Chapter 4: Overlord Meal
Sugar gourds are in short supply when they are sold in Luoyang City, and no one cares about them at first, but Zhou Yu's head is not the same as that of people in this era. He took the initiative to give some skilled young ladies and sons a beautiful gift box and gave it to them. These people just tasted it a little, and now it was rumored that Zhou Yu's sugar gourd business was very popular. So Zhou Yu asked Zhou An to buy a small courtyard near the houses in Luoyang City, and arranged some people to make sugar gourds, but these passes were all checked by Zhou Yu himself to ensure that the things made must taste good. New things can always be popular for a while, and Zhou Yu also opened a new sales model, that is, a limited supply, only 500 strings per day! The sweet and sour feeling can also increase people's appetite, and the daily sugar gourd is basically wrapped by dignitaries.
There are people who follow the trend everywhere, and soon the streets and alleys began to imitate Zhou Yu's exclusive sugar gourd, but it is a little difficult to look easy to operate, most of them often do not grasp the heat well, and make the sugar gourd into a black carbon string, compared to Zhou Ji sugar gourd is more popular with people. The price of sugar gourd has risen from two cents at the beginning to ten cents a string, Zhou Yu knows that this kind of small thing is money that can be earned for a period of time, so he turns a blind eye to its price increase, anyway, the money finally flows into his pocket.
It was really boring, and he also had some small money, so Zhou Yu took Zhou An to wander around Luoyang City to look for business opportunities, and felt hungry in his belly, and the two came to a Yuelai restaurant. I entered the restaurant, found an empty table and sat down, and ordered a few side dishes and a small jar of wine. Eating and eating, Zhou Yu felt that the current restaurant was too devoid of water, and there were few dishes that could suit his appetite, so he might as well open a restaurant by himself, anyway, their restaurants were not competitive.
"Little Er, check out!" Just when Zhou Yu was about to finish eating, a young man in a coarse cloth shirt shouted at the table.
"Guest officer, a jar of high-quality flower carvings is twenty yuan, and four side dishes and a bowl of noodles are a total of thirty-five yuan." Xiao Er hurriedly walked to the table and prepared to collect the money.
"Wait—Xiao Er, you're not doing the right thing, right? I ate your bowl of noodles, how can I count the money for food and wine? The young man didn't show a trace of panic, and looked at the shopkeeper with a smile.
"Guest officer, what you said is not right, isn't it that there are wine jars and plates on the table, you said that you just ate a bowl of noodles, and there is no one else at this table? You look at the high-quality Huadiao wine, four dishes, two meat and two vegetables, and a bowl of hot noodle soup, right? The shopkeeper looked at the young man in front of him with some puzzlement, although he was not dressed to be rich and expensive, but he didn't look like a ruffian, so he suppressed the doubts in his heart and continued to explain.
"Little Er, you're coming! What did I order when I first started? Do you remember? The young man slowly picked up the remaining glass of wine in front of him and drank it.
"As soon as the guest officer entered the door, he ordered the signature wine of our store, as well as steamed eight-treasure fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, cold donkey lips, and kung pao chicken."
Zhou Yu heard these dishes smoothly, and said that this young man's taste is quite high, and the people who can order these dishes seem to be either rich or expensive, but he feels that there is something to follow, so he can't help but prick up his ears and listen carefully.
"And how did you answer me, and what did I say?" The young man in cloth reminded the shopkeeper calmly.
"I told the customer that these dishes were more laborious, and the wine was out of stock at the time of the time. Then the guest officer said to exchange these four dishes for a simple one, and replace them with ten miles of fragrance for high-grade flower carvings. In the end, the guest officer ordered a bowl of hot noodle soup alone. Right? The shopkeeper scratched his head, and said the situation of ordering food a little unclearly.
"Hmmm! Since the four dishes I ate were exchanged for the dishes I ordered, and the wine was also exchanged for ten miles of fragrance, why should I pay? I should have given you a bowl of noodles. ”
"The last four dishes and wine were exchanged for the front, but you also gave me the money for the first four dishes and wine? Don't count my recalculations. The shopkeeper felt that what this young man said was reasonable, he had indeed miscalculated, and he should have counted the first four dishes and wine money.
"What a count! Did I eat and drink the first four dishes and wine? The young man continued to lead the way of the shopkeeper.
"Uh-no!"
"What did I not pay for? So just give you a bowl of noodles for money! Think about it carefully......" went around the shop, and Xiao Er began to constantly think about the young man's words, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense.
"Guest officer, you're right! Face money three articles. ”
"Bang ......" The young man took out three copper coins from his waist and put them on the table, and was about to get up and leave.
"Guest, slow down-" The shopkeeper in the store saw that the shopkeeper only charged three pennies for the dishes on the table, and hurriedly ran over.
"What is the matter, shopkeeper? I have important things to do. The young man stopped and turned back to the shopkeeper.
