I opened a restaurant in ancient times

Zhao Heng has already figured out that the food he spends on is nothing more than sweets that girls and boys like, or hot pots like skewers that most people like.

His shop first prepares some food that suits the tastes of people in Zhilan Town that day, and then slowly introduces new food.

It will be the Qixi Festival in a few days, so he has to buy some ingredients in a few days.Thinking about this all the way, Zhao Heng arrived at the door without knowing it.

Zhao Haha had been waiting at the door for a long time, but he didn't come. Now that Zhao Heng finally came back, Zhao Haha wagged his tail excitedly and rushed forward.

"Wow! Woof!"

The way it shook its head immediately attracted Zhao Heng's attention. Zhao Heng bent down and touched its head, then opened the door and entered the yard.

He picked up the shovel on the side and went to the cellar in the corner of the yard.Zhang Qiao and the others had previously talked about the precautions for digging a cellar.

Zhao Heng thought to himself, there is nothing to do now anyway, so it's better to dig some more quickly, so as to save Zhang Qiao and the others from being busy.

He buried his head and started to work, and before he knew it, it was slowly getting dark.Zhao Heng stopped, wiped the sweat off his head, put the shovel aside, and went to the stove.

It's time to cook for Zhao Haha, otherwise he will come over with his little rice bowl in his mouth to beg for it.Thinking of its naive attitude, Zhao Heng smiled and shook his head.

Zhao Heng had never raised cats or dogs before, so it was usually what he ate.After the meal was ready, Zhao Heng raised his voice and called to it: "Haha! Come here!"

Zhao Haha was playing with a weed in the yard, when he heard Zhao Heng's voice, he immediately let go of his nest and took out the rice bowl, and ran to Zhao Heng like a gallop. He raised his head and yelled loudly : "Wow woof woof!"

Zhao Heng first took out the rice bowl from its mouth, and filled some of the freshly cooked rice into its bowl.But it can't eat too hot food, so Zhao Heng put the rice bowl higher.

After confirming that it would not touch the rice bowl, Zhao Heng brought his own bowl over, filled it with food and put it on the table.Looking at the food on his table, Zhao Heng glanced at Zhao Haha again, picked it up, turned around and went to the kitchen to get Zhao Haha's rice bowl.

It's not that he insisted on hugging Zhao Haha, but he knew too well that that son of a bitch Zhao Haha didn't bring Zhao Haha here, and it would definitely run to the table and eat his food.

Zhao Haha was not being honest in Zhao Heng's arms at this time. He kicked his legs around and accidentally hurt Zhao Heng. Zhao Heng patted his dog's head to calm him down.

After taking Zhao Haha's rice bowl, it calmed down and stopped making noise.Staying quietly in Zhao Heng's arms, staring at the rice bowl in Zhao Heng's hand with bright black eyes.

At this time, the food in the rice bowl had cooled down, which was just right for Zhao Haha to eat.Zhao Heng put Zhao Haha on the ground, and then put Zhao Haha down.

He stroked Zhao Haha's hairy head, and said to it, "Let's eat!" Immediately, he himself sat on the stool.After working all day, I finally had time to take a good rest.

Just after eating, Zhao Heng was sitting in the yard bathing Zhao Haha when he heard Zhang Qiao's voice outside the door.He hurriedly let go of Zhao Haha, got up and went to open the door for Zhang Qiao.

It was Zhang Qiao and Da Shan who came, and each took some wood and bricks in their hands.Both of them are young men with strong bodies, and they are used to such heavy work in the dock, so they are not very tired now.

Zhao Heng hurriedly told the two to put down the burdens in their hands, and said to Zhang Qiao, "Why did you get these bricks and stones? But they are for the cellar?"

"Exactly." Zhang Qiao put down the burden on his shoulders, raised his palm and rubbed it, and said with a smile, "I got it from someone I know, so it's very cheap. I think I need some bricks to dig the cellar." The stone is only strong, otherwise it will collapse and there will be no place to cry."

Hearing this, Zhao Heng slapped himself on the head suddenly: "Look at my memory, I heard you tell me about this yesterday, but I didn't expect to forget it."

"What's the matter, anyway, I bought it from someone I know. It didn't cost much, and it's safe to use, so I don't have to worry about cutting corners."

