Chapter 21 Fortune is made
"Breakfast is open, today's breakfast has soy milk, egg soup, fritters, meat stuffed buns, scallion oil cakes, crispy cakes, egg fried rice, and six refreshing side dishes, as long as a copper plate, you can eat it today." Ling Xia wore an apron and opened from the window.
"This is the buffet introduced by the centurion?" Several soldiers looked at the pastry in front of them, wiped the corners of their mouths, and asked with disdain: "What if we don't want to eat the buffet?" ”
"If you don't want to eat a buffet, you can go to the side for a working meal." As he spoke, Ling Xia pointed to a basin of water and a drawer of cool wotou at the window next door and said, "Today's working meal is a cool wo wo with cold boiled water and stick rice noodles, the cold water is limited to one bite per person, and the wowotou is limited to half a per person." ”
"I'll you...... If you don't eat your buffet, you can only drink cold water, and it's a limited edition. After complaining, the soldiers took out a copper coin from their pockets: "Brothers, you can trust your skills, how about we try this so-called buffet?" Well, we're going to have a lot of food. ”
"No problem, the most fearless person who opens a restaurant is a pot-bellied man." After saying haha, Ling Xia immediately arranged for the meal: "The shopkeeper collects the money, Shangguan Hui registers, Qu Qinshi and Liu Piaoyi beckons the brothers to the table for dinner." ”
Suddenly, the canteen fell into a busy, after the soldiers handed over the money to Yang Lucai, they took the dishes and chopsticks to cook and serve rice, and when they saw so many noodles, the soldiers were not polite, and opened their bellies to eat.
"It's delicious, it's good, I love this pie."
"Wow, this bun is so delicious, and there is soup."
"You've got a taste of these side dishes, it's just amazing."
"One, three, seven, fifteen, thirty, fifty, seventy, one hundred......" Ling Xia, who was in charge of adding vegetables and cooking, silently counted the people who came to eat, and saw that all the soldiers who came at this moment were soldiers from the 700-person team, while no one from the other 100-person team had come.
Ling Xia was secretly anxious, he had prepared a meal for more than three hundred people today, if those people didn't come, then he could only barely recover the cost today, and he didn't earn a penny after working for half a day, which was not good.
Just when Ling Xia was worried about the people who were eating, suddenly, he saw Shi Polei leading two women in, the woman on the left was about thirty years old, with a stout figure, a sallow complexion, drummed temples, and a thick layer of calluses on the surface of his palms.
The woman on the right is in her forties, slender and slender, with a phoenix hairpin on her head, some freckles on her face, and a bone chain whip coiled around her waist. Although these two people are ordinary in appearance, they are heroic, both of them are wearing military uniforms, wearing bronze chest armor on their chests, and they look like centurion-level officers.
"Brother Ling, the one on my left is the centurion of Qin Moyan of the 300-man team, and the one on the right is the centurion of Zhang Wenshan of the 100-man team." After introducing the identities of the two, Shi Polei said angrily:
"Yesterday afternoon, I publicized a circle, but those centurions were all too expensive, and they were reluctant to let their men come down to eat here, only these two sisters gave face, and led their soldiers to come over to cheer, you have to entertain me."
"Okay, rest assured, my lord, I promise to make you feel at home, eat and drink well." In response, Ling Xia personally led the three of them to eat, and during the meal, Ling Xia quietly observed the tastes of Zhang Wenshan and Qin Moyan, and he found that Qin Moyan had a rough personality and liked to eat meat. Zhang Wenshan, on the other hand, has a light taste and likes to eat some simple food. ”
After remembering the preferences of these two people, Ling Xia immediately went back to the kitchen to adjust the ingredients, and was busy for more than an hour, and all the breakfast was sold, Yang Lucai counted it, and this morning he collected three hundred and thirty-six copper coins, that is to say, in addition to Shi Polei's three centurions, a total of three hundred and thirty-six people came to eat.
Busy with the meals of more than 300 people at once, but Liu Piaoyi and the three of them were tired, and after cleaning up the tableware and hygiene, the three of them began to help Ling Xia with the dishes, because noon was the focus of the buffet, in order to do a good job, even Yang Lucai put down his body and helped from the back kitchen.
Ling Xia did not forget his identity as a grain and grass man, knowing that he still had a soldier under his hand, he called Lao Cui to the canteen and gave him a task, that is, to find a way to publicize the grand occasion of this morning's dinner, and let the entire thousand-person team know about it.
After receiving the order, Lao Cui immediately went out on an errand, and after Lao Cui left, Ling Xia began to prepare lunch, he first steamed thirty pots of rice, in order to make good use of the season and resources, when he was steaming rice, he specially steamed dozens of pots of pork ribs and chicken nuggets.
Because most of the soldiers who came today were female soldiers, in order to cater to the tastes of those female soldiers, Ling Xia rearranged the dishes, and three hours later, Ling Xia and the others had almost prepared the meal.
