What?
Kansai never thought he would hear such an answer.
It seems that I just went back to sleep, why did things suddenly become like this?
"Then what's the situation now?"
"The boss seems to have sent for an official!"The soldiers have caught him."The man said, "It seems that there is no loss."
That's good.
Kansai breathed a sigh of relief.
He hurriedly walked towards Luo Chaoxi and saw Luo Chaoxi being surrounded by some aunts and asking questions. When Luo Chaoxi saw Kansai, he immediately called someone in as if he had seen a savior, and then closed the door. Keep those gossipers out.
"I like to gossip too much." Luo Chaoxi took a sip of water and disliked the growing hair.
Kansai glanced at Luo Chaoxi's new look, didn't ask much, but inquired curiously: "I heard that caught a thief?"
Luo Chaoxi talked about what happened last night, Kansai heard it interesting, and suddenly laughed loudly: "This is good. I heard a lot of people want to come to you here to eat and see how delicious the meat that can be patronized by thieves. You must be exhausted at night.
"Yes, it's barely a good thing, but Big Brother Kansai, do you know that Rongji Restaurant?"
"Yes." Luo Chaoxi asked, and Kansai got something.
They are traveling merchants. They can't walk on the street without a snack. When Luo Chaoxi mentioned this, he guessed that Luo Chaoxi might have something to do with that Rongji restaurant.
"You mean?"
"Just a little suspicious."
"...You say so, I have something to tell you. The boss is on good terms with the men of the Kangzhou Chamber of Commerce, and the men of the Kangzhou Chamber of Commerce are pouring out valuable things for a big shot."
"What does that have to do with me?"
"That big man likes to eat."
"The president of the Chamber of Commerce wants to ask you about the recipe. He knows I've talked to you, so he asked me to ask."
Want to buy it?
The price is not cheap.
Orleans marinade is the seasoning of later generations. The seasoning used in it is cheap in later generations, but it is extremely expensive now.
For example, the pepper in it can be bought in the supermarket in modern times. It can be used for a long time for 100 yuan per pound, but now, pepper can be used as gold, and a pound of pepper costs about 20 taels of silver. If it is the season of pepper production, it is cheaper, and it can be around 15 taels.
But now the lamb is about 100 wen per catty, the whole chicken is 60 wen per pound, and the wings are about 8 per pound, and one pound is almost 30 wen.
Looking at it this way, Luo Chaoxi's previous pricing seems to have made a lot of money, but in fact, after removing raw materials and labor costs, Luo Chaoxi can earn less than a quarter, which is not even sauce.
In these people's eyes, lamb and chicken wings are not worth the sauce.
Perhaps in the eyes of some wealthy people, Luo Chaoxi's use of such expensive sauces on lamb and chicken wings is a waste of life, and it should be well preserved and used as money.
But what's the point if you don't eat spices?
Luo Chaoxi is modern thinking, and he is very willing to spend money on food. This kind of thinking may be shocking to the ancients, but to Luo Chaoxi, it is just every day.
So Luo Chaoxi really wants to sell, depending on the other party's price.
Kansai's expression was a bit ugly, and he said, "What he meant is that everyone makes money together, and this is for the big man, to win glory for the city of Kangzhou."
It means that he doesn't want to give money.
Not to mention the party involved in Luo Chaoxi, even the unrelated person in Kansai wants to scold that the face is so big!
This is what people are now living in. Besides, those guys in Kangzhou City aren't very well-behaved. What they take away will be directly robbed of ownership, and even the original ones will not be allowed.
So arrogant and disgusting.
Luo Chaoxi smiled instead of getting angry.
"So Wang Erfei has something to do with them?"
It was almost certain.
"It's a beautiful thing to think about." Luo Chaoxi smiled brightly, "They think I'll agree?"
"I don't know," Kansai said that he hadn't paid attention to this, and that's all he could say.
Do they think that Luo Chaoxi is an orphan who is easy to bully, and that is easy to take care of? Even if they really do this, no one will give Luo Chaoxi a head?
Then they got it wrong.
In their eyes, Wang Erfei is an abandoned child who can be abandoned at any time, but in Luo Chaoxi's eyes, this is the key to turn the tables.
———
Wang Erfei's current situation is not very good.
After he was sent to prison last night, he has been thinking about Luo Chaoxi, but he is not a good guy and likes to be messed up, but he still has some scruples about Luo Chaoxi.
That person was not like an ordinary little boss at all, but rather like the son-in-law of those rich families, and he also took out the talisman.
Yellow talisman paper.
At that time, the talisman was absorbed by himself, but his body was no different, so he didn't take it to heart.
But when Wang Erfei fell asleep, he realized that he was wrong.
He is dreaming.
Wang Erfei was not a good child since he was a kid. He couldn't even remember the bad things he had done, but in his sleep, he recalled them again and again.
It's just that every time he does bad things in the dream, he will be arrested, and some people who have not been caught in reality will also be arrested, each time heavier.
He remembered that his old father had spent all his money trying to get him a wife, and he also remembered his wife committing suicide because of gambling, and those who had stolen money from him couldn't bear to come back to him after he died.
