246 Afflicted pond fish
More than a dozen ghost bosses poured into the hotel at once, filling the lobby to the brim. But they were so tall that they had to keep their heads down when they came in, and some of them roared when their heads hit the beams. Originally, there were already dozens of ghost customers in the store, but now when I saw this posture, I didn't need to rush, so I walked away in a panic first.
Uncle Teng asked the guys to hurry over and take a seat, and arranged for the ghost leaders to sit at a table, but fortunately, there were enough tables in the store to sit down. But as soon as the table inside was set up, Skeletron outside was angry!
"Old! Board! ”
"Me! Sit! Which! Village? ”
"Ouch, I'm sorry! Sorry! Don't be angry! Teng Shuli hurriedly ran out to apologize, and then asked cautiously, "Huh...... Can a guest sit on our courtyard wall? Alas, we are so small that only the courtyard in the middle can accommodate you......"
"Hmm...... Yes! Let's do it! ”
Skeletron was helpless, so he stepped into the courtyard between the lobby and the kitchen, and sat on the courtyard wall. The courtyard wall is made of a single boulder, so you don't have to worry about it collapsing under its weight. Teng Shuli asked a few ghost guys to tear down the guardrail behind the second floor, and prepared to use the balcony as a cooking table.
Stabilize these "uncles" for the time being, and the rest is the big project that really tests us!
We cooks stood on the street, staring at the ghost shark in amazement, how could such a big fish be dragged into the kitchen?
It was the head chef Yu Lazi who immediately decided: "You don't have to go into the kitchen, we will kill fish on the street!" ”
At the sound of the order, five cooks and four nurses went into battle!
We first found a big saw, sawed the fish into several pieces horizontally, and the fish head was directly lifted into the soup first, and the rest of the fish body continued to cut. The scales were so hard that they couldn't be scraped off at all, so they had to peel off the skin with a sharp knife. The fish was tough, and the kitchen knife didn't work, so I simply took the long knife worn by the nurses and cut it. The rest of the fish skeleton could not be wasted, so it was cut with an axe and used to make soup.
It took us half an hour to kill the fish, and in the end all that was left was a fin, a tail, and a bunch of internal organs, and there was a river of blood flowing down the street!
Such a brutal way of killing fish also made the whole street extremely smelly and filthy. Pedestrians can no longer pass in front of the Longevity Hotel, and nearby shops have also fallen into bad luck, greatly affecting business. But in the face of the "plague god" of Skeletron, everyone only dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and had no choice but to come out and take the initiative to help wash the streets.
After killing the fish, the kitchen continued to be busy. Large cauldrons were set up on several stoves to boil fish soup. If the stove is not enough, I immediately find stone bricks to build it, and if the pot is not enough, I will use a large pot to cook.
The fish head soup is the most delicious to boil, and the head of the ghost shark is so large that it can only be cooked in the largest special cauldron in the longevity restaurant. That pot is Teng Shuli's proud work, it was specially customized to host a big banquet before, with a diameter of one zhang and six feet, as big as a truck's dump!
Such a big pot can't fit in the kitchen. However, Yu Lazi had already experienced, so he directly drained the water from the small pool in the backyard, put the pot on top, and piled the firewood under it. It was originally a small pond for fish farming, but at this time it was requisitioned into a large stove for cooking soup.
Originally, there were a few luminite fish in the pond, which could emit glowing green light in the dark, which was very beautiful. The fish was raised by Tian Laolu for five years, and it was his "heart meat", but at this time, he could only temporarily succumb to a water tank.
Skeletron said that he wanted to eat hot and sour fish soup, and the spicier the better, so this pot of fish soup should not be neglected. Under Yu Lazi's personal control, the ghost cooks threw large bundles of sauerkraut into it, threw bunches of dried chili peppers into it, and sprinkled salt one by one. The pot is too big, and the spoon and shovel are not long enough, so stir with a shovel that shovels the soil.
When it came to the part of injecting yin power to cook ghost meals, five chefs had to work together, working desperately around the cauldron, and sending yin power into the pot as if they didn't need money. Whenever the strength is exhausted, there is a ghost kitchen behind him who immediately hands over two Yin Yuan, which can be grabbed in his hand to quickly replenish the Yin power, and then continue to work.
There is a lot of fish soup, and this pot of fish head soup boiled for a whole hour before it was cooked. Then, the boiled fish soup was brought to the table pot by pot, with each ghost leader eating his own pot and Skeletron's to the second-floor balcony.
You have to have chopsticks to eat fish, right? It was still Wei Dahu who was clever and directly split a ladder and used those two long bamboo poles to use as chopsticks for the Skeleton King. As for the spoon, there is no way! I can only ask it to just pick up the pot and drink the soup!
The fish soup is ready, and the gangsters of Skull Mountain will start together and feast on it!
Not only did they eat the fish cleanly, but they finally drank all the soup in the pot, and there was not a drop left!
