Chapter 43 Salted Fish

Jiang Yuexuan took out a few clean glasses from nowhere, and everyone who could drink poured a glass on the spot to taste.

Others have never drank the fine wine sold in Sister Xuan's shop, so they are not sure whether this wine comes from the No. [-] Restaurant.It was Sister Xuan herself who nodded after drinking and gave official approval.

"It's the cheapest one in the store, and it shouldn't be watered down."

It would be too wicked to change the small pot to double the price and add water, and it would also affect the reputation of her restaurant.Now that he is sure that he is a moral businessman, Jiang Yuexuan doesn't plan to care about it.

In fact, strictly speaking, hawkers are not considered scalpers.If he buys the wine and sells it at the door of the No. [-] restaurant, so that those customers who can't go in to eat because of limited seats directly buy high-priced wine from him, this is considered a scalper.

But the other party just transported things to a relatively distant place for sale, so this is a normal business behavior.Isn’t that what businessmen are by nature?There is no such thing in the current area, so I went to the place of origin to purchase and sell it to the locals.

"Let's go, we should go back." Jiang Yuexuan said.

As soon as the words were finished, a group of scholars came, one of them was clearly dressed in luxurious clothes, he should be a son of a rich family.He doesn't have the temperament to study hard, and he was forced into the academy by his family to study hard.

A few scholars with flattering smiles gathered around the rich young man. When the group passed by, they just heard the cries of fine wine and smelled the aroma of wine, and suddenly couldn't move.

"Is it actually the fine wine from the No. [-] Restaurant? I've heard about it a long time ago, but I didn't expect to meet someone selling it here." One person said with emotion, but it was a pity that he was too short-pocketed to afford it.

The other person intended to flatter the rich man, so he answered immediately: "I heard that brother Lu came from Naling City, he must have been to the No. [-] Restaurant and tasted the delicious wine there."

Mr. Lu waved his folding fan triumphantly, completely disregarding the severe winter and the twelfth lunar month: "It's only natural, I have tasted all the fine wines in the building."

"How do you say that? Could it be that the No. [-] Restaurant has many different kinds of fine wine?" someone asked.

Colleagues sneered: "Are you talking nonsense? There is no restaurant that only sells one kind of wine. Even in ordinary restaurants, light liquor has different tastes, such as mellow and refreshing. It's just that most restaurants only have one kind of wine that is famous all over the world. .”

The scholar who asked the question didn't dare to speak, he was from a poor family, and he had never been to a restaurant outside.Others always like to use this to ridicule him for being shabby, even if he feels angry, he can't refute it.

"Come on." Mr. Lu glared dissatisfiedly at the mean-speaking person, "It's your own people who are not allowed to criticize each other, otherwise you will stop messing around with me in the future. Isn't it because you haven't been to a restaurant? Turn around and treat me, everyone. Everyone has to come."

Now it was the turn of the hateful scholar to shut up, and he had to reluctantly apologize to the poor scholar.Mr. Lu ignored him, walked up to the wine seller pretending to be personable, and asked a few questions.

"Which type of wine are you selling from the No. [-] Restaurant?" Mr. Lu asked.

The rich merchant nodded and bowed: "If you go back to your son, the villain sells peach blossom wine."

"Peach Blossom Noodles?" Mr. Lu glanced at the small palm-sized pot, raised his eyebrows, "I seem to remember that Peach Blossom Noodles only sell for five taels of silver in the No. [-] Restaurant, and it's twice as big as yours?"

The peddler's heart skipped a beat, he didn't expect to run so far and still meet someone who knows how to do it.Fortunately, what he sells is genuine peach blossom wine, not fakes, and there is a reason to justify raising the price. Otherwise, I'm afraid he will be punished by this nobleman.

Mr. Lu didn't know that businessmen are good at buying low and selling high, he just came here to ask, and by the way, tell the people around him what the original price of this wine is.In case others buy high-priced wine and feel that it is not worth the price, instead they scold the No. [-] restaurant.

You must know that he is a loyal fan of the No. [-] Restaurant, and he was forced to study here by his parents regardless of the approaching New Year's Eve. I am afraid that he will not be able to taste the delicious wine of the No. [-] Restaurant for a long time.Thinking of this, he was not very happy, and he was even more unhappy that the businessman raised the price too much, and he had to defend his favorite restaurant.

