Chapter 489 [Visiting the City God]
Cargo is in high demand, at least for now.
It seems that this kind of sales method is novel and convenient for accounting. After Fang Chang rejected a few people who tried to bargain, about one-fifth of the people around chose something to buy. Anyway, this small stall The things on the website are not expensive, but also quite practical.
Especially bamboo baskets and bamboo plaques. Bamboo baskets can be bought to put some fine things in. Bamboo plaques are excellent for putting dry food on the dining table. Incense sticks are also very popular. Due to the small quantity, they are almost sold out. Instead, Fang Chang made whistles and incense wood beads, and there are many left.
But there was a businessman next to him who didn't know what to do. After he walked over, he asked the price a little, and wrapped the remaining fragrant wood beads in one go. Mountain products such as dried fungus and nuts in bamboo tubes are not very popular, and no one came to sweep the goods, but most of them were sold before dark.
Time passed quickly, and the sun had already set to the west.
Because this place is so popular, Fang Chang couldn't even get away to get some food at noon. He had to take out some tiger pancakes from the package and eat them. In an environment where there is a lot of eating, not eating or drinking will appear too out of gregarious.
Fang Chang put the remaining half of the whistle into the bag, then stuffed the remaining bamboo tubes and empty bamboo boxes, together with the old folded sheets, into the backpack, and then went away with a full load of copper coins from the sale. return.
It’s not evening yet, but today’s business is good, and Fang Chang’s experience is also very good.
He is going to find a delicious shop to make up for the lack of lunch at noon.
He has been to Ninghe Mansion many times, and he has also visited here many times, so he is quite familiar with it. However, after such a long time, several new shops in the city have closed, and some new shops have opened, but those A time-honored brand, on the contrary, seems to be unafraid of the erosion of time, and there are always many customers coming to the door.
Fang Chang looked around, chose a lo-mei shop, and went in.
The counter inside was wiped reasonably clean, but still soaked in grease. In the several large porcelain pots on the low counter, there is not much food left for sale, and a little bit of it is exposed, and the rest is covered with a white cloth. A few bamboo clips were placed on it, and they were already soaked in oil and shiny.
In these days, there is no refrigerated food equipment that ordinary people can use, so the food made by the store must be sold quickly, otherwise, if it is put on the next day, even if it does not deteriorate, it will affect the flavor. Just this alone has killed many new stores with poor turnover rates.
Fang Chang just looked at it, and the guy next to him said enthusiastically:
"What would you like to order? This store has a variety of good lo mei. The neighbors in the neighborhood like it, and there are many repeat customers. Today, there are only these left in front of me, and they will be sold out in a while."
The cost of labor in Ninghe Mansion is very low, so a lo-mei restaurant of this size can afford to hire a young man to look after the store. The addition of such a manpower can greatly liberate the owner and others, so they can concentrate on cooking On the top of the goods to ensure the quality and reputation of the products in the store are stable.
Looking at the lo-mei in the porcelain pot one by one, Fang Chang felt that the appearance was not bad, so he asked:
"How do you sell these?"
The little guy is very proficient in this. He smiled and articulately quoted the price to Fang Chang:
"Roasted chicken fifteen yuan a catty, pork head meat seven yuan, mouth strips eight yuan, ears six yuan, sausage four yuan a catty, stewed eggs three two yuan, stewed dried bean curd two yuan a catty, fried peanuts Four cents a catty."
Fang Chang nodded and said:
"It sounds very good. Bring me a roast chicken first, a whole pig's cheek and ears, and a piece of sausage. After weighing, they are all finely chopped. I won't bargain with you, just give it to me. Just some dried tofu and bean curd. Oh, and a plate of peanuts, all wrapped in paper."
Seeing the business coming, the boy was very happy: "Okay, wait a moment, sir."
So he quickly took the meat and weighed it, and said in his mouth: "Guest officer, you are right to come to us. The braised meat here is safe. You will eat it once and want to eat it again. If you want to eat it next time, you must definitely eat it." Remember the right place."
The young man is very proficient in business. He quickly cut all kinds of lo mei into neat slices on the cutting board, then took the paper, put the cut lo mei into it with a knife, wrapped it quickly and wrapped it with paper string Tie it up, just like wrapping sesame candy in paper elsewhere.
"Guest officer, here you are, please take it well and don't throw it away, welcome again."
"good."
Fang Chang took it, nodded, and left the shop.
Thinking of the boy's recommendation just now, he went into a small shop diagonally opposite, looked at the various staple foods inside, and bought a few pancakes.
The flatbread had obviously just been baked, and it was still steaming with temperature. The store also wrapped it in paper and handed it to Fang Chang.
Carrying food, Fang Chang didn't find a place to eat them, and he didn't go back to Xianqi Cliff.
He walked along the streets and alleys in one direction with ease.
There is the Town God's Temple of Ninghe Mansion, and Fang Chang has been here a few times. Back then, he had some friendship with the City God of Ninghe Mansion. These days, he is setting up a stall in the city, and he hasn't had time to visit the Temple of the City God. Today, he has plenty of time and his hands are not empty, so why not have a meal together in the past.
So he followed his mood and headed towards the Town God's Temple.
The Town God's Temple is also very lively here, even though the market where Fang Chang stayed just now is not as bad, but the types of goods sold in the two places are still very different. The Town God's Temple is full of food and entertainment, mainly food and entertainment industries, while Fang Chang just now In the inner city market that we left, there are mainly various practical utensils.
The residents of the city have known this for a long time. When they need something, they can go to the corresponding place to find it, and there will be no mistakes.
There are crowds of people here, and people are bumping into each other, but when Fang Chang came here, the crowd automatically parted on both sides, as if voluntarily giving way to him. But these citizens, in fact, didn't realize that he passed here. So Fang Chang carried big and small bags of food and passed through the crowd without any hindrance, let alone the few paper bags in his hand.
Walking in front of the Town God's Temple, Fang Chang didn't knock on the door this time, and walked in directly.
Different from the Town God's Temple that the common people saw, Fang Chang used a bit of mana when he approached the Town God's Temple, so he walked directly into the City God's cave.
This is not a disrespect, because the city god’s cave is not the same as that of the mountain god’s land, and it also undertakes some official duties. Unlike the mountain god’s land cave, it is just a private residence. He saw that the messengers here were very busy coming and going, and some of them had chains on their hands.
