It really can’t be determined before the application time.
In addition, the days are long and the nights are short in summer.
Mung bean paste cannot be made, and the same goes for jelly.
Song Qiu looked around and went back to the kitchen to make a large pot of cold shrimps.
The cold shrimps are cooked quickly, and they will be ready immediately after being soaked in water.
It’s a big pot, and if it can’t be sold out later, I won’t be afraid to spend the night with a bowl each.
At the end of the day, all the guests in the inn had left, and there were only a few people left in the tea shed.
Song Qiu simply made a large portion of twice-cooked pork and served each person with a bowl of rice, which was considered lunch.
After lunch and everything was tidied up inside and outside, everyone had to sit down and have a good rest.
By this time, there were fewer people in the tea shed.
Gradually, people passing by came in to have a bowl of herbal tea or a bowl of cold shrimp.
At the beginning of Youchu, the sun slowly moved to the west, and the official roads on the left and right became quiet.
It is estimated that not many people will pass by this point.
Just try your luck and see if there will be accommodation today.
Song Qiu then asked the tea shed to be tidied up first.
The cold shrimps I made later were also sold out, and there were only a dozen small steamed buns left in the tea shed, as well as two large bowls of mung bean porridge.
The tea shed was packed up, and all the things that needed to be moved were moved in. Even when we arrived at Youzheng, no one came. It seemed that no one would stay here today.
Song Qiu had been cooking for lunch, but now he really didn't want to do anything, so he just said that Liu had cooked a few dishes and was ready for dinner.
We had agreed before that if we came to work before dawn, the inn would provide breakfast, lunch and dinner, and we could leave work after dinner.
So the Liu family and the Jiang family expressed to Song Qiu that they wanted to go back to have dinner directly from work.
When Song Qiu heard this, he immediately understood.
She asked the Liu family and the Jiang family to work, and she found out clearly that these two people were old and young, and their lives were not easy.
I won’t talk about breakfast and lunch. It’s understandable if you want to go home for dinner.
He immediately agreed, allocated meals to the two of them, and asked them to pack them up and take them back.
Of course, the packaged food is only enough for two people, no more will be available.
As time goes by, people's hearts become accustomed to them, and they become accustomed to them.
She could be accommodating and ask them to bring their own dinner back to eat, but she would not let them bring more, otherwise, as time goes by, those who have no thoughts will also have thoughts.
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Jiang did not expect that their host girl would agree to bring their own food home for them to eat. They were very happy and grateful at the moment. They happily said that they would come early tomorrow, and then they went back to the village together.
There is little oil in the house, and there are people who have not seen meat for a month. They come here to work. They eat meat buns for breakfast and meat for lunch. They can take the food back to their families in the evening and let them eat it every day.
The meat tastes fishy.
Even if there is no meat, the oil and water are much better than those at home.
The most important thing is that the host girl is willing to provide this convenience to them, and the two of them are extremely grateful.
When they got home, their family members saw that they had brought home food. Although it was not much, the food was enough for one person to hold two chopsticks.
Good things like this are hard to find anywhere else.
Both families told them to work hard at the inn and not to lose this good job.
When night fell, the inn was tidied up inside and outside, lanterns were hung at the door, and the front door and the backyard door were closed.
Song Qiu took a shower, changed clothes, and came out of the lobby feeling cool and refreshed.
In the lobby, an oil lamp was lit. It wasn't very bright, but I could still see things clearly.
Meng Chaoqun was placing the accounts behind the counter. When he saw Song Qiu coming out, he took out the account book and gave it to Song Qiu to read.
"Girl, this one belongs to the inn, and today I have received a total of two or three yuan. This one belongs to the tea shed, and the tea shed has received a total of eight hundred and thirty cash today."
Adding up the two compartments, the income is more than three taels. After excluding the cost, the profit is quite good.
It was a great success on the first day of opening.
Song Qiu was very satisfied. He closed his notebook and began to write and calculate his own accounts.
This time she went out with a total of more than 360 taels of silver.
The food, drink, accommodation and two horses along the way cost almost forty taels.
I bought this inn and saved a lot of money.
I only spent money to buy land and a few things that I should have bought, which totaled only a dozen taels.
At present, she still has three hundred taels of silver notes left untouched, but the inn is already open. This result was something she really didn't expect earlier, and she was very lucky.
I thought it would cost half.
Now that there are so many left, she is very satisfied.
I have enough money left in my hand. After this trip, I can do more.
After all, it’s not easy to go out.
Song Qiu pondered like this for two days, and the Crescent Inn was on the right track in an orderly manner. He got up early and stayed late every day, and was very busy.
On this day, I happened to meet Hou Sange and his party who were returning from Suzhou and passing through Crescent Bay.
They had imported a lot of goods from Suzhou and wanted to bring them back to the south for sale, and they had a busy schedule.
Song Qiu left them to rest for the night, and that night he carefully explained the matter of Du Chuanfu's return.
During this trip, in addition to asking him to go back to fetch the Zhong family and others, he was also asked to bring a message back to tell her grandmother, Yuan, what was going on here, so that she wouldn't worry.
As for their return date, I guess it will have to be moved back.
By the way, I'll bring some bean paste, dried chili peppers and vermicelli.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Du Chuanfu rode away with Hou Sange and others.
The horse he was riding did not drive the carriage. Song Qiuye told him to leave the horse at home when he returned, buy a carriage and hitch it for her milk, and then drive the mule carriage with a hood to pick up Zhong and the others.
When the time comes, the mule cart will be left at the Crescent Inn for Meng Chaoqun and the others to use.
On their return journey, it was still a carriage.
Good horses are hard to buy, so of course she takes them away.
With Du Chuanfu gone, there was one less busy person in the inn. Aling and Jiang were in charge of the tea shed every day. Occasionally, they could come in and help serve the dishes with their hands empty. Ma Liang, in addition to arranging the carriages and horses, also had to run the hall and greet the guests.
Meng Chaoqun, the shopkeeper, is also busy passing out and serving dishes.
Of course, he didn't hesitate, after all, even the owner was doing the cooking himself.
Business is not always good every day, but I am only busy for a while, and I don’t feel strenuous at all.
On this day, the Crescent Inn had been open for seven days and finally welcomed guests, and there were more than one guest.
There is a lot of rain in summer, and the formation is short. It is common to have one in the morning and another in the afternoon. Every time, even the mud on the ground only wets the surface a little.
It rained heavily just after Shenshi, and the guest rooms on the second floor of Crescent Inn were opened.
A group of six people requested three side rooms.
Either it doesn't open, or once it opens, it has three rooms.
One hundred and eighty cents for three rooms, plus the expenses for at least one dinner and one breakfast, it's quite a lot of money today.
Song Qiu was very happy.
What was even more exciting was that not long after, another group of guests came to stay.
There were quite a lot of people in this group, a dozen or so on fast horses and three carriages.
The middle-aged man who came in first, surrounded by guards, had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. He was full of aura that should not be underestimated. At first glance, he was someone special.
What's even more strange is that the horse behind the carriage was unloaded, and the carriage was carried into the inn by four guards.
It's like the people in the carriage are shady.
What made Song Qiu a little confused was that a woman came in behind the carriage that was being carried in. This woman looked very familiar to her.
For a moment, she thought about who this woman was, but she looked at her and then lowered her head, as if she didn't know her at all.
