I sold snacks in ancient times

Early in the morning, at the door of Qi's house.

"Master Qi! I have your letter!" The courier boy shouted from outside the door.

"I'm coming……"

At that time, Qi Yongfan was cooking breakfast, he unplugged the induction cooker, untied his apron, and hurried out.

Qi Yongchun brought a thick letter, and said: "The snacks are almost sold out again, and Wang Shao told you to prepare more."

Qi Yongfan scratched his head, "Business is so good."

"Didn't you see that the customers of Xia Xing Snack Specialty Store have lined up to the end of the street." Qi Yongchun described vividly: "On the first day of opening, because the snacks were sold out, those customers who queued but couldn't buy Still making trouble at the gate. Now in Yuechuan County, everyone knows Xia Xing's name."

"Then I didn't prepare much today." Qi Yongfan pondered for a moment, and said: "How about this, you go back and talk to the people in Shunfeng, and let them send someone to pick up the goods at my door in the afternoon, and there will be two shipments in total."

Qi Yongchun nodded and helped to load the goods into the car.

Qi Yongfan watched him leave, and returned home to open the envelope.It was still sent by Wang Kui, and besides two pieces of letter paper, there was also a stack of bank notes.

He counted it, and there were 3000 taels.

According to what Wang Kui said in the letter, the 3000 taels was almost the total income of Xia Xing Tavern and Xia Xing Snack Store yesterday.

This day alone doubled the investment cost of Xia Xing's snack store...

Qi Yongfan thought to himself, as expected, he still makes money selling snacks.Back when he opened a mobile canteen in the antique garden, he earned a lot every month.A few cents add up to a large sum.

What's more, what he's doing now is a no-cost business.

……

At noon, the sun was scorching.The temperature in summer is quite high, and now it has entered July, which is the most excruciating season of the year in Dayin.After the rainy season, it usually takes more than half a month to usher in one rainfall.

The fields were on the verge of drying up, and the villagers had to get up early every day to rush to the river to water them.

I heard people say that in some places in the north, it can only rain once in several places, and the drought has brought unprecedented losses.The famine was so severe that hundreds of people died every day.

The remaining living people desperately wanted to come to the south.

The south is close to the sea, and there are many mountains and rivers, and Zhong Ling is handsome.As a well-known land of fish and rice in the whole country, this place seems to be isolated from the outside world, and it has not been affected by the famine in the slightest.

And the generals who handle the border have also received orders from the prefect not to let refugees in.

People are selfish.Once refugees from the north enter, the local people in the south will definitely be affected, and looting and looting are inevitable.

Yuechuan county and city, prefect yamen.

In the study room, several middle-aged men in official robes were toasting and laughing.The tea cup was filled with water mist, the steward took a sip, and couldn't help admiring: "This Huangshan silver needle is worthy of being the rarest tea in recent years, it is really sweet and mellow."

"We in Yuechuan are also good at growing tea. Here, there are still a lot of high-quality spring tea collected a while ago in our magistrate's warehouse."

The long-bearded man known as the magistrate smiled and said, "I'll ask the steward to give you a few catties for each of my colleagues later, okay?"

"Haha, I don't need Yuechuan tea. I heard that you sell a drink called happy water...it seems to be called cola? Where can I buy it? I really want to taste it."

The long-bearded man thought for a while and said with a smile: "Your Excellency is talking about Xia Xing Tavern! I will take everyone there for a good meal at noon today."

"Old Wen!" He called the servant who ran the errands, and said, "You go and locate it right away, and ask for a big box in Xia Xing Tavern."

"okay!"

The servant nodded and stepped back.

"Master Su is such a good planner, he came up with such a good way to close the city gate. I remember that something like this happened decades ago. The prefect at that time let refugees in, and as a result, the people of Gusu city were miserable. At that time, The magistrate was demoted and sent to the northwest..." The magistrate of Taiyang County next door spoke.

The long-bearded man sighed, and said, "I have no choice but to abandon those refugees for the sake of the well-being of the local people."

The magistrate of Taiyang County said disdainfully: "Those refugees only know how to waste food. Even if they are allowed in, they probably won't know how to be grateful. They only know that they are greedy for the free rice porridge given by rich businessmen, and they are clamoring for land and land. It's endless. Already!"

"By the way," one of the handsome men in Chinese clothes asked, "Master Su, has the conscription order been sent?"

The long-bearded man nodded, "After a while, the conscription will begin one after another. This time, all men over the age of 12, except those with disabilities, will go to the battlefield."

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials present fell silent.It is not easy for everyone to get mixed up like this. Although they are not honest and honest officials, most of them have some feelings for their own people.

Their business level is directly linked to the quality of life of the local people.

However, from a certain level, the destruction of the people by conscription is more terrifying than that of refugees.

They can resist refugees, but they cannot disobey the emperor's will.

"It's all the damn Koryo country's fault, it's a crime!"

