Chapter 15: The Beggars Make Trouble
In the afternoon, Zou Shiyan can go home with the dinner prepared by the kitchen, and Tang Dong's normal business is from midnight to mid-afternoon, and the evening is all about the distinguished guests who have booked a meal, so the shopkeeper can leave early if the things are arranged.
When he got home, Zou Shichu was waiting at the door early, eating steamed buns and cabbage during the day, waiting for the meal brought back by his eldest brother in the evening.
"Big brother is finally back, Chu'er misses you."
Zou Shichu stepped forward to take the food box, and couldn't wait to run back to the room and open them one by one, it was still very rich like yesterday's, three dishes and one soup, all of which he loved to eat.
"Big brother, you seem to be in a good mood today." Zou Shichu hadn't noticed his eldest brother because he was thinking about eating, but when he looked at it, he found that his eldest brother had been smiling faintly from the moment he entered the door.
It's weird, it's so weird, how could a big brother like wood laugh.
Zou Shiyan touched his little brother's head and sat down, and then said, "Big brother, I've learned a lot today, you should also eat quickly, read books, and learn something."
"What did the eldest brother learn, is it related to Sister Tang?" Zou Shiyan put a piece of meat in his mouth, seemingly asking casually, but in fact, he had been muttering in his heart for a long time.
"Let's eat."
Zou Shiyan wanted to avoid this topic, sandwiched the dishes for his younger brother, and continued to work at the dock after eating quickly, because of the second aunt's request, Zou Shiyan had to come out at night to do a job, which was just enough to give the second aunt a day's wages.
Zou Shichu was very distressed when he looked at his eldest brother who worked so hard, and after packing up his things, he buried himself in hard study, because he knew that the only thing he could do for his brother was to gain fame.
After several days of work, Zou Shiyan also adapted to the current short time, and he was not very tired to do it, and what he did in Tangdong was also particularly recognized by the guys.
"It seems that Zou Shiyan, this kid is doing well." Tang Fuchang looked at Zou Shiyan, who was busy keeping accounts downstairs, and nodded with satisfaction.
Shopkeeper Wu just came back from reading the account book, and he also touched his short beard and said: "The bookkeeping is orderly, the handwriting is also good, it is indeed a good seedling, for a person who has just done this business, Zou Gongzi can be regarded as very smart."
"The two of you are here to assess Tang Dong's shopkeeper." Tang Chu heard that his father and the shopkeeper Wu were coming, so he put down what he was doing and went upstairs, but he didn't expect to hear the comments of these two people on Zou Shiyan as soon as he entered the door.
Not to mention more, Tang Chu is naturally very happy to be recognized by these two.
"The fact that he can do this shows that you taught well." Tang Fuchang smiled, slyly trying to see something from his daughter's eyes, but he didn't observe that he was a little disappointed in what he wanted.
I knew that if this was the case, when my daughter was going to marry Zou Shiyan, I should have supported it 100%, alas, Zou Shiyan has a good character and is smart, but it's a pity.
Hearing a few slight sighs from his father, Tang Chu smiled and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Suddenly sighed, could it be that you are still thinking about what happened before your daughter and Zou Gongzi? It's all gone, and my daughter is innocent with him now. ”
Tang Chu didn't know his father, and he wanted to find himself a son-in-law with a good character and the best way to inherit the family business, so in his previous life, he allowed himself to marry Zou Shiyan, who he liked very much.
"You, you, forget it, although your boss is not small, but your father can still afford it, and your husband is not worried about your marriage."
Now his daughter doesn't need him to worry about it every day, although it's a little sad to say, but her daughter has indeed grown up.
Because Tang Fuchang was negotiating a business with salt recently, he told his daughter a few words and left, but the shopkeeper Wu stayed to ask Tang Chu about the problem.
"Uncle Wu, you are the old man of our Tang family, and you are embarrassed to say anything."
Looking at the shopkeeper Wu's hesitation, Tang Chu was a little anxious.
"Miss, that's the case, our Tang Chun is also the master's original storefront, and then there are Tang Zhong and Tang Dong, Tang Dong is the last to open, but in the past few years, it has always been far ahead, Tang Zhong is okay, it is opened in the middle of the teahouse, and now it is slowly beginning to change the model, but Tang Chun has always done good business."
"The distinguished guests who came down from the capital are all invited to Tangchun, and the characters with heads and faces are basically coming to Tangchun, and the location of Tangchun is also excellent, facing the sunset attic, facing the shadow bridge, and it is also a place where the young ladies love to go, but why is this business always so bad?"
Shopkeeper Wu was also very depressed when he said it, after all, he had worked hard to take care of Tang Chun for so many years, and this was slowly going downhill, can he not be in a hurry?
After listening to the distress of the shopkeeper Wu, Tang Chu couldn't help but seriously began to think about this problem, there are three restaurants opened by the Tang family, everyone will definitely choose one to eat because of the same owner, and now Tang Dong is more popular with everyone because of the new dishes he has launched, so the other two will definitely be affected.
"In this way, tomorrow Shopkeeper Wu, you will also call Tang Zhong's Shopkeeper Hu, and we will discuss how to average the customer's affairs."
Shopkeeper Wu naturally responded with a mouthful, but what would be the result of just preparing for a meeting to discuss in the evening, Shopkeeper Wu couldn't help but feel that he was old, and he would be so confused that he would ask a girl.
After Shopkeeper Wu left, Tang Chu wrote down all the dishes that had prevailed in his previous life according to his memory, then sorted them out, and then asked Li Tao to take time to practice.
If you want to say that Li Tao does have a bit of cooking skills, because he was pressed to death by holding the cook before, and his skills were all learned secretly, and in the month when Tang Chu paid attention to it, his cooking skills improved by leaps and bounds, as long as Tang Chu could say it, he could make it, and he was very perceptive.
"Miss, go downstairs and take a look, there's a beggar making trouble down there."
Shuangxi hurriedly ran to the back kitchen, seeing her appearance, Tang Chu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately followed to the front hall, at this time there were already many people around.
"Your Tang Dong's dishes are like this, they are all the same, there is nothing special at all, it is better to eat elsewhere." The man with messy hair, ragged clothes, commented on Tang Dong without scruples in the crowd.
Zou Shiyan was on the side, looking at such an arrogant person, although he didn't get discouraged when he met him for the first time, he said to him with an abacus: "A bowl of meat noodles with spicy fried pork slices costs a total of twenty-two yuan."
"Eh, what's the situation, I said your dish is not delicious, why do you still charge me money?" It was the first time the beggar had met such a calm person, and he couldn't help but ask rhetorically.
After all, he is usually like this, and he has long been kicked out by the shopkeeper.
"It's in your mouth, or pay for it."
