Farmer one or two things

When this group of people left, no one would come at noon. Even so, Chen Guizhi and Song Dashan were relieved.Don't look at just a group of people, but they are all tall and big men, and they are absolutely unambiguous when eating.Song Tiancai wiped off the odds for them, and also earned five hundred Wen. With just such a transaction, he made a lot of money when he opened today.

When it was time for Shen, a few pedestrians came scatteredly. They asked for tea and snacks, but they didn't ask for stewed vegetables and steamed buns.Finally, I also bought some pastries, tea eggs and fried hazelnuts, which seemed to be a little more elegant, and I didn't like those stewed vegetables.

As soon as the application time passed, Song Tiancai began to think about what was left to eat at the tea stand.The red bean soup is gone, there is still some mung bean soup left, and there are still eight or nine yuan left for white sugar cake and glutinous rice cake.The stewed vegetables were sold until there was only one pig intestine left. Song Dashan liked to eat it, so it would not be a waste to save it for him to drink.

However, a lot of salted peanuts were delivered today, but there is nothing left, but I can't make so many tomorrow.The tea eggs sold unexpectedly well, which made Song Tiancai think that he could still cook some salted duck eggs for sale, which should be good too.As for the roasted seeds and nuts, because there were few roasted seeds and nuts, they gave a lot to the children in the village in the morning, and Song Tiancai planned to ask Chen Guizhi to give some to acquaintances.Tomorrow, we can't speculate so much. If we really want to sell well, we can ask Song Dashan to set up a stove outside. The same goes for speculating and selling.

In the end, no one cares about the pickled plums that Song Tiancai pickled, but this thing can be stored, so Song Tiancai just uses it as a backup.The selling price is a little bit high, and I don't expect these merchants who are in a hurry to buy and eat.

Song Tiancai thinks that tomorrow Song Dashan can go up the mountain to pick some pears, sand fruits, persimmons, dates and other wild fruits and come back.Sell ​​them directly at the tea stalls. These wild fruits taste good and can be eaten fresh. I believe that the merchants who come and go can ask for some to take with them on the road.

After taking inventory, Song Tiancai was ready to close the stall.Unexpectedly, at this time, a few women from the village came outside the door, and they seemed to be familiar with Chen Guizhi.Chen Guizhi invited them in, only to find out after asking, it was the children of the family who ate the food here in the morning and thought it was delicious, so they pestered them to buy some back.

These women's families are considered well-to-do, and they were troubled by the children at home, so they made an appointment together after thinking about it, planning to wait until the next night, when Song Tiancai's tea stall closed down, it would be cheaper.Song Tiancai also lived up to their expectations, bought one dim sum with them, got one free, and gave them a few handfuls of chestnuts and hazelnuts, with a [-]% discount on others.

In the end, the remaining white sugar cakes and glutinous rice cakes were rounded up by these women.Song Tiancai also told them that at this time in the future, the cakes will be at this price, so that they can come at this time if they want to buy it, which is cheap and affordable.If there are meat and vegetables left over, it will be cheaper for them to buy them.

After seeing off the villagers, Chen Guizhi said to Song Tiancai from the side: "Tiancai, the white sugar cake costs three Wen a piece, and the glutinous rice cake costs four Wen a piece. If you buy them one and get one free, we won't earn any money." Yes. They also know in their hearts, otherwise, they won’t be all round. You will always be at this price in the future, and we will lose money.”

Song Tiancai smiled and said: "Mother, it's best not to stay overnight for things like pastries. At this time, they are all leftovers from the stalls, and they will not be fresh when they are sold tomorrow. The most important thing in the food business is conscience. People who eat well Only then can I become a repeat customer. I sell the rest to the villagers, which can be regarded as some discounts for the villagers. There are many people in the village who envy our family for doing this business, and selling some good ones to the villagers can also stop those people. Mouth. In the future, if you see someone’s children playing by the tea stand, you will give them roasted seeds and nuts. The parents and elders of the children, if they know about it, they can forget about our love. To do business, we need to make friends. Good fate, and it doesn’t cost a lot of money, they all grow on the mountain. Just like the pastries just now, they can only be given away or eaten by themselves, but sold to them at a low price, and let the village know our goodness. People will know that our family does not leave overnight food. The reputation will spread, and besides, the cakes are still profitable, at least not losing money."

