One day in mid-October, the dried jujube shop opened its doors to welcome customers in a low-key manner and gave it an easy-to-understand name, called red jujube food shop.

Most people in the capital have eaten Qin's fresh dates, but this is the first time they have heard of dried dates. Only those who have bought red date cakes from Princess Jiaming's pastry shop know what dried dates are.

He said that a shop specializing in selling dried dates had opened on the street, so he rushed over with his money.

"Hey, your shop also sells sweet soup and snacks!" The customer couldn't help but curiously asked when he saw several large clay pots and several large pots standing at the door, containing red date-based sweet soup and red date-based snacks respectively.

Voice.

"We only sell red dates in our shop, but red dates are fresh and we are afraid that our customers won't be used to the taste, so we make finished products for customers to taste for free. You can try them first before buying to avoid wasting money," the young shopkeeper explained with a smile.

, he personally poured out several bowls of hot sweet soup and placed them on the table in front of him.

Upon hearing that these sweet soups and snacks can be tasted for free, the passers-by who were watching immediately gathered around and confirmed again and again: "Shopkeeper, these are really free? Are you going to bully us if we really try them?"

This kind of thing has happened before. At that time, some people were dissatisfied and went to the government. It was just that the store tried to kill the customers who tried the food and wanted to eat for free. They never said that they would taste it for free. In the end, the customers who tried the food lost the lawsuit. After all, they ate the food for free.

It's a fact that what I got from the store is true.

"Everyone can rest assured that the Red Date Restaurant dares to open on the most prosperous street in our capital city because it is determined to keep it open for a long time and will never do anything to rip off customers or hurt customers."

The shopkeeper said patiently. When he saw a five or six-year-old child in shabby clothes not far away looking at him and swallowing his saliva, he immediately waved to him to come over.

The child looked left and right to make sure that the shopkeeper was calling him, and walked over timidly: "What do you want me to do?"

The shopkeeper pushed a bowl of red dates and white fungus soup in front of him, picked up a plate and put a piece of date cake on it and handed it to him: "Eat it, no money is required."

The five or six-year-old child only thought about delicious food and did not have the obsessive thoughts of adults. When he heard that sweet soup and snacks were free, he immediately grabbed the jujube cake and ate it voraciously. The unique taste of the jujube cake was instantly felt.

Diffuses between lips and tongue.

The little guy's eyes were wide open and he looked at the shopkeeper in surprise: "Okay, delicious, delicious~"

The shopkeeper was afraid that he would choke, so he pushed the red dates and white fungus soup again: "Try this, it's delicious too."

The little guy nodded repeatedly, put down the half-eaten jujube cake, picked up the soup bowl and took a careful sip, his eyes lit up again: "Uncle, this is delicious too~"

The shopkeeper smiled and reminded him to drink slowly and not to burn himself.

Looking at the child's clothes, he must have no money. Seeing that his food was so sweet and his breath was filled with an unfamiliar sweetness, the guests also lowered their guard and urged: "Shopkeeper, give me a bowl."

, I will buy it if it tastes delicious.”

The smile on the shopkeeper's face grew wider, and he called the only waiter in the shop to work with him to entertain the swarms of customers who came to taste the sweet soup and snacks.

Most men don't like sweet soups and desserts, but as long as they care about their wives, sisters, and children, they won't be stingy about spending a few dollars to buy some dried dates to make them happy.

In particular, dried dates are a novelty, and you can show them off to your neighbors when you take them home. What’s more, the sweet soups and desserts made from dried dates are not bad in taste, and it is said that dried dates also have the effect of replenishing qi and blood.

The guests who had tasted it all generously spent their money and bought more or less.

"Shopkeeper, give me half a catty. If the whole family likes it, I'll buy it next time!"

"Me too, me too, give me two pounds. This thing is good as a snack. My kid likes to eat these sweet things."

"Shopkeeper, do you want to sell the sweet soup and snacks? I'll just buy them back."

"..."

The shopkeeper and waiters patiently entertained them, and they would satisfy any requests that were not excessive, such as sweet soup and snacks, etc. They would pay a few pennies for them to take one home.

When people walking on the street see the lively scene in the shop, most of them will walk in curiously to have a look and ask questions, then try the free sweet soup and snacks, and finally pay for two taels of dried dates.

Domestic coaxing.

After going back and forth, there were no customers in the shop all morning. There were very few of the 100 kilograms of dried dates left to be sold. Even the oil paper for packaging was gone. Several large cans of sweet soup and chicken pot snacks were cooked.

There is nothing left.

Of course, there are also those who just try but don’t buy and are greedy for cheap. Fortunately, there are not many people and the losses are not big.

In the afternoon, the shopkeeper and the waiter placed another 100 kilograms of dried dates, and sold more than 30 kilograms one after another. In short, the sales situation on the first day of opening was much better than they expected.

When Qin Xiaoxiao brought the twins to the shop, there were no customers at the door. Only the shopkeeper and the clerk were sorting the shelves.

