    Shunchang Street is actually two streets that form a cross in the center of Xixi Market and extend in four directions, forming the main street of Xixi. The acquisition of it has a festive meaning.  The streets south of East and West Shunchang are naturally called South Shunchang. There is nothing to say about this. Anyway, the entire Shunchang Street has the most advantageous location and is where the most densely packed shops are. Its prosperity is even compared to Houshi Street and Houshi Street in Hangzhou.  Hefengfang and Yongjinmen are no less generous.  The price of prosperity is "living in a big city is not easy." It is said that the rent of shops along Shunchang Street is equivalent to that of several main streets in Hangzhou. Most people don't even ask, otherwise they can't afford to lose that person.  Of course, the people involved in this kind of thing keep it secret. After all, Chinese people have the habit of not leaking wealth since ancient times, and people outside are just guessing. Even if Shunchang Street is promoted to be the most prosperous in Bianliang, Tokyo, it is not impossible, so everyone  That is to say, just listen to it for fun, and then sigh with emotion, "How come the gap between people is so big?" That's it. No one will make a living out of this.  However, these days, Shunchang Street housing prices have once again become the focus of discussion after dinner. The reason is that Mo Laosi, who sells cooking cakes all over the street with a load and often dare not even set foot on Shunchang Street, actually rents a house in Nanshunchang.  He bought a quite large two-story shop. According to the research of good people, the rental price alone will not be less than 200 yuan per year. This, this, this, how many cakes does he have to make to fill this hole?  Of course, the fact that Mo Laosi can make magical stir-fries is also the hottest news recently.  Not to mention Xixi, even the city of Hangzhou was shocked. It is said that many people have gone to his small dilapidated restaurant to eat stir-fried dishes, and they all praised him.  But even if this matter can be considered true, many people still vaguely know how much money the Mo family has. Anyway, it is impossible to rent a shop in Nanshunchang for two hundred yuan, not to mention that it is only the rent, and the rest is a mess.  I don¡¯t know how many times his expenses were. Where did he, an honest man who only sold cooking cakes, get so much money?  Under this situation, rumors started to spread again. According to extremely unreliable news, the reason why Mr. Mo dared to do this was not because he had so much money, but because there was a truly wealthy owner behind him. It was said that he was the first owner in Xixi.  ¡ª¡ªThe Shen family.  As a century-old prominent family in Xixi, the Shen family has a lot of wealth. This possibility is possible. However, the Shen family has always been very secretive about this. Even when it was spread all over the street, no one came out to confirm it.  Or deny it, anyway, it¡¯s just to whet everyone¡¯s appetite.  Various news came and went, and whenever people's enthusiasm was about to subside, news about the Mo family came out inexplicably. There were low prices, and there were competitive products that were more powerful than stir-fried vegetables. There were all kinds of tricks.  Endless, but no one knows who is spreading these messages to the outside world - most people are just spectators drifting with the crowd, but they are not free microphones brought by thoughtful people with their efforts.  Anyway, for a whole month, the shop on Shunchang Street that has not yet hung up its signboard and whose door is closed has always used various mysterious images to seduce people to inquire, wait and see, and look forward to  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Chinese people pay attention to luck when doing things. For example, when choosing a day, you will definitely go out.  If you don't get a double, you can only be on the 39th. What you want is auspiciousness.  Under the gaze of countless expectant eyes, on July 29th, the mysterious shop that had been sealed for more than a month finally had its doors removed, and three or five young men who were close to Mo Xiaoyi were wearing clothes on the streets of Xixi.  In the brand new Chou shirt, a huge black lacquer plaque with the words "Heshun Juchang" was hung on the high front door amid the countless attentions that had gathered here in advance after getting the news.  The name of the wine shop, which has been guessed many times by the people in the market, finally revealed its true identity, "Heshun Juchang", which is named after Shunchang, and uses Heshun to gather wealth. When I saw this name, I didn't know where a burst of applause suddenly broke out.  , the onlookers who didn't know what was going on started shouting loudly without knowing what was going on, and the enthusiastic lottery swept half of Shunchang Street.  