Ah Xi added another cup of bayberry juice to Jiang Jian, and said: It was given by the husband, if you need to invite friends to a banquet in Fuxi Zhai in the future, you can ask the husband to help you book a private room.Jiang Jian chuckled: Yang Ye, this kid has some skills, and he treats you well.At this moment, the maid who went to buy cold skewers came back from carrying the food box.Jiang Jian's love for cold skewers was unhidden, and when he saw the food box, he couldn't wait to open it, and saw two large plates of cold skewers inside, one plate of meat and one plate of vegetarian dishes, and happily stroked his beard: That's it!
You can also get the old guy to come and have a drink or two in the evening.If Master Taifu likes it, send two voices and ask the husband to send it to you.Jiang Jian pulled out of the joy: how did you buy this?
Ah Xi did not hide from Jiang Jian: This is a small stall set up at home, the eldest brother has a shop in Wenyang County, and not long ago he sent his family's merchants to the capital, because the price of real estate in Kyoto is high, so he had to set up a small stall to sell first.Jiang Jian was very surprised, but he felt reasonable, if it wasn't for his own stall, how could he buy it so quickly, and now he was blessed.The things in the stall are good, and now that the business is so hot, it won't be long before the shop can be closed.I borrowed the good words of the adult.After Jiang Jian happily carried the two food boxes and left, Ah Xi stayed in the private room for a while, and only went back when the sun was small, and when he returned to the mansion, Yang Ye happened to come back, so he told Yang Ye about today's events.Yang Ye didn't have much surprise, today can be regarded as a good deal of the things in the court, just after coming back from the court, he specially went to a small street, the queue to buy cold skewers is lined up in two columns, the business is very hot, Jiang Jian is not surprised to go back to buy it when he hears the wind, after all, he also looks at the two eunuchs in the queue to buy cold skewers.But Ah Xi can do things, and he knows how to do it without him mentioning something.Later, Qifu came back from the stall, Yang Ye had time to ask the account, the stall was set up for nearly half a month, in addition to the cost of materials, in just ten days, he earned nearly 100 taels of silver!
Although Yang Ye knew how to make money, he never thought that the consumption power of the capital had reached such a high level.Ah Xi Dao: Most of the diners in Wenyang County buy cold skewers for more than a dozen roots, the quantity is scattered and small, and they are sold cheaply in the county.Yang Ye hugged Ah Xi, and he was in a good mood: In this way, we will be able to set up another shop in less than three months, and we can hire two more people at that time.Qifu was also very happy when he heard this, and when the shop was finished, he would not have to be exposed to the wind and rain, and he would not be so tired if he added manpower, and there were people to call.Ah Xi gave Qifu some reward money, which should be the reward for working hard these days.Qifu held the reward money and thanked Ah Xi and Yang Ye again and again.Okay, let's go down.Qifu took the silver, but never went out: master, husband, slave still have something to say.When the stall was closed today, someone stopped the slave and wanted to buy the secret recipe for cold skewers at a high price.Yang Ye's eyebrows twisted: Do you know who it is?
