Chapter 587: Commercial Street in the County
Chapter 587: Commercial Street in the County
Su Wanwan saw a shop over there with a sign hung out: [Lao Shen’s Braised Pork and Fried Chicken Shop].
It’s a really simple sign, and you can tell at first glance that it sells meat.
There are only five shops between the two shops.
The street was not very long. She looked around and saw more than twenty shops, but half of them were still under construction.
Tongxu County has developed the tofu skin industry, and there are many merchants coming and going. Behind these shops are rows of inns. It is already prosperous now, let alone in the future.
I have to say that County Magistrate Xu is quite talented in governance.
I've been to Xinping County with Shen Yuan once before, and the night market there was pretty good. However, apart from the coal mines, Xinping County doesn't have any livelihood industries. I'm afraid that the night market economy in Tongxu County will get better and better in the future.
My aunt and elder brother have seized the opportunity first, so this business will definitely do well in the future.
"Yes, that's it. What we prepare here is called Baolin Hot and Sour Noodles."
Although Shen Xinru didn't hang up a sign, she had already thought of a name.
Wang Baolin, who was packing up his things, felt a little embarrassed. He never thought that one day he would open his own shop and name it after himself.
"For a snack business, the simpler the name, the better. This name is good, not bad."
Su Wanwan also went in and took a look around. The shop was really small, and since it was a snack bar, there were no tables or chairs.
After putting things outside, the space inside only looks like a few square meters, which is enough.
Shen Yuan also helped to clean up, while Shen Zhao took the two children around to look around.
"Mom, there are so many shops here, selling everything. When do they open?"
Xiao Yue'er walked over from the other side. She knew a lot of words now, so she could tell the names of the shops and what they sold, but none of them were open yet.
"This is a night market, most of the shops are open in the afternoon."
Su Wanwan chuckled and took a look around. There really were all kinds of things for sale.
And it seems that all the shops have been rented out.
It seems that there are still many people with courage.
Generally, wealthy businessmen look down upon such small shops. Most of those who can open shops here are small families or courageous villagers.
I heard from my eldest brother and his wife that there was also a family from their Daliushu Village who rented a shop and sold fried tofu.
"Oh, this is our shop. Great, great! My son is promising. We can be considered businessmen in the future."
As I was walking, I saw two people walking towards me. The man was limping and was thin.
There was also an old lady who was looking at the shop in front of her and praising her son like a flower.
"I just wonder if our stir-fried bean sprouts are selling well?"
The man looked happy but also a little worried.
Although he rented a shop, he didn't know what to sell.
He and his mother can't cook anything except stir-frying bean sprouts, but stir-fried bean sprouts are a home-cooked dish, who doesn't know how to stir-fry them?
Is there really anyone who would eat the bean sprouts he stir-fried?
However, apart from fried bean sprouts, he couldn't think of anything to sell.
"Oh, why is it not selling well? Didn't we come here to observe a few days ago? There are many foreigners coming here, and they all live in the inn behind. They can't just fry bean sprouts by themselves. I see that those shops are doing very well, so our fried bean sprouts must be good too."
The old lady was very confident.
Although stir-fried bean sprouts are not rare, there are so many people, and there will always be someone who will buy them. She likes to eat stir-fried bean sprouts, but her teeth are not very good and she can't chew the beans.
Su Wanwan listened to the conversation between mother and son and felt unlucky.
This is truly an indestructible cockroach.
Shen Yuan also looked over, narrowed his eyes, and pulled his wife and children back.
Every time he looked at those two people, he felt that it was disrespectful to his eyes.
"Mom, isn't that the coward's father and grandmother? They actually rented a shop and are selling fried bean sprouts? Who would eat fried bean sprouts?"
Shen Yunyi also saw the two people clearly, and went up to his parents and asked.
What were those two people thinking? They wanted to sell fried bean sprouts. What’s so delicious about fried bean sprouts?
"Never mind them. Come on, I'll take you to visit Madam Xu."
Shen Yuan didn't care at all.
But last time, Zhao Yuanyuan tricked his wife into the Liu family, and he deliberately revealed Zhao Yuanyuan's news to He Erzhu. Later, when he heard that He Erzhu was pestering Zhao Yuanyuan again, he stopped caring about it.
He Erzhu doesn't look like someone who can afford to rent a shop. He might have been swindled from Zhao Yuanyuan.
As long as it doesn't happen to them, they don't care whether these people live or die.
Su Wanwan had the same idea as Shen Yuan. She didn't even look at them and followed them.
But after they turned around, the mother and son looked back and saw the neat backs of the family of five. He Chunlan was surprised and said:
"It seems to be Shen Yuan and the others."
He Erzhu also looked over and saw their backs. He smacked his lips twice and spat.
"He is so lucky to have married a princess. To put it bluntly, he also relied on women."
He was a little indignant.
When He Chunlan heard this, she immediately pulled him:
"Stop talking, son. We can't afford to offend them now. They are the princess's biological daughter. People should not fight against officials. We should avoid provoking them."
Although He Chunlan is domineering, she is very afraid of officials.
In the past, Shen Yuan and his people were just businessmen. Even if they opened a workshop and became rich, she didn't think it was a big deal. But now it's different. The princess and the princess' husband are such high-ranking officials, they are higher than the county magistrate.
"Mom, I know."
He Erzhu had the desire but not the courage. He was just talking big but he didn't dare to provoke them.
On Shen Yuan's side, Yun Yi was attracted by the shops on the street again.
"Dad, Mom, let's come back and have a look this afternoon. There are some things I really want to eat."
Now that he was out, Yun Yi also wanted to see the night market.
Now that he has read more, he naturally understands that this night market is also a way to improve people's livelihood and is a major project that benefits the people.
He admired Magistrate Xu very much.
"Okay, let's come over here this afternoon and then go back."
Su Wanwan wanted to say, you haven’t seen the modern night market yet, it’s much more lively than this, and there are more delicious food.
The snacks here are pretty ordinary, but the braised pork, fried chicken, and fried jelly and hot and sour noodles are unique.
If she wanted to, she could create many unique modern snacks.
Forget it, she decided not to do it. She is not short of money, and working at the night market is too hard.
Su Wanwan didn't say this because she was afraid that Yun Yi and Shen Zhao would feel jealous.
After all, she could take Yue'er and Shen Yuan to the modern world to see the world. Since these two uncle and nephew couldn't go, she wouldn't try to steal their hearts.
When they arrived at the county government office, Shen Yuan took Shen Zhao directly to find Xu Huaiyuan.
Shen Zhao was old, and was planning on taking the imperial examination, so he could learn about some current affairs.
Su Wanwan took the children to find Old Madam Xu.
I even met Lin Wenyue here whom I hadn’t seen for a long time.
