I sold snacks in ancient times

On the country road, the dust is flying.The horse's hoofbeats were as dense as raindrops, dragging a wooden cart forward.The coachman whipped the horse's buttocks with a whip, and the horse let out a miserable scream and ran more and more eagerly.

There were five people sitting in the carriage, all dressed as country gentlemen.Wang Kui was also among them. He sat by the window and raised the curtain to look out from time to time.

"My lord, it's Nanshan Town in front of me." The coachman shouted back respectfully.

This carriage belonged to the Wang family, and when Wang Kui was sent back to the town, he picked up someone else by the way.He didn't mind this very much, and he responded listlessly, and drove most of the way, leaning listlessly on the constantly shaking wooden plank.

The young man sitting next to him asked tentatively: "My lord, did you come to Nanshan Town for the Longyou Tavern there?"

The other four people in the car were all from Nanshan Township and worked in Yuechuan County.Some are servants of the Wang family, and some are shopkeepers of the Wang family. This time, they took a ride back to their hometown to meet their fathers and folks.

They haven't been back home for almost half a year, and because the Wang family gave a lot of rewards, they didn't even go home during the Chinese New Year.

Wang Kui was lowering his head and fiddling with his nails, and responded casually.

The young man came to his senses and whispered: "The master said that he would transfer you to Nanshan Town, is it true?"

"Fake." Wang Kui glanced at him and warned, "Don't inquire about it if you have nothing to do."

The young man had no choice but to shut his mouth and remain silent.His name is Su Zhongyi, he is a clerk in the Wang family's pawn shop, and he once had a romantic relationship with Wang Kui.He also liked Long Yang's kindness, and he was so moved by Wang Kui's few words back then.

However, he didn't fit Wang Kui's eyes, and he was indeed somewhat handsome, but he had double phoenix eyes, the corners of which were upturned, and there was a slight natural charm.

Not long after, Wang Kui quickly abandoned him and found another new love.

In a sense, Wang Kui is a scumbag.

Not long after, the carriage arrived at Nanshan Town.Wang Kui jumped out of the car carrying a small wooden box and walked towards the market.

Su Zhongyi hurriedly grabbed him, his eyes didn't know where to turn, and he said indiscriminately, "Ah Kui, are you going to live with me?"

Wang Kui shook his hand and said coldly, "No, I have my own place."

He rented a house in Nanshan Town. Although it was not luxurious, it was enough for living.Since leaving Yuechuan County, he no longer pursued those frothy superficial extravagances.

After walking a few steps away, as if thinking of something, he turned his head and said, "Also, don't be so indifferent, I am no longer your Akui."

Su Zhongyi was stunned for a moment.In the warm and smoky spring, he was in his hometown, catkins were flying all over the sky, but his body was cold.

He whispered: "Yes, Young Master Wang."

Wang Kui nodded in satisfaction and left lightly.The luxurious satin clothes reflected dazzling light and shadow in the sun, Su Zhongyi stared at him blankly, and suddenly realized the gap between himself and the other party that could not be crossed in this life.

……

When Wang Kui returned home, he first counted the money.After going to Yuechuan County, he exchanged the gold bars given by Qi Yongfan into 800 taels of silver bills, and carried them in his pocket.

I have seen a lot of shops, and some of them are quite satisfactory.But he couldn't make up his mind, and thought it would be better to come back and ask Qi Yongfan.

Just in the morning, he came back by car before dawn, feeling hungry and gurgling loudly.

Wang Kui searched the house for a long time, but couldn't find even a scrap of food.At this time, he was annoyed at why he didn't buy a servant in the first place, so that he didn't even have someone to cook.

He had to go out and look for restaurants on the street.After a while, he walked into Xiaxing Tavern, nodded to the smiling woman, and said, "Here is a bowl of beef noodles, is your boss there?"

The woman drew a symbol on the paper with a charcoal pencil and said, "The boss will come later, do you want the noodles spicy or braised?"

"Braised in soy sauce." Wang Kui glanced at the menu on the wall, "Yo, there's also milk tea, serve me a cup too, I want taro flavor."

Wang Kui thought "fragrant taro" was taro. He had eaten stir-fried taro before and thought it was quite fragrant, but he didn't know what it would taste like when made into milk tea.

The woman responded, twisted her slender waist and left.Wang Kui remembered that her name was Qian Ping, she was fairly handsome, with a lot of spots on her face, and she was quite nimble in doing things in the shop.