Those ghosts haunted themselves all the time, questioning themselves why they did this, and only when they went to prison can they get a moment of peace.
Too bad he was called up early in the morning.
Wang Erfei was a little dazed.
He looked at the dim scene in the prison and remembered what happened in his dream.
He hurriedly shouted: "Is there anyone?! Is there anyone? I want to confess!!! I want to confess!!!"
The yamen outside came in cursingly, knocking on the wooden door with the scabbard in his hand: "What's the matter! What's all the fuss? "
(T/N: "Yamen" is the office or residence of a public official in the Chinese Empire.)
Wang Erfei grabbed the yamen's clothes corner across the railing, looking a little crazy: "I'll tell you everything! I'll tell you everything!"
———
Kansai saw that Luo Chaoxi had a bottom line, so he didn't say much, so he changed the topic.
"Today, the brothers are going to pick up other goods. They won't be able to come over until the evening."
"Then they should be put on the second floor or in the warehouse in the backyard, but they are not cleaned up there, and they are all ashes."
"It's okay, whatever. Good." Kansai didn't care.
Kansai and Luo Chaoxi moved things together, and then they sat down after moving them one by one.
Luo Chaoxi brought two cups of Fat House Happy Water with ice cubes in front of Kansai and motioned him to taste it.
"What is this?" Kansai asked.
"Coke, a drink to be served at night." Luo Chaoxi also took a sip.
Drinking iced cola in summer is simply a great pleasure in life!
Kansai sniffed the smell, and could only smell a faint smell of traditional Chinese medicine, but it was also a little sweet, and the taste was very strange.
Out of trust in Luo Chaoxi, Kansai took a sip.
First, it was a faint and somewhat irritating taste, then a sweet taste and a taste that jumped on the tip of the tongue, like an explosion, the faint smell of Chinese medicine disappeared quickly, followed by a refreshing Cool scent.
t's a taste they've never tried before.
The first sip is a little weird, the second sip is a little addictive, and the third sip is captivated by this wonderful taste.
Frankly speaking, this taste is really strange, but can't help but want to drink it. After a few more sips, you can feel how good this taste is.
Especially the ice inside.
Ice is also a rare thing now. At least one-third of this glass is added. The taste of this particular drink is mixed with the icy coolness of the ice cubes.
"This thing will definitely sell very well." Kansai said, "Can this be sold?"
"It can be, but you have to know that ice cubes are not easy to store, and Coke that loses ice cubes is not easy to store. It's not as delicious as it is now."
Luo Chaoxi is used to adding ice to the fat house happy water and thinks this tastes the best and is the most exciting to drink, but the ancients were different, maybe they liked it without ice?
Luo Chaoxi gave Kansai another glass of normal-temperature Coke.
Coke at room temperature tastes equally good, but Kansai always feels that something is missing. Obviously, the taste is still the same, but it just feels like something is missing, and Coke at room temperature will be sweeter.
Oil and sugar in ancient times are the things that bring the most happiness. Luo Chaoxi's skewers take up oil, and Coke takes up sugar. These two add up to a perfect match and are invincible.
As long as you can overcome the unknown, you will be able to sell well.
Take your time, not in a hurry.
Kansai sipped Coke: "How much do you want to sell for a bottle of this?"
"Twenty cents a bottle."
"It's okay, how about adding ice?"
"Free ice for eating at the booth."
Ice at this time may be really expensive, but for Luo Chaoxi, it is as simple as freezing water into ice cubes. Of course, these are only the benefits that can only be obtained in the store, if only to buy ice?
That's impossible.
"Is it also a new special offer?"
"That's not true, this has always been the price." Luo Chaoxi said, he stood up, "I'll go and put your goods in the back, when you take it away at night, it's a bit of a hindrance to put it in front."
"Okay."
At this time, Kansai picked up the menu that Luo Chaoxi had put aside.
There are lamb skewers and pork skewers, chicken wings, and some ham sausages, as well as roasted gluten, vegetables, and bread slices, etc. There is not much beef. After all, these things are expensive and now they sell cows that have died of illness or old age. The taste is relatively high.
In addition to the Orleans-flavored barbecue, Luo Chaoxi also used the recipe that everyone is most used to. It is also possible to buy finished barbecue ingredients in the shopping mall. A whole big box is placed in the kitchen, and those fresh ingredients are chilled with ice cubes. Don't worry about spoiling quickly in summer.
Musa also came.
The relationship between Musa and Luo Chaoxi was good. When Luo Chaoxi came out from the back, Musa had already rolled up his sleeves, took out the cutting board and the machete around his waist, and was eager to try the big pots of meat that Luo Chaoxi brought out.
"It's just as big as yesterday." Luo Chaoxi said to Musa, "For vegetables, there are four pieces in a bunch, two bamboo sticks for bread slices, and two bamboo sticks for steamed bread slices."
Musa's comprehension is very good. Perhaps because of his martial arts skills. He cuts meat with ease and can divide the meat into small portions equally, all of which are beautifully shaped.
