Looking at the so-called "buffet" stall set up by Sheng Guoer, it immediately attracted the attention of many business travelers passing by. Even the soldiers in the military camp came out to watch the excitement.
Sheng Guoer invited the miners to eat, and the fragrant food caught the taste buds of others like a hook.
The soldiers swallowed their saliva and walked forward and said, "How do you sell this?"
Sheng Guoer said: "Master Jun, we are running a small business. Thirty yuan per person is enough for us to eat meat, vegetables and rice!"
"Really!" The soldiers couldn't believe that such a good thing could happen.
Sheng Guoer greeted the passing business travelers and said, "First come, first served. If it's late, it will be gone!"
The business travelers couldn't help but come forward and look at these meals, their mouths watering.
Then, many soldiers and merchants started shouting to pay. For a while, there was a lot of people in front of Sheng Guoer's stall, and the shouts attracted the instructors from the military camp.
"What are you doing!" The burly martial arts instructor stood up.
Sheng Guoer raised his eyes and saw a majestic, middle-aged general in armor standing in front of him.
Qiao Yuanshan stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Martial instructor!"
When the martial arts teacher saw it was Qiao Yuanshan, he said, "Yuanshan, if you don't mine in the mountains, why are you doing these things?"
Qiao Yuanshan said loudly: "Master Wu, brothers are not well fed and clothed, and the same is true for the brothers in the barracks. This girl Sheng Guo'er feels sorry for her brothers and the passing merchants, and sells us some meals at the lowest price. What's the matter? No?"
The martial arts instructor strolled up to Sheng Guo'er, looked the little girl up and down, and said, "Who asked you to sell it here?"
Sheng Guoer was not afraid of him at all. She looked directly at the martial arts instructor and said, "No one, I just think that the brothers are working too hard, so I do this low-cost business. If the general thinks that I have done something wrong, then you can take it from me." stall."
When they heard about guarding the stall, the soldiers had expressions of surprise and reluctance on their faces, because Sheng Guoer's food was so delicious.
The best thing they eat on weekdays is barbecue, but there are so many dishes.
A slippery businessman came forward and said: "Master Wu, this Miss Sheng is also cooking for us. There is no taboo in giving it to businessmen, right? Brothers, we are just joining in the fun to have a taste!"
The martial arts instructor glared at the merchant, then walked to Sheng Guoer's stall and scanned the food with his tiger eyes.
It's indeed much better than the one in the military camp.
But soldiers cannot eat outside without permission. This is a military order.
The martial arts leader is in charge of the military camp here, so he naturally does not dare to neglect and is very strict in everything.
But now these soldiers dare to disobey military orders, which shows that Sheng Guoer's food is indeed delicious, and the food in the military camp does make the brothers vomit.
Sheng Guoer said: "The general knows the art of war better than I do, but I understand the hearts of these young people better than the general."
The martial arts instructor never thought that a little girl could say these words, so he asked: "What do you mean by this?"
Sheng Guoer then said calmly and calmly: "The general must also know the principle of loving soldiers as sons. Isn't the physical health of soldiers very important?"
The martial arts instructor nodded. Sheng Guoer smiled and said, "The meals Guoer cooks are actually very ordinary home-cooked dishes, but why do these military brothers like to eat them?"
The martial arts instructor asked: "Why?"
"That's because it feels like home here!" After Sheng Guoer's words came out, many soldiers were chewing their food, but tears were already streaming down their faces.
Sheng Guoer pointed to the plate of twice-cooked pork and said, "This is where Sichuan girls have their Si Lang complex!"
The soldiers from Kawachi had already begun to cover their faces and sob.
The martial arts instructor smiled and said: "Xiao Nizi, you are so good at talking. If I don't let you set up a stall here, it will seem that I am unkind."
Sheng Guoer cupped his hands and said, "The general is considerate of his subordinates, which is a blessing to the soldiers."
The martial arts instructor took the bowls and chopsticks and said, "I want to taste this place with my brothers!"
When the martial arts instructor finished eating, he suddenly felt his mouth was full of flavor and said, "The craftsmanship is pretty good."
