    The world's first crowdsourcing-driven asian bl novel translation community

    As Sunny Seen and Coconut Green Sorbet became popular all over the city, more and more people got to know Nianyun Tangshui Shop.

    People who come to the Tangshui shop are not only those who eat Guiling jelly, double skin milk and other syrups, but also those who come to cool off.

    Isn't that right, Master Chen is backed by a cold ice store with a large amount of ice storage, and the ice cubes in the sugar water store cost nothing, and the store is cooler than anyone else's!

    It's just that Guiling jelly for one tael is too expensive to eat casually, but you can also eat cheaper double-skin milk, a plate of small crispy meat for a hundred cents, and a glass of drink for twenty cents.Sit in there for a while!

    Those who are more sociable, make an appointment with three or two close friends in the boudoir, order a portion of Guiling jelly, and a few portions of food, and they can stay from morning to afternoon. It is the best social place!

    As a result, the Tangshui shop was full every day.

    Since the coolest place in the Prefecture City is not easy to grab a spot every day, the best thing to do is stay at home to enjoy the coolness, and send the family boy to buy a cold drink directly at the Tangshui shop and enjoy it at home.

    And because Five Willow Lane is near the river - at the beginning, Chen Nianguan took a fancy to the superior location of this alley. Many ladies and gentlemen like to go out on a painting boat, and when they enjoy the cool water, they will call maidsShop for food at the Tangshui shop.

    There are also many flower boats, where the flower girls and oirans entertain the guests, and they also send maids to the store to place orders.

    Chen Nianguan doesn't care about his identity, since the visitors are all customers anyway, as long as he can make money, he started to prepare for the takeaway business.

    It just so happens that there are more Liu Cai and Liu Wang, and it is enough to find two local guys who specialize in food delivery. These four people can be considered as a food delivery team, with basic salary + tips, and she is responsible for the basic salary of 200 yuan a month., As for the tips given by the diners after delivering the sugar water to the diners, no matter how much they are, they belong to themselves, which can be regarded as their compensation for running under the scorching sun.

    Of course, the consequences and costs of accidents or damage to the food during the delivery period must be settled by yourself.

    Liu Cai and Liu Wang originally wanted to stay in Prefecture City to make money, but Master Chen also provided board and lodging—the cold ice shop was rebuilt from three wing rooms and a half-drawn courtyard.The four beasts are not willing to go back to the backyard to live. At night, when the ice shop closes, they move the bedding and go to live in the shop. The innermost wing of the ice shop is connected to the ice cellar, so it is cool.

    Liu Cai and Liu Wang also wanted to go to the ice shop to make a floor, and Chen Nianguan followed them.

    So they are naturally happy.

    As for the two local guys, they naturally knew a little bit about the market, and knew that some people were generous with tipping. When Chen Nianguan said that the tipping was his own, they happily took over the job.

    Since then, the takeaway department of Tangshui Shop has been appointed. In order to win the favor of diners, all four of them work hard.

    After a few days, although was sweating profusely from running, also earned a lot of tips, so was naturally full of joy.

    It was the first time that Liu Cai and Liu Wang knew that the rich people would pay extra money for running errands in addition to buying food, and at night they showed off happily to the four beasts with a half-hundred-cent tip.

    The four beasts were not as knowledgeable as they were, they turned their heads and lay on their backs, humming.

    Want to tell them, can we earn two taels of silver a month?There are five taels of bonuses at the end of the month?

    don't!

    If you want to say it out, what if the two of them come to grab our jobs and compete for jobs?

    That's right, don't say it, don't say it!

    Ok!

    The four beasts calmed down and fell asleep.

    Seeing the popularity of coconut water and green coconut parfait, Chen Nianguan began to imagine making these two products the main products of Tangshuipu.

    After all, coconut is a product that is available all year round in the tropical seaside, and besides making green coconut sorbet, the coconut meat has many other uses, such as making coconut milk, coconut sugar, and coconut water.Use it to make soup. Let’s learn more about coconut chicken. Take the coconut meat to a pho shop. Coconut chicken soup can also be a choice for soup pho!

    Uh-huh, logically speaking, it is a very stable series that can be continued.

    However, coconuts are only found in tropical seaside. If you bring them back, you must also ensure that the coconut juice and coconut meat are tender and sweet, and the quality must be controlled.

    The young coconuts bought from that sea merchant this time are all pretty good.

