Yonghefang is the most prosperous area of Yanshi County, and it is on a par with Yongpingfang, where the county government is located. The flower hall and the Ruyi gambling house, which are the leaders of the Qinglou gambling house, are all located here. There are countless merchants coming and going here, and more than half of the large restaurants in Yanshi County are concentrated here, which is the reason why Yang Ping'an chose here.

I have to admit that Yang Ping'an's coarse cloth short brown and the brown cloth belt around his waist are very unpleasant, and such a dress cannot be put on the stage in Yonghefang. When he was a bastard with the Four Tigers, he had a decent outfit, and Dong'er had already washed and dried him, but it was not suitable to wear it recently.

"Just you? Just this weird thing? Dare to come here to deceive and talk about things! ”

"Get out of here, are you here!"

"Where did you come from, it's called Hanako, it's dirty on the ground, and it's not crippled to see you!"

"Get out! Xiu Cai'an, put the tricks on the spot, don't cause trouble for you Yanshi and the four dogs, be careful to fight the four of you together! ”

"Bah, there is a time when you cry and beg Lao Tzu!" Being pushed out of the tavern, Yang Ping'an staggered and stood firm, and took a sip of hatred.

He came to sell tofu, door-to-door sales. It's a pity that the work in the store didn't let him finish his words at all, and he didn't believe him. Seeing that it was approaching noon, it was the stage of the major restaurants to serve customers, how could anyone bother with him?

Everything is difficult at the beginning, Yang Ping'an knows this very well, so he is not discouraged, and after hitting a wall one after another, he walked to a restaurant called "Zuixiao Pavilion".

"Guest officer eat a little ......" Xiao Er's voice stopped abruptly, and the enthusiasm on his face disappeared in an instant, "Where did you come from the poor sour, you can know that a plate of dishes is top of your clothes!" ”

With the experience of being rejected many times, Yang Ping'an didn't pay attention to Xiao Er, walked straight to the lobby, and shouted: "The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper is here?" I'll give you a good deal for nothing, don't come out quickly! ”

"Where did you come from, dare to go wild in the Drunken Sky Pavilion, don't get out quickly!" Yang Ping'an's actions aroused the dissatisfaction of several juniors, who surrounded him and wanted to push him out of the door.

Yang Ping'an hurriedly protected the flat burden and shouted: "Stop!" If you break my good baby, your whole family can't afford to lose it if you sell it! ”

"Yo he, I'm here to find fault for a long time!"

"If I don't teach you a good lesson today, I really think Zuixiao Pavilion is easy to bully!"

A few juniors scolded and scolded, rolled up their sleeves and were about to make a move, when a stern voice suddenly came from behind them: "Stop!" Why are you not working here? I didn't see that there were still guests, what kind of noisy and noisy thing was it? Don't go out to solicit guests yet! If you still lose to the natural residence today, your salary for this month will be deducted! ”

The one who spoke was a middle-aged man, with a big belly and a natural smiling face, even if he was angry now, he also gave people a smiling appearance, as if he was the reincarnation of Maitreya who was the shopkeeper of Drunken Xiao Pavilion.

"The shopkeeper, it's not the little ones who are lazy, it's Xiucai An's troublemaker!" Xiao Er, who was the first to speak, said.

Yang Ping'an raised his eyebrows: It turns out that you kid knows me! It's okay, I guess I was bullied by Xiucai'an before, so I won't worry about you first.

"This is the shopkeeper, in Xia Yang Ping'an, another big good deal for you Zuixiao Pavilion, I don't know if the shopkeeper dares to ask for it?"

Shopkeeper Lu frowned: "Xiu Cai'an, what are you doing here?" Isn't it enough to be beaten in the Ruyi Gambling House a few days ago? ”

I don't know if you don't hit someone in the face! What's more, it was Xiu Cai'an who was beaten, what do you have to do with me!

