The guests at one table had just finished their meal and paid their bills, so Song Qiu and a few people quickly sat in.
"Boss, here are five bowls of hot and sour noodles!"
When Zhou Shitou heard the sound, he turned around and saw Song Qiu and the others. He immediately grinned and asked without putting down the long chopsticks in his hand, "Aqiu, why are you here!"
"Shitou, this business is good!" Song Qiu said with a smile.
The business was indeed good. Zhou Shitou raised his sleeves and wiped his sweat, leaned over and whispered: "In the seven or eight days since we opened, day and night, the money we sold has been more than one hundred yuan a day, regardless of all the capital."
What a profit!”
"It would be better if there were two more tables. Now that we are so busy every day, there are not enough tables to seat us! It's the same at night. My mother and I are discussing whether we should rent another stall!"
One hundred cents a day, if you keep this amount, you will make a profit of more than three taels of silver a month.
If you rent an extra stall, you'll probably get less than two taels, but if you sell even one more tael, you'll still make a profit.
Song Qiu had asked Mr. Li before. He knew that Mancun brought a lot of jelly and shrimps every day, so he knew their business was good. Now he saw with his own eyes the people queuing up to take away the jelly or shrimps.
People know better.
I couldn't help but be happy for Shi Shi, "That's it, it's done, and I feel at ease!"
After all, it was the business she introduced. If it couldn't compare to what he could earn from pulling carts with rocks, then it wouldn't be a fool's errand to work from dawn to dusk.
"Let's cook the hot and sour noodles first. We have to hurry after eating them. When we get back, we can take our time and relax!"
"Okay! Come right away!" Zhou Shitou had already heard that Song Qiu said that he was going to Qingping Mansion. When he saw them coming out, he knew that they were leaving today.
Now stir-fry the hot and sour noodles.
I didn't give him any chance to relax. After cooking Song Qiu and the others five bowls, the guests over there left one table and then another, unable to rest.
Man Ju also took advantage of a break after being busy for a while to take a sip of water and came over to say a few words to Song Qiu before she could take any time off.
Seeing that they were very busy, Song Qiu didn't delay them any longer. After finishing the hot and sour noodles, he put the money on the table and left quickly with a few people without saying goodbye.
After leaving the morning market, we got back the carriage and got on it, then hurried on and headed forward.
In the past few days, Song Qiu had carefully inquired with the merchants in the inn who often took the road to Qingping Mansion, and based on their introduction, he drew a simple map by hand.
I roughly know what places I need to pass through, how far each place is, etc.
After passing Baishui Town, the next town is called Lishui Town, which is nearly forty miles away.
The carriage almost stopped all the way, passing through several villages, and arrived at Lishui Town at about two o'clock in the afternoon.
It was farther than the journey from Songshan Village to Panshi Town. Song Qiu was tired from sitting and was in a hurry to go to the hut.
As soon as we arrived in town, we stopped first when we saw a small restaurant.
The carriage was led by a man who fed the man fodder and water and rested. He would have to go on the road later, fearing that it would not be able to bear the food.
After all, one car pulls five people.
Song Qiu felt much better after going to a hut. When Du Chuanfu and others came out, they also went to the hut. Aling was sitting at the table, ordering dishes with the waiter.
Seeing Song Qiu coming out, he hurriedly said: "Sister Aqiu, I ordered four dishes and one soup, can you see if it's okay?"
"Okay, just keep an eye on it." Song Qiu went over and sat down, poured some water and took a sip.
Five people, four dishes and one soup, just right, no waste.
Song Qiu doesn't have the airs to be a young lady, so there's no reason why she can't sit and eat with her servants. She can come whenever it's convenient when she's away from home.
Eating together like this can save money compared to two tables, so she doesn't choose.
This is a small restaurant, the business is neither salty nor light, it is midday, there are not many tables of customers, so the food is served very quickly.
After eating and sitting for a while, the group continued on their way.
Just past Lishui Town is Tongshui Town. Follow the official road for thirty miles and you will arrive.
The horse has to eat and drink and take a break after traveling for an hour or two, otherwise it will die from exhaustion.
So we stopped at the entrance of the town and found a teahouse to sit, drink tea, take a break, and give the horses a rest.
Just past Tongshui Town is Shunyang County, which is less than thirty miles away.
Shunyang County is a county at the junction of Jingzhou Prefecture and Qingping Prefecture, but it is just a lower county. It is not as good as Dongling County, nor can it compare with Yunshan County, the first county on the boundary of Qingping Prefecture at the boundary of Shunyang County.
.
But it is still a county, not a town.
When the carriage entered Shunyang County, it was still early and the official application had just been made.
If we keep going forward, we will definitely be able to reach the next town before it gets completely dark.
But Song Qiu planned to rest one night in Shunyang County, catch his horse early tomorrow, and then continue to Qingping Mansion.
Therefore, he asked Du Chuanfu to find an inn where he could stay.
During this trip, she brought all her belongings, more than three hundred taels of silver, with her. Among them, she kept three hundred cents worth of silver notes close to her body.
Al-Ling has great martial arts skills, and with three banknotes placed close to his body, there is absolutely no chance of anything going wrong.
She took the remaining dozens of taels of silver into a loose purse, and gave the other fifty taels to Du Chuanfu. Du Chuanfu would be responsible for paying for all the food and accommodation during the trip.
Du Chuanfu is also a stick of tendon meat, and he has a scar on his face. He looks so intimidating that even a thief who has no eyesight will not try to take advantage of him.
Du Chuanfu came back quickly within a quarter of an hour, "Girl, I heard about it, Yuelai Inn is on the street ahead."
Song Qiu nodded, "Okay, let's go forward."
This is what Song Qiu asked the merchants. They often go to these places and know better than she does. Which inn is safe and no problem to live in, which restaurant has good food and reasonable prices. She has inquired and written down carefully.
of.
Although she and Aling are young in their line of work, they look like two little girls, carefree, but the other three, Du Chuanfu, look powerful. Although Meng Chaoqun is a bit gentle, he is tall and strong.
But it's not bad. Ma Liang is also young and strong.
There were no bandit dens along the way to Qingping Mansion, so it was very peaceful.
Song Qiu doesn't have to worry about safety issues.
But be careful of sailing the ship for ten thousand years.
When traveling, food and accommodation are indispensable.
Of course, you have to eat and live with confidence.
She was already very familiar with those businessmen. They recommended the Yuelai Inn in Shunyang County, so she would stay at the Yuelai Inn.
The carriage continued walking a little further, and not far after turning around the street, they saw the signboard of Yuelai Inn.
Right next to the intersection, the two-story building looks a bit old, but it looks like it has been around for a long time.
As soon as the carriage arrived in front of the inn, a waiter came out to greet him.
Meng Chaoqun was responsible for carrying the luggage and handing over the carriage.
Song Qiu and Aling took Du Chuanfu straight to the inn.
I asked for two ordinary rooms, one room plus one bed, which was enough for my stay.
Although the weather was not at its hottest, I felt very tired after a long day's journey. I asked for water, took a shower and changed clothes, before going downstairs to have dinner.
After eating, they went back to their rooms to rest early and get up early tomorrow to go to the livestock market.