The merchants are one head and two big, and he also knows that his asking price is too high, but aren't all merchants like this?Who asked him to sell the only one here, and it is understandable to earn three times the profit, but the food is too ugly, and he is probably going to be scolded by the people around him.

Jiang Yuexuan was so happy to watch the show, she stood not far away with her arms folded, and didn't talk about leaving any more.

Ye Xu shook his head and sighed, "It's up to the merchants to sell at what price they can sell, but if the premium is too high, they have to be aware of being scolded. Everyone depends on their own skills." It's not good if you don't want to be scolded if you make money at a loss. .

"That's right." Jiang Yuexuan smiled and nodded in agreement, "This person is not good enough. If it were me, I would have to cry and tell how hard it is to buy this wine, how much manpower and material resources it took to transport it all the way, and try to prove it four times. The price is justified, and I don’t earn much.”

However, the merchant seemed to be intimidated by Mr. Lu's rich family background, so he didn't dare to be too miserable, and he was quite guilty in his words, which made others feel that he was making bad money.

Don't look at Mr. Lu, who seems to be a fool with a lot of money, but with a few words, he forced the vendor to agree to cut the price by half.Although half the price is also twice the original price, Mr. Lu is already satisfied, and he can't let people make a trip and pay the shipping fee if they can't make money.

however……

"He shouldn't have opened this hole." Jiang Yuexuan pointed out calmly.

Now that the price has been lowered, those who bought wine at a high price before will be unhappy and will make a fuss to ask him to refund the money.If it’s fine to just ask for the extra money back, I’m afraid that some of those buyers will be unreasonable and entangled endlessly. Even if the full amount is returned and the wine sold is not returned, the other party may still refuse to give up.

Mr. Lu didn't care about this, after he got the wine, he asked someone to buy a wine glass around, and drank a glass on the spot.Originally, I wanted to taste the wine to see if it was correct, lest this peddler with a criminal record would try to deceive people again.

Fortunately, the wine is indeed that wine, but it is a pity that it is the lowest quality peach blossom brew.Mr. Lu sighed, both happy and unhappy.

I am happy that I can drink the fine wine from the No. [-] Restaurant here in the academy, but I am not happy that the wine is just peach blossom stuffing.It would be even better if it was replaced by his favorite Zhuyechun.But the supply of Zhuyechun is limited every day, and you can't get it locally in Lingcheng, let alone here.

Master Lu regretfully handed over the pot of wine to his followers, asking him to share it and taste it.

"Is it really the wine from the No. [-] Restaurant?"

The scholars didn't think it was the cheapest wine at all. After all, this wine was expensive enough for them, and when they smelled the wine, they would feel euphoric, and they wanted to taste it on the spot.However, it is really inconvenient to go out, so we have to wait until we get back.

The merchant watched them leave without tears, and comforted himself in the heart to help prove that the wine was genuine.Seeing the people around him rushing over to buy wine angrily coming to explain, he shrunk his neck and secretly thought that it was unlucky, if he knew it, he would come back to sell wine tomorrow, and that young man would not go out every day.

Everyone didn't bother to watch the farce behind, they looked at each other, turned around and walked back in unison.The good show is over, I should go back and put back the new year's goods I bought.

"Sister Xuan's restaurant really has a bloody physique, and you can still see the disputes it caused after running so far." Mo Bei clicked his tongue, "No wonder it was noisy every day for the past month."

He opened the store in the capital very smoothly, without any disturbances. Thinking of the various buffs that Ye Xu had bought, he felt that Jiang Yuexuan's noise was too much, and it was a bit fake.Why is it that everyone is opening a store smoothly, but her book is full of moths?Now it seems that there is no lie, it is indeed so wonderful.

Jiang Yuexuan is used to it: "I often do this when I open a shop."

In order to accumulate one billion points as soon as possible, she will use many aggressive methods.Quietly and slowly accumulating points like Ye Xu, she is impatient and always wants to make a big noise, so no matter how many buffs she has, she can stir up troubles in the outside world and cause a storm in the city.

Those people obviously hated her to death, but under the effect of the buff, they couldn't bear the thought of bringing down the store, so they could only sulk themselves, which was actually quite interesting.She just likes how everyone can't understand her and can't kill her, how cool it is.

Ye Xu, who has a salted fish painting style, feels that he and Sister Xuan are incompatible: "Sister Xuan is the only one in the store who is so motivated..."