That's what he said, but Zhao Heng still felt a little guilty.He had already troubled others to help dig the cellar, but now Zhang Qiao was asked to buy bricks and stones out of his own pocket.

Zhao Heng thought for a while, and said to the two of them: "Well, I'll give you how much money you spent on bricks and stones. I can't let you help and spend money again. If you tell me, who will be my friend in the future? ah!"

What's more, Zhang Qiao was originally working on the dock in the town to earn money, and he could only save some money after working hard all day long, although he still didn't want others to help with the money.

Zhang Qiao smiled and said, "Okay, I don't have much money anyway. Let's dig the cellar right away, so we don't have to think about it anymore."

Dashan is a silent person, and he doesn't like to talk much on weekdays. He is not very familiar with Zhao Heng, so he didn't open his mouth much when he came to Zhao Heng's house this time.

He just put down the burden on his shoulders in silence, followed the two to the corner of the yard, bent down and started to do his work.

Originally, Zhang Qiao and the others had almost dug the cellar the day before, and Zhao Heng did some more just today, so now there is only finishing work left in the cellar.

Zhang Qiao and Da Shan moved quickly, and quickly installed the wooden beams and bricks.Zhao Heng didn't understand these things, so he didn't step forward to trouble the two of them, but just stood aside and handed them tools inside.

When the two of them were about to finish their work, Zhao Heng went into the house to get the food prepared for them.

This is the food he plans to sell when he opens a shop in the future, and now there are only a few servings, except for Brother Yuan who tasted it, no one else knows about it.

In order to thank Zhang Qiao for taking the time to help, as well as the other brothers, Zhao Heng prepared these things for them to taste in the afternoon.

After quickly getting some food, Zhao Heng went out.These jars contained the bibimbap sauce that he specially made, and Zhao Heng also specially made it without spicy peppers, so they should like it.

Zhao Heng handed the jars in his hand to Zhang Qiao and Dashan, and gave them a few jars respectively: "Daqiao Dashan, take these back for your family to taste. I made them fresh, and they are the only ones in this family. , can’t be bought anywhere else!”

Zhang Qiao had tasted the food he sold before and they tasted good, but now the smell made him feel a little greedy. He swallowed, and said to Zhao Heng: "We are friends from the beginning, so it's too polite, there's no need for it."

Although he said so in his mouth, his eyes were fixed on the small jar in Zhao Heng's hand. The faint scent wafting from it made him a little unbearable, and the saliva in his mouth kept secreting. stand up.

It's a pity that his eyes were too obvious, which made Da Shan, who was traveling with him, a little embarrassed.Dashan nudged him with his elbow, then turned to Zhao Heng and said, "Since it's a kind heart, please feel free to ask us to do it."

"Okay," Zhao Heng smiled and narrowed his eyes. He reached out and stuffed the small jar into Zhang Qiao's hand, and said to him, "Take it home and give it to your mother to try."

He gave some bibimbap sauce to the two of them, and asked them to bring some to Xiao Kai and the others, so he also gave it to Xiao Kai, after all Xiao Kai came to help, otherwise what would others think.

Zhang Qiao took it, laughed "hehe" twice, and stopped rejecting it.He said: "Then I will accept it, thank you!"

"No, it should be me thanking you." Zhang Qiao saved his time to help him thank Zhang Qiao.

Zhao Heng gave the two of them some money and asked them to share some with Xiao Kai, and these were regarded as his wages for digging the cellar.

At first, the two refused to ask for it, until Zhao Heng refused and said: "There is a custom in our family. If the house breaks ground, we must give a red envelope to the person who comes to help, for the sake of safety. You accept it." , I feel more at ease." The two accepted it.

At this time, it was Xu time, it was getting late, and he was already asleep at this time on weekdays.Zhang Qiao looked at the time and said to Zhao Heng: "Then we won't stay any longer, it's getting late, I'll go."

"Wait." Zhao Heng thought of going into the house, took out two oil seals from the drawer, and handed them to Zhang Qiao and Dashan respectively. This oil seal can also see some roads clearly."

The path in Dahe Village is rugged, so no one goes out after dark at night. One is that everyone’s work and rest are used to working at sunset and sunrise, and the other is that the road is not smooth. He sprained his foot because he couldn't see the way.