At this time, several of our chefs were already busy, so they all gathered around Teng Shuli. Seeing that the big ghosts in Skull Mountain were eating very happily, everyone's mood relaxed a little, and they finally coped with it.
Then, someone began to whisper: "Shopkeeper, will they give money after eating?" ”
"I don't know!" Uncle Teng shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "It's the leader of Skull Mountain, it wants to eat the overlord meal, and I don't dare to stop it!" What do you say, big tiger? ”
When Wei Dahu heard the boss suddenly ask him this, he quickly shook his head like a rattle. He is usually calm and brave, but now he is wilting.
"Isn't that going to be a big loss today?" Tian Laolu, who was behind the counter, also interjected and asked, "There is no income from this meal at noon, and it would be good if today's turnover could be at most half of the usual!" ”
"Hmph, don't think about it! Half of it? Yu Lazi snorted, "The side dishes and seasonings in the kitchen have almost all been used up!" After serving them at noon, they can only close their doors in the afternoon! ”
"Alas, what a busy day!" Several of us chefs sighed together.
"Don't worry! Don't worry! The shopkeeper Teng Shuli was not in a hurry at this time, and whispered: "I have already asked people to put away the fins and fish maws of that ghost head shark, which are all good things!" Each of them is a top-notch ingredient that can be found but not sought, and it will be used when holding a big banquet and cooking big dishes in the future! Hehe, even if you can't get the money for food, these two things are enough to cover the loss! ”
"It's still the shopkeeper's unique vision! Plan ahead! When everyone heard this, they immediately rejoiced again, and patted the boss's ass one after another.
Uncle Teng was very useful, and simply promised us some benefits: "Rest assured, as long as I can send these guests away smoothly, I will definitely not treat you badly!" ”
"Good, good! Thank you, shopkeeper! Thank you, shopkeeper! ”
Skeletron finally finished the fish soup and put the cauldron down (in fact, it was only a large iron bowl in his hand). It wiped its mouth with a satisfied look, then burped again, blowing away all the thatch on the roof.
At this time, Teng Shuli hurriedly stepped forward to smile and asked, "Are the guests satisfied with their food?" ”
"Hmm!"
Skeletron was in a good mood, and his words were much softer, and he was no longer so stiff and dragged his voice word by word.
"You're a good cook! I'm satisfied! ”
"It's good that the guests are satisfied! It's good to be satisfied! Hey! ”
"Next time, I'll catch the ghost shark again, and I'll come to your house to eat!"
"Welcome, welcome! Welcome back to Ha! ”
Teng Shuli was full of smiles, but it was estimated that he was still worried in his heart, and he had to ask boldly: "Hehe, guest, that ...... I don't know if it's convenient to put that ...... now Settle the bill? ”
"Hmmm......"
Skeletron grabbed the straw on the roof as a paper towel and wiped his mouth, picked his teeth with chopsticks (bamboo poles), and then said slowly: "How much?" ”
Uncle Teng didn't expect the other party to speak so well, but hesitated at this time, and then turned his head to look at Tian Laolu.
Tian Laolu hurriedly stretched out his hand and compared him with an eight, which means: "Eight hundred yin yuan should be charged!" ”
Teng Shuli hesitated again before turning his head back to the Skeleton King and said, "A total of ...... Hey! Four hundred yin dollars! ”
"Well, the price is fair!"
Skeletron nodded his head to indicate that it was okay, and pulled out a money bag from his body. said that it was a money bag, but it was actually a ** bag, and I don't know how many Yin Yuan were in it. Skeletron opened the bag and fell to the ground, pouring a small pile and asking, "Is it enough?" ”
Teng Shuli saw that there were almost five or six hundred Yin Yuan in the pile, so he hurriedly said, "Enough!" That's enough! ”
Skeletron put away his purse, then stood up and walked over the courtyard wall, stepping on the rhythmic aftershocks all the way away. The ghost bosses also followed, screaming and being satisfied.
"Whew!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After working for a long time, although there was a false alarm, he finally sent this group of plague gods away.
Boss Teng Shuli was happy this time, just the five or six hundred yin yuan given by the Skeleton King could return to the capital, not to mention that he secretly intercepted the shark fin and fish maw of the ghost shark, and today's business is really as predicted by Granny Qin: good luck!
"The bonus has been paid! Bonus is out! He shouted happily, "Every ghost guy goes to the counter and gets a Yin Yuan, the nurse gets two for each person, and the cook gets three for each person!" ”
"Okay!" The crowd cheered.
"I'll give you another half-day off in the afternoon, it's closed!"
"Long live the boss!"
Of course, not all of them are happy. When he was cleaning up and cleaning up the mess, Tian Laolu found out that several luminous fish he had raised had suffered. They were already comfortable in the small pool, and they were particularly uncomfortable when they were squeezed into a water tank, and they suffocated to death at once!
Tian Laolu looked at the only remaining dying luminous fish, and said with a sad face: "Ouch! In ancient times, there was a fire at the city gate, which affected the pond fish. Today's distinguished guests came to the door, and even my luminite fish was harmed! ”
