Chapter 240： Make a small profit
Baiwei people’s house is said to be run by a husky. The building of the restaurant is quite exotic. The round octagonal building is wide and large. Each corner of the eaves is decorated with brass wind chimes. You can listen to it before you come closer. To Dingdang's crisp invitation to the guests, it is very conspicuous in the well-deserved second-story shops on the street.
After entering, the inside is even more magnificent and luxurious, with a circular hollow hall. There are four or five large halls in other restaurants. In the middle of the hall is a circular stage. Three meters away are tables and chairs for diners. The tables and chairs are made of rosewood, high-end atmosphere. The stairs on the second floor and the fence in the hollow upstairs are also made of rosewood.
There are seven or eight huge chandeliers hanging on the ceiling, and a dozen or so candles with a bowl-thickness are inserted in each chandeliers. If it is here at night, the lights are sure to be brilliant, like daylight.
The surrounding walls are decorated with woven blankets, and the windows are hung with beautiful curtains. The little two who come and go are all women, young and beautiful, slender, wearing uniform tight-fitting mustaches, briskly shuttled between the tables, unique A beautiful landscape.
After the Shen family entered, they were all shocked by this magnificent and magnificent restaurant. All curious people looked around, their eyes were not enough, they were surprised at everything, and they looked good at everything. Especially Jin Cun, his head turned like a rattle, and one could tell at a glance that he was from the country.
Shen Dejian also seemed a little calmer because he had been here once, but he was still a little nervous when he came with these people alone, and his expression was not natural. Shen Ruolan had a calm face. After a few glances, she stopped watching. .
A beautiful Hu woman led them to sit down at a large table on the north side of the hall on the first floor, and asked them with a smile what to order, and she also offered the recipe.
Shen Dejian was illiterate, so he asked Zhang Xingwang to order, but Zhang Xingwang refused to order anything. He had to let Mu's order, push it around, and finally pushed it to Shen Ruolan. Shen Ruolan saw that everyone gave in, so she ordered it herself.
After opening the recipe, her heart trembled slightly. No wonder the diners here are all wearing silk and satin. Short clothes like them are really not suitable for coming here.
The cheapest dishes here start at Baiwen, and many high-end dishes like bear paws and shark fins cost a few taels of silver!
Even if they pick up the cheapest dishes, they would have to eat at least seven or eight taels for one meal!
However, if you have come, you will be at ease. Since you have come, you don’t have to feel sorry for the money. Don't say that their family is not short of money, even if they are poor, people are here, and they can't lose their posture.
"A steamed salmon, a grilled pigeon; a steamed deer tail, a duck with lees..."
Ordered eight dishes and one soup in one breath, and simply estimated that it would cost seven or eight taels of silver. She didn't pick the most high-end order, otherwise she couldn't hold back the ten taels of silver.
Hu Nu took down the dishes she ordered and left with a smile.
As soon as the people left, Zhang Xingwangcai sighed and said, "It's really good here. I've lived such a long time, and it's the first time I have come to eat in such a good place. The second child, thanks to you, otherwise I won't Maybe come to such a good place to enjoy yourself!"
Shen Dejian was grateful and looked very happy. He was humble and said, "Brother, you are wrong to say that. You have three good sons. Who knows which one will have great prospects in the future? Maybe, you can still go on in the future. Going to eat in the best restaurant in Beijing!"
Zhang Xingwang smiled: "Then I will borrow your good words, my three sons, the boss is useless, the second one--"
He glanced at Er Yong, then at Shen Ruolan, and said with a smile: "Hey, don't tell me, the second child is really unprepared!" Even if the second child is not good, isn't there a second daughter-in-law? The daughter-in-law is a good one. Whether the old Zhang family can thrive in the future depends on her.
As for "the third child, it's not easy to say for the time being!"
Zhang Eryong didn't hear what the old man said. In this moment, his sight followed Lan'er's sight and slipped to the middle stage.
The children performing juggling on the stage have gone down, and another storyteller came up. There was a table in front of the storyteller with a ruler on it. I saw him straighten his clothes and drank his chewy tea. In my throat, he slapped the ruler on the case with a'pop', and began to speak full of breath.
