I opened a mall in ancient times

Chapter 8 The First Day of Store Opening

what?

Kansai didn't expect to hear such an answer.

It seems that I just went back to sleep, why did things suddenly become like this?

"Then what's going on now?"

"It seems that the boss recruited officers and soldiers to arrest him." The man said, "It seems that there is no loss."

That's good.

Kansai breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly walked towards Luo Chaoxi, and saw Luo Chaoxi being surrounded by some aunts asking questions. When Luo Chaoxi saw Guanxi coming, he immediately called people in as if he had seen a savior, and then closed the door. Shut out those who gossip.

"I like gossip too much." Luo Chaoxi took a sip of water, feeling a little disgusted by the growing hair.

Kansai glanced at Luo Chaochao's new look, and didn't ask any further questions, but asked curiously: "I heard that you have been robbed?"

Luo Chaoxi talked about what happened last night, Kansai listened interestingly, and immediately burst out laughing: "This is also very good, when I came here, I heard many people said that they wanted to come to your place to eat and see if they could be accepted by you." How delicious is the meat that the thief patronizes, you must be exhausted at night."

"Yeah, barely a good thing, but Brother Guan, do you know that Rongji Restaurant?"

"I know." Luo Chaoxi asked, and Kansai got something.

They are traveling merchants, and they really dare not walk on the road if they are not careful. When Luo Chaochao mentioned this, he guessed that Luo Chaochao said that it might be related to that Rongji restaurant.

"You mean?"

"Just a little skeptical."

"...You say that, I have something to tell you, that Boss Rong has a good relationship with the people from the Kangzhou Chamber of Commerce, and recently those people from the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce are throwing away valuables, saying that they are going to welcome you A big man."

"What does that have to do with me?"

"That big man likes to eat."

"Did you see something of mine?"

"Well, the president of the chamber of commerce wants to ask you about the formula. He knows that I have communicated with you, so he asked me to ask."

Want to buy it?

The price is not cheap.

Orleans marinade is the seasoning of later generations. The seasoning used in it is cheap in later generations, but it is extremely expensive now.

For example, the pepper in it can be bought in any supermarket in modern times, and it can be used for a long time for a hundred yuan a catty, but now, pepper can be used as gold, and a catty of pepper costs about 20 taels of silver , if it is the season of pepper production, it is cheaper, it can be around 15 taels.

But now mutton is about [-] yuan per catty, and a whole chicken is [-] yuan per catty. If it is in the wings, it is about [-] yuan per catty, and it is about [-] yuan per catty.

From this point of view, Luo Chaochao’s previous pricing seems to have made a lot of money, but in fact, after excluding raw materials and labor costs, Luo Chaochao’s profit is only less than a quarter, which is not the sauce.

In the eyes of these people, mutton and chicken wings are not as valuable as the sauce on them.

Perhaps in the eyes of some wealthy people, Luo Chaochao's use of such expensive sauces on mutton and chicken wings is a reckless waste, and they should be well preserved and used as money for future use.

But what's the point if you don't eat the spices!

Luo Chaochao is the thinking of modern people, and he is very willing to spend money on food. This kind of thinking may be called shocking to the ancients, but to Luo Chaochao, it is just a daily routine.

So if Luo Chaochao really wants to sell, it depends on the other party's price.

Guan Xi's expression was a bit ugly, and he said: "He means that everyone makes money together, and it's for the big shots, and it's for the honor of Kangzhou City."

It means that you don't want to give money.

Not to mention Luo Chaochao, even the irrelevant person like Kansai, wanted to scold him for being so shameless!

This is something that people live and work on now. Besides, those guys in Kangzhou City are not good things that follow the rules. Things that are taken away by them will be taken away directly, and the original people will not even be allowed to use them.

It's just so overbearing and disgusting.

Luo Chaochao smiled instead of anger.

"So Wang Erlai is related to them?"

Almost certain.

"It's a beautiful idea." Luo Chaoxi had a bright smile on his face, "They think I will agree?"

"I don't know about that." Kansai said that he hadn't paid attention to this, and that's all he could say.

They think that Luo Chaoxi is an orphan who is easy to bully, and they think it is easy to handle, even if they really do this, no one will show Luo Chaoxi?

Then they made a wrong calculation.

In their eyes, Wang Erlai is an abandoned child who can be discarded at any time, but in the eyes of Luo Chaoxi, this is the key to turning the tables.

Wang Erlai's current situation is not very good.

He has been thinking about Luo Chaochao since he was sent to the prison last night, but he is not a good person himself and likes to show bad things, but he still has some scruples about Luo Chaochao.

That person didn't look like an ordinary little boss at all, instead he looked like a son of a rich family, and he even took out the talisman paper.

Yellow talisman paper.

At that time, the talisman was absorbed by him, but his body was fine, so he didn't take it to heart.

But when Wang Erlai fell asleep, he realized that he was wrong.

He is dreaming.

Wang Erlai has never been a fun kid since he was a child, and he can't even remember the bad things he has done, but he repeated it once in his sleep.