Zhao Heng had only returned at night before, so he knew how rough the path was, so he brought them two oil seals.

When the two finally left, Zhao Heng went to his room, relaxed his muscles, and quickly fell asleep.After all, I told people that I only have one day off, so I still have to get up early to go to Beishi tomorrow.

Early the next morning, he got up and began to pack the things he needed in the kitchen. If there were no accidents, today should be his last day at the stall in Beishi.

The booth that he originally rented in the government is coming soon, and he is no longer going to continue to do business here. After telling all the old customers this time, he will start doing business on Queqiao Street in the future.

Thinking this way, he has already arrived at the entrance of the village. Today, as usual, Brother Yuan is already waiting here. Seeing him, Jiang Yuan hastened his pace, walked to his side, and said, "Are you going to Beishi today? "

What Jiang Yuan thought was that since he was ready to open a store on Queqiao Street, Beishi could not continue to do so, at most until the store opened for business.He was hesitating what to say when he suddenly heard Zhao Heng's voice.

"Yes, the merchants around me, as I said before, I will go today. If I don't go, wouldn't it be a breach of trust?" Zhao Heng smiled, pushed the small cart, and continued to walk forward.

"That's exactly what I think." Jiang Yuan nodded, and said with a smile: "Then let's go quickly, the days to come are still long, I'm more open-minded, if it's useful to me, just tell me Just one sound."

Zhao Heng nodded, he definitely wouldn't and definitely wanted to listen.With that in mind, the two arrived in Beishi.

Seen from a distance, he said, the two hurriedly walked a little faster, and arrived at their booth.

Someone saw that they had finally arrived, so they couldn't wait to go forward and asked, "Boss, why did you come here yesterday and didn't see you coming out of the stall, and ran for nothing."

Zhao Heng glanced at him and recognized him as a customer who came here to buy food, so he smiled and said to him: "There is indeed something."

Immediately, he turned up the volume and said to the people in front of him: "Guests, starting tomorrow, we will not set up a stall here."

Before the words were finished, some impatient people asked loudly: "Didn't you say to take a day off earlier, why did you say you won't set up a stall?"

Zhao Heng heard the sound and looked over, and said with a smile: "My guest, don't worry, just listen to me."

Did someone chime in immediately! "

Zhao Heng and Jiang Yuan looked at each other, and then said to everyone: "From tomorrow, I will move to the shop on Queqiao Street, and I will not set up a stall in Beishi from now on."

"When I open, everyone is welcome to watch the excitement. The first few guests who go there on the opening day will have discounts and surprise gifts!"

Someone whispered to the people around him: "Huh, that's fine, as long as the stall is still open, I managed to eat this food this year, otherwise I'm really afraid that I won't be able to eat this cold noodle in the summer."

He didn't realize it at first, but after he finished speaking, this person suddenly realized that this boss is going to sell food in the shop on Queqiao Street?

How long has he been in Beishi now before he can go to Queqiao Street?But after thinking about it, in the final analysis, it was because of his good craftsmanship, otherwise he would not have been able to go to Queqiao Street in just a few months.

Where is Queqiao Street? It is a very lively street.In the past, if there were festivals or special occasions in Zhilan Town, they would be held on Queqiao Street.

Queqiao Street is much wider than ordinary streets, so many people often go there on weekdays, especially during festivals.

Thinking about it this way, this boss has really made a lot of money during this period of time.He came to his senses and hurried forward a few steps, he came today to buy some Liangpi.

After hearing Zhao Heng's words, some people planned to go earlier in the day, he wanted discounts and mysterious gifts!

But after thinking about it, he still opened his mouth and asked Zhao Heng, "Boss, can you give us a certain date, when is the first day of opening?"

Zhao Heng thought for a while and said, "At the end of this month, maybe seven days later, we must wait for everyone to come over at the door to join in the fun! And, I forgot to mention just now, don't worry, we will never raise the price, so don't worry. Just buy food!"

There were people who were hesitant at first, but now that they heard this, they became more determined to go to Queqiao Street to see the excitement. Anyway, the price would not increase, and it would be fine as usual to buy food in Beishi.

"Boss, two Liangpi."

"Okay, it will be ready soon!" Zhao Heng and Shi started to get busy, one started cooking the noodles, and the other cleaned up the dishes.