"Guest officials," as soon as the four words came out, the noisy surroundings immediately calmed down, only listening to him waving a fan loudly, "Last time it was said that the guerrilla Sun Anguo was greedy for life and fear of death, and surrendered to the enemy before the battle. The traitor..."
The storyteller tells the story of King Zhan’s fifteen-year-old expedition and bravely retreating from Wusun’s invasion. It has been more than ten days since he started speaking last month. Because he spoke well, many diners came here specifically to listen to his storytelling. This Baiwei family eats, this can be regarded as a marketing strategy of Baiwei family's big owner.
Shen Ruolan wants to open a printing factory and publish books, so she will naturally pay attention to stories that are of interest to everyone. Seeing that the whole restaurant is like a duck with its neck pinched, it is quietly listening to the storyteller with her neck stretched. Speaking, she couldn't help but notice.
"I saw King Zhan picking up the knife and falling, cold light everywhere, and another Wusun soldier became a ghost under the sword, and he said,'Ten steps one person, a thousand miles without staying.' Although Wusun soldiers are crowded, they have seen this god. Such a character, how can you not be heartbroken? Seeing the traitor Sun Anguo is right in front of him—"
When the storyteller talked about the wonderful things, some people couldn't help but yelled, "Okay," everyone cheered and thundered, and everyone's emotions were mobilized.
A majestic and powerful God of War was portrayed vividly. He was unrivaled, magnificent, outstanding in martial arts, used like a **** of war, and was deeply respected by the emperor and loved by the people. He was the wizard of Chu State to stabilize the country... …
Shen Ruolan didn't think she had listened. While she was full of respect for the Lord of War, who was protecting her family and protecting the country and setting the country and Anbang, she was also grateful for his compassion for the people and loving the people like a child. She still remembered what Luwu said, Those girls who were abducted to Wusun were rescued by the order of King Zhan!
Come to think of it, it was her letter that worked, and King Zhan is really a great hero and a good person!
Such a good person, if she asked him to send Nie Heng to treat her mother, would he agree?
The ruler rang again on the stage, and the storyteller's voice became loud, "King Zhan tied the rebel in front of the saddle and kicked the horse's belly. He only listened to the horses neighing up to the sky and struggling to raise their hooves. How dare the Wusun people resist," I just hate that my parents didn’t give birth to a pair of feet, they fled around, not to mention, at this critical juncture, behind a camp, a black iron arrow stretched out, the arrowhead was faintly glowing with blue light, it can be seen that it was painted with poison. , Facing the vest of King Zhan——"
Shen Ruolan's heart lifted up. Just when he didn't know whether King Zhan was injured, the storytelling fan closed, "Foresee the funeral, how to listen to the next time--"
Everyone sighed, they didn't hear enough, so they finished talking, really!
Shen Ruolan didn't hear enough either, and I really want to continue to listen here tomorrow!
"Hey, I'll finish it at the most important point in the reply. It's really an appetite. It makes people think about it, don't think about it!" Someone at the next table complained.
Someone also said: "I have listened to it for more than a dozen days. I have to spend a couple of dollars every day just to eat here. When converted, this book is really expensive. I can't help it if I don't want to listen to it. It's really hard to stop. what--"
Hearing this, Shen Ruolan's heart moved!
Isn't she about to publish a book? Why not like a storyteller, it also creates a story that hangs people's appetite and makes people want to stop? Then, like serialized novels of later generations, serialized publication and distribution, as long as it can arouse everyone's appetite and make them want to stop, it will definitely be sold at a great price!
Thinking in my heart, the food has already started over there!
Delicious and delicious steamed salmon, cucumber mixed with pig ears, tenderloin fried with bamboo shoot tips, steamed deer tail, roasted pigeon...
The fragrant dishes were served one after another, and everyone immediately started. Shen Ruolan was thinking about something because of something in her heart and didn't eat much. There was another cheering on the stage.
It turns out that a few acid scholars are fighting on stage. The form of fighting is very simple, that is, they make a pair and let everyone in the stage match. If they match, they lose. If they don’t match, it’s them. Hard, of course, there is still a lot of money in winning or losing. One of the Confucian scholars with white face and long face is very knowledgeable. He played several pairs in a row and won a lot of money.
Shen Ruolan didn't know anything about the pair, but she especially remembered a story told by her Chinese teacher when she was in high school.
