Transformed into an extremely evil grandmother and fled to escape famine with her children and grand
Chapter 418 Half Street (2)
Li Lanzhen heard the news she wanted to know, paid the money, and went out with two packets of brown sugar.
She was going to see what was going on with the shops on the east side of North Street.
As I walked and looked around, I found that it was just as the old grocery store owner said.
The further east you go on North Street, the less people there are on the street and the more depressed the business becomes.
The waiter standing at the door would ask people to come inside the store when he saw them, and he couldn't wait to pull a customer in.
Li Lanzhen walked to the east end of North Street and felt a little tired. There happened to be a teahouse there, so she went up to the second floor.
The waiter was dozing off at the door. When he saw Li Lanzhen come in, he was so excited that he grinned with joy.
"Madam, please come upstairs. What kind of tea would you like? Would you like some snacks?"
Li Lanzhen smiled and said, "I'll have the best tea from your teahouse, and some of the best dim sum."
"Come on. Please take a seat. I'll bring you tea right away."
She walked up the wooden steps to the second floor, chose a window near the east side of North Street, and sat down.
From this position, you can see the scene on North Street on the left, and you can also see the situation on the mountain on the east side of North Street by looking up.
After a while, the waiter came up with a tea tray.
He came in front of Li Lanzhen with a smile.
"Auntie, this pot of tea is made from new tea leaves we have purchased. It has a delicate fragrance and is very suitable for you.
These two are a plate of broad beans and a plate of fennel beans given by our teahouse. You can try them.
These are our teahouse’s four signature dim sum. Please try them and come back if you like them.
This dish is cloud mud cake."
Li Lanzhen took a look and thought, this is just yam cake, what a nice name.
"Auntie, look, this plate is osmanthus cake, this plate is pea cake, and this plate is acacia cake."
Well, red beans grown in the south are the most nostalgic thing, it is indeed a dish of love cake!
The waiter placed snacks on the table from the tray and introduced the names of the pastries to Li Lianzhen with a smile.
After saying this, he bent down slightly with the tray in his hand.
"Auntie, please enjoy your meal. If you need anything, just call me."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Li Lanzhen gave him five copper coins.
"Waiter, why are the shops on the east side of this street doing so poorly? Also, what do you see on the east side of the street towards the foot of the East Mountain?"
When the waiter saw that Li Lanzhen had given him five copper coins as a reward, he was so happy that he couldn't suppress the upward smile on his face.
If he can bring Li Lanzhen to the second floor to spend some time today, he will get three copper coins as a reward from the boss.
Unexpectedly, Li Lanzhen rewarded him with another five copper coins.
He received a reward of eight copper coins that day.
Immediately he started talking.
"Auntie, our teahouse was very popular three years ago.
Even for supper at night, the restaurant is still full of guests.
Some were talking about business, some were chatting, some were young ladies were inviting their sisters to have some snacks and some tea. Some were ladies were gathering here...
Alas, what a pity! Business has been bad in the past two years.
Our employer has already bought a teahouse on South Street, and we will be ready to move in once the interior is renovated."
Looking at the frowning child, Li Lanzhen asked, "Are you planning to sell or rent out this teahouse?"
"I heard from the boss that he had to sell it, otherwise he wouldn't be able to make money."
"Oh."
After Li Lanzhen finished speaking, she looked up and saw that the end of the street was next to the woods at the foot of Dongshan Mountain.
"Waiter, what's going on over there? It feels like a peach or apricot forest? Why is there so much bushes and it looks so barren?"
The second brother saw Li Lanzhen asking about the woodland and excitedly told her.
“Auntie, you don’t know that our teahouse had good business in the past few years because of this peach orchard.
According to our host, this peach forest has ten acres of land and is called "Ten Mile Peach Forest".
Every spring when the peach blossoms bloom, there is an endless stream of people going out for an outing and flying kites.
At noon, everyone comes to our teahouse to drink tea and eat snacks.
But then, that something,
The waiter looked around, bent down and spoke in a low voice.
"That's it, uncle, since you came here, we've been outing in the spring, sightseeing in the summer, and appreciating the fruits in the autumn.
He always bullies other girls here.
Many people died because of their food abuse.
Later, the ten-mile peach forest gradually became deserted. Look, the weeds and shrubs here are now as numerous as the peach trees.
Every spring, the peach blossoms in the Ten-Li Peach Forest are still in bloom, but fewer people come here to visit.
In recent years, wild beasts from Dongshan Mountain have entered the peach forest and injured people.
People are even more afraid to come.”
Li Lanzhen drank her tea slowly and listened to the second brother talking about the situation in East Street. The more she listened, the happier she felt.
This "Ten Miles of Peach Forest" must belong to her, Li Lanzhen, and this half of the street on the east side of North Street also belongs to her, Li Lanzhen.
This time, the thirteenth concubine of some crappy warlord caused trouble and smashed the people in the store.
Although she was a concubine, she was just a mistress.
Even with this, he could bring soldiers with him, smash his own store and hurt his own relatives!
Apart from the fact that Gu Yuli was an ungrateful bastard, it was also because he was not standing high enough and did not have enough money!
Gotta buy this half street!
If Xuan Shen's information is true, Youzhou City will be bustling again in less than two years.
If a city wants to develop its economy, it must have people.
If so many people migrated into Youzhou City, it would be impossible for the economy not to prosper.
In addition, sweet potatoes and potatoes were spread from Youzhou City.
Starting this summer, Li Lanzhen is planning to promote vermicelli.
This will attract more people.
After drinking two cups of tea, she couldn't say what the tea was called, but it was indeed fragrant and elegant in her mouth.
After eating two snacks, she was ready to leave.
"Xiaoer, thank you so much for today. I'm leaving now."
"Okay, ma'am, I'll pack this snack for you to take away."
"No, I'll leave it for you to eat."
"Thank you, Auntie. Take care. Come back next time."
The second brother’s mouth was grinning from ear to ear.
My sister is craving for the snacks in the teahouse.
But snacks are very expensive. With a month's salary, I can only buy some brown rice, which is enough for a family of several people to eat with some wild vegetables to only be half full.
Where would I get the money to buy snacks in the teahouse?
When the teahouse business was booming, the ladies, young ladies or gentlemen would give him the leftover snacks as rewards, and he could take them home to satisfy his sister's craving.
Business has been bad in the past three years. No customers come.
This lady today is really generous and kind.
Look, there are two plates of snacks here that I gave to myself without even touching them.
So he accompanied Li Lanzhen all the way down the teahouse and to the door, waving from afar and calling on Lanzhen to come again next time.
