I sold snacks in ancient times

This spring is hotter than previous years, especially at noon, the big sun above the head seems to be sweating, which makes people restless for no reason.

Qi Yongfan walked to the small courtyard of Yin's family, the door was unlocked, he stepped over the threshold covered with weeds, and saw a figure sitting under the eaves.

The tall white-walled and black-tiled houses cast a cool shadow, and the sky is so blue that it looks like a vast ocean.Yin Xu was wearing a light blue gown, half leaning on a wooden recliner, with a book next to his face, as if he was fast asleep.

Ye Zi squatted on a grassy field not far away, where a bamboo mat was spread.He was taking out the paper books in the bamboo basket one by one to expose to the sun.There are not many books, only seven or eight in total, but he takes care of them very carefully. When turning the pages, his pious movements seem to be holding unknown treasures.

Qi Yongfan couldn't bear to break this moment of tranquility, walked over lightly, handed a cup of iced milk tea to Ye Zi, and whispered: "Are you drying your books?"

"Yeah!" Ye Zi took a sip happily, and the icy sweet taste penetrated into his heart, "Young master said, the sun is good today, and it is time to publish the books. These books have been staying in the house for a whole winter, and I am afraid that the rainy season will spoil them a while ago." gone."

Qi Yongfan thought to himself, Yin Xu really has a taste for elegance.He turned his head and glanced at the man who was taking a nap. The yellow and white book pages covered half of his face, revealing a straight nose bridge. His long eyelashes were like wings, which were still clearly visible even after a little distance.

There is a small wooden table next to the deck chair, with fruit and water on it.Qi Yongfan put the milk tea on the table, he thought his movements were light enough, but he still woke up the other party unexpectedly.

The book slid off his face, hanging between the loose skirts of his shirt.Yin Xu looked at it in a daze, squinted his eyes, and said, "Brother Qi?"

"Well, it's me." Qi Yongfan agreed.

"I thought it was a dream." Yin Xu smiled, glanced at the cup of milk tea, and said, "Give it to me?"

"It's ice, drink it and see."

Yin Xu took a sip, "It's really good, but it's too sweet."

"I'll put less sugar next time."

After drinking the milk tea, Qi Yongfan went back to the car to cook lunch.Since coming to ancient times, his culinary skills have skyrocketed like a rocket.In addition, there are recipes on the tablet for reference, and he found that he has gained a few pounds.

Modern life is indeed convenient and fast, but it is not good if the pace is too fast.When he came to Dayin's countryside, he learned to live in peace and cook some delicious food to reward himself.

Made three dishes and one soup, divided into two portions.One was sent to the neighbor and the other was kept for myself.

After lunch, I can't take a nap yet.He took the broom and dustpan and went outside the RV to clean up.

Although the house was bought by him, the decoration still maintains the original dilapidated scene.No one has lived there for a long time, and cobwebs and dust have accumulated together, which inevitably arouses doubts.

Qi Yongfan thought that since he was free, he might as well clean the house.After taking a nap in the afternoon, I went to the market to buy some furniture items to add to my popularity.

But Qi Yongfan overestimated himself.Except for cleaning the class in junior high school, he almost never touched the broom again.There is a special cheap sweeping robot in the RV, a regular vacuuming system, and the hygiene is in good condition, so there is no need for him to clean it manually.

After a while, Qi Yongfan felt back pain.He simply caught the sweeping robot in the car to help.

It's been a busy afternoon.The dilapidated houses look like a new one.The landlord's aunt had calculated the wood used in the first place so that it would not be attacked by insects.If the ancient houses were made of poor wood, they would collapse in a few years.

A neat wooden house with brown rubble on the roof. After a spring rain, lush green grass sprouted from the dirt floor of the small courtyard.

For the sake of convenience, Qi Yongfan changed into overalls and a sweatshirt and came out to clean up.He wiped the sweat from his forehead, the sun shining on the farmhouse in front of him, it was like a dreamy picture of a paradise.

The sweat vest outlines his strong muscles and body curves.

He let out a long sigh of satisfaction, thinking that the fruits of his labor after a busy afternoon were not bad.

He went back to the car, took a shower, changed into an ancient-style robe, took some snacks to rest, and then took the money to go shopping.

the sun is big.In the warm and smoky afternoon, he walked through the long and gloomy alley, as if the willows were dark and the flowers were bright, he walked onto the flat path intertwined with rice paddies.

The woman was washing clothes by the river port, and the colorful butterflies flew in the air, and finally landed on the grass nest by the roadside, and took a soft nap.Barefooted little kids are running around, playing childish games like house.

Qi Yongfan passed by this area, stepped across the bridge, and came to the lively market.There is no so-called furniture store in Nanshan Town, or in Dayin, there is no such store at all.If someone lacks a bed or a wardrobe, they have to find a carpenter to make it, which can be regarded as a low-profile version of private customization.

Qi Yongfan found the carpenter's shop familiarly, and ordered a set of pear blossom solid wood wardrobe, bed, table and chairs, and various items that may be used at home.

When he was doing everything, he even had a sudden illusion of making a home here.

The carpenter finally gave him a very cheap price.Qi Yongfan paid the money and went out to wander around in the street.Unknowingly, he walked to Xia Xing Tavern again.

