OBS Chapter 393 Sweeping a Street
Chapter 393 Sweeping a Street
Ah Chi burst out laughing and said, "Master, do you still remember him? The little wolf cub who looked at us like enemies before. But now he looks a lot whiter."
Fu Huaian moved his eyes and glanced at Ah Chi: "Be careful with your words, she is a girl."
Ah Chi immediately slapped himself on the mouth: "Look at my mouth. She left a very deep first impression on me. But her kung fu is not that good, just fancy moves."
If Shen Youyou knew this, she would definitely scold him: "Your grandma's legs."
The baby-faced Wei Yichen looked curious: "What's going on? Tell me about it."
Fu Huai'an returned to his seat and asked, "What do you want to know?"
Ning Yu also pulled the baby-faced girl back to her seat and taught her, "I already said she's a girl. Even if she's young, you can't just ask around. Come on and eat."
But Wei Yichen's personality is 100% consistent with his appearance. He is a model of consistency. At the age of 14, he still has a childish heart. He said, "No, I have to go and see how capable I am to say that I can sweep a street by myself."
After saying that, he walked out without even eating, and Ning Yu couldn't stop him.
Ning Yu's servant had already paid the meal money. Seeing Wei Yichen running out, the other three could only follow him helplessly. Chen Dongjia bent over and saw them off all the way.
Fu Huaian just glanced at A Chi, and A Chi understood and stepped back a few steps. He put two ingots of silver in Chen Dongjia's hand, one ingot was for buying cumin and asked him to deliver it directly to the mansion, and the other ingot was a reward.
Chen Dongjia's fat face immediately broke into a smile. He held the silver ingot in both hands and said that he would arrange for someone to deliver it to the mansion as soon as possible.
In fact, he was not looking at the reward of ten taels of silver. He felt that this time Mr. Fu really remembered the relationship between him and Brother Shen, and this reward of the second master would not be given away for nothing.
To be able to earn 30% profit with just a few prescriptions is a great thing, but think about what the situation will be like now that Guangyuan Tower has the backing of Duke Fu's Mansion.
Not to mention how they take care of him, just if he comes a few more times, Mr. Shen will wake up laughing in his dreams.
But if you say, what's the big deal if you come a few more times, and I can give you more money every time, Mr. Chen will definitely give you a very disdainful look:
"Is it a matter of reward or not? What kind of place is this? Most of the people who come in and out of the capital are either rich or noble. When Master Fu comes, there is no need to talk to him.
Even Chi Ye beside him would come to him to discuss his brother Shen. How could anyone who is rich or noble in Beijing be a fool? They would think to themselves that this is someone who can talk to the Fu family! "
No matter what Mr. Chen said, Fu Huaian didn't chase Wei Yichen when he left the restaurant. Instead, he took A Chi and went straight to Shen Zhiqiu's stall.
There were quite a few people looking at shoe soles and jewelry in front of the stall at this moment.
Fu Huaian looked at Shen Zhiqiu, a scholar in a coarse linen shirt, bending over to measure the size of a model with a bamboo board. The smile in his eyes deepened a little. He just liked people who didn't care about their status and were down-to-earth and hardworking.
So, for the first time ever, this great general and eldest son took the initiative to step forward and say hello: "Shen Zhiqiu, business is good!"
Shen Zhiqiu looked up and saw who was coming. He immediately asked the people around him to greet the guests. With a natural smile on his face, he said, "It's General Fu! Are you... visiting the Lantern Festival?"
This time, Fu Huai'an was not as cold as he was when they were strangers. He said, "I was having dinner with my friends at Guangyuan Restaurant just now. I heard from Mr. Chen that you have become the second owner of Guangyuan Restaurant?"
Speaking of this, Shen Zhiqiu felt a little embarrassed. After all, he knew very well how he became the second boss.
He walked out of the stall and briefly told Fu Huaian how he became the second boss. Then he said to him very embarrassedly: "This is really thanks to General Fu."
Fu Huai'an nodded: "Boss Chen does value your ability, otherwise how could he give you 30% of the shares."
Ah Chi had already run to the stall to greet several men he knew from the Jiuzu clan, especially Li Quan.
Li Quan used to be a real Fu's soldier. The two had met each other so many times. He was very curious about the soles of shoes, so he treated them casually as if he was at his own stall.
He also asked Li Quan from time to time what models of shoe soles there were, how many pairs could be made in a day, and what the approximate cost was.
If it was a stranger, Li Quan would have taken action long ago. You said you want to take a look, so why are you asking about other people's costs?
But unfortunately, he is one of them, and Li Quan doesn't know much about the cost. He said: "You have to ask my son-in-law and my young lady. My young lady is in charge of the accounting."
Ah Chi was thinking: "You almost made me confused by the word young lady. Look at your young lady. She doesn't look like a girl at all. I guess if you say young master, I can better understand who you are talking about."
No matter how Ah Chi complained, Shen Youyou and the other kids were so happy. Sister Youyou was so awesome. From the Guangyuanlou stall to now, they passed by several stalls where they could guess riddles.
When there are beautiful lanterns, they will stop and Shen Youyou will be responsible for guessing the riddles.
At this time, Shen Nannan and three other little girls were holding little rabbit lanterns, little carp lanterns, little rooster lanterns, and several sisters were holding lotus lanterns.
Yes, Shuntianfu is the capital city. At this time, not to mention people from other prefectures and counties coming to Kyoto for sightseeing,
There were also many foreign merchants, for example, there were merchants from the Northern Yuan Dynasty who came here. Shen Youyou actually saw quite a few people wearing foreign costumes.
On this day, there are dragon and lion dances, singing and dancing, juggling, lighting lanterns, lantern riddles, and all kinds of delicious food. It is definitely lively from dusk to early morning.
Naturally, all major businesses are unwilling to miss this business opportunity. Every store is decorated with bright lights in an effort to attract more eyeballs on the Mid-Autumn Night.
Some large chambers of commerce even set up stages in front of their stores to attract people. Even small stores that can't afford to put on a grand display can just put up some lanterns and let people guess riddles for free. This is low-cost and appropriate for the occasion.
Therefore, there are the most stalls selling riddles. Shen Youyou and her friends are not greedy. They choose one or two they like at a stall and then move on to the next one.
In the middle, Shen Youyou also saw the difference between the ancient candied haws and the candied haws she made.
She had doubted this before. Sugar was so expensive in ancient times. Wouldn’t it be a loss to sell the candied haws in novels and TV dramas for only two cents?
Now I know that the ancient candied haws only had five hawthorns, and the hawthorns were very small.
For example, if one pound of sugar can make twenty strings of candied haws in later times, then it would be good to make forty strings of candied haws today.
The most important thing is, I don’t know about other dynasties, but in the Daqing Dynasty, a string of candied haws cost three cents, and two strings cost five cents.
As for how she knew, of course they bought them, and each of them got one.
Not only did they buy candied haws, they also bought candy figurines for their younger brothers and sisters. As for why the girls didn't buy any this time, it was mainly because they were holding lanterns and candied haws in their hands.
They also had to hold their younger brothers and sisters back and not let them run around. They really didn't have Nezha's three heads and six arms, so they simply couldn't play.
