Hearing this, several people came to the front of the store, Du Lan looked up at the plaque "Ten Mile Shop", without thinking too much, she guessed the intention of the name of the store at once, if it is not the meaning of the fragrance of ten miles, it is to hope that the shop will be famous.

It can be seen that when the store first opened the shop, it had great hopes for the shop.

"Let's go, let's go first." Gu Youan said.

Du Lan nodded, raised his feet and stepped in, Gu Youan followed him, followed by the entertaining uncle and his daughter.

Entering the lobby, Du Lan took a closer look, this shop is not large, but it has two floors, so it is not small.

The shop was deserted, there were not many diners, and there seemed to be no buddies, only the owner of the shop, a middle-aged man, was busy himself.

When he saw Duran come in, he paused for a moment, and then, as if he hadn't seen it, he served food to the few diners with a blank face.

Duran frowned slightly, the boss didn't greet her, no matter what, he must be unhappy about the transfer of the store, he didn't have to think about it, so Duran led people up to the second floor.

Xu Hening, Xue Yan, and Chen Jingting sat at the table near the window and ate in a big gulp. Seeing Du Lan and Gu You'an, Chen Jingting stood up happily, and was just about to beckon them to take their seats, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the two of them behind him.

He suddenly wondered: "Duran, who are they?" ”

While asking, he looked at the father and daughter carefully, and they were full of the smell of wind and dust.

Xue Yan was also stunned for a moment, as far as he knew, Du Lan and the master did not make many friends, especially because of the special identity of the master, he was more vigilant, stood up, and stared at the man with eagle-like eyes full of vigilance.

"I don't know who the two are?"

The man who was performing the show came into contact with his unkind eyes, and immediately cheered up, "It was this son and his wife who saved us, and let us follow, saying that they would take our father and daughter to the hospital to see the doctor later." We didn't want to disturb our benefactors, but ......"

Seeing that the man was embarrassed, Gu Youan hurriedly explained: "Brother Xue, they are performing on the street and are being bullied by street gangsters, Duran and I can't look past it, so I helped by the way." ”

Duran wondered, "Hey, Brother Xue, didn't you just secretly help us teach those gangsters a lesson?" ”

Xue Yan rolled his eyes, only to see Gu Youan glaring at him, and immediately understood, it seems that the master has made a lot of progress these days. He changed his words: "I'm asking, why are they following you?" ”

"Brother Xue, help people to the end, I was asking you to take them to your friend's hospital to see the injury, I thought to myself that with an acquaintance like you, the consultation fee should not be overcharged, hehe." Duran didn't doubt him, so he explained with a smile.

Xue Yan nodded, Chen Jingting warmly beckoned them to sit down, and after they sat down, Du Lan asked what was confused in his heart.

"Brother Xu, looking at the scale of this house, it should be a medium-sized restaurant, how did you find this? What's wrong with this restaurant? ”

Xu Hening said with a smile: "Since it is a restaurant, so as not to deal with the winery, this restaurant also sells my wine." I can tell from his alcohol quota that this restaurant has not been doing well in recent years, especially this year. This restaurant has been open for three years, but the business is getting worse and worse, and the diners are getting fewer and fewer. You look out! ”

Saying that, Xu Hening changed the topic, and Du Lan looked out the window curiously, opposite was a restaurant called Xiangpinge, according to the location, both of them occupy a good location on this street. Especially now that it's just in time for lunch, the opposite side looks full of people, but this house is crowded and extremely deserted.

She retracted her gaze and instantly understood something, the business is not good and can't be run, she looked around the second floor of this house again, the environment is elegant, much cleaner and more hygienic than the lobby on the first floor. I continued to watch, only to find that there was another floor of the stairs, and when I looked up, I was surprised that there was a third floor here. It's just that the staircase on the third floor is full of broken tables and stools.

She was suddenly full of curiosity, "Brother Xu, is he putting sundries on the third floor?" ”

No, according to this location, the rent should not be cheap, and being deserted is equivalent to wasting rent.

Xu Hening saw her doubts, so he explained: "Duran is subtle, you must have thought of the problem. In the past, this ten-mile shop was indeed prosperous, and the third floor was a private room. There are many rich and noble families who come here. It's just that you also understand that the richer and richer the family, the more tricky your mouth becomes, and the more you get used to eating, the more you get tired of it, and the fewer times you come over time. Coupled with the fact that there is more than one restaurant on this street, the business of Shilipu is declining day by day. only relied on ordinary people to eat, and the income was obviously a little beyond their means, so he later fired a few guys. Later, there were not enough manpower, and the third floor was too busy to be busy, and the business on the third floor was extremely scarce, so the third floor was simply closed. ”

Duran heard that there was no vicious circle of innovation in Shilipu, and in the end it couldn't be operated, just like now it must not even be able to pay the rent, she sighed.

She nodded silently and looked at the food on this plate, the dish was very ordinary, but the rice was like a rice bowl. According to her opinion, this boss should be a southerner, who came to the north to do business, and everyone came to eat it when it was fresh, and then everyone ate it, so it is not uncommon.

Just like her sweet and sour fish, everyone was curious and greedy at first, and they were used to eating it as an ordinary meal.

Then she used her chopsticks to taste it, and the taste was okay, but the dishes were too monotonous.

"Brother Xu, can I go to the kitchen and take a look?"

"Huh? You wait for me for a while, and I'll go down and talk to the boss. Xu Hening stood up and went downstairs.

Soon he shouted upstairs, and the shopkeeper agreed.

As a chef, Duran has long wanted to take a look at the kitchen, especially this restaurant that is about to become his own.

