Chapter 38: The Legend of the First Emperor's Year
Thanks to the rewards of the regional overlord brothers, as well as the continuous support of the 22 brothers of Hong Qigong, I am very moved to hit the street!
Zhang Ji Restaurant has also been open in Jiaozhen for five or six years, and the business is dying, barely maintaining it every month, and now the people everywhere are having a hard time, and he is quite satisfied to make money to make a living. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since the news of the transfer of the Drunken Immortal Mansion a few days ago, He Qi didn't care too much about it, after all, Jiaozhen is in this situation, and if anyone else comes, I'm afraid there will be no way to bring the dead back to life.
But today, the guy brought back Zhang Zuixianlou from outside, what is the name of the "takeaway order", which surprised him, and he took the menu and checked it over and over again, and the names of the dishes were all things he had never heard of.
The most critical price, what kind of "rice bowl" is simply cheap and crazy, three copper coins even the food arrives, and the also delivers the food to the door.
He Qi's brother-in-law Wang Jian usually helps in the store, and he took the takeaway order back, seeing his brother-in-law's blushing face, he asked tentatively: "Brother-in-law, does it have an impact on our restaurant?" ”
"Does it have an impact? It had a big impact."
He Qi shook the menu in his hand and said angrily: "There are three or four restaurants in Jiaozhen, there has never been such a low price, Zuixianlou continues like this, I'm afraid it won't be long before we go out of business, do you say it has any impact?" ”
Looking at the menu in his hand, He Qi was puzzled, there are so many portions of a dish, labor, and store rent all need silver, the price of this drunken fairy building dish is so low, is there really a fool who loses money and makes money?
"What then?"
He Qi frowned and said, "Who took over the Drunken Immortal Tower, did you find out?" ”
Could it be that the landlord of the land from other places would rather lose his capital for a period of time in order to squeeze down other restaurants in the town? This is what He Qi is most worried about.
"Brother-in-law, you may not believe it when you say it, but the next person in the Drunken Immortal Building is actually a group of beggars." Speaking of this time, Wang Jian felt ridiculous, there were all kinds of strange things in these years, and if you don't die at the age of a hundred, you can hear strange stories.
"Beggars? What are you kidding, this is something that a beggar can make and come up with? ”
He Qi said angrily: "You often boast about yourself and inquire, and you can't even do such a trivial thing." ”
Wang Jian said aggrievedly: "It's true, I asked Xiaosi, a former drunken immortal building guy, and he said that he was a little beggar." ”
He Qi was about to scold, but suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "Is it from the beggar?" ”
Wang Jian shook his head and said: "I don't know, Xiao Si only said that many people had talked about Drunken Immortal Building before, and they were scared away by Zhang Zhang's price, and this time I don't know what the little beggar said, Zhang Zhan's old guy actually put out forty yuan." ”
"That's it"
He Qi lowered his arms decadently and muttered in his mouth.
"Boss He"
Wang Jian was about to ask, but was interrupted by someone who came in from outside the door.
"Shopkeeper Li, how come you have time to come to the shop today." He Qi smiled and got up to greet him.
Tan Hong, the owner of the Xingwang Restaurant in the south of the town, was in his fifties, walked over with a fat body, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I have something to discuss with Boss He." ”
He Qi invited him into the box, ordered Wang Jian to serve tea, and after sitting down, asked, "What's the matter with my brother?" ”
Tan Hong took out the chapter paper from his arms and handed it to He Qi, saying, "Boss He, you should have heard that Zhang Zhan's Drunken Immortal Building has been replaced, this is the good thing that the new shopkeeper did." ”
He Qi didn't answer, glanced at it, put the takeaway order in his hand on the table, and said with a smile: "I already know, don't I worry about this matter." ”
"Hmph, that new shopkeeper is just nonsense, look at it, take a good look, is the price of the dish so ordered?"
Tan Hong said more and more angry, "This is destroying the market, hurting people, the business of Jiaozhen Restaurant is already sluggish, everyone is gritting their teeth and holding on, this is good, he does this, it is simply not giving us a way to live." ”
"Well, who's to say it's not"
He Qi shook his head and said, "But what can we do?" ”
"I mean, let's go and unite with the other two restaurants and go to Zuixianlou together to put pressure on him to stop this kind of practice that harms others and is not beneficial to himself."
"It doesn't have to be self-interested." He Qidao.
Tan Hong said disdainfully: "With such a low price, do you think you can make money?" ”
"Brother, you can see clearly, you and I don't know what rice is poured, it may be difficult to say that the cost is low, otherwise his store is still rented from Lao Zhang, and a few people can afford to lose it in the long run."