……

After finally waiting for the guests to leave, he has been asked relevant questions by all the guests this morning, and he didn't have time to drink his saliva, so now his throat is a little sore.

Jiang Yuan looked at him, and quickly turned around to pour him a glass of warm water: "Drink some water to moisten your throat, is this a sore throat?"

Zhao Heng took the water bowl he handed over, drank it clean in one gulp, put the bowl on the table, and replied, "Well, I've been talking just now, and now my throat hurts."

Jiang Yuan watched him pour a cup of hot water, and said, "If the pain is severe, why don't you go to the clinic to get some medicine later."

"Where is the need to get medicine?" Zhao Heng was a little happy, but also a little bit dumbfounded.The happy thing is that Brother Yuan is worrying about him. It's not a bad feeling to be worried about by someone.

The reason why he couldn't laugh or cry was because Brother Yuan was a little worried. His situation was just because he talked too much and didn't drink water, and it wasn't because he was sick.But he only said: "No need, it will be fine in a while."

Hearing what he said, Jiang Yuan also realized that if he cared about it, he would be chaotic, so he nodded in response, and went to clean up the work at hand with his head down.

"By the way!" Zhao Heng suddenly remembered something, slapped his head and said to Jiang Yuan: "Brother Yuan, I almost forgot to tell you that the cellar at home is already ready, and I'm just waiting to put the pears in it. Let's go to the warehouse at the pier and ask someone to send it back to the village, shall we?"

"Okay. I don't know if the pear has been spoiled after pawning for such a long time, and I should put it in my home as soon as possible to rest assured."

Zhao Heng nodded in agreement, and the two of them drove away. After packing up, Zhao Heng pushed the cart, and the two walked to the booth next to them together.

Zhao Heng thought, before leaving here, in addition to saying something to the old customers, it is best to get acquainted with them and there is only one person, and that is the old man next to him.

Zhao Heng deliberately left a copy of Liangpi to give to Uncle Li. After all, he will not set up a stall in Beishi in the future, so there may be a lot of them. It would be too polite for Zhao Heng to send a copy of Liangpi out now.

The old man Li was also idle at this time. Seeing this, Zhao Heng walked up to him with Jiang Yuan, and said hello: "Old man Li, I won't come to Beishi to set up a stall tomorrow. The Liangpi is specially reserved for you, you can give it to the children at home."

Old Uncle Li sat on the chair next to him, heard the sound, and looked up at him in surprise: "Will you come to set up a stall tomorrow?"

"Yes, we will do business on Magpie Bridge Street in the future." Zhao Heng said with a smile.

"That's it, then I'll congratulate you first, Queqiao Street is much better than Beishi!" Hearing the reason for this, Old Man Li couldn't help sighing in his heart that he was a young man.

But in the final analysis, I only sighed, and stopped thinking about those things. Looking at the Liangpi in Zhao Heng's hand, he took it with a smile, and said: "I am happy, I will accept this bowl of Liangpi, I wish Boss Zhao Business is booming in the future!"

Zhao Heng smiled heartily and said, "I accept your good words!"

After the two bid farewell to Old Uncle Li, and after Zhao Heng left the cart in the depository, he and Jiang Yuan went to the warehouse at the pier.

It was discussed with the merchant before to put it in his place, but after the merchant left Zhilan Town, he found another small warehouse nearby to store the pears first.

A lot of rent has been spent these days, and now his own cellar has been dug, so there is no need to store it here. Zhao Heng is going to hire a few people to deliver some of the pears to his home and store them in the cellar.

The other part was placed in the store. Originally, Zhao Heng remembered that there was a smaller cellar in the store. It was so good that it could be stored there, so that the family could run away when the store opened.

Most of the warehouses at the wharf are used by various merchants to store things. Generally speaking, the goods are more expensive, so the warehouses here are guarded.

Zhao Heng took the key, and went in with Brother Yuan again.Looking around, I saw various dock workers working hard to carry the goods.

Zhao Heng went to the small warehouse with him to move the goods.

All the things were opened and moved to an open place. These things had to be checked by the foreman, and the wages were agreed upon before they could move them.And you have to pay a deposit, otherwise what will you do if you are tricked.