"I hope I can win this time, otherwise..."

The officials and lords looked at each other, and they couldn't imagine what kind of ending the Great Yin Dynasty would face if it failed again in this war.

……

In the afternoon, the Yin family.

Yin Xu had just taken a nap, and when he woke up, he heard Ye Zi shouting in his ear: "Master! Doctor Miao said that the conscription order has been sent out, so you should make plans early."

Yin Xu half leaned on the bed and was dazed for a while, then said in a low voice, "No hurry, wait until the conscription order is posted."

"Then it will be too late!" Even Ye Zi, who doesn't know much about current affairs, was a little anxious, "Doctor Miao said, the Fifth Prince and the others have already begun to suspect you, and even the emperor has sent letters several times urging you to return to the palace."

"Then I'll talk to Qi Yongfan tonight."

Ye Zi: "Young Master Qi left for Yuechuan County at noon, and may not come back tonight."

Yin Xu was startled, "Then we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Ye Zi was still rambling, "You should return to the palace quickly, the emperor is not in good health recently, in case there is a palace change..."

Later, Yin Xu couldn't hear what Ye Zi said clearly.His mind was filled with the dream he had just now. In the dream, he and Qi Yongfan were lingering on the bed...

How could this be so?Yin Xu couldn't help but start to doubt life.Indeed, Qi Yongfan is his husband.But he didn't think he was broken, why would he have such a weird dream?

He suddenly called Ye Zi and said, "Is everything in the dream real?"

Ye Zi thought about it carefully, and replied: "I think about it day by day, and I dream about it at night. So I think, although it doesn't have to be true, what I dream may have something to do with reality."

Yin Xu was thoughtful.

……

When he arrived in Yuechuan County, Qi Yongfan went straight to Xia Xing snack store.He never expected that among the many snacks, the hottest and fastest-selling snacks turned out to be spicy sticks.

At the beginning, he specially ordered a batch of oil paper bags to hold the spicy strips, and a small toothpick was placed in each paper bag, which was glued to the top for eating the spicy strips.

Each bag of hot strips is very small, only a pack of Xiaoweilong, and the price is [-] Wen.

Maybe it's because it's the cheapest in the store, or maybe because it's really tasty and everyone likes to buy it.

Wang Kui was not in the shop today, according to the waiter in the shop, a big man came to Xia Xing Tavern at noon, so Wang Kui hurried to the shop over there.

Looking at this new store, Qi Yongfan felt very satisfied.He looked around, occasionally adjusted the position of the poster at the door, and taught the waiter how to speak by the way, and a day passed.

The goods prepared today are abundant.There was still a lot of goods left in the warehouse until closing time.

After counting the turnover, Qi Yongfan was about to go to the inn he booked nearby.

Who would have thought that just a few steps away, they would run into Wang Kui running over out of breath.He has lost a lot of weight and darkened a lot, probably because he has been running business these days.

Wearing brocade clothes, he looked like a wealthy young man, holding a lantern, panting and coughing a few times, and said: "Why don't you tell me in advance if you want to come."

Qi Yongfan: "I asked the waiter to notify you, maybe he didn't find you."

Wang Kui said excitedly: "At noon today, the magistrate and several high-ranking officials came to Xiaxing Tavern for dinner, and I stayed with them all afternoon..."

"Don't be too tired, or I'll hire another steward to help manage a store."

"Let's talk about it later. Where do you stay at night? The inn is always uncomfortable, why don't you come to my house?"

After saying this, Wang Kui still had some small expectations in his heart.

"No need, I've already reserved a room at the inn, which is just ahead at the Longyou Tavern."

Wang Kui: "It's rare for you to come to Yuechuan County, don't you go out to play?"

Qi Yongfan was puzzled, "It's late at night, what's the fun?"

Wang Kui winked, "You know where men go."

Thinking of the brothel he went back to last time, Qi Yongfan was still a little scared, he couldn't help but shook his head and said: "I've been there before, and they were all rouge and vulgar fans, it's really boring, it's better to sleep on your head."

Wang Kui asked, "Did you go alone last time?"

Qi Yongfan shook his head, "My friend went with me."

"That's it. Your friend must not be from Yuechuan County." Wang Kui said with a smile: "Follow me today and take you to see some new things."

Qi Yongfan asked curiously: "What is it? Don't tell me which leader is going to listen to talk and sing..."

"Vulgar!" Wang Kui said mysteriously: "I want to take you to the Nanfeng Hall, how about it, will you go?"

"What is that..." Qi Yongfan thought to himself, as if he was a familiar Yazi.

"It's not a thing! It's a small restaurant!"

Qi Yongfan suddenly knew what it was, probably it was the shop he saw next to the brothel last time, it was all men's shop.That's the modern Cowherd's shop, well, it's like he's never seen the world.

Well, he really hasn't seen the world.

As a gay, Qi Yongfan licked his lips and said, "Where is it?"