"No way, we are all restaurants, don't we know the cost of the food? In my opinion, that guy is a-stirring stick. ”
Tan Hong said: "Brother He, if we have to work together, it is a matter of life and death for the restaurant." ”
He Qi smiled bitterly: "Don't hide it from my brother, I was also very angry when I first learned about it, but do you know who is the one who undertakes the Drunken Immortal Building?" ”
"No one can mess around, even the brother-in-law of the county lord can't cut off our way of life."
Wang Jian, who had just pushed the door and came in for tea, heard the three words of his brother-in-law, looked at Tan Hong suspiciously, and muttered in his heart that he hadn't offended this old guy, why did he give me eye medicine behind his back.
"I don't know if my brother has heard of it?" He Qi laughed.
Tan Hong was stunned, the name is so familiar, by the way, in the past few days, the streets and alleys have been talking about the Qinglong Gang being beaten by some beggars, and I don't understand what He Qi is doing when he suddenly mentions this.
"The Drunken Immortal Building was taken by the beggars," He Qi didn't sell it.
"Well, this..."
Tan Hong wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say, like a rooster pinched by someone's throat.
"Alas, you now understand why I have scruples, can I beat the Qinglong Gang and dare not retaliate, and I can come out of the county government completely, can it be a simple role?"
Hanging his head, Tan Hong smiled bitterly: "What should I do, are you just waiting to be crushed?" ”
He Qi pondered for a moment and said, "I think so, when the Drunken Immortal Building opened, we went to congratulate and talk to the boss by the way, what do you think?" ”
"Okay, it seems that this can only be the case," Tan Hong said helplessly.
Since the launch of the menu, the low price and novel name of the dish have suddenly become the focus of discussion in Jiaozhen.
All kinds of fried shredded pork slices, the price is between three to five copper coins, the most happy is the shop owners, usually the two of them are busy and don't even have time to cook, and they are reluctant to spend money on the restaurant, and now the price of the dishes in the drunken fairy building really hit their hearts.
Of course, there are good dishes, and there are also high-end dishes in the drunken fairy building, which are all eaten in the store, otherwise you can't make a lot of money just by relying on these fast food.
The little stammer, who had just come back from Jiaozhen, found Han Hao and said excitedly: "Brother Hao, now all the discussion in the town is that we are drunk... Drunken Immortal Building, many people say that when it opens, you must taste what a bowl of incense is in the farmhouse. ”
Han Hao put down the bamboo slip in his hand and nodded, everything was expected, the last thing human beings lacked was curiosity.
Seeing Lin Geng coming in, Han Hao asked, "Peach Blossom Town, Lianping Town, has the news gotten out?" ”
"I'll take a sip of tea first"
Lin Gengniu took a big sip of tea and said with a smile: "You don't worry about my business, the news has all spread out, the movement is no smaller than Jiaozhen, and it is estimated that it will be full when it opens tomorrow." ”
"Well, everyone has worked hard, go back today and rest early, tomorrow will be very tired."
Wei Li gave Han Hao a blank look when he left, which made him a little inexplicable, where did he provoke that girl.
"Engong, the store is all cleaned up."
Shi Jie wiped his sweat and walked over to Han Hao, his eyes inadvertently seeing the bamboo slips on the table.
"Sit down"
Han Hao said: "Just call me Han Hao Han Hao in the future." ”
Shi Jie hurriedly waved his hand and said: "That's not good, how can you call the benefactor by his name, I will follow everyone to call Brother Hao in the future." ”
Such a great favor, if he dares to call him by his name, if he doesn't say anything else, even the old lady will smash him to death with a cane, and if he is a person who has read the books of sages, at least the etiquette, righteousness and shame must be observed.
Han Hao didn't bother to dwell on this, and said, "Whatever you want, but there's one thing I'm quite curious about." ”
"What?"
Han Hao whispered: "It's you, a scholar, how can you practice your speed so fast?" ”
"Huh"
Shi Jie's face turned red instantly, he twisted for a long time, and whispered: "I am also forced by life, every day I will take advantage of no one, throw the soap horn into the water, and then practice using two fingers to clamp it, practice makes perfect." ”
The three hands are really handed down from ancient times, and this method Han Hao thought that it was a skill practiced by thieves in later generations, but who knew that it was now available.
Han Hao suddenly noticed that Shi Jie's gaze was always aimed at the bamboo slips on the table, intentionally or unintentionally, and then asked, "Do you know the words on it?" ”
Shi Jie nodded and said, "Yes, what you recorded above should be the biography left by Xu Fu of the Qin State." ”
"What, that Xu Fu who is looking for the elixir of immortality for the First Emperor?"
Han Hao shouted.
