A time-travelling peasant girl becomes a wealthy woman
Chapter 19: Flavor of the City
Huang Bo and He Hui Niang looked at each other in bewilderment. They didn't know how to do business, but their daughter and the second son spoke in a coherent manner, and they both had always had their own ideas, so they didn't object to letting them try.
As for Huang Jinlin, his second brother and sister said it was feasible, and he only had to cook the food well and he didn't need to worry about anything else.
The group walked around for a while. This time they didn't want to buy anything, they just wanted to look around. Around noon, they took a bus back home.
More than half a month later, Huang Jinlin's cooking skills improved by leaps and bounds under the guidance of his sister, especially some of the special dishes in the lunch boxes mentioned earlier, the taste of which was no worse than that of a chef.
He has such cooking skills at the age of seven, which is quite amazing.
Huang Mulin felt that if it weren't for her golden finger, she would never be able to catch up with her fourth brother's talent.
On this day, He Hui Niang was going to the town to hand in her embroidery, and Huang Bo and Huang Mulin followed her. The remaining children worked at home, or like Huang Jinlin, they studied dishes on their own.
Yang Lijun was just checking the accounts at the counter. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Huang Bo protecting He Huiniang with the tender little girl in his arms. She immediately stopped what she was doing, walked up and took Huang Mulin away.
This has become a routine.
"I was thinking you should come over these two days." Yang Lijun said with a smile, "Mu Mu has grown up a little, and he is heavier-handed than last time."
"Yes." Huang Mulin said sweetly, "Fourth brother has been cooking delicious food recently, and Mu Mu has gained weight."
"It's better to be fatter. People with more flesh are more cute." Yang Lijun teased her for a while before turning around and saying to He Huiniang who was standing beside her, "The last matter is done. Let's go to the backyard."
He Hui Niang and Huang Bo's faces lit up with joy, but they immediately calmed down, and the others didn't have time to see clearly.
Huang Bo continued to wander around by himself, and He Hui Niang followed him to the backyard.
Yang Lijun was very satisfied with the couple's performance. They knew how to keep secrets and were neither arrogant nor impatient. They were people worth helping.
Yang Lijun asked the mother and daughter to wait in the reception room while she went back to the bedroom to get the money.
"Here is one thousand two hundred and eighty taels."
Yang Lijun handed over a few silver bills and silver ingots.
"The two golden beads were sold for 500 taels each, for a total of 1,000 taels. The flawless milky white beads were sold for 20 taels each, so the fourteen beads were sold for 280 taels. As for the remaining five beads that were not good in quality, I gave them as a bonus to the dealer who helped sell them. Do you think it's a good deal?"
He Hui Niang was stunned when she said the amount.
One thousand two hundred and eighty taels! ?
This was much more than she had expected!
As soon as Yang Lijun finished speaking, He Huiniang came to her senses and hurriedly took the money, saying repeatedly: "It's appropriate, it's appropriate, this reward is what I deserve for asking someone to do something for me."
Besides, to be able to sell it at such a price, Yang Lijun and the other party must have put a lot of thought into it, so how could they not be satisfied?
Yang Lijun nodded, very satisfied with He Huiniang's understanding.
"If we have money, we can open a stall!"
Huang Mulin cheered.
"Open a stall?"
Yang Lijun was curious.
"Yes! My fourth brother cooks delicious food. We are going to open a food stall at the dock."
"It's not easy to do business at the pier. There are a lot of food stalls there."
"It's okay, the food my fourth brother cooks is different from theirs!"
"Oh?" Yang Lijun couldn't help but pinch the girl's chubby face, "What's the difference?"
"It's just different." Huang Mulin snorted, "Wait until Fourth Brother opens a stall and Mumu brings some food to Auntie, and you'll know!"
"Then I'll look forward to it."
Yang Lijun thought, since they had just earned a sum of money that an ordinary farmer could not spend in a lifetime, they might as well try doing some small business and not be afraid of losses.
Moreover, this family's attitude towards this huge unexpected wealth is rare in the world.
There were two silver notes of five hundred taels, five notes of fifty taels, and three silver ingots of ten taels each. He Hui Niang asked Yang Lijun to exchange all the silver ingots for small change so that she could use it to make up for the loss when buying things.
A ten-liang silver ingot was too conspicuous for farmers like them.
He Hui Niang stuffed the banknotes into the small pocket on the lining and kept it close to her body. There was a lot of small change, so she divided it into three parts with a piece of cloth and put it all in the bundle.
After finishing their business and saying goodbye to Yang Lijun, Huang Bo and his wife went to North Street as Huang Mulin requested.
North Street is full of big shops, and rich families live and travel on this street. The decoration is more than one level higher than that of the East, South and West Streets, and it feels like entering another small town.
North Street occupies almost half of the land in Linhai Town. There are all kinds of shops on both sides of the avenue. In the side streets or alleys, there are not only smaller bookstores, musical instruments, antiques, tea shops, etc., but also the houses of wealthy families are in the inner alleys.
The private school in the town is in the alley of North Street.
For farmers like Huang Bo's family, basically no one would walk in and hang out openly.
Farmers and butchers who deliver vegetables and meat to restaurants and large households would deliver them to the back door at dawn when there were few pedestrians on the street. After unloading and counting the goods and taking the money, they would leave immediately and would not hang around.
Firstly, I can't afford to go shopping, and secondly, the waiter's contemptuous look is irritating.
Huang Bo and his family didn't care about the surprised and scrutinizing looks from some people around them. They exchanged a few words from time to time, and their impression of North Street became clear.
Not to mention Huang Mulin, Huang Bo and He Huiniang had lived for more than 20 years and this was their first time coming to North Street.
In the past, people would go to South Street to buy daily necessities and East Street to buy farming tools. The street they arrived at every time by ox cart was West Street. Livestock, vegetables and other food were all on West Street. It was the nearest town to Taiping Township.
Another entrance to the town is on North Street, where wealthy families and out-of-town merchants come in and out.
"Dad," Huang Mulin pointed to a restaurant called "Wei Man Cheng," "Let's go have a meal."
Huang Bo took a look and hesitated.
This store looks expensive.
"Are you hungry, Mumu?"
It is now around the end of the Si hour, so after having a meal we should be able to catch the ox cart back home in time.
"I want to know how big the difference is between the food cooked by the chef of the big restaurant and the food cooked by my fourth brother."
Huang Bo and his wife understood that their daughter wanted to find out the inside story of the fourth child in the family.
There was nothing to think about, so they walked into Weimancheng with their daughter in their arms.
There are already several tables of diners in the restaurant. As it gets closer to noon, there will be more and more customers. The waiter is also standing at the door to receive guests at any time.
At this moment, he saw the couple he had been staring at walking towards him with their baby girl in their arms.
Although the waiter was curious, he immediately smiled and greeted them due to his job: "Hello, would you like to eat?"
"Yeah." Huang Mulin spoke first: "Mumu is hungry and wants to eat."
When the little girl wears a face scarf and looks at you with her big round eyes, it is really irresistible.
"Okay, please take a seat, sir." The waiter led them inside. "Would you like to sit in the middle or by the window?"
"Over there." Huang Mulin pointed to the window, which was just the right position to see all the shops stretching across North Street.
"Okay, please follow me."
