If you want to talk about the opening of the North and South Grocery shop, whose life has changed, then first of all, they must be the residents around Fenglefang.

Early this morning, the morning drums were not ringing, the gates were not open, and the groceries in the north and south had not opened, so many people lined up in front of the shop.

From the crack in the door, you can vaguely see that the lights have been lit in the shop. It is probably the guys who are putting goods on the table.

"Ge Da, why is it late today than before?" Another young man in his fifties and sixties came over there. A few of them lined up and greeted him with a smile.

The area of ​​Fenglefang is small, and it is about half of the large shops in Guangdefang, with limited residents. What is the situation of each household? They also have some understanding of each other.

Like Ge Da, it is the southwest of Fenglefang. A servant from a young official surnamed Liang. In addition to Ge Da, there is only one old woman, one servant and one maid in their family. The old woman cooks, the servant is following their husband, and the maid is helping the wife in the family. Ge Da is their leader, but he also has to guard the door.

I heard that the Liang family was also quite decent in Jiangnan. However, the neighbors in the market also saw that their family's life has been getting worse in the past two years. If something had happened at home, Liang Dalang would have lost his favor at home.

However, their husband and wife are pretty good, and their neighbors are very harmonious. Although everyone is sad and despised behind their backs, they always have to keep a good face in front of others.

"Oh, I'm late today." Ge Da said as he walked over and lined up at the end of the line.

"You are old, why don't you let that guy at home come out to buy it?" Someone said he was.

"I'm old and I'm sleeping too much. The boy of their age is just sleeping." Ge Da said with a smile.

In fact, the boy was really sleepy, but if he really gave him the task of buying things from north and south every morning, the boy would not have to jump up happily.

A few days ago, Ge Da was a little uncomfortable, so he asked him to come. As a result, the boy wanted to buy it when he entered the shop. When he went back, he held a lot of things in his arms. The husband and wife were all generous. In other words, he said that Ge Da was really heartbroken. Now what is going on at home is going on? How can he withstand such money? The boy thought it was when he was in Jiangnan before.

The morning of the first lunar month is also quite cold. A group of people lined up with their necks hunched and talked to each other. Time flies very quickly. Soon, the shop in front opened the door.

From that entrance, it was still a large and shiny hall filled with all kinds of food. Like Ge Da, who was hungry when he was young, he used to never dream of having such a place in the world. Recently, the time to come to this shop to buy food every morning is the most enjoyable time of the day.

He is old now, and his body is getting worse day by day. I don’t know how many years he can live, but he feels that his life is not regretful.

The husband trusted him and asked him to follow Lang Jun's wife to Chang'an City. Living in Fenglefang was also good, especially recently, he opened this north-south grocery store, which added a lot of color to their lives.

Ge Da carried a basket at the entrance. After entering the shop, he went to the dessert area. There was a special offer area there. There were some special offer bags every morning. An oil paper bag as big as an adult two or three slaps. Most of the insides were not very good-looking, or the scraps cut out when making bread cakes were very affordable. It only costs two cents a pack. These neighbors like to buy the one they like the most.

Every afternoon, there will be a batch of half-price desserts in the special offer area. The main purpose is to ensure the freshness of the food in their shop. They put a little more bread and cakes for a day, and they saw that there was nothing wrong with it, so they sold them at half-price. Many neighbors also like to buy that, but Ge Da doesn't buy it very much.

This special offer package is good in the morning, but it is a purchase restriction. Each person only buys one bag. Even so, it is sold out early every day, and it is too late to buy it.

Ge Da took a special offer package, then went to the counter to take a look, and picked a small cake worth fifteen cents. His little wife's birthday came. Since the beginning of the past two days, she has been telling him that he should remember to buy her a cream cake today and eat it on her birthday. This matter seems to be the first thing the saint in the palace has started.

After buying these two things, Ge Deodorant stopped staying in the dessert area for too long. First, he turned to the place selling tofu next to him, bought a tofu for two cents, and then bought some brine.

Finally, I went to the shelves in the corner and took a can of salad sauce and a can of bean paste. The salad sauce is used to mix vegetables and vegetables, so the bean paste is naturally used to cook. The meat, vegetables, tofu dishes made with this bean paste are very popular. The young man and wife at home love to eat it.

"The special package and cake cost 17 cents, salad sauce cost 10 cents, bean paste cost 8 cents, tofu cost 2 cents, brine cost 6 cents, total forty-three cents, do you want a paper bag?" The young man in charge of collecting money at the front counter helped him take out the things from the basket and quoted the price again.

"No, no." Ge Da took out a large, neatly folded oil paper bag from his arms, opened it and shook it. The young man at the counter quickly took it over and helped him put the things into the bag.

Ge Da took out a string of money from his arms. He counted the money in advance, and a string of money was fifty cents. At this time, he just had to count seven cents from it.

He felt very distressed when he spent 43 cents at once. His husband didn't have much salary every month. In the past two years, his hometown in Jiangnan has not sent them money to Beijing, so the family's life became more and more difficult. Fortunately, when his family was willing to pay money in the early years, the husband's wife saved money and borrowed some money from others to build this house in Fenglefang. Although he is not rich now, he still lives a life.

