Xie Rongzhao failed to find the treasure he wanted, but the harvest was not bad, and he finally picked a basket of medicinal materials and went back.
Of course, she was not the one responsible for carrying the medicinal materials, but her grandson Zhu Xiaoyun, who was sent by Manager Zhu to carry it.
"This mountain is really a bit desolate. I walked around for several days and didn't see a few pheasants."
Zhu Xiaoyun was puzzled: "Miss, do you want to eat chicken? The chickens we raise are still a little small. How about I go to the village to buy two of them?"
Xie Rongzhao rolled his eyes, could this child understand the key points?
"No, I didn't want to eat it. I just think this mountain is desolate, unlike the mountain in our hometown where there are rabbits and pheasants, which is very lively."
Zhu Xiaoyun stopped talking. Their hilltop was indeed a bit deserted.
There are five or six hills in this area, large and small, all connected and basically the same. It may be because the vegetation on this mountain is not so lush, so some small animals are not willing to make their homes here.
Xie Rongzhao was still a little frustrated when she failed to catch rabbits or pheasants, but the thought of going to see some of the sheep she raised made her excited again.
There were two dairy goats and a few lambs raised on the mountain, but Xie Rongzhao was very disappointed.
When she was at Xie's house, there were also dairy goats at home, but she didn't dare to approach the goats. The old lady always thought she wanted to steal the goat's milk.
In fact, how could she, a little girl, know how to milk a goat?
Now I am older, seven years old, but I am still very curious about these little animals. I still dare not approach the dairy goats, but I like to touch the lambs.
Xie Xiuwen arrived in the evening and has a rest tomorrow so he can relax here.
The ash trees on this mountain are a good thing, so Xie Xiuwen deliberately walked around to make sure that some of the guards at the foot of the mountain were doing a good job.
No one knew that the trees on this mountain were valuable before, so no one would go to the mountain to cut them down.
But he will sell trees again later, and sooner or later someone will know about it.
Not only the trees, but also the fruits of the ash tree can be sold. It is not an exaggeration to say that the whole body is full of treasures.
In addition to the fence posts, there is now a family of servants guarding the bottom. In addition, there are several households at the foot of the mountain who are their tenant farmers, and there are people taking care of the mountain, so Xie Xiuwen can rest assured.
This place is close to the capital, and most of the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there are relatively few cases of theft.
Back at Sanxing Lane, Liu Ruolan started arranging things for the shop again.
The shop has basically been repaired, and the tables, chairs, and kitchen utensils are all ready. Next, we will try it out for a few days to see if these children can work quickly.
Xie Rongzhao knew that doing business at home was no joke. After all, this was the capital, and there were powerful people everywhere, so he didn't dare to be careless.
"Uncle, can you lend me someone?"
Zhao Yue looked at this clever little girl and pinched her cheek: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Xie Rongzhao pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't always pinch my face. People say that if you do, your face will be fat and ugly in the future."
Zhao Yue chuckled: "You little girl is really pretty!"
Xie Rongzhao glared at him angrily, but Zhao Yue couldn't bear this: "Okay, okay, uncle was wrong. You just said you wanted to borrow someone, but because of the shop?"
Xie Rongzhao's eyes lit up, he knew everything!
"My grandma's cousins came to the capital to do some small business, but they are young, and it's not convenient for my grandma to go out all the time, so I thought of asking you to borrow someone, mainly to help as a shopkeeper. "
Zhao Yue smiled and was about to reach out to pinch her face, but when he saw her defensive look, he touched her head instead.
"Okay, this is easy to handle. I'll assign two people to you."
"one is enough."
"The shop has just opened, and it's a newcomer. If you're in a hurry, I'll send you two for use first. When you sort them out later, I'll take one back."
Xie Rongzhao smiled happily: "Sure, thank you, uncle."
"Thank you for nothing! You helped me a lot and saved my life, but you just borrowed someone's help, it's nothing."
The few half-grown boys brought by Xie Xiuwen were not taken seriously in the village before. Because the family had a hard time, the elders thought that those who stuttered would have to wait until they starved to death.
Among the three, only one had studied for two years and was still working as a baggage carrier, so he could go to school for two years.
When Xie Xiuwen was in Gaoyang County, he changed their names.
It won't work if I don't change it. I won't be able to work in the shop when I hear this name. Donkey eggs and dung balls. How can I call such a name in a place that sells food?
Besides, I don’t know what these parents are thinking. Don’t you feel disgusted when you call this name?
Now these three and a half young men have new names, namely Fang Jiahe, Fang Jiamu, and Fang Jiahuan.
Fang Jiahe is the oldest, only thirteen this year. Perhaps because he can't keep up with food, he is still a little small and very thin. It is this Fang Jiahe who can write.
Xie Xiuwen asked Fang Jiahe to try to be a bookkeeper. Xie Rongzhao happened to lend him a shopkeeper and asked him to learn more from him.
When opening a braised vegetable restaurant in Beijing, some things are difficult to prepare.
For example, some braised sewer water that is loved by the common people is not suitable for sale here.
Moreover, Xie Xiuwen has been shopping in the capital countless times in the past six months, and there are only a few merchants that make braised vegetables, and most of them make pig's trotters or big knuckles.
After Liu Ruolan discussed it with him, she decided to cook braised chicken, braised duck, braised pig trotters first, and wait for the rest later.
This prescription was originally given by Xie Rongzhao. In order not to leak the prescription, Xie Xiuwen specially sent people to several pharmacies to buy them separately.
Of course, even so, some materials were transported from their hometown, and the caravan was specially entrusted to carry them to them every time they went north.
On the first day that Xiangxiang Braised Restaurant opened, it sold 60 braised chickens and more than 70 braised ducks. They didn't make many braised pig trotters. They made more than 30 braised dishes in total, and none was left.
Liu Ruolan didn't expect to sell so well. After discussing with the shopkeeper, she decided to make more tomorrow. In addition, she also didn't forget to ask someone to leave a few for her tomorrow.
In fact, business was good on this first day, mainly because the shop had just opened and the price was set cheaply.
A whole braised chicken only costs 50 cents. This price is indeed not high. In the countryside, you can buy a live chicken for more than 20 cents, but you still have to kill the chicken and process it, which is a waste of time and materials. Selling one for fifty cents doesn't really make much money.
In the first three days after the store opened, the price was relatively low. By the fourth day, the price would go up.
Liu Ruolan was a little worried. She had never handled the shop in Gaoyang County. She really didn't know if the price was set too high.
"My dear, is it really possible? You used to sell it for fifty cents a piece, but now you sell it for ninety cents a piece. Is it too expensive? What if you can't sell it?"