    So Chen Nianguan ran back to the Funing County Wharf to find the sea merchant to negotiate a large and long-term purchase of young coconuts for a living.

    The sea merchant, surnamed Hu, successfully sold Nanyang Zhenguo to Master Chen twice. He has a good impression of Chen Nianguan and is also very interested in the cooperation she proposed.

    Hu Haishang said that the coconuts were picked on the trading islands when they went out to sea with merchant ships. Because the coconut shell is thick, it well protects the juice and pulp inside and is easy to transport, and the sea merchants have also been to Qiongzhou further south., saw local people eating this fruit, so tried to transport it back.

    It's just that the thick shell has also become an obstacle to sales. Most people are unwilling to buy it, because it is difficult to open it when they buy it back. The sea merchants sell it expensively. Some people think that coconut juice is delicious, but each one is only a little bit spicy.Money is not a good deal, and as for giving away dignitaries, well, there is no way for maritime merchants, so it is unsalable.

    After hearing this, Chen Nianguan also felt that Hu Haishang was really a man who dared to think and act, and was right in his own way. He immediately had a cordial conversation with him, and then agreed that Hu Haishang would supply coconuts to Chen Nianguan on a regular basis.Ye Qing costs 150 Wen each, and Coconut and Ye Huang both cost 100 Wen each.

    Uh-huh, Young Ye, Coconut, and King Ye are actually names for the same kind of coconut in different periods.

    Coconut green is the coconut that has not fully matured. The surface is usually green, so it is called young coconut. Because it is an immature coconut, the juice inside is the most, and it is also the sweetest and most delicious, while the coconut meat is the softest.Entrance.

    Coconuts are young coconuts in the mature stage. The skin is yellow. As the coconuts mature, the coconut meat will become thicker and the juice inside will be relatively reduced. However, the coconut flavor of both is the most mellow.

    As for the coconut king, it is an old coconut. The coconut juice is the least delicious of the three coconuts, but the coconut meat is the most fragrant and refreshing of the three.

    In the last life, the coconuts that Chen Nianguan saw in the world were all peeled off. It took a lot of effort to distinguish between these three types of coconuts. Hu Haishang only knew that the thick shell was easy to storeFor transportation, I didn’t know that there is such a distinction between coconuts. After listening to Chen Nianguan’s talk, I suddenly realized.

    Of course, after discussing the price with Hu Haishang, it is natural to talk about follow-up quality control issues.

    The three kinds of coconuts purchased according to the quality, if Chen Nianguan finds that the ones are bitter or spoiled after buying them back, he has the right to return them to Hu Haishang. This ensures that Hu Haishang must also choose good quality coconuts.

    Seeing that there were stable buyers, Hu Haishang naturally nodded in agreement.

    "By the way, if you are going further south, can you also buy some lychees?"

    July is the juiciest and sweetest time for late-ripening lychees.

    After buying it, you can eat it as fruit or make lychee syrup!

    "Master Chen, it's not that we don't want to buy it, the lychees are easy to spoil when picked!" Hu Haishang reminded.

    That’s right, lychees change color in one day and taste in three days. Whether Hu Haishang goes to the south or the island he mentioned, it takes at least ten days to go back and forth.After the peak period of lychee, I am afraid there will not be much left.

    So had to give up and wait until next year to make plans.

    Of course, seeing that Chen Nianguan was so interested in these tropical fruits, Hu Haishang seemed to be very familiar with them, and promised that if he saw any rare fruits again, he would bring them back and sell them to Chen Nianguan.

    Therefore, the cooperation contract with Hu Haishang was signed, and Nianyun Tangshui shop added a stable series of syrups.

    If there are enough coconuts brought back by Hu Haishang, Chen Nianguan also plans to launch the Sunny Coconut Juice series at two pho shops, or use coconut meat to make coconut milk directly for sale.

    After buying it, just teach Liu Shan and Zheng Erge how to use coconut juice and how to cook chicken soup with coconut meat.

    About ten days later, Hu Haishang really brought back a boatload of coconuts.

    Chen Nianguan personally inspected and received the goods, and purchased all of Hu Haishang's coconuts according to the agreed conditions and prices.

    As for the storage problem after the acquisition, it is not a problem.

    Yanlai Lane has its own ice cellar. The ones that are supplied to the main store are directly stored in a small warehouse, and a batch is sent to the store in a fixed amount every day.As for the Tangshui Shop and the West Store, apart from taking ice cubes from the cellar of the small warehouse during transportation, when they return to Prefecture City, storage is naturally not a big problem.

