146 New restaurant opened
"No—" Man Qing frowned, "Are you really in love with Gao Lao?"
Aunt Gao's eyes were full of thieves, "I don't know about this, I just listened to it." I guess it's just a test, if you really want to propose, you will definitely find a matchmaker, and then come to ask you. After a pause, "Yes, if you really came to propose, I don't think I would ask you a daughter who has been married." ”
Man Qing nodded, "Moreover, there is no woman who takes the initiative to propose!"
Aunt Gao pouted, "That's not necessarily! If you look at Gao Lao's picking, there will definitely be a lot of people who want to post it! Those widows, old girls who can't get married, now that Gao Lao picks this situation, there are people to eat and drink, and you guys help me, what's the worry, isn't it better than most people's lives?!"
The words "with your help" made Man Qing frown, and she wondered if those who had taken a fancy to Gao Lao Zhen really fell in love with him...... But it's still too early to say this at this time, so it's better not to mention it.
"You also tell me the truth," Aunt Gao looked at Man Qing, "just say that you don't agree." If you don't agree, if you hear such inquiries in the future, I will help you refuse!"
This is a bit rebellious, he hasn't said anything about Gao Lao's picking, so he first asked Man Qingtong if he agreed.
"This-" Man Qing smiled wryly, "Let's look at what Gao Lao means." I can't say whether I agree with or disagree with these things, it depends on his own meaning. ”
At this time, Gao Lao Li didn't know what they were talking about, and he was a little confused when he woke up from a big dream.
In the middle of the afternoon, after saying hello to Gao Lao, Zhang Ye took Man Qing and walked back. On the way, Man Qing told him what Aunt Gao said, "You say, are those people really blind and really in love with Gao Laojiao?"
Zhang Ye stretched out his hand and knocked Man Qing, "What is the old man, that's your father!
Man Qing touched his head that didn't hurt, smiled slightly and didn't speak. It's useless for anyone to tell her about this, Gao Lao is Gao Lao.
Actually, what Aunt Six said was right. You think, the Gao family is just one of your daughters, if it is from the inheritance, it is right for Gao Lao to find another one. ”
It's not that Man Qing hasn't thought about this question, but people almost starved to death before, and he really looked down on Gao Laojiao, so he never took it to heart.
"The Gao family is not a wealthy family, how much family property to inherit, is it so important to pass on the ancestry?
"That's what I said. Naturally, no one said that you were having a bad time back then, but now that you are doing well, someone must have mentioned it - even if others don't mention it, Gao Lao will also think about it. ”
Don't let her say that he is not a senior old man behind his back. But he didn't have any malicious intent, and Man Qing didn't care at all, so he didn't hear it.
"You're still okay. Look at me, I don't even know where my father's grave is heading! For so many years, I have been like a weed, born to grow, and from time to time someone pulls one or two handfuls before I can starve to death or be beaten to death...... Hey, lady, be content!"
Manqing also took his hand and rubbed it twice to express comfort. His past is a bit miserable, and she really doesn't know how to comfort him.
"The past is all gone, let's live a good life in the future!"
"Well, let's live a good life!"
After returning to Ningning, their casual wedding holiday is over. Zhang Ye is going to start running out, building a house, a tung forest, and soon the tung seeds will be ripe, and the oil mill will be busy. Man Qing and the Gui family rushed into the preparation for the opening of the new restaurant.
The restaurant faces the street, the front face is two zhang wide, and the depth is more than three zhang; there are ten square tables outside, four round tables in the middle, and five private rooms upstairs; the restaurant also has a small backyard, that is, the kitchen, the storeroom and the utility room. Zhang Ye deliberately got a small utility room and made a small bed, so that he would have to guard the store and have a place to live when the time came.
The shop is Zhang Ye's, and it is naturally counted as Manqing's. There are many people in the Gui family who come to do things, and almost all of them produce vegetables and meat, but they are kind and only willing to take half of the profits;
The shop was only about ten feet away from the wharf at the mouth of the river, and it was the first batch of shops to see from the wharf. Now the wharf has not officially opened, so most of the people who come and go are nearby residents, as well as foreign businessmen who come to step on the spot, but it is already full of people, and when the wharf opens, the liveliness is estimated not to disappoint.
After discussing with the Gui family, Man Qing felt that the restaurant was mainly cooking farmhouse dishes, and those that were too fancy required too much effort, and everyone might not be able to afford to eat in this small place. Now that it is for a trial operation, she still cooks a few simple meals first to try the acceptance of everyone in the neighborhood.
Everybody said yes. In any case, the shop is its own, and most of the materials are its own, so even if the business is not good, it will not lose anything.
The opening day is coming, Zhang Ye originally wanted to invite a lion gong and drum team to be lively, but Man Qing and the Gui family said that it was better to forget it, and the government was still staring at them, so it was better to keep a low profile. So, people who came and went to the pier suddenly found that the small restaurant that had been hung up for a long time but had been closed for a long time suddenly opened.
The first person who came in to eat was a man who had come to work by the river.
In the middle of the morning, Man Qing, Osmanthus and Aunt Gui were busy chopping and washing vegetables in the back kitchen, Gui Fu was cleaning up in the backyard, and Gao Siliang was waiting in the lobby to greet guests—he was the most idle in a group of people. So the senior high school wandered outside the door from time to time, and from time to time to the back kitchen, a busy ant look. At this time, the man came to the door. I saw that he was dressed in a short beat, covered with oily sweat and stains, and he was standing outside the door a little cramped, stretching his neck to look in.
At this time, Gao Siliang saw it, his eyes lit up, and he walked over in three steps and two steps, "This big brother, but you want to eat?"
This man only came to work by the dock after the year - Zhang Ye still needs someone to work, but after the year, he found some outsiders, and it is estimated that this person is one of them - he doesn't know Gao Siliang. He was even more embarrassed when he saw that the senior was so enthusiastic, and kept rubbing his hands, his face was as red as his hands, "I came early today, I didn't eat breakfast, and I'm very hungry at this time - do you have food at home?"
"Yes, yes!" Gao Si's voice was louder twice, "We run a restaurant, how can we not have food?
But the man didn't move, but became more cramped, "Well, I don't know how much your meal costs, I'm going out this morning-"
"Oh, our food is not expensive! If you want to be more affordable, eat and drink to your heart's content, we have already prepared, ten copper plates, you can eat one meat and one vegetarian two big bowls of rice!"
"Really?" the man's eyes lit up, "only ten copper plates?"
"Naturally, it's true, we opened our doors to do business, and we still can't lie to you? Today's meat dishes are sauerkraut stew, and the pigs are all raised by ourselves! Vegetarian dishes are water spinach. And three days before we opened, we will give you a big bowl of bone broth for free, so you can be sure to have a good meal!"
This is one of the methods that Man Qing formulated after discussing with the Gui family: make some inexpensive meals first, there must be many farmers working like them on this dock, so it is fast and affordable, and it will definitely be popular.
One copper plate for a bowl of rice, two copper plates for a vegetarian dish, and six copper plates for a meat dish...... There's also free big bone broth......
The man went away satisfied, and at noon came a large group of men working on the docks.
Qinggui Restaurant opened in a low-key and lively manner.