Today is the birthday of the young lady at home. I spent a little more, and I was almost out of salad sauce in the kitchen, so I didn’t need to spend so much on weekdays.

Ge Da held an oil paper bag in his arms and walked towards his own house. He was muttering in his heart, thinking about whether he would spend a few cents less tomorrow and the next day, and he couldn't save anything else, so he had to buy less braised dishes.

"Ge Da, do you remember to buy me a cake today?" As soon as you entered the yard, you heard the five or six-year-old lady in your house ask crisply.

"I bought it, I bought it." Ge Da replied with a smile.

"Where? Check with me?" the little girl said impatiently.

"It's in this bag, and it's on the top, I'm afraid it's crushed." Ge Da said, pushing away the oil paper bag in his arms and taking out the cream cake, but he didn't give it to the little lady directly, but called the maid who usually serves in front of his wife and said, "You can take this to your wife's house first."

"Can you buy salad sauce?" At this time, the woman who cooked also came out of the kitchen.

"Born." Ge Da handed her the oil paper bag in his arms directly to her. The woman looked at it, turned around and went back to the kitchen to work hard.

Soon, the husband and wife at home got up, and the cooking woman had already prepared breakfast for them. At this time, she and the maid brought the food to the outside of the main hall.

First, I brought a plate of vegetable salad and a stack of pickles, and then opened the special offer that Ge Dafang had just bought, put it in with a plate of rattan, and then brought it in a few boiled eggs, and each person had a bowl of corn porridge. However, the braised dish did not move, and that was the dish tonight.

The master was having dinner in the main hall and did not want the servants at home to serve them, so he let them all go to eat.

The servants' dining place is under the kitchen. There is also a earthen kang here, a kang table is placed, corn porridge with mixed noodles, and a stack of pickles. Each person can have an egg, which is a good food.

"Ge Da, let me bring these cakes with you. "Aye asked me to bring them." As she was eating here, the young man at home brought them a few pieces of bread cakes on a plate.

"It's not that I can't finish it, so I brought it here to do something." Ge Da sighed.

The young man smiled, said nothing, put down his things and left.

To be honest, they all like to eat this bag of bread and cake that cost two cents, and Ye Niang loves it too. If you want to say too much, it is really not much at all. However, it is nothing to eat less than one or two pieces occasionally. Ge Da was in a bad health two days ago, and the young man was somewhat worried.

After the family had breakfast, it was already bright and the door drums had already been opened. The husband took the servant out and went out. The young man went back to his house to study. The wife took two young ladies in the house to do embroidery work and talked. The maid was also serving them, helping them to twist the wires, coaxing the youngest lady in the family.

Their wife is good at embroidery. Two years ago, she found a job in embroidery in the city's clothing store, and she could earn some money every month to supplement her family income.

"Ge Da, will you go to Luo Sanlang's grocery store to buy cake tomorrow morning?" The young lady at home was unmanned to stay in the house and learn embroidery work with her grandmother. After a while, she ran to the yard and talked to Ge Da who was pounding rice.

"Go, why don't you go?" Ge Da laughed. As soon as he finished eating, he thought about the next meal.

"Can you take me there tomorrow?" the young lady asked him.

"You have to ask your husband and wife about this." Ge Da felt that this was basically unsuccessful.

"Aye said he would take me there on the day he rested." The little girl said aggrievedly: "But I want to go every day."

In fact, it is not just the little lady of the Liang family who wants to go to Luo Sanlang's grocery store every day, but many people in Chang'an City are like this.

It is precisely because of the charm that makes people want to go every day that the business of groceries in the north and south is booming. One day is better. I make many desserts every day, and I don’t have to worry about losing money if I can’t sell them all.

As the saying goes, a few companies are happy and sad. If the business of groceries in the north and south is good, the business of some people will naturally be affected, such as the famous Mifangzhai.

Anrenfang where Mifangzhai is located is opposite Fenglefang, facing each other, and there is a Zhuque Street that is 150 meters wide.

When the groceries in the north and south were opened here, some of the Mifangzhai's men asked them whether they wanted to go to Luo Sanlang's shop to take a look.

"What do you think about them, just do your own business." The old man said so at the time. So no one mentioned this to him again, so as not to catch up with their boss and fight back to them in person.

After twenty days like this, the business of groceries in the north and south was getting better and better. Even if Na Luo Sanlang got a group of children with bad reputations in his shop, there were still a lot of people willing to go to his house to buy things.

On this day, the old man from Mifangzhai finally couldn't hold it anymore and asked someone to go to the north and south to buy some of the most famous foods.

Finally, there were several bread cakes placed on the table of Mifangzhai.

The old man first tasted the legendary cream cake, but didn't say anything, and ate another egg tart, but still didn't say anything. Then he picked up a salted egg cheese bread, first looked, then took a bite, and then took another bite, while eating, while still muttering there:
Chapter completed!