"I'm also very self-motivated." Mo Bei was unhappy, "I'm just not as capable as her."

Mo Bei doesn't think that he loves salted fish and is lazy. He is a phoenix who wants to make a big career, so he is not the same as a stinky dragon who has no enterprising spirit.

Ye Xu: "??" It's too much to hold and step on!

What's so bad about salted fish?Laziness is human nature!Life without laziness is no fun!

But if you take a closer look, you will find that Han Ying Shen in the store is also motivated.In other words, he is more serious in his work. To be a store manager is to be a responsible store manager and try to make as much money as possible.

If you really think about it, it seems that only the new Daoist Ji Ling is as easy-going as he is.No wonder his daughter was favored by the Taoist chief, they flock together like birds of a feather!

Ye Xu decided to raise his daughter Zhenzhen to be a casual person. With him as her adoptive father, the little girl was born with a high starting point, so there is no need to work so hard.She had lost more than half of her childhood under the hands of her uncle and aunt, and she will have to make up for it in the future.

It's best to be free and happy forever, and don't become the king of rolls like sister Xuan, the workaholic of roll kings is no fun.

"Do you remember?" Ye Xu asked earnestly after talking about it.

Zhen Zhen looked confused: "Huh? Remember, remember."

The little girl is still young and has not yet passed her tenth birthday, so she doesn't really understand the good intentions of her elders.Fortunately, children these days are relatively precocious and have their own ideas. Adults can still understand a thing or two.

Zhenzhen has a certain plan for her future. Although she just wants to learn all the classical instruments, the plan is relatively superficial, but she still has a plan after all.What she doesn't understand is why her father thinks that salted fish is better than king roll, and she herself has no clear understanding and preference for these two, and is still in a neutral state.

Since Dad doesn't like Juan Wang, and she doesn't have a strong liking for Juan Wang, she might as well listen to Dad for the time being.If you have other ideas in the future, it's not too late to change them secretly.

After thinking about the countermeasure seriously, the little girl felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so she nodded with satisfaction.

Ye Xu was also very satisfied, he didn't ask his daughter to feel his intentions all at once, as long as he could obediently listen to it.In the future, there will be plenty of time to teach slowly. He plans to tell his daughter more stories about overworked death and his own death.

Fortunately, no one else in the shop had any opinion on Ye Xu's education method. His daughter decides how to teach herself, and outsiders are not qualified to dictate.Regardless of whether they agree or disagree in their hearts, what they show is a neutral attitude, neither supporting nor opposing.

There is no one better or worse between the left and right lifestyles, you can choose either.Even Mo Bei, who loves to play against Ye Xu the most, rarely interrupted. When the little girl curiously asked him why he didn't get along with his father this time, he even said a word of conscience.

Mo Bei said: "Your father loves you very much and will not harm you."

"However, I heard some people say that the elders sometimes make choices that are actually not good for the children under the guise of being good for you." Zhenzhen, a kid, sighed, "As a child, how can I tell the difference between my father and my father?" Is the behavior really good for me, or does he think it's good for me and actually delays me?"

Zhenzhen herself is willing to trust her father, but when she goes to participate in the piano competition, she always meets other children who have conflicts with their parents.Those children always complain that their parents force them to learn the piano, saying that it will be an advantage when they grow up to play the piano well, but they themselves feel that learning the piano will do them more harm than good, and they would rather not have this benefit.

Some words have been heard a lot, and it is inevitable to take them to heart.Zhenzhen is a little worried now. All the uncles and aunts say that her father is the first time to be a father, and she may make mistakes. She is worried that if her father makes a wrong decision, she will angrily blame herself for not being a good father. She does not want her father to Feel owed her.

Mo Bei didn't notice the little girl's delicate thoughts at all, combined with his own experience, he said carelessly: "If you are not sure, just ask a few more adults. If everyone thinks that your father's behavior is not wrong, it means that he said That’s right. I used to always feel that those old-fashioned people in the clan didn’t understand me. They were too stubborn when they were old, and later proved that the elders were right. My young phoenix’s thinking was too naive, but I felt blindly and confidently. It was my own idea that was perfect, and I feel ashamed looking back on it now."

Who doesn't have a dark history when they were young, and Mo Bei belongs to the category with a lot of black history.He self-righteously sang against his elders many times since he was a child. At that time, he felt that he was right, and he really made himself live comfortably. Only when he grew up did he realize that he was cheating himself.