    As a result, Tangshuipu soon announced that Qingtianjianyinzi and coconut green cold cakes had become regular products, not only that, but also new varieties, such as coconut milk, coconut shredded cake, coconut red bean paste, etc., Prefecture City set off a new waveThe coconut boom has brought wave after wave of revenue to Tangshuipu.

    When Tangshui Shop's business was booming, Chen Nianguan began to think about buying a shop.

    Well, Liu's nagging, of course she took it to heart. In order to go to Capital City, she forced to suppress the beast in her heart to buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, and blindly expand her business territory.

    However, there is still a shop that she really wants to buy.

    It's the store in the West Store.

    The shops in Xidian are rented, and the rent costs more than two hundred taels a year.

    When first rented a shop, the two hundred taels was a big expense. After all, she didn’t have any money at that time, and she just found a partner to collect fifty taels of silver per person.up.

    Well, but for the current Chen Nianguan, more than two hundred taels is a trivial matter, nothing to worry about.

    After all, there are two million-dollar rich women, huh!

    So she wanted to just buy the shop!

    It's good to buy it, so that the owner of the shop will raise the rent at that time, or use some excuses not to rent them, and according to her estimation, the shop should not be as expensive as the one on Five Willow Lane, 1,500 taelsLeft and right should be able to win.

    The problem is, if she wants to buy it, the owner may not be willing to sell it!

    Chen Nianguan then went to the original dental shop to inquire about the situation of the shops in Xidian.

    The shopkeeper heard that he wanted to know whether the shop was for sale, and also knew the identity of Chen Nianguan, so he said very kindly: "Master Chen, don't worry, we know the owner of the shop well. If he has any intentions, we will help you."to ask?"

    This Yaren guy is the one who Chen Nianguan wanted to find a shop to open an ice shop at the beginning. He didn't expect that Chen Nianguan didn't like the shop in their shop, but turned around and cooperated with Jiang's, and really opened an ice shop..

    The incidents between Master Chen and Cui Siye's family broke out in Prefecture City, and the people in the dental shop were the most well-informed, so they naturally inquired clearly. Jiang's family sent people to help Master Chen.Everyone knows.

    What is the origin of the Jiang family? It is not clear that these dental firms do business?

    Terrible, the woman who is backed by the Jiang family!

    The clerk of the dental shop was dedicated to selling Chen Nianguan a good deal. When he learned that Chen Nianguan wanted to buy a shop, he expressed his loyalty and went to ask the owner behind the western shop.

    Well, Chen Nianguan, the woman with Jiang's back, just went back to Five Willow Lane and waited for the news.

    Three days later, the dental staff came to Five Willow Lane to bring news to Chen Nianguan.

    "Master Chen, the master, I heard that you want to buy the shop, and it's not impossible for him to sell it to you."

    Oh?Then why is he still smiling so weirdly?

    "That is, there is a condition?"

    What conditions?

    "His family's grandson, Ku Xia, doesn't want to eat anything, so I want to invite you to come over and make some food that the young master likes to eat and is easy to digest." The dental shop clerk looked at Master Chen and smiled, "II feel that Master Chen's culinary skills are so superb, presumably this condition should not be difficult."

    Tsk!

    My reputation has spread far and wide, so many people know that my culinary skills are top-notch, can I match the level of imperial chefs in this dynasty?Chen Nianguan agreed to the condition with confidence, and followed Yaren to the master's house.

    By the way, the family name of this master is Lin. It is said that the ancestors once graduated from the Hanlin University, and now there are sons who hold real positions in the court. Tsk tsk, it is a scholarly family, and the Prefecture City is indeed a hidden dragon and crouching tiger.All of them are big shots.

    It was Mrs. Lin, the mistress of the Lin family, who met Chen Nianguan.

    Originally, when Chen Nianguan entered the Lin Mansion with carved dragons and painted buildings, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

    Because was unhappy in Xuanping Houzu's Cui Mansion before, was a little allergic to ptsd, when saw Mrs. Lin, was relieved, she recognized that this Mrs. Lin was also a frequent visitor to the Tangshui shop.

    Sure enough, seeing Chen Nianguan, Mrs. Lin also smiled: "Master Chen, this is the first time we meet in a place other than Tangshui shop!"

