Chapter Twenty-Eight: New Openings
The next day, An Xiabai went out early to buy and didn't go to the market for several days, plus there was such a big incident in her stall, and the vegetable vendors were very concerned about her: "Is it true that Gejia Restaurant framed you for having problems with your food?" ”
Most of the people who come to the market to sell vegetables are elderly women, and when they usually talk about gossip, they are fast-talking, An Xiabai's stall is reopened, and they still need the help of their public opinion, so they frowned and said: "It's true, but now it's nothing, Lord Shen enforced the law impartially and helped me punish the framed people, and the stall can continue to open from now on." ”
The vegetable vendors talked about it one after another, saying that there was such an ugly incident in the Gejia Restaurant, and the business would definitely not be able to continue, so it was better to keep An Xiabai.
"You will come to us to buy in the future, if anyone dares to say that there is a problem with your ingredients in the future, we will be the first to jump out to help you speak, and we will never refuse!"
Even if he knew that they acted righteously because they still had abacus in their hearts, An Xiabai was still quite moved: "Then I will trouble the bosses in the future." ”
Her smile made the vendors in the vegetable market feel good, and everyone knew that she had been wronged some time ago, so they picked out her best dishes for her, and promised that she would be the first to cover her if something similar happened in the future.
An Xiabai finally picked out the ingredients to set up her own small stall, and some guests came over, and when they saw her open as usual, the regulars were very happy: "I thought Mrs. Lu would not come again!" ”
"How can you not come, even if you have been framed, the business still has to be done, isn't it, what do the guest officers eat?" An Xiabai came out and asked with a smile, "Our family's ingredients are the best ones just picked from the vegetable market, and they can't be compared to other restaurants, you can eat them with confidence!" ”
The guest chuckled and ordered a few side dishes of his famine.
After yesterday's incident, An Xiabai became a celebrity in the small town, and I heard that the food she made was so delicious that the shopkeeper of the restaurant wanted to dig into the corner, and everyone followed suit, but An Xiabai was busy.
But fortunately, everyone saw that she was busy working in the stall by herself, and there were many customers, so they were very considerate of her difficulty, and they were willing to take some time to wait.
By the time An Xiabai was finally busy, the small stall was already full.
Knowing that business would definitely be better than usual today, but he didn't expect it to be so good, An Xiabai gently rubbed his shoulder, tired and extremely happy at the same time.
When the business is done, only then can we have the capital to talk about self-reliance, right?
"Mrs. Lu, are you tired?" A guest on the side handed over a handkerchief and asked An Xia Bai to wipe her sweat, seeing her tired appearance, she couldn't help but propose, "Why don't you ask someone for help in this stall, after all, Gejia Restaurant is not very good at fighting, your business will only get better and better in the future, you are busy every day, and sooner or later your body will be exhausted." ”
An Xiabai smiled and nodded, taking advantage of the fact that there were many people now, she felt that she needed to make a name for herself.
"Everyone, how about you be quiet and listen to what I have to say?" Her voice was neither loud nor small, just enough for everyone to hear, and they all turned their faces.
With so many pairs of eyes looking at herself, An Xiabai was quite nervous, but she didn't show it on her face, and still smiled: "What has happened to my small stall, I think all the guests should have heard about it, opening this stall is really full of twists and turns, but fortunately, I am lucky to come over every time, it is estimated that God favors me, let me eat this bowl of rice." I am here to promise you fathers and fellow villagers that as long as this business is open for one day in the future, my family's ingredients will always be the freshest, and I will never fool the guests with bad things, if you don't believe me, you can go to the vegetable market to ask the vegetable vendors, they agreed today, and they will cover me in the future! ”
Among the guests who sat down to eat, there was a vegetable vendor who had just closed the stall and was about to go home, who smiled when he heard this, and said loudly: "What Mrs. Lu said is true, her ingredients will definitely be the freshest in the future, and her family's business is contracted by our Chengdong Vegetable Market." ”
The crowd burst into laughter, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
Since then, An Xiabai's hand-made meals have become the representative of the town's assured food, the stall she opened is always full of business, sometimes go late, and may not even be able to eat, in contrast to the obvious, the Gejia restaurant is full of birds, so deserted that it does not look like a restaurant, and the two or three guests who come occasionally are mostly outsiders, and they don't understand the joints at all.
The days passed like this, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day when the shopkeeper Ge was released.
He was much thinner than when he first entered, but his eyes were as bright as a lamp, and at first glance he was a little seeping.
The first thing he did when he got out of prison was not to go back to his restaurant, but to An Xiabai's stall, but he didn't get close, just stood at a distance and watched.
The little guy who followed the shopkeeper Ge was his confidant, and he couldn't help but shed tears when he saw this: "Shopkeeper, you may not know in prison, during this time, An Xiabai's business has been so good that it will be full when it passes a little later, and our restaurant is the opposite, and no guests have entered the door for three consecutive days." ”
The shopkeeper Ge's eyes reflected An Xiabai's smiling face, and he gritted his teeth and hated: "If you don't have business, don't open it first, close the door and rectify." ”
Isn't closing the door for rectification a throw-in to the outside world?
