If we want to say that the opening of the North and South Grocery Store has brought changes to whose lives, it must first be the residents around Fenglefang.
Early that morning, before the morning drums sounded, the shop gates were not opened, and the north and south groceries were not opened, there were already many people waiting in line in front of the shop.
From the crack in the door, you can vaguely see that the lights are on in the shop, and it seems that the guys are putting out goods.
"Ge Da, why are you here later than usual?"
Another young man in his fifties or sixties came over, and several people in line greeted him with a smile.
The area of Fenglefang is small, about half of the larger ones in Guangdefang.
There are only a limited number of households, and each household knows something about each other.
Like Ge Da, he was a servant in the family of a small official named Liang in the southwest of Fenglefang.
In addition to Ge Da, there was only an old woman, a boy and a maid in their family.
The old woman was the cook, and the boy was the servant.
They are with their husband, and the maids are helping the wives of the family.
Ge Da is their leader, but he also has to watch the door.
I heard that the Liang family is also a decent family in Jiangnan, but the neighbors here can also see that their family's life has been getting worse in the past two years.
If it hadn't been for something happening at home, , that is, Liang Dalang lost his favor at home.
However, their husband and wife are pretty good people, and the neighbors get along quite harmoniously.
Even though everyone is jealous behind the scenes, they always have to save face in front of others.
"Oops, I went to bed a little late today."
Ge Da said, walking over and getting to the back of the line.
"You are getting older, why don't you let the kid at home come out and buy it?"
someone said to him.
"As we get older, we sleep less.
Boys of their age are just in need of sleep."
Ge Da said with a smile.
In fact, it was true that the boy was sleepy, but if he was really given the task of going to the North and South to buy groceries every morning, the boy would not be able to jump for joy.
A few days ago, Ge Da felt some discomfort in his body, so he asked him to come here.
As a result, the boy went into the shop and wanted to buy it.
When he came back, he had a bunch of things in his arms.
Both husbands and ladies are generous. , that is to say, he just said a few words.
Ge Da was really distressed.
With what's going on at home now, how could he afford to spend so much money?
That kid was still in Jiangnan.
The morning in the first month was also quite cold.
A group of people stood in line with their necks hunched, talking to each other.
The time passed very quickly, and not long after, the shop in front opened.
Entering from that entrance, what you see is still a large bright hall, filled with all kinds of food.
For someone like Ge Da who was hungry when he was young, he never dreamed that there could be such a place in the world.
Recently, the time when he comes to this shop to buy food every morning is the most enjoyable time of his day.
He is getting older now, his body and bones are getting worse day by day, and he doesn't know how many years he can live, but he feels that he has no regrets in his life.
The father-in-law trusted him and asked him to follow Madam Langjun to Chang'an City.
The life in Fenglefang was not bad, especially the recent opening of the North-South Grocery Store, which added a lot of color to their lives.
Ge Da carried a basket at the entrance.
After entering the shop, he went to the dessert area by familiar means.
There was a special price area there.
Every morning there were some special packages, which were as big as two or three palms for adults.
An oil paper bag contains mostly some unsightly shapes or scraps cut out when making bread and cakes.

The price is very affordable, only two cents per bag, and these neighbors like to buy it the most.
Every afternoon, there will be a batch of half-price desserts in the special offer area, mainly to ensure the freshness of the food in their shop.
There is a little extra bread and cakes from the previous day, which doesn’t seem to be a bad thing.
They are sold at half price.
Many neighbors also like to buy them, but Ge Da doesn't buy them much.
This special package is good every morning, but the purchase is limited, and each person can only buy one package.
Even so, it is sold out early every day, and you can't buy it if you come late.
Ge Da took a special package, then went to the counter to look at it, and picked out a small cake that cost fifteen cents.
It was the birthday of his little lady.
Since the past two days, she had been telling him that today Remember to buy her a cream cake, and eat cream cake on her birthday.
It seems that the saint in the palace started this matter.
After buying these two items, Ge Dabao stopped staying in the dessert area.
He first turned to the tofu shop next door and bought two cents of tofu, and then some brine.
Finally, I went to the shelves in the corner and picked up a jar of salad dressing and a jar of bean paste.
Salad sauce is used to mix vegetables and vegetables.
Doubanjiang is naturally used for cooking.
Meat dishes made with this bean paste.
Tofu is a dish that both the young man and the young lady in the family love to eat.
"The special package includes cakes for seventeen cents, salad dressing for ten cents, bean paste for eight cents, tofu for two cents, and brine for six cents.
The total is forty-three cents.
Do you want a paper bag?"
The person in charge of collecting money at the counter in front The young man helped him take the things out of the basket and quoted the price.
"No, no, no."
Ge Da took out a neatly folded large oil paper bag from his arms, opened it and shook it.
The young man at the counter quickly took it and helped him put the things into the bag.
Ge Da took out another bunch of money from his arms.
He had counted the money in advance.
Each bunch was fifty cents.
At this time, he only needed to count seven cents from it.
He spent forty-three cash in one go, and he felt very distressed.
His husband didn't have much monthly salary, and his hometown in Jiangnan didn't send much money or silk to them in the past two years, so this The family's life became more and more difficult.
Fortunately, in the early years, when the family was still willing to give money, the husband and wife lived frugally and borrowed some money from others to buy this house in Fenglefang.
Now, Although life is not rich, life is still good.
Today coincides with the birthday of the little lady at home, so I spent a little more, and the salad dressing and bean paste in the kitchen are almost used up, so there is no need to spend so much on weekdays.
Ge Da held an oil paper bag in his arms and walked all the way towards his home.
He was still murmuring in his heart about whether he would spend a few pennies less tomorrow and the next day.
He couldn't save anything else, so he had to buy less braised vegetables.
"Ge Da, did you remember to buy me a cake today?"
As soon as they entered the yard, they heard the five or six-year-old lady at home asking.
"I bought it," Ge Da replied with a smile.
"Let me see where you are," the little girl said impatiently.
"It's in this bag.
It's on top.
I'm afraid it'll get crushed."
Ge Da said, opening the oil paper bag in his arms and taking out the cream cake, but he didn't give it directly to the little lady. , but called the maid who usually serves the lady over: "Take this to the lady's room first."