The slave didn't know, he only said that the secret recipe was not for sale, and the man said that let the slave think about it, and he would come again tomorrow at the same time, and then give him an answer.Yang Ye raised his eyes and said: I know, I will go in person tomorrow.After Qifu went out, Ah Xicai said: The people in the capital are too quick to make up their minds, and it has only been open for a few days now, and they can't hold it back.Everyone wants a piece of the pie for something that makes people red, and the cold skewer is a small stall, and others feel that it is easy to handle, so they naturally want to receive it quickly in their hands.Yang Ye said: Don't worry, I'll go tomorrow to find out.The next day, Yang Ye went home and changed into civilian clothes and went to the side street, the cold skewers were sold when it was hot, he looked at several familiar domestic servants, like which officials' families, asked him to distinguish one by one, he really couldn't distinguish it, for fear of being recognized by those domestic servants, he entered a small shop of mutton rice noodles and ordered a bowl of haggis rice noodles.There are only five or six tables in the small shop, and there are only a few guests in it at this time, Xiao Er came up with a bowl of mutton soup sprinkled with green onions, and said: Guest officer, wait a while, the guests in front also ordered haggis rice noodles, and they will wait for a while.Yang Ye is also easy to speak: don't get in the way.But he is a little strange, the haggis rice noodles are clearly not loved by people before, I remember that in the past, a mutton rice noodle shop was also opened in Wenyang County, every time he went to eat most people were ordered mutton, rarely saw a little haggis, the haggis of the shop was indeed not very good, the taste was a little big, but every time he ate spicy seeds, stewed but did not feel the taste.Xiao Er explained: In the past, there were indeed not many customers who ordered haggis, but since the stall selling cold skewers at the bottom has been opened, the haggis rice noodles in our shop have also sold better.If you don't buy cold skewers in line, and you want to have a good time, you can come to our shop and order a haggis rice noodle, and ask for some spicy stewed noodles to eat, just like what you ordered.Yang Ye smiled, didn't answer, and said for a long time, it was still cold skewers that drove the business of the surrounding stalls, and this kind of thing had also happened when they set up stalls in Wenyang County before.It's just that the cold skewers in Wenyang County are not like those in the capital, and you can't buy them in a queue.He paid the money first, and then ate the rice noodles slowly, looking at the cold skewer stall, the hot and spicy rice noodles were on the mutton soup, and the hot people at this time sweated like rain, and after eating the rice noodles, he looked at the people in the shop, and he sat and didn't leave, the sun was big outside, and it was even hotter.At about four o'clock, he saw a sedan chair parked in the small street near the alley, and no one came out until the cold skewer shop was sold out, and the diners were scolding and scolding.It's not that the enemies don't get together, Yang Ye got up and saw that it was Song Yiyu.Hawker, can you think about what I asked you yesterday?
This is our son, thinking of your hard work in setting up a stall every day, on top of the price said yesterday, our son can give you another fifty taels of silver.The servant of the Song family coerced and lured: More than two hundred taels of silver, enough for you to buy a small shop in the capital and marry a daughter-in-law, compared to being exposed to the scorching sun, it must be much more comfortable.Even if it is Qifu, he also knows that he wants to send him away for more than two hundred taels of silver, he really looks down on people, and he can earn a hundred taels in half a month, and now the business is in full swing, and he can earn the price given by this person in less than two months, not to mention that the master is well-informed and unwilling, even his narrow-minded slave will not be willing.Childe, this recipe is not mine, it belongs to the master of our family, where do I have the qualifications to buy and sell the recipe for helping the head of the family, that is, I want to sell it, so I don't know what the recipe is.Song Yiyu sneered: What a cunning vendor.No wonder he didn't get it done when he called the servant yesterday, and he had to go out in person: add another fifty taels to you!
If you add another five hundred taels, I won't be able to be the master.After that, Qifu was about to push the cart away, and suddenly several servants of the Song family carrying the sedan chair stood in a row and blocked his way.Since you are doing things for your master, who are you masters?
Before Qifu could answer, Yang Ye came down from the rice noodle shop: Yo, isn't this Song Gongzi?
What's the matter, can't you buy something and lose your temper on the street and don't let the hawker go home?