The little guy panicked, and was about to say something more, but he saw the shopkeeper Ge flicking his sleeves and saying something in his mouth: "An Xiabai, if you ruin my wealth, I will never let you have a good time!" ”
The words were full of anger, which made the writer shiver with fright.
The shopkeeper went straight to his restaurant, and there were even a few beggars sitting in front of the restaurant, dressed in rags and smelling all over his body.
He scolded, telling the beggars to get out of his sight.
The beggar who was squatting in front of the door of the restaurant and napping was frightened, and quickly jumped up from the ground, and after a moment of confusion, he immediately recognized the person in front of him as the shopkeeper Ge, and sneered: "Isn't this the shopkeeper Ge, why was he released from prison by Lord Shen so quickly, it seems that he didn't spend less money on it." ”
Shopkeeper Ge no longer smiled after this, his appearance of frowning was terrifying, and the beggars were so frightened that they couldn't help but retreat, and then thought that this was on the street, no matter how ruthless it was, could it still kill people, and began to harden again.
"What's wrong with sleeping in front of your restaurant, do you still think that your restaurant is open, the rotten ingredients and cooking things have spread to every corner of the city, and your restaurant will not have any guests back instead of wasting rent, it is better to close the door early, and save trouble in the future!"
Shopkeeper Ge was so angry that he trembled all over, and he picked up a stick and wanted to smash it on the beggar's mouthful, but he deftly dodged it.
He also wanted to continue beating people, but the beggar didn't know where to hit and found a few rotten vegetable leaves and eggs, smashed them all on him with a snap, and then ran away with oil on the soles of his feet.
Shopkeeper Ge was so annoyed that he couldn't do it, but he had no choice but to hold his anger in his heart.
"What are you doing in a daze, closing the door, so that people can't see me?" Turning his head and seeing the appearance of the little guy in a trance, the shopkeeper Ge roared angrily.
The door slowly closed with the sound of his thunderous thunder, and halfway through the shut, suddenly there were hands against the door.
"Shopkeeper Ge, you're also out!" The visitor laughed.
He is none other than Li Dong, who was hired by Shopkeeper Ge to smash An Xiabai's stall.
When the shopkeeper Ge saw him, he was even more angry: "You still dare to appear in front of me!" ”
Li Dong shrunk his neck back, but his hand refused to let go: "The money you promised me at the beginning has not been settled, and I am still waiting to use the money to repay the debt, Ge Shopkeeper, you are a serious person, you can't rely on my account!" ”
He was about to be laughed at by him, stealing chickens and rice is not a recipe, no one can get it, but his own restaurant business is about to go on, to this point, Li Dong still dares to ask him for money?
What a shame!
With a wave of his hand, a few small guys rushed out of the restaurant, got the order, dragged people into the door and beat them, and beat Li Dong like a dog, so he could only roll on the ground and scream.
"I didn't send you in, when, I was also deceived by An Xiabai's slut at the beginning, we should be on the same side against her now, shouldn't we?" Li Dong barely squeezed out a sentence in the addition of punches and kicks.
On the one hand, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to make trouble, and on the other hand, he felt that Li Dong was still useful, and the shopkeeper Ge let others stop.
"I have remembered everything that An Xiabai did to me, and sooner or later I will let her pay it back tenfold!" Shopkeeper Ge said with a cold look.
On the other hand, An Xiabai didn't know that she was being remembered, she also thought that after experiencing the disaster of prison, Shopkeeper Ge would learn to be well-behaved, or be busy tidying up his restaurant, where would she have thought that he was so restless.
At that time, she had just returned home, and after a long day's work, she was so tired that she almost collapsed, and as soon as she stepped through the door, she found a chair and sat down.
Lu Li looked at her with her eyes closed and a tired face, and said that it must be false if she was not distressed.
"If you don't want to do business, you want to go, and if you go home like this every day, your body will be unbearable sooner or later." He complained, but his hand was resigned to An Xiabai's shoulder.
"Yes, yes, that's it, husband, work harder." An Xia Bai said with his eyes closed.
Lu Li was annoyed and amused, and was more distressed: "Why don't you ask someone to help you, it's better to be more relaxed?" ”
An Xiabai hadn't had this idea, she calculated the account, and felt that it was really not cost-effective: "The stall's business seems to be booming, but because of location restrictions and food problems, it doesn't make much money by removing the cost, and if you hire a helper, you won't make much money." ”
"I can support you, it doesn't matter how much you earn." Lu Li said lightly, if she makes herself so tired every day, she is not the only one who tortures, and he will be uncomfortable to watch.
"The main reason is that I am afraid that their craftsmanship is not good, and almost all the customers who come to the stall to eat come for my craftsmanship, which is a signboard, if I invite someone to come, in case the dishes are not appetizing, I will be even more uncomfortable."
Father Su happened to come out of the kitchen, thought for a while, and proposed: "Why don't I help you take care of the things on the stall, you also know my skills, and it is not bad compared to you." ”
It's not bad, it's not bad, An Xiabai didn't want to tire her, and was about to refuse, but he listened to Su's father say categorically: "I'm not an outsider, it's just that there is nothing to do during this time, and it's good to help you occasionally get started, isn't it?" Let's settle the matter, let's eat first. ”
