Cheng Chumo observed the furnishings of this store. The various furnishings in this store were quite strange.
There are even some potted plants placed inside the temple.
The wine was brought to the table first. Cheng Yaojin took a sip of the wine first, and then the hot food was served.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Cheng Yaojin not only frowned.
A wooden basin is placed in front of you. It is very large. The largest grid on the basin contains millet rice, some green vegetables, meat with red sauce, and two steamed bun-style things.
The basin is larger than the bowl, so the portion is quite large.
With one basin per person, father and son Cheng Yaojin and Cheng Chumo didn't know how to use chopsticks for a while.
Cheng Yaojin spoke first: "Don't you have a decent bowl?"
"The expenses in the store are relatively tight. This is also what the store ordered, so we can save some money."
"save?"
"Guest, do you think this basin saves four bowls?"
“Can a person eat from a basin?”
"You can also use it as a bowl."
…
Cheng Yaojin and Ding Liu were arguing for a while, and then there was another brief silence.
As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. Cheng Yaojin really wanted to beat up this playful and smiling shop assistant.
Looking at the other person's smiling face, it turns out that he was being unreasonable.
Cheng Yaojin looked at the basin in front of him with a confused look on his face.
Seeing that the customer seemed unhappy, Ding Liu said: "We also have free soup in the store, do you want to try it?"
Cheng Yaojin frowned and said, "Free?"
Ding Liu nodded and said: "This set meal is thirty cents, and the soup is free."
Cheng bit the golden jar and said, "Go and bring it."
"okay."
Ding Liu returned to the kitchen with a stiff smile.
"The two guests outside don't seem very happy."
"There is nothing we can do about it. Who told the store to arrange it like this? Brother Xiao Zhang is not a rich man at first glance. Let's save as much as we can."
"Too."
Ding Liu nodded and served the soup to Cheng Yaojin and Cheng Chumo.
In order to open this store, Brother Zhang saved everything he could, from ingredients to house construction.
Even the bowl is saved.
We finally have two guests, and we can't let them go.
Cheng Yaojin thought that in today's prosperous and peaceful times, there are still shops that can be so poor.
Fortunately, this store is not located in Chang'an City.
If this happened in Chang'an City, his shop would not be destroyed.
Cheng Chumo, who was extremely hungry for a long time, had already begun to eat. While eating, he said: "The meat here is really delicious."
"Yeah?"
Cheng Yaojin suspiciously picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, frowning and tasting, "Huh?"
Then he picked up another bun and bit it.
This bun is very fluffy, and when you take one bite, you will find meat filling inside.
Originally, I came here today to help His Majesty inspect Lishan Mountain in preparation for some days of autumn hunting.
At the end of this mountain tour, the father and son were very hungry.
I have to say that the meat here is quite good.
Special meal.
Cheng Chumo said: "Shopkeeper, do you still have the meat?"
"We are just a small business. We only have this amount of meat per portion. If the customer doesn't eat enough, he can ask for another portion."
Cheng Yaojin said: "I only want this meat, so you won't sell it, right?"
Ding Liu felt like crying, "Guest, our store is small and we can't do much every day. Besides, our store said this is to save food."
"Save food?!"
Cheng Yaojin slapped the case and said: "If anyone dares to waste food, I will look at his head."
"Yes, yes, that's what the general said."
"Do you think I am a waste of food?"
"It doesn't look like it at all."
…
Cheng Yaojin ate the last piece of braised pork and savored the soft braised pork.
Cheng Chumo took another sip of wine and said, "What kind of meat is this, you guys?"
Ding Liu replied: "Braised pork made from pork."
Cheng Chumo looked a little nervous and whispered: "Old man! This is pork."
"Ah."
Cheng Yaojin snorted coldly and glanced at his son with disgust.
"You kid only know the days of prosperity now. During the war, a pig would have been good to eat. It's not like I've never eaten pork. Who says pork can't be eaten."
Ding Liu couldn't help but nod when he heard this. It seemed that the guest in front of him didn't dislike pork.
Recalling those days, Cheng Yaojin sighed again. The days of marching and fighting were hard, food was tight, and dry food was hard to swallow. He was thankful to be able to eat pork.
But the pork in this store is really delicious.
Cheng Yaojin stood up and said: "The army is still waiting for news, so we will go back first."
"Um."
Cheng Chumo drank the drink in his glass and followed Cheng Yaojin out of the store.
The two got on their horses and headed towards Chang'an City.
Until the evening, there were no other customers in the store.
He Bi and Ding Liu sat in front of the store, watching the setting sun shine on the land.
A whole day passed, and only the father and son came to the store to eat.
Not a single guest for a day.
"Brother He, do you think this store will collapse if it can't continue?"
Why bother eating a steamed bun, looking solemn and lost in thought.
Ding Liu said: "How about I go back to Chang'an City to sell cakes."
Why bother to whisper to him: "Do you know how many skills that little brother Zhang still hides?"
Ding Liu couldn't help but shake his head.
Why bother said in a low voice: "Anyway, we didn't contribute the capital. Besides, Brother Zhang also funded the construction of the store."
After saying that, the two of them continued to stare at the sunset in a daze.
In Chang'an City, Zhang Yang calculated his family's money again. After excluding the cost of opening a store, he still had 240 guan at home.
Li Yue held the box containing the money and said, "If you have one hundred guan of money, you are considered rich in Chang'an City."
I have to say that Zhang Yang is very good at saving money.
You can actually save hundreds of dollars by living frugally on weekdays.
The couple prepared a meal by pouring oil on noodles.
Li Yue held the noodle bowl and slurped the noodles, then took out a bunch of copper coins and said, "I asked Aunt Wang to sell the old clothes at home."
Both husband and wife are growing up now.
If you want to grow and develop, how can you not eat meat? At least the food must be good and the necessary nutritional supplements must be in place.
Last year's old clothes will soon become unwearable this year.
Li Yue put the bunch of money in the cash box, and then she returned to her room holding the cash box.
After finishing the noodles in the bowl, Zhang Yang was washing the bowl.
Li Yue poked her little head out of her room and said, "I'll wash it with hot water in the evening. Do you want to wash it with hot water too?"
