeting is fate, business cannot be done with righteousness, so don't hurt your friendship."

He passed the steps, and shopkeeper Tong naturally used the slope to descend the donkey. Several people discussed for a long time before finally drawing up the conditions.

The restaurant bought bacon from the Huo family at a price of 200 taels per catty, and the Huo family got [-]% of the profit from selling the bacon. Five years later, the restaurant bought the bacon prescription at a price of [-] taels.

During the period of cooperation between the two parties, except for the Huo family's own business in Ping County, the Huo family is not allowed to sell bacon to other restaurants in Yongzhou.Bacon recipes are also not allowed to be sold to third parties other than Tong's family, but it is not a breach of contract unless the Huo family leaked it.

Once the contract was signed, shopkeeper Tong not only bought the remaining [-] catties of bacon in Huo Cheng's hands, but also ordered another [-] catties of bacon, the deposit plus the meat paid a total of one and a half.

It's not that he doesn't want to make more orders, it's that the Huo family can only supply so much at the moment, which makes shopkeeper Tong very upset, and repeatedly tells him to do it as soon as he goes back.

As soon as he left, Huo Xiaoyong slipped in from the yard immediately. He heard it against the corner of the wall just outside. The two and a half were just a deposit. Later, seventy catties of meat were shipped over, and there were two taels of silver. This, this Simply unimaginable!

One must know that it would be good for his family to save two taels of silver all the year round from morning to night, not to mention the two taels in a short while, and there will be a steady stream of two taels in the future, he feels like he is in a dream!

Huo Dayong was no better than him, even Gu Hongzhi was a little excited, only Huo Cheng remained calm.

After the business was negotiated, several people planned to go back home, and go back early so as to deliver meat to shopkeeper Tong.It's just that before leaving, Huo Cheng went to the pier again.

He came out this time with 200 taels. The medicinal material business cannot be done, but other things can.

The sugar in the north has always been expensive, especially the white sugar from the south, which is as white as snow and has always been available only to wealthy families.

This sugar is not only sweeter, but also easier to store.Grocery stores in the county seldom sell them, and even if they do, they will be quickly bought by big households in the city.

Huo Cheng's target is these candies. Tong's family is the boss here, they are very familiar on the pier, and the two are partners. Shopkeeper Tong doesn't mind doing this little favor.

This is both a show of energy and a deterrent.

The 200 taels of silver were quickly exchanged for [-] catties of white sugar. There were too many things. It happened that the boy of the Tong family was going to transport the meat. of.

Shopkeeper Tong naturally did not disagree, and collected the fare in a regular manner. The previous one was considered a friend's help, and this is a serious business!

Only then did a few people pack up and set foot on the way home.

Just like when they came here, Huo Cheng and his party stopped and stopped along the way, not missing any chance to make money. The Tong family's buddy was taken aback for a while. It was the first time he saw such a down-to-earth A must-run businessman.

Although it took some time on the road, a few people were eager to return home, and there was a big guy like Baitang, so Huo Cheng and the others just accepted it as soon as it was good, and they didn't want to be as careful as when they came.

The group of people hurried and hurried, and finally saw the outline of Lijia Village in the evening five days later.

Huo Cheng has never been so excited to go home as he is now, but he doesn't know that this is just the beginning.