After the foreman checked, Zhao Heng gave him the two addresses that needed to be delivered.If you go to deliver it now, you can arrive in Dahe Village, which is farther away, around mid-afternoon.

But Queqiao Street, which is closer, has to wait until later to start delivery. No one else, just because there are too many people on Queqiao Street at this time, it is not convenient, so we can only wait until the night when there are fewer people to deliver.

Zhao Heng is still not very familiar with the terrain of Queqiao Street, so he didn't say anything, just nodded in response, and said to the foreman, "How much money do I need to pay as a deposit?"

The foreman looked at his goods, and the abacus in his hand made a "snap" sound, and a price was quoted after a while.After Zhao Heng paid the money, he took the contract and left here.

Once this matter is done, there is nothing to be busy with today.Lockers can store their carts until evening, so they're in no rush to go home now.

Although there are a lot of things to be busy tomorrow, but that is tomorrow, and today I can finally come out with Brother Yuan, so I must go for a stroll in the street.

If they come across something that Brother Yuan likes, they have known each other for so long, what is it?

It happened that there was a small shop next to them that sold all kinds of hairpins and purses, so Zhao Heng hurriedly dragged Jiang Yuan in and said, "Brother Yuan, let's go in and have a look!"

Jiang Yuan couldn't resist his entanglement, so he nodded in agreement.As soon as they entered the door, Xiaoer came to greet the two of them, but there were still quite a lot of customers in this store, so Xiaoer also came over to say hello, and then turned to go to work.

The rest, Zhao Heng and Jiang Yuan, wandered around here. Zhao Heng's eyes flicked over the gorgeous hairpins, and finally stopped on a blue hairpin with auspicious cloud patterns.

The hairpin was smooth and beautiful in color. He thought about the scene of the hairpin on Brother Yuan's head, and couldn't help feeling a little excited, so he hurriedly called Xiao Er.

"Xiaoer! How do you sell this hairpin?"

Jiang Yuan originally thought he was just coming in to take a look, but unexpectedly he called Xiao Er, did Jiang Yuan grab him in a hurry? "

"Buy a hairpin! This hairpin is so beautiful, it must be suitable for you. You look so good-looking, and you will look even better with this hairpin!"

Hearing what he said, no matter how thick-skinned Jiang Yuanrao was, he couldn't help feeling shy at this moment, he doesn't want this, so don't buy this. "

Zhao Heng was very puzzled: "Don't you like it?"

"I don't like it, don't buy this." This hairpin looked very expensive, and he started to spend money recklessly, and this hairpin was not as beautiful as he said.

Zhao Heng looked into Jiang Yuan's eyes. He obviously liked it very much, otherwise he wouldn't have been staring at him just now.

But looking at Brother Yuan's eyes now, Zhao Heng gave up on this idea, and it's okay to save it for Brother Yuan next time. Anyway, he is not in a hurry, and there will be a long time in the future.

As soon as Zhao Heng suppressed this little regret in his heart, before Zhao Heng came and said anything, he was dragged out of the door by Brother Yuan.

Jiang Yuan pulled him outside, and then he was relieved a little, the hairpin looked very expensive at first glance, and he couldn't spend money recklessly: "Let's go to the shop and see what's going on, let's go buy some good things together. gone."

Zhao Heng felt that he went to Magpie Bridge Street together.Queqiao Street is crowded with people at this time, and the bustling looks very lively.

This was the first time Zhao Heng and Jiang Yuan went to the store together.Uncle Yang had packed his things long ago, and the place is clean and dust-free, making it very comfortable to look at.

Looking around, Jiang Yuan said: "The tables, chairs, benches and the like here are still usable, so let's not change them for now. It won't be too late to change them after we open the business and earn some money."

"Well, I think the same way. If you change the tables, chairs and benches now and spend a lot of money, it's better to wait until later."

Zhao Heng looked at the windows in the lobby and found that they were very strong and could last for a long time, so he put them aside for the time being.

They walked to the backyard together, and the two small bedrooms in the backyard can be seen at a glance. The yard is small, but it has everything in it, and the kitchen is very big. Zhao Heng was very satisfied with the kitchen at the beginning.

The windows in the kitchen are bright and clean, and the stove, which was originally made of mud, has also been cleaned up, and the ground is flat. Now he is very grateful to the shopkeeper of Zhilan Restaurant.

