On the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month, even though he worked on the book until the early hours of the morning last night, Xu Jin still got up early because he was moving today, and Xu Jin was also planning to open a trial business this afternoon. Now he didn’t have much money in hand, so he decided to start the next period

The source of income during the period depends on that small shop, so Xu Jin has to be cautious.

Everything is done in advance, otherwise it will be ruined. Shopping malls are like battlefields. Xu Jin never fights an unprepared battle, so while waiting for Old Man Yu to vacate his house, he has already found someone to renovate the store and replace it with new ones.

Tables, stools, tableware, etc. just need to be moved in this morning, and the shop can be opened in the afternoon.

The diligent little girl got up before dawn. After cooking breakfast, she even bought haggis, radishes and other ingredients, and was currently packing her luggage.

"Ms. sir, you studied till late at night and early in the morning last night. Why did you get up so early? You fell ill again!" Xie Xiaowan took some clothes and put them on for Xu Jin.

Xu Jin said with a smile: "My husband is exercising every day now, and his body is much better than before. He is so easy to get sick. Besides, we have to move today. How can we do it if we don't get up to help? My wife will be exhausted and my husband will feel sorry for me!"

Xie Xiaowan rolled her eyes at Xu Jin innocently, and her little face turned red. During this time, the food was ready, and the little girl was obviously plump. Her skin color was no longer the slightly dark and yellowish color when they first met, and her cheeks were girlish.

The unique pink blush makes her look even more beautiful, and her eyes are big and lively.

Xu Jin couldn't help but stretched out his hand and pinched Xie Xiaowan's cheek, which was smooth. The latter gave her husband a shy look, then turned around and brought hot water to wash his face.

Alas, what a fall!

Xu Jin finished washing up under Xie Xiaowan's service, jogging in the courtyard for half an hour as usual, and then reading in the morning. As the saying goes, a year's plan begins in spring, and a day's plan begins in the morning. Morning is the best time for memory.

How can it be wasted?

After breakfast, Xu Jin went to the landlord to clear out the house. Although he only lived there for about ten days, the rent paid was definitely not refundable, but the two hundred cash deposit was refunded.

Fortunately, I didn't have many belongings at home, so I spent ten cents to hire a porter, and he made several trips back and forth to deliver all the belongings to my house in Xishi on a trolley.

This house is much larger, more spacious and brighter than the one we originally rented. The key is that it is our own house.

Xie Xiaowan was so excited that she ran in and out like a little bird. Ever since she sold her land in Xujia Village and moved to the county town, the little girl had been very anxious, worried that she would not be able to stand in the county town in the future, and there was no way out in the village.

If my husband fails the imperial examination, the situation will get worse and worse, and he may end up living on the street.

But now that my family has bought a house and a shop in the county town, and their life is full of hope, the little girl is naturally happy and excited, with happiness written all over her face.

Xu Jin stood in the yard and looked at Xie Xiaowan who was organizing his new home with a smile. His heart was full of warmth, but at the same time he was a little dazed. After traveling through more than five hundred years of time and space, he had a home in the Ming Dynasty, and she was at home.

I wonder how my family members far away in time and space are doing now?

In fact, before Xu Jin traveled through time, his father had passed away a few years ago. He passed away very peacefully at the age of eighty and one. He died a normal life, and a pair of children had already married, and the property left behind was enough for them to live a prosperous life.

Life, so Xu Jin has nothing to worry about for his family on the other side of time and space.

The sun is rising higher and higher, and the sunshine has slightly dispelled the chill. The light snow that fell yesterday has long since melted away.

Xu Jin waved his fist at the rising sun in the sky and lived in the present. He had someone to protect in this life, so he should work hard to live a better life.

…

Opposite the store is the branch of Hengfeng Carriage and Horse Racing Co., Ltd. I heard that the backend is very powerful and almost monopolizes the entire transportation business in Jiangxi, including freight and passenger transportation.

As the New Year approaches recently, the business of carriage shops has become even more prosperous. Some people take carriages to return to their hometowns, and agricultural products from surrounding towns and villages are continuously transported to the city.

Yan Laobian is an old coachman at a horse and carriage shop. He just returned from a nearby town today with a large cart of winter cabbage. After unloading the goods, it was already past noon. He was hungry and walked out of the carriage shop. He habitually walked to the "Yu Ji" opposite.

Go to the noodle shop and prepare a bowl of hot egg noodles in broth to ward off the cold.

However, when Yan Laowen walked to the door and found it locked, he realized that Old Yu had sold the house and moved to Jinjiang, Fujian, a neighboring province, to live in peace and happiness.

Yan Laowang shook his head sadly, regretting that he would never be able to eat a bowl of egg noodles in broth for five cents again. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly sniffed and asked doubtfully: "What does it smell like?"

At this time, bursts of tempting fragrance floated over. Yan Lao, who was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, swallowed his saliva, looked carefully, and found that the fragrance seemed to be wafting from Yuji Noodle House, and quickly

He walked to the door, put his nose to the crack of the door and inhaled hard.

At this moment, a door panel of the store door suddenly opened, and Xie Xiaowan was frightened by the face that stretched out in front of her and screamed back.

Yan Laowei was also startled. When he found out that it was a little girl who opened the door, he laughed awkwardly and said, "Little girl, what is cooking in there that smells so good?"