Speaking of a talented woman in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, she was very beautiful, but she later escaped into the empty door due to poor personnel. Regardless of eroticism, the woman wrote a couplet on the wall outside the monastery-lonely, cold window, empty widow, and frankly confessed to everything Those who are able to cope with it will agree with each other physically and mentally, and return to the world. There is an endless stream of literati and elegant scholars who have dealt with them for a time, but in the end all of them return in anguish. The reason is that the upper couplet, the words are embedded with the same. It is a radical, and the meaning is fluent, if there is no magical pen, how can one or two ordinary people break it at will?
It's a pity that until the woman died, no one matched the pair, and no one can solve it until today. It can be said to be absolute through the ages.
The reason why Shen Ruolan remembered this pair is not how much she loves literature, but that she used a very ridiculous sentence at the same table to evaluate the talented woman-she pretended to be a big fan, and gave herself a pit!
If she doesn't pretend to be like this, why bother to stay lonely for a lifetime?
Shen Ruolan couldn't laugh at the time, so she wrote down the pair.
At this moment, she felt that she could use this pair of ages to make a small profit, hehehe.
It's not that she is greedy for money. Now she wants to open a printing factory and a hot pot restaurant. She hires people and buys goods. She also needs to treat her mother. How much money does she get inside and outside? The little money she has to sell the house is definitely not enough, and she doesn't want to move the money in her parents' hands, so now, if there is an opportunity to make money, she is determined not to miss it, huh, no matter how much it is, it is a fool to make money without making money!
She called the Hu girl to serve them at this table, said a few words in her ear, and rewarded her with a small piece of silver.
Hu Nu received the reward and went to do it with a smile.
After a while, the chief of the restaurant came to the stage and said loudly to everyone: "Guest officials, our restaurant has a talented lady here today, and I want to give you a pair. The price of 500 taels is correct. Anyone who wants to solve the problem is right. A guest official who wants these five hundred taels of silver needs to pay fifty taels of silver. If the girl’s pair is matched within a stick of incense, as long as you are matched, the girl’s five hundred taels of silver will be paid. It's yours; but, if you don't match it, your fifty taels will go to the girl. Are you willing to give it a try?"
Five hundred taels of silver for five hundred taels. What a bargain?
Moreover, many literati who think they are talented still want to show off their talents.
If there is money to be made, but also famous, why not do it?
As a result, everyone raised their hands to sign up, and they were very enthusiastic. The hand-in-hand was recording people and cashing in at the same time. They were happy to smile.
That girl can tell, if she wins, she will only receive half of the money, and the rest will go to the restaurant; if she loses, it will all be regarded as an advertisement for the restaurant to get a name. This is a good deal. Of course he was eager to do the business, just waiting for good things to happen every day!
Soon, the number of guests who signed up came out. There were seventeen people with a total of eighty-five taels of silver. The hand-in-hand smiled and collected the silver, and came to invite Shen Ruolan in a polite manner.
When the person in charge said that when a talented girl asked for a solution of five hundred taels of silver, Shen Dejian and the others were still astonished, and they wondered whose prodigal daughter dared to play such a big one. It was his daughter for a long time !
Seeing that Shen Ruolan was about to get up and go out, Shen Dejian woke up like a dream. He pulled her in a panic, and said with a trembling, "Lanya, good girl, don't make trouble. Our family just got enough food, five hundred taels of silver. It’s not a joke. Besides, how can you fight against each other? Dad tells you that although our family makes a lot of money now, didn’t Dad also received a deposit of two hundred taels of silver, so Dad? I really don’t have much, and I can’t afford to pay five hundred taels...
Mu Shi also looked worried: "Lan'er, or else, don't go."
Zhang Xingwang also had a look of disapproval, but he didn't explain, he only frowned and looked worried.
Only Zhang Eryong believed her firmly. Although he did not speak, he nodded heavily at her and smiled as if giving her silent encouragement.
Shen Ruolan also laughed. She patted her mother's hand and said, "Mother, father, don't worry, my daughter never does anything uncertain."
She did not believe that countless literati poojas had studied and tried for several years for hundreds of years, and no one succeeded. She didn't believe it, and these dozens of people could solve it in a stick of incense.
If it can be solved, she will also admit it!