Gu Youan followed behind him and also went to the kitchen together, the father and daughter were already hungry, and because Duran told them to eat first, they also devoured it unceremoniously.

When I went into the kitchen, the place was quite spacious, there were no guys, and the kitchen seemed even more empty. The boss personally fried rice naturally to be very busy, and it is gratifying that the main feature of the rice bowl is the combination of meals, as long as the food is always hot, the diners can eat it at any time when they come. It can be said to be the fast food of ancient times.

The dishes are all fried by the store beforehand.

After reading the food, Duran continued to look at it, and the kitchenware in the kitchen was readily available, which shows that there was also a division of labor here at the beginning, from the big spoon to the side dishes.

Soon, the shop came in and served a few more dishes out, again without glancing at Duran.

Gu Youan was afraid that Du Lan would feel uncomfortable, so he hurriedly comforted her: "Maybe the shopkeeper is uncomfortable, let's not go to our hearts." ”

Duran smiled, "Will I?" As a chef, I understand his feelings. I don't see that there are many ingredients in the kitchen, but the fish in the pot is fresh, so it is better for me to cook and cook a few dishes by myself. ”

"This ......" Gu Youan was a little worried, she hadn't taken over Shilipu yet, and using other people's things without permission would make people disgusted.

Du Lan smiled: "You can see that the guests who came only ordered rice bowls, they should have just come for a light meal, not to eat big fish and meat." And according to my observation, we've been here for a quarter of an hour, and no other diners have entered the restaurant, which means that there won't be a few customers after the meal. ”

"Okay then, it's a big deal, let's pay for it, if you want to eat it, I'll pay for it." Gu Youan didn't want to sweep the lady's fun, knowing that her hands were itchy when she saw the ingredients.

Gu Youan stayed and put his hand down, thinking about what she said about pouring rice just now, and suddenly asked: "Lady, the rice bowl you are talking about is this rice of the Queen Mother of the Yellow Dynasty, right?" ”

"Huh?" Duran was stunned for a moment, her hand stopped in mid-air, she almost forgot that this meal was not called this name earlier, "I saw it look like this, so I said it casually." ”

"Oh." Gu Youan responded thoughtfully, but in his heart, she said that pouring rice was smooth, especially since she was a cook, and he didn't think it was casually made up to call a meal name so quickly.

But if you see through it or not, no matter what she says, he just believes it.

Du Lan made a dish of steamed Wuchang fish and a stir-fried beef brisket, and then served two plates of rice bowls, and served them to the second floor with Gu Youan.

As soon as he went up, Xue Yan smelled the fragrance and couldn't help but turn his head, Du Lan was walking over with steamed Wuchang fish.

"Oh, today is another blessing."

The voice fell, the plate fell, looking at the Wuchang fish on the plate, the knife edge of the fish body was cut evenly, and it was sprinkled with green and red minced powder, and it was steaming with a hot aroma at the moment, which was particularly attractive.

The father and daughter couldn't help but swallow their saliva, their father and daughter went to the rivers and lakes to perform arts, even if they occasionally went to the restaurant, they rarely ordered those dishes that they couldn't afford just by looking at their names. Needless to say, these two dishes must cost thousands of dollars on the recipe, or even one or two taels of silver.

Look at the brisket again, brown and bright, the patterns in the meat are like clouds, curling and unfolding layer by layer in the meat, plus the meat is soft and mellow, and the fragrance is overflowing, which makes the father and daughter greedy.

Although they are greedy, they are already grateful when they know that they are willing to come to the rescue, how can they eat such expensive food.

Especially in these years, beef is not cheap, and cattle are the first hand of farmers.

"Gu Gongzi, Mrs. Gu, our father and son are full, you eat slowly, Haiyun and I will go downstairs to rest." The merchandiser said.

"Uncle, the dishes are served, why don't you give me a taste of my craftsmanship?" Duran saw that he was embarrassed, so he found a reason to stay.

"We were so full, smelling the aroma, it must be delicious, so we didn't taste it." The entertainer still refused, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at the plate a few times.

His daughter was quite cooperative, and also shirked: "Mrs. Gu, you saved us, we haven't eaten after a hard time, you can eat quickly." ”

Chen Jingting couldn't wait for a long time, picked up the chopsticks and ate them with relish, and said vaguely while chewing: "Everyone knows each other, this is fate, are you polite." The old man's mother-in-law and mother's-mother, besides, the food and rice are cold. ”

A touch of embarrassment flashed on the man's face, he just didn't want to accept too much favor from others, he was indeed trapped by people just now, she saved them, and he was grateful in his heart. But if you follow others to eat, you will be thick-skinned.

Seeing that they were deadlocked, Xue Yan smiled and said: "It's just a meal, you don't have to take it too seriously, besides, as you said, your life has been saved, do you still care about this meal, sit down and eat together." ”

Xu Hening actually wanted to say this, but in front of Du Lan and Gu Youan, it seemed that Xue Yan had more right to speak, and only when Xue Yan agreed, he smiled and said: "That's it, sit down and let's talk while eating, and we should make friends." ”

"Then, thank you, Mrs. Gu." Haiyun sat back down at once, and put down his chopsticks according to the beef.

Her father's face was full of embarrassment, "This kid, why is it rude." This ......"

"Uncle, you can also sit down and eat, none of the people at our table are small-bellied, you can eat with your belly open." Gu Youan pulled the uncle with a pleasant face and asked him to sit beside him.

As soon as the uncle sat down, he was about to thank him, when the wooden staircase was trampled on, and the shopkeeper rushed to the dining table, his face was red and his neck was thick, and he was angry when he looked at this posture.