Zhou Yu listened to it for a long time and finally understood, this young man was originally here to eat the overlord meal, and after eating all the good wine and food, he only spent money in the end, and he could make people think about things according to his words, and dug a pit in advance and waited for people to jump into it, it seems that this young man is also a talent, but how does this routine look like a comedy sketch that he has seen before.
"Guest officer, you didn't pay the right amount for food? Please make up the money for your meal. The shopkeeper blocked the young man's path and asked for money with a smile on his face.
"I've paid the bill! What else do you need? The shop just received it! Could it be that you Yuelai Restaurant still charge two cents for a meal? The young man suddenly questioned the shopkeeper, his expression was extremely serious and domineering.
"Shopkeeper, this guest officer has indeed paid!" The shopkeeper replied weakly next to him.
Immediately after that, the shopkeeper repeated the conversation between him and the young man just now to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper also felt that he had miscalculated at this time, but he felt that the food and wine money were so less?
"Guest officer, wait a minute—I'm going to invite our host to come and let him break it?" Old and dull, please forgive me! "It's still not right to think about it, but he can't figure out what the problem is? The guest officer's explanation was also reasonable, and it happened that the owner was on it today, so he sued the inn, asked the shopkeeper to watch the young man, and went up to the second floor to find the owner.
"Come on! The shopkeeper gave this friend a pot of good tea to moisten his throat, and the money was counted in my account. "Zhou Yu knows that this Yuelai Restaurant is an industry under the name of the Yuan family, one of the three princes, and it is easy to say that the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper are good, but it is difficult to say if it is the main owner. However, he still admires the temperament of young people, and has the heart to recruit him under his command, and the person who can sing such a good show is also a talent.
"Thank you, boy! I don't know the name of this son? The young man's eyes lit up when he heard Zhou Yu's words, he knew that the son in front of him had guessed that he was shy, and his series of actions had been seen through by the other party, he glanced at Zhou Yu himself, and saw Zhou Yu's dress and knew that he was a son who was either rich or noble, but the other party did not have a trace of disdain at all, and hurriedly bowed his body and gave a deep salute.
"You're welcome! In the next week, Yu Zi Gongjin, how do you call Gongzi? Zhou Yu nodded to the young man with a smile, signaling that he didn't have to say something if he understood something.
"Under Zhang Shiping, there are no words! Zhou Gongzi is polite! Luoyang Ling Zhou Xian is the son's ......" Obviously, Zhang Shiping has heard of Zhou Yu's name, Zhou Yu's name is also famous due to the advent of the sugar gourd, but it is a contemptuous statement in the scholar class, saying that the Zhou family is also an official eunuch family, I didn't expect that the descendants who came out would be willing to degenerate to be a trader, and the whole dynasty was ridiculing Zhou Xian's family unfortunate, if Zhou Yu hadn't given Zhou Xian a preventive shot in advance, it is estimated that Zhou Yu would have been hung on a tree by Zhou Xian to enforce family law.
"It's my father! You seem to have heard my name, I guess my reputation is not good? Zhou Yu was cheated by the Yuan family brothers, and has become a laughing stock in the second generation of Luoyang officials, but he doesn't mind this, sooner or later he will let the Yuan family brothers die under his own knife. and personally made sugar gourds to sell, which is really insulting to the Zhou family, at least many people despise themselves.
"Zhou Gongzi, I know that Zhou Ji Sugar Gourd is your masterpiece, as for the others, it is hearsay! I haven't been able to visit the meeting, it's rude and rude! Zhang Shiping got up and bowed to Zhou Yu again. In Zhang Shiping's view, to be able to make such a sensational effect on a small thing, the vision must be unique. It is rare to be able to meet such a master, and it is also a blessing for him Zhang Shiping in his third life!
"No need to be polite! Who doesn't have a dragon trapped in the shallows-" Zhou Yu was halfway through his speech when he was suddenly interrupted by an arrogant voice.
"Hey...... Dare to come to Yuelai Restaurant to eat overlord meal, boy, you are so daring! Come on! Fence me up - you don't ask who this is, now your Uncle Yuan wants to have a good look! "From upstairs walked a boy in a fancy costume with triangular eyes and two mustaches.
Hulala-the second junior in the restaurant, the chef, and the attendant surrounded Zhang Shiping, holding sticks and stir-fry spoons in their hands.
"Boy, come and calculate the cost of your meal for me again, and let your Uncle Yuan listen! I said that I would let you go, and if I didn't say well, I would put down one thing for me today and leave. What do you think? The prince in the Chinese costume sat in front of Zhang Shiping with a knife, and the cruel look on his face was unobstructed. He followed the rise of the general boy who was drinking and drinking, and heard the return of the shopkeeper. In an instant, he heard that the person below was here to cheat and cheat, and if he dared to come to the Yuan family's territory to spread wildness, it would be to slap him in the face of the Yuan family, so he hurriedly walked down angrily.
When the people in the restaurant saw that something was wrong, they all hurriedly checked out and left, but Zhou Yu didn't care about this scene at all, Zhang Shiping was a person he planned to secure. Just take this opportunity to break his wrist with the Yuan family to see how many catties and taels his Yuan family's children have!
