Chapter 30: I'm the Boss
The carriage drove smoothly, and before it arrived at Jianghuai, Bai Qingqing already knew the main reason for the decline in the turnover of his Qingtian Restaurant - the emergence of counterfeit goods in an endless stream.
To say that it is a fake, in fact, it is a bit far-fetched, at most it is an imitation.
The recipe for this hot pot is really simple and easy, a pot and a few plates of meat, and dipping dishes are just common items such as sesame oil and sesame sauce. Why is she allowed Bai Qingqing to open a sunny day restaurant, and she is not allowed to open an old white shabu meat shop next to her?
Everyone wants to make money at home, and it is reasonable that people will naturally have hot eyes when the hot pot business is doing well.
Even in the 21st century, KFC, which sells fried chicken burgers, has McDonald's as a competitor.
Thinking like this, Bai Qingqing was a little more considerate of the feelings of others.
And because of the thought of fried chicken and fries, my eyes lit up - when the operation of the Sunny Sky Restaurant is improved, I must open a fried chicken restaurant!
Because it was the first time for Tian Tian to go out, everything he saw was very novel, and he stopped the carriage several times and asked Sang Zhi to take him to buy some small things.
Qinghua also saw the outside world for the first time, but because he had grown up a few years old and already understood a lot of things, he was embarrassed to trouble Xiao Bai to stop at night and did not go out for a walk.
Seeing her like this, Bai Qingqing was relieved, and simply asked Xiao Baiye to park the carriage on the side of the road, and the group of five happily went shopping in the market.
Back in the carriage, Bai Qingqing and the others each had a rock sugar gourd, laughing and laughing, happy as if they were celebrating the New Year.
And Tian Tian took a bite of the icing on the rock sugar gourd and said, "It would be nice if the master was also there." ”
Cracking sound......
In this way, I drove all the way into Jianghuai County easily and smoothly, and as soon as I entered the city gate, I heard a burst of firecrackers.
Lift the curtain and look out, a restaurant is opening, the boss is dressed in joy, hands clenched fists, to the surrounding diners who are watching the lively diners: "Ladies and gentlemen, the small shop is open today, and the whole audience is 50% off." Ximeng lamb, eat the first bite to ensure that you want to eat the second bite, eat the second bite to ensure that you want to eat this bite every day! ”
When she heard the "five folds of the audience", Bai Qingqing's eyes lit up - can you not have wool!
So he got out of the carriage with great interest, and the shopkeeper untied the red cloth on the plaque and opened the door.
And when the boss turned around and opened the sign to prepare for business, Bai Qingqing and Xiao Baiye were dumbfounded, only to see four big characters written on the plaque: "Qingtian Restaurant!" ”
When the surrounding diners saw these four words, they all started to talk about it.
"This restaurant and the sunny day restaurant are the same owner? Why do the names look so similar? ”
"Maybe it's a branch, the business of the Sunny Day Restaurant is so good, it has swallowed the bookstore next to it within a year, and the expansion has doubled, and it should open another branch."
"The business of their restaurant is really good, not to mention the food, but those little two are also handsome, and they look at it."
"Harm, if you want me to say, if this sunny day restaurant is willing, their branch can be opened in the capital."
"Who said it wasn't, a few days ago, my family's brother-in-law in the official mansion said that the Grand Duke of Wei came to our Jianghuai again, just to eat a bite of this famous sunny hot pot."
Passers-by were chattering about what Bai Qingqing didn't pay attention to, and the words "sunny day" and "clear sky" kept flashing in her mind, and she thought of the biscuits she bought in the 21st century - the "Oreo" she obviously bought, and when she walked out of the supermarket, she saw that the biscuit box was written "Yue Li Yue".
Xiao Baiye listened to the surrounding discussions, and scolded the hot shopkeeper in front of him in his heart. And he was also surprised that his good brother came to Jianghuai - does he love hot pot so much? Aren't you busy fighting for power and profit, busy eating hot pot? Aren't you afraid of gout if you eat too much hot pot?
The brother and sister walked into the restaurant with different thoughts, settled Tian Tian far away from the door, and waited for Xiao Er to bring them the menu.
I don't know if it's because the newly opened Xiaoer is not proficient in business, or because there are too many customers at the meal, and I haven't seen anyone come after waiting for a long time, and I haven't even served a cup of hot tea.
This was also the case at the next few tables, and the people around were a little irritable for a while.
"The branch and the main store on this sunny day are really incomparable, if nothing else, Xiao Er's appearance is not as handsome."
"There's no such cleverness, so let's just wait here dryly."
"I'm afraid that this sunny day restaurant is relying on its own reputation, only caring about making money, and it can't be compared to before."
"This is already the case with the first branch, and I'm afraid that in the future, it won't be much better."
Bai Qingqing listened to the surrounding discussion and had a burst of angina - Axi, who said that this "Qingtian Restaurant" is a branch on a sunny day, why don't you just name it "Rainy Day Restaurant", there are also windy days, cloudy days, haze days, and snowy days......
We don't carry this pot!
Just as he was thinking about how to clarify it, he heard a man say angrily: "Shopkeeper, your mutton is really Ximeng mutton?" ”
This man's voice was like a bell, his face was dark, and he was wearing a blue linen jacket, and at first glance he was a martial artist who often waited at the border.
The noisy hall fell silent for a moment, and everyone's attention was focused on the shopkeeper and the man.
When the shopkeeper saw this situation, his face was a little stunned, and he only smiled and said to him: "Guest officer, you have eaten well, I am giving you two plates of potatoes, you wait a minute." ”
As he spoke, he was about to anoint the soles of his feet, and the big man waved his long arm and grabbed the sleeve of the shopkeeper, who struggled for a while, knowing that he obediently stopped in place.
"Let me ask you, is this restaurant really a semicolon of Qingtian Restaurant?" The man asked solemnly.
"Yes...... Oh, yes. ”
"In that case, why is it called a clear sky instead of a sunny day?"
"This ...... This is because the plaque was careless when it was carved, and it was already about to open when it was discovered, so I was afraid of delaying the auspicious time......"
"I heard that there are some black-hearted merchants in Jianghuai who started a restaurant business today, taking the corpses of dead rats and dead cats and dogs into slices to make meat for cooking hot pot, so the price is very low."
There were already diners eating hot pot around him who put down their chopsticks with disgust on their faces.
"Cat and dog meat? I'm a Manchu, I can't eat dog meat, my father knew about it and wanted to kill me. ”
"Rats?" It's disgusting, too.
"Don't worry, my restaurant uses pure mutton, don't support this person and talk nonsense, we pay attention to the authenticity of the goods in our business." The shopkeeper was a little anxious when he saw this scene, and hurriedly explained.
"Who knows if what you're saying is false?" The big man asked in a loud voice.
"You're here to smash the field today, aren't you?" The shopkeeper was thoroughly enraged. "How do you prove that my meat is not mutton?"
"This restaurant is not a sunny semicolon at all, you can lie about your own signboard, what are those plates of meat?" The big man answered lazily.
"Why do you say that?"
"Just because I'm the owner of the Sunny Sky Restaurant." A purple-robed man stood up slowly, with a graceful temperament......