It seems that Song Gongzi really likes to be domineering on the Beijing Street.Song Yiyu saw the comer clearly, and he was angry, if it weren't for him Yang Ye, he would not have been sued by Jiang Jian, causing him to be grounded at home by his father for a long time, now his father took a fancy to this small stall, he was trying to behave well, but he never wanted to meet Yang Ye again.Nowadays, Yang Ye is a six-grade official, and he has no official position, and he has to salute him with a smile, which really makes him angry: Lord Yang smiled, but I heard that the food here tastes good, and the little sister loves to eat every day.Yang Ye dragged out his tone: So that's the case~ But since Song Gongzi came out to buy food, why bother to take out such a big battle and scare the hawkers, if it causes misunderstanding among the people, it will spread the word everywhere at that time, not to mention the damage to Song Gongzi's reputation, and he has to ask Song Master to run around to avoid rumors.Song Yiyu's face turned blue: Lord Yang is really warm-hearted, and he even asked about the affairs of our Song family, it seems that the court is idle.I am a six-rank petty official, I just have to do my job well, and it is not up to me to be idle in the court.After speaking, Yang Ye said: Then I will leave first.Song Yiyu listened to Yang Ye leaving, his heart was a little more comfortable, there was no obstructive person present, he was naturally easy to do, but he didn't have time to be happy, and heard Yang Ye say to the hawker: Qifu, don't go quickly.Yang Ye took two steps and seemed to remember something, turned his head to Song Yiyu, who was about to stop Qifu with his eyebrows, and said: By the way, our family's recipe is really not for sale, Song Gongzi is generous, and our small stall can't afford it.Song Yiyu's back stiffened, and he said that something was wrong, why did Yang Ye know the name of this vendor, it turned out to be his Yang family's property, and his face immediately turned blue and red, and it was a coincidence that he couldn't write a book, he felt both annoyed and embarrassed, and his tone was sour and poisonous: Lord Yang is really leisurely, and he is willing to set up a stall.Song Gongzi is serious, you are willing to buy it, how can I be embarrassed to sell it.Song Yiyu was embarrassed, and yelled at his servant with a cold face: What are you doing with the pestle, don't leave!
Seeing the sedan chair swaying away from the small street, Qi Fule said: It's still an adult, and he retired the young master in a few words.Yang Ye said: This is Song Yiyu, the son of the Song University scholar.This time I kicked the iron plate here, and it is indispensable to toss when I go back, you set up a stall and be vigilant, don't let them hold the handle and make a fuss.Qifu Zhengse responded.........
Inside the Song Mansion.Song Tingyou heard the housekeeper say that the eldest young master went out to run for the small stall, and when he was relieved, he saw Song Yiyu come back with a straight face, and Song Tingyou immediately knew that the matter had not been done.The peddler won't sell?
Song Yiyu sighed and shook his head.I didn't blush when I drove to three hundred taels, so there must be someone behind me.Dad is like a god, can you know who is behind the hawker?
Song Tingyou's old face was unpredictable: Could it be that he was under the prince of the world?
The capital belongs to the world's industry, and most of the tea in the capital is supplied by it, and it is not surprising to get some surprising things from time to time, but Yiyu went to buy the son, I don't know if it offended the prince.However, Song Yiyu replied indignantly: No, that small stall was actually opened by Yang Ye!
Song Tingyou breathed a sigh of relief, but his face fell: Yang Ye?
Is this true?
How can it be fake, today I went to stop the peddler, and I happened to bump into Yang Ye, who admitted it himself.It's him again!
