I opened a restaurant in ancient times

Chapter 16

With an unstoppable smile on Jiang's face, he beckoned Zhao Heng to drink a bowl of water in the yard: "Sit down and talk slowly, it will take a while."

I only paid the deposit before, and I should pay the balance today . Understand. When he went out, he took the money with him, wrapped it in a cloth and put it in his sleeve.

Zhao Heng took out the cloth bag, which contained the copper coins he had counted at home, a total of 350 coins.

When paying the deposit, he only gave fifty cents. This time, he brought a little more, thinking that if it is not enough, he will make up for it.

"Uncle Jiang, do you think it's okay to pay 300 wen for the tail money?" Zhao Heng weighed it and said, the 300 wen tail gold plus the previous deposit of 50 wen, this price should be acceptable.

Father Jiang frowned and said, "Three hundred wen is too much, so I don't need so much. I haven't touched this work for several years, and my hands are born. You can help me by handing this matter to me. My family has one, and I can pay the cost of 200 wen for the craftsmanship."

Zhao Heng nodded, he didn't know the price of craftsmanship in this ancient society, so he could only agree.

He silently wrote it down in his heart, as if he had accepted the other party's love. If the Jiang family needed help in the future, he would just do his best to help.

He counted out two hundred copper coins from the cloth bag and handed it to Father Jiang. Father Jiang took it with a smile, placed it on the table beside him, pointed to the cold water in front of Zhao Heng, and motioned him to take a few sips to quench his thirst.

In the hot summer, Zhao Heng felt that there was not even a shred of wind blowing around him, and he could only hear the roaring cicadas in his ears.

After talking for so long, he was indeed a little thirsty. After talking with Daddy Jiang, Zhao Heng took the bowl in his hand and drank it "gudonggudong".

Daddy Jiang was already quite old, so he naturally couldn't stand the heat that even a young man like Zhao Heng couldn't bear, so he picked up the sea bowl at hand and drank it clean.

After the two finished drinking, they put down the bowls in their hands. It just so happened that it was almost noon at this time. Jiang Yuan and Jiang Amu had prepared meals in the kitchen and were carrying them to the main room, when bursts of fragrance came out from the stove.

Zhao Heng's stomach made a "grunt", and he quickly covered his stomach, for fear that the Jiang family and Jiang Yuan would hear the sound.

Daddy Jiang was the closest to him. He didn't say anything when he heard the sound. He just smiled and greeted him to eat here at noon today.

Father Jiang suddenly felt that this young man who looked very mature was actually the same age as his own brother Yuan, and when he thought about Liyang City, his heart softened even more.

"Let's have dinner at my house at noon today, Brother Yuan and the others did yours too..." Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yuan came over and asked the two of them to go to the main room for dinner.

"Father, Brother Zhao, Mother has prepared the meal." Jiang Yuan hesitated for a while, but decided to be a little more polite to the guests in front of Father.

This brother made Zhao Heng's mind sluggish. Jiang Yuan had never called him that, and he looked at Jiang Yuan in surprise.

He knew that Jiang Yuan was a very strong person. Although he was one year older than Jiang Yuan, Jiang Yuan had never called him brother. In this era, this title reminded him of life in modern times.

In his small restaurant, the part-time cooks in the back of the house called him that. Ever since he entered this dynasty and became a different person, he has never heard this name again, and now he is suddenly awakened by this sound. Memories of the past.

Zhao Heng shook his head secretly in his heart, and temporarily suppressed everything from his previous life in his heart, and stopped thinking about things that were far away from the present.

He just raised his head and saw Jiang Yuan standing beside Daddy Jiang, the sun falling through the shade of the tree, making his whole person glow like a shining light, making people unable to move their eyes.

Zhao Heng originally wanted to refuse, but for some unknown reason, he suddenly couldn't say anything to refuse. He silently got up and followed Jiang Yuan and Jiang Daddy to the main room.

When he was about to leave, Dad Jiang came out to see him. Several people stood at the door. Dad Jiang said, "If there is any minor problem with the cart in the future, just come and fix it, and I won't charge you."

Zhao Heng has no parents . , A simple and enthusiastic person like Daddy Jiang is exactly what his father imagined when he was young. Daddy Jiang was about thirty or forty years old, and he was not tall. The years of work in his youth had caused his back to curve slightly.

A middle-aged man who looked very gentle with light wrinkles at the corners of his eyes when he smiled.

When he came back to his senses, Zhao Heng nodded with a smile on his face, and said, "Okay, Uncle Jiang, I will trouble you if there is anything in the future!"

Father Jiang listened to him and grinned, staring at him. Looking at the young man who looked like a bamboo cultivator in front of him, he smiled and said, "Even if you come! Anyway, I'm very busy at home, come and talk to me if you have nothing to do. I still have a few jars of good wine!"

"Okay!" Zhao Heng took Zhao Haha from Jiang Yuan, put it on the cart, and stumbled home all the way.

Soon it was time to set up a stall in Beishi. Zhao Heng got up early and started working in the kitchen before dawn.

The hand cakes and pocket cakes he made before are the mainstays of this stall. In addition to these, the chili peppers that he and Zhang Qiao went to buy in Beishi also came in handy.

Zhao Heng made it into a not too spicy chili sauce. After all, most people here have never eaten chili. Eating too spicy at the beginning is not good for the stomach, so Zhao Heng did not make it very well. hot.

Zhao Haha was playing on the side, smelled the chili pepper from a distance and sneezed, so scared that Zhao Heng quickly moved it aside.

After putting things on the cart, Zhao Heng was worried that Zhao Haha had a dog at home, so he brought it with him. They set foot on the road to Beishi in the early morning light.

He had been there several times before, but the winding path still confused him for a while, so he had to ask along the way.

Zhao Heng touched the obedient Zhao Haha, and secretly rejoiced in his heart. Fortunately, the town of Beishi is not far from Dahe Village, otherwise he would not know when he would be able to get there.

After finally stopping at his booth, Zhao Heng took out a small ponytail from under the cart and sat on it to rest for a while. He started to drive this early in the morning and he was really tired. All sweated.

Put Zhao Haha at your feet and tie his feet to the corner of the cart with a soft cloth rope. Zhao Heng was afraid that he would not have time to take care of it after opening, so he could only do so.

It didn't take too long to rest, Zhao Heng propped up the stall while the people who came to work in the town hadn't come, ready to attract the first customer with fragrance.

Soon someone approached and asked Zhao Heng, "What kind of cake is this?"

Zhao Heng kept moving his hands, while answering him: "This is a hand-grabbing cake, I learned it from other places, and this is the only thing in Zhilan Town. Family, do you want to try it?" The

visitor hesitated: "How much is it?" He wouldn't spend a lot of money to buy something he had never eaten before, who knows if it's delicious or not.

Zhao Heng pondered in his heart, the cost of a hand-grabbed cake is about five cents, plus his own manual fee, about eight or nine cents, it can be sold for ten cents.

But this is the first customer. In order to attract more potential customers to make a name for themselves in the early stage, the first few customers must have discounts. Zhao Heng smiled and said: "You are the first, and you will be charged eight cents. . The guests after ten are only ten cents. Would you like one?"