If it wasn't for him, I'm afraid he is still looking for a suitable shop. The landlord here, Uncle Yang, is also a nice person who loves cleanliness. If not, he really has to think carefully before making a decision.

Uncle Yang is a talkative person, so Zhao Heng and Jiang Yuan have a good impression of him, and now that they have looked at the shop carefully, they can't help feeling more fond of Uncle Yang.

When I came to sign the contract earlier, the shop was still a bit messy, but at that time Zhao Heng thought, just tidy up this kind of small things by yourself, and there is no need to ask others to bother you again.

When I came back today, I found that Uncle Yang had cleaned up all the messy places.

All kinds of facilities in this shop are very complete, but Zhao Heng has to prepare things like bedding and sheets, which are not available now. There is only a bare bed board and a small cabinet in the bedroom, not even a table.

If these things are needed, they still have to buy them themselves.Jiang Yuan looked at the bare bed, frowned and said, "Why don't I make a quilt?"

Zhao Heng looked at the young Jiang Yuan in front of him, with a suspicious look on his face: "You know how to make bedding?"

Jiang Yuan stammered and said, "Well... know a little bit, although it doesn't look good, it's fine if it works, okay?"

His mother learned to sew.In the past, my mother always said that I can't do without learning needlework, and he doesn't know how to do needlework.

"Okay!" Unexpectedly, Brother Yuan could do needlework, Zhao Heng asked in surprise, "Brother Yuan, can you make clothes?"

"Do, make clothes?" Jiang Yuan was a little puzzled, who made the clothes for?

"Yes, making clothes." Zhao Heng touched his ears when he talked about it, and said to Jiang Yuan: "I bought some fabrics a few days ago, but I don't know how to make clothes, and ready-made clothes are too expensive. I don't want to spend the money." , I originally thought about learning to make clothes by myself, but I didn’t expect to have no time.”

"Yes! I, I'll make you a dress."

In fact, after saying this, Jiang Yuan still had some doubts in his heart, because he could only do some very simple needlework, and he didn't know how to make clothes at all.

But it shouldn't be too difficult to come to needlework. Since Hui can go hunting in the mountains with a knife, he can definitely use this needlework to make clothes!

The two checked all kinds of things carefully in the room and everything was clear, now let's go shopping! "

Jiang Yuan nodded, and he also took a look at the bustling Queqiao Street. I had never been here before. "

"Then I'll play with you this time!" Zhao Heng smiled and patted the top of Jiang Yuan's head, touching the soft hair in his hand, Zhao Heng couldn't help feeling a little excited.

It's a pity that before he took his hand off his head: "Let's go."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards the door, ignoring Zhao Heng.He, the two of them just walked into the lobby room at this time.

Zhao Heng caught up to his shoulder, let go immediately, and said with a smile, "Brother Yuan, what are you doing walking so fast!"

Jiang Yuan lowered his head and ignored him, saying: "Do you remember what to buy? Let's go quickly. We have to open a cellar to put pears when we come back later."

They will set off within the agreed time to deliver, but they don't know how much time will be lost on the way, so they don't panic at all right now.

But Zhao Heng didn't say anything, he only quickened his pace to keep up with Jiang Yuan.After locking the door, neither of them was familiar with this place, so they didn't know where to buy those sundries.

Putting these things aside for the time being, Zhao Heng decided to go to the fabric store first. The fabric he bought last time was only for making clothes, and there was also a set of bedding for his own home.

If it is used in the store, they have to buy it again.Both bedrooms in the store must have bedding, otherwise if the business is busy in the future, go back.

Although Brother Yuan said that as long as his things can be used, he doesn't need to weave those fancy patterns.

Taking Jiang Yuan to go, he and Jiang Yuan were choosing the color of the cloth together.Although there is no need to embroider on it, the color of the quilt should not be that gray.

After choosing for a long time, the two finally selected two pieces of fabric. Zhao Heng asked Xiaoer to help cut them: "Xiaoer! Brother Xiaoer, we want these two kinds of fabrics, half a piece each. Please go and cut them." gone."

"No trouble, no trouble!" Xiao Er sold so much fabric at once, the shopkeeper would definitely go to the back room for them to cut with a smile on his face.