It's just that in the dream he would be arrested every time he did something bad, and some people who were not caught in reality were also arrested, each time getting heavier.

He remembered that his old father had spent all the money to marry him, and that his wife committed suicide by jumping into the river because of gambling, and those who had stolen money from him couldn't bear to come back to him after death.

Those ghosts haunted me all the time, questioning why I did this, and only when I went to the prison could I get a moment of peace.

Unfortunately, he was called up early in the morning.

Wang Erlai was a little dazed.

Looking at the dim scene in the prison, he remembered what happened in his dream.

He quickly shouted: "Is there anyone?! Is there anyone! I want to confess!!! I want to confess!!!"

The yamen servant outside came in cursing, and knocked on the wooden door with the scabbard in his hand: "What's the matter, what's the matter! What are you arguing about!"

Wang Erlai grabbed the corner of the yamen servant's clothes through the railing, with a crazy expression: "I'll recruit them all! I'll recruit them all!"

Seeing that Luo Chaochao was confident, Kansai couldn't say much, so he changed the subject.

"The brothers are going to pull other goods today, and they won't be able to come here until evening."

"Then put it on the second floor first, or the warehouse in the backyard, but it's not cleaned up there, it's full of dust."

"It's fine, whatever it is." Kansai didn't care.

Kansai and Luo Chaochao moved things together, one by one, and then sat down.

Luo Chaochao brought two glasses of Feizhai Happy Water with ice cubes and put it in front of Kanxi, beckoning him to try it.

"What's this?" Kansai asked.

"Coke, the drink to be served at night." Luo Chaochao also took a sip.

Drinking iced cola in summer is simply a great enjoyment in life!

Kansai smelled it, and could only smell a little bit of traditional Chinese medicine, but it was also a little sweet, and the taste was very strange.

Out of trust in Luo Chao Chao, Kansai took a sip.

First there is a faint pungent taste, then a sweet taste, and a taste that jumps on the tip of the tongue, like an explosion. The faint taste of traditional Chinese medicine disappears quickly, followed by a refreshing Refreshing fragrance.

This is a taste they have never tried before.

The first sip was weird, the second sip was addictive, and the third sip was captured by this wonderful taste.

Frankly speaking, this taste is really strange, but I can't help but want to drink it. After a few more sips, I will feel how good this taste is.

Especially the ice inside.

Ice is also a rare thing these days. At least one-third of this glass has been added. The taste of this strange drink is mixed with the coolness of the ice cubes.

"This item will definitely sell well." Kansai said, "Can this item be sold?"

"It can be, but you have to know that things like ice cubes are not easy to preserve, and Coke without ice cubes doesn't taste as good as it does now."

Luo Chaochao is used to adding ice to fat house happy water. He thinks this tastes the best and is the most exciting to drink, but the ancient people are different. Maybe they like it without ice?

Luo Chaochao gave Kansai another glass of coke at room temperature.

Coke at normal temperature is also good, but Kansai always feels like something is missing. The taste is still the same, but there is something missing, and the cola at room temperature will be sweeter.

Oil and sugar in ancient times are the things that bring happiness the most. Luo Chaochao’s grilled skewers take up oil, and Coke takes up sugar.

As long as you can overcome the unknown, you will be able to sell well.

Take your time, there is no rush.

Kansai tasted Coke: "How much do you want to sell for a bottle?"

"Twenty Wen a bottle."

"It's not bad, how about adding ice?"

“Eat at the booth with free ice.”

The ice at this time may be really expensive, but for Luo Chaochao, it is as simple as freezing water into ice cubes. Of course, this is also a benefit that can only be obtained in the store. If it is just for buying ice?

That's impossible.

"Is it also a new product special offer?"

"That's not true, this has always been the price." Luo Chaoxi said, and he stood up, "I'll go and put your goods in the back, and wait for you to take them away at night. Putting them in the front is a bit of a hindrance."

"it is good."

Taking advantage of this moment, Kansai picked up the menu that Luo Chaochao put aside.

There are mutton skewers and pork skewers, chicken wings, some ham sausages, grilled gluten, vegetables, and steamed buns and bread slices. There is not much beef. After all, this thing is expensive and now the cattle that are sold are sick or old. The taste is relatively good. generally.

In addition to the Orleans-flavored barbecue, Luo Chaochao also used the recipe that everyone is most used to. You can also buy finished barbecue ingredients in the mall. A whole large box is kept in the kitchen, and the fresh ingredients are chilled with ice cubes. Don't worry about spoiling quickly in summer.

Musa also came.

The relationship between Musa and Luo Chaochao was okay. When Luo Chaochao came out from behind, Musa had already rolled up his sleeves, took out the cutting board and the scimitar at his waist, and was eager to try the big pots of meat that Luo Chaochao brought out.

"Just as big as yesterday's." Luo Chao said to Musa, "For vegetables, there are four in a bunch, two slices of bread and one piece of bamboo sticks, and slices of steamed buns are also two sticks, but you need two pieces."

