The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official

Chapter 58 Barbeque Shop

Mrs. Fan did not expect that the Su family did not accept money, but used the place at the door of the shop near Xiangguo Temple as payment for the sauce recipes. This meant that the Fan family did not owe the Su family any favors and would not embarrass Shilang Fan.

“This is one hundred taels, do you really want to accept it?”

Mrs. Fan still couldn't believe it. Su Yanli had borrowed fifty taels from Fan Zengxian in the past two years, and she didn't pay it back until a year ago. Isn't it tempting to see so much money?

Qin’s mother shook her head, “They didn’t even open it to see how much it was and rejected it.”

Mrs. Fan raised her eyebrows and said, "I don't think Dr. Su's wife is so farsighted. Is she really not moved when she sees Jiaozi?"

The scene of that day appeared in Qin’s mother’s mind, “Old slave, Mrs. Su is not a decisive mistress...”

"oh?"

“On the other hand, the eldest daughter, who was six or seven years old, seemed innocent, but she pushed the old slave’s hand away resolutely, saying that she would not accept the money unless she wanted to, because she wanted to set up a barbecue stall in front of the shop near Xiangguo Temple.”

Mrs. Su didn't quite believe it: "You have such an idea at the age of seven?" She also has children. When her eldest daughter was seven years old, she just stood next to her and started to listen to how to run a house, but she didn't have any ideas.

Qin’s mother nodded affirmatively, “Perhaps the children of poor people should become parents early!”

This is possible, Mrs. Fan said nothing.

Qin's mother asked: "Madam, our shop sells calligraphy, painting and ancient books. Can we set up a barbecue stall for her?"

“Since she has spoken, let her set up a small stall at the door without charging rent.”

 “Okay, then I will send someone to make arrangements.”

Three days later, the Fan family sent people back and forth to set up a barbecue stall in front of the shop near Xiangguo Temple. Su Ruojin was very happy because there was another way to make a living. Shu Tong was vying to go, but Su Ruojin stopped him and said, "Brother Dashi and Xianggui are going."

Since the breakfast shop has not been found, Dashi has been helping at the breakfast stall. The stall is small, and the three of them seem a little idle. Now that they are better, they are making a living again. It is also the section of Xiangguo Temple. They are already familiar with selling hawthorn slices, so Dashi Very happy.

Growing up, Xianggui either stayed around the stove, did laundry, swept the floor, and cut pig grass. She rarely interacted with people outside the family. Her little master asked her to go to the night market to sell barbecue, and she seemed flustered and disorganized.

 Another social terror?

Although Su Ruojin had a headache, she still encouraged her: "If you go out to set up a stall with Brother Da Shi, your monthly silver will be doubled."

 “Double?” Hearing the money, the nervous Xianggui was instantly surprised, “Just four taels?”

"Yes, that's right." Su Ruojin said, "The shopkeeper of the small shop paid almost the same price."

She earns as much as the shopkeeper? The temptation of silver defeated the fear in her heart, Xianggui puffed up her chest, "I...I'll try..."

It's easier to do things if you have the motivation, so Su Ruojin and Shutong ordered two more barbecue grills, as well as the same simple movable cabins, small folding stools and other hardware facilities as the breakfast stalls, and bought enough spices. Researching the sauce, I was busy until the tenth day of April before the official opening.

Su Ruojin said to Dashi, "The place you are at is the door of Mr. Fan's shop. If you encounter someone with evil intentions and deliberately collects protection money, go into the shop and find the shopkeeper. I believe he will help you settle the matter."

"well."

Dashi has already heard Shu Tong explain why he can have this land to open a barbecue. It is all a favor obtained by the little master for eating the recipe. He will definitely manage it well and try not to cause trouble to the little master.

Although it is still a small stall, as summer is coming and more people go out at night, the barbecue stall will attract customers when it is set up. Su Ruojin does not dare to be careless. Not only does he teach Dashi and Xianggui step by step, but he also does it himself before setting up the stall. Pickled skewers, I kept them for nearly a month before I dared to throw them away.

Sure enough, as Su Ruojin expected, the business was booming. The ingredients prepared every day were not enough to sell, so the books purchased did not touch the ground with the busy work every day.

“This won’t work.” “It’s okay, I’ll just be busy when I’m busy.” If there is money to be made, Shu Tong is happy to be busy.

Su Ruojin shook his head, "If this business is so busy, how can we expand the business in the future?"

 The book is the same as: "..." It makes sense.

“The larger our volume, the lower the cost. If you go to one store here or another there, not only will the cost not be reduced, but the various expenses will actually be higher after taking into account all the expenses. You may end up making money for others.”

"ah…"

“Besides, if you see us making money, there will definitely be followers in the night market. What will happen if there is a price war?”

 “Our sauce is definitely better than theirs.”

Su Ruojin believes in this, but if you want to firmly occupy the night market and not fail, in addition to the sauce, reasonable prices are also necessary.

“Tomorrow, I will go to the market with you.”

Su Ruojin plans to not only fix the vegetables, meat, soy products and gluten in the shop, but also string them up and deliver them directly to the back door of Su's house to reduce unnecessary transportation and labor.

 After wandering around for several days, Su Ruojin finally negotiated a cooperation store and signed a contract with him to ensure the freshness and hygiene of the ingredients.

"Uncle Shutong, I just started working with them, and I'm afraid they won't meet my requirements. For the next few days, you have to keep an eye on it every day. It's summer again, so you have to make sure it's clean and hygienic."

“Second lady, don’t worry.” Shutong said, “You saved them from fire and water. If they don’t repay their gratitude, let them be struck by lightning from the sky.”

Su Ruojin:…

If "the sky strikes with thunder and strikes" can restrain people's morality and conscience, then let the heaven strike with thunder and strike!

 In the midst of all the busy work, April has passed without knowing it, and May has entered. I just looked for shops to cooperate with and didn’t even have time to watch the dragon boat race. By the time Su Ruojin took a break, it was already mid-May.

 At this time, there is not only income from breakfast and barbecue stalls, but also a share of milk tea. The Su family now has an income of nearly one hundred taels per month.

Su Ruojin and her mother were sitting in the bedroom calculating some money, and they were so happy that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear.

Cheng Yingzhen said, "Don't worry about Ah Jin's dowry."

Su Ruojin smiled and said, "Not only do I have to worry about my dowry, but I also have money to let my brothers and sisters get married."

Cheng Yingzhen was so moved by what her daughter said with such sincerity that she stretched out her hand to caress her young temples, "Thank you for your hard work, Jin. My brothers will definitely remember you for the rest of their lives."

As long as everyone is happy, Su Ruojin feels that everything is worth it. She throws herself into her mother's arms and hugs her mother: "Mom, as long as our family lives happily, I will be happy."

 Cheng Yingzhen hugged her daughter tightly and said, "Good daughter." Thank God for giving her to me as my daughter.

After everything was sorted out, Su Ruojin had time to think about the breakfast shop. Just when she was about to wait for Uncle Shu Tong to come back and ask about the situation, he ran back from outside in a hurry. His head was covered with sweat, and he drank a large glass of water to relieve it. thirsty.

“Second Lady, I have two things to say, which one do you want to hear first?”

"I don't even know which ones." Su Ruojin said loudly: "Uncle, just tell me one by one!"