After all the diners finished eating, Sheng Guoer and the guys packed up their things and headed back.
After taking stock, we found that we made a full thirty taels of silver from this trip. After deducting the cost, we made a net profit of twenty-five taels!
Qiao Yuanshan gave a thumbs up and said, "Sure enough!"
Sheng Guoer took out ten taels of silver and said, "We will give this money to the military camp."
The other miners were a little puzzled. Sheng Guoer smiled and said, "Everyone, I have my own reasons. If the military camp doesn't support us, this business will not be able to continue."
The miners thought about it and felt that this was the truth.
Sheng Guoer took Zhou Rui and money to visit the martial arts instructor in person.
After the soldiers ate Sheng Guoer's food, they also had a good impression of her. After word spread, the martial arts leader had people take them into the tent.
Sheng Guoer put the money on the table and said, "This is the food money for today's brothers."
The martial arts instructor and his subordinates all looked at Sheng Guoer in surprise. How could this girl who looked only fifteen years old be so broad-minded and magnanimous?
The martial arts instructor stood up and asked, "Why did you do this?"
Sheng Guoer smiled and said: "You are still here with so few people. It shows that brothers are all real men who protect our family and country. Therefore, it is appropriate for Guoer to reward everyone."
The martial arts instructor asked strangely: "Then why do you still accept our money?"
Sheng Guoer smiled and said: "If I don't accept your money, how will I earn the money from those merchants? You must know that they have more people than you. A caravan must have at least dozens of people. If I take rewards With your flag, do they still dare to come forward?"
The martial arts instructor laughed and said: "What a clever little guy, using us as a signboard!"
Sheng Guoer raised her hands and said, "The general is laughing. Haven't you seen through all my little thoughts? Maybe the general just wanted to make it happen, so he cooperated with me to complete this scene, right?"
After finishing speaking, Sheng Guoer smiled playfully at the martial arts instructor. The martial arts instructor pointed at Sheng Guoer and said, "Who would have thought that a child at such a young age could be so scheming."
Then, the martial arts instructor asked some basic information about Sheng Guoer. Sheng Guoer felt that she would not tell lies in front of a real person, so she told the martial arts instructor the important things about herself.
Naturally, Sheng Guoer did not reveal his plans.
The martial arts leader smiled and said: "Since you are willing to fund the repairs of the military camp and provide us with free food in the future, tell us what you want."
Sheng Guoer said: "The general said this as if I covet you for something."
The martial arts instructor waved his big hand like a cattail leaf fan and said: "Come on, don't talk to me about Yunshan Wuyi. If you have any needs, just tell me. Don't make this matter seem fake."
Sheng Guoer thought to herself that this man was rough but delicate at the same time. He was really extraordinary.
Sheng Guoer smiled and said: "Hey, what can I ask for? You are really worried."
The martial arts leader pondered for a moment and said: "Well, the government is going to attack Shuibo Mountain recently and needs a team of cooks to accompany them. The reward is very high, a full five thousand taels of silver. If you win, you can also get some rewards. "
Sheng Guoer said, "Can you give me some iron ore?"
The martial arts instructor laughed and said: "The kid is quite smart. The matter of iron ore is easy to talk about. As long as you cook for us soldiers of the three armies carefully and let us eat well and conquer Shuibo Mountain, I will give you as much iron ore as you want." I can help you convince your boss!"
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Sheng Guoer was moved, but she remembered that she had once used the name of Shuiboshan Song leader to scare Jin Jiayu, and this time she was going to fight with him. Sheng Guoer did not want to die in the rebellion.
It didn't matter if he didn't make this money, but Sheng Guoer couldn't bear to lose someone who could reasonably and legally obtain the right to mine iron ore.
When he was in a dilemma, an extremely strong golden carp suddenly appeared in front of Sheng Guoer's eyes. The fins were like strong arms.
The fleeting golden carp disappeared at the door.
"Miss Sheng, please go back and think about it carefully, and don't be in a hurry to reply to me!" the martial arts leader looked at Sheng Guo'er with deep meaning in his eyes and said.
