Traveling back to ancient times to make money and raise children is also free

Chapter 53: The Hot and Sour Vermicelli Restaurant Opens

There were more than a dozen people, and we rented four cars. When we tied our luggage and got in the car, everyone was surprised that there were two more people in the team. I explained that one of them was a friend with a child who wanted to go with us. Everyone was just surprised for a moment, and then got in their own car.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and everyone's hearts are already at home, with too much time to pay attention to other things.

The wheels were rolling, the cold wind was howling, and the boss of the carriage wanted to come back early because the weather was about to change and it would be too troublesome if it snowed heavily.

We didn't stop for lunch at noon, we just ate some steamed buns and drank some water in the car. Finally we arrived in the town in the afternoon.

When I passed by Brother He's house, I left two portions of the cakes I had bought for the two little girls. We agreed that they would come over to play when they had time. Then I took Liu Niang and Chu Niang back to the small house.

Xiuwen and Xiaobao hadn't come back yet, so I opened the door to the small courtyard. The inside was very tidy, and there were cabbages, green onions, radishes, and even lettuce planted in the small vegetable garden next to the wall.

There are two more people living in the house, and there are still so many vermicelli at home. Fortunately, most of the sweet potatoes have been used up, and Xiaobao's room is partially empty. Let them stay there for one night. Tomorrow, we can clean up the room behind the store.

After cooking, I went outside to buy some pork and a few pieces of tofu. I came back and pulled a cabbage and made some stir-fried pork with peppers, spicy tofu, and stir-fried cabbage. Xiuwen and Xiaobao came back just as I finished.

As soon as he saw me, Xiaobao ran over and hugged my waist: "Mother, mother, when I was still on the street, I smelled the fragrance of my house, and I knew it must be mother who came back. Mother, do you think I am powerful?"

I was amused by this little flatterer: "Yes, yes, Xiaobao is the best. If he's not good, how can he be my mother's Xiaobao? Hahaha."

Xiu Wen smiled and knocked Xiao Bao on the head: "Little flatterer, mother, you have worked hard all the way."

I said, "You won't have to work hard when you get home. Come and have dinner with us. I'll introduce two people to you. Liu Niang, Chu Niang, these are my two sons. The elder one is Xiu Wen, also called Da Bao, and the younger one is Qi Wen, also called Xiao Bao. Xiu Wen and Qi Wen, these are Liu Niang and his son Chu Liang. They will stay in our house for a while."

Liu Niang: "Hello, gentlemen. Yun Liu Niang greets you two."

Chu Liang: "Chu Liang meets the two gentlemen."

Xiu Wen: "Then I will call you Sixth Aunt from now on, and you don't have to call us Master, just call me Xiu Wen and Xiao Bao."

Xiaobao: "So your name is Chu Liang. I will be 11 years old in a few days. How old are you? You look so small. ... Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, I will skip a lot of words now."

The two little brats played with a lot of things at once.

After dinner, I wanted to go to the store to take a look, and Liu Niang wanted to go with me. After resting for a day or two, Liu Niang had no problems except that she was a little thin, so I agreed to let her go to the store with me.

When I opened the door, I saw that the shop was very empty with only some unwanted things thrown inside. I rolled up my sleeves and cleaned it up with Liu Niang, throwing away all the unwanted things.

When I got home that day, I drew a few tables for guests to eat at, not the square tables or large round tables used in ancient restaurants, but the small rectangular tables commonly seen in modern times.

I remember that Grandma Wang's son, Wang Shu, was a carpenter. I took the blueprint to find Wang Shu and asked him if he could make it.

Wang Shuyi agreed and asked, when do I need it? "The sooner the better. Make ten tables and 40 stools first. If they are not round, make four or five first, and match them with the cushions. One table and four stools."

Wang Shu: "If you need it urgently, I'll call my eldest brother-in-law over. He and his son both do this."

Me: "That's even better. Call them over. And by the way, can you calculate how much silver it will cost to package the wood?"

Wang Shu: "If you don't require high-grade wood, but only fir, you can make two sets for one tael of silver. With a cubicle inside."

Me: "Okay, I'll leave a deposit of two taels of silver with you first, Brother Wang, I trust you to do the work, then I'll go back first."

Wang Shu: "Okay, we'll start working right away. We'll send you four sets in three days at most."

Me: “Okay, thank you for your help.”

I left my address and went back to town.

Next, I took Liu Niang to buy bowls, chopsticks, and spatulas, and pickled a large jar of sour radish. It was impossible to buy fresh peppers to make sour peppers in this season, so I used sour radish to replace the sour taste.

On the fourth day, Wang Shu delivered four sets of benches, and my kitchen had been completely renovated. Each set of tables, chairs and benches was in a cubicle, which provided both privacy and space.

Liu Niang is a treasure, she is a great painter. In every cubicle, Liu Niang painted a picture and carefully painted it with flowers. In an instant, this hot and sour noodle restaurant has a more elegant atmosphere.

The name of the store is also very simple, just the correct word: Hot and Sour Restaurant.

On the day of Laba, we finally opened the restaurant. There was no big opening ceremony. I just fried a big pot of hot and sour vermicelli. I divided it into small bowls and asked Xiuwen and Liuniang to give them to people to taste. There was not much business in the morning, but we made money in the afternoon and the restaurant was full.

When I got home and counted the money in the evening, my goodness, after deducting expenses, I made a net profit of ten taels.

My hot and sour vermicelli restaurant is officially opened.