When Chen Guizhi was told by Song Tiancai, his heart brightened, and he didn't worry about the loss of his family, so he hurriedly packed his things.After such a busy work, it was already dark when I got home and had a meal.Chen Guizhi asked Song Dashan to take a bullock cart to the town this afternoon to buy two pig heads and other trotters, pig hearts, and pig intestines.

These lo mei sold well today, which greatly boosted Chen Guizhi's confidence, and he planned to add another pig's head to sell tomorrow.And Song Tiancai asked Song Dashan to go to shopkeeper Du, talk about the duck miscellaneous, and asked Song Dashan to bring back some duck oil.Looking at the sales situation today, Song Tiancai found that they have to make some pasta that can withstand hunger and storage in order to sell well.

These merchants are all on their way, and those who can't let go, I'm afraid they don't buy much.There is also the need for strength to travel, and it is best to eat salty food to meet the requirements of these people.Therefore, Song Tiancai thought of butter pancakes and plum pancakes. The taste is not to mention, and it is no problem to wrap them for two or three days.

Butter is actually duck fat. Using duck fat to make biscuits is a little secret, just like putting some lard in glutinous rice balls stuffed with sesame seeds.It can make the original food different and delicious.This is a special product of a certain place that he ate on a business trip, and he thought it was good when he came back, so he specially invited the cook back to cook it for him, and only then did he know a little bit.

Song Dashan bought half a basket of duck fat for ten big bucks, and Chen Guizhi boiled it out.Only then did Song Tiancai remember that no one in the family knew how to make biscuits, and then the three adults of the Song family stared dumbfounded.

Unable to do it, Song Tiancai had to let it go and help Chen Guizhi to cook the pork head meat and other stewed vegetables first.When everything was done, Song Tiancai asked Chen Guizhi and Song Dashan to sit down, pour out the copper coins collected today, and calculate today's income together.

All in all, I got 580 coins. After deducting the cost, there are still 330 coins left, which also includes the cost of the things Song Tiancai sent.On the first day of today, there was a lot more wastage, and the food for sale was not prepared enough, so the cost of money earned was higher.

However, even so, Song Dashan and Chen Guizhi are very happy. They can earn more than 300 taels a day, ten taels of silver in a month, and a hundred taels of silver in a year. Little family business.

Touching the copper coins, Chen Guizhi smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth and said, "I thought we would not be able to get back the capital we spent in a year or two. I didn't expect that if we continue like this, we will get back the capital in half a year."

Song Dashan was also happy, but he still asked: "Tiancai, our family's business and your status as a scholar are not hindered. In the future, it will not affect our little treasure's study in the imperial examination, right?"

Song Tiancai gave up, and said to Song Dashan: "It's okay, the imperial concubine and Zu Shengming did not suppress the children of merchants from studying. It's just that the taxes are heavier. As far as I know, those Juren and Jinshi's families also I have relatives who do business. The imperial court doesn’t care about it. I’m just a scholar. Our tea stall is under my mother’s name. This court has legal protection for the dowry of the main wife. Speaking of which, we are all helping my mother. Our family pays taxes the same as other families, but we don’t need to change our business registration.”

In fact, Song Tiancai didn't mind being a merchant, since the imperial examinations for the children of merchants were not prohibited here anyway.But he has the status of a scholar, and Song Dashan and Chen Guizhi always think that his status as a farmer is higher than that of a merchant.Song Tiancai didn't want to go against the old man's mind after thinking about it, so he chose the property protection of the wife's wife in the regulations of this dynasty, and turned the tea stall into Chen Guizhi's. That way, the tax can be paid less, and the household registration can not be changed. Soothe the hearts of the two elders.

Song Tiancai felt that the Great Qin Tai and Zu were very interesting people. He and his mother must have suffered from many concubines and concubines when they were young. There are natural advantages in the future of being an official and social status.

The main wife is also drawn out rules and regulations to protect her own rights and interests. For example, the dowry has ownership and control, and the husband's family must never use it in private.Of course, the wife's property belongs to him, which is what Song Tiancai found.Putting the tea stall directly under Chen Guizhi's name would not have any impact on the Song family, because it was a roadside stall run by a small business, so it could not be registered, and even taxes could be evaded.

However, Song Tiancai thought he was a law-abiding Daqin citizen, so he went to the Yamen to sign a contract, because it was a small business with less than 20 taels of tea and water assets, and it was enough to pay two taels of silver every year.Calculated in this way, I have to pay five or six Wen in taxes every day.Song Tiancai is very proud of his decision, because if it is classified as a merchant, the tax paid every year will be doubled.

