MTL - Rebirth Married The Control Group Fulang-Chapter 86
"Oh, the other side of the tea shed is very busy today. Mrs. Xu, why don't you go and see the excitement today?"
Liu Xianglan went out with a basket in her arms early in the morning, and along the way she ran into several villagers rushing towards the tea shed.
The guest house at the other end of the tea shed opened today, and all the idle folks wanted to go and have a look. Liu Xianglan likes to join in the fun the most, so she doesn't want to go, but she just rushed to Fei's house to take care of Xu Shaochun.
Now that she is the eldest grandson, and her daughter is in confinement, she is afraid that Fei's mother will refuse to serve the confinement. When Xu Shaochun fails to sit properly, the root cause of his illness will be left behind. Then Fei Lian will not have a home in the school, so he has to be from his mother's family. bother.
"Aunt Qiu, you go, I'll be there later."
The woman was pulling a three or four-year-old child, and she was a little disappointed that she didn't find a companion, but she didn't say anything: "I heard the sound of firecrackers, so I'll go first."
The Tangjiaba watermelon garden was opened. An announcement was made in the city a long time ago, and people were invited to tell it that there were quite a lot of people traveling in the city today.
The riders with sedan chairs and carriages came out of the city and stopped at the tea shed to rest. However, at the end of the day, there were a dozen or so carriages parked in the open space at the end of the tea shed, and the business in the tea shed was booming, and when I had a rest, I could take a stroll at the small stalls next to it.
Whether they rented stalls to sell fruit or cold water, they were all shouting and calling for customers, and the representatives of each village even passed around to passers-by, trying their best to introduce their villages.
Xu He came over early in the morning, and the two children were placed in the pavilion in the middle of the guest house to watch the big koi, and Wenzi was guarded. On the one hand, Xu He had to greet the guests, and on the other hand, he had to collect the money from the stalls that came to rent the stalls today. It was like Tianjie, and the rent was only ten cents a day.
The villagers thought it was too expensive, so they got together to negotiate the price with him, so Xu He filed a price lawsuit with them.
The mouth is dry all morning, and the summer is so hot that it is even hotter.
Zhang Fangyuan is even more busy, he has to organize the carriages and donkeys that come from the city. These wealthy people will stop the carriages and horses randomly if they don't pay attention to the servants, not to mention occupying the position very quickly. If there are too many people, the horses may be frightened They also bumped into people, so they had to go fiercely to maintain order.
"It looks like there are quite a few places where you can have fun."
"That's right, the guest officer will rest in our guest house for two days. On this day, I will go to Tangjiaba to pick cold melons. There is a melon-eating competition at the other end. You can go and see the excitement. Have fun and return in two or three hours. , have a supper in the guesthouse to escape the summer heat at night, and there are special dishes this time. Such as cold melon with salad, spicy fried sour melon, fried cold melon cake, cold melon stewed chicken, cold melon stewed pork ribs..."
The guy who was talking about the Sandi Sutra was about to drool, so he stopped in time and said, "Tomorrow, you can go to the Guanyin Temple to burn incense sticks. I heard that Master Baozhen and Master Qingyun are both in the Guanyin Temple recently. It is good not to burn incense for fortune-telling After burning incense, you can also drop by the Xinlong Tea Plantation. Although the tea leaves have already been harvested at this time, the scenery on the top of the mountain is infinitely beautiful. Beautiful."
A few young men who came from the city sat in a group: "It's a lively arrangement, and there's a lot of food. Is it possible to go on horseback?"
"The roads are spacious, and you can go by horseback. As long as you go to the village, the horses don't trample on the crops."
Several people in the city were moved by the words, and the staff immediately led them upstairs to see the room.
The scholars who came here were directly attracted by the Qushui Liucup in the yard, ordered a few plates to eat, and ate cold melons, using summer as the topic, and it soon became lively.
"Tangjiaba has a lot of tourists this year. It is still popular to grow fruit trees. For a while, there are loquats, winter melons, and red bayberries. Every household earns a lot of money. Even Hongshi Village, which was the first to attract tourists, can't compare."
"That Hongshi Village is suitable for spring and autumn, and other seasons are not as good as Tangjiaba."
"The three villages have all made things to attract tourists. The reason is that our village does not earn any money now. I am afraid that growing cold melons is better than it is now. It is not for planting mulberry trees to dig fish ponds. See if someone buys it now."
A few villagers from Jijiu Village gathered at a table outside the tea shed, drinking some tea and watching the bustle here, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"If you say that Zhang Fangyuan asked our village to do all these tricks for the purpose of building a guest house for himself, look, waves of tourists have come to his guest house. The Zhang family is earning a lot of money."
"Oh, each has its own profit."
The business was good on the opening day of the inn, more than half of the more than twenty rooms were occupied, and only four or five were left.
At night, there are people who eat at this side of the guest house, and those who eat at the tea shed. There are kitchens on both sides.
There were a lot of visitors, and Xu He's pot dishes came in handy.
Previously, a row of shelves was set up next to the wall of the tea shed, and jars of vegetables were placed on the shelves next to each other, so that they could be seen when entering the tea shed, which played a decorative role.
The common people live in affluence, so they love elegance, and they pay attention to everything that is pleasing to the eye. In the past two years, the end of the tea shed has also been tidying up and decorating, unlike the luxury in the city, but it has the characteristics of being close to the village.
Now visitors from the city will ask for anything strange.
"They're all homemade local dishes. They're also on the menu. If you like them, you can try them out."
