Chapter 14 On the right track

No wonder, the two poems selected by Song Kai were both works of lovesickness. After Xue Weihai read them, he naturally thought that Nie Hong was inspired by the fact that he could not meet Song Kai.

Song Kai had no choice but to laugh and said, "Everyone sit, sit, eat, eat."

Ah Fu also hurried over to greet the guests. Nie Lingdang was wearing men's clothes, with a plaster on her face, and a servant's hat, looking like a waiter's face. She looked a little proud. After all, the signature of this poem is her name.

The entire inn was talking about the name "Nie Hong", but it was strange that everyone heard of this legendary woman for the first time.

Song Kai shouted: "Today's visitors are customers, and the cost will be reduced by 20%. If everyone is satisfied with the food, they can also purchase the membership card of our store in the future."

Everyone was in a noisy situation and finally sat down slowly.

Xue Weihai sat by the table by the window. Soon, Song Kai brought a "menu" and said, "Old Xue, let's see what you want to eat first. I'll greet the two shop assistants and tell them."

"This...is pretty good," Xue Weihai smiled as he looked at the menu.

Song Kai bowed and said goodbye, he still had a lot to do.

Most of the people who came ordered the refried meat, old vinegar and peanuts, and of course they were also a bit drunk. In addition, the wine that was distilled again was relatively turbid and tasted a little sweet. After the Song Kai was distilled again, the wine could reach more than 30 degrees, and the wine taste became stronger.

This kind of Qinglie Hero wine, almost a small pot was ordered on all tables, and soon the inn was filled with alcohol.

When the meat is served, there is a sound of praise, but it is just praise. After the stimulation of the poem, not many people will praise this meat again loudly.

In the kitchen, Yang Tieshan looked at three large iron pots alone, and flew up and down in his hand. He also had to cut vegetables with his ancestral iron kitchen knife from time to time. He was really busy.

"Have the refried pork on Table 3 been prepared?" Nie Lingling had completely taken over her new role. She was like a responsible and cheerful waiter, running around constantly, serving dishes, serving tea, and collecting money. How could she look like a princess?

Yang Tieshan wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned around and grinned at Nie Lingling, "Wait, girl Lingling, it's all right. Are you tired? Do you want your brother to pour you a glass of water?"

"Get out!" Nie Lingdang learned how Song Kai cursed, "You can work quickly!"

"Okay, okay," Yang Tieshan continued to wave the big iron spoon, very happy.

After a brief heat, all the tables were filled with vegetables and wine. After that, although there were sparse guests, the inn was no longer too busy.

Song Kai also thrust his body, held the peanuts and sat opposite Xue Weihai.

Xue Weihai sighed deliberately, "Hey, I originally thought that your inn could be completely defeated and I could ask you to help me with work. Now it seems that it is impossible."

Song Kai smiled and said, "What can I do? It's okay to chat with you and fight wine. By the way, wine, come on, Mr. Xue, I have to toast you. If you don't save me that day, White Snake and I will probably be in a mess."

Xue Weihai poured a glass of wine, shook the glass, and said, "This wine is what I did at Dr. Sun's house that day."

"It's almost the same, but at that time, it was done for disinfection, well, just to treat knife wounds, so the degree was higher. Now it was to cheer up drinking, so the degree was calmer," Song Kai said, poured a glass, raised the glass to signal to Xue Weihai.

Xue Weihai had drunk it, smash it, and said, "It's pretty good, but it's really too strong. If I can't drink a few cups, I should be drunk."

"A drunkenness relieves a thousand worries," Song Kai laughed.

Xue Weihai was stunned, then shook his head, "Your thinking is very negative. Some things, even if you are drunk, it still cannot solve them."

Song Kai didn't know what Xue Weihai was saying, he just laughed, "If it's beyond his ability, it would be nice to forget it with drunkenness."

Xue Weihai still shook his head, "A man who dies for his confidant dies, and a good man must sacrifice his life for justice. He will wear a horse and wear a body. Even if he knows that he cannot do it, he still has to do it."

Song Kai raised his wine glass again, "What Mr. Xue taught me is the lesson."

Although Song Kai was not moved at all. As a person in the 21st century, he had long regarded the change of dynasties and the narrow national justice. Success, kings and defeats are like this in ancient and modern times. War is certainly not good, but its promotion and development of productivity is not bad.

Xue Weihai sighed, then smiled happily, "Your store is about to be completed. After today, it will surely become famous in Suzhou City."

"Haha, that's my biggest wish," Song laughed, "try how the meat tastes this time."

...

In fact, before the next day, the fame of Hongchen Inn spread throughout the literary world of Suzhou City that night.

That night, a word cannot be separated from the literati of Suzhou City. The name of the water tune cannot be missing, and that is Nie Hong. The words such as Nie Hong and the water tune are also mixed with the Hongchen Inn. Of course, occasionally, some people talk about Song Kailai.