"You can buy salad dressing."
At this time, the woman who was cooking also came out of the kitchen.
"I bought it."
Ge Da handed her the oil paper bag in his arms.
The woman looked at it, turned around and went back to the kitchen to work.
Not long after, the husband and wife at home also got up, and the cooking woman had already prepared breakfast for them.
At this time, she and the maidservant took the food to the outside of the main room.
First, he brought a plate of vegetable salad and a stack of pickles in, then he opened the special package that Ge Da just bought, put it on a rattan plate, and then brought in a few boiled eggs, and each A bowl of corn porridge for each person.
The braised vegetables were not touched.
That was tonight's dish.
The master is having dinner in the main room, and does not need servants to serve him, so he lets them all eat too.
The place where the servants eat is under the kitchen.
There is also an earthen kang built here.
The kang table is set up with corn porridge, mixed flour pancakes, a pile of pickles, and an egg for each person.
It is considered a good meal. .
"Geda, these cakes are for you to eat.
Aye asked me to bring them."
While they were eating, the young man at home put a few pieces of bread and cakes on a plate and brought them over.
"It's not like we can't finish the food.
Why bring it here again?"
Ge Da sighed.
The young man smiled, put down his things and left without saying anything.
To be honest, this two-cent bag of bread and cakes, their brothers and sisters all like to eat it, and my mother also likes to eat it.
To say more, it’s really not much at all, but it’s okay to eat one or two pieces less occasionally.
Ge Da was in poor health two days ago, and the young man was somewhat worried.
After the family had breakfast, it was already bright and the door drum had been beaten.
The husband went out with the young man.
The young man went back to his room to study, while the wife and the two young ladies were in the house. , doing embroidery work and chatting, while the maids are also waiting on them, helping them wind the thread and coaxing the youngest lady in the family.
Their wife is good at embroidery.
In the past two years, she found a job in a clothing store in the city, embroidering the clothes in the store, and she could earn some money every month to support the family.
"Ge Da, will you go to Luo Sanlang's grocery store to buy cakes tomorrow morning?"
The young lady at home was impatient to stay in the house and learn embroidery from her mother-in-law.
After a while, she ran to the yard and met Ge Da who was pounding rice.
Big talk.
"Go, why not?"
Ge laughed.
I had just finished eating and was thinking about my next meal.
"Can't you take me with you tomorrow?"
the young lady asked him.
"You have to ask the husband and wife about this."
Ge Da felt that this matter was basically out of the question.
"Aye said he would take me there when he takes a rest."
The little girl said aggrievedly, "But I want to go every day."
In fact, it is not just the young lady of the Liang family who wants to go to Luo Sanlang's grocery store every day, many people in Chang'an City are like this.
Precisely because of the charm that makes people want to go there every day, the business of North and South Grocery Stores is booming, getting better and better every day, making many desserts and eating them every day, the shelves are full, and there is no need to worry about not being able to sell them.

Total loss.
As the saying goes, some people are happy and some are sad.
If the business of groceries in the north and south is good, some people's businesses will naturally be affected, such as the long-famous Mi Fang Zhai.
Anrenfang, where Mi Fangzhai is located, is opposite Fenglefang, facing each other, separated by a 150-meter-wide Zhuque Street.
When Nanbei Grocery Store opened here, some of the waiters at Mi Fang Zhai asked their boss if they wanted to go to Luo Sanlang's shop to have a look.
"Look at what they do, just do your business well."
That's what the old man said at the time.
So no one mentioned this to him again, so as not to catch up with them when they were angry and confront them in person.
After twenty days like this, the business of Nabei Nan Groceries was getting better and better day by day.
Even though Naluo Sanlang brought a group of little-known children to his shop, there were still a lot of people willing to go to his house to buy things.
On this day, the old man from Mi Fang Zhai finally couldn't hold it in any longer and sent someone back to the North and South Grocery Store to buy some of the most famous delicacies.
Finally, several kinds of bread and cakes were placed on the table of Master Mi Fangzhai.
The old man first tasted the legendary cream cake without saying anything.
Then he ate another egg tart without saying anything.
Then he picked up a salted egg cheese bread, looked at it first, then took a bite, and then He took a bite and murmured while eating: "Tsk, it's cheese.
It's clearly cheese.
Just change the name.
I pretend I don't recognize it." gd1806102:
