Chapter 143: A New Way to Make Money
Today is the market, and there are many people coming to the town, so the business of Ping An Hotel is better than usual.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw an old-fashioned counter. A woman in her thirties sat behind the counter, wearing a floral top and a braid. Her face was plump and her eyes were full.
On the wall behind her was a menu, with black and white words, handwritten, with very straight lines and regular strokes. And the dishes were also very simple, and you could basically tell what dishes it was at a glance.
Jiang Songhai saw a ginger-snail meat at first glance, priced at 18 yuan, and immediately had the urge to turn around and escape.
"Grandpa, you can find a seat first, I'll order food." Jiang Xiao knew at a glance that he was scared, so how dare he ask him to order food?
"Xiaoxiao, why don't we buy a few more vegetarian buns?" A big bun costs one cent, but it's much cheaper than a restaurant! This dish can buy a large bag of buns.
"Grandpa, we have money." Jiang Xiaoke didn't plan to make money and it was important to suck the stomach of his family. Otherwise, why would he work hard to make money?
They also have to find a place to stay. They go out to buy things at noon, and after buying, they have to walk back to Siyang Village, for fear that their grandfather would have worked too hard.
Moreover, she also wanted to hear if the guests in the hotel talked about anything, such as what happened last night in the dark alley.
Jiang Songhai had no choice but to sit down at a table in the corner.
He put the basket at his feet, which were three empty sacks inside, with two handfuls of herbs left on it. Someone walked by, and Jiang Songhai repeatedly moved the basket to his feet, for fear that it would hinder others' eyes and block others' path.
Sitting in this bright hotel, he felt uncomfortable and had nowhere to rest his hands and feet.
Jiang Xiao stood in front of the counter and ordered dishes. She ordered a plate of fried river shrimp, a plate of shredded ginger and snail meat, and a plate of sliced cabbage. The three were all meat dishes, so Jiang Xiao wanted to give her grandfather the opportunity to eat more meat and supplement some protein. If she wanted to eat vegetarian dishes, why did they come to the restaurant?
Fried river shrimps with nine pounds, one piece of ginger, one piece of 8 pounds, and eight cents of cabbage with three dishes. These three dishes cost more than seven yuan. One ounce of rice and one cent, Jiang Xiao ordered four ounces for grandpa, and she also ordered three ounces for herself, and a total of four ounces for four ounces.
In fact, not to mention Jiang Songhai’s heartache, Jiang Xiao also felt very painful when she paid back the money.
They earned twenty-four yuan through hard work, and ate a big hole in one meal.
However, Jiang Xiao had just seen another table. The dishes were very large. All three of them could have two meals. She and her grandfather would definitely not finish them, so they planned to keep half of each dish after the dishes came and take them back. Grandma didn't have to cook for the evening, so she could also try it.
Of course, in addition to these expensive dishes, Ping An Hotel is more of the cheap vegetarian dishes, which cost a few cents a day. So, when I saw Jiang Xiao’s little bit of it, there were three hard dishes, the woman who collected the money couldn’t help but look at her more.
At this time, Jiang Xiao was seeing a cold bracken on the recipe and felt a little moved.
"Auntie, is this cold bracken, wild?"
The woman couldn't help laughing, "Little girl, you're so funny. You're not wild. Is there anyone else who uses the fields to grow bracken?"
At this time, in addition to rice, every household planted the mainstream vegetables, fruits and melons in the fields. Bracken is a wild vegetable on the mountain, so who can grow it?
So she thought Jiang Xiao asked a funny question.
Jiang Xiao didn't expect that there were wild vegetables in Ping'an Hotel. She immediately thought of a question and asked again: "Auntie, if we can find bracken, will the hotel buy it? Also, do you want Tianxiang Lu? Do you want wild mushrooms? If we find other mountain products, do you want it?"
