Mrs. Mo Xiangjiao

"Shopkeeper, do you have any plans to sell the store?" She asked.

The old man's eyes widened immediately, and he opened his mouth, but didn't answer for a long time.

"The shop is out, what else can I eat?" He tremblingly said with trembling lips.

You don't have any business here, it doesn't look like you can make money.

It wasn't this shop that she had her eyes on. In fact, the shopkeeper's craftsmanship is actually pretty good, so it's good to let him pay more attention to the dim sum outside.What she really valued was actually the craftsmanship of the shopkeeper. Such an experienced cook was hard to find outside.

In the early years, she traveled with Jiang Qing to the north and south, and tasted food from all over the world. In terms of dim sum, each place has its own characteristics.

Changlin Town is geographically close to the south, and its taste is sweeter, so most of the dim sum made are small and exquisite, with a light taste, and the shapes and ingredients are very conservative, such as sweet-scented osmanthus cake and mung bean cake.

Dim sum in the north is very different. The northerners are rough, like to drink in big bowls, eat meat, and do things straightforwardly. Naturally, they are not as "stingy" as in the south when it comes to food.Steamed buns and steamed buns are a type of pasta, also known as dim sum, with a variety of flavors, sweet and sour, fresh and spicy, all added to it.

In addition to these, dim sum and snacks in various places have their own characteristics, and there are countless types.

If you open a unique dim sum shop based on your early experience, you will not only have dim sum, but more importantly, there will be many foods that locals have never seen before.Only innovation can attract customers to this not-so-good shop.

When she traveled around with Jiang Qing, she had learned a few dim sum recipes, and it was not difficult to make them, but it needed an experienced dim sum cook to make them. She had just learned how to cook some home-cooked dishes, and those dim sum recipes were a bit difficult for her.

"I see that your business is not good, but I want to sell it..."

Before she finished speaking, the old man's expression changed immediately, like a piece of old pig liver, very embarrassing.His face was gloomy, his eyes were sharp, and even the creases on his face became stiff.

"What are you talking about! No matter how bad my business is, I don't need you to ask!" The old man angrily threw her out, not listening to Bai Yan's explanation at all.

She touched her nose, suddenly a little frustrated.

Seeing her going out dejectedly, the old woman comforted her, "Little girl, don't be discouraged. That is the old man's only property. He has no children under his knees, so this is the only shop left. If the shop is sold out, he will There is no place to live. Someone came to the shop before, and the old man forced him to call him out."

"If I let him stay, is he willing to give me the shop?" She thought about it and asked.

"I don't know. If you take over this shop, why are you still keeping people and not occupying the place? He is so old and can't do hard work, why not hire a young and strong man!"

She didn't listen to the complaints in her mouth, and continued to ask: "Auntie, does he know how much money he is willing to sell?"

The old lady lived next door to him, and she looked up and down every day. As a neighbor, she should be able to know the price in the shopkeeper's mind.

"I don't know." She thought for a while and said, "The last time I heard him say that if someone is willing to give him a place to live, he would be willing to sell it for 50 taels."

50 taels is not expensive for the shops on Datong Street, it can be said to be quite cheap.It's just that it's in an alley, the location is not good, and the normal price is around 150 taels.As for the idle shop in her own hands, the location is remote, and it costs about 100 taels to sell it.

After thanking the old lady, he changed to a dim sum shop and weighed two catties of dim sum. It cost almost a penny, and asked the shopkeeper to divide it into two parts and take one part to Boss Wang, and gave the 250 Wen in arrears to Boss Wang. .

"It's really a pity that you can't help me continue to copy. Now the handwriting is as clear and beautiful as yours, and Tan Chao's fast ghostwriting is hard to find." Boss Wang said with regret.

"If possible, I would like to continue to help Boss Wang, but this condition does not allow, so I can only thank Boss Wang for his help." She smiled.

"Where."

After bidding farewell to Boss Wang, she wandered the streets alone for a long time, and finally saw that it was getting late, and if she didn't hurry up, Mrs. Li and the others might be coming back, so she had to bite the bullet and go to Ding's house.

Ding Jinghua was sitting in the kiosk embroidering a purse, when she saw her she immediately stood up and greeted her: "Long time no see, but you seem to have lost weight again."

"No, don't talk nonsense, I have seen Brother Jiang several times in the past few days, and I have eaten a few good meals." She smiled and helped the two to sit down together.

"Have you seen Jiang Qing?" She smiled slightly, "I heard that he went to Minzhong a few days ago, but he is no longer at home."

"I know."

Ding Jinghua looked her up and down, and asked slightly puzzled: "Then why did you come to see me today? Your relatives are willing to let you go out?"

"Where is she willing, I sneaked out today." Bai Yan shrugged.

Looking for someone to borrow money, she really couldn't say such a thing, but the idea had already sprouted in her heart, let her secretly earn a little money at home in the future, when will she earn enough money for her to live alone?

After hesitating for a while, Ding Jinghua looked forward, as if she had seen through her, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell her plan.

"I thought I couldn't stay at home all the time, and I had to find ways to make money. But the shop cost at least 50 taels, and I only got 25 taels if I had all the money in my hand. Now I can only come to you."

Ding Jinghua thought it was funny, and said: "Finally, I saw you coming to ask me for help. I always saw that you refused to ask us for help in anything, and you just carried it by yourself. It hurts me to see you."

Without saying a word, she got up and took 70 taels from her small treasury, and slowly carried a bag full of silver and silver in a cloth bag, which was heavy.

"I don't have a lot of money here, here is 70 taels." Seeing that Bai Yan was in a hurry, she immediately held down her rejecting hand and explained, "I know you think it's too much, but apart from buying a shop, you You have to find someone to redecorate, and you have to find a buddy, and I see that you can't leave home and move to town right away."

Bai Yan was silent, she was very entangled in her heart, thinking about opening the shop first, and then decorating the shop after earning money.

"Don't worry, I lent you this money, and I'm not that young master Jiang Qing, so I can spend this money for nothing. I took this money out of my dowry, so I'll invest it in you, you If you make money, then return it to me, if you don’t make money, then treat it as if I’ve lost sight of it. There are winners and losers in business, you’ve been by Jiang Qing’s side for so long, don’t you know?”

What she said was reasonable, and she couldn't find any reason to refute it. Besides, she really needed the money now. Just borrowing 25 taels was not enough, and she had to spare some money to buy ingredients.

The shopkeeper is old enough to let him take care of all the miscellaneous things in the store. It's okay that the store is deserted, but if the business in the store is good, then you have to hire some staff. These are all money.There are also any sudden incidents, which require money to manage.

She pursed her lips, and took the cloth bag, this time the silver taels were extra heavy.

"You have to do it well, it's up to you whether I can get married in a good way." Ding Jinghua smoothed her hair and joked.

She was taken aback for a moment, realizing that there was something else in her words: "Are you going to get married?"
