Lin Shiqi frowned slightly and slowly expressed her concerns.
When Liu Mo came to Rongcheng for the first time, the "entrepreneurial capital" he had with him was, to put it bluntly, not his own at all.
The more you make, the more you earn, and you won’t get a penny from it, and you won’t feel bad if you lose.
The only thing that restrains Liu Mo is the work pressure of 10,000 taels of silver profit.
But it's different now. The "entrepreneurial capital" is only the four thousand taels that Liu Mo won last time.
At first glance, it looks like a huge sum of money, but it doesn’t cost much.
The family needs money for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the men's monthly silver needs money.
It costs money to buy ingredients, tables, chairs, pots and pans, large and small items in the store.
Also, the "public security management fees", "cleaning fees" and various miscellaneous taxes in the Great Xia Dynasty all cost money.
Lin Shiqi calculated on the first day that no matter how frugal she was, she would still need at least 500 silver in a month.
At present, the total amount of money in the whole body is 5,000 taels, which can last for almost a year.
I'm sorry, I'll ask the old lady for it when the time comes.
I can't afford to lose that person!
Hearing this, Liu Mo suddenly realized, "What do you think?"
"Xiao Qizi also said before that the current business of 'Jingshui Pavilion' is enough to make a living. I think now we will continue to operate according to the previous method. We can try to make some grilled sausages and barbecues and give them to the guests. .
If the reputation is good and the profit is sufficient. It’s not too late to make a living from barbecue.
One more thing, husband, have you forgotten what the old lady said? "
"Don't be too showy!" Liu Mo suddenly woke up.
If you make too big a move and steal business from other restaurants, you will definitely be pushed to the forefront.
If you want to take root in Rongcheng, you must first get the help of "shi".
All the merchants, squires, and officials in the city must have good relationships.
In Linyang, I, Liu Mo, happened to have common interests with the new official He Ruda, so he would help me again and again.
Mr. Rongcheng County, I don’t even know what he looks like, will he help me?
If you take too big a step, it’s easy to get carried away, so you have to keep a low profile!
"You are really my good wife!" Liu Mo said with a smile. "Then follow the wishes of our 'Jingshui Pavilion' proprietress and purchase ordinary ingredients."
Grilled sausages and beer will be developed slowly in your free time.
At the same time, since the late-night snack food stalls are temporarily closed, they will return to normal business hours starting from the next day, and they will be open from Chen time to You time.
The task was handed down and everyone began to get busy.
At this time, Xin'er stayed where she was, looking at Liu Mo anxiously.
"What's the matter, Xin'er, do you have something to tell me?"
"Yes... Mr. Liu!" Xin'er hesitated to speak.
"Tell me, why are you hesitating!"
"I'm afraid Mr. Liu will scold me!"
"Huh? Why should I scold you when you're so good?"
Xin'er looked around and said, "Mr. Liu, come with me!"
After saying that, she turned around and left.
Liu Mo looked confused, but seeing Xin'er being so serious, he followed her.
When they arrived at the stables of the restaurant, Xin'er slowly said, "Mr. Liu, what Miss Lin just said, Xin'er thinks I can help you."
"help me?"
"Yes!" Xin'er lowered her head in shame, "Xin'er knows nothing but serving men..."
"Ah?" Liu Mo seemed to have guessed something.
"Uncle, if you want to gain a foothold in Rongcheng, you need to make friends with the dignitaries here." Xin'er's face was already red. "When you go out to socialize in the future, you might as well take Xin'er with you. Let Xin'er serve them..."
Treat you as a social butterfly, sleep with these LSPs, and quickly get into relationships with them?
Are you kidding me, my woman, sleeping with someone else?
"How could you have such an idea?" Liu Mo raised his voice, "You are my Liu Mo's woman, and I swear that I will treat you well. Shiqi also mentioned to me that she would marry you as my concubine, but now she has not It’s not the time.”
"Mr. Liu, I'm not worthy." Xiner shook her head.
I don't know why, the better Liu Mo treats her, the less courage she has to face it.
Liu Mo knew that this was a typical suggestive inferiority disorder.
When she was young, Xin'er was raised as a roommate. The neglect and look down upon by the people around her made her feel extremely low self-esteem and it was easy for her to deny herself.
"You need to talk nonsense, you are a good girl, I will treat you well."
"Mr. Liu, why are you so kind to me! How will Xin'er repay this in the future?" Xin'er said, "Mr. Liu, you must let Xin'er do something for you."
"When the time comes, give me more fat boys, haha!"
"Mr. Liu!!!" Xiner burst into tears when she heard this.
What the two of them didn't know was that during the conversation, Yuan'er came looking for Liu Mo.
By coincidence, I heard Xin'er saying that she was going to serve a high-ranking official in Rongcheng without hearing the rest of the content.
After hearing this content, the little girl's misunderstanding of Xin'er deepened.
"Shameless thing!" She turned and left angrily.
Such a misunderstanding, but I don't know what kind of trouble will arise in the future.
~~~
After lunch, Liu Mo planned to go to the market to check out the ingredients.
Unexpectedly, Xin'er insisted on following.
The Daxia Dynasty was not much different from the Earth. Women needed to behave dignified and steady, so they should not show their faces easily, lest they be regarded as unstable and outward-minded.
Lin Shiqi and Yuan'er spent most of their time in "Jingshui Pavilion" and rarely went downstairs.
Although Liu Mo wouldn't care about this, for Xin'er, doing so would cause rumors. After all, she was an unmarried woman.
Xin'er's idea is very simple. Everyone who follows Liu Mo has an errand. Therefore, she doesn't want to be a "waste" and follow Liu Mo for free. As long as she can contribute to Liu Mo, she doesn't care about anything.
Xin'er also said that in Daxia, there were also wives of certain merchants who helped their husbands do business and made themselves public.
Liu Mo said she couldn't do it, so he had no choice but to follow her wishes.
When they arrived at the market, they inevitably attracted strange looks.
But Xin'er didn't care at all. At this time, she acted more caring than Liu Mo. She silently remembered every word Liu Mo said.
We didn’t go shopping for long. "Ah, honey, Mr. Liu, look at it." She said to Liu Mo in surprise, "I remember that when I was young, my father shot a deer and left a small piece of leg meat for me to roast.
There was some honey brushed on it, and although I only ate one piece, I still remember it. "
Most of the remaining deer meat was sold to support the family, Liu Mo thought.
Honey-glazed deer meat... An idea suddenly came to mind.
Xin'er closed her eyes tightly and sniffed hard.
"Mr. Liu, over there!" She pointed to a vendor. A stooped little vendor was grilling meat and green onions on a hot flint. "Is this the grilled sausage you want to make, Master?"
Surprised by Yu Xiner's discovery, all three of them tasted it.
"It tastes different from what I remembered." Liu Mo commented after taking a few bites.
The shape is also different. This barbecue is simply coated in flour and shaped into strips.
"It's different from those in my hometown," Xin'er said.
"Oh? There are grilled sausages in your hometown?"
"I don't know if it's the grilled sausage you mentioned, sir," Xin'er said. "In my hometown, people in the village like to grill food."
Liu Mo suddenly became interested, "Then can you do it?"
"I can try it and see..."
Haha, not a reward for being a scumbag. If you can really make grilled sausages, Xin'er, you will be of great help to me!