It also attracted many wanderers from far and near whose target was not here.  Naturally, the next step is the lucky draw. In the Song Dynasty, firecrackers were made into strings wrapped with paper tubes and made of gunpowder. During the New Year and festivals, the sound continued, and the wish was still for good luck. When twenty strings of specially made thousand-ring firecrackers were lit one after another outside the wine shop,  When the smoke and dust burst out with a deafening loud noise, it not only raised the atmosphere to the highest point, but also confirmed to people the true strength of the owner of Heshun Juchang Winery.  If you want to do something, do it big. This is Shen Qian's motto. It's better not to do anything than to make a small fuss. When the smoke from the firecrackers has not completely dissipated, six boys wearing uniform royal blue thick shirts divided into two.  Queues lined up on both sides of the main entrance, and guests were greeted with loud smiles.  In this era, there is actually a rule for the waiter to greet guests at the door, but it is just a sporadic act of welcoming guests out after seeing them.?, this is the first time that "Heshun Juchang" prepares in uniform.  In front of this unexpected event, the people who were preparing to feast became even more interested, and soon they crowded into the large and bright open hall. When they saw nearly fifty large tables arranged neatly, all of which were elegantly decorated.  A vase with fresh flowers in it, everyone was dumbfounded - is this a wine shop?  I¡¯ve never seen it before, and I¡¯m already in a good mood even before I see the dishes ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ However, compared to the many gluttonous guests whose curiosity was raised again and again, some people were unhappy.  At this time, in a teahouse diagonally opposite "Heshun Juchang", three middle-aged guests sitting at the door table had gloomy faces. While drinking tea, they paid attention to the bustle in front of "Heshun Juchang".  When a large number of guests began to crowded in, the middle-aged fat man in a brocade snorted bitterly, then placed the tea cup heavily on the table, took it out of his sleeve, and after a while  He took out two guan of money, slapped it on the table, and whispered to a young man in his twenties, dressed as a scholar, across the table: "Ten guan of money, these two guan are the final nail in the coffin, as long as you make things right  You've done it quickly, and you won't miss the remaining eight pieces. Go ahead and be careful." As he spoke, he took off a small cloth bag from his waist and handed it to the young man.  The young man, who was fair and fair, shivered when he saw the cloth bag, then hesitantly reached out and took it, and whispered very unconfidently: "I did this, shopkeeper Jiang really doesn't care about what happened before?"  , I'll give you another ten dollars" "Where's all this nonsense! My hair is dyed green, and you don't even think about getting away without saying anything?" That middle-aged fat man is Yashun Lou!  Jiang Xing, the shopkeeper, was lucky that the young scholar didn't mention the "previous thing". When he mentioned it like this, his face suddenly darkened, and he cursed through gritted teeth. He huffed and puffed for a while, but finally felt that just scaring him wouldn't have any effect.  He had no choice but to calm down and said: "Don't be afraid. You are a foreigner. No one will recognize you. Besides, you are a scholar. No one will notice you. Go ahead. If you are two steps later, you will not be able to occupy the seat. As long as you do this well.  Okay, let's forget about the past." "Yes, I'll go right now. Shopkeeper Jiang, just wait for the good news." The young man cheered up, hurriedly put the bag in his sleeve, stood up and ran quickly.  Out of the teahouse.  But Jiang Xing, who was behind him, was still breathing heavily with a dark face. The thin-faced Mouse Hu sitting on his side had been watching the young scholar enter "Heshun Juchang" before he turned around.  He raised his head worriedly and said to Jiang Xing: "Shopkeeper Jiang, my boss has already told me that the background behind this 'Heshun Juchang' is definitely not small. Let's not cause trouble. If you do this Oh, what if the boss lets the boss know?"  Got it" "Shit!" Jiang Xing glared angrily and whispered angrily, "His official Yan has a great career and doesn't take our Yashun Tower seriously, but I can't do this. Don't worry about it.  Is the Shen family behind him trying to squeeze me to death? If Yashun Tower collapses, where will I go?" Mouse Hu also looked helpless, nodded in agreement and said, "That's true, too.  . The boss doesn¡¯t care about idle people, and he never shows mercy. If Yashun Tower collapses, we will have no choice but to drink from the northwest wind. However, I think this will not be of much use, after all" "  Sigh" When Jiang Xing heard this, his face turned black. He frowned and gritted his teeth. He could only say helplessly, "What the hell? Is it possible that we can still demolish other people's shops?  If I can kill them, I¡¯ll have to disgust them to death.¡±¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­   At the same time, in the large back kitchen of "Heshun Juchang", Shen Qian and Mo Laosi were sitting reservedly on the benches. In front of them, there were twenty or thirty people standing with hands lowered submissively, waiting for their instructions.  Shen Qian had seen a lot of the world, but it didn't matter. He was drinking tea leisurely while talking, but Mo Laosi, who was forced to sit beside him by him, had a nervous look on his face, and he couldn't find the feeling of giving orders.  He was really dizzy with so many people standing in front of him, and he had to turn his head from time to time to look at the siblings Mo Shuang and Mo Xiaoyi standing aside, just to distract themselves from the tension.  "I have said just now that since we have asked you to come, I will regard you as a member of 'Heshun Juchang'. As long as you have no second thoughts, 'Heshun Juchang' will not treat you badly. Uncle Sun,  Haven't you always wanted to know if I could teach you how to cook?Yes, but now is not the time. As for why, you all understand, so I won¡¯t say more here.  " Shen Qian took a leisurely sip of tea and continued, "These words may be a bit hurtful, but it is better to say it early than to say it later when something goes wrong.  A few days ago, I taught you chefs some skills other than cooking. It¡¯s not that I want you to become apprentices to any teachers. The purpose is to ¡®harmony and prosperity¡¯.  To make money, there are always more ways to do it.  But don¡¯t worry, I, Shen Wu, am not the kind of person who only cares about money. I should let everyone know how much they will get.  There are only four words I talk about in "Heshun Juchang" - the more you work, the more you will get.  The more you do and the more you do well, the more you will naturally earn.  Everyone is here today, let me make it clear that starting from today, every time you cook a dish, you will get half of the price of the dish. Put more thought into making guests appreciate your craftsmanship, and the money will be absolutely  not a problem.  "    "oops!  "Half percent" "A dish is half percent, so at the end of the day, wouldn't it be" Shen Qian's other words didn't attract much attention from others, but this sentence "half percent" immediately attracted an exclamation. This kind of salary  The method is really unheard of. Doesn¡¯t it mean that as long as you are willing to work and put all your mind into your craft, you don¡¯t have to worry about anything! This sentence instantly ignited the emotions of several chefs, and they looked at each other happily.  They quickly raised their hands and said, "Thank you, my boss, for cultivating me.  " "Well, the guests have already come in. You go and get ready. You can't be careless on the first day.  " Shen Qian nodded and dismissed the cooks, and then called the dozen young people standing behind who were wearing blue silk to come forward. Without any nonsense, he said straightforwardly: "You are all working with Xiao Yi and me.  Brothers who grew up together, this 'Heshun Juchang' belongs to Xiaoyi's family, which is also your family.  If it is done well, everyone will have a foundation. If it is not done well, everyone will still have to work hard in the future no matter how hard they worked in the past, so they must have a score in their hearts.  What I said yesterday will definitely happen. Please cheer up and don't make any mistakes. If something goes wrong, don't blame the brothers for losing face.  Go ahead.  " "Yes, boss!  " These dozen or so people are all poor and well-off young men who have been hanging out with Mo Xiaoyi since childhood. They used to make a living by doing anything, and their lives are really hard. This time, they were recruited by Mo Xiaoyi under Shen Qian's plan. They can  I can't thank them enough for having a stable livelihood. How can I say anything? Seeing Shen Qian repeating what he said yesterday, he quickly responded with full energy, and then walked out of the kitchen.  Go out. It only took a moment to give the order, but all the matters were already settled. Mo Laosi, Mo Shuang and Mo Xiaoyi were dumbfounded.  He whispered in his ear: "Sister, have you noticed?  "    "ah!  What?  " Mo Shuang, who had been looking at Shen Qian and didn't know what he was thinking, suddenly came back to his senses. Just as he subconsciously asked, Mo Xiaoyi whispered in an extremely mysterious voice: "I see how the fifth brother seems to be born with it.  It's time for others to surround him.  "Oh" Mo Shuang responded in a daze, and then nodded slightly with a complicated expression.
