Chapter 22: Reversal of Advantages and Inferiors
I heard that the cow building wants to select guys from among the beggars, and all the beggars in the neighborhood are here.
There are more than 40 beggars begging in Jinmingchi, the old ones are 50 years old, the younger ones are only more than two years old, the men account for the majority, several women are husbands and wives begging with their husbands, and the children are also from their families. Lu Wei was amazed by the fertility of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and in this case, he still gave birth.
Receiving so many people at once, people from the government will soon arrive. Lu Wei confessed that only teenagers, women, and children between the ages of fifteen and twenty were accepted, and adult men were each dressed in a set of clean clothes, and went to each gate of Jinmingchi to solicit guests, and for each guest, he was paid five copper plates.
The beggars were ecstatic, and this was considered a legitimate job.
At the same time, Lu Wei offered lucrative conditions to recruit cooks. The cook from Wangyuan Tower came to sign up and was told that he would not accept it. The cook who originally jumped ship from Kanniulou went to find Lu An, cried and complained about the love of the two generations of proprietors of Kanniulou, and then scolded Lu Yuan for all kinds of deductions that he was not a human being, and begged Lu An to help intercede.
Lu An couldn't wipe his face and asked Lu Wei to accept them.
Lu Weidao: "If you know today, why bother in the beginning? It's just some cool people. ”
Geng Zhi still remembers the meal he ate in Wangyuan Tower, shook his head like a rattle, and said, "The chef of this family is not good at cooking. ”
"But I promised them." Lu An was very embarrassed, he thought that his son would be filial and would definitely listen to him, but the fat man was a newcomer, how could he dare to disobey his will? I didn't expect these two people to give no face at all.
"You let them come to me." Lu Wei and Geng Zhi spoke in unison.
The three cooks came to Lu Wei with a bitter face, and Lu Wei said: "If you really have feelings for watching the cow building, why do you leave with 30% of the salary?" Now that I'm coming back to the door, I'm not afraid that Lu Lao Liu knows? ”
A cook said, "Aren't you the opposite?" ”
"Who said it was the other person who couldn't exchange messages?" Lu Yuan was furious, rushed in from outside the house, kicked the three cooks and said, "Get out!" Get out now, Wangyuanlou doesn't want you, don't want this month's salary. ”
Lu Wei smiled and said: "Uncle clan, this is yours, isn't it, you drove people away, not to covet people's wages for half a month, right?" ”
Lu Yuan's old face flushed and said, "Of course not." ”
"Then pay them back." Lu Wei's face turned cold: "I don't like people who eat inside and outside, and I hate the owner who deducts the wages of the guys for some reason." ”
Lu Yuan was beaten twice, and when he saw Lu Wei's expression, he couldn't help but take a step back, and said to the three cooks: "Hurry up, go to the account room and settle the salary." ”
The three cooks repented of their intestines, received their wages, and scolded Lu Yuan to the point of blood, saying that if they were fooled, they would have no livelihood.
Seeing that the wages offered by Niu Lou are three times that of other restaurants, as soon as the news spreads, not to mention the chefs of the other restaurants in Jinmingchi, even the chefs in the city rushed to apply.
Each chef cooks a specialty dish, Geng Zhilian enjoyed eating, and Lu Wei reminded him: "Don't forget that you are picking people." ”
"It's still the restaurant for me." Geng Zhimei smiled and picked a few people, Lu Wei also felt that the dishes made by these people were good, and they were the best among the applicants. These people were left behind and became cooks in the cow building.
Lu Yuan saw that it was lively here, but after a few days of hard work, the cooks and guys were all alive, and there were still people who went here to lead people, and they were almost so angry that they vomited blood, if they went on like this, they didn't have to go to the Dragon Boat Festival, and they would be famous for their Jinmingchi when they saw the cow tower, and he would go to the front to intercept people in the future, is it still useful?
Looking at the changes in the Niu Tower, Lu An saw it in his eyes, was happy in his heart, and had a smile on his face all day long.
The beggars agitated the three-inch tongue, and blew the sky-high steamed buns of the cow building to the sky, some said that it was comparable to the elixir, and that eating it could make them immortal, and some said that the official family had to queue up if they wanted to eat, as for the signature dish that Geng Zhi quickly set, it was more acceptable compared with the sky-high steamed buns.
Many people want to see what this ridiculously expensive steamed bun looks like, and by the way, try the signature dish of the cow building, so all the tourists who go to Jinming Pond to play, and want to find a place to rest and eat, are led by the beggars to see the cow building.
Seeing that the cow building was full, it was late, and I had to line up, there was a stool at the door, and the beggar who led the team gave a small card, and then left. The small sign has a number written on it, which is not only the voucher for the diners to dine, but also the voucher for the beggars to receive the copper plate.
Lu Yuan tragically found that there were people in front of the Niulou, but he couldn't intercept people, not to mention that as soon as he approached, a guy wearing a brand-new blue cloth shirt and a long towel on his shoulder came over, but he didn't pay attention to the guy and approached the diners, and people didn't go with him, and he was willing to wait at the door of the Niulou.
These people are stupid, and stupidity is contagious. He cursed indignantly, looking at the empty Wangyuan Tower, which seemed to be full of visitors, and felt more and more that the guys were an eyesore, and scolded hatefully: "You vampires. "He doesn't have to work, but he gets paid.
The mother-in-law said: "It's better to hype up the game between the two families." ”
"Aren't you messy enough?" Lu Yuan said irritably: "I'm afraid that before the Dragon Boat Festival, we will have to close the door, what will it be compared to?" Besides, three of the five cooks are gone, how can they compare? ”
"Aren't there pillars? We were going to let the pillar go. The mother-in-law didn't care, and said: "Focus on publicizing that he is a fool, do you think, what will a fool do?" ”
"Now they have cooks." This is what Lu Yuan is most worried about, the trend of advantages and disadvantages is reversed, and he can't be completely crushed.
"So what? Didn't the deed say that the fool would compete on his own? ”
Lu Yuan hurriedly took out the deed to find the literate patriarch to see, it was indeed written in black and white, so he was relieved. What's the use of seeing more cooks in the cow building, only fools can end up.
The sky-high steamed buns are passed on by word of mouth, and it is a bit of an exaggeration to say that they are thousands of miles a day, but it is true that in the past two or three days, it has spread all over Jinmingchi, and even some guests have come out to play, so they inquired to see where the cow tower is, and wanted to see what the sky-high steamed buns look like.
There are many diners, and most of them come for the sky-high price of steamed buns, and some smart people have an idea, so a few or more than a dozen people can pool their money to buy a try, and they can also boast to relatives and friends that they have eaten such expensive steamed buns.
When it became a common practice to buy sky-high steamed buns in partnership, late diners were told that Kanniulou only sold ten steamed buns a day, and many people did not sell them.
"Isn't it a fool to have money and not make money?"
"Well, I'll get up early tomorrow and run again. Brother Zhang, Brother Li, let's leave at the hour, shall we? ”
"What's there to get up early in the morning to open your eyes?"
……
Diners ordered their signature dishes and agreed to come early tomorrow.
I have to say that Geng Zhi is very talented in eating, and the signature dishes he selected are extremely popular, and after more diners use them, they are even more looking forward to the sky-high steamed buns: "Ordinary dishes are so delicious, and the sky-high steamed buns are naturally needless to say." ”