    Chen Nianguan saluted respectfully: "Mrs. Lin!"

    Since she has been to the Tangshui shop several times, Mrs. Lin knows a little about Chen Nianguan, so she is not restrained, and directly talks about her own child.

    It turned out to be Mrs. Lin's youngest son, Lin Xiaolang. He is about five years old this year. He is usually raised with his palms in his arms and is well-clothed and well-fed., Everyone in the Lin family was worried and tried every means to coax Lin Xiaolang to eat.

    "This year is a bit better. First, the food from the rice noodle shop was fresh. He ate it once and liked it. He asked people to buy food from the rice noodle shop every now and then. Later, Master Chen's sugar water shop also opened.Yes, he likes all the sweet water in the store, especially the recently launched coconut green sorbet and coconut milk, he has to eat four servings a day, but the food is cold, cold, eat too much,Xiao Lang couldn't take it anymore, so I had no choice but to stop him from eating."

    Madam Lin sighed.

    That's natural, although it's hot in summer and many people like to drink and eat cold sugar water, but the ladies and girls in the sugar water shop also go there every now and then, which is considered restraint, Lin Xiaolang is only fiveOver the age, naturally can not eat too much refrigerated food.

    "Don't let him eat it. He can't eat any other food. He has to continue to eat the sugar water from Master Chen's shop. He wants to eat coconut ice cream every day. I can't help it. I just thought that Master Chen, since you are a good cookGreat, can you make something that is not cold food, but can make our brother Ling like to eat?"

    That's what happened!

    Chen Nianguan understood and met Lin Xiaolang.

    Knowing that Chen Nianguan is the owner of the Tangshui Shop, Lin Xiaolang raised his drooping head, and shouted at Mrs. Lin with round eyes: "Mother, Mother, you really invited the most powerful cook in Prefecture City to your house, and you are here to serve him.Make me something to eat?"

    Hmm, Chen Nianguan is still inexplicably happy to be called the best cook in Prefecture City by Lin Xiaolang.

    Oh, the best cook, wouldn't that knock down all the other best cooks in Prefecture City?

    Chen Nianguan immediately fell in love with this little boy, and asked him almost all the sweets in the sugar shop, which ones he likes the most, and which ones he dislikes the most. Knowing that Lin Xiaolang is most fascinated by the coconut series in the city, he turned around and asked Lin XiaolangMa'am, after Lin Xiaolang had something to eat, Chen Nianguan decided to make something for Lin Xiaolang.

    Then asked someone to go to the Tangshui shop to get four coconut kings, as well as the prepared coconut meat paste and some prepared coconut milk!

    Since Lin Xiaolang likes to eat coconut products, cold products are not suitable, just cook him hot food!

    Beat two eggs first, separate the egg whites from the egg yolks, and then beat them separately, just like making a cake into a creamy state, then pour the egg yolk liquid into the protein liquid, then sift the fine flour and stir well,

    Add the coconut meat paste and some honey, mix well, then put it in the drawer and steam it,

    After solidification and shaping, the coconut egg sweet cake is ready!

    Light yellow on the outside and soft on the inside, it tastes like crunchy coconut meat, which is more nutty and sweet than ordinary muffins!

    This is considered as a dessert after the meal. As for the main course, it is nasi lemak.

    Place the King Coconut on the table, and keep it stable, peel off a small part of the shell to form a closed cover, then pour out the coconut juice for later use, and peel off the outer skin.

    Wash the rice and put it into the coconut shell. About half of the amount of ????? rice, do not add water, instead use coconut milk, pour it into the coconut shell, cover the rice grains slightly, and close the lid.

    The four coconut kings all deal with it in this way,

    In addition, take a large pot, put in an appropriate amount of water, put the four coconut kings into the water, close the lid, turn on the fire, and use the water temperature to cook the rice in the coconut shell.

    Clean some fresh shrimps you bought,

    Garlic peeled and chopped, ginger slices shredded, scallion white chopped, shallots diced,

    In addition, spare a little original scallop sauce,

    Take the pan, heat the oil, fry an egg skin first,

    Then pour the above ingredients except the scallions into the pot and stir fry, then add the shrimp and stir fry,

    After the rice in the coconut shell is cooked, mix the boiled egg skin with the shrimp and green onion evenly, uncover the lid, pour it into the rice in the coconut shell, and stir well.It's ready to cook,

    The coconut meat in Coconut King is the most fragrant, and with coconut milk instead of water, the rice cooked in the coconut shell has a strong coconut aroma and sweetness.