Shen Dejian and Mu Shi saw that their daughter was so confident, and everything was ready there. It was not easy for her to retreat here, so they had to let her go, but the couple was scared enough, and even had food. Regardless of eating, they looked at their daughter nervously.
Shen Ruolan came on stage generously and blessed everyone in the audience. Without saying a word of nonsense, he directly said the pair; "Lonely, cold window and empty widow!"
The voice fell, the money stepped down, and he waited to collect the money.
The seventeen applicants were shocked after hearing this sentence. This pair is too difficult. It turns out that the words are all on the same side, and the semantics are smooth and impeccable.
They all contemplated their eyebrows, shaking their heads and shaking their heads, almost boiling out three liters of old blood.
Over there, the person in charge has already lit a stick of incense for people to watch.
There was a low chant in the hall, all talking about the pair.
After Shen Ruolan returned to the table, she smiled and said to everyone: "We can make more than 40 taels of silver later, so why not order two more dishes."
With a dozen people at their table, they only ordered eight dishes and one soup. If they all had their belly open, it would definitely not be enough. Especially for Brother Fu Cun and Brother Jin Cun, they could eat four dishes, Zhang Eryong It is also edible. Both Dad and Uncle Zhang worked hard, and both had a lot of appetite. Although these meals can be eaten seven to eighty percent full, there is still a way to eat and drink.
Shen Dejian said worriedly: "Are you sure you can win? But so many people are studying your pair."
But Mu Shi smiled and said: "Let's just listen to Lan'er, I think she can win." Mu Shi also read poems and books ruthlessly, knowing that this pair of people who are waiting for a while is not right.
So, Hu Nu, who came to serve, ordered a plate of crystal elbows, one plate of fried quail, and four plates of snacks...
Zhaodi said strangely: "Sister Lanya, when did you learn to be a pair? I think you could order food just now. When did you learn to read?"
She knew Shen Ruolan when she was a child, and she remembered that Sister Lanya was almost like her eldest sister. She was skinny and wandering around the village all day, looking for food. Why doesn't she remember when she studied? ? When will it be right?
Shen Ruolan said calmly and naturally: "Did we not have a school in our village? At that time, I always eavesdropped outside. After I learned it, I learned to write on the ground with branches. After a few years, I knew all the characters and could write them. After making money, I often bought books in the bookstore. If I didn’t know the characters and didn’t understand, I asked the shopkeeper in the study for advice. A little more!"
In the memory, she did go to school several times when she was a child, but they all went to find food, but if she didn’t find it, she never went again. However, this experience helped her to be literate and to be able to do the right thing. Good excuse.

After Shen Ruolan returned to the table, she smiled and said to everyone: "We can make more than 40 taels of silver later, so why not order two more dishes."
With a dozen people at their table, they only ordered eight dishes and one soup. If they all had their belly open, it would definitely not be enough. Especially for Brother Fu Cun and Brother Jin Cun, they could eat four dishes, Zhang Eryong It is also edible. Both Dad and Uncle Zhang worked hard, and both had a lot of appetite. Although these meals can be eaten seven to eighty percent full, there is still a way to eat and drink.
Shen Dejian said worriedly: "Are you sure you can win? But so many people are studying your pair."
But Mu Shi smiled and said: "Let's just listen to Lan'er, I think she can win." Mu Shi also read poems and books ruthlessly, knowing that this pair of people who are waiting for a while is not right.
So, Hu Nu, who came to serve, ordered a plate of crystal elbows, one plate of fried quail, and four plates of snacks...
Zhaodi said strangely: "Sister Lanya, when did you learn to be a pair? I think you could order food just now. When did you learn to read?"
She knew Shen Ruolan when she was a child, and she remembered that Sister Lanya was almost like her eldest sister. She was skinny and wandering around the village all day, looking for food. Why doesn't she remember when she studied? ? When will it be right?
Shen Ruolan said calmly and naturally: "Did we not have a school in our village? At that time, I always eavesdropped outside. After I learned it, I learned to write on the ground with branches. After a few years, I knew all the characters and could write them. After making money, I often bought books in the bookstore. If I didn’t know the characters and didn’t understand, I asked the shopkeeper in the study for advice. A little more!"
In the memory, she did go to school several times when she was a child, but they all went to find food, but if she didn’t find it, she never went again. However, this experience helped her to be literate and to be able to do the right thing. Good excuse.