One thing Mo Bei remembers most clearly is that the elders pressured him to practice calligraphy, insisting that he write very beautifully.He was very angry. He felt that practicing calligraphy was of no use at all, and he was lazy for a while.It wasn't until he followed the elders to visit the peacock tribe and was laughed at by the peacock cubs that he realized that good-looking handwriting is not useless, at least it is useful to pretend to be slapped in the face.

After hearing this story, Zhen Zhen's expression was dull: "..." She thought that practicing calligraphy would bring much benefit to Uncle Mo Bei, but that was the end result.

No, I can't think that way, how can I only look at the benefits when doing things.Practicing calligraphy can cultivate sentiment, and writing well can also make you feel good, that's enough.

Uncle Mo Bei was right. The other uncles and aunts didn't say that her father's decision was wrong. Although not everyone supported it, at least they didn't object.That proves that being a salted fish is not a wrong choice, and she can rest assured that her father will not blame himself for it in the future.

Zhen Zhen happily left, leaving Mo Bei alone to reminisce about the past.He also wanted to share more interesting stories about his childhood with Zhen Zhen, but when he turned around, the child ran away early, so he could only regret and put away his melancholy.

On the other side, Zhen Zhen ran to Ye Xu's side and asked her father excitedly, "How should I be a salted fish? What should I do?"

Ye Xu glanced at his daughter and answered seriously: "Salted fish just doesn't do anything."

Zhenzhen: "?"

"You have to pass things on to others."

Zhenzhen: "??"

"If you can't push it out..."

Zhenzhen: "??"

"Then find a way to save the energy that needs to be expended, and complete this matter with the smallest comeback."

Zhenzhen: "!!" Yuan, so is the salted fish like this?Been taught a lesson!

The next day, everyone saw a pair of father and daughter paralyzed by salted fish.Two reclining chairs are placed next to the charcoal basin, one on the left and one on the right to surround the charcoal basin, and two small tables are placed in the front and back, with tea and snacks on them.

The father and daughter maintained a half-lying position, reaching out to stuff their mouths with some snacks from time to time.In addition, there is a virtual screen floating in front of my eyes, one is watching cartoons, and the other is watching variety shows, which is very pleasant.

Everyone was silent for a while, and began to reflect on whether it was a wrong decision to allow the store manager to spoil the little girl.

"Dad, you're right, salted fish is really good." Zhen Zhen burped contentedly, if it wasn't for her love for musical instruments still churning in her heart, she wouldn't even want to get up to learn the piano.

Ye Xu took a sip of the fruit juice and sighed: "The sweet and sour drinks are delicious. The Chinese New Year is just comfortable, and you don't need to do anything."

"Get up." Jiang Yuexuan walked over with a straight face, and lightly kicked Ye Xu's recliner, "Today we have to clean up, no one is allowed to be lazy."

Years ago, the store had to be cleaned inside and out, which is called getting rid of the old and welcoming the new.Even if the plane store is already very clean, this step cannot be omitted, it is mainly a sense of ritual.

Ye Xu reluctantly sat up: "Isn't it enough to leave things like cleaning to the robots?"

"It is true that the store can be handed over to robots." Jiang Yuexuan smiled, "But we discussed it and decided to do voluntary labor and help the academy."

The academy is so big that the servants employed in the academy alone cannot keep busy.Han Yingshen has had a lot of dealings with the cafeteria of the academy during these days, and the relationship between the two parties is not bad. He has also been taken care of by the other side a few times, so he wants to take this opportunity to repay the favor.

In fact, there are not many things they really need to do. As Ye Xu said, there are hardworking and capable robots.So Jiang Yuexuan directly asked Ye Xu to get up, don't fall behind in collective action, and don't let anything go wrong in the shop all day long.

As soon as Ye Xu heard that the robot would follow to help, he knew that the work assigned to him was probably not much, so he readily agreed: "Then go, Zhen Zhen doesn't have to go, stay at home with the Taoist priest and learn the piano."

The outside is not as clean as the inside of the store, and the sky is full of dust when cleaning. It is better not to let the little girl use it as a vacuum cleaner.The air quality in the modern plane is bad enough. My baby girl has been inhaling the smog for so many years. Now if you can avoid PM2.5, try to avoid it.

"Success, then she will stay at home." Jiang Yuexuan nodded and agreed.