Musa's comprehension ability is very good. I don't know if it is because of martial arts training. He is familiar with cutting meat, and he can divide the meat into small portions equally, and the shape is very beautiful.

Guan Xi watched Luo Chao Chao make preparations for the evening, and found pork in these pots of meat.

"Pork...does anyone want to eat it?"

"The pork has been processed so it won't smell bad." Luo Chaochao said, "But it's cheap, and there shouldn't be very few people eating it."

Rich people eat mutton or beef. At this time, the pork is eaten by people with average families. The pigs that have been squatted are more delicious, which is what Luo Chaochao exchanged from the system.

These meats are almost all exchanged from the system, and the price is not expensive. The more expensive things in this plane are the things with more technological content, especially the blueprints of science and technology. The tide is too expensive to watch.

But if it is in the modern plane, this kind of thing is probably cheaper, and many things are printed in textbooks.

Musa moved very quickly. After cutting the three large pots of meat, Luo Chaochao brought several small pots, which contained red and brown seasonings, and other kinds of finely divided powders that could not be identified as seasonings. .

"Is this...the spice from the Western Regions?"

Musa also pinched a little bit and tasted it, his face wrinkled from the pungent taste.

"What does it smell like?"

"Is this salt? It's so fine! It doesn't have a strange smell, so what are these particles?" Kansai also took a look at the white pot of salt, and was also interested in the chicken essence on the side.

"After buying it, it has been roughly processed, otherwise it can't be used."

Kansai thinks that Luo Chaochao is really a person who likes to surprise others. Putting these things outside casually can cause people to loot them, but Luo Chaochao just took them out in front of them so carelessly.

It seems that he is not afraid of showing his wealth and being targeted by others.

That is to say, I am an honest gentleman, otherwise I would really be tempted to see these things, and if I get a little distracted, Luo Chaoxi, a powerless little guy, won't be able to hold back.

Luo Chaochao's side was making preparations before opening the door step by step, and Rongji Restaurant was also very peaceful.

The owner of Rongji Restaurant hummed a little tune and came down from upstairs to see what the waiter in his shop was doing.

The working hours in their restaurant are very long, they wake up earlier than chickens and go to bed later than dogs, and their wages are not much, and the boss, Boss Rong, is not a good person.

As long as he comes to the store, he will definitely get angry when he sees that the employees are not working, and then find various reasons to deduct their wages, and if the employee must resign, then the resigned employee will definitely be deducted by Boss Rong Lose that month's wages.

This time too.

As soon as Boss Rong came downstairs, he saw that the newly recruited worker was standing at the door without cleaning the table, not knowing what to do. Kicked the extraordinarily thin little boy to the ground.

"Banan, I paid you to work, not to watch the scenery!"

The child was very thin, wearing clean but patched linen clothes, exposed ankles and wrists with deep and shallow wounds that hadn't healed, and even some scars on his neck and cheeks. There are traces of cyanosis.

These are all scars left over from years and years. His family has no money and has not dealt with them. After a long time, they will not disappear completely. It is a bit scary to be exposed outside, and they can't even find a job.

He would stay and work here only because the owner of this store was the only one who didn't despise the scary injuries on his body, even though he paid himself only half of the salary of others.

Even if he will always be treated unfairly.

"I'm sorry boss, I'll go to work now."

It was clear that he was just sending the guests to the door, but in the eyes of the boss, he became lazy and slippery.

Banan didn't make an excuse either, because the excuse was useless and would only provoke more disgust and wage deductions.

He silently got up and continued to work, but Boss Rong's kick just now made his leg bones ache faintly, he was limping when he walked, and his waist was also hurting, so he didn't dare to look up to see the boss's expression now. He just felt that if he didn't find any more work, the boss would find a reason to fire him. At that time, his grandfather and sister would be hungry again. He dared not express any opinion at all.

It is more important to be alive, Banan wiped the table with a rag, trying not to let tears flow from his eyes.

Because crying is seen by the boss, money will also be deducted.

Banan was cleaning, but a man came in at the door. Banan thought he looked familiar, but now he didn't care about Banan at all, and went directly to the second floor to find Boss Rong.

He didn't want to go upstairs, but another waiter who came down from the second floor stuffed the rag into his hand: "Please, wipe it for me, my stomach hurts, I'll give you two coins later Is money okay!"

Two pennies?

Banan nodded. Enduring the pain, he went to the second floor, knelt on the ground and wiped the wooden floor. He wanted to hurry up and leave from the boss's room, but he heard the conversation inside.

He subconsciously lowered his movements, and the sound from the room still reached his ears.

"Wang Erlai has been arrested."

"If you catch him, you will catch him. Anyway, he will be fished out in a few days. Didn't he talk about drugging?"

"I didn't say anything when I was arrested last night."

"What about Luo Chao, he was released, did you take the medicine?"

"It's not clear."

Banan opened his eyes wide, and realized that he heard something terrible, but he tried his best not to make a sound, and walked over carefully, starting to wipe from a further distance.

Sure enough, when Banan walked to the other side of the road, the man came out of the room.