Kansai watched Luo Chaoxi make preparations for the evening and found pork in these pots of meat.
"Pork... Is anyone willing to eat it?"
"The pork has been processed so that it won't have a pungent smell." Luo Chaoxi said, "But it's cheap, and there shouldn't be very few people who eat it."
Wealthy people eat lamb or beef. At this time, the pork was eaten by people in ordinary families, and the pigs that had passed through were more delicious, which was exchanged by Luo Chaoxi from the system.
Almost all of these meats are exchanged from the system, and the price is not expensive. The more expensive things in this place are those with more technological content, especially the technological blueprints. Not to mention whether they have been unlocked or not, this price is too expensive to watch.
But if it is in the modern world, this kind of thing is estimated to be cheap, and many things are printed in textbooks.
Musa moved quickly, cut three large pots of meat, and then saw Luo Chaoxi move several small pots with red and brown seasonings, as well as several other finely ground powders that were indistinguishable.
"This is... the spice of the Western Regions?"
Musa also squeezed a little and tasted it, and his face was wrinkled together by the irritating taste.
"What kind of taste is this."
"Is this salt? It's so fine! It doesn't have a strange smell, what is this particle?" Kansai also started with the white pot of salt and was also interested in the chicken essence on the side.
"After I bought it, I went through rough processing, otherwise I wouldn't use it."
Kansai thinks that Luo Chaoxi is a person who likes to surprise others. These things can be looted if you put them outside. He took it out in front of them without hesitation.
It seems that he is not afraid of revealing his wealth and being stared at.
That is to say, he is a righteous gentleman, otherwise, he will really be moved when he sees these things. If he gets a little crooked, Luo Chaoxi, a little guy with no strength, can't bear it.
———
The preparations for the opening of the door are carried out step by step on Luo Chaoxi's side, and the Rongji Restaurant is also very peaceful.
The owner of Rongji Restaurant hummed a little tune and came downstairs to see what the little Er in his store was doing.
Their restaurant has long working hours, wakes up earlier than chickens, sleeps later than dogs, and doesn't pay much, and Boss Rong as the boss is no good.
Whenever he comes to the store, he gets angry when he sees his employees not working, and then finds all sorts of reasons to deduct their wages. If the employee must resign, then the employee who resigns will definitely be deducted by boss Rong. Lose that month's wages.
This time too.
As soon as Boss Rong went downstairs, he saw that the newly recruited worker did not clean the table some time ago, but stood at the door not knowing what to do. Boss Rong, who was in a good mood, suddenly became angry, strode forward, and immediately his feet kicked the extra-thin little boy to the ground.
"Banan, I paid you to do the work, not for you to see the scenery here!"
The child was very thin, wearing linen clothes that were cleanly washed but patched, with exposed ankles and wrists. There are also deep and shallow scars that have not healed, and even there are several traces of blue and purple on the neck and cheeks.
These are all scars left over for many years. His family has no money and no treatment. After a long time, it will not disappear completely. It's a bit scary to be exposed outside, and he can't even find a job.
He will stay here to work, but because the owner of this store is the only one who doesn't dislike the scary wounds on his body, even if he pays himself half of the salary of the others.
Even if he will always be treated unfairly.
"I'm sorry boss, I'll go to work right now."
It was obvious that he just sent the guests to the door, but in the eyes of the boss, he became lazy.
Banan also did not make an excuse, because the excuse is useless, it will only lead to more disgust and salary deduction.
He got up silently and continued to work, but the kick from Boss Rong just now caused a faint pain in his leg bones. He limped while walking, and his waist was also hurting. He didn't dare to look up to see the boss's expression. He only felt that if he stopped looking for some work, the boss would find a reason to fire him. At that time, the grandfather and sister in the family would be hungry again. He didn't dare to say anything at all.
It is more important to be alive, Banan wiped the table with a rag, trying hard not to let tears flow from his eyes.
If you are seen crying by the boss, you will also be deducted from the money.
Banan was cleaning, but a man came in at the door. Banan thought he was familiar, but he didn't care about banan, so he went directly to the second floor to find Boss Rong.
He didn't want to go upstairs, but another young man who came down from the second floor put the rag into his hand: "Please, please wipe it for me, my stomach hurts so much, I'll give you two wen in a while."
Two pennies?
Banan nodded. He endured the pain and went to the second floor. He knelt on the ground and wiped the wooden floor. He wanted to quickly wipe away from the boss's room and leave, but he heard conversations inside.
He subconsciously moved lightly, but the sound of the room still reached his ears.
"Wang Erfei has been arrested."
"He was arrested, and he was taken out in a few days. Did he say anything about the drug?"
"He didn't say anything when he was arrested last night."
"Then as for Luo Chaoxi, it was put back, has the medicine been given?"
"It's not clear."
Banan opened his eyes wide, realizing that he had heard something incredible, but he resisted being silent, cautiously. Go over the past and start rubbing from a farther place.
Sure enough, when Banan walked to the other side of the road, the man came out of the room.