Yang Ping'an put away his smile and said proudly: "Listening to what the shopkeeper said just now, could it be that the Drunken Xiao Pavilion and the Natural Residence can't compete against each other?" ”

The natural residence is the one that Yang Ping'an has been to before, just opposite the Zuixiao Pavilion, and the attitude is the worst.

The shopkeeper Lu didn't want to cause trouble, so he delayed the business of his restaurant, forced his anger, and said, "What! ”

"Listen to me, it seems that you have been losing to the natural dwelling?"

"What do you have to do with it!"

"Humph!" Yang Ping'an sneered, turned around in two steps, sat on a table in the lobby, and said proudly: "If I have a way to make you win the natural residence in the Drunken Xiao Pavilion, what will you do?" ”

"Just you?" Shopkeeper Lu narrowed his eyes, he felt that today's Xiucai'an had changed a lot from the past.

"Exactly!"

"Why should I believe you?"

"Anyway, you're used to losing, are you afraid of gambling again?"

Yang Ping'an's arrogant attitude angered the surrounding Xiao Er, and they were about to speak, but they were stopped by the shopkeeper Lu: "Why do you want to help me?" ”

Jumping off the table, Yang Ping'an came to the shopkeeper Lu: "Because I am also very unhappy with the natural residence!" ”

Shopkeeper Lu squinted his eyes again, and on his fat face, it was difficult to tell whether his little eyes were completely closed. After a moment, he opened his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "What is your plan?" The next three indiscriminate tricks are exempt! ”

"Go on the road!" Yang Ping'an came to the flat dan money and lifted the white cloth on the frame, "Just rely on this thing!" ”

At the beginning of noon, Yonghefang becomes more lively. There is an endless stream of people coming and going in front of the taverns, and the sound of shouting and drinking is endless. This is one of the two best times of the day when restaurants do business, and all the major restaurants are working hard to attract customers.

The concentration of major restaurants produces an agglomeration effect, which can expand the scale of production and improve the level of consumption, but then the competition is fierce and cruel.

The large-scale shops that can gain a foothold in Yonghefang all have backgrounds, and major restaurants are no exception. Therefore, obscene methods such as dead rats and stinky flies are not suitable for use, and can only rely on real materials to win more customers.

Located in the center of Yonghefang, Zuixiao Pavilion has an excellent location and was originally the best restaurant in Yonghefang. However, two years ago, a natural residence was opened opposite, and the rising momentum was rapid, stealing a lot of business from Zuixiao Pavilion. Up to now, it has developed to the point of openly arguing with Zuixiao Pavilion.

Of course, the competitive methods of the two will certainly not be as clean as they seem. According to incomplete statistics, this year, the total number of injuries between the two guys was 88 and 89 respectively, with an average of 5.6 injuries per person, with two chefs having the most injuries.

In the end, neither of them could afford the endless injuries of the staff in the store, and finally agreed to compete with each other through ten days of sales. The loser needs to close the business and quit Yonghe Fang.

After three days of comparison, Zuixiao Pavilion lost for three days, if it weren't for the fact that the shopkeeper Lu was born to smile on Miller's face, I am afraid that he would have squeezed out the water gloomily.

"Shopkeeper, Xiu Cai'an is a scoundrel, do you believe him? What kind of bean, bean? ”

Watching Yang Ping'an swagger into the back kitchen, the shopkeeper Lu had a heavy expression: "Don't talk nonsense, according to what he said, go out to solicit customers!" ”

Yang Ping'an's idea is worthless in the future. It is nothing more than the launch of three new dishes by Zuixiao Pavilion, during the promotion period, where the consumption amount exceeds three dollars of silver, you can get a free new dish if you spend one more penny; Spend more than five dollars of silver, add a penny, two new dishes; More than one or two, no need to add money, all three are given away for free.

But in the Tang Dynasty, the idea was relatively new.