    Coupled with the fried shrimp and egg skin, the red shrimp in the middle of the white rice noodles, the yellow egg skin, and the green scallions are colorful. To the five-year-old Xiaolang who likes to eat sugar water, how could it not be attractive?force?

    When serving the coconut milk and coconut egg cake, Lin Xiaolang didn’t have any special reaction, but when the four coconut shell rice was brought to Lin Xiaolang, the lid of the coconut shell was still closed, so he couldn’t do anything, and he was helpless.Look at Chen Nianguan.

    Chen Nianguan lifted the lid to reveal the colorful nasi lemak inside, and Lin Xiaolang's eyes widened: "This, the rice, the rice is inside the circle?"

    "Ah, does it look good?"

    Lin Xiaolang nodded.

    "It's still delicious!" Chen Nianguan said, stepped aside, saw the servant who was serving Lin Xiaolang come forward, and respectfully reached out to pick up the spoon, and just about to scoop rice from the coconut shell, Lin Xiaolang stopped him: "Back off, I'll do it myself."

    As he said that, he grabbed the spoon, held the coconut shell, carefully scooped a spoonful, put it into his mouth and took two bites, his little head nodded, "Not bad, not bad, as expected of the best cook in Prefecture City."

    "Thank you, Young Master Lin, for your compliment!"

    Chen Nianguan breathed a sigh of relief.

    Since Lin Xiaolang is satisfied, Mrs. Lin must be willing to sell the shop to her?

    So went to look at Mrs. Lin who was sitting on the side.

    Mrs. Lin was looking at Lin Xiaolang, and seeing that he was willing to eat, her face was very happy, so she reluctantly took her eyes away from her son, then she saw Chen Nianguan sneaking a glance over, she had a meeting in her mind, and asked her servant to look at Lin Xiaolang carefullyAfter cooking, he got up and took Chen Nianguan to the other room.

    "Master Chen is really good at cooking. It's no wonder that Fourth Master Cui, who claims to be a gourmet, will eventually be convinced by the sugar water in Master Chen's shop."

    "Mrs. Lin has won the award." Chen Nianguan smiled, "Then, I made Mrs. Lin a satisfying meal for the young master as promised. What about the pho shop?"

    Mrs. Lin also looked at her: "Of course I'm willing to sell it to Master Chen." Then, she instructed the steward to get the deed of the house, "Besides, I have an unfeeling request, and I hope Master Chen will accept it."of."

    "Madam Lin, please tell me."

    Mrs. Lin didn't say it directly, but instead asked: "When I went to the Tangshui shop, I heard that Master Chen's future husband passed the examination of scholar?"

    "Yes." Chen Nianguan didn't know why Mrs. Lin suddenly mentioned Zhang Erlang's scholar, and was puzzled.

    "Then since I have passed the examination of scholar and qualified for the provincial examination, next month, I am afraid that I will also go to the Gongyuan for reference?"

    "Of course."

    The township examination is held every three years in autumn, and Zhang Erlang will miss this time. If the sage does not open Enke, he will have to wait for three years.

    "Master Chen thinks, Mr. Zhang, can you pass the exam?"

    "Of course I can pass the exam." Chen Nianguan remembered that Zhang Erlang had full confidence in herself, and she also had full confidence in him, and nodded affirmatively.

    "It seems that Master Chen really has high hopes for Mr. Zhang." Mrs. Lin smiled faintly, "Has Master Chen ever thought about what will happen after Mr. Zhang wins the Juren examination?"

    After winning?

    As A Niang said, it is natural to go to Capital City to participate in the exam in February next year.

    If Zhang Erlang is still as lucky as he is now, maybe by then, he will really win the first prize.

    Wait, hasn't she always counted on him so much?

    "The test will be in Capital City, and in February next year. Before that, Mr. Zhang will still be staying at Qingyun Academy, right?"

    "Of course not. At that time, we plan to go to Capital City and study in a college." Chen Nianguan said honestly, "If we can pass the Imperial College entrance examination, I am afraid that we will directly enter Imperial College."

    Mrs. Lin twisted her cuffs, covered the corners of her mouth and smiled, "Although there are many candidates who can enter the Imperial College after passing the entrance examination, not all candidates can pass the entrance examination, Mr. Zhang, it’s good to have this kind of confidence, but if it’s an extra layer of protection, it’s okay, don’t you think so, Master Chen?”