"It's time to eat, today's noon dishes include braised pork, steamed pork ribs, steamed chicken nuggets, pork meatballs, sweet and sour tenderloin, kung pao chicken, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, dried fried kidney beans, mushroom rape, fried bean skin with chili, and the staple food is rice, flower rolls, and flatbread, everyone still eats casually."
At noon, the soldiers came to the canteen again, saw a pot of vegetables in front of the window, stared at the staple food on the counter, and the soldiers immediately cheered: "There are so many meat dishes, flatbread, rice, oh my God, and rice, this money is simply worth it." ”
Seeing the soldiers scrambling to hold the dishes and chopsticks to serve the meat, Yang Lucai was a little distressed: "These rabbit cubs are picked up today, and they can't eat such good dishes even if they improve their lives. ”
"Don't worry, we have enough food, and the more they eat, the better." After saying this, Ling Xia took away the empty basin, and then brought out a pot of braised pork, and when he saw that the canteen was really full, those soldiers immediately cheered.
"I'm afraid you didn't come up with the idea of this buffet, I guess it was that kid's idea, right? Very good, it seems that it will not be long before you can solve the problem of military salary. Zhang Wenshan held a Kung Pao chicken, a scrambled egg with tomatoes, a sweet and sour tenderloin, a bowl of rice, and commented with envy.
"Although I don't know how much money Lao Shi can make in this business, but looking at the smile on his face, he must be able to make a fortune, alas, he has a way to pay his military salary, what should we do with our military salary." Qin Moyan held a braised pork, a pork ribs, a pork ball, a dry fried kidney beans, three rolls of oil cakes, and two flower rolls, and he also made an envious evaluation.
"Hehe----- small business------ eat and eat------- those few who didn't come will definitely regret dying, and when they want to come, Lao Tzu will raise the price for them, hehe------ come on, let's eat." Shi Polei saw that the soldiers' emotions were high, and he was also very happy when he thought that the military salary had been settled.
When these people were eating from the hall, there were more than a dozen people standing at the door of the canteen, smelling the aroma wafting from the canteen, looking at the oily faces of the soldiers inside, and all those individuals subconsciously swallowed their saliva: "Lao Cui, you are too inauthentic, call our brothers over, just to gluttony us." ”
"I can't help it, we Shi went to your centurion before, and wanted you to come over to eat together, but your centurion was reluctant, you see, your centurion was reluctant, but other centurions were willing, look at the beauty of what people eat, tsk, it's really hungry." Lao Cui Bar said with a pout.
"Did you bring any money? Or? Shall we go in and have a try? One of them proposed.
When the other people heard this person's words, they all nodded in agreement: "Isn't it just a copper coin?" Let's go, go and taste it, the money is our own, and the centurion knows it, and he can't say anything. ”
After taking the money, Lao Cui swaggered and led those people to the window, he first introduced Ling Xia to everyone, saying that Ling Xia was his top boss, and then Lao Cui handed over the copper coins to Ling Xia, saying that he wanted to invite a few friends to eat a buffet.
took the copper coins in his hand, flipped them casually, and then returned the copper coins to Lao Cui, looking at Lao Cui's puzzled look, Ling Xia smiled: "Since I am your top boss, then I should take care of you, today's meal is mine, go, lead your friends to dinner." ”
"Thank you------ thank you------ thank you, sir." After saying thank you, Lao Cui returned the copper coins to those people, and then led a few of them to serve the meal, and when the food was served, he looked up at Ling Xia, his eyes were full of ------ gratitude.
After lunch, everyone rested for a while, and then began to arrange dinner, Ling Xia prepared a dinner that was also very rich, pork stewed vermicelli, braised pork ribs, celery fried meat, shredded pork with sharp peppers, cold fungus, spicy tofu, and the staple food was finger cakes and mille-feuille cakes.
Today's three meals are not the same, and the quality is still high, the soldiers who ate them all clapped their hands and praised it, and even the three centurions were also delicious, and when they left, they said that they would come back tomorrow.
After dinner and everything was cleaned up, Ling Xia, Yang Lucai, and Shi Polei stared at the cash box and laughed. They received three hundred and thirty-six copper coins today, and after deducting the cost of one hundred and fifty copper coins today, they made a net profit of one hundred and fifty-six copper coins.
There are only three hundred-person teams coming to dine today, if there are other hundred-person teams joining in the back, their profits will definitely be higher, thinking of the high profits in the back, the three of them couldn't help laughing.
Because today is off to a good start, so the rest of the things are smoother, through the private communication of the soldiers, the 700th team has a buffet gradually spread out, although their respective centurions are in charge, but there are still some soldiers secretly go to the 700th team to eat the buffet.
Ling Xia and they found that the number of people who came to eat the buffet was increasing every day, and there were a few times when they were almost not enough to eat, and after these days of publicity and word-of-mouth practice, the reputation of the buffet has been completely out.
With the increase in the number of diners, this brought Ling Xia and them a high profit, and the three of them could be said to have made a lot of money during this time.