Seeing the little two shouting loudly at the door, the shopkeeper Lu didn't know how to do it. If it weren't for the fact that this time it was a matter of the survival of Zuixiao Pavilion and his net worth and surname, he would not have put his bet on Xiu Cai'an, a tasteless person.

The competition between Drunken Sky Pavilion and Natural Residence, he has already reported to the owner, and the owner also knows about the bet between the two families. I thought that the owner would take action to solve the natural residence, but I didn't know that the owner didn't care, and only said that trusting him would win, and believed that he would live and die with Zuixiao Pavilion.

This scared the shopkeeper Lu a lot. Privately, the trustee inquired, and learned that the natural residence is not small behind the scenes, and the owner has been busy with other things recently, which completely made him stop asking for help.

No, I'll have to check it out! It was a matter of family and surname, and the shopkeeper Lu couldn't rest assured, so he hurried to the back kitchen after explaining two sentences, and found that Yang Ping'an was confronting the chef.

Yang Ping'an held the flat shoulder, the chef had a kitchen knife in one hand and a spoon in the other, and the two of them crossed their eyebrows and faced each other coldly, posing in a cool pose.

"What's going on?"

From the mouths of others, the shopkeeper Lu finally learned that the chef thought that Yang Ping'an was the new chef invited by the shopkeeper Lu, and in order to defend his stove, he resolutely did not allow Yang Ping'an to touch the spatula.

"I only cook three dishes, you make the rest of the dishes, I'm not here to steal your job!"

Nima, holding a broken bowl, is also regarded as a golden rice bowl!

Under the mediation and assurance of the shopkeeper Lu, the chef finally gave up the "position", but the two of them asked Yang Ping'an to try three dishes in the name of protecting the signboard of Zuixiao Pavilion, and after they tasted the taste, they made a decision.

Yang Ping'an didn't say much, asked people to prepare side dishes, asked for various seasonings, and made three tofu dishes quickly.

The first course, home-style tofu.

The second course, mapo tofu.

The third course, four treasures of tofu.

When the third dish came out of the pot, he found that the shopkeeper Lu, the chef and others were surrounding the two dishes, and they didn't move their chopsticks. "Taste it! Do you think I'm sent by Natural Residence and drugged tofu? ”

"Can you eat this?" Shopkeeper Lu looked at the chef very cautiously.

The chef looked at the dishes, smelled the fragrance, and after thinking for a long time, he pointed to Yang Ping'an: "You eat first." ”

This is really nothing in the world, and mediocre people disturb themselves! Yang Ping'an ran all morning, his stomach was empty, and he didn't shirk and took the chopsticks to eat.

In ancient times, the dish was called real green and environmentally friendly, no gutter oil, no clenbuterol, no poisonous rice, no contraceptive fish, no ...... In short, the dish is delicious!

Seeing the sweetness he ate, Shopkeeper Lu finally dispelled his worries, picked up a piece of home-cooked tofu, and tasted it carefully. The others had already been aroused by the aroma, and when they saw this, they immediately stretched out their chopsticks and grabbed to eat.

Shopkeeper Lu is different from them, he is in the product, because it is a matter of life and death for him. Well, this taste, the entrance is slightly spicy, salty, and fresh, and the aftertaste is slightly sweet, and it tastes crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I was about to try mapo tofu again, when I suddenly felt a tightness in my thighs, and my pants were almost ripped off.

"Shopkeeper, I've been with you for five or six years, I've broken my hand, I've been lame, and I've had no less than a dozen injuries on my body alone, so you can't quit me!" The chef, who had tasted three dishes, hugged the thigh of the shopkeeper Lu and kept begging.

I'm rubbing, it's so dangerous to be a cook these days! "Don't cry, even if you are drunk in the Xiao Pavilion and invite you to bring a sedan chair to invite, I won't come here to be a cook!"

As he was talking, a little two lifted the curtain and came in: "Shopkeeper, the guest is here, he is an old customer, and he ordered more than one or two dishes!" ”