    "I don't quite understand what Mrs. Lin means, so I ask Mrs. Lin for guidance." Chen Nianguan asked frankly.

    "Imperial College is also a place where anyone can get in."

    Imperial College is the highest institution of higher learning, and all scholars in the world yearn to study here, and students who enter Imperial College are called supervising students.

    Juren who pass the entrance examination and enter the Imperial College are called "juren", which is only a part of the supervisory students. In the Imperial College, there are also regular-year tribute students, yin inspectors who enter the Imperial College with kindness, and donated students who enter the Imperial College by donating money and materials.Marquis Xungui's children and so on, and the number of supervisors enrolled in the Imperial College is limited, so it is not because of good grades that they can definitely enter the Imperial College.

    Madam Lin's tone naturally contained doubts and disbelief about whether Zhang Erlang could enter the Imperial College.

    Chen Nianguan also understands.

    Zhang Erlang was not surprised by his talent and learning. Compared with Chen Nianjian and Jiang Yu, he was naturally inferior. Although he unexpectedly passed the exam all the way, he has not stood out until now, but he is only at the bottom of the top two.If you pass the provincial examination, you may not be able to pass the Jinshi in the next step.

    Because the test is to compete with many outstanding people from all over the world, and Zhang Erlang lacks strength no matter how you look at it.

    That's why Mrs. Lin didn't believe that Zhang Erlang could enter Imperial College.

    Chen Nianguan was upset that his future husband was underestimated, but he also admitted the fact, so he asked, "Then, Mrs. Lin, can you give me some advice?"

    Madam Lin pursed her lips and smiled slightly.

    "My Elder Lin family is an official in the court, and now I am fortunate to be a bachelor's student in the Imperial Academy. If Master Chen needs it, I can mention it to the Elder Master. It is not impossible to give Mr. Zhang a letter of recommendation."

    Chen Nianguan was startled for a moment, then thought about it.

    It's not that she doesn't trust Zhang Erlang's strength, since he has vowed to pass the Juren examination, she also expects him to succeed.

    But, after raising people, go to Capital City.

    Now he is fortunate to be favored by Mr. Fan Shan, and he can study in Qingyun Academy, but when he arrives in the Imperial Capital, they can be regarded as the real everything is unfamiliar. It may be much more difficult for them to get into Imperial College than those in Capital City who have the right time and place.

    But it would be better if there was a recommendation letter from Mr. Lin, the Beijing official of the Imperial Academy.

    Didn't it mean that the Lin family had a scholar from the Hanlin Academy in their ancestors?This got a letter of recommendation, and maybe others will give a little favor.

    Multiple roads and multiple choices, not bad!

    So Chen Nianguan immediately asked: "Madam Lin must have something for me?"

    "Well, for Master Chen, it's just a small matter." Mrs. Lin said with a smile, "I'm also doing it for Brother Ling, you are so good at cooking, and Brother Ling also likes your cooking, so I would like to invite youMaster Chen continues to be in charge of Brother Ling's meal."

    "You want me to be the cook of your Lin family?"

    "How could it be the cook?" Mrs. Lin glanced at Chen Nianguan, seeing that her face was neither happy nor angry, she said, "I just hope that you will leave a recipe for my brother's favorite meal just now.Besides, if Brother Ling is getting bored, Master Chen will cook new food for Brother Ling, that’s all.”

    "Is there a time limit?"

    "I won't bother Master Chen all the time. As long as this summer is over, Mr. Zhang will also pass the imperial examination, right?" Mrs. Lin asked, "How?"

    "Okay." Chen Nianguan nodded.

    It's just a matter of developing a few new things to eat, and you can get a letter of recommendation. To her, it's a good deal.

    Therefore, it was decided that every four days, Chen Nianguan would come to the Lin Mansion to make food for Lin Xiaolang.

    The manager of the Lin family also took out the land and house deeds of the shop and handed them over to Chen Nianguan.

    When Chen Nianguan left Lin's residence, he was very happy.

    This trip is worth it!

    Not only did he buy the shop of the rice noodle shop, but he also got Zhang Erlang a recommendation letter from the big boss of the Imperial Academy.

    If Zhang Erlang knew that he was doing this for him, would he be moved to tears?

    In August, golden osmanthus is fragrant.

    At the beginning of the month, many students appeared one after another, earlier and more than the student wave in the previous few months.

