"Where's Master Li?" Zhao Gu asked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Bingtang raised his head with the bowl and replied, "Master Li just made these three dishes for us, and now he should be brushing the pot in the kitchen, and he will come out to eat in a while." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Gu nodded and sat down on another empty stool at the dinner table.

This Master Li is the chef found by Zhao Gu, he also opened a restaurant before, but because he is wooden by nature and unsociable, the restaurant closed down not long after.

After Zhao Gu found him through Li Danran, he happily agreed to come to Zhao Gu's side to help, and Zhao Gu also took a fancy to his down-to-earth character, so without saying a word, he taught him some cooking skills and dishes in later generations.

Facts have proved that Chef Li is really a trustworthy person, even though he has been busy for so long in the morning, he is still busy in the back kitchen, which can be described as hard work.

Zhao Gu thought about whether he should find someone to help Master Li, otherwise he would always be as busy as in the morning, and even if Master Li was beaten with iron, he was afraid that he would not be able to stand it.

And it is indeed not easy for rock candy to run the hall alone, and to wash the dishes and dishes by the way, it seems that she has to find someone to help her share it.

After Master Li finished the kitchen, he also came out to eat, and when he saw Zhao Gu, he just nodded in a wooden manner, and then took care of his own meal and ate it.

Zhao Gu didn't mind Master Li's attitude, on the contrary, he admired him very much, so he told him his thoughts.

Master Li thought about it for a moment and nodded: "It's time to find someone to help, so that the guests don't have to wait for a long time, and you can watch the shopkeeper." ”

"Okay."

Zhao Gu got up and left the restaurant, and was about to go outside to see if he could find a suitable guy, not wanting to bump into a caravan head-on.

"Is that you?" A familiar female voice came from the caravan and said in surprise.

Zhao Gu looked up and saw that this caravan Hao Ran was the caravan he was hiding when he escorted Su Xiaocheng out of the city last time, and the woman who spoke in front of him was also the masked woman that day.

"What a coincidence." Zhao Gu said with a smile.

The masked woman chuckled: "Last time you sneaked into my carriage to transport goods, didn't you all go out of the city?" Why do you dare to wander around the city now? ”

"Girl, don't blame, I can't say much about the twists and turns in this, I can only tell the girl that I am not a lawbreaker, and now I am free." Zhao Gu said with a smile.

"Really? That's interesting. The masked woman didn't ask much, but looked at him with interest, hugged her fists at him, and then left with the convoy.

Zhao Gu continued to wander the streets, enjoying this rare leisure, and by the way, he recruited another partner for his restaurant.

Approaching night, Zhao Gu found two capable men again through Yaxing and brought them into Baiwei Restaurant.

Both of these guys were fifteen or sixteen years old, and their families were not very well-off, so they came out early to work to help their parents share.

It is this point that Zhao Gu values for them, and people with filial piety will not be bad.

At this time, it was time for dinner again, and the Baiwei restaurant was lively again, and there were more people eating than at noon, Zhao Gu hurriedly asked two guys to come forward to help, one helped Master Li cut vegetables and side dishes, and the other helped rock candy brush the plates.

As for the six-year-old Sydney little sister, she sat bored behind the counter, showing a sweet smile every time someone came to check out, and then boredly tugging around her pigtails.

In fact, six-year-old Sydney is the cashier of the restaurant arranged by Zhao Gu, and her job is to wait for a person to check out, and then return with a sweet smile.

Zhao Gu is not worried at all that someone will take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, after all, this is not a descendant, there are no shrewd scams here, there are no old men and old ladies who fall to the ground and touch porcelain, there is no habit of guarding against each other, and people are very simple.

He doesn't think that anyone will come here to eat and drink for nothing and not give money, or only give a part of the money, this is his trust in this era.

Picking up Xiao Sydney, Zhao Gu put her on his lap and looked at the big jar that collected money.

At a cursory glance, Zhao Gu was shocked, he couldn't have imagined that there was already so much money in it.

Zhao Gu estimates that there are no less than 30,000 copper coins in it!

30,000 copper coins, converted into 30,000 yuan, that is, equivalent to 30,000 yuan in later generations, what does this mean?

Doesn't it mean that in this day alone, Baiwei Restaurant has sold 2,000 vegetarian dishes? Or maybe it's 600 meat dishes?

Zhao Gu had estimated the output value of the restaurant, but he thought about it, but he never thought that he could make so much money.

He invested in this store and spent a total of more than 500 yuan, of which 500 yuan was used to buy this shop, that is, 500,000 yuan in later generations, and the rest of the tables, chairs and benches were shared by dozens of yuan.

But in just one day, he earned back thirty yuan, doesn't this mean that it only takes him less than twenty days to get the capital back?

In this way, his dream of making a fortune will soon come true.

I don't know how Lord Cheshire and Su Xiaocheng will react after learning the news.

Just as he was thinking, a group of people entered the shop.

"Is that you?"

A familiar female voice sounded in his ears, Zhao Gu smiled, looked up, and sure enough, it was the masked woman he met during the day, so he said, "Girl, we are really fateful, we can meet this?" ”

The masked woman laughed: "It's not fate, but my ready-to-wear shop is next door to this restaurant." ”

The corners of Zhao Gu's mouth twitched: "If I say that this restaurant is opened by me, what do you think, girl?" ”

The masked woman was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think of something, her face suddenly turned cold, and she left the Baiwei Restaurant with a group of people behind her without a sound.

"What's wrong with her?" Zhao Gu was about to invite the masked woman to dinner to thank her for saving her life, but he didn't want her to leave directly, so he couldn't help but be very puzzled.

Zhao Gu was about to go to her shop to ask, when a team of soldiers and horses walked into the Baiwei restaurant.

A general in his thirties walked out of this team, came straight to Zhao Gu, hugged his fists and said: "Join the army, the general has already beaten the drum and beat the general, please follow us into the camp quickly." ”

"Joining the army? Entering the camp? Zhao Gu was stunned and asked, "Are you looking for the wrong person?" When did I become your soldier? ”

The general asked, "Are you called Zhao Gu?" Zhuozhou people's clan? ”

Zhao Gu was shocked, he didn't expect this person to know his identity, but after thinking about it, he calmed down.

"Who is your general?" Zhao Gu asked.

"Cao Wei." The general still said with a sigh of regret.

Cao Wei?

Zhao Gu frowned, wasn't this the young general who led his troops to surround him that night? Listening to Su Xiaocheng, he is the son of the Duke of Lu and one of the best young talents in Kaifeng City.

But what did he do with himself? And who is operating in the shadows to make himself his army?