The guests in the city looked at the dazzling array of jar dishes on the menu, and wanted to try them all, so Xu He went to a big flower plate, took out all the jar dishes and put them together into a plate, so that the amount of each dish was not too much, and it was also delicious. Can all pay off the taste.
"wonderful!"
Xu He cut another double plate, salted duck eggs and preserved eggs.
The tourists in the city wanted to pester Xu He to explain the jar dishes, so he simply sat down and said a few more words to the tourists: "The jar vegetables have been stored for a long time, and they were originally used to make food for passers-by who traveled far away. Shopkeepers love to buy them when passing by. It’s better to eat a jar on the road, and it tastes better when it’s sandwiched in steamed buns.”
"It's not easy to go out to earn a living. It's better to eat jar dishes, and I also care about the village."
"Although the dish is made for convenience, the taste is not inferior to freshly prepared side dishes." The man who claims to be elegant and able to live a life waved his fan: "When I return to the city tomorrow, I will also bring two jars back."
"Brother Yun, wouldn't it be good to prepare for the two altars when rushing for the exam?"
"Exactly what you said."
Seeing the people chatting and laughing at the table, Xu He withdrew and started entertaining other guests.
He found that the guests from the city were not like the guests from the village here. Those who came from the city liked some rare wild vegetables when they came to the tea sheds, and the fungus and bamboo shoots were very popular.
And ordinary people with flat heads like to eat some delicious dishes when they come here, such as braised meat, fried meat, chicken and duck, etc.
Simply these tea sheds have.
After a busy day, Zhang Fangyuan and Xu He didn't finish their work until the end of the month.
After having dinner in the tea shed, the two cubs played in the empty room of the guest house for more than an hour, and now they are fast asleep in the guest house.
The couple hugged one each, stuffed the little guy into the carriage, and pulled them back together.
After returning home and setting up the children, Zhang Fangyuan and Xu He didn't sleep, so they lit the lamp and spread out the accounts.
In the past two years, the construction of the guesthouse and tea shed did not cost less money, and the investment alone was hundreds of taels of silver. Fortunately, the shops in the city have a good business, and the Yaxiang chips are very popular among the merchants. They took away a lot of goods and made a lot of money, just enough to fill in the money for the construction of guest houses.
In addition to this large expense, mulberry trees were planted in the village, and the family also opened a fish pond.
For a long time, we have spent a lot of money and invested a lot, and now it is finally time to make money, and the couple can't wait.
Xu He said while making calculations: "In guest houses, there are three upper-class rooms at 200 renminbi, ten rooms at 160 renminbi in the middle class, and seven rooms at 80 renminbi in the lower class. The total is 2,760 Ten words."
"Today the tea shed totaled 1,800 renminbi, and today the rental stall earns 120 renminbi, and the previous monthly rent is not included in today's calculation." Zhang Fangyuan flipped through the account books and read to Xu He.
He was silent, and said in unison with Xu He: "Four thousand six hundred and eighty characters."
Xu He laughed: "You can calculate quickly, you don't even need to use an abacus."
"It's too much to count." Zhang Fangyuan wrote a few strokes in the account book: "Today's income is not bad. If it is like this every day, it will be much better than the business of shops in the city."
Xu He was very sober and said: "Where is there such a good thing, let alone take four thousand taels based on today's income, four taels of silver a day, and one hundred and twenty taels a month. Even the big restaurants may not be able to keep up with this income."
Zhang Fangyuan leaned back, and the wind blew around at night, making people feel comfortable and cool.
With the back of his head resting on his palm, he said relaxedly, "I've been busy for so long, why can't I be pretty?"
Seeing that he finally made money, Xu He was also very happy in his heart. He tidied up his abacus and account books: "It's not too much to say, half of the income we calculated every month would be great."
Now Linglong shop has thirty or forty taels of income per month. Originally, they used to have a small shop and paid five hundred cash per month in taxes. Later, someone was jealous of their business and reported it to the county government. The county government also felt that they rented a shop. It costs a few taels of silver, and the monthly income cannot be less than ten taels, so it has risen to a monthly tax of five thousand wen.
Although this is the case, who doesn't want to earn more money and pay less court taxes.
Now that the guest house has been built, it must not be able to avoid the tax of five thousand cash per month. Adding up the two shops, they have to pay 10,000 Wen for taxes alone.
Xu He whimpered: "The more you earn, the more you spend."
Zhang Fangyuan smiled and said, "If we earn more than fifty taels a month, the tax will be higher than five thousand taels, eight thousand."
"I've figured it out a long time ago. If we can't pay the tax of 8,000 yuan, our business at the tea shed will not be so good every day. It will only be better when the temple fair is open."
"It's still your calculation that is accurate."
Xu He turned to Zhang Fangyuan and said, "However, I think there is a good sign today. People in the city like my pot dishes very much. Preserved eggs and salted eggs are both good. Our chickens and ducks lay a lot of eggs, so you can eat them." Do it in batches."
He patted the hands of the people beside him flatteringly: "Why don't you run a business for me again and ask the restaurants and tea shops in the city if they have any willingness? We can also provide jars for brushing teeth like other shops." Vegetables and preserved eggs."
"Just take a break." Zhang Fangyuan looked at Xu He: "Aren't you tired of taking those two little guys?"
"There are people at home to help take it, so I don't get tired."
Zhang Fangyuan stretched out his hand to pull the man over, and kissed him: "Okay, I'll go to the general manager, right? I'll go to the city to run business for you after two days of Fei's wine. I'll keep an eye on Two days of business in the tea shed and inn."
Xu He was elated: "Okay."