    These are scholars who have been waiting for at least three years.

    They all have fame as scholars, some are young and frivolous, some are middle-aged and stable, and some are gray-haired.

    They all came to Prefecture City by coincidence, all for the township examination that started on the eighth day of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.

    The atmosphere in Prefecture City was also different from the previous exams. It suddenly became tense and serious. Even the citizens of Prefecture City, who did not take the exams, also felt this pressure.

    Except, of course, Chen Nianguan.

    After Nianyun Tangshui shop became famous, it is now slowly spreading among the men who came to Prefecture City to take part in the provincial examination.

    Many young men or pampered young masters from wealthy families also come to Tangshui Shop to taste it.

    Glancing at the endless stream of diners, Chen Nianguan smiled with satisfaction, then handed over the home to the well-trained and courteous waiters, and went back behind the counter to quickly calculate the income of the Tangshui shop in July.

    After thinking about it, he couldn't help snickering secretly.

    In June when the store was opened, the profit was less than three hundred taels. At that time, the reputation of the Tangshui shop was not obvious. In July, I had a business battle with Cui Siye. Her ????? Master Chen was both outstanding and dewyIt greatly improved the presence of cold ice shop and sugar water shop.

    With the previous batch of ladies who came to the store to patronize the Guiling Jelly, it was quite effective, word of mouth gradually spread, and there were more and more diners.Don't worry, this moonlight is that the sales of tortoise paste have exceeded 500 taels. It's no wonder that Grandpa Duan is so old, and he is still watching the fire in the backyard every day. Of course, he didn't eat less.

    In addition to our second-in-charge double-skin milk, the coconut series has also become a pillar product of our store, which is popular all over the city, and the income of this part is as high as 400 taels.

    Coupled with the fourth place in charge of sweet bowls, all kinds of sugar water and drinks, as well as the income from limited sales products, the sales volume of Tangshui shop in July exceeded 1,000 taels, but excluding various costs and businessTaxes, net profit of nine hundred and forty taels.

    This figure made Chen Nianguan very satisfied.

    Judging from the huge profit at the beginning of the opening of the rice noodles shop, it gradually decreased month by month, and finally maintained at a changing income. Tangshui shop is coming from behind!

    Heh, Liu Yun, who was only divided into fifty taels last month, can be divided into almost two hundred taels this month. If the girl finds out, I'm afraid she will be very happy.

    really!

    After the sugar shop closed that day, Chen Nianguan showed Liu Yun the account book in the room and calculated it. When he learned that he had a share of 188 taels, Liu Yun grabbed his cousin's arm and gasped for joy.But I'm angry.

    The son of Uncle Liu's family is different from the wife.

    The money earned by sons and daughters has to be handed over to the public, but the wife does not need it. That is to say, Liu Yun earns as much as she earns, and she has saved more than two hundred taels in just two months.However, if the Tangshui Shop's business continues to flourish, it may not be long before Liu Yun will have more money than any of the Liu family's cousins/cousins.

    Liu Yun didn't seem to realize this, and was still immersed in the joy of his sudden increase of more than two hundred taels, feeling dizzy.

    Chen Nianguan didn't bother her either, let her revel in the great surprise that I had money for a while, and then went to find everyone at the cold ice shop.

    Because at the beginning of the month, a wave of customers who received more than 5,000 taels of fixed silver early, so the business made by the cold ice shop will not be as large as last month. Most of them are bulk ice sales, but someCui Siye's 10,000 taels of bank notes were the base, so July was destined to be the most profitable month for the ice shop this year. After all necessary expenses were wiped out, the total net profit was more than 17,000 taels.

    So until today, the titles of the two ten thousand grand rich women have been fully implemented.

    When Cui Siye's big deal was successfully completed, Chen Nianwan gave a wave of bonuses to the Four Great Beasts, Liu Yang, and even Liu Feng. Naturally, there will be a second wave of bonuses today.

    Liu Yang and the four beasts accepted the red envelopes, feeling elated but also slightly melancholy.

    Today, Master Chen said that the ice shop business has entered the last month of this year. After August, the ice shop will be closed. If you want to start this profitable business again, you have to wait for the next year.

    But they only signed a one-year employment agreement with Master Chen, so basically, the end of this month means that the cooperation with Master Chen is also over.

    Leaving the ice cream shop, where would they find a job with such a good owner as Master Chen, and a job with such a lucrative salary and bonus?