Sheng Guoer nodded, turned and left the military camp.
Returning to his residence in the mining area, Zhou Rui said worriedly, "Sister Guo'er, is this possible?"
Sheng Guoer said: "If it doesn't work, it has to work. If we don't improve the farm tools, our capital chain will be interrupted."
"Capital chain?" Zhou Rui asked strangely, "What is a capital chain?"
Sheng Guoer explained: "Although our current sauce business is doing well, it is limited to this small place. I checked the red head account book before. This Jin Jiayu is pure nonsense. The sales in the south have not been opened at all. A few secret recipes In fact, her management of the sauce was a mess, and she didn’t do it at all according to my instructions!”
Zhou Rui also recalled the days when she worked under Jin Jiayu. Jin Jiayu indeed still used the same old business model, with the focus still on the five major families, especially the Wang family.
After listening to Zhou Rui's story, Sheng Guoer said: "So, our relationship with the five major families is average. If we want to completely establish a relationship with them, food alone is only the first step. More importantly, we must Only by mastering some iron tools can they make some products they like."
Although Zhou Rui did not fully understand what Sheng Guoer said, he could basically understand the inner meaning of Sheng Guoer's words.
"So, this trip must be to risk your life?"
Sheng Guoer nodded.
But at this moment, Mrs. Shen suddenly shouted outside the door: "Don't go!"
Sheng Guoer turned around and looked, then sighed, only to see Mr. Shen standing at the door with a serious face, and then said in a stern tone: "How dare you go to war behind my back? It's the hardest thing to fight." Shuibo Mountain!"
Sheng Guoer stepped forward and comforted: "Mom, it's okay, I'm just going to cook!"
"It's just a meal! Stop bluffing me!" Shen sat down on the chair angrily and almost fell down.
"Mom, be careful!" Sheng Guo'er said distressedly, and Mrs. Shen slammed the table and said angrily: "I be careful, you should be careful, you have some skills that will break your ability. I used to I don’t want to talk about you, but now you’ve become even more serious, haven’t you?”
Sheng Guoer hurriedly waved her hand and explained: "I didn't mean that, mother!"
Mrs. Shen pinched her waist and said angrily: "You think you can make a bad amount of money, so you're going to be burned, right? You dare to agree to anything!"
Sheng Guoer said anxiously: "Mom, I didn't agree to it!"
Mrs. Shen pointed at Sheng Guoer's nose and said angrily, "It's not okay even if you have such intention!"
Mrs. Shen then sat on the chair and frowned and said: "Guo'er, what mom told you before was all in vain, right? Our family is doing well now, let nature take its course, let nature take its course. You said you are a girl, If we go to the battlefield and something happens, will your mother survive?"
Sheng Guoer said: "I'm just going to make a meal! Besides, the martial arts instructor will also arrange it properly!"
When she mentioned this, Mrs. Shen immediately became anxious: "You are so powerful now, you dare to be stubborn with me, and you are still as stubborn as before, right?"
Having said this, Mrs. Shen angrily searched privately, and suddenly his eyes fell on a broom.
She stepped forward, picked up the broom, and hit Sheng Guoer with three steps at a time.
While beating and scolding: "I told you to be brave, I told you to be brave!"
Sheng Guoer ran away in a hurry, Shen was chasing after her, and Zhou Rui stopped her in front of Shen.
Shen said breathlessly: "Okay, damn girl, I understand. It's all that Wang who teased you, right? OK, if I don't squeeze out his egg yolks and feed them to the goshawks today, I won't be raised by humans." of!"
As Sheng Guoer listened, she felt that her mother could be so cute and shrewish once she did something for her.
Sheng Guoer said as if coaxing a child: "Okay, okay, is it okay if I don't go?"
Mrs. Shen spat and said, "Don't fool me. If you turn your back, you will forget. I'll find the root of the problem, and I'll have a good fight with him, Coach Hong!"
After saying that, Mrs. Shen held the broom and angrily headed towards the military camp, ignoring Sheng Guoer's obstruction.
