Chapter 23 Soy Sauce

"This month's 16th, OK, I remember, I will definitely visit you then."

When Huang Bo saw the things that the mother and daughter were carrying, he hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, I want to go to the garden outside the city, and I can take you along the way. There are so many things, it is not convenient for you to carry them."

Li Qiniang smiled and refused: "That's so bad, wouldn't it delay your business?"

"It won't be delayed. Even without you, I would have passed by the intersection of Huichang Street."

What Huang Bo said is true. No matter which city gate you go from Dengshi Street, you have to pass through the intersection of Huichang Street.

Li Qiniang was not polite, and the old servant helped them put the big bags on the mule cart. The mule cart was specially used for picking up goods. Huang Bo sat in front, and the mother and daughter sat next to each other.

When Li Qiniang saw a dozen small jars half a foot high on the mule cart, she asked, "Is there any Huang family goods on the streets of Dengshi? Why didn't I see them today?"

"Not yet. Over the years, my family only has an old shop in the city, but it will be available soon. I set up a shop on Dengshi Street to open a branch."

Any old brand that has been around for hundreds of years is inevitably a bit conservative in business. The same is true for Huangjia Sauce Garden. The old shops in the city line up from morning to night. If they go late and before they can reach themselves, the shop will be closed. Laoping City people scold the children at home for being too lazy. There is an old saying, "Just be lazy, lazy people can't eat Huangjia pickles."

Li Qiniang became interested: "I heard that the soy sauce in your Huang family is more famous than pickles and soy sauce. They served wine and vinegar bureaus in their early years?"

"That was during the reign of Emperor Taizong. The capital was still in the old capital at that time. The ancestors were unwilling to move the garden to the old capital. Pingcheng was too far away. Soy sauce was transported from thousands of miles away, and the losses were severe. The eunuchs from the Wine and Vinegar Bureau could not bear the responsibility. After a while, they did not offer any more."

The same soy sauce from the Huang family will be greatly reduced if it is replaced by the cellar and water. This is why the ancestors of the Huang family would rather cut off the business of imperial offerings than move places.

Yan Xuehuai knew nothing about these things. If she had known this would be the day she would have been so desperate in her previous life, what kind of French would she learn? Wouldn't the chef's technical school be nice?

Li Qiniang was obviously interested: "Huang Shaodong, my small shop wants to use your soy sauce, so how about not queuing up?"

"Sister-in-law, call me Abo. Speaking of which, your shop has a relationship with my family. You are in business, so you are different from ordinary people who buy food and food, and the prices for goods are different. If you use my stuff, you just need to find Kuan Bo. In the future, the shops on Dengshi Street will be managed by Kuan Bo. If you go to the old shop, you will find Du Tian. You have seen him that day, and he is also an old man in my family."

Kuanbo is the old servant who is following Huang Bo.

Li Qiniang thanked her and suddenly remembered her daughter beside her and said quickly: "Look, I forgot to introduce her. My surname is Li. This is my daughter, and she is still young."

Women around the age of thirty will first say their husband's surname, such as "my master's surname is Li" or "the head of the family's surname is Li". This is the first time Huang Bo has met someone who directly said "my surname is Li" like Li. Even the famous female leader of the Cao Gang also calls herself the Zhou family of the Li family.

Although Huang Bo found Li Qiniang's claim to be strange, he was just a flash of thought. This was someone else's business and had nothing to do with him.

He smiled and nodded: "Sister Li, Miss Li."

Yan Xuehuai saw that he mistakenly thought his surname was Li, but he did not correct it.

She wished she had nothing to do with the Yan family.

Li Qiniang did not correct it. If the government allowed children other than the son-in-law to change their surnames at will, she immediately asked her daughter to take her surname.

The mule cart was parked at the intersection of Huichang Street, and Huang Bo followed him off and carried Li Qiniang and Yan Xuehuai to the door of the shop with his things.

Huang Bo did not enter the door, so he put the things at the door and said goodbye.

Yan Xuehuai opened the shop. The mother and the other two were about to go in. The owner of the roasted shop next to him came over with a smile: "Oh, I'm buying so many things, is it going to open the business?"

Yan Xuehuai met this boss lady, one of the several aunts who helped her quarrel with Wang that day.

Her head of the family was named Zhang, and ranked fifth. The neighbors called them Zhang Wu Ge and Zhang Wu Sister.

Li Qiniang also heard from her daughter that Zhang Wu's sister-in-law had helped her. She quickly smiled and said, "The 16th business will be opened, and the fifth sister-in-law will definitely come here at that time."

Zhang Wushu saw that the shop only moved into the mother and daughter, and they were orphans and widows. The widows of wealthy families could not go out of the door, either keep their integrity or return home. The common people do not have so many qualities. If they don’t come out to work, what can they use to support their children?

This widow is not the only one on Huichang Street. The Changji cloth shop has the largest business. The female owner is a widow. She takes her mother-in-law to support a family business and raises two children and a daughter. Now the business is so big. There are semicolons in Xinjing, Baozhou and Shunzhou. When the old lady Fan of the Chang family is mentioned in Xinjing, Xinjing, who dares to call Chang Widow again? Who is not respectful?

When I heard that the shop opened at 16, Zhang Wushu's smile came straight to his eyes: "That's good. If you don't bother to cook in the future, you will eat in your shop."

"Look at what you said, distant relatives are worse than close neighbors. Then you shout at the door and I'll bring them over to you." Yan Xuehuai came over.

Zhang Wushao looked at Yan Xuehuai and liked him more and more. That day, she just thought the child was too thin. Now she looked carefully and had delicate facial features. If she was a little fatter, she would be a pretty girl.

More importantly, this girl is capable.

If you don’t say anything else, just talk about this shop. It can be snatched from Wang’s hands. Isn’t it possible or something?

Zhang Wusao has two sons at home, both of whom are fifteen or sixteen years old. Now, when Zhang Wusao sees girls of the same age, she has to automatically substitute them into her own son.

A capable wife is suitable for the boss and can help him to support his business in the future.

As for the second wife, you have to find a gentle and obedient person. In the future, two daughters-in-law will be in charge of the outside and the inside, so that their lives will be better and better.

Zhang Wushu's mind was moving quickly, pointing at the back that could still be seen in front of him: "That person was your relative just now? The young man is not young yet?"

Li Qiniang didn't think much and said directly: "That's the young owner of the one we purchased. She happened to go to deliver the goods. Seeing that we were getting too many things, she brought us over."

It turned out that it was in business, as long as it was not a future son-in-law, Zhang Wushao was too lazy to ask which boss he was.

Zhang Wushu returned to her shop and came back soon, with a bag of fried melon seeds in her hand.

"I'm having fun while I'm idle at night. I've added licorice. I won't get angry if I eat too much."

Yan Xuehuai sent Zhang Wusao out and was about to close the door when he suddenly saw a familiar figure not far away.

She ran over quickly: "Aunt Mo Yu, are you here to find me?"