When talking about Song Kai, it is not because Song Kai is the owner of the Hongchen Inn, but because of the rumor that Song Kai and the legendary woman Nie Hong had a love story. The two of them were unable to get together because of family feuds and ambitions, so Nie Hong wrote the song "Shuitu Song Head".

Anyway, things became more and more bizarre, and in the end, all the details of where and how Song Kai and Nie Hong were dating were released.

Hongchen Inn.

Everyone suddenly realized that no wonder Song Kai was guarding such a broken inn. It turned out that he was in the world, infatuated and waiting for Nie Hong's meaning...

Rumors spread, and the result was that Hongchen Inn was really famous.

That night, Song Kai, Afu, Nie Lingdang and Zhao Tieshan sat around a table for dinner.

While drinking, Song Kai added and reduced the ragged account book.

"What symbol are you?" Nie Lingdang asked, "Is it the one, two, and three you taught me?"

"Yes, these symbols can be calculated," Song Kai explained casually. He intended to train this greedy girl to become a shopkeeper.

While calculating and explaining, Song Kai quickly raised his head and grinned, "Today's turnover is ten and three hundred yuan. If we ignore the ingredients, firewood, manpower, taxation, etc., well, the net profit is about five tons of money, that is, five taels of silver and one tael of gold, haha."

Ah Fu's eyes widened.

Nie Lingling frowned and chewed the slices of meat, while saying, "Is that the only thing? I see that the business is very booming today, and I am so tired that my back hurts."

"I'll give you a blow," Zhao Tieshan took the opportunity to speak.

"Shut up!" Nie Lingling glared at Zhao Tieshan.

"No, no more, Miss Nie, the profit of a day is one or two gold, it's really a lot. Woo, Tianyou Song family, Tianyou Dalang," Afu cried while eating vegetables, tears mixed with his nose and drilled into his mouth.

Nie Lingling frowned when she saw it.

Song Kai laughed, "Tomorrow I will post a recruitment notice and recruit a friend, a kitchen assistant who is responsible for washing and cutting vegetables, so that everyone will not be too busy."

"Okay, but if you invite someone, wouldn't you have to pay the wages again? Alas, I feel sorry," Nie Lingling muttered.

Zhao Tieshanzhi stood in his head and whispered: "Sister Lingdang, it's Song Lang's salary anyway, so we can only relax if we hire more people."

"Shut up, I have dividends for the money I earned," Nie Lingdang snorted, and then decided to pay dividends.

Song Kai could only smile helplessly.

After dinner, Song Kai asked Afu to boil hot water, and it was time to take a rest after washing.

In early autumn, the moonlight is silent and the starry sky is urging. This is an era where stars can be seen.

Song Kai lay on the bench in the yard, staring at the starry sky in a daze. All the past flashed by, and his past experiences were like dreams.

Life is really wonderful.

"What are you thinking?" Nie Lingling walked over and sat down at Song Kai's feet.

"I miss my wife," Song Kai still stared at the starry sky.

"It's really a waste of time," Nie Lingdang complained.

Song Kai smiled and didn't explain much. He missed his wife, thinking about his girlfriend in his previous life, and felt that he owed her too much.

Nie Lingdang thought that Song Kai was thinking of Liu Yuchan, "You make more money, not only have a wife, but also can marry many concubines. Alas, Song Kai, you can tell me, is there any way to make money."

"Yes, I've gone too much, but I don't want to do it anymore. Now this profit can support us, isn't it enough?" Song Kai put his hands on his head, looked at the starry sky, and said.

we……

The speaker was unintentional, but Nie Lingling felt warm in her heart after hearing this.

But it was just a warm and she said with a grudge: "You will be satisfied with this little money, really! Tell me quickly, what other ways to make money!"

Song Kaixiao said, "You can apply to the government and open a counter selling wine. You have also seen it. Our Qinglie Hero wine will definitely have good sales in the future. Also, in the morning, I can make guest appearances in the storytelling to ensure that our store is full. I can also do creative inventions and make some soap, paper, movable type printing and other things to sell. Of course, if you open a clinic, it will be faster, and it will be specially used to treat incurable diseases..."

Nie Lingling listened quietly, but she couldn't understand anyway, but it didn't matter. She was used to some strange words that popped up in Song Kai's mouth. The scholars of the Tang Dynasty were so powerful that she couldn't even understand what they said.

After a while, Song Kai sighed and said, "But I don't want to do these things. After a few days, the inn can be operated safely. You will be the shopkeeper. It's time for me to learn some martial arts."

Nie Lingling burst out laughing when she heard the last sentence. She stood up, stretched out her little hand, and touched Song Kai's forehead, "Oh, it's not hot, why are you talking nonsense?"

Song Kai reached out and held Nie Lingdang's little hand, "Who is talking nonsense, I'm serious."

Nie Lingling hurriedly pulled her hand back and pretended to be angry and kicked Song Kai, "You are a scholar or a hidden talent, what kind of martial arts are you learning? Those are made by rough people."