Xiaxing Tavern hires almost all women, and it looks more convenient than hiring men.Women don't want to be lazy, and they cherish the opportunity to make money very much, and they can't wait to work with all their strength.

Wang Kui thought, it's not appropriate for his father to blindly favor boys over girls.Perhaps like Qi Yongfan, hiring more women will be more conducive to the long-term development of the tavern.

Soon noodles and milk tea were served.Wang Kui was so hungry that he ate all the noodles and even drank the noodle soup.After filling his stomach, he took a sip of the so-called milk tea, his complexion suddenly changed.

This soft and sweet taste... really surprised him!

Even though he was already full, he still drank a whole cup and bought another cup, nestling near the door, sipping and waiting for Qi Yongfan to come to the store.

The door is open, and the spring breeze is blowing.After drinking the warm milk tea, Wang Kui squinted his eyes comfortably.

I don't know how long I waited, but when Qi Yongfan came, he had already fallen asleep on the table.

Qi Yongfan carried boxes of snacks from the small wooden cart into the store, patted him awake, and asked, "Are you back from Yuechuan County? Are you optimistic about any stores?"

Wang Kui rubbed his eyes, and said slowly: "There are several, you'd better go and see for yourself."

"Is there enough money?"

"Enough. I calculated, the money you gave me is enough to buy two stores in the center of Yuechuan County."

While the two were chatting, Qian Ping hurried over and said, "Boss, just now a little boy sent a cage of black and red shrimp, which was left in the back kitchen. He said you ordered it."

"Yes." Qi Yongfan thought of this, and said, "Did you give him money?"

Qian Ping murmured: "I was afraid he was a liar, so I didn't give it to you. Besides, he heard that you were not here, so he left the cage and left..."

"Then next time he comes, remember to make up for him. A cage of prawns is worth [-] Wen."

A cage full of shrimp weighs about seven or eight catties. If this business continues, Qi Yongfan will be able to make a steady profit without losing money.

If it wasn't for the supply of crayfish that couldn't keep up, maybe Qi Yongfan would still want to sell it in the store.It's a pity that the river here in Nanshan Town is too small, and there are not many fish and shrimps, so they cannot be caught in large quantities.

After talking about the trivial matters in the store, Qi Yongfan left for the back kitchen, preparing to bring the cage of crayfish home to fry and eat.

Wang Kui was a little curious, and walked in after him. He caught a glimpse of the dense pile of strange shrimps crawling around in the cage on the ground, and suddenly asked, "Is this thing edible?"

I don't know how many ancient people asked this question.Qi Yongfan stroked his forehead and said, "It's edible, next time I'll make it and bring a catty to the shop for you to try."

"Can you cook?" Wang Kui asked in amazement.

"Of course." Qi Yongfan said inexplicably, "How can I open a restaurant if I don't know how to cook?"

Wang Kui thought that all the dishes in the store were obtained by Qi Yongfan from others, after all, this person looks very handsome, like a modest gentleman.

And a gentleman should stay away from the chef, he never thought that the other party would have such a smoky aura.

He smiled and said, "I'll go to your home some other day to try your handicraft."

Qi Yongfan refused straight away, "I'm busy, you can just eat it in the tavern, the taste is similar anyway."

Wang Kui had no choice but to continue drinking taro milk tea resentfully.

The two continued to discuss about opening a store in Yuechuan County, and Qi Yongfan decided to take Yin Xu's carriage to choose a store in a few days.Of course, before that, it was necessary for him to disguise himself.

……

Two days passed in a flash.

Yin Xu seemed to have been poisoned by the lobster, and the last time he ate it was not enough. When he heard that lobsters could be caught by the river, he pestered Qi Yongfan to go fishing.

Qi Yongfan was very helpless, he was busy selling snacks and delivering goods every day, so how could he find the time to accompany Yin Xu to go fishing for lobsters.

Finally, two days before leaving for Yuechuan County, Qi Yongfan suspended his business with the shopkeepers and took a day off to give himself a vacation.

As the weather got hotter day by day, Qi Yongfan couldn't wear most of the robes he bought at the clothing store.He thought about buying a few more thin summer shirts, so as not to sweat all over.

And just when he had this idea, Yin Xu asked Ye Zi to come to the next door and give him a gift.

"Master asked me to deliver it." Ye Zi handed him the package.

"Uh...thank you." Qi Yongfan scratched his head blankly, not knowing why.It wasn't until he opened the package and revealed four or five silk jackets inside that he realized what Yin Xu asked about his body type last time.

How big is it.It's very touching.Holding the clothes in his hands, he couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart.