The Longyou Tavern opposite the door has no business.The door of the store is closed, and there is no waiter, it is deserted and miserable.Wang Kui was squatting on the side of the road, holding a bowl of food, and was feasting.

Qi Yongfan took a closer look, hey, he was eating his instant noodles.

"Brother Qi." Wang Kui greeted him with a smile, swallowed the food in his mouth reluctantly, "It's rare to see you come to the store in the afternoon, why didn't you go fishing?"

Qi Yongfan replied: "Come to the street to buy something."

After eating the noodles, Wang Kui put the bowl on the ground, patted the dust off his clothes, stood up and said, "Would you like to go to Longyou for a sit?"

Qi Yongfan hesitated for a while, and was about to decline politely, when Wang Kui said with a smile: "Come on, it's not a scary place. I'll treat you to a big plate of stewed pork, and talk to you about business by the way."

Qi Yongfan thought he had some business to discuss with Wang Kui, but he couldn't persuade the other party after all, so he had to half-pull and enter Longyou Tavern.

There was only one waiter in the store, who was dozing off on the table.Wang Kui knocked him on the head, and said, "Let the back chef make a plate of stewed pork, and bring a pot of good tea."

Xiao Er shivered and rushed into the kitchen.

Wang Kui took him up to the second floor, and the two sat facing each other by the window.

Qi Yongfan coughed and said, "What business do you want to talk to me about?"

Wang Kui still had that perverted virtue on his face, he didn't rush to answer, but asked unhurriedly: "Brother Qi, have you ever been to Yuechuan County?"

Qi Yongfan shook his head.He would have liked to, but dared not.

"My family is in Yuechuan County, which is much more prosperous than Nanshan Town. The restaurant opened there is making money every day. At night, the street is still brightly lit, with fireworks and willow lanes, and singing every night..." Wang Kui recalled Said: "Besides, as long as you have money, you don't have to worry about conscription and corvee, you can be comfortable."

"Then why don't you go back?" Qi Yongfan asked.

Wang Kui shrugged his shoulders, "But I can't go back. I have five older brothers, and everyone wants to divide up all of Daddy's property. If you drive me out as soon as possible, you can get more money."

"Uh..." Qi Yongfan scratched his head, "What does this have to do with me?"

The bloody sunset glow fell on Wang Kui's face, burning coldly, and his usual smiling face was completely different.At this moment, Qi Yongfan clearly saw the deep ambition in his eyes.

"I want to ask Brother Qi to cooperate with me to open restaurants all over Yuechuan County...even Dayin. Of course, I don't care about Longyou Tavern. What I fancy is you and the suppliers behind you."

Qi Yongfan was startled, only to hear the other party continue to say vigorously: "So I want to join Xia Xing Tavern!"

"You are an ignorant son, why should I believe that you have the potential to cooperate?" Qi Yongfan said flatly.

Wang Kui proudly said: "You don't understand the entangled forces in the county seat. If you opened your store in Yuechuan County, you may be shut down by your competitors if you fail to pass. What's more, you didn't open up The branch should also have considered the war between Dayin and Goryeo, right?"

Qi Yongfan: "Yes."

Wang Kui said firmly: "Even if war breaks out, I can guarantee that our business will not be affected in any way."

Qi Yongfan was indeed a little moved.But this does not mean that he believes Wang Kui's nonsense, but because he is not suitable to appear in front of the world as a businessman.

Qi Yong is a number one scholar, and he must have had many classmates when he took the county exam.If he went to Yuechuan County to open a branch in person, he would be arrested and imprisoned in a few days.

You must know that the arrest warrant is still hanging at the gate of Nanshan Town Yafu.

Another ticking time bomb is Qi Yong's family, the Qi clan.They originally settled down in Nanshan Town, but because of Qi Yong's disappearance the year before last, they had to move to the countryside.

Qi Yongfan has inquired that the village where the Qi family lives is far away from Nanshan Town, so he is not worried about meeting them for a while.

After thinking for a moment, Qi Yongfan said: "Okay, I agree to cooperate with you."

Wang Kui was a little surprised, he didn't expect to be able to convince the other party with a few words.The long speeches that were originally prepared are useless now.He was a little excited, but also a little eager, and he wanted to discuss the share of the cooperation with Qi Yongfan...

Unexpectedly, Qi Yongfan changed the subject and said slowly: "However, our cooperation will be carried out in the form of employment."

"Employment form?" Wang Kui was at a loss.

Qi Yongfan: "I am the boss, but your employees, that is, the shopkeeper. No matter how many branches you open, you will not get a share, but only a monthly salary."

Wang Kui was furious, "You are too deceitful!"

It's a pity that he met a profiteer who is well versed in modern capitalism. Qi Yongfan smiled inscrutablely, and said indifferently: "If you don't want to, then let it go."

How could Wang Kui give up.He wanted to cooperate with Xia Xing Tavern, not for money.In fact, as one of the sons of Longyou merchants, he will not be short of money.

He just wants to prove himself.He wants to let his superior father and brother see that he is not a waste!

So he decided to join the Xia Xing Tavern, in another way, to make his father and brother unmatched!

He knew very well that with the potential of Xia Xing Tavern, it only took time to surpass Longyou Tavern.

At this moment, Qi Yongfan said again: "Actually, if you are willing, in the eyes of everyone, you are the owner of Xiaxing Tavern."