Xu Jin, who was holding a flag in the back and preparing to hang it in the store, suddenly realized that a customer was coming to the door. He opened the door to see the customer. It was a good sign!

"Brother, are you planning to eat?" Xu Jin came out with a smile. The man in front of him was wearing a shabby cotton-padded jacket, his face was weathered, and his hands were covered with calluses. He looked like the handlebar type of the carriage shop on the opposite side.

Yan Laowei looked around the store and found that the tables and stools were all new and neatly tidied up. He was a little out of habit. He smiled and asked: "Little boss, what do you sell here? Do you have any noodles?"

"Yes, sit inside for a while and I'll get it done for you right away. Xiaowan, give me a bowl of water!"

Recruiting customers is just a piece of cake for Xu Jin, it's so easy!

Yan Laowang hesitated for a moment, then walked into the store and picked a table next to him to sit down. He was secretly wondering, could this new young boss make delicious food at such a young age? But it smelled so good, so he should

It can’t be bad!

Xu Jin hung a small flag with spiced haggis written on it under the lantern outside the store.

Seeing Xu Jin coming back, Yan Laowang couldn't help but ask: "Little brother, what is stewing in your pot that is so fragrant?"

Xu Jin smiled and opened the lid of the pot, revealing a pot of steaming spiced haggis, and the aroma instantly became stronger.

Yan Laowei walked to the pot, took a look, and said in surprise: "Can radish be cooked so fragrant?"

Xu Jin smiled and said: "It's not as simple as a radish. This is my Xu family's unique secret recipe of spiced haggis. Do you want me to pay for a bowl?"

Yan Laowang swallowed hard, nodded and said: "Then give me a bowl, wait...how much does it cost for a bowl!"

"It's not expensive, only ten cents a bowl!" Xu Jin said with a smile.

Yan Laowang couldn't help but rolled his eyes, ten cents a bowl is not expensive? How many kilograms of radishes can be bought with ten cents? You think I'm stupid!

Yan Laowang waved his hand, returned to his seat and sat down. Xu Jin didn't take it seriously, and the lid of the pot was also left open, leaving it open to let the fragrance come out.

"Hey, ten cents, no matter how delicious it is, I won't eat it!" Yan Laowen snorted in his heart, but he swallowed his saliva unsatisfactorily, his stomach growling.

"Little girl, how long will it take for the meeting?" Yan Laowen urged unhappily.

"It'll be ready soon!" Xie Xiaowan was the boss's wife for the first time. She was obviously a little embarrassed and in a hurry.

Xu Jin walked to the stove and said warmly: "Don't be in a hurry, take your time, just treat it as usual!"

Xie Xiaowan smiled sweetly and nodded: "Mr. sir, I can do it!"

Xu Jin originally planned to only sell spiced haggis, but considering that this shop used to sell noodles, if it was discontinued rashly, it would probably lose many regular customers, so he continued to sell noodles as well, just because he was worried that Xiaowan would be too busy by herself.

The noodles were all made in the morning, and the mutton soup was also ready-made, so it didn't take long for a bowl of hot noodles to be ready and served in front of Yan Laowei.

Yan Laowen took a look at the weight, finally nodded with satisfaction and said: "The weight is quite sufficient, but I don't know how it tastes!"

Xu Jin confidently watched Yan Lao move his chopsticks. The soup was mutton stock that had been simmered for several hours, with chives and eggs added. As long as the noodles were not overcooked, the taste would not be unpleasant.

Sure enough, Yan Laowen was obviously very satisfied with the taste. He finished a large bowl of noodles in a few mouthfuls, not even the soup was left. He wiped his mouth and said, "One more bowl!"

Xu Jin secretly gave Xie Xiaowan a thumbs up, and the little girl's eyes suddenly turned into crescent moon buds with laughter, and she exclaimed sweetly: "Wait a moment, old man, I'll be fine soon!"

Then a few more diners entered the store, all ordering noodles. When asked about the price of the five-spice beef offal, they all shook their heads and waved when they heard it cost ten cents a bowl.

Xu Jin was a little depressed. No one cared about his main product, but it was no wonder. The people who came here to eat were all low-class people. They only earned forty or fifty cents a day. You asked him to spend ten cents to eat a bowl of radish.

Definitely not doing it.

"Ms. sir, why don't we just sell noodles from now on!"

The little girl made five business orders in a row and earned twenty-five cents. She smiled like a flower while making dough. She was such an easy-to-satisfy girl.

Xu Jin was naturally not satisfied with this. A bowl of noodles was sold for five cents, and the net profit was less than one cent. He only made more than one hundred cents after selling two hundred bowls a day. It was not worth it to work so hard, let alone just one day.

You may not be able to sell two hundred bowls. In ancient times, there were no ready-made dry noodles for sale. They were all made by yourself and flour, which was extremely time-consuming.

Therefore, Xu Jin estimated that it would be good to sell a hundred bowls a day. At the end of the day, he would be exhausted and the profit would not be enough to make a hundred cents.

"Brother Xu, you didn't say hello in advance when we opened today. It's so boring!"

Xu Jin was busy greeting the customers. When he looked up, he saw the Fei brothers standing outside the store with smiles, followed by two young men, Dabao and Mingyan, the young man who drove the carriage that day.

Xu Jin quickly and enthusiastically welcomed them into the store.