After finishing the calculation, Chen Guizhi asked Song Tiancai to collect the money. Her meaning was very clear.The tea stand started from buying land, and Song Tiancai never took a piece of money from his family. After working so hard to earn money, Song Tiancai naturally had to save it for himself.In fact, he was also afraid that Song Dashan's brain would go into a twitch, and he would waste her son's money together with good intentions.

Chen Guizhi knew that Song Dashan had a good face and his son earned the money, so he wouldn't spend it lavishly, let alone ask his son for money.Anyway, she earns money for her sons and grandchildren, and she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing at home. Song Tiancai often gives her pocket money, and she really doesn't want to care about it.

Song Tiancai didn't have much money on him, so he planned to manage the accounts by himself, save some money and go to Quanzhou to see if he could do some business.So, he didn't refuse, but he still gave Chen Guizhi one hundred coins to keep, and asked Chen Guizhi to give Song Dashan ten coins every day as pocket money.

No matter how much Chen Guizhi felt sorry for the money, he would not refuse his son's words, so he had to give Song Dashan ten cents every day, and every time he would grab Song Dashan and nag him for a while, telling him not to spend money randomly.Of course, the business of the tea shop will get better and better in the future, and Chen Guizhi feels happy, so he doesn't talk anymore.

Half a month after the tea stand opened, a large team of hundreds of people ushered in. I heard that Song Ji tea shop was good from other caravans, so I brought the team over to have a rest.Song Tiancai saw that this was a big deal, so he came out to greet him. Fortunately, there were three or four spare tables and matching chairs in the old house.

Song Dashan hurried to find Song Dahai and brought two sets of tables and chairs to be enough. Thanks to the sunny day, they could just put them outside the tea stand.There are two catties of pork head meat on the table, and it is not enough to serve all the stewed vegetables on the table, so we have to add salted salted peanuts and salted duck eggs to make up.Chen Guizhi saw that it was too late to steam the steamed buns, so he hurriedly washed the rice and cooked it with boiling water.When the rice is ready, put some stewed soup on each bowl of rice, and give each person a bowl of winter melon bone soup to entertain the group of people.

Because there were not enough dishes and steamed buns, Song Tiancai gave each table a plate of white sugar cakes, a plate of fried mountain products, and a plate of ten tea eggs.The steaming white rice is served with a little braised meat, a bowl of soup and salted duck eggs, and everyone who eats it says it's delicious.

In the end, the leader saw that Song Tiancai had a lot of things and was easy to talk about, so he mentioned a few words to Song Tiancai. There are still two or three months until the end of the year, and there will probably be more businessmen coming and going on this official road.Song Tiancai's heart was clear, and he gave them some food.

On that day, Song Tiancai earned more than one or two taels of silver.Seeing that the business was getting better and better, Song Dashan and Chen Guizhi were too busy to stop, so Song Xiaobao ignored it.When Song Xiaobao was almost scalded by the hot soup at home, although it was nothing serious, looking at the tearful Song Xiaobao, everyone in the Song family woke up from the joy of making money.

Song Xiaobao is only over two years old. Although he is usually good, men are always mischievous.While the adults were not paying attention, I climbed onto the table and picked up the bowl to see what was delicious in the bowl.As a result, the bowl was overturned, and the hot soup inside poured down, dripping on Song Xiaobao's lap.Song Tiancai was the first to discover it. At that time, he washed it with cold water, and asked Chen Guizhi to fry the egg oil, and wiped it on Song Xiaobao's legs.

Although there was no blister or inflammation on his leg, it still made Song Xiaobao cry in pain and fright.

Song Tiancai heard Song Xiaobao cry, his own tears wanted to fall, and he felt very guilty.He himself has this old problem, and he got into it with all his heart when he started earning money.Song Xiaobao is only so old, this is because he was scalded by a bowl of hot soup, if he doesn't look at it next time, he doesn't know what will happen.He had to be thankful that Song Xiaobao was fine this time, otherwise, Song Tiancai broke into a cold sweat just thinking about it.

Chen Guizhi blamed himself very much. He felt that he had not taken good care of his grandson. Song Xiaobao had never experienced hardship since he was born. His legs were burned red and his eyes were full of tears. Looking at it, he pulled Chen Guizhi's heart.He hugged Song Xiaobao all day long and didn't let go, even thinking about finding a wife for Song Tiancai to take care of Song Xiaobao.This grandma is so incompetent that she can't get up to work all day long.

Finally, Song Tiancai persuaded her and decided to recruit people to help at the tea stand.