She thought that the sales of dried dates today were not very good, and just as she was about to encourage the two of them, the shopkeeper who saw her coming quickly came over and said, "Madam, we sold 132 kilograms of dried dates today. I will wait for the sales of dried dates in the future."

As the reputation spreads, the business in the shop will definitely be good."

One hundred and thirty-two pounds?

Qin Xiaoxiao was greatly surprised. You must know that the price of dried dates is not cheap. According to this year’s price of fresh dates at twelve cents per catty, the price of dried dates is forty-two cents per catty, which is an extra six cents.

It is the cost of making dried dates from fresh dates.

Taking the account book handed over by the shopkeeper and seeing two baskets full of copper coins placed behind the counter, she finally believed that the shop had a good start. She smiled and said to the shopkeeper and the waiters: "Thank you for your hard work today. If there are still more customers in the next few days,

If that’s enough, just hire another guy.”

The shopkeeper said quickly: "It's not hard, madam, you are serious."

Qin Xiaoxiao nodded and walked around the shop. Seeing that every corner was in good order, she praised the two of them again, rewarded them with two taels of silver each, and encouraged them to work hard.

The twins also looked around decently, and found a few dried dates scattered on the shelves. They looked at their mother silently, and seeing that she didn't notice, they stretched out their chubby hands and quickly grabbed the dried dates into their pockets.

, and winked at his younger brother who looked disapproving.

Nao Nao whispered: "Aren't you afraid of nosebleeds?"

Momo touched his nose and said secretly: "We should eat one pill a day and we won't have nosebleeds. Anyway, you are not allowed to complain to mother!"

Nao Nao looked at his bulging pocket and reminded, "Mom will find out."

Momo put his chubby hands into his pockets and said proudly: "It's so cold, my hands are frozen~"

Nao Nao felt relieved and decisively promised: "I won't tell mother."

Silently praising: "Brother, you are so good, my brother likes you so much~"

Nao Nao's little face curled up, not wanting to talk to the stupid brother.

Silently carrying two bags of dried dates, he didn't feel guilty at all. After getting on the carriage, he didn't show any clues. Qin Xiaoxiao didn't notice the "good deeds" he had done.

After returning to the house, she found Jingheng and excitedly shared with him the good news that the jujube restaurant had a good start: "If the business can continue to be so good in the next month, there will be no need to worry about the jujubes in the plantation in the future.

, and there is no need to take risks by crossing the ocean.”

Jing Heng was also happy for her: "Since so many people like it, there is no need to worry about sales. Even if people in the capital cannot consume it, they can still sell it elsewhere. Dried dates are easier to store than fresh dates, so this can be done."

Indeed, the Qin family had thought about planting jujube seedlings before, but the fresh jujubes that could be consumed in the Jingli area were limited and it was difficult to transport them to other places for sale, so the plan was shelved.

At present, fresh dates and dried dates each have their own markets, and there is no conflict in sales, but they can be planted freely.

Qin Xiaoxiao was worried that the old jujube trees would not be able to withstand excessive pruning and would not expand planting indiscriminately. She calculated to herself: "The high-yield period for fruit bearing in the jujube orchard will be about two years later. If nothing else goes wrong, the output of dried jujubes should be

It can reach 120,000 kilograms. When the jujube trees on the two hills behind start to bear fruit one after another, this output can be doubled... It seems that I have to open the shop somewhere else in advance."

When Jing Heng heard this, he said helplessly: "You are already tired every day, wouldn't it be even more tiring to open so many shops? Why not just sell the dried dates in bulk to those shops that sell dry goods, and let them sell the dried dates for you?

?”

Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly realized, slapped her forehead and said, "How could I be so stupid, I didn't think of this method!" After saying that, she did not forget to praise the man: "You are still smart, and you saved me from being wronged."

Jingheng's eyes became dark, and his thumb touched her soft lips with some hint: "How are you going to thank me?"

Qin Xiaoxiao's scalp went numb, and he learned to flatter silently: "We are a couple who have worshiped heaven and earth and even had two children. There is no need to be so outspoken!"

Jing Heng didn't seem to hear, and his big hand slid down her chest and landed on her belly: "It has been so long that I haven't been able to conceive a sister for two children. It must be because you and I didn't work hard enough. How about...

"

Qin Xiaoxiao's emotions trembled, and before he could finish, he interrupted: "No, we have worked very hard, and we haven't gotten pregnant yet because we haven't had the chance yet. I think we should follow the rule of five days off and three days off before giving birth."

This rule was set by her, who knew she would break it with her own hands later. Now she doesn't hate beauty for misleading people, she just wants to get this rule back, otherwise this "little separation is better than a newlywed" will never be the same.

head.

She is already in her twenties, and I really don't know how much energy he has every day. It's pity that her old waist is almost broken.

Jing Heng pondered for a moment, and under her nervous and expectant eyes, reluctantly nodded: "But, but..."

Qin Xiaoxiao's heart suddenly lifted up as he was about to let go, and he subconsciously asked: "But what?"

Jing Heng chuckled, bowed his head and whispered in her ear.