Song Ting's angry palm pressed on the corner of the table.He has complicated emotions in his heart, not only resentful that he blocked the back road too hard at the beginning, but also regretful for missing talented people, and angry at Sun Liran's girl who doesn't know what to do, and now people can't recruit his subordinates, these resentful anger can only be thrown on Yang Ye.Since he doesn't want to sell it, it's just an inconspicuous stall, selling some cold things, and ordinary people want to be fresh, but anyone with a little decent body will not buy it, and it won't become any climate.After speaking, he was puzzled again: You asked Miao Miaoshao to have some dealings with that Sun Liran, so as to save him some bad temperament.Song Yiyu glanced at his father leisurely, but he didn't dare to interject more.A few days later, on the seventh day of the seventh month, Qifu reported that Yang Ye received a big order, an official was celebrating his birthday at home, and he wanted to order cold skewers, and asked for twenty catties of cold skewers at one time, half of meat and half of vegetarian meat, and asked Yang Ye if he wanted to take it.Yang Ye listened to the people of the Hanlin Academy, it seems that the coated guards are participating in the 50th birthday, and the emperor also deliberately allocated gifts to congratulate the birthday, and the military staff leader is very proud, and wants to invite some officials to the house as guests, that is, the day after tomorrow, the person who wants to come and order the cold skewers is also the senator's family.Pick up, why don't you pick it up.Twenty pounds at a time and no need to wear strings, which is much more convenient.The next day, when he came back from the court, Ah Xi handed him an invitation, but he didn't expect that the senator, who had never been sociable, could still afford him a six-grade petty official, and even he was among the invites.Since the invitation was sent and the two had no grudges, Yang Ye planned to prepare a generous gift tomorrow or go to the banquet.Originally, he wanted to take Ah Xi with him, but he was afraid that there were many people with many eyes and some baskets, so he had to go alone.The banquet was held in the evening, and the officials invited to the court changed into their regular clothes and went to the mansion of the senator.When Yang Ye came down from the sedan chair, he saw that there were many sedan chairs parked outside the consulate's mansion, large or small or luxurious, very lively, all the officials were smiling, changing their serious expressions when they were in the main hall, and they talked outside the consulate's mansion.Although the martial staff leader has reached the age of fifty, the spirit of the martial arts practitioner is always better than that of the literati, and today is very happy, and he is full of red light, and he warmly beckons the guests to enter at the door.After reviewing the invitation card and sending the gifts, Yang Ye had no friends to greet as soon as he was in office for less than two months, so he went into the mansion with a short body, who expected that he would collide with Song Tingyou, who was talking and laughing, and the two were stunned, and then as if they had nothing to do with it, the juniors saluted with the seniors and walked away.But how much I don't want to see it, I will be pulled together, the position of the dinner is arranged, and the military staff knows that the civil and military attaches have never dealt with each other, so they don't let the civil officials and military attaches be at the same table, and the two sides are separated, and Yang Ye and the high-ranking Lord Song sit at the same table.Due to the face of the people at the table, although the two responded to each other, they also maintained a state of discord between their faces and hearts, but they did not avoid the confrontation.The matter started from a dish, the orchid as the shading plate was placed on the table by the maidservant, which happened to contain the cold skewers bought from Yang Ye's stall, although the skewers were not worn, but the people who knew the goods recognized the cold skewers at a glance.On weekdays, the food that you can't necessarily buy in line is bought by the senator for a table and a plate, and the adults want to politely praise the sensibilitar's ability and wide network of contacts, who knows that these words have touched Song Tingyou's reverse scales.Originally, I was not happy to see Yang Ye invited to the banquet, but now the people at the table also praised how delicious the cold skewers were, and how capable the leaders were, and they were even more unhappy in their hearts.The people at the table fell silent when they heard this, and at this time, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites said in a haha round: The lower officials saw that this dish was very good for drinking, and presumably the military staff leader also wanted to prepare a good banquet for the military attachés.Song Tingyou didn't go down the ladder: only those rough-skinned military attachés didn't taboo anything, and these things were also in their mouths.When Yang Ye saw Song Tingyu say this, he took a piece of hairy belly and was sending it to his mouth.As the saying goes, fried radish has its own love, if Lord Song doesn't like it, don't move the chopsticks.Song Tingyou glanced at Yang Ye: The old man can't use chopsticks, and the officials of the court eat these foods, so that the people will probably think that the court will not issue moon silver.Lord Song said this, when this cold skewer is difficult to eat, two days ago, the old man went to line up to buy, but looking at the second lady of the Song Mansion also asked the maid to go, I don't know that the Song Mansion bought food to reward the next person to eat?
What's so bad about this cold skewer?
Although the ingredients are disdainful, the vendors do this, the taste is really good, the price is also affordable, and the people and wealthy businessmen can buy it.The emperor advocated not to treat things with outdated ideas, how could Lord Song be so strict with the food of a small vendor?