    Seemingly seeing the loss and uneasiness in the eyes of the four beasts, Chen Nianguan coughed dryly and said: "After more than two months of assessment, I found that Liu Yang, Liu Bao, Liu Hu, Liu Xiong, Liu Shi,Your professional skills have passed the test, and your work performance is outstanding. Now you intend to sign a ten-year employment contract with you. I don’t know if you are interested..."

    "Yes, yes, yes!"

    "Master Chen, I have already said that, why don't you just sign a ten-year contract with us, we are willing!"

    "Master Chen, come on, where is the contract, I will be the first to sign it with you!"

    ...

    The uneasiness and worry were swept away, Liu Yang and the four beasts laughed, they all rubbed their hands together, and looked at Chen Nianwan excitedly.

    Ten years!

    With such a high monthly salary, if you work steadily for ten years, how much money can you earn?

    I'm afraid that I don't have to worry about my life's expenses!

    You don't have to worry about not being able to find a job in the future!

    Liu Yang and the Four Beasts are happy, and Chen Nianguan is also happy. Liu Yang and the Four Beasts are very easy to use and hardworking. Even if the ice shop is closed, they can stay and watch the shop, and they can get Tangshui anytimeShop for help.

    After all, Master Chen is backed by the Jiang Mansion, no one in Prefecture City dares to make trouble in his own store now, but there may be times when gangsters will come to make trouble.

    Most of the sugar shop is full of girls. With them helping out in the backyard, she feels much more at ease when she shows up at the front when something goes wrong.

    As for Liu Yang, after more than two months of observation, Chen Nianwan also felt that he was overqualified for being only the steward of the cold ice shop, and was planning to transfer him to be the shopkeeper of the sugar water shop.

    Before Liu Yang took the contract to read it, Chen Nianguan told her that he planned to let him serve as the sugar shop. Liu Yang was surprised, and then his hands shaking while holding the contract were so excited.

    "Chen, Master Chen thinks highly of me, of course I do, and I will try my best to do my job well."

    "That's okay, I'll just wait and see, and wait for shopkeeper Liu to do a good job."

    After explaining to the clerk of the cold ice shop, Chen Nianwan, Xiaoyou and Siya went to the Jiang mansion to give the share to Jiang Yu, but they didn't see Jiang Yu, only Wang Guanshi.

    "Master Chen, the eldest son is studying in seclusion, and he has to prepare for the provincial examination in a few days! I accept this income on behalf of the eldest son!"

    Chen Nianguan expressed his understanding.

    Because, Zhang Erlang, who came to Prefecture City, was also making the final sprint with Liu Qing before going on stage.

    The frenzy of lifeless K books reminded Chen Nianguan of the nightmare he had before the college entrance examination, holding the test questions from morning to night, and studying until he felt sick.

    I heard that there are three township examinations. You enter the examination room on the first day, you can only come out on the third day, and you have to enter again on the fourth day. After this, the three rounds of reincarnation are considered to be the end of the examination.It's miserable!

    Chen Nianguan wanted to do something for Zhang Erlang, Liu Qing, and his third brother so that they could satisfy their hunger in the examination room. Then, Chen Nianguan sent someone to transport the second batch of coconuts brought back by Hu Haishang to Prefecture City.At the same time as this batch of coconuts arrived, there was also a batch of things that Liu Yun said looked like corn stalks.

    It is said that when Hu Haishang purchased coconuts further south, he bought a small batch of local products by the way. He said that he heard that Chen Nianguan opened a sugar shop, and this small batch was regarded as a belated gift without money.

    The corner of Chen Nianguan's mouth twitched.

    This thing that looks like a corn stalk, isn't it sugarcane?

    Come just in time!

    Chen Nianguan took out three sugarcanes from this batch, thought for a while, and took out another one. At first glance, the sugarcane was shiny, full of sugar, and straight, and put it aside.

    I almost forgot, Zeng Si is also a scholar, and heard that he will also take the provincial examination today, so he probably needs it.

    So, they definitely need it.

    Afterwards, Chen Nianguan left one for himself and his second aunt, one for Chen Nianjian and one for Master Zeng, and asked them to take it with them on the day of the exam..

    Chen Nianguan said mysteriously: "It's a talisman, and it's a good omen to bless scholars who must pass every exam!"

    Then Pidianpidian went to make dry food for Zhang Erlang and others to eat in the examination room.
